Swimming And Diving Teams Pounce Panthers
Oct. 24, 2003
Charleston, Ill.- If Friday's season-opening meet against Eastern Illinois was any indication, the UIC men's and women's swimming and diving teams are in for a strong 2003-2004 campaign.
The Flames defeated the Panthers' men's and women's teams handily at the Lantz Natatorium on Friday night. The men's team earned a 143-100 team victory, while the women's squad downed EIU with an outstanding 150-95 win.
The UIC men (1-0) earned first-place finishes in nine events, while the women's team (1-0) took first in ten races.
On the men's side, sophomore Ari Bernstein led the way for the men with three first-place wins and a second-place finish. Bernstein earned two wins in relay action, teaming with Adan Jimenez, Alexander Marinof, and newcomer Blake Booher to win the 200-yard medley relay in 1:37.54. Bernstein anchored another relay victory in the 200-yard freestyle with Jimenez, Bill Hare, and LeRoy Stevens at a time of 1:34.44.
Bernstein displayed his mastery in the butterfly, taking the 100-yard fly event in 51.70. The sophomore from River Forest, Ill.owns the UIC school record in the event at a time of 49.76 set in 2003.
Senior Enric Claret was in top form, taking first in the 200-yard individual medley with a time of 1:57.87. Claret also took second in the 500-yard freestyle with a time of 4:50.48.
The UIC men debuted nine freshmen in various events, with many of them making significant impacts at the start. Mark Pappalardo took first in the one-meter diving event and placed third on the three-meter board, while fellow diver Mike Horwitz took first in the three-meter event and followed Pappalardo on the one-meter board with a second-place finish.
Booher also contributed heavily in his first collegiate meet, helping the Flames take the 200-yard medlet relay while finishing third individually in the 50-yard freestyle (22.12). Freshman diver Ryan Fitzer looked excellent in his first two diving events, placing second in the three-meter dive and taking fourth on the one-meter board.
Other first-place finishers for the men included 2003 standout Stevens, who won the 100-yard freestyle in 48.00, as well as Hare and junior Stefan Staev, who took first the 100-yard backstroke and the 100-yard breaststroke events, repectively.
The Flames' women's team looked sharp against the Panthers throughout the meet. Even with eight freshmen debuting on Friday, UIC was overpowering from the get-go.
In relay action, team co-captains Stephanie Murphy and Stephanie Donovan anchored the Flames to victory in the 200-yard medley race. Murphy teamed with junior Alicia Perry and newcomers Jessica Darud and Kelly Hyatt to finish first in the event at 1:54.99, while Donovan led teammates Carlie Schoaf, Maria Ortiz, and freshman Jenny Gessford to third.
Sophomores Laura Martensen and Aisha Williams, coming off tremendous rookie years in 2003, turned in solid performances to open their second-year campaigns. Martensen won the 1000-yard freestyle in 10:52 and took second in the 200-yard IM and the 500-yard freestyle, while Williams scored a pair of wins in the 100-yard butterfly (1:01.26) and the 50-yard freestyle (25.36).
Two-time NCAA Zone C Diving Championship qualifier Caitlin Carey opened her junior season in usual outstanding form, taking the three-meter dive and finishing third in the one-meter event.
UIC's freshmen began their collegiate careers with immediate impact. Diver Sarah Economides won her first event by taking the one-meter board, while Gessford and Emily Biancalana finished one-two in the 100-yard freestyle.
The Panthers' men dropped to 1-2 on the season, while the women fall to 0-3.
The Flames are back in action on Sunday, Oct. 26th. The UIC swimming teams will travel to Evanston, Ill., to compete in the Northwestern Relays, while the Flames' diving squads will host the UIC Diving Invitational at the UIC Natatorium. Both events begin at noon.

Alright, so everyone knows how now a days we have all this stem cell research and shit. Well, Are our leading scientists idiots or am I missing something? Granted, I know there a bit more to it, but I'd think that by now we'd be cloning organs and shit.
I mean, everyone's bitching about how ya need to be an organ donor, and the need for organs for transplants because of cancers. Why not just clone the organs? Get people to take the tests to find out if they're compatible or w/e, and if they are, take a few cell, clone an organ, and everyone will be happy. and alive too.

That thinking was behind the 2016 GOP presidential prospect's visit to a private Catholic school Tuesday to promote school choice for lower-income and minority students.
"We could use a few more votes," Paul told reporters after an hourlong talk with students, parents and faculty at Josephinum Academy, an all-girls Catholic high school. "We have to figure out as Republicans how to get our message to the people who favor charter schools and favor choice in schools, and say, look, we do care about your kids."
Paul was scheduled to take his message of a more inclusive Republican Party to the University of Chicago, after meeting with African-American leaders in the city and discussing economic development.
Paul, who is weighing a 2016 GOP presidential bid, has called for widening the party's appeal to include more racial and ethnic minorities and younger voters, a clear majority of which President Obama won in 2008 and 2012.
The libertarian-leaning son of former U.S. Rep. Ron Paul called opponents of federal money for school choice "dead-enders," whom he described as Democrats and elements of the education establishment, especially teachers unions.
"We need to say, hey, we want to empower teachers," Paul told the audience of about 300 at the school on the city's near north side. The student body is predominantly racial and ethnic minorities. "You can't have it all coming down from Washington."
Education has taken a back seat to the economy, the national debt, national security and health care in recent elections. After all, only about 1 percent of the federal budget is spent specifically on education.
But Paul said he expects it to play a larger role in the upcoming election, as a proxy for the scope of government, which Republicans are divided on how tightly it should be contained.
He told reporters after the event he wished education was controlled solely by state and local government. But as long as some federal money goes to education, he would like it to go to low-income students, and not the school districts.
Education "needs to be a big issue" for the 2016 presidential campaign, because it reaches out to some communities that haven't been listening to Republicans, he said.
Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, who also is weighing a 2016 GOP presidential bid, has been a proponent of school choice and headlined an education event in Arizona on Monday.

