ZF-6819: Zend_File_Transfer_Adapter_Http upload failure when using Rename filter
I wanted to have an upload field, which would not overwrite any existing file (if I uploaded two foobar.jpg files, the second one would fail with an error message).
In order to do that, I had following code in 1.7.*:
$element->setLabel('Upload a file')
array('overwrite' => false));
Everything worked fine. In 1.8.1, there is a change in Zend_File_Transfer_Adapter_Http at the line 160 and following:
$filename = $directory . $content['name'];
$rename = $this->getFilter('Rename');
if ($rename !== null) {
$filename = $rename->getNewName($content['tmp_name']);
$key = array_search(get_class($rename), $this->_files[$file]['filters']);
That leads to Zend_Filter_File_Rename::getNewName(), which returns $content['tmp_name'] with no change. After that, back in Zend_File_Transfer_Adapter_Http, a move_uploaded_file is being called, with the same file name in both attributes, leading to a PHP error and upload failure (uploaded file is not copied to the desired destination)
Warning: move_uploaded_file() [function.move-uploaded-file]: Unable to move 'D:\Web\Upload\php1C3F.tmp' to 'D:\Web\Upload\php1C3F.tmp' in D:\Web\Lib\Zend\File\Transfer\Adapter\Http.php on line 169
Solution to this issue is either remove the rename filter, or add a "target" parameter - which works, but is not usable for my situation. I don't want to change any name, I just want to ensure that existing file won't be rewrited on the server.

Hercules (NYSE: HPC) is a manufacturer and marketer of specialty chemicals and related services for a range of business, consumer, and industrial applications.
Company Description
Hercules accumulated a war chest and set out to reinvent itself. It was a bidder for National Starch when Unilever decided to sell. (ICI won the bidding). Later it acquired Betz-Dearborn, but at a price that nearly drove it into bankruptcy. Betz-Dearborn was sold to General Electric.
The rest of Hercules, primarily its specialty chemicals business based on thickeners like carboxymethyl cellulose and hydroxypropyl cellulose, was acquired by Ashland Chemicals.
Hercules was founded as an explosives manufacturer headquartered in Wilmington, DE, when the justice department forced a breakup of Dupont under antitrust laws. The third component was Atlas Powder, which later became part of ICI. At one time it became a leading producer of polypropylene and terephthalic acid, a raw material for polyesters, but was caught by rising oil prices for raw materials in the 1970s. The company gradually declined thereafter. The rosin and tall oil fatty acid business acquired after World War I was sold to Eastman Chemical in 2001.

'Integrated Cloud Environment' provides easy anytime, anywhere access to vital business information and printing on the go
Malvern, PA, August 6, 2013 - Ricoh Americas Corporation today unveiled a bold new cloud strategy to help small and medium businesses, schools (both K-12 and Higher Education institutions) and other organizations lower costs and improve productivity by empowering their mobile workers with instant, remote access to important content wherever they are on the planet.Ricoh's cloud platform, called the Integrated Cloud Environment (ICE), is a single interface connecting mobile workers to cloud services for document storage, management and printing via Ricoh multifunction products (MFPs). ICE serves up connectors for an industry-leading number of 16 cloud services, including Google Drive™, Ricoh DocumentMall, Dropbox® and Evernote®, and comes standard with the most powerful optical character recognition (OCR) engine powered by ABBYY. Together, the services present an ideal way for mobile workers to expand their capabilities and for companies to advance their bring-your-own device (BYOD) strategies.(1)"Ricoh's ICE solution has resulted in an incredible cost savings for our business," said Fritz Hovey, Operations Manager, Herth Real Estate. "And by scanning directly to the cloud, we've been able to remove a step of saving scanned documents to the server, ultimately streamlining the entire process."ICE enables companies such as Herth to use the Internet as their IT infrastructure. When scanning paper documents from an MFP to cloud storage services, ICE automatically uses its powerful OCR to turn them into fully searchable and editable PDF, Word or Excel documents. Mobile workers can access and print these documents from any location in the world via a smartphone, tablet, PC or the MFP itself. No local network connection or printer driver is required. The print capability follows the worker.With ICE:• Scanned documents are no longer frozen as opaque image files. • Organizations don't need to take multiple time-consuming steps to move them to the cloud.• Customers don't need IT staffs to buy, install and manage hardware and software for document management and OCR. • Administrators don't need to type hard copy documents into computers to make them accessible and useful to mobile workers. • Mobile workers who want to print a document no longer need to email it to colleagues at workstations to have them do the printing. • Organizations don't need to lose valuable business information that, with ICE, could have easily entered the enterprise workflow. A salesperson, for example, can scan a purchase order and have it flow directly into Salesforce.com, accessible to everyone who needs to use the information for sales, service and support."ICE is a breakthrough for mobilizing information and making it work for mobile and in-office employees alike," said Jason Dizzine, Vice President, Technology Marketing, Ricoh Americas Corporation. "It's also an ideal way for companies to initiate their cloud strategies with minimal risk. ICE reflects Ricoh's broader commitment to providing our customers with services that unlock the potential of documents regardless of its format or location."People at work with ICE• A law firm can use ICE to capture contracts and store them electronically in NetDocuments® and easily find them for review. • A manufacturer can easily share marketing collateral through ICE with its distributed mobile sales force's smartphones and tablets. • A college professor can use ICE to scan graded paper tests to Evernote, enabling student advisors around campus to print them out on demand.• A real estate agent can strike a deal with a buyer during a home showing and use ICE to immediately produce a purchase and sales agreement form.• Business travelers can scan their receipts directly to accounting software instead of stapling, packaging and mailing hard copies to their business office. • Any worker can scan a document to any email address, automatically converting it to editable text.To scan documents to the cloud, users choose a destination through the ICE interface on their MFPs. To print from any smartphone or tablet, they access Ricoh Print Cloud through ICE, enabling them to release the document from any ICE-enabled MFP on the planet – simply by typing in a six-digit code. ICE data transmissions are secured by 128-bit SSL encryption. Ricoh's storage and OCR data center is SAS 70/SSAE 16-compliant.Customers with Ricoh's optional MFP browser enabled can obtain the ICE services in two versions: the Standard ICE Module, which includes OCR plus the connectors to numerous scanning apps; and Premium Apps, which provides the advanced mobile printing functionality. ICE supports all major mobile platforms, including iPhone®, iPad®, Android™, BlackBerry®, Windows® Phone and Palm.ICE currently provides connectors that support 16 cloud services (customer's must establish and pay for their own accounts to each cloud service):Google DriveEvernoteEgnyte®Scan to Print CloudPrint from Print CloudHightail™ (formerly YouSendIt™)DocumentMallSalesforce.com®Concur®SharePoint® on premise/SharePoint 365DropboxBox.net®Scan to emailNetDocumentsNetSuite®eFax®For details on Ricoh's full line of products, services and solutions, please visit www.ricoh-usa.com.| About Ricoh |Ricoh is a global technology company specializing in office imaging equipment, production print solutions, document management systems and IT services.

