Before the white man came, the Valley Springs area was inhabited by Miwok Indians. The Indians wintered in this valley as evidenced by the grinding stone rocks on various ranches. The Indians, as late as the 1930s, traveled by foot and horse drawn wagons over Ebbetts Pass to trade their acorns, etc. with the Carson Valley Indians for pine nuts. The first habitation by white settlers was about two miles east of the present town on Highway 26. The settlement at that time was not regarded as a town — but there was a store owned by T. J. French and the Post Office addressed as "Pattee Place." Its serenity was not disturbed until 1884 when the town was moved in a westerly direction to the Late place, which is the large two-story stone house on Highway 12 at the western edge of Valley Springs. That year a townsite of 18 blocks was laid out and many attractive buildings were erected. Valley Springs is the only town in Calaveras County laid out in such an even grid pattern. The streets were named for various trees and flowers. Valley Springs had been a shipping center of the county ever since the railroad was established. The old depot building is still standing. However, today it is used for several retail businesses. In the early days, people were driven to Valley Springs by horse and buggy to meet the train for travel to distant points. When Calaveras Cement Co. was formed in the late 1920 s, the railroad was extended to Kentucky House near San Andreas, so that they could receive supplies and ship cement to distant cities. A line was built to the Mokelumne River so supplies could be delivered for the construction of Pardee Dam, from 1924 to its completion in 1929 to serve the water needs of the Oakland Bay area. The dam was named after Gov. George Pardee. You can still see the old railroad right-of-way cuts on the railroad bed near the Watertown Road as you go toward the Calaveras-Amador county line. The first and only train wreck was in 1946 when workers in a railroad handcar collided with a large locomotive. Needless to say, the men and handcar came out second best. The men were pensioned off after receiving a settlement. The mishap took place near Robbers' Bend, which is the deep cut just beyond the present day Toyon Middle School, where you can look south to see the water from Hogan Reservoir. George Late was the first settler. He had reached San Francisco after a trip "around the Horn" on Aug. 22, 1849. He returned to the east and married Miss Rebecca Shaffer in 1854. The youthful couple embarked for California on June 22nd and traveled by the Panama Route arriving in California in August 1855. Their home of limestone was quarried from a hill near town. It served the Late family for many years and is still in excellent condition. Warren Lamb was among the first to build in Valley Springs. He built and owned a restaurant, saloon and feed stable. In those days mule teams, freighters, and stages halted for the night in Valley Springs. The first hotel was built by John Plummer , who later sold it to Chester Meyers. A second hotel was built by Henry Purdy. Harvey Smith built the first blacksmith shop. Smith was a wheelwright, building buggies, carts, and light spring wagons to sale. Many horses and mules were shod for the teams that came to haul freight from the depot to the mountain towns. The first school was held in a quarry building below the Late house until their own school was finally built. The first teacher was Amy O'Neal. T. J.. French was the first merchant. Later. F. L. Johnson built a second store, which was a two-story building with a town hall over the store. Church and Sunday School were held in the hall before the church was built. In later years, Johnson sold it to a man named Manner, who then sold it to T. J. French. French moved his merchandise to the Johnson building. French sold to T. J. Pliler, who was an employee in the French store. Pliller's partner was his brother-in-law Joshua Lillie, hence the name Pliler and Lillie. In 1939, Pliler had the old building torn down and a new one-story building was erected. The store in 1990 was still operated by the daughter-in-law, Mrs. Bonnie Pliler. The Plilers also raised foxes commercially at the end of Sequoia Street, where today there is a mobile home park. While Frank Pattee was still a small boy, he peddled meat in town and its immediate vicinity. Soon, as an accommodation to his customers, he was carrying more groceries from French's store to customers than his meat from the Pattee place. The Pattee Ranch is located on the northeast side of Valley Springs, where the tree growing out of the large stone bluff is a famous landmark called Castle Rock. The oldest brother John Pattee concluded that the business of general merchandising might prove a more profitable business than stock raising. A short time later a store was opened under the name of Pattee Brothers. This building, at the corner of Laurel and California streets (Highway 12) was later sold to Pete Ormes, who had it torn down and a new building erected for a modern restaurant. Ormes was a very colorful figure, having been a horse jockey in the east. Legend has it that he came out to Valley Springs to hide out from gangster mobs who were out to get him for fixing horse races. Pete's Cafe was famous for its gourmet food such as pheasant under glass. People who travel to Valley Springs, the enticement of course were the fine food and hospitality. There was also gambling and many slot machines in full view of the restaurant and bar. This operation was highly illegal; rumor has it that the local law enforcement officers only confiscated the machine in the establishment belonging to others. Pete had paid his "dues" to the "Widows and Orphans Fund." Another rumor was told that Pete kept buckets of money in the basement, and if you wanted to cash a check he would go down under the bar to the basement to retrieve some moldy money in exchange for your check. This money was supposed to have come from the gambling and restaurant-bar cash, which was salted away in order to avoid paying income tax. Perhaps this tale was told around the bar one too many times, as in 1973 he met his Waterloo. Three people were involved in beating him to death, trying to make him tell where the money was hidden. One of the thugs hid in the restroom after the closing hours, then turned off the burglar alarm and let the others inside. Pete lived in living quarters inside the restaurant building. The thugs quickly tied him up and tortured him trying to find where the buckets of money were hidden. He never told, perhaps it was just a bar room story but it cost him his life. Those criminals were never apprehended. In the early days Valley Springs received water from the Mokelumne Hill Canal Company, which can still be seen at the northerly confluence of Paloma and Watertown roads. Water also was sent to Campo Seco and Burson through another fork in the ditch; the areas were a garden paradise with many fruit and nut trees and vegetable and flower gardens. When water was no longer available from this source, John Pattee supplied the town with water from a large tank northeast of the town, which may still be seen on the hill overlooking town. The water came from three shallow wells. In the summertime in the 1940s the water shortage was so bad that the men coming home from work at the lumberyard near the present-day Toyon Middle School had no water in which to bathe. The tanks were dry by early afternoon and it wasn't until around midnight there was sufficient water. About that time a lease was negotiated between the town and John Snyder to take water from the Deep Blue Gravel Channel on his ranch two miles north of town. A pipeline was built and a large metal tank installed for water storage. The system was expanded in about 1980 and another well put into the McCord Shaft on John's property. An old school building was moved from Burson to Valley Springs, which was used for the Community Methodist Church, which began in 1884. It was replaced by a concrete block church in the 1960s, which is at the corner of Laurel and Sequoia streets and the "A" frame holds a very beautiful stained glass window. Valley Springs had been the hub from which the ministers worked. In the past the Methodist minister had preached in 14 different locations throughout the county earning the title of circuit rider. Many places were reached on foot, and those further reached by horseback. The Valley Springs Methodist Church is the only Methodist Church in Calaveras County today. When yours truly came to Valley Springs in 1945, there were six saloons and one church; today there are only two bars and six churches. On Sept. 4, 1885, a fire burned down the greater part of the town. The hotel that burned stood on the property next to Pliler's store and was located where the Valley Springs Pharmacy is today. The first doctor to live here was a woman named Dr. Wall. She visited her patients on horseback. When the town was moved from the Pattee Place to its present location it needed a new name. The people wished to call it Spring Valley - since the Spring Valley Hotel located three miles east on the road toward San Andreas had burned down. Since there was another post office by that name already in existence they simply changed the name around and called it Valley Spring. There was originally no "s" at the end of Spring. Perhaps the entrepreneur who started bottling and selling water from the springs on the Pattee place was responsible for the adding of the "s". The city of Stockton built the old Hogan Dam. It was completed in 1931 with a capacity of 78,000 acre-feet of water for flood control for Stockton. In 1964, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers built the new Hogan Dam with a present capacity of 318,000 acre-feet; at the same time the park was made available to the public. Several large ranches totaling 6,000 acres were combined to form Rancho Calaveras. It was put on the market in 1965 and all of the 4,000 subdivided one-half to three acre parcels were sold within 18 months. The capital investment of six million grossed the developers thirty-six million dollars in return. La Contenta followed in 1975, with the 650 homesites having all been sold. The La Contenta golf course is noted for having the finest putting greens in Northern California. Since 1975 there has been community involvement in food booths, arts & crafts and gems & minerals at the Snyder's Valley Springs Pow-Wow, held annually the first weekend in May. The Valley Springs Area Business Association was founded in 1984. Their highlights each year is the Christmas Parade & Craft Faire. Sources: Ida M.

