Welcome! The CSC Print Shop provides printing services to the faculty, staff and students of Chadron State College. The Print Shop is an offset and toner-based manufacturing facility located in the Burkhiser Technology Complex. It offers printing, design and production as well as finishing with a variety of processes.
We (Bruce and Craig) invite anyone on campus to come and visit with us about printing. Together we have about 30 years of experience in graphic design and print production. Our hope is that we can help you produce the product that will have the desired effect on whatever target audience you choose.
The Print Shop is open weekdays from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Completion of projects generally requires 10 days to two weeks depending on the size, number of colors, bindery processes and complexity of the project. The shop is geared toward specific specialties that include letterhead, business cards, carbonless forms, brochures, booklets and posters.
Because design is part of our job, just bring us your ideas! A sketch or typewritten blurb is a great start. The rough idea will help us understand what you have in mind and help you focus on what might still be needed to make the piece complete. Always keep a timeline in mind and work backward from the date of need. For example, the conference is in four weeks. I want people to have the flyer two weeks before the conference. The Print Shop needs two weeks to print the flyer. Therefore, I need to do my part right away.
If you can design your own work for us to print please keep in mind that the Print Shop uses a PDF-based workflow. It will help if you provide your information as a Portable Document Format file.
Whether you submit a complete document or just an idea, a proof will be sent to you via e-mail for any corrections and your approval. Please read the proof carefully before you sign it. You are taking responsibility for the content of the document. Please stop in and see us at any time during the design process.
Our production machines include two offset presses and two toner-based printers. Their general uses are listed below.
Business cards, envelopes and carbonless forms
Booklet signatures, long run color and forms
Short run color and black up to 12x18 inches
Proofs and miscellaneous projects
Our folder can fold paper in half, letterfold, Z fold and double parallel (in half and half again). It can also fold at a right angle to a previous fold. It can score and length perforate (straight lines only).
Other bindery operations performed by the Print Shop are stapling, spiral binding, comb binding and drilling.
Stapling is either flat or saddle. Spiral uses plastic for the binding medium. Comb binding is a process using plastic rings with a solid back. The paper drill is for calendar holes.
Padding is also available for memo pads or scratch/message pads.

(Reuters) – Starbucks Corp
The terms are changes to the five-year agreement the two companies reached last year that tripled the number of Starbucks drinks sold in K-Cups, adding Seattle's Best and Torrefazione Italia coffees, Teavana teas and Starbucks cocoa.
Under terms of the 2013 deal, which replaced their first agreement in 2011, Starbucks kept the exclusive rights to be the licensed "super-premium coffee" brand on the Keurig K-Cup platforms.
The Keurig machine popularized the use of pods, small packets containing everything from coffee, tea or hot chocolate powder, for easy, in-home, one-cup brewing of hot drinks.
The company has sold more than 30 million Keurig machines around the world for use in homes, offices and other locations.

The United Auto Workers and the Big Three Automakers will not reach a contract agreement before the midnight deadline Sunday night. Instead, both sides will continue talks until a new contract is reached. Negotiations have been ongoing for nearly two months. The current contract expires at midnight Sunday night.
But by 9 p.m. Sunday, local union leaders told News Ten that an agreement was unlikely before then.
Nationally, the contract will affect more than 300,000 UAW members. Key issues include wages, health care and pension benefits, as well as job-loss and the closing of plants. Industry analysts say the union is not negotiating from as strong a place as during the last negotiations in 1999. During that time, car sales were booming, but now, sales are down.
Local union leaders say they expect negotiations to continue. Members at local 602 voted by more than 95-percent to support a strike.

World-Class Care Brings Grand Forks Patient to Bemidji
"I've got nothing but praise for that place," said David Sage, of his experiences as a patient at Sanford Bemidji. "I can't say enough good about the doctors and staff and how I was treated there. I have great pride in what they did for me, and a special place in my heart for that hospital and those people."
Sage, 59, of Grand Forks, lived in Bemidji for nearly four months last year while he was being treated for a rare, often fatal, form of cancer. Still cancer-free since he finished his treatment in August 2013, Sage continues to regularly drive to Bemidji from his Grand Forks home for follow up with Dr. Mitchell Marion, the Sanford Otolaryngologist, an ear, nose and throat specialist, who diagnosed his condition.
"Sanford was there all the way through for me and they are staying on top of it now," Sage said.
Choosing Dr. Marion was his first good decision, Sage said. A chronic discomfort in the area of his mouth and throat had troubled him. But when he had asked medical providers about it, they'd dismissed his concern. Sage persisted, doing his own research at a medical library. His findings convinced him that Dr. Marion was the best ear, nose and throat specialist in the region and so he made an appointment.
Dr. Marion listened carefully to Sage's concerns and then took samples from his mouth and throat for a biopsy. The results confirmed that Sage had squamous cell carcinoma of the buccal mucosa, the same type of oral cavity cancer that had led to his mother's death in 1997. Sage's cancer was located in his mouth and neck.
He began an aggressive treatment regimen that included two surgeries and several weeks of simultaneous chemotherapy and radiation treatments. Dr. John Bollinger, Sanford Radiation Oncologist, motivated him to keep going, Sage said.
"He and Dr. Marion are a fabulous team and I'm lucky to have had them," Sage said.
Besides their impressive medical skills, Sanford providers' heartfelt compassion and personal interest really touched him. They always greeted him with a smile, answered his concerns and went the extra mile.
Most of all, Sage is thankful to God. He's glad to be back home with his wife, Diane, who stayed with him in Bemidji and who continues to support him in recovery. He is deeply appreciative of life's little joys – like fishing again with his wife.
Generous donors to the Sanford Bemidji Cancer Center ensure patients throughout the region have access to the latest in diagnostics and treatments and specialists for cancer.