After flipping through the newspapers and surfing the web for the two weeks of news I've missed from vacation/honeymoon, July 2010 so far could be one of the most interesting summers of sports news of the new millennium.
Is this an exaggeration? Let's rewind the tape of the biggest sports stories since July 1 and you can make the call.
1. LeBron James announces move to Miami Heat. Just think, when the Boston Celtics' big 3 got together, they were considered to be nearing the end of their prime and still won a championship. That is partly what makes LeBron James' southern expedition to Florida to join two other superstars in their prime, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh, so intriguing. That, in addition, to witnessing a Mark Cuban-like meltdown from Cavs owner Dan Gilbert. The good news for basketball fans? The LeBron mania free agency coverage hype is over. The bad news? The LeBron "Heatwave" hype coverage is just beginning.
2. Spain wins the 2010 Fifa World Cup. I was sitting on a plane waiting to take off from Puerto Rico back home to Orlando when about 35 people started screaming in unison. Thankfully, it was due to Spain winning its first World Cup and not an old engine.
3. George Steinbrenner. "The Boss" passed away in a Tampa hospital this week and leaves behind a storied legacy as the New York Yankees owner.
4. The National League All-Stars. It's been 13 long seasons since the NL has won the All-Star game ending the longest losing drought in All-Star history. Oddly enough, this happened in a season when two pitchers had perfect games — almost three if you overlook the blown umpire call against Armando Galarraga.
So what do you think? Has it been a pretty eventful July? Or is this business as usual?

Women's Basketball Wins 25th Consecutive Ivy Game, Upends Penn 77-47
As they have done for the past three years, the Princeton women's basketball team put together another dominating Ivy League victory. This time the Tigers dropped Penn, 77-47, in their 2013 Ivy season opener Saturday afternoon at Jadwin Gym. With the victory, Princeton not only improves to 10-5, but also extends its Ivy winning streak to 25 and home winning streak to 14.
Megan Bowen powered the Tiger offense with a team-high 14 points, matching a career-best with seven field goals (7-for-10). Joining Bowen in double figures was junior Kristen Helmstetter, who had 12 points and tied a career-high with seven assists. The forward made her first career Ivy League start versus the Quakers, seeing 25 minutes of action.
Bowen and Helmstetter combined for Princeton's first 11 of 13 points, as the Tigers opened on an immediate 13-0 tear by the fifth minute of play. From that point forward the Quakers did not have a chance to keep the game within range.
By the 8:30-minute mark, Princeton established a 20-point differential, 26-6, as the offense flourished finding the basket. They went into halftime with a 35-16 lead.
Like the first half, the Tiger starting five, including sophomore Blake Dietrick who made also made her first Ivy start, continued to dismantle the Quakers' attempts at cutting down the lead.
The Tigers made a season-high 28 assists behind nine dishes from Dietrick. She finished with eight points and six boards, tying Niveen Rasheed for rebounding leader.
Scoring in double figures for the 14th time this season and 13th consecutive, Rasheed tallied 10 points, while adding three assists and three steals to round out Princeton's top scorers.
Princeton committed only eight turnovers, while forcing Penn to concede the ball 17 times and converted that into 26 points. The Tiger bench also finished with 26 points, as Michelle Miller accounted for eight to lead the subs.
Following a break for finals, the Tigers will resume conference play on the road with Cornell on Friday, Feb. 1 and Columbia the next day.

Do not Trash the Incentive! Monetary incentives and waste sorting
- Published
- Fri Dec 2 2011
- Number of discussion paper
- keyword(s)
waste management
- abstract
This paper examines whether monetary incentives are an effective tool for increasing domestic waste sorting. We exploit the exogenous variation in the waste management policies experienced during the years 1999–2008 by the 95 municipalities in the district of Treviso (Italy). We estimate with a panel analysis that pay-as-you-throw (PAYT) incentive schemes increase by 12.3% the sorted-total waste ratio. This increase reflects a change in the behavior of households, who keep unaltered the production of total waste but sort it to a larger extent. Our data show that household behavior is also influenced by the policies of adjacent municipalities.

ZF-10589: Zend_Db_Select::having() and Zend_Db_Select::orHaving() with empty "$value" param ("0" or an "empty string")
Hi All,
Ticket #10000 on the bug tracker has added a functionality and was committed on release r22850.
It changes Zend_Db_Select::having() method and Zend_Db_Select::orHaving() method in Zend_Db_Select to allow us to pass the optional second parameter which way the $value should be quoted.
The patch was :
- if (func_num_args()> 1) {
- $val = func_get_arg(1);
- $cond = $this->_adapter->quoteInto($cond, $val);
- if ($value) {
- $cond = $this->_adapter->quoteInto($cond, $value, $type); }
My problem is that i can't pass a value which is considered as false (0, an empty string) in the statement. So i can't do :
$select->having("foo = ?", 0);
$select->orHaving("foo = ?", 0);
Patch with unit test attached.
Fixed in r23236 in trunk and r23237 in release branch 1.11

