It was originally established in the mid-2000s, as a yearly event where judges and the public would gather and judge Park City Area Restaurant Association bartenders' creative libations.
A couple of years ago, the contest became a bi-annual event that named a spring and fall drink for Park City.
The spring mix is available throughout the summer and the fall drink is available during the winter.
This year, the event, which benefits the People's Health Clinic, a nonprofit organization that provides medical care to the area's uninsured residents, has been moved to a Friday, and will be held in the Stein Eriksen Lodge Deer Valley ballroom, said Sarah Myers, public relations manage at Stein Eriksen Lodge Deer Valley.
"We also wanted to change it up a bit this year and hold it on a Friday night, so more people can attend," Myers said. "With the ballroom space we have, we're hoping to make this year's contest more of an accessible event. We're going to have flat screen TVs set up so that everyone in the room can be involved with seeing the creation of the cocktails."
There will be 16 mixologists who will show off their skills to see whose concoction will be named Park City's Signature Cocktail. (See accompanying story titled "Cocktail Contest mixologists"). The Stein Eriksen mixer will be Cody Childers, who will mix the Fig Sidecar.
This year's judges will include Salt Lake Magazine food editor Mary Malouf, City Weekly food editor Ted Scheffler and Park Record Publisher Andy Bernhard, to name a few.
The winner will receive a $100 cash prize and a trophy. Also, winning drink will be available on the menu of all the Park City Area Restaurant Association's bars and eateries throughout the fall and winter.
Admission is $10.
"Five dollars of each admission will go directly to the PHC and the other $5 will go to cover costs of running the event," Myers said. "Also, since people sometimes stay at the lodge during the cocktail contest, we decided to donate 10 percent of the room revenue to the PHC as well."
To date, according to the PCRA, the cocktail contest has raised more than $6,000 for PHC, Myers said.
The idea to hold this year's contest at Stein Eriksen Lodge came at the conclusion of last spring's contest that was held at Cisero's and won by Deer Valley Grocery Café's Bickmore and Bonnie Ulmer's Flower & Pine mixing.
"We thought it would be fun to bring people up to Stein's and have a fun night and benefit a good cause," Myers said. "We feel the PHC is an important addition to our community and serves a huge need here. We are so fortunate to have them in our community.
"This is a fun community event in the fall where all the bars and restaurants are preparing for the winter season," she said. "We're members of the Park City Area Restaurant Association and we're involved in wanting to support and participate in these types of things."
Myers, who has been with Stein Eriksen Lodge for four years, is looking forward to the event.
"Just so people will know, we are undergoing some construction," she said. "So, when people come up to the lodge, and see a large crane, they need not worry. We're still going to have the contest."
The Park City Fall Cocktail Contest will be held Friday, Oct. 12, at Stein Eriksen Lodge, beginning at 6:30 p.m. Attendees must be aged 21 and older. Admission is $10 and the a portion of the money will be donated to the People's Health Clinic, a nonprofit organization that provides medical care for uninsured families in Summit and Wasatch Counties.

Rated 3.8 out of 5 by 4 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by 3dognight Perfect to use with couch! I bought this table since I do not have a lot of room to have an end table or coffee table in my living room. It is the perfect height to slide up close to the couch. It is made of heavy duty metal. The table looks way better in person! Love the unique industrial look of the table! Simple assembly took less than 5 minutes to put together. Super fast shipping- I ordered the table on a Sunday night and got it on Thursday! October 17, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Binks Great little table I bought 2 of these to use as "TV trays" when sitting in front of the TV. It works perfectly as a TV tray or laptob table. I use it for both and they are great. I have received a few compliments on them from people who have come over. They're also really easy to put together. I had to have my fiancé hammer the leg into the hole though...they don't fit very well. September 12, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by stayathomie OK for a laptop table This is probably my fault because I planned on using this as a side table next to our couch as we don't have much space. It didn't seem that solid and I was concerned with it tipping over. Also, the metal part of the table looks like it can be peeled off like laminate. I would say that this is an OK laptop table, but not worth it for anything else. January 30, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by livinglegacyjoy Not what I expected I thought the top would be more industrial looking like an old ariplane wing. They are trying to have it look that way but it is very "manufactured" look to me vs. the organic metal look I was going for. The item came to me damaged. I would not pay for shipping on this. Not worth it. The color is more grey than silver which is also what I wanted. Pier One has some really nice side tables for the same price. I may return this one anyway as it came to me damaged. Not sure I would recommend purchasing this if you are looking for what I was. May 17, 2014

As part of an answer to a Stack Overflow question I made the assumption that if I choose two distinct positive integers $m$ and $n$, them give you $m - n$ and $m$ XOR $n$, then you can uniquely determine what $m$ and $n$ were. For all the examples I've tried this seems to work correctly, though I have no reason to believe that this should work in general. Moreover, I'm not familiar enough with the interactions of differences (or sums, for that matter) and XOR to deivse a proof or counterexample.
Is my claim true? If so, how would you go about proving it? If not, is there a nice counterexample?
Thanks so much!

