We already mentioned in our Apple Game Center post that Mark Cubbs from Epic Games took the stage during Steve Jobs' press conference to show of a demo of Project Sword. The reason this game looks so impressive is that it's running on the Unreal Engine 3. The good news is; the other tech demo that was shown is now available in the App Store for free, just search for Epic Citadel and rake it in!
Epic Citadel is a nice demo that lets you explore a medieval city and lets you travel through a mysterious cathedral. Don't expect too much from it, just give your eyes a little feast and spend a lot of attention to the gorgeous graphics of this "game". As Towelie said it: "Don't forget to bring your towel", because you're going to want to clean that drool of your iPhone/iPod screen after seeing the graphics in this amazing tech demo!

Selling the Girl Next Door
Aired January 23, 2011 - 20:00 ET
AMBER LYON, CNN CORRESPONDENT: My name is Winter. (voice-over): This is how it works. (on camera): I would love to meet new people. I'm 17. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: You're 17 years old? LYON: So these guys would try to have sex with you. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Yes. LYON: Did they know you were 13? UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: No. LYON: Men buying girls barely into their teens online. (on camera): Would you say they were 14, 15? UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I don't know. LYON: You don't know? (voice-over): The sex trade has moved off of the streets and on to the Web and the girls are getting younger and younger. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: She is a child. It's disgusting. LYON: This is how the girl next door gets sold. Las Vegas, Nevada, 35 million Americans come here every year. It's a nonstop party out on the strip but if you look passed the carefully marketed glitz, you are going to find one of America's dirty little secrets. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: $89. Huh? LYON: Teenage girls, some barely past puberty, routinely bought and sold for the pleasure of grown men. And every year, hundreds end up right here at the Clark County Juvenile Detention facility. (on camera): How many 13-year-olds do you usually see. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: A few. Like every once in a while, we get 11, 12, and 13-year-olds. LYON: So we're just heading back to the holding room where these girls stay while they wait for the judge to call them and hear their case. How you doing? UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: This is Amber. LYON: Where is everyone from? UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Chicago. LYON: You? UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Detroit. LYON: From Detroit. And? UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Washington state. LYON: Washington state. So no one here is from Las Vegas? This is called a belly chain. And all the girls have these around them. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: This is everyday life. We have to deal with it. LYON (voice-over): This is where we first meet 13-year-old Salina, just another girl next door turned into a product, sold by pimps, used by men. (on camera): Backpage.com. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Yes, I know Backpage.com. And -- all that. I did all that so. LYON: How old were you? UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Twelve? LYON: Twelve? UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Yes. LYON (voice-over): She was caught in a casino by undercover police and locked up. According to the law, Salina is a sex-trafficking victim, not a criminal. But like most underage girls who were sex trafficked she has a history of running away from home. And that's a dangerous thing in cities across America where pimps are always looking out for girls who are out on the streets alone. Here, at least, she is safe. (on camera): What is it like when you're all alone in your room, in yourself? UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: It makes you think a lot and you get real depressed, like real depressed. I just like want to cry. Like I cannot believe I'm in here. I always (INAUDIBLE) the real locked up and I'm here. I'm locked up. LYON (voice-over): Salina moved here with her mom from Detroit three years ago. (on camera): When did you start noticing that there's a problem? UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I think -- she was about -- she was 11. You know little things that, you know, a cigarette, a joint, some beer that you think is just going to pass and then it just didn't pass. She did great in sixth great, excellent. A's, B's. And then by the end of seventh grade, it's just the crowd that she was hanging around with. And just her whole attitude went. Her school work went. LYON (voice-over): Then, Salina started running away. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Me and my mom got in a fight and I was, like, I'm leaving. She said, OK. And I left. LYON: So you and your mom got in a fight, you ran away, you were walking down near the Vegas Strip and some guy pulls up. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Yes. I was at the bus stop. And then he said, oh, do you need a ride? And I was, like, yes, I do. LYON: How much did you like this guy? UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I liked him a lot. I was like straight up obsessed. Not obsessed. But I was like, oh, my, god, he is so cute. And like, it wasn't like, oh, bitch, go get me money, that wasn't like that at first, but then it got like that. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: She is an absolute ham. Yes. LYON (voice-over): They live in a suburb outside Las Vegas. Salina's mother is a middle school teacher. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: This is her when she was little. Look at how adorable she was. Just little things that she got along the way. This is her little bible thing from bible school. This is her little angel doll, just little things that she has. LYON (on camera): Who is Vinny, she said rest in peace, Vinny. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I don't know. I don't even know. LYON: You don't even know who he is? UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: No. LYON: Richey, she has a heart next to him. What do you know about what's been happening to your daughter on the streets? UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I don't. I don't know. I mean honestly don't know what's happening. I only know what she tells me and she doesn't really tell me anything. LYON: Do you think she's worried if she told you that you might be really upset with her? UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I think she's embarrassed. To be honest. Because I've told her, you know, somebody is going to give something, too many pills or whatever, and they're going to use you for what they want to use you for, and you're done for. LYON (voice-over): Her mother sent Salina to therapist, tried tough love, but nothing has worked. Salina's mom is certain that if she comes home again she'll run. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: She wants to leave so bad that it becomes like a struggle. A couple of times before, I'm like, you are not leaving and this is the middle of nowhere. Like how do you get anywhere? So I followed her in my car. She like just sped across to the next sub. And she was gone that fast. LYON: Salina was sold by a man and a woman over the Web site Backpage.com for the standard rate of 300 bucks an hour, 150 for the half. (on camera): Did you ever want to run away and go back home and see your mom or call the police or someone to help you? UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: If I ran away, I was going to get killed. And if I told the cops, I was going to get killed. Even the littlest things could have gotten me killed. The little things. They can get anybody killed. LYON: And the guys that call you, how old are they? UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: You don't know until they walk through the door or you walk through their door. Like, they could sound like they were like 21, you walk in there and they're like, old and disgusting. LYON: Did it make you feel kind of disgusting? UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: It made me feel -- it made me feel so nasty. I would just want to shower. It was so disgusting. And it never made me feel pretty, not one time. LYON: And at this point, how many guys were you seeing a day? UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: At that point, like five, four. LYON: Four or five guys a day? (voice-over): But Salina is hardly alone. There are hundreds of thousands of girls just