As I walked into the Holiday Village Cinema and showed my press pass, the lady at the door asked "Are you here for The First Time?" It can be taken in two ways, and the answers are yes and kind of.
I've reviewed films in the past for Sundance in past years, but I was always on the SLC/Ogden-showing beat. And this was a great film to start with at the heart of the fest in Park City.
It's not one of the best of the fest for 2012 (the competition was amazing this year), but it's still one of the best teen movies since Can't Hardly Wait. If you get the chance to see Jonathan Kasdan's The First Time, take the initiative.
The film follows teens Dave Hodgman (Dylan O'Brien of MTV's Teen Wolf) and Aubrey Miller (Brittany Robertson of the CW's Life Unexpected) as they fall in love for "the first time" over a weekend after meeting at a party on a Friday night.
The casting was awesome. Don't be surprised if you hear names from the supporting cast again soon:
Victoria Justice plays Jane, the hot girl that all the guys including Dave crush on; Craig Roberts and LaMarcus Tinker play Simon and Big Corporation, Dave's Rosencrantz and Guildenstern in the film; James Frecheville plays Ronny, Aubrey's cool, alternative boyfriend, who's also an asshole.
Two parts of this movie really stood out: 1. The dialogue. 2. Location, location, location.
1. The script was written to fit the current teen nuances, but witty enough to make long conversation scenes seem fleeting. Lines like Aubrey's "I want to meet a man the old fashion way… in a bar." And Dave's "I'm never going to be her dude, am I?" were clever, drove the plot and showed us the emotional side of the characters.
2. In a recent youtube clip, Kasdan mentioned this film takes place when "real high school life" happens—over the weekend. But I'd add to that all of the importat scenes also happens where real high school life drama happens—just outside the party in the bedroom upstairs, the patio out back, the alley behind the house or on the long walk home.
Some parts are a bit cheesy, like Dave asking Aubrey to slow dance in the alley. Would a teen even think, or desire, to do that? And the typical stoner kids are present as well, but these kids leave their mark on the film more than your everyday movie stoner (not including Spicoli) for a very good reason that will hit home for a lot of viewers.

This version of Microsoft Security Essentials includes the following new features and enhancements to better help protect your PC from threats:
Windows Firewall integration. You can turn Windows Firewall on or off using Microsoft Security Essentials.
Network inspection system. This feature enhances real-time protection by inspecting network traffic to help block exploitation of known network-based vulnerabilities.
New and improved protection engine. The updated engine offers enhanced detection and cleanup capabilities with better performance.
These features are described in more detail in the following sections.
Windows Firewall integration
Windows Firewall can help prevent attackers or malicious software from gaining access to your PC. When you install Microsoft Security Essentials, the installation wizard verifies that Windows Firewall is turned on. If you have intentionally turned off Windows Firewall, you can avoid turning it on by clearing a check box. You can change your Windows Firewall settings at any time via the System and Security settings in Control Panel.
Network inspection system
When your PC connects to a network, it can become vulnerable if the network is vulnerable. Studies of network vulnerabilities show that it can take a month or longer from the time of an initial attack report before a suitable security update is developed, tested, and released. This gap in protection leaves too many PCs open to attack. The network inspection system works with real-time protection so that you're protected hours after exploits are discovered—not weeks.
Award-winning protection engine
Under the hood of Microsoft Security Essentials is its award-winning protection engine that is updated regularly. The engine is backed by a team of antimalware researchers from the Microsoft Malware Protection Center, providing responses to the latest malware threats 24 hours a day.

I want to use plasma to solve hermitian eigenvalue problems in my fortran code. Initially I compiled and successfully run plasma with ATLAS. Although when I am running the code I get the following warning:
PLASMA WARNING: plasma_setlapack_numthreads():
WARNING you are calling a parallel section without linking with a multithread library
please compile with multi thread library and add -fopenmp(gcc)/-openmp(icc) to both
compilation and linkage flags
(I use -fopenmp in both compilation and linkage) I recon that this is because BLAS provided by ATLAS is sequential, am I correct?
However, I ran into problems when I tried to use PLASMA with intel fortran and mkl. I compiled PLASMA using intel c/fortran and mkl according to the steps given in readme file (by downloading reference cbas and lapack instead of using those provided by mkl). When I try to run exactly the same code that worked with ATLAS I am getting the following error message:
PLASMA ERROR: plasma_desc_check(): invalid matrix type
PLASMA ERROR: PLASMA_zheev_Tile_Async(): invalid descriptor
The code i'm using:
subroutine zheev_plasma(A, V, eig_val, npcores, info)
complex(idp), intent(inout) :: A(:,:)
real(dp), intent(inout) :: eig_val(:)
integer(i4b), intent(in) :: npcores
logical, intent(in) :: V
integer(i4b), intent(out) :: info
integer(i4b) :: n
type(c_ptr) :: descT
n = size(A, 1)
call PLASMA_init(npcores, info)
call PLASMA_Alloc_Workspace_zheev(n, n, descT, info)
call PLASMA_zheev(PlasmaNoVec, PlasmaUpper, n, A, n, eig_val, descT, A, n, info)
call PLASMA_finalize(info)
end subroutine zheev_plasma
Am I doing something wrong? Am I calling all routines correctly?
I'll appreciate any help
I ran run testing_zheev.c (provided with plasma distribution) (compiled with intel c with mkl) without a problem, which makes me even more confused.
I think I have found the culprit. It is subroutine PLASMA_zheev, in it, descT is passed by value. When I corrected it to be passed by reference everything started to work properly. I don't really know why (never have done fortran/c bindings before) but it works.