During the afternoon hours, temperatures could actually exceed the 100-degree mark at some point between Thursday and Saturday, reports Michael Walsh in today's Daily News, and the next few days are not expected to be much better.
AccuWeather forecasts that temperatures in the city could reach 97 degrees Thursday, 94 degrees Friday and 92 degrees Saturday. But during the afternoon hours, when the sun is at its highest, the temperature could actually exceed the 100-degree mark.
Everyone is encouraged to drink plenty of fluids and wear light-colored, lightweight clothes. Senior citizens and people with respiratory difficulties are advised to avoid strenuous activities and seek cooler environments. Pets or children should not be left unattended in a car at any point.
"Make sure you drink lots of fluids. You can get dehydrated quickly, even if you're not exercising," said Tod Bania, an emergency medical doctor at St. Luke's & Roosevelt Hospitals.
Bania encourages people who typically exercise outside to take a few days off. If they absolutely must exercise outdoors, he suggests doing it early in the morning or late in the evening.
Catholic Charities cooling centers at 120 Anderson Avenue in Staten Island along with cooling centers through New York City will remain open through Sunday, 7/21, due to continued high temperatures and heat indices.

Book Review
The Church of OMG
By Jenny Lower 02/14/2013
& the Prison
of Belief
By Lawrence Wright
(2013, Alfred A. Knopf)
Lawrence Wright's latest book, Going Clear: Scientology, Hollywood, and the Prison of Belief, is one humdinger of a takedown. The page-turner reads like pulp fiction — incidentally, Scientology founder and writer L. Ron Hubbard's former genre — packed with lurid tales of bigamy, black magic, paranoia, wife beating, forced abortions, kidnapping and espionage.
It almost sounds too far-fetched to be credible — adults, in this day and age, packed into airless trailers in the desert, deprived of food and sleep, convinced they'll endanger their immortality if they flee? But if the journalist and his 200-plus sources (many former high-ranking members) are to be believed, these stories may be only the tip of the iceberg.
Going Clear expands Wright's prize-winning 2011 New Yorker article "The Apostate." That piece mostly profiled director Paul Haggis, who publicly denounced Scientology in 2009. Haggis remains, but the expanded version (which takes its name from a state of enlightenment on the church's Bridge to Total Freedom) now examines Scientology's vast financial holdings, its courtship of celebrities like Tom Cruise and John Travolta, and fantastic accounts of alleged mistreatment.
But Wright's book doesn't read like gotcha journalism. If anything, he displays studious fairness toward Scientology. The church's more exotic cosmology, like its belief in an evil emperor Xenu who ruled over a Galactic Confederacy 75 million years ago, is presented without irony. Wright concedes Hubbard's extraordinary charisma, despite the man's obvious flaws.
Footnotes document each disputed assertion, like the accusations of physical assault lodged against current leader David Miscavige, which the church categorically denies. (Wright cites 11 people who claim to be victims; 22 say they witnessed abuse first-hand.) Exhaustive endnotes and a four-page bibliography document Wright's sources. An entire chapter is devoted to a meeting hashing out the church's response to the New Yorker's 971 fact-checking queries: the Scientology delegation arrives with 48 three-ring binders' worth of material stretching nearly seven feet.
The mountain of information can be overwhelming at times, but it contains unforgettable narratives. One of the many profoundly disturbing episodes Wright recounts is the case of Daniel Montalvo. Now in his 20s, Montalvo joined the Sea Org with his parents at age 5. He says he spent 15-hour workdays cleaning up asbestos without protective gear before moving, in his teens, to Scientology's publishing division in Los Angeles. While working there with the guillotine-style machine that slices notches into each book's appendix, he cut off a finger. Doctors, believing he'd injured himself in a skateboarding accident, tried and failed to reattach it.
Wright acknowledges that in many religions, what seem irrational or absurd teachings to outsiders become articles of faith for their members. He compares Scientology to other homegrown religious movements, like Mormonism and the Amish. But Wright's painstaking reporting amasses evidence of an institution that seems so flawed that, if even one-tenth of his findings were to prove true in court, for example, they would likely place the church's survival in serious jeopardy. As it is, given this book, the court of public opinion may accomplish that anyway.

Price: $26.00
Diwali is the Hindu festival of lights, when families gather to celebrate with lanterns, fireworks, and candles. In India's rural Kutch and Gujarat states, Diwali decorations often incorporate tiny slivers of mirror that cast glittering reflections. These traditional Diwali votives begin with laca resin that Gujarati women gather from trees and mold like clay. Before the lac hardens, beads and hand-cut mirrors are pressed into its surface. Replaceable tea-light candles included. Set of four. Handmade in India.

Defective product
By Carol

About Me Midrange shopper
Comments about Festival of Lights Mirrored Votives:
This was given as a gift to my sister, and the package was received in early December. As it quickly became defective, she packaged the product as directed and returned it immediately. I have never received a refund, nor has she ever gotten a replacement. I am greatly disappointed.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
From National Geographic:Thank you for your comments. We regret that the votives were defective. We understand that our customer service department has already been in touch.

I ordered a set at Christmas time to use in our home. When they arrived one was broken. I contacted NG and they kindly sent me another set, but when that arrived two of the four were broken. Oddly, in both cases the one I liked the best was broken. I decided not to contact NG again because it is a non-profit and I support it.Ann
From National Geographic:Thank you for your feedback. We sincerely regret that some votives arrived broken. Your comments have been passed along to our customer service department, which will be in touch with you shortly.
Looks nice, poor quality
By Dunestrider
from Michigan City, IN
These look nice, and are a classic Rajasthani style. But they are poor quality. This is my second time ordering. The first shipment had one broken, right out of the box. The second shipment, all came unbroken. But they are such poor quality, trying to get the old candle out is difficult (the candle holders are out-of-round shape). And putting a new candle in breaks it. Out of the 4 candleholders, I have only one good one.

