By now, many of you have heard Pac-12 coordinator of officials Ed Rush said to referees he'd offer $5,000 or a trip to Cancun if they hit Arizona men's basketball head coach Sean Miller with a technical foul or eject him during internal meetings at the conference tournament according to a story by CBSSports.com.
Miller was given a technical foul late in the Wildcats' 66-64 loss to UCLA in the semifinals of the tournament on a double dribble call that wasn't a double dribble on replays. Miller received the technical supposedly as he's yelling "he touched the ball", meaning the opponent knocked the ball out of his player's hands, so dribbling should have been allowed again.
The referee, Michael Irving, handed out the technical.
Pac-12 commissioner Larry Scott said and then-UCLA coach Ben Howland said there was a pre-game warning regarding sideline behavior and coaches were instructed several times during the contest to remain in their respective boxes in a related story from ESPN.com.
Scott said he does not believe Rush should be fired, saying Rush was joking when he made the offer and that the discussion was that the referees shouldn't be as lenient as they were during the regular season.
Referees talking with a coach saying something like this is usually a joke. It's an understood joke, especially with a member of the media in the room when it was said. I've heard many coaches throughout the state joking with referees before games about taking it "easy on me" or "make it tough on (put opposing coach name here)." The tone is obviously jovial and not meant to be a reality.
However, it's different when a head of officials discusses anything involving the actual attempt of changing a game on purpose behind closed doors; and joking or not, the "offer" — or "bounty" as some have said — made by Rush would count as a chance to undermine the integrity of officials, especially on suspect calls.
Screaming at referees is normal and I've heard times when people have yelled that you are biased for the other team; and that goes to all levels from t-ball (no joke, I heard it by some when my then three-year-old son played for Mullinville) to professional sports (although we do have instant replay to help on some calls at the collegiate and pro levels, and my venture is that the calls are right 75 percent of the time).
Why bring that up? Because when things aren't going their way, most of the time the fans don't blame the players or the coach and the players don't blame themselves or the coaches. They blame the referees.
I've had people come up to me and say "those were bad officials" or "I wonder how much they were paid off to cheat us out of the win." I've heard that here involving the Red Demons and Conquistadors; as I did El Dorado and Augusta when it came to the Wildcats, Orioles, Thunderbirds (Circle High) and the Butler Grizzlies.
I also can say I've never "outted" a referee I thought was cheating. Referees, like players and coaches, can have "bad games" and there are some officials who call differently than what many like, but that's not cheating. There have been a few I really thought of as "hometown referees", but again, that's my opinion and shouldn't be thought of as law.
I never question a call an official has made in public, that's not fair to him or her. If I run into the official later, I would ask off the record, what they saw to make the call. That's not questioning the ability of or challenging that person in their qualifications of being a referee. Most referees in the Jayhawk Conference or where I have written know this of me and I feel I have a great relationship with those officials because you have to give them the benefit of doubt.
Now you have an official in charge of the referees telling them to do something at least "dishonest" and they could get rewarded. How many other coaches could have that problem. I was listening on the radio to Wichita State's Gregg Marshall saying he knew of some referee "bias", but took the high road and didn't name any official.
It seems that this behavior when it comes to this "joke", meant or not, has put referees, umpires and officials in situations they might not deserve and a much closer scrutiny.

- VM CPU affinity is not supported. You don't need to set CPU affinity for the VMs that are running Cisco Unified EIM-WIM applications on the VMware ESXi on UCS platform.
- VM resource Reservation - VM resource reservation is not supported for the VMs that are running Cisco Unified EIM-WIM applications on the VMware ESXi on UCS platform. The VM computing resources should have a default reservation setting, which is no resource reservations.
- You cannot change the computing resource configuration of your VM at any time.
- You can never go below the minimum VM computing resource requirements as defined in the OVA templates.
- ESXi Server hyperthread is enabled by default.
Cisco Unified EIM-WIM Component Capacities and VM Configuration Requirements
This table shows the supported Cisco Unified EIM-WIM components, their capacities, and the VM computing resource requirements. You must use the OVA virtual machine templates to create the Cisco Unified EIM-WIM component VMs.
Note: For Virtual Machines that need more than 4 vCPUs, the VMware vSphere ESXi Enterprise Plus licensing is required (8 way virtual SMP capability). The VMware vSphere Enterprise Plus license can be procured from the Cisco build-to-order or directly from the VMware (see VMware Purchasing section above.)
For different sizing configuration , please refer to Unified Communications Virtualization Downloads (including OVA/OVF Templates)
Cisco Unified EIM-WIM Component Co-Residency
You can have one or more EIM-WIM components co-resident on the same ESXi server. However, you must follow the rules described below:
1)EIM/WIM Virtual Machines with the exception of DB server Virtual Machine can co-reside with any other UC application Virtual Machine unless there is no oversubscription of CPU and Memory. DB Server Virtual Machine can co-reside with UC applications Virtual Machines which are not DB server themselves
2)Co-Residency of EIM-WIM components with third party application is not supported
3)You can have any number of EIM-WIM virtual machines on an ESXi server as long as the sum of all the virtual machine CPU and memory resource allocation is not over committed on the available ESXi server computing resources.
4) You must not have CPU overcommitted on the ESXi server that is running EIM-WIM components . The total number of vCPUs among all the virtual machines on an ESXi host must not greater than the total number of CPUs available on the ESXi server. In the case of the Cisco UCS B-200 M1, the total number of CPUs available is 8.
5)You must not have memory overcommitted on the ESXi host that is running UC realtime applications. You must allocate minimum 2GB of memory for the ESXi kernel. For example, if an ESXi server on B-200 M1 hardware has 36GB of memory, after you allocate 2GB for the ESXi kernel, you have 34GB available for the virtual machines. The total memory allocated for all the virtual machines on an ESXi server must not be greater than 34GB in this case.
Performance Requirements
CPU usage (average) should not exceed 60% for the ESXi Server and for each of the individual processors, and for each VM. Memory usage (average) should not exceed 80%x for the ESXi Server and for each of the VMs. VM snapshots are not supported in production since they have significant impact on system performance.
The data is collected from the test run of 200 users working on Email, 200 users working on Chat and 200 more working on Blended Collaboration activities (Total of 600 agents). Email activities were processing at 12 per hour per agent and Chat and Blended Collaboration activities were processed at the rate of 10 per hour per agent.

