ZF-7260: Zend_Tool Features for 1.9
-PHP Config processing- ** -Should we use specific keys to do ini_set at zf.php startup time- *** -include_path- *** -error_settings, etc (downside is that we can only change runtime values)-
Zend_Tool Configuration ** Local storage will be inside $ZF_HOME *** -$ZF_HOME known as $HOME/.zf/ (unless env var says otherwise)- **** -should we support both $HOME/zf.ini and $ZF_HOME/zf.ini ?- *** -$client->getConfig()->getRealPath('profiles/default.xml') would return the full path to $ZF_HOME/profiles/default.xml if it exists or false-
-zf.php- ** -Will process the ini first as parse_ini()- *** -this will allow us to extract php settings- *** -Will be processed a second time when Zend_Tool_Client_Configuration (or _Options) has a chance to get the file and run. This will use Zend_Config and will be Zend_Config writable-
Provider changes ** any delete() actions will check to see if a force option is set in ini, if so then it will not ask if its ok to delete something ** -Provider will check the directory for profiles/default.xml- ** -Provider will support --profile-name $name, where $name is profiles/$name.xml- ** Module Provider will check directory for profiles/modules.xml before attempting to clone the application node.
Context changes ** search for known key for content on specific context actions *** create(), for example, should look for context.htaccess.create.content OR context.htaccess.create.codeGenerator **** key would be a path to a file that has either a codeGenerator script (user would have to know to use the provied $codeGenerator object, and know its type) *** other actions should always look for a codeGenerator
Setup Script ** Should only live in svn ** Its purpose: *** setup (interactively) $ZF_HOME *** copy the default.xml & module.xml profiles *** create the stock zf.ini file *** interactively get values and confirm values **** include_path **** loaders **** Zend Framework path
Zend_Tool new Loader ** There will be a new loader introduced, it will take paths and recurse them. ** Functionality will be pulled from includPathLoader, and IncludePathLoader will extend this loader. (Or a base loader will be used) ** Loader will check for config values: *** client.loader.paths[]
Added notes, bold is for alpha release
Closing issue.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 by 71 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Janelle86 Great packaging, easy assembly, LOVE this bar! My husband and I purchased this for our new home. After putting it together last night I HAD to write a review. Assembly for my husband and I took about an hour from start to finish, including unpacking it. It was packaged very well, none of the pieces were damaged, everything looked great! We were impressed from the start. The instructions are so well thought out with different tool packs for each step of the process making it so easy. It went together very smoothly with just one minor hiccup (when one of the doors closed it would rub against the top of the buffet, we just had to adjust the screws on the hinges and it's fine now). It is exactly what I expected and darker in person than the pictures as other reviewers have said. I highly recommend! December 15, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by OrangeMar Beautiful Piece This buffet table is so great in our new dining room. We originally thought to use this for a nice fish tank stand, but we do not think it can hold 450+ pounds. Instead we moved it to the dining room and it is now our pseudo bar. It has movable shelves and space to hold wine bottles. It is sturdy and a great purchase. October 26, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by LamR So lovely for the price! I ordered this online, and the delivery service was great. The box would never have fit in my car! The buffet was super-easy to put together. In fact, I did most of it myself and just needed my husband to help me turn it right-side up! It took me about an hour to do most of the assembly, and the necessary tool and all the hardware were included and clearly marked. Each piece of the buffet was also clearly marked. What a breeze to assemble! The buffet looks absolutely beautiful in our kitchen, centered under our wall-mounted television. I intend to make a hole in the back of one shelf (as others did) so I can put the cable box on the shelf. I have been looking for the right piece of furniture for months, and this one turned out to be exactly what I was looking for at an amazing price compared to other buffets I looked at. My one concern is that one door does not fit exactly perfectly and is a little hard to close. I will address that minor problem down the road after I think it through. It is truly a minor issue, because everything looks even and perfect, and I just love the way the buffet looks. September 29, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by sdyang07 LOVELY! We have been searching for months for a reasonably priced bar that looked expensive and would match our fancier-looking dining table. The brown shade of this bar was perfect and really pieces together our dining room. LOVE the X wine holder and the X's on the doors as well. Took about an hour to put together with just two people. April 28, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ceci461 Love! Love! I love my buffet! It was easy to assemble and took no time at all. The color is gorgeous and looks great with my dining table. Even my brother (who is very picky with furniture) loved it and couldn't believe the deal I got on it. January 2, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Dochawk Beautiful Piece This buffet is gorgeous and I love it. My husband and I put it together and it was relatively easy to do (the parts come numbered). I used the idea some other people mentioned about not using the wine section and instead use that area for my cookbooks. It gives the space it's in a lovely, classy feeling. November 26, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kristina Great value This buffet is really very well made and beautiful. I was looking at Pottery Barn buffets that were well over $1,000 when I thought of looking at Cost Plus. So glad I did. Under $400 is a bargain. The pieces are real wood. The directions were insanely easy. I live in a remote area so have to order a lot of things online, and putting them together is usually a challenge, but this was so well organized and explained. The only two things I don't like is the shipping was very expensive, but that's part of living where I do, so I can deal with it. It would be absolutely perfect if it came with an extra inside shelf. Only having one will eventually make for a bit of a mess with everything thrown in on two shelves. April 18, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jen1234 Perfect entertainment center Use a simple hole saw, and this makes a perfect entertainment center. I purchased 2 matching 4 shelf book cases and it looks great. Keep the tv in the center to back area, or the doors will be difficult to open. The wood was darker than it appeared in the picture, but the distressed look works well with slightly lighter woods. Easy to assemble and made well. August 18, 2012