TEMPE, Ariz. -
Strong efforts in singles play were not enough to lift No. 21 ASU (15-5; 5-4 Pac-12) over No. 13 Stanford on Saturday afternoon at the Whiteman Tennis Center in Tempe, Ariz. Sun Devil freshman Ebony Panoho was the only player able to earn a win for ASU, bringing her total to 7 wins of the last 9 matches.
"This was a more competitive match than the score shows, I thought we competed better today than we did yesterday, but like I said our doubles just have to get better," ASU Head Coach Sheila McInerney said. "The passion and energy was improved but I still wasn't really pleased."
Doubles continued to be a rough spot for ASU, with both nationally ranked teams dropping their matches. The only unranked ASU doubles team, the sophomore-freshman pairing of Joanna Smith and Ebony Panoho, was also unable to control the lead at the point the match was called.
"The last four matches we've been playing a lot better teams, there are no questions about it. But with that being said, I think that we need to play much better doubles in these last few matches," McInerney said. "We played decently against UCLA last weekend, but we didn't play very well in doubles yesterday or today."
Singles seemed to be a mirror image of the day prior with freshman Ebony Panoho earning the lone point for ASU. The freshman for ASU defeated the senior Cardinal in a well-fought three set match on the No. 6 court, 6-2, 3-6, 6-4. Panoho was more than happy to add another win to her bucket -- a bucket that includes seven wins in her last nine appearances on the court. The Australian native went perfect in Pac-12 play before dropping two matches to USC and UCLA.
With yet another close match ending in defeat on the No. 3 court, sophomore Leighann Sahagun is left trying to figure out what she needs to do to make it over the hump. Sahagun has come close to sending matches to three sets in her last three times out on the court.
"I've had so many close matches recently and I've come short every single time. I haven't lost any confidence in myself, I mean I'm competing with the best in the country -- but It's just so annoying because I can't get it," Leighann Sahagun said. "I really need to push myself in practice, really bring it to whoever I face and make myself the toughest opponent they are going to play."
The last match of the day ended unfavorably yet again for ASU, handing senior Hannah James her seventh loss of the season -- the senior has earned a 12-7 record overall playing on the third, fourth and fifth courts.
"There positive from today's match is that we played better in the singles than yesterday. Our kids have been working really hard," McInerney said. "So much of it is belief, and we got on them about that after yesterday against Cal. We came out and started well and played better today."
With only one regular season match up left on the schedule, Arizona State will welcome in-state rival the University of Arizona to Tempe for senior day on Saturday afternoon at 1:00 p.m. Before the match starts, the team will honor the three seniors, Jacqueline Cako, Hannah James and Nicole Smith for their dedication and performance as ASU student athletes.
"The more you play and the more you play good competition the better you get, there's no question about that," McInerney said.

By February 1968, Aretha Franklin had established herself as among the world's premier recording artists, her genre-spanning recordings achieving commercial and critical acclaim, and appealing to mixed-race audiences around the world. The previous year had seen the release of I Never Loved A Man the Way I Love You, her triumphant Atlantic Records debut produced by Jerry Wexler and recorded with an ace backing band at Rick Hall's Fame Studio in Muscle Shoals, Alabama.
The landmark soul recording included Franklin's righteous re-working of Otis Redding's "Respect," which rose to Number One on the Billboard Hot 100, and the inspired candor and groove of the album's title track. That same year, Wexler and engineer Tom Dowd worked with Franklin on her sophomore effort for Atlantic, Aretha Arrives, which included the hit single "Baby I Love You," peaking at Number Four on the Billboard Hot 100.
Less than a year later, in January 1968, Lady Soul arrived, featuring "Chain of Fools" and "A Natural Woman (You Make Me Feel Like)," the latter written by Gerry Goffin and Carole King. Both singles charted in the Billboard Hot 100 Top 10. It was in 1968 that legendary deejay Pervis Spann, "the Blues Man," ceremoniously placed a crown atop Franklin's head during a performance at Chicago's Regal Theater, announcing her as "the Queen of Soul" – a moniker that remains undisputed. Her success and the subsequent adoration of a growing legion of fans set the stage for a momentous homecoming performance.
On February 16, 1968, Franklin led a stellar performance at Detroit's Cobo Hall. At the show, Detroit Mayor Jerome P. Cavanagh declared the date as "Aretha Franklin Day," while local disc jockey Martha Jean "the Queen" Steinberg – who helped host the event – proclaimed Franklin "everybody's soul sister." The evening also included the presentation of plaques and certificates from representatives of music-trade publications, to wit Billboard, Cash Box and Record World, who all recognized Franklin for her contributions and success in 1967. The packed crowd of more than 12,000 people loudly cheered for their Queen, and were treated to a lively 90-minute set from Franklin, who moved between her piano and charismatically owning the stage in a sleek, lime-green dress, her collar and hips wrapped in fanciful feather adornments, while sporting dangling globe earrings and a stylish updo. The Sweet Inspirations, which included vocalist Cissy Houston, backed Franklin that evening, delighting the crowd with soaring versions of "Natural Woman," "Respect" and many more from Franklin's impressive catalog.
Among the evening's many highlights was the appearance of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who had flown to Detroit to attend the concert and recognize Franklin with a special award from the Southern Christian Leadership Council. Franklin's father, the Rev. C.L. Franklin, was active in the SCLC, as well as a fiery, in-demand preacher famous for his impassioned sermons and singing voice. King and Franklin's father were friends and shared a mutual admiration fostered during the height of the Civil Rights Movement, making King's presentation to Aretha both personal and declarative, recognizing the female performer's role in defining African-American identity. Although he had laryngitis and could not speak, King's presence caused a stir. Rita Griffin of the Michigan Chronicle recalled of the moment Franklin and King shared on stage: "[King] never said a word, because he couldn't. But you could just feel the impact his presence had – just him being there... All 12,000 people in that room cared for him – you could feel it."
In the immediate years that followed, Franklin would release a remarkable body of material. Between 1970 and 1972 alone, she released five albums – Spirit in the Dark, This Girl's in Love with You, Live at Filmore West, Young, Gifted and Black, and Amazing Grace –that provided illuminating, poignant commentary on American life and culture – past, present and future.
In 1987, Aretha Franklin became the first woman inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and was honored by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame during the 16th Annual American Music Masters.

