ZF-4434: Unnecessary stylesheet dojo.css in $dojo->registerDojoStylesheet()
The registerDojoStylesheet() method in Zend_Dojo_View_Helper_Dojo_Container, used only by Zend_Dojo_View_Helper_Editor, is unwanted by default and can adversely affect css styled pages.
The dojo.css stylesheet is not required for themeing. It acts more like YUI's reset.css, providing boilerplate styles. It can be safely omitted without affecting Zend_Dojo_View_Helper_Editor rendering (or any other dijit).
Workaround: Add the following to your view script AFTER creating the Zend_Dojo_View_Helper_Editor to disable importing dojo.css:
<?php $this->dojo()->registerDojoStylesheet(false); ?>
I should mention that this was found in trunk rev 11557.
Resolved in trunk.
Updating these issues to mark them resolved for 1.7.1.
I just installed Zend Framework 1.10.5 with the default dojo files and it imported dojo.css by default. What is considered "resolved"?

By DAVE GILES
(and proud new dad)
THIS is to mums everywhere. It's to all the mums I saw at Southend Hospital over the weekend. It's to my mum, who was too good for this world. And it's to Vicky, my wife – mum to Henry Dylan Giles, who arrived on Saturday night at an eye-watering 9lb 6oz.
He is, as you can see, by far the most beautiful child ever to be born. That goes without saying. But in these few hundred words I want to pay tribute to his mum, to my mum and to all mums.
I wasn't prepared for the violent beauty of childbirth. I'll never forget the look in Vicky's eyes as she screamed at a God she doesn't believe in. She screamed for help – and all she had to look at was me.
I was hopeless and useless. The only thing I could do was promise her it was going to get better. The epidural was coming and that would ease the pain. As it turned out, even that was a lie. As staff prepared her for the injection, our midwife told her it was too late.
She was simply going to have to tough it out. And tough it out she did. Over a harrowing five hours, she endured pain I could never imagine. And I have no idea how many babies were born across the world in those five hours, but I bet it was a lot.
So this is to those mums too. Our day began at 8am when we went in for a scheduled induction. We were given our bed and left to wait. Unfortunately, we were placed next to a couple who insisted on stressing Vicky out by watching some terrible rap-based film on their iPad. I tried to get us a private room, but couldn't. We walked outside in the hospital grounds and the rain started falling.
Vicky was close to tears, so bizarrely, we went and sat in my car, just to be somewhere peaceful. Angry as I was at this inconsiderate couple, all is forgiven. This is to that mum too.
The pain took off for Vicky at about 6pm. Short bursts of about 30 seconds, rising and swelling with each breath. We were transferred to a private room at 8pm, where the gas and air stemmed the agony for a while. As it got worse, we asked for the epidural, but it was too late. It got worse and worse. But then amid the deafening roar, the desperation and the chaos there suddenly was a new noise.
I can hear it now as I type. It was the sound of my son. Henry Dylan Giles. 9lb 6oz. No drugs. Just willpower, nature and the worst swearing I've ever heard. What Vicky did was incredible. Something for which I'll spend the rest of my life trying to thank her.
I also know at the same time it wasn't all that incredible. It was something which has been happening since time began, to billions and billions of mums.
This column means nothing to them. But it's a thank-you to every single, last one of you.

PCC in the News
News: Women's Basketball Sends Four Players To University Level
After finishing No. 9 in the final state poll this past season, the Pasadena City College women's basketball team and head coach Joe Peron placed four sophomores at 4-year universities for the 2013-14 season.
Shay Jackson, an All-State Second Team point guard, is headed to Lincoln University of Pennsylvania, a NCAA Division II college. The speedy, 5-foot-4 Jackson, who plans on majoring in kinesiology, will be a late transfer and is expected to join the Lincoln squad in December. Jackson averaged 9.6 points and a South Coast Conference-leading 5.5 assists per game in her only season at PCC. Jackson attended Castlemont High (Oakland) and Wabash Valley Community College (Illinois) before coming to PCC. She was named All-SCC First Team and was a selection on four different all-tournament teams, including MVP of the Pasasdena Rose City Classic.
Marquetta Stokes, an All-State Third Team forward from two seasons ago and twice an All-SCC First Team choice, received a scholarship to attend NAIA Southern University at New Orleans (Louisiana). Stokes, No. 21 on PCC's All-Time Scoring List with 659 points, also raced on the PCC women's track and field team this year. The 5-11 Stokes played her prep ball at Oakland Tech before attending PCC from 2010-13.
"I decided on Southern University because it has a great criminal justice program and a basketball program that I can excel in," Stokes said. "Because I'm a city person, once they offered me a full scholarship, I didn't give it any second thoughts. The things I learned at PCC as a student-athlete will definitely stick with me in making the transfer."
Stella Ghazarian, a two-time, All-SCC shooting guard and the conference leader in 3-point baskets in both of her seasons (2011-12 and 2012-13), moves on to D-2 Texas A&M International University. The 5-6 Ghazarian is right behind Stokes at No. 22 of PCC's leading scorers (650 points). She attended Glendale High before coming to PCC, and said she decided on Texas A&M International because it is "one of the few colleges that have special education as a major for a bachelor's degree." Ghazarian finished with 151 baskets beyond the 3-point line in her two seasons to place her No. 5 at PCC in that category.
Kahlia Theus, a role-playing guard in her two seasons, earned a scholarship to NAIA Texas College. The 5-6 Theus attended Seaside High (Monterey County) prior to her arrival to PCC. Theus was often the first player off the bench to help ignite the Lancers.
"I'm proud of the fact that we are among the state leaders in women's basketball at matriculating student-athletes to universities," Peron said. "We have a winning program and the players learn how to be successful, but most gratifying is seeing them reach their goals to graduate with a college university degree."
Peron's total of players that have earned scholarships has reached 39 in his 17 seasons in charge of the Lancers. It's the fourth time that at least four players have been a part of a single graduating class. Many other Peron alumni have gone on to attend 4-year universities and earn degrees after they chose to stop playing basketball after PCC.

