ZF-12137: CreditCard Validation / Ignore Checksum
I found myself needing to check the type of a credit card number returned from my bank. Unfortunately, the bank only returns a portion of the number, say, 552122..123 to my script. I thought of using Zend Validation as it checks the starting digits in its validation check, but realised it had issues because of the checksum check. I cut the ..123 out of the number and replaced it with the appropriate number of 0's to make that cards length.
I'm basically just proposing the ability to optionally exclude the checksum check to enable Zend_Validate_CreditCard to be used to sniff the credit cards type based on the starting digits. I realise this would create security issues if it was used to validate the number, but it would be true by default, and would add another purpose to this validator.
All it requires is a few lines:
... _construct ...
if(array_key_exists('checksum', $options)) {
$this->_validateChecksum = $options['checksum'];
... isValid...
if($this->_validateChecksum === true) {
if ((10 - $sum % 10) % 10 != $value[$length - 1]) {
$this->_error(self::CHECKSUM, $value);
return false;

Yes I think it's clear I don't care what Larry King thinks on anything. I'll take the opinions of my mother, the therapist, my aunt, the psychologist, and my uncle(who has more degrees than either of us).
Source? Autism is more important than you think.
I said "I think", as in: it is my opinion. And "more important" than what? More children in this country have bad vision than autism.
All parents think their child is important, or even more important than others, so Autistic Kid Parents are not much different than normal parents. They have to go through a lot, especially with low-functioning Autism.
As I am aware, but that does not make them better parents. Just as having a hard job does not make you a better worker, nor does chewing overcooked meat make you a better eater.
doctors can be truly sure it is Autism, usually psychiatrists.
I'm quite certain that anyone who disagreed with you you would call "unqualified", and you would be equally quick to call those who agreed with you "qualified", but that's just IMO.
Really, because usually Autistic children are either bullied, harassed, or made fun of because they are "weird" to other kids. I've seen this at many schools which hold both Autistic and Normal Kids. So, in fact, they don't Lord it over other people. Aspergers is a beautiful experience which only few can be in it, but that doesn't mean they/we are better than you or others.
Kids are bullied for being white, for being black, for being gay, for being smart, for being stupid, for being girls, for being boys, for wearing certain clothes, for watching certain shows, for eating certain food, or just because somebody has nothing better to do.
And my opinion of you thinking it's a "beautiful experience" can be summed up in:
Its not an obsession, it's a serious issue that many have addressed. This debate is over that issue. As Jae said we all have a little abnormality in us.
Which is irrelevent to my point. People are different, they always have been, they always will be. What makes you special is not that you were born with 3 legs, 40 fingers, or a mental condition. What makes you who you are is your accomplishments. The things you do with your life. A condition which was not of your making is not something to be proud of.

If there is going to be a misdiagnosis, it's far more likely that it's because the doctor was skipping doing tests in order to see more patients in a day, and thus missing critical signs of disease. There are 2 people in my entire career of working with hundreds of doctors who I would report to the state boards, and both were running patients through the mill and not doing tests they should have been doing. As a result, they didn't diagnose the diseases that were patently obvious to any 2nd year medical student if they'd just taken the time to look properly. I have read a story about cataracts being over-diagnosed by a surgeon in Chicago, so that the surgeon could get the revenue by doing the surgeries, but that guy ended up in jail after getting caught doing that a few years later.
Because certainly, no doctor ever misdiagnosed a kid with ADD because their parents wanted to put their kids on some pills. Yes, doctors certainly never do unethical things because they always get caught. I'm sorry, but your statement is just silly, just plain and simply it's silly. The idea that everyone who breaks a rule or skirts the line is going to get caught and even if they do, get seriously punished is silly.

Aspergers is not a special club. This is exactly my problem with kids today, you define yourself by what's wrong with you not by your accomplishments, and even when you accomplish things, it's "in spite of" or "because of" your problem. Come on!

The Meteorological-Supermarket Complex Is Playing You, Sheeple
Yes, go stock up for "Nemo."
In his farewell address, Dwight Eisenhower famously, and presciently, warned of the growing power of the military-industrial complex. What Eisenhower never realized is that an alliance between meteorologists and supermarkets would one day become just as pernicious an influence on American society.
Now, of course, meteorologists can't actually create extreme weather events. As we all know, hurricanes happen when God cries, and snowstorms happen when God has dandruff, and so on. But just as the military-industrial complex tends to oversell national security threats, the weather-based media can, and do, overhype these events in order to drum up TV ratings and page views for themselves, and sales for their friends in the supermarket industry.
To take just one example: Earlier this week, NBC's "storm team" reported that one of its models showed New York City receiving 38 inches of snow this weekend, which would top the previous record snowfall by nearly 50 percent.
It wasn't a lie, but this particular model was way out of step with what other models were showing, and airing such a forecast, particularly so far out from the actual storm, only served to alarm the public unnecessarily. But bad weather means better ratings. General news websites, including yours truly — we are part of the problem — also saw a nice traffic boost after picking up the model's unhelpful, fear-inducing prediction.
Other weather outlets have also done their part to scare the crap out of everybody. Anyone clicking over to Weather Channel's website yesterday was warned, in all caps, that YOU MUST PREPARE NOW.
You may have also heard that the current storm is known as "Nemo." Well, it's not, at least officially. The National Weather Service doesn't name winter storms. But last year the Weather Channel decided to start doing it on its own, and that's where Nemo comes from. As the Times reports today, the naming exercise is "widely viewed as a marketing ploy" — it does wonders for the website's SEO, for example — but even "some skeptics admit that the names help raise awareness about storms." And raising awareness only leads to more ratings, more clicks, and, of course, more panic-shopping.
The supermarkets aren't just the lucky benefactors of storm splurging. They, like the weather outlets, actively take part in hyping up the nasty weather.

Obediently, the masses flocked to their supermarkets, like this Trader Joe's, where people stood on a ridiculously long line just to get inside, where another ridiculously long line probably wrapped around the circumference of the store three or four times.
The line into Trader Joes. #blamenemo vine.co/v/bnFbmlUE2Ir— BuzzFeed (@BuzzFeed) February 8, 2013
Does everyone actually need this food? Of course not. It's just snow. It gets plowed and shoveled pretty quickly. Nobody is going to be trapped inside their homes until spring. If you have a day's worth of food in your apartment already, which most normal people do, you don't need to spend two hours picking up groceries at Trader Joe's. But when you're being told to PREPARE NOW for a potential 38-inch snowstorm with a name, you don't want to take any chances.
By all means, take whatever sensible precautions are necessary to stay safe and sane during the storm. Bring your pets inside. Grab some booze in lieu of going out Friday night. But don't freak out. Despite what the meteorological-supermarket complex would have you believe, you don't need to freak out. You need to relax and maybe build some snow penises.

