LIVE Miami Dolphins Q&A: Friday from 11am-1pm
Pardon me as I tell a story about my under-10 basketball team, but I promise I've got a point.
We lost our first game of the YMCA season to a team that featured an athletic 5-foot kid that sports a Mohawk. He towered over every player in our league to the point they let him do WHATEVER he wanted on the basketball court with little resistance.
Like every other team in the league the Deadly Doves (which is what we call ourselves… don't ask) were terrified of him, which explains why his team was unbeaten up until last week. Whenever his team practiced at the same time as ours it was hard to get our players to focus because they were so busy staring at him.
When they learned we played "Mohawk man's team," which is what my squad of 9-year-olds called the undefeated team, they started crapping their pants.
"There was a chorus of "we're going to lose," uttered by just about every player.
The night before the game I dreamt about Mohawk Man, and the next day I obsessed about what I'd say, and what we'd do to pull out the victory, inspiring the team that Goliath can be taken down.
To make a long story short our strategy was to force the kids to get physical with Mohawk man, rough him a little (OK, a lot), turning the tables on him. Our best players defended him all game. We doubled him (and took the technicals). We fouled him. We took charges (never been prouder of my son, the smallest player on the team, for standing there while he got steamrolled because his sacrifice convinced everyone to buy-in).
We got "Mohawk Man" to the point he no longer wanted the ball passed to him, and eventually sat out the most of the fourth quarter despite his team trailing by 8 points.
We pulled out the victory last week, and it was a great lesson for the boys because it taught them there's no giant that can't be taken down with teamwork, a collective effort, and that fear is only a mind-state that can be altered.
The Deadly Doves have dethroned the undefeated, winning our third straight game (3-2 now) by a double-digit margin, and now we're the team that's feared because everyone knows we play intimidating defense. Cross that half-court line if you dare!
The NFL's owners and the NFLPA are staring each other down playing a dangerous game of chicken today, and the NFL season hangs in the balance. The owners are the feared undefeated squad, and the union is the group of individuals which need to put together a collective effort to dethrone the giant.
What's ahead (if another negotiating extension doesn't occur) is terrifying to both sides because it takes the battle from the negotiating table and will likely put it into the court system. Forget all the peripheral stuff (18 games, rookie wage scale), these two sides are fighting over how to split more than $9 billion in revenues.
Considering the players are the ones taking the majority of the risks to make the NFL what it is they need to stand their ground against these billions crying poverty, yet unwilling to open up their books.
The battle will be scary, and it's going to be physical, but I believe the end result will be worth the scars and tears, and will set the table for the negotiating battles awaiting the NBA and MLB, leagues that are also staring down a work stoppage.
Someone needs to stand in Mohawk Man's way and take that first charge, setting the tone.
Now that I've said my piece we'll get to the real business at hand. I'll be holding a LIVE Dolphins chat on the blog today (Friday) from 11 a.m. till 1 p.m.
You can ask any question you want about the NFL, the impending Lockout, free agents, the draft, the Hurricanes, quarterbacks (10 questions max), mixtapes, and the NUMEROUS lessons I've learned about sports and people as a first-time assistant coach.
I'll do my best to answer them all, but please understand that somethings I might not be able to share, or talk about for various reasons.
You know how we do it. Put an "O" at the top of the post so I know it's for me.
I'll be doing my usually Friday segment with WQAM''s Gino Torreta and Steve White at 11 a.m., and this Saturday I'll be co-hosting a WQAM show that starts live from Doral that starts and noon and will go till 3 p.m.
Until then, let's get at it!