TEMPE, Ariz. - Freshman RJ Ybarra hit a game-winning single to left-center field to give the 21st-ranked Arizona State University baseball team a 6-5 walk-off win over No. 11 Oregon in 11 innings on Friday night in front of 3,481 fans at Packard Stadium in Tempe, Ariz.
Catcher Max Rossiter led off the 11th with a single to left field and advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt by left fielder Jake Peevyhouse. The Ducks intentionally walked right fielder Trever Allen to bring Ybarra to the plate with one out and he drove a base hit into the outfield to secure his second game-winning hit in the past three games after his two-out single in the top of the ninth gave ASU the win at Wichita State on April 2.
Head coach Tim Esmay earned his 150th win at ASU as the Sun Devils (18-8-1, 5-5) scored five of their runs with two outs and have now driven in 21 of their last 33 runs with two outs dating back to March 28 against UCLA.
Right-hander Ryan Burr (1-1) earned his first career win after he gave up just one hit and struck out two over the final 1 1/3 innings. Left-hander Matt Dunbar, who took over with the bases loaded and two outs in the eighth inning, induced a groundout to preserve the tie and allowed just two base runners on no hits in the ensuing ninth and 10th innings.
ASU took a four-run lead into the top of the eighth, but starting right-hander Trevor Williams, who did not allow an earned run through seven innings, gave up four on five consecutive hits to start the frame as the Ducks (22-7, 8-2) tied the game, 5-5.
The Sun Devils grabbed a 2-0 lead in the third inning on a pair of two-out hits as center fielder Kasey Coffman laced a double to center field and third baseman Michael Benjamin followed with a single to left field.
Oregon countered with a run in the top of the fourth to cut its deficit to one, but ASU scored three runs with two outs in the fifth frame on a solo home run to left field by Benjamin and a two-run triple by Peevyhouse to push its lead to four, 5-1. Williams finished the game with four strikeouts and one walk in 7 1/3.
UO starting right-hander Jake Reed took a no-decision after he allowed five runs on seven hits to go with three strikeouts and four walks in 5 2/3 innings. Left-hander Christian Jones (0-1) took his first loss of the season after he surrendered the game-winning single in the only inning he pitched.
Up Next:
The Sun Devils take on Oregon for the second game of the weekend series at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday at Packard Stadium. The game will be broadcast on NBC Sports Radio AM 1060 or through the All-Access player on thesundevils.com. Fans can also follow the team on Twitter at @ASU_Baseball for live scoring and updates from the weekend, and check thesundevils.com for stats, notes and more.
Game Notes:
The Sun Devils now have six wins this season over top-ranked opponents...ASU moved to 12-5 all-time against the Ducks...James McDonald had 12 assists in the game, which is the most since former ASU shortstop Deven Marrero had eight on Feb. 26, 2012, in a win over UC Riverside...the Devils loaded the bases with one out in the bottom of the 10th.

I both love and loathe democracy. Love it, because, as Churchill pointed out, its the worst possible system of government except for all of the others. And loathe it, because it's hard work.
Choosing the top-of-the-ballot candidates isn't hard: the airwaves and blogosphere are flooded with noise about the Minnesota governor's race, and even the relatively safe DFL 5th district seat has generated some headlines because some Tea Party extremists don't like Muslims. And the local state representatives are easy for me: I think of my state representative as the father of kids I know from after-school, park, and Cub Scouts activities, and I've seen my state senator enough times in the neighborhood that she's familiar to me; I can't say the same for either of their challengers.
But other elected positions–Water and Soil Conservation, School Board, and Three Rivers Parks–are hard ones to learn about. There's not much information out there about the candidates, but these are potentially risky spots to overlook. Our beloved Michele Bachmann, for example, got her start in Stillwater school politics: these positions can be the springboard for scary candidates to bounce their way higher up the political ladder without the scrutiny that would stop them earlier in the process.
In trying to figure out who should get my vote tomorrow in some of these races, I've been relying on whatever endorsements I can find, on the assumption that an organization won't endorse someone who might besmirch their name. And an endorsement from someone with whom I disagree can be as useful as an endorsement from a someone with whom I tend to be in consort.
In the latter category, a right-wing rant against Amber Collett, running for the Hennepin County Soil and Water board, clinched my vote: she has experience with Transit for Livable Communities and the TapMPLS water program, so she gets my nod.
For the other Soil and Water seat, I couldn't find nearly as much information. Stephanie Zvan endorses David Rickert, though not resoundingly (she notes only that he has more experience than the others who are running). But she's picked most of the top-of-the-ballot names I plan to vote for, so I'm reasonably sure that Rickert isn't a nutcase, so I'll probably vote for him. (Faint praise, no?)
The Three Rivers Park seat is a tougher one for me. The incumbent, Mark Haggerty, made some news last spring when he opposed the park district's plan to stop selling bottled water:
I don't like government and I don't like being told what to do. I don't think we should stop selling plastic bottled water until we have an alternative.
Putting aside for a moment the wisdom of the bottle ban (and I do think it's wise: there are lots of reasons that bottled water is a bad idea): "I don't like government"? WTF?
If you "don't like government," what are you doing in government? This attitude puts me in mind of Thomas Frank's The Wrecking Crew, in which anti-government ideologues make their arguments against good government into a self-fulfilling prophecy. Add to that the fact that Mr. Haggerty's campaign domain redirects to his law firm's web site, and this has all the hallmarks of someone who's against the whole idea of public parks running for a spot on the public park board.
And yet he has the endorsement of the AFL-CIO, many of the other board members, and DFL Rep. Sandra Peterson, playing havoc with my candidate-selection strategies. His opponent, Joan Peters, has no endorsements and no web presence; she's a board member of the Conservation Corps, which is a point in her favor for me, but I haven't found much else about her. What to do?
I think in this case I'm going with Joan Peters: there's just barely enough information about her to convince me that she's not a crackpot, and there are just enough indicators that Haggerty's approach to the philosophy of the county parks isn't entirely consistent with mine. I could, of course, be wrong on both counts and live to regret my choice; if so, I'll just add it to the bitter lessons taught by the worst system of government except for all the rest.

