Bill Parcells
I mean, the guy has been here for 2+ years, and he took a 1-15 franchise and inserted his own guys, and remade the roster (I think we're at about 70% new players). And maybe the Cam team was just plain bad - or maybe it was mostly unlucky or somewhat uncoached. Can we look at the results and say the 2010 team is *that* much better top-to-bottom than the 2007 team.
I just don't know.
And it will be interesting to see what happens if/when Parcells leaves. If Sparano is 9-7 this season, and therefore has a medicore overall record - is that a success?
And will Ross hire someone else who wants his own people? Or does he stick with Ireland and Sparano?
Uncertain times are ahead for a team that ain't won nutin' since Reagan was president (okay they were in a championship game when GW Bush was president). And almost every team in the AFC has been in a championship game in that span. How is that possible??

I've been wondering the same thing. Looking over the last few years, the only thing we've been suffering on has been special teams and our team gelling properly. We finally have an O-Line that can let R&R run and give Henne enough time to pass. Sure, he still needs work, but he's good enough for what we need. Nolan has completely turned around our Defense. Once we get our ST issues resolved, which hopefully firing Bono has done, we should better results.
Dave: you're right. If you look at the drafting/free agency moves made by the genius and his lackeys since 2008, well -- Matt Millen couldn't have done worse. Or Jimmy Johnson, whose regime and grandfathering in of incompetent lackeys, Parcell's reign (and departure) scarily resembles. From the arrogant, unpleasant Ireland to arguably the dumbest coach on the NFL sidelines -- a guy who can't count (i.e., the 2-pt. try in last year's 2nd Jets game, allowing them back into the game) to the 54 yard botch vs. NE. Simply unqualified. Examine Parcell's history --
1) Jake Long: very good, athletically limited LT. Not Blue Chip.
2) Merling: bust.
3) Henne: ???? The geniuses had no QB yet they took Merling over Henne in 2008.
4) V. Davis: Blue Chip potential.
5) S. Smith: lost starting job.
6) P. White: bust.
7) P. Turner: bust.
8) J. Odrick: ???? Undistinguished training camp.
9) K. Misi: Invisible against good OLs.
10) J. Jerry: already missed 2 game due to "illness." Hope mother sent note.
10) K. Langford: solid 3-4 DE.
Free Agency:
1) J. Smiley: bust.
2) J. Grove: bust.
3) G. Wilson: bust.
4) E. Wilford: bust.
5) R. Starks: 2009 Pro Bowl-type season. Invisible last 2 games.
6) B. Marshall: no brainer, elite player.
7) K. Dansby, no brainer, excellent player.
In 2008 the Parcells brain trust set about building an OL. It's 2010 and they have a very good LT, three journeymen(currently) in the middle and an unathletic, slow Wannstedt 1st round reach @RT.
I won't bring up special teams, that's a throw-up!
Look @ Dallas. Lots of "talent," invisible on the field. The Parcells magic.
This franchise has been jinxed since the execrable Huizenga booted Shula. Lackeyism, ethnic/religious cronyism (political corrrectness doesn't allow me to say more), regal arrogance -- the Parcells trademark.

Yeshu'a did this beginning of the signs in Kana of Galil, and he manifested his glory, and his disciples believed in him. (John 2:11)
What were these "signs" a sign/ indication of?
Although I heartily agree with the spirit of the answers already given, I think it is important to explore what John himself had in mind when he penned the words in question. When you take a look at some of the other usages of "sign" in John's gospel (and there are several), a pattern emerges. Here is a sampling:
John 2:18
John 2:23
John 3:2
John 4:48
John 6:14
That final reference is probably the clearest. The signs were intended to confirm Jesus' identity as the Messianic Prophet, sent by God, as foretold in Deut 18 and elsewhere. (This perhaps echoes the idea found in Deut 13:1 that prophets are confirmed by both signs/wonders AND a Biblical message.)
[Note: That the people (or even the disciples) understood that He was, in fact, God incarnate is less certain. His divine identity unfolds gradually for most observers in John's gospel. Consider Thomas for example - Jn 20:28.]
Miracles are the "works" the Father gives to the Son to do, to provide proof that His teachings, "words" are true. The miracles convince the disciples that Jesus is to be believed. Nicodemus is clear that no one could do the works Jesus did unless the Father was with him.
Look at soldarnal's answer at Who does Jesus refer to by the phrase "another who testifies about me" in John 5:32?
This should give us food for thought here:
and here:
Simply put the 'signs' of Christ were those miracles that manifested his divinity. They were 'pointers' to his divinity and nature of ministry acting as sign posts of authority and seals of divinity. The miracle, or sign, of changing water into wine was the first of his ministry of which there were many afterwards. His signs manifested not just the divinity but the glory of his person and ministry as meek, mild, compassionate, empathetic healer and savior who sanctified and restored all of life as a humble servant and Son of Man on a cross.
This is quite unlike most miracles in the Old Testament which were often a miraculous destruction of sinners. This was 'new wine' in a new covenant that promised better things. Right from the outset Jesus seems much different from John the Baptists, the last of the Old Testament prophets, for John, on his peculiar ministry would not even drink wine and it does not seem like his ministry would tolerate any eating or drinking at a wedding.
This 'sign' which manifested his unique glory, divinity and humble purpose was striking and naturally believed by his true disciples. It was entirely consistent with everything the gospel proclaims - God's manifested kindness and grace in Christ.

