The members of Idaho's Student-Athlete Advisory Committee collected $700 to purchase Christmas gifts for a local family it adopted for the holiday season. Because of the success of their fund raising, the student-athletes were able to fulfill every wish on the children's list, which included Razor scooters, an mp3 player and remote control cars. Additionally, they were able to buy presents for four children on the Christmas For Kids Giving Tree.

Alright so I know that you need a pokemon from a foreign game to get shiny pokemon via breeding.
This may be a stupid question but, besides Japanese, Chinese, and Korean pokemon, what other places can be considered foreign. The reason I'm asking is because I've got a French, European ditto in the daycare that I'm breeding to try and get shinys, and was just curious.

Reviews for Wonderful Carrot Cake
"I too thought this was dry (but it could be that I baked it too long). Does have a great flavor and is easy to make. May try again and only bake for 40 min instead of 45."
"sorry, i forgot to said, I only use half of sugar... :)"
"this is the MOST DELICIOUS AND SUPER LIGHT CARROT CAKEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!Very moist, and tender and delicious..I made it many, many, many times... it's my super favorite and the number 1 in my list of carrot cake... Really, you must do it.. :)"
"I took this cake to a church picnic yesterday and everyone really liked it. It was very moist and light. I will definitely make this again."
"I thought it was a very good carrot cake...I left out the nuts because my son doesn't like them. I thought the frosting was excellent. I frosted about 2/3 of the cake with this recipe and made 1/3 of the frosting recipe using soy cream cheese and milk and it turned out well, too. I never would have guessed it was a "healthy" cake!"

Survey could lead to changes in projects for graduation
Published: Friday, January 11, 2013 at 12:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, January 10, 2013 at 3:54 p.m.
No two words provoke a stronger reaction from high school seniors in Davidson County Schools than graduation project. College application might come close, but the graduation project affects every student in the senior class. They must complete the project in order to graduate.
Davidson County implemented the projects in 2007, anticipating statewide adoption of the mandate. However, the state backed off requiring seniors to complete a project. Lexington City Schools, for example, never added them to its graduation requirements. But Davidson County has continued to require seniors to complete the projects, with several modifications over the years.
One of the primary changes involved the length of the project. From 2009-11, one component of the project took place each grade, spreading it over four years. For the last two years, the project has taken place during the senior year as part of the senior English project.
Although seniors don't want to hear it, there are some benefits to the project. Students can explore areas of interest, sometimes finding out a potential career isn't such a good fit after all. They learn time-management skills and the importance of not procrastinating. They also gain new skills, such as public speaking before the community judges, who almost always are sympathetic and look for ways to encourage the students.
But the projects also pose some challenges. Most students today are extremely busy with schoolwork, extracurricular activities, college applications, work, and family and church commitments. Adding the graduation project can cause more stress in their lives; the student must spend 15 hours with a mentor, which requires juggling two schedules, plus create a portfolio of work and make the presentation. It also adversely affects what can be taught in senior English, since so much of the focus must be on the project.
Davidson County Schools is seeking feedback from students, parents and teachers about the graduation project. This provides an opportunity for each group to voice the positives and negatives about the project. Sometimes surveys end up in the trash can, but this one deserves completion by those who receive it. It will help give the board a broad sample of responses to gauge the feelings about the project.
Just because many seniors don't like the graduation projects doesn't necessarily mean they should disappear, but if legitimate concerns surface about their merit, then the board of education should consider changing — or eliminating — them.

Minerals for Soil (page 3 of 4)
by Charlie Nardozzi
Symptoms of potassium deficiency include low yields and mottled, spotted, or curled leaves (they have a scorched look). It is common in the East but less likely in the West. Two important mineral sources provide potassium.
Correct soil potassium deficiency with sulfate of potash magnesia, also known as Sul-Po-Mag or K-mag (0-0-22). Sul-Po-Mag is mined from a crystalline rock material, langbeinite, and contains 22 percent sulfur, 22 percent potassium, and 11 percent magnesium. Unlike most other rock-based fertilizers, the potassium in Sul-Po-Mag is readily available to plants so it should be applied in spring just before planting. It has only a short-term effect. Apply 6 pounds per 1,000 square feet.
For a slow-release form of potassium, greensand is the best choice. Greensand is mined in New Jersey from ancient sea deposits of iron potassium silicate (glauconite). It has 5 percent to 7 percent potassium and 32 trace minerals, and will increase the water-holding capacity of the soil. Greensand is slow to work, so it's best used to build up reserves of potassium when a soil test indicates an average level of potassium and not when levels are low and a quick dose is needed. Apply 17 pounds per 1,000 square feet. One application can last up to five years.
Other Main Nutrients
Plants need smaller quantities of calcium, magnesium, and sulfur than nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Nevertheless, most soil tests will indicate quantities of nutrients. Correcting low pH with limestone also increases calcium, and if you use dolomitic limestone, it will also increase magnesium levels. If the pH is correct, use gypsum to add calcium without altering pH. Mined from calcium sulfate, gypsum contains 23 percent calcium and 18 percent sulfur. It also can improve the structure of alkaline soil by removing excess sodium. Apply 10 pounds per 1,000 square feet. Its effects last for 1 to 2 years.
In soils that need magnesium and sulfur but not calcium, apply Sul-Po-Mag as described for potassium deficiencies, or use epsom salts. Mined from magnesium sulfate, epsom salts contain 10 percent magnesium and 13 percent sulfur. Apply 6 pounds per 1,000 square feet. Beneficial effects last for one to two years after application.
How to Apply Rock Minerals
Remember three rules: When you apply rock mineral fertilizers, 1) Mix them thoroughly into the soil; 2) smaller-sized particle will work quicker; and 3) use them with lots of organic matter.
It's important to work mineral fertilizers into the soil so the nutrients they contain can easily contact roots. Some minerals, such as phosphorous, do not move around well in the soil, while others, such as sulfur, can form a hardpan layer if not thoroughly mixed with the soil.
Smaller-sized mineral particles will be more readily available to plants. This is especially true for rock minerals, such as greensand, that release nutrients very slowly. Rock minerals have been crushed fine enough to pass through a 200-mesh screen (and it should say so on the bag). This rule doesn't apply to pelletized fertilizers, such as pelletized lime. Although these particles are larger than the crushed material, they are held together by a water soluble compound that quickly breaks down in the soil. Pelletized fertilizers are less dusty and easier to use, but more expensive.
If you add rock mineral fertilizers to your soil, it is important to add organic matter as well. Organic matter helps stabilize the soil pH, which, in turn, increases microorganism activity. Microorganisms are key to breaking down the rock mineral fertilizers to usable form for the plant.