Not to sound all Grinch, but that incessant ringing of Salvation Army bells can sometimes put a damper on our holiday spirit. Thank goodness there are real-life Santas out there to bring back the cheer.
Today reports the 2011 Salvation Army Red Kettle Campaign has already brought in some pretty impressive donations, from a $5,000 diamond ring to gold and silver coins.
"It's a true Christmas spirit when you get the coins, just because somebody cares enough to really make a sacrifice to donate," Steve Schroeder, development director for the Salvation Army in Bloomington, Indiana, told WEEK-TV, according to the news show.
Want to give, but no cash or jewels on hand? No problem. The news show adds that bell-ringers, who helped drum up more than $142 million for the needy in 2010, will be happy to take donations via credit card–reading smartphones.
Think there's any chance they could exchange those bells for a nice holiday ring tone?

Himantura leoparda
|Scientific Name:
|Himantura leoparda
|Species Authority:
|Manjaji-Matsumoto & Last, 2008
Common Name(s):
|Taxonomic Source(s):
|Manjaji-Matsumoto, B.M. and Last, P.R. 2008. Himantura leoparda sp. nov., a new whipray (Myliobatoidei: Dasyatidae) from the Indo-Pacific. In: Last, P.R., White, W.T. and Pogonoski, J.J. (eds), Descriptions of new Australian Chondrichthyans, pp. 293-301. CSIRO Marine and Atmospheric Research Paper No 022.
|Taxonomic Notes:
The Leopard Whipray (Himantura leoparda) is a recently described species of whipray closely related and similar in shape and dorsal disc pattern to the Reticulate Whipray (H. uarnak) and Bleeker's Variegated Whipray (H. undulata). These three species are from the 'uarnak' species-complex, a subgroup of mainly reticulated, ocellated or spotted whiprays. The Leopard Whipray can be distinguished by its unique arrangement of midscapular denticles and the leopard-like markings on the dorsal surface of adults and large specimens. Juveniles of the three species are born at different sizes and vary slightly in colour patterns and denticle shapes (Manjaji-Matsumoto and Last 2008, Last and Stevens 2009). Taxonomic work is currently ongoing to more clearly define the sister species relationships (Peter Last pers. comm. 2010).
|Red List Category & Criteria:
|Vulnerable A2cd+3cd+4cd ver 3.1
|Year Published:
|Date Assessed:
|Rigby, C., Moore, A. & Rowat, D.
|Kyne, P.M. & Ebert, D.A.
The Leopard Whipray (Himantura leoparda) is possibly widely distributed in the Indo-West Pacific in mainly coastal inshore waters. It is currently known to range from Malaysia to the Japanese Archipelago and south to northern Australia, however there are ongoing taxonomic issues that are being investigated; the outcomes of which may affect the known distributional range. Its biology is poorly known, partly due to confusion with other members of the 'uarnak' species-complex. This species is commercially valuable throughout Southeast Asia where it is taken as utilised bycatch in a range of commercial and artisanal fisheries including demersal trawl and tangle/gill nets, dropline and longline fisheries, and Danish seine fisheries. In recent decades, demersal fishing pressure has increased in both capacity and effort and is intense throughout this species' inshore range in Southeast Asia. Fishing pressure is also very heavy in the Arafura Sea region; previously more than 600 trawlers operated and although the numbers of currently active trawlers is unclear, there are still high levels of Indonesian trawl fishing in the area. This level of exploitation is of great concern to the sustainability of Leopard Whipray populations in the Arafura Sea outside the Australian Fishing Zone. This species' preference for inshore coastal waters means it is also threatened by extensive habitat degradation and destructive fishing practices throughout a large part of its range. Although species-specific data are not available, given the species' high levels of exploitation, extensive habitat degradation and its large size, significant population declines are suspected to have occurred and are likely to be ongoing in Southeast Asia.
Conversely, this species has refuge from fishing pressure in northern Australia, where fishing pressure is light, bycatch mitigation measures are in place and it is not commercially utilised and consequently is considered at low risk. While fisheries in northern Australia remain well managed this species is assessed as Least Concern regionally in Australia. Globally, it is assessed as Vulnerable on the basis of suspected declines as a result of high levels of exploitation and habitat degradation in large areas of its range. These assessments should be revisited if and when there is any new taxonomic and distributional information as this may affect the fishing pressure to which this species is exposed.
|Range Description:
The Leopard Whipray is possibly widespread in the Indo-West Pacific. Its distributional range is based on current knowledge, however there are ongoing taxonomic issues that are being investigated and the outcomes of these may affect the known distributional range. It is currently known to range from Malaysia to the Japanese Archipelago and south to northern Australia (where it occurs from Coral Bay, Western Australia to the Torres Strait, Queensland) (Manjaji-Matsumoto and Last 2008, Last and Stevens 2009). It is currently thought to be absent from the western Indian Ocean.
|Countries occurrence:
Native:Australia (Northern Territory, Queensland, Western Australia); Cambodia; China; Indonesia; Japan; Malaysia; Papua New Guinea (Papua New Guinea (main island group)); Taiwan, Province of China; Thailand; Viet Nam