Want trash receptacles on major boulevards? Want the lights on Linden and Baisley Boulevards to be in sync and stop backing up traffic? Should there be a speed bump by the Senior Center for pedestrians crossing? Should there be drainage for the flooding in the area?
Because the answer to these questions are what residents say need to be addressed in their District. They came out for the information session for the upcoming Participatory Budgeting process for District 27 on June 12. Participatory Budgeting (PB) is a voting process in which residents get to vote on how discretionary funds allocated to the Council member should be used. It was a full house of attendees that came out to hear how the process will be carried out.
Representatives from Councilman I. Daneek Miller's office went through the PB process from start to finish and took questions from those present, while the Council member looked on and took notes.
It began with a mock game of Jeopardy to get the audience warmed up and test their knowledge of budgeting, discretionary funds and the participatory process. The audience was dead on with responses to questions such as to how much money would be allocated; up to $1 million, who votes on how to spend the money; only residents and who determines the amount per District; the City Council Speaker.
Councilman Miller is one of 22 Council members bringing PB to their Districts. Recently, Council Member Donovan Richards brought PB to the Rockaway Peninsula portion of his District and will be following up with an additional PB for the mainland voters of Southeast Queens in his District.
This PB will cover capital project expenditures only. Capital projects are those that are $35,000 or more and have a useful life of five or more years. Buildings, vehicles, structures, roads and cameras would fall into that category. That means projects which focus on programs and services will be part of the voting for discretionary funds process. Capital structures which support such programs, however, can be a part of the voting process.
Representatives from the Councilman's office explained the goals of the PB process which includes building community, inspiring engagement, developing new leaders, expanding civic engagement and opening government. Open government is a timely issue as there were several negative reports surrounding the issue of discretionary funds during the previous speaker, Christine Quinn's, tenure. A representative of the current Speaker, Council Member Melissa Mark Viverto, was on hand briefly to check in on the session. "This is a process that is near and dear to the speakers heart," said Joey Pressley of his attendance
"There is nothing greater than civic involvement," said Councilman Miller.
As this is a new process, expectation for voter engagement is low, two thousand in a District of over 160,000 residents, but the Councilman is optimistic.
"We come out and we participate," he said referring to the high voter turnout that Southeast Queens area had in the last citywide election. "I went to the City Hall with the most votes…if we don't surpass five thousand, I would be disappointed."
The plan is to start early and for everyone to be engaged.
"Bring a child. Bring a friend. We need everybody to be involved," said Jessica Douglas from Councilman Miller's office.
The process begins with neighborhood assemblies and online participation where ideas for projects are generated. Delegates, assigned for the entire process, are then selected, sworn in and meet to review the submissions. Once the listing is pared down, project expos are created where residents can view and receive information about projects up for the vote. Then voting begins. Up to five projects for the $1 million can be awarded.
To ensure the process is inclusive and that all prospective projects are considered, there is a weighting matrix employed as part of the PB process to "evaluate the project based on need," said Christopher King from Community Voices Heard, the partner organization in the process. He explained that a proposed project to rehab a dilapidated building might have a higher weight than one which includes a new building. The Councilman's office also monitors the process to ensure it is an inclusive process.
Once the project winners have been announced, they will receive an award letter signifying the project will commence. There is a steering committee that acts as an overseer and advisor to make certain projects can be carried out.
The types of projects that can be considered are transportation, public health and safety, education, parks and recreation and arts and culture.
To learn more about the PB process or to get involved, contact Councilman Miller at 718-776-3700 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Emma Thompson calls it her "poodle" look—the unflattering hairstyle she wears throughout Saving Mr. Banks (opening December 20). In this new, very un-Disney-like Disney movie, the two-time Oscar winner plays a middle-aged P.L. Travers, the cranky author of Mary Poppins and several follow-up books about the umbrella-toting English nanny. For the role, which is stirring up Oscar buzz, Thompson had her locks cut short, dyed dark brown and permed into a tight cap of stiff curls.
"Beware the hair," she warned her friend Richard Curtis, the writer-director for whom she has starred in The Tall Guy, Love Actually and Pirate Radio, before meeting him for dinner during her Travers phase. "Emma's gag that night was that she actually thought it was the style for her," he recalls. "She wasn't going to change it. She said she hoped Greg [Wise, her actor husband] would come around to the way it looked."
Apparently he didn't. "I didn't get much sex, I tell you, in those two months," she says of her time shooting Banks, which costars Tom Hanks as Travers's employer and nemesis, Walt Disney, and (in flashbacks) Colin Farrell as her magnetic, alcoholic father.
On a recent fall afternoon, Thompson, 54, is sporting a far more winsome, streaky blonde bob when she swings open the front door of her house in an unpretentious north London neighborhood. Before answering the bell, the British star could be heard singing along to a recording of Stephen Sondheim's Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. In her kitchen, where she has just brewed a pot of fresh ginger tea, she turns off the music while explaining that she's preparing to play pie-baking Mrs. Lovett in five concert performances of Sweeney Todd with the New York Philharmonic at Lincoln Center in March. "I am terrified," she says. (She played her last major role in a musical in 1985, when she starred in a London stage revival of Me and My Girl.)
She is home alone this afternoon. Wise, 47, the dashing actor she met and fell for while they worked together in Sense and Sensibility (1995), is shooting a movie in Italy. Their daughter, Gaia, now 14, is staying late at school to rehearse for a production of West Side Story ("She's one of the Jets. She's singing and dancing and she's loving it, I'm afraid," reports Mum). Their son, Tindyebwa "Tindy" Agaba, in his twenties, a onetime child soldier in Rwanda whom she and Wise unofficially adopted 10 years ago, is in Cairo working with a refugee assistance program he helped found. (Long active in human rights work, Thompson says, "I see it as on the same level as cooking meals for the family. I don't understand how to be alive and not be engaged in other people's difficulties, even if they don't directly affect your life.") And her assistant, who was originally her daughter's nanny ("She's my nanny now," says Thompson), is working at Thompson's office just down the street.