Catholic Charities Executive Director Msgr. Kevin Sullivan submitted testimony yesterday, April 30, 2014, in support of proposed legislation called Intro 253 of 2014 that would provide New Yorkers who lack documentation, including undocumented immigrants, city-issued identification cards.
This ID card would help those who live and work in New York City but are shut out from key City services where ID is required.
Below is Msgr. Sullivan's testimony:
The Catholic Church has long been in the forefront of immigration reform and services to immigrant communities regardless of one's place of origin or religious beliefs. This legislation provides a mechanism for inclusion and identity into city life for immigrants as well as other isolated groups.
Catholic Charities is a federation of 90 agencies that:
• Protect and Nurture Children & Youth
• Feed the Hungry and Shelter the Homeless
• Strengthen Families and resolve Crisis
• Support the Physically and Emotionally Challenged, and
• Welcome and Integrate Immigrants and Refugees.
The Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of New York, through its many agencies and programs, has worked tirelessly to help refugees fleeing persecution to get protection in the United States and immigrants to reunite with their families legally, obtain proper work authorization, apply for naturalization, learn English and civics, and prepare to pass their citizenship exams. We assist more than 100,000 individuals annually. We are privileged to operate the New York State New Americans Hotline which, this year alone, has received close to 25,000 calls in 17 different languages. We recently relocated our major center to downtown New York to provide better access for those from all boroughs.
New York City has a long tradition, like Catholic Charities, of welcoming immigrants and providing access to ensure dignity and justice for the human person. This bill will provide the ability for immigrants, seniors, homeless persons and other marginalized groups to obtain identification cards to access government services and structures. The lives of many will be vastly improved by the acceptance of various and broad forms of proof to establish residency and identity and thereby allow people to obtain identity cards.
We can't deny the contribution and influence of immigrants to the culture and economy of the City of New York. Establishing a way to access public schools to pick up their children, open bank accounts, get library cards, cash checks and even enter a public building are just some of the ways that this municipal identification card can ensure that we continue on the path toward full civic participation for all New Yorkers, regardless of status.
We urge the speedy passage of this legislation and, again, congratulate the bill's sponsor, the Chair of the Immigration Committee, the Speaker and the other members of the City council for the introduction and support of this crucial measure. Thank you for the opportunity to testify on this bill.
For the inside scoop on the potential backlash or embrace of municipal ID cards Msgr. Sullivan interviewed John DeStefano the former Mayor of New Haven, CT in this recent episode of JustLove radio. New Haven, a city of about 130,000, pioneered municipal ID cards without regard to legal status in 2007.
JustLove airs weekly on Saturday at 10am EST on SIRIUS XM Satellite Radio on The Catholic Channel 129.

|Madison's 42 not quite enough
OREM, Utah – Stephen Madison poured in 42 points for the Idaho men's basketball team, but Utah Valley hung on for an 89-88 victory on Saturday night, handing the Vandals their fourth one-point loss of the season.
Madison went 16-for-21 from the field, tying for second in Idaho history for field goals made in a game, and third for points in a game. He surpassed the 1,400 career-point plateau in the game and moved into fourth on Idaho's career scoring list, passing former teammate Kyle Barone. Madison's total was also the most ever scored against Utah Valley by a Division I opponent, breaking the mark of 41 scored by Chicago State's David Holston in 2009.
"Stephen played a whale of a game, it would have been nice to get a win," Idaho coach Don Verlin said. "Stephen has put in a lot of time and effort to make Idaho the spot that it is. He's worked hard on his basketball game and he's going to graduate this spring. He's done everything he's supposed to do as a student-athlete and I couldn't be more proud of him."
Idaho (10-16, 4-8 WAC) shot a season-best 56 percent (33-of-59) from the field in the game but Utah Valley was even better, hitting 60 percent of its shots. The Vandals hit 8-of-12 first-half 3-pointers but went 0-for-9 from long range in the second half.
Idaho led 83-80 with less than four minutes to play, but the Wolverines used a 7-0 run to pull ahead 87-83 with 2:26 remaining. Madison cut that lead to 87-85 and after a pair of UVU free throws on the other end he made it a two-point game once again at 89-87. With the shot clock off, Idaho freshman Sekou Wiggs was fouled. He made the first free throw but was long on the second. Madison was able to corral the rebound but Glen Dean's mid-range baseline jumper was off the mark and Connor Hill's desperation 3 as time expired was also no good.
Despite the loss, Verlin was satisfied with his team's spirit, scoring 88 points and shooting a season-high field goal percentage against the WAC-leader in scoring defense, field goal percentage defense and 3-point defense.
"I'm proud of our guys," Verlin said. "Tonight I'm going to applaud them. We gave unbelievable effort. I was on them pretty hard because I didn't feel like we gave great effort at Bakersfield. You have to feel good about that. You never feel good about a loss but we've got to feel pretty good about our effort."
Connor Hill sprinted out of the gates, connecting on his first four 3-point attempts and racking up 14 points in the game's first six and a half minutes, but from there he missed his final five 3-point attempts and didn't add to his scoring total. Wiggs finished with 16 points, one shy of his career-high, going 7-for-9 from the field, but just 2-for-5 from the free throw line. Mike Scott added 10 points and five rebounds for Idaho.
Idaho finished with 16 assists and seven turnovers in the game, while converting nine UVU turnovers into 13 points. The Wolverines out-rebounded Idaho 30-26 but Idaho held an 11-10 edge in second chance points.
"Our ball moved tonight, that's as good as it moves," Verlin said. "We executed our offense. This system isn't easy to run. We've had some pretty good offensive games in our last four games. Now, we didn't defend it like we need to."
The Vandals return home for their final two home games of the season next week, hosting CSU Northridge in a non-conference contest on Feb. 18 at 7 p.m. before taking on Grand Canyon on Feb. 22 at 1 p.m. That game will be Senior Day for Idaho's Madison, Dean and Joe Kammerer. Both games will be played in Idaho's Memorial Gym.

Rated 4.7 out of 5 by 3 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by HouseOfKards More than your average ketchup California Sun Dried Tomato Ketchup elevates the classic condiment that is likely in your pantry or fridge. This ketchup has an intense tomato taste - thick and zesty. I would say it is a more gourmet, "adult" ketchup, but my young daughter loves it, too! I've had it on burgers and fries as well as on egg sandwiches and grilled cheese. I also made a great salad dressing with it - mixed with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. YUM! June 10, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by AMLT Delicious!! This ketchup is awesome, and I'm not a huge fan of ketchup. June 9, 2013