- Harry was kicked off the wrestling team for achieving straight D's. He loved me to the exclusion of everyone, including his mother, whom he referred to as "The Witch." Harry gave me a bracelet engraved HOLLAND, for Hope Our Love Lasts And Never Dies. It died.
- Larry the first sang like Frank Sinatra. Warning sign: He forced me to bow out of a clam-eating contest. I would have won, and that embarrassed him. Never love a man who feels embarrassed by you.
- Larry II was a coup de foudre. I'd never seen a more beautiful man in my life. On our second date, we declared our eternal love. I broke up with him, but I still dream about him.
- Arthur looked like Robert Mitchum. Robert Mitchum is the best-looking man who ever lived, except for Larry II. Looking like Robert Mitchum, alas, is hardly enough to sustain a relationship. Eventually, I would outgrow falling in love with beauty. Proof: My first husband had a head like a praying mantis.
- Larry III was sweet. Too sweet. He proposed to me at Pete's Tavern on Irving Place. I was taken aback. He was a between-boyfriends boyfriend. I'm not happy about breaking his heart. Rarely have I been so misunderstood.
- Larry IV and I were engaged for 12 hours. The next morning I opened my eyes, looked at a perfect sky and thought, oh, no! I'm engaged to Larry? He became a salesman, like his father, and never had children. After reading a story I wrote for Playboy, he called me, wickedly sarcastic as ever.
- Jonathan was an editor. I thought I loved him. When I told him I was going to visit my parents in the country, he got red in the face and spat: "Great Neck is not the country. Great Neck is the suburbs." The man was a human minefield.
- Jerry helped me put Con-Tact paper on the slanty walls of my first apartment. He was a lawyer and five-foot-two. Despite our five-inch gap, we were insane about each other. Short men grab your elbow and steer you across the street. He made me feel like Anita Ekberg in La Dolce Vita.
- Sam. Sam, darling. Sam, sweetheart and best friend. Why did you have to be an accountant after hours? Why did you have to ask the waiter, "How many shrimp in the shrimp cocktail?" and "Is the salad extra, or does it come with the meal?" Yet you took me to Florida when I got a cold. Sam, if you're reading this, call me.
- And last of all, Jon. Oh. My. God. Bald, poor, self-victimizing, a drama king, and none of it mattered. Do not trust pure animal lust. Go with it if you must (there's a choice?), feel lucky you've had it — but know it has the shelf life of arugula.

|Dave Lewis, 57, is in his first season as assistant coach for the Carolina Hurricanes. This marks his 20th season as a coach in the National Hockey League, as Lewis has previously worked behind the bench for Detroit, Boston and Los Angeles. He served as the head coach for Detroit (2002-2004) and Boston (2006-07), compiling a career record of 135-83-33 as a head coach (includes five games as co-coach with Detroit in 1998-99).
Lewis began his coaching career immediately after his retirement as a player in November 1987, when he was named as an assistant coach for the Detroit Red Wings. The Kindersley, Sask., native served in that position until being promoted to associate coach prior to the 1995-96 season. As associate coach, he worked under three head coaches over 15 years -- Jacques Demers, Bryan Murray and Scotty Bowman, capturing the Stanley Cup championship three times, in 1997, 1998 and 2002.
Lewis was named the Red Wings' head coach on July 17, 2002, following Bowman's retirement. In two seasons, he led Detroit to a pair of 48-win and 100-point seasons, as well as two Central Division titles. His team won the President's Trophy in 2003-04, finishing with the NHL's top regular-season record at 48-21-11-2 (109 points). Following the NHL's work stoppage in 2004-05, Lewis was replaced as head coach, and he served as a professional scout for the Red Wings during the 2005-06 season.
In June 29, 2006, Lewis became the 27th head coach in the history of the Boston Bruins. He compiled a 35-41-6 record with the Bruins before joining the Los Angeles Kings as an assistant coach in 2007-08.
Lewis played 15 NHL seasons between 1973 and 1988, totaling 36 goals and 187 assists (223 points) in 1,008 games as a defenseman with the New York Islanders, Los Angeles Kings, New Jersey Devils and Detroit Red Wings. He skated in 91 career Stanley Cup playoff games, earning 21 points (1g, 20a) and 143 penalty minutes. Selected 33rd overall by the New York Islanders in the 1973 NHL Amateur Draft, he made the jump directly from junior hockey with Saskatoon to the NHL with the Islanders in his draft year. He spent seven seasons with New York before being acquired by Los Angeles in a trade on March 10, 1980. He played three seasons with the Kings, serving as the team's captain from 1981-83. After three seasons with the Devils, Lewis concluded his playing career in Detroit, where he skated in his 1,000th game on on April 1, 1987.
Lewis and his wife, Brenda, have two children: a son, Ryan, and a daughter, Megan.