The Yellow Jackets made the trip up HWY 85 this past Saturday looking to build on their four game winning streak. Dickinson State also had a streak going winning their last three conference games. From kickoff the Blue Hawks took the momentum early building a 16 point lead going into halftime. The Yellow Jackets would hold Dickinson to 16 points for the rest of the game but could only account for one late score to make the final 16-6 in favor of the Blue Hawks.
The Dickinson State defense kept the Yellow Jacket offense off kilter all game. Unable to get the running game going the Jackets went to the air, but pressure on the quarterback and breakdowns prevented the passing game from getting on track except for a late score in the waning seconds. Although the passing game managed over 200 yards it was the lack of a running game that stood out. Sophomore running back Tanner Ehrlich came into the game Saturday averaging 140 rushing yards per game. Saturday Dickinson State was able to hold Ehrlich to only 48 yards. "Our offensive success is nurtured by our ground attack – the passing game is important, but it has always been set up by an effective run game" said Head Coach John Scott. Junior wide receiver Corey Wheeler had six catches for 108 yards and one touchdown on the afternoon.
The Blue Hawks offense was effective in keeping the Yellow Jackets defense off balance. A good combination of running and passing enabled Dickinson to maintain field position throughout the contest. Dickinson made good on scoring every time they entered Yellow Jacket territory coming up with three field goals and a long touchdown pass.
"We left our game at home. Dickinson is playing at a great level right now and we couldn't match their physical play, emotion, or intensity. They were more than ready for us on Saturday" added Coach Scott. With the loss the Yellow Jackets fall to 5-2 (3-1 DAC) and are tied for second place in the DAC Conference. This weekend they will return home to take on Minot State University at 1:00 PM MST in Lyle Hare Stadium.

Governor Jack Markell is asking Delawareans to join with the residents of Connecticut in observing a moment of silence at 9:30 a.m. Dec. 21 in memory of the victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.
"The people of Delaware have grieved and prayed for the people of Newtown, Conn. We have been joined in that grief by those from around the country and around the world. Governor Malloy of Connecticut has declared a day of mourning on Friday, December 21, and has asked his fellow governors to observe a moment of silence as well. So I request that Delawareans join the moment of silence at 9:30 a.m. on Friday to reflect and remember the lives that were lost so heartbreakingly, and to consider what we can do as individuals, as communities, as a state and as a country to prevent future tragedies. I also suggest that churches or other institutions with the ability to do so toll 26 chimes in memory of the victims."

ZF-8093: Remove HTML comments from HeadScript
So removing "//" wouldn't break any applications written with Zend Framework.
HTML5 explicitly says
Having this code in there causes no problems but removing it could cause problems with older browsers.
@Jon: I disagree. The comments do cause problems if you try to use a scripting language which doesn't use {{//}} for comments. I cannot, for example, use CoffeeScript in this manner as line comments start with {{#}}.
I propose making the comment start ({{//}}) editable via mutators so those of us who want to use other languages or adhere to the HTML5 spec can do so.
I would like to reopen this issue as these comments bit me when I needed a script tag with a jquery template as the type/content... The // and // will then be seen as part of the template and render incorrectly.
I propose to have an option to disable this automatic escaping of the script. It should default to the current behavior...
something like an '_disableScriptEscape' property (perhaps set/read in the same way as the setAllowArbitraryAttributes and arbitraryAttributesAllowed methods) although it should not be a 'global' instruction for all script tags, just the current one added...