An unused squad member for Denmark during their last two major tournament appearances, in 2004 and 2010, former Brøndby IF goalkeeper Stephan Andersen is expected to make the trip to Poland and Ukraine with Denmark for UEFA EURO 2012 having re-established his credentials in Ligue 1 with Évian Thonon Gaillard FC.
• A native of Copenhagen, he was on the books of Brøndby as a youth but made the first steps of his senior career in the Danish second division with Hvidovre IF.
• Joined top-flight Akademisk Boldklubb in August 2002 and made 62 Superligaen appearances for the Copenhagen outfit but left after their relegation in 2004 to join English Premier League team Charlton Athletic FC (alongside compatriot Dennis Rommedahl).
• Arrived in London as a Danish international, having made his debut as a half-time substitute in a March 2004 friendly against Spain in Gijon and travelled to Portugal as a member of the UEFA EURO 2004 squad.
• Made just 17 league appearances for Charlton in two and a half seasons, during which he was no longer considered for national team duty; returned home to join Brøndby in January 2007 and established himself as their No1 keeper, winning the Danish Cup at the end of his first full season (3-2 against Esbjerg fB in the final).
• Made 137 Superligaen outings and 20 in Europe for Brøndby before leaving for France in August 2011, his consistent form earning him an international recall and three 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifying starts, including both games against Portugal.

The Bush administration's blueprint for their attack against the US on September 11, 2001
In a 370-page Justice US Department Inspector General's report released this week was the revelation that agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation had formally opened a "War Crimes" file, documenting torture they had witnessed at the Guantánamo Bay US prison camp, before being ordered by the administration to stop writing their reports.
The actions of the Bush administration—the launching of wars of aggression, assassinations, the abduction and detention of civilians without trial and, most repugnant of all, torture—constitute war crimes under any legitimate interpretation of longstanding international statutes and treaties.
To have this assessment confirmed, however, by the IG of the Justice Department, the only senior official there not answerable directly to the White House, and by agents of the FBI, an agency not known for its sensitivity to questions of democratic rights, is an indication of the rampant character of these crimes as well as the crisis they have engendered within the US government and America's ruling elite as a whole.
The report makes it absolutely clear that torture was ordered and planned in detail at the highest levels of the government—including the White House, the National Security Council, the Pentagon and the Justice Department. Attempts to stop it on legal or pragmatic grounds by individuals within the government were systematically suppressed, and evidence of this criminal activity covered up.
There was no immediate reaction from the White House on these new revelations. Responses from other agencies directly implicated in the crimes at Guantánamo were indicative of the general atmosphere of impunity in which the torture detailed in the IG's report continues to this day.
"There's nothing new here," said Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman. A State Department spokesman, meanwhile, described the charges contained in the report as "pretty vague."
Pretty vague? One can't help but wonder what the spokesman would consider explicit. The report contains page after page of testimony by FBI agents on the sadistic and sickening practices carried out at Guantánamo.
In one section, the report states: "[An FBI Agent] recalled that, at some point during the interrogation, the military officer 'put water down' a seated detainee's throat. He said he guessed that the purpose of the water was to give the detainee the sensation that he was drowning, so that he would provide the information that the interrogator wanted. [The agent] stated that the detainee was gagging and spitting out water. He said that the detainee appeared to be uncomfortable, and assumed that he had trouble breathing."
Consider the account of the interrogation of Mohamedou Ould Slahi, a Mauritanian national who was arrested by his own government, turned over to US forces and brought to Guantánamo in 2002:
"He was left alone in a cold room known as 'the freezer,' where guards would prevent him from sleeping by putting ice or cold water on him…
"He was subjected to sleep deprivation for a period of 70 days by means of prolonged interrogations, strobe lights, threatening music, forced intake of water, and forced standing.
"He was deprived of clothing by a female interrogator;
"Two female interrogators touched him sexually and made sexual statements to him;
"Prior to and during the boat ride incident, he was severely beaten."
In addition, the document says, he was "led to believe he was going to be executed, and urinated on himself," and was told that his mother and family would be detained and harmed.
Hundreds of FBI agents witnessed torture
Similar episodes were described, according to the IG report, by literally hundreds of FBI agents, who witnessed CIA, military and private contractor interrogators carry out illegal acts of torture and abuse against detainees.
In addition, the report cites: several agents who reported instances of beatings, 30 agents who reported witnessing prolonged shackling of detainees in stress positions, 70 agents who reported detainees being subjected to sleep deprivation, 29 agents who had information on the use of extreme temperatures in order to "break the detainees' resolve to resist cooperating" and 50 agents reporting the use of extended isolation to "wear down a detainee's resistance."
In addition, four agents reported the kicking and beating to death of two detainees in Afghanistan who had been subjected to prolonged shackling in a standing position.
The episodes of torture detailed in this report are the tip of the iceberg. At least someone in the branch of the US government is taking action against the unlawful actions of the current administration and its top officials. The major media outlets have always protected these criminals perhaps the heads of the news agencies like CNN, Fox, NBC and the likes should also be indicted as they knew atrocities were being committed but willingly aided the criminals cover-up their crimes. They even went as far as participate in the treasonous attacks against the US on September 11, 2001 - no foreign country or its leaders ordered the attacks - the attacks were planned for and executed by the Bush administration using "Operation Northwoods" as the blueprint for their attack against their own country.

/// NFL Spot on Sunday Is for the Fans
Nearly half of American sports fans call pro or college football their favorite sport. For the second season in a row, the NFL will invite millions of fans to share stories of why they love the game, according to chief marketing officer Mark Waller. Waller, named the league's first CMO in 2009, gave Adweek a preview of this season's "Together We Make Football" campaign by the NFL and NBC that kicks off Sunday night. A new 30-second spot starring fans who won free trips to Super Bowl XLVIII last season will air during NBC's broadcast of the Hall of Fame game. Among them: Lee Krost, a 75-year-old QB still "lighting up" his flag football league; and Heidi Gilbert, who was inspired to pull herself out of depression after learning of Tom Brady's underdog journey from 6th round draft pick to Super Bowl MVP. Still in the wings are 30 new commercials/promos created by NFL Films that will run across NBC and NFL

