Legacy Program
The University of Miami Legacy Program was designed to recognize the commitment of its alumni to their alma mater who support and encourage their children or grandchildren to consider UM for college. The University of Miami Alumni Association works closely with campus partners to ensure a successful transition to college life at UM for our legacy families.
Build your Hurricane Heritage
Make a UM education part of your family tradition
The University of Miami continues its rise in prominence among academic research institutions around the world largely due to the support and contributions of our alumni. As admission to UM becomes increasingly more selective, it is important that we pay special attention to our relationship with alumni and take exceptional care in evaluating legacy applications.
Contact Gabriela McLeod, Assistant Director of Admissions for more information:
Legacy Welcome Reception
Incoming legacy families were invited to a special reception hosted by the UM Alumni Association as an official welcome to campus on Tuesday, August 16, 2016. The event included the opportunity to meet other incoming legacy families, hear from UM administrators, and meet UM Alumni Association staff. Guests enjoyed refreshments and carnival style food and games as we congratulated the 2016 legacy scholarship recipients.

To be considered, one need only complete their undergraduate application for admission to the University of Miami and identify the name of their alumni parent/grandparent on the Common Application. The student must also submit a Free Application for Free Federal Student Aid through the federal processor, with the University (school code 001536) listed as a recipient of the results.
Recipients are notified over the summer of their selection by a representative of the Office of Alumni Relations.

1959 MG MGA news, pictures, specifications, and information
Chassis Num:
The 1959 MGA 1500 continued with the same 1489cc engine and still was amiable in either coupe or roadster form. In the spring of 1958, MG made an announcement for a new Twin-Cam version of the MGA. This new version featured a dual-overhead-cam four-cylinder engine with an aluminum-alloy head and a displacement size of 1588cc. Horsepower was rated at 108 with 104 foot-pounds of torque. This was an increase of nearly 40 horsepower over the overhead-valve engine. The DOHC engine had hemispherical combustion chambers, inverted bucket-style tappets, and 80-degree inclined valves. Top speed was achieved at 120 mph.
Though the new engine seemed promising on paper, it would later earn a reputation for its poor reliability and as an oil burner. MG engineers worked to resolve the issue; by the time the teething problems had been resolved, the damage had been done.
The Twin-Cam MGA's came standard with Dunlop disc brakes at all four corners. They had a four-speed manual gearbox, hydraulically-operated clutch, and 4.3:1 final gear ratio.
For 1959, MG sold approximately 17,693 vehicles in the United States. This car is one of 2,111 MGA Twin Cam Roadsters produced from late 1958 to early 1960.
The MGA Twin Cam was produced to compete in the 1.6-liter racing class. The cars featured four-wheel Dunlop disc brakes and Dunlop knock-off pin drive steel wheels. The DOHC engine produced 108 horsepower compared to 68 horsepower in the 1.6-liter pushrod engine. The Twin Cam was raced by the factory at Sebring in 1959. This car has been owned by the current owner since 1978 and has been raced in numerous vintage events since 1984.
This handsome coupe represents the quickest ever MGA. It has a 1588cc B-Series engine with a twin-camshaft head designed by racecar builder Harry Westlake. This optional combination produced 108hp and had a top speed of 110 mph. With an independent front suspension and rack-and-pinion steering, handling was already far superior to the T-Series. But it was the car's lines that gave it a revolutionary aerodynamic appearance. Only 323 of these coupes were produced. This car has just completed a multi-year restoration.

In September of 1955, MG introduced its 'A' (MGA) and it marked a radical departure from its predecessors. By the spring of 1958, the Twin-Cam arrived, which included Dunlop four-wheel disc brakes and disc-type knock-off wheels. This new version had nearly 40 horsepower more than the standard 1500cc MGA, and had a top speed that exceeded 110 mph. In total, there were around 2,100 examples of the Twin-Cam coupe and roadster produced through early 1960.
This example, chassis number YD3/1841, is an original US-delivery car with a known history dating to 1967 in Oregon. The car has been completely restored and finished in its factory-original Mineral Blue color with grey leather Competition Deluxe leather seats.
In 2011, this vehicle was offered for sale at the Amelia Island auction presented by RM Auctions. The car was estimated to sell for $60,000 - $75,000 and offered without reserve. As bidding came to a close, the car had been sold for the sum of $77,000 including buyer's premium.

Twin-Cam Coupe
This MGA is the only known surviving car from the 1959 MGA Sebring team. The 1959 MGA Team represented the MG Car Company's first factory prepared 'Works' entries at Sebring. MG's General Manager, John Thornley was on hand with works team manager Marcus Chambers to oversee the race. Gus Ehrman and Ray Saidel piloted the car to a 2nd in class finish. After Sebring, the car was sold to Leon Mandel of Autoweek fame and was immediately driven to California. Leon entered the car at the Tracy Airport Races in 1959. Shortly thereafter, the car was sold and lost for decades.
The current owners tracked the car down in a field in California. Although found in derelict condition, fortunately the car retained all its factory works modifications from Sebring and the spare tire even retained its original Dunlop racing tire.
The car has just completed a full restoration to its 1959 Sebring specifications.