Born: 08/21/1956
Birth Place: Widnes, England, GB
Born outside of Liverpool, England, on Aug. 21, 1956, Cattrall and her family moved to Vancouver, Canada, before she was a year old. Her parents added two more kids to the family (for a total of four) by the time the Cattrall clan returned to England to be near an ailing grandmother. The 11-year-old saw her first play, Oscar Wilde's "The Importance of Being Earnest," on London's famed West End and decided then and there to become an actress. She took drama courses at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts and around this time, debuted in regional theater. When Cattrall returned to Canada at the age of 16, she continued her studies at the Banff School of Fine Arts, and upon graduating ... Continue Bio >>

Scientists from the Tsuji Lab Research Institute for Science and Technology at Tokyo University of Science believe they may have discovered the cure for baldness that has long baffled experts (and 7m follically-challenged men) – and it's all down to this tuft of hair that has sprouted from a bald mouse.
Japanese researchers investigated whether stem cells could create pigmented hair follicles by testing on a group of bald-bred lab mice.
Scientists started by growing two different types of skin stem cells until they began to grow immature hair follicles and then implanted them into the mice.
Within three weeks, the mice began to sprout tufts of hair. Scientists later used the same stem cell technique to grow whiskers.
More significantly, scientists also used human stem cells (obtained from the scalp of a balding male) during the study, and had the same result as when they used stem cells from mice.
The research team hope their positive findings could lead to effective baldness treatment on humans in as little as three years.
"We expect that our technologies will help to restore colour to grey hair. We think that the person's natural colour will be reproduced by our technology in the future," a spokesperson from the study said in a statement.
This breakthrough follows a separate study by the University of Pennsylvania, which claimed to have found the root of the problem that causes baldness – and a way to treat it.
After analysing the potential biological causes of male baldness, scientists discovered high levels of a key protein, called prostaglandin D synthase (PDG2), present in bald areas of the scalp. This protein was not located in any 'hairier' areas on the body.
Drugs designed to block PGD2 have already been created to treat asthma, but scientists are hoping that they could be used to treat male baldness within the next five years.

Buggy Data
Crawlies vs Livestock: How much can you eat?
In this comparative table of the edible percentages of meat for each animal, it's clear that insects produce less waste - we throw away three-quarters of a chicken, but can eat the same percentage of a locust.
Insects also win on the "conversion factor" or ratio of feed ingested by the animal to the meat produced by it - known as ECI. Beef cattle has an ECI rate of ten; the cockroach triumphs with 44.

You're on a good way. I'll guess the terrain was imported as a heightmap? More please
Ok, I want to make some maps in 3D and stumbled upon World Machine. Great program, "easy" to learn and hard to master. Second project is Vue 10. Here is my progress so far
I would love to hear your comments. This isn´t about realism, basic idea is to create maps.
P.S.: Terrain is done in WM2, water in first map PS, and rendering in Vue 10.5 PLE
Last edited by Troedel; 09-12-2012 at 06:47 AM. Reason: clarification
You're on a good way. I'll guess the terrain was imported as a heightmap? More please
Ok, I advanced a bit expanding my territory. The spikes seem to be hickups in the procedurals. Can´t spot them in the terrain file (pov tga), need to get that cleared out. Here is a 4000x4000px render, perhaps a bit over the top, I wanted to see how it looks. It took about 1 hour.
Edit: Removed the spikes in PS. Couldn´t stand them
Looks pretty good so far ! It might be me because I often have trouble with this but the water seems to rise above the land. The shadow seems extreme also. But as I said it might just be me. Also there is a evident horizontal pattern in the hills in the North East . Good luck with your experiments I'll be asking for tips as it progresses!!
"Aye The skies be clear , the seas be calm and the winds be with us .....
ARGH!! but the damn compass be broken!! "
Capt. Noah Swalter Last voyage of the " Silver Crest"
You are right. It is a problem of scale in vue ( at least its a problem for me ) Importing the height map from world machine the relation terrain height to extends seem to get distorted. The mountains are far to high relating to the horizontal dimension. And being to high they cast large and hard shadows over to much area. If I scale the whole terrain up to 1000x1000km without touching height it gets very flat and I don´t get the materials in vue work very well. Looks all mushed up. Next thing I´ll try is to gently lower the height of the terrain in vue. I wished that the dimensions would stay correct. Perhaps someone has some experience with stuff like that. I googled very much but information is kind of thin on this area. I suppose the mentioned software can be used for projects like this but it is on the edge of their intention. It´s just me forcing my will to create a world designed in broad strokes with a procedural engine providing the wanted detail. We will see and every help is welcome.
Don't know WM, but I had they same problem in Wilbur (also not very good at it). I've used a tutorial Waldronate has posted recently and added an additional layer between coast and mountains. That worked fine, but it was just an experiment. I'll have to spend more time with it.
The reason the sea looks like it's above the land is because the lighting from the southwest. Traditionally, a shaded relief map has the light from the northwest, so when you see a map that does not follow that convention, the bevels will appear inverted unless and until you can reorient your eyes to view it properly.
It's a little annoying, actually, because a map of a northern hemisphere locale really should be lit from the south.
Bryan Ray, visual effects artist
Could you get rid of the spikes in photoshop before you move the height map into Vue? Perhaps a levels adjust to reduce the contrast on the highest points?
Mostly those spikes can be get rid of using slight varriations in the fractal generation inputs. Please don´t ask me about mathematics as I don´t know a bit about that. In my experiment there where two whcih I just erased using content aware fills. Worked like a charm in this case and was probably faster than anything else considering render and world building times. Got myself a copy of vue 10 and try to learn it right now. I will start with non mapping tutorials as those are plenty at geeksatplay studios and give a deeper understanding of the workings of vue. I´ll get back at the map the time my understanding of it all is a little better. THX for the comment on lighting. It´s all about what we are used to...

