Medical News Today announced yesterday, Monday, February 24, 2014, in its article, "Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute sets prioritized research agenda for managing two diverse conditions" that PCORI (Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute) based standards of research for DCIS would be soon published in the Annals of Internal Medicine. The controversy is based upon these questions: Is DCIS (Stage 0) breast cancer or is it non-cancerous or over time, will it become breast cancer? These and other questions have been rigorously posed by patients, caregivers, advocates and some physicians for some time. A quote from the article … DCIS presents "challenges to physicians and patients because the diagnosis is often not clear-cut and typical treatments come with a trade-off of benefits and serious side effects." Their voices have been given an ear and a platform made for resolution through PCORI. The title and summary of one of two abstracts cited in today's Annals of Internal Medicine, gets to the point of what the controversy is and what needs to be done to resolve it: "Setting a Research Agenda for Ductal Carcinoma in Situ That Meets the Current Need for Change; This issue includes a report of the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute's effort to identify research priorities related to ductal carcinoma in situ. The editorialists comment on the identified priorities and look forward to evidence that will help us manage risk in women diagnosed with ductal carcinoma in situ lesions rather than treating them all as if they have cancer." The second abstract, Prioritization of Research Addressing Management Strategies for Ductal Carcinoma in Situ provides background, great detail and a good summary, "As long as mammography continues to be the primary tool available to reduce breast cancer mortality rates, many women will be given a DCIS diagnosis during their lifetime. Thus, improvement of the ability of women given a DCIS diagnosis to make informed decisions about management options will be a critical need for the foreseeable future. A workgroup of 9 stakeholders representing diverse perspectives identified 10 research areas as the highest priority for future research for patient-centered management strategies for DCIS that, if studied, have the potential to resolve some of the uncertainty surrounding a DCIS diagnosis."

Two women killed in a house fire in Pine Bluff have been identified as sisters.
Jefferson County Coroner Chad Kelley told reporters the victims are Allison O'Neal and Daisy Roberts. Kelley said both women were in their 50s.
A third woman who was inside the home at the time of the fire was rescued and is hospitalized while a firefighter was treated for smoke inhalation and released.
Firefighters say the fire was reported shortly after 1 a.m. Wednesday and appears to have started in the kitchen of the home. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

|Christmas in October
It's been 205 days since the Idaho women's basketball team ended its 2011-12 season, and after a long offseason, fifth-year head coach Jon Newlee couldn't be more excited to get official team practices underway Monday.
"It's like Christmas morning," Newlee said. "You've seen all these presents wrapped up, now you get to unwrap them and see what you've got. It's the most exciting day of the year."
As many as eight players could see action a Vandal for the first time in in 2012-13, but it didn't feel like Newlee would be grooming a large crop of newcomers Monday.
That's because this group of newcomers features several familiar faces, and a whole lot of chemistry. Freshman Natalie Lainhart, sophomore Maren Austgulen and junior Addie Schivo all spent last season with the Vandals despite not playing a game. Lainhart added a year of eligibility to the end of her career by taking a redshirt season. Austgulen served the first 32 games of an NCAA mandated 34-game suspension for playing with a professional player back home in Norway. Schivo spent 2011-12 rehabbing her surgically repaired knee. All three will be available in 2012-13, and are ready to make an impact.
"They've been here a year, they know the system and they know what I expect on the floor and off the floor," Newlee said of the three. "They're familiar with the coaches and obviously they've practiced with those players who did play."
Even Idaho's four true freshmen have a little familiarity with the Vandal program. Ali Forde, whose brother Maxx plays football for the Vandals, has been on campus since early August as a member of the Idaho volleyball team. The two-sport athlete will redshirt in volleyball this season and spend the rest of the year with the basketball team. Abi Quinnett is a Moscow native who grew up in the Vandal community. Connie Ballestero and Christina Salvatore spent much of their prep careers playing AAU basketball with Vandal point guard Krissy Karr for the Orange County Rhythm in Southern California.
Junior college transfer Janelle Weiss also joins the Vandal program, and will compete for time at guard.
"Those new kids filtering in should mesh quicker because of the amount of people who are familiar with the program," Newlee said. "Those five newcomers are going to have to get in there right away, I expect them to fully get involved and contribute."
In addition to well-versed newcomers, Idaho still has many of its top performers from last season returning. First-team All-WAC selection and leading scorer Alyssa Charlston is back for her junior season, and senior Jessica Graham could be in the best health of her career entering the season. Sophomores Karr and Stacy Barr proved they among the best freshmen in the WAC last season as Karr earned WAC All-Freshman team honors and Barr was second on the team in scoring with more than 10.0 points per game.
Add into the mix 6-foot-4 junior post Ashley Walters, who played in all 30 games and started five in 2011-12, and senior Ana Overgaard who played in 13 games a season ago and Newlee is excited for the potential his team has this season.
"I love the mix of the new and the old. I'm very excited to see how they all mesh on the floor," Newlee said.
The Vandals will have all of October to practice before hosting an exhibition on Nov. 2 against Western Oregon in Memorial Gym, and Newlee hopes the team can grow together even more before then.
"We've got to get together on the floor offensively. Everybody has got to get a good feel for each other on the floor offensively and defensively. We're going to have to learn, we're going to have to communicate. We always want to make sure our communication is good on both ends and that our work ethic is good on a daily basis."
Idaho opens the regular season at Wyoming on Nov. 9, with the home opener is Nov. 16 against Portland in Memorial Gym.

