IBM® Informix® Dynamic Server 10 and 11.5 upgrade and migration to IBM System x hardware
-- Provided improved performance, superior disk management and enhanced Internet options with estimated savings of US$120,000 over three years -- Automated processes to reduce costly system downtime -- Reduced database man hours by 75% and outage recovery time by 90% -- Saved US$60,000 in facilities costs -- Increased storage capacity by 50% without additional infrastructure or licensing costs
Case Study
NetworkIP remains true to its promise: "Your Connections. Our Commitment". Managing billions of telecommunications and Application Programming Interface (API) connections, the company provides a leading combination of usage-based pricing, a patented call quality solution (iQT), a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform, innovative technologies, as well as business management and reporting tools. Prepaid long distance, conferencing, Communication Enabled Business Process (CEBP) solutions via its subsidiary Jaduka, and customer call center services help customers create new revenue opportunities, while delivering value to end-users.
With no capital or back-office investment, customers can run entire business operations on NetworkIP's Carrier-Grade SaaS Platform. NetworkIP's Integrated Connections Solutions (ICS8) application suite integrates with telecommunications hardware and switches, which communicate with the company's Customer Management Interface and API, allowing customers to manage and configure their products. IBM® Informix® Dynamic Server (IDS) supports ICS8 and all call processing activities, estimated at more than 2 million voice calls per day. In addition to ICS8, NetworkIP's subsidiary, Jaduka, delivers real-time communication services through the cloud enabling companies to easily blend voice into critical workflow activities—and effectively "speak" with employees, partners and customers.
Over the years, increasing customer demand necessitated some phased database and hardware upgrades to improve service levels, reduce maintenance costs and support disaster recovery initiatives. NetworkIP continues to rely on IBM solutions to provide the scalability needed to achieve its business goals.
IT growing pains initiate upgrade decisions
NetworkIP realized the need to upgrade its database architecture to improve service levels and process times for generating critical reports. In addition, the backup, recovery and system redundancy of critical database engines required optimization. A proactive approach required implementing a robust disaster recovery plan.
The process began by evaluating business and technical requirements against a vendor review with a focus on controlling costs, while implementing all the technical aspects of the solution. After considering several offerings, including Oracle and MySQL, NetworkIP decided to remain with IBM and upgrade its IBM IDS database environment.
The company turned to IBM Business Partner, One Point Solutions, and together they developed a plan to address immediate needs, reduce the total cost of ownership, improve the return on investment and provide a clear path for future technology and business expansion. The IDS upgrade leveraged NetworkIP's existing investment and provided a familiar environment with no need to re-architect software applications.
Because NetworkIP requires continuous 24/7 availability, any changes to hardware or software could not impact service delivery to its customers. IBM IDS replication technology enabled upgrading 18 servers, with seamless integration and without business disruption.
Seamless IDS database upgrade delivers ROI
Upgrading to IDS 10 in 2007 allowed NetworkIP to take advantage of improved performance, superior disk management features and enhanced Internet options, while saving an estimated US$120,000 over three years, improving ROI significantly. Implementing the IDS High Availability Data Replication (HDR) solution enabled automating lengthy manual processes and reduced costly system downtime.
In addition, server consolidation eliminated the inefficiencies, resulting in US$60,000 of savings in facilities costs and reduced total cost of ownership. Automating some daily time-consuming tasks resulted in a 75 percent reduction in database man-hours. Recovery from outages has been reduced by more than 90 percent, and critical reports are now generated three times faster. NetworkIP has also more than doubled its storage capacity, allowing the business to continue to grow without any additional infrastructure or licensing costs.
The system now runs IDS HDR across six pairs of servers providing a "hot standby" in the event of a system failure. NetworkIP now has a secure system incorporating full disaster recovery and failover capabilities.
"With IDS's zero maintenance HDR solution I can rest easy at night knowing that each critical database engine has a hot standby that can be quickly brought into service in the event of a hardware or operating system failure," says Andrew Ford, Senior DBA, NetworkIP Integration.
The IDS upgrade provided NetworkIP with a robust platform that delivers increased efficiency and productivity, while an improved disaster recovery program including back up, recovery and failover (through HDR) helps NetworkIP ensure security and performance, while delivering greater ROI.
Moving forward with IBM System x and IDS 11.5
When the timing was right, NetworkIP decided to move forward with improving its critical Carrier Grade SaaS Platform to meet growing business requirements. "It was time to replace our existing hardware and upgrade to accommodate that growth," says Ford. "We wanted to replace all the database servers and storage associated with the critical database engines that support our daily operations."
The entire project took about 18 months which included planning the upgrade, estimating the budget, talking to vendors, deciding on the technology to purchase, and then six months to implement. The NetworkIP team met with many vendors, including HP, 3PAR, Dell, EMC and IBM, to evaluate each solution and several different configurations.
"IBM offered the only solution that would ultimately let us achieve the required performance and redundancy within our hardware budget," says Ford. "We eventually selected IBM for the server, storage and SAN solutions, and we decided to upgrade to IBM Informix 11.5. We also use IBM Tivoli® Storage Manager."
Working with IBM and Partner One, an IBM Business Partner for hardware, NetworkIP was able to perform hands-on testing and prototype the proposed System x® environment at an IBM Virtual Innovation Center.
Streamlining the migration process proves successful
The heart of the migration used Informix Enterprise Replication (ER) technology to set up the new hardware, and then progressively upgraded each server over a period of weeks, with no downtime. Using ER for the initial data load, easily pushed data from the old to the new hardware platform and migrated any additional updates. Essentially, NetworkIP had two real-time, in-sync copies of the data on the old and new platforms.
Ford explains, "The migration process was simply a matter of redirecting the applications to the new servers. There was almost zero downtime while migrating to the new IBM System x platform. This was quite incredible, considering that we upgraded everything to support applications that must be available 24/7 and can never go down. We always had total redundancy for each server because we were running the Informix HDR feature. In addition, we re-engineered the system architecture to ensure that each server has multiple paths to the data. Everything is fully redundant and 'hot swappable.' Since the upgrade, outages are almost a non-event, and our customers are pleased with the consistent system reliability and availability."
NetworkIP is also using Informix ER to replicate the call processing data from its main data center in Longview, Texas to a new switch site in Atlanta, Georgia. "Enterprise Replication allows us to localize core call processing data to improve response time," says Ford. "We can connect our applications directly to the database in the Atlanta data center instead of accessing data over a long-distance network."
System x and Informix upgrades deliver business value
"As a result of implementing the new System x servers and the upgrade to Informix 11.5, we have noticed many improvements," says Ford. "For example, our top transactions, billing for telecommunications services and account update transactions, run seven times faster. We can now handle seven times more load with the new servers than we could with the old servers. Processing new accounts runs about five times faster, and our overall reporting runs about six times faster, while batch updates on accounts run about ten times faster."
He adds, "We have many batch applications that run at night. In particular, billing has to happen as quickly as possible. With the old servers, that process was started at midnight and would still be running at 8 or 9 o'clock in the morning, which would cause problems. We are always open for business, so the faster we can run batch processes the better. IBM System x servers help us achieve our goals."
"Our business users are also happy with the overall increase in processing speed and system performance," continues Ford. "What do the users have to say? 'I just updated 476,000 account retrievals in 12 seconds.' 'I just updated over 360,000 accounts in 60 seconds.' 'The System x servers really fly.' 'I was able to perform a full table scan in 40 seconds, down from 5 minutes to process a day's worth of data.'"
"As for improvements specific to IDS 11.5, the new non-blocking checkpoints feature has improved processing efficiency," Ford notes. "Now, even if the check point is 60 seconds, processing continues. We reduced administrative man hours because processing continues, even during long checkpoints. This is a real benefit of IDS 11 that we saw after the migration."
According to Brian Kirk, Vice President, Business Development, NetworkIP, "Migrating to IBM IDS 11.5 was an easy choice for all of us at NetworkIP. We experienced improved performance and reliability increases across the board; just when you think it can't get any better IBM proves to us why they lead the industry. Our partnership with IBM over the years has continued to attract new business and puts us further and further ahead of our competition."

