MIAMI DOLPHINS: Who wants to ride in a helicopter?
Sound the alarms. There's a new addition to my bucket list.
I'd like to formally announce that before I leave this earth I plan to ride in a helicopter. In fact, considering I'm an adventure seeker I'm putting it on this summer's to-do list.
Dolphins owner Steve Ross and Jeff Fisher have served as the inspiration for that new bucket list item (I'm putting it right ahead of skydiving).
Ross pulled out all the stops in his courtship of Fisher on Tuesday, showing him that we do it BIG Willie style (named after Will Smith, I think) down in South Florida (beat that St. Louis).
Ross is working super hard to build a winning franchise, and he's pulling out all the stops to get his guy this time around.
Fisher was impressed enough with his mode of transportation that he took a picture of it before boarding the helicopter for their next stop.
The big question is….does everyone being considered for the Dolphins head coach position get to ride in the helicopter? Or is it just for the candidates Miami has competition for?
At this time the Sun-Sentinel can not confirm that an offer was made to Fisher, who we've pointed out for weeks is atop the team's desired candidates because of his pedigree, level of experience, respect in the industry, and knack for developing quarterbacks.
However, it is hard to believe one wasn't extended, and that the offer won't set the bar high for the Rams, which are also hot on Fisher's trail, and will likely sit down with him in the coming days.
From my standpoint there's no comparing these two jobs, especially if the money and power given is comparable (we don't know those two aspects just yet).
Here's all the criteria you'd think could become a factor in Fisher's decision if money and power aren't in play.
QUARTERBACK: The Rams have 2010 No. 1 pick Sam Bradford to offer. The Dolphins have Matt Moore, who finished 2011 with a 6-6 record, and statistically ranked as the 12th best quarterback in the NFL. Think what you want about Moore but he smoked Bradford from a production standpoint. Bradford has the pedigree, but hasn't produced big numbers, or big wins in his two seasons. He's also injury prone. But St. Louis could sell the fact he's got upside. However, if I'm Fisher I don't want a quarterback forced on me. I want to pick my own. Unfortunately the Rams have the No. 2 pick. EDGE: St. Louis.
TALENT OF TEAM: St. Louis wouldn't be at the top of the draft again, or have fired its coach and General Manager if the shelves were filled with talent. But decent front-line players, including an aging Steven Jackson, are there. Chris Long, James Laurinaitis, Quintin Mikell, Harvey Dahl) are all solid, and some promising young players like Rodger Saffold, Robert Quinn, Lance Kendricks, and Greg Salas have upside. But any of those names excite you?
The Dolphins have Brandon Marshall, Reggie Bush, Anthony Fasano, Jake Long, Cameron Wake, Mike Pouncey, Randy Starks, Jared Odrick, Karlos Dansby, Kevin Burnett, Yeremiah Bell and Vontae Davis as its front line players. EDGE: Dolphins.
LOCATION: Raise your hand if you've been to St. Louis? Raise your hand if you enjoyed your time in St. Louis? Raise your hand if you want to go to St. Louis? Raise your hand if you think free agents will want to go to St. Louis if they aren't being overpaid?
Now that nobody has raised their hand, let us think about all that Miami the location has to sell. Last season I learned (really didn't believe it until now) that South Florida is the desired destination for most NFL free agents. I thought it was fiction, but learned it is fact because of the quality of life aspects South Florida brings to the table. EDGE: Dolphins.
RESOURCES: We'll start with the helicopter ride and stop there. Every owner should have a private jet, but how many of them avoid traffic from the airport to the facility with the helicopter?
Say what you want about Steve Ross but he hasn't cut corners on resources YET, and that's a good sign for a coach when it comes to paying top dollar to lure quality assistants, and do what it takes to lure free agents and scout draft prospects. EDGE: Dolphins.
All that's left is the conference played in (St. Louis has an edge because the Rams are in a division full of lackluster teams), and the individuals (owner and General Manager) Fisher would work with.
It's irresponsible to judge those aspects because we don't know enough about St. Louis' setup, and we don't know what level of power Fisher would/was offered. But don't be naive enough to think the presence of Jeff Ireland as General Manager is/was a deal breaker.

Related MediaVideo of incident - graphic language
Update - Video shows rogue wave hitting ferry
Published: Wednesday, May 15, 2013 at 11:02 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, May 15, 2013 at 2:42 p.m.
Passengers aboard the last run of the Southport-Fort Fisher Ferry on Tuesday got a scare when a 925-foot Liberian cargo ship created a 10-foot-tall wave that crashed onto the ferry deck.
Harold Thomas, director of ferries for the N.C. Department of Transportation, said the ferry was returning to Fort Fisher from Southport about 6:30 p.m. Tuesday when the Hanjin Pretoria left the Port of Wilmington and created a wave that washed over the ferry deck.
"Essentially a rogue wave hit our vessel," Thomas said.
Video provided to the StarNews by passenger Woody Gordon shows ferry riders watching as the wave comes crashing on deck. Immediately following the incident, motorists survey the damage to vehicles. One man throws his hand out in disgust as he looks at the damaged driver's side headlight on a car.
Thomas said when the two ships passed, the ferry was in about 13 to 15 feet of water while the cargo ship was in an estimated 30 to 50 feet of water, Thomas said.
The Coast Guard is investigating the incident, said Petty Officer Brandyn Hill, spokesman for the Coast Guard's Fifth District.
Hill said at least one person reported an injury and vehicles were damaged when the wake washed over the ferry's bow.
The rushing water moved the vehicles, despite emergency brakes being on, Thomas said.
Costs of damages will be assumed by the at-fault vessel, Hill said.
Thomas said he couldn't recall another incident like this one in the busiest channel traveled by any of the DOT's 22 ferries in the state.
"This is honestly a first for me. This is very, very freak in nature, especially if you look at the amount of departures," he said. About 10,000 ferry trips depart from Southport each year, Thomas said. The route is the only one in the state where ferries daily face major ships of the magnitude of the Hanjin Pretoria, he said.
Thomas said the only damage the ferry sustained was a bent pole that holds a safety net. The damage did not prevent the ferry from running Wednesday.
"From my point of view as the director of the ferries, I want to express my appreciation for the professionalism the captain and her crew presented yesterday afternoon," he said.
Thomas said the ferry captain anticipated the wave coming and did what he could to lessen the impact.
"They minimized the action as best they could, essentially followed our protocol, and I'm glad there were no major injuries," Thomas said.