Sold for $27,500 at
2015 RM Auctions
The MGA made its debut ten years after World War II and competed against the Triumph TR2 and then the TR3, and the big Healey for customer sales. The MGA was also a bridge between the modern and classic era of sports car development. This particular example has been given a thorough, frame-off restoration which took over a year to complete. The body has been finished in its original color of Ash Green, with the correct grey interior. It rides on 72-spoke painted wheels that have new chrome spinners and are mounted with new 165R15 tires.
In 2015 it was brought to RM Auction's Arizona sale where it found new ownership for the sum of $27,500 which included buyer's premium.

2015 Mecum.
(did not sell)
This MGA is one of 2,111 produced and is finished in Old English White with a red interior. Power is from an original factory built twin cam 1588cc dual overhead cam engine mated to a 4-speed manual transmission. It has been given a professional restoration and has been garage kept and well maintained. It has a tool roll, engine crank tool, all weather equipment, and five matching twin cam wheels.
By Daniel Vaughan | Feb 2016
The MGA began production in 1955. The styling and mechanics were different from previous MG models. The public had been given hints of its new design during the 1951 Le-Mans 24 hour endurance race. The car was driven by George Phillips and was actually a TD Midget with body modifications.
The XPAG engine that had power many previous MG's was replaced by a new power-plant. This 1489 cc four-cylinder, B-series engine provided between 68 and 72 horsepower. The BMC B-series unit had made its debut in the MG Magnette saloon and proved to be a reliable and powerful engine.
To create enthusiasm for the cars prior to release, three aluminum bodied prototypes were created and dubbed EX182. They were entered into the Le Mans race where they finished fifth and sixth in their class. This epic achievement gave the MGA racing credibility and mechanical reliability.
The styling of the car was undeniably elegant. Its aerodynamic design and two-seat open-body was stylish and sporty. The vehicle sat very low to the ground providing an excellent center of gravity. This improved the handling and cornering ability. The chassis was a modified TD Midget unit with widely spaced side rails allowing for a low-seating position.
In the rear of the vehicle was a spare wheel mounted on the upper portion of the outside of the vehicle. Underneath was adequate trunk-space for luggage. At the front of the vehicle sat the engine.
Steel disc wheels were standard equipment but centre-locking wire wheels could be substituted at an additional fee. Since the car had an open top, it was subjected to the elements. A hard-top could be purchased making the vehicle more versatile.
A coupe version quickly followed and offered features such as wind-up windows, soft-top version, and other amenities that helped appeal to a wider customer base. To stay competitive on the race track, the MGA twin-cam version was introduced in 1958. This high performance version could be driven to the race track, race, and then be driven home. The engine had been modified with aluminum components, twin overhead camshafts, and dual SU carburetors. These enhancements increased the horsepower rating to 110 and the overall top speed to 115 miles-per-hour. Disc brakes replaced the drums which not only made the car more competitive, it made it safer. Unfortunately, the vehicle suffered from reliability issues and did not hold up well to the strain of racing. So in 1960, MG discontinued its production.
In 1959, MG introduced the MGA 1600's and offered them in coupe and open form. These were the standard MGA cars but with 1588 cc B-series pushrod engines. Drum brakes were used in the rear of the vehicle, but disc brakes were placed in the front.
In 1961, the MGA 1600 MKII was introduced. It featured a 1622 cc. B-series engine that was capable of producing 93 horsepower. 100 miles per hour was easily achieved by the MKII. Minor aesthetic changes were made to the front and rear of the vehicle.
In 1962, MG ceased production of the MGA. Nearly 100,000 examples had been produced during its life span making it the longest-running and best-selling MG. The success of the vehicle was in part to its styling, racing history, performance, and its competitive pricing. Many of the MGA's produced were exported to the United States. In the end and after so many years, the MGA was having trouble staying competitive with models offered by other manufacturers.

Now I am looking for a way that Salesforce just sends data to the Blogs and they publish it without me having to logging in to the draftboard, copy&pasting everything etc.
The Salesforce side is no problem, I just don't know how to handle this input in WordPress.

Lovers Eddie Bateman and Hayley Moss caught sharing first kiss on Google Street View
- From: Daily Mail
- June 10, 2010
THE amorous couple who were captured in a romantic clinch seen the world over on Google's Street View have gone public.
And the embrace meant more than a quick snog for these teenage love birds - as it was actually their very first kiss as a couple.
Laid out on the grassy bank in Wolverhampton, in Britain's West Midlands, Eddie Bateman and his girlfriend Hayley Moss don't look like they have a care in the world as they lock lips on the cold afternoon in March.
But unbeknown to them their first embrace was filmed by a passing Google Street van last year, as they stole away for a quiet moment together.
Update: Google has now removed the image from Street View. Read more »
The pair, who had only just got together when the picture was taken, told the Daily Mail they were so engrossed in each other they never noticed the passing van which documented the special smooch.
Seventeen-year-old Hayley said she was "shocked" when she first found out she was caught on camera kissing.
The sixth-form student said: "I couldn't believe it, I wouldn't admit to it being me at first, as I was worried it looked quite bad, as it looks more than it is, but it really was just a kiss.
"I think it's amazing that our first kiss has been in the paper.
"In the end I had to give in and tell people. They were, like, 'Come on, we know that's you ... We know it's definitely Eddie, so it must be you'."
Hayley, who lives in Wolverhampton, said she remembered the moment fondly because they were trying to sneak away from her parents and friends - whom they were yet to tell about their relationship.
"I remember that day, we hadn't told anyone we were together then, and I didn't want anyone to know,' she added.
"We literally had just got together. I was studying for my GCSEs and my mum didn't want me going out very much as I was supposed to be studying.
"I remember meeting him there, it was about ten minutes walk from my house, and we just sat there, neither of us had any transport, so we couldn't go far."
Hayley, who is still together with Eddie, said her mum Julie, a 48-year-old cleaner, was initially shocked about finding out her daughter's kiss was caught on camera.
But Hayley added: "Mum saw the funny side of it."