Director James Merendino is in Salt Lake City this weekend to receive the first SLC Nerd Grand Contributor Award during the SLC Nerd 2013 festival. Merendino has directed 13 films ranging from drama to horror throughout his career. The award recognizes someone with SLC roots who found success outside of Utah. Merendino fits the bill with close personal and professional ties to the state's capitol.
Born in New Jersey, Merendino's family moved to SLC and he lived on its east side from age 7 to 18. A knack for creativity separated him from the crowd. "I was definitely an outsider, " he recalls. He became involved in Salt Lake's punk scene more as an observer than an actual participant because he says punk was a rebellion that accepted everyone.
After graduating from Judge Memorial Catholic High School, his creativity could not be contained in Utah's borders. Merendino studied Western philosophy and theology in L.A. before starting his film career.
After several successful years as a director, Merendino returned to his SLC roots in 1998 and made a film called SLC Punk!. The film revisits his own past in Salt Lake City and follows a couple of punk kids who struggle with the norm. He observed that punks were like every other adolescent kids—just trying to find their voice. While the film is fictional, it also became a personal statement about what he and his friends perceived growing up. "I didn't think anyone would see it," he admits, but the film won numerous awards and became recognized as a cult classic.
He's completed several more films since and recently announced his next film would be a sequel to SLC Punk! entitled Punk's Dead: SLC Punk! 2. He says the story follows the same characters who are now adults in their 40s. While not disclosing too much, he did say that the film follows "Generation X having a midlife crisis."
Merendino has made it in Hollywood by remaining an outsider. "If Hollywood were a high school, I would be the kid sitting alone in the cafeteria," he says. This is all right with him. It has helped him navigate what he playfully calls the "daily siege of horror" to get any film made. He says he's had more luck than others, which allows his creativity to become a reality.
Merendino will accept his award April 20, at 5 p.m. in the Grand Room at The Complex during the SLC Nerd! 2013 Festival. A Q&A session with the director will follow.

Rated 3.8 out of 5 by 4 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Budleigh Great little mat This kitchen mat is very attractive and comfortable as well. June 10, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by jojototo Nice Mat The quality of this mat has been great thus far with a little over a month's use. My only two cents is that the rug is definitely brown, not a reddish shade of terra cotta in person. It matches my other brown mat from Frontgate perfectly. August 16, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Gabe3 French Scroll Comfort Mat I am very disappointed with the colors on this mat. On-line the colors look like rich maroon with french yellow background. The real mat is a dull maroon with a very drab grey background. Very unappealing. Need to figure out how to return, but I do not want to pay the shipping cost as the quality / colors are not what was advertised December 15, 2014

Answer:The main difference between the wellness and comfort mats is style. Both are made from polyurethane with tapered edges and a 7 year warranty. They also both feature antimicrobal properties and are designed to withstant daily wear and tear. There is a slight height difference, with the wellness mats being .75" high and the comfort mats being .63".