Los Angeles, CA – Monday, April 18, 2011 – Dr. John C. Williams, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco will address TOWN HALL Los Angeles on Wednesday, May 4, 2011, at the Millennium Biltmore Hotel. This marks his first public address on the economy since being named president on March 1, 2011. Dr. Williams will discuss "Maintaining Price Stability in a Global Economy."
"I feel privileged to be heading up the largest, most diverse district in the Federal Reserve System, particularly during this period when we face many critical challenges," said Dr. Williams. Addressing Fed policy recently, Dr. Williams said that "without this monetary stimulus, the recession would have likely been very much worse and the recovery might have failed to reach escape velocity. Moreover, it has so far helped protect us from sliding into deflation as Japan did."
In his capacity as president of the San Francisco Bank, Dr. Williams also is a participating member of the Federal Open Market Committee, bringing his District's perspective to monetary policy discussions in Washington, DC.
Of the twelve Federal Reserve Districts, the Twelfth District is the largest, encompassing the nine western states or about 35 percent of the nation's area. It ranks first among Districts in the size of its economy. Its nearly 25 million workers accounted for about one fifth of the country's non-farm employment, earning more than one fifth of the nation's personal income in 2009.
Prior to becoming the 12th president of the Twelfth District of the Federal Reserve, Dr. Williams had been executive vice president and director of research at the San Francisco Federal Reserve Bank since 2009. Dr. Williams' speech marks the third economic outlook address delivered by a Federal Reserve Bank president in the recent past; the previous two were given by his predecessor, Dr. Janet Yellen, in 2007 and 2010.
One of the Top 10 Leadership Forums in the nation, Town Hall Los Angeles advocates for no side, represents no particular ideology, and stands solidly in support of free speech, civility and a belief that knowledge is a priceless commodity. Join us as we ramp-up to our 75th Anniversary, visit www.townhall-la.org.

JTs new number
Posted by David Kennedy
Jason apparently decided that Andre Carter's demands for compensation were too great, and he appeared at the Redskins practice wearing #55. And that number is now for sale via the Redskins and the NFL.
What amused me is that Zach wasn't able to get 54 in Dallas, so he, too, took 55.
I guess they'll always be connected that way.