Let your leaders know
nThe mission of High Road at first glance is absurdly overreaching. Anderson wants to end genocide, international sex slavery and global warming. And, as if that weren't enough, he tacked stopping torture and "restoring the rule of law" to the High Road mission statement as his work lobbying the House Judiciary Committee to hold the Bush administration accountable began taking up much of his time.
But, in concept, the High Road is simple. Anderson says if he learned anything in politics, it was that politicians don't do anything difficult unless pushed. The big problems, like global warming, are ignored, he says, because elected officials don't hear about them from voters. High Road exists to provide the shock troops, "to make it clear there will be short-term political costs for those who continue to ignore these kinds of problems."n
High Road's pitch is, "You never again have to say you don't know what you can do." It promises that changing big policies really isn't that hard. "Imagine if you had a group of just five people. Every time a congressperson or senator comes home and they hold a meeting, there is a group there pushing on the same issues," Anderson says.n
The idea appealed to Utah Valley University senior Kindra Amott, who started Utah County's High Road chapter in December after Anderson presented a video on genocide and human trafficking to her "peace and justice" club.n
"I think so many people feel so powerless," says Amott. "To know there is something as simple as writing to a congressman or attending a meeting—to have an outlet, finally, where it's, 'Hey, let's do something'—is cool."n
The sex slavery issue was cemented onto Anderson's personal agenda during a 2002 trip to New Delhi for the U.N. Conference on Climate Change. Anderson asked his guide to take him to the most notorious brothel street, then went in and interviewed the women and girls kept as slaves inside. Anderson says U.S. policy has talked a good game against sex slavery, yet simultaneously has granted waivers to oil rich countries. Climate change may seem an odd fit for High Road's human-rights banner. But Anderson argues stopping global warming is about preventing the human-rights tragedies of mass migration and loss of traditional cultures.n
Michael Posner, president of New York City-based Human Rights First (formerly the Lawyers Committee for Human Rights), says High Road is the first attempt at starting a grass-roots human-rights membership organization since Amnesty International. Human-rights lobbying organizations like his have lagged well behind the environmental movement in drumming up grass-roots support, he says, and "we've learned the hard way that policymakers and opinion leaders tend to set agendas by the broader public debate."n
Anderson says it was a book that convinced him to forgo a third term as mayor in favor of becoming a full-time activist. In A Problem From Hell, about genocide in places like Bosnia and Rwanda, author Samantha Power (now a senior advisor to Obama) relates Clinton administration officials telling human-rights advocates that the U.S. government wouldn't intervene unless advocates "made more noise."n
"Since the phones in congressional offices weren't ringing, President Clinton and Congress sat on their hands during two genocides," says Anderson. "We keep expecting elected officials will do the right thing, and the fact is they never do unless they're pushed."n
The Evolution of Rocky
n In 2007, Anderson's second term as mayor was winding down and he remained popular enough to easily win a third city election. But even some of Anderson's supporters began griping he was spending more time solving the world's problems than fixing Salt Lake City potholes. With his crisscrossing the country to speak on global warming, some wondered if Anderson was running for czar of greenhouse gas in a coming Democratic administration.
Utah filmmaker Rhea Gavry likens Anderson to Al Gore, as politicians who determined they could do more from the outside. She began rolling film of Anderson in 2007, thinking she was making a movie about the last year of a controversial mayor but says she kept filming because she saw her subject evolving into a full-time activist, "who decided politics wasn't going to get it done." Political and public-relations consultant Patrick Thronson, who served as Anderson's last mayoral press aide, is also convinced the job Anderson was running for is the job he now has.n
"The reason he decided to become mayor was to address the issues he wasn't able to address as a private citizen," Thronson says. But eventually, even that platform wasn't enough. "He came to see citizen involvement and activism as the missing link for crucial change."n
Anderson himself says being a liberal mayor in the country's then-most Republican state gave him a great stage. "The only problem was there'd be a rally, then a year would go by before somebody would hold another rally. These kinds of things need to be sustained. That's how you make a difference."n
Besides, if Anderson were ever seriously interested in politics beyond the mayor's job, he would have toned down his rhetoric long ago. Even the most outrageous politician has to compromise, after all. Anderson still spares no one.n
Bush remains a favorite target, but Anderson also beats on Democrats. "When they were in the minority, they were holding mock hearings on impeachment; then they get in the majority, and all of a sudden, impeachment's off the table and they don't do anything," he says. For Anderson, the U.S. Congress is a spineless jellyfish that "completely abdicated its constitutional responsibility" to check the Bush administration's power-grabs. The news media, a favorite target when he was mayor, are "betraying their role," says Anderson, whose plans for High Road include pressuring newspapers as well as politicians. Not even President Barack Obama gets a pass. Meaty issues for a bulldogn
If he wasn't looking beyond Salt Lake City in his last term as mayor, Anderson was already acting on the national stage. And many of his famous friends from those days now help make up impressive boards of directors and advisers for High Road that includes Yoko Ono, Harry Belafonte, Elie Wiesel and Anderson's longtime hero, Daniel Ellsberg, who gained fame by leaking the Pentagon Papers to The New York Times and exposing the official lies of the Vietnam War.n
Michael Zimmerman, a former Utah Supreme Court justice and one of many local heavy-hitters Anderson recruited, says a seat on an Anderson-led advocacy organization was hard to pass up. "One way to look at supporting [High Road] is you're hiring a guy who is a real bulldog to advocate and organize for issues you think are important but you don't really know how to get a handle on," he says. "It's a perfect fit for Rocky." Unlike some issues that come through a city mayor's office, "the topics he has picked, like genocide and sexual slavery, are issues you can't disagree with. They are incontrovertible evils. You don't have to temper with them."n
Anderson may have used famous friends to best effect with the U.S. House Judiciary Committee. In the last days of his term as Salt Lake City mayor, Anderson wrote a letter to Judiciary Committee Chairman Conyers calling for an investigation of the Bush administration and shopped it around for signatures. The letter, beginning, "We are writing out of deep concern for our nation," wasn't nice, charging Congress with complicity through inaction in alleged Bush administration crimes. Anderson's letter garnered signatures of George McGovern, Daniel Ellsberg, Noam Chomsky, Harry Belafonte—and the attention of Conyers.n
Anderson was in Washington, D.C., for a climate-change conference when Conyers rang his cell phone asking for a meeting. Anderson brought along Ellsberg and several D.C.-area civil-rights leaders. At the meeting, they found the entire Judiciary Committee waiting for them as well as members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, all with copies of the Anderson letter. "It was amazing," Anderson recalls. (The letter at RestoreTheRuleOfLaw.com now has several thousand signatures.)n
After several months passed, Anderson telephoned committee staff to ask why impeachment proceedings weren't moving along. "They said, 'What is it you want us to do?'" he recalls. Anderson—one of many progressives by then pressing for action—responded with nine, single-spaced pages of questions Congress hadn't asked about the Bush administration's activities. He pointed out, for example, that while administration officials had by then admitted tapping phone calls of U.S. residents, Congress had never asked for an accounting of the extent of the program. (A Bush administration whistleblower recently alleged the program included intercepting all domestic telephone and Internet traffic, as well as many conversations of U.S. journalists.)n
Such ignorance continues to this day, Anderson says. "We know the CIA has kidnapped innocent people and sent them off to torture chambers, but we don't have any idea: Has it been 10? 100? 1,000? Isn't that amazing?"n
That second Anderson letter led to a second meeting with the Judiciary Committee. Eventually Anderson and friends were asked to testify before a July 2008 hearing into abuses of presidential power.n