"Light sauce which i appreciated, but the chicken needs to be submerged in the sauce while cooking, and its a little plain. Good, but I would rather spend time trying new recipes instead of this one again."

News item from 2012
The Ashmolean displays the first exhibition of the Thames Heritage Tapestry made by schoolchildren from across Oxfordshire
The Ashmolean Museum will host the first exhibition of the Thames Heritage Tapestry from 4 - 11 January, a project run by The Millennium Tapestry Company in partnership with the Thames Heritage Trust.
On display will be a 3 x 14m section of the tapestry made by children from schools across Oxfordshire and elsewhere along the River Thames.
The whole tapestry has been made collaboratively by more than 200 schools along the River, from its source in Gloucestershire to the estuary at Southend-on-Sea. Each school has completed a 1 metre square canvas depicting different aspects of the river in their own area. The end result is a multifaceted portrait of the Thames through the eyes of the children who live along its banks.
The Thames was once described as 'liquid history'. An estimated 50,000 children have brought the Thames history to life by taking part in researching the impact of the river on life, work and the environment as well as creating artwork for the project.
The Thames Heritage Tapestry is supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund, the City Bridge Trust, the Ernest Cook Trust, the Oxfordshire Community Foundation, and many other trusts and organizations. The project has just been awarded the Inspire Mark by the London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Lord Sebastian Coe, Chair of the London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games, said, "The Inspire programme is ensuring the legacy of the 2012 Games starts now as projects like the Thames Heritage Tapestry are enabling children along the Thames to make positive life changes."
Dr Christopher Brown CBE, Director of the Ashmolean Museum, said, "We are delighted to be hosting the first exhibition of the Thames Heritage Tapestry at the Ashmolean. This is an extraordinary collaborative achievement, which has brought together so many ideas and creative talents, bringing to life the history of the Thames."
Lizzie Owen, Chief Executive of The Millennium Tapestry Company, says, "The Thames Heritage Tapestry project is a totally joyful celebration of everything that makes the river so iconic. It is purely educational and wholly inclusive, providing everyone involved with a basis for acquiring new skills that will lead on to a lifelong learning adventure. We can't wait to see the young people's work displayed."
Paul Coleman, Chairman of the Thames Heritage Trust, says, ""We are delighted with the success of this initiative, which is helping young people and their families along the Thames to learn more about the River."
For the Heritage Lottery Fund, Head of HLF South East England, Stuart McLeod, said: "This imaginative project mobilises thousands of children and their families to tell the ever-flowing tale that links thousands of communities both physically and throughout history."
Clare Thomas, Chief Grants Officer of the City Bridge Trust, says, "The Trust is delighted to be supporting the Thames Heritage Tapestry project. We have seen the work produced by young people in previous schemes run by MTC, which are quite inspirational, and fully expect the same this time round. We very much look forward to seeing the finished work, which will offer a unique and engaging view of the Thames from children's perspectives."

The Millennium Tapestry Company runs collaborative arts projects for schools that support and enrich the National Curriculum. The company delivered the UK Millennium Tapestry in 2000 and the Commonwealth-wide Golden Tapestry in 2006.
The Thames Heritage Trust was formed in 1979 and is a registered charity that provides grants for improving leisure, education and cultural facilities to stimulate use and interest in the River Thames
The expression 'liquid history' was coined by trade unionist and politician John Elliot Burns, after whom one of the Woolwich Ferries is named.

Welcome to Buffaloes Summer Break where CUBuffs.com catches up with Colorado student-athletes and coaching staff members throughout the summer "off season."
Today's installment comes from women's basketball center Rachel Hargis. A 6-4 junior from Robinson, Texas, Hargis averaged 3.7 points and 3.2 rebounds off the bench as a sophomore, helping the Buffaloes to their first 20-win season since 2003-04 and a second straight trip to the Postseason WNIT. Hargis has 50 career blocks and ranked 14th in the Pac-12 last season in blocks during conference game with just under one per contest.
What is your favorite summer time activity?
Favorite vacation destination and why?�
The beach, because I love the ocean.
What was your first summer job?�
I've never had one.
What is the most important activity you engage in during the summer months that helps prepare you for the next season?�����
Working on my individual basketball skills.
If they offered a class in __________ at Colorado during the summer I would surely get an A+
What is your favorite moment here at Colorado so far?��
Beating Oklahoma my freshman year.
The thing that surprised you the most about the move from the Big 12 to the Pac-12 Conferences is:
How many more fouls they call in the Pac-12 compared to the Big 12.
Best advice for youth that are beginning to compete in athletics.
If you want to become the best you can be set goals for yourself and work towards them everyday.
If you could play a single game/event for a CU team that is not your sport, which would it be and why?�
I would play football because I've always wanted to know what it is like to get hit by someone and to hit someone else.
If you could bring one famous person to Colorado for a day-long tour who would it be, and what would you do with them?
I would bring (Dallas Mavericks star) Dirk Nowitzki. First I would take him to the Original House of Pancakes for breakfast, then I'd give him a tour of Coors and get some lessons on the fade away from him, then I would take him hiking up the flatirons.