University of Minnesota Extension Service
University of Minnesota Extension Service
Date Produced:
February 2006
Educational Campaign
Elementary School (6-8 yrs)
Middle School (9-12 yrs)
Grains/Whole Grains
Three component, 5 lesson school-based curriculum designed to increase intake of whole grain foods by elementary school children
Free download
Web Site:
A. Use of MyPlate/MyPlate or the Dietary Guidelines for Americans
Material incorporates and uses some concepts in MyPlate or the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans.
This curriculum focuses on encouraging individuals to consume at least 3 servings of whole grain foods each day.
B. Scope
Scope of information appropriate for target audience and essential topics discussed in appropriate detail.
This three-component curriculum provides materials for students (5 lessons), parents, and school foodservice personnel. Includes a series of outstanding activities to reinforce concepts.
C. Purpose
Purpose of material clearly stated in title or introduction.
Excellent "cover sheet" is the first page on this web-based curriculum; allows easy access to the parts you are interested in and provides excellent overview.
D. Organization
Material well-organized and major points presented clearly.
Some information is redundant as it is laid out for both teachers/students, parents, and/or school foodservice personnel. However, if you were only looking at one of these three sections, you wouldn't know that. In this case redundancy is appropriate.
E. Accuracy
Information is accurate and recommendations current with content of MyPlate and the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans.
The authors will need to update Lesson 5 about the 5 A Day program beginning this fall when the brand changes to "Fruits and Veggies: More Matters".
F. Learner Background
Material does not assume that reader has background information.
Provides excellent fundamentals.
G. Learning Objectives
Learning objectives identifiable and met.
H. Learning Activities, Projects, or Interactive Learning Tools
Material includes a variety of stimulating and interesting learning experiences, questions, projects, or suggestions for further action that will involve the reader.
Several fun activities for students; good newsletters for parents. The pre-tests, however, seem too long and arduous for this grade level.
I. Objectivity/Sponsor Bias
Subject matter presented objectively and fairly. Company name may be mentioned but product name is not contained in text or illustrations.
There are pictures of Triscuits and Cheerios and the mention of several specific brand items on the grocery store tour handout and throughout the text, however.
J. Inclusion of learning objectives, learner activities, instructional aids, lesson plans, evaluation component, identification of required instructional materials, web site with additional materials.
Material includes five or more of the above.
K. Recipes (if included)
No recipes are included.
L. Recipes (if included)
Recipes include a nutrient analysis per serving for the following nutrients listed on the nutrition label: kcal, macronutrients, trans fats, cholesterol, dietary fiber and sodium. If for a low-income audience, a cost analysis is included.
There are not many recipes in this curriculum; lesson 4 has two recipes that include partial nutrition analysis; the parent newsletter has one recipe with no analysis.
M. Instructional Resources
Instructor resources included with suggestions for enhancing the teaching process. Suggestions for follow-up learning activities/discussion questions included.
N. Credits, References and Resources (Including dates, publisher, etc.)
Current and complete credits, references, and resources listed.
O. Summary
All major ideas summarized or reviewed to reinforce key concepts; summaries easily identified.
A. Role Models
Not applicable.
Curriculum uses animated characters as the 'hosts'; there are no real people included.
B. Multi-cultural Representation
Not applicable.
There are several examples of grains used by various cultures around the globe.
C. Different lifestyles and food patterns
Material reflects, but does not emphasize, a variety of values, practices, and/or food patterns representative of different lifestyles, cultures, and socioeconomic levels.
Print Materials
A. Writing Style
Main ideas are clear and flow smoothly.
B. Writing Approach
Writing approach is positive and personal. Active voice is used most of the time.
I must say if I was a cafeteria manager and I read the section geared toward the foodservice personnel, I would be scared from trying to implement the curriculum; perhaps they were 'too honest', telling many negative aspects of introducing whole grains, describing how difficult it is to get recipes right, how a plate waste study should be conducted if money is an issue, how the foods taste bitter to many kids and adding chocolate chips or sprinkles to the surface might make the kids more willing to try the foods, etc. I found it dreary and depressing. Be POSITIVE! Be ENCOURAGING!
C. Vocabulary
Vocabulary used is appropriate for intended audience. Minimizes use of technical terms and if used, are defined.
D. Supportive Illustrations
Illustrations are related to the material in some way. Most tables and graphs are as simple and easy to read as possible. In most tables and graphs, information is provided in a form requiring no further explanation.
E. Layout and Design
Color, design, and layout are distracting; too much print on the page.
I was disappointed in the appearance -- it could have been made to look so much more professional (from print font selection to page borders and layout). The hand drawn smiley faces were distracting. At least draw them on the computer, not with a pen on your final copy.
F. Visual Quality
Not applicable--is web-based. The user prints it on their own paper.
G. Headings/Cueing Devices
Clear headings are provided for each topic area. Cueing devices (shading, boxes, arrows, etc.) are used to direct attention to key points.
H. Approximate Reading Level
Reading level is at 6th, 7th or 8th grade level.
Web Sites
A. Currentness of Information
Web site information is current; there are no broken hyperlinks.
Monitor the 5 A Day web site as it will become www.morematters.com in the near future.
B. Readability
Text size is adequate for viewing. Good contrast between text and background.
C. Navigation
Navigation through the web site is logical and aided by navigation buttons and a site map or search tool.
Overall Comments on Resource Reviewed
A. Positive Points of the Reviewed Resource:
Activities are GREAT! Good parental involvement through newsletters, joint activities, and after-school opportunities. Focuses on the Social Cognitive Model. Provides comprehensive lessons, handouts, and ancillary materials and web sites. Focuses on a critical issue in children's diets.
B. Points that Could Be Improved:
Surveys appear too lengthy and the actual purpose unclear (e.g., wording -- do you HAVE the food in your house or do you EAT the food?) Surveys between children and adults are not parallel; that surprised me. The graphics could truly be enhanced with additional funding...this curriculum is not 'pretty'.
C. General Comments
I would supplement some of the cautious warnings in the foodservice section with more uplifting, positive information...but overall I would strongly encourage schools to adopt this curriculum. There are great ideas included for teachers, parents and school foodservice personnel.
D. Overall Summary
A winner.