ASU Meet Notes (Wisconsin adidas Invitational)
TEMPE-- The Arizona State University cross country team will face its biggest test of the season on Friday as they head way north to take part in the third-annual Wisconin adidas Invitational in Madison, Wis. The meet is by and large the biggest that the Sun Devil harriers have competed in this season, with 40 teams set to run in the men's 8,000-meter race and 42 in the women's 6k. In addition to the pure number of teams is the quality, with both races fielding 20 teams ranked in the top 30 of the most recent USTFCCCA Coaches Poll.
The meet will have a championship atmosphere and will give the ASU squads a good gage of where they stand heading into the Pac-12 Championships at the end of the month. The gun for the women's race is set to go off at 1 p.m. CST on Friday while the men's race will follow at 1:40. The race will be held at the Thomas Zimmer Championship Course and race coverage will be provided by Flotrack.
Previewing the Field: Men
Twenty of the top 30 teams in the nation - including the No. 23 Arizona State men - will be in action in the men's 8,000-meter race on Friday, including six of the top 10 teams in the country according to the most recent USTFCCCA Coaches Poll. Of the 40 teams in the competition, seven come out of the Pac-12 including No. 4 Stanford, No. 10 Oregon, No. 22 UCLA and the No. 23 Sun Devils. Host Wisconsin holds the No. 2 ranking in the nation and even received a first-place vote in the most recent polls.
Previewing the Field: Women
Like the men's race, the women's 6,000-meter run also features 20 of the top 30 teams in the country, including No. 1 Villanova and No. 2 Providence. The women enter the race unranked but will have a great opportunity to prove themself on the big scene with the level of competition that will be in action. Among the Pac-12 schools, No. 6 Stanford, No. 10 Cal, No. 12 Oregon, No. 14 Arizona and No. 24 Washington will also be in action.
Meet History: Wisconsin adidas Invitational
This weekend will be the first time the Arizona State teams have competed in the event, now in its third year of operation. In the past, this weekend would usually see the Sun Devil squad running at the Pre-National Invitational in Terre Haute, Ind., but the competition at that meet has shifted up to Madison this season.
Last Time Out
The ASU men won the second meet of the season at the Grand Canyon University Invitational in Goodyear, Ariz., on Saturday. Paced by Steven Schnieders second-place finish, the ASU men placed in four of the top-5 collegiate team scoring positions in a dominating finish, defeating runner-up Arizona by 38 points. The women's squad finished as the runners-up in their own race as Hailey Hanna paced the team to placing four women within the top 10 collegiate team scoring runners.
For the Record
The ASU team win at the GCU Invitational marked just the third time in school history that the program has won more than one meet in the same season, having also won the George Kyte Classic in the 2011 opener in Flagstaff, Ariz. The only other times the ASU men have accomplished the feat was in 2005 and 1993.
Grand Opening
The wait to witness some of ASU's prime recruits in action ended at the Roy Griak Invitational with several student-athletes making their collegiate debuts. Shelby Houlihan looked to live up to much of the hype, as the Iowa state prep star paced the Sun Devils en route to a 24th place overall finish among some of the top competition in the country in her first race in the Maroon and Gold. Fellow freshman Macy Bricks took home 71st and was the fourth ASU harrier across the line, scoring points in her debut as well.
Playing Host
Arizona State University will host the first-ever Pac-12 Conference Championships on Oct. 29 in Litchfield Park, Ariz., at the Wigwam Golf Resort. With the addition of the University of Colorado and the University of Utah, the conference formally known as the Pac-10 will open its championship season with the cross country championships hosted by the Sun Devils. More meet information can be found by visiting TheSunDevils.com cross country home page and clicking the banner link in the upper right-hand corner of the screen.
Statement Victory?
Redshirt junior Darius Terry opened up the 2011 campaign with a dominating performance at the George Kyte Classic in Flagstaff, nabbing the individual title for the first time in Sun Devil history at the competition. Clocking a time of 25:38.8 over the 8,000-meter course, Terry crossed the line about 17 seconds better than his closest competitor and keyed a dominating Sun Devil performance that saw the team capture their second title in George Kyte history. Also notable about the win is the fact that it was the first time since 2001 that a member of the Sun Devil men's team has won an individual title, quick the accomplishment with names like Aaron Aguayo, Kyle Alcorn and Brandon Bethke making their way through the ranks during that span. Just a couple months removed from being the first All-American at 1,500 meters during the track and field season, Terry looks like he may be ready to make the jump into the national spotlight as the season wears on.
Flying High as a Kyte
With the Sun Devil cross country team looking to start moving back towards the top after a rebuilding 2010 campaign, the future is looking bright after the results of the George Kyte Classic. The Sun Devil men's team captured their 16 overall team time behind Darius Terry's individual crown while the women's harriers nabbed a solid second-place finish without some of their top runners.
A Reforming of the Guard
The coaching structure for the 2011 season will feature a slight shift as Louie Quintana will return for his eighth season as head coach for the Arizona State cross country program and will oversee the men's team. Ryan Cole, an assistant coach to Quintana for the past three seasons, will assume the role of head coach for the ASU women's squad. Quintana will also see over the men's middle and long distance runners during the track and field season while Cole will be the assistant coach for the women's middle and long distances.
Louie Louie
Coming into his eighth season as a head coach for Arizona State cross country, Louie Quintana has put together quite the program since taking over in August 2004. During his six years leading the distance group, Quintana has worked with seven individuals that earned 10 total All-America honors in cross country, including the program's only three-time honoree Amy Hastings and Brandon Bethke who placed seventh nationally at the 2009 NCAA Championships. On the track, his athletes have been instrumental in helping the Sun Devils capture four national titles and three Pac-10 crowns. He has worked with three individuals that have collected four NCAA titles, including Kyle Alcorn, who won the indoor 3,000-meter run and the outdoor 3,000-meter steeplechase in 2008.
No Lump of Cole
Ryan Cole has built up a reputation as one of the most promising and exciting up-and-coming young coaches in the nation and being named as the head coach for the women's cross country team for the 2011 campaign is a testament to that. The first-year coach began working with the Arizona State program during the 2007-08 campaign and had served as an assistant ever since. In that time, Cole worked with the ASU women's distance teams serving under Coach Louie Quintana while also handling many of the daily administrative aspects of the Arizona State program and working with the management of home meets. Cole has been an active recruiter during his tenure, bring in a solid class of athletes for the current season, and will be a welcomed addition to the ASU coaching staff.
Welcome to the Show
The Arizona State cross country rosters feature a total of 34 student-athletes (18 men, 16 women). Of that total, there will be 16 new faces gracing the Sun Devil uniform. The women's squad features eight freshmen in Macy Bricks (Clovis, Calif.), Taylor Conway (Brookfield, Wis.), Shaina Corbin (Ashland, Ohio), Shelby Houlihan (Sioux City, Iowa), Mackenzie Maki (Wichita, Kan.), Carly Paracholski (Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada), Payton Schutte (Portland, Ore.) and Kayla Springford (Dracut, Mass.). On the men's side, another eight student-athletes will don the maroon and gold for the first time in 2011 in Garrett Baker-Slama (Phoenix, Ariz.), Andy Cannata (Redondo Beach, Calif.), Domenic D'Acquisto (Redding, Calif.), Andrew Hagler (Chandler, Ariz.), Ryan Herson (Mission Viejo, Calif.), Jesus Molina (San Juan Capistrano, Calif.), Daniel Wong (Tucson, Ariz.) and Heyden Wooff (Camarillo, Calif.).
Senior Leadership
With the large amount of new faces on both cross country teams this season, the seniors on both squads will provide some valuable experience to the youngsters. That being said, both teams are still quite young across the board and senior leadership is at a premium. On the women's side, just two student-athletes return in 2011 as seniors in Lindsay Prescott and Kauren Tarver. Prescott established herself as one of the top runners in the conference last season and Tarver has been a staple on the travel team throughout most of her career at ASU. On the men's side, Cameron Liston, Daniel Lovell and Brian Pierre represent the lone threesome of seniors. Lovell has already established himself as one of the prominent distance runners in Sun Devil history and has taken on a captain's role early in the season.
A Local Affair
One of the keys to building one of the top running programs in nation is the ability to recruit well from the areas around you. The Sun Devil men's team has taken the task seriously and will field seven Arizona natives on the 2011 roster, several of whom will be expected to play a large role on this year's team. Senior Daniel Lovell hails from Anthem, Ariz., and will be among the teams top runners this season in addition to his role as a senior on the team. Garrett Baker-Slama (Tempe, Ariz.), Matt Boughton (Phoenix, Ariz.), Cameron Liston (Chandler, Ariz.) and Daniel Wong (Tucson, Ariz.) are some others that could play a pivotal part as the season progresses.
Top Honors
Not only is the ASU cross country team looking to get things accomplished on the athletic side of things in 2011, but they have also started to put in work in the classroom as well. Four members of the Sun Devil women's squad and three men will take classes as part of Barrett, The Honors College, during the 2011-12 academic calendar. Barrett, which has been named among the top honors colleges in the nation, enrolls nearly 30 Sun Devil student-athletes in its highly selective program with almost a quarter coming from the cross country programs. The members representing the cross country team in the honors college consist of Natasa Vulic (Jr.), Catherine Loden (Jr.), Karlee Owens (So.) and Kayla Springford (Fr.) on the women's team and Garrett Baker-Slama (Fr.), Andrew Hagler (Fr.) and Nick Happe (Jr.) for the men.
In The Rankings
A strong showing at the Roy Griak Invitational two weekends ago put the men back in the rankings at No. 29 after two weeks on the outside looking in. Entering this weekend's competition the men have climbed to No. 23. The women's team remains unranked on the season and has yet to receive a vote.
2010: Season in Review – Men
Ben Engelhardt took 51st at the NCAA Championships in Terre Haute, Ind., narrowly missing All-American accolades in his final race as a Sun Devil. Engelhardt paced Arizona State program throughout the season, guiding the squad to a fifth-place finish at both the NCAA West Regional Championships and the Pac-10 Conference Championships. Engelhardt earned second-team All-Conference honors at the conference meet, placing 14th overall. The Arizona State men won the team title at the Dave Murray Invitational in Tucson early in the season and remained consistent as the year wore on as they made a push for a bid at the NCAA Championships.
2010: Season in Review – Women
A young Arizona State women's squad competed hard throughout the season, clocking strong team results in finishing second at both the George Kyte Invitational and the Dave Murray Invitational to start out the season. Lindsay Prescott paced the team throughout the year, taking home a 17th-place finish at the NCAA Pre-National Meet as well as leading the Sun Devils across the line at the Pac-10 Championships and NCAA West Regional Championships. The ASU women took home seventh at the conference championships and 13th at the regional competition.