At different points this season, this forum has been dominated by:
1. Wilson needs to be benched for Flynn
2. Darrell Bevell isn't doing a good enough job
3. When will Pete Carroll be on the hot seat
As we prepare for the biggest game of the season so far, the following is true:
1. Wilson is a legit candidate for offensive rookie of the year, breaking multiple records this season while looking every bit a franchise quarterback.
2. Bevell has organised the offense from which Wilson has excelled and been able to achieve his success. The team also has one of the best rushing attacks in the league, has been creative and conservative at various times and has executed the type of trick plays that seemed to beat us all the time in the Holmgren era. Our offense has produced long, 80-90 yard drives but has also mastered the quick strike. The guy deserves a lot more credit.
3. Carroll inherited a hopeless team with zero identity going absolutely nowhere fast. And he's one win away from guaranteeing two playoff appearances in three seasons with that same team, having built a fine identity, core of franchise players, found a franchise quarterback. The list goes on. He's turned the Seahawks into a contender that people are starting to say could make the Super Bowl this season. A truly remarkable job.
Three people who have been knocked during the course of the year, all doing fantastic jobs for this team.

As an animal lover, I am highly disturbed by the letter "Preying on Farmers" (July 16).
Farmers and horse owners who take care of their animals are at no risk from any animal welfare agency. If they neglect their animals to the point where they are walking skeletons infected by poor care; if they hire someone who is not a vet to do illegal surgery on their animal; or let the animal suffer pain without veterinary treatment, I would certainly hope someone steps up to do the right thing.
Reputable animal rescue organizations do not sell their animals, they adopt them out with a contract that the animal is to come back to the rescue if the owner no longer wants or can care for it. The adopter is required to provide adequate food, shelter, water and medical care or risk the animal being taken back by the rescue.
I am aware of the case the writer discussed, and the rescue has a clear adoption questionnaire and adoption contract. Adoption fees are generally $300 to $500, an amount highly unlikely to pay for a couple months' worth of feed, shelter, medical attention and care for a horse. Furthermore, there are so many well-fed free animals out there that no rescue group needs to steal animals.
Rescue groups and other small nonprofit charities most often have significant funding from their founder and work hard to find grants and donors. We animal lovers applaud their efforts to make the lives of animals more comfortable. We donate because we clearly see they are making a difference. I am sure that I have personally donated to more than 50 animal rescue groups nationwide for just that reason.
If people need assistance, they need to stand up and ask for it — it will be given or a home will be found for their animals. There are many instances when the rescue organization in question has stepped up to help people who asked for it.
Animal lovers will look with scorn upon a group taking animals in good condition from sanitary facilities. But the animals in question were in pitiful condition and the owners should be ashamed for not stepping up and asking for help. If the hay crop is bad, buy hay. If they have special needs, get special feeds or medications. If they are sick or need to be castrated, call a vet. No excuses.

So do stones have energies that can make you feel at ease? Or give you certain feelings?
Like if your sad is there a certain stone you can keep around that would make you happy?
If your scared is there a stone that will ease your fears? etc.
I'm not sure I ever looked at it like this Jolly. I think that there are people who do believe that stones do have certain energies associated with them. I did have a lapis lazuli pendulum "pick" me a couple of years ago at a fair. I was looking at several of them (I collect them) and when I picked up this one, it began to move, swinging in a wide arc for several minutes. The vendor told me that it was tuned to my energy and then gave me a hefty discount, saying it was mine anyway.
Black Shuck, this topic is for the discussion of stones and the connection we have with certain kinds. You should start a new discussion with what you posted here, as it is interesting, though not related to this discussion.