I need information about...
Arthritis and other rheumatic diseases are common conditions that cause pain, swelling, and limited movement. They affect joints and connective tissues around the body. Millions of people in the U.S. have some form of arthritis.
Arthritis means inflammation of a joint. A joint is where two or more bones meet. There are more than 100 different arthritis diseases. Rheumatic diseases include any condition that causes pain, stiffness, and swelling in joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments, or bones. Arthritis is usually chronic, which means that it is ongoing.
Arthritis and other rheumatic diseases are more common in women than men. They are also often associated with old age. This is because the most common form of arthritis, osteoarthritis, occurs more often in older adults. However, arthritis and other rheumatic diseases affect people of all ages.
The three most common forms of arthritis are:
Other forms of arthritis or related disorders include:
The cause of arthritis depends on the type of arthritis. Osteoarthritis is caused by the wear and tear of the joint over time or because of overuse. Rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and scleroderma are caused by the body's immune system attacking the body's own tissues. Gout is caused by the buildup of crystals in the joints. Arthritis can be linked to genes. People with genetic marker HLA-B27 have a higher risk of ankylosing spondylitis. Many other forms of arthritis are idiopathic. This means that the cause is not known.
Some risk factors for arthritis that can't be avoided or changed include:
Risk factors that may be avoided or changed include:
Symptoms can occur a bit differently in each person. The most common symptoms include:
The symptoms of arthritis can be like other health conditions. Make sure to see your health care provider for a diagnosis.
The process starts with a medical history and a physical exam. Tests may also be done. These include blood tests such as:
Other tests may be done, such as:
Treatment will depend on your symptoms, your age, and your general health. It will also depend on how what type of arthritis you have, and how severe the condition is. A treatment plan is tailored to each person with his or her health care provider.
There is no cure for arthritis. The goal of treatment is often to limit pain and inflammation, and help ensure joint function. Treatment plans often use both short-term and long-term methods.
Short-term treatments include:
Long-term treatments include:
Arthritis treatment can include a team of health care providers, such as:
Because arthritis causes joints to degenerate over time, it can cause disability. It can cause pain and movement problems that cause a person to be less able to carry out normal daily activities and tasks.
Although there is no cure for arthritis, it is important to help keep joints functioning by reducing pain and inflammation. Work on a treatment plan with your health care provider that includes medication and therapy. Work on lifestyle changes that can improve your quality of life. Lifestyle changes include:
If your symptoms get worse or you have new symptoms, let your health care provider know.

Big Data
Genome research is one of several areas where the big-data tool Hadoop is proving itself. (Stock image)
Can the big-data tool Hadoop help rescue victims during the next big disaster, or steer health officials toward the cancer treatment that is a patient's best bet?
It's beginning to happen, according to Dante Ricci, director of federal innovation at SAP. Pre-packaged solutions based on Hadoop already exist that federal agencies (and state and local ones) could use to deliver critical insights from to researchers and emergency responders in real-time, he said.
"Hadoop is a powerful technology that can meet some of the needs of big data, but not all the different use cases of big data," Ricci said. "Government employees and citizens want a simple interface, but they don't have that combination of tools that allow end-users to search and understand the different capabilities in the data that are there for finding correlations."
For those still trying to wrap their head around big data, Hadoop is an even bigger enigma. Here's the (very) short version:
The Hadoop software framework allows the ability to work with massive amounts of unstructured data by spreading the load across a large number of servers. It is an open-source version of Google's MapReduce, which the search-engine giant developed for its own web-indexing and searching efforts.
Hadoop is an Apache Software Foundation project. A more detailed description is available at http://hadoop.apache.org/
Hadoop is as an open-source framework used in managing and processing vast amounts of structured and unstructured data. (see sidebar) Companies like Facebook, Twitter and Yahoo use it to take enormous volumes of low-value information from web servers, such as link clicks, and turn into useful data, according to Sid Probstein, CTO of Attivio, a Massachusetts-based enterprise software company.
But useful summaries require Hadoop be layered with other applications that might, for example, mine data or provide visualization to an end-user.
"Hadoop is a solid technology, it's very effective at solving the volume problem, but most interesting output has to be merged with other data," Probstein said. "You have to put that data in order for real people to consume it."
Some companies have turned to pre-packaged solutions that do just that, combining Hadoop's data processing capabilities with other tools like in-memory technology to provide end-users with real-time insights gleaned from big piles of data.
Ricci cited a use-case of MKI, a biotechnology company based in Japan, as evidence of where Hadoop-based technologies are headed.
MKI uses Hadoop in conjunction with SAP's in-memory HANA system and the open-source statistical program R to create what Ricci called a "real-time big data platform" that cuts down the time it takes doctors to sequence genomes.
In the system, Hadoop handles data pre-processing and high-speed storage, R does the data mining and SAP's HANA system performs real-time analysis of patient data for MKI.
The end result is that doctors can compare the genome data of a cancer patient with healthy individuals, delivering analysis "before the patient leaves the hospital," Ricci said.
The National Institutes of Health could use such a system in its cancer research efforts, Ricci said. And because the technology stack can group together real-time independent data feeds like 911 and search and rescue and display information visually, it could prove useful in agencies responding to natural disasters or major emergencies.
"Hadoop with in-memory technology would allow emergency responders to have a holistic view of what's going on," Ricci said. "How do you gather all that information up, make sense of it all so you can coordinate from a central or multiple locations and make sure it's done efficiently and nobody's left out? That's what we're trying to do."
Alone, Ricci said, Hadoop is a useful tool for some, but suggested its best bet in the evolution of big data is in concert with other tools to "bring information together in a better user-interface."
"Hadoop does not fit all – it has limitations – and it's not easy for a business person or someone to go in quickly and garner insight without help from technologists," Ricci said. "The evolution of big data comes down to making the information available to all stakeholders."

