Delawareans who are enrolling in health coverage through the federal Health Insurance Marketplace are urged to be alert to contacts from people fraudulently claiming to be related to the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare.
The state has received at least one recent report of a consumer who got a call from someone claiming to represent the Affordable Care Act who tried to collect a premium payment over the phone. When the consumer asked the person to confirm the consumer's address, the caller hung up.
After individuals apply for coverage they may get a phone call from the federal Health Insurance Marketplace asking them to verify or provide more information so a customer service representative can process the application. Follow these tips to help prevent fraud:
- The customer service representative will say they are calling from the Marketplace and provide a full name and agent identification number; write them down.
- A Marketplace representative may leave a message on your answering machine. If this happens, you won't be able to call back. If the Marketplace can't reach you after three tries, you will get a mailed letter telling you what to do next.
- Never give financial information, like your banking, credit card, or account numbers, to someone who calls or comes to your home uninvited, even if they say they are from the Marketplace.
- Callers might claim that you need a new Obamacare insurance or Medicare card. This is not true; you are not required to obtain new insurance or Medicare cards because of the Affordable Care Act.
- If you are contacted by anyone who says you are required to act during a "limited time" to purchase a new plan or update your information, simply hang up and do not give out any personal information. Do not reply to fraudulent emails or text messages.

As the Senate "Gang of 8″ completes its work on a Comprehensive Immigration Reform bill (CIR) and Congress prepares to debate its provisions, key leaders of New York's diverse faith communities joined with elected officials at a press conference held at the Community Church of New York, 40 East 35th Street in Manhattan, on April 5. One leader after another spoke to promote just and humane comprehensive immigration reform, urging Congress to use moral values as a guidepost.
Speakers included Monsignor Kevin Sullivan, Executive Director of Catholic Charities of New York; Pastor Gilford Monrose, Vice President of CUSH; Imam Talib Abdur Rashid, Mosque of the Islamic Brotherhood; Rabbi Michael Feinberg, Greater NY Labor-Religion Coalition; Congresswoman Yvette Clarke; Congressman Joseph Crowley; Congresswoman Nydia Velazquez; Chung-Wha Hong of the New York Immigration Coalition; along with several young New York City immigrants.
David Lopez, 19, an undocumented resident of Staten Island and victim of Superstorm Sandy, spoke about challenges he faces since the hurricane destroyed the apartment where he lived and the business where he worked. Now homeless, he is ineligible for FEMA assistance because of his immigration status.
"I started working from the bottom up," David said. "I want to become something to be able to help this country but I am unable to because of my status."
When Msgr. Sullivan came to the podium he thanked Mr. Lopez for sharing his story.
"Catholic Charities is both proud and privileged to be part of these new New Yorkers that contribute to the growth and well-being of this country, the one they call home," Msgr. Sullivan said. "We welcome comprehensive reform that provides a path out of the shadows, strengthens and reunites families and provides for fair and humane legal immigration opportunities."
Immigrants and advocates will make this case in Washington D.C. on April 10th at a massive mobilization and faith community vigil for citizenship. More than 2000 New Yorkers are expected to participate.
"It is both overdue and heartening that the critical issue of immigration reform is moving to the top of Washington's agenda," Monsignor Sullivan said. "Immigrants have not only helped build this nation, but so many of our vibrant institutions, including our parishes."

ASK IRA: What are the implications of Miller's injury?
Q: I just heard the news regarding Mike Miller. I cannot believe how unlucky he has been. Now the only question is does he have any trade value or does Riley cut and run? It's sad. He never had the chance to contribute. — Chet.
A: Here's where it gets interesting: Mike played a few weeks back in Dwight Howard's charity game in Orlando. If the Heat can prove he sustained the injury there or exacerbated it, they could be in position to void the contract. That, in turn, would open an amnesty avenue with Joel Anthony, who, of course, also currently stands as the Heat's starting center. I doubt the Heat would take such a drastic step with Mike Miller. But I do remember Riley's Anthony Carter moment.
Q: Hypothetically speaking (of course), since I know Riley would never do it: From a purely basketball standpoint, would you, as general manager of the Heat, consider using the amnesty rule on Bosh to sign two or three current free agents? — Josh.
A: You would never do that as a trade, so why would you do it as amnesty? Invariably, when you move the best player in the trade, you lose the trade. Besides, while amnesty covers cap and tax liability, it still means paying Chris the $100 million he is still due.
Q: With the trade rumors flying around about Chris Paul, would it be a smart move to trade Bosh for Paul and move Haslem back as starting power forward? Don't you think it's better than anything the Knicks could offer? — Dennis.
A: Intriguing, and perhaps good enough for the Hornets to consider. But that would leave the Heat loaded on the perimeter, without anything resembling a post scoring threat.
Q: Hi, Ira. With the recent news that Tyson Chandler says he is leaving Dallas, I feel the Heat should try and get him. He would be a great fit as he doesn't demand the ball, is great defensively and has a decent offensive game. — Conor.
A: He is threatening to leave the Mavericks because they won't offer the type of money the Heat have no ability to offer. He's re-signing there. This is all part of the free-agency dance.
Q: Why does LeBron have to be so chummy with every "next" superstar? I'm not saying go old school and not pick guys up when they fall down on the court, but dude has been best friends with Durant all summer. The summer before it was with Melo. So who is it next year, Rose? — Julio.
A: Because there is basketball and there is marketing. It's all about positioning yourself.