Republican Women's Caucus honors Betsy Cochrane
Published: Friday, February 1, 2013 at 3:52 p.m.

Former N.C. House Representative and N.C. Senator Betsy Lane Cochrane was honored by the North Carolina Republican Women's Caucus by being awarded the caucus' third Trailblazer award.
Cochrane served four terms in the N.C. House from 1981-1989, representing Davidson County, then served six terms in the N.C. Senate from 1989 to 2000. She was the first woman elected to the House from her district in Davidson County. She was also the first woman elected to the Senate from her district in Davie County.
She was the first woman to hold a leadership post in both chambers. She was the minority leader in the House from 1985 through 1988. She was the first female Republican minority leader in the Senate and presided over the Senate during a floor session in 1989. She also served as co-chairwoman of appropriations in the House and the Senate.
She was presented the Order of the Long Leaf Pine by Gov. Jim Martin for her service to the state.
In 2000, she was enlisted to run for lieutenant governor. She has been named again in the 2012 edition of "Who's Who in America" whose inclusion is a testament to hard work and dedication to success.
Cochrane was born and educated in Asheboro. She graduated from Meredith College and was a teacher.
Her family members are her husband, Joe, daughter and husband Lisa and Rick Ling, son and wife Craig and Amanda Cochrane, and grandchildren Madison Ling, Reagan Cochrane, Kathleen Cochrane and Connor Cochrane. All but Connor were able to attend the event.

It wasn't just the work that Vincent Silveira '13 enjoyed during his internship at Smart Devine, a full-service accounting and financial services firm in Philadelphia.
"It's really cool to be a young intern in Philly. You meet other interns, go out after work and enjoy the city. It's great."
The Center for Career and Professional Development at Cabrini College helped Silveira secure an internship at Smart Devine, where his abilities were put to the test from day one.
"I was assigned a project and asked to go prove myself. And I said, 'Yeah, I can do this' and I did it. Then I was given even more responsibilities." Besides getting relevant experience in his field, Silveira believes it is also the "small things" that made his internship important to his career success. "You learn how to be in an office and how to navigate office politics and co-workers. Your internship teaches you those small things." For Silveira, who majored in accounting and finance, the small things landed him in the big leagues. Today, he is living and working in Manhattan as an audit associate at Deloitte, one of the "BigFour" professional financial services firms.
This success has given Silveira some perspective on how to secure a competitive job and succeed at it.
"Your internship during college gets you the job after graduation," he said. "Your internship also teaches you those important real-world skills you need to thrive at that first job after college." Without mentoring from Nancy Hutchison, director of The Center for Career and Professional Development, Silveira said that his professional and personal experiences might not have happened.
"The Career Center was really good in making sure my resume was professional and captured my accomplishments. Nancy kept me on track and reminded me when application deadlines were approaching. I might have missed them otherwise. Even after I had the internship, Nancy contacted me twice just to see how I was doing."

