Your laptop is the gateway to a mobile lifestyle—you're no longer tied to your desk, you can take your laptop wherever you go, and you can stay connected almost anywhere. It opens up a whole new world of exciting possibilities! But first, you need to figure out how to connect your laptop to the Internet when you're away from your desk, how to use it on battery power if you can't plug it in, and how to help keep it safe from harm. Windows provides some great features for getting the most out of your laptop. Mobility Center is a central location where you can view and change many of these settings quickly and easily. For more information, see Using Windows Mobility Center.
Open Windows Mobility Center by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, clicking Mobile PC, and then clicking Windows Mobility Center.
The best thing about your laptop is that you can use it practically anywhere. When you connect to a wireless network, you can work, surf the web, and send e‑mail from anywhere in the world or just from your living room couch.
Connect to the Internet from anywhere in your home. The best way to connect to the Internet from home is to use a wireless network. If you don't already have a wireless home network, don't worry, it's easy to create one. For more information, see Setting up a wireless network.
Connect to the Internet from a hotspot. Many coffee shops, hotels, airports, and even public parks are Internet hotspots. You can use the Internet connection at a hotspot to surf the web or check e‑mail. Some hotspots are free; others require a one-time fee or a monthly subscription. Many hotspots provide specific instructions on how to connect, so if you're having trouble, look for posted instructions or ask someone who works there. For information about how to connect to a wireless network, see View and connect to available wireless networks.
You might also be able to use a PC Card from your mobile phone service provider to connect your laptop to the Internet anywhere in your mobile phone coverage area. Contact your mobile phone service provider for more information about this service.
One of the most common problems with laptops is running out of battery power before you're finished using your computer. Battery Status in Windows Mobility Center shows you how much charge is left in your battery and offers a quick way to change power plans so that your battery lasts longer.
Using the right power plan, adjusting the screen brightness, and unplugging computer peripherals that you're not using help make your battery last longer between charges.
Power plans.
Windows includes three power plans—Power saver, High performance, and Balanced—to conserve battery power, make your computer perform better, or strike a balance between the two. Unless you change the power plan, your laptop uses the Balanced power plan to automatically balance system performance and battery life. To
make your battery last longer, choose the Power saver plan.
Screen brightness. The brighter your screen, the more battery power your computer uses. Power plans will automatically adjust the screen brightness, but to maximize battery life, you can make the screen dimmer by changing the brightness setting in Mobility Center.
Unused peripherals. An external mouse, music player, or other USB device uses your computer's power when it's plugged in. Unplug these devices if you're not using them, and try using a built-in pointing device, such as a touch pad or tablet pen, to conserve battery power.
If you want to customize settings for when you're running on battery power, you can create your own power plans. For more information, see Change, create, or delete a power plan (scheme).
If you take your laptop with you everywhere you go, you need to be extra careful. Help protect the information on your computer by using a strong password and frequently backing up your files. To help protect your computer from getting lost or stolen, don't let it out of your sight when it's not in your home or office. Use a cable lock whenever you need to step away from your laptop (even at the office). You can get a cable lock at almost any store that sells computers. For more information and tips about keeping your laptop safe, see Protecting your laptop when on the go.

The one that I am most excited for, in anticipation of Halloween of course, is "Shivers in the Night" on Friday, Sept. 2. Check back here for full coverage of this night of the festival.
My excitement probably spawns from the fact that I have a passion for scary stories. When I was in Elementary school, I can remember having sleepovers with my friends and reading Goosebumps books with a flashlight after the lights were out and the parents went to bed. One of the girls always got too scared and eventually crept into her parents' room to spend the night. Coward. The rest of us were all scared senseless too, but we suffered through it. As I got older, I turned to legendary scare-masters like Edgar Allen Poe to make my heart race. I even tried my own hand at scary stories, but found that I lack a persuasively creepy vibe, which I guess could be a good thing.
Although writing a frightening story takes a lot of talent, reciting one from memory is a whole different animal. For a story-teller to be good, it takes a special craftiness in multiple areas in order to be believable. Storytellers have to have impeccable timing, excellent facial expressions and a certain voice; it's impossible to exactly define this "voice", but in essence it has to be engaging and intriguing, making you want to hear more. Most importantly, a storyteller must be sensitive to the listeners and be able to feed off of and respond to their emotions and responses. After all, it is the audience that makes an excellent story teller. If the listeners buy into the story and are sold, you've just succeeded. So, grab a friend or a significant other and learn from the masters at the Timpanogos Storytelling Festival.

