As Drupal is in the process of considering how to restructure code to best leverage the PSR-0 standard, I figured it would be wise to take a quick survey of how some other major projects organize their code bases. This is not a complete rundown of every project, simply roughly comparable notes for those areas Drupal is currently discussing. I am posting it here in the hopes that it will be useful to more than just Drupal.
Note: This is based on one evening's work of poking around. If you work with one of these projects and have more information to provide or want to correct a mistake I made, please do so in the comments!
Cake is not a PHP 5.3 system, but its classes appear to be structured in a very PSR-0-friendly way.
Cake has a top level "lib" directory that is "we wrote this, go away" (similar to /core for Drupal). There's another top-level "vendor" directory that is explicitly for 3rd party stuff. There is also a second Vendor directory for app-specific third party stuff. It looks like that's similar to sites/all/modules vs. sites/default/modules, as Cake can host multiple apps on one install.
Cake stores its unit tests in the src/Cake/Test directory. There is an app/Test directory pre-created to hold application-specific tests.
Symfony-namespaced code lives in /src. Non-Symfony-namespaced code that ships with Symfony is placed in /vendor. Curiously, it is not included in the GitHub repository nor are there git submodules. Instead, there is a vendors.php command line script that git clones the dependent repositories. Essentially it's a manual git submodule setup. I do not understand why.
The documentation (links above) suggests that users should install their own 3rd party dependencies in /vendor as well. I... really don't think that's a good idea. :-)
Symfony namespaces its tests to Symfony\Tests (note the plural), but stores them in a /tests directory, not in /src where Symfony itself goes. They are in a mirroring namespace tree to the code being tested.
Bundles (the closest equivalent to Drupal modules) ship with their own tests in a Tests directory/namespace, below the directory/namespace of the bundle.
Silex has a /src directory that contains Silex itself, the Silex-namespaced classes. Any non-Silex namespaced code (Pimple, Symfony2 components, Doctrine, Monolog, etc. It's actually a very similar list to Symfony the framework.) lives in /vendor. In the development repository they are referenced as git submodules.
Silext namespaces its tests to Silex\Tests (note the plural), but stores them in a /tests directory, not in /src where Silex itself goes.
CodeIgnighter is not a PHP 5.3 PSR-0 framework, so its code is not organized for it. I mention it anyway for completeness.
At the top level are an /application directory for a particular install and a /system directory for CI-provided code. The /system directory appears to be clustered in a way that would likely fit a PSR-0 model fairly easily and contains almost exclusively class-per-file files.
The /application directory is setup as a skeleton of a working application. There is even a directory called third_party, the use of which I presume is as one would expect.
I can't seem to find unit tests in the main repository. There's a custom base class for one, but there doesn't appear to be an obvious place to put system-provided tests nor app-specific tests. Odd. Perhaps I'm missing something.
Zend Framework 2
Zend-namespaced code lives under /library (singular). There's a lot of it. :-) There is also a /modules directory that appears to be for additional 3rd party code components, which have their own /library directory that restarts at a Zend\ namespace. (So /modules/ZendFramework1Mvc/library/Zend/[lots of stuff].)
It's not clear from the code repository if there is a canonical place to put 3rd party libraries that are not Zend modules.
The main framework, as well as each module, has a tests/Zend directory that contains a huge number of test classes, mirroring the path and namespace of the class being tested.
Composer isn't a framework project. It's an application to automate managing dependencies. Although its documentation only hints at it, when you tell composer to resolve and download dependencies for you it will do so and place them all into a vendor/ directory. That does not appear to be configurable.
However, that directory is not the direct root of each package's class tree but the root of the package's download. The exact location within vendor/ where each class tree starts varies with the package. Composer provides its own class loader that has all of that sorted out already for you, but if you have your own class loader then you have to work that out yourself.
|3rd party
|src/Cake/Test, app/Test
|Zend Framework 2
|/modules (seems to require placeholder module?)
|/tests, module/X/tests
And Composer puts everything in /vendor.
I like Kohana (Which is Kohana based), but think it should be /core. Less typing.
For the love of sanity, I would not use PHP Namespace scheme. Over the time it has been introduced, the more I think it was a bad idea. More typing and more chances of collisions. A decent directory structure and decent auto loader will go a long way.
USE \Mylib\Xyz,
\Monkey\Xyz as MonkeyXyz;
$xyz = new Xyz();
$mxyz = new MonkeyXyz();
Proper directory structure and autoloader:
$xyz = new mylib_xyz();
$mxyz = new monkey_xyz();
Well, a decent directory sturcture and decent autoloader is exactly the point of namespaces, and PSR-0 in particular. :-)
Drupal has already decided to adopt PSR-0 namespaces. The question now is "so what do we do with it", essentially.
Kohana doesn't appear to be a PSR-0 framework, and I had enough non-PSR0 frameworks already. :-) That's why I didn't include it.
Yeah - It was a total free
Yeah - It was a total free form somewhat related comment. =)
Basically I would do /core for "core" code =)
er free = free form.
er free = free form.
Underscores are a ridiculous
Underscores are a ridiculous choice when namespaces are available. If you don't want to alias classes, just use the qualified names:
$xyz = new \MyLib\Xyz();
$mxyz = new \Monkey\Xyz();
No need for stupid underscores, and no need to use aliases if you don't like them.
It works exactly like your "proper" example, doesn't have underscores, and will work OUT OF THE BOX with spl_autoload()
So no having to use the 'USE'
So no having to use the 'USE' statement?
The USE statement is just so
The USE statement is just so you can make an Alias to a Class, it's not mandatory.
I suggest you read http://php.net/manual/en/language.namespaces.importing.php
"users should install their
"users should install their own 3rd party dependencies in /vendor as well. I... really don't think that's a good idea. :-)"
It's common practice (see GNU/Linux for example) and it's only normal way, because otherwise you will need to store all dependencies in your repository and check each minute, if one of them was not updated.
composer dependency manager
composer dependency manager an sf2 boundels(self contained apps) seems to me the best tools available, becouse relying on an automation tool and not only on conventions ensure better consinstency
From documentation it seems
From documentation it seems that bundle looks a lot like our Drupal module.
I realise it's part of the
I realise it's part of the PSR-0 spec, but "vendor" implies something has been sold. How does that sit with free, open-source software? Or do these terms not have to relate precisely to English definitions?
PPI Framework
Larry asked me to create a comment on this blog post.
PPI Framework
PPI is a web application framework that's fully namespaced, PSR-0 compliant and running on PHP5.3+
It's code base is built upon libraries such as Symfony2 and Doctrine2, so by default it has great Vendor support.
The framework is in PPI/ folder
The tests are in the PPI/Test/ folder
The vendor libraries are in the Vendor/ folder.
The skeleton application glues all this together in a very simple and accessible manner.
- Paul
The vendor dir is
The vendor dir is configurable with Composer. Just add this to your composer.json:
"config": {
"vendor-dir": "some-other-vendors"
Also, if the vendor package you are installing defines and bin scripts, you can customize where those are installed
"config": {
"bin-dir": "bin"
Composer corrections
You can configure where composer stores libraries it installs by default:
"config": {
"vendor-dir": "custom/path/for/vendor"
See https://github.com/composer/composer/blob/master/README.md
We don't recommend changing it, to keep things familiar across projects, but it is possible. Custom installers allow you to install some types of packages in a different location than others, if that is desired.
Furthermore composer does not only generate an autoloader but also a namespace map (a simple array). So if you want to use your own autoloader you can still use that array to get all the information about namespaces and directories installed by composer.
Since composer is meant for third party code only, any directory format for your own code (src/, lib/, tests/ etc.) works fine with composer. You can actually add any such directory to composer's automatically generated autoloader rather easily as well.
I believe you misunderstood the way Symfony2 is handled. The Symfony2 github repository only contains the "library" code, and that sits in src/ as you pointed out. However, when you want to create a Symfony project, you use https://github.com/symfony/symfony-standard or other "distribution". Those distributions are what is really more comparable to Drupal or most other frameworks. It is the application shell in which you put your code (in src/), and it contains the Symfony library in vendor/ as well as all other third-party code.
As far as your application is concerned, Symfony is an implementation detail, not your code, there is no reason it should be treated differently than other vendors. That is also why Composer puts everything in vendor/, because you should ideally never have to worry about this stuff and go dig into it.
Exactly! The author didn't
Exactly! The author didn't get the essential of Symfony2 and Composer, they introduced a open standard for package management, rather than build an isolate kingdom of it's own, like every other php framework ever did.
I think it's a great thing for php community, one thing that every good language should have (Rails' bundler and rvm, Python's easy_install and virtualenv, Nodejs' npm, etc. )
I agree that a more viable shared package mechanism is a good thing for PHP. We're trying to coax Drupal toward at least less of an isolated kingdom. It's an uphill battle, as it would be for any project of that size. The goal with this post is to just get a "casual feel" for what is happening outside the castle walls.
It looks like /src and /vendor are the clear conventions, informal though the may be. I didn't want to go into whether Symfony2 or Composer specifically are as magically awesome as you claim. :-) (Although I kinda like both of them so far.)
Aura Project for PHP 5.4
The Aura project provides independent library packages for PHP 5.4+. Aura is not a new one, but the second major rewrite of the Solar PHP Project by Paul M Jones ( The father of PHP Framework Bench Marks https://github.com/pmjones/php-framework-benchmarks ) .
The Aura packages can be used standalone, in concert with each other, or combined into a full-stack framework of their own.
The Aura project also includes a system that composes the independent packages into a full-stack framework. All the Aura packages resides in /package folder .
All the packages are unit tested and aims for 100 % code coverage, it has its own tests folder . Aura follows the psr-0 standard and all the source resides in the src folder with the psr-0 standard.
Currently the third party libraries can be kept in the include folder of the system. As all are using the term vendor I have asked @pmjones to look whether we need a change in the name, so the community has a common name for libraries outside it.