Ah yes, I see the player keeps it's settings with or without the file.
Both sub-menus looked like gibberish so I randomly picked the second one and only saw more gibberish so wrongly assumed going back to the first one wouldn't help. Easy when you know how, thanks. In my defence though I hadn't even browsed the menus in English before trying the region tweak because I knew from reading these forums that I wouldn't have the radio available. Before I posted I'd had the player out of the box for all of two minutes.
Sorry for the double post. Feel free to combine my posts if that keeps things more orderly.
It's OK. Enjoy it now
I take the opportunity to say that the firmware 1.03 download link (for an unknown reason, firmwares for U7 are only availbale on the Samsung Korea website) is still wrong (= firmware 1.01).
I reported it to Samsung but they don't seem to care about it so I guess we'll have to wait for the next firmware to hopefully get a correct download link this time....
I'm French^^ *GenerationMP3 Samsung Moderator*
Thanks for the info. I definitely am enjoying it. After playing with the U7 for a few minutes I feel like I know everything I need to, given how simple it is to operate. It sounds great, the build quality is solid and I've got the ease of drag and drop once again. The Popcons are just the right side of pointlessly wacky.
The only issue I've had so far is that ejecting it within Linux Mint doesn't appear to do anything. The player remains mounted and browsable.
Hello everyone. This is my first post and after following for a long time, finally I decided to register and add some comments. @lebellium thank you for the very detailed information on the device. I've been reading this topic for a week and finally bought my U7!
After finishing writing, I realized that it's been a long comment so I numbered my scattered thougts
Three years ago I also had a U5, it was a really nice slick mp3 player but unfortunately I lost it. When it comes to comparing U7 with U5 (or U6 which I don't own) I think it's really disappointing to see that it still has only 4 GB memory and no SD support. Omiting the recorder is another thing which I don't understand the reasoning behind it. However, as for the price it's definitely cheaper than U6, I bought U7 for €40 and U6 was €60!
However, when I compare it with my lost U5, I didn't like the sound quality. What's your user-defined EQ settings? Can you give a screenshot? About the radio, I hope they'll add the RDS with a firmware update but I'm not expecting it as I think it's not included in the hardware.
Those who haven't updated the firmware can download from Samsung's Korean webpage - second link which says "펌웨어". (I couldn't see the link and maybe it'd be useful for everybody). However, as you said the version is 1.01, not 1.03.
The changelog (Google-translated from Korean-Samsung):
- Ear safety standards applied (changed?)
In the previous version, there was a warning after volume level 28 as regards to listening in high volumes. Now, it's shown in volume level 20 with a different text. I hope there'll be more with the new updates.
I think it's not fun to see those popcons running in the screen. They're eating the space for the song name and it's a pity there's no option to disable. However, you may be able to remove them from the screen and let the song names take that space by activating the study mode. I know it's not a perfect hack and there is "▴SKIP▾A↕B" text under the song name but I think it's a good way to disable the Popcons and you can still change the song with right and left arrow, you just can't change the volume level.
5. I know it's really hard work BUT isn't there anybody who can extract the .ROM file and make changes?

In the end, I can only advise you to buy high quality IEM or headphones with the sound signature you like and to use flat sound.
The FM tuner supports RDS (it's a SI4709) but they won't add RDS because the FM radio is not supposed to be enabled in Europe.
Don't expect new or improved features. Firmware updates are only meant to fix bugs. Like on the YP-U5 BTW. But at the time of the U5 Samsung released new firmwares when I reported bugs to the R&D. Now they don't care anymore and don't even reply to me... There is an issue with SPL playlists (only files at the root of Music directory are read) and I'm not even sure it will be fixed because of that.
I'm French^^ *GenerationMP3 Samsung Moderator*
The USA and Canada use RBDS which is very close to RDS and thus usually compatible. On a few players Samsung support directly RBDS in US region code but on most players you have to use EU region code if you want to get RBDS in North America. But anyways the U7 won't be released in the USA.
RDS is not used in Korea, that's why it is not enabled and will never be enabled in KR code.
The U5 has a SI4703 FM tuner which is probably close to the U7's SI4709, meaning that they could probably easily reuse the same RDS code or very similar code. But for all reasons mentioned above, that won't happen.
The developers don't decide. If the Product Manager said no FM radio in Europe, that means no need for RDS, even if it would take only a few minutes to implement it in firmware.
So it was already true in the past but now that the MP3 market is dying, it's still more true. They only give R&D resources for products with high Return on Investment. Now those are smartphones
For their defense, competitors do the same. You will never see new features on the Sony B series for example^^

Is anyone else having trouble getting tracks to remember their playback position? I started playing a podcast from where it left off last time I listened to it and then skipped to something else. When I came back to it, it had reset to the beginning. No fun when your file is over 6 hours long.
Like any Samsung MP3 player, the YP-U7 only remembers the position in the last file played. If you skipped to another file and then came back to the previous file, it's too late.
If you need real bookmarking capacities, you should get a Cowon player or any Rockboxed device (Sansa Clip+/Clip Zip for instance)
I'm French^^ *GenerationMP3 Samsung Moderator*
Oh so that's deliberate behaviour. Well as long as I know I'm not doing something wrong I can live with that... maybe I'll even develop an attention span longer than 5 minutes! I'd just got used to flitting back and forth for all those years using my iPod Shuffle I thought all players allowed that.
Hi, there! ... Some days ago I've lost my YP-U5 (DAMN ITTT!!!) which I used for years and years, thinking I've choosen nothing special. So I started going on stores, looking for the same kind of player by Samsung. The best I found was the YP-U7 but I discovered (with lot of disappointment) that there's no radio, no voice rec and mostly no way to remove those ugly popcons dancing on the screen! ... So I realized my old U5 was the best one and now I can't find anything that could match it. I tried the YP-Z3, but it's a poor and buggy player (lot of dust under the screen and lot of auto-turn offs during play). I even tried a Sony (the NWZ-B173) but I immediately brought it back because of a poor sound quality under equalizer.
Finally I have to admit that in stick player zone, the YP-U7 seems the best I can get (for price and sound), but I can't stand to those ridiculous icons I used to replace with a custom one on the U5. Really I cannot understand why those stupid Koreans made this. I don't care about the radio (that seems it could be enabled) or the voice rec. So I'd like to ask you this: is there anyone who tried to contact Samsung to ask them for a new firmware to bring the custom icon back, or at least a trick to put it inside the player? Things around suggest this player is not so appreciated as the U6 (no video on yt, very few reviews, etc.). How much time do Samsung need to understand they made a sh*tty thing? ... I'm furious.
Just thinking about the current situation makes me as furious as you. But not for the same reasons as you. I just want them to fix bugs when I report them as it has always been the case before. There is a bug in SPL playlist support on the U7 so I need to harass them again until they reply and release a new firmware
What you want is different and unrealistic: you want new/improved features which have not been planned by Samsung during product development.
1) You should know that Samsung firmwares don't bring new features, they only fix bugs. That was already the case on YP-U5
2) Product planning and managers in Korea decided that there are no custom Popcons on the U7, that's it. They won't change that because 3 people on an english forum don't like that: Their goal is to sell at least a few units on a dying market. Improve or add new features = more development time and cost that won't bring any better Return on Investment because custom icons or not won't make the U7 sell better or worse.
That being said, the U7 is a good player, I prefer it over the U6 as I said in my review and if there are only a few reviews and no videos on youtube, it's just because the dying market in 2010 is almost dead in 2013, it's not because of bad product. If the U5 or U6 were released today they wouldn't get more reviews or videos than the U7.
Conclusion: if you find some bugs on the YP-U7 just let me know, I'll do my best to get them fixed as usual but no need to ask for changed/improved/new features, that won't happen as it never happened in the past.