The Society for the Preservation of West Calaveras History will present the first-ever exhibition of photographs of the San Joaquin & Sierra Nevada Railroad not only in the last remaining depot of that rail line in Valley Springs but also on the 122nd anniversary of its first train pulling into town. The exhibition will be unveiled on Wednesday, April 25, at a mixer sponsored by the Valley Springs Area Business Association which will run from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m at The Ice Cream Depot (25 Highway 12/California St.).
The "Something From Nothing" photo exhibition of early West Calaveras history will be at Ironstone Vineyards in Murphys from Saturday, February 17 (the first day of Presidents' Day Weekend) through Sunday, March 18 (the day following the Murphys Irish Day and Ironstone's Daffodils Day festivities).

Experience rarely seen photographs from the 19th and early 20th centuries depicting the people and places of Valley Springs, Burson, Wallace, Jenny Lind and more.
One hundred and twenty-five years after its founding, residents of the Calaveras County town of Wallace and their neighbors will for the first time in history honor the man after whom the town is named. In 1882, John Wallace surveyed the railroad line that went through the area; his son, John Herbert Wallace, then surveyed the townsite itself.
Article On The Man After Whom Wallace Is Named
For those who are interested in learning about the man after whom Wallace is named..."Las Calaveras," the quarterly journal of the Calaveras County Historical Society, has published an article that encompasses the entire current issue (July). You may obtain a copy at the CCHS in San Andreas ($8 each) or via the Society for the Preservation of West Calaveras History ($10, including shipping and handling).