Difference between revisions of "Peterhof"
Revision as of 12:28, 24 February 2014
Peterhof (in Russian: Петерго́ф) or Petergof (Dutch/German for "Peter's Court"), known as Petrodvorets (Russian: Петродворец) from 1944 to 1992, is a municipal town within Petrodvortsovy District of the federal city of Saint Petersburg, on the southern shore of the Gulf of Finland.
The town is famous for its a series of palaces and gardens known as the Peterhof Palace, laid out on the orders of Peter the Great, and sometimes called the "Russian Versailles", but also for the "Petrodvorets Watch Factory - Raketa", a 300 years old Russian watch manufacture. The palace-ensemble along with the city center is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The area was extensively damaged during World War II during occupation by Nazi Germany. Reconstruction efforts began almost immediately following the war, and they are still underway. Peterhof also hosts one of two campuses of Saint Petersburg State University.
Peterhof is a Dutch and German word meaning "Peter's Court". Peter was fascinated by the West and took on many of its customs in his court, switched to the Julian calendar, and so on. Western European influence is abound in the Peterhof, called the Russian Versailles. Peter played an active role in the layout and design of the Peterhof ensemble that he started in 1714, although it continued to be developed after his death. In 1721 Peter the Great also founded next to his palace the Peterhof Fabric that later became the "Petrodvorets Watch Factory - Raketa" producing since 1962 the famous Russian watches under the brand "Raketa" in honor of Yuri Gagarin.
New and Old Peterhof
Sometimes it is useful to speak of New Peterhof (Russian: Новый Петергоф, Novy Peterhof) and Old Peterhof (Russian: Старый Петергоф, Stary Peterhof). New Petergof is in the area with the palaces and parks. Old Peterhof is that area to the west, on the way to Lomonosov.
World War II
Before the German occupation of Peterhof, attempts were made to remove or bury Peterhof's treasures. The efforts were somewhat successful. Despite the attempts, the area was extensively looted, vandalized, and damaged during the war. It was renamed Petrodvorets (Russian: Петродворец, Peter's Palace) following World War II because of anti-German sentiment. In 1997, it was renamed back to Петергоф.
Get in
Visitors on a tour package are likely to have Peterhof on their itinerary. Nonetheless, there are several methods for travelers to visit Peterhof.
By boat
Visitors can take a hydrofoil between Peterhof and Saint Petersburg. Tickets can be bought behind the Hermitage museum (also known as the Winter Palace) on the Neva River. The time to Peterhof is roughly 45 minutes. It is the fastest and most expensive (about 450 RUR for a ticket) way to get from Saint Petersburg to Peterhof. The trip is often touted as offering great views. Some, however, find this a disappointing overstatement.
There are two hydrofoil companies (Russian Cruises [1], 450 RUB one-way ticket and Vodokhod [2]), each offering a discount rate for a return ticket if original ticket from their company is present. However, from time to time one of them becomes out of service--which leads you to paying full amount for a return trip as well.
If you arrive by hydrofoil and want to leave lower park for eating out, there's a trick on how to return without paying admission fee for the second time. Ask for details upon arrival in the ticket office at the pier.
By train
In Saint Petersburg take the train from Baltisky railvay station (Baltiiskaya subway station Red line) to New (Novyi) Peterhof.
Buy the ticket to the "Novyi Peterghoff" station and get into the commuter train. In 45 minutes you will be in Peterhof. Watch station signs closely and know the cyrillic spelling beforehand as there are no announcements or signs on the train. After you get off the train you shall take one of the buses that park on the square in front of the train station. WC is on the right, near the bus park area. Numbers are 250, 251, 552, 556. Fifth stop is yours – Peterhof Parks. You can also walk from the station to the park by the Avrova street, which takes you directly to the park ticket office, it takes approx. 40 minutes. Get to know the route beforehand and buy a city map - there are no signs in town.
Bear in mind that commuter trains from Baltisky railvay station go to different routes, so you need to get into the train to Oranienbaum 1 (Russian: Ораниенбаум 1), Novyi Peterhof or Kalische (Russian: Калище).
By bus
Municipal buses 200 and 210 run from the AVTOVO subway red line station to Peterhoff, 200 - to Oranienbaum (Lomonosov) thru the Peterhoff. Tickets cost 50 RUR (about 1.5 USD) and buses run frequently, every 10-20 min. Time to travel is around of 40-60 min, depending of jams. Usually buses are crowded and commonly all seats are taken.
Bus 404 leaving in front of the BALTIYSKAYA station stopping in front of the Peterhof entrance. Tickets costs oneway 70 RUR. The bus runs frequently and takes about 45 minutes.
By Metro and Minibus (shuttle bus)
Take the subway down to 'AVTOVO' station (red line), cross the "prospect Stachek" street by the underground way, exit to the right and get in one of many minibuses, for ex. #424, #224. They all have big sign "ФОНТАНЫ" and "ПЕТЕРГОФ" which means your destination. Minibus will bring you directly to the entrance of the Upper Park in 30-50 minutes, depending of jams, for 70 RUR, but prices may vary. Don't forget to tell the driver where you want to get off the bus. Watch for a large cathedral on your left. The Upper Garden will follow shortly after on your right, you'll see the fence and gates. Check out Google's Street View of the area to familiarize yourself.
By taxi
Could be expensive, however. Street taksists are often criminal elements, and if they know that you are foreign citizen, they try to cheat you by multiplying the price twice or more. Be careful!
By car
Highway A121 (several local names) which goes east-west.
Get around
Walking is the practical way to get around Peterhof.
There is a gas station in Old Peterhof (near the old watch factory).
Peterhof [3] offers the visitor a suburban atmosphere with plenty of parks, gardens, fountains, and palaces to see.
The "Petrodvorets Watch Factory - Raketa" is open for visits from Monday to Friday from 9am to 3pm. call before hand: +7 926 633 73 68 . It is worth to visit both in one day, Peter's Palace and the watch factory.
The Peterhof ensemble
Many of the palaces are now museums. Hours and days of operation vary, however, almost everything is closed on the last Tuesday of each month.
The fountains operate from May to mid-October every day of the week from 11AM-5PM.
Other parks
The Petrodvorets Watch Factory - Raketa
While you are there you may visit one of the last watch manufactures in the world producing its own movements from A to Z and certainly the last one in Russia. It is Russia's oldest factory in activity. It was founded by Peter the Great in 1721 and watches are produced under the Raketa brand since Gagarin's flight to space in 1961. It is best to call the factory before hand to organize the visit. (+7 926 633 7368 / [email protected]) closed on week-ends.
While you are there go and see the beautiful church directly opposite upper park entrance.
World War II memorial
This memorial is known locally as The Cannons. The memorial is located in Old Peterhof at the T-intersection of A121 and Petergofskaya Ulitsa (Russian: Петергофская Улица, Peterhof Street). On the east side is a small graveyard and obelisk and on the west side are some disabled artillery pieces.
Walk up and down the street to Saint Petersburg and see the palace, gardens, and fountains for which Peterhof is known.
In this particular case, the word "dvoika" comes from the Soviet time, when all shops in every city had their unqiue numbers. Cafe Dvoika is located on the premises of the old groceries store no.2, that is where the name comes from.
Since the alcohol sale law has been hardened in Russia, alcoholic beverages can be found only in malls or shops.
There are a few hotels in Peterhof. Saint Petersburg, however, has plenty.
There is a free Wifi access point "Obit" around the palace.