Clear, I won't buy it. If it's a dying market, they're doing everything to make it fast. Thanks for your answer ...
The U7 is definitely the best USB-key player on the market today so I don't see any other solution than buying a second-handed U5 or buy a non-USB key player like a Sansa Clip+ / Clip Zip.

I have just purchased a new YP-U7AB/XEF and I have an issue that is probably very simple, but I can't see the solution.
I have dragged some loose music files and some albums (in folders) onto the player, but the playback is always in the wrong order.
On my old Samsung loose tracks and albums would be played in alphabetical order, but the contents of folders (albums) would be played in track order.
My new Samsung seems to ignore the folders and treat all the tracks as one large mass and play them all in strictly alphanumerical order. This means bits of albums and random tracks depending on the title.
I've updated to firmware 1.01 KR-00-LJ1 to no avail.
Any help would be much appreciated.
I don't really understand your post
Either your use the tags navigation (artists, albums, songs, genres) and files are played in track order (for an album) or you use the folders navigation (music browser) and files are played in alphabetical order.
I'm French^^ *GenerationMP3 Samsung Moderator*
I don't use tags navigation because that treats all files as one mass.
The Music Browser lets me play a (single) given folder and then stops.
On my old system it started with track 1 and ended when it had played everything. It would play the contents of a folder and then move onto the next folder. Not play track 5 from folder three and then track 7 from folder 1 because that is alphabetical.
It seems to be treating everything as one giant folder full of tracks and playing them alphanumerically. It ignores the folders that the album tracks are in and just seems to see everything at the same level.
Am I missing a setting?
We just said above that it doesn't automatically skip to the next folder so how could it play track 5 from folder three and then track 7 from folder 1?!
Go to Music>Music Browser and you'll see all folders and subfolders, the exact directory tree!
Serioulsy, you really need to tell me what you are doing exactly on your player, step by step, to play a song because what you say doesn't make any sense to me :S
Maybe you are mixing up tags (album) with folders/files, I don't know...

I had a YP-U6AB U6.
I would select play on it and it played each folder (album) in turn until it reached the end and stopped. Or repeated from the beginning if that was selected.
This current one ignores folders and treats all the files as if they were in the same folder. They are played in strictly alphanumeric order. Which obviously ruins playback of live or mix albums.
Selecting individual albums or tracks on a player seems like a major step back - and pointless on a system that currently has several dozen albums and loose tracks totaling over 600 tracks. A playlist of that size seems mildly insane as well.
It seems logical (to me) that I should be able to hit play and the machine just works through what it contains without changing the playback order arbitrarily. After all that was what my last one did! Which is the model before this one!

ZF-3749: Zend_Translate with the gettext adapter returns an unexpected result when called with an empty string
When Zend_Translate (used with the gettext adapter) is fed an empty string, it returns a long string of header file information (see ZF-2914). This is the normal behaviour.
However, when Zend_Form uses Zend_Translate in a similar context, the output is not appropriate.
For example, if I have a list for which I want the first entry to be empty (so there is no default selection made), the label of that first entry (an empty string) is being translated by the gettext adapter to the string of system info. This is obviously not what I want.
$form->birthYear->addMultiOption('', ''); or $form->birthYear->addMultiOption(null, null);
Will output something like
Project-Id-Version: removed Report-Msgid-Bugs-To: POT-Creation-Date: 2008-07-23 22:23-0500 PO-Revision-Date: Last-Translator: removed Language-Team: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit X-Poedit-Language: English X-Poedit-Country: CANADA X-Poedit-SourceCharset: utf-8 X-Poedit-KeywordsList: translate X-Poedit-Basepath: removed X-Poedit-SearchPath-0: removed
I believe this behaviour, which has been corrected for fieldset labels (ZF-2913), should also be corrected for field labels.
Thank you.
Assigning to Thomas.
For your information: This is not a bug of Zend_Translate.
When gettext files are compiled with poEdit the editor adds it's own information as translation of an empty string. ALL translations are used and returned, of course also an empty translation.
So the general question is:
Do we want to suppress the informations when they are provided ? Or do we change Zend_Form to "not translate" empty strings.
Suppressing the informations raise another possible problems... other editors could add such information in a different translation. As mentioned this is a poEdit ONLY problem which adds this information as translation for an empty string.
As Thomas notes, this is not a bug in Zend_Translate, and Zend_Translate is only doing Zend_Form's bidding; ultimately, it's a poEdit issue.
I'm closing this, as there's no reasonable solution on the framework side.
New feature implemented with r10517.
Empty translations are now suppressed by the gettext adapter. Adapter informations can be retrieved with the new 'getAdapterInfo()' method.
Updating for the 1.6.0 release.