Disturbing and Captivating
By Manzanita
from California
Comments about Inside North Korea DVD:
North Korea is fascinating. The place is so closed off to the world, that to see a documentary like this is extremely interesting. There aren't many opportunities to see what it's like inside the country and it's disturbing to see the high level of control the government has over its people. You get a sense of that as you watch this, and you will also see how brainwashed the people are, which is the most disturbing aspect of all. Perhaps the reviewer before me has seen a lot more of this than I have, and I will admit I am just starting to learn about this country. I was totally captivated all the way through and that is why I gave it 5 stars.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Introductory but Still Compelling
By Daryl
from San Francisco
If you have been intrigued by North Korea, like I am, you probably won't learn anything you didn't already know in this DVD but there are compelling sections in it that are worth viewing.The product description is somewhat misleading because the 52-minute duration of this programme is not entirely comprised of footage from Lisa Ling's visit to North Korea as part of a visiting overseas medical team.Perhaps half of the programme is either background information about Korean history, the juche philosophy, footage from the South Korean side of the DMZ, interviews with defectors, etc.Nevertheless, the actual North Korean footage is interesting, including a visit to a North Korean home and interview with the family. Without giving anything away, the final ten minutes of the programme is definitely the climax.

Although I enjoy meat in all of its gluttonous forms, nothing interests me quite like fish.
I must say that for TWAEOATAWAKI meals, fish is something that I can live with. The zombies don't appear to know what fish are, so while they are gnawing away the forest critters I know that there will still be fish for me.
Fish is also something that would not be subject to any government restrictions. I don't think the ATF will ever consider fish to be something that must be restricted. In fact I think the ATF will convince the DOJ that fish is something every hoarder should collect more of.
I can't decide which kind of fish would be my favorite go-to fish or bump-in-the-night fish. I think red snapper is my favorite. I love rolling my tongue all over a nice red snapper! Although an ill-tempered sea bass would be a good addition to my bug-out bag. Although I may use something else in my bug-in bag. Maybe ahi tuna. Maybe salmon. Still haven't decided. Salmon is definitely a big-bore item and so may only be good for my bug-in bag.

