That was my plan with these, and if they don't sell then I'll probably still do it.
Hi James,
I'd like to take these if still available ?
"If it measures good and sounds bad, it is bad. If it measures bad and sounds good, you've measured the wrong thing."
Yup, still here Jules.
bugger i'd have taken them!! I regret buying a pair for my ex sister in law all those years ago!!
These sure punch way above their weight. Had 3 pairs at one time but sold one - now running a pair in the kitchen and in the study (the joys of wirelessly distributed music !).
What were the mods that were suggested - can someone post details ?
It is about half way down page 8 of the thread.
I've got the old components in front of me. The capacitor is marked 6.2 micro Farads, 250 W.V D.C, and the inductor is 1.0 mH. So I just rang up Wilmslow Audio and told them I wanted a high quality cap and air cored inductor with those values. The original cap is pretty cheap, and some reports I read suggested you only needed to replace that. But the original inductor has a ferrite core and is also pretty cheap, and it is also mounted co-axially with the coil in the bass/midrange unit which I don't think helps much. My theory is booming bass resonance on some tracks I got before the mods is to do with the inductor rather than being an acoustic problem. The air cored inductor is too large to fit behind the loudspeaker sockets and I glued it with contact adhesive flat onto the foam at the bottom of the speaker with a short length of Chord cable to connect it to the sockets.
You need 1.5 - 2 meters of wire to rewire the speaker as the original wire is pretty cheap and nasty - maybe Wilmslow Audio or another DIY loudspeaker shop could provide that too. I used some packing foam I had lying around to line the inside, and maybe some proper acoustic foam would be better.
This is where some kind of Wigwam LX5 all comers bake-off would be great fun. We could try different mods and then bring our creations together to compare. They cost bugger all and are still easily available still on eBay I think.

The bond that sisters have is one that is like no other relationship. They have a way of knowing what one another is thinking without saying a word. This is something senior guard Kama Griffitts and her older sister Jenna would understand.
"We will say things at the same time, we both kind of know what each other are thinking," Jenna said. "We laugh so hard when things like that come up, because it's so true. We always say 'well we must be sisters.'"
Kama's basketball career started when she was in fourth grade. She played with both sisters Jenna and Lorin. She wanted to follow in their footsteps, try it out and see if she liked it. Turned out, Kama fell in love with the game and grew a stronger bond with her sisters in the process.
In addition to her two sisters, Kama grew up with two brothers. But between all four siblings, she has always had a special connection with Jenna.
"We weren't as close when we were younger because of the competition with sports," Kama said. "Ever since I have left for school, we definitely have grown stronger as sisters. We have attached more emotionally since I have been here."
Growing up, Kama and Jenna played basketball and volleyball together. They meshed well together especially on the volleyball court.
"We are always on the same page all the time," Jenna said. "On the volleyball court, we thought along the same lines, so it was really easy to play with her and be successful with her. We are competitively similar as well, so there is not much we have to worry about when we play with each other."
Jenna went on to play volleyball at the next level after earning a scholarship at Weber State. Kama had an opportunity to join her, it was a big decision but Kama decided to focus on basketball and earned a spot on the roster at Arizona because of it.
Jenna fully supported her decisions all the way.
"I was ecstatic for her, I was so excited for her." Jenna said. "The opportunity she had to play for a Pac-12 school, is an opportunity that not many people get. It is such a great blessing. I knew she would get an excellent education and have great coaching."
Not only is Jenna a supporter, but the entire family serves as a huge support system for Kama as well. Throughout her years at UA, Kama's family has come to as many games as they can to watch her. Although the family lives in Idaho, they still love making trips to Kama's games to cheer her on.
"My family is a huge support for me." Kama said. "They have been supportive throughout my whole basketball career since I was little. It helps a lot in times of adversity. You always have people to talk to and lean on."
Despite living 1,400 miles apart, Kama and Jenna try to be around each other as much as they can. The Griffitts sisters share a passion for life, especially when they are living it together.
"Jenna and I are a lot alike." Kama said. "Anytime I am around her, it's the best experience. We always make each other laugh and she is a very genuine person. I just love her."
As Kama embarks on her senior season, Jenna will be watching every move and has also offered her a bit of advice for making the most of her last year.
"Take advantage of every opportunity she has, when it comes to her academics, professors, and the great people surrounding that university." Jenna said. "Play because you love the game, and you have a great time doing it because time goes by so quickly."
The season officially kicks off as the Wildcats begin practice on Monday, Sept. 30. Regardless of what the season brings, Kama knows she will always have the support of her family and especially her sister, Jenna.

McGuire attends Elkhart Memorial (Ind.) H.S.; Whitaker hails from Bartlett
Al Biancalana, the former Interim Head Coach and top Assistant Coach at Bradley University, enters his fourth season on Head Coach Howard Moore's staff at UIC, and his third campaign as the Associate Head Coach.
Biancalana is no stranger to the bench, having spent more than 20 years as a coach throughout Illinois and California, including 17 years as a high school head coach. As a high school mentor, Biancalana's overall record was an impressive 313-171 (.647 winning percentage), including a 33-16 record in the state tournament.
Before joining Moore's staff, Biancalana served as the Head Basketball Coach at York High School in suburban Elmhurst, Ill. In five seasons at the helm, his teams posted a record of 90-51 and a winning percentage of .638, which ranks as the second highest in school history. He guided the Dukes to four-straight Illinois High School Athletic Association (IHSA) regional championship appearances, and in 2005-06, Biancalana led the school to its first West Suburban Conference Championship in 38 seasons.
Prior to his stint at York, where he also served as the school's College and Career Advisor, Biancalana worked for six seasons as the first assistant and Interim Head Coach at Bradley University from 1999-2005. It was there that he formed a relationship with Howard Moore who was on the staff from 1999-2003. Biancalana served as the program's main recruiter and was responsible for bringing in the majority of the roster from the Braves' 2006 "Sweet 16" run. The last two players from the Missouri Valley Conference to be drafted in the NBA, Danny Granger (Indiana Pacers) and Patrick O'Bryant (Golden State Warriors), were recruited by Biancalana. In the six years with Biancalana on BU's staff, 27-of-30 seniors graduated.
Biancalana has also served as a head coach at Stagg High School (1995-99) in Palos Hills, Ill., Downers Grove North High School (1993-95), Clovis High School (1989-93) in Clovis, Calif., and Washington Union High School (1987-89) in Fresno, Calif. In 1988, while at Washington Union, Biancalana was named California Coach of the Year and led his squad to a Division IV State Championship. Over a two-year stretch, Washington Union won 36-consecutive games with Biancalana at the helm.
Biancalana received his bachelor's degree in education from Elmhurst College in 1982 and a master's degree in educational administration from National University in Fresno in 1993.
Biancalana and his wife, Laura, have three children: A.J., Jack and Audrey.