Greetings readers!
Ahhh...sad the weekend is over but so feeling refreshed and ready for a new week!
Here's a little recap of our weekend...
Friday night football!!!! Sadly our boys were beaten during the last bit by a touchdown. Those kind of losses are always so disappointing. Can't wait for them to win this week!!! :)
Saturday morning Trav didn't have to be in until 9 so we had a pancake breakfast as a family before he headed out.
The weather was cooler than usual so the kids and I headed to the park... I can't remember the last time we've been there?! It's been so darn hot lately!
This morning was Sunday school and church. Our Sunday school class has switched head teachers and we are LOVING our new one! He used to be a professor at a seminary in Dallas so he is FULL of awesome information. We're currently studying a book from the Bible each Sunday. Talk about information overload going this fast! But the point of it is for us to go home that week and read through it ourselves to dig even deeper.
After church we came home and all four of us took 2 1/2 hour naps. Doesn't it feel so good to get rested up for your week!?
After naps we headed out to one of our favorite Mexican restaurants for fajitas and Dr. Peppers! I tried all evening to get a picture of the kids together...
this was all I got... Colt had already ran off and I think Emma is picking her wedgie :)
On our way home we drove through my favorite neighborhood that is near the restaurant. The street and homes look like they're right out of the movie, "Father of the Bride." Everything home is immaculate and well cared for... so dreamy :)
We ended the day with an evening walk.
I am so thankful for days like these that we get to spend together as a family!
I'm excited for this week and what it holds :)
My piano students begin this week, another football game and a few other things I'll share about later on in the week.
Hope everybody had a great weekend!
Happy Monday :)
Almost forgot... Trav's new work computer is an Apple so I've been using it lately. I know that everybody who has an Apple prefers them. But at what point do you prefer them? So far I am NOT impressed and still prefer my Dell. Thoughts?!

