Dell Computers have today announced a partnership with Linkin Park, in which consumers will be able to purchase a Dell Computer with Pre-Installed Open Labs software featuring custom-made sounds from Linkin Park. The Open Labs package will also be available to purchase on the Dell website. View some excerpts from the press release below and follow the link to the Wall Street Journal for the full statement.
--Dell's Linkin Park Edition -- available immediately -- celebrates Linkin Park's new album LIVING THINGS by combining exclusive Linkin Park sounds, Open Labs Music OS and Dell personal computers.
Today Dell announced it is teaming up with music software provider Open Labs, LLC and award-winning rock band Linkin Park to offer Open Labs Music OS 3.0 software for download on dell.com and on select Dell products, including a limited availability music solution called the Linkin Park Edition.
To celebrate the upcoming release of Linkin Park's new album LIVING THINGS, Dell is offering a special limited time music solution called the Linkin Park Edition available immediately. It features exclusive, custom-made Linkin Park Sounds, Open Labs Music OS software, and high performance Dell laptops and All in One devices. Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park said, "Technology is at the core of our music creation process. As technology expands, so do the possibilities for creativity. We are excited to partner with Dell to issue an exclusive Linkin Park Edition Music OS package that blends Dell technology and Open Labs music creation software. The combination of Dell's powerful computing, along with Music OS's seamless software will be an invaluable tool on our upcoming world tour, as we gear up to release our new album, LIVING THINGS, on June 26."
Update: Mike Corley (mcorley) from the Open Labs Technical Support Department registered here at LPA to provide us with more information and an insight into what we can expect from this new Software. He said:
What we have is a very powerful line of Dell laptops and all-in-one PC's, powered by Open Labs Music OS, our ground breaking live performance and light duty DAW. Linkin Park has been absolutely fantastic to work with, and have provided us with over 200 original sounds and loops, created by the band, as well as an exclusive demo song for Music OS.
These sounds are just the beginning, and new sounds from LP will be released over the next year on a regular basis.
So, this is much more than a Linkin Park themed PC. This is LP partnering with companies who can put the tools to make music directly in your hands.Click HERE for a video that demonstrates just what Music OS is.I took a screen shot of Music OS open and the LP demo song loaded. It's all loops from the band, using our included VST. Free for you to mix and remix, chop fold and manipulate.
It's called "Bruiser". It's pretty loud, has a definite dubstep influence, and give a good starting point to your interactions with Music OS.

I've been challenged. Finally, a way to but Solly in his place that shouldn't hurt his feelings too badly.
But first things first:
a) Do you know how to play?
- I've only been on that site for about 15 minute but two kids quit on me. One because he couldn't play for shit and the other because, (and I quote), "im good prof. you no good student". I felt lucky when the third played out the whole duel although he cheated me.
-I know how to play. Like 'I could judge' know how to play.
-That site sucks. Ballz.
b) Anyone else want some?

In re:
JERRY GUY OWEN and Case No. 11-20141
REBECCA DIANE OWEN, Chapter 13
JERRY GUY OWEN and
v. Adv. No. 11-6139
Both parties made representations to the Court concerning Defendant U.S. Bank's
mortgage lien position against Debtors' homestead. The representations, which indicated U.S.
Bank held a junior lien position, are now alleged to be incorrect. An agreed order was entered
based on the parties' misinformation. U.S. Bank now seeks to vacate the agreed order while
Debtors seek to invalidate U.S. Bank's mortgage as being a wholly unsecured second mortgage

lien against their homestead. Plaintiffs' motion for summary judgment is denied because they
have not sustained their burden to show there is no genuine issue of material fact.
Debtors filed a voluntary Chapter 13 petition and plan on January 21, 2011. Debtors
scheduled an exempt homestead with a value of $176,000. Debtors scheduled a "First
Mortgage" incurred "11/2003" in the amount of $212,000 in favor of Wells Fargo Financial.
Debtors also scheduled a "Second Mortgage" incurred "11/2003" in the amount of $29,000 in
favor of U.S. Bank.1 Debtors' plan proposed to avoid U.S. Bank's lien and to pay Wells Fargo
directly on its secured lien.2 On March 17, 2011, U.S. Bank objected to Debtors' plan, alleging
it violated §1325(a)(5)(B)(i) and (ii) and §1322(b)(2).3 On April 19, Debtors filed an adversary
proceeding to avoid U.S. Bank's lien. The complaint is based on Debtors' allegation "US
Bank's Deed of Trust [sic] is junior to a Deed of Trust [sic] on the same real estate held by Wells
Fargo Financial."4 On April 26, Debtors and U.S. Bank submitted an Agreed Order Resolving
Secured Creditor's Objection to Confirmation of Chapter 13 Plan and Adversary Complaint.
The Agreed Order provides U.S. Bank's "second mortgage" will become void upon Debtors'
successful completion of their plan and entry of a discharge order.5 On May 4, Debtors' plan
was confirmed by separate order.
On June 1, U.S. Bank moved to vacate the Agreed Order because it had evidence its lien
was prior in time to Wells Fargo's lien. At the time of the Agreed Order, the parties believed

Case 11-06139 Doc# 16 Filed 03/15/12 Page 2 of 9
U.S. Bank's lien was junior to Wells Fargo's lien. U.S. Bank alleges "The exact facts of the
reduction of US Bank Line of Credit with the proceeds of the Wells Fargo loan were unavailable
at the time of the Order, and have only recently come to light."6
Findings of Fact
The parties submitted stipulated facts. On November 24, 2003, Debtors executed a
promissory note for $29,000.00 in favor of U.S. Bank. U.S. Bank's note is a home equity line of
credit with a 15-year draw period. With the note, Debtors also executed a home mortgage. The
mortgage was filed with the records and tax administration on March 16, 2004. On
September 18, 2007, Debtors executed a promissory note and mortgage for $213,513.83 in favor
of Wells Fargo. The mortgage was filed with the records and tax administration on
September 28, 2007, three and a half years after U.S. Bank's lien was recorded. U.S. Bank
received $27,818.00 from Wells Fargo on September 22, 2007, reducing the balance remaining
on U.S. Bank's note to zero and leaving a surplus of $500.00 which was refunded to Debtors.
Debtors did not request U.S. Bank close the home equity line of credit, and Debtors continued to
draw on the line. U.S. Bank did not release its lien. On the petition date, Debtors owed U.S.
Bank $29,417.00.
The parties stipulate they both believed U.S. Bank's lien was junior to Wells Fargo's at
the time they entered the Agreed Order. The parties' stipulation then states, "The exact facts
available to US Bank of the reduction of US Bank's line of credit with the proceeds of the Wells
Fargo Note and the subsequent withdrawals on the line of credit by Debtors were not provided