ZF-4595: Zend_Form_Element_File blows up when not using filters
Just hooked up 1.6.2 o my existing app and file uploading seems to blow up when using Zend_Form_Element_File.
The error message is:
Notice: Undefined index: filters in /home/colinseaman/ZendFramework-1.6.2/library/Zend/File/Transfer/Adapter/Abstract.php on line 796
Fatal error: Unsupported operand types in /home/colinseaman/ZendFramework-1.6.2/library/Zend/File/Transfer/Adapter/Abstract.php on line 796
Here's my code. I'm not rendering the form using the default Zend_Form layout, instead I'm passing the elements to a view and echo'ing them out one by one. My view script is underneath.
class forms_testForm extends Zend_Form {
public function __construct() {
$uploadPath = Application::instance()->getUploadpaths('profile');
$image1 = new Zend_Form_Element_File('image1');
$image1->setLabel('Upload an image:')
->addValidator('Count', true, 1) // ensure only 1 file
->addValidator('Size', true, 102400) // limit to 100K
->addValidator('Extension', true, 'jpg,png,gif');
$submit = new Zend_Form_Element_Submit('upload');
$this->addElements(array($image1, $submit));
// View ScriptUpload a photo for your profile' <?php echo $this->form->image1 ?> <?php echo $this->form->upload ?>
This worked fine with 1.6.1. Have tested this with 1.7PR1 but same error
This has already been fixed on trunk. But due to code freeze this fix is not in the Sanity Check Packages
Fixed in both releases
Changing issues in preparation for the 1.7.0 release.

ZF-10766: Zend_Http_UserAgent incorrectly matches older "PPC Mac" user-agents running on PowerPC processors as Mobile
Zend_Http_UserAgent_Mobile matches user-agent strings containing " ppc". This pattern incorrectly matches Macintosh desktops running on PowerPC processors. A quick and easy fix will continue to match most mobile user agents containing " ppc" because they usually have a trailing semicolon, something the Mac PowerPC user-agents do not. So adding a semicolon to the " ppc" pattern to change it to " ppc;" will produce more accurate results and will correctly NOT match Macs on PowerPC processors.
A quick "googleing" of user-agents containing " ppc" shows that all mobile user-agents with " ppc" also match " ppc;" whereas all Macs on PowerPC processors do not match " ppc;"
This search was done at: http://google.com/search/…

Hi there,
I don't work with leJOS directly, but I'm using a software platform (nxtOSEK) that borrows drivers from leJOS - albeit rather antiquated ones. I've looked at the recent code of "i2c.c" and some changes have left me a little baffled. Previous versions had the function i2c_start_transaction(int port, U32 address, int internal_address, int n_internal_address_bytes, U8 *data, U32 nbytes, int write) which was later changed to i2c_start(int port, U32 address...int write). But in recent versions, the function has been modified to i2c_start(int port, U32 address, U8 *write_data, int write_len, int read_len). What happened to the internal register address?
As I understand, to access data from a typical NXT sensor, the starting address of the internal register has to be specified, followed by the number of address bytes that will indicate the required number of increments of the address. So, how does the new I2C implementation achieve this? I keep reading about queries regarding Standard Mode vs Lego Mode. Is it related to my question?