I have been reading a few threads and have been working with Zimbra for over a year now. I am about to implement a Zimbra NE server and they want to keep all mail as possible. Currently there are a few 6-9GB mailboxes in Exchange. Some of those users have a few 2GB PST's that would like to be imported. I plan to use the old mail management of the NE version to offload old mail onto cheap storage. The future looks like they will have 20GB+ mailboxes over the course of a few years.
Has anyone hit a point where the mailbox size has created an issue like it would in Exchange/Outlook? Outlook still seems to craw if the OST/PST is over 2GB even in Exchange/Outlook 2007.
If you have large mailboxes, please post up some examples and if they cause any issues.

UPPER MARLBORO, Md. (WUSA) -- You'd be hard pressed to find a high school student who doesn't use social media to connect to their friends and rack up followers. But an assistant principal at Wise High School is using a micro blogging site like no administrator we've ever seen -- and the students think he's pretty cool.
More than 1800 Wise High School students get a wake up call from their assistant principal, William Blake, on a regular basis.
High school senior Brittany Pegram told us, "You just want to see what he's talking about."
Senior Witney Perkins added, "It gets you energized, hyper, ready for the day."
Blake explains, "They are on Twitter 24-7. I wake up at 5:30, go workout, say good morning, and students are re-tweeting me already at 5:30 in the morning."
His Twitter handle is Pumasden, and more than half the school checks his tweets, videos and calls to action. He's a one man show, bursting with energy, enthusiasm and school spirit.
Blake also uses Twitter to solve student conflicts before they happen. One weekend, he saw a disagreement ramping up between two groups who were tweeting. He involved parents, administrators and by Monday morning, he had the students in his office to call them all down.
Blake told us, "The first thing they say is 'Mr. Blake how did you know?' 'I'm following you on Twitter.'"
His ability to connect with students on their level makes him pretty popular.
Principal Carletta Marrow said, "It's amazing how many students reach out to him and how many students say 'oh Mr. Blake, it's really helpful to keep that going.'"
Chances are you couldn't stop him if you tried, and the students wouldn't have it any other way.

Result of women's interview
Interviewer instructions
Complete this question once you have concluded the interview with the woman. Circle the code corresponding to the result of the interview. If the questionnaire is completed, circle '1' for 'Completed'. If you have not been able to contact the woman after repeated visits, circle '2' for 'Not at home'. If the woman refuses to be interviewed, circle '3' for 'Refused'. If you were able to only partly complete the questionnaire, circle '4' for 'Partly completed'. If the woman is incapacitated, circle '5'. If you have not been able to complete this questionnaire for another reason, you should circle '6' for 'Other' and specify the reason in the space provided. Make every attempt to carry out the woman's interview in privacy. Ask all other household members or anyone else who is present (including male members of the survey team) to leave in a courteous manner. If the respondent is a mother/caretaker, ask her to collect all the birth certificates and health/ immunization cards she has for her children or the children she cares for before you begin the interview. You will need these when you go on to interview her about her children under age five. Repeat greeting if not already read to this woman: "WE ARE FROM (country-specific affiliation). WE ARE WORKING ON A PROJECT CONCERNED WITH FAMILY HEALTH AND EDUCATION. I WOULD LIKE TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT THIS. THE INTERVIEW WILL TAKE ABOUT (number) MINUTES. ALL THE INFORMATION WE OBTAIN WILL REMAIN STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL AND YOUR ANSWERS WILL NEVER BE IDENTIFIED. ALSO, YOU ARE NOT OBLIGED TO ANSWER ANY QUESTION YOU DON'T WANT TO, AND YOU MAY WITHDRAW FROM THE INTERVIEW AT ANY TIME. MAY I START NOW?" As with the similar sentence at the beginning of the Household Questionnaire, you may change the wording of these introductory sentences as appropriate. You must make sure, however, to include the following when you are introducing yourself: The name of the implementing agency; the topic of the survey; approximate duration of the interview; the issue of confidentiality; and with whom you would like to speak. If permission is given, begin the interview. If the respondent does not agree to continue, thank her and go on to the next interview. Later, discuss the refusal with your supervisor; you or another person from the team may attempt to interview the woman for a second time. This will depend on your description of the refusal. However, remember that a woman's participation in the survey must be on a voluntary basis, and potential respondents must never be forced to participate.