ZF-5030: Failure to parse Zend_Locale objects is Zend_Locale::isLocale
After upgrading to Zend Framework 1.7 (from 1.6.2) Zend_Date objects started throwing exceptions on construction with an error "Given locale (Object id #1) does not exist" when they are passed a Zend_Locale object (They construct fine if given a locale string [eg. en_AU])
This has been traced back to Zend_Locale::_prepareLocale() where it evaluates the Zend_Locale object passed (valid) as a string and converts it into the string "Object id #1".
Test code:
require_once '/opt/library/Zend/Locale.php';
require_once '/opt/library/Zend/Date.php';
$locale1 = new Zend_Locale('en_AU');
//This Works
if (!Zend_Locale::isLocale('en_AU', true, false))
echo "Zend Locale failed to identify local string as valid";
//This doesn't
if (!Zend_Locale::isLocale($locale1, true, false))
echo "Zend Locale failed to idenfiy a Zend_Local object as valid";
$date = new Zend_Date();
$date->setLocale($locale1); //Throws Exception
PHP Notice: Object of class Zend_Locale to string conversion in /opt/library/Zend/Locale.php on line 885 Zend Locale failed to idenfiy a Zend_Local object as validPHP Notice: Object of class Zend_Locale to string conversion in /opt/library/Zend/Locale.php on line 885 PHP Notice: Object of class Zend_Locale to string conversion in /opt/library/Zend/Locale.php on line 885 PHP Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Zend_Date_Exception' with message 'Given locale (Object id #1) does not exist' in /opt/library/Zend/Date.php:4517 Stack trace: #0 /tmp/test.php(17): Zend_Date->setLocale(Object(Zend_Locale)) #1 {main} thrown in /opt/library/Zend/Date.php on line 4517
Actually this looks like a issue with the string conversion issue. When the locale is converted to a string with (string) $locale, this is where the "Object id #1" appears.
This is with php version 1.5.6 (RHEL5 package). Looking at the PHP documentation there are differences in how the __toString magic method is applied between 5.1 and 5.2 (http://au.php.net/oop5.magic) could this be related.
Test code:
require_once '/opt/library/Zend/Locale.php';
require_once '/opt/library/Zend/Date.php';
echo "Test 1\n";
$locale1 = new Zend_Locale('en_AU');
echo "\n";
echo "Test 2\n";
$convert = (string) $locale1;
echo $convert;
echo "\n";
"Test 3\n";
$convert2 = $locale1->toString();
echo $convert2;
echo "\n";
Test 1 Zend_Locale Object ( [_locale:protected] => en_AU ) Test 2 Object id #1 Test 3 en_AU
Sorry, but the minimum requirements for ZF are 5.2.4 and not 1.5.6 !
http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/… states that 1.5.4 is the minimum requirement with recommended 5.2.3.
5.1.6 is the version shipped with Redhat Enterprise Linux 5.2 (latest version). I would think that Zend Framework is aiming to support the latest in Enterprise releases?!
No... PHP 1.5.4 is not supported by ZF.
According to manual: A.1. PHP Version Zend recommends PHP 5.2.3 or higher for critical security and performance enhancements, although Zend Framework requires only PHP 5.1.4 or later.
But, and this is emminent, ZF can not solve problems of php itself. PHP 5.1.4, 5.2.1 and 5.2.5, which are the versions I am testing against, behave correct. You could run unittests to check this. With such a problem within PHP also other classes will not work.
Can you please run the two tests I posted above and let me know if you get the same or different results with your v5.1.4? Looking into the issue further there are enough documented cases that the magic method does not work in any version of 5.1 and you should use $object->__toString() instead of (String)$object
If 5.1.4 is indeed the minimum requirement then should the components using the magic method be modified to call the __toString function directly? Otherwise the doco needs to be updated that parts of 1.7 won't work on php 5.1 (eg Redhat 5 distributed versions). I know the Framework can't fix problems with php (only working around them) but there is a valid method that works across these versions.
Should I move this to the email list for further discussion?
I added a forth test, which you have missed:
This are my results:
PHP Version:5.1.4
Test 1
Zend_Locale Object
[_locale:protected] => en_AU
Test 2
Object id #1
Test 3
Test 3
PHP Version:5.2.5
Test 1
Zend_Locale Object
[_locale:protected] => en_AU
Test 2
Test 3
Test 3
boolean true
And these are my problems... wether in 5.1.4 nor in 5.2.5 I can reproduce this.
You did reproduced this in your 5.1.4 PHP installation. Test 2 outputted "Object id #1" which shows the __toString magic method didn't fire.
This issue was not about a PHP 5.1.4 problem, this issue was about this failing code:
if (!Zend_Locale::isLocale($locale1, true, false))
echo "Zend Locale failed to idenfiy a Zend_Local object as valid";
which I tested with the 4th test I added.... and both PHP versions return true.
Under 5.1.4 with (bool) true and under 5.2.5 with boolean true. But, and this is what you originally issued, both return true when calling isValid running actual trunk.
I have this problem on 5.1.6 too (CentOS) And all works good on 5.2(Debian Stable)

"I'll go," said Chagataev. "But what will I do there? Build socialism?"
"What else?" said the secretary.
Well I guess you could stretch the latter to four. I was there a few extra days and my finals were really late
i retract what i said. even counting those its around three weeks.
How long do you guys get between semesters? We're lucky to get more than a week or two between terms.
Three weeks in the winter and then like three months in summer.
i have 6 weeks
"I'll go," said Chagataev. "But what will I do there? Build socialism?"