like her across America. And for the first time in the long history of the oldest profession, there is a powerful new tool for people who seek profit or pleasure from underage girls, the Internet. (on camera): Crystal, Samantha, Destiny. (voice-over): Undetected, out of sight and happening every day in every corner of America. (on camera): You pick up the phone. And you find a girl you like on Backpage.com, call her and meet with her. How long does that usually take? UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Thirty minutes. LYON: So you can get a girl as quick as you can get a pizza? UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Yes. (COMMERCIAL BREAK) LYON (on camera): Does anyone need a mask? Does everyone have one? (voice-over): We're giving these guys ski masks to conceal their identities. (on camera): Here you go, there you go. Over here. All right. (voice-over): These men have pled guilty to soliciting prostitutes. None of them pleaded guilty to soliciting a minor. They are attending John's School here in Nashville, Tennessee, in order to wipe their records clean. They are going to spend eight hours in class learning about STDs, the effect of prostitution on the community and the risk of prison time if they get caught again. (on camera): Raise your hand if you're in your 20s. So we have one, two. 30s? 40s? Fifty years old. OK. We got one, two, three. 60s? 70s? One. Anyone 80s? One. ANTOINETTE WELCH, ASSISTANT DISTRICT ATTORNEY: They are everybody. They are rich, poor, medium income. They are every ethnicity. They're married, single, divorced. It is the most diverse crime I've ever seen for any type crime that there is. LYON: Antoinette Welch is an assistant district attorney for Davidson County, Tennessee. She used to be a police officer who spent almost a decade out on the streets undercover posing as a prostitute busting Johns. WELCH: A lot of these girls that are being pimped out on the internet are underage girls. By law, they are children. You all better be real careful if you decide to do it again because I guarantee, you're going to eventually get some underage girl and you're going to get popped for it. And when you're convicted, you will be on the sex registry for the rest of your life. Think about that. LYON (on camera): How many of you guys are married? Four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, 11, 12, 13. Could you just say one word that describes what you do for a living? UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Computer programmer. LYON: Computer programmer? UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Auto mechanic. LYON: Auto mechanic. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Trucking. LYON: Trucking. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Landscaper. LYON: Landscaper? UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Construction. LYON: Construction. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Retired. LYON: Retired. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Transport. LYON: Transport. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Forklift operator. LYON: Forklift operator. OK. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Computers. LYON: Computers? Computer programmer? UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Sure. LYON (voice-over): A third of the men in this room were caught buying a prostitute on the online classified site Backpage.com. (on camera): How -- what exactly do you do? Do you do it from your living room, from work? And then? UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Cell phone. LYON: From your cell phone? You can actually surf Backpage on your cell phone? And how many times a week? UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Two or three. LYON: If you don't mind me asking, sir, do you have a family? UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Yes. LYON: Do they know that -- UNIDENTIFIED MALE: No. LYON: They don't know. (voice-over): He's a businessman in his 50s, he's married and he has kids. (on camera): When some people watch this interview, they're going to be really upset with you. How can this guy pay for sex? How can he buy women like commodities? What would you say to that? UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I feel like I have an addiction. LYON: To sex? UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Yes. I think it's an escape. And there's no strings attached. LYON: So how long does it take you? Say you pick up the phone and you find a girl you like on Backpage.com, call her and meet with her. How long does that usually take? UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Thirty minutes? LYON: So you can get a girl as quick as you could get a pizza? UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Yes. LYON: Well, Backpage tells us that the girls posting under the escort section aren't selling sex. What do you say to that? UNIDENTIFIED MALE: You know you've got to be kidding. You have got to be kidding. What are they selling then? KENNY BAKER, NASHVILLE JOHNS SCHOOL: We are on Dickerson Road. This is a known area of prostitution. LYON: So this is the track of Nashville, Dickerson Road. BAKER: Dickerson Road. Yes. LYON (voice-over): Kenny Baker is program director for the Johns School. (on camera): Over the years, have you seen more or less girls out here walking the track. BAKER: You know, as times change and the technology moves forward, we're seeing less street-level prostitution and we're seeing more of the stuff on Backpage. So they're really using the Web a lot more. LYON (voice-over): Thirteen-year-old Salina's pimp sold her to men on Backpage.com out of cheap hotel rooms near Las Vegas. (on camera): We snuck in some contraband, a Coke. Look at that face. Did they know you were 13? UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: No, no. Well, the guy I was with at the time told me to tell everybody that I was 19 or 18. LYON: So this guy you were with, was he your pimp? UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Yes. LYON: Did any guy ever say to you, you know what, you look like you might not be 18, come on, what's your real age? UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: No. Because they didn't care. They didn't care if I was -- even if I was like 5 years old, they wouldn't care because they're having sex with somebody. So they wouldn't care. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: This is her in the DARE program. Who would have guessed? LYON: What would you say to these guys who are paying for sex with your daughter? UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: It's disgusting. I think the whole -- I think our whole society is so out of control with accepting this and saying that it is OK. And you know it is what it is. She's a child. LYON: Did you ever suspect that any of the girls that you found were underage and lied about their age? Yes? Did you find those girls on Backpage.com? Yes. And by being under age, would you say they were 14, 15? UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I don't know. LYON: You don't know? BAKER: They are only thinking about themselves, not about anything else, only their immediate needs. LYON: And not about these girls? BAKER: No, they're not even -- no. It is just an object. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Well, I mean I believed that Backpage is responsible for this. I mean, again, it should be taken away, the whole thing doesn't have to -- LYON: Just the escort section? UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Yes, the escort section. The adult section should be gone. LYON: So you're saying Backpage just normalizes the whole process? UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Yes. Yes. LYON: You go on, you buy furniture. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Yes. Yes. LYON: You find a job, you can buy a girl? UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Yes, yes. LYON (voice-over): Coming up. (on camera): Young, sweet, bubbly, all things that could indicate she's underage? (voice-over): Do these websites know what's going on? Do they care? (on camera): What are you guys doing to protect these girls? (COMMERCIAL BREAK) LYON (voice-over): Look closely at these escort ads on the Internet classified site, Backpage.com. Can you tell how old these girls are? A couple of months ago, Salina's face was on the front of one of these online ads. Her pimp was forcing her to sell her 13-year-old body to strange men for sex. (on camera): So this guy, your pimp, what happened if you hid some of the money? UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Then I would get my ass whipped. LYON: He would beat you? UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Yes. LYON (voice-over): Salina's real father has been absent from her life. She says that keeps her up at night writing songs about the dad she doesn't know. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Clothes your eyes. OK. All those daddy daughter dances that I had to go alone, it just made me grown. LYON: You wrote that? UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Yes. LYON: That's really impressive. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Really? LYON: Who did you write that about? UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: My dad. LYON: About your dad. (voice-over): Pimps across America prey on girls like Salina, luring them in with gifts and love and then selling them for sex online. And it's become more profitable than ever. The Internet is plastered with lies but this is one of the boldest. The term escort. Websites like Backpage.com that advertise escorts make it clear that the site is not to be used by anyone offering, quote, "sexual favors" for money but, come on, we all know what's often being sold here is sex. (on camera): What would happen when guys responded to your ads on Backpage? UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I was in Motel 6. So they would come there. LYON: How many guys a day would you see? UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I don't know. It depended on the day. Sometimes like two or three or four. LYON (voice-over): Last year, we investigated the Internet site, Craigslist. Victims' advocates called Craigslist's adult services section the Wal-Mart of child sex trafficking. We posted an ad to see what was up. (on camera): So I want to show you how easy it is for these pimps to use Craigslist to sell their girls. We're suggesting with our ad that we could possibly be underage with words like sweet, innocent, new girl in town. This could be an ad for an underage girl. So we're going to see what kind of calls we get. (voice-over): And when the calls came in, there was no question what these guys wanted. (on camera): Yes, this is Ashley. $200. I do both. We have another call. Hello. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I was wondering, um, how much for (INAUDIBLE) job? LYON: Excuse me. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: How much for a blow job? LYON: $200. What do you mean, is everything covered? Maybe I'd go $150. Excuse me? We can discuss that when you get here. Look at the photo on this one. (voice-over): And there's another big lie when it comes to online sex ads. And that's age. If an ad says a girl is, say, 13, it's going to be immediately banned. So pimps sell the girls using code words like young, fresh, innocent. When we took an ad that was loaded with code words to Craigslist founder, Craig Newmark, he was unable to answer a simple question. (on camera): I mean what do you think she's selling in her bra and underwear? A dinner date? CRAIG NEWMARK, FOUNDER, CRAIGSLIST.COM: I've never -- I don't know what this is. LYON: What are you guys doing to protect these girls? (voice-over): Our investigation helped spark a national conversation and outrage. (on camera): Attorneys general from all across the nation sent this letter out to Craigslist. They are calling on Craigslist to completely shut down the adult services sections. (voice-over): Just weeks later. ANDERSON COOPER, CNN ANCHOR: Over the weekend, Craigslist shut down its adult services section slapping a censored label in its place on its Web site. LYON: But when Craigslist shut down the adult services section, the pimps and the Johns migrated to the next most popular site, Backpage.com, where you can buy a car, a used couch or an underage girl for sex. Backpage charges five bucks per escort ad and according to the Internet firm the AIM Group, Backpage.com's monthly earnings jumped by more than $1 million after Craigslist took the adult services section down. Backpage is projected to earn more than $20 million from its adult ads alone in 2010. We found cases of underage girls being sold for sex on Backpage.com all over the country. Backpage is owned by the Village Voice Media Group and chances are you've seen one of their publications. (on camera): "Seattle Weekly", "Miami New Times", "River Front Times", San Francisco -- (voice-over): We've been trying for months to talk to top management at Village Voice Media, including president, Jim Larkin, about the sale of underage girls on the site. He refused to talk to us. Last fall Backpage hired Internet security adviser Hemu Nigam to implement, quote, "a holistic plan centered around preventing criminal activity on our site." What is their holistic plan? We don't know because Hemu Nigam wouldn't talk to us. On his Web site, Nigam promised to look into what impactful changes can be made to provide a safer site. The most obvious change, the full-on nudity on Backpage.com is gone but ads like this are still everywhere. And the men who used Backpage, they haven't changed. (on camera): I'm 17. You sound like you could be my dad. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Seventeen? You're 17 years old? What do you think we should do about this? LYON: What do you want me to do? UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I want to (EXPLETIVE DELETED) you. LYON (voice-over): Coming up. (on camera): My name is Winter. (voice-over): I post an ad on Backpage.com. (on camera): Today, I'm actually heading out to be sex trafficked as a 17-year-old girl. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: My client, he's worth millions, sweetie. So anything we do, we do corporate. That way we don't have to worry about any Tiger Woods issues, if you know what I mean. (COMMERCIAL BREAK) DON LEMON, CNN ANCHOR: Now for your headlines. There is breaking news tonight with police officers wounded in shootings in Detroit and Port Orchard, Washington. We will start in Detroit where four police officers were shot inside their station house. One underwent surgery but none of the injuries is believed to be life threatening. The gunman was killed when officers returned fire. In Port Orchard, Washington, our affiliate, KIRO, K-I-R-O, reports one person has been killed and two deputies wounded in the shooting at a Wal-Mart. Sheriff Steve Bouyer (ph) says the deputies and another person were taken to a Tacoma hospital. An employee said the store was immediately locked down with about 100 people inside. Federal kidnapping charges have been filed against a woman suspected of snatching a baby more than 20 years ago. Ann Petway who was wanted on an unrelated arrest warrant surrendered to the FBI today in Connecticut. Petway allegedly kidnapped an infant from a New York hospital in 1987 and raised the girl as her own child. That woman, Carlita White, recently discovered her true identity and was returned last week with her biological family. Make sure you join me in the NEWSROOM at 10:00 p.m. Eastern. We'll have updates on all these stories for you. Want you to get back now to CNN special investigation. It's called "SELLING THE GIRL NEXT DOOR". LYON (on camera): I'm going to sell myself for sex on Backpage.com just like a 12-year-old we found was sold on the site. (voice-over): We posted an ad under escorts on Backpage's Tennessee site. Almost identical to an ad used to sell a 12-year-old girl we found. That picture is me when I was a young teenager. (on camera): I got to tell you it was quite awkward calling my dad and asking him to send me a picture of myself when I was 14 so I could post a sex ad online. I have a copy here of her exact ad. It says, my name is Winter and I would love to meet new people. Ad price, five bucks. They posted it online. So there I am at 14. Let's see if we get any calls. (voice-over): Four minutes later, the phone rings. (on camera): Hello. (voice-over): I tell the callers I'm underage. It doesn't seem to matter. (on camera): Hello. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: This is Allen. I saw your ad on Backpage. And I was wondering about your rate. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I was wondering if you're available tonight. LYON: How old are you, Matt? You sound kind of young. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I'm 34. LYON: I'm 16. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Sixteen. OK. LYON: Oh, gosh, we got another one. Hello. What are you looking for? UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Sex. LYON: Oh, you are looking for sex, OK. I'm not old enough to drink. I'm 17. I can't -- I don't have a fake I.D. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Oh really? You're 17? LYON: Mm-hmm. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: That's good. LYON: I just got woken up by my pay-as-go phone ringing. What's your name? UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Ronnie. LYON: I'm 17. You sound like you could be my dad. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Seventeen? Your 17 years old? LYON: Yes, I'm 17. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Why would I want to even consider having sex with a 17-year-old woman whose underage? LYON: No one needs to find out. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: That's exactly what I said. What do you think we should do about this? LYON: What do you want me to do? UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I want to (EXPLETIVE DELETED) you? You want to (EXPLETIVE DELETED) me? LYON: Today, I'm actually heading out to be sex trafficked as a 17- year-old girl. Hello. I ended up getting a call yesterday from a guy who says he is working for a high-rolling client, a 60-year-old plus guy who's really interested in me, he likes my photos. It's from my ad. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: My client, he's worth millions, sweetie. So anything we do, we do corporate. That way we don't have to worry about any Tiger Woods issues, if you know what I mean. LYON: One thing led to another. Now I'm being sent to North Carolina to meet this guy. He just called. (voice-over): I tell the caller I'm underage. But it doesn't matter. He still arranges the meeting. (on camera): Hello. (voice-over): I even get a call to set up my hotel room. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: How you doing? He's authorized the suite for five days. And I need to go to over some things just to see what you want in your suite. What you want stocked in the mini bar. LYON: OK, I'll just have the suite fully stocked. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: OK. You have to be very discreet. LYON: OK. I'll be discreet. (voice-over): On the way to North Carolina, the caller entices us to keep driving. (on camera): He just sent me a couple images of a cashier's check they have waiting for us, for $35,000. He's been telling me all morning, he wants to just prove to me that they are legit. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: OK. You got everything? LYON: Yes. I got everything. So the check is real and everything, right? UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Oh, yes, god, yes. LYON (voice-over): The hotel was in the middle of nowhere, an easy place for a 17-year-old to go missing. So we brought security. (on camera): So I'm going to be wearing this shirt and right here is our hidden button cam. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: You go. Entrance to the hotel. LYON: OK. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: You go through a resolving set of doors and then the main lobby area is in front of you. LYON: So we are heading out to the car. (voice-over): The guy who was trying so sell me told me to buy half a dozen disposable credit cards from the local supermarket. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Common sense will tell you, sweetie, you should go get your cards. I mean, you got $30,000 waiting on you. LYON: Take them to the hotel. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: So the main thing is you get down what you need to get paid and get in your suite. LYON: And he'd transfer all of the money on to my new cards. We scoped out the meeting place and confirmed that this offer was real. (on camera): I could only afford one card but I have it here. So whatever we can do now. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: OK. LYON: I could get tomorrow. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Well, he's not going to be able to release anything to you. He's going to have to release the whole $30,000 at one time. LYON (voice-over): But since I wasn't about to sleep with anybody for money, we pulled the plug. The point where we stopped is the start for so many underage prostitutes. Next, we'll take you to the most famous legal brothel in America to hear what its owner thinks of these pimps who sell underage girls. DENNIS HOF, OWNER, MOONLIGHT BUNNY RANCH: Pimps are the worst leaches in the world. LYON: And we'll hear from the woman who work at the "Cat House." UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I've been in the game since I was 13. LYON: Women who got started in the oldest profession way too young. (COMMERCIAL BREAK) LYON (on camera): We are here on the Las Vegas Strip where you can buy tickets to a show, a five-star dinner and also a woman. If you have ever walked down here at night, you have heard that sound. It's like, all these guys up and down the strip with these cards and magazines. (voice-over): Behind the obvious advertising, there is a hidden trade in underage girls and huge hidden profits. According to one study, pimps pull in anywhere from $150 to $500,000 a year. We wanted to know more about the business of selling girls. So we met a guy who knows more about that than anyone. HOF: Hi, honey, how are you? There's a lot of sexual trafficking going on in Las Vegas. LYON: Dennis Hof. He has been called America's pimp master general but he considers himself a businessman. And what he does is legal. Hof is the owner of the most famous legal brothel in America, the Moonlight Bunny Ranch. It's the setting for HBO's long-running reality series "Cat House." HOF: People love the sex business and I love being a part of it. LYON: What he doesn't love are pimps. (on camera): You think pimps just suck. HOF: Pimps are the worst leaches in the world. It's in Birmingham, it's in Charleston. It's everywhere. It's everywhere in America. There are pimps that are trying to grab the life of young girls and take them away from their families. LYON: And what type of money are pimps pulling in? HOF: Tens of thousands of dollars a week. LYON: A week? HOF: Yes. Absolutely. LYON: What is it about underage girls? Why -- do pimps make more money off of them? Why are there so many underage girls? HOF: They're easily manipulated. They're young, they're naive. But the price they pay is horrendous. LYON: We're driving right now to Lyon County, Nevada, to talk with Dennis Hof and go see his Bunny Ranch. You know you hear names on the street, people calling prostitutes, shut, hoes, whores. But what a lot of people in this country don't realize is that the majority of prostitutes out there started in the business as sex trafficking victims. (voice-over): Hof says that he wants to set the record straight, let the public know that life in his legal brothel is a far cry from the lives of most American prostitutes. HOF: Come on, girls. Ladies, this is Amber. She's here visiting to spend some time with you girls. Wants to meet you all. We get (INAUDIBLE) every month or two. They come in and make their money, and go back home and lead their life. Want me to walk you around and show you everything? LYON: Yes. Yes. HOF: There's just rooms down here. And the girls decorate them like they want. Yes, we want people to be comfortable. LED, plasma TVs. LYON: Yes. It looks just like a regular bedroom. What is this? HOF: This is a swing. LYON: I don't quite know how this works. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: It's really easy. LYON: All right. Let's move on to the next room. Just boobs in the hallway. It's just boobs. (voice-over): The women here are in the safest and most profitable environment possible for a sex worker. HOF: This is used one day a week for a couple of hours. LYON: They're tested weekly for STDs. They have panic buttons in the room that they can hit if a client gets out of line and they also keep half of their cash. Some make six figure incomes. (on camera): Have you ever marketed a girl as being just turned 18? HOF: Oh, absolutely. LYON: But is there really a difference between 17 and 45 weeks and 18 years old? HOF: Our congressmen need to work that out. They're the one that made the decision that -- when you're 18, that you can join the military, you can kill people, you can do porn, or you can work at the Bunny Ranch. LYON: Do you ever worry that girls watch the show, "Cat House" and see how well the girls are treated here and think wow, I want to be a prostitute. I'm going to be treated that well, too. And then they end up on the streets in the hands of a pimp? HOF: I don't want anybody to be in the illegal prostitution world. It is awful. It is terrible. And they are preyed upon by everybody. LYON: So I know you guys are all of age now and you're in the business now legally but how many of you were sex trafficked, underage when you started in the business? Can you raise your hand real high? So we have one, two, three. (voice-over): We counted hands and asked the women to tell us their stories. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I am from Seattle and I started hoing when I was 16. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I got started in the sex industry since I was 15. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I've been in the game since I was 13. LYON: All were effectively sex slaves controlled by pimps and all were sold online. (on camera): What happened if you didn't get calls, if you didn't get any response from Backpage. What would your pimp do for you then? UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: We had to be out on the street. And we had a $500 minimum. And if we didn't make our minimum, then we had to basically stay out there until he told us to come in. LYON (voice-over): Jazzy was trafficked by a pimp named Sweet. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I was 15 at the time. And that was when Sweet wasn't so sweet. LYON (on camera): What percentage of the money that you made turning tricks did you give to your pimp? UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: There is no percentage. They get all of it. They get all of it. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Actually, I did get raped out there. I was more scared of -- I wanted to leave and for being raped, so I just kind of sat there and laid there. Because I wanted to see my mom, I wanted to see my dad again. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Virginity wasn't an option where I came from. You know, it was tooken (sic) from you. And so when you -- when you get into the game or when you, like, have somebody tell you, you know, you can sleep with me for money and you already lost your virginity, it was like, why not, like, you know, it's like, why not. Sex is not as sacred as it once was. LYON (voice-over): When we come back -- UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I want to go home. That's all I want. LYON: Salina's fate is decided. (COMMERCIAL BREAK) LYON (voice-over): Federal law says that if you are under 18 and you are being sold for sex, you are a victim, not a criminal. That's the law but for thousands of American girls who get arrested every year on prostitution charges, this is the reality. Belly chains, ankle cuffs, a locked sell. Susan Roske is a public defender for the girls here. (on camera): Is it hard for you to see them come out with belly chains like they are real prisoners? SUSAN ROSKE, PUBLIC DEFENDER: It's so hard. And I can't imagine being the parent of one of these girls seeing it. Society looks at them like they're whores, they're just prostitutes, not seeing them as children that are being manipulated and abused. LYON: It's pretty crazy if you think about it. But in counties all across America, the only place to put these victims is detention centers to lock them up to keep them from roaming back out on to the streets and back into the hands of their pimps. This is Fritz Reese and he's going to give us a tour of the Clark County Juvenile Detention Center. This is a facility where these juvenile sex trafficking victims are being held. FRITZ REESE, CLARK COUNTY JUVENILE DETENTION CENTER: Well, unfortunately, there's not a lot of options in terms of resources or alternatives to put girls. LYON: The best resource our country has right now to take care of these juvenile sex trafficking victims is this, a three-inch mattress, no vent. They don't have any pictures on the walls, no TV, nasty- looking toilet. They are locked in here at night just like a prisoner. (voice-over): This is where 13-year-old Salina, who was sold for sex by a pimp on Backpage.com, is being held, it's the Clark County Juvenile Detention facility. Nobody thinks that these kids should be locked up but nobody wants to risk turning them loose. JUDGE WILLIAM VOY, CLARK COUNTY FAMILY COURT: So this is a good example of one. LYON: Judge William Voy is the family court judge in charge of Salina's case. He keeps an old case on his desk to remind him why these girls need to be safe. VOY: She was released on February 7th and she was found dead on February 10th. She was murdered and her throat was cut. You can always theorize that yes, maybe they would be alive but this one, I know it. I know it. LYON (on camera): So why do you keep this case on your desk every day? VOY: I keep it here because it reminds me that if I had her in the house, she'd be alive. LYON (voice-over): Judge Voy is trying to get funding for an alternative to the jail, a safe house for the girls who cycle in and out of his courtroom. (on camera): Judge Voy right now is driving us out to an area of town where they've been planning to build a facility for these juvenile sex trafficking victims. VOY: It starts right here. It's not a detention center, it's not an institution. LYON: You have bedrooms instead of cells. VOY: It looks like another wealthy homeowner in Vegas, right? And that's what we want it to look like. These kids are messed up in a lot of different ways. And they need a lot of help. LYON (voice-over): Voy says private donors will pay for the land and the building. All he needs is $700,000 a year from the county to pay for probation officers. But the county won't pay. VOY: We can't get to the next level. And it's extremely frustrating. LYON: It is not just this county. There are almost no places for these girls anywhere in America. And all the federal funding for sex trafficking victims has gone to foreign girls. American girls have been shut out. Girls like 13-year-old Salina, now stuck in jail. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Oh, my god, that's my favorite picture in the world. I love my little sister more than anything in the world. I miss her so much. LYON: Salina wants more than anything else just to go home to be with her little sister. Today, Judge Voy and Salina's mom are trying to figure out what's best of her. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I want to be with my family and watch my little sister grow up. I'm sorry for the things I have done. And I'd do anything to be with my family. VOY: You said that with only one breath. So you are my best judge, right here. You know this child. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Of course, I want my child to come home. But we need a plan. I mean it's not -- VOY: Yes. I understand what you're saying. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Yes. VOY: OK. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: She's saying all this, I want to go home. That's all I want. LYON: But she is not going home, because no one can say for sure that she won't just run away, back to the streets, back to the pimps. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: So am I going to be here for like nine months? I just want to go home. LYON: Salina's mother is burnt out, terrified Salina will run again and vanish forever. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: It is horrible. You hear everywhere of kids, you know, being picked up and you never, ever see them again. So it's a horrible feeling and no matter how many times that I talk to her about it, it's just like she's just not getting it. She is not. LYON: Salina's mother is a teacher and she is used to dealing with kids but her daughter is a mystery. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: You know I just have a kid that actually goes to school and comes home and does their homework and you know -- watches TV, you know. It's tough. I don't want to, you know, take away anything from her because she's great in her own way. It's just, I don't know, I feel like she's lost to be honest. I do. LYON: Salina is now getting help through a court-ordered drug treatment program in another state but her future is uncertain at best. There are thousands of girls just like her, caught up in an industry driven by lust and greed. Now online and better than ever. At Selling The Girl Next Door.

|tcells decline but viral load remains constant
Jan 14, 2005
I have been hiv positive since 11/1999 and have yet to start meds. Since that time my viral load has remained between 2000-10000 but my tcells have gone from 618 to 218. As of two weeks ago my tcells were 218 and my viral load was 4000. Next week they are retesting my tcells to ensure they are that low but they have outlined a treatment should I need to start. They have recommended Sustiva and Truvada. I have two questions. One, if my viral load has remained so low why have my tcells declined so much? And secondly how is the treatment that my doctors want to start me on?
Response from Dr. Young
Thanks for your post.
There appears to be some confusion over whether persons with low viral loads will have CD4 cell decline. As your case illustrates, the answer is clearly yes. (Indeed, I have some persons who have similar CD4 cell declines whose viral loads are never above 1000.) A low viral load predicts (but by no means proves) that the rate of CD4 cell decrease will be slower than average, but this is only a prediction. If your low CD4 count of ~200 is confirmed, I would certainly support starting treatment.