LONDON (AP) — A coroner has ruled that a 23-year-old assistant to British artist David Hockney died when he drank acid after taking drugs and alcohol at the painter's home.
Dominic Elliott died after drinking a household drain cleaner made of sulphuric acid in March. A post-mortem examination showed that he had taken cocaine and other drugs before he died.
Hockney's former long-term partner, John Fitzherbert, earlier testified that he and Elliott had smoked cannabis and consumed alcohol at Hockney's house in northeastern England the day before the death.
The 75-year-old Hockney, one of Britain's best-known artists, said in a statement he was asleep at the time and didn't know what Fitzherbert and Elliott had been doing that day.
The coroner ruled Friday there were no suspicious circumstances in the death.

What a terrible idea! Who let you in here?
I have been wanting to make up a Steampunk style map myself for awhile. It could be a world map, or a city map, or whatever you like, so long as the theme is recognizably Steampunk.
Are you sure that map's not from the The Leviathan Series?
Awesome idea for a challenge, btw. I'm up for it.
Love this idea. Been wanted to punk up a map for some time but I don't have any ides yet
If I have spare time I'd probably challenge some steampunk map aswell

Las Vegas Race Report - GEICO Ford Fusion
Posted by: lori on Mar 11, 2013
Tagged in: Untagged
Las Vegas, NV (March 10, 2013) – A week ago, Casey Mears started in the rear of the field after qualifying 43rd and wowed a packed house at Phoenix International Raceway when he hustled all the way to the front and finished 14th. After practice and NASCAR Sprint Cup Series qualifying was rained out in Las Vegas on Friday, he would be afforded a similar opportunity when the field was set according to 2012 owner points. Mears and his #13 GEICO Ford Fusion would roll off from the 30th position when Sunday's Kobalt Tools 400 got underway.
Bright sunshine and a cloudless sky were the setting for 267 laps of racing on Sunday afternoon. Mears and his #13 GEICO Ford Fusion rolled off of the starting grid from the 30th position and hoped to make progress at a track where passing is sometimes a rarity. He immediately picked up positions and was eyeing the top 25 when he began reporting handling issues, finding himself with no rear or front grip.
By the time green flag pit stops began on lap 44, Mears and his #13 GEICO Fusion had settled their differences and he was solidly in the top 25. After visiting pit road for his scheduled green flag stop, he continued his effort to penetrate the front of the field. Mears strategy was playing out fine until lap 109 betrayed him with a heavy vibration that sent him down pit road under green to receive necessary attention. Leaving with four fresh tires and two laps down, the balance of the day would be spent trying to recover from the unfortunate setback. When the checkered flag was displayed, Mears was able to hustle back to a 29th place finish.
"This was a tough day, but the GEICO team worked hard and we were able to salvage an otherwise challenging day," Mears said. "We made progress all weekend and were looking forward to a great finish today, but we'll now look to Bristol. The guys have worked so hard and we're elevating our program and we're definitely knocking at the door."
Despite a tough afternoon at Las Vegas Motor Speedway, Mears still sits in the top 25 in driver points, just 6 points removed from the top 20.
Next week finds the GEICO team heading back east for a little short track racing at the World's Fastest Half-Mile.
Mears and the #13 GEICO Ford Fusion will hit the track at Bristol Motor Speedway for the opening practice session on Friday, March 15th, at 12:00 PM (EDT). Qualifying will follow at 3:40 PM (EDT).
The Food City 500 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race is on Sunday, March 17th, and it will be televised live on FOX beginning at 1:00 PM (EDT). The Performance Racing Network (PRN) will carry the live radio broadcast.

A fundamental and very well studied region of the Erdos-Renyi process is the phase transition at m near n/2 edges in which a giant component suddenly appears. We review the behavior in the barely subcritical and barely supercritical regimes. We modify the process, particularly discussing a modification due to Tom Bohman and Alan Frieze in which isolated vertices are given preference. While the position of the phase transition changes and many constants change, we show to a large extent (and conjecture the rest!) that the critical exponents remain the same and that the two processes belong to the same universality class. A key role is played by the susceptibility of the graph, a concept taken from theoretical physics with strong application to large finite graphs. The susceptibility, asymptotically, is shown to satisfy a differential equation from which its barely subcritical behavior may be deduced. We also discuss other natural processes which appear to have very different behavior.

