ZF-6668: Zend_Locale_Data fails creating cache when tmp directory is not writeable
On our production server it isn't possible for a user to create and write files to the /tmp/ directory.
However, Zend_Locale_Data::getList() tries to create a cache by itself at line 293 when no cache is present. When there's no cache present it uses Zend_Cache_Backend::getTmpDir() to request a directory to write in. When the /tmp/ directory isn't writeable by users an exception gets thrown by Zend_Cache at line 208: cache_dir must be a directory
In 1.7.5 Zend_Locale_Data only used a cache when it was set and didn't try to create one by default. The only way for me to get this to work is setting $_ENV['TMPDIR'] to a custom directory. With multiple websites deployed this is not very desirable.
I think Zend_Locale_Data (and perhaps other components?) shouldn't try to create a cache by default in a temp directory, as you never know if it's actually writeable. Another solution could be that Zend_Cache_Backend checks if the directory from Zend_Cache_Backend::getTmpDir() is actually writeable. If not cancel the creation of the cache and just continue. No need to warn about it either I think.
The priority of this ticket might be a bit too high, but currently I can't savely upgrade to 1.8.1.
@Fabien: Take a look at Zend_File_Transfer_Adapter->_getTmpDir(). It has a very good detection and is captable of detecting the tmp path even if no ENV or SERVER is set.
Additionally it checks if the tmp dir is writable and when not, it throws an exception, which is better there than above in Zend_Cache.. for example "No cache_dir given, temporary directory not writeable"
I would propose that you add this method also in your class.
just commited something better into SVN trunk
can you try it ?
(you have only to take the Backend.php file from SVN trunk)
I'll be able to try it coming Monday (18th). I'll let you know if your fix did the trick. Do you have a revision number for me? Or is it just in trunk?
Just tried it. It makes no difference. I'm still getting the same exception with the "cache_dir must be a directory" error.
There's no problem in figuring out the temp directory. That goes well, but _isGoodTmpDir()'s attempt with is_writable() seems to fail silently. It just seems to pass the test.
In my personal opinion, caching should always be optional. Currently ZF expects the user always wants to cache data, and personally I believe that decision is up to the user. Not the software.
The current routine to check for the temp directory looks fine to me, but I don't think any ZF component should use auto-cache at all.
Forgot to add this to my previous comment. As currently stated in the Zend_Locale documentation caching is still optional. No migration notes were added either.
so it's not a Zend_Cache issue but a Zend_Locale one
I remove Zend_Cache as affected component
That is what I am seeing as well. Since upgrading to 1.8.0 Zend_Validate_Int is choking on the 'cache_dir must be a directory' exception. Apparently the validator is trying to pull Zend_Locale_Data from Zend_Cache. So instead of the site either being unable to pull the data from cache or simply using default error text without the locale, the site just blows up. I could catch the exception in my code and ignore it, but that won't make the validator function.
There are 2 solutions:
- Use a cache with write permissions or
- Disable the cache usage within Zend_Locale
Second is depreciated but possible as it results in a massive performance decreasement.
I vote for the latter. As described in the documentation, caching with Zend_Locale should be optional and should be up to the user to decide if he/she is going to use it.
Can you point me to the chapter where you read that cache is not set ?
The actual documentation reads: {quote} When no cache is set, then Zend_Locale will automatically set a cache itself. Sometimes it is wished to prevent that a cache is set, even if this degrades performance. In this case the static disableCache(true) method should be used. It does not only disable the actual set cache, without erasing it, but also prevents that a cache is automatically generated when no cache is set. {quote}
So I don't get the reason why you "vote for the latter"...using the option seems the better way for me than voting :-)
PS: But this has nothing to do with the problem that the tempoary path of PHP is not detected.
It clearly says "can be speed up" :-)
Using a false cache will also decrease performance or negotate it completly... but I don't think that this should be mentioned into this chapter. Anyone with default knowledge should know this already.
Feel free to propose a better content of this paragraph.
Documentation should, of course, reflect the actual workings of a module. At what point did you find it saying that it automatically sets a cache? As the link I provided contained the only paragraph I could find about it.
Anyway, I think the way Zend_Locale handles its cache should be reverted to 1.7.5 and that is to let the programmer decide if he/she requires a cache or not. Because the current way comes with some rather annoying compatibility issues, which weren't mentioned in a migration chapter. What are your thoughts about the desired behavior?
Closed issue as the problem is already fixed within Zend_Cache. As alternative the user can also disable the cache within Zend_Locale as described within the manual.
I just tried 1.8.2 but the issue still remains. I still gives a "cache_dir must be a directory" error. I walked through the getTmpDir() method in Zend/Cache/Backend.php and the following code, starting at line 181 returns me a so called valid directory.
// Attemp to detect by creating a temporary file
$tempFile = tempnam(md5(uniqid(rand(), TRUE)), '');
if ($tempFile) {
$dir = realpath(dirname($tempFile));
return $dir;
However, although PHP is allowed to create a file with tempnam() that doesn't mean that the directory is freely writeable by the user. The directory should be checked with _isGoodTmpDir(). When I do so, the check fails. And eventually I get the exception 'Could not determine temp directory, please specify a cache_dir manually'.
I think the code at least needs to be changed to the following:
// Attemp to detect by creating a temporary file
$tempFile = tempnam(md5(uniqid(rand(), TRUE)), '');
if ($tempFile) {
$dir = realpath(dirname($tempFile));
if($this->_isGoodTmpDir($dir)) {
return $dir;
Sorry, I messed up the formatting. Can't find any edit button to change it.
Please comment to the correct issue.
As said before, when the cache should not be used within Zend_Locale then disable the cache usage.
See: http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/…
Quote: "Sometimes it is wished to prevent that a cache is set, even if this degrades performance. In this case the static disableCache(true) method should be used. It does not only disable the actual set cache, without erasing it, but also prevents that a cache is automatically generated when no cache is set."
Am I not commenting to the correct issue? I accept that the default is now to use a cache by default. But the method in Zend_Cache_Backend still fails to do so. When doing the check with tempname() a call to _isGoodTmpDir() is still required.
No you're not at the right issue:
This issue is regarding Zend_Locale. You are noting a problem of Zend_Cache which is mentioned in the related issue ZF-6608 ;-)