Check here:
Please actually talk w/developers from the projects you survey
Caveat: I'm project lead for Zend Framework.
It's entirely clear from reading your analysis of ZF2's project structure that you:
- Did not look at any of the ZF2 RFCs (which are clearly linked from http://framework.zend.com/zf2, which is in turn linked from our github repository)
- Did not ask on any ZF mailing lists
- Did not talk to any ZF2 contributors
I'll clarify the structure for you, but I have to wonder how well you evaluated other projects, and which projects had folks you were already collaborating with. If you're going to do any sort of honest evaluation, you should definitely state where you're getting your information, and also definitely state how you tried to get in contact with developers from the project -- this ensures an open and transparent process, but also serves as good information to the developers of projects, as they then know how others try and reach out to them, and whether or not they ultimately succeeded.
Also, editorial comments about the relative sizes of projects should be kept to a minimum -- size of a library -- be it small or large -- should not be the consideration. What they offer you and your project is what is of interest here.
Now, as for ZF2 structure...
Suggested project structure is as follows:
config/ autoload/ data/ cache/ module/ (modules -- more below) vendor/ (3rd-party code -- more below) public/ css/ js/ images/
Third party code should go under the "vendor" directory. There are no assumptions made about how code in that directory is installed, and the assumption instead is that you will instantiate appropriate autoloaders in your bootstrap to load this code. In terms of the Zend Framework 2 distribution itself, you would install it as you would any other 3rd party library -- and thus under vendor/.
Modules are the bits and pieces you assemble to create your application. These may be anything -- library code, public assets, or MVC code. MVC code will always be delivered via modules. Our recommended module directory structure looks like this:
{ModuleName}/ Module.php config/ src/ {ModuleName}/ {source code files, often MVC code ...} {OtherNamespace}/ {source code files ...} test/ public/ css/ images/ js/ view/ {view source files here, typically PHP ...}
The "Module.php" should contain a class named "Module" under the {ModuleName} namespace. The ZF2 module manager will consume this to expose the module to the application. However, there is nothing saying that a module must contain MVC code or be specific to the ZF2 MVC layer; this is simply another way to distribute code.
Typically PHP source code, under {ModuleName}/src/, should follow PSR-0 naming conventions, allowing you to use a PSR-0-compliant autoloader. (We actually also recommend shipping a classmap file and/or a file containing a callback for use with spl_autoload_register() to make the module easy to consume in non-ZF2 applications.)
As such, 3rd-party modules will be located under vendor/, while the modules you write specifically for your application will be under module/.
The "modules" directory you found in the ZF2 distribution is a set of code we've removed from the core ZF library and which we intend to distribute as stand-alone ZF2 modules. One of which, the ZendFramework1Mvc module, contains the previous ZF MVC implementation, which we've removed from core in order not to confuse new developers, but retained as a module to provide a potential migration path for developers of ZF1 applications. This module follows the same conventions for modules that I outliend above.
See the intro
Matthew, as I said in the beginning of the post this was not a formal rundown or analysis, just my notes from casually poking through websites and git for about 3 hours. It was not intended to be anything more than that, and I wasn't trying to "privilege" any particular project. I was just looking for trends. You're right, I didn't really talk to devs from any of the projects, although I've been talking to Symfony folks lately since Drupal is adopting some Symfony2 components. That said, thank you for the more detailed explanation of how Zend 2 is organized.
It looks like you're using a similar model to what Symfony2 does, with some of the same terms used. It's actually a bit closer to what Drupal may end up using, although more structured.
For the code under src, assuming it's PSR-0, do you just live with the extra seemingly redundant directories that can result, or do you have some other solution to it? Also, is there any expectation that the Zend namespace is used for anything other than official, "core" modules?
Map-based autoloader
The amount of attention devoted to this is ridiculous. And pressuring a diverse project structure as that of Drupal into a PEAR scheme will of course incur some drama. Is that really worth the buzzword compliance?
Why not use an automap-based autoloader? That's most independent from the discrepancies in directory structures. It might need some professional coding to get progressive updates for directory scans, but the autoloading lookup itself is heaps speedier than with any sort-of rigid directory traversal scheme.
map-base -> cache
Whatever we do, we will still probably end up with a "map-based" autoload cache, for performance reasons. This cache will probably not be stored in the database, though.
The real reason for all this talk, imo, is to agree on standards for how classes should be named and namespaced, and where they should live.
PHP Frameworks (and tools
PHP Frameworks (and tools like composer) are not the only thing using a vendor directory. For example, Ruby on Rails uses a vendor directory as a place for 3rd party code. Using the vendor directory is fairly common and if Drupal continues to deviate from that it would be an exception. Cake, Symfony2, Silex, ZF2, and Rails are all examples here using the vendor directory. Is there a good reason not to use the vendor top level directory name? Ya know, aside from how we handle things (modules/themes) where one version could be in profiles, sites/all, or sites/foo and this would deviate from that pattern (which I'm ok with).
Something to think about with these frameworks is that the entire project isn't always supposed to live within your sites web root. For example, with symfony2 you will often point the web root at the web directory inside a symfony2 install. The src directory is not web accessible. Distinctions like this are important to understand when making our naming conventions.