Sale Price:
The Tuareg are a nomadic Berber tribe who live in the North African Sahara. They were once known as the Blue People of the Sahara because of the indigo-dyed turbans and veils that would stain their skin. They're known for their engraved silver jewelry; the Tuareg group called inadan are people who work with fire and metalblacksmiths. Using only simple hand tools and implements that could be easily transported on camels (screwdrivers, nails, safety pins, files, charcoal and handheld bellows), Tuareg craftsmen have plied their trade for centuries.
Our 99%-pure silver pendant is entirely handmade by the Koumama Family Cooperative in Agadez and Niamey, Niger. It's an example of a small "festival" pendant that would commonly be worn for marriages, festivals, and baby-naming ceremonies. The Koumamas are considered the best of the Tuareg silversmiths. Fine silver is formed into a thick sheet and then shaped into the pendant. Engraving is done freehand using a simple tool that looks like a sharpened Phillips screwdriver. The pendant is then set with two carnelian cabochons and hung on a strand of onyx and handmade silver beads.
Click the links above to view photos and video of Elhadji and the Koumama family of silversmiths by photographer Christian Peacock.
Handmade in Niger. 99% pure silver with silver and onyx. 19" long; 3"L x 2 1/2"W pendant. Hook-and-eye clasp.
The Koumama family is famous for creating unique, high quality sterling silver jewelry using traditional Tuareg methods. Our necklace is made by men related to the late Mohamed Koumama by blood or marriage. His ninth child, Elhadji, is now the family patriarch. With the family having abandoned the nomadic lifestyle and settling in Agadez due to a 1970s drought, he was the first to attend school.
In the mid 1990s the Tuareg rebellion devastated the tourist business leaving the Koumamas destitute. Elhadji persuaded his family to use their sparse funds for him to go to Lagos, Nigeria, to seek sales. His seven trips in jam-packed minibuses bore fruit. He garnered increased sales on each trip and made valuable contacts with visiting Europeans, building what is now a successful international business. Today Elhadji's sons are both apprentice jewelers who hope to continue the family business.
Some call the traditionally seminomadic Tuaregs the "Blue People" due to the indigo used to dye men's deep blue tagelmusts (turbans). The romantic image of tall, regal men in flowing robes with only eyes visible, and riding great white camels is true, but it's only a fraction of the Tuareg story. Most Tuaregs live in northern Niger with some in Mali and Algeria. Drought and civil unrest led many to abandon the nomadic herding lifestyle and move to cities. Despite trading tents for mud-brick houses, their visits to the homeland hone a keen sense of heritage and culture.
Three ancient Tuareg classesnobles (camel herders), vassals (goat herders), and slaves (now outlawed)still exist, but are inverted. Herdless nobles and vassals who resisted education now lead meager city lives while educated slave descendants are now largely the more prosperous class.
Tuaregs are semimatriarchal. Women have strong say in selecting (or divorcing) mates and in family decisions, own family homes, and solely inherit property. While rearing their youngsters is their first priority, Tuareg women also have small business enterprises, including the manufacture of leather goods.

Wed & Thurs 7.30pm
Character bio: Peter is the man of the house, although only by default. He is married to Lois, the woman he fell instantly in love with when he first saw her at her Aunt`s summer house where he was working as a towel boy. Peter is a bit slow at taking in information and often makes rash decissions. If Peter tries to sort out a bad situation, it usually gets worse. Peter was orginally employed at the Happy-Go-Lucky Toy Factory in Quahog by Mr. Weed, however, after Mr. Weed's death Peter found work as a fisherman. His favorite past-times are drinking beer with his friends at the Drunken Clam, and watching television. Actor bio: Easily one of the youngest people ever to create a television series, Seth MacFarlane began his career studying animation and design at the Rhode Island School of Design, where he created the animated short film The Life of Larry. Impressed with the short, studio executives encouraged MacFarlane to move to Los Angeles in 1995 to create and direct a short film for them. After moving to LA, he went on to work on numerous animated series including Ace Ventura, Jungle Cubs and Johnny Bravo. MacFarlane's big break came when the producers of Mad TV discovered The Life of Larry and approached him to air it as four short segments. Although that deal fell apart, executives recognized his talent and gave him a shot to create a primetime-animated series of his own. Over the next six months, MacFarlane created, animated, wrote, directed and provided all the main male characters' voices for what became Family Guy. Utilizing all his contacts, friends and resources to produce the seven-minute short, he delivered it in May of 1998 and it was picked up just weeks later. One year later, in 1999, MacFarlane received an Emmy® Award for Outstanding Voice-Over Performance for his role as "Stewie Griffin." MacFarlane also received an Emmy® for Outstanding Music and Lyrics for Family Guy in 2002. In 2009, MacFarlane earned an Emmy® nomination for Outstanding Voice-Over Performance for his role as "Peter Griffin," and Family Guy became only the second animated series to be nominated for Outstanding Comedy Series. In 2010, MacFarlane received an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics. Previously, Family Guy garnered three nominations for Outstanding Animated Series. MacFarlane serves as creator/executive producer/voice actor on Family Guy and as co-creator/executive producer/voice actor on American Dad! and The Cleveland Show.

Rutgers Defeats Women's Soccer in Jersey Showdown
|Game 4: Princeton at Rutgers
| 1
Sunday, Sept. 15, 2013
| 5
Box Score
31:36: Rutgers' Stefanie Scholz scored, no assist.
37:15: Rutgers' Stefanie Scholz scored off an assist by Amy Pietrangelo.
|Rutgers took 24 shots to Princeton's 15, though the Tigers outshot the Scarlet Knights 11-10 after the break. Rutgers led Princeton 13-9 in shots on goal, but eight Tigers, including Tyler Lussi, split those shots on goal.
Rutgers' Stefanie Scholz made it a hat trick, scoring three goals in the first half. Her first goal came after the Tigers failed to clear following a corner kick in the 30th minute. Jonelle Filigno had the takeaway and found Scholz, who took advantage of a one-on-one with Princeton keeper Darcy Hargadon.
• Rutgers increased its lead in the series with Princeton to 15-10-1. The Scarlet Knights have won the last three overall and are unbeaten in the last four at Yurcak Field, where the Tigers last won in 2001.
Princeton is 2-0 all-time against Saint Joseph's (4-2-2), but this will be Princeton's first visit to the Hawks' Sweeney Field. The Tigers beat the Hawks 2-0 in 2007 at Princeton Stadium and 3-0 last season at Roberts Stadium. Tuesday's game will start at 7 p.m.

Spotlight for Recruiting ProfessionalsMay 14, 2014
Effective campus branding encompasses an organization's overall campus activities—from recruiting to the interviewing and hiring process—says Rosa dela Resma, associate director of university relations and diversity at The Clorox Company.
"Effective branding on campus provides education and knowledge about your industry, company, and specific job opportunities," dela Resma says. "Through branding, you communicate your point-of-differentiation among your industry peers, and what candidates can expect from your program and company."
She adds that branding also enables employers and candidates to identify mutual fits, and builds and promotes awareness of your organization and your reputation to create desire among your target population.
Here, dela Resma recommends some best practices for effective on-campus branding:
Rosa dela Resma will team with Rosemarie Demonte, Turner Construction; Jonathan Jones, BlackRock. Inc.; Stephanie Pallante, ARAMARK; and Shawn Tubman, Liberty Mutual to present a NACE preconference workshop titled "Building Your Company Brand On Campus: Avoiding Pitfalls, Adopting Best Practices."