There is no species-specific information about populations or trends for the Leopard Whipray, however in a large part of its range there is heavy fishing pressure and extensive habitat degradation and it is suspected that significant population declines have occurred and are ongoing. It is not possible to estimate the proportion of the global population occurring within the Australian region as there is little information on the population structure of this species, however an estimated 15% of the Leopard Whipray's known distributional range is in the Australian region.
|Current Population Trend:
|Additional data:
|Habitat and Ecology:
The Leopard Whipray is demersal on soft substrates and is mainly inshore and coastal though it also occurs on the continental shelf to at least 70 m depth (White et al. 2006, Manjaji and Last 2008). The biology of this species is poorly known, partly due to confusion with other species of the 'uarnak' species-complex; attains about 140 cm disc width (DW); born at about 20 cm DW. Males mature at 70–94 cm DW (White and Dharmadi 2007, Last and Stevens 2009). Reproduction is viviparous and the diet is unknown but likely comprises small fishes and crustaceans (White et al. 2006).
As there is no information on this species' maximum age and age at maturity, generation length was inferred as 20 years based on data for the congener, the Blackspotted Whipray (Himantura astra). Female Blackspotted Whiprays are reported to have a maximum age of 29 years and an age at maturity of nine years (Jacobsen and Bennett 2011). These were used to calculate a generation length of 19 years based on the equation: generation length = (((29-9)/2)+9). The maximum size of the Leopard Whipray is considerably larger (~140 cm DW) than that of the Blackspotted Whipray (80 cm DW) so it is possible the generation length of the Leopard Whipray could be greater than 20 years.
|Generation Length (years):
|Use and Trade:
In large parts of its range outside of Australia (i.e., Southeast Asia), this species is used for its cartilage, meat and high value skin (White et al. 2006).
|Major Threat(s):
The threats to the Leopard Whipray are many of those faced by other Himantura species within its range. However, the Leopard Whipray may be more vulnerable than some of its congeners due to its large size at maturity and maximum size and its preference for inshore coastal waters that are heavily fished and degraded in many parts of its range outside Australian waters (Manjaji and White 2004).
In recent decades, demersal fishing pressure has increased in both capacity and effort in many areas of this species' inshore range. For example, demersal resources in the Gulf of Thailand went from being lightly exploited to severely over-exploited between 1973 and 1994 (Pauly et al. 2005). On standardized trawl surveys conducted over this 20 year period in the Gulf of Thailand, the abundance (biomass) of the major trawl bycatch groups was recorded. The group 'rays' showed a large reduction in biomass over this period and an ecosystem model fitted to the bycatch data indicated that 'rays' were one of the groups most severely impacted by the initial increase in fishing pressure (Pauly et al. 2005). Species-specific catch data are not available, but Indonesian landings of 'Rays, stingrays, mantas, nei' (nei = not elsewhere included) increased from ~10,000 t in 1975 to 58,000 t in 2004 (FAO 2009).
This species' preference for inshore coastal waters means it is also threatened by extensive habitat degradation, including pollution and clearing, and destructive fishing practices. Large coastal areas, in particular mangroves, have been lost in Indonesia and Malaysia through land conversion for urban development, shrimp farms and agriculture. Across Indonesia and Malaysia from 1980 to 2005, the area of mangroves was reduced by >30% (FAO 2007).
|Conservation Actions:
|Research is required to assess catches of the Leopard Whipray throughout its range, and to examine its habitat, ecology and life history parameters including confirmation of its distributional range. Except in Australian waters, the fisheries that capture this species are largely unregulated (licenses are issued but catches and landings are not properly monitored), and presently there are no specific conservation actions in place to help address this problem. In Australia, management measures have been introduced over the last decade that have significantly reduced the threat to this species and it is now considered at low risk from fishing pressures in northern Australian waters.

Body Parts
Typically, the body of a car is altered in terms of color and design, while shape is sometimes affected as well. Body parts can be used to achieve any number of looks, from streamlined and fast to cool and classic. If you do decide to pursue body styling, be sure that your car is a perfect fit for the type of styling you want to do. A station wagon that looks like something your grandfather drove in the 1950s probably won't look as good after body styling as something newer and hipper that's more common on the streets today.