ZF-8162: Several TYPOs in Zend_Mail_Protocol_Imap and Zend_Mail_Protocol_Pop3
Zend_Mail_Protocol_Imap->connect has synopsis "Open connection to POP3 server". There's a bit too much copy-pasting here:
* Open connection to POP3 server
* @param string $host hostname of IP address of POP3 server
* @param int|null $port of IMAP server, default is 143 (993 for ssl)
* @param string|bool $ssl use 'SSL', 'TLS' or false
* @return string welcome message
* @throws Zend_Mail_Protocol_Exception
public function connect($host, $port = null, $ssl = false)
The $host parameter's description also needs to be fixed. BTW, this should read "hostname or IP address", not "hostname of IP address".
Thank you for report, Filipus. I fixed several TYPOs in PHPDoc at r18725 in trunk.
1) from "hostname of IP address" to "hostname or IP address" .
PHPDoc of connect() and __construct() in Zend_Mail_Protocol_Imap . And same in Zend_Mail_Protocol_Pop3 .
2) from "POP3" to "IMAP" .
2 TYPOs in connect() in Zend_Mail_Protocol_Imap .

China's family of new generation expendable launch vehicles were announced in February 2001, and modified descriptions were provided at the Wuzhai Air Show and IAC in late 2002. Propulsion system details and masses were released at the FAI in Bremen in September 2003. These modular stages were as follows:
The new launch vehicles were said to be designed for a 98% reliability as compared to 91% for existing Chinese designs. They were also said to be expected to be 20% cheaper than existing designs. Chief Designer for the new series was Long Lehao.
The new family would use a unique 'direct-to-pad' integration concept using highly automated systems with a total cycle time of only 20 days. The launch vehicle was to be assembled vertically on the launch pad as soon as the stages arrived at the site. It would be checked out in a mobile service tower (MST). In parallel to this the payload would be integrated and encapsulated in a separate encapsulation facility. The encapsulated payload was to be transferred and mated to the launch vehicle only three days before launch.
Status: Development.

influenza virus vaccine - syringe intradermal, Fluzone
GENERIC NAME: INFLUENZA VIRUS VACCINE - SYRINGE INTRADERMAL (IN-floo-EN-za)
BRAND NAME(S): Fluzone
Medication Uses | How To Use | Side Effects | Precautions | Drug Interactions | Overdose | Notes | Missed Dose | Storage
USES: This medication is used to prevent infection by the influenza (flu) virus. It is also called the seasonal flu shot. Influenza can cause serious illness (rarely death), especially in young children, older adults, and people with chronic health problems. Vaccines work by helping the body produce its own protection (antibodies) against the virus.Vaccination is the best way to prevent infection and decrease the seriousness of illness if you become infected. The brand and dose of vaccine you receive depends on your age.As with any vaccine, it may not fully protect everyone who receives it. Since different types of flu viruses cause infection every flu season, usually a new vaccine is produced and given for each flu season.
Report Problems to the Food and Drug Administration

