Egg Drop Soup with Clams
Egg drop soup is a popular Chinese soup. This egg drop soup recipe calls for clams. An easy and delicious egg drop soup that you can make in 30-minutes.
3 eggs (beaten)
2 cups chicken broth
2 cups water
1 pound clams (rinsed and scrubbed)
4 oz. tomato (diced into small pieces)
1 stalk scallion (finely chopped)
Salt to taste
3 dashes white pepper powder
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon Chinese rice wine
Cook's Note:
When you pour the eggs into the boiling soup, don't stir the soup with ladle or it will break up the eggs too much.
I used to dread egg drop soup (蛋花汤); I had countless bad, sticky, gooey egg drop soup made popular by American Chinese restaurants here in the US. When I was a poor and starving graduate student in the Midwest, I ate too much crappy Chinese buffets or lunch specials with endless supply of MSG-loaded egg drop soup. I was not a big fan of it.
But it all changed recently when I was in Shanghai, when I dined at Jesse, a famous local gem that serves exquisite Shanghainese fare. Their egg drop soup was superior with light and refreshing broth (no starch added!) saturated with the natural sweetness of clams. My co-worker and I slurped the big serving of egg drop soup dry; it was satisfying.
I have been making egg drop soup with clams since I came back. I try to replicate the taste and perfect the recipe, and I think I am getting there.
Try my egg drop soup recipe and say goodbye to the runny, tasteless, plain, boring egg drop soup you get from your Chinese joints. Say hello to a refreshing, comforting, and home-made egg drop soup that you will need to beat the summer heat. If you don't like clams, you can add tofu and it works fine, too.

Meet Bronksey – the Staten Island District Attorney's new victims advocate.
The 2-year-old golden retriever-lab mix has just joined the office to help calm the nerves of witnesses, especially children, as they testify in stressful situations. He's also the first permanent "comfort dog" to be employed by a district attorneys office in New York City.
"We investigate over 300 child abuse cases a year and you can imagine how difficult it must be for a child to explain some horrific incident that happened to them to strangers," Staten Island District Attorney Daniel Donovan said yesterday in announcing his newest addition to the office.
Bronksey was donated by Canine Companions for Independence, a non-profit that trains therapy dogs. One administrative change had to be made immediately; the dog's name was original "Bronx."
"We had a really difficult time taking a dog named Bronx in Staten Island, so we made a little variation," Donovan said, joking that he didn't want the Bronx DA to think they stole his dog.
While Bronksey was supposed to take a week to get used to his new office, he was called into action early to help a 12-year-boy who was sexually assaulted by a relative testify before the grand jury.
Donovan said that as they were leaving the courthouse, the mom thanked prosecutors for the use of the dog, "making this process, this terrible ordeal, a little bit better."
Therapy dogs have been long been used in hospitals, in nursing homes and with the disabled to reduce stress and anxiety. They are increasingly being used in other ways.
More and more dogs are being used more in courtroom settings across the country and last year, Yale Law School offered therapy dogs to be checked out like books for 30 minutes at a time to help stressed out law students studying.
However, the practice of using therapy dogs to help people testify is not without controversy. Last year a dog was used to calm a 15-year-old Poughkeepsie girl as she testified against her father, whom was convicted raping and impregnated her.
The man's attorney later appealed the conviction arguing that the formal setting of a courtroom is useful in dissuading witnesses from lying. Defense attorneys argue that the cute canines can sway jurors and make witnesses look more wholesome.
For the time being, Donovan said Bronksey is only being used during questioning with investigators and before and after courtroom testimony, Donovan said.