Our research deals with synthesis
and optical properties of nanoparticles and nanocomposites.
Specifically, we are currently pursuing two major directions:
1) Shape- and size-selective synthesis of nanoscale building blocks
NBBs)) with controlled size, shape, surface, and physical properties and on the applications of these NBBs. The main emphasis of this research for the last several years was to develop and describe reliable synthetic protocols to size- and shape- select colloidal NBBs that can be readily used for functional application by other scientists and the industry.
2) Metallodielectric composites based on monodisperse particles
Core-shell particles composed of gold, silver, silica and polymers are prepared with tailored size and morphology and ordered into nanocomposites with unique properties to be explored for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy and other optical applications.

Rated 2.3 out of 5 by 3 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by peppermintz online only--not available at store Luckily, these curtains look fine--available only online and you cannot return at the store-must be mailed back. I originally bought just one set using the 49% off coupon for Superbowl Sunday--after putting the curtains up, I realized they would look better if there was a pair for each window, instead of using just one for each window. So I purchased another set using a $10 off coupon and they really look nice--I did not need to iron the curtains, the wrinkles came out just by hanging on the curtain rod. March 15, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by ecpmama2be Not impressed I bought these white curtains for my son's nursery. They did not block out the light as advertised and had a slight yellow tone to the fabric. I was so disappointed! I sent them back immediately. January 10, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by cspd82 Not as Advertised This product says it is 2 panels at 80x84 inches. For the normal human, you would think this means two curtains each measuring 80x84. You would be wrong. I ordered 2 sets of these and both times the curtains arrived and each panel was less then 38 inches wide. Meaning both panels each time did not equal 80inches together, much less just one panel. I believe there should be better indication that 2 panels together equal the width, not each panel individually. There is no clarification. September 12, 2013

Darwin and evolution in Florida
One of the places we visited when we were in Florida last month was the Southwest Florida Museum of History in Fort Myers. A piece of advertisement I had picked up at the hotel lobby announced that the museum had an ongoing exhibit, Darwin & Dinosaurs. I had never heard of the said museum. So, while we were on our way I had some trepidations. Could this be a creationist showcase masquerading as a scientific exhibit? After all, deception is the only thing creationism is good at.
My suspicions were unfounded. Darwin & Dinosaurs was as scientifically sound, educational and interesting as a museum exhibit could get. The entire exhibit filled one long room. That it was relatively small was a plus; the display cases were tightly packed with artifacts and there was no room left for boredom.
Justifiably, Darwin was the main attraction, while the dinosaurs took the stage near the end. Darwin's life and work were well presented and included sections on the correspondence he carried out with the U.S. scientists, his voyage on the Beagle and even some of his personal items. One of the latter that attracted my attention was the seal Darwin supposed to have used on his letters.
The main dinosaur fossil cast belonged to the only known Baryonyx specimen.
In addition, there was a panel about the fossil Tiktaalik, which was a transitional species between fully aquatic and fully terrestrial vertebrates.
I congratulate the Southwest Florida Museum of History for their fine exhibit standing refreshingly in the path of the never ending creationist attempts to take over the public schools in Florida and elsewhere.

The things we are taught to believe in,
When growing up as a child.
If you stop and analyze these things,
No wonder society is wild.
Sand Man, Tooth Fairy, Santa, and many more,
While this may be cute with little ones.
As they grow up,
Their trust in you is done.
Now you try to tell them about Jesus,
And you can not make them understand.
Why don't they believe you now?
When you try to talk about God's salvation plan.
The fairy tales were all in fun,
When you were telling them.
Now they have to doubt your word,
And now they may doubt Him.