They stood a dozen deep. Young and old, they lined the streets behind the flag-draped barricades. The rain began to fall almost as if the sky itself mourned the loss of a leader. Inside the cathedral, the music began as guests arrived and were seated. From around the world they came to pay tribute to the former Prime Minister of Great Britain, Baroness Margaret Thatcher. It was my distinct honor to be among them and offer my respects to a woman who became a transformational world leader.
She grew up as the grocer's daughter and lost two races before her constituency chose her to represent them in the House of Commons. Her rise to Prime Minister was not without its hardships, but it was done with great grace. In fact, grace might be the watchword of her life's journey. She led, she fought, she nurtured, and she inspired all with that stern womanly grace now synonymous with The Iron Lady.
Baroness Thatcher is for me one of those great conservative leaders. She, along with President Reagan, believed and acted on the principle that one who agreed with 80% of your fight was your ally, not your enemy. She held true to her conservative principles in the face of overwhelming public opinion. Her determination in freedom and freedom's cause truly changed the world.
As heads of state began to arrive, I wondered what Lady Thatcher would have thought of it all. The service was reverent and beautifully delivered as she would have wanted. As the final blessing was pronounced, the sun broke through the clouds, brightening the glass windows, and bathing the cathedral in light. It was a homegoing for a daughter of faith. As I head back home, I know I'll keep her legacy close as we continue the conservative fight she championed.

Should the city of Minot be responsible for repair bills for cars damaged by running over all the potholes in the city streets?
The high water table in and around Minot causes pot holes on north and south hill. I am not defending the city, just pointing out some facts. Did the city waste federal money? Probably, from a practical standpoint, however, there are so many regs set forth by the bureaucrats in DC, I am not sure the city has a choice in how they spend flood money.
1 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
How can this be with so many tax increases going toward road repair! Keep on giving more sheeple. Hahahaha!
0 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
How would you prove what pothole caused it? It couldve been someone's driveway, going off curbs, running something over, or done in a private parking lot. So no I don't want to use my tax money to fix an idiots car.
4 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
To be fair, already extreme weather conditions coupled with an increase in heavy vehicular traffic - semis headed out to Williston, the plows, and earth movers et al involved in construction projects all over town - make for pocky, debilitated road surfaces. Disgusted is right, though, in saying that asphalt manufacturing is only now getting back into the full swing of things.
2 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
There are many cities who have same weather conditions and weather restrictions as Minot and not all have as poor of street conditions as Minot, I may be wrong, but I think street conditions here are rather extreme.
3 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Disgusted: with all do respect, a lot, not all, but a lot of the really bad streets were under water during the flood. And I don't need your explanation of pot holes, I may have been born at night, but it wasn't last night.
1 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Flood money was not disignated for yearly pot holes. As soon as the streets cleared, the city was out using the temp filler till the asphalt mfg'r started the spring production and until there is not frost at night. Pot holes are a yearly spring event.
2 Agrees | 3 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
NO I don't think the city should be liable, but I do think they could have done much more to repair the streets, there seems to be a lot of flood money unaccounted for!

5 Agrees | 2 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
If you are that ignorant to hit a pothole at a fast enough speed that you damage your vehicle, then you deserve it for your stupidity. NO, the city should not be responsible for that. Wow, gimme, gimme, gimme.

Answer: no, of course they shouldn't. Drive a bit more slowly, if need be, being mindful of road conditions as you go.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Geef87 Very cute and versatile This stool is very cute ~ I will admit it's a little smaller and lower than I thought it was going to be, but my new couch is lower, so it works out. I'm a little more used to an 'ottoman' than a footstool, but now I know! My house is beachy ~ my couch a garnet red, my rug has some large red tropical flowers in it, and my accent color is mostly turquoise. This little stool actually works really well with it's neutral gray color and the red in the plaid. Plus, because it's neutral, it doesn't show all the dog hair the dog's shedding for the summer. :) August 23, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by LyDi Great Little Stool I was looking for a low footstool for my aging kitty to use to jump up to her favorite chair. This footstool is just perfect. It is nice quality and super easy to put together. Getting it on sale was an added bonus! May 21, 2014

Rated 5 out of 5 by SallyS Awesome stool It looks just like the photo - good colors that are not too bright or too dull. Size is excellent. Product had no odd odors at all. It arrived very fast and was a snap to put the legs on. The size is just right - not too big, nor too small - not too short, nor too tall. I love that this will go in any setting and frankly it looks like an heriloom piece instead of new. Very nice! November 26, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Nerr Great Footstool I just wanted a plain, little footstool and that is what I found at World Market. The footstool goes with everything, it's very sturdy, just what I needed. Thank you World Market :-) October 3, 2013