A federal judge has rescheduled sentencing for a Helena-West Helena nightclub owner who pleaded guilty to money laundering.
The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reports (http://bit.ly/WfQNi4 ) Wayne Webb's sentencing has been reset for Jan. 30.
Webb has admitted to earning about $90,000 from illegal gambling in his Queen of Clubs bar and restaurant.
That admission came about 10 months after authorities revealed that they seized 11 video-gambling machines from his club and had linked him to eight other machines seized elsewhere.
Federal agents also say they had secretly recorded Webb boasting about how much money he made from illegal gambling.
Webb tentatively faces a negotiated sentence of three years' probation and a $4,000 fine if the judge accepts his plea agreement.

The first in a line of adventures with National Geographic Kids Chapters books, Crocodile Encounters will surely prove to be one of the most exciting. Follow along with National Geographic explorer Brady Barr as he crawls into a muddy hole just barely big enough for his shoulders, and comes face to face with thirteen crocodiles! Laugh out loud as you learn how to catch a crocodile using shoe laces and underpants. Read in anticipation to find out what happens when you put a 600-lb crocodile on an airplane in just a flimsy wooden crate. These action-packed stories and more will engage readers and inspire them to go out and explore their own world.
Stories include:
Brady Barr is a resident explorer with National Geographic with books, articles, and TV shows listed under his many credits. He recently caught a crocodile using his shoelaces, part of a seatbelt from his rental car, and the underwear he was wearing.
Kathy Koehfeld is a reptile expert. She loves to write about dinosaurs, but crocodiles are a close second.
Croc Disguise
Hi, my name is Brady Barr, and I'm a zoologist. That means I study animals. I've studied all kinds of animals in about 70 countries on Earth. But of all the animals I've worked with, crocodiles are my favorite.
There are 23 different types, or species, of crocodilians (sounds like krah-koh-DIL-ee-uhns). I've had the chance to see them all in the wild. I've been up close to the wide- snouted alligators and caimans (sounds like KAY-mens). I've been nose-to-nose with the narrow-jawed crocodiles. And I've even studied the weird and wonderful gharial (sounds like GAR-ree-uhl).
Sometimes I have to catch wild crocodiles for my work. For some studies, my team and I need to weigh and measure crocs. For other studies, we need to attach high-tech devices to the crocs. These devices help us keep track of the crocs, or they record information about changes in the areas where the crocs live.
The number of people on Earth is growing every year. More humans on the planet means people need more space. People are moving into areas that were once the wild homes, or habitats, of crocs. With their habitats shrinking, many species of crocodilians are dying out. When a species is dying out, we say it is an endangered species.
The more we know about endangered species and what they need, the better we can help them. But catching wild crocs is a dangerous job—for me and for the crocs!
To catch a croc, I usually have to snare it with a rope. Then I wrestle it until it is very tired. I jump onto its back and tie its jaws shut so it can't bite. Then I tie its legs. That's a lot easier said than done!
Even a tired crocodile is very strong. Catching one can turn dangerous quickly. Crocodiles are not used to having people jump on their backs. It is strange for them. That's why I am always looking for better ways to handle the crocs and get the information we need.
We know that crocodiles are calmer around other crocs than around humans. If only another croc could find out what we need to know. Then it wouldn't be so hard on the animal we want to study.
Well, on a trip to Tanzania (sounds like Tan-zan-EE-uh), I got to find out what it feels like to be a croc.
It all started when I was giving a talk to a group of children at their school. I was telling them about my work with crocodiles. One small boy raised his hand.
"Dr. Brady," he asked, "why don't you dress up as a croc and join their club?"
At the time, I thought that was pretty funny. I laughed and went on with my talk. But I couldn't shake the idea from my mind. Could it actually work? I wondered. There was one way to find out!
I asked the people at National Geographic if they could build me a life-like crocodile suit. Luckily, they were up for the job!
Artists made the head from a mold of a real crocodile head. That made it look exactly like the real thing! It was made of a material called polystyrene (sounds like pahl-ee-STYE- reen). It is very lightweight, but strong.
Next, the engineers built the body. This part was important. It needed to protect my body if an angry croc decided to bite! They made a set of metal ribs. These formed a strong cage around me. Then the cage was covered by a shield made of Kevlar. The same stuff is used to make bulletproof vests. That would make it hard for even a croc bite to break through!
Finally, the artists made a rubber cape that looked just like crocodile skin. This would cover the body and make it look like a real croc.
At last, my croc suit was ready. And boy, did it look real! My plan was to get close enough to a group of wild crocs to put high-tech devices on their backs. If my test was going to work, I would have to make the crocs believe I was one of them.

This should be a good one, Knicks and Mavs usually have exciting games.
This should be a good one, Knicks and Mavs usually have exciting games.
don't know, we're playing against a team who actually has a better record on road than home..
Hey i'm still in shock over
If only they won that one......
This could be a great win, a good game, or a bad loss, only time can tell.....
I think its a bit too early but i really like this line-up! i'm anxious to see it in action, but i still think another 4 games was in need, but we'll see....
The Knicks have to win against a team like Dallas to really get rolling this season. At this point, we win a couple then lose a couple. A confidence boost from a big win, would set things up for a streak, giving the Knicks three games in a row with a good chance for four games by beating the Celtics.
Something like that can start with a win over one of the better teams in the NBA, a team like Dallas. This game is a gut check, they need to pull together and win this one.
That's a nice news, it means Allan is back at his level ( or at least it seems like ).
But the lineup will be a little short, alanl is only 6-6, Tim is 6-10 . But even with that size he couldn't get any rebound . So i guess, it won't affect us too much!!
Who do you think is gonna be the 6thman of this team?
I think, in the beginning it will be Tim ( if he plays well). I hope he can bring us something coming off the bench! And he better does because otherwise, Isiah is gonna fire him and let Ariza take his place :P
I'm sure you all know by now, I'm not a big fan of that three guard line up. It exposes us too much on defense, though it does give us unlimited scoring potential.
While Tim Thomas has not been scoring the ball, or even rebounding much, his defense has been solid when it counts. On a couple of big possessions this season, where the game could have gone either way, TT was there to make a big defensive play (once against Cleveland on Lebron, and a few other times as well though I don't remember exactly). I can't imagine Houston doing the same, especially having only 6 games under his belt.
I'd be much more comfortable with either Houston or Crawford coming off the bench as I think that makes us a better all around team, but it seems our shooting guards egos are too much to allow either to come off the bench. Oh well, I just hope Lenny doesn't go senile on the bench and knows when to sub each out when the situation calls for it. Sorry, I'll stop ranting now.
im disguisted at the knicks defense right now.. Steph isn't penetrating as much as he ought to..
no comment......
good loss [very very sarcastic], hopefully lenny will get fired and they bring in a boot camp general/bball genious to coach the team, so they can actually learn somewhat how to play defense and move without the ball
it was disgusting to watch, it turned into a joke, the player of the game was prolly like bruno sundov, its games like these that really make me wonder...
At least Ariza had two spectacular dunks and Bruno hit the 3!
it was good to see Ariza dunks, it's always good, but its hiding from the fact they lost! THEY WERE RAPED! And when Brunos in, being cheered, you know it's bad!