ROCK HILL, S.C. – Senior forward Courtney Hurt (pictured) posted a double-double with a game high 28 points and 16 rebounds, pacing three VCU players in double figure scoring, and the Rams picked up their third straight road win following a 69-52 victory at Winthrop Sunday afternoon.
VCU (3-2) led by 13 at the break before building a 26-point lead with four minutes left in the game. All 12 VCU players dressed saw at least three minutes of action. The Rams, who remain undefeated on the road with a perfect 3-0 mark, forced 21 Winthrop turnovers, collected 12 blocks and limited the Eagles to just 30.9 percent shooting, including 5 of 24 from 3-point range.
Senior Andrea Barbour added 17 points and six rebounds, while sophomore Robyn Parks chipped in 15 points and six boards for VCU. Barbour and Parks each finished with a game-high three blocks and a pair of assists. It was Hurt's first double-double of the season after leading the nation with 25 a year ago.
Barbour scored 11 of VCU's first 13 points and the Rams jumped out to a 13-7 lead less than six minutes into the game. The Eagles, who cooled off after taking an early five-point advantage, continued to chip away and Dequesha McClanahan scored six straight during a two-minute stretch to tie it up with 11:47 left.
That was as close as Winthrop would get, however, as VCU took control the rest of the way. The Eagles pulled within 17-16 at the 9:35 mark but the Rams scored 19 of the final 26 points and Hurt gave VCU a 36-23 lead at the break after drilling a 3-pointer from the top of the arc with nine seconds showing.
Barbour and Hurt combined to score 24 points during the opening stanza as VCU shot 44.4 percent from the field, while holding Winthrop to just 28.6 percent shooting. The Rams also forced 11 first-half turnovers.
VCU pushed its lead to 44-26 after scoring eight of the first 11 points in the second half before Winthrop began to mount a comeback. The Eagles quickly cut the lead to 11 on a triple by McClanahan with 13:21 remaining and eventually pulled within nine following a 13-4 spurt.
Parks halted the Winthrop rally with a basket on ensuing possession and VCU used a 22-4 run, building its largest lead of the game on a pair of free throws by Hurt with four minutes to go. The Rams held the Eagles to just two field goals during the nearly eight-minute stretch.
After going up by 26 with four minutes to play, VCU began to clear its bench and saw Winthrop score the final nine points of the game.
VCU returns to the Verizon Wireless Arena on Dec. 1 when it hosts cross-town rival Richmond at 7 p.m. The Rams then open Colonial Athletic Association play when they entertain Northeastern on Dec. 4. VCU plays four of its next five games at home.