RAWALPINDI, Pakistan (Reuters) - A suicide bomber killed 13 people at Shi'ite processions in the city where Pakistan's army is headquartered on Wednesday night, highlighting the country's security challenges a day before it hosts leaders from Egypt, Iran and other developing nations.
Local television stations said 13 people were killed but police put the death toll at eight. Twenty-five people were wounded, including children.
The blast ripped a hole in the walls of a Shi'ite mosque in the city of Rawalpindi, near the capital Islamabad. Body parts were scattered at the scene.
Hundreds of worshippers, beating their heads and chests, kept marching, even though other explosive devices were found at the site.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack which occurred hours after two bomb blasts killed at least three people near a gathering of Shi'ites in Pakistan's commercial hub and biggest city Karachi.
Hardline Sunni militant groups linked to al Qaeda have in recent months stepped up attacks against Pakistan's minority Shi'ites, whom they regard as non-Muslims.
Pakistan's military, one of the world's biggest, has failed to break the back of a persistent insurgency despite launching several offensives against their strongholds in the northwest near the border with Afghanistan.
Pakistan hosts a summit of eight developing nations on Thursday. Pakistan, Iran, Egypt, Turkey, Indonesia, Malaysia, Nigeria and Bangladesh are expected to discuss ways of boosting trade and investment at an event which Islamabad hopes will improve its standing. Some presidents have already arrived.
Pakistani Interior Minister Rehman Malik said the attacks were designed to hurt Pakistan's image and create the impression that its U.S.-backed government is incapable of establishing stability.
"We are trying to build relationships, get investment in Pakistan and these groups are trying to derail the process," he told Reuters.
Pakistani authorities are bracing for what could be a bloody weekend, the climax of the Shi'ite mourning month of Muharram. Radical Sunni groups have staged high-profile attacks on that occasion in the past.
Thousands of security personnel are expected to be deployed in a bid to avoid attacks. About 50,000 people are expected to march through the streets of Islamabad on Saturday.
Muharram marks the anniversary of the Battle of Karbala where the grandson of the Prophet Mohammad and his family members were killed.
Earlier on Wednesday, a bomb blast killed three soldiers and two civilians in the Pakistani city of Quetta, security officials said.
The bomb, attached to a motorcycle, exploded near a security vehicle escorting school children, they said. Sixteen people were wounded. A Reuters reporter saw the bodies of three soldiers under the vehicle as it burned.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack in Baluchistan, Pakistan's biggest but poorest province which borders Afghanistan and Iran, and where several militant groups are active.

Television and magazine advertisements from cancer centers often tug at people's heartstrings, but rarely provide information needed to make a decision about cancer treatment, says a new study.
"I think there is a concern in general and among some physicians that advertising may be creating some inappropriate demand for services or providing unrealistic expectations," Dr. Yael Schenker, the study's senior author from the University of Pittsburgh, said.
She and her colleagues write in the Annals of Internal Medicine that most cancer centers in the U.S. use ads to tell people about their services, but there has been little research on the content of those messages.
"These ads are common," Schenker said. "They're hard not to notice."
A Reuters special report found that some cancer centers may skew their survival data to suggest superior outcomes in information shown to prospective patients (see Reuters Special Report of March 6, 2013 here: reut.rs/VFhuli.)
To analyze the advertising that may attract those patients to begin with, Schenker and her colleagues used a media monitoring service to find ads for cancer centers that ran in major magazines and on television networks during 2012.
Overall, they found 409 advertisements placed by 102 cancer centers in magazines and TV networks throughout the year.
"Cancer treatments were promoted far more often than screening services," Schenker said. "Also very little information was provided about these services such as risks, benefit and costs."
About 88 percent of ads talked about treatments and about 18 percent promoted cancer screenings. The majority made emotional appeals, with 61 percent mentioning hope for survival and about 41 percent describing cancer treatment as a fight or battle.
More than a quarter of the advertisements touted the benefits of a treatment or of screening, but only about 2 percent mentioned the risks. About 5 percent mentioned costs and none talked about specific insurance plans.
About half the ads featured testimonials from cancer patients and 5 percent included celebrity endorsements. Despite a Federal Trade Commission mandate requiring it, however, only 15 percent of these ads included disclaimers, such as stating that most patients do not experience the same results as the person in the ad. None described the results that a typical patient could expect.
"We would caution patients not to rely on cancer center advertisements when making cancer treatment decisions," Schenker said.
Her study didn't look at how the advertisements influenced potential patients, but said that's "an important next step." It would also be useful to look at these ads in relation to healthcare costs and quality, she said.
There are more than 1.6 million people diagnosed with cancer in the U.S. each year, Schenker and her colleagues note in their report, and that number is expected to increase as the population ages.
In an editorial published with the new study, Dr. Gregory Abel of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston points out that the researchers omitted Internet advertisements and they don't specify what proportion of all the advertising consumers encounter is made up of ads from cancer centers.
"Although the authors' findings are provocative, without these two important sources of context, the ultimate impact of the content of cancer center advertising remains uncertain," he writes.
Schenker said there is more work to be done on the impact of cancer center advertisements.
"These advertisements are hard to ignore," she said. "Certainly I would always encourage patients to talk with their physicians about anything they've seen."

A brief sampler of recent announcements on the IP front reveal distinct themes in the marketplace. IP development and integration require a viable ecosystem of suppliers and tool vendors; automotive, audio and mobile apps continue to be important targets for IP developers whose customers seek better safety, longer battery life, and truer sound (particularly for sporting events and concerts of aging rockers); IP interfaces remain crucial; and platform-based design totally depends on further enhancements in IP technologies.
Additionally, acquisitions definitely pan out for the companies smart enough to snap up the good ones: Synopsys/ARC, Cadence/Tensilica, and Imagination/MIPS.