Don't worry though, we have a lot more Women's Short Sleeve Road Bike Jerseys in stock than that.View Similar Products
De Marchi C+ Women's Jersey $0.00
The Contour Plus might just be the best women's-specific jersey that De Marchi's ever created. We say this because, after examining the specific fabric panels used to build the jersey, we see exactly where the 'contour' in the C+ name originates. Each of the four materials chosen for the jersey were cut on a curve in order to replicate the female's body while in the cycling position. We always knew attention to fit details weren't to be taken lightly with the Italian designers, and the De Marchi C+ is certainly no exception.
For the C+ Jersey, De Marchi chose to use two specific fabrics and mesh materials for its makeup. For the jersey's front panel, Dry3 Titanium fabric was used for its excellent moisture management properties. In addition to being a highly stretchable fabric, Dry3 Titanium pulls moisture away from your skin to the outer-layer where, according to De Marchi, it then evaporates three times faster than a conventional polyester fiber. We're inclined to believe them, as De Marchi's fabrics have continually proven to be some of quickest-drying that we've experienced. This particular version of the its Dry3 also incorporates a Titanium dioxide treatment for effective action against odor.
Moving to the jersey's sleeves and side panels, De Marchi added its Dry3 Pro material for its smooth and flexible feel. Gel prints were added to these panels in order to provide a lightly compressive hold on the shoulder and oblique muscles. This fabric, combined with underarm mesh vents, is also very lightweight and breathable, making it the perfect choice for these areas where body heat and perspiration tend to collect in high concentrations. This leads us to the back of the C+ Jersey, where De Marchi focused further on breathability by adding a central panel of Dry3D Mesh. Stretching from the top of the center rear pocket, and fanning outward to the backs of the shoulders, this Mesh insert provides you with the ultimate in ventilation and comfort by targeting another torso zone notorious for moisture collection.
De Marchi focused equally on implementing technical fabrics into the C+ as it did refining the jersey's fit. The goal of the new C+ was, after all, to create a jersey that combines a maximum freedom of movement with the most breathable, lightweight materials available. This contoured fit was made possible using the De Marchi's Body Framing Technology as a means to stabilize the jersey while in the cycling position. This is accomplished using pre-shaped fabric panels that closely follow the body while in motion. And when sewn together, these panels form somewhat of a three dimensional shape on their own, mimicking the body before even reaching your shoulders. The result is a jersey that eliminates all unnecessary material, leading to the best possible fit.
Equally valued by De Marchi are its finishing details. The C+ jersey is no exception, with its fully divisible front zipper with soft chin protection, four rear panel pockets (one of which is zippered for phone or keys), and oversized high visibility reflective stripes. Small, square De Marchi logos tastefully adorn the jersey's front and rear as well.
The De Marchi C+ Women's Jersey is available in five sizes from X-Small to X-Large and in the colors Black, Orange, and White. Please note: De Marchi relies heavily on European sizing, so please make your selection accordingly.

I love my Demarchi bibs. High quality & comfort compared with other lines. I like these as well as giordana. I'd put these above LG, pearli, castelli, sugoi, mavic. The fit is about like others. The feel has been incredible. Most comfy.
Thanks! I love the G's F.R.C. line up, and was wondering how these compared.

Date: Nov 3rd, 2012
Live at the Library will feature musician Paul Imholte at Rum River Library, Saturday, November 3rd at 2:00 pm. This program is free and open to the public, but seating may be limited.
Paul received his designation as "The Musical Stringman" through his mastering of string instruments and incorporating nearly a dozen string instruments into his performances and recordings.
"As a former piano teacher, I know it's hard enough to master one instrument, let alone twelve!" said Anoka County Commissioner Carol LeDoux. "This program is certain to be educational and amazing."
Paul's featured instrument is the hammered dulcimer, an ancient string instrument from the Middle East. In addition, Paul performs with the fiddle, guitar, banjo, mandolin, viola, cello, harmonica, jaw harp, auto harp, and spoons. Audience members can try their hand at playing a variety of instruments.
"String instruments can produce an amazing variety of music," said Library Board President Bob Thistle. "Learn more about these instruments while enjoying the show."
Paul Imholte is presented by GL Berg and Anoka County Library in partnership with MELSA (Metropolitan Library Service Agency). This program funded with money from Minnesota's Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund.
Rum River Library is located at 4201 6th Avenue in Anoka. For more information call 763-576-4695.

Garlic for 2013 Harvest
One hundred cloves of hard neck garlic was planted. Depth is two inches to the base of the clove and spacing is eight inches centre to centre. The clove is simply pushed firmly into the planting area. The bed was covered with about four inches of wood chip mulch to inhibit soil drying from Sun evaporation.The leaves have no difficulty pushing through the mulch. The bed will require no care until harvest in July 2013.Only good shaped and large cloves were selected, but previous experience indicated that even small cloves produce quality garlic the same size as the larger cloves.

Garlic bed was prepared for the 2012 planting or July,2013 harvest. The bed was enclosed about 7 by 8 feet.Garlic cloves will be planted later in the month of October. A layer of compost(the fertilizer) was added and rototilled into the underlying soil.A new area is selected each year.