Timothy Greenfield-Sanders (American, born 1952), a photographer and filmmaker, is best known for his intimate portraits of world leaders and major cultural figures and his documentary about the musician Lou Reed, which won a Grammy Award in 1998. Greenfield-Sanders's film and photography career started in the mid-1970s, when he attended the American Film Institute in Los Angeles and began photographing visiting luminaries for the school, including Alfred Hitchcock, Bette Davis, and Ingmar Bergman. In 1979 Greenfield-Sanders moved to New York City and began to photograph the art world. Full sets of the 700 portraits of artists, dealers, critics, collectors, and curators that he made over the next twenty years are now in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. To date, fifteen books and catalogues have been published on Greenfield-Sanders's portraiture.
Unless otherwise noted, all photographic works date from 2011 and are pigmented ink-jet prints from the collection of Timothy Greenfield-Sanders, © Timothy Greenfield-Sanders
Timothy Greenfield-Sanders: The Latino List is organized by Lisa Small, Curator of Exhibitions, Brooklyn Museum.
These twenty-five large-format portrait photographs taken by Timothy Greenfield-Sanders feature accomplished and influential Latinos from the worlds of culture, politics, business, and sports. On view nearby are excerpts from the accompanying documentary film, also called The Latino List, directed by Greenfield-Sanders with interviews conducted by Maria Hinojosa and additional interviews by Sandra Guzman, both Emmy Award–winning journalists. In this film, some of the people in the photographs are seen and heard directly sharing their own revealing stories and experiences as Latinos in America. In the manner of The Black List Project, Greenfield-Sanders's 2008 exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum that offered insights on what it means to be African American in contemporary society, the vivid portraits and filmed monologues of The Latino List collectively explore the meaning of "Latino" in the twenty-first century and illuminate the richness and diversity of Latino life in America.

text: The Jam rode to early popularity on the first wave of British punk. Yet the group, led by singer/songwriter/guitarist Paul Weller, consciously distanced itself from its safety-pinned compatriots and unashamedly looked back to the Sixties for inspiration from the Who, 2012 Hall of Fame Inductees the Small Faces and vintage American soul music. At a time when notions of youth rebellion were much in vogue, "In The City" stands out as a desperate plea for understanding between the generations: In the city, there's a thousand things I want to say to you/But whenever I approach you, you make me look a fool/I wanna say, I wanna tell you/About the young ideas/But you turn them into fears. The song was the title track of the group's 1977 debut, a landmark punk recording that showcased the group's bravado and musicianship. Weller's gift for hooks, insightful lyrics, slashing Rickenbacker guitar riffs and the equally urgent playing of bassist Bruce Foxton and drummer Rick Buckler propelled "In The City" to Number 40 in May 1977 and ignited the group's hot streak of 18 consecutive UK Top 40 hits.

Modeling of a 3D Inductor
Application ID: 10299
Inductors are used in many applications for low pass filtering or for impedance matching of predominantly capacitive loads. They are used in a wide frequency range from near static up to several MHz. An inductor usually has a magnetic core to increase the inductance, while keeping its size small. The magnetic core also reduces the electromagnetic interference with other devices as the magnetic flux tends to stay within it. Because there are only crude analytical or empirical formulas available for calculating impedances, computer simulations or measurements are necessary in the design of inductors. Inductor modeling is in general more complex than the modeling of resistors and capacitors, but similar principles apply. This introductory model uses a design drawn in an external CAD software and is imported for static and frequency domain analysis in the AC/DC Module. In this tutorial, we perform the AC analysis up to computing the frequency dependent impedance.