"Something From Nothing," an exhibition of photographs chronicling the early history of West Calaveras, will become a reality thanks to a $2,000 grant awarded the Society for the Preservation of West Calaveras History by the Calaveras Community Foundation. When completed, the traveling exhibit, and an accompanying brochure, will be available to schools, service clubs, selected businesses, other organizations and community events. The exhibition is scheduled to be completed and available by the end of September.
A feature on the efforts of the Society for the Preservation of West Calaveras History will be on Channel 10 (ABC) on the Six O'Clock News on Friday, June 2. The report by Jonathan Mumm will include the old Burson School at Valley Springs Elementary, the Late House and the Valley Springs train depot. Lots of local folks were interviewed, including John Huston--who is seen entering the school for the first time since 1941!-- and Elaine Evans-Anberg, who was one of the last two graduates of the school (1957). This is probably the first time ever that the Burson School has been on television!
Society for the Preservation of West Calaveras History
The towns of Burson, Wallace, Valley Springs, Campo Seco, Paloma, and Jenny Lind have a long and colorful history that needs to be preserved, cherished and made available to its citizens as well as to the citizens of the rest of Calaveras County, the State of California and elsewhere. The Society for the Preservation of West Calaveras History (SPWCH) was formed in 2006 as a nonprofit educational corporation to celebrate that history in an effective and educational manner. The SPWCH is empowered to acquire items of historical interest (from photographs and memorabilia to ephemera and buildings), to preserve and restore such items, to disseminate knowledge of the area's history to the general public and to function as a resource for students, historians, governmental agencies and others.

FCW Forum | Government 2.0
As the new administration takes shape, a debate has begun over the role social media will play — or should play — in public participation processes. There is rising tension and confusion over the appropriate place for social media alongside traditional public comment.
Both sides have their vocal proponents, but in my view, Government 2.0 needs both. Each has its purpose.
"Public comment" is a term of art — a legal standard that requires comments to be relevant, free of profanity, and offered with full attribution and identity. Public comments are a matter of public record and are to be shared as a matter of law. Think of it as a modern version of a town-hall meeting, a formalized process that requires participants to provide their names and places of residency, and speak on-point while contributing informed input.
The rising acceptance of social media does not alter this historic governmental process. As observed by Cass Sunstein in "Infotopia: How Many Minds Produce Knowledge," the purpose of public comment is not to engage in social interaction but rather to allow citizens the opportunity to share an opinion, one that is not influenced by social fear, to advise their representatives. In return, decision-makers benefit from the opportunity to discover that one good — and perhaps dissident — idea that might shape new solution possibilities.
Social media is different. The perceived value of social media is in part based on peer-to-peer communication that promotes the sharing of ideas. Social networks are designed to facilitate social exchanges that lead to collaborative problem solving and often unplanned or unexpected responses. Ideas are built collectively one meme at a time.
Consider the widely publicized Citizen's Briefing Book, a compilation of citizen input regarding the issues facing our nation. The response was impressive. More than 70,000 people participated, casting half a million votes on suggestions and generating tens of thousands of ideas, according to President Barack Obama's Change.gov site.
The Citizen's Briefing Book demonstrates that many people find the discussion and sharing of ideas to be highly relevant — enough so to move them to contribute and participate in a way that traditional public comment processes have not. With a lack of transparency and failed expectations, public comment processes have not delivered. One might argue that social media solves these problems.
So, public comment and social media have their place in Gov 2.0. If we truly believe that maximizing citizen engagement is a worthy goal, it follows that as government, we have to do both.
We must provide a means for engagement that enables simple citizen-to-government communication. On the other hand, peer-to-peer communication through the use of social media will enable government agencies to take advantage of the value inherent in citizen networks and will welcome even more citizens into the process.
Government will best meet rising citizen expectations by making sharp, thoughtful distinctions between the old tried and tested public comment and the new promising world of social media. But there is a difference.

Someone we need to influence.Submitted by MudClock on Mon, 03/12/2012 - 08:44
I am a former liberal who was very much influenced by Amy Goodman on Democracy Now, I understand she has a lot of influence over the Left. Many of my liberal friends get most of their news from her and believe she is a beacon of truth. Her 'War and Peace report' is a daily web/radio/tv show dedicated to war and peace, broadcasting on over 1000 stations yet she rarely if ever portrays Ron Paul in a positive light. Infact she usually goes out of her way to dismiss Paul and his anti-war views. Today on her program she showed complicity in the Virgin Islands blackout. She didn't even mention the March on the Whitehouse last month. I urge everyone to spend a minute and send her a message demanding she report fairly on Ron and to give him the credit he deserves especially for his anti-war position, here:
*** http://www.democracynow.org/contact ***
here as some articles supporting my theory:
Amy plays a large role in influencing progressives and we need her on our side, or at least to report fairly.
Having been educated by her for the last 8 years I have/had a great deal of respect for her. But her dismissal of Paul feels like she is cheating on me, and I find it hard to trust her now... it's upsetting, but enlightening
Does anyone else watch Democracy Now? Do you feel the same way as I do?