Little Sci loves her blanket
Finally a few shots of Little Sci who is calling New York home for the next 5 months now that mom is in town to rehearse for and then perform in All My Sons. She's getting taller, she's losing her chubb, but she's still the cutest ever.
KatE reported dutifully for work yesterday and then took LS to the park for a little romp. As you can see, Mrs Cruise still looks sh*t ass and spacey. Her daughter however seems to be showing some spunk, unwilling to let go of her trusty blanket that she takes everywhere, to the point where it appears Katie is negotiating with her for its release. Adorable, non?
Wonder how long before the GMD stamps it out of her. Disciples of Xenu are nothing if not homogeneous.
And speaking of the GMD… he's yet to be seen in the open. He does however have a much hyped cameo in Tropic Thunder, due out next week, and has committed to very limited press. They say it's supposed to save his career. They also say it's a great movie. And the sucky part is, NOT supporting it means NOT supporting RDJ.

Arlington parents burned in kitchen fire
Arlington parents burned in kitchen fire
A kitchen fire at a home in Pittsburgh's Arlington area left two parents badly burned Thursday morning.
Cooking started the fire on the stove on Eleanor Street, and the injuries happened while the father tried to remove the burning, splattering pan from the house.
"My dad carried it and tried to take it outside to put it out, but he tripped and it got all over my mom and burned her legs, and it burned my dad pretty bad. My mom has second-degree burns down her legs and her arms," said the couple's daughter, Angela Gaito.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus is one of the leading chronic health conditions among adults in the United States. It results from developing resistance in the body's tissues to the effects of insulin. Risk factors include advancing age, sedentary lifestyle, consumption of a high-calorie diet and obesity.
Diabetes involves an elevation of sugar levels in the blood stream because sugar does not enter the cells, which require it for fuel. This produces many potentially toxic effects throughout the body including structures in the eye, blood vessels and nerves.
One area of the body that is particularly susceptible to the toxic effects of elevated blood sugar is the lower limbs, and especially the feet.
The greatest distance from the heart and brain for arteries and nerves to travel respectively is the feet. Therefore, the cumulative effects of nerve or blood vessel damage from elevated blood sugar levels are most pronounced in the feet.
Diabetes can cause the buildup of plaques that clog both the large and small blood vessels, which provide blood flow to the legs and feet. This is known as peripheral vascular disease. Common coexisting disorders such as high blood pressure and high cholesterol also contribute to peripheral vascular disease.
When circulation to the feet is impaired, injury or wounds may fail to heal properly, and they are more prone to become infected. The most severe complication of peripheral vascular disease is gangrene, in which tissues die because of a lack of blood flow.
Diabetic nerve damage contributes to foot problems. Two types of nerves are affected by elevated blood sugar.
Autonomic nerves control the sweat glands in the feet. Autonomic nerve damage may lead to foot dryness which contributes to formation of calluses as well as skin cracking and breakdown. Large calluses may sometimes ulcerate, leading to wound formation.
Peripheral nerve damage affects the sensation and muscles in the feet. Diabetic peripheral neuropathy can lead to burning sensation in the feet followed by development of numbness.
As a result, people with diabetic neuropathy are more susceptible to foot injury and they may not notice foot injuries or wounds until they are more advanced. This can include pressure sores.
Loss of nerve function on the feet can lead to muscle atrophy, which in turn changes the architecture of the feet. In its worst form, this can result in a deformity known as Charcot foot. The result may be increased susceptibility to callus formation and skin breakdown.
The best form of foot protection in diabetes is good blood-sugar control from the time the condition is diagnosed. This can prevent nerve and artery damage from occurring. People with diabetes should always wear protective footwear, keep feet clean and moist, keep nails trimmed and inspect feet daily for calluses or wounds.
A complete foot exam by a medical provider or podiatrist is recommended at least yearly for all diabetics.
Dr. Matthew A. Clark is a board-certified physician in internal medicine and pediatrics practicing at the Ute Mountain Ute Health Center in Towaoc.