People are habitual of deleting data by pressing 'Shift+Del' instead of only 'Del' and sometimes suffer from unintentional data loss. After losing some important data, they might think of a tool that can help them recover it. A few might wonder is it really possible to recover the data that is permanently deleted.
Linux operating system is quite sophisticated and is not usually preferred by individuals. After bearing a few similar incidents on Linux, some users even quit using it and move to Windows operating system. Some even delete their Linux partitions thinking that they will not be able to use these partitions on Windows due to file system mismatch. This results in a huge sacrifice of the data; however, they do not know that they can regain that data (even on Windows platform) that was deleted being unwittingly.
Now, Windows installation requires repartitioning the same hard drive with either NTFS or FAT file system. You must be glad to know that several advanced Linux data recovery software are available on the Internet that are based Windows platform and are able to recover so called "permanently deleted" data from the Linux partitions (that no longer exist) on Windows operating system.
How is it Possible
After knowing that it is possible to recover data from deleted Linux partitions, you must be curious to know how it is possible as data is deleted (Shift+Del). It is possible because operating system maintains an index entry for each saved file on the hard drive and keeps the overall information of the file. Whenever any command to access a file is executed in RAM, operating system calls it through its index entry. Moreover, when you delete some files or format a drive, operating system deletes its index entry only and marks the memory it acquired as FREE; however, the data remains intact and recoverable using an efficient data recovery software.
Recover Deleted Data
Though several Linux data recovery software are available on the Internet that are able to perform a thorough scan of the internal hard drive sectors, only a few are Windows compatible. These software are capable of finding the previous EXT2, EXT3, EXT4, and FAT (File Allocation Table) partitions that were deleted to repartition the hard drive on Windows platform using either NTFS or FAT file systems. Once these volumes are found, you can further scan them to recover the data that was previously stored. Get an efficient data recovery software that is capable of recovering Linux data on Windows platform.

Post tracks that Lupe has either inspired you to make or maybe tracks that you have done over Lupe songs.
Here's a few songs off my mixtape that Lupe inspired
1. Angels Remix - did this over Lupe's remix of Angels. The concept is what would happen if a Prius were an angel and a Lamborghini was the devil and the two cars crash
2. Nightmarin' - I did this with a friend over DayDream. Literally, it's about a bully and a kid wanting revenge. Truly, it's a Metaphor for revolutions that have happened in history.

ZF-11030: Content-type set per default with PUT to '' has for consequence that Zend_Rest_Client PUT can't work
I am not able to successfully execute a PUT HTTP request via Zend_Rest_Client. I get the following error: Cannot handle content type '' automatically. Please use Zend_Http_Client::setRawData to send this kind of content.
The encoding type is in fact not set in such a request (while it is automatically set for POST request in Zend_HTTP_Client).
I made a small fix that I think is sufficient (line 358): if ($method == self::POST && $this->enctype === null) {
should be
if (($method == self::POST || $method == self::PUT) && $this->enctype === null) {
It's an issue between Zend_HTTP_Client and Zend_Rest_Client.
This issue has for consequence that the default use of Zend_Rest_Client PUT can't work.
I experience the same issue. Thanks for proposing a fix. I will create unit tests and fix this as soon as possible.
I added patches that add extensive testing. Allthough the proposed fix was good, I added support for DELETE as well.
PUT and DELETE were severely undertested, so the biggest patch is for the tests.
To support DELETE I also had to patch Zend_Http_Client_Adapter_Curl, that did not send the request body, hence no data.
I do not know if other adapters also fail to send DELETE data and I do not know if the curl adapter is the right one to fix if I want Zend_Rest_Client to send data with DELETE requests. However, I do know this fix is sufficient for the issue at hand.
I also know there is a failing test in the currently available tests for the curl client. That was there before I started and I communicated with Matthew WOP to make sure he is aware of this.
If no one complains about my patches for about a week, I will commit them and merge them back into the 1.11 branch.
set to patch, because now you can download two patches. The Curl patch will give you support for DELETE requests with data. Please note that in order for these to work with Zend_Rest_Client, we need to fix Zend_Rest_Client. It does not set the data on a DELETE request, but that is another issue.
Please not that the patch for the tests will have to be applied to tests/Zend/Http/Client directory. It contains a few new files and a patch for CommonHttpTests.php that is used by CurlTest.php, that itself did not need patching.
When this will be included in to ZF? In what version?
I will leave the issue open for review for about a week after submitting a patch. If within a week no-one has complained about the fix, I will commit it to trunk, and this case, merge it back into the 1.11 branch. So basically around july 26 2011 you should expect this to be in trunk.
Patches and tests look good. The only change I'd make is in the Client patch -- change the "or" comparison operators to "||".
Feel free to apply at will.
Committed to trunk with the "or" to "||" change. Client.php had to be merged with changes by Roman.
Today I patched the 1.11 branch with these changes, verified that the new tests pass and that no additional tests fail.

I haven't done wonky either. So hard for me to to loosen up and just try it.

This article is an adaptation from The Plateau Effect: Getting From Stuck to Success by Bob Sullivan and Hugh Thompson.
Have you ever been late to a meeting because you were fiddling with the font on a PowerPoint slide?
Ever had someone else get credit at work for an idea of yours because you hesitated to suggest your not-completely-formed proposal?
When you send an email or memo on the job, do you dwell for days over the adjective you used in the next-to-last sentence?
Do the words "good enough" make you cringe?
If any of these sound familiar, you might be a perfectionist, one of the leading causes of career (and life) plateaus.
(MORE: How to Be More Productive at Work in Less Time)
Many psychologists recognize this form of self-torture as a modern-day epidemic – part obsessive-compulsive disorder, part overbearing superego, part digital-age narcissistic nightmare, a plateau that nearly always leads to the edge of misery.
How Perfectionists Irk Their Colleagues
Perfectionists dwell on small mistakes for hours, days or even weeks, crushed when someone points out even a small flaw. But they also bog down team efforts at the office, throwing a monkey wrench into discussions just as everyone is about to reach consensus. As a result, the group process fails and the entire staff suffers.
And when perfectionists are in charge, they are unreasonably demanding micromanagers who irritate employees by obsessing over nonessential details. Because everything is important, they are terrible at prioritizing, perhaps the most important task of a manager.
(MORE: How to Recognize – and Survive – Burnout)
You can see why being a perfectionist is a bankrupt strategy.
At its worst, perfection is the ultimate weapon wielded by procrastination. Gordon Flett, a professor at York University in Canada who has spent his career studying perfectionism, says the trait is just an excuse to put things off.