Lauren Chieffo '11 knew in high school that it was important for a college to have a strong professional network.
"Most Cabrini business majors land jobs within six months of graduation, because of the strong partnerships that Cabrini's Career Center has cultivated in the business community," Chieffo said from her office in Washington, D.C.
"That was a deciding factor in my choosing Cabrini, because the right network made all the difference in today's job market."
The Center for Career and Professional Development linked Chieffo to an event-planning internship at the Philadelphia Business Journal. "It was the starting point for my sales knowledge and experience," Chieffo said. Even before her internship, Chieffo, who majored in marketing and international business, took advantage of the Career Center's services.
"I went to a few workshops at the Career Center on resume writing and found a good sounding board in the staff when figuring out my career path." On a trip with an international business class to Washington, D.C., to meet with representatives from the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank Group, Chieffo was captivated by the city and knew it was the place for her.
Her internship supervisor at the Philadelphia Business Journal suggested that after she graduated she apply to their sister publication, the Washington Business Journal. She did so and was soon hired.
"My internship was the connection. The rest is history."
Lauren Chieffo '11 Marketing and Sales Manager of Domestic Home Entertainment, National Geographic Society
"When I wanted an internship, I told the Career Center and the next week I had an interview lined up," Matthew Piontkowski '11 said during a break between meetings at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.
"In fact, the Career Center set up all three of my internships. My resume looks great, with experiences and skills that employers are looking for these days."
The first interview for an internship that The Center for Career and Professional Development arranged for Piontkowski was in marketing at the Greater Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce in Center City.
"The Career Center really helped. I had never even heard of the Chamber of Commerce before the interview," recalled Piontkowski, who majored in marketing and international business.
His second internship was in event planning at the Philadelphia Business Journal, followed by a public relations internship at Devine + Partners, both also in Center City.
"When you establish connections through an internship it may lead back to a full-time opportunity," said Piontkowski, who was hired after graduation as a marketing associate at the Greater Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce, where he had completed his first internship.
"All students should apply for an internship," Piontkowski said. "Internships teach you things that you cannot learn in the classroom. In all three of my internships, I was more than just an intern. I was part of a team."
Piontkowski laughed when remembering those days. "They had me calling the president of a company during one of my roles. An intern, calling a president! Overall, I was able to take what I learned from those three positions and apply them to the work that I do today."
Matthew Piontkowski '11 Development Coordinator, The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia
Brittani Williams '11 credits her internship and The Center for Career and Professional Development with helping her land a great job after graduation while she pursues a master's degree in counseling psychology.
When she first approached the Career Center, she wasn't even sure she'd have time for an internship because she was already working full‑time while attending Cabrini.
The Career Center worked with Brittani so she could use her job at American Eagle Outfitters as an internship, opting to ramp-up her responsibilities with that company.
"A requirement of the internship was that I needed to tackle new tasks in the workplace to earn credit toward my degree," Brittani said. "The Career Center was instrumental in securing me these new responsibilities. Had that not happened, my skills could have gone under‑utilized."
Brittani believes the internship taught her leadership skills that employers seek. "My internship experience prepared me to work with people from all over the world and provided me with customer service skills that every company looks for when hiring."
When it came to landing that great job after graduation, the Career Center was there for her. "The Career Center assisted me with resume writing, applications, and they even found the job announcement for my current position at University of Maryland."
Brittani Williams '11 Senior Military and Veteran Academic Advisor University of Maryland University College
Danielle Alio '12 admits that her internship in television news for Fox 29's "Good Day Philadelphia" got the attention of employers after she graduated.
"When I was interviewed for my current job at Princeton University, they were very impressed with my internship experience. They knew that I had learned the necessary real‑world skills to thrive." Danielle felt her internship prepared her for the demanding work she does today as a multimedia specialist in the Office of Communications at Princeton.
"My internship taught me how to adapt to sudden change in the workplace. Breaking news could happen at any moment. I had to learn to be ready for that big story to come in, whatever it may be." The personalized attention from Nancy Hutchison, director of The Center for Career and Professional Development, meant a great deal to Danielle.
"Nancy came to visit me one day during my internship and met with my supervisor. I really liked that she met with my supervisor because it showed that the Career Center cared about my progress and success."
Danielle Alio '12 Multimedia Specialist Office of Communications, Princeton University
From his office at Delaware Investments of the Macquarie Group where he works in mutual funds, Ryan Kaysen '10 says his finance internship with Avi Kantor at ING Partners was crucial to his success.
"My internship put me on a path to get the career I wanted," Ryan said. Prior to Delaware Investments, he worked in various roles at SEI Financial.
For this business administration and finance major, his two‑semester internship put the knowledge he learned in the classroom from accomplished faculty to real-world use.
"I was able to be in client meetings and see how these professionals interacted with clients. That helps me even today."
The Center for Career and Professional Development was there every step of the way.
"I told the staff at the Career Center about my major and my career goals and they helped me develop my resume and narrow down my internship search," he recalls.
But the personalized attention and mentoring went one step further. "The Career Center even set up the interview for my internship at Avi Kantor."
Ryan Kaysen '10 Internal Consultant Delaware Investments, a member of the Macquarie Group
Kelsey Kastrava '12 had a clear advantage when entering the non‑profit marketing and advancement job market after four of her five internships were in that field.
"My internships—at Project H.O.M.E., Catholic Relief Services, Cabrini Mission Core, and Cabrini College's Office of Institutional Advancement—made me more marketable to advancement offices that were hiring," said Kelsey, who works as assistant to the director of advancement at Mercy Vocational High School.
"Mercy Vocational was impressed with my ability to learn so much in semester-long positions and they were happy to add me to their staff." In addition to her internships for non-profits, Kelsey was a "10! Show" intern at NBC 10.