by US Bank until after the Agreed Order was entered." Debtors moved for summary judgment
based on the foregoing uncontroverted facts.
Conclusions of Law
A. Summary Judgment Standard.
Summary judgment is appropriate if the moving party demonstrates there is no genuine
issue as to any material fact, and he is entitled to judgment as a matter of law.7 The movant
bears the initial burden of proving the absence of controverted facts.8 All inferences are to be
construed in favor of the non-moving party.9 Only when reasonable minds could not differ as to
the import of the proffered evidence is summary judgment proper.10
If the evidence submitted by a party who would not have borne the burden of persuasion
at trial establishes the claimant lacks evidence supporting an essential element of the claim, the
non-moving party may show he is entitled to judgment.11 If the non-moving party carries his
initial burden, the plaintiff must come forward with specific facts showing a genuine issue for
B. Rule 9024 Applies, Not §1330.
Courts disagree on whether a confirmation order may be challenged under a Rule 9024
motion or whether the challenge must be brought as an adversary under § 1330.13 In this case,

Co., Ltd., v. Zenith Radio Corp., 475 U.S. 574, 587 (1986)).
13 Compare Branchburg Plaza Assoc., L.P., v. Fesq (In re Fesq), 153 F.3d 113 (3d Cir. 1998) (fraud is the
only grounds upon which the confirmation order can be revoked; Rule 9024 is not available to vacate a confirmation
order), with In re Carr, 318 B.R. 517, (Bankr. W.D. Wis. 2004) (Rule 9024 can be used to set aside a confirmation
order); see also In re Midkiff, 342 F.3d 1194, 1199 (10th Cir. 2003) (noting the difference between revoking a

U.S. Bank seeks to vacate the Agreed Order [Doc. No. 34] which set its lien priority as in second
position. U.S. Bank does not request the confirmation order [Doc. No. 36] be vacated.
U.S. Bank does not need to vacate the confirmation order to proceed in the adversary
proceeding, but U.S. Bank does need relief from the Agreed Order to have its claims decided on
the merits. The confirmed plan does not avoid U.S. Bank's lien but states the Debtors shall
avoid the lien under the applicable Code section. The adversary proceeding is the required
procedure to avoid a lien under §§ 506 and 1322.14 If U.S. Bank is ultimately granted relief from
the Agreed Order, the adversary will be decided on its merits. Plan confirmation need not be
revoked. Thus, §1330 and United Student Aid Funds, Inc., v. Espinosa are not implicated by
U.S. Bank's Rule 9024 motion seeking relief from the Agreed Order.15
C. Rule 9024 Standard.
To obtain Rule 9024 relief, the movant must plead and prove: (1) mistake, inadvertence,
surprise, or excusable neglect; (2) newly discovered evidence that, with reasonable diligence,
could not have been discovered in time to move for a new trial under Rule 59(b); (3) fraud ...,
misrepresentation, or misconduct by an opposing party; (4) the judgment is void; (5) the
judgment has been satisfied, released or discharged; it is based on an earlier judgment that has
been reversed or vacated; or applying it prospectively is no longer equitable; or (6) any other
discharge order and providing a party limited relief from an order under Rule 9024).
14 FED. R. BANKR. P. 7001(2) ("[A] proceeding to determine the validity, priority, or extent of a lien or
other interest in property" is an adversary proceeding). See, e.g., Cen-Pen Corp. v. Hanson, 58 F.3d 89 (4th Cir.
1995); Sun Finance Co., Inc., v. Howard (In re Howard), 972 F.2d 639 (5th Cir. 1992); Foremost Fin. Servs. Corp.
v. White ( In re White), 908 F.2d 691 (11th Cir. 1990); Simmons v. Savell (In re Simmons), 765 F.2d 547 (5th Cir.
1985); but see Centex Home Equity Co., LLC, v. Woodling (In re Woodling), 2004 Bankr. LEXIS 1751 (Bankr. D.
Kan. 2004) (allowing a motion to strip a lien outside of the adversary proceeding process where the lien to be
stripped is alleged to have no value).
15 See United Student Aid Funds, Inc., v. Espinosa, 130 S. Ct. 1367, 1376 (2010) (finding Rule 60(b)
applies to Chapter 13 confirmation orders because, under Bankruptcy Rule 9024, Rule 60(b) is applicable in Chapter
13 cases). See also Matter of Transtexas Gas Corp., 303 F.3d 571, 581 n.3 (5th Cir. 2002) (noting "[A]
postjudgment motion calling into question the form of a judgment rather than its substantive correctness ... is more
properly considered as a Rule 60(a) motion.").

reason that justifies relief.16 Rule 9024 does not excuse litigant's or counsel's carelessness.17 On
the other hand, Rule 9024 should be construed liberally in favor of trying the case on its merits.18
Rule 60(b) balances the finality of judgments with the interest of equity. To achieve this
balance, courts may vacate an order or judgment or provide relief from and alter or amend parts
of orders or judgments.19 A Rule 9024 motion is left to the court's discretion.20 The movant
carries the burden to prove he is entitled to relief .21
Rule 60(b)(1) provides for relief from a judgment or order caused by mistake,
inadvertence, surprise or excusable neglect. A Rule 9024 motion is the proper procedure to
correct injustice caused by an order entered based upon mistaken facts.22 Furthermore, an
agreed order is in the nature of a settlement agreement, and generally a settlement agreement
may be rescinded where it is tainted by mutual mistake.23 As such, a mutual mistake may justify
relief under Rule 60(b)(1). However, one party's mistake as to the facts does not justify relief.
"Generally speaking, a party who takes deliberate action with negative consequences ... will not
be relieved of the consequences [by Rule 60(b)(1) ] when it subsequently develops that the