Daytona sets cold record
Published: Wednesday, March 27, 2013 at 5:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, March 27, 2013 at 7:01 a.m.
Daytona Beach broke one weather record this week and might snag another.
Shortly before 3 p.m. Tuesday, the temperature in Daytona Beach rose to 61 degrees, National Weather Service meteorologist Bob Wimmer said. That broke the previous record for the lowest high temperature on March 26 of 62 set in 1969.
"Strong northwest winds are pulling cooler, drier winds into Central Florida," Wimmer said.
The city also had a chance to break a record low overnight.
He said the average high for late March is 76 degrees and the average low is 56.
Wimmer said temperatures were forecast to dip to 38 degrees Wednesday morning. The record low for March 27 was set in 2006 at 39 degrees.
Wind gusts up to 20 mph and wind chill values as low as 35 are expected Wednesday, but winds will calm down to about 5 mph by the evening, according to the Weather Service.
The Weather Service has also predicted chilly overnight temperatures for West Volusia and Flagler County.
Wind gusts up to 20 mph and a low of 37 are expected early Wednesday in the DeLand area. Wind chill values in the area are predicted to reach a low of 33.
In the Palm Coast area, the Weather Service forecast an early Wednesday low of 36 degrees with wind chill values of 28.

-Darren McFadden Auto Patch Rookie
Darren McFadden
RB Oakland Raiders
Drafted: 1st Round #4
College: Arkansas
Sports Card Radio UD Exquisite Football Coverage
Darren McFadden was an eletric running back at Arkansas. He would be moved all around the field. Wildcat, RB, WR, he would even take his turn throwing a few balls at QB.
On draft day he slipped to the Raiders because of concern for McFadden's 'off field' issues.
In his first two years in the NFL he has been dealt a tough hand. The Raiders have struggled to move the ball on offense, and McFadden has also gotten hurt.
Hopefully he can get back healthy and he might be a good 'buy low' player. Running backs tend to have short stints in the NFL and could do very well for a season or two and be back on the collectors radar. We've seen similar things when Cedric Benson came back and played well for the Bengals.

Tricyclic and tetracyclic antidepressants, also called cyclic antidepressants, were among the earliest antidepressants developed. They're effective, but they've generally been replaced by antidepressants that cause fewer side effects. Other antidepressants are prescribed more often, but cyclic antidepressants are still a good option for some people. In certain cases, they relieve depression when other treatments have failed.
Tricyclic and tetracyclic antidepressants ease depression by affecting naturally occurring chemical messengers (neurotransmitters), which are used to communicate between brain cells.
Cyclic antidepressants block the absorption (reuptake) of the neurotransmitters serotonin (ser-o-TOE-nin) and norepinephrine (nor-ep-ih-NEF-rin), making more of these chemicals available in the brain. This seems to help brain cells send and receive messages, which in turn boosts mood. Most antidepressants work by changing the levels of one or more neurotransmitters.
Cyclic antidepressants also affect other chemical messengers, which can lead to a number of side effects.
Cyclic antidepressants are designated as tricyclic or tetracyclic, depending on the number of rings in their chemical structure — three (tri) or four (tetra). Those approved by the Food and Drug Administration to treat depression are listed below.
Tricyclic antidepressants:
Maprotiline is a tetracyclic antidepressant.
Some of these medications are available as liquids (oral solutions).
Sometimes, these antidepressants are used to treat conditions other than depression, such as anxiety disorders or nerve-related (neuropathic) pain.
Side effects of cyclic antidepressants vary somewhat from medication to medication and usually don't last long. The most common side effects of cyclic antidepressants include:
Other side effects may include:
Read the package insert for additional side effects and talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you have questions.
Some tricyclic antidepressants are more likely to cause particular side effects. For example, amitriptyline, doxepin and trimipramine are more likely to make you sleepy than are other tricyclic antidepressants. Amitriptyline, doxepin and imipramine are more likely to cause weight gain than are other tricyclic antidepressants. Nortriptyline and desipramine appear to have better tolerated side effects.

Calcium and Osteoporosis
Lucia Magat-Gregorio, MD, is a board-certified internal medicine physician at Banner Estrella Medical Center.
Question: Will adding calcium to my diet help counteract osteoporosis?
Answer: Osteoporosis, which affects more than 28 million Americans, can definitely be neutralized with a well-balanced diet, and the support of regular, low-impact exercise but drinking an extra glass of milk will not completely halt the disease.
Every patient has selected "risk factors" that help determine if they may be susceptible to osteoporosis. If you have a family history of osteoporosis, you are more likely to have the disease. Osteoporosis is about four times more common in women than in men and tends to occur more often in slender people. Smokers, people with bone-related illnesses, or high-impact exercisers also are more susceptible to osteoporosis. Heavy alcohol consumption affects calcium absorption and reduces bone growth so heavy drinkers are more likely to have osteoporosis as well.
I always suggest a bone density test to anyone with a family history of osteoporosis or who is over the age of 55. Bone density tests typically involve an x-ray of your hips and your spine and take 10 to 15 minutes. They are the best way to detect bone loss at any degree and may help prevent future serious bone breaks, such as hip or leg breaks.
Once we determine risk factors and bone density, it is easier to determine what "prescription" is needed to ward off osteoporosis. Most people need a daily calcium intake of at least 1,000 mg each day, which is approximately the same amount of calcium in five 8-ounce glasses of milk or five cups of plain yogurt. If you are a man over age 65 or a postmenopausal woman not taking hormone replacement therapy, up your daily requirement to 1,500 mg per day.
Adding 15 minutes of sunshine a day helps produce Vitamin D, which is important in building bones but you have to be careful to protect your skin while enjoying the sun. Exercise is also very important. Low impact aerobic exercise, such as walking, swimming or dancing is a perfect way to build strong bones but be careful of falling.
If left untreated, osteoporosis also can lead to stooped posture, loss of height and increased amount of broken bones so it is important to be aware of your risk. Talk to your physician today about your risk factors and schedule a bone density test if you fit into the high risk category.