October 23, 2013—Scientists are placing computer chip backpacks on dragonflies to record the insects' brain activity as they fly and capture prey. Researchers hope the data they collect will reveal more about how the brain controls body movement.
So this room we're in is this sort of indoor flight arena we have built to study how dragonflies forage and catch prey. Basically we've tried to do is craft and environment that is sufficiently complex that dragonflies will actually be happy living in here. They'll think it's the real world. They'll forage and catch things the way they do outside but simple enough that we actually measure what they are doing with very high reproducibility without being subjected to this variability of temperature and lighting and air and climate outside.
These obviously are beautiful insects. And if you watch them for a few minutes, it's sort of hypnotic to see the incredible agility with which they behave. But like fruit flies and other insects, their brain has many fewer neurons than a mammal so there's fewer things to measure. On the other hand, they are very large for an insect and so it is possible to load them up with sensors and actually measure them while they are behaving. And that is very difficult to do with a small insect.
So why are trying record from neurons from these dragonflies while they are flying? We like to look at the individual nerve cells. These are the nerve cells, or neurons as we call them, and think about how they steer the animals. So a simple example would be playing tennis where your simultaneously doing two things: you're looking at something moving through the world, say a ball for example, and you're predicting where it's going and you're trying to steer your body to intercept the ball at some future location.
You have these really small components for this backpack, this tiny little device, and you have to hold these things. You have to manipulate these little tiny circuit boards and antennae and circuitry and what have you. And you're actually pushing the limits of engineering to a degree and actually the materials themselves.
Try to think of a backpacking manufacturer that's making backpacks for mountaineer climbers. A climber is going up hill, he's climbing Mount Everest and he or she does not want to feel the weight of this backpack. And the ergonomics have to be just right. It's the same thing with these animals. With these backpacks systems, we're actually splitting it down to the milligrams. They have to behave in a way that you can actually get really scientific results. If the payload is too heavy or it's awkward for the animal, you obviously aren't going to get the results, recordings or data that you are looking for.
What are the applications of this? I mean, if you want to repair an injured brain, the best way to do that is to understand how it actually works, right? And ultimately I think research like this that really explains what these circuits do is going to be the future on how you want to use that technology: how would you control the neurons to actually do it. Let them do something in a goal-directed manner and move their own legs. And so the best way thing about these types of projects is just fundamental research into what the brain is doing to solve complex behavioral problems.