A man and a woman are facing drug charges following a police raid at Georgetown home just days before Christmas.
James May, a 51-year-old Georgetown resident, and Megan Couchman, a 26-year-old Lewes resident, were arrested Dec. 21 after Georgetown police executed a search warrant at a home on Conaway Street in the southeast section of town.
During a search of the home, police reportedly seized 12 grams of crack cocaine, 34 bags of heroin, $3,500 in cash, as well as a 2002 Cadillac DeVille and a 2008 Dodge Caliber.
May and Couchman are each charged with possession with the intent to deliver crack cocaine, possession with the intent to deliver heroin, conspiracy and other drug related offenses.
May, who also goes by the alias "Kool-Aid", is being held at an undisclosed detention facility on a $24,000 cash bond, while Couchman is being held on an $8,400 secured bond, police said.
Georgetown police said it was the second time they've arrested May on drug-related charges in three months
Following a police raid at the same home on Sept. 21, May was charged with possession with the intent to deliver cocaine, police said.
Sherman Jackson Jr., a 54-year-old Lewes resident, also was charged with possession with the intent to deliver cocaine following the raid in September, police said.

Thanksgiving. Yep, the time of gratitude and thanks. I'm thankful for the snow and even more thankful for my snow tires, but I'm not thankful for the looming 18-degree high on Thursday. Mother nature, you do not get any turkey-day gratitude for this one.
If your one of the lucky ones escaping to the southern part of the state (although, your 38-degree high isn't much better...) make room in your schedule for a little extra gratitude. The Red Mountain Spa is offering a four-night lecture series focusing on the power of gratitude and how it can be used for positive outcomes in life, work and at home, just in time for Thanksgiving.
The lectures will be given by sociologist Bertice Berry, a best selling non-fiction and fiction author. Berry has even made appearance on The Oprah Winfrey show and Late Night with Jay Leno.
The lectures take place at Red Mountain Spa's Snow Canyon Room from 8:00-8:45, Monday, Nov 22. -Thursday, Nov. 25.

Adam Leitch, Chief Sports Writer / / Adam Leitch
Whether you like it or not, Harry Redknapp is the only viable choice to take over from Fabio Capello as England boss.
The clamour from the country is clear – they want an Englishman to take on the 'impossible job'.
After Capello and Sven Goran Eriksson both proved expensive failures, it's perfectly understandable and the FA are highly unlikely to buck public opinion.
And if you're going English, Redknapp's is the only name on the menu.
Whether he would leave Tottenham is a question only he can answer, but whether he will be offered the job surely is not up for debate.
There is a dearth of English managers doing well at Premier League level, and very few can boast any kind of sustained success.
Former Saints manager, and one time England assistant, Lawrie McMenenmy, has always insisted that the England boss should be someone who has had a long club career with success over a number of years.
How many English managers who remain in the top levels of the game can you point to with that?
Redknapp does have popular support throughout the country and, however he does it, is adored by players.
With Euro 2012 just around the corner the FA don't have long to make up their minds.
They need somebody who can slot in quickly, who knows the players and the background and who can unite the country behind them and the team.
Step forward Harry.

I chose to run for Catholic Charities because it addresses such a wide array of human needs regardless of religious background. Catholic Charities feeds the hungry, provides job training and resources to help people get back on their feet, and offers children and youth better opportunities to learn and grow, among many others.
After graduating from college and hanging up the sprinting spikes, I started to run longer distances and eventually found that running became a sort of escape while simultaneously allowing me to push myself and to continuously challenge myself to run farther and faster. I made it a goal to run a marathon so now I am running the 2014 NYC marathon for Catholic Charities. I'm looking forward to challenging myself through training and adding another reason to why I am running: I am doing it to help raise money for individuals served by Catholic Charities.
While I have not yet run a marathon, I ran four years of varsity indoor and outdoor track and field at Colby College, primarily competing in the 400m dash and 1600m relay. I also participated in a sprint triathlon in college. After college I focused on longer distance running and competed in a 5k for WCS in the Bronx Zoo in 2011, the Chicago Rock and Roll half marathon in July 2013 and the JP Morgan Corporate Challenge (3.3 miles) in June 2014.
I am training specifically for the marathon for 18 weeks running five to six days per week. I will be racing in the Bronx 10 mile at the end of September and participating in NYRR long runs in August and September. Additionally, I will be doing runs with the midtown Nike store running club two to three days per week.
My family and I have been involved with Catholic Charities for some time (primarily in DC where I grew up) so I was able to first hand witness the difference Catholic Charities makes in so many ways for so many individuals.
It is really inspiring to know that I am running for an organization that touches so many lives, Catholic and non-Catholic alike, with a high level of dignity and compassion across an array of human needs. I am especially inspired by the many programs and services that are designed to set individuals up to lead a better life, whether it is a child who now has a nurturing after school environment or an out-of-work mother who is given training to get her back in the workforce and enabling her to support herself and her children.

TV on The Radio's video for "Caffeinated Consciousness" has already made us press play about twelve times. We're not sure what's happening, but we think that the song keeps ending before we want it to and thus, we must repeat incessantly. Or perhaps it's that flying carpet hippie scene that makes us melt. Either way, this song and video are an all around win. As if it couldn't get any better, the video is part of an hour long movie by TV on the Radio that was released back in April.
With the video also comes the release of remixes for "Caffeinated Consciousness" and "Will Do," which are available exclusively on iTunes. Check out the video for "Will Do" that we posted a few months back as well!