ZF-5181: ZF-3161 Fix Causes Problems
Forgive me if this is not a bug, but I can not seem to comment on anything here.
After upgrading to version 1.7.1, I had problems with OpenID. I got invalid controller errors when performing OpenID logins using the Zend Framework's provider library. The problem occurs because I have the host address in the query string as a GET parameter. The fix for ZF-3161 causes the request URI to be changed and consequently this results in an invalid controller being specified.
For example, if the request is http://test/controller/…, the request URI is changed to /something/.
When I replace Zend/Controller/Request/Http.php with the version from 1.7.0 it does not show this problem. The only change in the file between these versions is the code added by this fix.
Edit: Any update to this? I would like to know if it's me or a bug, thanks.
How are you narrowing this down to ZF-3161?
I think I know what's going on, and will look at it today.
Addressed an fixed in ZF-5818

|Climbed w/ Lara- yet another Sierra epic. Started approximately 10.15 from day-use parking.
Great weather, wonderful day to be in the Sierra! Taking our time, summited @ 17.34, LJ perhaps 10 min later. Hung out on summit far too long, indulging in some herbage & taking in the incredible views, esp. of Laurel Mtn, Bloody Mtn, even Mono Lake in the distance! Views S were great, too, but was unfamiliar w/ most of the immediate peaks in that direction. Departed @ 18.44. Veering slightly R (S) wasted valuable time, as we had to traverse over steep (thin layer of) scree-laden slopes to get back to the normal ridge/'trail.' By the time we attained the saddle where the route diverges from the standard E Slope, it was close to dark & the snow that would have been incredible to glissade down earlier had hardened to the point where this would be uncomfortable.
Views of Laurel Mtn, Morrison, & Torre de Miedra in the cloud-spattered moonlight were awesome, as well as the lightning flashes from somewhere E, on the other side of the mountain! Got back late. Great day up perhaps the most spectacular pile of scree I've climbed!

|Route Climbed: East Slope Date Climbed: June 1977
|Hiked up the canyon east of the peak then up the steep, rubbly slope directly to the notch where the northeast ridge meets the peak. From there, we headed south a bit, then zigzagged up narrow, scree-covered ledges to the summit. A large snowpatch just below the top kept things interesting. Descended to the notch, then traversed north to the top of Peak 11,108. Slid down the east side of that one to regain the floor of the canyon. The climbing was loose and not very enjoyable, but the views were quite nice. I'd do it again.

|Route Climbed: SE scramble and summits traverse Date Climbed: 2003-2005
|The SE scramble is a nice day outing. More fun in the winter though. It was a nice loop to traverse the summit ridge (watch out for the loose easy 5th near the South West summit). We were able to work down to the convict canyoun trail from the south summit with out much difficulty.

|Route Climbed: East Slope Via Hanging Valley Date Climbed: August 21
|The hanging valley seemed to drag on forever and was very tiring. We reached the confluence of the Hanging valley / East Slope, but we were bombarded by clouds and rain. We didn't reach the summit, and descended down the slope on the other side of peak 10,858. A very long descent this way, especially through the wind and rain.

|Route Climbed: East Slope via the hanging valley above Convict Lake Date Climbed: July 2002
|I first climbed this peak by the same route alone on July 25, 1994. I had previously tried the West Ridge Direct with James Reed and Joey Macaluso, but we were turned back by darkness within shouting distance of the summit. This ridge is incredibly loose! The 2nd East Ridge climb, made with ScottyS, was much more casual except for the T-Storms dropping rain and hail on our heads. Made the top during a lull in the storms, and hightailed it back to the lake. For more detailed info, visit my Mt.Morrison page.

|Route Climbed: East Slope via hanging valley south of Convict Date Climbed: July, 2002
|Dayhiked with bearbnz after bailing early off of the NE Williamson ridge. Dodged more T-storms all the way up! Started from the "day use" parking area at 1205 and ended at 1740 for a total time of 5hrs 35min.

|Route Climbed: south ridge Date Climbed: September, 1997
|I made a base camp in a high saddle above and SW of Convict Lake. I made a summit attempt from here up a horrendously loose scree couloir on the NW side. I got to the top of the couloir after much effort only to be turned around by a difficult loose looking class 4-5 ridge to the summit. The next day I circumnavigated the mountain, crossed a large snowfield, and climbed the south ridge with a class 3-4 variation. Nice climb; scarry loose rock everywhere! I climbed this peak previously in 1968 with my dad, in preparation for climbing in the Alps.

From Rails to Trails
"Offering people a place to reconnect with nature and exercise just might encourage them to bicycle to work or walk around our neighborhoods and reconnect with neighbors," says Alex Boudreau, PE, project manager with Sarasota County Public Works' Capital Management Services. Photos: Gibbs & Register Inc.
The railbeds of the former Venice to Sarasota rail trail were transformed into nearly 11 miles of asphalt paved trails for walkers, joggers, hikers, and cyclists.
Name: Legacy Trail
AEC firm: Vanasse Hangen Brustlin Inc. (VHB)
Project delivery method: Design-build
Cost: $27 million
Completed: March 2008
Envisioned two decades ago as a haven for walkers, hikers, cyclists, and joggers, the centerpiece of Sarasota County's trail system transforms 11 miles of abandoned railroad beds into paved trail.
"It's an ideal way to utilize unused land while restoring some local history," says Rex Huffman, vice president of construction contractor Gibbs & Register Inc., in reference to the industry and the infrastructure that saved the local economy from the grips of the Great Depression.
It's also extremely cost-effective. "Design and construction costs were reasonable because the subbase has been compacted with years of heavy loads," adds Huffman. "The sites are already cleared, the railroad beds are high and dry, and storm drainage is normally a nonissue."
The county bought the CSX railroad corridor in 2004 in partnership with nonprofit land conservation organization Trust for Public Land using $11.5 million in infrastructure surtax continuation funds and communications services tax revenues.
An additional $1 million financed forming the railroad beds into primitive trails, which was the first phase of the project.
Another $15.4 million from infrastructure surtaxes, utility rates, and general revenues paid for the second phase: designing and building 10.6 miles of 12-foot-wide asphalt trail; rehabilitating four bridges and installing two new ones; and building eight access connections, one of which links users to the Venetian Waterway Park via the historic Venice Train Depot, where trails lead to a nature center and a beach.
All of this required integrating environmental constraints, historical requirements, stormwater management, and the county's master trail plan.
Gibbs & Register partnered with VHB Inc. to design the trail system.
As lead design VHB handled permitting, which included preparing an environmental resource permit required by the Southwest Florida Water Management District, and minimizing potential impacts to threatened and endangered species such as gopher tortoises and scrub jays. Working with a geo-technical consultant, VHB also identified arsenic-contaminated soils that were buried under the trail at various locations.
"The county was extremely impressed with the design-build project delivery method," says VHB Director of Transportation Mark Bertoncini.
The county celebrated its new trail's first anniversary with exhibits, bike helmet giveaways, a barbeque, and live entertainment. But the work isn't over yet.
Construction on two trestles over waterways will begin this year to allow full use of the corridor as well as the ability to connect to another local trail to the south. And plans to add amenities in a third phase are in the works.