It was mentoring through The Center for Career and Professional Development that got Kelsey thinking about what post-graduation career might best fit her interests and how an internship might help achieve her career goals. "My first internship, at Project H.O.M.E., introduced me to the multi-faceted field of fundraising and development for non-profits," Kelsey said. The Career Center staff was instrumental in securing those internships and they helped Kelsey personalize resumes and cover letters that best defined her skills and real-world experience.
As graduation neared, it was the Career Center that referred Kelsey to the position she now holds at Mercy Vocational High School.
Kelsey Kastrava '12 Assistant to the Director of Advancement Mercy Vocational High School
"My advisors gave me great guidance on academics, on my career, and on personal things too.
"If they knew someone I should network with, they would put me in touch in a heartbeat. That's something hard to get at a bigger school.
"I did a summer internship and a co-op in my junior year. Experiences like that help you figure out your career path so that you don't waste time moving in the wrong direction. They are really valuable, and Cabrini promotes them strongly.
"My senior year business capstone course was a great preparation for the professional world. We focused on the kind of job we wanted and the steps we needed to take to get it."
Quiana Volney '12 Business Administration with minors in International Business and Marketing Traffic Coordinator at Jack Morton Worldwide, a leading branding agency
"My internships at Cabrini gave me a competitive advantage to better build connections and have relevant work experience before graduation.
"I had the opportunity to test the waters in multiple facets of the communications world—non-profit management, public relations, and marketing—and get a feel for what best suited my skill set and turn that into a career."
Ashley Correll '09 Director of Beyond Insurance® Workshops Addis Intellectual Capital, Tampa, Fla.
"My interest in photography came from Cabrini. I took a class and discovered I had a natural eye for it. After Cabrini I held several jobs, all the time doing photography on the side. I started SP Photography in 2009.
"Cabrini encourages you to be involved in multiple things. I did practicums in radio and video. I worked as managing editor of The Loquitur, and that taught me about time management, being efficient, and communicating. Those are a huge part of running a business.
"Cabrini is smaller, so you have more opportunity for dialogue and discussion. You get to know so many different types of people. You can build your network. That's great preparation for the way the world is right now."
Sharvon P. Urbannavage '03 Owner, Photographer, and Videographer SP Photography
"An internship was never something I thought of as an integral part of my college education until I came to Cabrini College. However, every professor spoke about the importance and benefits that came from participating in the Co‑Op program, but the benefits I experienced were greater than I could have ever imagined.
"During my senior year at Cabrini, I signed up for an internship. The internship I was assigned to acted as a great supplement to the topics I was learning in class. There is absolutely no substitute for "real world" experience, and my internship through Cabrini provided me just that.
"I graduated in December 2009 and was fortunate enough to be offered a full-time position at the accounting firm where I interned and have been working for that company ever since.
"Since graduation I have been involved in multiple mergers and acquisitions, valuations, bankruptcy cases, profits plans, audits, tax planning, and tax return preparation for a wide variety of corporations. None of that would have been possible without the opportunity I was given at Cabrini."
David Korpel '09 Staff Accountant MargolisBecker, LLC
"Cabrini gives you all this opportunity at a very young age. Freshman year, I took a radio course and that summer I had an on‑air radio gig at Rock 107 in Scranton, Pa. I learned radio, video, PR, how to pitch an idea, how to work independently.
"Because Cabrini's a small school, you get a lot of attention, and you get to be really creative.
"When I graduated, I needed to do something with my creativity. I started Trendhungry.com and just kept going from there."
Jessie Holeva '10 Fashion Blogger, Media Host, Fashionista TrendHungry.com, Philly.com's Style Section, QVC, King of Prussia Mall Style Setter Recently quoted by The Wall Street Journal, Shape, and Woman's Day
"The research experiences I had at Cabrini were absolutely essential for me getting into the Ph.D. program at Drexel.
"Junior year at Cabrini I did research on the immune system of an earthworm. It opened up so many opportunities.
"I was published in two science journals. I presented at three conferences. I learned to analyze peer-reviewed articles. I learned to write a thesis. I learned research technique, and in grad school, technique is huge.
"I've finished my second semester at Drexel University and I am an 'A' student. Cabrini did an excellent job. I'm happy where I am in life.
"I recently was part of a research team that published 'Reduced Mammalian Target of Rapamycin Activity Facilitates Mitochondrial Retrograde Signaling and Increases Life Span in Normal Human Fibroblasts,' in the journal Aging Cell (Vol. 12, Issue 4)."
Timothy Nacarelli '11 Ph.D. student, Drexel University Molecular and Cellular Biology and Genetics
"I knew my internship experiences were an advantage, but I didn't realize how valuable they would be until I found myself interviewing for full-time positions as I approached graduation.
"Through my interviews, I found myself feeling confident and prepared to tackle the entry-level jobs at hand.
"Furthermore, I had a portfolio chockfull of applicable projects that served to not only back my resume, but proved that I had already successfully handled many of the responsibilities expected of the entry level position. I had two and half years of diverse internship experience at the region's top public relations and advertising firms.
"Because of the structured program put in place by Cabrini's co-op/career services team, I found that my internships were of superior quality, and that made a significant difference when I began my job search."
Laura Van De Pette '07 Senior Account Executive Brownstein Group, Philadelphia
"Cabrini taught me to keep an open mind, work your hardest, and be respectful of others.
"One of the best things was having projects where we'd go into the field and talk to working professionals. We'd see how things are in real life.
"And a lot of my professors held positions in the field, so they could say, 'OK, this is how we handled this situation when I was at company X.'
"At Cabrini, you learn how things really work."
Justin DiPasquale '10 Double Major in Human Resources and Finance Associate Financial Advisor, Alan Barlow & Associates
"Since I was little, I've always wanted to be a teacher. Seeing children excited to learn—that's what makes me want to go to work every day.
"At Cabrini I learned to create lesson plans, teach to different learning styles, use technology, figure out students, and communicate with parents. I had field experiences in public schools, private schools, special education, and English as a Second Language.
"I wouldn't have my job without those experiences, and I wouldn't have had those experiences without Cabrini. I worked hard, and it paid off. I'm doing what I always dreamed of, and it feels pretty wonderful."