NEW YORK (AP) — Flanked by dozens of shooting survivors and relatives of victims of gunfire around the country, Mayor Michael Bloomberg pressed Congress and President Barack Obama on Monday to toughen gun laws and tighten enforcement after the Connecticut school massacre that left 20 children among the dead.
"If this doesn't do it," he asked, "what is going to?"
Such pleas have become near rituals for Bloomberg, a billionaire who has used both his mayoralty and his own money to push the gun-control cause only to see it slide from the national agenda again and again. But Bloomberg is pressing to make this moment a turning point, even as the political calculus around the issue remains hard to solve and he faces questions about a big-city mayor's sway with often-rural opponents.
During his 11 years in office, Bloomberg's administration has conducted stings and filed lawsuits to expose what it said were out-of-state dealers flouting gun sale laws. He and Boston Mayor Thomas Menino founded and run a 700-member mayors' group that lobbies lawmakers on gun measures.
Bloomberg's multimillion-dollar political pocketbook has backed like-minded candidates and attacked adversaries in races around the nation, and he criticized both Obama and Republican nominee Mitt Romney for not making the issue more of a priority during this year's presidential campaign. Bloomberg ultimately endorsed Obama.
The mayor has repeatedly stood with victims' families and spoken out tartly after mass shootings. After 12 people were killed and dozens of others wounded in a shooting this summer in a movie theater in Aurora, Colo., Bloomberg wondered aloud why police officers across the country didn't threaten to strike until tougher gun laws were passed. He later clarified that he didn't mean that literally, noting that New York law prevents police from striking.
Bloomberg's efforts have delighted gun-control advocates, but they've engendered pushback — sometimes taunting — from gun manufacturers, sellers and some state officials.
Gun-rights advocates have sometimes portrayed Bloomberg's initiatives as grandstanding by a politician who wants to build a national profile. And on Sunday, New York Times columnist David Brooks questioned whether the Manhattan-dwelling mayor could be an effective champion for his cause.
"It's counterproductive to have him as the spokesperson for the gun law movement," as it's already "perceived as an attack on the lifestyle of rural people by urban people," Brooks said on NBC's "Meet the Press," where the mayor had just appeared.
Bloomberg said Monday that it was indeed his place to speak: "I'm a human being," as well as the mayor of the nation's largest city — one that's on track this year to logs its lowest murder rate since record-keeping began in the 1960s, he said.
"I'm going to fight, and you should fight, as well. ... This is an outrage. We are killing each other," he said.
Bloomberg and the mayors' group he leads, Mayors Against Illegal Guns, are calling for reinstituting a version of the federal assault weapons ban that expired in 2004, closing the so-called "gun show loophole" by requiring all gun sellers to conduct criminal background checks on prospective buyers, and stepping up federal prosecutions of people who lie on background checks, among other proposals.
The group — a nonprofit financed by Bloomberg and other donors — released 34 video statements Monday from shooting survivors and victims' relatives around the country. John Feinblatt, Bloomberg's top aide on gun issues, said the videos had been scheduled to come out this week, but the group made sure of it by editing the pieces Friday after the shootings in Newtown, Conn. Twenty-year-old Adam Lanza killed his mother at their home, 20 children and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School, and then himself.
"A tragedy like this is often what brings the public to pay attention to an issue and brings Capitol Hill's attention to this issue," Feinblatt said, but "we never stop paying attention to this issue."
Proposals to stiffen gun laws have met potent opposition in Washington in recent years. But at least one Republican lawmaker has joined Democrats — including Sen. Joe Manchin, an avid hunter and lifelong member of the National Rifle Association — in saying it's time to discuss gun regulation again.
In New York, meanwhile, Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Monday that he would propose state gun laws to close loopholes related to assault weapons, though he didn't give specifics.
Robyn Thomas, executive director of the San Francisco-based Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence, thinks Bloomberg's efforts will make a difference.
"I do think he's ready to put a lot into this in a way that will get attention, finally," she said.
But Bob Levy, the chairman of the board of the libertarian Cato Institute, said key pieces of Bloomberg's agenda — the background check and assault weapons ban proposals — could face a difficult legal road. Levy pointed to a federal appeals court decision last week that struck down a ban on carrying concealed weapons in Illinois, saying the state hadn't done enough to show the law was justified by an increase in public safety.
Chris Foye, for one, gives Bloomberg credit for seizing the moment to speak up about guns.
"Every little bit helps," said Foye, whose 13-year-old son, Chris Owens, was killed by a stray bullet in Harlem in 2009. "For us to sit back and ignore it, that would be the worst tragedy ever."
Associated Press writers Eileen AJ Connelly in New York and Michael Virtanen in Albany, N.Y., contributed to this report.