ZF-3271: Zend_View_Helper_HeadLink - bug with appendStylesheet()
hi people,
i discussed the problem with Thomas in an issue of 1.5.1 - http://framework.zend.com/issues/browse/ZF-2889, but i think the fixed code is still a bug.
Bug #1 is in the manual. It says "$conditionalStylesheet is a boolean....". That's wrong, because $conditionalStylesheet has to be a string. A boolean doesn't make sense and in PHP twice, because of its weak and dynamic typing.
Let's have a look at the code in line 281 of HeadLink.php: if (isset($attributes['conditionalStylesheet']) && (false !== $attributes['conditionalStylesheet'])) { $link = ''; }
If $attributes['conditionalStylesheet'] is a boolean like the manual says (only TRUE is accepted, so why boolean?! And then, why do not write "if (true === $attributes['conditionalStylesheet'])" ;) ) then it won't be casted (see Bug #2) to string "true" but to string "1". Result will be: <!--[if 1]>
This is senseless and wrong. See valid values here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/…
So a string "true" will be correct instead of boolean true. A boolean false or true generates invalid output (see Bug #2). Only strings should be accepted, like in the link above.
Bug #2 is about the code in line 346 of HeadLink.php. I think the following changes will fix the bug:
CURRENT CODE: if (false !== $conditionalStylesheet){ $conditionalStylesheet = (string) $conditionalStylesheet; }
FIXED CODE if (!empty($conditionalStylesheet) && is_string($conditionalStylesheet)) { $conditionalStylesheet = (string) $conditionalStylesheet; } else { $conditionalStylesheet = null; }
Now, outputs like [if ] or [if 1] won't be possible anymore.
And following useful code in an application will be possible now:
foreach ($styleDefs as $key => $array) {
$this->headLink()->appendStylesheet($array['href'], $array['media'], $array['conditionalStylesheet']);
Maybe $styleDefs comes from a config file and 'conditionalStylesheet' is an empty string there. Before the fix the code would have produced senseless output like [if ]. Now, $conditionalStylesheet is NOT SET when the code at line 281 (see Bug #1) is executed and it's all running fine :)
Sure, in my app code i could check the arguments before giving them to appendStylesheet(), but that's not the point here. ;)
greets, David
btw: sorry for editing twice...it is 01:00 A.M. in Germany ;)
I updated my bugfix code. => FIXED CODE
Changing to comply with new IT coventions for components.
On the left side the fix and on the right the current code in HeadLink.php
Can you provide a patch file from the current SVN? The code has changed and I dont see the code that you are referencing in the HeadLink.php File.
This as been fixed with r13143

I just picked up a 1950 Panhead that has a solid state regulator on it. All the wiring from the regulator to the dash is missing. Wires are dangiling here and there. The regulator is still connected to the generator, although I don't know if this is correct or not. Does anybody recgonize this regulator? Which wires go from it to where on the ignition switch? I have never messed with one of these before.
Thanks in advance.

I ride my 50 Panhead that I've owned for over 30 years daily. If it ain't raining I'm riding.
This past July I rode her from Southern California to Sturgis and back. She ran, and runs, like a finely tuned watch, BUT... here lately I've noticed that she's wanting to idle higher than what I consider normal and adjusting the idle doesn't seem to have the desired effect.
I also have noticed a slight "whistle" that goes away as soon as I crack the throttle even the slightest. I've done the WD-40 trick by spraying a very light spray through the little red tube that comes with the WD-40 onto the intake manifold and have proven to myself that I have a very minor intake leak where the forward intake adjustment fitting meets the head.
It's NOT the O-ring(s) on the manifold tube. It's definitely where the adjuster threads into the head.
The threads aren't messed up on either the head OR the adjuster and there are NO cracks that are evident and I've looked really closely with a lot of light.
I've tried high temp silicone gasket sealer...
I've tried teflon tape...
I've tried High Tack-High Temp sealer and I still seem to have the same intake leak.
Can anyone tell me what these were originally sealed with, or what to use to get it to seal?


text: Here's a question for you guys..... I am a gunsmith and have refinished many old military stocks and new factory (Bishop - Fajen, etc.) wood ones and have used the same ideas posted here. But, here's a project I am currently working on that raises a new question for me. I am building a Romy G kit, but don't want to strip the finish as I am attempting to keep it "as issued and used". The buttstock is very nice and has cool markings as does the forearm. The forearm has a very shiny finish while all other parts are rather dull. What would be the best way to easily clean the dull finished parts well enough to hold a shiny finish? And would 1 coat of spray True-oil or perhaps polyurethane be the best way to go? Thanks