With Snowdown coming up this week, what is the proper way to carry snow skis on the roof of your SUV? And what is the geek way? Tips facing the front or back? Sandwich them or separate them? Sign me, Robert the Geek Ski Bum
Lets take a slow chairlift to the summit of nerdy ski transportation techniques in honor of Snowdowns theme iSnowdown 2.01.3: Get Your Geek On.
When it comes to winter sports geeky faux pas, Action Line witnessed more than his fair share during a 10-year stint up yonder.
It was the 90s, a decade that began with fluorescent day-glow green and pink and ending with jewel-toned fur trim. Roof racks were cool back in the day, and they still are when they are used to carry sports gear.
When a roof rack is used for other purposes, say for transporting the family dog in a crate on a 12-hour drive to Canada, there are issues. Just ask Mitt Romney. But thats a different matter.
But todays true outdoor gear freak-geek has a rocketbox, a torpedo-shaped container attached to the roof rack.
Theres nothing really geeky about these, other than the proliferation of stickers.
If you want to really be a geek, you could do what an old friend, Alan, witnessed one day.
Alan was driving up the mountain in a blinding snowstorm. He passed a car with out-of-state plates. On its roof was a rack full of skis. Tips forward and bases facing down. But thats not all.
The people had snapped their ski boots into the bindings before putting them on the roof rack, thus ensuring everyone will have an unspeakably miserable day of cold, wet feet.
Another dorky occurrence involved a winter-sports enthusiast who had a roof rack, but no ski attachment. Bungee cords and duct tape did the trick.
From the parking lot to the slopes, a favorite geek technique is the Texas suitcase, in which one ski pole strap is slipped over the tips of skis and the other pole strap slipped over the tails.
The skier then holds the poles like a handle and totes his long baggage to the lifts.
It looks really geeky, and unless things are perfectly balanced, the skis will slip out of the straps and crash to the ground, creating a yard sale and reaffirming ones status as a gaper.
Action Line checked with Kim Oyler, spokeswoman for Durango Mountain Resort, as to the status of geekiness this season.
Its not too bad, but you still see folks in the rental shop put on their equipment and try to ski out the door across the concrete, she said. And theres the usual jeans and Carhartts.
You also see a onesie every so often, she added, referring to a regrettable one-piece ski jumpsuit.
But geeks will have their day this Sunday, when DMR hosts the Snowdown Dummy Big Air event.
Purgs website has all the details. Build a geek-themed dummy on skis or a snowboard. Once the dummies are judged, they will be hauled up a slope, most likely the run Demon, according to event organizer Tori Ossola.
The dummies are then pushed downhill toward a massive jump built for the event. There are prizes for the most creative dummy, farthest traveled, biggest air and best crash. Its free to enter and free to watch.
The dummy judging begins at 10:30, and the downhill race begins at 11 a.m.
If youre building a dummy, be sure to get it to the mountain before that. So a roof rack will come in handy.
Imagine zooming up to DMR with not only skis on your vehicles roof, but a dummy strapped on top. Now thats geeky.
Email questions to email@example.com or mail them to Action Line, The Durango Herald, 1275 Main Ave., Durango, CO 81301. You can request anonymity if you still have a pair of straight skis hanging up in the garage.

Sean Rowe Bio (2012)
Several years ago musician and naturalist Sean Rowe walked out into the wilderness alone. He spent the next 24 days constructing shelter and foraging for food to eat. He would come away from the experience with the songs that would eventually comprise his dazzling debut album Magic. The San Francisco Chronicle described the record as "beautiful and haunting."
On his new album The Salesman and the Shark, Rowe has created a work that brilliantly reconfigures classic sounds in support of his intensely observational lyrics and the remarkable ever evolving vocals which inspired No Depression Magazine to succinctly state, "Man, that voice."
Rowe is a native of the lush rolling hills and history rich locale of upstate New York. He came of age listening to his father's record collection featuring The Beach Boys, Elvis Presley and more. But in his teen years it was soul and blues of John Lee Hooker, Muddy Waters, Marvin Gaye and Ray Charles that spoke to the bourgeoning singer-songwriter. "I remember thinking how magical it was that I could listen to that stuff over and over again and it would never fail to hit my spine," he says. "It was also cool to me that I felt like I found that stuff on my own. No one pointed me to it. I felt like it was mine."
Upon reading a book called "The Tracker" by renowned naturalist Tom Brown as a teenager, Rowe discovered passion for nature and the wilderness that would continue to parallel and compliment his musical journey. He eventually attended courses at Brown's Wilderness Survival School. "My journey with music and my exploration of nature started together," he explains. "I can't really separate the two. Because I spent a lot of time growing up in the woods, the naturalistic elements have always had an effect on my writing. It's my religion, and I try to convey that in my songs."
While his philosophy was shaped in nature, Rowe's powerful baritone was formed in a more traditional manner, singing amidst the boisterous din of local bars. "When I was 18 to 25 you could make a living by playing the bar scene and that's what I did'" he says. "It was four hour sets with a short break in between. I didn't have that many originals so I would play a lot of covers. But I never sang a song I didn't want to play. I did mainly classic R&B, early soul and blues and I loved it. Those years really honed my singing and my ability to work with an audience. "
After several years playing in crowded bars, Rowe headed into the wilderness for some much needed solitude. He lived at a survival school called Hawk Circle Wilderness Education for an entire year and eventually embarking on the 24-day solo survival quest. "I spent an entire year living off the land and going into the woods and surviving on my own," he says. "I can't think of a more pure experience. I wrote most of the songs that were my first album while at the survival school. Writing for me is a very solitary experience. The wilderness is my home and my filter. I try to allude to something bigger in my music, but in a subtle way."
A creatively reinvigorated Rowe returned to performing with a newfound devotion. A successful tour of England opening for Noah and the Whale was followed by the Anti release of his debut album Magic to overwhelming critical praise. In between touring the world and recording his anticipated follow up album, Rowe continued to write about nature for the Albany Times Union. In November of 2011, he welcomed a son named Jack.
The Salesman and the Shark, is a creative tour de force showcasing Rowe's gifted writing and absolutely astonishing voice. It was recorded live at historic Vox Recording Studios in Los Angeles using only real instruments. It was produced by Woody Jackson utilizing the very same mixing board used to make timeless classics such as The Rolling Stones Exile On Main Street, T-Rex's Electric Warrior, The Beach Boy's Smile and seminal works by Tom Waits, Neil Young and more.
Appropriately, the soulful and evocative sounds on the record are a faultless blend of the warmly familiar and astonishingly new. The songs move effortlessly between a sense of cathartic intimacy and an epic cinematic like sound complete with a nine piece string section. As Rowe's explains, "The songs on this record are all very different structurally but they have this consistent sound and feel which has to do with where and how they were recorded. Early on we agreed on the aesthetic of the record which was just keeping it as organic and as live as possible. And I think it really gave it that timeless feel. "
Producer Woody Jackson adds, "Sean Rowe is just an amazing singer. When you first hear his voice, you can't figure out if it's for real or not. The atmosphere was just really amazing throughout the recording. Everything just came together naturally. My main goal throughout was to just be true to the songs which were phenomenal. His vocals and the melodies were king."
The album's dramatic opening track "Bring Back The Night" plays as a heartfelt mission statement, beginning as an intimate country tinged waltz and building in power and scale as Rowe's breathtaking vocals are joined by a lush chorus and tapestry of instruments. The song "Signs" utilizes an unconventional structure to suggest the feel of a dream involving Rowe's departed father and a yearning for more time with those gone. The record takes a departure with the fuzzed out and joyfully percussive "Joe's Cult" and reaches genuinely epic heights on the surging sonic landscape of Rowe's "Horses."
The resulting record is ambitious and profoundly moving, a momentous collection of songs that would feel perfectly at home on a cherished classic album, or as just what they are, a riveting tour de force by an important new talent named Sean Rowe.