choice was unfortunate."24
Rule 60(b)(3) provides for relief from a judgment or order where there is evidence of
fraud, misconduct, misrepresentation, or misconduct by an opposing party. In order to obtain
relief under Rule 60( b)(3), the movant must show: (1) the party maintained a meritorious claim
at trial; and (2) because of the fraud, misrepresentation or misconduct of the adverse party;
(3) the party was prevented from fully and fairly presenting its case at trial.25
D. Mistake, Misconduct, Neither, or Both.
In contract law, a mistake is a belief which is not in accord with the facts.26 A contract is
voidable by the adversely affected party where a mutual mistake as to a basic assumption on
which the contract was made has a material effect on the agreed exchange of performances.27 An
exception is made if the complaining party bore the risk of mistake. A party bears the risk of
mistake when the agreement allocates the risk to him; or he is aware, at the time the contract is
made, that he has only limited knowledge with respect to the facts to which the mistake relates
but treats his limited knowledge as sufficient; or the risk is allocated to him by the court on the
ground that it is reasonable in the circumstances to do so.28 A mistaken party's fault in failing to
know or discover the facts before making the contract does not bar him from avoidance or
reformation, unless his fault amounts to a failure to act in good faith and in accordance with
24 Cashner v. Freedom Stores, Inc., 98 F.3d 572, 577 (10th Cir.1996) (quoting 7 MOORE, FEDERAL
PRACTICE ¶ 60–22[2] at 60-182).

reasonable standards of fair dealing.29
Misconduct takes many forms and includes false testimony and withholding information.
Misconduct does not demand proof of nefarious intent or purpose.30 The term can cover
accidental omissions. Judgments obtained unfairly because of an opposing party's
misinformation may be corrected, regardless intent.31 The party best situated to provide relevant
information usually bears the burden of doing so.32
E. Analysis.
U.S. Bank may be entitled to relief if it can prove the Agreed Order is either factually
incorrect under Rule 60(b)(1) or unfairly obtained under Rule 60(b)(3). Debtors have failed to
meet their burden to show U.S. Bank lacks evidence supporting an essential element of either
claim. Debtors seek summary judgment while ignoring their own errors in the record. In their
schedules, Debtors incorrectly state the Wells Fargo note originated in November 2003. Now,
Debtors stipulate the note originated on September 18, 2007. Debtors' complaint alleges U.S.
Bank held a second mortgage. Now, the parties stipulate to a mutual mistaken belief regarding
U.S. Bank's lien priority. On the one side, U.S. Bank has its loan documents, a payment history,
and the public records. On the other side, Debtors have all their loan documents and personal
knowledge of their own debts. Even so, both parties either gave or relied on flawed information.
Creditors are responsible for protecting their claims and are required to perform due diligence

before entering agreements which modify their rights. Similarly, the Bankruptcy Code is for the
honest but unfortunate debtor. Bankruptcy is to protect the debtor, not reward him for his own
mischaracterizations of a creditor's claim. The parties' fact stipulations are insufficient.
Accordingly, summary judgment is not appropriate.
F. Conclusion
For the foregoing reasons, Debtors' Motion for Summary Judgment is DENIED.

Warmth and fun in one: This curly polyester fleece vest has a shawl collar, off-center full-length zipper and a dropped hem in front.
In 1993, we adopted fleece into our product line made from post consumer recycled (PCR) plastic soda bottles. We were the first outdoor clothing manufacturer to do so. PCR® clothing was a positive step towards a more sustainable system – one that uses fewer resources, discards less and better protects people's health.
Today, we're able to utilize more sources for recycled polyester and offer it on more garments such as Capilene® baselayers, shell jackets, board shorts, and fleece. We now recycle used soda bottles, unusable manufacturing waste, and worn out garments (including our own) into polyester fibers to produce many of our clothes.
Using recycled polyester lessens our dependence on petroleum as a raw material source, curbs discards and reduces toxic emissions from incinerators.
We promote fair labor practices, safe working conditions and environmental responsibility throughout the Patagonia supply chain.

ZF-7920: The example code db adapter declaration in Quickstart guide assumes a case-insensitive file system
See: http://framework.zend.com/docs/quickstart/…
Diff: -resources.db.adapter = "PDO_SQLITE" +resources.db.adapter = "Pdo_Sqlite"
From the code sample: ; application/configs/application.ini
; Add these lines to the appropriate sections: [production] resource.db.adapter = "PDO_SQLITE"
This was an unfortunate mistake in 1.9.3 which was reverted/fixed in 1.9.3PL1, released a few hours (tnx Matthew!) after 1.9.3.
See also the release announcement of 1.9.3PL1: "The BC break reported had to do with Zend_Db::factory() and how it handled adapter names. In our API docs, we have listed the adapter name as being case insensitive, though in the end-user documentation, no examples actually showed this use case. The use case in question was to pass the adapter name in all capitals or all lowercase: e.g., "PDO_MYSQL", "pdo_mysql". A recent bugfix to allow passing in MixedCase segments in adapter prefixes and names invalidated this case. While we feel the fix was correct, unfortunately a number of users were affected by the change, and we felt it necessary to revert a portion of the changeset to ensure the previously mentioned case insensitive use cases would continue to work."
Source: http://devzone.zend.com/article/…
I assume upgrading to 1.9.3PL1 fixes your issue.

Catholic Charities honored seven Refugee Resettlement Department volunteers who together logged more than 700 volunteer hours in just over half a year at an internationally themed volunteer luncheon held Friday, April 26.
"There's a great need for nonprofit work," said Giselle Harrington, a volunteer who worked in Egypt and Palestine teaching children with mental disabilities before returning to the United States and volunteering with Catholic Charities. "Volunteers really make nonprofit work happen."
Similar to fellow volunteers that attended the luncheon, Ms. Harrington helps refugees pull together resumes and find work.
"I use my understanding of how to network," Ms. Harrington said, "so that people can become employed, self sufficient and have a good result."