How do I make a donation to the IDF Life for a Child Programme?
There are several ways to donate to Life for a Child. Please visit the donations page for more information.
Is my donation tax-deductible?
Donations to Life for a Child are currently tax-deductible in the following countries: Australia, the Netherlands, United Kingdom and USA. Please visit the tax deductibility page for more information.
Where does my money go?
Donations to Life for a Child are used to provide:
- Insulin
- Blood glucose self-monitoring equipment (meters/test strips/lancets)
- Hba1c point of care testing
- Diabetes education materials
- Training and technical support for health professionals
Other support and programme development and management are also covered. Less than 5% of funds are used for administration.
Financial trails and health outcomes are carefully monitored by the Programme management team. Along with detailed and regular financial information, centres also send an annual list of the children who are supported, along with full medical details on each child (de-identified). Site visits of centres by international experts are conducted as needed.
What feedback do I receive?
As a sponsor you will receive a biannual newsletter, keeping you up-to-date with the progress of the Programme around the world. A receipt for your donation will either be sent within two weeks (one-off donations) or at the end of the Australian financial year (recurring donations).
Can I sponsor an individual child?
It is not possible for donors to directly support an individual child in the IDF Life for a Child Programme:
- There are serious ethical issues with expressly linking sponsors and children with chronic disease in potentially vulnerable situations.
- The time and resources required to gather feedback on individual children for individual donors would be extremely high as often families live in rural or hard to reach areas. Life for a Child seeks to improve clinical care standards for all young people with diabetes, as well as encouraging best use of limited resources.
- The cost of support for one child varies substantially from country to country due to variability of government support and other factors including cost of supplies and distance to nearest health service.
Can my association or company help?
The IDF Life for a Child Programme is happy to receive expressions of interest from diabetes associations, companies or other organisations. Enquiries can be directed to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Diabetes Associations in developed countries have been successful in advocating and raising funds on behalf of Life for a Child since it began, sometimes simply by encouraging their members to become sponsors. The Australian, Dutch, and Luxembourg Diabetes Associations help on a regular basis, and support has been received from several other associations around the world.
Companies, organisations, and the diabetes community have assisted the Programme in numerous ways, including employee matched giving/gifts programs, and fundraising activities such as the "Spare a Rose Save a Child" campaign or a "Run for Diabetes"
How can I raise money for Life for a Child?
Life for a Child welcomes any fundraising efforts individuals or groups would like to undertake to raise money for the Programme. How you choose to raise money is limited only by your imagination – visit our Fundraising page for ideas as well as posters and promotional flyers to download. The Australian Diabetes Council, a key partner in the programme, has an excellent Fundraising manual freely available.
Can I use the Life for a Child logo when fundraising?
The Life for a Child logo may be used for fundraising purposes on request. Please contact email@example.com to request permission and access the logo.
How can I volunteer for Life for a Child?
Given the health-related nature of the Programme, it is generally only possible for us to send experienced health professionals on site visits, and, even then, only in certain contexts. These visits are often self-funded and the participant speaks the language(s) of the country they are visiting, in addition to English. This enables them to connect with the local staff and patients, review the effects of the programme, as well as deliver lectures and training if requested.
Life for a Child has also established successful mentoring relationships between developed/developing country centres, and are looking to establish more of these.
My centre has excellent diabetes education materials for young people – would these be useful to Life for a Child?
Life for a Child is always interested in quality education materials for children, families and health professionals. The Programme has a dedicated online section covering multiple world languages. Any suggestions or enquiries can be directed to Angie Middlehurst, LFAC Education Manager. Authors and organisations providing donated materials will be acknowledged and credited.
Have we answered your question? If not, send us your question by e-mail.
I would like to run a diabetes awareness campaign – can I use your materials?
Any material available on our website can be freely used. Permission requests are only required if reproduction or translation is involved. If you are interested in reproducing or translating any Life for a Child materials please contact email@example.com. When using existing materials, please correctly acknowledge any material that organisations have generously shared with Life for a Child.
If you have a question that hasn't been answered above, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com.

I was at a Rachel Ray taping in April 2008 and that book was one of the giveaways to the audience. I gave it to my cousin and his new bride.
So… a book I recommend for newlyweds? Definitely this one. I've got two weddings coming up… Maybe I'll win and have another great wedding gift!

The recent Supreme Court decision about the fundamentalists picketing a soldiers' funeral presents a stumper. The 8-1 decision was in favor of the picketers; Alito dissented. It makes one ponder how to reconcile justice and law, I think.

Made me raise my eyebrows, too. But I think the Court said it was the right of the protesters to protest. I question not their right, but HOW they exercise it. It's very tasteless to parade around a funeral service in full view of everyone, not considering the survivors and their grief. Let them find ground to picket totally away from it.
Having the right to do something is one thing; there is also the maturity to know how to use it. In this case, because the group is Christian based, they need to be even more thoughtful, since their actions belie their stated beliefs of treating people as they wish to be treated. They are showing no compassion whatsoever for those who are left behind; and someday they, too, may become a victim of circumstances. One never knows.
The answer to the often-quoted question of
What would Jesus do
makes me think He would not picket a funeral to make a point.

Unfortunately, it was no surprise to me. They have every legal right to spew their hatred. Just as those bigots protesting desegregation in the South had every legal right to scream racial epithets at the children entering the schools. Morally, both groups are bankrupt, but there are no laws criminalizing stupidity.
They came here to MA to protest a school putting on the play, The Laramie Project, the story of Mathew Shepard. Thousands of supporters of the kids came out in a counter-protest and basically made them look very small and foolish. In other places, people show up dressed as angels at funerals, wearing tall wings that block these idiots from the mourners' view. This is the best way to shut them up.
The "church" was founded and is still run by Fred Phelps, and is made up mostly of members of his own family. He looks to be in his 80's and will die soon and get his "reward." The church will eventually die too. Until then, the 1st amendment means we have to put up with this nonsense.

While I cannot stand Phelps and his family; cannot understand people being so cruel, the SC did reach the correct decision imo. The 1st Amendment is designed to protect unpopular speech. There is little reason to protect popular speech.