Sturgis boys win, girls fall
The Sturgis basketball teams hosted Battle Creek Harper Creek on senior night Friday.
The Lady Trojans have no seniors on the roster, but the boys celebrated the senior achievements of their seven seniors.
Sturgis' girl's team was decked out in pink attire, helping raise awareness for cancer research in Friday's game.
Harper Creek 41, Sturgis 18 (girls)
The Lady Trojans played very well defensively in three quarters Friday night, but fell to the visiting No. 10 Lady Beavers 41-18.
Sturgis wasn't able to score in the opening eight minutes, but Harper only held a 6-0 lead.
"Defensively to beat Harper Creek you have to press them and their only loss was to St. Joe, who is the best pressing team in our conference," Sturgis coach Brian Beebe said. "We forced some mistakes, but weren't able to do enough with those mistakes."
Sturgis forced 16 turnovers on the evening. With the win, Harper Creek clinches at least a share of the SMAC East title.
Harper's big quarter came in the second, when they scored 18 points. The Lady Beavers led 24-2 at halftime.
Courtney Lovelace connected on a jumper for the Lady Trojans 10:00 into the game, giving Sturgis its only points of the first two quarters.
Jozlin Johnson scored nine points in the first half, adding three assists to lead Harper to their lead at the break.
Sturgis scored four third quarter points and held Harper to only nine, but still trailed 33-6 heading into the final eight minutes.
Morgan Pueschel, Rachel Anderson and Marissa Parker each split a pair at the line, but a deuce from Karlee Hancock pushed Harper's lead to 38-9.
Beebe's team wanted to spread the floor in the game and was able to do so, but wasn't able to capitalize until late in the game.
"In that fourth quarter we started to see our offense work," Beebe said. "We have three games next week so it was good to see us have a great fourth quarter. It's good to see us play well and have success in that final quarter."
Down 38-9, Sturgis connected for nine straight points, getting buckets from Anderson, Pueschel and Kayla Nichols. However, it wasn't enough for Sturgis.
The Lady Trojans got good minutes off the bench from Maddie Mercer and Taya Anding in the contest.
"This was Mercer's first varsity experience, and she proved tonight you don't have to score to be important," Beebe said. "She went full speed the whole time, I'm happy with her effort tonight."
Anderson led Sturgis with seven while Parker added four and Pueschel chipped in three. Both Nichols and Lovelace scored four points.
Sturgis 55, Harper Creek 43 (boys)
A big defensive effort from the Sturgis boy's team propelled them to a 55-43 win over Harper Creek on Friday. It was senior night for the Trojans, who came in with a focused effort after falling to the Beavers in Battle Creek last month.
"It was nice to play a great game on senior night," senior Jalen Cox said. "I think it was a relief that we had a successful senior night, especially with Harper Creek coming in."
Fellow senior and point guard Tyler Bennett echoed the thoughts from Cox after the game.
"This was a big deal, even with all the distractions," Bennett said. "Harper is a rival and this was the last Friday night home game for us, so to win this game was big for us."
Sturgis wanted to attack Harper on the inside, trying not to settle for 3-pointers and perimeter shots.
Head coach Keith Kurowski said he was pleased with his team's efforts Friday.
"I want the ball in the highest scoring position possible and we want to get the ball in the post and I'd be happy if we took 80 percent of our shots from there," he said. "I think the boys have done a great job of making that extra pass and getting a higher percentage shot."
Harper wasn't phased by it being senior night in Sturgis, the Beavers came out and took an 8-0 lead early. The Trojans' first bucket came at the 2:22 mark by senior Patrick Haas. Sturgis' next four points came at the foul line as Cox connected on all four of his free throws in the quarter.
Then, in the second, Sturgis fell behind by eight points as Harper raced out with Josh Bass connected on a layup with two free throws from Jake Andrews as well. They led 14-6, but the layup from Bass at the 6:06 mark of the second quarter would be the final points of the half for Harper.
Sturgis scored the final 11 points with Jack Scheske hitting two jumpers and Cox connecting for five points. Cox was 6-of-6 from the stripe in the first half.
The Trojans, up 17-14 at the break, certainly felt good, especially shooting just 22 percent. To top that off, leading scorer Chance Stewart was held scoreless in the opening 16 minutes.
"If you would have told me we'd shoot 22 percent in the first half and still be up, I'd have thought it was April Fool's," Kurowski said. "We played as poorly in the first half as we have in a long, long time. What kept us in the game was our tough man-to-man defense."
The third quarter went back and forth with each team getting shots on the interior.
Stewart scored seven third quarter points while Bennett and Cox each got offensive put-backs. Sturgis rebounded the ball very well on the night, out-rebounding the Beavers 41-24.
And the offense came with it — Sturgis out-scored Harper 38-29 in the final two quarters.
"We wanted to attack tonight and I thought we attacked very well," Cox said. "Coach told us to keep attacking until the end of the game."
Harper closed to without eight a couple times, but Sturgis flexed its muscles, especially at the line.
Sturgis finished 14-of-17 from the stripe.
"We've always been a good free-throw shooting team in practice and it was good to shoot well from there tonight," Bennett said. "I thought we handled their pressure well and we didnt compound mistakes. We were able to slow it down and I think that helped us tonight."
Cox led all scorers with 19 points, adding eight rebounds while Stewart had 14 points and 19 rebounds. Haas finished with 10 points, five rebounds and three assists. Scheske connected for six points, Bennett had four and Eduardo Portillo added two.
Bass, who hurt Sturgis for 19 in the previous game, scored his fifth-lowest point total with only 10 Friday.
"It was nice to hold him to a very minimal offensive output," Kurowski said.
Kurowski added he was proud of his seniors.
"I told them before the game how proud I was of them, of the whole team," he said. "All our guys have great dedication and commitment and we have great character."
Sturgis hosts Stevensville-Lakeshore on Tuesday.