The Rankings: UA finished the season ranked No. 2 in the ESPN/USA Today Coaches poll and No. 5 in the Associated Press poll. Arizona opened the year as the nations top-ranked team in the media and coaches polls. Incidentally, UA has been ranked in the AP top 25 for 109 consecutive weeks, the longest active streak in the nation. The Cats have been ranked in 236 consecutive AP polls released during the regular season.
Arizona Head Coach Lute Olson . . . finished his 18th season at Arizona and his 28th overall as a head coach with a career record of 639-225 (.740) and 447-133 (.771)... He recorded his 600th career win and his 400th victory at Arizona during the 2000 campaign and has the fourth most Pac-10 wins (250) in history, trailing UCLAs John Wooden (304, 1949-75), Oregon States Slats Gill (276, 1929-64) and Washingtons Hec Edmundson (266, 1921-47)... He has the second-best conference winning percentage in Pac-10 history (minimum three years), trailing only Wooden (.810/304-74) ... During his 18-year tenure at Arizona, the Wildcats have won one national championship (1997), played in the national championship game (2001), gone to four Final Fours (1988, 1994, 1997, 2001), won nine Pac-10 Conference titles and been to the NCAA Tournament for the past 17 years in a row, which is the second-longest streak in NCAA history (North Carolina, 27)... He also led Iowa to the 1980 Final Four... Olson has been named the Pac-10 Coach of the Year six times (1986, 88, 89, 93, 94, 98), the Big 10 Coach of the Year twice (1979 & 81) and directed the UA program to the nations best winning percentage over the past 13 years... In his collegiate career, he has produced 35 NBA Draft picks, including 20 at Arizona 15 alone since 1990 ... He has led Arizona to 14 consecutive 20-win seasons and has 23 overall in his career, making him one of only seven head coaches in NCAA history to record 23 or more 20-win seasons... Under Olson, the Cats are 271-26 (.912) in McKale Center and have won 199 of its last 210 home games.
Another Successful Season: Arizona amassed 28 wins in 2000-01, topping the 20-win plateau for the 14th consecutive season and the 23rd in school history. It was also the 23rd 20-win season for head coach Lute Olson. Additionally, Arizona has now won 25 or more games for the fourth time in the last five years and the 10th time under Olson.
Arizona in the National Rankings: The Wildcats finished the 2000-01 campaign ranked in a number of national statistical categories. Arizona finished fourth in scoring margin (+15.0), 13th in scoring offense (81.3), 14th in rebound margin (+6.6), 15th in field goal percentage defense (.397), 17th in free throw percentage, 18th in winning percentage (.778) and 28th in field goal percentage (.476). Individually, two players cracked the national statistical rankings: Michael Wright finished 12th in field goal percentage (.594), and Loren Woods finished 15th in blocked shots (2.9).
Final Four Facts: 2001 marked Arizonas fourth Final Four appearance in school history and the second in the last five years. The Wildcats have a 3-3 record in four appearances, including the 1997 National Championship. All told, the Cats have two West, one Southeast, and one Midwest Regional championship. The program advanced to the Final Four twice as a No. 2 seed (1994, 2001), once as a No. 1 (1988) and once as a No. 4 (1997).
All-Tournament: Arizona teammates Loren Woods and Richard Jefferson were both named to the NCAA all-Final Four team in Minneapolis. Woods scored 33 points, grabbed 19 rebounds and blocked seven shots in the two games, while Jefferson tallied 36 points, 16 boards and five assists. At the Midwest Regional, Gilbert Arenas earned Most Outstanding Player honors and was joined on the all-tournament team by Woods, Jefferson and Jason Gardner.
Swat Team: Loren Woods set an NCAA Championship game record with four blocked shots vs. Duke. Woods also set an NCAA Tournament record with 24 blocks in six games. Woods efforts helped the Wildcats register 42 blocks in its six games, the second-highest figure in an NCAA Tournament (48, Kentucky 1998).
All-America: Arizona forward Michael Wright was named a third-team All-American in voting released March 13 by the Associated Press. Wright, a 6-foot-7, 238-pound junior from Chicago, Ill., earned the honor after averaging 16.4 points and 8.2 rebounds per game while shooting .591 from the field in the regular season. Three other Wildcats, Gilbert Arenas, Jason Gardner and Loren Woods, earned honorable mention accolades from the AP.
All-Conference: Michael Wright and Gilbert Arenas also earned all-Pacific-10 Conference honors in voting done by the leagues coaches. For Wright, it was the second straight season in which hes earned all-conference accolades and the first for Arenas. Arenas was an all-freshman pick a year ago.
Father-Son Bonding: Arizona sophomore Luke Walton joined his father, Bill (UCLA 1972-74), as a Final Four participant and became part of a very select group in college basketball history. The Waltons are just the third father-son Final Four combination, joining Marques (UCLA 1974-76) and Kris (UCLA 1995) Johnson and Henry (UCLA 1970-72) and Mike Bibby (Arizona 1997).
On the Sidelines: Just how important is Lute Olsons presence on the sidelines to this team? Since Olson returned to the squad on Jan. 15, UA has been one of the nations hottest teams winning 18 of 21 games. Incidentally, Arizona won the last two games under Rosboroughs direction, making it 20 wins in the last 23 starts.
Drawing a Crowd: The University of Arizona is used to playing to full houses in McKale Center, but this season the draw has been almost as good on the road. In addition to the 15 sellouts at home, the Wildcats have played in front of full houses in 11 of 15 road or neutral-site games as well. In 2000-01, Arizona played in front of 143,615 spectators at those unfriendly sites, which is 95.2 percent of capacity. Ironically, none of the six NCAA Tournament games were official sellouts and played to just 85.9 percent of capacity.
Select Company: The trio of Michael Wright (1,491 points), Loren Woods (1,188) and Gilbert Arenas (1,105) each totaled 1,000 career points. It is the third time in school history that Arizona had at least three active 1,000-point scorers on the same roster. Sean Elliott, Steve Kerr, Craig McMillan and Anthony Cook first accomplished the feat in 1988, while Miles Simon, Mike Bibby and Michael Dickerson did it in 1998.
On Target: Arizona finished the season with a .476 field goal percentage, a figure that ranked 28th nationally. The Cats shot 50 percent or better from the floor 14 times in 2000-01 and were undefeated when accomplishing the feat.
Off Target: The Arizona defense also limited the opposition to .397 FG shooting in 36 games. UA held the opposition to less than 40 percent shooting 19 times this season, including four times in six postseason games. That figure has helped the Wildcats hold opponents to an average of 66.3 points per game. UA held opponents to less than 60 points 12 times this season.
Balanced Attack: Arizona placed at least four players in double figures in five of the six NCAA Tournament games. The balance didnt hurt the Wildcats productivity, as the team averaged 79.8 points per game in the postseason and was the only club to score 100 points in this years NCAA Tournament.
Record-Setting Effort: The Wildcats set NCAA Tournament records with its 43 free throws and 56 free throws attempted in the regional final win over Illinois. The 43 free throws broke the previous record of 41, which was set twice, last by Navy vs. Syracuse in an East Regional second round game in 1986. The 56 attempts broke the previous mark of 55 set by UTEP vs. Tulsa in a West Regional first round game in 1985. Both marks are UA school and NCAA Tournament records as well.
Reaching 1,000: Gilbert Arenas finished his sophomore season with 1,105 career points. He became just the sixth player in school history to score 1,000 career points by the end of his sophomore season. Here are the others: 1. Coniel Popcorn Norman (1972-74) 1,194; 2. Bob Elliott (1973-75) 1,106; 3. Sean Elliott (1985-87) 1,077; 4. Mike Bibby (1996-98) 1,061; 5. Chris Mills* (1988-91) 1,004. *Mills scored 459 points as a freshman at Kentucky in 1988-89 before transferring to Arizona.
Scoring 80: Perhaps no statistic is more telling of Wildcat success than the 80-point mark. This season, Arizona was 17-0 when scoring 80 points and 11-8 when it did not. Over the last three seasons, UA is 45-3 (.938) when scoring at least 80 points. Arizona is 20-4 (.833) in the NCAA Tournament when scoring 80 points since 1985.
In the Record Books: Michael Wright finished his career in 11th place on UA's career scoring list with 1,491 points. He also ranks fourth in free throws (436), fifth in free throws attempted (582), fifth in rebounds (837), and tied for fifth in field goal percentage (.575).
Top 10: By leading the Wildcats to the 2001 Final Four, Lute Olson is now tied for sixth place in NCAA Tournament history with five Final Four appearances. He is also one of just 11 coaches to have taken two different teams to the Final Four.
Finding the Range: How important is it for UA to outshoot its opponent? On the year, Arizona was 24-1 when accomplishing the feat. The Cats outshot 20 opponents in its last 25 games.
Vs. The Conferences: In addition to its 15-3 mark in Pac-10 play, Arizona compiled a 3-2 mark vs. the Big Ten, 2-1 vs. the Southeastern, 2-0 vs. the Midwestern Collegiate and West Coast Conferences, 1-0 vs. the Big 12, Atlantic 10 and Ohio Valley Conferences, and 0-1 vs. the Atlantic Coast and Big East. UA was also 1-0 against non-Division I foes (Chaminade).
The Big House: In NCAA Tournament play, Arizona is 7-2 all-time in domed stadiums. The Cats have a pair of wins at the Kingdome in Seattle (1988 West Regional), two at the RCA Dome in Indianapolis (1997 Final Four) and two at the Alamodome (2001 Midwest Regional). In addition to a 1-1 record at the HHH Metrodome (2001 Final Four), the only other defeat came in the 1991 West Regional Semifinal, an 81-77 loss to Seton Hall at the Kingdome in Seattle.
Making Them Count: Jason Gardner displayed a knack for hitting the key trey this year. In addition to his three treys vs. Michigan State and the two vs. Illinois to propel the Cats to the Final Four, Gardner also knocked down big shots vs. Dayton, Texas and at California to name a few. He led the team in three-point field goals with 76.
On the Defensive: Credit Richard Jefferson with another fine job of defense against Michigan States Jason Richardson, a second-team All-American. Jefferson held him to six points on 2-of-11 shooting. In the Regional Final win, Jefferson drew the primary assignment on Illinois Frank Williams, the Big Ten Player of the Year, and limited him to nine points on 3-of-15 shooting. Efforts like that were nothing new to Jefferson, who has shut down some of the Pac-10s best scorers like Casey Jacobsen (Stanford), David Bluthenthal (USC) and Jason Kapono (UCLA).
Double-Doubles: Five UA players collected 16 double-doubles this season. Leading the way was Michael Wright, who tallied nine in 2000-01. In Wrights 99 game career, he totaled 34 double-doubles.
Tournament Success: The senior trio of John Ash, Eugene Edgerson and Justin Wessel has quite a bit of NCAA tourney success under its collective belt. The last link to UAs 1997 National Championship team, the group went a combined 15-4 in NCAA Tournament play.
Against the Best: UA finished the season 8-5 against ranked teams. The Wildcats won five of the last six meetings against ranked opponents. Over the last two seasons, UA is 15-6 against ranked opponents.
Top Notch: When facing No. 1 seeds in the NCAA Tournament, Arizona has a 6-3 record. Prior to its loss to Duke, UA had won its last five games against No. 1 seeds dating back to 1997.
Olson Honors: UA head coach Lute Olson was given the John R. Wooden Award Legends of Coaching award. The award was adopted by the Wooden Award Committee in 1999 and recognizes the lifetime achievement of coaches who exemplify Coach Woodens high standards of coaching success and personal achievement. Olson was honored at the 25th annual John R. Wooden Awards program.
Players of the Week: No other Pac-10 team registered as many Player-of-the-Week honors as Arizona. All told, Wildcat players earned the honor five times in 2000-01, or 33 percent of the time. Gilbert Arenas (Jan. 22/Feb. 19), Michael Wright (Nov. 27), Luke Walton (Dec. 4) and Loren Woods (March 12) each were recognized.
Triple-Doubles: On Jan. 13, Loren Woods notched the second triple-double (13 pts./10reb./10blk.) of his career. It was also the fifth in Arizona history and the 13th in league history. Woods is the first UA player to record two triple-doubles and just the second in Pac-10 history to accomplish the feat (Jason Kidd).
In Pac-10 Play: UA collected 15 conference wins for the third time in the last four years. Since 1990, no Pacific-10 Conference team has as many victories as Arizonas 155, or as high as UAs .782 league winning percentage.
NBA Draft Note: Arizona has the potential to lose four underclassmen to the NBA Draft (Richard Jefferson, Michael Wright, Gilbert Arenas and Jason Gardner). Should that happen, it would be the most underclassmen lost to the draft by a single school in any given year. The current high is three by Duke in 1999 (Elton Brand, Corey Maggette, William Avery). Duke actually had four players drafted in 1999, when factoring in then-senior Trajan Langdon. This year Arizona has the potential to have all five starters drafted, when counting senior Loren Woods. That would be a first. Since the NBA Draft was shortened to three rounds in 1988, no team has had five starters drafted in the same year.
Early Signees: Coach Olson and his staff signed five players to National Letters-of-Intent during the November early signing period: Wil Bynum (5-10, 170, G, Chicago, Ill./Crane Tech Prep), Channing Frye (6-10, 230, C, Phoenix, Ariz./St. Marys H.S.), Isaiah Fox (6-9, 255, C, Santa Monica, Calif./Crossroads H.S.), Dennis Latimore (6-8, 230, F, Halsted, Kan./Halsted H.S.) and Salim Stoudamire (6-2, 175, G, Lake Oswego, Ore./Lake Oswego H.S.). It was ranked as the ninth-best recruiting class in the nation by Clark Francis Hoop Scoop magazine.
Farewell, Bobbi: A special memorial fund has been established in Bobbi Olson's name at the Arizona Cancer Center, where she had undergone treatment since her illness was diagnosed in June 1998. Contributions can be made payable to the Arizona Cancer Center/UAF and mailed to Arizona Cancer Center Development, P.O. Box 245013, Tucson, AZ 85724-5013.