The Boston area is seeing more than just the flu this time of year. The "winter vomiting bug," or norovirus, is making its rounds as well.
"The norovirus, which many people call the stomach flu, is widespread this year," said Katinka Podmaniczky, assistant director of communications for the Boston Public Health Commission. "We encourage everyone to take simple precautions to protect themselves and others, like washing hands frequently and staying home if you feel sick."
In Boston, right now about 2.5 percent of all emergency room visits are related to accute gastrointenstinal problems, which may or may not be caused by a norovirus, according to a Health Commission report. This time last year, that number was just over 3 percent. The commission did not have data for the total number of people reporting GI issues outside the ER.
Seasonal influenza—in particular, influenza A—remains the largest health problem in Boston this season, with more than 1,220 cases reported since Oct. 1, according to the Health Commission's latest report, dated Jan. 19. However, there has been a slight decrease in cases from earlier this month, when Mayor Thomas Menino declared a public health emergency.
In all, there have been 12 flu-related deaths in the city of Boston, including 11 people over age 65 and one child under six years old. Twenty-five percent of the cases have been hospitalized, with about 76 percent of those cases involving adults age 45 and over who have underlying medical conditions, according to the BPHC.
What is norovirus?
While the flu often causes respiratory problems, noroviruses specifically affect the body's gastrointestinal system, causing diarrhea, vomiting and stomach pain. Sometimes referred to as "viral gastroenteritis," "stomach flu" and "food poisoning," the virus is easily spread and thus pretty common, according to the BPHC. But it is not actually related to influenza.
"Symptoms usually begin one to two days after exposure to the virus but can occur as early as 12 hours after exposure," a BPHC fact sheet states. "Common symptoms include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting and stomach pain. Sometimes people may develop low-grade fever, chills, headache, muscle aches and tiredness. The illness may come on suddenly, and it is possible to have norovirus infection many times. Sometimes people with norovirus have no symptoms at all, but can still pass the infection on to others."
The Boston Public Health Commission recommends that people experiencing norovirus symptoms drink plenty of fluids to avoid dehydration and be sure to wash their hands often and thoroughly to avoid spreading the virus to others. Individuals should contact their healthcare providers if they do not recover quickly—within one to three days—or if they are at risk for dehydration or have any other concerns.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that the norovirus causes about 70,000 hospitalizations and 800 deaths each year, mostly in young children and the elderly.
Tips for preventing illness
Unlike with the flu, Boston residents cannot get a vaccine against norovirus. The best method of prevention is to take extra care in washing your hands, clothing and food.
The CDC offers these tips to preventing the spread of the virus:
- Wash your hands often and carefully, with soap and water.
- Carefully wash fruits and vegetables before preparing and eating them.
- Cook oysters and other shellfish thoroughly (at 140 degrees or higher).
- Disinfect contaminated surfaces with a bleach-based cleanser and wash soiled clothes and linens, then tumble dry.
- When you're sick, don't prepare food or care for others, and wait two to three days after you recover to return to these activities.

Well, that's certainly one opinion.
The Drake II and EcoDrake are both 1.28gpf. Drake II [CST454CEFG] comes standard with the Double Cyclone flush, Sanagloss Finish, and Universal Height.
On the EcoDrake, you have a choice of either Sanagloss [CST744EG] OR Universal Height [CST744EF] OR ADA Height [CST744EL]; they don't make a higher model in Sanagloss.
Similar differences between the EcoUltramax and the Ultramax II, but they do make an ELG version of the EcoUltramax that's ADA Height and with Sanagloss [MS854114ELG]. However, because the II versions come with a bunch of stuff as standard equipment, that toilet is likely to cost you more than the Ultramax II.
At the end of the day, it depends upon whether you want the Double-Cyclone or not. The trap diameter is 2-1/8 on both systems, and, if anything, the Double Cyclone toilets have a trapway that benefitted from additional thinking by Toto (e.g. it's newer).
I think they should all work fine, and you should get the one that you think looks best and meets your price point. We have a Carlyle II (double-cyclone) and two Drakes. They're different, but they all work great. A little better bowl rinse with the Double Cyclone, and the Sanagloss is nice.