. An officer was dispatched to a residence for a report of an assault on a male by his brother, who had left the location on foot. The suspect also had an active restraining order against him from contact with the residence or the family members. Medics were on scene treating the victim of the assault. The victim told officers he had come home from school and was in the kitchen when his brother came in and hit him three times with a dumbbell-type weight. The officer could see a puddle of blood and blood drops all over the kitchen floor. The officer found the 20 pound dumbbell hidden in a bedroom behind a large speaker. The brother was located and taken into custody. An ER physician's report stated that the incident caused bodily injury to the victim. The suspect told officers that he had gotten mad at his brother, and admitted to hitting him four to six times with a closed fist. When asked if he had hit his brother with the dumbbell, he stated, "yeah, when he was laying down." The suspect was arrested for felony 2nd degree assault and protection order violation.
. An officer spoke with a female reporting party in reference to harassing phone calls. The woman stated that she was contacted on her home phone by someone claiming to be from a company that advertises computer repair on television. The unknown male on the phone told her that she had several things wrong with her computer and for the small fee of $25, they could fix this problem for her. The woman told the caller that she did not really have the money to do this now. The male caller told her that he could bill her for the $25 next month, and the woman agreed to this, giving him her bank card number and the PIN number for the card. The man told her that he would have to call her back on her cell phone so the home phone line would be open for him to remotely access her computer. The woman spoke with him again, using her cell phone and he proceeded to access her computer remotely, installing several unknown programs on her computer. The woman told the officer that she didn't give the incident much thought until two days later when she attempted to use her bank card at the store and it was declined at the checkout stand. The woman knew she had money in her account, so she contacted her bank and found that the account had been emptied, after finding that someone had withdrawn six payments of $150 and one payment of $340 since the phone call two days prior. The woman stated that she had begun receiving several phone calls from different phone numbers since this event. The woman was told by the officer not to give out any more of her personal information to anyone else, and to not answer phone calls from numbers that she does not recognize. The officer attempted to call the phone number on the woman's cell phone that the man had called from, but reached a message that stated the number had been disconnected.
. An officer met with a woman at the police station for a report of a theft. She stated that on Dec. 5 at around 11:30 a.m. FedEx had delivered a package to her residence, but she was not home at the time. She contacted FedEx to confirm the package was delivered, and FedEx told her the package had been signed for by an unknown female who had signed the reporting party's name for the package. The package was from the reporting party's parents and contained three envelopes with $30 in each and a Casio FX-CG10 calculator. The reporting party had been at work at the time of the delivery, and her children were at school.
. An officer met with a man in front of the police department who told him that he had recently been released from a six-month prison sentence. Before he went to prison, he was living with a woman, and while he was incarcerated, she was evicted from their residence. The reporting party said that he had various cable and internet devices at the residence, including a DVR receiver, an HD receiver, and an AT&T phone modem, with the first two items belonging to Dish Network, and the modem belonging to AT&T. The male said that he needed to return these items in order not to be charged for them, and he believed the woman had taken them and would not return them. The officer spoke with the woman on the phone, and she stated that the items were not in the man's name. She also stated that the items were in storage because she was evicted, and she would return the items to the owners, and had no intention of keeping the items. The male reporting party said that he did not want to pursue any charges if the woman was willing to return the items.
. An officer was dispatched to an area downtown for a suspect that had broken into a vehicle in the back of a business and was still inside of it. Three officers arrived and met with the business' management and an employee. Officers were told that they heard glass breaking and someone was rummaging around inside a fifth wheel trailer located behind the business' parking lot, and whoever had done it was still inside the trailer. Officers approached the trailer and could hear noise from inside like someone was going through the cabinets. One of the officers knocked on the door and announced police. A male voice inside said "hello," and officers repeated that it was the police and requested that the suspect come to the door. The suspect inside attempted to open the door but was unable to do so and stuck his head out the window to the left of the door. The male suspect advised that he could not open the door, he did not have a key, and that he had climbed in through the broken window. Officers asked if this was his residence, and he stated, yes, he was staying there with a friend. When asked who his friend was, the suspect, who showed several indicators of intoxication, could not remember his name. A neighbor provided the name of the trailer's owner, who was out of town. When officers contacted him on the phone, he denied giving anyone other than his son permission to stay in the trailer, and his son was not in town. When he was informed of the damage to the trailer, he said that he wished to file charges against the suspect. The damage to the window appeared to have just happened. The suspect was arrested and told police that he had met a guy and told him that he was cold and needed a place to chill. He stated that the guy told him he could stay at his trailer, and could go in through the window if the door was locked. He was charged with first degree criminal trespass and criminal mischief.
. An officer responded to a local gas station for a report of damage that had occurred to a gas pump. The officer found that the damage had been done to one of the credit card readers on a pump. The card reader had somehow been removed and had then been pushed into the interior of the gas pump. There was no other damage to the machine. The officer was able to review security video of the incident, and observed a dark colored car with probable New Mexico plates pull up to the pump at 12:23 a.m. and attempt to get gas. An unknown male tried to use his credit card twice to turn the pump on, but apparently the card reader was defective or the card would not work. The male became angry and then used the metal end of the gas hose to strike the card reader a few times, knocking it into the machine.

Wouldn't they have played him if he was allowed to take a pay cut?
A combination, he wasn't playing like a 6 million dollar defenceman. Sure he was still a NHL quality guy just not at that price tag. They also had other guys they wanted to bring in.
I just seen the NHLPA and NHL are trying to figure out how to settle Gomez and Redden, rangers want them to sit out so they can't get injured and buy them out next season. The NHLPA want to find a way so they can play the year, and still get bought out. I say, allow thoes guys to sign somewhere else, and rangers got to pay that salary also on top of buying out their contractsnext season. Redden and Gomez fear sitting a year will end their career.
I guess they can't just be happy stealing 6 or 7 million, can they.