The tree is finally up -looking a little worse for the wear and the stockings are hung by the chimney with care. Now your company is chomping at the bit for something to do around the holidays. Solve that little dilemma and bring them out to the Black Goose Inn to celebrate the festive season in this beautifully decorated traditional heritage home. The real log burning fireplaces are welcoming and ever so toasty -no matter how nasty the weather is outside. A glass of wine or a pint of beer enjoyed by any one of the roaring fireplaces is just downright festive. Turn off that Shaw Log channel and experience the real thing at the Black Goose Inn. I can almost hear the crackling of the flames now and is there a better place to warm your toes than a roaring fireplace.
Christmas time is, of course, the perfect time to have an absolutely delicious Snowball and I do mean the drinkable kind! The colour is gorgeous and what a delectable way to toast to the good health of family and friends. If you have a large group -they are all welcome -just give a call to make a reservation so all can be seated comfortably. You might want a table by the tinsel be-decked tree, by the roaring fireplaces, in the traditional library, by the window enjoying the stunning ocean views or in the cozy and oh so friendly tap room -nice and close to the bar.
With the beach so close, I suggest you enjoy a long beach walk with family and friends to build up your appetite and then pop into the Black Goose for a delicious homemade lunch or dinner. Steaming meat pies, tasty cold plates, hearty soups, grilled steaks -there are lots of menu choices and an even larger selection of your favourite beers and ales on tap. One of the menu highlights for the festive season is a traditional English Christmas Pudding -thoroughly soused it is -and then set aflame at your table! Now that is sure to get Uncle Albert`s attention and as for Baby Frank -he`ll love it too! Another suggestion to work in some exercise and work off some of that Christmas turkey or butter tarts is to take the bicycle path from Englishman Falls and make the Goose a delicious lunch destination. The Black Goose is closed for Christmas Day and Boxing Day -so there is lots of time to pop out, relax and enjoy the traditional Christmas decorations along with your favourite meal and holiday ale.