The regimen of Truvada with efavirenz (Sustiva,Stocrin) has garnered a lot of recent attention with the initial presenation of the Gilead 934 clinical study-- the 24 week analysis of this study was presented at last year's ICAAC meeting by Professor Gazzard, from London. These initial results are very encouraging, with a greater number of persons with treatment success than those who started on the highly recommended regimen of Combivir (AZT/3TC) with efavirenz. The major differences in the two regimens was the tolerability of the later treatment, with a greater number of persons having to discontinue Combivir because of the well characterized side effect profile of AZT-- mostly due to anemia. For those persons who remained on treatment (presumably tolerating medications), there was no apparent difference between Truvada and Combivir. Truvada's component drugs, tenofovir and FTC are relatively newer medications on the landscape (especially FTC), but save for persons with preexisting kidney disease, has not raised any significant safety issues. Truvada plus efavirenz should prove for your to be a very well tolerated, easy to take drug regimen- with only two pills taken once daily.
Good luck, keep us posted as to how you tolerate your medications. BY

IUCN has taken a prominent role in the recent events organized by the International Sava River Basin Commission (ISRBC), in frame of the International Sava Day (1 June).
Working actively on the conservation of biodiversity of the Sava River floodplains in cooperation with its partners, IUCN has commenced extensive talks with the ISRBC on the foreseen contribution to the overall protection of the Sava riverine and floodplain ecosystems by participating in the elaboration of the future Integrated Sava River Basin Management Plan. Recently, IUCN actively participated in the series of events starting with an Eco-camp in the Lonjsko Polje Nature Park in Croatia and ending up with a high level workshop presenting the Strategy on implementation of the Framework Agreement for the Sava River Basin (FASRB). Certainly a highlight of the first International Sava Day was the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding between the International Commission for the Protection of the Danube River (ICPDR) and the ISRBC, setting the framework for improved cooperation and coordination between the two commissions concerned. The MoU has been signed on the 5th of June by Mr. Sasa Dragin, ICPDR President 2008 and Mr. Kemal Karkin, ISRBC Chairman.
The Sava River is the second largest tributary to the Danube River and is of biological significance due to its outstanding biological and landscape diversity. It hosts the largest complex of alluvial floodplain wetlands in the Danube basin and the largest lowland forests. The Sava is a unique example of a river where the floodplains are still intact, supporting both floods alleviation and biodiversity. Nature conservationists and scientists consider it as one of the key areas in the Pan European Biological and Landscape Diversity Strategy (PEBLDS) of the Council of Europe, one of the few that remain sustaining landscape characteristics shaped by traditional land-use patterns typical to the river valleys of Central Europe in the past.
To secure the integration of the protection of ecological values along the Sava into the management of the Sava River, IUCN, Wageningen International with technical support from Orbicon have jointly initiated the Protection of Biodiversity of the Sava River Basin Floodplains project to support the Sava Basin countries in identifying, designating and managing the biological and landscape diversity along the River and in implementing EU Birds and Habitats Directives. This project demonstrates innovative protection and management schemes that seek to combine viable land use practices, biodiversity protection and management by designing a coherent ecological network along the Sava River.
The project is financially supported by the LIFE III programme and the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation. Throughout the project, IUCN and WI are cooperating with the competent partner institutions from the Sava countries - the Center for Ecology and Natural Resources of the Faculty of Science in Sarajevo, the Agricultural Institute of Republic of Srpska, the State Institute for Nature Protection of Croatia, the Institute for Nature Conservation of Serbia - in order to provide an in situ expert input through their participation in the project working groups and trainings. An additional expert contribution to the project is to be provided by the Institute of the Republic of Slovenia for Nature Conservation.

Having failed to produce timely defense spending bills or avoid a chaotic end to a year-long march toward sequestration, the recently-deceased 112th Congress also failed to approve a normally prosaic measure allowing the transfers of old Navy ships to friendly navies.
Failure of the transfer bill means the Navy will now need to spend millions of dollars, U.S. ship repairers won't get a hefty dose of foreign work, and allied countries won't have the chance -- at least for now -- to avail themselves of surplus U.S. Navy warships.
At issue is the Naval Vessel Transfer Act of 2012, a short, straightforward bill that lays out, by name and hull number, which ships the U.S. wants to transfer, what countries they would go to, and the terms of the transfer -- loan, grant or sale. The measure long was a regular part of the annual defense authorization bills, but for the past few years has been submitted separately in order to give congressional foreign relations committees a chance to consider them.
This year's proposal, to transfer 10 Oliver Hazard Perry-class ships to Mexico, Taiwan, Thailand and Turkey, was sent to Capitol Hill on June 4 and referred to the House Foreign Affairs Committee. There it languished for nearly seven months until New Year's Eve when -- only because Congress was in session to debate the so-called fiscal cliff situation -- it was brought to the floor of the House for debate and a vote.
In remarks Dec. 31 to introduce the bill, Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, R-Fla., chairman of the committee, noted concerns about the deterioration in Turkish-Israeli relations. But she also commented on Turkey's support for coalition anti-piracy and NATO operations.
Each frigate transferred, Ros-Lehtinen said, will require $40 million to $80 million in repairs and refurbishment, money spent almost entirely in the U.S. Each ship also, she added, has "the potential for millions more in follow-on services, equipment, and training."
Without the transfers, Ros-Lehtinen said, the alternative "is to place the decommissioned ships into cold storage or have them be sunk. Navy funding is required for both the storage and the sinking option."
The cost to inactivate each ship, according the Naval Sea Systems Command, is about $1.1 million, with annual maintenance costs of about $30,000.
Rendering the ships environmentally safe for recycling or sinking also would bring a hefty price tag.
None of the 10 ships has yet been decommissioned. The U.S. and receiving navies prefer a "hot transfer" situation, whereby the U.S. Navy decommissions its ship, walks its crew off, papers are signed, a new, non-U.S, crew walks aboard and raises the receiving nation's flag. No inactivation costs are incurred during such a turnover.
Three of the 10 frigates, the Curts, Halyburton and Carr, are set to decommission early this year -- one in January, and the other two in March.
The other frigates are set to leave active U.S. service over the next two years.
No deals have been set for the ship's transfers -- they can't be arranged until the legislation is passed and signed into law.
Approval of the transfer act does not transfer the ship -- it merely means lawmakers have approved the proposed plan. The Navy, State Department and the foreign nation are then free to work out the details of the transfer. If any of the parties don't agree, or the foreign nation decides it doesn't want the ship, the deal doesn't happen.
But without congressional approval, no deal can be arranged.
The House, on Dec. 31, approved the measure by voice vote and sent it to the Senate, where it was expected to pass easily if it could be brought to the floor for a vote. But an unknown senator put a last-minute hold on the bill, effectively killing it, and the measure appears to have expired Thursday, along with the 112th Congress.
While some Hill sources were unclear what the future held for the bill, others said the measure was dead. An entirely new bill would need to be submitted under the new Congress, sworn into office Thursday.
"These things usually are not controversial," a Hill source said about the annual vessel transfer bills, even though negative comments are often made in debate about one country or the other.