A Polytech High School employee was taken into police custody at the school this morning after staff there called police to say he was acting suspiciously.
According to Delaware Department of Education Public Information Office Alison Kepner, an employee who had been out on medical leave, entered the school's campus through an outbuilding, where he was met by other school employees.
Polytech Principal Jason Peel, in a message posted on the school's homepage, described the employee as acting "suspicious" and said it prompted other staff members to call 9-1-1 an institute a lockdown at the school.
The incident happened around 11 a.m., Peel wrote.
Parents received an "Alert Now" message – a service used to deliver emergency communications – from the district to apprise them of the situation.
Kepner said students and staff within the school were never in danger. The school was on lockdown for 30 minutes before classes resumed at their normal schedule.
Police remained on the scene to provide extra security and peace of mind for the students, Peel wrote.
Delaware State Police Cpl. Gary Fournier said the suspect was in police custody.
"We are still investigating the situation, there are currently no charges, we are conducting interviews," Fournier said.

Many women use botanical supplements like black cohosh during menopause. In this post, I'm going to briefly summarize research, possible risks, and how to be a smart consumer regarding this herb. Black cohosh (Actaea racemosa, also called Cimicifuga racemosa) is a popular non-drug treatment for menopause symptoms. Evidence about the effectiveness and safety of black cohosh for treatment of hot flashes is mixed: some studies show improvement of menopause symptoms and some show no benefit. There are no long-term safety studies yet, and most are shorter than 6 months. Future black cohosh studies should give us more information about the proper and safe use of this herb.
Meanwhile, there have been over 50 reports of liver damage such as hepatitis and liver failure with use of black cohosh-containing products. Cause and effect is difficult to prove in these situations, but the number of similar reports is concerning. Because black cohosh is harvested from plants grown in the wild, there is a risk of use of the wrong plant species and adulteration with harmful materials from other wild plants. The US Pharmacopeia states that any product containing black cohosh should carry the following statement: "In rare cases, black cohosh has been reported to affect the liver. Discontinue use and consult a healthcare practitioner if you have a liver disorder or develop symptoms of liver trouble, such as abdominal pain, dark urine, or jaundice."
NAMS recommends that you buy black cohosh from a reputable company and use it for a short time if it lessens your menopause symptoms. If it is not effective for you, do not use it. The most common side effects of black cohosh are stomach upset and headache.
How can you find the safest source of black cohosh? The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is unfortunately not required to inspect supplements. It is up to all of us to look out for our safety when using them. Can seals of approval help? For an interesting discussion of the potential value of seals of approval for supplements, read Kaiser Permanente's message to its members. Additionally, the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicineis a wonderful source of accurate information about alternative therapies. I encourage you to check it out. Note that there is an entire section on herbal products entitled "Herbs at a Glance," including specific information about black cohosh. Other excellent resources for consumers are the Office of Dietary Supplementsand the FDA's overview of supplements and safety. For more on menopause matters, visit us at www.menopause.org.

Pelvic pain in women refers to pain in the lowest part of your abdomen and pelvis. If asked to locate your pain, you might sweep your hand over that entire area rather than point to a single spot. Chronic pelvic pain is pain in your pelvic region — the area below your bellybutton and between your hips — that lasts six months or longer.
Chronic pelvic pain can be a symptom of another disease, or it can be a condition in its own right. The cause of chronic pelvic pain is often hard to find. If the source of your chronic pelvic pain can be found, treatment focuses on that cause.
Some women never receive a specific diagnosis that explains their pain. But that doesn't mean your pain isn't real and treatable. If no cause can be found, treatment focuses on managing the pain.

Perhaps there is a little something to that stereotype of women lying around the house all day eating bonbons after all.
Time reports that a new study published in the Lancet looked at physical activity across the globe and found that in 122 countries, 34 percent of women are inactive, while 28 percent of men tend to loll around.
What equals inactive? According to the magazine, the researchers consider it to be "less than 30 minutes of moderate activity five days a week or 20 minutes of vigorous activity three times a week." And, just FYI, people in Bangladesh are serious movers, with just 4.7 percent considered inactive, while the good folks of Malta are the most inactive, with 72 percent qualifying for that rating, Time adds.
Maybe they just have really good bonbons there.

Foothill College serves as an influential example of the integration of Landscape Architecture and Architecture in post World War II modernism and was immediately bestowed many top awards upon completion. One of the first junior colleges built after World War, and originally designed by architect Ernest Kump and landscape architect Peter Walker, the campus master plan was structured around the idea of an "acropolis", with the campus located at the top of the hill. Vehicles were relegated to the edges of the campus, and the pedestrian oriented campus core was dignified and tranquil. A rolling campus green, large central grove and intimate academic courts that were an extension of the classroom pavilions created a successful hierarchy of landscape spaces and employed a distinct design language whose structural clarity remains today. Withstanding the test of time the project was awarded the ASLA National Classic Award in 1993.

Officials: Woman left young children in DeBary bar parking lot for 2 hours in the cold
Published: Monday, March 4, 2013 at 9:32 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, March 4, 2013 at 9:28 p.m.
A DeBary woman was arrrested and accused of drinking in a bar while leaving two little girls outside in a cold car for two hours early Monday, officials said.
The suspect, 30-year-old Cheryn Scaggs, was imbibing at the Shotz Sports Bar & Grill in DeBary between midnight and 2 a.m. while the two girls — ages 1 and 4 — sat in the back seat of her sport utility vehicle, Volusia County sheriff's spokesman Brandon Haught said.
A patrol deputy noticed a crowd outside the tavern, 167 S. Charles R. Beall Blvd., at 2 a.m. and drove in to investigate, Haught said.
The deputy learned that Scaggs had asked several bar patrons to help her get home, Haught said. When the other patrons went outside with Scaggs, though, they noticed the two youngsters in the back seat of the vehicle, Haught said.
At that moment, the temperature was in the 30s, Haught said, and Scaggs' SUV was not running.
Patrons who were questioned by the deputy said they noticed Scaggs walk out of the bar several times, but they had no idea the children were in the SUV; a visor had been placed across the windshield to obscure the view, Haught said.
One of the patrons said Scaggs had even mentioned that the girls had been left with a neighbor, Haught said.
Volusia County Fire Services responded to the scene and determined the children were unharmed and all right. They were placed with relatives.
Scaggs was charged with child neglect. She was being held Monday night in the Volusia County Branch Jail on $10,000 bail, a booking officer said.