One of the great classics of world literature and the inspiration for the most beloved stage musical of all time, Les Misérables is legendary author Victor Hugo's masterpiece. This extraordinary English version by renowned translator Julie Rose captures all the majesty and brilliance of Hugo's work. Here is the timeless story of the quintessential hunted man—Jean Valjean—and the injustices, violence, and social inequalities that torment him.
©2008 Random House (P)2011 Recorded Books, LLC
"Rich and gorgeous. This is the [translation] to read." (Times (London))
But I write for myself, for my own pleasure. And I want to be left alone to do it. - J.D. Salinger ^(;,;)^
Les Misérables is one of those defining social/protest novels that deserves to be read (and listened to) in its entirety. It is easily on par with the great social novels of the 19th century: Brothers Karamazov, Anna Karenina, Uncle Tom's Cabin and Hard Times.
I remember the first time I read the unabridged version in high school, I was stunned that Hugo could engage me with such force. I practically read it straight through. Listening to Rose's relatively new translation and Guidall's audio version, I was transported back to the emotions and engagement I felt 20 years ago. All those memories and I was again anchored to my pro-unabridged novel bias. If you are going to attempt this work, please go the unabridged route, you will NOT regret it. There are few books I've read twice, but Les Misérables defintely makes the cut.
When you begin this novel it DOES looks like a beast (1376 pgs or 60.5 hours), but when you finish it you realize you have sat down to a feast with a master novelist and social gospel writer. Dollar per page or dollar per minute, you can't get much better for its price, unless you steal it.
"Minor note on slang"
Nothing to add to the glowing recommendations from so many other readers. Brilliant story, excellent narration. George Guidall is a master at this kind of epic storytelling. I would only note that there are a few passages in the book (and the audiobook) that discuss the patois of the French criminal class. These passages are probably untranslatable, and I found listening to them baffling and frustrating. (Reading them in the print edition, with notes, is less baffling but equally frustrating.) My advice is to close your ears and ride these passages out, or speed up to 3x in the Audible app till you get past them. You won't miss anything important to the story.
Note that this is NOT a suggestion to skip past the histories of convents, Waterloo, and the Paris sewer system. Those you SHOULD listen to, at least once, even if you skip over them for the rest of your life.
"Transported in space and time..."
It's one of the best. The narration touched my soul.
I fell in love with Jean Valjean and rooted for him and Cosette.
Too long for that!
"It is the best of books, it is the worst of books"
Les Miserables is more of a quest than a book. It is a huge book that meanders along taking many long detours but eventually arriving at its destination. You must be prepared for a long journey, don't be the child who continually asks "are we there yet?"
The narrative of this journey follows Jean Valjean an ex-convict who finds redemption, love, and seeks to do good. Along the way we get long discourses on slang, politics, the street urchins of Paris, the sewers of Paris, and the Battle of Waterloo to name a few (there are many long detours). There are also many subplots and stories, such as the Bishop of Digne which opens the book. There are many long detours, many.
Is the book worth the time? I think it is, it is a wonderful story and the long detours add much to the experience. It is named Les Miserables for the portrait of the poor that it gives, but it does not idolize them, it shows the good and the bad, the weak and the strong. It should encourage you do go out and help some one.
This particular translation is advertised as being more earthy and closer to the French of Hugo than the more staid traditional translations. It is more earthy, more sprightly and not academic, but not knowing French I can't say if it is actually closer to Hugo or not. Some translation choices seem odd to me (clink for jail) but once you get into the flow of the story it works.
The narrator is one of the best in the business and he does a commendable job here.
So, should you read this book? I think so, I highly recommend it.
Would I read it again? Yes I will, in a while, when I'm ready for a long, long journey.
"This book is an amazing experience! WoW!"
At first I was not familiar with Victor Hugo's style of writing. It would start to get very interesting and then all of a sudden he was off on another topic. That knocked me for a loop, until I got into the swing of things, and treated each new topic as a new book. In the end it all came together and was an amazing experience.
Out of both unabridged versions of this book on audible, I found George Guidall to be the better narrator. I had the opportunity to listen to the first few hours of the other version, and could not understand the narrator very well. I was very happy to get this one where I had no problem understanding the English. Great book.
"The Best Book I Have Ever Listened To"
Nothing compares to this book.
Don't miss this one
I have purchased over 180 books thru Audible.
This is by far the best.
The story and the narration are incredible.
"Great Translation for English Speakers"
Yes, I tried to listen to Les Miserables Unabridged Narrated by Frederick Davidson - countless times and due to the translation it was slow going and I could never finish it. This translation by Julie Rose is wonderful and flows as you would expect an native English story to. As anyone with a thesaurus can attest there are countless ways to say the same thing in English. Julie Rose has a knack of choosing the right words!
As mentioned above the other version on audible is not translated into English as fluently.
He's wonderful. He has a wonderful aged voice - he's a master story teller!
Fantine's death and plea for the care of her daughter Cosette - always a tear jerker!
"The best book I have ever read!"
I doubt it, but it was amazing.
Difficult to chose - perhaps Gavroche.
In the apartment when Jean was about to be killed & Javert almost caught him - suspense at its very best!
It haunts me. I never knew there was so much left out in the musical, as it would've been impossible to cover it all. Victor Hugo was truly gifted. I would, however, recommend listening to another great read, "The Greater Journey" by David McCullough, before reading Les Mis - it includes a terrific history of Paris, including Victor Hugo's humanitarian activities. I can't wait to see the movie premiering this Christmas!
Highly recommend - don't be intimidated by its length - take your time and savor it!
"Beautiful Novel"
I love the opera version of Les Mis. I was hesitant to read the book because I did not think it would be as entertaining. Wrong! If anything, Victor Hugo paints the characters and the scenes so vividly, I can't stop listening! This is easily becoming my favorite book.
"great in parts, tedious in parts"
The good:
Hugo's sympathy with the oppressed; the grand scope of the novel; Hugo's gift for fine metaphors and aphorisms; some of the dramatic scenes; the sensitive narration.
The bad:
Absurdly long, detailed tedious digressive essays on things like the battle of Waterloo, the history of convents, the history and geography of the Parisian sewers; hard-to-believe characters who act in unbelievable ways; corny melodrama and sentimentality; excessively long and repetitious accounts of almost everything due, it seems, to Hugo's sheer delight in showing off his poetic inventiveness.
I have great tolerance for long 19th century novels. But so often I found myself thinking: come on Victor, you've said everything you've got to say abou this event, character, situation, action, motivation, relationship, dilemma. All you're doing now is just repeating yourself using alternative metaphors. Let's get moving! I also found the plot pretty silly in places; a lot depends on coincidence and people acting in unbelievable ways.
Hugo's philosophical reflections, which abound throughout, are sometimes interesting; but he's too much in love with paradox and coupling unexpected antitheses--a tendency which has bedeviled French writing ever since.
The narration is good. I liked the translation: it employs up-to-date language which makes the novel less stodgy than it might otherwsie be.