Post subject: Self-published romances
What's your take on authors who bypass getting an agent and publisher, and put out a romance on their own? Does it put you off? Have you ever read an independently published romance that exceeded your expectations, or even reached your personal standards of what a good romance is - perhaps earning DIK status?
Personally, I would never go near one of these books. From what I've seen so far (ie, from online excerpts), they look truly awful. I don't know how much of it is down to my own bias colouring the reading experience, but I figure a book either grabs you and pulls you in or it doesn't. So much of what I've seen is amateurish and clunky. Editors are there for a reason, and I don't think any aspiring authors should underestimate the importance of an editor.
Your thoughts?

If it's published by a legitimate indie publisher like Sourcebooks or Medallion (though they have horrible covers), I'll pick it up. But if it's a romance novel produced by a one-shot POD or start-up romance pub...maybe not. On the other hand, I really don't get the anathema towards indies when um, Ellora's Cave, Samhain, Liquid Silver, etc are independent publishers to whom authors go to without an agent or publisher. EC was begun by Jaid Black, who couldn't find a market for her own erotic romance, I believe.
I know it sounds like a cliche, but judging by the grades given to many new releases and the general apathy from many of us posters, a NY published book isn't really indicative of a definite good read. At this point, I'm more likely to grab a book by some unknown that looks alright rather than plunking down money for a boring, tepidly-written NY-published book whose purchase will encourage the publisher to produce more bland books in that mold. But that's just me.

There seem to be two reasons why some books get self-published.
One is that the themes/ideas are too odd, too far out of the mainstream, to attract a major publisher.
The other is that the book is just not very good. Actually, that means lousy. Mainstream publishers already put out plenty of mediocre books.
A book self-published for the first reason might be appealing, but one self-published for the second is not. The problem is telling them apart.

And with self-published books, it's hard to tell even by reviews. Most web sites, magazines, etc. don't want to review them -- because they've been burned before. Many of these books have lots of reviews on Amazon, but those reviews are often the worst place to look. Some self-published authors are notorious for writing reviews under pseudonyms or getting friends to post glowing reviews.
I avoid buying self-published books unless I hear great things about them from AAR, The Romance Reader, a reader I trust, a reviewer I like, etc. I will sometimes make an exception if I know the author personally, but even there, it depends on the printer/self-publisher they used as many charge
too much for the books. I did make an exception for some self-published Phantom of the Opera "phan fiction," but the jury is still out on that one as I haven't read it yet.

I'm with
on this. I can't see that editors/ publishers have done such good jobs choosing what to publish. The drawback to self-published books--as A. Marble points out--is that they're usually so expensive. I wonder why someone who thinks they have publishable material but is overlooked by a publisher, doesn't try self-publishing by using Kinkos. A MS bound like a spiral notebook might even be easier to read, though less portable. It would surely hold down the cost, wouldn't it?

I would read a self published book if it was by an author I enjoyed, but she couldn't get this book published because of something like an unusual setting or plot; or if someone I trusted recommended it to me. If there was a good way to find reviews for self published books I'd probably read more, as self published historical romances often feature unusual settings which I *love* but I can't just take a chance on such a pricey book when so many are poorly written or edited.

I worked for 10 years at a Borders and 95% of the vanity pub books I saw were horrible. I'd have to say that 25% of print pub books were horrible. E-pubs I won't comment on because I have limited knowledge and a vested interest.
I tend to just assume that if you didn't go through a publisher in some fashion, your book is probably not so good. Many of the vanity pubed books I saw had glaring flaws in grammar and logic that lead me to believe they had only been edited by the writer and no one else. That spare pair of eyes is invaluable.

so yeah, do whatever you want. bring up threads from three years ago but let me tell you, my absurd actions and atomika's pleading for sympathy are so unlike each other you'd be proving nothing.
also lol @ clever cat namedrop. that makes you look so witty i bet everyone's going to look up to you now!
also qoorl i don't know what the hell your problem has been recently but i've let your stupid comments slide long enough. shut the fuck up with your undeserved negative posts about me that you slyly make in public and the next time you have a problem with what i say, address it instead of trying to impress people.
because guess what, you two. this isn't 2007 anymore. i'm regarded as a cool guy and that's mostly because i'm a lax guy but if you two keep this up, my passive nature could turn aggressive. i'm not taking it anymore. i really couldn't care less as to what you two think of me but i'm not letting you drag me down on the forums just so you can self-validate yourselves.