50 and Beyond
50 and Beyond
Dear Linux Magazine Reader,
This month we
celebrate the 50th issue of Linux Magazine. That makes this month a sort of golden anniversary or "jubilee," as we like to call it. If you're quick with math, you have probably already determined that 50 issues is four years and two months of Linux Magazine. If you do not work in publishing, you may be wondering if four years is really enough for a party. Actually, emerging magazines compete fiercely in the jungle of reader expectations. Many startup magazines collapse within the first year due to the pressures of circulation quotas, budgets, and deadlines. Four years really is a long time for a new magazine. We at Linux Magazine are proud of the steady growth that has led to tens of thousands of readers in over a hundred countries. And we are proud to be part of a very interesting publishing experiment.

What is child-centred education? Where do its core ideas stem from? What do these ideas mean for children and teachers today? Child-centred education is central to contemporary debates about what constitutes effective teaching and learning. Frequently pitched against formal approaches to education, it is often understood to mean a laissez-faire approach to teaching and learning with little substance and little intervention on the part of adults. Others argue that child-centred education has been superseded by a subject-driven and target led approach, one in which the child#xE2;#xAC;"s interests and ideas have been marginalised and where teachers have become mere technicians, trained to deliver a highly prescriptive curriculum content. Child-Centred Education aims to unravel the complexities and nuances surrounding these polarised positions. Through an analysis of groundbreaking research, policy initiatives and illustrated with concrete examples of practice, it presents an accessible introduction to child-centred education. Key issues explored include: How far a child-centred approach is realistic in the modern classroom The role of play in learning and children#xE2;#xAC;"s live more widely The impact of new technologies and social networking Creativity and personalisation Child-centred approaches for the highly diverse classroom International research into alternative pedagogies for the primary school The relationship between the child, school and politics Offering a detailed, engaging exploration of both historical and contemporary perspectives, Child-Centred Education is for all student and practising primary teachers, education studies students and all those undertaking related master levels courses.

Soft yet intense massager
Reviewed: 20 March 2014 by animal69, a Straight Going Steady Female
This massager comes with its own silk bag for protection.
My partner uses this as part of foreplay. It delivers relatively deep, yet effective stimulating vibrations with a steady pulse, as well as bursts that alternate in intensity.
It is very easy to hold and change the settings for both parties, and it is surprisingly powerful for a small vibrator!
- Pros
- Small, easy to handle and stimulating.
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- A great vibrator.

Good massager
Reviewed: 10 March 2014 by Natasha26, a Straight Married Female
I brought this to use solely as a back massager for my husband he is a mechanic so gets quite ''stiff'' in places (pardon the pun) so I saw this and thought that would make my life easier.
We were both fairly impressed with the look of the product. It's the sort of thing that can be left on the side and not have awkward questions asked. It's sleek and stylish looking, easy 4 button controls and only runs on 2 AAA batteries.
The 1st time we used it we had no troubles and it worked very well as a shoulder and neck massager with the curved and rounded shape that fits smoothly around the curved parts of your body. Once we used it we could very quickly think of a few ideas on how else it should be used. ;-)
So as a product from Durex we are very happy with it and it will be used regularly and enjoyed every time.
- Pros
- Easy to use and it's multifunctional.
- Cons
- It's a bit noisy and will probably eat batteries.
- Bottom line
- Very good product, another one from Durex, would recommend.

Not bad
Reviewed: 15 November 2013 by lewis255, a Straight Going Steady Male
Upon first opening the box containing my toy, I was very impressed by the attractive packaging, being true to its relatively expensive price. The set of instructions included repeatedly describe this item as an 'erotic massager', and makse very little mention about its internal use.
The item has a very clean attractive design, with the sides being a sexy deep purple, and the front and back a brilliant shiny white. There are 4 buttons on the device, two that act as a speed adjuster, and the other two act as a power button and a pulse pattern adjuster.
The device has very pleasant vibrations, and a pattern and speed that will suit anyone. It glides over the skin easily, and as advertised works great as a body massager, all over the body. There are apparently 10 modes, 5 of which actives the vibration on both ends of the vibrator and the other 5 that only activate one side, but in truth, I couldn't tell the difference between the two.
The massager is on the loud side, and at times can almost sound rattly, so a discreet massager/vibrator this is certainly not!
All things said, my partner and I have had lots of fun with this, and it will still form a regular part of our fun.
- Pros
- Strong vibrations, attractive packaging.
- Cons
- Loud, slightly rattly.
- Bottom line
- A good 2 in 1, with slightly more emphasis on the body massager.