Maryland will become the 19th state to approve medical marijuana. Governor Martin O'Malley will sign the legislation at a ceremony Thursday.
The medical pot bill establishes "academic medical research centers" that will act as dispensaries for qualified patients. However, it is unclear when the program will be fully operational. Some have projected that Maryland will not implement the program until 2016.
The bill requires all participating medical research centers to specify the ailments they would treat as well as the criteria that would qualify a patient for medical marijuana. Additionally, medical centers must turn over all data on patients and caregivers to both the health department and law enforcement, which has raised serious concerns amongst medical cannabis advocates.
Nonetheless, the measure is a victory for medical pot as Governor O'Malley previously opposed such a program based on his concern that state employees implementing the program could face federal prosecution – the same excuse Governor Jan Brewer used to delay Arizona's medical pot program.
In fact, O'Malley only decided to support the marijuana measure after it was amended to allow him to suspend the pot program if it is later determined that state employees could face prosecution from the feds.
Currently 19 states and the District of Columbia have legalized medical marijuana and two states, Washington and Colorado, have legalized recreational pot.

I was intrigued by the picture of the twin-downtube frame 45 racer lately posted in the foot-shift thread.
I do know that H-D produced a limited number ( probably 25 ) of a bike listed as the DAH in the late 20s or early 30s, incorporating a special ohv conversion and in at least some cases, a special twin down-tube frame. At least one bike appears to have been fitted with a springer fork converted to trailing-link operation. Given the detail differences between the remaining specimens, I rather get the impression that it was really a series of factory competition bikes using the ohv conversion engine as the only assembly common to them all.
the bike shown on here has a very modern-looking frame which appears to be an all-welded tubular frame, as far as can be seen. The rear axle detail appears to have a flat axle plate with straight tubes welded along the top and bottom, much as modern custom frames often have.
Does anyone know anything about this frame or any contemporary units?

Upon ringing the bell at this four-room B&B on a Georgian terrace in one of Cheltenham's best squares, the door opened and I encountered a man wearing bright emerald trousers. They belonged to Jonathan Sellwood, one of the co-owners of Thirty Two. He was also wearing a white belt, white trainers and a grey-blue shirt. Several buttons are undone. "Welcome! Welcome!" he said, flamboyantly waving an arm inwards — he had a huge watch on his wrist.
"Enter! Enter!"
So I did. I was soon walking up stairs on a plush ruby carpet to my attic room.

Did you know that a baby' first foods should be egg yolk and not a cereal?
I don't know how or why this information slipped through the cracks, and why on God's green earth that pediatricians and a whole host of other "professionals" recommend you should give your baby rice cereal or oatmeal as their first foods.
Rice cereal or oatmeal is about the worst possible thing you could give your baby. It's way up there with putting grape soda in a baby bottle, or letting them crunch on cheetos. Now, if you gave your baby rice cereal, don't freak out. Don't spiral into a depression either from the guilt. How were you supposed to know that babies don't have the enzymes to digest grains?!
It was only by chance that I got this information before Penelope was eating solids. I could have very easily given her grains as her first foods. When I was a nanny, I was mixing up oatmeal cereal for my babies, just like everyone else. But I thank God that her digestion was spared, especially knowing what I know now (after reading this book) about the poor digestion she inherited from me (which I inherited from my mother and grandmother) and her increased probability of having autism, ADHD, bi-polar and a host of other digestion-based disorders (that run in my mother's side of the family).
If your child has inherited a good digestion, then you could introduce grains at about age 2, or when their second-year molars come in. That's the biological sign that their bodies are now able to produce amylase, the digestive enzyme needed to digest grains and carbs. Up until that point, they don't have it in their system, and grains will sit in their digestive tract and rot or leach into their blood stream, causing all kinds of auto-immune inflammatory reactions like eczema.
If your kid is like Penelope and got the short end of the stick digestion wise, you will need to be really careful about diet and limit grains completely or as much as possible. And definitely be 100% gluten free.
So what should a baby eat when it's time to introduce solids?
It's really simple – egg yolks.
First you get some really good eggs. By that, I mean eggs that are pasture-raised and from a local farm. If you don't think there are pastured, farm-fresh eggs in your area, ask around, you will be surprised at how many people are keeping chickens these days and have some eggs to spare.