3 DeLand residents seriously hurt in Lake County car crash
Published: Friday, January 11, 2013 at 5:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, January 15, 2013 at 3:45 p.m.
Three DeLand residents were seriously injured Friday when their car collided with a semitrailer on County Road 44A in Lake County, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
The car, driven by Juan Luevano Jr., 22, of DeLand, was traveling east on C.R. 44A about 4:30 p.m., made a U-turn and began traveling west, according to the FHP report.
Trooper C.C. Thompson reported that witnesses said the car appeared to be making a right turn onto Forestdel Drive, then made another U-turn into the path of the truck, driven by Otis Clayton, 61, of Umatilla.
Clayton braked and swerved to the left to try to avoid a collision, according to Thompson's report, but struck the left side of the car.
Luevano and his two passengers, Juan Luevano, 43, and James Blocker, 44, both of DeLand, suffered serious injuries and were transported to Orlando Regional Medical Center.
Blocker was in stable condition Saturday night, the hospital's media relations manager, Sabrina Childress, said.
The crash remains under investigation, and charges are pending, according to the FHP.

thank you so much for your Help
The 2 Power Aura's u see:

Yellow thingies: These appear when Infusion of light is active,
Shaman healer:
Is pitbull 4 much beter than 3, even though it isn't finished yet? Or should i just stick to 3 for now if i got it set up as i like it.Originally Posted by Veno
The only difference with Pitbull 4 and 3 is that 4 has an easier layout to configure the panels.Originally Posted by Hadrinus
If you like the way you have P3 setup, just stick with it.
Only reason why I switched from Pitbull3 to 4 is because Target frame was blank after Patch 3.2, and my framerate went down to like 5fps when I has someone targeted.
4 seems a bit buggy, compared to 3, but nothing major (like Blizz Experience bar (that should be hidden) shows up after switching specs, /reload fixes it).
Here is my Resto Shaman set up. Used the same for 2 years now.
Main casting is done via Grid + Clique. I never target to cast.
First Off .. I dont know why its so hard to read the first post and actually learn about not posting HUGE pictures.
Second .. Heres the Ui im working with now i got the bare bones from Degausser UI

Thanks Caiti for the Signature and Avatar
I LOVE what you've done to those BigWigs timer bars. That's a great modification. Also, what texture are you using on your Grid setup there? It's not the same as on your UF's or the BW bars, but I like the look of it. :-)
Thanks for your commentOriginally Posted by Taryble
Texture from grid is the same as the bars and unit frames .. HalR . and those timer bars arent Bigwigs i dont use bigwigs for bars anymore i use Deus Vox Encounters.

Comments about Illicit DVD:
This is a compelling video that provides extensive video footage but it leaves out one crucial detail. One of the contributing causes to counterfeiting is the exportation of jobs by legitimate businesses eager to cut labor costs. When they unwisely move their manufacturing to countries without adequate laws or enforcement, they also send important information about how to manufacture their goods. In some cases, the same manufacturer who produces legitimate goods under license by day also surreptitiously produces illegitimate goods by night. This has caused some designers to issue serial numbers and holograms to their foreign manufacturers at the last moment of production in order to control such practices. Counterfeiting is a terrible and under-reported problem, but if more manufacturing was performed in countries with adequate regulatory safeguards, such crimes could more easily be prevented or stopped and prosecuted.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