Cisco Unity Connection Provisioning Interface (CUPI) API -- For End Users
From DocWiki
Links to Other API pages: Cisco_Unity_Connection_APIs
|CUPI for End Users Guide Contents
|API Overview
Index of All End Users CUPI Documentation
Cisco Unity Connection Provisioning Interface (CUPI) for End Users is a provisioning API for Cisco Unity Connection that has been designed to be stable and simple to use. It is based on leading industry standards for web-based API development, and provides access to many of the account settings of the end users.
By using CUPI, end users can do the following:
- Update transfer options (basic transfer rules), unified messaging account passwords (Connection 8.5 and later), external services account passwords (Connection 8.0), and user passwords and PINs
- Record greetings and voice names
- Create, read, update, and delete private lists and private list members, alternate names, and user-defined alternate extensions
- Read SMTP proxy addresses. basic user information (for example, alias, display name, and DTMF access ID), class of service information, and administrator-defined alternate extensions
Technical Details
Previous provisioning APIs required knowledge of the underlying database, and were vulnerable to changes in the database schema. CUPI provides a layer over the database to make the interface more stable.
CUPI is standards based. CUPI was developed by using the latest advances in web-based interfaces. It is a REST interface that standardizes operations such as add, delete, and modify. The XML comes with standard XML schema definitions that are annotated with information about what is in them.
Other product groups in VTG are developing REST-based interfaces, and as the interfaces converge this positions CUPI well to fit in with them. REST interfaces also work well with Web 2.0 applications.
As a web-based interface, CUPI is independent of operating system and programming language and does not require any client libraries to use.
Note: It is recommended to perform provisioning only on the Publisher server in Active-Active mode and on Subscriber (Acting Primary) in case of cluster failover. The password change and password setting modification for User PIN/Web application should be provisioned on Publisher server in Active-Active mode.
Getting Started
In order to begin developing with the Cisco Unity Connection CUPI API, you need to obtain the following:
- Cisco Media Convergence Server (MCS) for Cisco Unity Connection version 8.0 and later
- For detailed hardware requirements, see the Cisco Unity Connection 8.x Supported Platforms List
- Cisco Unity Connection Software Ordering
- Not for Resale Kits (Must be eligible to purchase)
- Communications System Release Kit
Discounts for some of the required hardware and software may be available for participants in the Cisco Technology Developer Program.
We recommend that all developers have an up-to-date Cisco Developer Services support agreement. This provides the developer with access to professional support and assistance for application development.
Other CUPI Resources
Additional information about CUPI is also available on the Cisco Developer Network (link to CDN). Note, however, that the documentation here on the DocWiki is the most up-to-date documentation available for CUPI.
To participate in the CUPI forum, see the CUPI forum on CDN.
On the CUPI page on CDN, you will also find links to the CUPI WADL and CUPI XML schema.

Robert Frost wrote "Directive."
David Yetze (Wall Street Journal), in what he calls "an anatomy of a classic," calls the poem deceptively simple.
We are led on a walk through the woods — past the site of a former town. At a brook, beside a "house that is no longer a house," the guide produces a broken goblet, and he encourages us "to drink and be whole again beyond confusion."
The poem, according to Yetze, begins with one of Frost's most striking lines: "Back out all this now too much for us."
What appears to be at the heart of the poem is the weariness we all have with the "considerations of the world."
Frost touches on his struggles with a confused present in another poem, "Carpe Diem." "The present," the poet states, "is too much for the senses/ Too crowding, too confusing/ Too present to imagine."
Saturday has always been a day to re-order my life. It is probably a holdover from my 32 years of teaching. For me, it provides much needed time to put back into place what has been "confused" during the week's activities.
A significant task is taking household waste to the transfer station on Stoney Mountain Road. I am always amazed at how much can be accumulated in a week's time.
A new entrance to the facility has eliminated, for the most part, the long wait lines that used to be a Saturday concern. There is a new approach to the sheds where, for a small fee, one can deposit bags of household waste and recyclables. Everything is much improved from the old ways of doing things.
I turn off Stoney Mountain Road and travel the short distance. As I approach the station house, I observe unfamiliar terrain. I notice for the first time what appears to be a tombstone on a grassy knoll to my right. I am surprised. I didn't know there was a cemetery here. I then approach the station house to pay the fee and gain admittance. I wait for the red light to change to green.
After unloading the bags of rubbish, I drive my vehicle out the exit. Suddenly I stop and turn back. I cross over into the entrance lane and seek a parking space. I get out and walk a few feet to a grassy bank, then labor up the incline to a fence that stands between me and the marker. I read the inscription.
Beyond the marker are blocks of unmarked pieces of granite, no identification. The county commissioners, in 1948, honored those who died at the former Henderson County Home — "since the creation of the county in 1838." The placement of the commemorative stone must have been part of the centennial celebration of Henderson County.
I conclude this grave site is the final resting place for the indigent, the pauper — the life dropped off and too often forgotten.
The arrangement of the unmarked stones suggests significance. I recall the many cemeteries and graveyards throughout the county and the unidentified lives marked by field stones. I begin to imagine lives lived. Who were these people? What life stories beg to be told?
"The histories we make are ourselves, here and now." I keep turning the thought over and over in my mind.
That this particular cemetery is close-by the destination for disposable trash and other rubbish seems prophetic. I do not know the history of the old County Home. I determine to find out.
What has replaced the County Home? Are there lives today that are being lost to us? How am I connected to those lives?
The image of "glass darkly" found in the Bible comes to mind. "To be known even as I am known" is puzzling. I do not understand. My thoughts lie beneath words.
I recall Frost's definition of a poem. "A poem," he writes, "begins in delight and ends in wisdom" — a clarification of life, not necessarily a great clarification of life, but in "a momentary stay against the confusion of the world."
Each day I travel Stoney Mountain Road en route to my home. I pass where the "Home" once served the county.
Histories — here and now
Robert Frost wrote "Directive."