A new club in Sun City wants to educate residents about a new healthy path to avoid processed foods.
It is simple: Eat smart and live longer. That is the motto for the Eat Smart, Live Longer club as the name suggests. Three sisters and their partners have abandoned meat and dairy, eating a whole food, plant-based diet.
Karen Heitman, Leslie Haas and Mary Lou Beavers changed their eating habits after watching a documentary, "Forks over Knives." The sisters watched the movie more than a year ago, but recently decided to revisit its research.
The documentary examines the claim that most, if not all, degenerative diseases that afflict people can be controlled, or even reversed, by rejecting the present menu of animal-based and processed foods.
The light bulb went on in Haas' head after traveling and indulging in foods she knew weren't healthy for her.
"I hadn't connected the dots yet that the agriculture, dairy and meat industry had been fooling everyone," Haas said. "There is the science to prove that more people are healthy when they eat whole foods."
Haas said since she and her sisters have committed to a new way of life, the group has lessened the medicine they take and lost many pounds without even trying. Her cholesterol numbers are down along with her blood pressure.
The family decided their new eating habits were worth sharing.
"The buzz about our club has been gratifying," Heitman said. "As a person who was eating the standard American diet only five months ago, I cannot believe how much better I feel now that I'm not eating animal products or processed foods."
For Mary Lou Beavers and her husband Wes Beavers, the couple has taken it slow when it comes to changing their pantry to only whole foods.
With a reluctant husband, Mary Lou Beavers began on her own by changing her meals at breakfast and lunch then adding more vegetables and fruits to dinner. The couple rarely eats chicken or fish, but have cut out red meat completely.
Because of her beginning stages of osteoporosis, Mary Lou Beavers was adamant about cutting out dairy and eggs, but through a routine check-up at the doctors she discovered she's improved her calcium levels.
"We use to love eating at Five Guys, but since we've changed over we've noticed the differences not only in our waistlines but the inside of our bodies are feeling better, too," she said.
Her husband decided to join the rest of the family after watching the "Forks over Knives" movie. His cholesterol, blood pressure and glucose levels have improved in a couple of months.
The Beavers always ate a balanced diet, but decided to join a somewhat vegan lifestyle after discovering the results and being shown that menu items were easy to make. Haas enjoys making stirfry with fresh vegetables from the Beavers garden in Sun City.
The Beavers, Heitmans and Haas want to share their dietary changes in order to help others. After the group showed the documentary "Forks over Knives" at a fitness center in the community, more than 60 people were interested in forming the club.
Heitman hopes to raise the awareness that people don't have to feel fragile as they age.
"Through a whole food, plant-based lifestyle, we can get off our medications, gain energy and lose weight effortlessly," Heitman said.
The first meeting was held Thursday, but will continue each month to provide club members with education and testimonials of their dietary lifestyle. The club plans to show "Forks over Knives" at one of the upcoming meetings.
"We want to educate the community about the eating changes that are simple to make so they can then make an informed decision whether they want to participate," Haas said. "Whether its a gradual decision or they decide to clean out their fridge that night, we want to raise awareness that eating smart is a healthy decision and they can make it with our support."
What: Eat Smart, Live Longer club
Cost: $10/year
Details: To join or receive more information about the club, call Karen Heitman at 705-3378 or email email@example.com.

Minnesota storms back to beat Penn St. 68-65
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — DeAndre Mathieu scored 16 points and Andre Hollins added 14 as Minnesota overcame a late six-point deficit to defeat Penn State 68-65 Wednesday.
Four late free throw conversions by Malik Smith in the final 30 seconds and one by Elliott Eliason with 33 seconds, enabled the Gophers (13-3, 2-1 Big Ten) to hang on after taking its first lead of the second half with 1:43 remaining.
Tim Frazier scored 20 points for Penn State (9-7, 0-3) but fouled out with 2:08 left with Penn State leading 59-57.
Mathieu forced back-to-back Penn State turnovers, including a strip of John Johnson and his ensuing basket gave the Gophers a 63-60 lead and forced Penn State to foul.
The Nittany Lions' Allen Roberts missed a game-tying 3-point shot with 1 second to go.
Minnesota, which has won 30 out of 40 games in its series with Penn State, also got 11 points and 12 rebounds from Eliason.
Penn State has floundered in the second half in Big Ten losses to Michigan State and Illinois but led for most of the second half until Frazier fouled out.
They opened the final 20 minutes against Minnesota with Frazier scoring on a drive and Ross Travis, who scored 18 points, slamming a dunk off a steal and feed from Frazier.
Minnesota's Hollins stemmed that momentum with a baseline drive and 3-pointer from the corner to pull to within 42-39.
The Gophers worked their way to a 51 tie when Mathieu sank two fouls but Penn State's Travis rolled in a layup, Frazier sank a shot over the 6-foot-11 Eliason and Brandon Taylor hit a 3-pointer for a 58-53 lead.
Minnesota grabbed its first lead, 60-59, of the second half with 1:40 left when Mathieu tapped in a Hollins miss, but Travis tied it at 60.
Penn State outscored Minnesota 28-13 over the final 10 minutes of the first half despite taking nearly seven minutes to convert its first field goal. The Nittany Lions opened play with two turnovers, two shots blocked and five more missed as the Gophers opened leads of 7-0 and 12-2.

Immigrants Rising: Archive of Coverage
In December 2005, the US House of Representatives voted to adopt the harshly anti-immigrant House Resolution 4437, prompting a wave of opposition that has grown into the largest display of decentralized, coordinated protest in US history. The protests successfully stalled the adoption of parallel legislation in the Senate and have grown into a call for the full enfranchisement of all immigrant workers. Mobilizing continues to build a general strike on May 1, 2006. Organizers say they seek real immigration reform that is comprehensive, respects civil rights, reunites families, protects workers, and offers a path to citizenship for the current undocumented and future immigrants to the US.