Robert Pattinson
London, England
"I don't see people. I don't even have people's phone numbers. I almost don't want to have a girlfriend, in this environment."
- Robert Pattinson
Robert Pattinson got his first big break when he was cast as Cedric Diggory in both Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. We were cool with that because back then he still had baby fat in his now chiseled cheeks, and he had to wear a dorky wizard costume in both films. Things have indeed changed since. His role as the sensitive vampire Edward Cullen in 2008's Twilight catapulted Robert Pattinson's face into stardom and into the high school lockers of girls the world over. He's raised the bar on how women measure good looks, and we're starting to get a little miffed. The British actor is arguably the hottest new star in Hollywood, and he's a big part of the reason why the Twilight DVD is one of the top five biggest selling DVDs of the past five years. Pre-sale tickets for the latest Twilight installment, Eclipse, are set to break records in terms of numbers, too. You can thank your girlfriend and her lady friends for that.
Despite being tied to beautiful women like actress Camilla Belle, Brazilian model Annelyse Schoenberger and his Twilight costar Kristen Stewart in gossip blogs, Robert Pattinson has been coy about his relationship status. We would be too if we had all his options.
Robert Pattinson BiographyDespite being famous for playing a 107 year-old vampire, Robert Pattinson was actually born on May 13, 1986, in London, England. His father was a luxury car importer while his mother worked at a modeling agency. It was no doubt thanks to his mother's connections that Robert Pattinson dabbled in modeling in his youth. He modeled between the ages of 12 to 15, ending his short career when, as he claims, "I stopped looking like a girl."
robert pattinson begins his acting careerAround age 15, Robert Pattinson got involved in amateur theatre in London through the Barnes Theatre Company. He landed his first movie role at age 18 in Mira Nair's Vanity Fair, starring Reese Witherspoon and Jonathan Rhys Meyers. Amazing director? Check. Award-winning leading lady? Check. The film had all the necessary ingredients to help turn a unknown new actor into a bone fide star, and it would have been a great start for Robert Pattinson had his scenes not been left on the editing room floor. If the sales of the DVD have gone up since Robert Pattinson fans have discovered that you can still see some of his scenes in the DVD version, then Focus Features knows who they have to thank for that.
Despite the disappointing start (but a start that nevertheless makes for a great bio detail for an actor once he actually does become famous), Robert Pattinson soon got a genuine great break when he was cast as Cedric Diggory in two of the Harry Potter flicks. With kids and adults alike obsessing over the series, Robert Pattinson got his first real taste of stardom and soon started to get recognized by fans on the streets of London.
robert pattinson moves to l.a.With a few smaller roles also under his belt, Robert Pattinson decided to try his luck in Hollywood. He was sleeping on his agent's couch when he went to audition for Twilight. Director Catherine Hardwicke had Robert Pattinson come to her home to read opposite the film's leading lady, Kristen Stewart. "I'd seen a zillion really cute guys," Hardwicke told GQ for the magazine's April 2009 issue, which features Robert Patterson on the cover. "But that was the problem. The all looked like the super-cute kid in your high school. The prom king, or the captain of the football team. They didn't look like they were from a different world and time."
robert pattinson is edward cullenAfter just three days at the box office, Twilight had pulled in approximately $70 million, and the online community had found its new obsession: Robert Pattinson. It wasn't long before the paparazzi deemed him a high priority target, and they no doubt had to make tough life decisions, like whether they would spend the day following Robert Pattinson or Zac Efron.
Instead of eating up the exposure and milking his moment in the sun, Robert Pattinson has kept the fans and production houses mainly in the dark about what he's going to do next, similar to the break Leonardo Dicaprio took after Titanic before attaching his name to The Beach. Although the third installment of Twilight, Eclipse, is now in theaters and there's still more to come in 2011, it still remains to be seen whether or not Pattinson will be the next Leonardo. His upcoming roles in Bel Ami and Water for Elephants will be better barometers of his acting skills than the Twilight series.

[Washington, DC] -- Saudi authorities defused terrorist operations which were about to be carried out against vital installations and arrested members of a number of terrorist cells after searching their hide-outs in farms and homes in the provinces of Riyadh and Qaseem and in the Eastern Province, according to the Ministry of Interior. Underground storage facilities were found at these farms and homes, containing bags filled with over 20 tons of chemical mixtures used in the making of explosives. The authorities found boxes, buried underground, that contained such items as 72 kilograms of the explosive material RDX, a fuse 981 meters long, and 524 ignitors, in addition to a number of machine guns and 18 rocket-propelled grenades with five launchers. They also found night-vision binoculars, communication devices, computer CDs, and SR 300,000 in cash, as well as motorbikes and cars ready for use in carrying out terrorist operations. Sixteen individuals connected to the terrorist cells were arrested in the raids. Saudi law enforcement authorities are continuing their search for other suspects connected to these cells.
Since May 2003, Saudi Arabia has arrested more than 140 individuals with suspected ties to terrorism. This is in addition to more than 300 arrests of terrorist suspects since September 11, 2001.
Ambassador to the United States Prince Bandar bin Sultan said: "These arrests put yet another dent in Al-Qaeda's terror network. They should serve as a warning to anyone who would jeopardize the security of Saudi Arabia's citizens and residents that we will find them and bring them to justice."