ZF-6133: Zend_Validate_Hostname fails if Punycode is used for IDN
If ACE is used for an IDN like müller.de (which is xn--mller-kva.de) Zend_Validate_Hostname fails, because the ACE prefix has a dash in the third and fourth position. At least the IDNA prefix xn-- should be supported, as there are a couple of use-cases, that allow using ACE in RFC 3490.
As exposing the user to raw ACE should be avoided if possible the support for xn-- can be added as an option, which defaults to false.
Reproduce with: <?php require_once 'Zend/Validate/Hostname.php'; $validate = new Zend_Validate_Hostname(); var_dump($validate->isValid('müller.de')); var_dump($validate->isValid('xn--mller-kva.de')); ?>
Result: bool(true) bool(false)
Expected: bool(true) bool(true)
Task can be assigned to me. Some feedback would be nice.
Supporting punycode raises some other issues which have to be solved.
One is coding: It has to be checked if the resulting IDN is supported after punycode has been translated. Second is length: Punycode produces longer strings then IDN which would fail when their length is checked.
I see this not as bug but as improvement as punycode is until now not supported.
New feature implemented with r14556

Wis. Food Prices Stable
Submitted: 04/07/2013
Story By Associated Press
- Wisconsin food prices remained relatively stable, despite recent energy spikes and last summer's drought.
The Wisconsin Farm Bureau says the average cost for 16 food items rose about 1 percent since late 2012.
The bureau's market basket even rang up $1.63 less for the same items in a national survey.
A Bureau spokesman says several factors may impact prices this year. One of them is a sustained increase in global energy prices. A late freeze in the spring growing season like Wisconsin had last year, would cause disruptions in fruit and vegetable production.

Volunteers Document Wildlife
Submitted: 06/24/2016

- You don't expect to see crowds in secluded parts of Iron County, but loons tend to be a big draw.
"There's a lot of people who have had interest in loon research," said DNR wildlife biologist John Olson.
"Monitor change overtime in the wildlife population here in the Turtle Flambeau Flowage. Are loons increasing or staying stable or decreasing the numbers of breeding pair?" said retired wildlife biologist, Bruce Bacon.
The community has shown interest in the animal and with the research collected, the volunteers can maintain a steady population of loons in the water.
"Over the years, there have been a number of people who have done real exciting loon work up here," said Olson.
Over the last few surveys, the DNR have decided to expand its research to all wildlife in water and on land, not just the loons.
"The survey has developed into being more all-inclusive of any wildlife we see out here. Especially breeding birds," said Olson.
Some animals seen on Friday include a deer and her fawn, ducks, geese, eagles, ospreys, and of course multiple loons.
The Turtle Flambeau Flowage is a total of 14,000 acres. Individual volunteers maintain the area year round. If they notice a home or shelter destroyed, they will help start a new one for the animals.
"It's rewarding to see a place like the Turtle Flambeau Flowage in Wisconsin and this monitoring gives us a sense of how to monitor and protect it," said Bacon.
Overall, the goal for the group is to collect data on the animals and maintain that number to keep the Northwoods booming with wildlife.
The power of volunteerism was in full effect on Friday. Six boats covered all 14,000 acres of the Turtle Flambeau Flowage.

Pelagornis sandersi: Scientists discover what may be the biggest bird ever to fly
(CNN) -- Imagine a bird that couldn't fit in your living room because its wings were too big.
That's exactly what would happen if you tried to bring the Pelagornis sandersi home -- assuming houses and humans existed back then.
Scientists have identified the fossils of what could be the largest flying bird ever found.
With an estimated 20- to 24-foot wingspan, the extinct P. sandersi was twice the size of today's biggest flying bird, the royal albatross, according to the National Evolutionary Synthesis Center in North Carolina.
Researchers believe the P. sandersi lived about 25 to 28 million years ago.
The avian giant's long, slender wings and paper-thin hollow bones allowed it to stay aloft for long distances without flapping its wings, the center said.
But that doesn't mean the mammoth bird didn't have size issues while trying to fly.
Because it was probably too big to take off from a standstill, the P. sandersi may have had to run downhill into a headwind to achieve takeoff -- just like a hang glider would.
The bird's fossils were first unearthed 31 years ago when construction workers starting working on a new terminal at the Charleston International Airport in South Carolina. The remains -- including a complete skull and multiple wing and leg bones -- were so big they had to be dug up with a backhoe.
But the weight of the discovery wasn't publicized until this week, when scientists unveiled the findings in the journal "Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences."
The remains of the P. sandersi now rest in the Charleston Museum. The big bird's name honors retired Charleston Museum curator Albert Sanders.

Published: Wednesday, February 13, 2013 at 11:47 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, February 13, 2013 at 7:44 p.m.
A traffic stop led to the discovery of a mobile meth lab, South Daytona interim Police Chief Ron Wright said, and the suspect was very familiar to police.
Officers stopped Josh Fields at 601 Beville Road just before noon Wednesday, Wright said, and found a meth lab in the trunk of his car.
Fields is no stranger to police, Wright said. He was arrested Monday and charged with possession of methamphetamine, possession of drug paraphernalia and driving with a revoked license, records show.
A booking officer at the Volusia County Branch Jail said Fields is being held with bail set at $53,000.