Delegates from Twelve Countries Meet to Discuss Global School Feeding Efforts
CHICAGO (July 12, 2007) – Twenty-four international delegates representing 12 nations will convene in Chicago, Illinois from July 12 to 16, 2007, for the 9th Global Child Nutrition Forum: School Feeding Development Conference. For the first time since its inception in 1997, the Global Child Nutrition Foundation (GCNF) is collaborating with the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) on this project. As the first major initiative of the new foundation, expectations are high that this meeting will help fulfill GCNF's vision to help establish a world in which hunger is not a barrier to children learning.
The purpose of the Forum is to assist leaders in developing countries start or expand school feeding programs. The Forum is the new foundation's flagship program. During the past nine years, 155 international delegates from 53 countries have participated in the Forum and returned to their countries with information, skills and plans to advance school feeding.
Back in December of 2006, governments in several countries requested assistance from the WFP for implementing their policies to expand school feeding at a national level. GCNF was chosen to be a resource to WFP for assisting Honduras, Ethiopia, Pakistan, Kenya and Mali with policy implementation, program development and capacity building. Three delegates selected by WFP from each of the five target countries will participate in this five-day School Feeding Development Conference. Global faculty members from Chile, Italy, Jamaica, Canada, Brazil, Ghana and South Africa will also attend.
Country representatives will observe school feeding programs in Chicago Public Schools, share information, identify school feeding needs and barriers and identify resources for problem resolution. Sessions will focus on sharing information from the representative countries, seeking remedies to common problems, and providing current information on global challenges, such as food safety, program sustainability, foodservice management, program operations, nutrition and nutrition education. Additionally, delegates will develop strategies and tactics for implementing policy and building capacity for expanding school feeding in their countries.
The Global Child Nutrition Foundation, established in 2007, is a non-profit corporation whose mission is to expand opportunities for the world's children to receive adequate nutrition for learning and achieving their potential.
SNA is a national, non-profit professional organization representing more than 55,000 members who provide high-quality, low-cost meals to students across the country. Founded in 1946, SNA is the only association devoted exclusively to protecting and enhancing children's health and well being through school meals and sound nutrition education.

Update from the GM
March 8, 2013 8:23am homenewsfuturegm
As we head into the tail end of the winter, it should be no secret that we are enjoying the best conditions of the season right now. It is hard to believe that most of the winter is already behind us, which is even more reason to make a trip to Burke this month and enjoy the great snow conditions and weather. It has been a very busy season so far with a lot of ups and downs, coupled with news and excitement about the future of Burke Mountain. I will save my year in review post until after we close in mid April, but would like to take the opportunity now to introduce two new faces you have probably read about in local press and Burke media, seen around the mountain, and hopefully have had a chance to meet.

January Update
January 23, 2013 8:00am gmnewshome
2013 is off to an interesting start. The first week was arguably some of the best skiing we have had at Burke in over two years followed by an obligatory "January thaw" with spring-like snow conditions and a few nostalgic rides on the Willoughby chair-lift. Some wildly windy weather during the third weekend has brought us to where we are now, into a deep freeze. With this midweek cold spell, we will again put the new snowmaking system to work and look to build snow pack on the upper mountain and trails that do not typically see snowmaking, such as the Gap. Our lift maintenance team works hard to keep all our lifts running so that our customers can enjoy as much time on the mountain as possible. We were thankful for this earlier in the month when the power line serving the Mid Burke Express went down. The Willoughby was brought on line quickly so that everyone could still enjoy top to bottom skiing, albeit a slower ride to the top. Our Willoughby chair feels like it is hardly moving compared to the new detachable, but it is nice to have in situations like this.

GM Update 1.4.13
January 4, 2013 8:00am gmnewshome
I hope everyone had a nice holiday and a great New Year! Early December started a little slow, but we were able to finish the month extremely strong. Thanks to our new, improved snowmaking system (and snowmakers), as well as a couple of perfectly timed snow storms, we had a great holiday week. We now have 50 of our 56 trails open with arguably the best ski conditions we have had in over two years. We will continue to make snow as temperatures allow-resurfacing some icy spots- including the first drop on Upper Dipper as well as other challenging areas. We have already made snow on a number of trails that have seen limited or no snowmaking in the past, including Upper Fox's Folly and Ledges, and we will continue on to The Gap and a few other steep favorites over the next week or so.

GM Update 12.8.12
December 8, 2012 9:00am gmnewshome
We are looking forward to a great weekend, coming off one the strongest opening weekends Burke has had. For those of you not lucky enough to make it up last weekend the conditions were great. In the month of November alone, we have pumped just under half the amount of water for snowmaking that we pump in a typical SEASON. The amount of snow made with our new system is unprecedented and we have heard the approval from our customers. In talking with our guest and season pass holders, I have been told that they feel this is by far the best early season conditions they have ever seen. We need to thank our new ownership group and Burke Mountain Academy for the new snowmaking system along with our snowmaking crew who worked a week straight, 24 hours a day, the last week of November! Great Job!

We have a lot to be thankful for this year at Burke, but unfortunately a November 23rd opening was just not in the cards. As mentioned in the latest BurkeBlast, a few early snowmaking days were missed due to final finishing touches that were required on our new compressor. Combined with an unusually prolonged temperature inversion pattern this past week has prevented us from making enough snow to get open for this weekend. (For those of you that purchased the Judge Pass, you are in luck this weekend as Jay plans to open on Friday, November 23). While this is an unfortunate setback we should be thankful that the mid range weather forecast is now showing the coldest sustained temperatures of the season arriving by mid day Saturday. We will take advantage of this and run the system to its full extent so that we can open as many trails as possible by the first of December. We will continue making snow on the upper mountain and extend coverage throughout December. Our goal is to have the lower mountain open for the weekend of December 8th. (The inversions have been so difficult the last few days, we only made snow on the lower mountain as temps from Mid Burke to the summit were just not there.)

Snowmaking Plans & Opening Weekend
October 30, 2012 12:41pm homenewsgmopeningfuture
Hurricane Sandy has come and gone and we were fortunate to get thru this weather event with no significant damages. We hope all of our customers to the south were equally as lucky. It's been a very busy October and we are looking forward to the start of ski season- but before we talk about the winter plans ahead- I want to take a quick look back on a great month of October.