A glimpse of greatness
One of the pleasures of watching ESPN's "The Greatest Game Ever Played" is getting to see Johnny Unitas in extended action.
The precision of his passes, the three-card monte trickeration on his play-action fakes, his pump fakes, his looking to one side of the field and throwing to the other, his field vision, his absolute command of his position, even his running, are gloriously in evidence.
After five decades, Unitas is still cool.
To mark the 50th anniversary of the NFL Championship Game between the New York Giants and Baltimore Colts on Dec. 28, 1958, at Yankee Stadium, ESPN created a two-hour presentation of this seminal game, stitching together previously unseen footage - the original telecast was never saved - and colorizing the black-and-white film.
To give viewers perspectives on the game, ESPN paired contemporary members of the Colts and Giants with their counterparts in that game.
So, for example, former Giants kicker Pat Summerall sits with Colts kicker Adam Vinatieri; former Colts running back Lenny Moore sits with Giants running back Brandon Jacobs; and former Giants linemen Rosey Grier and Al Barry are paired with Giants lineman Chris Snee.
It's no surprise that the most entertaining duo are former Colts lineman Art Donovan, who can amuse all by himself, and former Giants defensive end Michael Strahan, who has fun keeping up with Donovan.
The greatest game ever played wasn't a well-played game. There were seven turnovers in the first half.
"It was a real sloppy game," said former Giants running back Frank Gifford, who contributed generously to the turnover cause.
But the game wears the designation of greatest because it featured 17 people who were chosen for the Pro Football Hall of Fame, because it was the only NFL championship determined in overtime and because 45 million viewers who decided then that NFL football was worth their attention.
Vince Lombardi coached the Giants' offense, supplementing his income by doing public relations work for a bank.
Kenosha's Alan Ameche scored the winning touchdown for the Colts,.
Colts defensive end Gino Marchetti, one of the witnesses to the game who is paired with Gifford and Giants coach Tom Coughlin in the piece, says Ameche's teammates were never fond of the former University of Wisconsin fullback.
"Ameche was a tough nut," Marchetti says. "We disliked him from the day he came to camp. In 1960, when he was going to retire, he went up to (Colts coach) Weeb (Ewbank) and said, 'I think I'm retiring.' Weeb said, 'I think it's a good idea.' You don't want to hear that from your coach, do you?"
On the famous fourth-and-goal play in the third quarter, Ameche was supposed to take a pitch to the right and throw it to an open receiver in the end zone. But he missed hearing the play call, and was tackled for a loss.
In overtime, however, Ameche from a yard out plunged into NFL history.
Unitas, the guy who handed him the ball, turns his head to make sure Ameche scores, then pivots and casually walks away from the play in that hunched-shoulder manner he had.
No celebration from Unitas. Still cool.
"The Greatest Game Ever Played" will air at 8 p.m. Saturday on ESPN.

By Jonathan Allen NEW YORK (Reuters) - Transgender people born in New York state, with the exception of New York City, will no longer have to prove that they have had sex-reassignment surgery to change the sex marked on their birth certificate, Governor Andrew Cuomo's office said on Thursday. About 100 people a year seek to change the sex on their birth certificate in New York state, according to the office of the governor, who is a Democrat. New York City has a separate records system from the rest of the state and still requires proof of surgery for such a change. Under the policy, a

Arum Feels He Can Make Pacquiao-Marquez 5 in Macau
By CARLOS ARIAS
INGLEWOOD, CALIF. --- Following his unanimous decision victory over Mike Alvarado at The Forum, Juan Manuel Marquez didn't sound so enthusiastic about fifth fight with Manny Pacquiao, but Top Rank CEO Bob Arum believes he can get a fifth fight done.
"What he said was he would go back and consult with his team and analyze the fifth fight and see what he will do," Arum said. "I think that's a pretty good statement. I'm failry confident (that the fifth fight against Pacquiao could me made). It's up to him. It really is. Manny wants the fight. I think that there is a lot of money in the fight, so we'll see. Kevin said maybe the pay-per-view numbers would be down because it's the fifth time and that's a possibility, but I say so what, because the U.S. is not the only market."
Arum wants to hold the fifth Marquez-Pacquiao fight in the month of November, in Macau, and two-time Olympic gold medal winner Zou Shiming would appear in the co-feature in a world title fight.
Pacquiao/Shiming co-headlined a card last November in Macau, where the Filipino star dominated Brandon Rios over twelve rounds. The card generated lukewarm pay-per-view figures. This time around, Arum will offer the card on pay-per-view not only in the United States, but also in China. The price of the pay-per-view in China will translate to around $10 dollars USD.
"This time in November we already got everything going for pay-per-view in China," Arum said. "We have Zou Shiming fighting for a title, Manny, it will be a big card. Sunday morning is an ideal time for pay-per-view in China."