Musician Humberto Alvarez Upcoming Puerto Vallarta Tour Announced
Published May 22, 2013, 10:45am - (Updated Aug 30, 2013, 4:07pm)
Mexican composer and sound healer Humberto Alvarez will visit Puerto Vallarta this coming week for a short but extremely productive series of appearances that will appeal to many, from stage actors and singers to those simply looking to experience a musical performance that promises to be far from ordinary. "I am very excited about my trip to Puerto Vallarta," commented the Mexico City-based artist in a telephone interview. "Connecting with as many people as possible is my primary goal."
The prolific artist's credentials read like a "who's who" as far as Mexico's film and music world is concerned. Alvarez studied harpsichord and ancient music in the National Conservatory of Music under renowned composition teachers, including Mario Lavista and Rodolfo Halffter. He has composed music for over 100 short films, collaborating with important artists, such as Lila Downs, Eugenia Leon and Betsy Pecanins. He collaborated in the recently-released "Hecho en México," a 2012 documentary by Duncan Bridgeman on some of Mexico's most iconic artists and performers. His recorded output includes 10 audio CDs, five as a soloist.
A member of the Sound Healers Association, Alvarez has developed a niche through intense performances involving the use of tibetan and quartz bowls along with several native percussion instruments, along with lyrics written in Náhuatl, the language of the Aztecs. Away from the concert stage, the same instruments play a vital role in his sought-after sound healing treatments.
Humberto Alvarez will be in Puerto Vallarta, Thursday, May 30 - Sunday, June 2, offering the following performances and workshops:
Thursday, May 30: Sunset Meditation at Casa Cupula
Graciously sponsoring the artist's lodging for his Puerto Vallarta tour, Casa Cupula will host "A Taste of Humberto Alvarez." "We strongly believe that promoting the arts in Puerto Vallarta makes for a better destination," commented Don Pickens who launched the boutique hotel over a decade ago. The event's title is a playful variation on the hotel's successful restaurant's name. Those present will have a unique opportunity to enjoy Humberto's artistry as he guides those present through a sunset meditation in a beautiful, tropical setting. After the performance, the artist will be on hand, for those that wish to inquire about his workshops (see below). Melissa Castillo, producer of Humberto's concert the following evening (see below) will be available with tickets for said performance. Admission is free. A cash bar will be available, not to mention the opportunity to enjoy Taste Restaurant's $189-peso Restaurant Week menu. Casa Cupula is located at Callejón de la Igualdad 129 in Amapas.
7:30 PM • Free Admission
Friday, May 31: The Cartelera Escénica Performance
The following evening, Humberto Alvarez will participate in Melissa Castillos' successful concert series at the CECATUR Auditorium, offering his "Concierto de Armónicos con Cuencos Tibetanos, Cuencos de Cuarzo y Mantras en Náhuatl" (Harmonics Concert with Tibetan and Quartz Bowls and Nahuatl Mantras). "The small venue will prove to be ideal for this type of performance," commented Castillo, who has already reported successful ticket pre-sales. Admission is $50 pesos per person, with tickets available at Los Mangos Library, or at the CECATUR auditorium, starting at 7 pm on the evening of the performance. Those looking to get a sense of Humberto's performance are welcome to check out this video. The CECATUR Auditorium is located at the corner of Zaragoza and Matamoros streets in El Centro.
9 pm • $50 pesos per person
Saturday, June 1 & Sunday, June 2: The Workshops
Humberto Alvarez will offer two workshops during the weekend at La Cuiza in Isla Río Cuale. Saturday's workshop, "Free Your Voice," will explore the use of the voice to express a variety of emotions, and should appeal to singers and performers, not to mention the general public. More information is available at La Cuiza's website. La Cuiza is located at Isla Río Cuale behind Oscar's Restaurant.
10 am - 2 pm • $650 pesos per person
Sunday's workshop, also at La Cuiza, is titled "Stress Management and Meditation." It's aim is to develop a discipline of positive actions and to implement daily behaviors that benefit mind, body and spirit with positive, encouraging thoughts. More information is available at La Cuiza's website.
10 am - 2 pm • $650 pesos per person