One of the biggest thrills was going on my first elephant safari at the Elephant Hills Resort, Khao Sok, Thailand. When I got close to the elephants, they seemed so gentle, not even moving if I touched them. Of course the Mahout (elephant trainer) was near. He demonstrated several ways to climb up the elephant. We did it the easy way from an elevated stand on stilts.
There is a great 360 degree view from the top of the elephant. Just a little bouncy sitting up there, I was occupied with taking pictures and watching the beauty of nature. We made our way through untouched Khao Sok, the largest area of rainforest jungle in Southern Thailand. Sometimes the elephants had to push through overgrown brush and trees.
In deeper areas of the park, you would see Bengal Tigers, elephants, monkeys, and other wildlife. The elephants stopped several times to eat. This is the best way to really experience Thailand, to go beyond the cities into the jungle.
During the safari, the Mahout sits on the elephant's head with his feet behind each ear. He directs and controls the elephant by pressing his right foot to turn right and so on. There are over 30 different commands. The Mahouts inherit their positions generation after generation and begin learning as children around 10 years of age.
The elephants were born and raised with these people. This is part of their culture. There is no Mahout class. The Asian elephant is the largest land animal in this part of the world. The Asian elephant does not sweat, but keeps cool by flapping its ears. They weigh up to six tons.
They have the saying at the Elephant Hills Resort, "Re-awaken your soul, and get back to nature." Choose which tours you want or they can prepare a custom tour. Elephant Hills is offering specials: Elephant Hills all-inclusive Resort is Thailand's first luxury tented jungle camp, Khao Sok, Thailand.

In this paper, we report on our experience with the application of validated models to assess performance, reliability, and adaptability of a complex mission critical system that is being developed to dynamically monitor and control the position of an oil-drilling platform. We present real-time modeling results that show that all tasks are schedulable. We performed stochastic analysis of the distribution of tasks execution time as a function of the number of system interfaces. We report on the variability of task execution times for the expected system configurations. In addition, we have executed a system library for an important task inside the performance model simulator. We report on the measured algorithm convergence as a function of the number of vessel thrusters. We have also studied the system architecture adaptability by comparing the documented system architecture and the implemented source code. We report on the adaptability findings and the recommendations we were able to provide to the system's architect. Finally, we have developed models of hardware and software reliability. We report on hardware reliability results based on the evaluation of the system architecture. As a topic for future work, we report on an approach that we recommend be applied to evaluate the system under study software reliability.

JWC TO MARY RUSSELL ; 26 June 1859; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18590626-JWC-MR-01; CL 35: 125-126
Sunny Bank—Haddington Sunday [26 June 1859]
My dearest Mary. You are not to fancy me indifferent to your kindness, writing so often when ill yourself. Such sympathy is not thrown away on me; tho' my long silence doesn't look like it. The fact is, I put off writing from day to day, that I might be able to tell you a conclusion was arrived at about our leaving home—to tell you the where and the when of our going. And tho' I have seen Mr C in many crisises of doubting and vacillation I never saw him at such a pitch of it as on this last occasion!— The thing written and done one day was rewritten and undone the next; till I began to despair of our ever making more progress than Lots wife!1 At last in a blessed moment of desperation—that lodging, which I think I told you of, in a farm house at Aberdour (Fife) was decided on—and immediately we must carry out the decision— I was in the midst of packing and preparing for the deficits of a lodging and for the possibilities of thieves at home when your last dear letter reached me—and I tried sincerely to find a leisure half hour to write to you before starting—but what with the dreadful quantity to be done and the next to no strength to do it with— I had to rest in the intention. Last Wednesday morning I saw my husband, and maid, and horse, and dog, fairly off at eight in the morning to sail to their destination. Myself set out at eight in the evening to travel all night!—with a slight hope of reaching Sunny Bank next morning—alive!
It was my Doctors2 opinion as well as my own, that doing the whole journey at one fell rush, in the dark, would be less hurtful to me than attempting to sleep at Inns on the road and getting myself agitated by changes. I am sure it was, and that the best was made of a bad job that could be made! I arrived here on Thursday3 morning aching all over with fatigue, as I never ached before in all my life! but my mind quite calm—and that is the chief thing I have to attend to— Today is Sunday and I have done nothing since I arrived but rest!— My dear old ladies4 do every thing on earth that is possible, to strengthen and sooth me—and I am beginning to contemplate the remainder of the journey with some assurance of being able to accomplish it—On Tuesday I proceed to Fife if all go well. My family are already safely established in the farm house and write to me satisfactory accounts of it.
You shall hear about it from myself ere long I had a letter from Mrs Pringle inviting us in a self-devoted way to come and recruit at Lann Hall. Just as if I had not positively told her we were going to some Seaside! No thank you, I don't want to be used up for Mrs Pringles purposes of vain glorious beneficence any further5— If I can get a glimpse of You and the Doctor I will have it— But for Lann Hall, it dont suit me.
Goodby darling—I can't get staying up stairs long a time— They send to ask if I am ill!
Your ever affectionate
Jane Carlyle
Do tell me soon if you are better poor Dear