Among the many wars throughout world include those in Israel and Iraq. The Bible predicts numerous wars and plagues will hit the Earth. AIDS and HIV diseases originated in Africa. Now Africa suffers with the deadly Ebola. If it hits the United States it would probably wipe out much of our population. It could happen. With all the travelers someone is bound to bring it back to the U.S.
Are these examples of the fulfillment of the Bible's prophecy? There will be a war above all wars.
I am writing in response to the violence in Ferguson, Mo. It truly hurts me to see what is happening there. My thoughts and my prayers go out to the family of Michael Brown.
Have we forgotten that prayer changes things, not violent protesting? It is time to "let go and let God." Look up to where our help comes from. He answers prayers in his time, not ours.
Help Mr. Brown's family. Don't hurt them in the way you are protesting.
Peace and calm are the keys to this situation. Jesus said it, "Peace be still."
There is near unanimity that the condition of our state's roads is in serious decline. However, there is debate as to why. Our roads are an asset, and as with most assets their condition can be measured by numbers.
What follows are figures that must be considered to make South Carolina's roads and bridges as safe and smooth as they were a generation ago.
S.C. Taxes and Fees
u South Carolina ranks No. 4 among 50 states in miles of state-maintained roads with 41,460 miles
u South Carolina ranks No 3 among states in lowest fuel tax
This is a partial response to Sandy McGarry's article, "Local voters have clear choice in solicitor's race," in the Aug. 31 edition of The Lancaster News.
Ms. McGarry states that her candidate, Randy Newman, is a "passionate" prosecutor. This implies to me that he is a "soft" prosecutor who would not waste time indicting criminals, but let them go on "probation" to free up the backlog of pending criminal cases in our 6th Circuit.
John Richard's letter addressing the ills displayed by grocery store shoppers in the Aug. 31 edition of The Lancaster News probably earned him "Atta Boys" from readers all over the region.
With the new school year, parents' attention is turning to school lunches. Traditionally, then U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) had used the National School Lunch Program as a dumping ground for surplus meat and dairy commodities.
Children consumed animal fat and sugary drinks, to the point where one-third have became overweight or obese. Their early dietary flaws became lifelong addictions, raising their risk of diabetes, heart disease and stroke.
Each year in America, texting drivers cause more than 100,000 automobile crashes resulting in death or life-changing injuries.
At AT&T, we are serious about wanting consumers to enjoy the benefits of wireless technology, while also using their mobile devices wisely and safely. So we launched the It Can Wait campaign, a national initiative designed to raise awareness of the dangers of texting while driving and to hopefully save lives by changing behavior.
In nearly 40 years as a lawyer, and 35 years as a law professor, I have seldom read or heard comments that demonstrated a greater lack of understanding about the American legal system than the letter from Sandy McGarry that appeared in the Aug. 31 issue of The Lancaster News.
That the letter was written by someone who is a local leader of a major political party made that lack of understanding even more disappointing.

Most U.S. stocks rose, with the Standard & Poor's 500 Index poised for its biggest weekly rally in 13 months, after data showed employers added workers in December at about the same pace as the prior month.
Eli Lilly & Co. jumped 3.8 percent as it forecast 2013 earnings above analyst expectations. Citigroup Inc. advanced 1.4 percent after Goldman Sachs Group Inc. added the bank to its conviction buy list. Avon Products Inc. gained 3 percent after Bank of America Corp. raised its rating on the stock. Apple Inc., the world's most valuable company, slumped 2.8 percent for the biggest decline in the S&P 500 as technology shares tumbled.
The S&P 500 added 0.3 percent to 1,462.99 at 11:40 a.m. in New York. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 16.80 points, or 0.1 percent, to 13,408.16 today. More than two stocks rose for each that fell on U.S. exchanges. Trading in S&P 500 companies was in line with the 30-day average at this time of day.
"It's not an incredibly strongly labor market but it's mending and it's going to continue to take time," Greg Woodard, a strategist at Manning & Napier in Fairport, New York, which manages about $40 billion, said by telephone. "The market realized there's some outside help. The Fed continues to provide a lot of liquidity. We got some resolution on a lot of uncertainty, although we pushed that uncertainty two months down the road."
Payrolls rose by 155,000 workers last month following a revised 161,000 advance in November that was more than initially estimated, Labor Department figures showed today in Washington. The median estimate of 82 economists surveyed by Bloomberg called for a increase of 152,000. The unemployment rate held at 7.8 percent, matching the lowest since December 2008.
Services Index
A separate release from the Institute for Supply Management showed its index of U.S. non-manufacturing businesses rose to 56.1 in December from 54.7 a month earlier. The median forecast of 66 economists surveyed by Bloomberg projected a decline to 54.1.
The S&P 500 has risen 4.2 percent this week, its largest advance since December 2011, and yesterday climbed within one point of its highest closing level in five years before retreating. The gauge soared 2.5 percent on Jan. 2 after Republicans and Democrats agreed on a compromise budget that avoided the so-called fiscal cliff of sweeping tax increases and spending cuts.
The equity benchmark surged 13 percent in 2012, its biggest annual rally in three years, as the Federal Reserve expanded asset purchases and the European Central Bank announced an unlimited bond-buying plan. Stocks slipped yesterday after Fed policy makers said they will probably end their $85 billion monthly bond-purchase program sometime in 2013.