EPA Funnels Key Work to Industry-Backed Research Group
The Environmental Protection Agency last month awarded two grants to develop tests to measure toxic chemical exposure risk to non-profit research institutes indirectly supported by companies that make the chemicals. The EPA awarded a $750,000 grant to The Hamner Institutes, a research institute almost entirely funded by chemical and pharmaceutical companies, to conduct research on human exposure to the widely used insecticide carbaryl, which is manufactured by Union Carbide. Another near $750,000 grant went to CIIT or the Chemical Industry Institute of Technology, which is now an institute within the Hamner Institutes, and The LifeLine Group, Inc., to study tests involving perfluorooctanoate (PFOA) and perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS), which are manufactured by DuPont.
The research program, which has a total of five grantees, is an effort to measure and then link the biological effects of these chemicals on humans to the level of exposure to them in the environment. The tests could be used by the EPA to set exposure standards. Although neither Union Carbide nor DuPont gives money to The Hamner Institutes directly, both companies belong to the American Chemistry Council, which is one of the Hamner's major supporters, according to its website. Prior to its merger with The Hamner Institutes, CIIT received support from Dupont and Union Carbide. The Lifeline Institute is a private consulting and software development firm whose board of directors includes former Monsanto official James Wilson.
Open Access Bill Advances despite Publisher Protests
Free public access to all published articles produced from National Institutes of Health-funded research moved one step closer to reality last week. The bill, pushed by a coalition of more than 200 academic libraries, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and many academic societies, was included in the Labor-Health and Human Services appropriations bill that overwhelmingly passed the Senate. The House has already passed a similar measure. President Bush has threatened to veto the bill because of its spending targets for other programs.
Heather Joseph, executive director of the Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition of the Association of Research Libraries, hailed the Senate vote, which would vastly expand the content in NIH's free library at PubMedCentral. "This policy sets the stage for researchers, patients, and the general public to benefit in new and important ways from our collective investment in critical biomedical research," she said. The provision was opposed by the Association of American Publishers, which includes leading scientific publishers like Elsevier, Wiley, and the American Chemical Society, which claim their ability to support independent peer review of new studies depends on exclusive copyrights.
The publishers' campaign triggered an anonymous email campaign by an ACS insider that accused the chemical society's leaders of opposing the provision because their high salaries and bonuses are tied to publishing profits, The Scientist reported. Several top officials at ACS, which generates about a half a billion dollars a year in revenues from its 36 journals, earn over $750,000 a year, according to its latest Internal Revenue Service filings. The anonymous emailer's allegations drew an angry open letter from ACS chairwoman Judith L. Benham, who wrote that "the ACS's position on open access has been developed carefully over many years, in consultation with scientists and publishing experts from a wide range of scientific disciplines and interests."
ACS belongs to the Association of American Publishers, which earlier this year hired Dezenhall Resources, best known for defending Enron executives and opposing public interest groups, to launch a campaign opposing the open access legislation. In August, AAP launched a new website called Prism (Partnership for Research Integrity in Science and Medicine) that echoed the claim that open access would undermine peer review. That sparked James D. Jordan, president of Columbia University Press, to resign from AAP. Stephen Bourne, chief executive officer of Cambridge University Press told the Chronicle of Higher Education that "Prism's message is oversimplistic and ill-judged, with the unwelcome consequence of creating tension between the publishing community and the proponents of open access."
CDC's Gerberding Defends White House Censorship
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) director Julie Gerberding last week defended the White House's heavy editing of the climate change testimony she delivered to the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, as Democratic lawmakers blasted the administration for omitting key details on the extent and severity of health effects expected to result from global warming. While Gerberding said that she "said everything [she] needed to say," a CDC official who saw the uncut version called the final testimony "eviscerated."
The edits were the work of the White House Office of Management and Budget, which customarily reviews agency testimony prior to its delivery to Congress. Environment and Public Works Committee chairwoman Barbara Boxer (D-CA) called on the Bush Administration to release Gerberding's uncut statement, which, according to the Senator, contains details on climate change health effects that closely mirror the findings of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
Scientists Decry Politicization of Wolf Management
Scientists who authored the 2001 review of the Fish and Wildlife Service's (FWS) recovery program for the Mexican gray wolf last week blasted the agency's policy of killing wolves that repeatedly prey on livestock, claiming it jeopardizes the wolves' recovery program. The scientists also repeated their recommendation that the agency stop capturing and relocating wolves that stray beyond an agency-designated recovery area, a practice that has been in place since wolf reintroduction efforts began in New Mexico and Arizona in 1998. "The process is so highly politicized, and the biology is ignored" said Paul C. Paquet, professor of environmental science at the University of Calgary and one of the three authors of the review.
The American Society of Mammalogists in June declared the government's "predator-control programs are not based on sound scientific research" while 29 conservation organizations charged that the wolf-killing policy ignored "the genetic value of the targeted animal, the social relationship of the implicated wolf to other pack members, [and] the reproductive status of" animals slated for killing. New Mexico officials have also called for an end to the practice of killing wolves that prey upon three or more head of livestock within a year.
Odds and Ends
The Food and Drug Administration last week issued an 11-page warning letter to Sanofi-Aventis for failing to report fraud at clinical trial sites where the antibiotic Ketek was tested. The agency later slapped a black box warning on the drug after 13 people died from liver failure. The complaint confirmed allegations by FDA whistleblowers. Rep Bart Stupak (D-MI) of the House Energy and Commerce Committee last week promised the investigation would continue. . . The committee has also asked the National Cancer Institute for the financial records of 50 researchers involved in a $200 million government-run lung cancer screening trial, the Wall Street Journal reports. The paper had previously revealed that several lead researchers had testified in court for the tobacco industry. . . Drug company-funded studies of corticosteroid inhalers for asthma are less likely to find adverse effects than studies paid for by other sources, a research team from Children's Hospital La Fe in Valencia, Spain found. The researchers analyzed 504 studies of the drugs conducted between 1993 and 2002. . . The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services tells Reuters its decision to limit payments for excessive use of erythropoiesis-stimulating agents in cancer patients will stand because the American Society of Clinical Oncologists and manufacturers of the drugs, Amgen and Johnson & Johnson, failed to submit any evidence that would justify reopening the decision. Used excessively, the drugs cause some tumors to grow faster.