No mention was made in the House debate about Mexico, Taiwan or Thailand. Two lawmakers expressed concerns about Turkey -- one for its relations with Israel, the other for threats against Cyprus -- concerns also expressed by conservative Greek organizations lobbying against the Turkish transfers.
Objections about Turkish policies are not unusual, but Turkey is a traditional U.S. ally and NATO partner which has been the recipient over the years of dozens of ex-U.S. warships, and the Turkish Navy already operates eight Perry-class frigates.

Be careful. Last time I suggested it was "basically extinct", this was (somewhat forcefully) pointed out to me: http://pvmmpi07.lri.fr/ As of last year, there were still quite a lot of papers on PVM. I think PVM is still widely used in Europe, and a lot of "old hand" cluster people, myself included still prefer it (given their druthers). It is much more a part of the ORIGINAL beowulfs and related linux clusters than MPI. MPI had a completely distinct history: www.csm.ornl.gov/pvm/PVMvsMPI.ps It was developed first for real supercomputers, and only ported to COTS TCP/IP clusters (with a "network" communications channel being introduced) once TCP/IP clusters had been "invented" (noting well that the first TCP/IP cluster probably postdated the invention of TCP/IP by about fifteen minutes:-) and were regularly being built (mostly to run EP or PVM programs). PVM was from the beginning about being able to configure and control a "virtual machine" -- the core idea behind the original beowulf, by the way. MPI was intended to be a parallel programming library to run on an existing big iron system which required no "configuration" (e.g. node selection or other VM setup). They differ fairly strongly today in these arenas, although of course time and open source has reduced the differences. MPI's two primary "advantages" over time have been -- much better vendor support for native (non-TCP/IP) advanced network devices (PVM at one point had a native myrinet driver IIRC, but pretty much could never run any of the other advanced networks except as TCP/IP networks, which added a pretty huge latency hit per message from the TCP stack); a larger code base inherited from the old big iron supercomputers and more programmers moving from those supercomputers who were skilled at coding in it. More recently it sounds (from list discussions) like MPI has also gained some real technical advantages in the actual library internals, but you'd need to ask an MPI expert for an opinion there, not me. >> MS knifed IBM over OS/2 (which was a decently designed OS that might >> have given Unix a real run for its money) and hence lost out on all the > > I worked on OS/2, and it was no peach on the inside, so to speak ;) > it's hard to speculate about what-ifs on a system which had barely > shaken off its initial hw target (12 MHz 286!) by the time it was dropped. People I knew down here who worked on it (out in the park) thought pretty highly of it (probably about 2.0 or later versions of it -- the early 286-only versions were pretty rough as I understand it) but I myself never used it or NT -- I used Win 3.[0,1,2] at home, and while I used Win 95 for a brief time a) it sucked; b) I'd long been using and adminstering Unix networks, and had started using linux at home. Mind you, linux only ran with infinite pain on my small-memory 486 -- I barely could get slackware installed on an 8 MB system, although it supposedly COULD be installed on 4 -- but I got an AMD 5 system with (IIRC) 16 whole MB of memory and it ran charmlike on it. It did not suck -- it ran every bit as nicely as the Suns I had been using for many years at that point, and came with X and compilers and everything, for free. I never looked back. So my "decently designed" is definitely hearsay. The "knifed" part is more than JUST hearsay, though -- I met a bunch of IBMers at the Linux Expo over in Raleigh back in 1999 or thereabouts (I was running the Extreme Linux booth, and met Doug and Forrest and a bunch of other linux geek types there for the first time in human person:-). The IBMers HATED Microsoft, and were actually quite fond of linux. The reasons given were that MS had screwed IBM royally over OS/2, costing lots of their friends their jobs and depressing a whole section of the company. Linux was perceived as being a long term road to revenge -- as IBM gradually shrank down its residual OS/2 business they were working to replace it with linux. To this day, IBM is the only company that I know of that has advertised linux on TV. And then there is the MS settlement with IBM in an OS/2 antitrust action ($750 million, two years ago) where for that much money to exchange hands in a SETTLEMENT, one imagines that there was ample evidence of knife-wound blood -- so call it "heavily supported" hearsay. rgb -- Robert G.

Eagles tackle Todd Herremans had a bit of a hitch in his recovery from the dislocated bone in his foot that ended his 2012 season early.
Geoff Mosher of CSNPhilly.com reports that Herremans recently needed to have a surgical procedure on the foot after he developed an infection. Herremans, who also damaged ligaments when he was hurt, is recovering well and there's no indication that he'll be at risk of missing any offseason work for the team.
Mosher passes along word that Herremans remains firmly in the team's plans despite the change from Andy Reid to Chip Kelly at head coach. Herremans was one of three projected Eagles starters on the offensive line to have his season ended by an injury, joining left tackle Jason Peters and center Jason Kelce on the sideline as the Eagles season went up in smoke.
There was some talk at the end of the season about Herremans moving back to guard, where he played for the first few years of his career with the Eagles. Herremans said he's fine with such a move, although that was before the regime change that the Eagles underwent by hiring Kelly this month.

So I agree with you about nvidia & CUDA -- there's a huge programming toolset and lots of example code for the CUDA environment, so in terms of getting your feet wet, and getting up and running quickly, that's almost certainly the way to go, even if OpenCL is going to come in and take over down the road. Any of the GeForce cards listed at http://www.nvidia.com/object/cuda_learn_products.html will do; they'll be single precision, but for testing purposes in many situations that'll be fine. They have different specs, but for the purposes of learning some CUDA, just get the beefiest one you can find for under $(line at which you start to need permission) from your favourite reseller. For many PDE-solving type applications, getting factors of 10x over the CPU is fairly straightforward, and then you really have to start thinking -- but the payoffs for some problems can be well worth it.

NEW YORK -- Erik Karlsson scored the lone goal of the shootout in the fifth round and the Ottawa Senators snapped the New York Rangers' season-best five-game winning streak with a 2-1 victory on Thursday night.
Craig Anderson and Rangers counterpart Henrik Lundqvist both made 29 saves through overtime and both denied the first four shooters in the tiebreaker. Anderson got some help in the fifth round when Ryan Callahan got off a weak shot because his stick broke on the attempt.
Karlsson then solved Lundqvist to win it.
The game mattered much more to the Rangers, the seventh-place team in the Eastern Conference. New York closed within two points of sixth-place Montreal, which lost at Boston, with seven games left. The Senators are last in the East.
Ryan Shannon had given Ottawa a 1-0 lead in the second, but Brandon Prust tied it early in the third.
A big scrum in the Senators' crease with 1:40 left in regulation led to two minor penalties for each team that didn't affect on-ice manpower. However, Ottawa forward Chris Neil was whistled for holding with 25.7 seconds left to give the Rangers a power play for much of the first 2 minutes of overtime.