PHP Developer's Cookbook (Developer's Library) (英語) ペーパーバック – 2001/12/13
Kindle 端末は必要ありません。無料 Kindle アプリのいずれかをダウンロードすると、スマートフォン、タブレットPCで Kindle 本をお読みいただけます。
Kindle をお持ちでない場合、こちらから購入いただけます。 Kindle 無料アプリのダウンロードはこちら。
PHP Developer's Cookbook is a task-oriented book intended to offer solutions to the daily problems and goals the PHP developer faces.
In addition to a brief introduction to PHP, the main content of the book is presented in a problem and solution format, logically organized on a topic-by-topic basis. Each question specifies a goal, and the following text provides a detailed solution that achieves the stated goal along with any additional related information.
After a crash course in the basics, the PHP Developer's Cookbook covers more advanced development topics.
Sterling Hughes is a freelance Web developer, creating dynamic Web applications in PHP, C, and Perl for Fortune 500 companies. He is a coauthor of the PHP documentation and has written articles about PHP for Webreference, Zend.com, and Webtechniques. He currently writes a regular feature for Zend.com. He authored PHP's SWF, CURL, Sablotron (XSL), and BZip2 extensions, and coauthored the Sockets extension. He can be reached at email@example.com.
Andrei Zmievski is the lead development engineer and open source researcher at ispi, where he works on various e-commerce and Web publishing projects. He is a member of the PHP core development group and has contributed to several other open source projects. His other interests include piano and computer graphics. He can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Amazon.com で最も参考になったカスタマーレビュー (beta)
PHP Developer's Cookbook is for INTERMEDIATE/ADVANCED users that have already had their introduction, already used PHP for a while, and find themselves, while working on a project, saying, "How do you validate an email address?" or "How do we save sessions in a database?"
This is a book of PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS, broken into little categories for easy reference. (Look at the table of contents.) Of course you could go through it from start to finish and learn quite a bit, even if you're not working on a big project yet.
All that being said, THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST VALUABLE PHP BOOKS I'VE EVER SEEN, and I've seen them all. It's the only one I'm going to keep on my desk now as I work. It's exactly what I was looking for. (I work on PHP projects all day, and am constantly searching the mailing lists to remember how to create drop-down-menus, how to process individual words in a text file, etc. This book has it all!)
Combine this with the new feature on [...] that lets you type "[...] to immediately look up the manual page for every PHP function, and you're all set!
For example, php has specific functions written for each database. This cause portability problem of the code when switching databases. We all know a databases API is badly needed, and quite a few books have touched on this topic, but none which actually go through the code and explain in detail how they work, how database wrappers are created and used. Another example is the session handlers. Almost every php book includes a chapter on session, and briefly mentions how we can write our own session handlers, but they read more like a reference book. PHP developer's cookbook, again, actually take you through the steps of create them and how to incoporate them into your scripts. Other examples in this book include: how to interface with other programs and languages(sockets, COM, Java methods and classes). How to work with php images functions, php XML functions, ZEND API.
Again, I wish I have found this book ealier, it would have saved me a bunch of headache and time. I truely suggest this book to any experienced PHP programmers out there.
The layout and general concept of this book is very similar to that other beloved cookbook. Some entries are nearly identical. One feature I adore in particular is multiple recipes for one task, stating which is faster/more efficient, and then telling you why.
I have been scripting PHP for 2 years, mostly professionally, but many fun, personal projects as well. Not only do I wish I had this book, but I am gald that I have it now. I have been reading this thing randomly but voraciously, and I have found little gems even under the elementary topics.
I will be working on 2 major projects soon, the development stage of one has just begun. One is a massive intranet site, (authentication, sessions, customization, etc.) and the other is an ecommerce site/application. I will be using this book continuously as a: 1) code reminder 2) how-to resource 3) code-refiner 4) style-refiner.
I've already used it several times for custom classes - don't pass this one up!
In PHP, it's easy to connect to a database, pull out some data, and throw it up on the screen. This can lead to complacency and perhaps cause one to put issues of efficiency and security on the back burner (not that I'm speaking from experience or anything...).
The material here makes the difference between "knowing" PHP and being truly good and professional at it. Wrox's "Professional PHP Programming" is the cake, this book is the icing.

Make the Most of Produce Shopping at Farm Markets
The sights and aromas of common and offbeat varieties of vegetables and fruits are truly inspiring as you browse the aisles of farm markets. Often, there are samplings, food demos, and even music, so your shopping trip becomes more of a fun outing than a mere errand. The experience can be a great one for kids, helping them make the connection between the food they (hopefully) eat and the people who grow it. Just-harvested farm market fare — that hasn't been trucked across the country — is at its peak of flavor and nutrition. Here are a few tips for making the most of your farm market shopping expeditions, adapted from Plant Power by Nava Atlas (HarperOne, ©2014, reprinted by permission). Photos by Hannah Kaminsky. more→
5 Ways to Make Environmentally Conscious Food Choices
Growing up in Idaho I have been fortunate enough to constantly be surrounded by fresh produce and ingredients. We appreciate home grown food here. Though, unfortunately some local businesses haven't been able to make it too long and (as with any other US town I would imagine) we have an abundance of processed foods and waste. Have you ever thought that what you eat will make an impact on the status of the world? It's definitely true — not only what you eat, but where you eat it and who made it. Here are some very easy enviro-friendly tweaks to implement the next time you think about dinner. more→