Song Fuxiang said in the past almost every battery module factories and Sony have procurement relationships , but Sony's problems , it is now almost all manufacturers are no longer on the Sony purchase, Sony batteries so large shipments of core contraction , leaving only Shipments are mainly used to meet the required recall .
Japan and South Korea occupy the top three laptop battery
From a cost point of view, the cost of laptop battery is about 30-40 U.S. dollars , second only to processor (CPU), hard drives, so the laptop works , Dell 312-0306 Battery such as Dell , Hewlett-Packard (HP), Apple , etc. regarded as a direct battery Procurement of parts and components . Which accounted for the highest proportion of lithium is barrel core , in general the most common six -cell battery of view , accounting for more than the overall cost of Qi Cheng , and the battery core owing to the heavy chemical industry , have very high technical threshold , and Require high-cost investment, mainly to South Korea, Japan -based manufacturers . The past is also important to Motorola, an American manufacturer lithium core , however , to compete against Japanese, Korean manufacturers, with industry risks are too high , it will also sell the battery core sector , and now Japan's Sanyo , Sony and Samsung in Korea Lithium is currently the world's top three core companies .
Downstream of the battery core is a home battery module plant , the plant has its own battery core module plant , however , Taiwan's notebook PC as a complete upper and lower village , so although there is no battery core plant , it still developed a battery module industry . Taiwan notebook battery module two major new plant P , Shunda that with a laptop on behalf of the factory and close relationship with the mainland at low wages ,Dell Inspiron 710m Battery, Dell F5136 Battery, Dell 312-0306 Battery, Dell 312-0305 Battery Dell Inspiron 500m Battery, scored the industry.
Although manufacturers will purchase the right to revert to NB grasp, but , for the attitude module plant is still quite a space, the notebook computer makers will do to the battery core factory certification , each with several core works with the battery . In addition, the requirements for the battery module factory design a series of standards is not mandatory for each model with a solution, the module works as long as the proposed safety standards in line with manufacturers specifications , then the battery to the core by certified battery plant procurement Core can be assembled into modules .
Dell and Apple are the victims
The large-scale recovery, just in Dell announced second quarter earnings expectations may not be as time , Dell's growth rate over the past year has slowed down, so many people to the recovery movement and Dell recently the plight of more than a year associate , question whether a series of Dell adjustment, in the past for the quality control has been relaxed.
The large-scale recovery, just in Dell announced second quarter earnings expectations may not be as time ,Dell F5136 Battery, Dell's growth rate over the past year has slowed down, so many people to the recovery movement and Dell recently the plight of more than a year associate , question whether a series of Dell adjustment, in the past for the quality control has been relaxed.
However, with the Song Fuxiang has been working with Dell , said Dell's standard is almost the most demanding , the new general became the first scored the supply chain, Taiwan Dell battery module plant , through Dell 's certification is representative of the new common technology Recognition , this time in the past , Dell's security requirements and not reduced .
Later, when Apple Computer announced that follow-up recall , Dell's market concerns ease only slightly . But the trade, these defective cells from the second year of the new production ? ? these four years during the first half of this year , for up to two years, during which various laptop brands that use Sony's battery cell battery case overheating occurs frequently , I believe Sony over the quality of these manufacturers are still to blame .
In fact, in a few months ago , the battery module factory on receipt of Dell, Apple batteries in response to recall the necessary orders , and when one after another ship in August . But manufacturers say , Dell, Apple , the other is also produced by Sony 's laptop battery manufacturers are still waiting to see , and no further action . The number of foreign news coming one after another , such as Sony ,Dell Inspiron 710m Battery, Dell F5136 Battery, Dell 312-0306 Battery, Dell 312-0305 Battery Dell Inspiron 500m Battery, announced that only Dell and Apple have such a large-scale recall of action . Some also use Sony batteries core brands such as Lenovo , Fujitsu and so on , announced that the products are heat-resistant design , it will not have overheating problems .
But things really as bad as manufacturers said, Dell, Apple , after all it will survive without you? The company strongly disinfection , the battery R & D staff is very concerned to express , including Dell , Apple included, all laptop brands have heat or overheating shutdown of the design , but still there was overheating .
In fact , these security problems will not only in these two companies , Dell Inspiron 710m Battery, only because Dell is the sales of Sony's purchase of the largest notebook vendor, so it might give the impression Dell's poor design . In fact, any use of Sony laptop batteries , such problems are likely to occur .
However, for consumers, because the battery does not indicate a general supplier of the battery core , you want to identify the battery manufacturer, is actually unlikely . Battery R & D personnel on condition of anonymity suggested that not address the safety concerns , several major brand notebook computers , in addition to already announced the recall of Dell, Apple and Sony 's own VAIO, Lenovo 's ThinkPad are also used in all current virtually Sony notebook computer batteries , consumer use, the best time of purchase must also pay attention . As for another fight with the Dell PC maker Hewlett-Packard led , not because of Sony's purchases , but unexpectedly become a relatively safe choice .

ZF-9068: File_Transfer_Adapter_Abstract: _detectMimeType() uses undeclared variable $magicFile
In the File_Transfer_Adapter_Abstract class there's a function called _detectMimeType(). This function uses the finfo class to get the files mime type. If your magic libraries are in an atypical place you need to enter the libraries' location as the classes second parameter. In the _detectMimeType() function this is done by using the $magicFile variable (if it's set). However the variable is never set and can't be set anywhere other than by inserting a dirty hack in the function...

CLEMSON - Professors Liang Dong and John Ballato have recently received a major grant from the Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) to investigate the use of advanced optical fibers for high power lasers. Fiber-based lasers have a broad range of military "speed-of-light" defensive applications on air, land and sea platforms. Fiber-based lasers typically require less power and are more compact and lightweight than chemical, gas and other types of lasers; hence, fiber-based lasers can be used in a wide variety of applications and platforms and bring tremendous benefits to a variety of military operations. Fiber-based laser technology can also be used for many other types of applications including precision machining, optical communications, medical applications, and spectroscopy.
As part of the AFOSR High Energy Laser (HEL) Multidisciplinary Research Initiative (MRI) program, Principal Investigator (PI) Dong and Co-PI Ballato will received approximately $1.4M over next three years. If the first three years are successful, a potential two-year $1.1M extension will be made available for a total of $2.5M over five years. The competition for this research award was extremely high. There were four major thrust areas being solicited under the HEL MRI which was sponsored by the Joint Technology Office (JTO) and the Office of the Deputy Undersecretary of Defense for Science and Technology. The primary focus of the HEL MRI program is to enhance the capabilities of the U.S. institutions of higher education to perform basic science and engineering research related to lasers, optics, laser interaction physics and advanced concepts necessary for national defense applications. AFOSR, in conjunction with other government officials, selected the eight winning proposals based on the evaluation criteria listed in the broad agency announcement.