Astrojet helps out
Published: Tuesday, January 29, 2013 at 12:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, January 28, 2013 at 4:28 p.m.
Editor: While delivering "Meals on Wheels" recently in very bad weather, I accidentally backed into a ditch on the very first stop. The wheels just spun in the mud, and so I called Astrojet Towing, a local company.
Not only did the company move my call ahead of a list of other people waiting for their services, but there was no fee.
"You're out here helping other people taking them meals, there is no charge to help you finish that job," the owner and his wife explained.
That is the kind of neighborly service that makes a person proud to live in Lexington and try to help others.
My husband and I want everyone to know of this good citizen and business and give them a public "thank you" for ourselves and all the clients we were able to give hot meals that day.

Company introduces Ricoh Rapid Process Assessment (RPA) methodology
West Caldwell, NJ, October 3, 2011 - Ricoh Americas Corporation, a leading provider of digital office equipment and advanced document management solutions, is spotlighting its range of solutions to better manage healthcare information this week at the AHIMA Convention & Exhibit, a major event in Salt Lake City for health information professionals. Ricoh offers deep experience in the healthcare vertical, having provided services to over 700 U.S. hospitals in the past two decades. Better focus on document management and information infrastructure has the potential to yield significant financial benefits. In one case, the use of Ricoh Healthcare services saved the University of Louisville Hospital $1.6 million over a five year period.At AHIMA, Ricoh unveiled its Ricoh Rapid Process Assessment (RPA) business process analysis methodology as part of the Ricoh Healthcare portfolio. Ricoh RPA is designed as a first step for helping clients with disparate technologies and manual paper-based processes to jumpstart their improvement initiatives.Ricoh RPA uncovers a healthcare organization's most pressing needs in information management staffing, technology and methods, providing a current state picture and roadmap to help drive measurable improvement. Subsequent process redesign, re-engineering and enabling technologies can help eliminate silos that slow information delivery and burden clinicians and administrators. "The first step in solving a problem is defining the problem as thoroughly and objectively as possible," said Jon Elwell, Vice President, Healthcare for Ricoh U.S. "This way, the solution fits the need rather than forcing everyone to adapt to an arbitrary new process enforced by a new technology. Sound methods like Ricoh RPA fills this need for our healthcare customers."Uniquely tailored assessmentsJust one instrument in the Ricoh Healthcare toolset, Ricoh RPA includes discrete benchmarking for comparison with other hospital systems, predictive modeling, and process analytics that verify findings and identify cost-saving opportunities. Designed specifically for healthcare, Ricoh RPA uniquely tailors assessments for every department and process within a healthcare organization. It also leverages Six Sigma quality management principles. Solutions include a performance management framework with key performance indicators (KPIs) for continuous improvement. And because assessments often cover processes that cross departmental boundaries, recommendations may include consolidation of operations into shared services infrastructures that create economies of scale. Ricoh can work with organizations to prescribe customized department-specific and healthcare-enterprise-wide solutions for managed document services and enterprise document management, as well as on-site and off-site managed services, technical services and support, and customized workflow design and implementation.

Addressing via video the World Investment Forum yesterday, former United States President Bill Clinton commended the Forum on its efforts to develop policy frameworks that promote investment and develop entrepreneurship.
2011 marks a new record with at least 46 new investment arbitration cases initiated against host countries - the highest number of known treaty-based disputes ever filed in one year.
UNCTAD Global Investment Trends Monitor says prospects for 2012 remain guarded. Developing country share of outflows declined slightly in 2011
Held in conjunction with UNCTAD XIII, World Investment Forum 2012 will discuss policies needed for making investment by multinational companies and sovereign wealth funds work for sustainable development. Participating will be high-level representatives from business, government and international organizations.
A new UNCTAD publication, sequel to the 1999 Pink Series paper on fair and equitable treatment (FET), analyses the FET clause in international investment agreements (IIAs), drawing on past experiences to assist States in drafting IIA clauses that suit their specific policy objectives and help promote sustainable development.