Lufthansa Highlights Leipzig: "A lively tour of Leipzig"
It's half past seven in the evening and I'm walking around downtown. Doing the "lipsi step." You've never heard of it? Left foot left, right foot left tap, feet together. It was invented here in Leipzig in the 1950s. An East German attempt to combat the twist. Only it never caught on.
Cobblestones. Cold, round streetlamps. Children in hoods. Matching shoes and scarves; stretch jeans tucked into boot tops. Married couples dining out, enjoying traditional food. Brightly lit windows in old facades, a scent of vanilla wafting from a tea shop. Postcard stands being brought inside. An accordionist plays the Turkish Rondo one last time. Something reminds you of a fairy tale by Wilhelm Hauff. The Pinguin milk bar (Katharinenstrasse 4) is where I polished off my very first ice cream sundae as a kid. On a cold day, you can get a hot milk here for 1.60 euros.
The marketplace - a work in progress for years. This is where Woyzeck the wigmaker was decapitated in 1824 for stabbing and killing his mistress in a fit of jealousy. His story inspired Georg Büchner. A snowflake touches my lip. It's time for hot chocolate at the World Coffee shop in Hugendubel's bookstore (Petersstrasse 12-13). Second floor, past Religion, past Philosophy, down at the end by Vehicles and Hobbies. They say it's the place to meet people in Leipzig, but I don't see my type. Did anyone ever write a song about the air in Leipzig? Like the famous one about Berlin? Not that I know of. You can see the air on cold nights like this, when your breath comes out as steam. But it's nicer to know what's in it. A toxic whiff of Bitterfeld, a strain of Bach. The soft breath of peaceful revolution, the sweat of one-time Young Pioneers; Walter Ulbricht's shrill voice and Schiller's "Ode to Joy," which he wrote here.
On Neumarkt, you can hear the bells of St. Nicholas and St. Thomas chime in harmony. Prayers for peace in one church ushered in political change in the late 1980s; Marx and Engels stood godfather to Karl Liebknecht in the other. Bach's Mass in B Minor is playing at St. Thomas's tonight, but right now I need something to eat. I head for my favorite Korean restaurant, the Kim in Strohsackpassage (Nikolaistr. 6–10).
Not quite cosmopolitan, Leipzig is a world in itself. Maybe you have to leave and come back again to see what normally only tourists appreciate. I left a teenager and returned at 40. To me, Leipzig is a blend of childhood memories and new discoveries, of high-gloss capitalism still tarred in places with the old socialist brush. Forget pigeon-dropping-covered sentimentality and the faltering East German upswing, forget "Dona Nobis Pacem" and the local anthem "Sing, mein Sachse, sing.
Being home is about rituals, too. When I eat Korean, I always order the same things: bulgogi (strips of spiced beef fried at the table) with kimchi (Chinese cabbage in a sour marinade) and hot sake (rice wine). The restaurant is no sight for sore eyes – the location is a shopping mall, the decor standard Asian – but Kim's food is excellent and you never bump into the usual suspects because they're busy hanging out at the Barcelona or the Sol Y Mar on trendy Gottschedstrasse.
It takes just a couple of dozen steps to cross the center of Leipzig. Passage, my favorite movie theater, isn't far away either (Hainstrasse 19a). The cozy seats in the back rows of its biggest auditorium, the Astoria, are a great place to smooch.
After the movie, I suggest taking a romantic Twenty Years Since the Fall of the Wall nighttime stroll down Hainstrasse (where the novelist Theodor Fontane worked as an apothecary's apprentice), then left past the Galeria Kaufhof department store on your right, past the pedestrian zone and the construction site where they're rebuilding the University Church, and down between Mendebrunnen and Gewandhaus toward the main post office. Leipzig, city of heroes and music, book fair city, mother of the New Leipzig School, a state of mind, an attitude, a home of sorts.
Time for one last drink. Either a Miss Marple, a non-alcoholic cocktail, at Sonder Bar, or a drop of the hard stuff at First Whisk(e)y Bar, where they have 150 different whiskeys (both bars, Strohsackpassage, Nikolaistr. 6-10). I go for a glass of Lagavulin, a 16-year-old single malt that smells of peat and algae and tastes like burnt cable – not for wimps! I rarely go dancing, and only under protest. But after a second dram of Lagavulin I feel the burning heat of youthfulness and head out through the night, past drunks and straight through a group of punks and adventure-hungry tourists to the greater Barfussgässchen area, humorously referred to as Drallewatsch (an old Saxon word for "having fun" or "going out for a dance"). Along the way, I wonder, fiery-breathed, where all the passages – Mädler, Strohsack, Messehof - lead. And all those modernized old buildings? Who lives there?
The basement at Spizz (Markt 9), across from the old town hall, is always jammed after one in the morning and there's usually something going on – Jazz Funk Disco or Piano Boogie Night – on the little stage above which wind instruments hang from the ceiling. Admission is free. Left foot left, right foot tap... The lipsi step never caught on but Leipzig is getting ready for the big time.