Nicole Kidman
Honolulu, Hawaii
"To be an actor you have to have a certain amount of madness in you. That's why, when people meet you and you seem very together, they are quite surprised -- they don't see you behind closed doors."
- Nicole Kidman
Nicole Kidman is head and shoulders above her peers, and it's not merely because of her towering 5'11" frame. This statuesque Aussie has established herself as one of the greatest actresses of her generation with commanding performances in Moulin Rouge!, Cold Mountain and The Hours. Kidman can be seen next in Rabbit Hole, a heart-wrenching drama about a couple grieving the loss of their only child.
Nicole Kidman BiographyIt may surprise many moviegoers to discover that Australia's favorite female actress wasn't actually born in the Land Down Under. The daughter of a prominent biochemist, Nicole Mary Kidman was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, and spent her early years in Washington, D.C., where her Australian-born father was a visiting fellow at the National Institute of Mental Health. The Kidman clan eventually returned to Oz following Nicole's fourth birthday and settled down in an affluent Sydney suburb.
nicole kidman makes her big screen debutNicole Kidman took to her new surroundings like a fish to water and soon became heavily involved with Sydney's Philip Street Theater and the Australian Theatre for Young People, where her performances in front of the footlights earned rave reviews from critics and audiences alike. This lithe redhead later graduated to the big screen in 1983 with leading roles in the teen adventure film BMX Bandits and the beloved holiday classic Bush Christmas, a pair of films that helped establish her as one of the country's most promising young actresses.
Kidman continued to showcase her range throughout the 1980s with recurring roles in popular TV programs like A Country Practice and File Mile Creek. She also won her first Best Actress award from the Australian Film Institute in 1987 for her breakthrough performance in the gritty miniseries Vietnam.
nicole kidman marries tom cruiseNicole Kidman's reputation began spreading beyond Australia in 1989 with the success of Dead Calm, an eerie thriller about a couple who unwittingly rescues a shipwrecked murderer. Tom Cruise was so impressed by her performance that he demanded she be cast as his love interest in Days of Thunder the following year. Cruise had his way and the couple began a red hot love affair on the set, culminating in a lavish wedding on December 24, 1990.
The well-publicized romance transformed Kidman into an overnight sensation and she cashed in with leading roles in Billy Bathgate, starring Dustin Hoffman and Bruce Willis and Malice, starring Alec Baldwin and George C. Scott. She also played Cruise's fiery Irish lover in Far and Away, an ambitious period piece that ultimately tanked at the box office.
nicole kidman comes into her ownNicole Kidman truly began to win over American audiences in 1995 with her tour de force performance as a fame-crazed weathergirl in To Die For. The deliciously dark film earned her a slew of honors including her first Golden Globe. She also showed off her softer, sexier side that summer by cozying up to Val Kilmer in Batman Forever, one of the year's biggest blockbusters.
nicole kidman stars in eyes wide shutKidman's next few films were nothing if not eclectic as she donned a corset for The Portrait of a Lady, tracked down stolen nuclear weapons in The Peacemaker and swapped spells with Sandra Bullock in Practical Magic. She finally returned to more familiar terrain in 1999 when she reteamed with Cruise in Eyes Wide Shut, a steamy sexual thriller that was universally panned for its dense plot and labored pacing.
nicole kidman and tom cruise divorceAudiences were spared from having to sit through another Kidman-Cruise collaboration in 2001 when the couple divorced due to irreconcilable differences. While a lesser actress may have allowed herself to fade into oblivion, Nicole Kidman began turning in some of the finest work of her career, beginning with her Oscar-nominated performance as a singing and dancing courtesan in Moulin Rouge!
She later proved she was more than just a pretty face the following year when she donned a prosthetic nose and layers of makeup to play English author Virginia Woolf in The Hours. The transformation was so complete that many audience members didn't even realize they had been watching Kidman until the final credits rolled on the screen. Members of the Academy were equally amazed by her performance and rewarded Kidman with her first Oscar for Best Actress later that winter.

|Princeton's defense helped keep the pressure off Darcy Hargadon in goal, as she recorded saves on both of Army's two shots on goal. Princeton allowed only three shots on goal over the two-game weekend.
While already leading 2-0, the Tigers used a nice defensive play to put the game away. Erika Hoglund took the ball away from an Army player in the midfield and chipped it to Jessica Haley, who found a charging Tyler Lussi to make it 3-0 in the 59th minute.
• After each scored one goal in Friday night's game, Tyler Lussi and Lauren Lazo combined again to beat Army.
• Princeton has scored five goals over the first two games in each of the last two seasons. Last season, the Tigers opened with eight goals over the first three games.
|Princeton is 8-2 all-time against Seton Hall, which the Tigers will play Thursday at 7 p.m. on the road. The teams met last in 2011 in South Orange, a 2-1 double-overtime win for the Pirates.