The Truck Stops Here
Extreme-duty snowplow
Boss Snowplows
The BOSS Power-V XT multiposition plow features a 37-in. flared blade wing that clears paths through any type of snow.
Available in two models, it removes heavy, wet snow, breaks through massive snowdrifts, and clears snow from doors and buildings. Features include 1/2x6-in. high-performance cutting edges, a chainless hydraulic cylinder lifting system, and a sight system that allows operators to align the truck and plow from the comfort of the cab.
Automated transmission
The automated UltraShift HV (Highway Valve) medium-duty transmission features an optional park pawl that, when engaged, simultaneously locks the transmission and the vehicle's drivetrain and driven wheels.
The feature ensures that the vehicle remains stationary when parked, which creates a driving environment more like that of an automobile than a commercial truck.
The transmission also can engage the hold mode in any gear for continuous operation on a variety of grades.
Secure storage
Knaack Manufacturing Co.
Monster Box jobsite storage solutions feature heavy-duty tubular steel framing and recessed locks that are UL-rated and weather- and drill-resistant.
The four-point crane lift system supports 2500 lbs., and the Power Pass grommet allows pass-through of electrical cords with the box closed and locked.
The 1010 Chest has 31-cu.ft. storage capacity, the 1000 Piano Box holds 48 cu. ft., and the 1020 Cabinet holds 52 cu. ft.
Air filters for engines
Baldwin Filters
Channel Flow air filters need less installation space than most, and offer twice the capacity (1 unit of contaminant per unit volume).
The flat and corrugated media, formed by a honeycomb network of channels, eliminates the need for a center tube and wrapper. Air enters open channels, contaminants are trapped inside the filter, and clean air flows out adjacent open channels.
This straight-through design increases air flow so high-performance engines can meet tough exhaust emission standards.
Fleet management
Digital Dispatch Systems Inc.
Available via any Internet browser, efleet is a hosted fleet management service that includes wireless dispatching, GPS tracking, and job updates. It includes the Vector 530 mobile data terminal and the iPilot 8000 mobile data touch-screen computer.
Each has an easy-to-read display, intuitive user interface, clear day and nighttime viewing, and audible alerts. The optional SmartPrint mobile printer authorizes credit cards and prints professional receipts.
Vehicle lifts
Girolift USA/Canada Hydraulic Equipment.
With15,000- to 60,000-lb. lifting capacities, Girolift lifts have few moving parts (no chains, cables, or pulleys) for easy operation and low maintenance.
Seven models are available, all featuring trouble-free hydraulic synchronization. Each also has a direct-lift cylinder in each post; mechanical locks in each column with single-point, air-operated release; and a built-in jack rail that doubles as an air supply.
Truck bed
Blue Ridge Manufacturing
Designed for ??- and 1-ton trucks, the ProContractor truck bed provides durability and Western style. It has a high-gloss, black powder-coat finish and is shot-blasted and pre-treated with iron phosphate and steam.
Other features include an asphalt undercoating, reinforced wheel compartment, and gooseneck hitch compartment with trap door, ball-mounting hitch plate, and D-ring.
Custom lay-down sides offer easy-access cargo control.
Cargo trailer
Adrian Steel Co.
The company's trailer products include storage modules with cabinets, drawers, and adjustable shelving for all sorts of tools, equipment, and ladders.
Choose preconfigured, trade-specific storage modules or mix and match components to create a custom module. Shelving units and preconfigured modules include a Z-rail kit for installing to the trailer.
Low-flow valve controls
Parker Hannifin Corp.
The VO40 Open-Center Directional Control Valve for compact equipment is rated at 10.6 gpm and 4350 psi. This low-flow sectional valve can be stacked to 10 sections. It offers a lock-valve option for applications where no leakage or function drift is allowed. Plus, its unique spool design reduces cycle time and its large cross-section seals ensure reliable operation and eliminate the chance of incorrect assembly during service or restacking.
Air heaters and coolant heaters
Espar Products
The company's compact air heaters have heat outputs from 6000 to 41,000 BTU and two to four heat levels for cycling between levels to maintain the user-set temperature.
Also available, with outputs from 5500 to 120,000 BTU, are compact coolant heaters for applications ranging from engine preheating to supplemental heating. They cycle between two to four heat levels to maintain a constant water temperature called for by the control unit. Safety features including flame sensors, temperature regulating, and overheat sensors.
Public fleet managers oversee diverse fleets, specifying everything from flat-bed trucks and utility vans to garbage trucks and trailers.
While vehicle options are growing in complexity and sophistication, you're under increasing pressure to document taxpayer return on investment.
Given these two factors, you can't just buy what you've always bought.
To keep maintenance and operation costs down, the NTEA recommends a simple four-step design process to ensure you deliver vehicles that meet all your customers' needs.
Don't be satisfied with, "I need a pickup truck." Thoroughly explore what will make that truck most productive for that department. Perhaps a simple class upgrade will add durability to the vehicle and extend its life.
Ask what the vehicle will be used for. Exactly what will that department be hauling? How far will it be driven, and how often? What special circumstances will drivers and/or operators encounter, and how often?
For example, will the truck haul equipment? Does the driver need to be able to get equipment on and off the truck frequently? Will material be hauled to unpaved jobsites? What kind of material is being hauled, and how much? Will the truck have different uses at different times of the year? How many employees will it carry regularly?
Think about the environment in which the vehicle will be driven. Consider how features can improve or hinder productivity. Look at the performance of that department's current trucks. Ask drivers which truck styles and equipment they prefer, and why.
Now that you've identified what the vehicle must do, figure out how to make it happen.
How much payload weight and volume will the vehicle have to carry? What are the dimensional requirements, based on the size and shape of materials that are transported? Will the vehicle be used to plow snow?
Then ask about performance requirements.
What's the optimal speed with a full load, braking considerations, and fuel economy? If alternative fuel or hybrid technology is important, determine the availability and costs of alternate fuels so your customer can weigh the cost-effectiveness and performance of traditional versus alternative fuels.
What type of truck body and/or special equipment does the customer need? Account for the size of special equipment to be upfitted to the chassis; the weight of these components; cargo storage needs; component installation requirements and operational requirements, such as power sources for equipment; and equipment access.
You also must account for accessory items like generators, hose reels, and compressors. Your dealer can be a useful resource in this process.
How often will employees drive the truck in the city, on the highway, off-highway, and in combination? Will they use it predominantly in level or hilly terrain? Evaluate its operational cycle, including desired cycle time and daily hours of operation. Also consider loading cycle, climate/weather, and maintenance.
These factors will help you select the correct engine, transmission, and other components.
For example, if the vehicle will be used in temperatures above 90° F for an extended period, you may want to upgrade the engine and transmission cooling systems, select high-temperature-rated tires, and specify deeply tinted glass in the cab. In very humid climates, you may choose to relocate air system tanks or use remote drain systems to facilitate manual draining, install upgraded air dryers, and specify heated mirrors and windows.
Look for common failure patterns to see if you need to upgrade vehicle specifications. Typical high-maintenance areas include suspension systems, front-end/ steering, brakes, engines, transmissions, differentials, and vehicle frames.
This can also alert you to other potential issues. If a particular truck has higher maintenance costs than similar vehicles in the fleet, that truck's driver may be responsible. Repeated repairs within a short period may point to poor maintenance and repair procedures.