In 2012, the State Legislature passed S.B. 12, allowing eBay to purchase its own renewable energy for its Salt Lake City facility while still having Rocky Mountain Power transmit the power via its lines. Now Rep. Kraig Powell (R-Heber City) is seeking to expand that model, allowing cities or counties to act as bulk purchasers of renewable energy for their citizens.
Powell's bill, H.B. 110, would authorize a municipality or county to qualify as a contract customer of renewable energy and would require the Public Service Commission to determine the appropriate charges and credits for participating customers.
First approached about the idea by Park City Council member Andy Beerman, Powell talked with several of his constituents who are involved with renewable energy, such as Susan Soleil of Utah Interfaith Power and Light, in crafting the bill, which he said is an extension of 2012's S.B. 12. The concept behind the bill is similar in nature to the already existing Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) model.
"Because CCA as a concept is going forward in other states, many people in Utah thought that what eBay did [in 2012] is similar to a CCA," Powell said. "Except it's not one customer, it's like 2,000 customers in Summit County. Technically, the city or the county is not the customer, they're the gatekeeper or broker."
Summit County Council member Roger Armstrong has been pushing for the county to pursue a CCA model and said Powell's bill is a good start. Armstrong is passionate about giving power users choice in what kind of energy they utilize.
"The CCA concept offers complete choice," Armstrong said. "You can not change your power, you can get a mix of power – both traditional and renewable – or you can order 100 percent renewable energy."
Armstrong said a CCA also helps to boost renewable energy markets, eventually leading to a overall reductions in renewable energy prices for consumers. That's what has happened in places where the CCA model has thrived, such as in Marin County, Calif.
If H.B. 110 ends up formulating a CCA-type system, Armstrong stressed that he would not support consumers' ability to purchase any kind of energy from any supplier they choose. Since Rocky Mountain Power has a monopoly in Utah, he would be against allowing customers to purchase power from a retail market.
"Rocky Mountain Power is already in the renewable business," Armstrong said. "I don't think [they] have to get hurt by this [bill]."
Beerman is also pleased to see Powell's bill hit the Legislature.
"I'm excited to see Rep. Powell run a renewable energy bill and hope that it gets a favorable response from the Legislature," Beerman said in an e-mail. "The Park City Council has not taken a formal stance on H.B. 110 yet, but renewable energy projects are a high priority for the city. I thank Rep. Powell for his commitment to both consumer rights and a more sustainable future."
The biggest hurdle to Powell's proposed concept, and the reason he said Rocky Mountain Power opposes the bill, is the complicated logistics of keeping track of how much renewable energy each customer uses, how much traditional energy each person uses and how to calculate fees for using the company's lines to transmit the power.
"There's a close balance between profits and cost – that's what [Rocky Mountain Power's] rates are based on," Powell said. "I'm respectful of the concerns that [the company] might have, but I think it's a discussion worth having so we can confine our goals within some kind of framework."
Powell met with Rocky Mountain Power and other stakeholders involved to discuss H.B. 110 on Friday morning, and he said the meeting went very well.
In a statement provided by Rocky Mountain Power spokesperson Jeff Hymas, the company said it cannot support H.B. 110 "as currently written." It went on to say that allowing a municipality or county "to contract on behalf of its residents to purchase electricity without becoming its own utility" would be a "fundamental shift in Utah's public utility code" and that implementation of the bill would be "incredibly complicated" and would require new, expensive metering on each customer's home.
"The community renewable aggregation model this bill is based on doesn't work in a state such as Utah where deregulation or open access for electricity providers doesn't exist, and for good reason," the Rocky Mountain Power statement said. "There is a long track record showing that states with open access have higher electricity rates than states with regulated utilities -- at least 3 cents per kilowatt-hour higher."
"I don't think that these [issues] are necessarily insurmountable," Powell said. "If this bill is not ready to pass if all the answers have not been given as to how this will work in practice, then I want to take more time with it."
H.B. 110 is scheduled to be discussed by the House Political Subdivisions Committee on Tuesday, Feb. 18, at 2 p.m. in Room 450 of the State Capitol. For more information on the bill, visit le.utah.gov.

|USTFCCCA honors two
NEW ORLEANS – The
U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA)
released its 2011 men's track and field Division I All-Academic selections on
Wednesday and named two University of Idaho athletes among its honorees.
Senior Eugenio Mannucci, a thrower from Viterbo, Italy
(Scientific-Biological HS), and junior Jeremy Klas, a vaulter from Moscow,
Idaho (Moscow HS) earned the recognition, and both are repeat honorees.
To earn the honor, a student-athlete must hold a minimum
3.25 cumulative grade-point average, and must either finish among the nation's
top 96 during the indoor season, or qualify for the NCAA Preliminary Round
"Both Jeremy and Eugenio are the complete package when it
comes to student-athletes," Idaho director of track and field Wayne Phipps
said. "They've had a huge amount of success at the conference and NCAA level,
and for them to combine that with success in the classroom is excellent. That's
what every coach hopes for in a student-athlete."
Klas has been recognized as a USTFCCCA Division All-Academic
pick all three years of his career. He is a Computer Science major with a 3.51
cumulative GPA and was a 2011 USTFCCCA All-America Honorable Mention pick and a
2010 USTFCCCA All-American, both in the indoor pole vault. He redshirted the
2011 outdoor season.
Klas is a three-time Western Athletic Conference Champion,
five-time first-team all-WAC honoree, three-time NCAA qualifier and holds Idaho's
indoor school record of 17-9 (5.41m) in the men's pole vault. He is also a
two-time CoSIDA Second-Team Academic All-District VIII selection.
Mannucci's honor is the second of his career and adds to his
laundry list of academic accomplishments. The senior earned his degree in
Animal and Veterinary Science (Pre-Vet) in December with a 3.75 GPA. He was
selected Pre-Vet Senior of the Year in the College of Animal and Life Sciences
and last week, was honored with the WAC's Stan Bates Award – the conference's
top award, which honors one male and female as the top scholar-athlete in the
Mannucci was a 2011 USTFCCCA All-America Second Team
selection after finishing 16th in the men's shot put. He is a three-time WAC
champion, including both the indoor and outdoor titles in 2011. He was a
five-time first-team all-WAC honoree, and his outdoor career best heave of
60-5.75 (18.43m) at the WAC Championships goes down as the sixth-best in Idaho
"We've been fortunate to have a lot of guys on our team who
take their academics very seriously, and that's important to us," Phipps said. "We're
recruiting student-athletes who can do outstanding work in the classroom and put
in the work on the athletics side, too."
Idaho's men have earned the academic recognition 11 times
since 2007. WAC athletes earned 11 total honors for the 2011 season and the organization
recognized a total of 420 student-athletes from 153 institutions. USTFCCCA
All-Academic women's teams will be released on Thursday, Aug. 4.