Over the years, Log Haven staff have witnessed ghostly visitors. Some frequent apparitions include L.F. Rains, Log Haven's founder, as well as a chef dressed in full attire, a tall bearded man wearing a top hat, and a child and woman in vintage clothing. A server, who wishes to remain anonymous, reports getting a wedgie from one of these phantoms.
In light of its haunted history, Haunted Haven will present a three-day festival of "delights from the dark side." From Oct. 29–31, prepare to be frightened and delighted as you explore Chef "Dracula Dave" Jones' à la carte menu, including Jack O Lantern soup, roasted in Hell pumpkin seeds ; Killer Cellared Natural NY Steak with Anti–Vampire Potatoes and Bloody Red Wine–Fungus Swamp Sauce; and Blood Orange Sorbet and Boonilla Ice Cream on pressed Chocolate Ants. The regular menu will also be offered. Creepy Cocktails include the Zombie (made with two kinds of rum and Absinthe) and the Dark Spirit (vodka, Godiva liqueur).
Diners will be entertained by more than just their food. Log Haven mystics Margo Provost and Faith Sweeten will conduct complimentary Tarot card readings (reservations recommended), and the Winter Conservancy will feature the classic silent film Nosferatu the Vampire each evening. Before you depart, don't forget to participate in the drawing for a Dinner for Two.
Guests are encouraged to come costumed as their favorite ghoul or spirit. For more info on the Haunted Haven visit their blog. To make a reservation, call 801-272-8255 or visit log-haven.com.

nice shirt
By Yup!
from Los Angeles, CA
I'm a person who seeks out nice looking, comfortable, casual clothes to wear to work. I don't like to dress up. This shirt fits the bill nicely. I already had it in black & liked it a lot. So, I recently bought the lavender one & I'm very pleased with it also. The fit is true to size and it looks exactly like the image in the catalog & online. The fabric feels good (not thin or cheap).
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Not pleased with sizing
By Cherri
from Colorado Springs
About Me Casual, Eclectic
Had hoped to wear the shirt on various trips, but the shorter length will limit my use. The print really does not show clearly on the website, so I was surprised to see the amount of green in the shirt.
From National Geographic:Thank you for your feedback. We regret that this shirt did not live up to your expectations. Everything from the National Geographic Store is unconditionally guaranteed, and we want you to be happy with your purchase. If you prefer to return this item for an exchange or refund, please contact our customer service department at firstname.lastname@example.com.
15 yr. old likes fabric design
By Solvej
from Washington, D.C.
15-yr. old likes fabric design, as do I. Good fit for "small" 15-yr. old. Belly-button length probably inappropriate for high school, w/o some form of underwear, like white silk. Thermal white silk could also extend season "wearing" life into colder months.

Love This Shirt
By Christmas
from Montana
About Me Bargain Shopper, Casual, Classic
I ordered the black one and really love this shirt. My only complaint is the length. If it was 2 inches longer it would be perfect. As it is if you raise your arms, you are showing a bit of skin. I solved that problem by getting a 3 inch piece of stretch lace and sewing it on the bottom. It looks good and I can wear it for casual or dress. If the shirt was longer, I would have all three colors. National Geographic are you reading?
From National Geographic:Yes we are reading and thank you so much much for your comment. We really appreciate the time our customers take in writing reviews -- it truly helps us. We will take a look at the specifications again and see if we can add some length.

Cheap fabric, unattractive fit
By Heather
from Red Hook, New York
Pros: This was a gift and the kind sentiment that came with it is well appreciated. Unfortunately I will be returning it.Cons: This item is grossly over priced. It is a crew neck, crop top with elbow length sleeves. The fabric is thick and the nontraditional print is nauseatingly busy. The style and fit are unflattering. And, did I mention it is ridiculously over priced?

As Couric takes her seat at the anchor desk of CBS Evening News, her correspondents and producers in the field will be flooding her with images of war, climatological cliff-hangers around the world and tales of an ugly partisan fight for control of Congress.
Couric will be scrutinized for how she handles the news. But viewers and critics will be paying close attention to other factors too: whether she dons the horn-rimmed glasses she sometimes wore on the Today show to project gravitas; if the anchor's desk has been reconfigured to show off her legs; and whether Couric has adjusted the timbre of her voice and the wattage of her smile to the sweet spot on the spectrum between perky and powerful.
Couric joins hundreds of other women holding high-level jobs in the media, politics and the corporate world at a time when audiences (viewers, voters, shareholders) are getting used to hearing the news of the day and affairs of state delivered by a woman. But even as women wield increasing power, they—and we—still struggle with how that voice of authority should look and sound.
I know this dilemma firsthand. I'm 52, and I became the first woman managing editor of the New York Times after a string of other "firsts,'' including serving as the Times's first female bureau chief in Washington, D.C. I've been reporting on the intersection of gender and power—Anita Hill, Hillary Clinton, Condoleezza Rice—since I started out as a political and investigative reporter in the 1970s. I know that acquiring authority as a woman is tough enough; using and projecting it is even more complicated. There are plenty of pitfalls and few good role models.
Couric's deal was still in the negotiating stages when CBS chief Leslie Moonves proclaimed that the era of the "voice of God" anchor was dead. Since then, CBS has been trying to figure out exactly what era we're in. Couric spent weeks traveling around the country this summer on a listening tour modeled on one taken by Clinton before her 2000 Senate campaign. It wasn't just a publicity tour, but one designed to help Couric find her anchor's voice. I agree with Moonves that the very notion of an Olympian voice of authority, in the mold of Edward R. Murrow or Walter Cronkite, is passé. Comedy Central's Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert have built successful shows by puncturing the pompous, gas-filled television talking heads. Anderson Cooper's emotive style may give Couric a wider emotional berth as well. The explosion of the Internet, with so many voices (many of them ideological), has also radically changed and democratized where people go for news and whom they view as an authority.
Journalists—including God himself, Walter Cronkite, in conversation with CNN's Larry King—have also talked about whether Couric has the hard- news cred for the CBS Evening News job, one that involves setting an agenda and leading a staff. Does she have the knowledge, the experience? Fair questions.
But the endless comments about her looks and accessories are silly and retro—even if they are inevitable. Until women anchors are old news, until Hillary or another woman has occupied the West Wing, we'll be flyspecked with these gender-based visual aids. The irony: As my female contemporaries in influential jobs have all learned, the one way not to establish power and authority is to imitate men. If Couric tries to ape Uncle Walter (and she wouldn't), she's dead. Perhaps there is a reason why there is no female equivalent of the word avuncular.