On July 25, 1980 AC/DC released Back In Black, an album that became an instant classic and is still one of the top selling rock albums worldwide. It is not hard to hear why. In the liner notes to the 2003 re-issue of the album David Fricke wrote that "Back In Black was, and still is, a marvel of rock & roll synchronicity." The record features songs that are still classic rock anthems today including "You Shook Me All Night Long" and "Rock and Roll Ain't Noise Pollution." Produced by rock legend John "Mutt" Lange, the entire forty-two minutes are filled with heavy melodic guitar riffs, a steady pounding rock rhythm section, and the gritty, screeching voice of…Brian Johnson.
The story of Johnson's role as lead singer is what pushes Back In Black past the realm of classic albums and into the space of rock mythology. The album was a rebirth for the band only months after previous lead singer Bon Scott passed away February 19, 1980. At the time, it seemed amazing that AC/DC could find a new singer who captured the passion, growl, and attitude of Scott's voice – a voice that was at the heart of a song like "Highway to Hell," the title track of the 1979 album (Scott's last). The handwritten lyrics of the song now hang in the Rock Hall's new Metal exhibit, right next to Angus Young's famous school boy outfit. Back In Black opens with an exceptional tribute to Scott, "Hell's Bells." Church bells toll as a distorted guitar melody opens up the song, and when Johnson's vocals enter the lyrics seem to describe the same character that Scott painted for himself, "I'm rolling thunder, pouring rain / I'm coming on like a hurricane / My lightning's flashing across the sky / You're only young but you're gonna die." And yes, I know that Johnson was supposedly inspired by the actual storm that raged outside the recording studio, but it helped him to find the perfect way to describe the end of the journey that Scott described in "Highway to Hell."
For me, the essence of the entire album can be felt in the opening to side two of the original vinyl – the title song. The closed high-hat and muted guitar strings count out eight beats (the last two played only on the high-hat), and then BAM, its right into the riff that dominates the rest of the song, "Yes, I'm back!" – and there can be no doubt about it, AC/DC was back (check it out for yourself here). I know any hard rock or metal fan has a story of the first time they heard the album, or the moment they fell in love with it, so sound off rock fans and share your story with the rest of us in the comments section below.
For those about to rock, we salute you!

2013 - Desert RATS Classic 100K Endurance Mountain Bike Race
Submitted by David on
On the western slope of Colorado, the famous Kokopelli Trail winds its way through sagebrush, ledgy slickrock, winding double track, sandy washes, fast jeep trails and crosses the state line toward Moab, Utah. This trail is the site of the Desert R.A.T.S. Classic. The 100 kilometer endurance mountain bike race is a challenging out and back test of stamina. Held in May, it's a great early season test of fitness and a great reason to keep training over the winter and early spring. The course is equally well suited for geared bikes and single speeds and covers a wide variety of terrain including challenging technical terrain, grueling climbs, fast flats and tricky descents. This event is challenging and should not be taken lightly. While it is not designed for the casual rider, you can finish with focused and adequate training.

The narrative history of the American antecedents of Laura Cooper Fenimore, tracing her geealogical predecessors to their European origins. Presented in Four Volumes: Volume 1 is common historical antecedents; Volume 2 is Cooper lineage, Volume 3 is Scribner lineage, and volume 4 contains pedigree charts and an index of individuals. These volumes attempt to answer the question: what does it mean to be a Cooper, a Scribner, a Henderson, a Steele, or a McNutt--to tell the stories of our ancestors' lives; to explain the circumstances of their worlds, describe how they created their places in it, and observe how their worlds were effected by their efforts.
Laura Cooper Fenimore, a practicing attorney, was inspired to begin family history research in 1989 when her mother died and knew very little about her own family background. Shortly after her mother's death, she was offered a legal position for the federal government in the Washington, D.C. area, which provided her with direct access to the rich resources of the National Archives. She thereafter began a life-long labor of love to discover the family roots her mother had sorely missed, and these volumes are the product of that work. These volumes present her family research in a compelling narrative format -- focusing on the stories of her American family in historical context. With the development of the internet, Ms. Fenimore has been able to relocate home to her native Oregon where she continues her work.

Date Climbed: Jun 30, 2014
|Camped at Crater Lake the night before, left at 5:30am and got to the top of the Bell Cord Couloir by 9am (its a long climb, especially with no warm up). We did South Maroon Peak first (very easy from the saddle) and then did North Maroon (not as easy). Most of it seemed class 3+ with a few in your face class 5 moves. Awesome traverse though! Going down North Maroon was interesting. That was probably the hardest part of the day and the most worrisome part as well. There was a bunch of snow on the standard route so finding our way down was a little interesting at times.

Summited 11.31; :58 from the traverse/bottom of the 2nd gully to the summit. Summited @ 11.31. Clouds all over but none too threatening. Left summit @ 12.33. Down by 17.31. Tremendous views, esp. of Maroon (duh), & Capitol & Snowmass. Loved the way the route went from hiking to steep hiking to scrambling to the steepest climbing on the ridge crest to the summit- classic! Wonderful day on an extremely enjoyable route on a classic peak. Missed you at the summit, bro- there will be others!

More than 600 people gathered last week at the Catholic Charities Lt. Joseph P. Kennedy Community Center to celebrate the life and work of Martin Luther King Jr. This central Harlem landmark hosted celebrations sponsored by multiple groups that regularly meet there including, the Harambee Dance Company and the Martin Luther King Jr. Center New York Support Group.
"Harlem is the central point in the New York Archdiocese of Dr. Martin Luther King's work personified; he walked the streets of Harlem," said Kennedy Center Director Deacon Rodney Beckford.
The Deacon also served as the master of ceremonies at the at the Central Harlem Vicariate-sponsored interfaith service held last week at All Saints Roman Catholic Church in Harlem.
"The community was not only familiar with Dr. King as a national figure but as a personal figure; at this time every year all the institutions in Harlem rise to the occasion of remembering him and promoting the justice, peace and equality he espoused," Deacon Beckford continued. "We at Catholic Charities Kennedy Center have always been at the forefront of that celebration."

With justover two weeks until SiWC13, it's time for our annual ride share blog!
Like our annual room share blog, this one's all about the comments. Looking for someone to share a ride from the airport or the ferry terminal? Post in the comments. Want to carpool from other parts of YVR? Post that, too.
It's helpful to say whether you are looking to share a cab, be a carpool driver or be a carpool passenger as well as where you'll be coming from (airport, ferry, area of town) and what day(s) and approximate time. Please be smart about your safety. Don't post your address or flight number or other specifics here publicly. We provide this comment trail for your convenience by popular request, but we don't know many of the people who post and we do not get involved in this process. Carpool arrangements are made at your own risk.
See you in a couple of weeks!