The following are 25 facts that the mainstream media doesnt really want to talk about right now
#1 The mainstream media doesnt really want to talk about the fact that gun sales are absolutely skyrocketing in the aftermath of the horrific tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
The mainstream media doesnt really want to talk about the fact that disarming the population has resulted in some of the most horrific massacres in human history. The following is from the Warrior Times
1911 Turkey disarmed its citizens, and between 1915 1917 they murdered 1.5 million Armenians.
1929 Russia disarmed its citizens, and between 1929 1953 they murdered 20 million Russians.
1935 China disarmed its citizens, and between 1948 1952 they murdered 50 million Chinese.
1938 Germany disarmed its citizens, and between 1939 1945 they murdered 16 million Jews.
1956 Cambodia disarmed its citizens, and between 1975 1977 they murdered 1 million Educated people.
1964 Guatemala disarmed its citizens, and between 1964 1981 they murdered 100,000 Mayan Indians.
1970 Uganda disarmed its citizens, and between 1971 1979 they murdered 300,000 Christians.
The following was written by Larry Correia. I copied it because I cannot say it better.
Gun Free Zones
Gun Free Zones are hunting preserves for innocent people. Period.
Think about it. You are a violent, homicidal madman, looking to make a statement and hoping to go from disaffected loser to most famous person in the world. The best way to accomplish your goals is to kill a whole bunch of people. So wheres the best place to go shoot all these people? Obviously, it is someplace where nobody can shoot back.
In all honesty I have no respect for anybody who believes Gun Free Zones actually work. You are going to commit several hundred felonies, up to and including mass murder, and you are going to refrain because there is a sign? That No Guns Allowed sign is not a cross that wards off vampires. It is wishful thinking, and really pathetic wishful thinking at that.
The only people who obey No Guns signs are people who obey the law. People who obey the law arent going on rampages.
I testified before the Utah State Legislature about the University of Utahs gun ban the day after the Trolley Square shooting in Salt Lake City. Another disaffected loser scumbag started shooting up this mall. He killed several innocent people before he was engaged by an off duty police officer who just happened to be there shopping. The off duty Ogden cop pinned down the shooter until two officers from the SLCPD came up from behind and killed the shooter. (turned out one of them was a customer of mine) I sent one of my employees down to Trolley Square to take a picture of the shopping centers front doors. I then showed the picture to the legislators. One of the rules was NO GUNS ALLOWED.
The man that attacked the midnight showing of Batman didnt attack just any theater. There were like ten to choose from. He didnt attack the closest. It wasnt about biggest or smallest. He attacked the one that was posted NO GUNS ALLOWED.
There were four mass killing attempts this week. Only one made the news because it helped the agreed upon media narrative.
Oregon. NOT a gun free zone. Shooter confronted by permit holder. Shooter commits suicide. Only a few casualties.
Texas. NOT a gun free zone. Shooter killed immediately by off duty cop. Only a few casualties.
Connecticut. GUN FREE ZONE. Shooters kills until the police arrive. Suicide. 26 dead.
China. GUN FREE COUNTRY. A guy with a KNIFE stabs 22 children.
And here is the nail in the coffin for Gun Free Zones. Over the last fifty years, with only one single exception (Gabby Giffords), every single mass shooting event with more than four casualties has taken place in a place where guns were supposedly not allowed.