Thomas A. Kleinhanzl President and CEO
At the turn of the century there were fewer than 80 million people living in the United States. Eight thousand cars traveled less than 10 miles of paved roads, and first-class stamps cost a penny apiece. The average worker earned $12.98 per week, and could expect to live less than 47 years; and Mrs. Emma Smith decided that Frederick City needed a hospital. A determined civic leader, Mrs. Smith was able to rally the community to the cause, and in July of 1901 the corner stone for Frederick City Hospital was laid. Just 10 months later, on May 1, 1902, the hospital opened its doors. They have remained open every moment of every day since.
What began as a 2-ward hospital with an "accident room" for emergencies has grown into a state-of-the-art healthcare facility with one of the busiest Emergency Departments in the state of Maryland. Frederick County is the second fastest growing county in Maryland with an estimated population of more than 233,000.
Frederick Memorial Hospital is keeping pace with the the rapid growth by expanding existing services, adding new capabilities and technologies, and launching new service lines such as:
FMH Cardiology Services Interventional Cardiology Diagnostic catheterization Balloon angioplasty Angioplasty with stent insertion Electrophysiology Pacemaker & Defibrilator Insertion Heart Failure Device Implantation Ablation procedures
In addition to the advanced surgical services mentioned above, FMH offers state-of-the-art care in a variety of disciplines that are new to the Frederick Community, including:
CyberKnife RadiosurgeryStroke Center of ExcellenceNeonatal Intensive Care UnitCenter for Wound Care & Hyperbaric MedicineCenter for Advanced Sleep Studies & EEG
FMH continues to expand its reach beyond the walls of the Hospital's main campus. Comprehensive outpatient care and Immediate Care for non-lifethreatening illness and injuries are provided in convenient locations throughout the Frederick Community:
As we continue to grow into the 21st century, adopt new technologies, launch new capabilities and dedicate new outpatient services and facilities, FMH will never lose sight of its purpose so eloquently expressed by the hospital's founder Emma Smith in 1898: to provide " . . .a place to care for the sick, comfort the injured, and provide peace of mind for the citizens we serve."

It was exactly as described, and fit well, we had them painted by our Costume Designer and used them on Aerial Trapeze with Nude tights. Economical choice for costuming an act and comfortable. I am small so I could wear without a bra, my partner need to wear a comfortable bra instead of a sports bra and we used fashion tape to tuck the straps for extra measure, but they seemed to workout fine without tape in rehearsals.

|If I were a dancer, I'd give this 5 stars. But I wanted a leotard for aerial silks and this one is a bit precarious on the shoulders for that kind of activity. Even if it stayed on my shoulders, I'd be tucking in straps every time I turned around.

The UK's Independent has just released a fantastic interview with Max Keiser in which Robert Chalmers describes him as ""the most widely watched news commentator on the planet." Max and Stacy have been supportive of my writing and voice from day one, and this presents a perfect opportunity to thank them for all they have done in helping me have a voice in a world of corporate controlled media and rampant government propaganda. I also want to thank them for their tireless pursuit of truth and justice in the crony-capitalist, Central Banker driven neo-feudalism we suffer from today on a global level. So without further ado, here are some of my favorite passages from the article:
What has fascinated me, I tell him, when we meet in his London television studio, is that in Britain, in recent months, I've begun to hear his mischievously seditious RT show mentioned, with admiration, by taxi drivers, patrons in the Haringey Arms, and my window cleaner. This may not, I admit, constitute a statistically significant sample, but Keiser is clearly attracting people you wouldn't necessarily expect to view a rolling news channel on a foreign network.
"No. I am pro-capitalism and I am pro-free market. But what you have now is not capitalism. It is a state- controlled, command and control, centralized politburo. Both in Britain and the United States. The States is run by the Federal Reserve, an institution that answers only to itself and to a few large banks. It's modeled on the Bank of England. Ben Franklin said that one of the main reasons America revolted was to get away from the Bank of England, the mother of all central banks; the most pernicious and insidious of all."
I can imagine some of his compatriots regarding such talk, especially his accusations of endemic insider trading in Congress, as treasonable. "Treason is a strong word. My family arrived in America in the 1700s and was active in the constitutional process that led to the Declaration of Independence. I would answer that charge by saying, as they do down south, 'That dog don't hunt.'
"Nobody has a greater affinity for the founding principles of America than I do. But what the people with power are doing now is not remotely connected to the ideals of the founding fathers."
Any talk about treason, Keiser argues, would be more suitably aimed in the direction of men such as his principal bête noir, Hank Paulson, a former CEO of Goldman Sachs who served as the US Treasury Secretary from 2006 to 2009. "There is a revolving door for Goldman Sachs guys into and out of US government. And they are working against the sovereign interest of the United States. What's happening is that all these bankers in Europe are consolidating into one major bank that's going to be running Europe, from Brussels. All of that debt will be re-priced in some new European-wide currency. And that bad debt will be joined with all the American bad debt, in some new global reserve bank. And every single step of the way guys like Hank Paulson – who really is a traitor – will put a gun to the head of the American people and say, either you accept this new banking deal or we are going to crash this market."
Frenetic and controversial as he may be, Keiser has a decent record on prediction. He was in Reykjavik, issuing bleak warnings, months before Iceland's catastrophic economic collapse. He was talking about Athens years ago, predicting civil unrest and what now appears to be an inevitable Greek default.
"I came to London," he says, "because being here gives you a front-row seat on the imminent collapse of an entire city. I think that the Eurozone is over-rated as a disaster area. They are not yet in as bad shape as Britain. The UK pound," he continues, "is about to collapse. And the collapse of the British economy will be one of the biggest in modern economic history. Of course you will take the American dollar and the euro down with you, for sure. But this place – London – is about to go belly up. It's … how can I put this?" Keiser pauses. "If you see me walking the streets of your town," he adds, "then you're probably fucked."