The next few weeks are jam packed with amazing dance.
Ballet West kicks things off with Emeralds with Petite Morte & Paquita.
Ballet West's dynamic spring production opens with the Utah premiere of George Balanchine's lush and romantic Emeralds to music by Gabriel Faure. This is the first ballet in Balanchine's full evening trilogy Jewels. The program continues with the long-awaited return of Marius Petipa's Grand Pas from Paquita, an exciting work of classical variations set to the music of Ludwig Minkus. Rounding out the program is the Utah premiere of Jiri Kylian's sensual work, Petite Mort, set to two of Mozart's popular piano concertos.
What makes this performance very special is after 28 years as music director and principal conductor with Ballet West, Maestro Terence Kern will relinquish his baton and begin the transition to his new position as music director emeritus. His new title will take effect at the conclusion of Ballet West's 2011–12 season.
The Utah Chamber Orchestra will be led by various guest conductors during Ballet West's 2012–13 season, with the goal of filling the full-time position by the end of the performance year. The search for the company's next music director will begin immediately.
"Throughout our history, Ballet West has been fortunate to have visionary leadership, and Terry is an integral part of our growth," said Artistic Director Adam Sklute. "He has served Ballet West with dedication, enthusiasm, a sense of humor and a commitment to excellence. We are privileged to have him remain as Director Emeritus to provide artistic guidance and continuity."
Rire Woodbury Dance Company closes out the season with Iridescence. Next week we will have a behind-the-scenes video with the cast and crew for an inside look at the show.
In the meantime, consider attending a sneak peek of a work-in-progress: Secret Dark World by guest choreographer and Ririe-Woodbury Alumnus Keith Johnson. Join them after for a Q&A and reception catered by Angela's Catering. Please RSVP for this exclusive event by calling 801-297-4241.
Thursday, April 19 at 5:30 p.m. Jeanne Wagner Theatre, Rose Wagner Performing Arts Center, 138 W. Broadway, SLC. The show is free, but you must RSVP.
The dance will premiere in its entirety at Ririe-Woodbury's Iridescence. April 26–28, 2012 at 7:30 p.m. at the Rose Wagner Performing Arts Center.
And if you want to be dancing instead of just watching the dance, RDT is holding auditions.
Saturday, May 12 from 1–5 p.m., $10 fee to audition, RDT Studio, Rose Wagner Performing Arts Center, 138 W. 300 South, SLC, rdtutah.org.

Sicilian margarita
A blood-orange liqueur from Sicily reinvigorates one of America's favorite cocktails.
1½ ounces tequila
½ ounce Solerno Blood Orange Liqueur
½ ounce fresh lime juice
½ ounce simple syrup*
½ ounce pink grapefruit juice
Lime slices, for garnish
Combine ingredients and shake well. Serve over ice in an old-fashioned glass, and garnish with slices of lime.
Pickwick punch
This is an elegant, traditional hot punch worth snuggling up to.

1 part port
1 part simple syrup*
1 part fresh lime juice
2 parts hot water
Fresh pineapple, for garnish
Freshly grated nutmeg
Combine ingredients in a punch bowl. Garnish with pineapple slices and nutmeg.
Winter rickey
The rickey was created in our nation's capital in 1883, and the drink's simple balance of gin, citrus and soda water makes it as drinkable today as it was back then.
1½ ounces gin
½ ounce fresh lime juice
½ ounce blood-orange juice (store bought is fine)
½ ounce honey syrup (equal parts honey and water)
3 ounces soda water
Orange slices, for garnish
Build ingredients over ice in a tall glass, and garnish with an orange wheel.
Tropical storm

Fresh strawberries, for garnish
Combine ingredients in a pitcher or punch bowl with ice. Serve over ice in tall glasses with sliced strawberries.
Louisiana's official cocktail is also New Orleans's signature drink: strong and smooth, with a wisp of absinthe and a taste of another era (much like the city itself).
Dash of absinthe
2 ounces rye whiskey
3 dashes Peychaud's Bitters
½ ounce simple syrup*
Lemon peel
Chill an old-fashioned glass, and rinse with absinthe. Combine rye, bitters and simple syrup in a mixing glass, and stir with ice. Strain cocktail into prepared old-fashioned glass, and finish with a lemon peel.
New York Sour
The New York Sour dates back at least to the mid-1800s and is best enjoyed during the cold months. The trick to floating the wine at the end? A steady hand.
2 ounces rye whiskey
1 ounce simple syrup*
¾ ounce fresh lemon juice
Dash of orange bitters
½ ounce red wine
Combine ingredients except red wine, and shake well. Strain into a coupe, and float red wine on top by pouring over the back of a tablespoon.