Besides enjoying the sunshine (where? read this about great patios), set yourself up for more food fun by making these recommended reservations and buys.
1. Buy Tastemakers Salt Lake City tickets
I know we're sponsoring it and all, but that's not why I'm recommending it—we're not hte only sponsors. I see this as the seed of Salt Lake City's own downtown food event that can grow over the years and become a destination as more and more people realize what great food we have in this city. It's a stroll-and-taste showcasing 16 restaurants with live music right in dowtown SLC. A (cheap!) $20 passport gets you tastes and sips at all participating restaurant, PLUS special deals throughout the summer. Buy yours here.
2. Eat some nitro ice cream at the new Sub-Zero
Some call it a passing fad; others (myself included) think that liquid nitrogen ice cream will be a permanent option in the roster of frozen delights. Come see what everyone's talking about at Sub Zero's new Murray store—its grand opening is this weekend. Murray Sub Zero Ice Cream, 5612 S. 900 East Murray.
3. Reserve seats at Carver's Epic Beer dinner
What was formerly a chain steakhouse has become part of the LaSalle Group of restaurants, meaning chef Billy Sotelo oversees Executive Chef Dave Hester's menu. On Wednesday, May 18 at 6:30 p.m., he's cooking up special dishes to go with Epic beers in a five-course tasting menu. Cost is $40 for the dinner and $25 for optional beer pairings. A taste of the menu:
Black and Blue Elk Tartar: Quail egg yolk, watercress, black truffles, brioche toast; paired with Imperial Red
Grain-Scented Hanger Steak: Fingerling potatoes, chimichurri, wilted arugula; paired with Spiral Jetty
Cornmeal-Crusted Fried Rockfish: Hush puppies, spicy tartar, gaufrettes; paired with Brown Rice Ale
Pistachio and Amano Chocolate Nib Tart: Oreo crust, Amano ganache; paired with 825 State St. Stout
4. Reserve seats at Zucca's Simcic Winery dinner
On Tuesday, May 17 from 7 to 9, winery owner Marjan Simcic and chef Elio Acanu will host a six-course pairing dinner featuring Simcic wines from the Slovenian-Italian border. Zucca as one of only a handful of US restaurants where Simcic is holding these tastings. Food is $ 45; wine is $ 20 for 12 pours.   Call 801.475.7077. A menu sample:

5. Sign up for a wine class in the latest WSET series
The Wine and Spirits Education Trust is the largest wine and spirits education and certification program in the world. Here, the courses are only available through Jimmy Santangelo's Wine Academy of Utah, a division of his Virtual Sommelier. I took—and passed!—the intermediate course; it was challenging but enormously interesting to anyone with the slightest interest in wine. This session for the first time Santangelo is offering the entry-level foundation course which you can take as a one day extravaganza or as 3 hour-long classes over 3 weeks.
6. Taste some new wines
Jimmy Santangelo, the Virtual Sommelier and WSET instructor, recommends this Rioja: the 2007 Ramon Bilbao Crianza, 100% Tempranillo grapes for $16.99. Tasting notes: Medium body; ruby color; aroma of raspberry seed with a touch of wet leather (that's a good thing); a finish of red berry and cherry skin-like tannin.â€
Tracey Thompson, veep of Vine Lore, calls this her new "BBQ wineâ€â€"The Chook Shiraz-Viognier 2009 from McLaren Vale and Langhorne Creek for $16.99. Tasting notes:  Medium-full body; garnet purple color; it has intense cherry and crushed blackberry aromas; high acidity and medium-firm fine tannins; long finish.â€

Lift truck user survey: How customers acquire, maintain and replenish their fleets
April 01, 2012 - MMH Editorial
Purchase vs. lease
For instance, 60% of respondents indicate they typically buy equipment outright, although the average number of units acquired through direct purchase is 52%. However, the average number of leased units is 48%, although just 21% of respondents say they typically lease. McKean predicts the third group of respondents, the 19% who said their decision to buy or lease depends on the lift truck and the situation, will likely grow in coming years.
"Those are the companies that are thinking as opposed to reacting," says McKean. Some respondents cited corporate policy to only buy or only lease equipment, a practice McKean strongly cautions against.
"One of the good things about financing is it forces someone to plan for an end, when each lift truck needs to be retired, replaced or recycled," he says. "Buying does not require that discipline and you can end up with customers with equipment from companies that no longer exist. For some customers, a lift truck might have 20,000 hours and $100,000 in repairs, but if it is on a long-term depreciation schedule then it is locked-in and those numbers are irrelevant."
As opposed to blanket policies, McKean recommends customers with more than two trucks establish a core fleet. "They should be thinking about planning in one way for the core fleet and planning in a different way for whatever else might be needed to support seasonal fluctuations in demand," he says. "There are not enough companies looking at the concept of a core fleet, which can save a lot of time and money."
Pairing the right acquisition practice to the right truck begins with improving fleet visibility, which can often require capital outlays, process improvements and new technology. The study reflects a tepid growth in customer interest in fleet management technology, yet a budding interest that McKean has also seen among his clients.
"When a customer who has always bought suddenly comes in and asks about financing, something has happened within their corporation," says McKean, who says these decisions typically follow the customers' collection of new fleet metrics. "In the past five years, we have customers that are looking for data beyond the hour meter for the first time."

Youtube moments: Peyton Manning's career will go on
As part of my first-year hazing on the Miami Dolphins beat, I've been asked to post this parody video of Peyton Manning.
By now, the die-hard Dolphin fan no doubt has watched this instant classic numerous times. It's sure to bring some smiles, and maybe even some tears.
One thing it will definitely do is chew up some time as you sit patiently awaiting the next move of the former Indianapolis Colts quarterback.
And if you like the movie "Titanic," or Celine Dion – bonus!