Anderson kicked out Marc Staal's shot just as Neil's penalty expired, and a lead pass sent Neil in alone on Lundqvist, who poke-checked the rolling puck off his stick.
Prust got the Rangers even at 1 at 2:45 of the second period during a delayed-penalty call. Staal, who missed the previous two games because of an undisclosed injury, raced the puck up the middle but was cut down at center ice by a sliding tackle from defenseman Chris Phillips. Staal got a pass off while on the ice to Prust, who glided into the right circle and snapped in his 12th goal.
The Rangers showed more life throughout the third period and generated chances that Anderson handled. New York killed Ryan McDonagh's holding penalty just past the midpoint of the period.
Shannon broke the scoreless deadlock with 4:39 left in the second when he converted off a circle-to-circle pass from Bobby Butler and beat Lundqvist from the right for his 10th goal this season and fourth in five games. It came just 21 seconds after Ottawa's first power play ended.
That marked the first time the Rangers were short-handed in two games after they earned a penalty-free, 1-0 victory over the Florida Panthers on Tuesday. New York had only one power play in that game and was given only one through 40 minutes against Ottawa.
Game notes
Shannon had scored only two goals in 34 games before this recent spurt. ... Senators D Sergei Gonchar missed his second game because of a concussion. ... Rangers D Matt Gilroy sat out to make room for Staal. LW Sean Avery was a healthy scratch for the fourth straight game and for the fifth time in six. ... The Rangers agreed to terms with free agent Jason Missiaen, a 20-year-old goalie who is 6-foot-8. He went 10-33-8 this season with a 3.33 goals-against average and .893 save percentage in 53 games with Baie-Comeau Drakkar of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League.

Notice: Array to string conversion sfToolkit.class.php on line 329
I got this problem when trying to implement a custom validator in the update.yml file. My solution was to split it up into a seperate named validator:
names: name_field: required: yes required_msg: A name must be entered validators: [valid_name, valid_name_hyphen] valid_name: class: sfRegexValidator param: match: Yes match_error: The name has invalid characters or is too short/long. pattern: /^[a-z0-9-]{2,63}$/im valid_name_hyphen: class: sfRegexValidator param: match: No match_error: The name cannot start or end with a hyphen. pattern: /^(-.+|.+-)$/im
Get the count of a column in PropelThe simplest solution is to just use the methods provided in the Propel model:
public function getArticles($criteria, $conn); public function countArticles($criteria, $distinct, $conn);
Or, you can do it manually:
public function countArticles(...} { $criteria = new Criteria(); $criteria->add(ArticlePeer::USER_ID, $this->getId()); return ArticlePeer::doCount($criteria); }
Global application variablesI wanted to share certain variables across multiple Symfony applications. My solution:
Add to the end of this file, and to every other config.php file in your applications:
// load additional config sfConfig::add(sfYaml::load(sfConfig::get('sf_config_dir').'/global.yml'));
Create a new file here:
# global application variables app_password_salt: 1234 app_email_sender: firstname.lastname@example.com
You can now access these variables like normal, e.g.
return sfConfig::get('app_password_salt'); // will return '1234'
However these variables will override other existing config variables. Things still left to do: Make it accept "normal" yaml structure; make it so that the config variables do not overwrite local settings.
OR: You can use settings.yml to create global settings with the sf_ prefix (read the end of this article).
Enabling Validation .yml for both GET and POSTNormally a myAction.yml file in the validate/ directory will only work on POST requests. You can change this to work on both GET and POST by adding this to your myAction.yml file:
methods: - get - post fields: ... and so on
"[propel-sql-exec] SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 1005 Can't create table"For more information on the error, you can log into MySQL as root and execute the command SHOW ENGINE INNODB STATUS:
------------------------ LATEST FOREIGN KEY ERROR ------------------------ 110816 15:53:44 Error in foreign key constraint of table ticketsfmini/ticket: FOREIGN KEY (`event_id`) REFERENCES `event` (`id`) ON DELETE SET NULL, INDEX `ticket_FI_2` (`user_id`), CONSTRAINT `ticket_FK_2` FOREIGN KEY (`user_id`) REFERENCES `user` (`id`) ON DELETE SET NULL )Type=InnoDB: You have defined a SET NULL condition though some of the columns are defined as NOT NULL.
Here, this error was occuring because I was trying to create a table with two foreign key references with onDelete set to setnull... but nulls are not allowed, as defined by required:
event_id: { type: integer, foreignTable: event, foreignReference: id, required: true, onDelete: setnull }
Remove the "required: true" declaration and this error message will not appear.

Search Continues For Driver In Lakewood Hit And Run [AUDIO]
A seventeen year old Lakewood teenager clings to life after undergoing surgery for severe head trauma following a hit and run incident in the township Sunday night. Now police are after the person behind the wheel when the accident happened.
Lakewood High School student Jenifer Gavilanez underwent surgeries for multiple brain bleeds and a severed temporal artery after she was hit by a vehicle while crossing an intersection at East County Line Road and Clifton Avenue on her way home.
As of Wednesday she remained in critical condition. At around 7:30 in the evening Gavilanez was heading northbound towards her home, and according to Lakewood police, stepped out onto the curb from the crosswalk when an eastbound vehicle hit her. Police believe the vehicle had a green light and hit Gavilanez as they were passing another car, and the teenager was crossing the street against the light.
Police are on the lookout for a suspect in the accident. Lakewood Traffic Safety patrolman David Silberstein describes as a 2005-2007 light colored Jeep Liberty as a possible person of interest in the investigation. While they were several surveillance cameras in the area, he says because of the time of day, plus the sky being dark due to incoming rain, they aren't relying on the cameras to provide a clear picture of what happened.
Silberstein and the other members of his department are continuing to search for the suspected van, however he says vigilance from residents is also needed.
"A lot of this does come back to the public because somebody know something about this. There's got to be someone out there who knows there neighbor's vehicle isn't there anymore. It's normally outside it's not there."
He notes there is a good chance the SUV also sustained some damage during the accident.
"It should have front end damage on the passenger side front corner, missing the marker light and possibly part of the turn signal. And damage to the mirror on the passenger side, the mirror may still be attached to the vehicle but the glass is gone."
Gavilanez's tragic accident serves as a reminder of staying safe as a pedestrian says Silberstein. He says even though cars are required by law to yield towards a pedestrian; pedestrians need to only cross when it is safe to do so.
"Just because there's a crosswalk there doesn't mean that it's safe to cross. You have to remember that vehicles need time to stop, they need to be able to see you. They can't always see you especially when it's dark."
That also means making yourself visible at night, preferably by wearing a reflector or not wearing only dark colors. Silberstein say police believe that Galvilanez also was wearing dark colors, and combined with the time of day and low visibility from the rain approaching, made her more difficult to see.