More states requiring reporting of mental health records to FBI gun background check database
Maryland now required to report to NICS
For Colin Goddard, the reality hit as hard as the pain.
"I felt like I got kicked as hard as I have ever been kicked in my life above my left knee," Goddard said. "It shook my entire body."
Goddard would be shot three more times while under a desk in his Virginia Tech French class in April 2007.
"It was like a sharp burn," he said. "Kind of a stinging feeling that soon kind of faded into this kind of warm, wet numbness. It was that moment, coupled with the smell of the propellant, the gunpowder that I just realized … I just got shot."
Goddard, was one of 17 people wounded in one of America's most deadliest mass shootings. Godard survived. Thirty-two others were killed.
The shooter, Seung-Hui Cho, a senior at Virginia Tech, took his own life after the massacre on the Blacksburg, Virginia campus, leaving victims and others without an answer to why someone would open fire, killing so many.
For Goddard, the question of why, quickly turned into how.
"How do these shootings happen?" Goddard said. "How did this shooting happen?"
By asking these questions, Goddard and others realized the shooter should have never been able to purchase the guns he did. His mental health disqualified him federally.
In late 2005, Cho was declared a danger to himself by a Virginia court, according to a 2007 review of the shooting. This declaration meets the federal criteria, former chairman of the Supreme Court of Virginia's Commission on Mental Health Law Reform, Richard J. Bonnie, said during the review.
Since the 1960s, U.S. gun control laws have limited firearms ownership for certain individuals. Some of those restrictions apply to those with felony convictions, those who have been involuntarily committed to a mental health facility or those who have entered a plea of insanity during a criminal trial.
To help states and the federal government enforce these restrictions, it created the National Instant Criminal Background Check System, NICS.
The system was mandated by the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act of 1993 and is designed to screen people prohibited from legally obtaining firearms from doing so. It was launched in November 1998.
A portion of the databases' effectiveness depends on states reporting information to the FBI.
"Something as simple as a file transfer from one agency to another could have altered the series of events that nearly got me killed and killed 32 of my classmates," Goddard said. "It was just shocking how a simple a change in that area could improve things."
There are more than 3.4 million mental health records in NICS as of May of this year, according to the FBI. Those records make up 30 percent of the total active records in the background database and more than a million of those records were added in 2013.
In 2011, Mayors Against Illegal Guns conducted research to discover why critical mental health and drug abuse records were missing from the NICS database. The coalition of more than 1,000 current and former mayors found 19 states submitted fewer than 100 records to NICS.
Mass shootings like Virginia Tech and the 2011 shooting in Tucson, Arizona where U.S. Representative Gabrielle Giffords and 18 others were shot, have brought the issue of states not reporting to the forefront of gun safety conversations.
Since the coalition's 2011 report, the amount of mental health records reported to the federal government for the purpose of a background check has tripled.
States passing laws requiring or authorizing the reporting of some mentally ill people to NICS for use in firearm purchaser background checks is part of the reason for these increases.
Currently, 39 states have laws in place requiring reporting to NICS.
Click here to see how many records your state has submitted, according to Everytown for Gun Safety, a campaign started by the Mayors Against Illegal Guns.
According to the Mayors Against Illegal Guns, the 11 states without laws in place that require providing information to the FBI database are:
- Arkansas
- Montana
- California
- New Hampshire
- New Mexico
- Vermont
- Wyoming
- Massachusetts
- Michigan
- Ohio
- Utah
The Hawaii governor signed a bill (HB 2246) on June 18 of this year, requiring reporting and a bill in Massachusetts that would require records reporting has passed both houses and is now in conference.
Doctor Beth McGinty, an assistant professor at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, said Maryland is toward the bottom tier of states to finally come around.
Late last year the state passed the Firearm Safety Act that closed the reporting loophole in Maryland.
Before the law was enacted, Maryland reported only 400 records of those involuntarily committed or those found to be not mentally stable to stand trial or conduct their own affairs by the court. Since the bill became law, that number has jumped to around 6,000 records.
"That involuntarily committed group is the group we know is at heightened risk of violence," McGinty said. "So, going from 0 to 56 hundred is a very big step."
She points to studies and evidence that show this targeted population is at a higher risk of violence.
Maryland isn't alone. According to the 2014 report from the Mayor's coalition, other states have also seen large increases in the number of records reported to NICS in recent years.
South Carolina had only submitted 34 records to NICS as of October 2012 and had no laws addressing mental health reporting. That changed in May 2013 when a law requiring state courts to submit mental health records to NICS was passed. During the next six months, the state reported close to 9,000 records to the system.
Idaho passed a law in 2010 requiring courts to report records to the state police, which were then forwarded to NICS. In April 2012, there were zero records reported but by November 2013, more than 4,000 records were reported.
Kentucky state officials wouldn't allow records to be submitted to NICS due to privacy issues. That changed in July 2011 with a state law requiring courts to submit records and displacing privacy restrictions.
While there have been huge increases in the number of records reported to the FBI in recent years, gun safety advocates point out there is still more that can be done.
For started, Goddard and others would like to see all states adopt reporting requirements. He is now a Senior Policy Advocate for Mayors Against Illegal Guns.
For states that already have requirements in place, some, like Florida and Missouri do not explicitly require that records be reported. In it's report, the Mayor's coalition said "these states should provide clear statutory direction that records must be reported so that a change in political will or funding does not hold back progress."
Jeff Richardson, the Executive Director of Mosaic, a Community Behavioral Health Provider in Baltimore, said laws may only be a bandage on a much larger public health concern.
"It really doesn't address the broader issue about how we provide services and help our communities," Richardson said. "If we truly want to make this a safe, healthy community, we should make mental health services much more accessible, resource them much better than we do now and help reduce the stigma and open the access to this level of care."
For Goddard, restricting patients from access to a firearm and convincing the remaining states to fall in line with a 46-year-old federal law is part of the solution.
"I know Maryland was a little late to the game compared to other states," Goddard said. "But this is such an important issue it is better late than never."

Montage Residences Deer Valley has reported more than $88 million in sales in the past 23 months, with 23 residences sold and continued momentum heading into the winter season. This summer and fall, Montage Residences Deer Valley closed six residences, totaling close to $20 million in transactions, with more sales in the process of officially closing.
"With the luxury property market, people are starting to realize that the market is recovering," said Ed Rehill, Director of Sales for Montage Residences Deer Valley. "People are tired of keeping their money on sidelines they want to know there were no missed opportunities."
A total of 81 private residences are a part of the Montage Deer Valley, and the sales that are taking place show an increased interest this summer in buying high-end properties, Rehill said. Within the past 18 months, Montage Residences Deer Valley sold $67 million, setting a record for summer month sales.
"We saw a huge spike in summer sales, which is unusual" Rehill added. "People are noticing this destination has four seasons. There were hot leads in the winter, and we closed those sales in the summer."
Positioned at the top of Empire Pass in Deer Valley, the Montage Residences Deer Valley offers mountain valley views and ski-in/ski-out access. Owners of the residences have access to dedicated concierge services, as well as the programming, culinary arts and spa.
Montage Residences Deer Valley has select homes available for purchase, ranging in size from 1,850 to 5,380 square feet and priced from the high $2.
"The sales activity is validation that Park City is four-season destination," Rehill said. "This interest in our property speaks to the quality of the Montage Deer Valley, but also the accessibility of the resort."
Montage Deer Valley offers residents a selection of four distinctive dining venues, including a gourmet gastropub with a four-lane regulation bowling alley; Spa Montage, with 29 treatment rooms and mosaic indoor pool, is Utah's largest and most impressive retreat at 35,000 square feet; and Compass Sports, the resort's high-tech recreation center featuring an assembly of iPad-equipped ski valets who make getting on the slopes a snap with three adjacent chairlifts just steps from their door.