Charly is a wild-child drawn to Sam Roberts, an idealistic member of the LDS church. Opposites attract in this emotional film about the trials that need to be overcome when faith isn't shared in a relationship.
The hit LDS film Charly is celebrating its 10-year anniversary with a return to the big screen.
Opposites attract in this tear jerker. Charly walks on the wild side while Sam Roberts is conservative, idealistic member of the Mormon church. In spite of their differences, some people are simply meant to be together. But the relationship isn't entirely smooth sailing.
"It's a film about overcoming trials and differences when beliefs aren't shared," says Nathan Smith, Project Manager and Campaign Strategist at Fluid, the full service ad agency handling PR for the movie's encore appearance.
West Ridge Academy is sponsoring the rerelease. "The message of West Ridge and the message of the film are parallell in many ways," Smith says. Both focus on faith as a catalyst for positive change. West Ridge Academy is a non-denominational school that helps young men and women ages 9–18 overcome trials in their lives through faith. A portion of the revenue generated by ticket sales and DVD sales will be donated to the West Ridge Academy Scholarship program.
Smith says the film is uplifting but people should be prepared to dab their eyes. "They should probably bring some tissues, it is rather an emotional film," Smith says.
To promote the film, there are a number of contests and promotions happening right now. Click here for more information. Starting Aug. 10 the film will run in select theaters throughout Utah.

Better companies make better products, says the B Lab ad. B Lab is a nonprofit association leading an effort to create a new class of businesses called a B (Benefit) corporation. A B corporation modifies the company's legal framework to integrate verifiable social change with the usual goals of financial responsibility.
In other words, you have to do good things and you have to prove it. In the process, B corporations are changing the definition of success and giving lessons to marketers in all businesses.
A recent PBS NewsHour segment showed how B Labs manages a certification process that audits B corporations. The companies are measured against their stated social and environmental goals and against a set of broader principles of transparency, accountability, and performance. The specific language that each company uses depends on the state where the corporation is chartered. Seven states and Canada currently offer B corporation options with legislation pending in several more.
BBMG, a marketing company and an early B corporation, enlisted its 2000-member private community to crowdsource the development of the B corporation ad campaign. BBMG includes among its customers Walmart, Samsung, and Williams-Sonoma.
The structure of a B corporation offers both protections and opportunities for the company and its shareholders. Corporate officers are immunized against shareholder suits on matters of profits. Traditional corporations have a legal obligation to maximize returns to the investors. While many C corporations support non-business interests such as education, environmental, or community support activities, those commitments can change quickly based on shareholder sentiment.
The Wall Street Journal recounts the tale of Ben and Jerrys Ice Cream being forced to sell to the highest bidder. When privately held by the founders, the Vermont ice cream maker experimented with a wide variety of business models as well as innovating in their marketing and products. Pressure from shareholders overcame the wishes of co-founder Ben Cohen, and led to Unilever buying the ice cream maker in 2000.
Within the new B Corporation framework, companies develop products for a range of markets:
So, what can marketers at traditional companies learn from benefit corporations?
Purpose. Think about more than yourself and your traditional market. Colleague Dawn Lyons wrote about opportunities for brands to reach the Muslim market. Starbucks and Yum brands use their money and brand recognition to sustain programs that create jobs and feed the hungry.
Accountability. Treating your people well is a good start. The enthusiasm that shows up in the Zappos customer service Twitter feed shows a place where the service people can solve problems and have fun with customers.
Transparency. BBMG reports that barely 1 percent of surveyed consumers believe what marketers say. Third-party quality and customer satisfaction assessments can demonstrate that youve done what you said, and that what you said was important.
Furthermore, social media now gives marketers instant feedback about products and services. You cant hide. Even when things are rough, honesty and clear action can rescue brands.
The bottom line is the bottom line. It works. Goldman Sachs reported in 2007 that companies with strong Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) assessments outperform other stocks by as much as 25 percent. You can do well while doing good.

Born in Birmingham, England, on December 3, 1948, John Michael "Ozzy" Osbourne started his carreer as a musician in the late 60s, as he, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward banded together, seeking to escape the trappings of factory life in their shared hometown. The foursome began to take shape as a blues band – influenced by the likes of Led Zeppelin and Cream – calling themselves Earth Blues Company (later shortened to Earth). Osbourne channeled his love of soul music (particularly Sam and Dave) to his duties as frontman, but the group took a tectonic shift after Osbourne penned a song about Butler's encounter with a sinister spectre, calling the song "Black Sabbath." The band eventually took Black Sabbath as their name – and the title of their 1970 debut album. The group would go on to release such heavy metal classics as Paranoid, Master of Reality, Black Sabbath, Vol. 4 and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath, effectively defining the heavy metal genre and making Osbourne the voice of it. Osbourne's delivery was melodic and well-pitched, and he never resorted to the sort of histrionic screaming that became a hallmark of metal's lesser lights.
Osbourne took his heavy metal charge ...
More than any other musician, Jimi Hendrix realized the fullest range of sound that could be obtained from an amplified instrument. His boundless drive, technical ability and creative application of such effects as wah-wah and distortion forever transformed the sound of rock and roll. Hendrix helped usher in the age of psychedelia with his 1967 debut, Are You Experienced, and the impact of his brief but meteoric career on popular music continues to be felt. With such an incredible catalog of work, it's impossible to overstate the impact of the 1992 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee. The Rock Hall selected 10 songs that we feel are essential listening.