'Round Midnight
Modern Jazz Quartet
Absolutely freeEvery time we post a new video,we'll send you a notice by e-mail.
The most oftenrecorded standard ever
This is during the more sporadic, late touring of the Modern Jazz Quartet in the '90s – a group notable for their restrained, elegant playing. Though they were initially an offshoot project of Gillespie collaborators.
Written by Thelonious Monk in 1944, "'Round Midnight" has become quite the standard. Of all the standards composed by jazz musicians, this is the most often recorded ever. Dizzy Gillespie and Miles Davis' take on the song led to some interesting intercreative commentary – with Miles basing his version on Gillespie's (and titled it "'Round About Midnight.")

Today is the last day of Stephen Brown's latest work, Of Meat and Marrow, and the first official day of Frody Volgger's newest work, Caputo's Old World Butcher Shop.
A meat-filled weekend, for sure.
We went to Stephen Brown's show last night at Rose Wagner, and it was a beautiful show–only an hour long, lean and tightly edited, eaach section moving fluidly into the next with none of the teeth-gritting indulgent passages that inspire yawns or giggles in so many dance pieces.
Not that there weren't laughs–Stephen and working partner Winnie Wood never take themselves too seriously, even in this tale of a recently dead woman searching for the afterlife. Dance often borders on self-parody, so humor is a dangerous thing play with. You can end up with the embarassing question, are they laughing with me or at me? But there's no danger of that in Meat and Marrow; the audience was amused. And amazed, too, at the power and grace of this ad hoc group of local dancers.
Meanwhile, down the street at Caputo's, Frody Volgger is hand-cutting locally and sustainably raised lamb, beef and pork, and making them into artisanal hams and sausages.
Obviously, it's a weekend to enjoy getting in touch with your carnivorous self.

The Medical Center hosted a forum this week featuring the topic of hormone replacement therapy.
Three panelists were on hand to answer questions for the overflow crowd.
wbko.com Extended Web Coverage
What Is Hormone Replacement Therapy?
Doctors usually prescribe HRT, which combines estrogen and progestin (a form of progesterone). Estrogen can and should be used alone (estrogen replacement therapy or ERT) for women who have had their uterus, including the cervix, removed (by hysterectomy).
Estrogen alone comes in many forms. You can use the pill or tablet form, vaginal creams, vaginal ring insert, implants, or shots. There are also patches that stick to the skin.
The body absorbs estrogen from the patch through the skin. Progestin usually is taken in pill form, sometimes in the same pill as the estrogen. It is also available as an IUD (intrauterine device), a vaginal gel, and shots.
The form your doctor suggests may depend on your symptoms. For instance, estrogen creams are used for vaginal dryness.
The vaginal ring insert treats vaginal dryness and may help urinary tract symptoms, such as problems holding urine. Pills or patches, however, are used to provide additional relief from menopause symptoms such as hot flashes or to prevent bone loss.
There are different schedules for taking HRT in pill form. You could take estrogen every day for a set number of days, add progestin for 10-14 days, and then stop taking one or both for a specific period of time.
You would repeat the same pattern every month. This cyclic schedule often causes regular monthly bleeding like a light menstrual period.
Or you could take estrogen and progestin together every day of the month without any break. This continuous pattern can stop monthly bleeding after about six months of treatment. However, problem spotting may continue for longer. Talk with your doctor about the schedule that is best for you.

Founded in 1968 by Jon Anderson and Chris Squire, Grammy-award winning recording artists Yes have created some of the most important and influential music in rock history. Throughout their career, Yes has been known for their esoteric lyrics, elaborate album art, live stage sets and expansive songs, such as "Roundabout," "Close to the Edge," "I've Seen All Good People" and "Owner of a Lonely Heart" – to name a few. Having sold millions of records over a four-decade career, the band has overcome a generational shift in its audience, and the departure of its most visible members at key points in its history to reach the end of the century as the definitive progressive rock band. They are currently on a world tour, playing three albums of their classic albums The Yes Album, Close To The Edge and Going For The One in their entirety.
Recently, members of Yes – singer Jon Davison, bassist Chris Squire, guitarist Steve Howe, drummer Alan White and keyboardist Geoff Downes – were interviewed by education director Jason Hanley before a live audience at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland. Following the interview, the group surprised the crowd with a short set.

In this exclusive interview with Chris Squire and Alan White of Yes, the guys talk about the future of progressive rock, performing live in China, being fans of the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Foo Fighters and whose idea it was to play three albums as part of the group's current tour set.
Rock Hall: What bands do you think have been influenced by Yes, and what's the future of prog rock sound like?
Chris Squire: There's lots of bands that have come up through the years after Yes, you know like, Marillion, and then Fish, their singer, broke away and did his thing, so there's always been a lot of people trying to keep the movement going. Now there seems to be a resurgence in interest from the general public in the prog rock way of doing things.
Alan White: These bands explored like we did … and it's great for music to have that around, I mean, nobody wants to play three chords forever, it's boring.
RH: What contemporary artists do you listen to now?
CS: Yeah, they're not even young anymore, or new, but I've always been a big [Red Hot] Chili Peppers fan. And I like the Foo Fighters a lot – apart from them being friends of mine as well. They're definitely a fantastic live act to see, so much energy and possibly even bigger in Europe than they are in the U.S., and that's great. I'm also a big fan of Gwen Stefani.
AW: I agree, I think the Foo Fighters are a prime example of a great band thats really modern, they're really exciting on stage and the [Red Hot] Chili Peppers also. I actually know their drummer well – and the other guys well – he's so good, Chad [Smith]. So, they're a prime example of an exciting show, and the kind of very modern hard hitting kind of music. [pictured above (l-r): Yes guitarist Steve Howe with singer Jon Davison performing live at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland, Ohio.]
RH: Yes has toured and performed all over the world. Is there anywhere you still want to play but haven't?
CS: Yes, China. We haven't been to China, and I know there's a lot more opportunity to do that nowadays. And, of course, the more and more they become part of the commercial world there –even though they make all our products pretty much now [laughs] – the more they become part of the western sort of music, liking that kind of thing. I'm sure it would be an exciting place to go play.
AW: I agree with him about China, because I did a show there with another band. It's an incredible place, but I would also like to go to India. I know when you go there you have to scale things down to do shows, but it's a place that's sort of interested me in performing.
CS: And we've never been to Israel. I'd like to play in Israel.
RH: Who's idea was it to play three albums in their entirety in one night?
CS: Well, Steve Howe says it's his idea, but I don't specifically remember that. But I know the idea has been kicking around. Since the Nineties, people have been doing [similar] things. I noticed that Steely Dan went on tour playing two albums.
AW: But, you know, I think it's been in the back of our minds for a while because some bands go out there and play one album. Of course Yes being over the top like we always are, we're playing three albums, which is actually really satisfying, you know, playing different years of the band like that.
CS: Well, usually when we go out it's because we made a new studio album, and that becomes the focus of the tour throughout the world for a year or so. On our studio album Fly From Here in 2011, we spent a year and a half promoting that around the world. Then when we were asked if we wanted to do some shows in 2013, we realized we weren't gonna have a new album ready, so that's when the idea of "Oh, we could do this now," because we don't have a new album to promote. It was very timely really, its been a good education for all of us.