Because that's why we came to college, right? With midterms fully underway and finals lingering in the distance, there's one thing we all need to be doing, and that is studying. Where we choose to study—the atmosphere, seating arrangement, noise level, location, food or drink readily available—these aspects and so many more all matter when we choose where to settle and crack open the books. After a few years of experience, here's some upperclassmen advice about some of the best places to study.
Norlin Library
West Entrance. This part of the library is true to its name—so shhh! For those of you who need complete silence or close to it to study, this is the place for you. From the open area on the second floor to the Norlin stacks, there are plenty of quiet places for students to spend hours with their noses in books and laptops. The only bad thing is there's no food allowed—so either eat a big meal before, or be very sneaky. East Entrance. With the new addition of Norlin Commons, the east side of the library is the new hot spot to study. Complete with individual and group work spaces, plenty of computers, the writing center, a reading area, and The Laughing Goat coffee shop, Norlin Commons has stolen hearts all over campus. The downside? Popularity means packed, so you might have to hunt for a place to sit. But with over 15,000 square feet of study area, someone is bound to leave soon!
I'm not really the somber-library-study-cell type. I love coffee shops and study best in active environments, so when they redid Norlin and added that coffee shop vibe, I was in heaven! I love the atmosphere and how it is designed with little nooks for privacy, yet open and flowing. You can still have conversations without getting glared at, while continuing a focused attention. —Tiffany Ahern, junior
Main Area. For those who actually need a little distraction to focus, the UMC is also a good place for you. There are three large areas with tables, couches, chairs, and a few computers, surrounded by places to grab anything from a coffee, to a sandwich, to a smoothie. Most people can be seen with earbuds in, typing away with books and notebooks sprawled across the table. These areas are also great for study groups or working on group projects. Secret Study Spot. One of the best-kept secrets of great study spots is the fifth floor of the UMC. While some people are astonished there is a fifth floor of the UMC, the rest of us have already utilized the comfy couches, chairs, tables, and relaxing views to our advantage. It's a prime nap area, so if you're studying, make sure to keep it down. The only downside is the size of the room; it's pretty small, so you take your chances finding a place. But it's worth it.
I like the UMC because it's very student-oriented, and it's a place where I feel you can balance the social side as well as the individual side of studying. I like the window seats by the walls the best or up on the third floor. —Russell Shearer, senior
Other Places on Campus
You're not only limited to Norlin and the UMC. There are tons of places across campus that are great study spots. Business, earth sciences, engineering, law, math/physics, and music all have their own libraries with different perks. These libraries are generally smaller but don't have as much traffic.
I like studying in libraries that aren't Norlin, because Norlin can be really crowded and you never know if you're going to get a seat. I like Benson Library because there are always seats open and it's quiet. If I'm going outside of my house to study, I like to have a guaranteed seat. —Dori Bland, junior
Off-Campus Tired of studying in these places, or just need a change of scenery? Try getting off campus. Many students swear by countless coffee shops all over the hill, Pearl Street, North Boulder, and South Boulder. Before you settle down for a study session, make sure the coffee shop has the two essentials—wireless Internet and a plug nearby.
It's really nice to get off of campus sometimes and study somewhere else. I like studying at coffee shops because caffeine is close at hand at all times. —Taylor Roberts, junior
Remember, you don't have to stick to one place; switching locations can revamp your brain and give you that next wave of energy. And there's nothing wrong with using all of these places for different things. In the next few months, our priorities will quickly switch from food and sleep to favorite study spots and caffeine. These are all great places to study, but what it really comes down to is finding the place or places where you can focus and just get it done. Figuring out how and where you study best is the first step to making the grade. —Maggie Schoonmaker, Junior, School of Journalism and Mass Communication

WITH the support of the French Embassy in London, Colchester's Les Alouettes French-speaking school is booming.
Based at Straight Road Community Centre, it was started by a group of French mums who wanted their bi-lingual children to keep up their French while learning something about the country's culture.
One of those mums is Anne Claydon. She said: "Although raising children to be bi-lingual is a challenge, it is a very important aspect of life for bi-cultural families who would like their children to feel happy and comfortable with their double identity.
"We wanted to assist them, and the wider French speaking community, to teach their children spoken and written French, as well as give them some cultural knowledge."
The school, which runs every Saturday morning during term time, is aimed at French-speaking children from three to 11 years old from north Essex and south Suffolk.
And since it started in September, pupils are coming from further afield.
Karine Walklett, another mum, said: "At the moment the furthest is Harwich and Sible Hedingham, but we've had an enquiry from Brentwood.
"We started with six families and 12 children, and now have 27 families with 38 children, 41 from January. It's been a real word of mouth thing."
Anne added: "We also have to thank the French Embassy which has put us in contact with French-speaking families here. They helped us get the grant to start the school off, enabling us to buy learning and reading material as well as teaching equipment."
For information, contact Les Alouettes on 07547 728526 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com

Developed by NASA, the vehicle was produced by LTV Aerospace's Missiles and Space Division, which also provides systems management. The first US solid-propellant rocket capable of placing payloads in orbit, Scout had important roles in the space programs of NASA and the Department of Defense plus those of the United Kingdom, Italy, France, Germany and the 10-nation European Space Research Organisation (ESRO). Scout was launched in the United States from NASA's Wallops Island, Virginia, and by Air Force crews from the Western Test Range in California. A third site - the Italian San Marco sea-based platform off the east coast of Africa-made possible launches along the equator.

Fearless Champions Golf Classic To Tee Off On Sept. 14
The Fearless Champions Golf Classic will be held Sept. 14.
July 31,2012
Texas Tech Head Men's Basketball Coach Billy Gillispie and former Lady Raider head coach and Hall of Famer Marsha Sharp have teamed up to host the Fearless Champions Celebrity Golf Classic, benefitting the newly created Texas Tech Leadership Academy.
The event will be held at The Rawls Course on Friday, September 14, in advance of Texas Tech's home football game against New Mexico the following Saturday.
"The Fearless Champions Golf Classic will be an exciting and rewarding event that will raise money for the Texas Tech Leadership Academy," said Kirby Hocutt, Director of Athletics. "I would like to thank Coach Sharp and Coach Gillispie for organizing and leading an effort that will make an immediate difference with our coaches, staff and student-athletes. In line with our mission statement, this leadership academy will play an integral role as we educate, serve and grow Fearless Champions."
Proceeds from this celebrity golf classic will benefit the Texas Tech Leadership Academy which has been established to provide leadership and mental toughness training for all student-athletes, coaches and staff.
A major component of the academy has been the addition of team building consultant Mark Tribus.