Chris Hedges examines the failure of the liberal class to confront the rise of the corporate state and the consequences of a liberalism that has become profoundly bankrupted. Hedges argues that there are five pillars of the liberal establishment and that each of these institutions has sold out the constituents it represented. In doing so, the liberal class has become irrelevant to society at large and ultimately the corporate power elite they once served.
"Insightful.... [Hedges] is an engaging writer, and his passion alone makes for a compelling read.... Offers those of us who dare to refer to ourselves as liberal a lot to think about." (Harvard Political Review)
©2010 Chris Hedges (P)2010 Dreamscape Media, LLC
"Devastating analysis....."
This book is absolutely essential listening. Having said that, one must understand that it presents a remarkably pessimistic picture of where we (the U.S.) is right now and how we came to be there. It is a picture I find myself increasingly sharing (although I wish I didn't), but one that a lot of readers (and listeners) will find just TOO bleakly devastating. This is not, in and of itself, a bad thing, since Hedges's points are very well made, and if you disagree, you'll find that having to argue against those points will probably make you smarter. Since one of Hedges's points is that one of the main problems with our "culture" is massive--and quite deliberately engendered--historical ignorance and intellectual vapidity, this can't be bad.
If you happen to be one of the enemy (and Hedges has no problem at all utilizing categories like "enemy," for sound reasons he makes very clear), you will be just too f-cking stupid to be able to get through the first twenty minutes.....
"Integrity-Can You Tell Me Where It's Gone?"
Plato said that opinion is just the medium between ignorance and knowledge. For a while, I was almost singularly passionate about educating myself regarding politics - gaining knowledge - then I plum ran out of mental energy, and returned to the easy comfort of just having an opinion. Familiar with Truthdig, and having read War Is A Force...so many yrs. ago I've forgotten most of the content, I thought maybe Death of the Liberal Class might get me back into the quest. While I'll never be truly politically savvy, reading Death of the Liberal Class was my own little "intellectual effort" to move my opinion towards knowledge.
Call Hedges cynical, pessimistic, a bleak alarmist, whatever...but reasonably, you'd better add honest, passionate, globally intelligent, and a patriot. Yes, you can be "disobedient" and be a patriot. Howard Zinn wrote, "Historically, the most terrible things - war, genocide, and slavery- have resulted not from disobedience, but from obedience."
Admittedly, this is a blood-boiling and sobering book, not fun to hear (quoting Hamilton's too-little-too-late Requiem for a Species...that's depressing stuff. At one point in "Camelot," Merlin says to King Arthur, "The uglier the truth, the truer the friend that tells it." a good reference point.) I don't agree with all of Hedges statements (perhaps I should, he is much more knowledgeable than I'll ever be), some of the long pieces of history are already well known therefore not as interesting as the rest of the book, and the structure was sometimes tangled, (and I wish I would have known enough to have read Empire of Illusion first) but Hedges tells it like it is and backs up his words with the facts in a way that any level of pilgrim can understand. Far far and beyond any person's criticisms and political alignments, this is important information that is crucial for our future; fantastic research, brave thesis, and impossible to ignore.
"A bitter pill"
This was an informative read about how we've ended up where we are right now politically, socially, economically, et al. It put facts to things I've felt over the last several years and filled out information that I was aware of, but not at this depth. It's not a warm fuzzy book, I don't agree with everything (tho' most) that he says, but if it helps wake up a few more people, I think it will have served its purpose. I wonder what Mr. Hedges' thoughts are on the Occupy Wall Street movement. I am more hopeful than he is, but damn! Makes me wonder if our grandkids will be spitting on our graves! Yup, highly recommended - just don't expect "light" listening here.
Chris Hedges possesses one of the most unforgiving and challenging voices of any writer I've consistently read and listened to. This is one of his finest books, as always blessedly free of BS and to the point. I'm convinced he writes with a sharpened baseball bat.
The above review by David is everything I could have hoped to say about such an insightful, heartfelt and honest book, so I'll just finish by saying... Get this. It's worth every penny/credit and then some.
"Intense & sobering, I couldn't stop."
Excellent historical references and perspective. Puts so many things of I was aware into a deeper, more complete context. Well researched and devastating work.
This is the kind of writing from which philosophies are born.
"A very important book for our time."
Hedges has outdone himself again...this is an important work in the contemporary intellectual scene.
"justice. empathy."
Justice is a radical at empathy is a radical act. Through justice and empathy we stay alive!
"Necessary reading for progressives"
This book was engaging and at times, enraging. It both complimented other books and arguments with which I'm familiar and broadened my understanding of the diminution of liberal institutions in the United States.
"Important book for our time"
This book is the first in a long time to capture and support my sense of what is unfolding in our world. I feel mobilized and motivated by its message. It has been and the important read for me; a turning point.
"An excellent, though unsettling political work"
Chris Hedges makes a remarkable case for the pessimistic side of liberal thought: the establishment has won, and the corporate state has co-opted the institutions which once would have defended the public from its abuses. Education, Art, and the media have all sold out for the privilege of inclusion into the emerging corporate oligarchy. This is a book that all liberals, or anyone who believes in freedom and justice should experience. Even if Hedges' larger point is wrong, the picture he paints of contemporary liberalism is one that needs to be evaluated. 10/10

Sweetwater is underwater on land deal
Property purchased by school district for $28.8 million is worth far less
What began eight years ago as a deal to develop a new administration complex for Sweetwater schools has cost the district $40 million, with no new district headquarters in sight.
Under its unusual financing, Sweetwater now owes $33 million on property it bought for $28.8 million. And today, the 23 acres of offices and warehouses on L Street are worth as little as $10.6 million.
The district's leader, Edward Brand, proposed the land deal in 2005 during his first tenure as superintendent and still faces its repercussions since returning to the job in June 2011.
The Sweetwater Union High School District serves southwest San Diego County, where every dollar of education funds counts. Per capita income is well below that of the region as a whole, and almost half of the 42,000 students qualify for free and reduced-cost meals.
So when Brand committed tens of millions of dollars to a new administration complex last decade, then resigned months later, parents and teachers were flummoxed and angry. Years later, Brand's successor was indicted on bribery charges.
Now Brand is back at the helm of Sweetwater schools, and the situation at the troubled L Street project is proving more intractable than ever.
"It's a Gordian knot," said Kevin O'Neill of the district's bond oversight committee. "No matter what they do with L Street, they are going to take a haircut. And they are going to get sued."
The agreement from February 2005 called for the district to assign the property to a little-known charity, then lease it back. The same day, the nonprofit California Trust for Public Schools assigned its rights to Plan Nine Partners, a private company.
Sweetwater was supposed to develop homes, shops and offices on its Third Avenue property, then swap it for L Street, where an administration center, adult school and corporation yard were to be built. Then it would use the profit to pay off its bonds.
"This project generates its own wealth," Sweetwater official Bruce Husson wrote in late 2004.
Brand said the idea was to develop the property in two or three years. "In 2004, 2005 real estate was going through the roof," he said. "This was a way for us to secure the property."
After refinancing the bonds multiple times, the district is facing its next balloon payment in July 2014. Meanwhile, Sweetwater slashed funding for its popular vocational training and adult education programs earlier this year as a way to help balance next year's budget.
A different era
When the administration complex and bus yard opened on Fifth Avenue in the early 1950s, it was designed for a district with six schools and 6,500 students. By the 2004-05 school year, 40,000 students were enrolled at 22 campuses.
One early version of the development plan had the new headquarters priced at $122 million, with the offices, adult school and school-bus lot each costing about one-third of that total.
Administrators expected Chula Vista to chip in up to $83 million in city redevelopment money for construction, an assumption city officials never embraced.
Chula Vista planners and consultants wrote memos warning about lack of detail and excessive cost.
"The district is not yet sure of the revenue it will receive or the costs of development, but seeks certainty that the city will bear the risk of the need for additional revenue to complete the district's transaction," a March 2005 memo stated.
Two months later, Brand announced he was leaving Sweetwater after 10 years to manage the San Marcos Unified School District.
Brand's longtime assistant, Husson, stepped in on an interim basis. Then in August 2006, the Sweetwater board hired Jesus Gandara from a small district in Texas.