This July Alex Fraser, son of the famous Julia Fraser (Regional Sales Manager for Accent Inns Kelowna and Kamloops) won a silver medal at the BC Summer Games in Langley. Alex played for the Thompson-Okanagan Team which finished 1st in their pool which earned them a semi-final game against Vancouver Island. In the semi-final game, they defeated Vancouver Island 8-7 (tough for Accent Inn Victoria staff routing for the Vancouver Island team). "It was a thrilling game and it was probably the best the Thompson-Okanagan Team has ever played", said Julia Fraser, Regional Sales Manager and proud Mom. In the Championship Final for the Gold, they lost a heartbreaker to Fraser River/Delta 6-3 (a tough loss for our Accent Inn Vancouver Airport staff)
"Iron Man" Alex Fraser played all 5 games, pitched and played first base.
"The BC Summer Games are one of the best local sporting events in the province and we are so proud and happy for Alex (and his mom)" Mandy Farmer, President and CEO Accent Inns. (more…)

Philbin and Flynn in Miami?
The next stop on the coaching-search carousel brings us to Green Bay Packers coordinator Joe Philbin.
According to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, Philbin is scheduled to interview with the Dolphins "by the weekend." His name may not be big as Jeff Fisher, Jon Gruden or Brian Billick, but Philbin is definitely worthy of consideration. He's been in charge of the Packers' offense since 2007, won a Super Bowl last year and helped quarterback Aaron Rodgers produce one of the best seasons in NFL history.
Now, let's get past the particulars.
If hired, Philbin could also give the Dolphins an inside track of landing free agent quarterback Matt Flynn. Flynn suddenly is hot commodity after last week's scorching performance against the Detroit Lions. His other career start was an impressive effort against the New England Patriots in 2010, where he almost led the Packers to victory.
For those of you who follow me on Twitter (@ShandelRich), you know that I'm not sold on pursuing Flynn. He's a guy who has been a career backup and is no more proven than Matt Moore. In fact, Moore is probably more seasoned because of his experience.
Flynn is no Matt Cassel.
Still, the appeal of Flynn is many will think he beats the alternative:
1)The risk of developing a rookie quarterback
2) The risk of another season full of fans bashing management for sticking with Moore if he struggles.

Replacing TV as the electronic hearth of a home
Still cool. I'd been meaning to try out an app called Air Video which lets me stream media from my 'puter to the iPad. It's not perfect. One major flaw is that it won't directly stream DRM protected stuff from iTunes. It can move it from desktop to iPad for viewing in Safari, but that leaves a toolbar strip across the top of the screen. You get used to it, but it is grossly inelegant and initially at least, kind of annoying. Otherwise, it is a good little app. I watched the first ep of The Wire, a series I've been meaning to get into for over a year. (Guessing I'm not the only one with an ever increasing backlog of media to get through. I still haven't watched the last series of True Blood. Or anything past the first series of Sopranos, or the first ep of Firefly. Haven't even had cracked the shrink wrap on my Generation Kill discs. This is what comes of life on Permanent Deadline). Anyway, The Wire was awesome, as expected. And the app performed well, sending clear video through my wifi network without stuttering or slow down. I listened through a pair of normal ear buds, rather than my noise cancellers so I could hear the footy crew when they got home. The interesting thing wasn't so much the technical sophistication of the Air Video app. Media streaming is old news. Instead, I was taken by what a different experience it felt like to be able to watch TV on a good sized screen, wherever I wanted. It's not the first time I've watched vid on an iPad of course. I routinely borrowed my kids' first gen pads when I was travelling and I watched plenty of movies and TV in hotel rooms and on planes. But it felt qualitatively different to be able to put my feet up on the comfy couch in the library, late at night, glass of wine to hand, and watch this show on a display held close enough to produce the same immersive visual effect as a large widescreen seen from a distance. It was different enough that I began to wonder whether that big arse Bravia might be seeing less of me in the future. This isn't an iPad-only experience of course. Even the worst droid tab would produce the same effect. It made me wonder whether the TV will always be the electronic hearth of a home that it has been for the last half century or so. Household members, whether family or flatmates, are already used to splitting up and hiving off to do their own thing at second or even third TV sets, or computer screens, or gaming rigs. And I can imagine hand held TV accelerating that process even further. It's even possible to imagine, because I've seen it happen, a room full of people all with screens, sitting in one room, but watching different channels of media, encapsulated in their own little worlds. Against this you can posit the counter effect of social media like Twitter, and increasing numbers of apps such as the locally produced Twelevision, that serve to aggregate audiences around a show - creating the intimacy of old school viewing habits, where cohorts of like minded people enjoying watching something in each other's company - except with the twist that now they can be thousands of miles apart. It's possible to imagine a situation where, say, all the occupants of one home are gathered together but alone, watching separate channels, with their huge, offsite 'air families', while remaining largely oblivious to their real ones sitting right next to them. This is one of those curious paradoxes of the digital age. Creating intimacy even as we destroy it.