Voz campaign to keep the MLK Jr. Worker Center
From the open publishing newswire: Voz is a worker's rights education project that protects basic rights and provides education for day laborers in Portland. In 2008, the organization opened the MLK Jr. Worker Center as an initiative of the City of Portland to increase the safety and equity of the Central Eastside Industrial District. It has since become an important community institution, as it has decreased public safety concern now that less people congregate on the street to look for work and disrupt area businesses.
The center also provides accountability to employers and sets a minimum wage of $10 per hour (possibly $12 currently) to protect workers from exploitation. The MLK Jr. Worker Center has generated over 16,000 jobs for Portland area day laborers. Voz's 5-year lease on the center ended in June 2013 and the property can be sold as early as December per their month-to-month lease contract starting in July. Mobilizing our community around a permanent home for this center is urgent!
Voz is building community support from area business owners, employers, allies, individuals and unions. Please join them in their efforts to ensure a permanent home for the MLK Jr. Worker Center.

Fear Conquers All: My Afternoon with Oregonians for Immigration Reform
From the open publishing newswire: Gary "Rusty" Fleming was a no-show at the Salem Public Library on Saturday January 26th, but in spite of this over 75 people turned out for the OFIR-hosted screening of his film "Drug Wars: Silver or Lead." The film is a bloody romp through the lawless world that is the US and Mexico border. The movie was written and produced by Gary "Rusty" Fleming, filmmaker and volunteer public information officer in Hudspeth County, Texas.
Oregonians for Immigration Reform are an interesting bunch of folks. Their members actively write to local publications, chastising journalists for not referring to undocumented people as "illegal-immigrants" and calling for the implementation of the highly unreliable E-verify system. Last month the Federation for Immigration Reform (FAIR) released a publication entitled "The Fiscal Burden of Illegal-Aliens on Oregonians," which OFIR proudly makes references to in their endless stream of guest opinion columns and letters to the editor. The report is lousy with exaggerated numbers and fully acknowledges that it has no data on the immigration status of foreign-born students, but claims that 75% of the US-born children of undocumented immigrants will need Limited English Proficiency instruction. OFIR hasn't shut up about this report since it came out and it didn't take long to learn something about this group: they're ticked off, they're vocal, and they're scared to hell of pretty much everything. This event was no exception to the rule, and OFIR had been hyping it since December with urgency and panic in every website update, one of which insisted:
It opened with a quote that stated "The first terrorist in this country was a drug dealer, and nobody did anything about it." The film didn't go on to elaborate exactly who this first terrorist was, because we were immediately plunged into a montage with real-life footage of bodies lying in the street, SWAT teams swarming into buildings, and assorted white powders on cracked mirrors. This was interspersed with reenactments of shoot outs filmed in pick-n-pull lots where Mexican gangsters in red bandannas and white tank tops hid out amongst piles of old junky cars.[...]
"The producer of the documentary recommends that children as young as 10 should see this movie. Gangs and cartels are targeting even younger children now. Shockingly, eight year olds are the new cartel target for drug addiction. Every child is at risk." [...]
Sheriff Staton fails to end deportations in Multnomah County
From the open publishing newswire: On Monday, December 10th, various organizations from the ACT for Justice and Dignity network held a rally and press conference to call on Multnomah County Sheriff Daniel Staton to stop honoring Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) holds. ICE holds and deportations are responsible for separating families and causing local and state governments to pay the cost for federal immigration enforcement. Local organizations have been working for years to stop the Multnomah County Sheriff from deporting people in our communities. After the meeting with organizers, Sheriff Staton said that he would announce his decision the following Monday at 3pm.
Today [12.17.12] activists returned to 501 SE Hawthorne Blvd. to show their ongoing support towards ending collaborations between the Multnomah County Sheriff and Immigrations and Customs Enforcement. Earlier in the day, a group that included Commissioner Amanda Fritz had met with Sheriff Staton and expected a follow-up response at 3pm. A number of people gathered on the ground floor where the Portland Radical Choir sang revised Christmas carols, harmoniously calling for an end to deportations. At 3pm the group went up to Sheriff Staton's office, crowding the lobby and spilling into the hallway. The sheriff was a no-show at press time, opting instead to send two representatives, one of whom remarked (emphasis mine):
"He (Sheriff Staton) feels like for today he's made his statements and received your information," adding "He has more information to consider now."
Not at all satisfied with his I-don't-feel-like-it-attitude, members of the crowd insisted that Sheriff Staton come out to speak to them directly, and the Radical Choir kept everyone entertained as his representatives were sent to try and summon him from his office. The sheriff still refused to show and it was clear that he had no interest in addressing the community, even though he had confirmed that he would during the previous meeting. [...]

From the open publishing newswire: On human rights day in Portland Oregon, protesters and local activists occupied three key locations with one of them being the east Multnomah building in southeast Portland where they aimed to hold Sheriff Daniel Staton accountable for the county ICE immigration holds that target hispanic americans as well as other minorities and often times ends in deportation and separation of familys.
joeanybody.com Report-Back Newswire
The california law that has now spread into federal law, mandates that those deemed "suspicious" of being illegal aliens be subject to federal INS holds under the "discression" of the county, and is not mandatory. Over 100 people attended this rally and demonstration, and all of them proceeded to enter the building as it was verified that Sheriff Staton was in his office. A conference was arranged by a staff member and delegates met with him to discuss his role in placing the ICE holds and to ask him to stop the federal-county collaborations. County Commission Chair Jeff Cogen was also notified and came down to address the mass of citizens with a positive statement. This action was organized by Portland Jobs With Justice, ACT, Dream Activists, VOZ, PCASC, and other Portland Occupiers. A decision will be made on monday 12/17 by Sheriff Staton and protesters plan to rally once again at 3pm in hopes that his decision will be to not comply any longer with ICE holds.