The most wonderful thing about buying a new condo is that it will most likely afford fantastic views of the city or skyline. It puts things in a different perspective to see the world from new heights.
Even if you're in a townhome in-stead, you may have the sense that you are no longer responsible for caring for outdoor space. But the fact remains that you likely still have the outdoor space. Use it, don't ignore it. I often encounter people who use the space for storage, especially in winter. But would you want to look at a season-long mess in your living room? Don't let your terrace become a storage unit; it can be a fantastic space year-round.
Start the beautifying process at blossomsrosedale.com, the web-site of one of my favourite Canadian stores, Blossoms. It offers an array of year-round planters and out-door privacy walls and trellises that are perfect for enhancing your con-do balcony. Many balconies are covered and therefore offer more potential for year-long development. The purpose of such beautification is to increase interior sight lines and enhance the sense of voluminous visual space.
You should also use your lighting creatively. Try soft uplighting or twinkle lights, which, in their natural colour, are perfect year-round.
To best enjoy the cityscape, re-member to not clutter your balcony, rather, make it so special that you want to use it through all four sea-sons. Invest in things that extend the outdoor living season such as outdoor heaters. Speaking of hot devices, we all love the barbecue for a summer steak-out, but it does not belong in a view-blocking position off-season. There is nothing worse than seeing not-so-attractive bi-cycles or barbecues instead of your much sought-after view.
As for late spring and summer-time, this is the easiest time to accessorize outdoor condo spaces. Bring fresh flowers and real plants into the scene in April and May as they will continue to bring visual pleasure until at least the end of September.
Outdoor furniture, which may or may not stay outdoors year-round, is centre stage at this time. A beautiful way to create continuity between outdoor and indoor space is to have pillows made from mould-resistant fabrics and leave them in place regardless of the weather. The Hôtel Plaza Athénée in Paris matches the umbrellas and cushions of their outdoor furniture with their flowers. This kind of matching can be done to refine the look of your outdoor spaces.
And while you're deriving inspiration from places, check out another wonderful website find for condo owners, horchow.com, where you will find elegant synthetic planters and fantastic balcony accessories. There are many sophisticated de-signs to choose from.
For other condo balcony boosters, check out another personal favourite: restorationhardware.com. Here you will find beautiful planters of all shapes and sizes, along with additional preserved plant ideas to make your balcony absolutely gorgeous. Just remember to use your condo sense to expand the enjoyment of all your space.

Hysterosalpingography is a type of x-ray exam. It is used to examine the uterus (womb) and fallopian tubes. A contrast (dye) is injected into the uterus. It helps to create clearer images.
Reasons for Test
Hysterosalpingography is used to evaluate:
- Infertility
- Abnormal bleeding
- Abnormal pubertal development
- Traumatic injury
- The presence of foreign objects
Possible Complications
All x-rays expose you to a certain level of radiation. These levels are considered safe for most but are not recommended for pregnant women. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant.
Some people may also have an allergic reaction to contrast used to enhance the image. Let your doctor know about any allergies you may have.
What to Expect
Prior to Test
You will be asked about your medical history. If you have had pelvic inflammatory disease in the past, it is important that you share this information with your doctor.
In the days leading up to the test:
- Schedule the test within the first 10 days after your period starts. This timing will decrease the chance of disturbing an unknown pregnancy.
Your doctor may ask you to:
- Take pain medication or antibiotics
- Take a laxative or enema
- Have a light meal the night before. Do not eat or drink anything after midnight, unless told otherwise by your doctor.
- Plan to wear comfortable clothes.
- Arrange for a ride to and from the test.
Description of Test
You will lie on a special x-ray table. Your feet will be in foot rests or pulled up to your chest. A pelvic exam will be done to check the position of the uterus and check for tenderness or inflammation. A device called a speculum will be inserted to gently open the vagina. A catheter (tube) will be inserted through the cervix and into the uterus.
You will be repositioned after the tube is inserted. The contrast material will be slowly injected through tubing connected to the catheter into the uterus and fallopian tubes. The x-ray machine will create images that the doctor can see. X-ray photos will also be taken during the test. The table may be tilted or you may be asked to roll from side to side for better views or pictures. When x-rays of all the areas have been taken, the instruments will be removed.
After Test
You will be observed for about 30 minutes after the test. The staff will look for signs of an allergic reaction and bleeding. You will then be able to leave.
After the test, be sure to follow your doctor's instructions. You will not be able to use tampons or engage in sexual intercourse for 48 hours after the procedure.
How Long Will It Take?
About 15-45 minutes
Will It Hurt?
Most patients report some discomfort and cramping during this test. If there is a blockage, it may cause more intense pain. Your doctor may order pain or sedating medications. The medications are often taken one hour before the test.
A radiologist interprets the x-ray films and reports what was found to the doctor who ordered the exam. Your doctor will then make recommendations for treatment.
Call Your Doctor
After you leave the hospital, call your doctor if any of the following occurs:
- Increased pain
- Heavy vaginal bleeding
- Signs of infection, including fever and chills
- Abdominal pain
- Nausea or vomiting
- Itching, hives , or rash
- Difficulty breathing and/or swallowing

"Judge Matthias Crum, acting president of the Mexico, Santa Fe and Perry Traction Co. was in Columbia, Tuesday, going over the electric line situation with Columbia men who are interested in electric connections between this city and Columbia. Judge Crum explained to the Columbia men that the small line in operation from here to Molino is a financial success and that he desired an extension of the line, particularly one to Columbia."

"The city of Mexico has acquired from state Civil Defense authorities two vehicles to be used in CD work here. The 1957 model car will also be used as an auxiliary police car and by other departments as needed, and the six-wheel drive truck will be used to flush streets, as well as for Civil Defense fire use, City Manager Robert Semple said. The city paid $100 for the 1957 Chevrolet which had previously been used by Military Police and $200 for the six-by-six Army truck. A 2,000 gallon water tank will be mounted on the truck with a 500-gallon per minute pump for Civil Defense fire use in case of emergency. Meanwhile, it will be used in cleaning streets, the city manager said. Cost of the truck, new, was $6,617, Semple said. Original cost of the car was $1,257."