Open source PHP web app development framework Symfony is charging its developer community batteries in a busy month. This September sees the Symfony Live London event staged, the release of Symfony 2.1.0 RC2, and the arrival of the Symfony 2.0.17 iteration.
Originally conceived by Sensio Labs for the development of websites for its own customers, the product now exists as a full stack framework, Symfony2 is also a collection of standalone components that can be used on their own outside the framework.
The framework is, in a sense, a "pick and mix" of components that can be used as a part of smaller projects. As such, they are introduced as a way of refactoring legacy code and can even be incorporated as part of other frameworks. Symfony components are already being used in libraries such as Doctrine2 (an Object Relational Mapper for database abstraction) and Guzzle (a PHP HTTP Client) as well as PHPBB4, the PPI Framework, and EZPublish.
NOTE: Symfony Live London features workshops for both beginners and experts. There will be conference talks from key members of the community including creator of Drupal Dries Buytaert. Attendees also have the chance to sit an exam to become certified Symfony developers.
To demonstrate its growth, Drupal developers are also incorporating Symfony2 components into Drupal 8, a step that Sensio suggests has the web community debating what Symfony2 can bring to the table.
According to Yair Spitzer, CEO of Sensio Labs UK, "Drupal developers have always prided themselves on innovation and are constantly looking for new ways to improve and better their model. Developers who have previously shied away from using the Drupal framework will be encouraged by the inclusion of Symfony components to further push innovation and improve code quality. Nevertheless, Drupal is growing fast and with demand for it ever increasing, adopting Symfony's many reuseable components has enabled them to enhance their own strong architecture with another strong architecture."
How We "Innovated" PHP
Symfony's developers insist that it has tried to "bring innovation to PHP" as it was one of the first major frameworks to embrace PHP 5.3, to introduce the usage of a Dependency Injection container, and to use a templating engine for its templates by default, Twig, which is now also adopted by major CMSes like Drupal and eZpublish.
It also looks outside PHP to draw inspiration from the best practices, libraries, and frameworks of other languages — Java, Python, etc. Symfony2 focuses on best practices and writing clean, readable, and testable (and well tested) code. The use of Dependency Injection along with the service container and event dispatcher make for flexible code that you can build on to ensure your application has high standards of code quality.
Symfony project developer Fabien Potencier blogs this week saying, "I've just released the second release candidate for Symfony 2.1.0. This release contains several security fixes related to the way XML is handled, and as such, we recommend everyone to upgrade. These issues have been also fixed in Symfony 2.0. After upgrading, run the web/config.php script from your browser and theapp/check.php script from the CLI to check if your PHP environment is setup properly. As we have added new checks, you might find some stuff to tweak."
Symfony2 favors configuration over convention so it can be reconfigured to suit the needs of a project. In the interests of freedom and happiness in the Open Source community, the framework is not in competition with any other frameworks as Symfony2 can be incorporated into any other framework to develop and enhance it.

LONDON (AP) Roger Federer advanced to the semifinals at the ATP finals with a match to spare.
The six-time champion earned his second straight victory at the season-ending tournament, this time beating David Ferrer 6-4, 7-6 (5) on Thursday.
But it wasn't so easy for the 17-time Grand Slam champion, who improved his record to 14-0 against Ferrer. Two days after controlling his opening match against Janko Tipsarevic with a dominating serve, Federer faced 10 break points and saved nine of them.
In the late Group B match, Tipsarevic will face Juan Martin del Potro.

A 9-year-old girl who became pregnant when she was 8 gave birth to a healthy baby in western Mexico.
The baby, a boy, was born via C-section and weighed close to six pounds.
The birth occurred at a hospital in Guadalajara, Jalisco, on January 27, but became public Wednesday. Local authorities said the father is a 17-year-old who fled when he found out about the pregnancy.
"We want to find the young man who was responsible to know his version, because she (the mother) is not able to understand the significance of their actions," said the prosecutor in the case, Jorge Villasenor, to Mexican daily Milenio. "This is a case of rape or child sexual abuse."
Both mother -- named Dafne -- and child are at home and healthy, said Dr. Enrique Rabago, director of Zoquipan Hospital. They are monitoring the development of the baby closely given his mother's young age.
According to media reports, the girl and the father briefly knew each other, and the father wanted to move into her house but she refused – so he moved out of town. The prosecutor's office in the state of Jalisco said they may press charges, and are willing to request cooperation from neighboring state authorities if necessary.
According to ABC News, Dafne is one of 11 children and lives in Ixtlahuacan de los Membrillos, a poor town 25 miles south of Guadalajara.
"Her parents work all day and were not watching after her," Lino Ginzalez Corona, spokesperson at Jalisco State Prosecutor's Office, told ABC News. "And therefore didn't realize what was about to happen."
About 25 percent of the women who gave birth at that hospital were teenagers.