Gardening Articles: Flowers :: Bulbs
Wildflower Tulips (page 3 of 3)
by Becky Heath
Favorite Species Tulips and Their Hybrids
Native to areas ranging from Europe to central Asia and China, the following 22 species of wild tulips are charming and widely available. All are, technically, "other species." Tulipa fosteriana, T. greigii, and T. kaufmanniana are not commercially available as wild species but are categorized as hybrids with the characteristics of wild tulips.
Bloom season isbased on typical zone-6 bloom times: "early" (March to April), "midseason" mid- to late April, and "late" (April to late May). South of zone 6, blooms come early; north of zone 6, they come later.
Recommended zones are guidelines, not absolutes. Exploit microclimates and provide good growing conditions to promote growth.
T. albertii. Midseason bloom. Height is 10 to 12 inches. Zones 6 through 8.
T. bakeri 'Lilac Wonder'. Blooms early. Height is 6 to 8 inches. Zones 5 through 9.
T. batalinii hybrids. All bloom midseason and grow 4 to 6 inches high. Best varieties are: 'Apricot Jewel'--see photo-its leaves form a lovely rosette; 'Bright Gem'--a fragrant flower of soft sulfur yellow with an orange-sherbet flush; 'Red Gem'--red petals with an apricot glow; and 'Yellow Jewel'--pale yellow flowers with a dusting of rose, and prostrate leaves. Zones 4 through 8.
T. biflora. Blooms early. Fragrant. Height is 4 inches. Each bulb produces one to five small flowers that open wide. Zones 4 through 8.
T. clusiana hybrids. Sometimes called lady tulips, these varieties bloom in midseason on 8- to 10-inch stems. Varieties are: 'Lady Jane'--alternating red petals and white petal-like sepals suggest a candy cane. It is a readily available strong grower; 'Cynthia' (similar to T. clusiana chrysantha)--red petals with chartreuse edges, a purple base, and soft green anthers; 'Tubergen's Gem'. Zones 4 through 10.
T. eichleri (also known as T. undulatifolia). This early bloomer reaches 10 to 12 inches tall and multiplies rapidly. Zones 4 through 8.
T. hageri. Midseason blooms grow atop 5- to 6-inch stems. 'Splendens' grows 8 inches tall and produces three to five coppery bronze flowers per stem. Zones 4 through 9.
T. humilis (also known as T. pulchella). Small, crocus-shaped flowers are normally pale pink with a yellow center, but some are dark purple with black or purple bases. Very early bloomer. One, but sometimes three flowers, to a stem. Height is 4 inches.
Varieties include: T. h. albocaerulea-occulata--white with a deep steel-blue base; 'Eastern Star'--magenta-rose with a bronze-green flame outside and a canary yellow base; 'Lilliput'--red with a violet base and more than one flower per stem; 'Odalisque'--rosy-red outer petals with a silvery glow, striped green at the base, and the inner petals are beet-purple with a large yellow base; 'Persian Pearl'; and 'Violacea'--pointed purplish rose petals with green-tinged lower part and a yellow basal blotch margined with blue or greenish black. Zones 4 through 9.
T. kolpakowskiana. Yellow flowers streaked with red come one to three per stem in mid- to late season on 6- to 8- inch stems. Wavy-edged leaves lie nearly flat against the ground. Zones 5 through 8.
T. linifolia. Blooms midseason on 4- to 6-inch stems. Zones 5 through 8.
T. neustruevae. Blooms early. Height is about 4 inches. Zones 4 through 8.
T. orphanidea. Sometimes called the Spartan tulip, blooms on 8- to 10-inch stems in early spring. Yellow-flowered T. orphanidea 'Flava' is long-blooming. Spreads by stolons. Zones 5 through 9.
T. polychroma. Five blooms per stem appear early in the season. Height is about 4 inches. Zones 5 through 8.
T. praestans. Up to four flowers on 12- to 16-inch stems bloom in midseason. Orange-red 'Fusilier' is shorter but offers up to five flowers per stem. 'Unicum' also has five flowers per stem, but is slightly less cold hardy. 'Zwanenburg' has slightly larger and darker flowers compared to 'Fusilier', but it may be difficult to find. Zones 4 through 9.
T. saxatilis. Also called the Candia tulip, it grows 6 to 8 inches high. In sunlight, flowers open early in the season into an elegant star shape. This species is excellent for mild-winter climates and will multiply rapidly farther south than other tulips. Spreads by fat, white stolons. Zones 5 through 10.
T. sylvestris. Also called the Florentine tulip, the sweet, musk-scented flowers come one or two per 10- to 12-inch stem in late spring. Spreads via stolons. Zones 4 through 9.
T. tarda (also known as T. dasystemon tarda). Fragrant flowers bloom early. Each 3- to 4-inch stem produces up to six flowers. The plant multiplies rapidly. Zones 4 through 8.
T. turkestanica. Up to seven petals bloom on 3- to 10-inch stems. The species is variable, however. Some have black centers, and some have red centers. Blooms early and multiplies readily. Zones 4 through 8.
T. urumiensis. Three to five flowers per stem. Blooms early to midseason. Height is 4 inches. Zones 4 through 8.
T. vvedenskyi 'Tangerine Beauty'. Petals open wide, bending backward in bright sun. Blooms mid- to late season. Height is 8 to 10 inches. Zones 5 through 8.
T. whittallii. One of my favorites and an amazing naturalizer, this tulip blooms in midseason. Height is 8 to 10 inches. Zones 4 through 8.
T. wilsoniana (also known as T. montana). Flowers open wide in full sun, and with the central yellow anthers, the effect is striking. Blooms late. Height is 4 to 6 inches. Zones 5 through 8.

I'm ready to build my Stg and think I have a pretty good handle on it, but need the tools to time and headspace the barrel.
Does anyone have a set of FAL barrel and receiver wrenches, .308 or 7.62x51 go/no go gauges and headspace gauge pins for rent or loan? I'd be willing to put down a deposit and pay all shipping costs, etc. I'd also be willing to buy a set for a good price... Can always resell them when I'm finished.
I'm in Winston-Salem, NC.

Among our core values are our recognition of the importance of community and a belief in our capacity to inspire and build better lives for the millions affected by mental illness. In our local communities, we believe greater collaboration among the mental health communities, individuals, families and community-based organizations will help promote effective, sustainable mental health care services and supports. This is turn will positively impact the communities in which we live.
While progress has been made, gaps still remain in access to mental health care. Many people who cannot get the care they need end up living on the street and are forced to "rely" on emergency rooms or state and local jails for getting treatment.
Approximately 40 percent of adults living with serious mental illness do not receive mental health care. Nearly one-half of all lifetime cases of mental illness begin by age 14; 75 percent by age 24. Early identification and intervention, unavailable for far too many, are critical to saving lives.
This is why last year NAMI, in collaboration with the National Council for Behavioral Health, Otsuka America Pharmaceutical, Inc. and Lundbeck launched Connect 4 Mental Health (C4MH), a nationwide initiative calling for communities to make treatment of serious mental illness a priority.
Community-based organizations can help turn the tide. Many evidence-based models that can help transform the mental health care system already exist in specific communities, but too often they go unrecognized.
Inspired by innovative examples honored at a C4MH Summit in 2013, NAMI is excited to announce the next phase of the initiative, the Community Innovation Awards, which will recognize additional models. The deadline for applications is Oct. 3, 2014.
Recognizing Outstanding Efforts
C4MH will award $10,000 each to four U.S.-based community programs that exhibit innovative work in any of the following areas:
- Early intervention
- Creative use of technology
- Continuity of care
- Service integration
Too often people and families find little consistency between organizations and across systems of care when seeking mental health treatment and services. Through the C4MH awards, NAMI State Organizations, NAMI Affiliates and others are able to help promote and encourage programs that are working effectively in their local communities to improve the lives of people living with mental illness and who are at-risk.
Connect 4 Mental Health seeks to drive solutions by giving awards to and raising public awareness about those programs that are "doing it right." You are encouraged to apply or recommend other mental health programs in your community to apply as well.
Stay Tuned for More
In the coming months, C4MH will also provide stories about the community-based organizations that will be mentoring award winners as well as stories from the individuals being served by them. Expect them to show pioneering, creative, and individualized programs and services. There is no "one-size-fits-all" approach to addressing mental health care locally, but we hope the stories will further promote actionable steps for communities to innovate and replicate programs and services that work.
Join the Conversation
In the meantime, I encourage you to participate in a Twitter chat, co-hosted by NAMI (@NAMICommunicate) and the National Council (@nationalcouncil), on August 14, 2014 at 2 p.m. ET. During the chat, you can hear from other communities and share your ideas about improving mental health care at a local level, as well as learn more about the awards program and how to apply. To join, follow #C4MH.