Frankly, I hate to say it, but any blog or newssite I visit, I first search "ron paul" to see what the attitude of the writer is, to determine whether they omit, whether they're well-meaning but mis/dis/ill-informed, or are a-holes actively out to malign the Good Doc.
Pass that test, they get a second visit, otherwise they're toast, to me.
I don't know if it's sad or good that Dr. Paul has become a barometer for so many of my activities lately: Pass the 'Ron Paul Test,' you're my friend, fail it, bugger off!
Still, I visit one too many sites from all political factions per day, and merely consider all of them as nothing more than a source of info and/or disinfo for me to discern and more often than not, like sifting through Pravda to puzzle together the Truth buried somewhere on page A3 and D19, to 'read between the lines.'
AlterNet, like RawStory.com, is a site that I used to respect during GWB regime, but has since turned into a bunch of mindless neoLib lunatics spouting anti-RP BS all day, justifying their breathtakingly Marianas Trench-deep cognitive dissonance, as they rationalize away 'humanitarian aid' and oBUSHma's "Kinetic Military Action."
Hell, even Medea Benjamin of the supposed premier anti-war Left movement Code Pink, for first two yrs under oBUSHma sought to rationalize to stay in AfPak to 'defend women's rights,' until it became clear to her that it was an untenable political position; certainly her actions proved that she changed her position, not out of deeply held principles, but out of political expediency. Still, while more in numbers of those who dissent against tyranny is good, the purity of principle to the level upheld by Dr. Paul, is frankly unmatchable by most. We're certainly not gonna find an activist on the Left, even those whom we can work with, like Medea on specific issues, who are as principled as the Good Doc.
Sometimes I almost wish AlterNet were a printed rag, so I can have the joy of burning them in my fireplace, hey may as well make good use of trash, right?
There's a particularly ignorant wench named Adele Stan http://www.alternet.org/authors/8029/ who is a complete econ-imbecile yet deludes she's qualified to lecture the rest of the world on Austrian econ, or on any econ topic for that matter (a socialist lecturing others on economics? Insert your jokes here: _________), without EVER demonstrating that she's read a single book, or even a short treatise, let alone understand anything that has to do with economics. And of course, she goes on the Kirchick train whenever she gets a chance.
Let's face it. There is ONLY ONE principled, philosophically based 'political movement' in this country. You're already IN it.o) Welcome to the r3VOLution!
Plus, sorry to let down the liberals, but both theirs and RINO/neoCON interventionist domestic and foreign policies are gonna fail, for all the obvious reasons parsed ad infinitum here on DailyPaul. But most acutely for liberal impositionists, sorry to say, we like our philosophy and we're armed to defend it, when necessary.
Sucks for them they hate guns. Worst part is, the supposed "nice guys" like a baby rattlesnake who isn't accustomed to controlling its venom sac fully, since they're not accustomed to handling dangerous objects on a frequent basis or learn to incorporate releasing tension in their lives regularsly, when they do suddenly come in contact with Power or dangerous objects, they either go Lord of the Flies (Mayor Quan of Okland was another community organizer who got power and look how she treated the Occupy Oakland protestors) or go Columbine Postal.
We're gonna WIN this PEACEFULLY, but we're gladly armed, just in case.o)

"Let it not be said that no one cared, that no one objected once it's realized that our liberties and wealth are in jeopardy." - Dr. Ronald Ernest Paul
I have a LOT more respect for Goodman than I do for . . .
Beck, but it almost seems that both are suffering from the same malady--
being controlled by moneyed elite--
it's hard to be awake; it's easier to dream--
yup, while Amy still has a place
especially for her now infamous coverage of E. Timor (though, mysteriously, she's never done that kind of hard hitting coverage ever since; can't say I blame her as she almost got killed doing it) be that as it may, the fact of the matter is, her entire operation could not survive without the funding from private corporatist foundations, nor leeching off of Pacifica Radio.
I lost ALL my respect for her, when she actively sought to NOT DISCUSS & omit ANYTHING to do with 9/11, truly in-depth blowback discussions, nor 9/11 Truth activists, until she was hounded in to submission to hold a pathetic 'debate' between Loose Change producers vs.the Popular Mechanic propagandists who couldn't find intelligence for their half-wit brains, even if 220IQ brains were on sale in Aisle 6 at your local grocery.
She did have Dr. Paul on once or twice in late 1990's and prior to Iraq War. But once it became clear that he IS the de facto most prominent Pro-America anti-illegal war proponent, all her coverage of him ceased, let alone ever inviting him back on again.
For those of still genuinely well-intentioned progressive leanings, I'd say support your local Pacifica Networks like KPFA, http://www.kpfa.org/ especially Bonnie Faukner of Guns & Butter, a most awesome show http://www.kpfa.org/guns-and-butter even if her own econ politics lean more Ellen Brown, the author of Web of Debt and an attorney and what Gary North calls a "Greenbacker" (still for fiat currency, as long as it is made by the States or a FED under Treasury, just like Webster Tarpley, whom I respect immensely on geopolitical analyses, but drives me insane when he goes on to worship at the altars of FDR and the utterly fascist Hamiltonian "American System" that has gotten us to the financial malaise that we are today, like most LaRouchians. Well, considering Tarp used to be Lyndon's no.2 not too surprising. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_School_%28economics%29)
Predictions in due Time...
"Let it not be said that no one cared, that no one objected once it's realized that our liberties and wealth are in jeopardy." - Dr. Ronald Ernest Paul
I left (*no pun intended*) the left/right . . .
paradigm behind years ago--
so I will look for info anywhere and question it from any source--
but, while I realized that Amy was being controlled a long time ago--
I prefer her calm demeanor to Beck's ranting.
Yet, they are cut from the same cloth, paid news agents.
it's hard to be awake; it's easier to dream--