TUCSON, Ariz. – A balanced offensive output and some solid defense lifted the Arizona volleyball team to a 3-0 (25-17, 25-15, 25-14) sweep of Eastern Kentucky on day two of the Arizona Desert Classic, Saturday morning inside McKale Center.
With the win, the Wildcats improved to 4-1 on the season and a perfect 2-0 thus far in the Arizona Desert Classic. Meanwhile, Eastern Kentucky fell to 4-2 overall and 0-2 in the tournament.
Nine different Wildcats had at least one kill in the match, led by a match-high nine kills from Madi Kingdon and Rachel Rhoades. Kingdon also added seven digs, while Rhoades had two blocks. Freshman Penina Snuka dished out 37 assists with five digs and two kills. Candace Nicholson and Ronni Lewis led the Wildcats on the defensive end with 14 digs and 11 digs, respectively. Halli Amaro and Taylor Arizobal each had seven kills as they both hit .375 or better. Jane Croson came off the bench to provide six kills and six digs.
The Wildcats hit .306 for the match, while limiting Eastern Kentucky to just .054 hitting for the contest. Arizona also out-blocked EKU, 5-1.
Arizona jumped out to a quick 12-4 lead in the opening set thanks to several kills and a service ace by Kingdon. The Wildcats maintained the lead for the entirety of the set and they win on for the 25-17 victory. The Arizona defense was once again solid as it held EKU to just .026 hitting, while the Cats hit .222. Kingdon led the Arizona offense with five kills in the set, while Nicholson had six digs to lead the defense.
Much like the opening set, the Wildcats stormed out to an early lead. Arizona took a 14-6 lead to open the set thanks to several early kills by Rhoades. The Cats never looked back as they cruised to a 25-15 victory to take a 2-0 lead in the match. Rhoades led the Arizona offense with six kills in the frame, while Lewis had five digs to lead the defense.
The Wildcats coasted to a 25-14 victory in the third set to clinch the match. Croson led a very balanced Arizona offense in the set with five kills. Amaro, Arizobal and Rhoades had three kills apiece. Croson and Nicholson each had five digs to pace the defense. The UA hit an impressive .452 in the set, while holding EKU to just a .161 attack efficiency.
Eastern Kentucky was led by Ashley Edmond with seven kills and seven digs, while Dena Ott led the Colonels on the defensive end with 12 digs.
Arizona will close out the Arizona Desert Classic tonight against Utah Valley at 7 p.m. A win would give the Wildcats the tournament title.

'He saved many; now he's home': The vet who could help everybody couldn't help self
Associated Press, Associated Press, Pete Linnerooth
He had a knack for soothing soldiers who'd just seen their buddies killed by bombs. He knew how to comfort medics sickened by the smell of blood and troops haunted by the screams of horribly burned Iraqi children.
Capt. Peter Linnerooth was an Army psychologist. He counseled soldiers during some of the fiercest fighting in Iraq. Hundreds upon hundreds sought his help. For nightmares and insomnia. For shock and grief. And for reaching that point where they just wanted to end it all.
Linnerooth did such a good job his Army comrades dubbed him The Wizard. His "magic" was deceptively simple: an instant rapport with soldiers, an empathetic manner, a big heart.
For a year in one of the bloodiest stretches of the Iraq war, Linnerooth met with soldiers 60, 70 hours a week. Sometimes he'd hop on helicopters or join convoys, risking mortars and roadside bombs. Often, though, the soldiers came to his shoebox-size "office" at Camp Liberty in Baghdad.
There, they'd encounter a raspy-voiced, broad-shouldered guy who blasted Motorhead, Iron Maiden and other ear-shattering heavy metal, favored four-letter words and inhaled Marlboro Reds — once even while conducting a "stop smoking" class. He was THAT persuasive.
Linnnerooth could be tough, even gruff at times, but he also was a gentle soul, a born storyteller, a proud dad who decorated his quarters with his kids' drawings and photos. He carried his newborn daughter's shoes on his ruck sack for good luck.
Linnerooth left Iraq in 2007, a few months short of the end of his 15-month tour. He couldn't take it anymore. He'd heard enough terrible stories. He'd seen enough dead and dying.
He became a college professor in Minnesota, then counseled vets in California and Nevada. He'd done much to help the troops, but in his mind, it wasn't enough. He worried about veteran suicides. He wrote about professional burnout. He grappled with PTSD, depression and anger, his despair spiraling into an overdose. He divorced and married again. He fought valiantly to get his life in order.
But he couldn't make it work.
As the new year dawned, Pete Linnerooth, Bronze Star recipient, admired Army captain, devoted father, turned his gun on himself. He was 42.
He was, as one buddy says, the guy who could help everybody — everybody but himself.
He liked to jokingly compare himself to an intrepid explorer stranded in one of the most remote corners of the earth.
Linnerooth's best buddy, Brock McNabb, recalls how they'd laugh and find parallels to the plight of Ernest Shackleton, whose ship, Endurance, became trapped in the Antarctic during an early 20th-century expedition.
This was the desert, of course, but the analogy seemed apt: Both seemed impossible missions — Linnerooth and two teammates tended to the psychological needs of thousands — and both groups depended on each other to survive.
"There's no cavalry to save the day," McNabb explains. "You ARE the cavalry."
McNabb and a third soldier, Travis Landchild, were the tight-knit mental health crew in charge of the 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division in the Baghdad area. They were there when the surge began and the death toll escalated.
Landchild says the three dubbed themselves "a dysfunctional tripod." Translation: One of the three "legs" was always broken, or stressed out, and without fail, "the other two would step up and support that person."
They counseled guys who'd witnessed Humvees vaporize before them, young medics dealing with double amputations, women sexually assaulted in combat zones. There were soldiers suffering from paranoia, bipolar disorder and anxiety. And then there were those who were suicidal.