SCOTUS went the right way here, distasteful as Westboro Baptist may be.
The modern conception of the 1st Amendment protects the right of all to promote their views. Unfortunately, it really protects the loudest jerks (on any side of any issue) and allows their poor expression to shape the public perception and discourse of an issue.
It may be primitive, by I personally hold to the principle that:
"Your freedom of speech ends when my fist meets your face."
- have your opinions and speak them without fear, but be an asshole at your own risk

- in 30 years, a millionaire goes on a virgin atlantic flight to space. he does this to escape the boredom of his marriage. he realises early on in the flight that space is pointless if we don't deal with the mute realities of this earth, and he takes his wife to "explore" the corners of earth he'd never thought about exploring.

ZF-11337: Zend_Cache_Frontend_Class::__call shoud throw an Exception on invalid method
When the __call function is called, a call_user_func_array function is invoked, wrapped in a try/catch. But the call_user_func_array function returns a warning (not an exception) with an non-existent method name, blocking a good tracing.
I think that the line 223 (1.11.5) should be out of the try/catch and provide an exception itself in case of errors.
if (!$return = call_user_func_array(array($this->_cachedEntity, $name), $parameters))
throw new Exception ('Unable to call ' . $name . ' bla bla bla');
Regards, Sergio
We don't know what the return value of the called function/method should be. A value of FALSE can be valid, too! If you call the method without the class cache you are going in the same error. -> The class cache is only for caching method results and not for adding features or changing functionalities.
What I meant is a bit different. The problem is to find a wrong call. An example could be the clearest explanation.
I have a class, successfully cached. After a while, I delete a method or change its name. Or maybe some coder mistyped the method name. How to find that wrong call? (Ok, there are many solutions).
When a wrong chunk of code calls the cached class, I have an error message generated by 'call_user_function' in Zend_Cache_Frontend_Class, but this way I'm not able to find where the wrong calling code is.
$obj = new cachedClass();
Warning: call_user_func_array() expects parameter 1 to be a valid callback, class 'cachedClass'
does not have a method 'deletedOrMistypedMethod' in
/path/to/lib/ZendFramework-1.11.6/library/Zend/Cache/Frontend/Class.php on line 223
This is not so helpful.
If I skip caching, this kind of error is a fatal error with a file/number reference:
$obj = new NONcachedClass();
Fatal error: Call to undefined method NONcachedClass::deletedOrMistypedMethod() in
/path/to/file/containing/the/wrong/code.php on line nn
This is why I thought to an exception.
Best regards, Sergio
I'll add an is_callable check and throw an exception like Zend_Cache_Frontend_Function
IMO, it would be an improvement. Sergio

Sunday, Fletcher sat at Salt Lake International Airport preparing for his flight to Norway and running thoughts through his mind of that day in Holmenkollen and the chaotic season ahead. "I'm excited to get the season under way. Truthfully I have been ready mentally since October," said Fletcher. "Once the hard work is done and the body starts to feel better, it's hard to wait for the season to start. That being said, the wait is not a bad thing as it allows you to put the fine touches on and take a deep breath before the chaos begins."
Fletcher is no stranger to challenges. As a three year old in Steamboat Springs, he was diagnosed with cancer and nearly died, undergoing chemo for seven years. His doctors said no skiing, but mom saw it made him happy, so she encouraged him. The rest is history.
"I still get jitters when I look back at the last event in Oslo at Holmenkollen," he said. "Winning such a historic event certainly makes me smile.
Fletcher, who missed the Olympic Team in 2010, had been making steady progress following in the ski strides of his Olympic-medalist teammates. But in 2012 he rocketed to the top, becoming top-10 competitive in the latter half of the season leading up to his historic win at Holmenkollen.
"Coming off a win like that and entering into a new year, I have been asked a lot how I am preparing for this season," he added. "The truth is, I look at it as the first step in a very long staircase. In certain ways it takes the pressure off because I know if I never win again, I can be happy that I at least got one under my belt. However, I want more, and this summer I continued to work hard and didn't rest on my laurels."
The 1994 Olympics in Lillehammer marked the start of the modern era of U.S. nordic combined. Steamboat Springs teen Todd Lodwick made his debut there, leading the USA in 13th. Since then, in a steady progression, the U.S. Nordic Combined Ski Team has moved into the global spotlight with Olympic medalists Billy Demong, Johnny Spillane and Lodwick still competing. Fletcher is leading the next generation.
"This is a venue every nordic combined athlete knows well," said Fletcher. "It's a tame and relatively mild venue to start the winter. That means each athlete will be coming into the first comp with some confidence, instead of uncertainty. The only job of Team USA this weekend will be to come in with equal confidence and match the intensity. If we can do that we will remain as players throughout the rest of the season.
While the media will talk a lot this weekend about Fletcher's end-of-season win, his focus will be squarely on the present.
"While it's certainly exciting to be the last person to win a winter World Cup, I will not be focused on that," said Fletcher. "To me that was last year and this season is a new one. I have to be focused on that!"
One of the most experienced communications professionals in skiing, Tom Kelly is a veteran of eight Olympics and serves as vice president, communications for the Park City-based U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association. A Wisconsin native, he and his wife Carole Duh have lived in Park City since 1988 when he's not traveling the world with the Team.