Sunday, February 9, 1964 was the day that changed music and pop culture forever. The Ed Sullivan Show was one of the most popular television programs in the United States and at 8pm Eastern Standard Time, the Beatles made their live debut on American national television before an estimated 73 million people. This single television appearance mesmerized an entire generation. How many future musicians' dreams began that day? How many kids were inspired to form bands and be like the Beatles? Virtually every famous American rock musician would say later: "When I saw the Beatles on Ed Sullivan it changed my life."
It was on that Sunday night that the Beatles conquered America and Beatlemania had taken hold of the nation. Their music, mop-top hairstyles, matching suits and "Beatle" boots all helped create the image that we all know and love, but it was their instruments that also made a huge impression on everyone watching. Paul McCartney's Hofner 500/1 bass, John Lennon's 325 Rickenbacker guitar, George Harrison's Gretsch Country Gentleman and Ringo Starr's Ludwig drum set, all became extensions of each of their personalities.
This instrumental lineup was a major part of America's first impression of the Beatles, an image permanently etched on the minds of US youth. The instruments that they used that night on TV instantly became known as "Beatle instruments" and provided a shopping list for every aspiring group, thousands of which sprang up in the days and weeks following the Ed Sullivan broadcast. Gretsch, Hofner, Rickenbacker and Ludwig could not have asked for a better advertising campaign, nor could they have imagined what the future held. Every music store throughout the US was soon clamoring for the so-called Beatle instruments. The demand was far greater than the supply. It was every manufacturer's dream.
Be part of the Beatles 50th Anniversary Celebration at the Rock Hall on February 9, 2014
Prior to the group's arrival in the US, Capitol Records had orchestrated a large press campaign and media blitz to prime America for their coming. One shrewd businessman who saw an opportunity in the Beatle invasion was Francis Hall, then owner and president of the Rickenbacker guitar company. During the Beatles stay in New York, Hall arranged a meeting with the group and presented a Rickenbacker 12-string guitar to George Harrison. While it is widely believed that John Lennon too received a new guitar at the Rickenbacker meeting in New York, documents from the company's archives show that Lennon's new model 325 guitar, intended to replace his original, was not present then. In fact, it was shipped from the Rickenbacker factory in California on February 13th to Lennon at the Deauville Hotel in Miami Beach, Florida, as the group prepared for another Ed Sullivan appearance. The new-style Rickenbacker 325 must have been intended for the New York gathering, but presumably was not ready in time.
After the TV success in New York, the group travelled by train to Washington DC for their first US concert, on February 11th at the Washington Coliseum, where they played in the round. It seems laughable now, but at several points during the set Starr was forced between songs to spin his drum set on the pedestal to different sides of the audience in order to give everyone an equal view of the Beatles. This first American Beatles concert also provided the nation's introduction to Vox amplifiers. To their fans, the group themselves were a phenomenon – but they had brought with them these new never-before-seen Vox amplifiers, made in Britain. At the time, Gibson and Fender guitars and amps were the standards among most professional American musicians, and the "big two" brands dominated the market. But here were the Beatles presenting an excitingly different range of equipment. With Beatlemania came completely new choices for musical gear. Because of the Beatles, America's hopeful teen musicians would want Rickenbacker, Gretsch and Hofner guitars, Ludwig drums and Vox amps. These instruments and amplifiers would become as strong a part of Beatle identity as the group's mop-top hairstyles.
Following their DC performance, the group travelled by train back to New York City for two shows at the prestigious Carnegie Hall. Tickets were oversold for the theatre and some of the audience ended up sitting on stage behind the group. Fans would never get this close to the Beatles again. The equipment used at Carnegie Hall was the same as in Washington, although photographs from this performance reveal that McCartney's original '61 Hofner bass was present as a spare. After the two Carnegie Hall shows, they flew to Miami Beach, Florida, where they stayed at the Deauville Hotel. It was from this location that they would make their second live appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show.
On Friday February 14th and Saturday 15th, the group spent time relaxing, enjoying the fine weather in Miami and rehearsing for their upcoming TV show. Photographs taken during the first day of the rehearsals in a meeting hall at the Deauville Hotel reveal Harrison using his new Rickenbacker 360/12 model electric 12-string guitar. McCartney has his '63 Hofner bass and Starr the Ludwig set. Lennon plays the original '58 Rickenbacker 325, but it was at the Deauville that he took delivery of his new Rickenbacker guitar. According to the original receipt in the Rickenbacker archive, the new black model 325 guitar was sent directly to the hotel from the Rickenbacker factory in California. The following day's rehearsals on the set of The Ed Sullivan Show marked the first time that Lennon played his new Rickenbacker 325 guitar with the group.
So it was that on Sunday February 16th the group made their second live appearance on American TV. Across the nation an estimated 70 million viewers tuned in to the show. The Beatles performed "She Loves You," "This Boy," "All My Loving," "I Saw Her Standing There," "From Me To You" and their hit "I Want To Hold Your Hand." Starr performed on his now famous oyster black pearl Ludwig drum set and the guitars used were the '63 Hofner 500/1 bass, the new '64 Rickenbacker 325 and the second Gretsch Country Gentleman with the dual flip up mutes (note: Harrison had two Gretsch Country Gentleman guitars, one first with screw down mutes and the second with flip up mutes. Harrison later gave one away and the other fell off the back of a car and was run over by a truck!) The Vox amplifiers were again set off to the sides of the stage.
Many a music retailer and manufacturer had Sullivan and the Fab Four from Liverpool to thank for a very good season as crowds of teenagers rushed to buy Gretsch and Rickenbacker guitars, Hofner 'Beatle' basses and Ludwig drum sets. Gretsch, Ludwig and Rickenbacker greatly expanded operations. Virtually overnight Gretsch, Rickenbacker and Ludwig tried to increase production to meet the demand, while in Germany Hofner worked to set up US distribution. Calls and telegrams started to pour in to Jennings Musical Industries back in England requesting the Vox 'Beatles' amplifiers. It was the dawn of a golden age for garage bands.