The longer I am a parent, the more convinced I am that God told us to be fruitful and multiply so we could have a small taste of how He views us.
There's the baby stage. We're needy, but altogether loving. I think of all the hours we spend staring at our little ones as they lay on the floor, or toddle around, or clap their hands together. Does it put a big grin on the Heavenly Father's face to see us in the early stages of knowing Him?
And then comes the terrible twos. And threes.
We are so rebellious it can be funny sometimes. We question everything, absolutely, just to see what the limits are. We are wild in our rebellion and yet needy to the core.
I imagine, somewhere, that it tapers off. (At least I pray that it does. My daughter is still 4, and if her rebellion doesn't dissipate soon I may have to go to the asylum.) When I consider my Christian walk I think it's much like growing from a child to an adult: there are some rough patches, some times where I don't even want to be close to Him. There are times of sweetness. There are times when I fall on my face and wonder what on earth I did to deserve such trials. And there are times when I just am, passing through without wonder but without hurt, either.
I can't imagine all the lessons I will learn as a parent as my children travel through adolescence. It's scary, and crazy, but the best visual aid about God I've ever been given.
Do you find yourself wondering if God sees you as a toddler sometimes? What things do we do as Christians that are an awful lot like a small child?

I'm looking to join a doubles team or find a hitting partner for singles or doubles practice. I played tons of tennis in Atlanta for 2-3 years about 5 years ago, and now I'm looking to get back into it. I left off somewhere between a 3.0 and 3.5, so I would probably start off as a 2.5 and quickly move to a 3.0. I live and work from home in Walnut Creek, so I'm very available unless I'm traveling.
I'd prefer to play within 5 miles from the Walnut Creek area. Since I work from home, I can be available to hit during the day or after work, and most times on weekends. Please let me know if you'd like to go hit a few...

Hi Frank,
I am in Concord, right next to Willow Pass Park, and I wouldn't mind playing in Walnut Creek. I am just looking to improve my skills with some good rallying, and possibly some matches once I feel more comfortable. I played a few weeks ago with a friend(he is a tennis instructor in Larkspur) and he said I am around a 3.0. That was my first time playing in over 10 years. I can play thursday through Sunday, after 5:30 on week days. Let me know if you want to play sometime.
Hi guys,
I live in Pleasant Hill and really looking for a player to rally or do some matches with. I would say I am a 3.00-3.5. I am 20 but still down to rally with anyone. Give me a call if interested 925 7689106
Brendan Murphy
Hi Brendan,
You interested in hitting tomorrow evening or friday?
Yes. I can play anytime after 4pm tomorrow or friday. Give me a call ahead of time.
HI Mac,
Sorry for the delayed response. I just got back from my honeymoon. I'm around all week and the weather is good. So, let me know if you want to hit at Heather Farms (im a member there), or if you know of a free court, that works too.
Hello there, Frank.
I've been looking for a hitting partner in Walnut Creek. I am not working this week which leaves me a lot of time to hit some balls. Let me know if you're free. I live downtown. Cheers.
I am available weekdays, also Sat and Sun afternoons. I live in Orinda and can drive to WC.

No more mornings spent staring longingly at the glass pastry case at the coffee shop. Make a batch of these chocolate-studded scones ASAP! Ingredients: 1/3 cup light whipped butter or light buttery spread (like Brummel & Brown)
1 cup whole-wheat flour
1/3 cup Splenda No Calorie Sweetener (granulated), or HG Alternative 1/4 cup old-fashioned oats
2 tsp. baking powder
1/8 tsp. cinnamon
1/8 tsp. salt
1/3 cup no-sugar-added applesauce 3 tbsp. low-fat buttermilk 3 tbsp. mini semi-sweet chocolate chips Directions: Spread butter into a 1/4-inch-thick layer on a piece of parchment paper or aluminum foil. (If needed, let it come to room temperature so it's easily spreadable.) Freeze until solid, at least 2 1/2 hours. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick spray. To make the scones, in a large bowl, combine flour, Splenda, oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well. Cut frozen butter into very small cubes. Using two forks, quickly and thoroughly mash butter into the flour mixture, until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add applesauce and buttermilk, and stir until uniform. Fold in chocolate chips. Form dough into a circle on the baking sheet, about 6 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick. Evenly slice into 6 wedges, but don't separate the wedges. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of a scone comes out clean, 12 - 14 minutes. Let cool completely. Once cool, separate wedges, and enjoy! MAKES 6 SERVINGS
Serving Size: 1 scone Calories: 176 Fat: 7g Sodium: 295mg Carbs: 25.5g Fiber: 3g Sugars: 6g Protein: 3.5g PointsPlus® value 5*

Everyone knows that the average cupcake is pretty high in calories. Most people know that muffins generally aren't as innocent (nutritionally speaking) as they appear. But for many folks, scones are a bit of an enigma. They're not OBVIOUSLY fatty... They're sort of light and flaky... They're sometimes considered a breakfast food. We'll end the mystery for you right now... The average scone has around 500 calories and 25g fat, and some have more than 600 calories and 30g fat a pop. THERE. Now you know. Luckily, as long as there are baked goods tempting us with their sweet 'n starchy ways, we'll be concocting lighter versions to replace them... which means we'll be doing this FOREVER. Maybe in the far future, there'll be some crazy space scones with ingredients we haven't even heard of yet. But right now, we're making over the simple -- yet simply irresistible -- chocolate chip scone. It took a little extra effort to get these goodies really scone-like while keeping the calorie and fat counts nice and low. But the result is a batch of incredibly tasty treats -- perfect morning, noon, or night. Try out this recipe, and master your scone technique. This way, when we debut our Martian Berry Scone recipe, you'll be ready...

Brown, the only coach to win both an NBA and an NCAA title, hadn't coached on the college level in 25 years until SMU won its season opener 73-58 over Loyola Marymount on Sunday.
TCU (2-1) played without junior forward Amric Fields, who was hurt only 12 seconds into the game when his right knee buckled awkwardly and he fell to the floor after taking a pass in the lane.
After Fields was helped off the court and to the locker room without putting any weight on his right leg, SMU scored the first five points and never trailed.