The Best of the Beehive for the fisherman (or woman) in your life.

The Fisherman Superhero: David Needles
The Angler
David Needles and his crew can guide you to Utah's least-known fishing spots. "Where we go, we're usually the only ones on the river," he says. His secret spots are in Carbon and Emery Counties, around Manti and deep in Utah's southern mountain ranges. 7972 S. 2760 West, West Jordan, 801-864-6083,
Beehive Trout Tour: Utah's best spots for catching the trout your heart desires.
Deer Creek Reservoir
Large rainbow trout were planted here last fall, but few were caught due to limited winter fishing. So big rainbows are biting.
Strawberry Reservoir
Utah's number one fishing spot for good reasons, including giving up some large cutts.
Green River
The river is filled with browns but limited to artificial lures and flies only. So more skill equals more fish.
Uinta Mountain lakes
The Uintas offer a lot of fishing opportunities. The brooks aren't the largest, but they are the most plentiful.
Trophy and Lake
Flaming Gorge
Hands down, the best spot to win trophy mackinaw and lake trout. The gorge also has tons of smaller lake trout for a great meal.

ZF-4020: Zend_Db_Profiler_Firebug with long headers
When my header exceed 5000 characters, It is break into multiple parts. All parts seems to go out from my server (tested with my ZendStudio). They are not correctly combined on my Firefox (FF3.0, Firebug 1.2b07, FirePHP 0.1.1).
This looks like an issue with the FirePHP extension. I'll keep the ticket here and update it for convenience.
Scheduling for RC3
See FirePHP issue http://code.google.com/p/firephp/… for updates.
This is an issue with the FirePHP Plugin.
The problem is caused by headers being trimmed if there is whitespace at the beginning or end of the header value.
I will be updating the wildfire protocol to include a "|" character at the beginning and end of the header values to ensure whitespace is not trimmed.
This is OK for me. ZF SVN 11073, FF3.0.1, Firebug 1.2.0, FirePHP 0.1.2
Great to hear that it works for you now. Thanks for reporting the issue and the follow-up.
Updating for the 1.6.0 release.

CLAS Research
Research is a major activity at all levels within the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, from undergraduate research experiences, thesis and dissertation work of graduate students and faculty scholarship. The research activities of this college are more diverse than those of any other college on campus and have gained the college a national and international reputation.
Our aim is to have an integrative research website for the benefit of CLAS faculty and students. Please share your suggestions for this site with the Associate Dean for Natural Sciences and Mathematics, 392-2230 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Whether mapping genes, probing elemental particles or monitoring global warming, more and more scientists rely on massive data vaults located at universities and institutions around the world. Now, researchers at 10 Florida universities have the infrastructure for a computer network that ensures that capability – one faster than any other education-based network in the Southeast and among the top in the nation in speed and capacity.
UF Study: People
More Ambivalent than Pro-or Con- About Gay Rights
Portraying the gay rights conflict as a sharply divided battle between homosexuals and social conservatives ignores the ambivalent feelings held by the vast majority of people in the middle, a new University of Florida study finds. Nearly three-quarters of Floridians surveyed said they are "of two minds" about one or more issues concerning gay rights, and the results suggest the ambivalence is tied in part to conflicting values, said Stephen Craig, a UF political science professor who led the research.
to the Heart of Medical Imaging
The heart, the powerful and unceasing engine of the circulatory system, can be a mystery. Advanced medical imaging has replaced the need for invasive surgery for an up-close view of the organ, but even the best technology leaves doctors and researchers with gaps in their knowledge. University of Florida Mathematics Professor Bernard Mair , in collaboration with David R. Gilland, an associate professor in the College of Engineering's Department of Nuclear and Radiological Engineering, has received a three-year, $600,000 grant from the National Institutes of Health to develop algorithms to fill those gaps.
Named UF Research Foundation Professors for 2005
The University of Florida Research Foundation has named 33 faculty members who have a distinguished current record of research and a strong research agenda that is likely to lead to continuing distinction in their fields as UFRF Professors for 2005-2008.
Lends UF a Hand
When a gator wants to help a turtle he calls on a mouse. Not just any mouse, but the mouse, Mickey Mouse. And it's not just any gator either, but the University of Florida, home to the Archie Carr Center for Sea Turtle Research. The center is striving to find innovative ways to save and increase the earth's endangered sea turtle populations and has received support from the Disney Wildlife Conservation Fund over the years.
Catch a Thief
Criminology Professor Richard Hollinger directs the Security Research Project and is a leading expert in loss prevention. The project is best known for its annual National Retail Security Survey, which for the past 14 years has polled the vice presidents of security and loss prevention at all the major retail department stores, discount chains, specialty stores, pharmacies and major grocery stores in the US.

Cervical cancer is a type of cancer that occurs in the cells of the cervix — the lower part of the uterus that connects to the vagina.
Various strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV), a sexually transmitted infection, play a role in causing most cervical cancer.
When exposed to HPV, a woman's immune system typically prevents the virus from doing harm. In a small group of women, however, the virus survives for years, contributing to the process that causes some cells on the surface of the cervix to become cancer cells.
You can reduce your risk of developing cervical cancer by having screening tests and receiving a vaccine that protects against HPV infection.