In tunneling, or port forwarding, a local port is connected to a port on a remote host or vice versa. So connections to the port on one machine are really connections to a port on the other machine.
The ssh(1) options -f (go to background), -N (do not execute a remote program) and -T (disable pseudo-tty allocation) can be useful for connections that are used only for creation of tunnels.
In regular port forwarding, connections to a local port are forwarded to a port on a remote machine. This is a way of securing an insecure protocol or of making a remote service appear as local. Here we forwarded VNC in two steps. First make the tunnel:
$ ssh -L 5901:localhost:5901 -l fred desktop.example.org
Then on the local machine, connections to the forwarded port will really be connecting to the remote machine.
Multiple tunnels can be specified at the same time. The tunnels can be of any kind, not just regular forwarding. See the next section below for reverse tunnels. For dynamic forwarding see the section Proxies and Jump Hosts.
$ ssh -L 5901:localhost:5901 \ -L 5432:localhost:5432 \ -l fred desktop.example.org
If a connection is only used to create a tunnel, then it can be told not to execute any remote programs (-N), making it a non-interactive session, and to drop to the background (-f).
$ ssh -fN -L 3128:localhost:3128 -l fred server.example.org
Note that -N will work even if the authorized_keys forces a program using the command= option. So a connection using -N will stay open instead of running a program and then exiting.
Tunneling via an intermediate host[edit]
Tunneling can go via one intermediate host to reach a second host, the latter does not need to be on a publicly accessible network. However, the target port on the second remote machine does have to be accessible on the same network as the first. Here, 192.168.0.101 and bastion.example.org must be on the same network and, in addition, bastion.example.org has to be directly accessible to the client machine running ssh(1). So, port 80 on 192.168.0.101 has to be available to the machine bastion.example.org.
$ ssh -fN -L 1880:192.168.0.101:80 -l fred bastion.example.org
Thus, to connect to port 80 on 192.168.2.101 via the host bastion.example.org, once the tunnel is made, connect to port 1880 on localhost. This way works for one or two hosts. It is also possible to chain multiple hosts, using a different method.
For more about passing through intermediate computers, see the Cookbook section on Proxies and Jump Hosts.
Reverse Tunneling[edit]
A reverse tunnel goes the opposite direction of a regular tunnel. In a reverse tunnel, a port on the remote host is forwarded to the local host. Once the connection is made, it works the same as a regular tunnel. Connections to the destination port on the local host connect to the remote host's port.
On the machine that will become the remote machine, open a reverse tunnel.
$ ssh -fNT -R 2022:localhost:22 -l fred server.example.org
Then on the local machine, connecting to the forwarded port as the local host, will open the connection to the machine hosting the reverse tunnel.
$ ssh -p 2022 -l fred localhost
A common use-case for reverse tunneling is when you have to access a machine that is behind a firewall that blocks incoming ssh but without changing the firewall settings, and you have direct access to a second machine outside the firewall. It is easy to make a reverse tunnel from the machine behind the firewall to the second machine. Then to conect to the first machine from outside, connect to the forwarded port on the second machine. The second machine on the outside acts as a relay server to forward connections to the machine on the inside.
Adding or Removing Tunnels within an Established Connection[edit]
It is possible to add or remove tunnels, reverse tunnels, and SOCKS proxies to or from an existing connection using an escape sequence. The default escape character is the tilde (~) and the full range of options is described in the manual page for ssh(1). Escape sequences only work if they are the first characters entered on a line and if followed by a return. When adding or removing a tunnel to or from an existing connection, ~C, the command line is used.
To add a tunnel in an active SSH session, use the escape sequence to open a command line in SSH and then enter the parameters for the tunnel:
~C L 2022:localhost:22
To remove a tunnel from an active SSH session is almost the same. Instead of -L, -R, or -D we have -KL, -KR, and -KD plus the port number. Use the escape sequence to open a command line in SSH and then enter the parameters for removing the tunnel.
Adding or Removing Tunnels within a Multiplexed Connection[edit]
There is an additional option for forwarding when multiplexing. More than one SSH connection can be multiplexed over a single TCP connection. Control commands can be passed to the master process to add or drop port forwarding to the master process.
First a master connection is made and a socket path assigned.
$ ssh -S '/home/fred/.ssh/%h:%p' -M server.example.org
Then using the socket path, it is possible to add port forwarding.
$ ssh -O forward -L 2022:localhost:22 -S '/home/fred/.ssh/%h:%p' firstname.lastname@example.com
Since OpenSSH 6.0 it is possible to cancel specific port forwarding using a control command.
$ ssh -S "/home/fred/.ssh/%h:%p" -O cancel -L 2022:localhost:22 email@example.com
For more about multiplexing, see the Cookbook section on Multiplexing.

LIONS CLUB District 27-C2 Gov. Roger Weber, of the Sayner-Star Lake Lions Club, introduces Smokey the Bear at the Lions Lunch Around the World Relay event Monday at the Mercer, Wis., school.
MERCER, Wis. - The Mercer Lions Club celebrated the Lions Lunch Around the World Relay with a Mexican flair Friday, April 4, at the Mercer School cafeteria.
The 24-hour event is celebrated by Lions Clubs in each time zone around the world, starting in New Zealand at noon local time that day. It aims to bring families and friends of Lions and Lioness members together to share a meal and celebrate the value and rewards of service to communities and the world, a news release said.
The Mercer Lions celebrated at the same time as Lions from Mexico City, inspiring the theme and a menu including tacos, Mexican rice, pineapple and chocolate chili cupcakes.
Mercer residents, school staff and students attended the event, which included a food drive for the Mercer Area Food Pantry. "Attendees and the Mercer students donated many different items," school board treasurer Deanna Pierpont said.
An information session discussed the benefits of the clubs, which are the world's largest service organizations. Attendees were invited to join the Lion and Lioness clubs. Lion Marla Suckow discussed the possibility of sponsoring an Alpha Leo Club, a service organization for students ages 12-18.
The Mercer Student Council and co-advisor Lori Boltz decorated the cafeteria with supplies offered by Lions Dave and Louise Minisan. Life Skills students baked and decorated the cupcakes.

Blinded by the White : Total Body Whitening Treatment Powered by Nature is HERE
Anyone who owns a light coloured horse knows it's next to impossible to get and keep them clean. We've took this challenge seriously and came up with a solution that was tested, approved and named by our customers.
You've been asking for it so here it is. A whitener powered by nature that removes manure, urine and grass stains without chemicals, bleach or peroxide. Our customers tested it, and the results literally took our breath away.
Blinded by the White Total Body Whitening Treatment uses the natural lightening power of lemon juice and lemon peel oil. Combined with glycerine it whitens, brightens and conditions the coat, mane and tail. Like other EcoLicious products, it does double duty. It's really important for us to consider not only superior performance, but how to add value to our products. For example, our new whitener product also conditions the hair, and its lemon properties not only remove the ugliest of stains but also provide uplifting lemon aromatherapy that doesn't attract insects.
The product is designed to work with EcoLicious Equestrian's popular Squeaky Green & Clean Deep Cleansing and Conditioning Shampoo and Silky Rinse Out Moisturizing Conditioner for Coat, Mane &Tail.
This is what Sherri,our tester, said about this product : "It was easy to use and in the time I have owned my horse, I have never seen his tail so white. I was astounded. In fact, I honestly didn't know how light it could be. I love that it is all-natural. It can't hurt anything and I don't end up with chemical stains on my clothes either.

If this sounds like you, our new product will get your horse clean and take your breath away (in a nice way). It's easy and quick to use, has no harsh chemicals to burn your skin, make you choke, stain your clothes or your grass, and most importantly, it delivers near un-earthly results!

A Chinese man was ticketed by police for jaywalking in New York City but what happened next is pretty strange. According to a report, the man was stopped by police along with several other people -- his ID was requested and when he asked for his ID back, he spoke in Chinese and made a gesture with his hands -- and that set police off.
The man claims that he was mistreated, pushed against a wall and to the ground. The 82-year-old man hit his head and lost consciousness. He also sustained injuries to his elbow, back, ribs, and face. He is now suing the state for $5 million.
To make matters even more curious, the man says that he didn't do anything wrong. He says that he was very humiliated and he felt targeted. It's unclear what gestures this man made to cause police to spring into action, but with a hefty lawsuit being filed, this case is very serious. Check out the video above for more.