He is now president of his own firm, Mark Tribus, Inc., where he is committed to building winning teams - "one leader at a time."
"The Fearless Champions Golf Classic is a unique opportunity to impact every team at Texas Tech," said Sharp. "We hope to impact the mental toughness of every athlete which in turn will hopefully lead to more success. The funds we raise will immediately allow us to provide access Mark Tribus, one of the top team builders in the country. He is amazing. We are so proud to offer this opportunity to everyone associated with Tech athletics. We hope many folks in Red Raider Nation will help us take this step."
The Fearless Champions Celebrity Golf Classic will be structured with teams of four players and one celebrity assigned to each team. A list of celebrities will be announced closer to the event.
Following the round of golf, there will be an evening social event at the West Stadium Club at Jones AT&T Stadium that will include the celebrities and a special presentation from Tribus.
The evening will feature a live and silent auction that will help raise money for the leadership academy. "It's an honor to team up with Coach Sharp under Kirby's leadership on something that is really exciting to me," said Gillispie. "I believe we are on to something special that will help each one of our teams. The Lubbock community is once again stepping up to make a special event happen. It should be a lot of fun."
Teams of four are priced at $5,000 each while individuals can sign up and be place into teams for $1,250. To RSVP a team or individual player for this tournament, contact Marsha Sharp at (806) 742-1950.

From Trash to Treasure
Feed points within the chlorine contact tank reduce chemical consumption; this photo shows the initial pass of the chlorine contact basin. Photos: City of Mankato
Mankato's water reclamation facility includes a treated-effluent transfer station, phosphorus-removal equipment, a filtration tank and chlorine contact basin, a final pump station and pipeline to supply a local electricity plant with high-quality cooling water, and a return pipeline.
Phosphorus is removed using a ballasted flocculation process. From there, effluent weir and collection flumes convey the water to filtration and disinfection.
That's James Bruender, wastewater superintendent for the city of Mankato in Minnesota, referring to his treatment plant's 2-year-old reclamation facility. Instead of discharging directly into the Minnesota River, the effluent is pumped about 2,700 yards to an electricity plant, where it cools a natural gas-fired turbine before being returned to the plant for discharge into the river.
The first of its kind in the state and one of the first nationwide, the facility earned a Project of the Year award from the Minnesota Chapter of the American Public Works Association last year. "Stakeholders with differing goals but coinciding needs pulled together to explore and implement an unusual approach that benefited everyone," Bruender says.
In this case, three stakeholders — two public and one private — joined forces. The city needed to renew its National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit, a California-based energy provider needed a reliable source of cooling water for a natural gas-powered turbine, and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency needed a solution that would satisfy pollutant-reduction goals.
A recently passed "Lower Minnesota River Dissolved Oxygen Total Maximum Daily Load" (TMDL) identifies cities along the Minnesota River as a source of phosphorus during low river flow periods, causing algal blooms and low dissolved oxygen when the algae die off. The TMDL requires that these cities, including Mankato, meet a 1 mg/l total phosphorus limit by the year 2015.
Mankato's wastewater treatment plant serves North Mankato, Eagle Lake, South Bend Township, Skyline Village, and the Lake Washington Sanitary District. In 2000, the plant expanded its maximum month treatment capacity to 11.25 mgd with the addition of new aeration basins and secondary clarifiers to increase treatment capacity and provide ammonia removal. The $22 million expansion also included a new influent pumping station and screening facilities, new grit removal facilities, a new digester, and new solids processing and dewatered cake storage facilities.
With the improvements, effluent was about 3 mg/l in total suspended solids and biochemical oxygen demand; and phosphorus discharge over the four years before the reclamation facility was built averaged 1.6 mg/l.
In anticipation of new permit limits, the city did a preliminary study of possible technologies, including biological and chemical phosphorus removal. The lowest cost option to meet the 1 mg/L phosphorus limit was an estimated $10 million to implement.
Meanwhile, Calpine Corp., an independent power producer that focuses on natural gas and geothermal electricity generation, wanted to build a "peaking plant" — i.e., one that produces electricity as demand dictates — that would initially produce 300 megawatts but could double in size. The plant would require 3.1 mgd of cooling water in the first phase and 6.2 mgd in the final build-out.
Calpine's potential cooling water sources included the Minnesota River or groundwater, but both presented permitting challenges. The bigger challenge was discharging back to the Minnesota River and meeting the zero phosphorus discharge requirements for all new discharges on the river.
Because of the year-2000 upgrade, the quality of the treatment plant's effluent was extremely good, and Calpine accepted the city's offer to use it for cooling water. But after looking into designing and building the treatment facilities its plant would need, the company decided it didn't want to be in the water business. It proposed building the reclamation facility and giving it to the city to own, operate, and maintain in return for the treated water.