Contract standoffs between hospital systems and health insurers typically have a way of being resolved — often right before a deadline.
But high-stakes negotiations between Grady Health System and Georgia's biggest insurer failed to produce a new contract before the midnight deadline Sunday.
That means Grady Memorial Hospital is now "out of network" for Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Georgia members. Patients with Blue Cross insurance will face higher out-of-pocket costs at the Atlanta hospital and its clinics.
Both Grady and Blue Cross expressed disappointment that a deal was not reached. Contract negotiations had been under way for a year.
Grady recently had launched a publicity campaign to call attention to low reimbursements from Blue Cross, saying those payments were lower than the insurer's rates for other comparable hospitals in Atlanta and throughout the state. full story

I got this recipe out of the St.Cloud Times (courtesy of my mom, Peeps) in 1997. It actually is quite simple to do, the hardest part is slicing the onion, but if you buy an onion blossom cutter, you will have it made in the shade! This is a really fun appetizer to serve too...very impressive looking!

How To End Your Marriage Without Destroying Your Family

Medical science is making meaningful strides in terms of reducing heart disease and some forms of cancer. But why are we desperately losing the battle when it comes to Alzheimer's disease?
The statistics take your breath away. We've already got 5.4 million Alzheimer's patients right here in the U.S., and that number is poised to double by 2030. And the cost for caring for these folks is estimated to be around $200 billion each year, almost triple what's spent in treating cancer patients.
Recently, news reports again revealed another multi-million dollar failure in an attempt to develop a meaningful treatment for this disease. So as of now, there remains no "magic pill" for this malady.
But the most heart-wrenching factor in this discussion is the simple, well-supported fact that Alzheimer's disease is preventable. The disease that not only robs individuals of their ability to care for themselves, but emotionally cripples their families as well, is a situation that doesn't need to happen.
Lifestyle factors are profoundly influential in determining risk for Alzheimer's, and yet, perhaps because they cannot be monetized, no one is bringing this information to public awareness.
For example, researchers at the prestigious Mayo Clinic recently published a report showing that a lower carb, higher fat diet is associated with a 42% risk reduction for dementia, the most common form being Alzheimer's.
More recently, the New England Journal of Medicine showed us that even small elevations of blood sugar translate into increased risk for becoming demented. And blood sugar relates to dietary choices. Higher carbs means higher risk for dementia.
Alzheimer's can, and more importantly should be prevented, even if it means, and perhaps especially if it means that preventing this disease will translate to a reduction in sales of pharmaceuticals.
So what can you do, today, to meaningfully reduce your risk for Alzheimer's disease, a disease for which the current medical armamentarium offers no treatment solution?
1. Adopt a dramatically lower carbohydrate diet. That means counting carbs and keeping them below 60-80 grams daily.
2. Add more fat. Fat is a super fuel for the brain, protecting and nourishing delicate brain cells. Good choices include extra-virgin olive oil, coconut oil, grass-fed beef, and wild caught fish.
3. Begin an aerobic exercise program targeting at least 20 minutes of sustained aerobics daily.
4. Take a DHA supplement. DHA, a specific omega-3, targets the genes that actually allow you to grow new brain cells specifically in the brain's memory center.
To learn more about how dietary choices affect your neurological health, check out Dr. Perlmutter's book Grain Brain: The Surprising Truth About Wheat, Carbs, and Sugar—Your Brain's Silent Killers.

Cable went 4-8 after replacing Lane Kiffin with the Raiders (5-11), who have lost at least 11 games in six consecutive seasons. Cable, Kiffin's former offensive line coach, rallied Oakland to back-to-back victories to end the season.
Oakland owner Al Davis interviewed a handful of candidates for the vacancy, but never seemed seriously inclined to replace Cable, valuing his organizational loyalty and leadership.
The Raiders will make the official announcement at a news conference Wednesday.