The two smiling women are pictured with their arms around each other. Both are wearing t-shirts, each bearing a single word. Sounds like a pretty innocuous picture, doesn't it? Add to the image that one of the women's shirts says "bipolar," and you have a photograph that causes strong reactions, different reactions, in members of our community.
This "talk therapy" approach is similar to the one advocated by another celebrity-run cause, No Kidding, Me Too. Started by actor Joey Pantoliano, who lives with depression, the organization seeks to address the isolation that can be caused by "the scarlet letter of mental illness." Dedicated celebrities, especially those who are either living with a condition or have a family member who is affected can be powerful voices for change—who doesn't remember the contribution that actor Michael J. Fox made to his cause when he chose to come forward as someone living with Parkinson's Disease?
The key here is in the choice: Fox chose to publicly disclose his condition, just as Glenn Close's sister chose to don a t-shirt reading "bipolar" and appear in photographs and a public service announcement. Nobody wants to be objectified or forced to "wear" a label that someone else has devised for them. The people in the BringChange2Mind video showed up at Grand Central Station wearing condition-specific shirts because they believed by getting these words right into the middle of society they are effectively taking the "scarlet" out of those letters.
Others have felt as though they or someone they love have been captured in that photo wearing a label someone else stuck around their neck—on a visceral level it feels like stigma to them, a lack of understanding comes from without. In reality, the way you choose to react to stigma—either by disclosing or not disclosing your condition—is personal, just as personal as the experience itself.
NAMI recognizes that stigma can and does cause a lot of distress for people in our community, but we also recognize that the fight against that stigma does not have a "one size fits all" solution. We welcome your responses to all our features because no matter how many different ways there are to get there, we all share a common goal: improving the lives of individuals and families affected by mental illness.

"Your proverbial nightmare." That's what Horry County, S.C., assistant information technology (IT)/GIS director Tim Oliver calls the multiple centerline databases that served Myrtle Beach during the late 1990s and early 2000s.
The county and five cities maintained their own databases, each with entirely different information. The mismatched data made it difficult to coordinate intergovernmental emergency response and cleanup efforts during hurricanes and other catastrophes.
"Not one of these agreed with another," says Oliver. "Something had to change."
Change came in 2004 as part of a new GIS division. The first order of business: create a single, integrated system.
Meanwhile, Horry County's public safety director Paul Whitten called attention to a need for intergovernmental public safety services. This required highly accurate data, hefty computing power, and a high-speed, fiber-optic communications network.
With the support of county council members, the county's IT manager, Sheila Butler, teamed with Oliver and Whitten to create an information management system that crosses departments and jurisdictions. It was deployed in three phases:
The county contracted to have the fiber-optic infrastructure installed; the $7.5 million project was funded through a host-tipping fee at the county-owned landfill. But one of the most crucial undertakings was to design and configure a data repository and server network. The solution was to go GIS-centric.
A GIS-centric database or software product is centered on a geodatabase rather than merely connected to it, providing a standardized reporting environment for users throughout an enterprise. The county chose Environmental Systems Research Institute's (ESRI) ARCGIS and ArcSDE software. WIth this, public entities within the county can access a single data source for countywide datasets such as streets, parcels, site address points, buildings, hydrology, and imagery. Jurisdiction-specific datasets of common interest—such as zoning, land use, valuation, and permitting—are maintained in common datasets but edited by the responsible jurisdiction via the shared network.
"This means no more data residing in individual, inaccessible 'silos,'" says Oliver.
After completing the enterprise database and geodatabase design, county and city data updates began in earnest. North Myrtle Beach was the first city to join, providing updated data to the county and accessing the shared network for assessment, licensing, and taxation information.
The five cities' street centerline databases were merged into one and updated in 2004 and 2005. In 2006, engineering consultant Woolpert Inc. built the asset and work-order system using Azteca System Inc.'s Cityworks software. Interactive Web viewing tools were built based on ESRI ArcGIS, ArcIMS, and ArcServer software. IT staff are in the process of deploying Cityworks to all county departments.
Today, the shared database is used to generate work orders plus track traffic accidents and work vehicles via automatic locator technology. Motorola software is used for E911: Authorized users can remotely access data tied to an address while en route to a call. Plus, crew members use PDAs in the field to input damage assessments in the wake of natural disasters.

ZF-8275: baseUrl view helper example error, base html tag works just with an absolute url
baseUrl view helper example error, base html tag works just with an absolute url and the baseUrl helper cuts the domain part, here's the example: http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/… and the tag reference http://www.w3schools.com/TAGS/tag_base.asp
Can you please provide me with: * What is being produced by the baseUrl() view helper * What you actually want it to produce * Indicate how you would call it to achieve these results.
This is my url: http://192.168.2.3/MyProject/public so when I print the baseUrl return I got this: /MyProject/public so, the base tag needs the entire url (with the domain part http://192.168.2.3/MyProject/public) maybe you can add an extra argument to get the domain part too.
There are some difficulties with honoring this request. * Clearly the scheme needs to be returned as well, but what if the current page is under SSL, and the page you want to link to doesn't require SSL? * Should the port be included? This looks like up to three additional arguments, all of them optional, which would make for a cumbersome API.
My thought is that it would be best to have a separate helper for generating the scheme + host + port portion of the URL, and using it in conjunction to the baseUrl() view helper:
echo $this->hostName() . $this->baseUrl();
If you would like to see this feature, please create a proposal for it to ensure we capture all the requirements.
hum, you'r right too many arguments and it suck, I like the idea of a new helper maybe I'll sign the CLA ;), thanks.
What about the serverUrl view helper? This is exactly what it does.