- 3 Certification Authorities
Transport Layer Security (TLS) and its predecessor, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), are cryptographic protocols that provide secure communications on the Internet for such things as web browsing, e-mail, faxing, instant messaging and other data transfers. There are slight differences between SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0, but the protocol remains substantially the same.
Creating an SSL Website on DreamHost
The normal HTTP protocol transmits information across the internet in the clear. Anyone who has access to any of the networks between the client browser and your DH server can easily peek at the data and see everything. To guard against this, use the SSL/TLS protocol instead. When using the secure protocol, your web site address will start with https:// instead of http://.
Why not?
At DreamHost, the encryption and decryption of the data is done in software, not hardware. It is slow, so you should only encrypt the parts of your web site that really need it. For example, pages that collect or show credit card numbers or other very personal information. The best way to guard important information is to not have it. So do not collect secret information unless you must.
How to do it
- Decide which website will be secure. You can secure your main website (eg company.com) or a sub-domain such as secure.company.com. Most SSL certificates are sold on a per-domain basis, so you'll want to decide on a secure sub-domain and stick with it.
- If you'll be using secure.company.com, create the new sub-domain using the DH Panel Section Domains / Manage Domains / Add new Domain / Sub-Domain. You will only be using one address, so don't make both secure.company.com and www.secure.company.com valid. Note: You'll need DH to fully host the new sub-domain, forwarding won't work.
- Get a fixed IP address. HTTPS requires a fixed IP address. After your sub-domain has been created, use the Add IP link underneath your sub-domain's name on the DH panel: Domains / Manage Domains
- Submit your certificate request to a certification authority. Use the link Edit in the column Secure Hosting on the DH Panel page Domains / Manage Domains You can use any certificate authority, a list is below.
- After you receive your certificate from your certification authority, install it using the same screen as the previous step
- You will also receive an "intermediate certificate". Upload this to your home directory by FTP, and then contact support to ask them to install this intermediate certificate.
- Test: test out your new secure site by using the address https://company.com. Use https://secure.company.com if you selected the sub domain option. You should see your domain's data and your browser's HTTPS indicator (a lock or similar) should light up. You should not get any pop-up messages about certificates, etc.
Problem solving
- If your secure site doesn't show any data, make sure that it works properly using the regular protocol: browse to http://company.com and you should see your web site in its full glory. (But without the security indicator from your browser.)
- If you get a security pop-up message about your secure site, you may not have the certificate installed correctly or the certificate may be for a different site. Remember that a certificate for company.com will usually not work for www.company.com. Ask your certificate authority and DH for help.
- If you get a pop-up that some elements on the page are secure and others are not secure: the problem is that a page on your secure site https://company.com includes items on the page (such as images, CSS files or JavaScript files) from non-secure websites. You need to make sure that everything on the page is from a secure site. Your images need to be on your secure site (or someone else's). Image URLs should either start with https:// or start with a relative URL (eg foo.gif, images/woof.jpg, etc).
Transport selection
Your pages won't be encrypted if your web site visitor surfed to company.com since the default transport for browsers is http, not https. To solve this, you have multiple options: Easiest is to not advertise the secure version of company.com directly. Instead, people should visit www.company.com, then use links to visit specific pages on the secure site as needed. Your links should send people to "https://company.com/whatever" don't use a link of "http://company.com/whatever"
You can write software to re-direct people from http://company.com/whatever to https://company.com/whatever
Or both
Security is deeper than the HTTPS protocol
Remember that the HTTPS protocol is only a very small part of creating a secure web site. Your web site implementation, especially database web sites, must be securely written and tested.
Certification Authorities
Any of the following vendors can be used. Differing amounts of warranties make little or no difference to web surfers, they're just looking for the little lock symbol to light up on their browsers.
Extended Validation certificates
The marketing pitch: Extended Validation SSL Certificates deliver a new level of trust to your website visitors. Starting with Microsoft® Internet Explorer 7, the address bar will turn green confirming your site identity as verified by a Certification Authority (CA) according to the most rigorous industry guidelines established by the CA/Browser Forum.
The reality: They're more expensive and take longer to get. Not yet clear how much of a difference, if any, they'll make to your web surfers. But they do look impressive when using IE 7.
Certification Authorities
- Comodo --Relatively inexpensive, their Instant SSL and higher certs work fine
- Geotrust -- Expensive, recommended by Dream Host
- GoDaddy^ -- Very cheap, and their least expensive option is confirmed to work with Dreamhost.
- Startcom^ -- Free certificates, however these certificates currently cause your site to display warning messages to visitors using Microsoft Internet Explorer.
- Thawte -- Expensive
- Verisign -- Very Expensive. Famous name.
^ Note that with Startcom and Godaddy, the SSL.key file you'll receive will be password-protected. To make it work with DreamHost, you'll need to decrypt it. The following command, either in your DreamHost shell, or any local Unix box you have access to, will do it.
openssl rsa -in ssl.key -out ssl.decrypted.key
Paste the decrypted key into the DreamHost panel, and you have a free, working SSL key!