Aretha Franklin will r-e-s-p-e-c-t her doctor's orders by canceling all shows and personal appearances through May, a rep for the Queen of Soul said Thursday.
"Her doctors have required her" to bow out of the appearances, publicist Tracey Jordantold The Associated Press.
Jordan provided scant details on the 68-year-old "Respect" singer's condition, and did not say whether the decision to take a six month breather was related to her recent hospitalization in Detroit.
On Tuesday, Jordan told the AP the Grammy-winner was "resting comfortably at home" after a brief stay at Sinai Grace hospital for an undisclosed ailment.
But Franklin was "anxious to get back on the road to perform for her countless fans around the world," her rep had said.
On the list of nixed Franklin appearances are: a Dec. 9 Christmas concert in Detroit and two shows at Radio City Music Hall in New York City in February, the Detroit Free Press reported.
It's looking the stars are conspiring to keep her from performing in New York.
In August, Franklin was forced to bail on a pair of free shows in Brooklyn after suffering broken ribs in a fall.
News of the canceled shows also come two months after the singer's 52-year-old son, Eddie, was savagely beaten at a Detroit gas station.

Walkoffs, playoffs and brushoffs
What's not to love about an 11-inning walkoff win? Especially one where your most dreamy hitting prospect ever comes up with a big two-out two-strike bottom-of-the-ninth hit against one of the best two or three closers in the game to tie the game up. Rosy-cheeked Travis Snider might not be hammering tape measure shots into the 500 Level (yet), but he's looked like he can fit in this lineup, in spite of being the youngest position player in the big leagues.
Oh, and don't forget Johnny McDonald driving in the winning run. That's always good for the soul.
We were all excited yesterday when we discovered that the Advanced A Dunedin Blue Jays had made the Florida State League playoffs. Playoffs! Then this morning, we come to find out that the D-Jays have already been sent packing by the Fort Myers Miracle...who just happen to be the affiliate of the Minnesota Twins. So what goes around...
But don't be too discouraged, faithful Blue Jays Single-A affiliate fans! The Lansing Lugnuts of the Midwest League started their playoff drive last night, albeit with a 3-1 loss to the Dayton Dragons, the Reds' affiliate in the circuit.
We were listening to the game on the radio last night with a head full of NyQuil, so we missed the visuals of Travis Snider's first at bat in Toronto. From the sounds of things (via two outstanding posts from Neate at Out of Left Field and the Drunks), it's just as well that we didn't see it.
Forget it, Jake. It's Hockeytown.

As a non-GTA resident, I'm opening myself up for attack here, but.....I mean......with the Jays out of the race, playing a mid-week game in September, against a non-rival like the Twins.....what did anyone expect from the Toronto crowd? Maybe if the Yankees or Red Sox were in town and there was still a shit reaction, sure. I guess what I'm saying is.....it's not exactly a state fucking secret that the percentage of hardcore actual BASEBALL fans (ie: the ones who would know what a special player Snider is/will be) in the city pales in comparison to the casual "oh, the Jays are playing tonight? Are they winning this year?" types.
So....I just think Wilner was a little over the top about the whole thing, personally.
Related but unrelated, people complaining about the Snider crowd reaction no longer have any right to chastise AJ for his "breakfast, lunch & dinner" comment. Fuck, I've really talked myself into missing him already.

Wilner's specialty is to be extreme.
But I do think the actual broadcast crew should have known better.

Wilner might have laid it on thick, but given the fact that his life's work these days seems to be talking to nincompoops who spout off angry rebukes about anything and everything before they even give it much thought, we'll give him a pass on this.
Besides: Fuck CuJo.
And...Go Nuts!

Don't blame the fans, do blame the Jays/Rogers/whoever. It's their job to promote the players and the team, including blue-chip prospects. There have already been a billion stories about Luke effin' Schenn, and everyone in Toronto knows who he is. Most sports fans in Toronto have no idea who Snider is.
- September 4, 2008 at 8:07 PM
Snider looks like he might be able to play full time on the 2009 Jays. I'de rather keep Snider up here and sign someone like Sheets than sign someone like Giambi.
- September 4, 2008 at 10:44 PM
- dave said...
Oh please no!
I understand being hopeful about the kid but it hasn't even been a week! Not having a consistent big bat is the reason the Jays won't be making the playoffs... again. Bring someone in and give Snider the opportunity to push Overbay out of the lineup.
They cannot put next season on the shoulders of Snider. Cannot.
(that being said, what a game from him)
Go Lugnuts!

Nevermind, they got swept. There goes that.
- September 5, 2008 at 12:07 AM
I agree that it is a risk, but I'de rather put the little money we have to spend in the off season on pitching than on another bat. We have no idea how half of our pitching staff will play next year (McGowan, Litsch, Janssen, Purcey), not to mention losing Burnett. I think the best thing to do is put the money towards pitching.
Our offense for the first half of the season was brutal. But Lind wasn't playing, Wells and Rolen were injured and Rios was hitting poorly. Not to mention Thomas and Stairs were showing their age and Eckstein wasn't the lead off man we wanted him to be. I think they can take the gamble and have Snider as a DH/LF next year.
Anyways I'de much rather put money on someone like Sheets than guys like Giambi or Delgado.

For too many seasons we've played the "well if Rios/Wells/Overbay/whoever comes back from injury, and so-and-so plays up to form, then the Jays will be awesome!!" game. I'm tired of it. Let's sign a guy or two with a recent track record, and let Snider come along as he comes.