I agree. what, do they think that american kids can't handle viloence or sadness? im freakin 15 and gory movies are like a bedtime story for me. Leave the blood in the shows.
Bloody, gory anime is the best kind, 'cause blood and gore looks really cool like that.
That would be cool.
I've seen Electric Soilder Porygon and The Legend of Dratini which were subbed. Those episodes were banned in the US. I also have the rest of the first season on my computer... *goes to download second season*
I also have all the episodes even the banned ones, in dvd like i said i bought them and onw thing i dont understand is why at the begiging they gave Jinx such a discriminating look, Jink should be forever banned and not Porygon...
I agree.
I liked the Tower of Terror episode. Pointing guns at childern is fun! =D
they banned the episode where james wears fake boobs
The Legend of Dratini was banned because Ash had a revolver pointed at his face several times.
That would be Beauty and the Beach. I've seen part of the English dub, but it was horribly cut and mutilated for time. I want to see that part. Coruse they never aired it, but I have the english dubthey banned the episode where james wears fake boobs
Banned episodes.... the very reason some stuff happens.
Take the Kangaskan episode. Officer Jenny pointed a gun at Ash because she thought he was poaching.
And Team Rocket has rocket launchers in a bunch of episodes and shoot them at Pokemon. What a twisted turn of events.
Too bad....
When I found out about The Tower of Terror's banning, I couldn't understand that, because I specifically remembered watching an episode where Team Rocket uses some kind of bazooka-like thingy on an enormous Dragonite.
Why didn't we hear "O noes ther shooting the pokemanz ban teh episode!!!1"
[SIZE="1"]Pairs: The Blind Eye of Deception [DSX] | The Ninjassassin [Sasuke] | The Hadouken! [The Azn Party Boy]
hahaha but the US censor system is just bonkers anyway I think they should at least sell all the uncut versions on DVD like they did with Naruto so if your parents we're reli nt bothered they'd have a choice...
or they could rate each episode and be all like "PG- this eposide contains ash having his face kicked in" hahaha i'd watch that, eventho im rather fond of him myself
the government is retarted
Yeah, I applaud Michael Bay for those crazy scenes in Transformers of flying robots crashing into buildings. It's been 6 years, it's fantasy, the only people who oughtta get offended are the ones who probably shouldn't be watching movies with explosions in the first place.
Does stuff blow up in a thermonuclear reaction in a highly pressurized lab environment?

Posted: February 5, 2013
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) — A former Keswick scoutmaster faces sex charges involving a boy who was a member of his troop.
Media outlets report that an Albemarle County grand jury indicted 49-year-old David Brian Watkins on Monday on one count of forcibly sodomizing a child younger than 13.
The alleged incident occurred in 2005. Watkins led Keswick Troop 1028 from 2002 to 2008.
Authorities say the scout is now an adult.
Watkins is being held without bond at the Albemarle-Charlottesville Regional Jail. His trial is set for April 2.

Record-Breaking Finish For Flames At 2004 Horizon League Championships
Feb. 28, 2004
Chicago, Ill.- The University of Illinois at Chicago men's and women's swimming and diving teams finished an outstanding overall showing at the 2004 Horizon League Swimming & Diving Championships, taking fourth place on both sides at the UIC Natatorium.
LeRoy Stevens broke the UIC school record in an exciting 100-yard freestyle, taking third in the event with a 45.38. Elvis Cirkovic, who broke the Horizon League record in the 100 free with a 44.48 in prelims, took the finals in 44.55.
Stevens was also part of a record-breaking 400-yard freestyle relay squad, teaming with Ari Bernstein, Blake Booher and Enric Claret to establish a new school mark of 3:01.99, beating the old record by almost two seconds.
Wright State successfully defended their men's and women's team titles while setting a new league record in the women's 400-yard freestyle (3:30.11) and posting a new pool record in the men's 400 free relay (3:01.43).
Laura Brager of UW-Green Bay set a new league record in the 200-yard backstroke, taking the event in 2:02.66.
UIC had a strong diving presence throughout, concluding the meet with Caitlin Carey's fifth-place performance in the three-meter diving finals, while Mike Horwitz, Joe Scharnak and Ryan Fitzer all placed in the men's one-meter finals.
The Flames finished the championships with 12 new school records, as the men and women each set six new marks. It was an exceptional showing for UIC at their home pool, with the men beating out UW-Milwaukee after just barely dropping to the Panthers last year.

Editorial - New emergency room in Porters Neck a needed addition
Published: Wednesday, July 17, 2013 at 10:36 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, July 17, 2013 at 10:36 p.m.
It's very difficult to see a down side in New Hanover Regional Medical Center's proposal to open a 24-hour emergency department at Porters Neck, near the Pender County line. The new facility not only would be more convenient for residents of northern New Hanover County and the Hampstead area, but it could save lives.
The Cape Fear region has grown a lot since 1967, when a voter-approved bond issue built what was then New Hanover Memorial Hospital.
The hospital itself has grown, too, from a single facility to a regional medical center that includes several other facilities that specialize in orthopedics, women's and children's health, rehabilitation, cancer and a psychiatric crisis center.
As its name implies, the hospital is a regional medical center, seeing patients from a seven-county area – and occasionally beyond. In the last fiscal year, New Hanover Regional's emergency room saw 83,430 patients, and Cape Fear Hospital's saw 37,335 – 120,765 in all. Those numbers are only expected to grow.
Many of the hospital's patients live within a few minutes' drive of the proposed freestanding emergency department. Anyone who has had to drive to the emergency room in the middle of the night – with a sick child, perhaps, or a nasty gash – would be thankful for a closer alternative that offers the same comprehensive level of care.
Emergency-room doctors would be from the same practice that staffs the emergency departments at NHRMC and Cape Fear, and the nurses and other staff members would be hospital employees. The major difference is that most traumas, such as gunshot wounds or traffic accidents, would be handled at the flagship hospital. Likewise, anyone coming in with a life-threatening condition would be transferred to NHRMC.
However, the facility will have all the equipment and medical expertise necessary to stabilize critical-care and trauma patients before they are transported.
North Carolina requires a certificate of need for new medical facilities, so the state must review the proposal. There is no question of the need.
Residents throughout the Cape Fear region need better access to emergency medical care, and this proposal would provide it.