Grading Guidelines
Evaluation of student work may be based upon a variety of methods, including essays, multiple choice testing, presentations, etc. The book below is a good reference for ways to assess a college level class in a variety of field. You can also check out the section in the handbook on SLOS, assessment and rubrics.
Angleo, Thomas A., and Cross, K. Patricia. Classroom Assessment Techniques: A Handbook for College Teacher, 2 edition. Jossey-Bass. 1993.
Please be aware that attendance is to be encouraged but should not be used in grading. Actual, substantive, class participation can be used. Let students know at the beginning of the class what is to be expected of them throughout the semester. Handouts listing examination dates and assignments are helpful.
Legal opinion from the Chancellor's OfficeScantrons
Scantron machines are available to assist you in grading multiple-choice tests. Students may purchase scantrons in the Bookstore. Please let them know what size scantron they need. (50 or 100 questions)
IVC students may purchase scantrons at IVC Admissions & Records or the Career Study Center (Building 17).
The locations of the scantron scanners are:
To avoid penalties of the MCCD/UPM-AFT Contract (Article 24) final examinations are held at fixed times and are designated in the schedule. Instructors are not to give examinations in advance of the regular exam week schedule. If you need to change the time or location of your final, you must get the approval of the Vice President of Student Learning.
In addition, the final exam schedule is listed in the print and pdf versions of the class schedule each semester. Please announce the date, time and place of your final to your class often as it may be different than your regularly scheduled class time.
Midterm and Final Grade Submission
Instructors should enter the midterm grades and final grades on the rosters in their MyCOM Portal accounts before the posted deadline dates listed in the Academic Calendar.
You can access the Midterm Grade Rosters by the Faculty Grade Assignment Channel:
OR In the Faculty Dashboard:
Academic Record Symbols and Grade Point Average
The College's grading system shall provide students with a realistic assessment of their academic performance consistent with state regulations which encourage exploration of different academic fields and reinforce serious commitment to educational goals.
Grade Points: Each letter grade has the following point assignment for each unit:
Successfully Completed: Successful completion of a course is defined as receiving a grade of P, C or better.
Grade Point Average: Divide the total grade points earned by the number of units attempted. Do not include I, IP, W, P/NP, or MC.
Honor List: Students will be placed on a semester honor list when their semester GPA is 3.0 or higher. These students may not be on probation or have any "I", "NP", or "F" grades, and must be enrolled in 12 units of letter-graded classes at the College.FAQs About Plus and Minus GradingCollege of Marin has recently adopted a system of grading that, pursuant to Title 5, Section 55023, allows the use of plus and minus symbols. Patrick Kelly, former Vice-Presiden of the Academic Senate prepared the following answers.
Does the use of a plus or minus affect GPA?
Yes. A= 4.0, A-= 3.7, B+=3.3, B=3.0, B-=2.7,C+=2.3, C=2.0, D+=1.3, D=1.0, D-=.7, F+=.3, F=0
Is there really an F+ ????
Yes, believe it or not, there is. I am not sure when one would use an F+, but it is in the regulations.
I noticed there is no C-. Why is that?
The freedom for districts to adopt a +/- system has been approved by the chancellor's office with the requirement that grades of C- will not be allowed. If C- were allowed it would create ambiguity as to what is a passing grade, especially when the grade of C or better is required for a course completion for prerequisites and transfer programs. Meaning, if C- were allowed, a student could get a passing grade at CoM (C-), but would have to take the class over upon transfer since it does not meet the prerequisites at the four year school he or she transferred to.
An FW appears on the grading dropdown menu in the MyCOM site. What is an FW?
According to Title 5: "FW grade symbol (may be used) to indicate that a student has both ceased participating in a course some time after the last day to officially withdraw from the course without having achieved a final passing grade…its grade point value shall be zero (0)."
An FW is similar to an F in that it results in a GPA of 0.0 and, if the course is retaken can be lined out. The purpose of the FW is to indicate to anyone looking at a student's transcript (a four-year school for instance) that the student received the F as a result of non-attendance and not for academic reasons. It is the understanding of the Academic Senate that instructors will be able to do "Instructor Withdraw" at around midterm time as in previous semesters. Therefore, if someone hasn't shown up to class in a while, it is better to drop them than to wait and have to issue and FW.
What procedure should I use for giving an "I" (for incomplete)?
All of the criteria and procedures are the same as those previously used. Simply mark an "I" using the MyCOM dropdown grading menu. Then go to Admissions and Records to fill out the appropriate form.
What about C/NC?
Credit/No Credit is now called Pass/No Pass. The same basic rules apply. However, now that we are using Banner, students MUST choose the P/NP option themselves. The student must choose this option during the first 30% of the semester for full term courses. If students choose P/NP and then change their minds BEFORE the deadline, they can simply switch back to the letter grade option. However, after the deadline, no further changes can be made by the student or the instructor.
Is an instructor for a course required to use plus and minus grades?
The new +/- system provides more grade options, but how those options are used is the decision of the instructor. In short, no, it is up to you whether you use +/- grades.
Is there a standard in terms of the 100-point scale where people draw (or where we should draw) the cut points for these new grades? That is, are we required to use 90, 80, 70, etc as cutoffs for grades? Is there any recommendation as to where the new cut-point should be?
There are no recommended guidelines for establishing cut points with the +/- system, just as there are no guidelines recommended within the previous system. Once again, the assignment of grades is strictly under the purview of the individual instructor. If more than one section of the same class is being taught by two different instructors, it may be a good idea to discuss this question among yourselves.
Can an instructor opt ot give +/- grades to those students who want them and standard A, B, etc grades to those who do not want a +/-? Or do instructors have to grade all students in any one class alike?
A basic principle of academic freedom is that the individual instructor is responsible for the assignment of grades. That being said, if an instructor chooses to establish an individual contract with each student regarding the grading scale, the instructor could encounter complaints after grades are awarded, as students who exhibit the same performance in the same class could receive different grades. We would highly recommend that each instructor use a consistent grading scheme for all the students in a class.
Do students have catalogue rights with respect to grading symbols?
Students do not have catalogue rights, i.e. they cannot demand to be graded using only straight letter grades if the rest of the class is graded using the =?- scale.
The Board of Trustees has approved the academic grading symbol of Pass "P", No Pass "NP" (formerly Credit "CR", No Credit "NC").
A Pass "P" signifies that a student is passing (at least satisfactory – the units are not counted in GPA, and has the same meaning as "CR"). To receive a pass grade, course work must be "C" level or higher.
A No Pass "NP" signifies that the student is not passing (less than satisfactory, or failing – units are not counted in GPA and has the same meaning as "NC").
Procedures for Selecting a Pass "P"/No Pass "NP" or Letter Grading Option
The Board of Trustees has approved certain courses at the College of Marin to be offered in either of the following categories:
IMPORTANT: It is important to understand that the option of Pass/No Pass is to be selected by the student when the student registers for the course OR within 30% of the length of the term. Students may make that selection when registering online at https://mycom.marin.edu or by completing a Pass/No Pass/Letter Grading Option Form and submitting it to the Office of Admissions and Records at either campus within the specified deadline dates.
NOTE: A student may change his/her selection until the 30% deadline date. Once the deadline date has passed, the selection cannot be changed.
An Incomplete "I" grade may be assigned to a student who cannot complete a small portion of the required academic work because of a justifiable emergency or unforeseeable reason at the end of the semester. The decision to give an Incomplete rests solely with the instructor.
A student who receives an Incomplete grade must make arrangements with the instructor and must make up the work by the last day of final examinations in the following semester. In extenuating circumstances, and with the instructor's approval, the student may petition for an extension of not more than one additional semester. Students who received an incomplete grade one semester do NOT re-enroll the next semester to make up the work.
While issuing a final grade of Incomplete is now accomplished online through the MyCom Portal, the instructor must continue to submit an Incomplete Requirement Form to the Office of Admissions and Records, after providing a copy to the student, stating the conditions for completing the work and the final grade to be assigned if the work is not completed.
The instructor shall submit a Change of Grade Form to the Office of Admissions and Records when the work is completed. If the Incomplete is not removed by the end of the subsequent semester, and no extension has been granted, the Incomplete grade shall be changed to the alternate grade indicated on the Incomplete Requirement Form.
An In-Progress "IP" grade is used when a class is scheduled as open-entry, open-exit or extends beyond the normal end of an academic term. An "IP" indicates that work is "in-progress". The "IP" symbol shall remain on the student's permanent record. A student who receives an "IP" must re-enroll for the course in the subsequent semester and complete the required work to achieve a grade and the appropriate grade shall be assigned by the instructor when the course is completed.
Students who receive an IP grade MUST re-enroll in the subsequent semester or they will receive the alternative grade assigned by the instructor. The enrollment fee will be charged for re-enrollment.
An "IP" shall be recorded only once for any given class. It shall not be used in calculating grade point average or determining progress probation. The instructor shall submit an "IP" Alternative Grade Form to the Office of Admissions and Records that includes a final grade to be posted if the student fails to re-enroll. If the student does not re-enroll AND complete the class in the next regular semester, the student shall receive the grade indicated on the "IP" form.
"FW" Academic Grading Symbol It is the responsibility of each student to register for and drop a course if necessary. You can support students by notifying them of add and drop regulations and deadlines. If, however, you have a student who has stopped coming to class, you may be able to assign and "FW" if the following criteria apply:
The "FW" grade is an indication that a student has ceased participating in a course after the last day to officially withdraw from the course without having achieved a final passing grade, AND that the student has not received District authorization to withdraw from the course under extenuating circumstances (late withdrawal). The "FW" symbol may not be used if a student has qualified for and been granted military withdrawal "MW". If an "FW" is used, its grade point value equals zero (0), and it will be calculated into the GPA in the same manner as an "F" grade.
In 2007 the Chaffey College Faculty Senate submitted the following questions to the Chancellor's Office regarding cheating:
The Chancellor's Office sent the following response:
"On October 17, 2007, you wrote to Chancellor Woodruff requesting a legal opinion on two issues regarding the ability of a faculty member to penalize a student for suspected cheating or academic dishonesty. Specifically, you asked:
For the reasons which follow, we conclude that neither of these practices is permissible."