Thermolon Granite
Thermolon Granite is not just a non-stick coating: it is a healthy and environment-friendly alternative to traditional non-stick coatings. Thermolon Granite is PTFE-free, PFOA is not used as a raw material, it does not release toxic gases when frying at high temperatures and is extremely resistant to overheating. For the production of this new non-stick coating technology compared to traditional non-stick coatings twice as little energy is required, resulting in a 60% reduction of CO2 emissions. The ceramic coating has a noticeably higher heat-resistance and combines perfect non-stick properties with ease of use.
Frying delicate ingredients
The excellent non-stick properties of Thermolon Granite and the optimal heat conduction of the Demeyere technology, make the pans with this non-stick coating ideal for quickly frying delicate products such as fresh foie gras, delicate fish types (such as monkfish), scallops etc. Also delicate vegetables, such as wood mushrooms, can be perfectly sautéed with a little bit of fat.
The combination of a Demeyere pan that has excellent heat conduction and an ecologically responsible and high-quality non-stick coating makes the Demeyere pans with Thermolon Granite a product that should not be missing in your kitchen. You will be saving both energy and the environment.

The State Agency considers organized activities directly related to the provision of childcare, e.g. field trips, to be an "extension of the facility and subject to regulation." Therefore, you may claim reimbursement for meals that are served during a field trip if the activity is directly related to childcare and all program requirements are met.
Program requirements include, but are not limited to the following:
- Meals must meet meal pattern requirements for the appropriate age group and must be served to eligible children;
- All state and local health department standards, including maintaining food at proper temperatures, must be followed;
- Meal counts for meals served to eligible children must be documented on the meal participation record at the point of service.
- Meals must be provided by an approved source (self-preparation or vended). Meals purchased from restaurants or "fast food" outlets are not reimbursable without a product analysis from the food manufacturer.
- Meals that are served to children who are in transit to the providers or their homes cannot be claimed as reimbursable meals.
Organizations are not required to obtain prior approval when planning a field trip. However, sponsors of family day care homes may require that providers obtain prior approval for field trips as a condition of reimbursement for meals served off-site.
Occasionally, field trips may include a visit to a Summer Food Service Program for Children (SFSPC) site. You cannot claim reimbursement for meals that are served at SFSPC sites.

The Four Day Week: Lessons Learned From Taking Fridays Off
by Rebecca Ryan - Feb, 2010
In January 2010, we shrank our work week from five days to four, giving everyone Fridays off. The idea was born of economic necessity; Fridays off seemed like a way to give something back to our teammates in exchange for the salary sacrifices they were willing to make. Our teammates loved it! On Fridays they sleep late, have lunch with friends, start long weekends with their loved ones, and pursue their hobbies. It's been a...
Three Ways to Tame Your Email (and get back in the zone)

Extra Effort Required To Attract and Retain 25-34 Year Olds: A Tale of Ten Cities

Nine Tips to Reach the Next Gen with Email

Smaller email lists (under 1,000 recipients) get the best open rates. If you've got more than 1,000 on you...
Catching People at Their Best

I once got a lovely email from one of my staff members. Her son was sick, and she chose to work from home so that she could look after him.

When I saw her that morning, I acknowledged receiving her note. She said, "You thank us all the time, and it occured to me that you prob...

"I'll stop after I win a game," I told myself. Th...
Vote for the Arts

This year, I have the privilege of helping Milwaukee's United Performing Arts Fund (UPAF) raise over nine million. Piece of cake. Why? Because in Milwaukee, young professionals, entrepreneurs,...