2012 Logistics Management Technology Roundtable
May 01, 2012 - LM Editorial
As supply chain organizations evolve technologically and do a better job of collaborating with both their internal and external partners, the next challenge is integrating and interpreting the new waves of data that are now washing up on logistics and transportation managers' computer screens as a result.
With this in mind, we've gathered four leading supply chain software and technology analysts to examine the latest trends, tools, strategies, and best practices available for better capturing and utilizing the new onslaught of data on the way to realizing an improved level of visibility across your logistics operations.
Ben Pivar, senior vice president and supply chain technologies lead for Capgemini Consulting, will bring us up to speed on the role enterprise resource planning (ERP) vendors are playing in integrating disparate processes; Jerry O'Dwyer, U.S. sourcing and procurement leader for Deloitte Consulting, will help shippers better understand the concept of business analytics (BI); Michael Liard, director of RFID
for VDC Research Group, brings us to speed on a new RFID-inspired wave of data; Steve Banker, director, supply chain management at ARC Advisory Group, gives us his take on transportation management systems (TMS) evolving position in visibility; and Adrian Gonzalez, director of Logistics Viewpoints, puts social media in a logistics management and career development context.
ERP: Integrating processes and systems
Logistics Management: How would YOU define the current state of the ERP market?
Ben Pivar: The strength of the ERP market depends on how you define ERP. Looking at core transaction components of ERP, we still see a steady amount of activity; however the nature of the work has changed. There's still some greenfield implementation, but not as many as in years past. Much of the work is focused around upgrades, instance consolidation, or global expansion off an existing template. In addition to core transaction systems, we're seeing very strong demand for optimization and business information management applications. Many of the supply chain related applications fall into this categorization, and customers are investing significantly due to the strong business benefits and short payback of these projects.
LM: What trends do you see pushing ERP's growth in supply chain over the next two years?
Pivar: One of the big trends that we're seeing in the market focuses on the idea of integrating business processes and systems that were previously operating in silos. As an example, we see strong demand for taking a time-phase consensus demand plan and doing a better job of sharing this information with upstream and downstream constituent groups like product development, logistics, and customers.
This plan better allows these groups to see trends in the marketplace and plan things like labor and other logistics activities more optimally. In addition, we believe that this integration will drive a new wave of collaboration between trading partners. We call this the "shelf connected supply chain," and it allows consumer goods companies to better plan and share information with retailers.
LM: How far are we from cloud ERP? Are we there on some level at this point?
Pivar: We are seeing increasing demand for cloud-based services and managed services in general. Some of the applications that we work with are very batch process intensive, yet these batches may only run nightly or over a weekend. In supply chain, due to the data intensive nature of the problems we're solving, these applications require significant hardware investment from our clients. Cloud can provide a strong and potentially lower cost option in these situations. But while we still hear client concerns about data security, we're also seeing new private cloud options and enhanced cloud security that are making adoption more likely.
LM: What are the benefits to plugging in your ERP's logistics and transportation offerings?
Pivar: There are strong benefits to using the ERP package from an integration perspective, but there may also be drawbacks in terms of rich functionality that currently exists with best of breed. We reommend a comprehensive review of the total cost of ownership of both options that considers the increased benefits of best of breed versus the potentially higher IT costs associated with the development and maintenance of interfaces to keep best of breed solutions running. The biggest benefit is reduced technical integration costs associated with the ERP solutions.
Business Analytics: Visibility enabler
Logistics Management: The concept of "business analytics" (BI) is certainly making its way around logistics management circles. For those new to the concept, how would you define BI as it pertains to logistics and transportation management?
Jerry O'Dwyer: We define "business analytics" as the practice of using data to drive business strategy and performance. This includes a range of capabilities—from looking backward to evaluate what happened in the past, to forward-looking approaches like scenario planning and predictive modeling.
Transportation and logistics management is one of the most data-driven components of the supply chain and is also one of the largest cost components of the supply chain for most companies. Transportation managers often lack critical visibility into today's operations due to unreliable and inaccurate data, an inability to perform root cause analysis due to aggregated data, and too much time spent performing reactive, ad-hoc analyses. The right business analytics solution can help these organizations more proactively manage their business, make fact-based decisions, and successfully plan for the future.
LM: Can you give us a brief scenario of what a savvy logistics team might be able to do once they put analytics work?
O'Dwyer: We recently helped Welch's consolidate transportation data from three different sources and achieve a return on their investment within 30 days. With operations in 35 countries, Welch's processes approximately 50,000 customer orders each year and delivers 35,000 to 40,000 shipments annually to its customers with a transportation and distribution spend of more than $50 million per year.
We implemented a managed analytics solution that gave Welch's a mini data warehouse to effectively report and produce key performance indicators within a dashboard. Welch's can now view data from three disparate systems; and with easier access to business insights, the company achieved that return on their investment through higher utilization, more balanced shipments and network optimization.
LM: What are the tools/technologies that you need to harness data, put it into context, and put it to work to help you improve your logistics operations?
O'Dwyer: There are actually three foundational layers at play: First, data management and smart integration from TMS and WMS as well as freight audit and pay, industry benchmark data, or other external third sources; second, a data model that is designed for logistics users and is flexible enough to handle the complexity of the transportation network; but third, and most importantly, pre-configured analytics with metrics, KPI's dashboards, and relevant dimensions that provide the deep insight and root cause analysis capability being demanded.