Sony slipup sets off cyber alarm
Jodi Gibson I'm one of the 77 million, but thankfully not one of the ten million. Still, I'll be changing all my deets as soon as I can get access to the network (hopefully this week) and I'd urge you to do the same thing as quickly as possible if you're likewise affected. It'll be interesting to see how this pans out over the next few months, or even years. Will Sony pick up the tab for any liabilities that arise from the mega-theft? Or will they fight them to the last ditch through the court systems of the world. More interesting, however, is whether it might cause people to be a little more circumspect about giving away their ID and credit information. If you think about it, you've probably entrusted yours to any number of online players. Some will be large companies, like iTunes or Amazon or XBL, and some small, like the nameless little internet shop you bought that GPS navigator from a couple of years back. There's no reason to assume any of them are any more secure than Sony. If the Pentagon can't keep its servers secure - and it can't - why we should trust private entities to do the same? And yet we have to. The world has already pushed well past the tipping point with online services. We expect them to be there for us, everywhere, in the cloud, 24/7 and we get anxious and pissed off when they're not. Here in Oz, with the dollar crushing the greenback underfoot we're fast reaching a local tipping point where shipping costs become irrelevant and it simply makes more sense to do as much of our consumption online as we can. But to do so, of course, we have to trust the net, the Cloud, the amorphous, invisible Far Away magic place where the magic happens. Until last week, it was easy enough to wave away any nagging concerns we might have had, at least about the big players, but now? Even if Sony turns out to have been cracked open by some spotty oik without a girlfriend, hacking away at their firewalls to impress his mates in Anonymous, you have to figure that altogether more serious players have taken note. You could have a lot of fun with ten million credit card numbers. I'll lay money on the barrelhead now that this happens again some time in the next two years, and it happens for real. A massive break-in of a supposedly secure server that delivers the IDs and credit card numbers of millions, or even tens of millions of punters into the hands somebody like the Russian maf' or someone even more interesting, a political insurgency, or even a rogue state. And for the same price I'll make another prediction. There'll be a Hollywood movie with this scenario as the major plot device within the same timeframe.
Digital downsizing: The new hunger for simplicity
I wonder sometimes if we've been fooling ourselves for years. If we didn't actually need most of the processing power and screen acreage we were either hauling around or parking on top of our desks. And as a supplementary question, will the new simplicity also remake the software world in the same way it's refashioning our hardware choices? You look at a bloated, feature-heavy program like Word, which most of will use at some point this week, and compare it to some of the simpler apps available in either iOS or on Android and you have to wonder why we keep forking out the dollars for the big dog. If you're running a sizeable business, I guess there might be an argument in favour of something with a little more grunt under the hood. The same way that certain professionals might need a fully pimped out laptop when they hit the road. But really most of us don't, do we? I mean, I crank out a couple of hundred thousand words a year for a living and if I was being honest about it, I could probably do most of it on a simple text editor. There are even programs like OmmWriter, which I'm using right now, specifically designed to appeal to this reborn hunger for simplicity. In the past my reasons for buying high-end computers have been to play graphics-intensive games and, for a while, to run a scanner. Neither justifications now hold any water. Most of my gaming is done on console or mobile devices and I no longer use a scanner, preferring dictation software to enter notes or even big slabs of text. There must be a similar imperative on the supply side too. Why invest tens of millions of dollars in developing, say, a headline console and PC game, when you and a couple of mates might get lucky writing the next break-out app? I write this, of course, sitting at a massive screen farm run off a top shelf iMac, but in the last twenty-four hours I've also written a chapter of my next book in a simple note-taking app on a borrowed iPad. I could write the whole thing in there if I had to, but obviously prefer the screen farm. Especially when I need to be able to access, say, a word processor, Google Earth, Wikipedia, Dragon Dicate and a bunch of online libraries all at the same time. But the bottom line is that's a preference, not a necessity. Being honest, could you get by using a cheaper machine that does less stuff, but with the advantage of, say, mobility and simplicity? And are you any more likely to go down that path with your next purchase?

|The distribution of the variance of primes in arithmetic progressions
|Algebra and Number Theory Seminar
|Daniel Fiorilli, University of Michigan
|Abstract Link:
|Gallagher's refinement of the Barban-Davenport-Halberstam states that V(x;q), the variance of primes up to x in the arithmetic progressions modulo q, is at most x log q, on average over q in the range x/(log x)^A < q < x. It was then discovered by Montgomery that in this range V(x;q) is actually asymptotic to x log q (on average over q); his result was refined by a long list of authors including Hooley, Goldston and Vaughan, and Friedlander and Goldston. Tools used in these papers include the circle method and divisor switching techniques, and under GRH and a strong from of the Hardy-Littlewood Conjecture it is now known that V(x;q) is asymptotic to x log q in the range x^{1/2+o(1)} < q< x. While it is not clear that the asymptotic should hold for more moderate values of q, Keating and Rudnick have proven an estimate for the function field analogue of V(x;q) which suggests that this range could be extended to x^{o(1)} < q< x. In this talk we will show how one can use probabilistic techniques to give evidence that V(x;q) should be asymptotic to x log q in the even wider range (log log x)^{1+o(1)} < q < x, and that this range is best possible.

ZF-9201: Zend_Validate_EmailAddress: 'mx' option is ignored
The 'mx' option of Zend_Validate_EmailAddress is practically ignored. It only has any effect, if 'deep' is set to true. More precisely, the private method '_validateMXRecords' does nothing and always returns true when 'deep' is false. This defect seems to have been introduced with r18050.
Not strictly related and perhaps my understanding of these issues is insufficient, but to me the documented behaviour of 'deep' and the implemented behaviour (again, in '_validateMXRecords') seems to be contradictory.
Lastly, I just noticed that the bug I'm reporting is captured by the unit test Zend_Validate_EmailAddressTest::testMXRecords if only one enables TESTS_ZEND_VALIDATE_ONLINE_ENABLED -- by default the test is skipped.
Patch contains: - Fix to library to correct for failed unit test - Adjusted test email addresses in the test to use different test domains. Including using rfc2606 example domains for the Bad email domains. http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2606.txt
Fixed with r21083

What is the status on this issue? Kevin, feel free to commit to trunk and test yourself after getting approval from Darby or one of the other team members. If no one else can do it, I'll look at it for you. Thanks for the contribution!
That patch will be very outdated - now Services are getting poked again I'll sort out something against trunk and go from there. I'll try to get it done quickly but I'm snowed under (not literally thankfully - too much travelling to want white stuff everywhere) just now.
This brings up my local patches to apply cleanly against trunk.
Sorry, I slipped up with a copy/paste boilerplate for the header on a file with the last patch. Ignore it and try this instead.
Tests fine locally.
Kevin, is committing these patches, along with unit tests and updates to the documentation, something you would be interested in doing? If so, please let me know, and I'll set you up with SVN commit access. :)
Go on then, sign me up as a fully fledged member and I'll try not to break anything :-)
I've sent your SVN credentials via e-mail; thanks for your support! :)