No. 8 Ohio State Rallies Past Women's Hockey Team 4-2
PRINCETON (11/23/12) - Eighth-ranked Ohio State rallied from a 2-0 deficit with a four-goal third period to defeat the Princeton women's hockey team 4-2 on Friday night at Hobey Baker Rink. Princeton took a 2-0 lead in the game on power-play goals from Brianna Leahy and Ali Pankowski but couldn't withstand the Buckeye onslaught, which broke through in the third period.
Ohio State fired 51 shots on the Princeton goal in the win, but it wasn't until its 36th shot that the Buckeyes cracked Tigers goalie Kimberly Newell, who made a career-high 47 saves in the loss, including 23 in the second period.
Ohio State's first goal came on a rebound on the power play at 2:34 of the third period and began a span in which the Buckeyes scored three goals in a seven-minute stretch. Julia McKinnon scored on the power play to put Ohio State on the scoreboard and Danielle Gagne drew her team even at 5:10 capping an end-to-end rush from Ally Tarr. The two hooked up again on Ohio State's third goal as Gagne scored on the rebound of a Tarr shot.
Princeton took a 1-0 lead at 13:03 of the first period on Leahy's second goal of the season. The power-play tally came as Leahy shot from the top of the right circle and had her shot deflect in off a Buckeye skate in front of the net. Pankowski then gave Princeton a 2-0 lead in the first minute of the second period when her point blast on the power play was redirected off a Buckeye stick at the top of the circle. Olivia Mucha and Rose Alleva assisted on Leahy's goal, while Alex Kinney and Corey Stearns had assists on the Pankowski marker.
Ohio State's Kayla Sullivan added an empty netter in the game's final minute.
Princeton was outshot 51-21 in the loss. Chelsea Knapp made 19 saves for the win. Ohio State improved to 11-4-0 overall, while the Tigers fell to 3-6-2. The teams complete their series on Saturday at 4 p.m.

|Women's golf signs three
The University of Idaho women's golf team signed three players for the 2011-12 season to add depth to a promising young team, coach Lisa Johnson announced Thursday.
Joining the Vandals are freshmen Leilanie Kim (Pacific Academy, Surrey, B.C.), Kaitlyn Oster (Liberty High School, Hillsboro, Ore.) and Mary Sweeney (Woodbury High School, Woodbury, Minn.).
"We look for Leilanie, Mary and Kaitlyn to make an immediate impact next year," coach Lisa Johnson said. "They will add depth and help foster even more friendly competition on our young team. We believe that all three will be outstanding college players."
Leilanie Kim
Kim already has established herself as a top junior golfer as a member of the 2010 Canadian National Team. She currently is ranked 57th among the class of 2011 by Golfweek and is 118th overall.
Among her accomplishments are winning the FCWT TPC Las Vegas Challenge in 2009; runner-up finishes at the 2010 FCWT National Championship and the AJGA Junior at Wenatchee; fourth in the 2010 British Columbia Junior Girls' Order of Merit, and sixth at the 2010 Royale Cup Canadian Junior Girls Championship with rounds of 71-75-75-69 for a six-over 290. She was her team's MVP in 2009-10 and earned Student of the Month honors in October 2010.
"Leilanie has accomplished a great deal in the short time she has been competing in national events," said Johnson, noting her earning a spot on the Canadian National Team. "Her strengths include accuracy off the tee, excellent distance control with her irons, short game creativity and mental toughness.
"Leilanie manages her game well from tee to green and has demonstrated that she can shoot low numbers in big events. We look for Leilanie to continue to improve all aspects of her game and be a consistent player for us next year."

This week, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum was honored to host an international discussion when BBC World Service's World Have Your Say broadcast live from the Museum's Alan Freed Studio. The program brought together a diverse panel of guests, including Rock and Roll Hall of Fame President and CEO Terry Stewart and Rock Hall Vice President of Education and Public Programs Lauren Onkey, who traded insights with remote guests English singer-songwriter Billy Bragg, Egyptian rapper and poet Mohamed El Deeb, Yoko Ono and more. Host Ros Atkins posed the question that fueled the program's discussion: Has protest music disappeared?
"We had a spirited discussion about whether music can bring about social change," says Onkey. "It's a difficult thing to measure. The easy thing to do is to pull out a topical song, like an anti-war or anti-apartheid song, and measure it against whether or not something changed about that specific issue. But I think that change is harder to measure, and much broader and sometimes more subtle than that.
"Songs can educate us about an issue or a point of view from the past – The Specials' "Ghost Town," Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young's "Ohio," Grandmaster Flash's "The Message" – that can affect how we see the present," adds Onkey. "Songs can elicit an emotional reaction, or a sense of community between people, that can manifest in action, or a change in consciousness. These are the issues that we talk about in classes like "Fight The Power" and "Ball of Confusion," in our award-winning K-12 programming. We use the music as a lens on the past, and those voices continue to resonate."
Listeners from Akron to Zambia referenced a number of artists whose voices inspired change – and continue to inspire change – such as Anti Flag, Buffalo Springfield, Joan Baez, The Clash, Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, Marvin Gaye, Green Day, Woody Guthrie, John Lennon, Bob Marley, Rage Against the Machine, Sex Pistols and more. Deeb joined live from Cairo, reflecting on the role of music in the Arab Spring, allowing people to express themselves – a revolution in itself. "All the rappers that came out of Libya were criticizing Gaddafi. The first person from the Arab Spring was El General, who actually came out with a song talking about the Tunisian situation and criticizing [Tunisian President] Ben Ali, and he actually got in jail because of that," said Deeb, who cites Talib Kweli among his inspirations. "It's very interesting to see that all the countries [where] revolutions happened, hip-hop was one of the languages there."
As the program drew to a close, a 23-year-old woman in Baghdad recommended that Atkins play Sam Cooke's 1964 track "A Change is Gonna Come" as an example of protest music. The woman's request was a compelling indication of the timelessness of certain songs, the cross-cultural appeal of music and how songs continue to be reinterpreted by generations and defy geographical boundaries. "With the BBC in the house and broadcating around the world, we were able to underscore – in real time – the impact of the music that we call rock and roll," says Stewart. "Calls from all corners of the globe validated the role that music plays in inspiring and shaping the events and culture that change our lives."
Yoko Ono, who with husband John Lennon helped shaped the social and political agendas of the Sixties, also spoke to music's continued potency. "Music is still the most powerful vibration we have for communication," she shared via email. "It sometimes works quietly so not to get blocked. Sometimes it makes itself loud, so even the people who are now not wanting to hear the message, can't help hearing it. Yes – music works."