World Population Program, IIASA

- Stakeholder type: Major Group
- Name: World Population Program, IIASA
- Submission Document: Download
Full SubmissionConvinced by the need to integrate the three pillars of sustainable development (economic development, social development, and environmental protection), IIASA (with funding from the United Nations Population Fund) brought together more than twenty population and development experts to discuss how population factors promote or impede sustainable development. The experts, including Indian-born economist, Sir Partha DasGupta, Chinese demographer, Dr Peng Xizhe, and former Chief Scientific Adviser to UK Government, Sir David King, conclude with five broad actions that they recommend to the Rio+20, United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development. Following are their conclusions and recommendations: Demographic Challenges for Sustainable Development The Laxenburg Declaration on Population and Sustainable Development Statement of a Global Expert Panel (October 2011) �DHuman beings are at the centre of concern for sustainable development.�� This was the view expressed in the 1992 Rio Declaration on Environment and Development, which we reaffirm. Therefore, consideration of the changing numbers, characteristics, and distributions of human beings on the planet must be at the core of any serious analysis of challenges and opportunities for sustainable development. Any analysis of sustainable development must recognize the differences among people in terms of their impacts on the environment and their vulnerabilities to risk, which depend on their age, gender, location, and other socioeconomic characteristics. New evidence indicates that human capital, enhanced through education and health (including reproductive health), can make a substantial difference in people��s contributions to sustainable development and their capacity to adapt to environmental change. Only by accounting for and addressing demographic factors will it be possible to achieve sustainable development. Investments in human capital should be emphasized alongside other measures to promote sustainable development, a �Dgreen economy��, and adaptation to environmental change. The current demographic divide Over the last half century, world population has more than doubled, from 3 billion in 1960 to 7 billion today. Because of the young age structure in low- and middle-income countries, continuing population growth in the coming decades is a virtual certainty, even in the unlikely event that birth rates fall precipitously in these countries. Consequently, the world��s population will very likely be between 8 and 11 billion by 2050, depending primarily on the speed of future fertility decline. But this population growth will not occur evenly across the globe. Indeed, traditional demographic groupings have broken down. While the population of sub-Saharan Africa is likely to increase by a factor of three to five over the course of this century, Eastern Europe is already on a declining trajectory. China, due to its very rapid recent fertility decline, is likely to reach a peak population in 10�C20 years and then enter an era of population decline. Along with China and other developing countries with low fertility, the industrialized countries face the challenges of population aging and changing living arrangements, including the adjustments that need to be made to social security and health care systems. Meanwhile, life expectancies are on the rise in most countries, even those worst hit by HIV/AIDS. Mortality decline is a long-term trend that research indicates will likely continue, both in countries where people now live the longest and in those where life expectancy is much shorter. Levels of mobility, urbanization, and education also differ substantially among and within regions, adding significant dimensions to the demographic divide. Nearly all of the world's population growth will occur in the cities and towns of today's poor countries, primarily because of rural-to-urban migration combined with high national population growth. Meanwhile, the populations of many low-fertility countries will be declining. The demographic divide between rapidly growing urban populations in poor countries and slow growth or decline in industrialized countries is historically unprecedented. These demographic differences fundamentally affect people��s contribution to environmental burdens, their ability to participate in sustainable development, and their adaptability to a changing environment. Different demographic challenges require differentiated responses. The developmental challenges are by far the most significant where population growth and poverty are the highest, education is the lowest, and vulnerabilities to environmental change are the greatest. Negative impacts on the environment tend to be the most significant where people��s material consumption levels are at their highest. Demographic factors in the transition to a green economy Efforts to meet the legitimate needs and aspirations of rapidly growing populations in developing countries and to reduce poverty will entail higher consumption and production; if inappropriately managed, these efforts will further increase pressure on the natural environment. As well as increasing carbon emissions through fossil fuel combustion with current technologies, population growth also often contributes to depletion and degradation of essential life-support systems, including deforestation, depletion of aquatic resources, air pollution, loss of biodiversity, and degradation of agricultural lands. It is important to reduce such negative impacts on the environment and the global climate in order to derive multiple benefits for local as well as global sustainable development. Fertility decline in high-fertility countries, by slowing population growth, makes many environmental problems easier to solve and development easier to achieve. Some of these benefits operate through the changing age structure that declining fertility induces. If the number of children relative to the working-age population is reduced, the demographic dependency ratio falls, creating an opportunity to increase investments in health, education, infrastructure, and environmental protection. It has been shown empirically that this demographic bonus, if properly utilized, can help propel countries out of poverty. Research in the last decade suggests that education increases people��s life opportunities in general, greatly contributes to technological and social innovation, and creates the mental flexibility required for a rapid transition to a green economy. This applies to both low- and high-income countries. Hence, the enhancement of human capital from early childhood to old age through formal and informal education and life-long learning is now known to be a decisive policy priority. The majority of the world��s population now lives in urban areas, and urbanization is certain to continue. As recent research has affirmed, urbanization often improves people��s economic productivity and their access to education, health, and other services. However, urban population growth also presents challenges for urban planning and good governance: challenges that are especially acute in environmentally fragile locations. For the African and Asian countries where urban growth is most rapid, reducing vulnerability will require the urban transition to be achieved without the creation of undue environmental hazards or social inequality. Investing in the tide of global youth A striking demographic challenge is the rapidly increasing tide of young people entering the labor markets of developing countries with high aspirations but limited opportunities to find productive employment. Globally, there are 1.2 billion young men and women aged 15�C24, the typical age for entering the labor market. And there are many more young people to come. In sub-Saharan Africa alone, the population aged 15�C24 will likely increase from its current level of 170 million to 360 million by mid-century. With youth unemployment rates already high, assuring proper education and creating jobs for those hundreds of millions of young people are top priorities. If not given the chance for a decent life, these masses of young people without much hope for the future can pose a serious threat to social and political stability. But if they are provided with education and appropriate jobs, the young possess enormous potential for innovation, including the ability to adopt new technologies that accelerate economic progress and speed up the transition to a green economy. With a long life ahead of them, young people are likely to have genuine interest in sustainability because they themselves would experience the repercussions of unsustainable trends. Ages 15-24 are when people marry and begin to have children. Increasing education and employment will have a predictably major impact on fertility decline through postponed marriage and childbearing, thereby reducing future population growth in the developing world. Hence, ensuring appropriate investment in young people��which must begin in early childhood when the seeds of future development are planted��must be an essential component of broader policy packages to promote global sustainable development. Differential vulnerability of people must shape appropriate policy Environmental degradation and climate change do not affect all countries and all geographic regions in the same way. Vulnerability also varies significantly among people living in the same region, according to their socioeconomic circumstances. Even within a household, effects can differ importantly according to age and gender. Policies to reduce vulnerability must therefore focus on the most vulnerable segments of the population within countries and regions. Region-specific or even urban/rural-specific policies alone no longer suffice. Ignoring the more particular demographic dimensions of vulnerability will misdirect the focus of policy and dilute its impacts. The spatial distribution of populations among regions, between village and city, and across cities is a significant dimension of sustainable development. Migration within and between countries has always been an integral part of the human response to changing economic, social, and environmental conditions. This pattern is likely to continue, not only due to increased economic opportunities facilitated by improved information and transport systems and globalization of production and labor markets, but also exacerbated by population displacement and relocation due to environmental degradation and civil conflict. The principal demographic factors that increase vulnerability are poverty, poor health, low levels of education, gender inequality, declining family support for the elderly, and unfavorable geographic location. Populations with these characteristics also often lack a political voice, putting them at even greater risk. Within these populations, women and children are usually the poorest and least empowered. Vulnerability is reduced and adaptive capacity enhanced where there is investment in poor people��s human capital, particularly their education, and most particularly the education of girls and women, whose importance in these adoptive and adaptive processes is now known to be especially great. Policies that do not include features focused on these people will likely not succeed. Five action implications for sustainable development 1) Recognize that the numbers, characteristics, and behaviors of people are at the heart of sustainable development challenges and of their solutions. 2) Identify subpopulations that contribute most to environmental degradation and those that are most vulnerable to its consequences. In poor countries especially, these subpopulations are readily identifiable according to age, gender, level of education, place of residence, and standard of living. 3) Devise sustainable development policies to treat these subpopulations differently and appropriately, according to their demographic and behavioral characteristics. 4) Facilitate the inevitable trend of increasing urbanization in ways that ensure that environmental hazards and vulnerabilities are under control. 5) Invest in human capital��people��s education and health, including reproductive health��to slow population growth, accelerate the transition to green technologies, and improve people��s adaptive capacity to environmental change. This expert panel convened at the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) in Vienna on September 30-October 1, 2011.