One spring evening a few years ago, I was cooking up a slab of salmon and half-listening to "All Things Considered" (along with a boisterous fight between my daughters over the rightful ownership of a cherished shirt) when my cell phone rattled my kitchen counter with an incoming text.
Like most texts, the message wasn't terribly significant ("coffee tomorrow morning?"). But the level of excitement I felt in receiving it suggested that something might be out of balance. I wasn't just used to being interrupted — I had actually come to crave it. And I realized how exhausting that was.
In many ways, mine was a charmed life. At 44, I was blessed with good health, a gaggle of fantastic, loving friends, the family I'd always wanted, a brownstone in the city and a country house in the Catskills. I'd worked in television and radio journalism when I was younger, and I was now (mostly) grateful to have the means to do volunteer work in my community, spend plenty of time with my girls, take on the occasional freelance gig and travel en famille.
And yet, I was slowly coming to see that I was losing my way.
What I considered the tail of my life — emails, texts, the sundry tasks that expressed themselves as urgencies but invariably washed into a sea of forgetting once completed — was wagging the dog. And the dog sensed there was much more to experience.
And so I decided to enroll in a 10-day silent meditation retreat.
"Couldn't you just take a vacation?" asked my neighbor Wally.

I recently needed to setup MySQL replication across 4 servers, so that each one is a slave of another.
After several hours of tweaking I finally got this working - it was actually quite simple. I am using MySQL 5.5.
What happens if one of the machines fails and the replication stops happening?
For instance, if there was a change on server 1, and server 3 failed during the change, the 4th machine will not know about the change.
What are possible scenarios to think about? How can I mitigate this issue?

ZF-6483: Zend_Service_Amazon_Ec2 describe() won't work for european instances
When using the sample code in the documentation:
$ec2_instance = new Zend_Service_Amazon_Ec2_Instance('aws_key',
$return = $ec2_instance->describe();
to return a list of instances, I got no results. But I was indeed running an instance. After searching I found the solution here: http://developer.amazonwebservices.com/connect/… . I successfully managed to list my european instances when changing the following:
const EC2_ENDPOINT = 'ec2.amazonaws.com';
const EC2_ENDPOINT = 'eu-west-1.ec2.amazonaws.com';
I suggest adding a setEndpoint / setRegion method to the Ec2 classes.
I will work on this and get something in 1.8.1
I missed 1.8.1 due to time contraints with my RL job. I'm working on this tonight so it will be in 1.8.2
This was fixed with r15647

Pelvic pain in women refers to pain in the lowest part of your abdomen and pelvis. If asked to locate your pain, you might sweep your hand over that entire area rather than point to a single spot. Chronic pelvic pain is pain in your pelvic region — the area below your bellybutton and between your hips — that lasts six months or longer.
Chronic pelvic pain can be a symptom of another disease, or it can be a condition in its own right. The cause of chronic pelvic pain is often hard to find. If the source of your chronic pelvic pain can be found, treatment focuses on that cause.
Some women never receive a specific diagnosis that explains their pain. But that doesn't mean your pain isn't real and treatable. If no cause can be found, treatment focuses on managing the pain.
Chronic pelvic pain has many different characteristics. Signs and symptoms may include:
In addition, you may experience:
Your discomfort may intensify after standing for long periods and may be relieved when you lie down. The pain may be mild and annoying, or it may be so severe that you miss work, can't sleep and can't exercise.
With any chronic pain problem, it can be difficult to know when you should go to the doctor. In general, make an appointment with your doctor if your pelvic pain disrupts your daily life or if your symptoms seem to be getting worse.
Several conditions may be the source of chronic pelvic pain. Sometimes, chronic pelvic pain may develop for no apparent reason and without any definitive source or cause. In addition, psychological factors may contribute to your pain. The emotional distress that may result from dealing with pain that has no good explanation over a long period of time often in itself makes the pain feel worse.
Some causes of chronic pelvic pain include:
You're likely to start by seeing your family doctor or a doctor who specializes in conditions affecting the female reproductive tract (gynecologist). Depending on the suspected cause of your pain, he or she may refer you to a specialist in digestive system problems (gastroenterologist), a specialist in urinary and gynecologic problems (urogynecologist) or a specialist in musculoskeletal pain (physiatrist or physical therapist).
To prepare for your appointment:
Some basic questions to ask your doctor include:
In addition to the questions you've prepared in advance, don't hesitate to ask questions during your appointment at any time that you don't understand something.
Your doctor will likely ask you a number of questions. Being ready to answer them may leave extra time to go over any points you'd like to have clarified. Your doctor may ask:
Figuring out what's at the root of your chronic pelvic pain often involves a process of elimination because many different disorders can cause pelvic pain. In addition to a detailed interview about your pain, your personal health history and your family history, your doctor may ask you to keep a journal of your symptoms.
Possible tests or exams your doctor might suggest include:
Finding the underlying cause of chronic pelvic pain can be a long process, and in some cases, a clear explanation may never be found. With patience and open communication, however, you and your doctor can develop a treatment plan that helps you live a full life with minimal discomfort.
If your doctor can pinpoint a specific cause, your treatment will focus on eliminating that cause. However, if the cause of your pelvic pain can't be found, treatment will focus on managing your pain.
Depending on the cause, your doctor may recommend a number of medications to treat your condition, such as:
Your doctor may recommend specific therapies or procedures as a part of your treatment for chronic pelvic pain. These may include:
To correct an underlying problem that causes chronic pelvic pain, your doctor may recommend a surgical procedure, such as:
You may need to try a combination of treatment approaches before you find what works best for you. If appropriate, you might consider entering a pain rehabilitation program. These types of programs, such as the Pain Rehabilitation Center at Mayo Clinic, typically provide a team approach to treatment, including medical and psychiatric aspects.
One frustrating aspect of chronic pain is that it can have a major impact on your daily life. When pain strikes, you may have trouble sleeping, exercising or performing physical tasks.
Anxiety and stress may worsen chronic pain. Effective stress management techniques not only help reduce your stress levels but also may help ease stress-triggered pain. Use or learn strategies for managing stress, such as:
Some types of alternative and complementary therapies may reduce pain associated with certain medical conditions. Ask your doctor if you should consider trying these approaches, and whether he or she can recommend a trusted practitioner.
Depending on your medical history, life situation and test results, your doctor may be able to tell you how likely these therapies are to relieve your symptoms. He or she can also let you know about any potential risks based on your personal health history. Examples of therapies include:

Edge of the Woods farm offers pony rides and petting zoos that travel to you! I found out they also have a 4-H club for ponies, one for mini-ponies and now one for Breyer horses. I have seen this company around southern NJ at various events. The animals are all in wonderful shape and the owners are seen checking up on them and rotating them through so if it is too hot or one looks tired (at Salem county fair it was brutal!) they get to rest. The prices are so much less than most pony ride places and the owners are really friendly. I took their business card and will be getting them to do a party soon!

Art Theft
It's like stealing history.
Art and cultural property crime—which includes theft, fraud, looting, and trafficking across state and international lines—is a looming criminal enterprise with estimated losses in the billions of dollars annually.
To recover these precious pieces—and to bring these criminals to justice—the FBI has a dedicated Art Crime Team of 16 special agents, supported by DOJ trial attorneys for prosecutions. And it runs the National Stolen Art File, a computerized index of reported stolen art and cultural properties for the use of law enforcement agencies across the world.
Please note: U.S. persons and organizations requiring access to the National Stolen Art File should contact their closest FBI Field Office; international organizations should contact their closest FBI Legal Attaché Office.

Ciao tutti,
I finally got to see "Souvenir" at ACT tonight. We used to listen to Jenkins recordings about a century ago when I was in college, so I had to see what theater had come up with to represent her life.
Initially the preview tickets were cheap, but by the time I was ready to go they were way too expensive, so I decided to try to usher . . . they wouldn't accept request for less than a week in advance, so I called the ticket office and mentioned that I was a singer. He said they had special code ticket called "singer4″ which would get me a ticket in the high balcony for $7.00, so off I went. It was fine with my opera glasses, very clear.
It was very professionally done and I had been wondering how it would be to hear too much of her horrendous singing for an entire play. Fortunately, they only used short blurbs to show how bad she was. I actually felt that Judy Kaye, the actress who played Jenkins was a little over the top in her badness, a little too screechy, especially since she is a legitimate and classically trained singer in her own right and while Jenkins herself sang horribly, the recordings that I have do sort of sound like a singer! It was touching how Cosme McMoon, her accompanist "danced around" the truth that she was horrible for 12 years as her accompanist and they eventually learned to care deeply for each other.
The peak was reached in the latter part when she sang much more, though not for entire pieces and in an array of incredible costumes, which was one of her signatures. By the time she sang at Carnegie Hall they had to turn away 2,000 people, even if they came to snicker under their breath at her and they infer that she was aware of how she was a laughing stock. The reviews, now that was truly singing publicly were devastating and she had a heart attack a month later . . . she was in her 70s. In the play they claim that it wasn't that she finally learn the truth about her voice. Who can say?
In an ironic conclusion Ms. Kaye finally sang Gounod's "Ave Maria" as McMoon suggests Jenkins probably hear herself in her deluded head. It was a sweet closing after all the costumes and squalling, although for people like ourselves, her real voice is beyond its prime. Yet it was a nice conclusion and the general public ate it up.
I'm glad I went, even if I was a little disappointed because I've been wanting to go ever since I heard it was happening.
Just thought I'd share my little "review" with you. I can't honestly say I would recommend anyone rush to see it before it closes next weekend, unless you really want to see what they've come up with and/or are kind weirdly fascinated with Florence Foster Jenkins strange delusional perception that she could actually sing.