And their capabilities are growing as the way customers experience technologies change at an ever-increasing rate of speed. Here are some of the ways we helped our clients meet their business needs:
Websites, Mobile sites, Ecommerce, Blogs, Email, Java, PHP, .NET, Product Catalog Architecture, CRM Integrations, Content Management Systems (CMS), Custom Hosting, Maintenance
Google Analytics Individual Qualification (IQ), Kentico Developer Certification, Microsoft Certified Professional Developer Certification (MCPD), Project Management Professional Certification (PMP), SCRUMmaster Certification (CSM), Sitecore Developer Certification

We want to help you with optimized sites and apps that lead to conversions and brand loyalty.
Featured Work
You've heard the talk. We also walk the walk. Check out some of our latest and greatest digital programs for some of our biggest clients.
Firestone Complete Auto Care
LC provided a seamless brand experience through the design and development of the Firestone Complete Auto Care website and mobile app. LC created a visually appealing, SEO enriched desktop and mobile site, boasting exceptional user experience and supporting the client's business goals. Additionally, the My Firestone app provides real value to customers. It tracks mileage, makes maintenance recommendations, gives tips on saving gas, summons roadside assistance, remembers where you parked, and – of course – helps buy tires. The end result is consumer loyalty, as we meet their needs while continuing the relationship long after the sale, keeping Firestone top-of-mind down the road.View this project
Toppers Pizza
On the heels of two extremely successful (and extremely fun) campaigns, LC was invited to conceive, design, and develop a new Toppers Pizza site for customers and potential franchisees. The ask: Flash to HTML5 for better SEO, and a smoother user experience to increase sales. Continuing in the style of the – shall we say – "irreverent" programs we'd developed for the brand previously, the site nailed it.View this project
Lung Cancer Alliance
Ask around the office what our people's favorite campaign was, and you'll get a lot of "Lung Cancer Alliance." Not only did it feel good to help raise awareness of this deadly disease, but we're proud of the scale of original, creative, and attention-grabbing work we produced. Sometimes you have to ignite controversy in order to bring light to a cause. Through a microsite, events, media, PR, print, social, TV, and video, the "No One Deserves to Die" campaign proved that when you want to make your own news, be loud.View this project

Take a break from those ceramic pots and opt for a planter with a modern update.
Magnum by Rotoluxe
This planter has the tried-and-true shape that we're all used to, but has a certain glow. Magnum is lightweight, yet sturdy enough for tall plants and comes in nine colors. It's also made from recycled materials.

DAYTONA BEACH -- Dense fog that delayed the Rolex 24 at Daytona for more than an hour and a half Sunday morning was caused by a sharp drop in temperatures overnight and heavy moisture pushed ahead of a weak cold front, a National Weather Service official said Sunday.
Light fog had been an issue for the previous couple of nights, but the additional moisture in the air allowed more fog to roll in Sunday morning, meteorologist Randy Lascody said.
The sharp temperature inversion left the coldest temperatures at the ground and essentially a cloud formed on the ground, he said.
The fog rolled in across the area and reduced visibility to less than a half mile from Ormond Beach to DeLand.

Fortieth Day with Noise Crush (aka Lisa Slodki)
and Southbridge Slow Electronics DJs (Jake Elliott and jonCates)
13 November 2011
Empty Bottle
1035 N. Western Ave.
Chicago, IL
jonCates & I organized a show this Sunday Nov 13th at the Empty Bottle with Southbridge artist LORI Felker and and local doom audio/video punishers The Fortieth Day + Noise Crush. Jon & I will be DJing. It's $3 and starts at 7pm.
For a long time we've been wanting to organize a show featuring music in the genre of Slow Electronics, as an outgrowth of our label Southbridge & our weekly radio show Slow Electronics (on glitch.fm). LORI Felker was the first artist aside from Jon & I to release a record on our label. We draw a lot of inspiration from her as well as The Fortieth Day (aka Mark Solotroff & Isidro Reyes) + Noise Crush (aka Lisa Slodki, who's working on an upcoming release for Southbridge) so this is really exciting for us! I hope you can come out, and even if you can't I hope you'll help us out by spreading the word!
The murky improv rock duo THE FORTIETH DAY, comprised of ISIDRO REYES (BLOODYMINDED) and MARK SOLOTROFF (ANATOMY OF HABIT and BLOODYMINDED) return to close your weekend/kick off your week with an unholy rumble. Utilizing guitar, bass, drum machine and analog synthesizer to create epic, blackened, psychedelic-industrial drone soundscapes, FORTIETH DAY has been likened to "sustained, withering blasts of high-pitched noise that are as distinct from one another as spotlights sweeping across the night sky; jackhammer clatter, jet-engine whines and forlorn keyboard melodies dart in and out of those huge sounds with
the grace and impunity of plovers picking a crocodile's teeth," by the Chicago Reader. Light Makes Music, LORI FELKER's first release on Southbridge Slow Electronics, is a solo 16mm film projector-based audio/visual work cut to vinyl utilizing modified 16mm projectors and hand-processed film strips to create dense noise and dynamic soundscapes – a work that truly must be experienced live to be fully appreciated. SOUTHBRIDGE SLOW ELECTRONICS DJs offer sounds throughout the night. The focus of the label is "decoding and resisting crypto-fascist patriarchal Power Electronics. We believe in slowness in terms of processing power, data streams and feedback both analogue and digital." Get ready for some mind-expansion here tonight.