Sixth-Ranked Cornell Wrestling Opens Ivy Slate With Home Win Over Princeton
The 10-time reigning Ivy League champion Cornell wrestling team opened 2013 Ivy schedule with a 42-0 victory over Princeton Saturday afternoon at the Friedman Wrestling Center.
While the loss sends Princeton to 0-8 overall, 0-1 in the Ivy League, there were a handful of positive experiences that can come from a match like this. The Tigers started five freshmen, including four who went up against Top 10 opponents.
Two went up against reigning national champions, and 184-pounder Scott Gibbons held 2012 NCAA champion Steve Bosak, currently ranked fourth nationally, to a 6-0 decision. Gibbons currently leads Princeton with 17 victories. Another freshman, Judd Ziegler, was not as fortunate. Going against arguably the best wrestler at any weight class, Ziegler was pinned in the first period by three-time NCAA champion Kyle Dake.
Both freshmen Max Rogers (125) and Kevin Moylan (141) also took on Top 10 opponents, and both were defeated.
Princeton did have a pair of close decisions midway through the match. Senior co-captain Zach Bitliff fell 5-3 at 149, while junior Seth Hazleton fell 8-5 at 157.
Princeton is now off for finals, and it will return to the mat Feb. 2 at 2 pm at Franklin & Marshall. Following that match, Princeton will host three duals at home the weekend of Feb. 8-9, including Ivy showdowns against Brown and Harvard.

Reviews for Chocolate Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookies
"Sounds like too much milk in the filling. I would add it slowly and stop when I got the consistency I want."
"I would definitely make these again, but would cut back on the milk for the filling! It was way to soft, so I had to keep adding sugar to thicken it. But they are very good!"
"I want to try this recepie, but would like to know first if it freezes well? Has anyone tried freezing them?"
"I agree with wolfmommy that recipes shouldn't be rated unless actually tried. Good cooks can determine whether they like the ingredients, but an excellent cook would not rate it until he/she tried it to determine the correctness of amounts."
"FILLING: Why not use Chocolate Peanut Butter mixed with whipped cream; add vanilla and if needed, add a little bit of the powdered sugar for taste."

Denver had 2.2% bike commuters in 2010
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
From Denver Urbanism
The American Communities Survey published its commuter mode share estimates for 2010 this morning and the news is great for Denver!
Denver's bicycle commuter mode share increased to 2.2% in 2010, up from 1.8% in 2009. That's a 22% increase in one year and is more than 4 times the national average of 0.5%. Since 2005, the percentage of bicycle commuting in Denver has increased by 57.1%, and since 2000 it has increased by 131.6%. Nationally, Denver compares well with other large cities. As shown in the graph below, Denver ranks 6th among the 43 cities with populations over 400,000. Thanks to Andy Duvall, Vice Chair of the Mayor's Bicycle Advisory Committee, for putting this graph together (click to enlarge).

In Denver's defense, we have a pretty cold winter. The city is also spread out. Eh, there's a lot of factors that weigh on this. It would be great to see higher numbers but i think 2.2% is pretty great. I don't think Denver is doing anything to prevent commuting, in fact we have great routes and trails. You can live in the burbs and still get into down town safely by bike.
How did they get these numbers? Just man on the street counting?
The data comes from the
Submitted by ToddHock (not verified) on
The data comes from the American Community Survey 2010 (Census) and the question asked about "primary mode of transportation" to work. The results are actually an under-count because most people that bike once or twice a week, such as myself, would still answer with car as the primary mode of transport.
I've been very impressed with Denver's bike paths since moving here from Portland. My commute is LoHi>DTC via Cherry Creek bike path and it's remarkably easy to navigate and very safe.

How can it be that Minneapolis didn't make the results of this survey? Doesn't make ANY sense. Even with our bad winters, Minneapolis respectively holds a 3.5% commuter share http://www.mndaily.com/2011/09/29/minneapolis-falls-bike-rankings-reside... In 2010, Minneapolis was surveyed to have a 4.3% commuter share. There is a lot of criteria that can affect the results for any community, but I think Minneapolis is due its place in these results.
Could it be a technicality?

Could they be going purely off of city boundaries and NOT including all of the various suburbs that make up that city? Agree, it is strange because I have heard amazing things about bike commuters from up north.

Population and political boundaries
Submitted by ToddHock (not verified) on
The list only includes ACS 'major cities' and since Minneapolis alone has less than 400,000 it's not part of this list. If the entire metro area were included i.e. St Paul, suburbs, etc (3+ million) then Minn would be right near the top.

Why is Rose Byrne desirable?
Our only complaint about Rose Byrne is that we don't see enough of her on-screen. Luckily, that will change this year. The gorgeous Aussie (who is, oddly enough, dating Bobby Cannavale) has a lot on her plate for 2014, most notably Neighbours and This Is Where I Leave You.