BUILT TO SPILL, THE URBAN LOUNGE, Wednesday, Nov. 27, 8 p.m., $20
For years I considered Built to Spill's Doug Martsch a sort of indie-rock Neil Young, a songsmith capable of producing epic beauty or noise-filled guitar jams with equal ease. I'm sure Martsch's cover of "Cortez The Killer" was a heavy influence on that line of thinking. Lately, though, Built to Spill is reminding me more of Boston, the classic rockers who became legendary for taken years and years between releases. So it's been of late with Martsch and Co., who haven't released any new music since 2009's There Is No Enemy. After being relatively prolific early in the band's career, they have only put out two sets of new music since 1999, and a lineup shift less than a year ago seems to have slowed the band's pace; when I saw Built to Spill roughly a year ago, there was talk of new music in 2013. Looks like that will have to wait til next year, but I'm not complaining. The Boise-based band, regular visitors to Salt Lake City, has the kind of excellent back catalog that makes for an excellent show no matter what year it is, or whether or not there are any new tunes in the set. Slam Dunk and Genders open the show.

Airbrush Heaven
Dear Lesley, This is the very first letter I have ever written to a magazine and although I don't usually pay attention to ads/cover photos in magazines, I had to take issue this time. I saw Ms. Sedgewick on a TV talk show about a month ago and I have never thought she was beautiful but makeup does help. However, her cover shot on the July issue doesn't even look like her. She is not that beautiful and her face is very square. Also, the Cover Girl ad next to your story portraying Ellen DeGeneres…she looks like she is 19 and I know for a fact she does not look that way even on her show.
I am a grandmother, 64 years young, take excellent care of me, my skin and body and I am happy (as are others) with the way I look without all the hocus pocus you all use to make someone look pleasing to us. I wear excellent makeup that brings out my beauty. Bring on the real girls! I have been enjoying your magazine but lately have been disappointed that you are not giving me MORE but LESS in the REAL department. I, for one, will not buy any of the products who use unreal models or so much airbrushing to sell to me…no way. Also, I will be rethinking my purchase of MORE…too fake for me and I thought you may have had it all right. Too bad.

Voodoo Science
Perhaps Nancy Kalish thinks she is doing us a favor enumerating the items we can eat to, in her words, "protect ourselves" from breast cancer. This is voodoo science, witchcraft—an irritatingly smug form of hocus-pocus—created to make us feel that we have some measure of control over what we all dread, cancer. I'm fifty-four. I'm not fat; I'm rarely sick. I've been following all the rules that Nancy Kalish outlines for years, not because I was afraid of getting cancer but because eating well makes me feel better. I walk every day. I live the life I want to live. I manage my stress with yoga and deep breathing. And two months ago I was diagnosed with metastatic invasive lobular carcinoma in my left breast.
I don't believe that diet can protect you or me from cancer. The best we can hope for is to be as healthy as possible to endure months of surgery, chemotherapy and radiation if and when they find it.

Looking Great Has a Price Tag?
I'm a relatively new subscriber to MORE and generally, I enjoy it. But I have to comment on "The Flower Child Grows Up" article on page 18. Is MORE seriously suggesting its readers purchase a $1,225 skirt or a $465 pair of sandals to "look great from head to toe?"
Pat Quinn
A Special Topic
I have been a subscriber to MORE magazine for many years, and although I enjoy reading most of the articles, there is a certain feeling of reading about similar topics over and over.
One subject close to my heart that I've haven't seen featured is raising a child/young adult with special needs, as thousands of us are doing across the country. In my case, I've got a 15-year-old boy with cerebral palsy/global developmental delays along with an aging Dad. Sometimes the situation makes me laugh; sometimes I cry, but I know that I am by no means alone in this double-whammy. Please include our story in your magazine in coming issues.

Dismissal of Tenure
Kudos to Claudia Dreifus for challenging the obscure practice of tenure in education. As I raise 2 teenagers, I respect the fact that educators are critical to their lives and future. A good teacher is invaluable. After learning this lesson the hard way, I now have my children in 2 different high schools but both with fresh, inspiring and engaged faculty. I moved my eldest from a public high school, IB program, to a private catholic school due to the apathetic attitudes of the tenured faculty and principal. The tenured teachers have lost their drive and energy to educate. The classes are large (40+/class) and the students more behaviorally challenging. I found the non-tenured teachers to be significantly more consiencious of their performance and need/ability to motivate the students.

Scientific Misconduct Is Jeopardizing the Quality...
To Conduct Cellular Censuses Sequence Deeply...
Peptide Drugs Are Not Only Diverse...
Akebia Therapeutics has spun out a new company, Aerpio Therapeutics, to continue the development of its small molecule Tie-2 activator and HIF-1α stabilizer programs for multiple diseases. The spin-out's pipeline includes lead program, AKB-9778, a Tie-2 activator in development for the treatment of diabetic macular edema (DME), which is expected to start in a Phase IIa trial during the first half of 2012. AKB-9778 is designed to inhibit human protein tyrosine phosphatase β, a negative regulator of the Tie-2 receptor, and prevent vascular leak and abnormal blood vessel growth associated with diabetic eye disease. A first-in-man study with the candidate was initiated in November 2011.
Aerpio's second clinical candidate, AKB-4924, is an HIF-1α stabilizer currently in late preclinical development for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). An IND submission is projected for late 2012. AKB-4924 is designed to stabilize HIF-1α by inhibiting HIF prolyl hydroxylases, and in particular PHD-2.
Akebia's own lead candidate, AKB-6548, is an orally available hypoxia-inducible factor-prolyl hydroxylase (HIF-PF) inhibitor in development for the treatment of anemia. The drug is designed to increase natural production of erythropoietin, and cause a controlled, gradual rise in hemoglobin levels in anemia patients. A Phase IIa dose-ranging trial evaluating AKB-6548 in stage 3 and 4 chronic kidney disease patients was initiated in June 2011.
Akebia separately confirmed drawing down a $4.1 million tranche of a previously announced $22 million Series B financing to support completion of the Phase II AKB-6548 and progress its search for the optimum partner to move into pivotal Phase III studies.