NAVIGON questions and answers
If you drive using NAVIGON, you'll want the exact details. How to download updates, for example, or install additional maps or services, or how NAVIGON FreshMaps works. You'll find manuals, downloads and answers to your questions here.
Select a topic, or enter a keyword to restrict your selection.
- I would like to change my device. Can I use the navigation software also on my new device?
We have to distinguish different processes:This entry was last updated on: Monday, October 28, 2013 3:48 PM
A: Same type of device.
You have used a certain type of device and you want to keep using the same type (e.g., you had a PDA before and will be using another PDA). In this case you can use the navigation software as long as the new device appears in the compatibility list.
Transfer content to another PDA
Please note that once already purchased contents are transferred from an old PDA to a new PDA, these contents must be removed from the old unit. Read more about this in our terms and conditions.
Device replacement
If your device has been damaged and you want to use a new device of the same type and operating system, then it is possible to transfer previously purchased packages and contents. Please note that the transfer to a newly registered device is only possible when the device is being replaced. To do so please contact our
customer support and have your old and new registration details ready for our agent.
Mobile Phones and Smartphones
With mobile phones and smartphones the re-use of your NAVIGON software depends on the platform and the operating system. This means that if you change your smartphone to one with a different operating system, e.g. Android-based smartphone to the iPhone, the NAVIGON software will no longer be useful. Using a different platform (Windows Phone 7, iPhone, Android, etc.) requires a different navigation software.
If you use the same operating system and you would like to transfer contents to another device within this same system, then you have to use the same account used for the purchase of the contents (e.g. iTunes Store, Google Play Store). For Android and iPhone users, it is even possible to install purchased contents on up to 5 devices simultaneously. Keep in mind that the same account that was used for the purchase has to be used.
Inn App Packages that you already purchased can be transferred manually by our Service Center.Please contact us.
Note: This does not apply to Apple since all the in-app packages can be restored in the software
Using NAVIGON software on the same platform
If you are using the iPhone or the Android full version you can use the NAVIGON app on several devices. Conditions and further information on how this procedure works can be found in the software description of the corresponding sales platform.
Some devices have to be registered. Please note that you need a new activation code if you change your device. Find out here what you have to be aware of during the change of registration.
Since the serial number has already been registered for the old device, it is not possible to re-use it. Please contact our customer service for the new registration data.
B: Change in the type of device.
You have used a certain type of device. However, your new device corresponds to a different type (e.g. you change from PDA to mobile phone or from PNA to PDA or any other combination). In this case the software used up till now will not be operational on the new device.

Financial Services
Case StudiesDownload
What keeps you up at night?
The global financial crisis of 2008 caused a paradigm shift in three core areas of the financial services industry. Firstly, the Cost-to-income Ratio (CIR) for most financial companies continues to be higher than the industry benchmark, creating a need for structural adjustments to global operations and IT models to drive cost reduction strategies.

Virgil's Eevee
this wiki
This Eevee is a normal-type Pokémon owned by Virgil.
Eevee is shown to be very affectionate and loving towards Virgil which can be seen when she jumped into Virgil's arms and began nuzzling against his cheek.
Virgil's 8th Eevee is a female Pokémon. While the other seven Eevee evolved into each of the seven different forms of Eevee, she was actually a little bit more spoiled than the others and was behind in training. While the other members of the squad rest in Poké Balls, Eevee spends more of her time on Virgil's shoulder and not in a Poké Ball. During the rescue mission, Virgil saw that she was a great member of the team just the way she was. She also loves ice cream (Castelia cones) as seen in Lost at the League! It was also seen battling Dino's Druddigon in A Unova League Evolution! and dodged Dragon Rage with Dig, hit Druddigon with Iron Tail, and finished the Final Round with her Trump Card, making Virgil the champ.

Pennsylvania residents have many unique voting needs. Select from the list above what best describes your situation...
Voting by Alternative Ballot
The federal Voting Accessibility for the Elderly and Handicapped Act of 1984 (VAA) (42 U.S.C. § 1973ee et seq.) generally requires polling places across the United States to be physically accessible to people with disabilities for all federal elections. Where no accessible location is available to serve as a polling place, a county must provide an alternate means of casting a ballot on the day of the election. If you have a disability, or are at least 65 years of age and have been assigned to a polling place deemed inaccessible by the County Board of Elections, you can vote by alternative ballot. If you are qualified to vote by alternative ballot, you have the right to do so regardless of whether you are able to appear to vote at the polling place. Much like an absentee ballot, an alternative ballot is a paper ballot that can be delivered to the County Board of Elections in person, by an authorized representative, or through the U.S. mail. Applications for alternative ballot must be submitted to your County Board of Elections no later than 5 p.m. on the Tuesday before Election Day. In case of an emergency, you can submit an Emergency Application for Alternative Ballot, which must be received by 8 p.m. on Election Day. Completed alternative ballots must be received by the County Board of Elections no later than 8 p.m. on Election Day (at the time the polls close).