Labor and contract disputes must be the new thing for 2010. According to Sports Business Journal, DirecTV could drop the Golf Channel by Dec. 31, which would result in the loss of possibly 15 million viewers.
But that wasn't even the most interesting aspect of this article.
"But Golf Channel's viewership, particularly out of season, has been low. In November, the channel ranked 78th of 90 cable networks in total-day viewership, averaging 55,000 viewers on a 24-hour basis. Of sports channels, only Fox Soccer, MLB Network and NBA TV ranked lower.
Golf Channel ranked 80th out of 88 prime-time networks in November, averaging 83,000 viewers in prime time, ahead of Fox Soccer and MLB Network."
The Golf Channel, based in Orlando, had higher viewership than MLB Network and NBA TV? Wow, now that is impressive.
Obviously, golf hasn't lapped basketball and baseball in terms of sports fan popularity. But these numbers mean either one of two things; 1. Baseball and basketball coverage is so saturated on larger networks like ESPN and TNT or…2. The Golf Channel is doing a better job connecting with its audience than MLB Network and NBA TV.
I'll admit that I'm not the biggest fan of golf. But I occasionally watch some programming on the Golf Channel and have to say the quality of content has been pretty diverse, entertaining and informative with shows like "The Haney Project" and in-depth profile stories like the one about Donald Trump's pursuit to build a world-class golf course in Scotland.
On another note, things must be going well for sports broadcaster Erik Kuselias to leave a cushy position at ESPN to join the Golf Channel.
So are you surprised by how the Golf Channel has performed against the MLB Network and NBA TV?

It says in SA EH Siman 62 Sif 8 that there are those who say that you don't need Panim Chadashos (new people) at a Sheva Brachos on Shabbos or Yom Tov (Rishon V'Sheini), since the day itself (in both cases) are like the "Panim Chadashos". This is only, according to the Machaber, at the night seudah and day seudah, but not at Shalosh Seudas. The Rema adds that the custom is to be lenient at Shalosh Seudas and make Sheva Brachos without new people, either because it's usual that Panim Chadashos do in fact come or because some sort of Drush or Divrei Torah are said and that's like Panim Chadashos.
Although it says in Shulchan Aruch Shabbos and Yom Tov Rishon V'Sheini, I want to ask whether there is a reason you wouldn't need Panim Chadashos at a Sheva Brachos on Chol HaMoed in order to say the Sheva Brachos. Or whether there is anyone that speaks about this point.

Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights: Universal Agenda for Poverty Reduction and Sustainable Development
"It is time for the international community to reaffirm its commitment to sexual and reproductive health and rights." These words opened the public outreach event organized in Brussels today on sexual and reproductive health and rights.
The event, organized on the occasion of the bi-annual strategic consultations between the Belgian government and the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), addressed the future agenda of sexual and reproductive health and rights and their role for poverty reduction and sustainable development. The discussion focused on the importance of women's empowerment as well as the need to focus on adolescents.
While the world is on track to achieve a reduction in extreme poverty by 2015, MDG 5 (improving maternal health and achieving universal access to reproductive health and family planning) remains the most off track of all the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). In the developing world, 222 million women who want to delay or avoid a pregnancy are not using an effective method of family planning. In 2012 there were 80 million unintended pregnancies and an estimated 21.6 million of these, most in developing countries, end in unsafe abortion causing the deaths of 47,000 women and adolescent girls – 13% of all maternal mortality. Adolescent girls are particularly at risk. They are less likely to be able to choose whether and when to have a child than older women and have a much higher unmet need for family planning. Globally, there are 6.1 million unintended pregnancies each year among 15-19 year olds and in Africa, leading ot an estimated 1.400.000 unsafe abortions in Africa. Half of all maternal deaths from unsafe abortion are in women under the age of 25.
The Belgian government is a major partner of UNFPA in support of its mandate to deliver a world where every pregnancy is wanted, every birth is safe and every young person's potential is fulfilled. With Belgian support, UNFPA aims to achieve universal access to sexual and reproductive health (including family planning), promote reproductive rights, reduce maternal mortality and accelerate progress on the MDGs. UNFPA also focuses on improving the lives of youths and women by advocating for human rights and gender equality and by promoting the understanding of population dynamics.
As part of its multilateral aid, Belgium contributed over 6,000,000 EUR annually in 2012 and 2013 to UNFPA, mainly to its core functioning. This policy of core financing for multilateral development agencies increases predictability and stability of funding and therefore enhances aid effectiveness. The fact that Belgium is the 14th largest contributor clearly demonstrates the importance the Belgian government attaches to UNFPA's agenda of sexual and reproductive health and rights.
In addition to this core contribution, Belgium also financed UNFPA to combat fistula and promote maternal health in Burundi for almost 400.000 EUR annually over three years. And in 2013, Belgium supported UNFPA in strengthening the provision of sexual and reproductive health care in humanitarian action to the tally of over 500.000 EUR.
Earlier today, a high level delegation of UNFPA visited Brussels to discuss how to deepen and enhance the strategic relationship between Belgium and UNFPA. Such strategic consultations take place every 2 years.
"Belgium and UNFPA will continue pushing for an ambitious and progressive global agenda on sexual and reproductive health and rights. It is time to demonstrate leadership" were the concluding remarks of the Belgian cooperation.