It's the middle of September and the incredible summer weather continues. We have transitioned from one of the worst winters in several decades to one of the best summers in the same time period, so its only fitting that we are in store for a terrific winter. Although we still see a few seventy and eighty degree days, the nights have started to get colder with a few mornings in the mid 30's. With those temperatures, it won't be long before we are able to test out our new snowmaking system! We have received our first shipment of 90 snowguns with an additional 50 still on the way. We are all very excited to push for a November 23rd opening date, and hope the weather continues to cooperate so that we can make that a reality. We want to remind all of our customers interested in a season pass (which is the most cost effective way to ski and ride at Burke, and Jay with The Judge Pass) to make sure you put your order in before the October 15th pass deadline, after which our prices will increase.

Summer Updates
July 3, 2012 2:50pm gmnewshome
It's been a very exciting couple of months here at Burke! As the new ownership group settles in, the Burke Bike Park is open and off to a great start, and we held arguably one of the best mountain bike festivals in New England! All the while, there are a number of projects in the works that will bring some great improvements to the 2012.13 winter season. The change in ownership at Burke has gone extremely smooth and we are all very excited with what our future holds. Our new partners at Jay Peak have been great to work with and all of our customers will benefit from this new synergy.

Memorial Day weekend is behind us and the official start to summer is not far off, and with the change of seasons comes more exciting changes at Burke. Last year at this time we were getting ready to talk about the new Mid Burke lift and the installation of the wind turbine. One would think it would be difficult to top those announcements, but the news last week may just have done that. For those who have not heard, Burke was purchased by a private ownership group last week. The new owners, headed by businessman Ariel Quiros, own a number of other entities (both ski and non ski related) including Jay Peak Resort. Jay Peak has seen unprecedented capital investment in the resort over the past several years led by their President and co-owner Bill Stenger. We are delighted to have such a vibrant ownership team that is locally based and has such extensive experience in the ski resort industry.
So what do these changes mean for Burke? First, there are still many details to work out, this transaction happened very quickly, both the existing Burke team and new owners need to get up to speed. There will likely be no immediate changes in the next few months, summer festivals, lift served mountain biking, and the Tamarack grill will continue to operate as planned. Burke will continue to have its own brand and identity, and likewise for Jay Peak. Improvements for the upcoming winter, including significant upgrades to the snowmaking system and additional marketing are now being discussed. Beyond this season, further improvements and attractions, including additional bed base are seen as important to the success of Burke. We will also be discussing reciprocal pass and ticket deals that will allow the customers of both resorts to take advantage of this new partnership.

Histrelin is a man-made version of a hormone that is similar to the one normally released from the hypothalamus gland in the brain. It works in the brain to reduce the blood levels of sex hormones, such as testosterone and estrogen. The histrelin implant is placed under the skin. The implant releases small amounts of histrelin in the body every day for 12 months.
Histrelin (Vantas®) is used to treat advanced prostate cancer in adults. It will reduce the level of testosterone, a male hormone, in the blood. Testosterone makes most prostate cancers grow. Histrelin is not a cure for prostate cancer, but it may help relieve the symptoms.
Histrelin (Supprelin® LA) is used to treat central precocious puberty (CPP) in children. CPP is a condition where puberty begins at an unusually early age. This usually means puberty occurs before 8 years of age in girls and before 9 years of age in boys. Histrelin works by reducing the amount of sex hormones (e.g., estrogen and testosterone) in the blood.

Despite modest numbers, Doty makes Huskies better
|Connecticut's Caroline Doty drives for the basket during the first half of an NCAA college basketball game against Providence in Hartford, Conn., Tuesday, Jan. 10, 2012. (AP Photo/Bob Child)
STORRS — While some people may continue to be baffled by why Caroline Doty is starting and averaging 17.8 minutes per game for the UConn women's basketball team, the logic is simple for coach Geno Auriemma.
He believes the Huskies are a better team when Doty — averaging only 4.0 points and 2.5 assists — brings all of her five years of experience, high basketball IQ and competitiveness onto the court. That doesn't mean he doesn't continue to challenge her to get better and contribute more to the team's success.

It is becoming more and more popular to release unaged whiskies, known as new make in Scotland. These cannot be called whiskies, for they have not undergone the minimum of three years ageing in oak casks. Many of these are really great spirits in their own right, though totally different from the finished product, for it is deemed that around 60% of the character of a whisky comes from the cask is was aged in. It is also interesting to try a malt spirit and learn about the effects of maturation, you can often find the character of a distillery, somewhere in the spirit. Islay is home to a number of great distilleries with a wide spectrum of styles. Peat is a characteristic most associated with the Island. Bruichladdich famously released X4. This is a quadruple pot-distilled spirit from the Bruichladdich distillery!