FOX Sports Exclusive
More to BYU than the first impression
They're running again. They're ripping the ball off the rim, turning it 90 feet in an all-out sprint, taking everything you think you know about basketball and throwing it back in your face.
The fastest, strongest, most athletic team at the West Coast Conference tournament also happens to be the whitest. This is admittedly the crudest observation one could make about BYU, but it is nonetheless true. One look at the players on the floor, the players on the bench and even the coaching staff, and it hits you. BYU is the whitest team in major college basketball.
And yet, in so many ways, no team in the country is as capable of challenging our perceptions of race and basketball and what it means to be talented in a game where the majority of Division I players are black.
Despite a loss to Gonzaga on Saturday in the conference tournament semifinals, BYU is likely to play in the NCAA tournament for a sixth straight year. This is no small feat at school that has a solid basketball history but only sporadic success on a national level. Before this current streak, BYU averaged four NCAA appearances per decade. It is also no small feat at a school affiliated with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, where 98 percent of the students are practicing Mormons, blacks make up just one half of one percent of the 34,000 students and an honor code prohibits all kinds of behaviors that would be accepted elsewhere.
Demographically, the basketball team isn't overwhelmingly different from the school. Four of BYU's 13 scholarship players (and one assistant coach) are black, one of whom is originally from the Ivory Coast. Though it didn't happen Friday night in a quarterfinal win over San Diego, BYU has played stretches this season with five white players on the floor, something rarely seen at this level of college basketball.
It's also striking that just two players on the roster — UCLA transfer Matt Carlino and freshman Anson Winder — are not members of the LDS church. Coach Dave Rose, who has won nearly 78 percent of his games, doesn't spend much time recruiting non-Mormon players because he knows he's unlikely to get them.
DANCING SHOESThe NCAA tournament starts on March 13, but the Madness is already here. We have photos to prove it.
"We'll tell them, 'Hey, we really believe you could help our program,' " Rose said. "But there has to be some part of them that actually recruits us and says, 'You know what, this is something I really could see myself doing. Then we see if it's a fit."
It's not impossible for BYU to get a player for traditional basketball reasons. Winder, an African-American and practicing Catholic from Las Vegas, was recruited by a number of mid-major programs. The 6-foot-3 guard, who starts for the Cougars after redshirting last year, came in part because his father played junior-college basketball with Rose at Dixie College in the late 1970s.
"Not everybody can adjust to the life of BYU," he said. "It's different, but people there, they still accept me as if I am a member of the church. They treat me the same. Nobody cares. Sure, people talk to you about their religion, but overall everyone's pretty accepting. I love it."
People focus on these things when it comes to BYU because it's impossible not to. It is a unique place, more driven by its religious and cultural mission than any school in the country. And when that bleeds into athletics, perceptions form.
BYU? Its players are the slow, chippy white guys who stand outside and shoot 3-pointers, right? The guys you would see in your church league, only a little taller and a little better, right? That's the perception of BYU basketball because that's largely the perception of white players. Even last season, when Jimmer Fredette was a national attraction every time the Cougars took the court, he was labeled slow and unathletic.
And yet to watch BYU this season and realize what it has accomplished is to understand that race and religion have as little to do with the way they play as any team in the country.
THE DAILYThe Daily is the first daily national news publication created for the iPad. For more, click here.
BYU has legitimate talent. BYU has athletes who are at their best playing fast, ripping and running, speeding up your tempo. BYU doesn't have Jimmer anymore, but it has a few guys who will make a living paying basketball somewhere.
"And we just sent four or five guys to the NBA or overseas the past three or four years too," Rose said. "Everyone thought when Jimmer left this team would be in trouble and maybe we'd plateau at .500 or something. They've won 25 games. That's one of the challenges that this group has actually risen up to."
Take our perceptions of race and religion out of the equation, and BYU looks as much like a big-time program as any team West of the Rockies. They score, they run and they play a thoroughly entertaining brand of basketball. Ken Pomeroy, the guru of advanced statistics, ranks them fifth in the country in tempo. If you don't like watching BYU, you either don't like basketball or you have an outdated paradigm of what BYU is supposed to be.
"You definitely have to be ready to run when you come to BYU," Winder said. "For a player who wants to get out and run, it's a good fit."
We have seen in the midst of the Jeremy Lin story that for as much as we talk about moving past stereotypes, they are still prevalent when it comes to athletic ability. Like Lin, BYU is supposed to fit in a certain box, to be a certain type of team. Then you watch BYU, and you realize none of it is true.
It doesn't mean BYU is going to win a national title or even get to a Final Four. But if the Cougars can shake people out of looking at them just as a white team and more as one of the most entertaining teams in college basketball, that's an even bigger accomplishment.

Infinite Dimir uses combos to bring about a variety of infinite combos.
Grand Architect + Pili-Pala = infinite mana of any color.
Thopter Foundry + Time Sieve + Sword of the Meek + 5 mana = infinite turns.
Filigree Sages + Planar Portal + infinite mana = infinite search.
Thopter Foundry + Sword of the Meek + Grand Architect = infinite creatures and infinite life.
And all of these combos are to play multi player games. I want the deck to get its combos out fast and keep playing more where one combo helps out another.
One problem with the deck so far is that most of the combos revolve around the Grand Architect.
I think another infinite mana combo is Myr Galvanizer + Palladium Myr . Though you do need 2 galvanizers in play.
Or two Myr Galvanizer s and 1 Silver Myr and 1 Leaden Myr for colored mana.
all you have to do is google them. thats how i found a lot of combos for my decks

Richard Lewis was amazing but the opening acts were weak. The guy presenting seemed bored, slow and tired....and the kid is in his 20s. The second guy had some good moments, but not consistently. The contrast just showed how talented Richard Lewis is. He was so in the moment. He brought the crowd in to his world. I felt like I was actually swimming in his neurotic brain. It was quite the ride.

The first 2 comics were great, but the headliner was horrible. Neither myself or any of my friends liked it, he was very hard to follow. By the reaction of the audience I don't think we were alone on this feeling. It seemed like Richard Lewis...continued

This gets 2 stars merely for the opening act - that guy was AWESOME!! Richard Lewis was all over the place - there was no act. He was just scrambling around and talking, talking, talking. It was a little weird...

The Australian guy who opened was awesome! However, Richard Lewis is all over the board - can't even finish a thought. Funny at times but exhausting to watch

Pinterest Gets $100M In Funding From Japan's Rakuten, Now Valued at $1.5 Billion
The 3rd largest social networking site, Pinterest, has pinned down a lead investor in their highly contested round of funding according to AllThingsD. The Japansese e-commerce company, Rakuten, will invest "upwards of $50 million in a $100 million round." This total investment round will place the valuation of Pinterest at $1.5 billion dollars.
The partnership makes sense from an offerings and from a global expansion standpoint. Pinterest has stopped leveraging affiliate links for revenue and moving forward with commerce on the site is a logical next step. With the global expansion, Rakuten released the following statement in an official press release:
The funding will allow Pinterest to continue improving its service and expanding its community globally. The investment also marks the start of a strategic partnership between Rakuten and Pinterest to help expand in Japan and into Rakuten's 17 other global markets.
Last October a round of $25 million had valued Pinterest at $200 million. Just seven months later, Pinterest's valuation has risen 750%. Rakuten is a leader in e-commerce with over 10,000 employees worldwide.