More: You are on NCIS: Los Angeles, one of the highest-rated shows on CBS.
COD: It is pretty great. We have been fortunate enough to follow in the footsteps of NCIS, a show that has many passionate fans. That gave us a huge opportunity to have a built-in audience. But as you know, nothing is guaranteed, and it is one of those things where you honestly can't predict what will happen. The producers put LL Cool J and myself on the show, and the fans, more than 17 million of them, have responded every week, which for us is terrific.
More: Is there a lot of pressure, keeping a series like yours at the top of the ratings?
COD: There is always pressure, which is why we go to work every day and make the program as good as we can. At a certain point, though, it is out of our hands because there is marketing involved and fans need to tune in. I can tell you I go in with the best attitude, work hard, and, as the saying goes, "Teamwork makes the dream work." We recently had our first episode of the new season and that was a nerve-racking night because you are wondering to yourself, Are the fans going to tune in again and watch? Luckily for us, they did.
More: Tell me a secret about your costar, LL Cool J.
COD: LL is such an intelligent guy. He might be a big muscular rapper, but he is also a really sharp guy. I mean, he is book smart, philosophical and really gets it. The guy could have a conversation with anyone on the planet about anything and really connect with them. Although we had different backgrounds growing up, he and I have a real connection and a real bond.
More: How do you juggle a red-hot Hollywood career and five kids and still manage to find time for date night with the missus?
COD: We don't get out as much as we would like, but fortunately the kids go to bed at a good hour so we always carve out time at night to sit, have a glass of wine and just be together.
More: Sounds romantic.
COD: It is not like we are running off on romantic getaways on the spur of the moment. Planning something like that involves a lot of logistics. But yes, we do steal time for each other, and we will leave the kids behind to celebrate my wife's 40th birthday, which is coming up.
More: I like how after 10-plus years of marriage you still love finding time for each other.
COD: Even just planning something like dinner for the two of us is hard because there is always a dinner invitation or a school event to go to. But if we get a random Friday night where it is just the two of us, we love going out for sushi or to this cute little Italian place. I am a creature of habit. I like to go to the same place and order the same things.
More: What's the rule when it comes to kissing female costars?
COD: It is work. My wife is fine with it because she is not the jealous type. I, on the other hand, am the complete opposite. If that were my wife kissing a guy, I can tell you this would not work for me at all! That is probably why I didn't marry an actress.
More: Sounds like a fairy tale.
COD: It is work, just like for everyone else. Nothing is perfect, and we are not living a fairy tale life. But my commitment to marriage is extremely important to me. I will also say that we are blessed to have beautiful children and that I am working steady in a crazy business. There is not a lot of stability in this business, and to be working on a show that is now in its fourth season is a pretty nice gift to have. I have been in this industry for 25 years, and for once it is nice to have some consistency, especially when my children are so young. It is important for me to be in one place, and this opportunity could not have come at a better time.
More: Tell me about fatherhood.
COD: It is great. It is something I always wanted and something that was always important to me. My parents were very family oriented and always made it about the family. They were the type of parents who stayed home with the kids, had fun and kept track of where we all were. I love being a dad because it tests your endurance and strength every day. I spend my days juggling work, my children, keeping a career and my marriage in a good place. There is a lot going on, but I am working hard at it all.
More: Have the children ever done anything that made you blow your top?
COD: Sure. There are varying degrees of that. I can tell their moods just by the type of cry they are giving off and they can tell when I am not screwing around by the way I reprimand them. There are certain things kids will do at different stages, and they get your point just by your tone. As my kids get older, they all do different things.
More: Such as?
COD: Right after we moved into our new house a year ago, our six-year-old disappeared at night and was gone for, like, four hours. We had the cops here, neighbors looking for him, the whole thing. Turned out he climbed into a cabinet at the house next door. At one point he thought it was funny. When he realized the police were looking for him, he got scared and hid because he was frightened. Look, he was six, and I am not sure he understood at first he was doing anything wrong, but it was a very serious thing.
More: What did you do?
COD: You don't know what to do. You are scared, yet you also need to parent. The worst part was, when you look around you learn there is no parent manual to walk you through a situation like this. I will say this: my wife, Caroline, is much more level headed when it comes to this stuff than I am. I tend to freak out a bit more than she does. That is where the good cop/bad cop comes in. We really pull together as a team.
More: If my child was missing, I would go into cardiac arrest.
COD: It was pretty scary, and I have never seen my wife get the way she did. She really thought someone took our child. Here we were in a new neighborhood, it was dark, and our child was just gone. I mean, we scoured every inch of the neighborhood looking for him—so, yes, it was scary.
More: Will you follow in your parents' footsteps and have two more?
COD: No. We closed up shop around here. We are good right where we are.
More: Another admirable quality of yours—you are putting your celebrity to good use by trying to keep people healthy. Tell me why you chose to get involved.
COD: Yes, I am really passionate about this. The Fluzone Intradermal (fluzone.com) is an alternative to the flu vaccine adults have been getting for years. Doctors are now using a much smaller needle, 90 percent smaller to be exact, so all you feel is a tiny prick for a second. As a father of five, I am very concerned about getting my flu shot because I don't know what the kids are dragging in the door.
More: You play a real tough guy on TV, so getting a needle once a year must be a piece of cake.
COD: I hate getting shots and am always the last to get one. However, when my doctor showed me the size of this needle and why this would be painless, I decided to partner up with Sanofi Pasteur to help raise awareness about the importance of staying healthy. Two thirds of the population between the ages of 18 and 64 don't get the flu shot, and I am hoping that people will change their minds and take the time to get vaccinated, because the flu can be especially harmful to infants and the elderly.