In a collaborative project with the Summit County Health Department, the University of Utah and Bio Fire Diagnostics, an Idaho-based clinical diagnostics company, students in the high school participated in a grant project that tested rapid viral diagnostic technology and the presence of viruses in the school.
"It's important for people to see what the health department does and to see it out in the community," said Richard Bullough, director of the Summit County Health Department. "I think this project did that."
In October, the health department and university students went into classrooms and collected nasal swab samples to tested students to see if, and what, communicable diseases may be in the school. In 45 minutes, they collected 900 nasal swabs from students and teachers. Using special machines that can test for 20 viral and bacterial respiratory pathogens in just more than an hour, students were able to see same-day results.
"I think the exposure of seeing the university, the microscope set up, the transporting of swabs, the presentations in the classroom and why we were doing this, it was very educational for students," said PCHS Nurse Gina Agy. "Preventative measures in health are paramount, from covering your cough to staying home when you are sick, because this is how communicable diseases are spread.
After nearly a year in planning, the project results were presented to the Summit County Board of Health this week, relaying the benefits of the partnerships to board members. Though only a handful of common cold viruses came up in the study, the Coronavirus and the Human Rhinovirus, the potential uses of the specialized machines could reach into classrooms again, said Carolyn Rose, the Nursing Director for the Summit County Health Department.
The first cases of H1N1 in the state appeared in Summit County in 2009, and the Center for Disease Control was keeping a close eye on the virus, which some health experts originally worried could mimic the Spanish Flu Virus. Rather than wait for symptoms, Rose said the application of the study could be recreated if another virus such as H1N1 emerged.
"H1N1 created a lot of chaos, and it was scary," Rose said. " It would depend on the virus, and when you're looking at that and it makes sense, we could test a whole school in a very short amount of time It was a good learning experience and a good way to build these partnerships."
Beyond the implications for the health department and the ability to stem communicable diseases from spreading in schools, Rose said the study could impact students' interest in health.
"It is important that students get some real life experience with public health," she added. "It could lead students into a new career, to go into health or the technological side of the study."

Denise Milani
Czech Republic
"Believe it or not, it takes awhile to find a bikini that fits me and it's not just because I'm so busty. A g-string bottom that rides just right on my hips is important, and nobody wants a thong between their cheeks that's not comfortable."
- Denise Milani
We can think of two very good reasons why every man should be familiar with Denise Milani. Known to many as "the new queen of eroticism," this outrageously curvaceous Czech has established herself as the planet's most popular non-nude glamour model thank to her sexy photo shoots at www.denisemilani.com and www.pinupfiles.com. Drop by and "Czech" her out today! Better yet, take a closer, more revealing look at the real life of Denise Milani in AskMen's Denise Milani: A Better Look.
Although it's easy to find titillating photos of Milani in skimpy string bikinis and revealing fishnet tops, this busty brunette has no intentions of posing nude any time soon. "I already have a huge response without being topless, so I never intend to do a nude photo shoot," she explains. "Think it odd? Think back to the days of the burlesque queens who had men at their feet without ever once being nude in front of them. Confidence is sexy. Exposed flesh? Not always. I like to leave something to the imagination of men." Trust us when we assure you, Denise, that our imaginations are running wild.
Although Denise Milani loves arousing men online, her career aspirations go far beyond g-strings and string bikinis. "My dream job and major career goal is to be a spokesperson for fitness, nutrition and an overall healthy lifestyle," she says. "I have found great peace and happiness pursuing a healthy lifestyle and I would like to share my joy with others. This is why I am obtaining my fitness certification and am learning about nutrition and even psychology on a daily basis."