Be happy to VAWellDriller!
Hopefully, I will have good news .................... but whatever the outcome, it will cost me dearly. I sure hope things work out!
Sounds like a good idea....I'd love to hear how it turns out...ie...total depth, screened intervals, amount of gravel pack, static and pumping water levels... (if that's not too much to ask)! Good luck.
Be happy to VAWellDriller!
Hopefully, I will have good news .................... but whatever the outcome, it will cost me dearly. I sure hope things work out!
VAWellDriller had asked that I let everyone know how things turned out with the new well.
1- Our 35 year old 4" well was 138 feet deep with the pump ending up at 137 feet just a few weeks back (the pump hung at 132 feet for years). The well was beginning to run dry using it with our irrigation system - only 5.5 GPM with sand
The new 4" well is 151 feet deep with pump set at 146 feet - getting 11 GPM with no sand or problems ....... they drilled until they hit rock.
2- Old well had static water level of 117 feet. New well has the same.
3- Old well had 40 feet of strainer and gravel packed. New well has the same. The used approximately two full 55 gallon drums of gravel for the new well.
4- While running, water level on old well would drop to about 136 feet as long as I did NOT pump more thann 5.5 GPM. Of course, this was not always the case. In years past, the well would supply all the water we could use.
While running, water level on new well drops to about 129 feet while pumping 10 GPM. As info: I did install a 10 GPM rated Dole Valve on the new well system.
5- Obviously, the two wells are in the same aquifer. I am assuming that since the new well goes all the way to rock, the extra depth is what has helped. It's a shame the one drilled 35 years ago didn't go down the extra 13 feet. As info: the two wells are only 35 feet apart.
6- While boring the well, there was no sign of water until they reached a depth of approximately 105 feet.
Thanks to all for your help
My mud well has only a 5 foot layer of sand/gravel above the bedrock. It has no screened casing, just an open bottom with some gravel tossed in.
Just wondering if you ever saw that I responded to your request?
So far so good ....... the new water well is doing its job. I do think the extra depth is what was really needed. We have been in a drough for the past several years. But, I can't say that for this year. Since June, right here at our house, we have had 20.1 inches of rain. And, I'm not fussing!
Thanks to all!
I saw....glad that it all worked out well for you.....and thanks for filling us in on the details. If you dont mind my asking, how much did you pay, and what was included?
No problem:
1- The total cost of the well was $3,050.00 - This cost included the permit, drilling (151 feet), gravel packing, development, grouting, casing & 40 feet of strainer.
2- Since I had just recently purchased a new 1 HP F&W pump, I did not need one.
3- They did install my pump and verified all was doing as expected. I furnished the required wire.

Don't bet on it. Well drillers are notorious for Drilling a new hole. First they refuse to go down the old hole, saying they don't want to break a bit, Then when you have a new 150 feet they want to go further saying it would be better. The end results are usually in the tune of many several grand. Our well is 120 feet deep, we do not use a submersible but a jet pump, subs are fine for deep wells and I could never figure out why someone would put one on a shallow well. Sand settles in the bottom of the wells naturally and ours has had it coming out for the last 20 years that I am aware of. It will not kill you, it might settle in the bottom of your hot water heater, clog your sink faucet screen but you are not running out of water because it has sand in it. They certainly CAN drill through rock. If you want to spend money on your well, replace the sub with a jet and blow it out for 300$.
Fiber flinger.
LMAO @ fiber finger.....
There are several reasons for new wells
1 you don't know what is the old one, like small small sledge hammer heads, pipe wrenches, broken bits, lost drill tools.....
2 there may not be enough casing in the old one
3 setting up and running in the tools only to find the hole is under size or crooked
4 giving the customer the bill for any of the above and then telling him he needs a new well anyway
Yeah I can't understand why someone wouldn't want to have a noisy, inefficient jet pump either... those new fangled submersibles are such a pain in the butt to prime

Good Quality... But not what I expected
I was expecting brushed aluminum and these are pretty shiny and not really what I was expecting. As I use my notebook everyday and for everything, it gets used. I think brushed aluminum would look a lot better. I am fearful that it will get scratched and look bad, this is why I moved away from the plastic discs. If you looking for shiny and not brushed, you will be happy with these.

If only they came in more colors...
As other reviewers have noted, pages do seem to slide across these dics more smoothly than they do on plastic discs. Notebooks somehow also seem more substantial when these dics are used. I will admit, however, that function was not what drew me to these dicsc - it was the colors! I have them in silver, teal, emerald, lavender, bluish-purple and gold. I'm heartbroken that Levenger's appears to be discontinuing this products in colors. Even though I think they are over-priced, color is my weakness. A utilitarian object like a notebook can be a thing of pleasure when it includes a simple splash of color and a beautiful leather cover!

Far Outshines Basic Discs
I am so in love with these aluminum circa discs, which I got in the gorgeous teal color! I am using them as replacements for the standard discs that came with my letter sized book cloth notebook (the discs which I found disappointing in quality). Circa punched pages glide effortlessly on these aluminum discs, making for a much more enjoyable note taking experience. I can't wait to order more of these for my other notebooks!

If you love your circa notebook, worth the splurge
I have 25+ circa notebooks w a variety of disc colors & brands (make my own plastic covers with the circa leverage punch). These aluminum ones are my favorites. I have them in teal, garnet, and a few colors not available currently, like gold, silver, icy blue). Truly a pleasure to use (smoothest page turning of any brand, better even than Levenger's resin ones). Look sharp/classy, lightweight, and durable. Any of the colors would look great on a black or clear notebook. Teal is a little harder to find a cover colors that matche. An outrageously expensive luxury (try to get on sale), but like all Levenger discs, quality is stellar and you *will* notice the difference

great upgrade
The Levenger notebooks, now at over $100, look exactly like the arc notebooks from Staples for $20. They share a leather cover and cheap nasty plastic rings. These premium rings are a HUGE upgrade and should be standard on the notebooks. Do yourself a favor and immediately get rid of the plastic rings and switch to these. You will not be disappointed. Price is ridiculous for something that should be standard, but they are worth it.
June 8, 2013
I replaced the discs that came with the bomber jacket circa with these aluminum discs in a larger size because I wanted to add dividers and carry more paper. The aluminum discs make page turning even easier that the plastic discs. I highly recommend them. My only recommended improvements would be to offer more colors and reduce the price a little.
June 8, 2013
Sleek & Stylish
The silver Aluminum discs are very sleek and stylish and add that professional look to any notebook. They are also extremely functional as the notebook covers & pages seems to slide better on these than any others. I am going to get them in 2 more colors soon!
May 26, 2013
Classy and Functional!
I purchased these discs in Plum for use with my new Carezza notebook in Eggplant. Wow, do they look amazing together! I've already received many compliments from people and inquiries on where they can buy one of their own. Who would've thought that a small little notebook could cause such a stir? Great job on these Levenger! My only request is please make the aluminum discs in a darker purple as well as turquoise.
February 24, 2013
Please add colors!
I purchased the 1" red, green, purple and blue aluminum discs for my folders. Smaller discs would be great for the jotter notebooks and PDAs which I still use. Thanks!