Meet the Cook: Since you can chop up all the ingredients the night before, this can be ready in about 30 minutes. So it's a great after-work dinner. You can also serve it as a snack or an appetizer...similar to chicken nuggets. I've even substituted quail for the chicken, and it was delicious. Next, I may try it with pork! -Kari Caven, Coeur d'Alene, Idaho
- 1 can (8 ounces) crushed pineapple
- 1-1/2 cups sugar
- 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1/2 cup white vinegar
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1/2 cup chopped green pepper
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 cup all-purpose flour

- Drain pineapple, reserving juice. In a large saucepan, combine sugar, tomatoes, vinegar, onion, green pepper, soy sauce, ginger and pineapple. Simmer for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine cornstarch and the reserved pineapple juice until smooth; add to tomato mixture. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat; set aside.
- For the batter, in a small bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, sugar and water until smooth.
- In a deep-fat fryer, heat oil to 375°. Dip chicken pieces in batter; drop into oil and fry about 3-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and juices run clear. Serve immediately with sweet-sour sauce. Yield: 4 dozen appetizers.

|Two Vandals earn all-WAC honors
LAS VEGAS, Nev. - Two Idaho volleyball players were honored Sunday night at the annual Western Athletic Conference Volleyball Tournament banquet, as the WAC postseason awards were given out. Freshman outside hitter Allison Walker was a first-team all-WAC selection, and was selected to the WAC all-freshman team, while senior middle blocker Kelsey Taylor was a second-team all-WAC selection.
Walker led the Vandals and ranked fourth in the WAC with 3.95 kills per game, totaling 387 on the season. She hit 224 for the year and added 133 digs (1.36 per game). Walker had six double-doubles on the season, including four straight from Nov. 6-15. She earned WAC Player of the Week honors once during the season, and was the only freshman to earn a first-team all-WAC spot. Walker was named to the all-tournament team at the Nike Cougar Classic and the Community Bankers Classic earlier in the season.
Taylor led Idaho with 133 total blocks on the season and a .265 hitting percentage. She averaged 1.32 blocks per game, which ranks in the top-25 nationally, and finished the regular season with 194 kills. Taylor was a preseason all-WAC selection heading into 2010, and was WAC player of the week one time during the season. Taylor earned all-tournament team honors at the Gonzaga Volleyball Tournament.
Hawai'i junior outside hitter Kanani Danielson earned her second-straight WAC Player of the Year honor, and was selected to the first-team all-WAC for the third straight year. UH freshman Emily Hartong was a second-team all-WAC selection and earned the WAC Freshman of the Year award. Hawai'i coach Dave Shoji earned his eighth career WAC Coach of the Year honor. 2010 marked the 15th consecutive year that the WAC Player of the Year came from the University of Hawai'i.
The 2010 WAC volleyball tournament gets underway on Monday, with No. 3 Utah State taking on No. 6 Nevada, and No. 5 Idaho facing No. 4 Boise State.