Toni Nadal lambasted the Parisian crown at Roland Garros during an interview with Spanish radio station Cadena Ser.
The uncle + coach of top baller Rafael Nadal was none too pleased to hear how little the Parisian crowd was supporting the 4-time defending champion:
In an interview with the Spanish radio station Cadena Ser, Toni Nadal said there was some truth to the phrase: "There is only one set of supporters that is worse than the French and that is the Parisians."
"They say it themselves and it's true, the Parisian crowd is pretty stupid. I think the French don't like it when a Spaniard wins," he added. "Wanting someone to lose is a slightly conceited way of amusing yourself. They show the stupidity of people who think themselves superior."
Rafa had made mention of the crowd's waning support in his post-match presser after the loss saying,
Maybe at one stage they supported Soderling more than me, and that was a bit sad.
But I wish when I'm back they can support me a bit more in key moments.
Boy, Uncle Toni just ripped them a new one - a deservedly so. I understand getting excited for the underdog but you can also support the 4-time defending champ.
It's not a one way street people...it's about appreciating great tennis.

Does anybody else feel blindsided by Gov Sandervals appointment to the wildlife board of an hsus member?
Does anybody else feel blindsided by Gov Sandervals appointment to the wildlife board of an hsus member?
It happened in California, it could happen anywhere.
No one is safe, we will be very lucky to be hunting 50 years from now. Half that if things don't go our way, shame on anyone that doesn't vote Republican Red in 2 weeks.
I got a flier from a canidate in my home state of Alaska a couple days ago, and I called and talked to someone on their staff, as I was concerned that they weren't a hunter.
So I voted for the other Republican canidate that was, regardless of their experience.
Everyone owes it to their kids and their hunting bretheran to vote correctly, and promote who you are going to vote for.
Romney may not be a hunter, but Ryan is.
Not really. Nothing surprises me with politics anymore. Anti's have infected every level of government in every state.
It looks like Nevada has a nine member board (Alaska has seven). Your new appointment is only one vote. With luck, if the other eight board members are good, they can positively influence the other one and teach him/her how important hunting is to wildlife management. Showing and teaching good management practices and wildlife stewardship can be invaluable to our side of the issues. This may prove not to be all bad. I've seen it work out okay up here.
Here's a little info about her off of ndow
Dr. Karen Layne currently serves as president of the Las Vegas Valley Humane Society. She is retired from both UNLV, where she was an assistant professor in the Public Administration Department, and the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department where she was the Director of Planning.
Dr. Layne holds a Doctorate of Public Administration from the University of Southern California, an M.A. in Government from George Washington University and a B.A. in Political Science from the University of Richmond, Virginia. She was appointed to the Nevada Board of Wildlife Commissioners to represent the general public.
She is obviously a highly educated person. Let's hope that she will use that education to look at the science behind the wildlife management issues and put trust in Nevada's wildlife department to present the facts without bias. Too often these boards are presented "science" that is tainted by political agendas and radicalism. If she can stay open minded to true wildlife management based in science, hopefully she'll do fine and learn a lot in the process. Keep your fingers crossed.
The Humane Society as in the "pound" is completely different then HSUS which is a radical anti hunting group. Which is she from?
The hsus must disappear for us to continue!

SLATER, Mo. (AP) -- A taxidermy studio in Slater, Mo. has been very busy not only preserving wild game, but also family pets.
Anthony Eddy of Anthony Eddy's Wildlife Studio says his business is one of the few in the country that specializes in pets, and has a two-month waiting list to preserve our four-legged friends.
According to Eddy, the studio charges $850 for pets under 10 pounds and $40 for each additional pound.

When I was six years old, my father Martin Demaine and I designed and made puzzles as the Erik and Dad Puzzle Company, which distributed to toy stores across Canada. So began our journey into the interactions between algorithms and the arts (here, puzzle design). More and more, we find that our mathematical research and artistic projects converge, with the artistic side inspiring the mathematical side and vice versa. Mathematics itself is an art form, and through other media such as sculpture, puzzles, and magic, the beauty of mathematics can be brought to a wider audience. These artistic endeavors also provide us with deeper insights into the underlying mathematics, by providing physical realizations of objects under consideration, by pointing to interesting special cases and directions to explore, and by suggesting new problems to solve (such as the metapuzzle of how to solve a puzzle). This talk will give several examples in each category, from how our first font design led to a universality result in hinged dissections, to how studying curved creases in origami led to sculptures at MoMA. The audience will be expected to participate in some live magic demonstrations.