Student-athletes and staff from the University of Oregon Athletic Department embarked on a nine-day trip to the Dominican Republic from June 15-23. The UO contingent teamed up with Courts for Kids, a tax-exempt organization which regularly works with local groups and community members to build courts which provide youth with the opportunity to play sports.
The 20 representatives from UO traveled specifically to Los Cerros which is part of the rural town of Don Juan located two hours north of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. The team stayed with host families in very primitive conditions with bucket baths, latrines, sparse electricity and even sparser light bulbs.
The group immediately began construction on the court once they settled into their modest living quarters. An assembly line of responsibility was quickly formed: moving water by hand and foot with the use of a bucket, leveling sand on the playing surface, shoveling sand into the cement mixer.
On the first day, the team was assigned the task of leveling a huge pile of dirt which would serve as the foundation for the playing surface.
Day two on the job included pouring and spreading the concrete. Approximately 30 percent of the court was done by the second day of labor.
Then there was some adversity for the group in day three, as the dump trucks could not get close to the construction site because overnight monsoon rains made the road impassable. This required the team to move the sand -- which was used to make concrete -- down a slippery hill by use of wheelbarrow and buckets. The task of moving the sand closer to the court took six hours.
Once the pile of sand was relocated, the team continued its assembly line of responsibility. The court was completed by morning's end on the fourth day of work.
Despite some adversity which included a difficult language barrier with the locals, the workers bonded together through some hot and humid conditions.
Following the completion of the court, both the UO contingent and local volunteers christened the surface with some sporting competition.
On the final evening, the locals hosted a bonfire and special ceremony at the court to celebrate its completion. Local youth performed dances and community leaders were recognized for their part in the construction of the playing surface. The court will serve as one of the only communal sites in the area for locals to come together in large numbers.
It was a valuable trip for the UO student-athletes (representing eight different varsity sports teams) as they experienced a different culture and interacted with a population who possess different values and norms.

Talking JavaOne with Rock Star Martijn Verburg
By Janice J. Heiss on Sep 27, 2012
JavaOne Rock Stars, conceived in 2005, are the top-rated speakers at each JavaOne Conference. They are awarded by their peers, who, through conference surveys, recognize them for their outstanding sessions and speaking ability. Over the years many of the world's leading Java developers have been so recognized.
Martijn Verburg has, in recent years, established himself as an
important mover and shaker in the Java community. His "Diabolical
Developer" session at the JavaOne 2011 Conference got people's attention
by identifying some of the worst practices Java developers are prone to
engage in. Among other things, he is co-leader and organizer of the
thriving London Java User Group (JUG) which has more than 2,500 members,
co-represents the London JUG on the Executive Committee of the Java
Community Process, and leads the global effort for the Java User Group
"Adopt a JSR" and "Adopt OpenJDK" programs.
Career highlights include overhauling technology stacks and SDLC practices at Mizuho International, mentoring Oracle on technical community management, and running off shore development teams for AIG. He is currently CTO at jClarity, a start-up focusing on automating optimization for Java/JVM related technologies, and Product Advisor at ZeroTurnaround. He co-authored, with Ben Evans, "The Well-Grounded Java Developer" published by Manning and, as a leading authority on technical team optimization, he is in high demand at major software conferences.
Verburg is participating in five sessions, a busy man indeed. Here they are:
- CON6152 - Modern Software Development Antipatterns (with Ben Evans)
- UGF10434 - JCP and OpenJDK: Using the JUGs' "Adopt" Programs in Your Group (with Csaba Toth)
- BOF4047 - OpenJDK Building and Testing: Case Study—Java User Group OpenJDK Bugathon (with Ben Evans and Cecilia Borg)
- BOF6283 - 101 Ways to Improve Java: Why Developer Participation Matters (with Bruno Souza and Heather Vancura-Chilson)
- HOL6500 - Finding and Solving Java Deadlocks (with Heinz Kabutz, Kirk Pepperdine, Ellen Kraffmiller and Henri Tremblay)
- A lack of communication -- Software development is far more a
social activity than a technical one; most projects fail because of
communication issues and social dynamics, not because of a bad technical
decision. Sadly, many developers never learn this lesson.
- No source control -- Developers simply storing code in local filesystems and emailing code in order to integrate
- Design-driven Design -- The need for some developers to cram
every design pattern from the Gang of Four (GoF) book into their source
All of which raises the question: If these practices are so bad,
why do developers engage in them? "I've seen a wide gamut of reasons,"
said Verburg, who lists them as:
* They were never taught at high school/university that their bad habits were harmful.
* They weren't mentored in their first professional roles.
* They've lost passion for their craft.
* They're being deliberately malicious!
* They think software development is a technical activity and not a social one.
* They think that they'll be able to tidy it up later.
A couple of key confusions and misconceptions beset Java developers, according to Verburg.
"With Java and the JVM in particular I've seen a couple of trends,"
he remarked. "One is that developers think that the JVM is a magic box
that will clean up their memory, make their code run fast, as well as
make them cups of coffee. The JVM does help in a lot of cases, but bad
code can and will still lead to terrible results! The other trend is to
try and force Java (the language) to do something it's not very good at,
such as rapid web development. So you get a proliferation of overly
complex frameworks, libraries and techniques trying to get around the
fact that Java is a monolithic, statically typed, compiled, OO
environment. It's not a Golden Hammer!"
I asked him about the keys to running a good Java User Group. "You need to have a 'Why,'" he observed. "Many user groups know what they do (typically, events) and how they do it (the logistics), but what really drives users to join your group and to stay is to give them a purpose. For example, within the LJC we constantly talk about the 'Why,' which in our case is several whys:
* Re-ignite the passion that developers have for their craft
* Raise the bar of Java developers in London
* We want developers to have a voice in deciding the future of Java
* We want to inspire the next generation of tech leaders
* To bring the disparate tech groups in London together
* So we could learn from each other
* We believe that the Java ecosystem forms a cornerstone of our society today -- we want to protect that for the future
Looking ahead to Java 8 Verburg expressed excitement about Lambdas.
"I cannot wait for Lambdas," he enthused. "Brian Goetz and his group are doing a great job, especially given some of the backwards compatibility that they have to maintain. It's going to remove a lot of boiler plate and yet maintain readability, plus enable massive scaling."
Check out Martijn Verburg at JavaOne if you get a chance, and, stay tuned for a longer interview yours truly did with Martijn to be publish on otn/java some time after JavaOne.