With a wealth of wondrous ancient sites to peruse, fly with us to Baku. You'll fall in love with the picturesque charm of this beautiful city.
Whether you want to visit ancient monuments, shop for Azeri crafts, gawp at striking modern architecture or just chat in a traditional teahouse, you'll find plenty to do in Baku.
Baku's Old City is a web of narrow streets lined with medieval mosques and small boutiques, while neighbouring Nizami Street's pavements and cafés act as a parade ground for the city's residents. Fans of high culture will love the city's contemporary Heydar Aliyev Cultural Centre and the Art Nouveau Azerbaijan State Academic Opera and Ballet Theater, while people who enjoy seeing and being seen will enjoy glossy meeting spots like restaurant and nightclub Chinar or traditional music in the old courtyard at Mugham Club. Beyond the suburban oil wells that feed the city are the sandy, clean beaches of the Absheron Peninsula, where the dunes of the Absheron National Park provide a welcome break from the city.
Among Baku Old City's narrow streets and small mosques, visit the beautifully carved 15th century Shirvanshah Palace and the medieval Maiden Tower, a city icon that appears on Azerbaijan's banknotes. Further out is the Ateshgah Fire Temple, a 17th century religions complex still used by Baku's Zoroastrian community. For contemporary monuments, the city's unmistakable modern signatures are the dramatic Flame Towers, three flame-shaped skyscrapers that dominate the city's skyline. Elsewhere, the Zaha Hadid-designed Heydar Aliyev Cultural Centre, somewhat resembling a melted spacecraft, is just as impressive.
The Absheron Peninsula, on which Baku is built, has some good sandy beaches at its far Eastern end. The most popular spots, such as the popular Amburan Beach Club and the huge Jumeirah Bilgah Beach Hotel, charge entry and attract wealthy Bakuites to their poolside bars and loungers. For longer beach breaks from Baku, it's advisable to head north to pristine Nabran, a beach resort three hours drive north of the city.
Azerbaijan makes some of the world's most beautiful carpets, which can be found at the Old City's Brothers Carpets (be aware that carpets over 30 years old will need an export licence). Further out, the Teze Bazar is a market for locals rather than visitors, selling delicious dried fruit and caviar to anyone prepared to haggle. To find where Baku's new rich get their designer clothes, head for one of Emporium's three branches, selling gear from the likes of Stella McCartney, Diane Von Furstenberg and Michael Kors.
Housed in a beautiful arcaded caravanserai (a form of inn), Mugham Club serves Azeri charcoal grills and has traditional music shows in its courtyard nightly. For something more modern try "contemporary Caspian" restaurant Sahil, which serves unusual dishes like charcoal roast sturgeon with saffron butter, in a chic modern pavilion. For a cheap but authentically Azeri meal, try Firuza, a good place to try Azeri mezze such as stuffed vine leaves or lürma bogçada pies stuffed with dried fruit and mince.
For culture buffs, it's worth attending a performance at the Art Nouveau Azerbaijan State Academic Opera and Ballet Theater just to see the stunning building. Later on, Baku's beautiful people head for Chinar, an opulent, dressy bar, restaurant and lounge that plays smooth house and disco until late. For something more down to earth, the simply named Brewery in the Old City is the only bar in Baku to brew its own beer on the premises.

It's all connected.
I drove up to Tifie Ranch this week with Ethan Lappe, owner of Caffe Niche. Ethan gets eggs and vegetables from the folks at Tifie; their main business is developing alternate energy and housing for third world countries and disaster sites.
The name Lappe rang a bell and yes, it turns out that Ethan's aunt, Frances Moore Lappe, wrote a book back in 1971–not coincidentally, the year after the first Earth Day–that changed the world.
Diet for a Small Planet changed the way we all eat, whether we know it or not. It was the first book to criticize Americans' heavy meat-eating ways, arguing that food policies supporting grain-fed meat contributed to world hunger–that a meat-centric diet could not feed the Earth's exploding population. The original Diet for a Small Planet promoted some ideas since discredited, but the basic idea, relying more on vegetable than animal-based foods, is still sound, although whether anything will be adequate to feed the 7 billion plus people on the planet is questionable.
Still, it was a reminder to me how inseparable food is from concerns about the environment.
Like I said, all connected.
We need to eat for a healthier world, not just healthier bodies.
Sunday, April 22 HEAL Utah is hosting a fest at Liberty Park–enjoy live music by Bronco and singer-songwriter Jen Hajj, food from the Chow Truck and other vendors and the inevitable face painting and balloon animals for the kids, plus local green groups, businesses and services will offer information on Utah's ongoing environmental battles, like the one that happened just over by the park pond where Chevron spilled its oil. Twice. For more information, go here.
We know Bambara's chef Nathan Powers is eco-conscious. So for a more high-heeled approach to saving the planet, Green Key certified Bambara and Hotel Monaco present E-Waste "Recycle Round-Up, April 18-20; bring old phones, cell phones, printers, MP3 players, small electronics, desk top towers and laptops to the hotel lobby and they'll be properly disposed of.
Executive Chef Nathan Powers is always supportive of support of local, organic farms and ranches. For each "Powers' Lunch" sold April 16-20, $1 will be donated to The Nature Conservancy. Eat up.
On April 21, Kimpton's Green Team will join in for a Clean-Up of Rose Park Community Garden.
On April 22, Oasis Cafe celebrates Earth Day Sunday with a $25 3-course candlelight dinner focusing on local sustainable and organic farms and ranches; proceeds will benefit the New Roots, a program that seeks to build a healthier community through the development if small-scale, urban farms and community gardens in Salt Lake County, and the Global Artisan project strives to provide Refugees with the necessary equipment and exposure to achieve self sufficiency through selling their carefully constructed hand-crafted gifts.
From 11 a.m. until 2 p.m. on Earth Day, Oasis will host a seedling and craft sale with work by refugee artisans.