In 1999, Seattle Public Utilities went on the offensive with its natural drainage systems program, launching innovative streetscape designs that boosted the beauty of the neighborhoods while reducing the negative impact of stormwater runoff on creeks, lakes, and bays.
Since then, five projects—including complete redevelopment of a 129-acre residential area—have been put into action. Here, Seattle's low-impact development (LID) program manager Tracy Tackett lays out the path to the city's success.
Traditional stormwater management practices aren't protecting our water resources to the extent we need. Traditional methods are space-intensive; as we get more developed, space is at an increasing premium. LID also is much more cost-effective. Taking a LID approach allows you to take advantage of multiple environmental benefits. You end up with additional green space to create habitats, green roofs to provide insulation, cisterns to provide another water source, and anything that involves infiltration to help recharge groundwater. In time, all of this will become more important as drinking water resources become more scarce.
We have a lot of unimproved areas in Seattle. These areas don't have curbs, gutters, or sidewalks; we wanted to improve these areas, but in a creek-friendly manner. The merging of those two goals is what led to our first big project, "SEA Streets," or Street Edge Alternatives. We conducted a stormwater retrofit of a residential block, a site we picked because of flooding problems and to protect a salmon habitat in the watershed. We reduced impervious surfaces to 11% less than a traditional street, provided surface detention in swales, and added more than 100 evergreen trees and 1100 shrubs. Runoff from this block has been reduced by 98%. People really took well to it, and our LID program has been growing ever since then.
Here in the Northwest, the word about LID has spread rapidly, and people are really interested in it. Our efforts are more about making it clear that the facilities being placed aren't just aesthetic features, but that they do important work. A lot of people get it and they know it's the right thing to do but need the nitty gritty—what exactly needs to be done from a regulatory standpoint—to make the permitting process easier. Leaders can help by simply providing clear guidance and direction to folks.
Make your stormwater guidelines clear: These are the practices, this is how we want them to be implemented, here are the variations. Be very clear with permitting agencies. This all needs to originate internally from the city, especially when it comes to rights of way—there are so many details to work out with all the players. It's hard for developers to come up with all of that on their own. You need a champion within the city government to get that going.

According to the latest study, men are more romantic, sensitive and willing to commit than the collective American public gives them credit for. So, its time for straight women (and gay men) to get with the program and stop making assumptions, because this new data makes a strong case in defense of the oft-maligned American male and his dating behaviors. Women should be very reassured by this, says Dr. Fisher. Even though I get a lot of responses along the lines of that cant be true it is true.
Open your eyes and let your assumptions go, says Dr. Fisher. You might miss out on the richness of the male personality.
So much for the myth that most men are players! Only 3% of men responded affirmatively to the query, Id like to date a lot of people. 97% are looking for a genuine relationship, explains Dr. Fisher. In fact, men are more likely to believe in love at first sight, are equally likely to fall in love, believe its possible to stay in love forever, and become stressed from loneliness due to lack of a romantic partner.
Men are also more willing to commit to a relationship thats without romantic love or sexual satisfaction. Women are going to swallow their forks when they hear that, says Dr. Fisher. They have a concept about what men are that doesnt fit reality. And what is even more surprising is that the majority of these responses are from young men.

In a way I'm surprised by that data; on the other hand, I've known men who went through breakups and were devastated, while the women moved on. One guy was unmarried and in his late 30s and the others were married and in their 40s and 60s. None seemed to be able to move forward and accept it. They were very invested in those relationships and didn't see it coming.
Quite a while ago, I read that men may be so surprised with these kinds of things because the woman has been thinking and maybe even planning a breakup for some time before she announces it. Usually, it's not a spur-of-the-moment reaction with her. The man is clueless and assumes all is good and is blindsided. When men are the initiators of a breakup, they may be a bit more spontaneous, not needing to mull it over quite as much before saying something.
Hearing these men talk and carry on, they appeared no different from women I know who were surprised by a divorce action or breakup. In fact, I think logic finally overtakes a woman's senses and she steps forward. I'm not sure when logic will hit these men, but it hasn't yet. Even when their ex is involved with another person.

Why would gay men as opposed to straight men have to stop making assumptions on how men feel? They're men, they'd know how they feel. And of course not all men feel the same - as all women don't. And not all polls are valid nor do they ask all the questions that should be asked.

I'm always leery about studies particularly when I don't know how they were conducted or how the pool of men questioned was chosen. My observations are totally subjective and based on all the men I have known as friends, personally, professionally and relatives, and I find that 3% hard to buy unless it was asked of a specific group, age etc.
If you asked a number of men (or women probably) in their 20's I doubt only 3% would want to date a lot of people. If you were asking a group of say divorced men or women in their 40-50s I would guess that number would be low. There are some men I know who never want to marry and some I know of who have wanted to get married from a young age, but on the whole most men I know have wanted, at least in 20s into 30's to date around.
Maybe it's just the people I have known but overwhelmingly from 20's on the women I have known have skewed far more into wanting committed relationships and marriage than the men. I can't say I've heard of many stories of men hinting for rings and hoping their partner will want to commit. I'm not saying I've never heard of it, I can think of a couple examples but overwhelmingly it's been the women looking for the commitment and men eventually acquiescing.

I'm also skeptical about studies, but certainly the men I know have very little in common with the usual stereotypes about men. Of course, the women they're with aren't much like the usual stereotypes about women either, which might explain it.

Damn! An explanation: I nearly always maintain--on these boards--that males are as romantic or more romantic than women. I intended this, taken along with the subject lline, as a joke; I didn't intend that the results of the survey be taken very seriously. I, too, tend to distrust such surveys.
But, for those who wish to read it, the article can be found here (I hope):

Here's another article to add to your collection on this subject, dick. Kind of along the same lines--don't underestimate (some?) men. Relationships matter more to them than we may think.

Thank you,
. That's an interesting site in addition to an interesting article. And another bit of evidence for "didn't I tell ya'."

Love surveys that tell you what you've always thought! My own experience is definitely that guys are much more romantic and willing to commit than women. However it's one of those things that's impossible to generalise as we all have different experiences.
This is fun article - so true except for the fact that you could replace the word "men" with "people"...

: An amusing article, if a bit too emphatic at times. A lot of the reasons suggested selfishness more than anything else.