Happy Valentines Day everyone! I love this holiday. Not so much for the typical aspects of it, because truth be told I'm a fairly frugal one and I just can't see the point in spending lots of money on flowers and candy. However I do love something about Valentines Day cards. I always have. Even back in grade school Valentines Day was my favorite holiday to celebrate at school. I loved picking out the perfect note for the perfect person and delivering it to their Valentines Box....or....lucky Mr. Christopher Anderson in 5th grade....he got the special homemade Valentine from me, his secret admirer. Hmmm...I wonder if he ever figured out who that was from? :)
Anyhow, today's Steal, the Die Cuts With A View Card Kits, are the perfect "go to" when making cards. Hands down I cannot say enough good about having these cards on hand. I love that they are pre-cut to the perfect size and have an envelope included. No more cutting down expensive sheets of cardstock that could be used on a layout, in order to create a card!
For this weeks Monday Card Madness, rather than providing a sketch, your challenge is to create a Valentine for a loved one and let them know how important they are to you.
I took a stroll through our Facebook Fan Page, and gathered up all of the Valentines / Love cards that I could find as of recent to share with you here to use as inspiration. (Just hover over the card to see the name of the talented designer.)
Now I know that you are all waiting on pins and needles to find out who the lucky winner of the We R Memory Keepers Cinch Bundle giveaway is.
Our lucky winner is comment poster number 12.
Kyla Dawn Norris!
Congrats Kyla! If you will send your address to firstname.lastname@example.com, we will get it sent to our wonderful friends at We R Memory Keepers and they will get your Cinch sent out to you.
Just a reminder to make sure you post your creations to our Facebook Fan Page or personal blog, along with a link here in the comments in order to be eligible for our monthly Monday Card Madness drawing.
Also be sure to check in tomorrow for part two of our amazing organization How To'sday!
Happy Valentines Day. <3

I haven't been running for a few months, and since I really want to run barefoot, I decided to restart very slowly....
Last week, I started running a couple of hundreds of yards every other day, and thought about continuing to slowly add 100 yards a day this week, and start with a barefoot C25K next week.
But then I realized that on W1D1 of C25K I would only been running about the same distance as I planned to run today, but in separate intervals, so I decided I wasn't going to wait any longer... And by starting C25K, although I wouldn't actually run more, but I would be covering more distance, thanks to the walking intervals, and I would have the feeling as being running again.
I used a different app to record my run, and this one doesn't give me the same data as Sports Tracker does, but at least I could see that my HR didn't exceed MAF - 5 (i.e. 126).
It felt a bit strange to stop running after only 60 seconds, but I know that the intervals will be longer soon, and I know that during my transition to barefoot running I have to go very slow...
No blisters, no aching calves (at least not now... perhaps tomorrow. I felt my calves after my first 100 barefoot yards, but that was the only time.)
Running in BelgiumAnn
It should be W1D3 of C25K, but I decided to use that good old Start2Run scheme again that I have been using in the past...
Start2Run comes in different flavors, but while I used the 6 week version before (when I hadn't been running for a few months), I take the default, 10-week version.
So today W1D1: 1-1-2-2-3 minutes of running, with the same amount of walking minutes in between.
My previous barefoot runs, I always started in eastern direction, which means nothing but smooth concrete.
Today I went in the opposite direction, where the road changes to very rough asphalt (with pebbles 1-2 inches across), and then the tow path along the canal which has chip-seal with rather fine gravel.
And I don't know if this a common observation, but especially on the rougher surface of the asphalt, I found walking harder than running.
My running pace was rather quick, too quick in fact: although my average HR was below MAF-10, my maximum heart rate was around 150.
Petco Run/Walk/Wag 5k
And I don't know if this a common observation, but especially on the rougher surface of the asphalt, I found walking harder than running.
Ann - I have found the same thing on small pebble gravel in my neighborhood. I find that more rapid turnover feels easier, that's also what BF Ken Bob said in his book. A faster turnover, with bent knees (more of a squat) makes for a lighter mid-foot landing that (should) hurts less. I'm still working on it because the faster turnover increases HR for me! So I stick to concrete and asphalt for the most part.
Glad to see you restart C25K, sounds like a reasonable way to ease into BF, although many give it a longer transition time. I think you have been trying for awhile so it should work. Listen to your body and back off, maybe doing some weeks twice if you start to feel it to strongly in calves and Achilles. Also avoid hills at this point as they also aggravate calves and Achilles.