10 Ways to be a Frugal Vegan
"I'd think about going vegan but it's too expensive." How many times have we heard someone express a sentiment like this or imply that eating being vegan is just for the affluent? How often have we ourselves thought, "Well, I'm spending more now but I will make up for it with my lack of medical bills." (I hope.) Truth be told, it is more expensive to eat fresh, whole foods than to eat off of dollar menus — at least at the outset, because a diet high in animal products can be quite expensive to us down the road – but there are ways to cut that back while not sacrificing an emphasis on unprocessed, natural foods. Here are some simple but effective strategies for cutting back on your food expenses. Excerpted from this article on Vegan Street, where you'll find 10 additional strategies for being a frugal vegan!
Stocks and Broths for Vegan Soups
Adapted from Vegan Soups and Hearty Stews for All Seasons. Contrary to culinary myth, the absence of a strong-flavored meat stock does not present a huge challenge to the creation of tasty plant-based soups and stews. Many ethnic cuisines produce classic soups that in their original form are completely vegetarian or vegan. True, almost any soup can benefit from a good stock to boost flavor, but I place fresh and flavorful ingredients and creative seasoning above stock in contributing to the success of a soup. more→
Turnips, Kohlrabi, Radishes, and Other Odd Vegetables: Are They Our Key to Survival?
Last week, we got kohlrabi in our CSA boxes for a second time in a row. Chatting with a fellow CSA* member she complained, "Why did we get kohlrabi again? Can't they just give us vegetables we know?" Our personal vegetable kingdoms are frequently divided between "vegetables we know" and "everything else." The former category includes perennial favorites like tomatoes, lettuce, cucumbers and peppers. The latter is a dumping ground for those vegetables we never buy or that don't have instant taste appeal, like kohlrabi, collards, radishes, turnips, parsnips, and celeriac. more→
How to Freeze Garden Vegetables and Fruits
A Q&A with Margaret Roach of A Way to Garden
In our household, my husband is the gardener, and I'm the cook. As gardeners know, each crop usually comes up within a short time span, and often in ridiculous quantities! The first year my husband did a vegetable garden, I called it "The Summer of the Chard Explosion." The next year was "The Great Tomato Debacle," during which we actually had to give away tomatoes to our CSA. I did try to freeze some of these overabundant garden goods, but didn't feel confident that I was doing it right. The greens, especially, did not thaw out particularly well. more→
Favorite Cookware and Tools for the Plant-Based Kitchen
Excerpted and adapted from from Plant Power: Transform Your Kitchen, Plate, and Life with More Than 150 Fresh and Flavorful Vegan Recipes by Nava Atlas. ©2014, published by HarperOne, reprinted by permission. Photo above by Hannah Kaminsky. The plant-powered kitchen need not be magazine-gorgeous and outfitted with the latest gadgets and appliances. These things would be nice, of course, but they're not required to create delicious meals. Still, an assortment of basic tools can make life in the kitchen easier and, in some cases, more enjoyable. Just as with pantry items, you don't have to run out and buy all these items at once—or at all. These are tools I enjoy having in my kitchen and that you might, too, as as you begin to enjoy more plant-based meals. more→

We interrupt your Titan previews for a look at comparitive Catalyst version performance
Subject: Graphics Cards | February 19, 2013 - 06:09 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: amd, catalyst, 2012
Today might be Titan Preview Day as you can see from the links below as well as Ryan's article here, but [H]ard|OCP would like to offer you solid performance numbers instead. They took a look back at the Catalyst 12.x series of drivers that AMD GPU owners have been using over the past year. With the HD 7970 and HD 7950 they tested 7 of AMD's past drivers for performance on four popular games. The findings are fairly clear, after a poor start to the year AMD's drivers showed improved performance as the year went on, with leaps after games were released and the driver could be optimized for speed. The HD7970 did improve over the year but it was the 7950 that proved to receive the biggest gains.
"We continuing our look at driver performance improvements over time by evaluating AMD's 2012 driver performances on both the AMD Radeon HD 7970 and HD 7950 video cards. We will see how drivers from the beginning of the year to the end of year have impacted real world gameplay performance . "

Intel's embedded GPU might finally be 'good enough' according to JPR
Subject: General Tech, Graphics Cards | February 19, 2013 - 01:38 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: Q4 2012, NVIDA, jon peddie, Intel, amd
Jon Peddie Research have released their findings on the state of the discrete and integrated graphics market, not counting servers, smartphone nor ARM based systems. While the overall PC market showed a negligible gain of 2.8% over the final quarter of 2012, discrete graphics sales saw a decline of 8.2%, which JPR attributes to a noticeable increase of purchases of systems with only an Intel or AMD embedded GPU. When you break the quarter down by manufacturer the news is not good. For AMD the last quarter did see an increase of less than 1% on desktop CPUs but declines of 19% in laptop CPU sales and 13.6% in discrete GPU sales. Intel saw desktop CPU sales up 3% but lost over 6% on laptop sales with their overall decline compared to last quarter sitting at about 3%. NVIDIA was hit the hardest at the end of 2012 with only their discrete GPU sales applying to this survey, a loss of 15% on the desktop and a loss of 18% on mobile GPUs lead to an overall decline of 16%.
Compared to the final quarter of 2011, AMD lost 29.4%, Intel 5% and NVIDIA 4.6%, reflecting the difficulty of making sales in the past year; the total discrete GPU market dropped almost 10% or about 3 million units. Even with the companies making profits, in some cases significant profits, the entire GPU market is depressed with ARM based devices and smartphones starting to erode the market that is already shrinking thanks to Intel and AMD shipping CPUs with embedded GPUs that are good enough for many users needs.
"The news was disappointing for every one of the major players. AMD dropped 13.6%, Intel slipped the least, just 2.9%, and Nvidia declined the most with 16.7% quarter-to-quarter change, this coming on the heels of a spectacular third quarter. The overall PC market actually grew 2.8% quarter-to-quarter while the graphics market declined 8.2% reflecting a decline in double-attach. That may be attributed to Intel's improved embedded graphics, finally making "good enough" a true statement."