Imagine this scenario: Mom and dad find they can no longer keep a roof over their family's head and must tell their children they will be homeless. Now imagine the crisis made worse when the children learn there is no shelter where they can all stay together. Dad is placed in a men's only shelter while mom and children are offered housing in a separate shelter. That scenario changes forever with this month's opening of the community's only family shelter, run by the Solutions Center (http://www.solutionsfdl.com/). The official ribbon cutting is set for April 25 at 9 a.m. at the family shelter location, 38 North Sophia Street. Making this development even more inspiring is the role a cadre of students from Moraine Park Technical College (Moraine Park, www.morainepark.edu) had in the process; those students will also be on hand for the ribbon cutting.
First, about the Solutions Center. This organization and its predecessors have been providing shelter for people in Fond du Lac for more than 40 years, with some 350 individuals sheltered annually, 150 of them children. Most come to escape domestic violence or after being evicted. The success rate of those individuals moving into permanent housing in the community is almost 90 percent. Shelter and other services including crisis counseling and legal advocacy are all provided free of charge.
Yet the Solutions Center had no shelter to offer to an intact disadvantaged family needing temporary housing while they got back on their feet. That need led them to purchase the home on Sophia Street back in December 2012. They immediately set to work refreshing and updating it.
"Fond du Lac has been without a family shelter since 2007," said Lindee Kimball, executive director at the Solutions Center. "We're keeping families together when it counts the most." The home will house one family at a time, with the average stay expected to be 30 days.
Kimball offered thanks to the staff and students from Moraine Park for making the family shelter their service learning project for the semester. "I believe this sort of project will set a tone of volunteerism for these students for the rest of their lives and they will be part of the ongoing volunteer force in our community. Plus we learned so much from them as they brought a whole spectrum of education to us."
Moraine Park, already on the leading edge of the service learning philosophy, recently formalized the effort under the direction of Brenda Schaefer, a social sciences instructor at the college who now has the added title of Services Learning Coordinator. Schaefer is passionate about this experiential approach to learning, which she's been spearheading at Moraine Park for two years now, and that passion comes through the minute you ask her about the Solutions Center partnership.
"One of our goals at Moraine Park is community partnership, and the shelter project is a perfect example of not just reading or hearing about a concept but doing," explained Schaefer. "The students chose this project after hearing a presentation by a staff member from the Solutions Center and it has opened their eyes to see that people in need are no different from all of us."
Schaefer went on to explain that students across a wide variety of classes had a hand in the shelter. "One group of culinary arts students are preparing recipes to teach families about cooking healthy meals on a budget, another group of students from our HVAC program did an energy analysis and made repairs to the shelter. We also had students in sociology, early childhood, marketing and accounting participate. The connection between the classroom and real life is amazing."
Echoing Schaefer's sentiments was Dr. Caron Daugherty, Dean of General & International Education at Moraine Park. "The competencies gained in classroom learning are validated right in front of them as they are helping families," said Daugherty. "It's the melding of the two that makes this an especially meaningful situation for everyone involved." Along with its own service learning initiative, Moraine Park is also a member of the Wisconsin Campus Compact, a coalition of college and university presidents committed to strengthening service learning partnerships between the state's post-secondary institutions and the communities they serve in key areas such as literacy, health care, hunger, homelessness, the environment and senior services. The idea behind the Wisconsin Campus Compact is to educate students not only for careers but also for their roles as active, engaged community members.
Daugherty also noted that students involved in service learning projects will be presenting case studies of their work at a special breakfast at Moraine Park on May 2. Fittingly, culinary students at the college will be preparing the breakfast as a way to celebrate the students' efforts in the community.
Other local organizations that have benefited from the services learning commitment by Moraine Park students include Boys & Girls Club, Salvation Army, St. Vincent de Paul, and Big Brothers Big Sisters.

Hong Kong Automobile Association (HKAA)

- Stakeholder type: Major Group
- Name: Hong Kong Automobile Association (HKAA)
- Submission Document: Download
Full SubmissionRoad Safety Issue to be discussed in the Rio+20 U.N. Conference on Sustainable Development An analysis of Hong Kong's traffic accident statistics for 2010 reveals 14,943 traffic accidents involved injuries and 19,124 resulted in casualties. On average, 41 traffic accidents with injuries occurred every day during the year and that about two persons were killed every week. Compared to the previous year, the number of accidents and the number of casualties increased by 4.38% and 5.44% respectively. Clearly, pedestrians consistently suffer the highest number of fatalities while private cars are the largest group involved in accidents.� Of the 22,602 vehicles involved in traffic accidents in 2010, private cars accounted for 6,255, compared with 4,053 taxis, 2,726 light goods vehicles, 2,442 public buses, 2,428 motorcycles, 2,027 bicycles and 2,671 other vehicle types. With the joint effort of various stakeholders, road traffic fatalities are declining.� In 2010, with a population of about 7 million, Hong Kong's traffic fatalities dropped to 117, the lowest on record since 1955.� Yet we should not be complacent and must continue to collaborate with the community to promote road safety. It is encouraging that the number of traffic accidents involving drink driving has continued to drop.� In 2010, a total of 214 drivers were arrested in traffic accidents involving drink driving.� This represents a significant drop of 69% when compared with 701 drivers in 2008, before random breath testing was introduced.� These promising figures evidence the effectiveness of strict traffic enforcement as well as high profile publicity and education campaigns in promoting road safety in Hong Kong. The launch of HKAA?s Chauffeur-Drive-Home Service since February 2009 has also been a helpful concrete campaign in this area. Over the years, the Hong Kong Automobile Association (HKAA), has been providing valuable commentary to help both the Road Safety Council and the Government in developing new legislation, improving road quality, devising new road safety measures and handling various other aspects related to the general protection of road users. The Association is represented in the Council, the Road Safety Research Committee, the Road Safety Campaign Committee and the Speed Limit Review Working Group with contribution of road safety expertise from time to time to the authority. The Association continues today its heritage of almost a century of promoting road safety and more efficient traffic management in Hong Kong.� It also promotes safe and legal motor sports as a member of the F�d�ration Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA, or the 'International Automobile Federation'). In conclusion, improving road safety can help to achieve environmental objectives, including action on climate change, particularly through providing a safer road system for users of non-motorised transport, such as pedestrians and cyclists, the most vulnerable road users. Providing safe facilities for non-motorised transport, and encouraging affordable and safe public transport, can reduce demand for modal shift to the car. According to the UN Environment Programme, such policies can make ?a large, lasting impact?on fuel use, congestion, air quality and CO2 emissions? It is also one of the most cost-effective actions for saving hundreds of thousands of lives'; The priorities agreed at Rio+20 will set the global agenda. It is vital that action to improve road safety and promote sustainable transport is included in the agenda and outcomes of the Rio+20 Conference. The lives and Health of millions of people is at stake.