ZF-2423: Some documents did NOT follow the DTD rules
When "make check" English documents, it would show some error messages that some documents did not follow the DTD rules.
Here is one example:
Issue this command:
make XMLFILE=Zend_Currency-Useage.xml check1
It would get
_temp_Zend_Currency-Useage.xml:54: element example: validity error : Element example content does not follow the DTD, expecting (blockinfo? , (title , titleabbrev?) , (calloutlist | glosslist | bibliolist | itemizedlist | orderedlist | segmentedlist | simplelist | variablelist | literallayout | programlisting | programlistingco | screen | screenco | screenshot | synopsis | cmdsynopsis | funcsynopsis | classsynopsis | fieldsynopsis | constructorsynopsis | destructorsynopsis | methodsynopsis | formalpara | para | simpara | address | blockquote | graphic | graphicco | mediaobject | mediaobjectco | informalequation | informalexample | informalfigure | informaltable | indexterm | beginpage | procedure)+), got (title para programlisting note )
When I moved tag out of the tag, this error message had gone.
To follow DTD rules, I suggest all concerned developers use
make XMLFILE="Zend_Xxxx-Yyyy.xml" check1
command to check the documents you are working on and fix the non-compliance problem in the documents.
Pretty sure there was a 'not' missing from the title. :)
darby, can you fix these docs for the 1.0.4 release or delegate to someone in the community? Do we know if these were the cause of the segfaults in building the docs somehow?
Thanks Wil for correcting my English mistake.
I am working on a shell script that can move all tags out of tags and put them right after the closed tag.
Not finished yet, but will be ok soon.
If you need, I can do this part.
@[~wil]: Having a list of the affected files would be a good start toward resolving the issue. I don't know of any evidence that this specific non-compliance with DocBook DTD is responsible for the segfault I have experienced when trying to build the Simplified Chinese documentation. Actually, I think it is not related, since this issue applies to the English "master" documentation, and, as far as I know, Simplified Chinese is the only language for which the build segfaults.
@[~jason qi]: Excellent, I thank you and look forward to seeing the developments! :)
There are only two files did not follow this rule.
Zend_Currency-Useage.xml and Zend_View-Helpers-Partial.xml
However, there are still many other non-compliance with DocBook DTD rules, I think it is better for me to create another issue to list them.
Changing to comply with new IT coventions for components.

Baltimore County News
Della J. Leister, R.N.
Deputy Health Officer
Baltimore County Department of Health
When you think about fall, what comes to mind? Colorful leaves, cooler temperatures…getting a flu shot? For those of us at the Baltimore County Department of Health, fall is the time when we promote the importance of getting vaccinated to prevent the spread of flu.
The best way to prevent the flu is by knowing the FACTS.
Frequently wash your hands.
Washing hands with soap and warm water for 20-30 seconds is the best form of protection to reduce the spread of germs. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
Always get an annual flu shot.
Flu viruses are always changing; last season's flu vaccine may not protect against newer viruses, and annual vaccination is the only way to maintain protection each season.
Cover your coughs and sneezes.
Use a tissue to cover your coughs and sneezes, then throw it away. If you do not have a tissue, cough and sneeze into the crease of your arm (elbow area) to prevent your droplets from spreading. Never cough or sneeze into your hands.
Take time off from school, work and social activities if you have symptoms.
People who have the flu often have these symptoms:
• Fever or feeling feverish/chills
• Cough
• Sore throat
• Runny or stuffy nose
• Muscle or body aches
• Headaches
• Fatigue (tiredness)
Seek medical care if your symptoms get worse.
If your condition does not improve after taking over-the-counter medication to alleviate symptoms, call your doctor.
If you are looking to "stay in the game," plan to get a flu shot. The Baltimore County Department of Health will offer free flu shots on Saturday, October 5, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at seven locations while supplies last. For more information, call 410-887-BCHD (2243).
Revised April 6, 2016