Tiny variants in a protein that alerts the immune system to the presence of infection may underlie the rare ability of some individuals to control HIV infection without the need for medications. In a recent paper in Science Express, an international research team reports that they discovered that differences in five amino acids in the HLA-B protein are associated with whether or not HIV-infected individuals can control viral levels with their immune system only.
During this week's podcast Dr. Robin Hardwicke, from the University of Texas Health Science Center in Houston and one of the members of the research team, elaborates on the implications of the study for HIV treatment. She also discusses why HLA-B is such an important protein in relation to immune system functioning and describes the key role played by a genome-wide association study in the paper published in Science Express.

It's called the "Law of the River," an 80-year-old arrangement that seven states use to share water from the Colorado River Basin. The law is based on a simple 19th Century premise - whoever used the water first has senior water rights. But it's a premise that CU-Boulder water resources expert Brad Udall says is grossly inadequate for the needs of the 21s t Century.
Drought could dry up Law of the River – First in time first in right
Aug. 29, 2013 Brad Udall
It's called the "Law of the River," an 80-year-old arrangement that seven states use to share water from the Colorado River Basin. The law is based on a simple 19th Century premise - whoever used the water first has senior water rights. But it's a premise that CU-Boulder water resources expert Brad Udall says is grossly inadequate for the needs of the 21s t Century.
CUT 1 "Fundamental water management principles in the west - which comes from miners and agricultural interests that first got here, their solution when you didn't have enough water was a really simple one - if you were here first you got it first. If you're here last you got it last. (:15) And if you had a few agricultural interests or a few miners and not a very connected economy well it kind of makes sense. It's a simple rule; it's easy to follow." (:24)
But Udall says that idea doesn't work today because the situation is much more complex than it was 130 years ago. Now more than 40 million people compete for Colorado River water and studies show the region is getting drier. And he says a recent decision by the Department of the Interior to reduce the amount of water released from Lake Powell due to an unprecedented 14-year drought and low reservoir inflows will force water managers to rethink how Colorado River water is distributed.
CUT 2 "What most people are focusing on is not this release but the cascade of effects that we think will happen as a result and that cascade involves either in 2015 or 2016 the first ever shortage to water users in Arizona and Nevada- (:18) That would be the first time in 80 years since all the infrastructure has been put into place on the Colorado River that water deliveries have not been made." (:28)
Based on the current arrangement if water levels in Lake Mead fall below a certain level then Las Vegas could lose up to 90 percent of its allotment and if water levels drop even lower than Phoenix, Tucson and other communities in Arizona stand to lose water. But Udall doesn't think that will happen. Instead he believes a new concept will be adopted - one of shared sacrifice where each state shares in the harm of less water.
CUT 3 "In the 21st Century we need three basic premises. One; water needs to be allocated with some idea of equity. You can't concentrate harm. That in general is not equity. You have got to diffuse harm. The second principle is we really got to consider modern economies and how they are interconnected and if you dry up Las Vegas that hurts Los Angeles, that hurts Phoenix, it hurts the whole nation. It makes no sense to concentrate harm. The third item here is the environment. We have got to allocate the water we have in an environmentally sane way." (:30)
Udall believes that water managers in the Colorado Basin region share his thoughts and are looking at a new way to do business. But in the meantime his worry is if the basin experiences a few wet winters people might put the Colorado River water crises on the back burner.
CUT 4 "My worry is that in a year or two we have a big winter and the pain goes away and you still have this lurking cancer in our water management that everybody decides to ignore but will resurface sometime in the 21st Century. (:15) And we expect more droughts. We have seen declines in flows and my guess is that we are going to have problems here. We have a great opportunity so let's go solve it now." (:24)
Brad Udall is the Director of the Getches-Wilkinson Center for Natural Resources, Energy, and the Environment at the University of Colorado Law School. He has studied the law, policy and science of the Colorado River for 30 years.

Salisbury provides background for 'Sleepy Hollow' TV pilot
Published: Tuesday, March 19, 2013 at 10:55 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, March 19, 2013 at 10:55 a.m.
SALISBURY | Salisbury will serve as the backdrop for a television pilot for a possible 20th Century Fox supernatural thriller based on "Sleepy Hollow."
The Salisbury Post reported (http://bit.ly/ZFdmyh ) several locations have been selected for filming next week.
Location scouts for the show had previously considered filming in Burgaw.
The Rev. Whayne Hougland of St. Luke's Episcopal Church says he hopes the series will be picked up and the city can become Sleepy Hollow. Part of the pilot will be filmed at his church.
Salisbury city spokeswoman Elaney Hasselmann says if the pilot does prompt a television series, several locations in the city could become permanent backdrops.
The show will be set in the 1800s and modern times, with law enforcement agent Ichabod Crane and the villainous headless horseman traveling through time in a fight between good and evil.

Kevin Roose wasn't used to rules like these. As a sophomore at Brown University, he spent his days drinking fair-trade coffee, singing in an a cappella group, and fitting right in with Brown's free-spirited, ultra-liberal student body. But when Roose leaves his Ivy League confines to spend a semester at Liberty University, a conservative Baptist school in Lynchburg, Virginia, obedience is no longer optional.
Liberty is the late Reverend Jerry Falwell's "Bible Boot Camp" for young evangelicals, his training ground for the next generation of America's Religious Right. Liberty's ten thousand undergraduates take courses like Evangelism 101, hear from guest speakers like Sean Hannity and Karl Rove, and follow a forty-six-page code of conduct that regulates every aspect of their social lives. Hoping to connect with his evangelical peers, Roose decides to enroll at Liberty as a new transfer student, leaping across the God Divide and chronicling his adventures in this daring report from the front lines of America's culture war.
His journey takes him from an evangelical hip-hop concert to choir practice at Falwell's legendary Thomas Road Baptist Church. He experiments with prayer, participates in a spring break mission trip to Daytona Beach (where he learns to preach the gospel to partying coeds), and pays a visit to Every Man's Battle, an on-campus support group for chronic masturbators. He meets pastors' kids, closet doubters, Christian rebels, and conducts what would be the last print interview of Rev. Falwell's life.
Hilarious and heartwarming, respectful and thought-provoking, THE UNLIKELY DISCIPLE will inspire and entertain believers and nonbelievers alike.