The U.S. Department of Education's gainful employment regulations require disclosure of certain program information to students and prospective students. Gainful employment programs are programs that "prepare students for gainful employment in a recognized occupation." Public institutions are required to report this information for all programs that are Title IV eligible and that lead to certificates and/or diplomas.
Gainful employment regulations require disclosure of the following information for each "gainful employment" program:
- Information on occupations that the program prepares students to enter
- Program costs, including tuition and fees and books and supplies
- Median federal and private loan debt of recent graduates
- On-time completion rate of recent graduates
- Job placement rate of recent graduates
Calculation of Placement Rates
Placement rates for the institution and its programs are calculated and submitted annually according to the rules of the Council on Occupational Education (COE). Placement for COE is considered a completer of a program who (1) is employed in the field of education pursued or in a related field, or (2) has received the appropriate credential and entered the military or continued his/her education. Valid employment in the field or a related field includes placement in a permanent full- or part-time position with an employer or employment agency, or self-employment in the field of education or a related field.
Completers that are unavailable for placement are excluded from this calculation. Students may be considered unavailable for placement due to incarceration, pregnancy, serious health-related issues, caring for ill family members, death and refusing employment. Schools must provide documentation needed to show that the students failed to keep interviews, enrolled in programs for personal use, or refused jobs in their fields or related fields of study.

Being focused and getting ready to win

We have reached the stage of the Asia cup where we now have to compete against the very best in Asia. Few of the players Bangladesh will be facing would be the very best in not only Asia but also in the world. The best batsman Sachin Tendulkar, Best off spinner Murali, Fastest bowler Shoiab Akther and many more.
Bangladesh would have stood no chance of probably even running them close if the tournament was being played a year ago. However during this last year Bangladesh has improved so much that now not only fans can expect Bangladesh to compete against all three but also to win against one or two of them.
The question which arises is that what can we depend on to beat one of these major teams? To answer this let us just review Bangladesh's performance in each department over the last year.
Batting: Compared to the batting line up we had before and during the World Cup, the current line up has become far more dependable and promising. Batsmen like Ashraful, Bashar and Hannan are starting to perform a touch better and more consistently than before. This was evident during the Pakistan tour where Bashar and Hannan notched up better scores. Ashraful came into the limelight in Zimbabwe with a performance that enabled Bangladesh to win their first match in almost 4 years.
However in my opinion one of the main reasons for Bangladesh batting becoming better is Rajin Saleh. Although he scroes very slowly he has been able to hold the middle order together during the middle overs where in lies Bangladesh's greatest weakness. With him anchoring the middle overs the lower order which has always done its bit were being able to come in not having to worry about playing of fifty overs. Instead they were able to play aggressivly and ensure bangladesh would post scores in the region of 220. However having said all this team has still not been able to consistently score competitive scores. A good example would be the england series.
Tigers are stronger & mentally positive
Bowling: probably the biggest and major improvemnet over the last one year. Not only have they become competitive in ODI but also in test. Prevously bangladesh would have been happy if they could restrict there opponent to totals of around 280 or if they could stretch their opponent till the 32nd or 35th over while defending scores around 160/180. Now however they try and restrict their opponent to as low a total as possible or for that matter defend scores of 150/170 (westindies and zimbabwe matches). This has happened during the time when they were missing probably their best RFM bowler Mashrafe.
Why has such a thing happened? Improvment in discipline. Line and lenght of most of the bowlers have improved, notably Tapash, mushfiq and Rafique.To go with it, consistently bowling out opponents in test matches have boosted their confidence. Confidence and discipline has in turn lead to them becoming more focused and motivated. Motivation and focus has in turn lead to them being able to belive that the can defend or stretch any team to their extent.
Feilding: this department has always been good for Bangladesh. However energy and enthusiasam for long periods used to be missing. This has been added over the last one year.
More importantly the players have now become mentally positive and stronger. They do not want to give matches away to their opponent.
Now lets come back to answer the main question.The question for which all this has been said. What can we depend on to win?
The answer is our bowling. The bowling has probably been the best department for the last one year. They won us a match against Zimbabwe when things werent going well till half way of the second innings, almost did it in the last match again and also in the first match against Westindies. The reason as said before is discipline and focus. However our bowlers have done well when our batsmen have set reasonable targets for them to defend. Thus all do not depend on our bowlers, the batsmen also have responsibility of scoring runs in order to give bowlers room to perform.
If we look back into history we may well see that bangladesh have won 4 of their 5 matches while defending. Chasing has been a real weakness and still remains so, as we just do not have enough fire in the top or lower order to give us a blasting start or finish while chasing 6 or 7 an over. The team is better in defending 6 or even 5/4 an over specially when it comes down to the last 15/12 overs. Thus it is very necessary that Bangladesh try to bat first, get a total on the board and then defend their way to an upset. The pitches in Colombo will also suit such a strategy as they become slow, low and turning as a match progresses.
However in the last 24 hours things have changed dramatically for Bangladesh. Razzaq's bowling action has been reported which, according to one media report, might lead BCB to stop him bowling for the rest of the tournament (altough no such restriction exists), Omar may not play for the rest of the matches due to injury and Mashud has been warned to change his gloves as the one he uses are bigger than the legal size. These matters can be very disturbing, however if we look back again, Javed and Razzaq have only come in the OD team during this series. Mashud is good enough keeper to keep with smaller gloves. Thus Bangladesh team needs to forget about all this, at least for the time being, and keep their focus on winning, after all victories do not seem far away.

The battle between Charlie Sheen and his former "Two and a Half Men" executive producer Chuck Lorre continues.
The actor sent out a Tweet yesterday, according to The Hollywood Reporter, in which disparaged Lorre in reference to the recent news that the series could go on without him: "#Adios2&aHalf without me it's like Zeppelin without Plant. The Doors without Jim. C Lorre just elected into the Troll Hall of Shame. RT"
The Hollywood Reported said on Thursday that Lorre has an idea to reboot the series that would give Sheen's former co-star Jon Cryer a more prominent role and introduce a new character.
CBS, Warner Bros., and Lorre is facing a two-and-a-half-week deadline on whether to revamp the series or cancel it, The Associated Press reported.
Meanwhile, Sheen is suing Lorre and Warner Bros. for $100 million. The Hollywood Reporter cited a source who said that the star has been working to get back into the show, but Lorre reportedly has no plans to meet with him.