We hosted a special workshop inspired by the inventive wordplay of our 2012 American Music Master honoree – Chuck Berry, with guest presenters Amy Rosenbluth (Lake Erie Ink) and Kathy Lawrence (Cleveland Heights High School). Teachers learned how to bring spoken word and slam poetry into the classroom to help students connect with learning and with themselves. This workshop was appropriate for upper-elementary through high school teachers (Grades 4-12).
Amy Rosenbluth is a credentialed 7-12 English teacher and Co-Director of Lake Erie Ink: a writing space for youth. Amy has been facilitating teen poetry slams and poetry workshops since the early 1990's when she first discovered the power of spoken word. Amy began her teaching career in the Bay Area and has been working with youth in the greater Cleveland area since 1997 in a variety of settings, both in schools and out. Amy has been actively involved in Playhouse Square's Slam U! program since its inception and this summer chaperoned the Cleveland slam team to the Brave New Voices national competition in Berkeley, California.
Kathy Lawrence has been involved with poetry club, groups and slams in schools, since the late 1990's. She is a school librarian at Cleveland Heights High School where she established, and is the advisor to, the poetry club. She says, "I do this not because I have any particular talent for poetry, but because the experience and camaraderie of our group, meets very individualized needs for a unique and eclectic group of students."
Lake Erie Ink: a writing space for youth, was founded in 2011 by Amy Rosenbluth and Cynthia Larsen, both veteran teachers and writers. The mission of Lake Erie Ink is to provide creative expression opportunities and academic support to youth in the greater Cleveland community. Lake Erie Ink offers after school, evening and weekend writing workshops that cover a range of topics, including, comic book personal narratives, poetry, play writing, short fiction and creative non fiction. Lake Erie Ink also provides in-school creative writing programming and teacher support to teachers and schools throughout Cleveland.

By Mike Fitzpatrick, NAMI Executive Director
NAMI joined with others this week on Tuesday, May 3, to celebrate National Children's Mental Health Awareness Day. This day is dedicated to all the young lives that have been impacted by mental, emotional or behavioral health challenges. It provides the perfect opportunity to come together to rally behind these youth and to advocate for a full array of effective services and supports that give hope to our youngest citizens.
Mental health issues impact large numbers of youth but fortunately, with early identification and intervention, they are treatable. We all play a role in ensuring this happens-whether by providing information, support, guidance or simply, hope.National Children's Mental Health Awareness Day is an important reminder of what we can do to improve the health and well-being of the next generation. This year, numerous events and activities were undertaken to raise awareness, including:
- A briefing on Capitol Hill that focused on the importance of early identification and intervention for children living with mental illness. The briefing also focused on two pieces of federal legislation that provide support to schools to better address the needs of students living with mental illness- theMental Health in Schools Act (HR 751), which would provide federal funding to increase and improve school-based mental health services and supports and the Achievement Through Prevention Act (S. 541), which would increase the implementation of school-wide positive behavioral interventions and supports to improve student academic achievement.
- NAMI state organizations and local affiliates around the country took advantage of the tools NAMI developed for National Children's Mental Health Awareness Day by securing proclamations from state and local officials to honor the day and by engaging in a variety of other local activities to help educate and inform the public about children's mental health.
- The National Institute of Mental Health joined in the celebration with a Research Panel Videocast and with a series of resources on their website related to children.
- The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration organized a touching evening event that opened with a youth art exhibit at the Shakespeare Theatre and continued with a tribute to youth who have experienced trauma in their childhood. The event focused on building resilience in young children dealing with trauma.
Although we honor Children's Mental Health Awareness Day the first week of May every year, the resources NAMI developed can be used any day of the year to educate and inform the public about children's mental health.
Research shows that 50 percent of mental illness begins by age 14 and 75 percent by age 24, so we now know that mental illness strikes early in life. The more we raise awareness about mental health, the more that we can eradicate stigma and link children living with mental illness with effective services and supports. The more that we can do this, the more we can change the course of young lives for the better.

At only 48, one of the most prolific voices of our time has been lost. Having paved the way for so many soulful pop divas to follow, Whitney Houston came to become a truly unforgettable figure in our culture.
It is heartening to hear that she was reported to be in good spirits in the days preceding her passing. And that's the Whitney we'll remember: radiant.
In between jamming to old tunes and videos, also consider taking a look at a set of Whitney's 'most memorable interviews' as per The Huffington Post.
Below you can view Jennifer Hudson's heartfelt tribute to Whitney at the 2012 Grammys.