The competition opened with a duel between the Brazilian prodigy, Pedro Barros and Gagnon. Barros, a 16-year-old skater for Red Bull, gets more amplitude in vert than anyone I've seen and aired out the half-pipe like a fan. If it weren't for Gagnon's unflappable consistency and technical style, he would've fallen early to the Brazilian's flashier runs.
The second heat was essentially a wing in the future Dogtown hall of fame: Sandro Dias of the 900 club; 38-year-olds Andy McDonald and Danny Mayer; crowd-favorite Shaun White; and Godfather of the sport, Bucky Lasek. Falls killed fantastic sets by McDonald and Mayer, while smooth spins from Dias propelled him into the super finals with White and Lasek.
Stocked with the best skaters from the previous heats, the superfinals promised incredible competition. Lasek compiled some beautiful sequences but bailed on too many runs to really push beyond White's inverted antics and flawless runs by Gagnon. In the end, White couldn't keep up with PLG's 94-point session either and ended up in second place.
When the last heat ended, I'd been standing in the same spot for four hours. I came early to catch practice runs by pros that I'd controlled and unlocked in the Tony Hawk gaming series. The tricks in those games seemed cartoonish and impossible at the time, but after today's finals, I see them as prophetic. Run after run, the superfinalists unleashed a flury of tricks I could hardly take in with my eyes, let alone describe. Today will bring finals in skateboard street and BMX vert where spectators can expect more of the same.
Today is the final day of the Dew Tour's stop at the EnergySolutions Arena.
In honor of the ten-year anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, all active military service members, police officers and firefighters will receive a free grounds pass to today's event. Click here for the schedule.

Asthma is one of the most common chronic illnesses in children—accounting for more than half a million missed school days annually in Georgia. It is also the number one reason for admission to Children's Healthcare of Atlanta.
Georgia's rate of asthma cases in children is one of the highest in the nation, affecting about 9 percent of children under the age of 18. More than 200,000 children age 18 and younger in Georgia have asthma.
When asthma is not well controlled, it can result in unnecessary emergency department visits and life-threatening situations. We can help you take control of your child's asthma.
With a multidisciplinary staff and a comprehensive disease-management program, the Children's Asthma Center offers the highest quality of care and addresses childhood asthma, allergy, pulmonology and environmental health.
We treat each patient as an individual and work closely with parents and primary care providers to determine the best treatment plan. The type of treatment needed depends on the severity of the child's condition.
The pressure to ensure your child with asthma is safe and healthy can make anyone breathe uneasily.

Laid Off, Maddie McGarvey Offers Touching Homage to Small-Town Newspaper Photography
Photojournalist Maddie McGarvey has written a touching tribute to her work as a newspaper photographer at Gannett's Burlington Free Press. McGarvey was laid off yesterday, along with 200 other Gannett employees, she reports in a blog post published today, which she titled "Looking Forward."
Despite the setback, McGarvey says that several of the subjects she's met in her year on the job have changed her life and given her a sense of optimism, perseverance and community, and she shares her photos and stories of those people. She writes: "I'm hopeful for this career that so many friends and I have chosen to follow. This job, in my short time, has led me to some incredible people who have absolutely changed my life for the better."

Williams Administration Expresses Appreciation to Councilmember Hanifa Shabazz and Public Works and Transportation Committee for Considering Mayor's Smart Meter Initiative
Posted on 09/19/2013 9:41 pm
Yesterday, Mayor Dennis P. Williams thanks the Public Works and Transportation Committee for considering a Mayoral initiative to install 200 smart meters in downtown Wilmington. Ordinance 13-028 was discussed and voted out of committee for consideration by the full Council on October 3, 2013. Installation of the meters will begin on or before Monday, October 21st pending City Council approval. The installation of the smart meters will be an extension of Mayor Williams' Wilmington RISE campaign, which seeks to make Wilmington Clean, Safe and Smart.
For the past five months, Mayor Williams and his Administration worked to develop innovative methods to address parking concerns in the City of Wilmington. A Request for Proposals (RFP) was issued in May, and a panel comprised of officials from the Mayor's Office, Finance and Public Works Departments, along with Councilmember Hanifa Shabazz, reviewed the four submissions.
"It was a natural fit to include the involvement of Councilmember Hanifa Shabazz in the review process, since her district includes downtown and the Riverfront, she serves as Chair of the Public Works and Transportation Committee and has been longtime advocate for the parking concerns of residents and visitors," said Mayor Williams.
The installation of new smart meters will assist in making the City more visitor friendly as the meters will accept credit cards; potentially include Smartphone applications that alert customers when their time is expiring; allow customers to add time to their meter remotely, and are motion sensitive so when a car leaves the parking spot, the time resets to zero.
"For years, parking has been an issue for the City of Wilmington and has deterred people from visiting," said Mayor Williams. "We must bring in new technology to ensure parking is convenient for all of our residents and visitors."
The City will evaluate the effectiveness of the pilot program to determine whether meters will be installed citywide. Downtown Wilmington and the Riverfront were ideal for this pilot program due to the heavy concentration of visitors.
"I would like to Councilmember Shabazz for agreeing to sponsor for this Mayoral initiative, and I call on all members of City Council to support this legislation," said Mayor Williams.

The North Dakota Game and Fish Department is reminding deer hunters that hunting over bait is prohibited in deer units 3C west of the Missouri River, 3E1, 3E2, 3F1 and 3F2.
Hunters harvesting a big game animal this fall in North Dakota deer unit 3F2 cannot transport a carcass containing the head and spinal column outside of the unit unless it's taken directly to a meat processor.
The head can be removed from the carcass and transported outside of the unit if it is to be submitted to a State Game and Fish Department district office, CWD surveillance drop-off location or a licensed taxidermist.
Governor Jack Dalrymple has appointed Duane Hanson of West Fargo to the North Dakota Game and Fish Department's advisory board.
The governor appoints eight Game and Fish Department advisors, each representing a multi-county section of the state, to serve as a liaison between the department and public.
Hanson is a financial advisor, West Fargo city commissioner, and avid hunter and angler, and fills the expiring term of Loran Palmer, Wahpeton, in District 5, which includes Cass, Ransom, Richland, Sargent, Steele and Traill counties.