AMD wants to set the record straight on its future GPU strategy

Tagged: southern islands, Solar System, Sea Islands, radeon, oland, mars, holycrapiamtotallyconfused, amd
Remember that story we posted last week and then discussed on the podcast about AMD not releasing any new GPUs in 2013? Today we had a call with AMD that attempted to answer some questions, clear up some confusion and give us some insight to the company's direction. I say 'attempted' because after a 53 minute discussion, we have some answers, but we also have some interesting questions that remain.
First, some definitions. If you have heard about code names like "Solar System" and "Sea Islands" you might not know what they refer to. Sea Islands is a new line that will fall into the 8000-series of products and will be a refresh, slightly different architecture based heavily on the Southern Islands parts you've come to love in the Radeon HD 7000 parts. Solar System is the name AMD has given to the sub-category of Sea Islands directly related to mobile products, the 8000M.
The slide that started this confusion - and our questions.
What might make things even more confusing is that there are some 8000-series parts that are already shipping in OEM desktops and notebooks that use verbatim HD 7000 GPU specs. So what you have is a combination series with Radeon HD 8000 that is made up of some rebrands and at least a couple of "new" chips thus far. Those two new GPUs, Mars and Oland (Radeon HD 8650 and HD 8670) depending on the mobile or desktop target, are already out and you can find them if you look hard. They are NOT available in the channel or for DIY PC users.
Our readers might be disappointed to learn that Sea Islands is heavily focused on the notebook and mobile markets though AMD did indicate that there some good things coming for the channel users in the future in 2013.
We also learned that the HD 7900-series will remain the company's high end parts through the end of 2013 but AMD said that there are new SKUs set to be released in this series sometime this year as well. Will that be the elusive HD 7990 dual-GPU product or maybe just something in the mainstream 7800 segments? They wouldn't tell us but we are definitely hoping for higher performance parts. You might also expect to see these new 7000-series parts to use Sea Islands silicon...
The Radeon HD 7970 looks like it will stay a focus for AMD throughout 2013.
Many readers might be wondering why AMD is breaking its standard cadence of near-yearly GPU releases. The answer came from AMD's Roy Taylor, VP of Channel Sales, who said that "7000 series parts are continuing to ramp UP, sales are increasing" so it is premature for AMD, as a company intending to make money, to introduce a new series or architecture.
In fact Roy was very emphatic about relieving us of potential ambiguity.
We have products, we have a road map. We are not announcing them now because we want to reposition the ones we have now. We are not sitting still, we do not lack resources, we do not lack imagination.
So what can you expect for the future? Sea Islands chips will continue to be released and eventually in the desktop, channel market and some of them will be branded as 7000-series parts and some of them will be branded as 8000-series parts. They wouldn't give us information on whether or not you'll see BIGGER chips (which we would assume would be faster) than the current HD 7900 cards or if they would all be in the mainstream segment.
AMD thinks its partnerships with key games like Crysis 3 will help keep momentum in 2013.
The residual message from this call was that AMD wants everyone to know that they have the best products on the market today and to maintain that momentum, AMD will enhance drivers, establish big partnerships with gaming companies and developers and release SOME new GPUs.
AMD was cagey again when asked about the possibility of a new architecture by the end of 2013 but based on the reactions of AMD reps I tend to believe we will see it, though probably very very close to the end of that time. (Update: AMD did in fact say that an entire new product stack would be releaed by the end of 2013.)
That all clear now?

AMD plans no new graphics cards in 2013, report
Subject: Graphics Cards | February 8, 2013 - 10:03 PM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: amd, radeon
In a report first spotted by Rage3D from source website 4gamer.net, news is filtering out that AMD may in fact have no new discrete graphics card releases for the remainder of 2013! While talking with the APAC media about the fantastic Never Settle Reloaded game bundle, they showed THIS slide.
That seems to indicate that at the very least through the 3rd quarter of 2013, AMD has no plans to update or add to its discrete graphics card roadmap. We had heard whispers of this fact while at CES in January but this pretty much puts a cap on it. And with the wording of "throughout 2013" it could indicate we won't see new product until 2014.
Also shown, this product comparison between AMD and NVIDIA, put together by AMD, is a bit lopsided and less than 100% accurate in my eyes. With the release of the new 3DMark Fire Strike benchmark AMD has a distinct advantage and it seems the slide here is based completely on that....blech.
Regardless, what does it mean if AMD actually has no new discrete, enthusiast class cards for 2013? We know the rumors are swirling about the NVIDIA GeForce Titan based on the GK110 and sporting 2688 CUDA cores and it will likely take the place as the fastest single GPU card on the market. AMD has been depending on its partners to build multi-GPU options based on Southern Islands like the ASUS ARES II and Powercolor Devil 13 but they have been pretty low volume. Our original review of the HD 7970 launched in December 2011....this could be quite a drought.