My only remaining qualm about taxing the shit out of rich people is the argument that if we do, they'll just move somewhere else. How do you counter that?
I'm sorry but you can't cander to the whims of rich people, if they want to move to avoid taxes, there is little we can do, in either case we lose the money, either by letting them go or letting them pay lower taxes. Getting rid of citizenship is at least a little bit of a deterrent for these people, I remember in France doing it worked somewhat to prevent these kind of shenanigans when they increased their taxes.
At the end of the day to, where are they going to go? No matter where they go, eventually the people around them will increase their taxes unless they move to like a 3rd world nation, which which case taxes are the least of their worries.
not everyone will be uniformly willing to leave the country where all their business interests are, as well as where they grew up and have lived etc. there was no mass exodus in the 1950s when marginal tax rates were very high.
"I'll go," said Chagataev. "But what will I do there? Build socialism?"
"What else?" said the secretary.

If Linsly is to reach its goal of being the Ohio Valley Athletic Conference Class 3-A boys' basketball champions, every game the remainder of the season is crucial.
The Cadets (8-7) took the first step Monday night by completing a regular-season sweep of Shadyside with a gut-check, 56-47, victory on the Tigers' boards.
"This was a win that got us over .500," Linsly head coach James Wallace said. "Every game from here on out is really important for us to achieve our goal of being OVAC champions.
"Hopefully, we learned some things tonight as far as coming out and playing a little harder and with some more intensity.
"Give Shadyside credit because they forced us into some situations that we weren't used to seeing," he added. "Coach (Ed) Andes always has his team ready to play."
Linsly never trailed in the contest, which was deadlocked at 8-all before the visitors went on a 7-2 run to take a 15-10 lead after one quarter.
Jibri Blount, a 6-6 tower of strength in the middle, scored 12 of his game-high 20 points in the opening frame, including an offensive putback just ahead of the buzzer.
"We really went into Jibri against (Austin) Dorris trying to wear him out," Wallace explained of Blount's early success. "Jibri responded well. He's been playing better for us down the stretch."
The Cadets led by nine twice in the second period, but Shadyside kept plugging away and trailed 26-20 at the half.
Both teams netted 14 points in the third stanza as the visitors held a 40-34 advantage with eight minutes remaining.
Capitalizing on a couple of early Linsly turnovers, the Tigers went on a 6-2 spurt to pull to within four, 44-40, with 5:25 left as Austin Dorris knocked down a pair of free throws.
However, Linsly's Colton Coss, who had been silent all night, pumped in a three-pointer from the right wing that bumped the count to 47-40 and seemed to take the wind out of Shadyside's sails.
"He picked an interesting time to hit his first shot of the night," Wallace admitted. "It wasn't exactly how we drew it up, or how he's hit them in the past, but we'll take it."
The Tigers could never get closer than eight in the closing minutes despite having various good opportunities.
"We had a lot of good looks," Andes said. "This time around I can't fault the kids' effort. We competed tonight. We didn't do that at their place earlier this season.
"I can't complain," Andes continued. "To hold that bunch under 60 at our place, that's a good effort."
The Tigers were their worst enemy in the fourth quarter as they misfired on 13 of 17 shots from the floor and bricked six of 11 free throws.
Toddy Goodwin-Rowe backed Blount's game-high point total with 14. High-scoring Anthony Wallace was held to seven.
Dorris led a trio of double-digit scorers for the Orange with 16. Adam Stupak added a dozen and Ryan Richardson contributed 10.
Linsly led 47-36 off the glass as Blount claimed game honors with 15. Wallace had 11. Stupak grabbed nine for Shadyside. Dorris added seven.
The Cadets were guilty of 19 turnovers, five more than the Tigers.
Shadyside won the JV game.
LINSLY (56) - Seymour 2 0-0 4; Wallace 3 1-2 7; Coss 1 0-0 3; Goodwin-Rowe 5 3-4 14; Blount 9 1-3 20; Hamilton 2 2-4 6; Idowu 1 0-0 2; Johnson 0 0-0 0; Griffin 0 0-0 0; Totals: 23-53 7-13.

Coat, Service, United States Army Air Service, Gen. William Mitchell
This M1912/1917 Pattern uniform coat was worn by William "Billy" Mitchell while serving with the United States Air Service during and immediately after World War I. Mitchell went on to become the commander of all United States air combat units during World War I. He is best known for his advocacy of air power and his aerial bombing experiment that sank the German battleship "Ostfriesland" in the Chesapeake Bay on July 18, 1921.
When the Navy Airship "U.S.S. Shenandoah" crashed on September 3, 1925, while passing through a thunderstorm killing 14 members of the crew, Mitchell blamed the disaster on the incompetence of Army and Naval leadership. For these statements, Mitchell was court martialed and found guilty of insubordination. He resigned from the military on February 1, 1926.