I found these licorice twists in Whole Foods the other week. Usually I skip over the candy aisle in that place, since I've tried most of it and new products show up rarely. I was lucky to pass through and see these twists by accident. I immediately scooped them up, since I don't get to have good licorice things often. I also really love the idea of licorice twists, but have yet to find a kind that I truly enjoy.
The twists are very pretty. They actually look like vine charcoal. They almost have a dusty look to them. They smell faintly of licorice.
I am happy to see that molasses and licorice root are both listed on the ingredients list. I take my first bite and I immediately love what I'm tasting. These are very molasses heavy licorice twists. They have a nice thick chew, and a really silky licorice flavor. It's only slightly herbal, with a nice sweet smoothness from the molasses. These are way better than any type of mainstream licorice twist I've had to date.
I really am smitten with these. If you're a fan of licorice at all, or are looking fora good licorice candy to try for your first time, I really recommend these. Yum!

A lightweight trekker that hauls all you need.
The Gregory Z65 Backpack is a versatile, comfortable, and extremely lightweight hauler that is perfect for the trail or heading to the crag. With its plethora of pockets, this pack can easily store all your climbing gear or the equipment you need for a week of solitude and mountain air. Its CrossFlo suspension
system provides airflow to help keep you cool in warmer
weather without sacrificing the ability to comfortably shoulder a full load. The spring steel bar curves
with a wire frame directly into the lumbar pad in order to ensure the
load's entire weight transfers to your hips. Gregory covered the
shoulder straps and waist belt with ventilated EVA foam to help minimize discomfort and maximize cooling airflow for warmer days on the trail.
This top-loader also features a U-zipper side access so you can whip out an extra layer at a moment's notice. The front bucket pocket can stash that extra layer and leave it accessible and within reach at all times. The floating top lid is removable, and the integrated rain cover should protect your gear in case some black clouds unexpectedly float over your routes. Gregory also added an interior hydration sleeve with a hose port, a zippered front pocket for smaller items, two external stretch pockets for water bottles, and dual waist belt pockets for sunscreen, lip balm, and snacks for the trail. There are also hideaway loops for ice axes or trekking poles and compression straps at the bottom and sides to keep your ride smooth when you're not carrying a full load.
- CrossFlo suspension
- 16-22in torso range (depending on size)
- Spring steel bar and lumbar pad

Have questions about this product?
I've had one of these for many years and it has held up well to lots of usage.
Where are the ice axe loops on this pack?
Those bottom little tabs pull out right next to the lowest buckle of the pictured pack. They are little pieces of webbing with a metal bar on them which goes through the hole in the head of your axe.

In a video message and with a bright smile, Gabrielle Giffords announced she will be resigning from Congress this week to focus on her recovery.
The representative from Arizona, a Democrat, was shot January 8, 2011, in Tucson by Jared Lee Loughner, who killed six people and injured 13.
"I don't remember much from that horrible day, but I will never forget the trust you placed in me to be your voice," Giffords says in the video. "Thank you for your prayers and for giving me time to recover. I have more work to do on my recovery, so to do what is best for Arizona I will step down this week."
The New York Times reports that Giffords plans to "finish her Congress on Your Corner" event at the parking lot where the shooting took place as a private event, and that she may at some point run for election again.
"I will return, and we will work together for Arizona and this great country," she said in the video.

Hoatzin Bird
The strange Hoatzin (Opisthocomus hoazin) might not be as pretty as toucans, tanagers, and macaws, but it definitely wins the prize for the oddest bird in the Amazon. Nearly as large as a turkey, the Hoatzin spends most of its time loafing around the edges of oxbow lakes in the Amazon rainforest. Sitting in bushes and small trees that grow at the water's edge, Hoatzins makes odd grunting noises as they nip off leaves from the surrounding vegetation. They don't seem to pay much attention to people watching them although will attempt to clumsily flap their way to a nearby branch if observers get a little too close for comfort.
This strange bird only occurs in the Amazon jungle and has no close relatives. Indeed, its heritage has been a constant subject of debate among ornithologists since its discovery. It has been placed with the cuckoos, turkey-like birds, and was even considered to be some type of ancient prehistoric bird for a time. Although studies have indicated that the Hoatzin is not a living fossil, it still appears to belong to an old lineage of birds that may have no close relatives. One recent study of Hoatzin fossils showed that it may even have its origin in Africa and could have reached South America by floating across the Atlantic Ocean on clumps of vegetation!
Whatever the truth may be about its evolutionary history, the strange Hoatzin is one bird that should be seen by all guests of the Rainforest Expeditions eco-lodges.
Here are some interesting facts about the Hoatzin:

TUCSON, Ariz. – University of Arizona football receiver Nate Phillips has been named to the Football Writers' Association of America (FWAA) Freshman All-America Team, it was announced on Monday.
Phillips, a true freshman and 2013 All-Pac-12 Honorable Mention honoree, was one of just two Pac-12 Conference players representing the offense. In total, four league student-athletes were recognized as Freshman All-Americans by FWAA.
A native of Chandler, Ariz. and graduate of Basha High School, Phillips started 10 games in 2013, including all nine Pac-12 games. He led the Wildcats in receptions with 51 and receiving yards with 696 while scoring seven touchdowns. He averaged 53.5 yards per game, 13.6 yards per catch and registered career-long receptions of 57 yards at USC and vs. Boston College in the AdvoCare V100 Bowl.
Also against the Eagles, Phillips collected nine receptions and totaled 193 yards – the most ever by a true freshman in Arizona school history. The yardage total is 11th-most in single-game history. Phillips' 57-yard reception in the first quarter matched his career-long, previously set at USC on Oct. 10.
In the AdvoCare V100 Bowl, Phillips recorded Arizona's first 100-yard receiving game of the season (nine catches for 193 yards). UA's last 100-yard receiver was Austin Hill (8-175, 2 TD) against Nevada in the 2012 Gildan New Mexico Bowl.For continued coverage of Arizona football, follow the team on Facebook at facebook.com/ArizonaFootball and on Twitter @ArizonaFBall.

Lori Hudson, a fourth grade teacher at Phillip C. Showell Elementary School, was chosen to be the Indian River School District's 2013-14 Teacher of the Year. The announcement was made during an April 18 ceremony at Sussex Central High School. She was chosen from a pool of 15 candidates, one from each school in the district.
Q: Why did you want to become a teacher?
A: To experience lifelong success in students, watching them grow into adulthood. Also, in 1970, when I was less than two years old, my brother was born and labeled as "mentally handicapped." He had serious medical issues and passed away at the age of three.
Q: What's your favorite part about your job?
A: To see students learn to love school, be inspired and grow academically as well as socially.
Q: You were selected for this honor by your colleagues. How does that make you feel?
A: Absolutely humbled! The teachers of IRSD are the best of the best throughout the state. I feel that we should be honored every day for the hard work and dedication that is provided daily to the students of our communities.
Q: Did you think you were going to win?
A: Absolutely not. Each and every building teacher of the year demonstrates what we do on a daily basis. They are outstanding professionals and deserve recognition on a daily basis.

DCCC hosts presentations on the 'Unsinkable' Titanic
Published: Tuesday, April 2, 2013 at 11:48 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, April 2, 2013 at 11:48 a.m.
Davidson County Community College will explore the past in a riveting lecture about the famous "unsinkable" ship, the Titanic, which sank more than 100 years ago on April 15, 1912.
Two presentations will be held on April 15; the first from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. in the Reich Auditorium on the Davidson Campus, and the second from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. in Room 110 of the Administrative Conference Building on the Davie Campus. The events are free and open to the public.
M. Lamar Jones, program director and clinical instructor in the Histotechnology Program at DCCC, will present details on the world's most famous shipwreck. Jones, who has been a Titanic collector for nearly 40 years, will share not only artifacts but also first-person accounts from survivors, his experiences aboard an expedition exploring the wreck and images of the famous ship. Jones will also share accounts from several survivors he met.
"I was on the 1998 Titanic expedition that raised a piece of the actual hull. It is now traveling around the country in exhibits," Jones says. "I have also been doing research on the 'rusticles' — and the rust-eating bacteria eating away the hull itself. The survivors have since passed away, but their story about the Titanic, its grandeur and ultimately, its tragedy, still lives on. I think there is a great deal to be learned about the Titanic."

On Sunday, January 26, Monsignor Kevin Sullivan met with the leaders of other emergency food providers and Senator Kirsten Gillibrand at the Food Bank for New York City warehouse in the Bronx. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the impending further cuts of billions of dollars to supplemental nutrition assistance programs (SNAP) by the federal government.
The network of Catholic Charities agencies and programs are a significant part of the efforts to address the issue of hunger and food insufficiency. In fact, the roundtable discussion took place on the same day as the kickoff of Catholic Charities annual Feeding our Neighbors campaign, an archdiocesan–wide effort to replenish food pantries and respond to the overwhelming need in our New York community.
"It's just sort of a simple, homemade approach to a big problem," said Cardinal Dolan recently in support of the campaign. "Everybody talks about hunger and how bad it is, and our politicians argue about it, debate about it, but the faith community said, 'Let's do something about it.' "
"The meeting confirmed what Catholic Charities has been experiencing across our own network of emergency food programs throughout the communities in the New York metropolitan area," said Monsignor Sullivan. "Since November, after cutbacks in support of ongoing nutrition assistance programs [$5 billion nationwide], we have seen a surge in working families visiting our programs."
In Washington Heights for example, people have begun lining up before 7am to make sure they can obtain food for their families. Catholic Charities has over 4,000 families registered for food assistance but only enough food to serve 1,000 families in need each month.
Volunteer efforts and food drives can only do so much to address the overwhelming need. They cannot come close to replacing the need for government resources and assistance for families struggling to put food on the table.