W1D3 of Start2Run today...
About the same scheme as my previous run, and since the sun has been shining a lot today, the asphalt felt warm, but not hot under my bare feet...
(Until now, it has been a rather cold and wet summer here in Belgium... I'm glad we were in the US for three weeks in July! But for the next few days, we'll have temperatures around 25°C/77° F - Still not what you expect a hot summerday, but at least it is nice enough to be outside a lot...)
Still no blisters, no sore calves... So far the transition to running barefoot seems to go rather smooth.
W1D5 of Start2Run
I took 2 instead of 1 day off... I slept bad for a few nights; and thought it was wiser - remembering what I read in Phil Maffetones book - to take one more day of rest.
No sore calves, nor blisters...
And since my cardiopulmonary condition isn't bad either, I feel a bit tempted to accelerate my transition, but I really, really don't want to get injured, so I stick with this program...
Glad to see you back, Ann-V
Michele in NC
I know Bob, and I'll do...
Once again, I took two days instead of one day rest...
On Sunday, while walking around in my garden barefoot, I stepped on a large stone; and bruised my right feet: just in the soft spot of the arch.
It's a rather large blue bruise, but I only feel it when I'm shod, not barefoot...
And later on the same day, again in my garden, there was a tiny little pruning of our hawthorn hedge on the ground, with a not so tiny thorn... And indeed, that thorn ended up in my right big toe... It did hurt for a few minutes, but I forgot about it quickly, until late that evening the pain came back. I feared it would go festering, but luckily it didn't.
But because of those minor injuries, I didn't run on Monday. My next run was on Tuesday, and it went perfect again. Wednesday restday.
So I should have ran today, but I came home from work at 6.00 PM, had to prepare dinner, and at about 8.00 friends came over to visit...
We have some really nice summer weather at last, so we sat in the garden, drank some wine... And no, I'm not going to run in pitch dark anymore.
Tomorrow is another day, and then I'll run for sure...
I enjoyed my run today...During the very first running interval, I felt an annoying pain under the metatarsal joint of my right smallest toe. It felt as if a pointed stone was sticking to my sole there. But when I tried to pay attention to lifting my feet immediately after landing, it quickly vanished...
W2D1... and I think I will be able to run 3 days in the next week...
Running interfalls totalled 14 minutes. It was a hot day (35°C, 95°F), so I waited till after sunset. But we're not used to these temperatures, so maybe that was the reason it didn't went well. The first part of my run is very rough chip&seal, and like during my last run I felt a sharp pain under the metatarsal head of my right pinky toe on that part of the run. Like if a sharp stone was sticking in my feet there. On friday I was able to make it go away by paying attention to my form (picking up my feet), but not today. Now, it feels as if I would have some blisters if I would have run farther.
Ann - I just got back from bus trip and am glad to see your still getting out there. Sorry to hear about the little toe. Have you tried icing it after a run, might help a bit. I'm guessing but wonder if you might be rolling that foot a bit causing that irritation to occur. BF Ken Bob talks about lifting feet straight up and down by shortening stride and squatting a bit. Squatting seems to force lifting of feet rather than rolling etc. It can feel strange but helps with landing lightly etc. I still get some rotation in right heel - which is why I hole socks in about 8miles! Say that's something you might try on the chip seal (I hate it still! LOL). Put on a pair of socks (also one of the stories in BF Ken Bob's book - talks about one person who used socks to improve form and can now run without holing socks)
3.5 weeks into transitioning to barefoot. Start2Run 6w - W1D3. Running interfalls totalled 17 minutes. During my warmup/cooldown walk I was wearing my huaraches. The running part went much better than last sunday. No pain under my foot - just on that moment that I stepped on a sharp stone (it was rather dark towards the end of my run). Probably the last really warm day of the year, the weather is changing, and my next run will be in the rain I guess.
@Bobev: Today I wore huaraches while walking on the chipseal. That way I felt more relaxed when I started to run (still on the chipseal), and it was much better. I hadn't read your comment yet, but I noticed that my running went better while really paying attention to the way I lift my feet (I have Ken Bobs book too...)I remember that a few months ago, you already wrote about wearing socks... when it's getting colder here, I'll probably do that too.
And once again a few days off...
On Wednesday I have been mowing my flowermeadow with the scythe, and when I was cleaning the blade at the end, I cut in my hand. Rather deep, but luckily no tendons cut. It needed a few stitches and I got a tetanus shot.
The stitches aren't the problem, but my shoulder - where I got the shot - is hurting like hell... It took me 15 minutes to dress this morning.
And of course I run with my legs, but because it's so difficult to move that left arm, I guess my form would be severely compromised.
Its hard to maintain proper form when arms don't move smoothly. We are integrated systems! Hope its loosened up by now
Run/Walk, running intervals totaled 23 minutes.
It went fine, and for the first time since MAF-training, I had to speed up instead of slowing down to reach my MAF-HR... Not a bad feeling!