I thought Circa couldn't get any better...
Then somebody heard my whistful musings about a desire for metal Circa rings. I jumped on these the moment I saw them in the store. The price didn't dissuade me for a moment, because I had a couple of notebooks which could really use the style and durability of metal given how much use and abuse they get. Then I actually got them intalled and I was blown away. The pages turn more smoothly and the notebooks themselves actually seem to be "stiffer" if that makes any sense. I've hooked quite a few people on Circa over the years, and everybody agrees that the "stiffening" is subtle but it's not my imagination, and slipped into the fabric-spined plastic notebooks they become the ultimate knock-around tool when you don't want to endanger your Ravello leather in a greasy spoon diner but don't want to leave home without your Circa! Not every new product in the Circa line has been an unqualified success, but the aluminum rings are just amazing, regardless of the price.

Antioch officials eye combining rescue, fire operations
By Diana Kuyper Special to The News-Sun November 23, 2012 7:14PM

Updated: January 24, 2013 4:46PM
Antioch officials have renewed a contract for another 90 days with the Antioch Rescue Squad in order to continue to monitor the ambulance provider to confirm the organization is following recommendations issued by the Illinois Department of Public Health.
ARS officials are working to resolve their internal problems discovered by a state investigation into accusations of unprofessional conduct, breaches of confidentiality, improper use of medications and IV fluids, patient mistreatment and paramedics working while under the influence of alcohol that were partly blamed on a lack of leadership in the non-profit organization.
"I don't want to go for any period of time without a contract," said village Trustee Ted Poulos, of the first 90-day contract that expired Nov. 20. "If there is a break in the contract we won't have any oversight of their operations."
ARS and village officials are waiting for a response from IDPH to an ARS plan of correction submitted to the state earlier this month. "IDPH told me they will respond shortly," said Village Attorney Robert Long. "I expect that means about mid-December."
Village Administrator James Keim authored a 14-page document titled "Village of Antioch EMS Delivery Report," in which he analyzed ARS operations and procedures gathered in ride-alongs on rescue calls, meetings and interviews with ARS officials and volunteers, review of ARS documents and weekly conference calls with IDPH. A survey of neighboring rescue operations is in the report, as are his recommendations for providing future services for residents.
"A lot is changing right now and the organization is evolving. I talked to a lot of people associated with ARS and I have a respect and admiration for what they do," said Keim. The bottom line of his report is a recommendation to combine rescue and fire services.
"If we did that we would meet the level of paramedic services of our neighboring six communities," including Fox Lake, Grayslake, Lake Villa, Newport, Round Lake and Salem, Wis.
Keim's research shows that ARS has 21 paramedics and 14 EMTs on its roster. The fire department has 32 paramedics and 12 EMTS. If the departments were combined it would mean 53 paramedics and 26 EMTs available to serve Antioch-area residents, above the average of 40 paramedics and 21 EMTs of the six surveyed EMS departments that operate under the umbrella of their fire departments.
The First Fire Protection District, which serves the township, also renewed a 90-day contract with ARS. During the next 90 days officials from the fire protection district and village will discuss the coordination of rescue services and the option of combining rescue and fire services.
"There are several ways to combine emergency services, but I recommend that it be done under a single command. I am not recommending the demise of ARS, but instead reaching a middle ground on the best way to provide services going forward," said Keim.
The village and fire district share oversight of the fire department under Fire Chief John Nixon, who said he supports extending the ARS contract although his staff could gear up quickly to take over rescue services.
The fire department is funded by taxpayers to provide fire protection services. ARS operates as a separate, private organization, partially funded by taxpayers and donations to provide ambulance services. It is now under the leadership of Acting Chief Brian DeKind.
The volunteer organization has been providing emergency medical services to the village for 72 years.
The fire department is also staffed by volunteers with some paid members. ARS contracts with Kurtz Paramedic Service for weekday coverage, but otherwise is staffed by volunteers.
"We've got a lot of homework to do over the next 90 days," said Trustee George Sakas. "This will get us through the response by IDPH and meeting with the fire protection district. This gets us to mid-February to make some decisions."

Too large
I ordered a size 7 and usually wear a 7 1/2 wide in most other shoes. I should have ordered a 6 and I probably still would have had room in the length. Since they are adjustable straps, they fit OK everywhere else except the huge gap beyond my toes where the white of the top sole shows. They were at least an inch too big. In some shoes a little extra room at the toe isn't that big of a deal, but the lip at the toe that comes up from the bottom sole and the fact that the pink contrasts with the white of the top sole makes the difference very noticeable. I was so looking forward to wearing these.

Golf Shoes?
I didn't read far enough into the description of these to realize they are golf shoes with "cleats" on the soles. I ordered them and was suprised when they arrived. It would be helpful if you could add "Golf" to the name you show online. I would absolutely love them if they were just regular sandals.

I've tried the suggestions in Network manager indicator missing (and rebooted), but I still don't have a Network Manager indicator.
How can I diagnose the problem?
For what it's worth, I'm using "Gnome classic (no effects)" (therefore I did not use "the Dash", whatever on Earth that is, to add the
nm-applet to my startup apps; I just used the
Startup Applications... dialog from the session menu).
Also, I cannot find the entry
nm-applet under
org > gnome in