In the Lord's Prayer, we ask, "lead us not into temptation." Every temptation is a lie, that makes something evil look good.
Among the most masterful temptations of the evil one is to make the killing of a child seem better than the birth of that child. This is the lie that leads each day to thousands of abortions. As we pray, "Lead us not into temptation," let's keep in mind the need to protect all pregnant mothers from the deception of abortion. Let's also pray against the temptation to be silent and passive in the midst of this holocaust. Sins of omission are the most frequent sins, especially in regard to the culture of death. Let's say more, do more, and sacrifice more for life! Lead us not into temptation!

ST. LOUIS -- The University of Iowa wrestling team advanced four wrestlers to the semifinals of the NCAA Wrestling Championship today inside the Scottrade Center. Matt McDonough, Tony Ramos, Montell Marion and Derek St. John earned quarterfinal wins to guarantee All-American status and advance to the final four of their respective weights.
McDonough and Ramos each earned bonus point victories in their matchups. McDonough (125) advanced to his third semifinal in as many years with a 13-3 major decision over Stanford's Ryan Mango. He erased an early takedown and rattled off nine straight points, building 4:21 of riding time to pick up the bonus-point victory. He pinned his way to the quarterfinals and has scored bonus points in all three bouts. McDonough will face Kent State's Nicholas Bedelyon in the semis. It will be the first career meeting between the two.
Ramos (133) ran to a 5-0 first period lead against 11th-seeded Steven Keith (Harvard) before scoring his first pin of the tournament at the 1:57 mark. He's secured his first career All-American honor and will wrestle for a spot in the finals against Ohio State's second-seeded Logan Stieber. Ramos lost to Stieber, 5-2, in the 2012 Big Ten finals.
Marion (141) battled back from deficits in the first and second periods to score a 7-6 win over Cal-Poly's Borislav Novachkov. Marion trailed 5-3 entering the third period before scoring an escape and takedown to grab a 6-5 advantage. He gave up a late escape to the sixth-seeded Novachkov but used 1:25 of riding time to advance to the semis and guarantee All-America honors for the third straight year. Marion will face Oklahoma's second-seeded Kendric Maple. Maple topped Marion 5-3 in their only career meeting, the 2011 Midlands finals.
St. John (157) earned his eighth straight win with a 3-1 decision over Penn State's seventh-seeded Dylan Alton. A fourth-place NCAA finisher last year, St. John traded escapes with Alton before breaking the 1-1 tie with a takedown with 38 seconds on the clock. The victory sets up a Big Ten finals rematch against Northwestern's third-seeded Jason Welch. St. John is undefeated in four career meetings with Welch.
Ethen Lofthouse (174) and Bobby Telford (285) each fell into the consolation bracket following quarterfinal losses. Lofthouse gave up a late takedown to Minnesota's Logan Storley to drop a 3-1 decision. Telford was blanked, 2-0, by defending NCAA champion Zachary Rey (Lehigh). Rey scored a second period reversal to record the only points of the bout.
Lofthouse and Telford each need one victory in the wrestle-backs to secure All-America honors. Lofthouse will face Michigan's 11th-seeded Justin Zeerip. Telford will face Arizona State's ninth-seeded Levi Cooper.
In the consolation bracket, Grant Gambrall defeated Victory Avery (Edinboro) before falling to Missouri's Mike Larson to end his All-America hopes. Mike Evans (165) was eliminated from the tournament by Wisconsin's Ben Jordan. Jordan scored the only takedown of the match and used 1:44 of riding time to top Evans, 3-2.
The Hawkeyes sit in third place with 58.5 points. Penn State leads the team race with 78.5 points. Cornell is in second with 61.5, Minnesota is in third (56) and Oklahoma State is in fifth (50). Iowa and Cornell have four wrestlers in the championship bracket. Penn State has five.
Competition resumes at 6 p.m. tonight inside the Scottrade Center. Session IV will be televised by ESPNU and streamed online on ESPN3. Fans can follow the championships on AM-800 KXIC or listen to the audio stream via Hawkeye All-Access. Steven Grace and Mark Ironside will call the action live from the Scottrade Center.

Project Potential is seeking items for its seniors who will attend college in the fall.
Each year the program holds a Dorm Room Give-a-way that provides assistance to students. They are asking for donations of single comforters/blankets/XL single sheets/mattress covers, pop-up laundry hampers/laundry bags, wash cloths/towels/shower caddies, alarm clocks, hangers, storage bins, small trash cans, fans, irons, school supplies, desk lamps and dry erase/bulletin boards.
Project Potential identifies promising students in the eighth grade who may not be able to afford college but who have the academic ability or need an extra push. Officials with the program encourage students to reach their full potential by conducting themselves responsibly throughout their high school careers. The high school students also partake in college visits, community service, SAT tutoring and academic/college counseling.
Monetary donations or contributions can be given to Chevon Burton, 242-1617, or Cathy Coles, 689-8113. The give-a-way will take place May 28.

It really is a sign of the times. It seems that the migration of jobs out of Los Angeles and California in general continues. Our small business has experienced some of our Employees and Contractors moving from Orange County and Los Angeles to Charlotte North Carolina. We are in the business of designing and making custom draperies for a wide variety of Customers. We sell our Drapery throughout the US and Canada to Homeowners and Designers. We had a small niche which was selling Drapery to Television and Movie Production Companies and Set Designers in Los Angeles. We've been in this business for many years. About three years ago the Set Design potion of our business started a steady decrease in revenue. It's not that Production Companies no longer needed drapery for their TV or Movie Sets but, those Sets and Productions were simply moving out of LA and California.
Where did all of the Production go? Well, a lot of it went to Canada where Production Crews are "Non-Union" and much less expensive than their Hollywood counterparts. We also saw a decent migration of the Productions that we made custom drapery for move to Charlotte. By moving to Charlotte, Production Companies were able to enjoy lower taxes and wages than LA and not have to manage with cross-border issues when going to Canada. Sadly for DrapeStyle, we actually had one of our very best Drapery Installers move to Charlotte from Orange County. Like the Entertainment Industry, Bill is now enjoying a much lower cost of living, lower taxes and better lifestyle than when he was here in Southern California. With so much TV Production moving to the Carolina's we may end up opening a new drapery workroom there to support the industry. I can't help but to think of the irony as so much of the drapery and textile world was born in North Carolina only to leave for places like Mexico and China. Wouldn't it be great if we could bring many of those jobs back to that part of the Country?