Rated 4.3 out of 5 by 6 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by kat528 Beautiful colors, great pattern, super plush rug This thing is awesome! The colors are even prettier in person than on the screen. (Note that I said "prettier" and not "different"—don't be scared.) The rug is so plush, I'm honestly surprised every time I step on it. It's so much thicker than my other rugs at home. People comment a lot about the shedding when new. I've noticed some, but it's not that bad. And, my other rugs do that/did that and they're not nearly as nice as this (including one from Drexel Heritage). January 30, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Cyndi I was surprised at how thick this rug is. When we rolled the rug out we couldn't believe how thick it was! It has lots of different colors and is very unique looking. Because of the design itself it looks nice under a dining room table. Online the main color looks gray, but it's actually blue. I still couldn't be happier and highly recommend it! November 13, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Wickedsusie Great wool rug I purchased a 6'x9" one a little over a year ago and decided a couple of months ago that it was not quite large enough for the area I had it in. So this one went in our dining room and a larger one now graces our living room. Love, love, love these rugs. The color is beautiful, not garish, thick, sturdy and soft underfoot. Vacuums like a charm and clean up is quick and easy with a rug cleaning product. Just be advised that you will need to vacuum this rug quite often until it stops shedding. October 22, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by jl2000 Even more beautiful in person Couldn't be happier with our purchase. Colors are perfect, and looks expensive. It does shed a lot, but so do our other new rugs. Just keep vacuuming and it will eventually stop. December 31, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by jmbsol Nice I'm glad to have finally gotten one of these. The first one i ordered was damaged in a FedEx truck accident and they had sold out so couldn't re-ship. Then they were on backorder for quite a few months. Was worth the wait. Is true to picture though i would say the tones are slightly more subdued than in the picture. It is blue-grey with rust tones. Very good looking rug, has a 'regal' feel...you'll like it. October 7, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by GTS80 Piece of Junk - Sheds Nonstop We have had this rug for about a month, and are extremely unhappy with the quality. It sheds everywhere -- gets all over our clothes, furniture, etc. Some of the other reviewers of this rug have mentioned "oh it sheds for a bit, but it'll stop." Not accurate. We have been vacuuming this rug about every other day for the past month and it continues to shed so much that it clogs up our vacuum cleaner -- see picture. In addition to constant shedding, the rug is pilling up in several places, which makes me think that it won't last long. Overall, the quality of this rug does not justify the price at all, and we feel that the description of the product and the reviews of it are misleading. November 21, 2014

|Nancy Westermeyer Monroe
Nancy Monroe was a four-time AIAW national qualifier for the Idaho women's swimming and diving team from 1971-75. She was the first four-time AIAW-qualifier in Idaho women's swimming history. She specialized in the freestyle and butterfly events and left the school holding school records in both. It was the success of Monroe and her early teammates that helped put Idaho on the map in women's swimming in the Northwest and the nation and led to the team hosting the AIAW National Meet in 1973. She was chosen the Vandals' Most Inspirational Swimmer for four successive seasons 1972-75, and was the Most Outstanding Swimmer in 1972, 1974 and 1975. She was in the first class of female student-athletes at the University of Idaho. She earned her first scholarship in 1972. The total award $175. The student-athletes were encouraged to compete in more than one sport so she added volleyball to her repertoire.