Conventional operations are starting to wind down in Afghanistan - we are months away from the international troops leaving. But drone strikes are likely to continue. Drones are widely assumed to be a clean, remote way of pursuing western counter-terrorism objectives there. Yet in its work on Pakistan, the Bureau has shown on countless occasions that drones are not as surgical as claimed.
I didn't know Jacob nearly as well as many others and yet I've still been walking around in a fog since I heard Jacob took his life.The energy and passion Jacob lived by made it difficutl not to feel connected to him within minutes of meeting him. Twenty two veterans killing themselves a day is an abstract statistic. Until it's not, and you've lost a friend.
It is now more dangerous to be a woman than a soldier in modern conflict... Throughout history, the abuse of women has been seen as an inevitable by-product of conflict and it wasn't until the late 90s when the international community recognised the use of sexual violence as a crime of war and against humanity.
As Randolph Bourne said when writing about World War I in 1918, war is the health of the state. As America's power has grown, so has its propensity for war. Regardless of the debates about the justness or morality of war, the numbers have shown peace to be the exception in America while war has been the rule, making this last century since the start of World War I undeniably a century of warfare.
Is Bergdahl a deserter? A traitor? Is he, as some critics in the US have implausibly suggested, a real-life incarnation of Nicholas Brody of the TV series Homeland, a captured US serviceman who may have switched sides? Or is he one more casualty of war, a man whose wounds can't be seen but are real nonetheless? It's perfectly possible, of course, to be both.
As Britain approaches the end of its combat operations in Afghanistan, the usual fanfare associated with victory in war will be notably absent. No triumphal parades, no formal surrender ceremony, and no heroic march into an enemy's capital. As Churchill wrote in 1897, "the victory must be looked for in the results."

mass market red wine vinegar
- Danimal May 9, 2008 11:48 AM
Any suggestions? I have some really cheap stuff that destroys anything its in.
re: chef chicklet
What a hoot!! I never realized this was actually called Pompeian. I never noticed the an. Anyway I see that I can get 12 bottles on Amazon....they must have this somewhere... I thought about it when I was eating my salad with red wine vinegar and olive oil dressing tonight. love that.
I have Pompeian in my cabinet right now...have also enjoyed Cento..would go with either but I read an article the other day at Cooks Illustrated where they tested red wine vinegars and the conclusion was NOT to purchase gourmet versions of this particular vinegar...that the grocery store is a fine place to purchase it.
Okay, I HAD to go look for the link, here it is (sheesh!):
re: Danimal
Also, did everyone here already know that the brand "Cento" is pronounced
"Chento"? I did not know that til I saw a commercial for it on tv recently...I'd been going around pronouncing it "Sento." Just wanted to share....
Colavita brand aged white wine vinegar is very good. I'm sure the red is comparable in quality, and both come very reasonably priced in convenient 17oz bottles.
Decent balsamic from Modena can be bought at a very good price. Granted that it may not have the bite you're looking for but ...
re: erica
How strange that you can't access it--it works fine and I'm not a paying member of CI...perhaps try it now:
Okay, I see the problem ... you can't access the comparison chart...also, that article was from 2003--er, a little outdated...heh, way to go Val... Well, I have Pompeian and really like it ... others here really like Spectrum.
re: DebL
Thanks! Spectrum is the one that I am about to finish. The interesting thing is that each week or so, before I used it, I had to filter out the cloudy "mother" that formed in the bottle. I had never had this experience before--maybe because it is an organic product? I will pick up either that or the Pompeiian this week....
re: Val
Hey, if you go to this link, you can access it:
says that Spectrum and Pompeian are the best and that people like sweeter ones, which I've experienced too. I wonder whether it's worth trying the gourmet ones. "How to cook everything" says the best red wine vinegars come from CA or Spain and cost $8-$30.
re: erica
Though the OP seems to be looking for a mass-market RWV, perhaps you're looking for a tasty alternative. The RWV that has most impressed me was a product produced by Steven Singer called Aceto Vivo. It is one of the rare RWV's on the market that's unpasteurized, hence the "Vivo" in its name.
I came across it when I was looking for an unpasteurized RWV to build my own RWV mother to culture my own vinegar at home, and when I tried it I was blown away. Incredible product, but unfortunately as hard to find as it is delicious.
I'm a mad fan of Pastene red wine vinegar. About 20 years ago I went to dinner with my Mom in Boston's North End (Italian neighborhood.)... salad was her favorite thing. She asked about the dressing (a simple and delicious oil and vinegar prep with some seasonings) and the waiter brought out the bottle for us to see. It's a bit less sharp than most inexpensive red wine vinegars, and makes wonderful dressings with decent olive oil.
re: pasuga
I personally have a fondness for a brand called Etrusco or Etrvsco (because of the way it's written, it could be either.) which I pick up at a little store I know I'm not sure if it counts as mass market but at $7 per liter, I'm not really sure it counts as expensive either. Look for a logo of two greek looking individuals (one young one old) on either side of an amphorae. This stuff is my go to vinegar for a lot of things. In partiucalr it is exactly the strength I find ideal for making things like Horatiki and marinades. Well balanced, nice flavor (I think it is Chianti based)
re: jumpingmonk
Looks like the company spells it Etrusco on their website.
(But for the ancient Romans, and their predecessors, the Etruscans, there was no u in the alphabet. They used only v.)
re: racer x
I was aware of that, it was simply pointing out that, with the squared off, pseudo chiseled type they used the letter could be interpreted as either. And while it is true that the letter was always "v" the letter itself was referred to as "u" that's why the next letter is called "double u" not "double v". It's still not all that uncommone to use "V" instead of "U" when engraving (or why, on some old US coins (mercury dimes come to mind) the saying goes "IN GOD WE TRVST".
But however you spell it, it's still damn good vinegar.