Mercedes joined Caterham, Marussia and HRT as the only teams not to score a single point in the United States GP…
Nico Rosberg: "It was a difficult weekend for us and unfortunately we weren't able to score any points today
Michael Schumacher: "I can't find any words other than ironic ones for the race today - there was a lot of action around me but unfortunately in the wrong direction. To say that the race was a real struggle would be an understatement. I couldn't get any grip from my first set of tyres, and there must have been some kind of damage for them to perform so badly. We had to change our strategy to two stops which then compromised our race even further. All in all, it was much worse than expected today, especially considering that things did not look that bad yesterday and Friday."
Vitaly Petrov: "For me that was just about as much as I could get out of the car today so I'm pleased with how it went. The start was pretty crazy, everyone on cold tyres going into turn one with a load of cars going off track, but I got through cleanly and as soon as my tyres came up to temperature I pulled away from the cars behind pretty comfortably. We'd planned to do just one stop and it was timed perfect, the boys got me out quickly when we switched to the hard compound so it all went as we wanted. The tyre degradation was also pretty low - we'd seen from the long runs on Friday that it wouldn't really be a problem, but apart from a small vibration I had from the brakes for the last third of the race, it was a good afternoon without any issues."
Heikki Kovalainen: "That was one of those races where we probably couldn't have got much more out of the car. I've had issues all weekend with getting heat into the front tyres and it was the same again today for the first few laps. At the start I made up one place and then passed Glock pretty quickly and from there it was relatively easy to control my pace for the rest of the race. The stop went fine, the pitcrew did a very good job today, and apart from the tyre issue, it was about as much as we could have hoped for."
Timo Glock: "Overall it was a strong race for us, even though we had been hoping for something more. The first lap was a bit all over the place; I lost the car twice. Vitaly was able to overtake me because of that and at first it was a struggle to stay with him because of the KERS advantage. Then Heikki got past and it was the same story; struggling at first, but then closing back up to him. I stayed with him from there and we decided to pit a little early to see if we could find a way past, but they pitted at the same time unfortunately. Late in the race I was able to get past Heikki in Turn 12 but in Turn 15 he dived in again and retook position, pushing me off the track a bit. Our race pace was very strong and this is just one of a few positives we take away from here, where we have made big steps again and of course we leave holding onto 10th place in the Constructors' Championship. Our big picture remains very positive for us and we look forward to continuing to push hard in Brazil next weekend. Finally I have to say we have had a great week here in Austin and the race team's efforts have matched those back at the factory in enabling us to keep improving at this late stage of the season."
Charles Pic: "It was a tough race today, I have to say. I had some contact into Turn 1 and after that I suffered with understeer throughout the whole race. We know now that the front wing was damaged. It was very difficult to keep the temperature in the tyre in the second stint, with all the blue flags, and we lost some time because of that. It is a little disappointing after the progress we have made here; after yesterday's qualifying performance we were looking good for a strong race. However, towards the end at least, I was able to recover a little bit and found enough pace for our fastest lap time, so this was a positive way to bring the race to a conclusion. We will focus on the final Grand Prix of the season in Brazil now, but we have enjoyed the United States Grand Prix experience and the positive steps we have taken here. Well done to the team."
Pedro de la Rosa: "It has been a positive race overall. The car has performed well and the tyres worked better than we expected after the first day of testing. The start was good and I managed to push with the first set of tyres but I may have gone a bit too far and half way through the race I had front graining. But we changed to the hard compound half way through the race and everything worked well again. Five laps to the end, part of the carbon seat broke and I was afraid that I might have to retire but I managed to adapt to the new driving position and we were able to get to the chequered flag, which was not only important for me but for the whole team. Now it is time to look ahead and get ready for Brazil."
Narain Karthikeyan: "The atmosphere here was amazing and it has been a good race after all. Temperatures were our weak point on the first day but yesterday already improved and today we didn't have any problems during the race. The start was clean and our main target was to finish the race. And we have done it without any problems and keeping a good pace on both sets of tyres. We are now looking forward to the race in Brazil where we hope to do a good job and finish the season on a good note."

Lupe Fiasco Thinks We Should Question Americas Authorities
Latest News
Lupe Fiasco Thinks We Should Question Americas AuthoritiesPosted byNovember 21, 2010Filed under:6
Lupe doesnt vote because he understands the truth behind politics and the government in general and how it doesnt mattter who we want in office all that matters is who they want in office. They'll dress up a wolf in sheeps clothing and write him a speech full of lies and words we want to hear inorder to fool us. Everyone needs to wake up to the truth of whats going on with the higher ups.
Lupe is on it. So many A list celebs and musicians have a chance to make a difference because America's youth look up to them yet they pass that opportunity up because it's the easier path. They dont realize how much power they actually have. Props Lupe. There's so much happening in America but most people are blind or refuse to believe things like Lupe is talking about. Our freedoms are slowly being taken but it's cool, Im gonna go watch the super bowl. The government is here to serve us, not the other way around. Give the power back to the people Lupe, keep up the good work, you're the realist hip hop artist out there. P.S. @Lucas Lederer-Plaskett our votes don't really count in the big picture, corporations own the system and right now they have the final say in politics. Good look though, I get what you're saying. "Kings are the servants, not the proprietors, of the people." -Thomas Jefferson
the reason I'm guessing he isn't voting is because in Islam you do not vote, or basically submit yourself for a person unless you agree with not just their policies but their morals. I don't vote either. the president right now allowed 100 civilians to get slaughtered to capture one terrorist. I don't want to be responsible for that blood indirectly being on my hands.
I'm a proud supporter of all musicians and public figures who take a stand and make themselves knowledgeable and aware of their environments and communities. I do think it's important to vote in the sense of (generally) choosing the lesser of two evils, but I can definitely understand not settling for that kind of system at all. Anyhow, I have a lot of respect for those musicians who, regardless of what's going to get them a temporary hit and quick money, persevere and continue to come out with art. Represent the Midwest, Lupe! Let the show go on!
I can't support the not voting, a lot of horrible people get into office through refusing to follow one of our few civic duties.
Awesome, awesome, awesome. Backing Lupe up on everything he's saying in this video. I don't vote either, for the same reasons. Interested in the anarchy symbol on the necklace (and the one stylized in the Lasers logo as well) -- any insights?

Lee Tamahori's Uday Hussein biopic showcases the prodigal son of the world's most evil clan as a sort of oversexed/overdrugged/bi-polar and over-the-top Tony Montana for the post-post war video game age.
Don't be surprised if this portrayal of Uday - a depraved yet restrained and gritty melodrama about the peril of power going unchecked - vaults Dominic Cooper's send up to hip hop's next iconoclastic cinematic hero.
Cooper, who turns in a Parent Trap-type performance as both Uday and thoughtful Iraqi lieutenant who is given a surgical makeover to serve as his official stand-in, lets the blustery tone of the Armani-wearing, golden Glock-wielding, bride-stealing, slash and burning madman torturer and child rapist overtake him.
The caricature of Uday, a blabbing horse-toothed moron whose unchecked insecurity leads only to quick demise for those in his wake, could have been considered parody - we're it not true. Any other reason the audience clapped when word of Uday's 2003 death popped up post go-dark?