As snow geese begin to make their way into the state, hunters are advised to properly identify their target as whooping cranes could potentially be in the same areas.
Whooping cranes were observed this week north of Minot near Kenmare, and recent reports indicate most of the population is still north of the Canadian border and will soon migrate through North Dakota. With Kenmare's annual Goose Fest in progress, hunters in the vicinity of the Upper Souris and Des Lacs national wildlife refuges should be aware of the potential for whooping cranes and snow geese in the same area.
The State Game and Fish Department recently honored the Wahpeton Park Board for its ongoing efforts to develop and improve public boating and fishing facilities at numerous lakes, rivers and recreation sites in Richland County.
Each year the Department's fisheries division presents a "Certificate of Appreciation" to an organization that has a history of accomplishments as a cooperating partner in local fisheries projects. Fisheries development supervisor Bob Frohlich said the park board is a perfect example of how a willing entity can make a difference for local fisheries.
Even with thousands of hunters in the field during the opening week of the pheasant season, the State Game and Fish Department received only a few reports from hunters who found dead deer in southwestern North Dakota.
Game and Fish personnel have been monitoring the deer population in the southwest since late August, when the first reports of dead deer, attributed to epizootic hemorrhagic disease, came in from Bowman, Grant and Burleigh counties.
North Dakota's Sportsmen Against Hunger Program is again accepting donations of deer at select processors across the state. In addition, the program is also able to accept light goose breast meat (snow, blue and Ross's geese) for the first time this fall.
Canada goose meat, while accepted during the early goose season, is not eligible for donation during the regular waterfowl season.
Wet conditions over the past two weeks have delayed the fall harvest of row crops.
With most hunting seasons open, North Dakota hunters are reminded that hunting in unharvested crops is not allowed without a landowner's permission, including waterfowl hunters driving on land to set up decoys.
To maintain proper landowner-sportsmen relations, hunters are urged to stay off harvested fields in wet conditions.
Fisheries biologists who questioned how a late spring and delayed ice-off would influence fish reproduction in North Dakota waters finally have a few answers.
"It looks better than we expected," said Scott Gangl, State Game and Fish Department fisheries management section leader. "Our biologists have been seeing some pretty good numbers of young-of-the-year yellow perch in lakes statewide, signaling some good reproduction this year. This was especially true in our larger lakes that traditionally provided a perch fishery."
North Dakota Game and Fish Department fisheries personnel recently stocked seven waters with catchable trout.
Jerry Weigel, fisheries development and production section leader, said these trout will provide exciting fall and winter fishing opportunities. "Shasta strain rainbow trout average more than one pound each, with some up to five pounds," Weigel said. More than 800 were stocked in the Turtle River near Arvilla in Grand Forks County, while 115 went in the Owls Pond in Burleigh County.
North Dakota's waterfowl production areas will be open to hunting on the pheasant opener after all.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service on Friday afternoon rescinded its closure of WPAs to public access, including hunting and fishing, effective immediately.
That means the WPAs in North Dakota will be available to hunters for the state's pheasant opener on Saturday, Oct. 12.

He says landspouts occur in Arkansas on warm, very humid days in June, July and August.Also on Monday, teams surveying damage from Sunday's storms believe strong, straight-line winds knocked down trees and caused other damage. Robinson says teams estimate wind gusts reached 75 mph in Shirley and around 60 mph in Batesville.Trees fell onto homes and roofs and outbuildings were damaged in Van Buren County.No injuries were immediately reported.

Hair makes its way to Kingsbury Hall
Let your freak flag fly
Throwback Hair brings the sunshine to Utah
It's hard to believe that the rock musical Hair is still blowing minds after 45 years. Wasn't the Age of Aquarius supposed to mellow us out? From our cynical 21st century vantage point, Hair seems as quaint as Babes on Broadway. A band of young Americans are sowing peace and love in a turbulent time, their naivete captured in song, including (Age of) Aquarius, Let the Sun Shine In and the astonishingly saccharine Good Morning, Starshine. After four decades, the seemingly simple message of love and liberation remains controversial; Kingsbury Hall still felt it necessary to warn audiences of a dimly lit nude scene and that "some lyrics contain language that is sexual in nature."

New Frontier explores the bloody cutting edge of digital art
Not only is New Frontier one of the more interesting and forward-leaning events at the Sundance Film Festival, it's one of the few that runs long after the rest of the circus leaves town. At two venues—Park City and SLC—New Frontier showcases media installations and multimedia performances, along with panel discussions. In past years, viewers interacted with grizzly bears, walked through a digital mural of the history of film and joined fans around the world in creating an ever-morphing tribute to Johnny Cash. During the festival, New Frontier's exhibits can be viewed at The Yard, 1251 Kearns Blvd., Park City and at the Utah Museum of Contemporary Art, 20 S. West Temple, SLC. After the festival the show will continue at UMOCA through spring. sundance.org

Da Vinci: The Genius at The Leo
People sometimes have difficulty understanding The Leonardo museum. Is it an art gallery? A children's museum? A science exhibit? It might help to know more about the museum's namesake, Leonardo da Vinci, who caused in his Renaissance pals similar confusion. Leo was an inventor (that helicopter thing), an artist (the Mona Lisa), a civil engineer, geologist, astronomer, anatomist—the list goes on. The Leo museum is honoring Leo the man with activities and more than 200 exhibits of the Renaissance giant's groundbreaking forays into military engineering, anatomy, physics, flight and mechanics. Included is a geek-fest of life-size models of da Vinci's machines and a multimedia exploration of the girl with the smile. Genius ends Jan. 27. The Leonardo, 209 E. 500 South, SLC, theleonardo.org.