Find out how our BA expert, Brian Spencer, spends 24 hours in Mauritius.
A holiday in Mauritius is all about relaxation. You'll soon be taken over by the slow pace of life and most of your time is likely to be centered around your world-class resort hotel.
LUX* Le Morne is a great example, beautifully located at the foot of Le Morne mountain, this stylish hotel adjoins a long sandy and sheltered beach and the nearby reef creates ideal conditions for a spot of snorkelling – nothing too energetic! The great thing about this deluxe hotel is that it feels like a small boutique property and yet the accommodation meanders through extensive casuarina and palm studded gardens, within which are three good size swimming pools each with its own unique appeal. And wherever you choose to chill out, a cool drink or light snack is never far away. In all of its hotels, LUX* has also come up with some great little extras that seem to pop up out of nowhere - ice cream parlours or mobile carts, secret bars for a refreshing drink and if you really must call home, there are even UK style phone boxes from where you can phone home for free! Then what better way than to round off the day with an amazing spa treatment followed by a cool Mojito while watching the sun sink beneath the horizon.
Mauritius is definitely an outdoors destination. If you can drag yourself away from the beach there is fabulous scenery to be seen and a whole host of activities to suit all tastes. The local people are friendly and it is safe.
Unlike many holiday destinations, most hotels string out around the island's coastline rather than being concentrated in resorts - of which there are very few. I reckon the best way to explore is by car and 2 or 3 days rental is all you need to see a lot. Driving is really easy, as long as you are not in a hurry, and like the UK you drive on the left. Speed limits generally range from 40km/h in residential areas to 80 km/h on highways.
I will always choose to explore the winding coastal road, passing through sleepy fishing villages, finding great spots to picnic, seeing dramatic seascapes and discovering small coves or lagoons of turquoise and sapphire waters. If like me you love photography, the south of the island in particular has some amazing scenery. Steep pinnacle mountains – as if from another planet – rise up from vast fields of sugar cane to pierce the deep blue sky, impromptu streams and waterfalls and bougainvillea clad homes. You'll also notice some strange shapes, where the surf pounds the shore and sculpts the rocks – like at Gris Gris (witch) - a rock shaped like a pointed hat off the coast.
There is an abundance of sporting activities ranging from every conceivable type of water sport to horse riding, cycling, tennis plus much more.
If you are a keen golfer like me (serious or casual) you'll love Mauritius which is home to some of the finest courses including several championship ones. My choice of course would have to be the Bernhard Langer designed, par 72, 18-hole championship course at Ile Aux Cerfs, on the island's east coast. This was voted the 10th best course in the world by Golf World magazine (UK) but is accessible to players of all levels and a round of golf won't break the bank either. The island setting, just off shore from the world renowned Shangri-La's Le Touessrok Resort & Spa, is truly spectacular. Covering some 38 hectares, with no less than nine lakes, the course offers superb views of the ocean from all 18 holes.
Here you will also find a David Leadbetter Golf Academy and if your partner isn't into golf then there is still plenty to keep them occupied. Surrounded by sparkling coral sand beaches there is a sailing club, water sports plus a selection of restaurants. Even if I wasn't playing golf I think the clubhouse, with its spectacular views and fine restaurant, would be worth a relaxing visit.
If your view of island dining is fish and rice then think again. Mauritius offers a superb choice of fine local cuisine with a strong influence from Asia and France. Many hotels now also feature specialty dining among their choice of restaurants including – Thai, Indian, Italian, Japanese, seafood and Creole, as well as French style fine dining and extensive international buffets.
The hotel's concierge however, will always be able to recommend a great local restaurant nearby – there is a myriad of them, usually tucked away off a side road in the countryside and often in the style of a typical Mauritian home or small chateau. Taxis are always available to reach these but I love to explore by car – stopping when I see something that takes my fancy – and I've never been disappointed. Whether it is for lunch or dinner you usually can't beat a local restaurant for atmosphere. I can recommend The Beach Shack, Bottegita, Escale Créole and Le Saint Aubin Restaurant to name but a few.
When it comes to drink, the plethora of sugar mills is a strong indication that rum is the national drink – and what a variety they have. You must try the local Mojitos – probably the best I have ever had! The island though is a great importer of fine wines – especially from South Africa. When it comes to beer the local brew 'Phoenix' is a very acceptable larger and great with a lunchtime snack by the hotel pool.
Relax on sun-kissed white sands and bathe in glistening sapphire waters on beach holidays in Mauritius. The east coast boasts some of the most stunning beaches on the island, while the crystalline shallow lagoons of the south coast are superb for snorkelling. Find your own private hideaway among the rugged beauty of the north coast, with its secluded bays and coves. Our hotels in Mauritius enjoy fabulous beachfront locations and many provide excellent water sports facilities.
Take a picnic to a secluded bay or dine while watching the sun set over the ocean at a beachfront restaurant on romantic holidays in Mauritius. Enjoy a moonlit stroll with your loved one along powder-soft sands, or take in the stunning coastal scenery during a long walk together. Why not treat yourselves to an indulgent couples' pampering session at a sumptuous spa hotel? Stay at one of our fabulous luxury hotels for the holiday of a lifetime.
Relax and feel your stresses ebbing away on spa holidays in Mauritius. Our Mauritian hotels all boast spa facilities. The luxurious spas at our five star properties are sanctuaries of beauty and tranquillity, where soothing Mauritian treatments will leave you feeling calm and invigorated. Indulge in a deep massage with coconut at the world-class spa of The Oberoi hotel, set in stunning gardens. Impeccable service and opulent spa facilities are what you can expect from our luxury hotels in Mauritius.
Les plages superbes et sans danger pour les enfants offrent de multiples possibilités pour nager, faire du tuba ou de la plongée pendant vos vacances en famille à l'île Maurice.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum is pleased to partner with Microsoft Zune for Five Minutes with Fame, an exclusive video series on the Zune Marketplace featuring singers, songwriters and bands at the forefront of today's music. After a behind-the-scenes tour of the Museum, we sit down with artists to talk about their music, their road to success, inspirations, being on tour and of course, some of their favorite artists and artifacts highlighted in the Museum. This week's featured artist is Dierks Bentley.
At only 35 years of age, Dierks Bentley has released seven albums, won numerous CMT Awards, been nominated for Grammy Awards and already has a Greatest Hits album. But the road was long and not always easy. A love of country music inspired Bentley, a native of Phoenix, to move to Nashville at the age of 19. He was soon discouraged by what he considered his new community's indifference to music, but his mind changed after a late night hang at the Station Inn bluegrass bar, and he decided to give music another go. Pursuing and playing gigs, Bentley landed a job at the TNN television network doing research on classic country music, while at night he worked on his music demos, which eventually made it into the hands of Capitol Records. Signed to the label soon thereafter, Bentley recorded and released his self-titled debut album in 2003, and his single "What Was I Thinkin'" began to take off. His next album, Modern Day Drifter, was released two years later and showcased Bentley's love of old-school country music and became a Top Ten hit. In 2006 he returned with Long Trip Alone, followed by a greatest hits record Every Mile a Memory in 2008; a bit early in his career, but a fan favorite, including handpicked bonus live tracks from the fans. Bentley since released Feel that Fire in 2009 and is currently on tour to support his latest release, Up on the Bridge.
Here, Dierks talks about the struggles of making country music in the country music capital of the world, touring the U.S. and some of his favorite things he saw on display at the Rock Hall, including Hank Williams' suit, Johnny Cash's guitar and Bono's first guitar.
Along with Microsoft's Zune Marketplace on PC and XBox Live, the only place you'll be able to see these videos is right here each week on rockhall.com. Stay tuned for next week's Five Minutes with Fame with Travie McCoy!

ZF-11514: Zend_Mail_Message incorrectly merges configuration flags supplied via constructor
{{Zend_Mail_Message}}, Line 76:
$this->_flags = array_combine($params['flags'], $params['flags']);
This just combines the supplied array with itself then assigns to class member. Should be:
$this->_flags = array_merge($this->_flags, array_combine($params['flags'], $params['flags']));
To merge it into the member without overwriting the pre-existing defaults.
I've marked this as trivial since {{Zend_Mail_Message}} doesn't currently define any default values, so overwriting the class member doesn't have any negative effect.

Jorge Villegas
Listen to Professor Villegas discuss emotions in advertising
Meet Jorge Villegas
Assistant Professor,
Business Administration
- B.S. Marketing, Monterrey Tech (Mexico)
- M.B.A. Monterrey Tech (Mexico)
- Ph.D. Advertising, University of Texas at Austin
- When I got my undergraduate degree in Monterrey, Mexico, I was absolutely sure that I was done with school. I wanted to be a market researcher, a copywriter (the person who writes the text of an advertising campaign), a director of TV commercials, or a writer. I was lucky to do all of these activities before turning 30. In all of these jobs, I always had questions such as: How does this really work? Why do we do it this way? What is the theory behind? The only way to answer these questions was to get a doctorate degree where you learn how to empirically test theories and develop new knowledge. In general, if you want to be a researcher, you need to be a teacher. So I stumbled upon teaching as a profession. Now, I can't imagine doing anything else but doing research and teaching.
Interesting facts:
- I am a very boring person: I don't drink, watch sports, dance, place bets, smoke, and the list goes on. What do I do? Play with my kids, walk my dog, talk with my wife, and read in the 3 minutes that I am left alone.
Learning philosophy:
- I firmly believe that professors who teach applied courses such as marketing, advertising, and consumer behavior need to position their courses as much more than a stepping stone toward graduation. The courses that I teach are an opportunity for students to explore the possibility of working in these areas or to genuinely understand their role in businesses as well as in their personal life.
Research interests:
- My research focuses on three major areas: the influence of individuals' affective and cognitive process in persuasion, creativity in advertising agencies, and the role of marketing in organizations.
Major project underway:
- Probably the most fun project that I am working on is creativity in ad agencies. My research sees creativity as the outcome of an advertising agency's environment, philosophy, and personnel. The main objective of my research is to develop a holistic model of this organizational strategic resource and process. It's very cool to interview for an hour or two some of the most creative people in top ad agencies and learn about the past, present, and future of the advertising world.

Advice to prospective students:
- Work hard, be open minded, and ask as many questions as you need.
Best thing about UIS:
- I like the small size of the classes and the opportunity to interact with students. Even our "large" core courses are 10% the size of similar courses in large universities.