PEORIA, Ill. -- Bradley Athletics is once again a leader in the Graduation Success Rate (GSR) of its student-athletes, according to the NCAA's annual release of GSR data Tuesday. Bradley University student-athletes graduated at a 92 percent rate, compared to 82 percent for all student-athletes across the country who began college in 2004.
Bradley's most-recent GSR ranks second in the Missouri Valley Conference and is third among the NCAA Division I institutions in the state of Illinois behind only Northwestern (96) and DePaul (93).
"The NCAA's announcement reaffirms our student athletes' achievements in the classroom while balancing the demands of competing at the highest levels of collegiate athletics," said Bradley Director of Athletics Dr. Michael Cross. "I commend all of them for achieving their degree and thank the coaches and academic staff who supported them as they learned from Bradley's exceptional faculty during their time on the Hilltop."
For the second consecutive year, Bradley led The Valley in GSR in eight individual sports and ranked in the top three in one other. Women's Basketball (100) was the only newcomer among the eight sports Bradley leads the MVC in, joining repeat honorees women's cross country/track (100), men's golf (100), women's golf (100), soccer (91), men's tennis (100), women's tennis (100) and volleyball (100). The softball team (94) was the lone Bradley team to boast a GSR of 90 or better and not lead The Valley.
Of the NCAA Division I schools in the Midwestern states of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota and Wisconsin, Bradley's overall GSR ranked sixth behind only Creighton, Dayton, Notre Dame, Wisconsin-Green Bay and Xavier.

This demo shows you the basics of printing a document in Windows. Learn how to access the Print command and choose which pages to print, the number of copies, and the page orientation. You'll also find out how to preview your document before printing it.
Printers are devices that print text and graphics from your computer onto paper. Let's take a look at how you print documents and the settings you can use to get the best results.
First, you should make sure that your printer is connected to your computer and turned on. Let's print a document now. You do it basically the same way in all Windows programs. The Print command is usually on the File menu. So, to print a document, you click the File menu, and then click Print.
But before we print, let's look at some of our options. If your document has several pages, you can choose exactly which pages you want to print. Say you want to print only the first five pages. Here, next to Pages, you would type 1-5. If you wanted to print just the second and the fourth pages, you would type 2,4...like this.
You can also print more than one copy at a time. Under Number of Copies, you type how many you want to print. Or you can click these small arrows to select a number.
Okay, let's go ahead and print. When your document is printing, this symbol will display here at the bottom of your screen.
Another thing you might want to do is change how your document is positioned on the paper. In most programs, you can change the positioning, which is called the orientation, by clicking Page Setup on the File menu.
You have two orientation options: Portrait and Landscape. Portrait orients the page for vertical viewing...like this. Landscape orients the page for horizontal viewing...like this. Let's go with Landscape.
Notice that you can change how wide you want the margins to be, and other settings, too. To confirm the new settings, you click OK.
This document is ready to print, but let's preview what it will look like before we print. To see a preview, you click Print Preview on the File menu. Print Preview shows exactly how the pages will print. If you like what you see, you can print from here.
Now you know the basics of printing a document.

Wrestling Looks For First Ivy League Win, Heads To New York Athletic Club
The Princeton wrestling team will compete for its third dual win of the season, as well as its first in Ivy League competition, when it heads to the New York Athletic Club Friday night for a 7 pm showdown with the Columbia Lions.
Princeton had won two straight matches prior to last Saturday, when it fell at home to both Brown and Harvard. The day did have its memorable moments, as both senior Zach Bintliff and junior Ryan Callahan went 2-0 on the day.
Bintliff shares the team lead with 18 victories now, and he can earn the biggest win of his senior season against Columbia's Steve Santos, who is ranked sixth nationally and has an impressive 18-2 record. Callahan, who moved to double-digits in the win column, will take on Columbia veteran Stephen West, who also has 18 wins on the season.
Princeton has four freshmen in the starting lineup, including Scott Gibbons, who shares the team lead in wins with Bintliff. He is scheduled to take on Columbia junior Drew Rebling, who has split his last three matches. A potential all-freshman matchup could occur at 141, where Princeton's Kevin Moylan is likely to take on Alec Mooradian. Moylan has a 12-6 record this season, and he earned a decision over Brown last weekend.
Columbia has one more ranked competitor, as Jake O'Hara is 18th in the latest InterMat rankings. O'Hara could face Princeton sophomore Brandon Rolnick, who is attempting to return to form after an injury-riddled career.
|Penn Gottfried (5-12)
|Max Rogers (5-14)
|Matt Bystol (4-8)/Robert Dyar (10-7)
|Andrew Hirai (5-14)