Familiar faces in new places help Hammerheads' Steres
Published: Friday, June 21, 2013 at 6:57 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, June 21, 2013 at 6:57 p.m.
Wilmington Hammerheads defender Daniel Steres has played a team-high 1,060 minutes, which underscores his importance to the team heading into a key home soccer game Saturday night with the Charlotte Eagles.
With a victory, the Hammerheads pull within one point of the Eagles for the eighth and final USL Pro League playoff berth.
"This is a big stretch for us,'' Steres said. "We need to pick up some points or we are going to be too far out of the chase.''
The Hammerheads (4-8-1, 13 points) trail the Eagles (4-2-5, 17) but play three of the next four games at Legion Stadium, where Wilmington has a 4-2 record.
Reverse those two defeats, and the team has a 6-6 record and is in seventh place.
"We have to get to the .500 mark as soon as we can,'' coach David Irving said. "All these home games the next few weeks are big. It will tell the story of our season. I am stressing to the players the next four games are critical.''
Without Steres' contributions, the playoff deficit might be bigger.
His first professional goal, in the 40th minute, provided the margin of victory in a 2-1 triumph over Phoenix on June 1, and he scored the lone goal in last weekend's 1-0 win over the New York Red Bulls Reserves.
They are his only goals, but represent only a portion of the value and versatility he brings to the team.
"Daniel can play as a central defender and holding midfielder and he has done very well,'' Irving said. "He is a quality player, along with Mickey Daly.''
For two seasons, Steres and Daly also were teammates for the Ventura County (Calif.) Fusion. Steres and another Hammerheads defender, Jamel Wallace also were teammates at San Diego State.
Steres said being reunited with familiar faces made for a smoother transition to Wilmington.
"It is a big help,'' Steres said. "Mickey, Jamel and I play on the back line for the most part. It is good for our chemistry as far as dropping and stepping in knowing where the runners are and communicating out there.''
Steres' role is not much different from San Diego State and Ventura, where he alternated between central defender and holding midfielder.
He says he enjoys both positions and believes competition in college and the PDL prepared him well for USL Pro.
"We played the best competition on the west coast,'' he said. "I have gotten to play in a lot of big games, which has helped me advance in the professional ranks.''
He has started 12 of the Hammerheads 13 games, missing only the 1-1 tie at Richmond while serving a one-game suspension for a red card. He admitted it was tough sitting out at Richmond, but the respite helped his body recover from the early grind.
"I am enjoying playing here and I am encouraged,'' Steres said. "We are starting to get better rhythm as a team. Playing all those early games on the road was tough and it is harder to recover from them.
"Now being at home in these next four games, with the crowd behind us and practicing on our own field, we will be more relaxed for the important games the rest of the season.''

ZF-3240: Zend_Http_Client: Documentation blocks out of sync, some features not documented in manual
Today I took closer look at Zend_Http_Client. Here is what I found out:
*__constructor* docblock lists non-existant parameter *$headers* whilst it doesnt list *$config* parameter
* Contructor method. Will create a new HTTP client. Accepts the target
* URL and optionally and array of headers.
* @param Zend_Uri_Http|string $uri
* @param array $headers Optional request headers to set
public function __construct($uri = null, $config = null)
some methods are tagged with @throws and some are not. Mainly: * setConfig * setMethod * setHeaders * setCookieJar * setCookie * setFileUpload * setAuth * setAdapter * request * prepare_body * encodeAuthHeader
some methods are missing @return: * _setParameter * setAdapter
getHeader has
I believe this should be
not documented in manual $config key storeresponse. Default value is true. It allows for retrieval of Zend_Http_Reponse after calling request by getLastResponse. If set to false getLastReponse will return null instead.
The manual states "When set to false, some validation functions will be skipped." about strict $config key. The problem is what some means. It should mention that when true it performs validation against header names to see if they contain forbidden characters.
non BC changes to consider: setAdapter doesnt have return statement, it could return $this to aid fluent interface like other set methods do
added request, prepare_body, encodeAuthHeader and getHeader.
Fix for docbloks
Manual diff
Thanks for all those patches, we are working on them actually ;-) There are some more improvements to make the code fit the coding standards
Fixed at r9490
Updating for the 1.6.0 release.