More Oland leaks, this time with open sauce goodness

Phoronix has good news for Linux users about the "RadeonSI" Gallium3D driver which AMD has slowly been developing for the HD 7000 series, MESA has announced the driver is being developed for the HD 8000 series. The project commit is a candidate for MESA 9.1 and the Linux 3.9 kernel which could lead to some issues as most Linux flavours are using 3.8 or earlier but should bode well for the future. This hopefully signals a greater commitment to OpenCL and other projects AMD has started but not managed to fully develop. We also have quite a few PCI IDs from the commit statement, 0x6600, 0x6601, 0x6602, 0x6603, 0x6606, 0x6607, 0x6610, 0x6611, 0x6613, 0x6620, 0x6621, 0x6623, and 0x6631 are all listed.
"While AMD has yet to officially introduce their Radeon HD 8000 series, published today was the initial open-source Linux graphics driver support for handling the Radeon HD 8800 "Oland" graphics cards."

Taiwanese motherboard manufacturer ASRock has shown off a new mini-ITX motherboard aimed at home theater PC (HTPC) users called the FM2A85X-ITX. The new motherboard uses AMD's A85X chipset and supports the company's latest Trinity accelerated processing units (APUs).
The FM2A85X-ITX motherboard features an AMD FM2 socket surrounded by two DDR3 DIMM slots (max of 32GB 1866MHz RAM), a PCI-E 2.0 x16 slot, and seven SATA 6Gbps ports. A six phase VRM, two USB 3.0 headers, 8 channel audio chip, and RAID 0/1/10 support round out the package.
External IO on the mini-ITX motherboard includes:
- 1 x PS/2
- 4 x USB 2.0
- 2 x USB 3.0
- 1 x eSATA 6Gbps
- 1 x Gigabit Ethernet
- 1 x Optical S/PDIF
- 5 x Analog audio jacks
- 1 x DVI
- 1 x HDMI
- 1 x VGA
According to Tech Power Up, the new motherboard will cost around $110 USD. Thanks to the form factor, APU support, and multitude of storage connectivity options, the board would make for an excellent addition to a HTPC build!

AMD Never Settle Reloaded Bundle Campaign Includes Crysis 3, Bioshock Infinite and Tomb Raider

You might remember over the holiday season of 2012 that AMD had a simply amazing bundle of games to entice PC gamers to choose purchasing Radeon graphics cards instead of GeForce. That bundle included Medal of Honor, Sleeping Dogs, Hitman: Absolution and Far Cry 3. We were stoked to see that kind of comittment to the gamer and even did a set of three game streams with AMD on each games' release.
Well after a behind-the-scenes battle that was finally decided just about two weeks ago, AMD is ready to announce the "Never Settle Reloaded" bundle that might actually be MORE impressive based on the games included.
First up is the reboot of Tomb Raider, a fresh look at the Lara Croft character that I got to get hands on at an event in Toronto last year. Due out on March 5th, the visuals in this game are damn good.
Bioshock infinite is the third game in the acclaimed series and has a few DirectCompute additions to the game engine code. Release is set on March 26th.
DMC Devil May Cry is included for the APAC region (instead of Tomb Raider).
And the biggest name in the bundle is no doubt Crysis 3 - a game that many PC gamers have been looking forward to and one that promises to push gaming performance on high-end GPUs to their limits. I was playing this on a GTX 680 recently (the MP beta) and couldn't get more than 40 FPS at 1080p and Ultra settings.
So how doese the bundle break down?
If you buy a single Radeon HD 7970 or HD 7950 you'll be able to get keys for both Crysis 3 and Bioshock Infinite, completely free! HD 7800 series buyers will get both Bioshock Infinite and Tomb Raider.
Just to make things MORE interesting, if you invest in a set of HD 7900 cards for CrossFire, or even a dual-GPU HD 7900 card like the Devil 13, you'll get Crysis 3, Bioshock Infinite, Tomb Raider, Far Cry 3, Hitman: Absolution and Sleeping Dogs. That is 6 full PC games worth at least $300 that you'll get keys for just for picking AMD's Radeon cards over NVIDIA's GeForce.
A not-so-subtle jab at the competition...
So there you have it, the Never Settle Reloaded bundle. This iteration doesn't include anything for HD 7700 series cards but I think most enthusiasts are going to stay in the HD 7850 and above range of options anyway.
NVIDIA has definitely fallen behind when it comes to these kinds of deals for PC gamers and I want to know what YOU think - do these bundles affect your purchasing decision? We heard from AMD that at least one major reseller of PC hardware saw an "order of magnitude" increase in sales during the holiday season with the original Never Settle bundle and they even won a Newegg award for best marketing campaign.
Get ready for game streams again as well - we'll be hosting a few of them in February and March with more hardware and game keys to give away!
UPDATE: These deals are live right now! You can find a list of the HD 7970 cards at Newegg.com, starting at just $379 and even the HD 7950 cards starting at $295 that come with Crysis 3 and Bioshock Infinite keys! If you are looking more in the HD 7800 series range, you can find HD 7870s starting at just $209 with Bioshock and Tomb Raider keys!