The aim is to facilitate students to develop in-depth understanding of the meaning of living with diabetes for an individual and their family in the context of nursing, psychology, sociology and other health related disciplines. Students will explore a number of contemporary issues in diabetes education practice and in caring for people with diabetes. The issues are placed in the context of sociological and psychological theories, health promotion principles, and best practice guidelines in diabetes education, based on contemporary national and international research. The unit acknowledges that global economic imperatives and the local and global market place influences diabetes education. Within this context, the unit explores a number of trends that impact on future diabetes practice.
This unit explores what it means to be diagnosed with diabetes; the problems of adjusting to a chronic illness and the role of family, friends and health professionals in that adjustment. The unit draws on nursing, psychological, and sociological perspectives to clarify the different problems that an individual with diabetes encounters and to formulate appropriate caring strategies. The unit addresses the psychosocial issues experienced by vulnerable groups in the community. The unit links contemporary diabetes practice to current research and provides a deep understanding of the links between practice, evidence-based practice and research.
The relationship between people with diabetes and health professionals and its impact on clinical outcomes underpins the unit, and strategies to facilitate good clinical communication, assessing health literacy, empowerment, and health promotion are provided. Students will explore a number of approaches to caring for people with diabetes and analyse their effectiveness.
The unit will cover:
- The social and psychological construction of diabetes;
- The psychosocial impact of diabetes on the individual and families will be discussed in relation to the MILES (Management, Management and Impact for Long-term Empowerment and Success) study and the DAWN (Diabetes, Attitudes, Wishes and Needs) study findings;
- Psychological issues related to depression, anxiety, emotional well-being in diabetes care; identification of life transitions and their impact on individuals' diabetes management with key aspects highlighted in relation to children, adolescents, young adults and older persons;
- The concept of empowerment and its impact on self-care at the individual, family and community level in relation to managing diabetes;
- The notion of motivational interviewing, mindfulness and health coaching as important tools to manage uncertain and ambiguous situations in diabetes management;
- Clinical communication focusing on the impact of respect for individuals, good listening skills, non-judgemental behaviours, display of empathy, demonstration of good clinical knowledge and understanding individuals' coping styles;
- The diabetes educator's role in in facilitating optimal communication with individuals with diabetes and their families;
- Social media and its impact on communication between diabetes educators and individuals with diabetes and their families;
- The diabetes educator's role in promoting higher level of health literacy in the context of managing diabetes;
- Inequalities in access to health care in the context of diabetes education with a focus on vulnerable groups in the Australian communities (Indigenous population, Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Groups (CALD), individuals with learning difficulties, the homeless, individuals with substance dependency and individuals living in isolation);
- International perspectives in diabetes management and education and their impact on the future role of diabetes educators with familiarisation documents from global diabetes organisations (International Diabetes Federation, American Diabetes Association); and
- Research methodologies and relevance of diabetes research translated into contemporary diabetes practice.

Woman accused of poisoning child, cat has first day in court
Published: Tuesday, November 13, 2012 at 3:02 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, November 13, 2012 at 6:19 p.m.
A Wilmington mother accused of poisoning her 9-year-old daughter and cat in what police call a failed murder-suicide attempt made a first appearance in New Hanover County court Tuesday afternoon.
Jeannie Lynn Marvel is charged with attempted murder and animal cruelty.
According to the New Hanover County Sheriff's Office, deputies were called to Marvel's Scratch Court home Sept. 9 after a friend found Marvel unresponsive. Marvel's 9-year-old daughter and the family cat also appeared to be poisoned or under the influence of a drug, New Hanover County Sheriff Sgt. Jerry Brewer said. The daughter and cat have since recovered. Marvel was arrested Nov. 10 on a warrant after more than two months in hospital. Police also conducted a search of her home, the results of which were not immediately available.
The 49-year-old woman appeared via closed-circuit television in District Court Tuesday before District Judge Rebecca Blackmore. She said she had no income after her stay in the hospital and asked for a court-appointed attorney. When questioned by Blackmore about whether she'd been employed prior to the incident, Marvel said she had worked at the time for a Wilmington company as an elder-care companion.
The Scratch Court home belongs to her mother, she said.
"The house where you live, who pays the bills?" Blackmoore asked.
"My sister now lives there," Marvel said.
Following court, two friends who attended the hearing but did not wish to be identified said they were upset about the allegations, calling them untrue.
Marvel remains in jail on $500,000 bail. Her next court date is Nov. 29.
If convicted of attempted murder, she could be sentenced to life without parole, Blackmoore said.

Many of his scoring opportunities in high school came from getting by his man and all the way to the rim where he rarely got challenged. He'll have more to deal with on the college and NBA levels … A little streaky. When he's going well he's deadly. But can go through slumps as he showed during the high school showcase all star games …
I would trade Ronny Turiaf to Charlotte, Utah, or Golden State for there 1st and maybe a 2nd. Then i would Draft Brandon Knight and then would our pick draft Kenneth Faried or a C.
Also to all the Kemba/Fredette people both of them arent making it out of the top 9 picks. Utah has two first rounders and they love to draft white people, and Kemba is to good to fall past the 8th pick.