Tom Hicks Looking To Renegotiate Stars, Rangers' Debt
Published April 6, 2009
|Hicks' Company Has Stopped Making
Interest-Only Payments On Loans
NO CAUSE FOR CONCERN: Hicks said, "We're doing this to get everybody's attention so they'll make a decision and cooperate with us. This is really between me and the banks and the lenders to HSG" (FT. WORTH STAR-TELEGRAM, 4/4). Hicks in an e-mail also said, "There is no possibility of banks owning the teams" (STAR-TELEGRAM.com, 4/3). In addition, the NHL said that it is "not worried about the future" of the Stars. NHL Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly in an e-mail said, "We have no concerns about the Stars' ability to carry on." Daly indicated that the NHL is "not helping Hicks find new investors for the Stars" (GLOBE & MAIL, 4/4). Meanwhile, Hicks did confirm that he is "seeking buyers for a minority stake" in both the Stars and Rangers. Hicks: "We continue to interview prospective partners for the team, and we are optimistic because these are two strong long-term investments for the right people" (FINALTERNATIVES.com, 4/3). Hicks, who owns 95% of both teams, last week said that he was willing to let prospective partners purchase up to 49% of each club. Hicks Friday said, "I'm bringing in minority partners, so I can pay off the loans. I wouldn't normally do that. In this particular environment, that's what we should do" (AP, 4/4).

Oil Spill Response Limited (OSRL), the global oil spill response co-operative funded by more than 160 oil and energy companies, has announced the opening of a new Base in Saldanha Bay, South Africa, to support regional and global response operations. The Base houses cutting edge well capping equipment designed to shut-in an uncontrolled subsea well, marking a major advancement in Africa's oil spill response capability.
The Saldanha capping stack is available to oil and gas companies across the industry through OSRL's Subsea Well Intervention Service (SWIS) which provides for swift subsea incident response around the world. The integrated subsea well intervention system includes four capping stacks suitable for international use and two hardware kits for debris clearance, BOP intervention and the subsea application of dispersant at a wellhead. The equipment can be used for the majority of known subsea wells in water depths up to 3000m.
The SWIS equipment is currently stored in three international locations - Stavanger, Norway; Singapore; and Saldanha Bay, South Africa; and is maintained ready for immediate mobilisation and onward transportation by sea and/or air in the event of an incident. Further capping and dispersant equipment will be delivered for storage in Brazil by the end of this year. A global containment solution is also being developed to supplement the intervention system and will be ready for use by the end of 2014.
SWIS is the culmination of unprecedented industry collaboration. In 2011, nine international oil and gas companies formed the Subsea Well Response Project (SWRP), pooling resources to develop equipment that could enhance subsea well control capability. OSRL collaborated with SWRP to make this equipment available for the benefit of wider industry, and companies can now subscribe to SWIS to incorporate this essential subsea well contingency into their own incident response plans.
Robert Limb, Chief Executive of Oil Spill Response Limited, said: "SWIS represents a transformational addition to OSRL's portfolio of services, helping our members prepare for, and handle, potential subsea well control incidents on a global scale. Members benefit from world-class capping capability, supported by OSRL's industry-leading response and preparedness expertise. Our new facility at Saldanha has strategic significance in that we are now able to deliver an enhanced service in this region - a development that is wholly consistent with our mission to enable the most efficient, safe and effective response to oil spills wherever they may occur."
Keith Lewis, Project Manager, Subsea Well Response Project, commented: "The oil and gas industry faces continuous challenge to improve safety and must be in a position to respond effectively to a subsea well incident, wherever in the world subsea well operations take place. The delivery of world-class intervention equipment to Saldanha represents a major advancement for the region. As part of a package of measures, it is designed to enhance the international industry's capability to respond to a subsea well incident. Collaboration across the industry and around the world has made this possible."
Michael Engell-Jensen, Executive Director, International Association of Oil and Gas Producers, who attended OSRL's inauguration event at Saldanha Bay, added: "The industry must be prepared to control a flowing well with ever greater speed and efficiency in the unlikely event of an incident. The continuing collaboration between SWRP and OSRL to develop subsea well response capability through the provision of capping and related systems is of paramount importance both for the oil and gas industry and environmental protection."