It's ridiculous that we have to sign Chris Smith who is a D league player at best, for J.R. If J.R wants to be here then he will stay here for cheaper. If he wants the money and starting role on a most likely worse team, then he should go for it. We need shooters at the 2 spot. J.R is good because he can rebound, play D and drive to the hoop. We need players that can help spread the floor so a knock down jump shooting 2 guard is fine with me. Similar to Jason Kidd when he was making shots.
If we lose Smith, it would stink but then we can use Copeland more.
Dude your giving JR too much credit.....Woodsons remarks is not what JR wants to hear.....He could not even deal with the negative tweets he gets from Knicks fans and usually answers in a childish way.......If his minutes are reduced he will be a total pain in the ass....
With that said I do not believe he would fake an illness to protest playing in a game....I do think if he is at all sick he will not step up to play in fear another crappy game will put him in the doghouse with less minutes,,,,,,
JR for the price the Knicks pay ( 3 times the amount of Nate Robinson ) is what makes sense for JR.......
Next year 4-5 per at best......anything more let him go he is a royal pain in the ass.
JR Smith -- don't even know what to say, man. I'll be very disappointed if he doesn't go tonight. Can't go crazy on him too bad though, I guess -- I've got a 4-yr-old home sick along with a wife who has a sinus infection and pink eye right now. If he's sick, he's sick. Nothing you can do about that if it's legit... But it's just a culmination right now with this guy -- the elbow to Terry, getting thrown out and the suspension; 2x going out late before games; the horrible shooting slump at the most important time of the year (and remember he was terrible last year during the playoffs too); and now he may not play with an "illness" (weird, right? I mean what's he got? The flu?? Then tell us he's got the flu! By not divulging, it makes it sound like the team and their doctors don't even have a clue what's wrong with him). Bottom line here is that this dude has cost himself millions this offseason with this whole stretch of questionable behavior and ineptitude. Still time to turn it around -- hopefully it's tonight. I'd take him back, even with this brutal slump, but if it didn't work out with us and JR next year, I wouldn't be that broken up about it, gotta be honest. If I were Grunwald, I'd actually look forward to the challenge of replacing him and as I've said on many other threads, I think we could do it on the cheap. Quite a few nice options out there:
Draft -
potential 1st round targets around 24 (guards): Erick Green, Sergey Karasev?
potential 2nd round targets if we could grab an extra pick: Reggie Bullock, Carrick Felix, Durand Scott, Dwayne Davis, maybe we even take a shot at this Ricky Ledo who just entered his name in the draft
Host of real solid, cheap FA alternatives: Jermaine Taylor, Jamelle Horne, Scotty Hopson, Chris Douglas-Roberts, Austin Freeman, Derrick Byars, Dominique Jones (just waived by Dallas), Chris Johnson (not the big from LSU -- the 6'6" wing from Dayton that had a cup of coffee with Memphis this year), Othyus Jeffers (loved him before he got hurt, fighting his way back now), DJ Kennedy, Travis Leslie, Lazar Hayward, Glen Rice Jr. (Shump's teammate at G-Tech), Lester Hudson...
All will not lost -- There will be options if JR bolts on us. I'd argue Erick Green + Jermaine Taylor = better than JR Smith for example.

He has been playing the worst bball of his career........I am sure if he was on fire the last few games he would make a go of it...but since he has been off maybe its best if he is sick to be ready for Tuesday...especially if its the flu and it could catch up to the other players...
Yes he deserves more then he gets paid...But he is a high risk......Look at the Terry incident....and then out the night before a game.......Not the best influence u want......
I wonder what him and Pablo talk about
Yeah I mean its hard not to go out and have fun in NY especially when the whole city is basically talking about you, and I totally agree that him partying in between these important games is unacceptable as a professional basketball player. You could have all the skills in the world but if your heart isn't in the right place, it really don't mean much. You can hurt the whole team by doing what you want to do. Have you heard about Lenny Cooke? I feel bad for the guy. During high school, he was the number one prospect in the same class of Lebron, Amare, and Carmelo. He was supposed to be the next best thing and had agents giving him money for him to spend like he already made it big time, when he was only in high school. That took away his focus from the game and even though he had the talent to be better than Lebron, his heart was in the wrong place and he took the wrong advice from people that weren't looking for his best interests. He ended up not getting drafted because many teams saw him as huge risk to the team game because of the question of his character. He played over seas and eventually got into and accident and also eventually blew out both his Achilles and now he's severely out of shape and his basketball future is over. Here's an awesome article on him.

At midnight Mass of Christmas, we hear the glorious announcement that a Savior has been born for us. From the beginning of time, prophets announced that the Messiah of the Lord would come. "Messiah," or "Christ" means "Anointed one." God anointed many people to carry out special missions for him. On Christmas, this prophecy was fulfilled in a surprising way, because the angels did not simply announce that Jesus was the Messiah of the Lord. They said the newborn child was Messiah AND Lord. God did not just send a Messiah. He came himself. This Child is the God who made us all. And by coming in this way, he joined every human life, born and unborn, to Himself. Christmas is, indeed, the feast of the dignity of every human life.