The last but not the least of my Goody Good Stuff sample reviews. This one is the Strawberry Cream flavor, which I think is a great flavor for gummi candy, but sadly you don't see it around very often. The most standard one that comes to mind are those that are shaped like strawberries and have that pink foam bottom to them, like these by Trolli. I know Haribo also does a version of them but I don't think I've ever encountered them myself. I think I've had the Trolli version of that though. Are you confused now? Good.
Anyways, I digress, and back to the Strawberry Cream gummis at hand made my Goody Good Stuff. These are also in their line of "vegetarian friendly gummies they have. I really loved the idea of these, and was even more excited when I saw the gummis through the window in the pretty package they come in. They're little berry shapes a little smaller than a penny. There's two colors: red for strawberry and white for cream. You can eat them alone or together.
See? They're pretty aren't they?
Strawberry: This one is more fruity and jammy, with ripe berry notes. Its has a nice sweetness to it. It's isn't too punchy or too mild.
Cream:The cream is mildly sweet and full of vanilla flavor at the very end. It's easy to consider this one just "sweet".
Together: The berry flavor is less pronounced, and it tastes much sweeter. You get an accent of vanilla towards the end which really makes the flavor feel well rounded.
These are simply adorable and I really like them. I can imagine them in other applications too, for instance I bet they'd be cute as cupcake decorations. So far I am really impressed with Goody Good Stuff, and I look forward to making a purchase to try more of their candies in the future.

Gordon Simpson, Senior Sports Reporter / / Saints News
"We are Southampton, we're Premier League."
It has taken seven years, but finally the Saints faithful are singing it again.
The cry echoed out proudly from St Mary's today and penetrated deep into the city, as the club celebrated an incredible and emotional return to the top flight.
Thousands poured onto the pitch at the end of the 4-0 demolition of Coventry, hoisting the players onto their shoulders.
It was a display of pure, unbridled joy, as every section of the club came, to put it in manager Nigel Adkins' words, together as one.
It was all in such stark contrast to the scenes on the final day of the 2004/05 season, when Manchester United played the role of executioner to Saints' Premier League life.
"We'll be back" the fans had defiantly cried after that numbing day.
It has taken longer than most could ever have imagined, but at last the prophecy has been fulfilled.
So much has transpired since that depressing afternoon – administration, a second relegation to League One, a ten-point deduction, and numerous managerial changes.
It has been a long and, at times, incredibly painful road.
But as the fans clambered down from the stands and lifted their heroes up in celebration, it was as if many of those miserable memories were being completely washed away.
Within seconds of the final whistle, the pitch was completely flooded with supporters.
They mobbed the players, they danced, they hugged, and they kissed the turf.
It was a glorious end to such a fantastic season.
The scenes were remarkable, as the realisation dawned that Saints are back in the big time.
Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool – that is the company the club will now be keeping.
Even Adkins could hardly believe it. Normally never lost for words, he could hardly speak in the minutes after the final whistle and had to choke back tears in the tunnel.
Eventually, the players fought their way through the crowds and back into the dressing room.
They sprayed champagne, they embraced each other and they sang together.
The enormity of their achievement – winning back-to-back promotions to take them from the third tier into the top flight – almost cannot be understated.
The celebrations continued as they made their way up to the directors' box, with Adkins, chairman Nicola Cortese, the backroom staff, and the players all saluting the crowd.
Promotions have been so rare in the history of Southampton Football Club – and these moments will be treasured by those lucky enough to have been inside St Mary's.
The only sad note was that the man who had made it all possible, Markus Liebherr, was not there to witness the iconic moment.
This was the day he had bought the club for, and the late owner's beaming smile should have graced this occasion. It would have lit up the day even more.
But his legacy still burns bright and, fittingly, he was not forgotten.
Liebherr's name was chanted throughout the match, and it boomed out from the enormous sea of fans on the pitch after the game.
It was a poignant and heartfelt display of affection from the supporters.
Although there had been the potential for tension and nerves, the overwhelming atmosphere before the game had been one of excitement.
Supporters knew the club stood on the brink of the top flight. There was no doom mongering, simply an air of expectancy.
And the players delivered in style.
The ground erupted when Adam Lallana's volley deflected off Billy Sharp and found the net to put Saints in front.
Any concern that had existed immediately disappeared.
And when Jose Fonte headed a second moments later, the party really began.
Saints weren't going to let it slip from that point, and the fans knew it. They belted out chant after chant and bounced up and down in celebration.
By the time the second half started, it was clear that the club were only heading in one direction.
Jos Hooiveld's goal and a deserved strike for the mesmerising Lallana served as the icing and the cherry on the most delicious of cakes.
The announcement that a record crowd of 32,363 had piled into the stadium brought a huge cheer.
The only boos that rang out came when the most pointless announcement of the season was relayed over the tannoy.
"Please remain in your seats at the final whistle," the voice pleaded. No chance.
Minutes before the end, the fans were already piling down the steps to the advertising boards.
As soon as the whistle was lifted to referee Anthony Taylor's mouth, the invasion began.
It was a magnificent moment, and one that will live long in the memory of all who were part of it.
Saints are back in the big time…