Most 3D printing projects start with a 3D model of some kind. Slicing programs transform the model into gcode. The gcode file contains the commands that actually drive your printer. There are different ways to slice a model and sometimes you want to use more than one on a single model. I've been working on a way to make that easier.
When you slice a 3D printing model, you can select different attributes for the resulting gcode file. For example, you might set the slicer to produce different infill density, temperatures, or print speeds. These settings can have a big impact on your printing results. For example, a piece that needs high strength might require a denser infill than some trinket or key chain. You might want an artistic piece to have a finer layer height than some internal part for some gadget no one will ever see.
One Size Fits All?
The problem is that for most open source slicers, these settings will apply to the entire model. Cura has some plugins that can change settings at different Z heights, and Slic3r can vary layer height, but in the general case, what you set for the slicer will apply to the entire model. Of course, a gcode file is nothing more than a text file, so if you are industrious, you can manually merge two or more files into one.
A manual merge is a pain, which is why I wrote gblend. It can stitch together gcode files to get various effects. The program takes multiple gcode files in as inputs and can combine them in different ways. The most useful feature allows you to get a certain number of layers from each source file and combine them into a single print. Measurements are in millimeters, so you don't have to worry about layer numbers. The entire process is much easier than anything else I've come across.

TUPELO – The Mississippi Department of Transportation plans to build a new district office in Tupelo.
The new district office will be in front of the current building, which is at the top of a hill on North Gloster Street in Tupelo.
The current building, built in 1959, will be torn down once the new 35,000-square-foot office is completed, according to district engineer Bill Jamieson.
The new building will be almost triple the size of the current MDOT district office. The project is scheduled to be finished in June 2012.
Jamieson said the new multimillion-dollar office is needed because the current building is more than 50 years old, is not handicap accessible and has mold and air conditioning problems.
The building also doesn't meet fire codes, he said.
Jamieson and Northern District Commission Bill Minor declined to specify the amount budgeted for the project, for which bids will be taken next week. However, Minor said MDOT spends less than 1 percent of its annual budget, which was more than $1 billion this year, on buildings throughout the state.
Minor added that the district offices throughout the state are being updated. New ones have opened in Hattiesburg and McComb, he said, and the one in Batesville was remodeled.
Minor expects the new Tupelo office to be similar to the Hattiesburg office.
Said Jamieson, "We were content that building a new one was cheaper than refurbishing the current one."
The district's administrative work is done at the Tupelo office, where about 40 people work. He expects the number to grow as additional bridge inspectors are hired to meet new inspection requirements.

By Paul Ben-Itzak
Copyright 2003 The Dance Insider
PARIS -- She's been
out with an injury since September, but it took only one night to
remind the Paris Opera Ballet audience that Aurelie Dupont remains
the company's reigning ballerina, a dancer who communicates not
by flourishing fouettes but by a presence of body and soul that
engages her audience as surely as it pushes her surrounding players
beyond themselves. The ballet was Kenneth MacMillan's 1974 "Manon"
(to music by Massenet), the occasion was technically part of the
international MacMillan celebration, but most of all, Tuesday's
performance at the Garnier celebrated the transformative power of
a ballerina.
Despite the havoc wreaked
on the men who swirl around her like moths to flame, Manon, as envisioned
by Abbe Prevost in his 1731 "L'Histoire de Chevalier Des Grieux
et de Manon Lescaut" and by MacMillan, is essentially guileless.
It takes a guileless ballerina to portray her truly, sidestepping
a narrative which might imply contrivance: She falls as easily into
a liaison with the young des Grieux as she is then lured away from
his bed by the jewels and furs (not to mention a handsome present
to her brother, Lescaut) offered by Monsieur de G.M., before returning
to des Grieux. Coaxed by Manon and Lescaut, des Grieux cheats at
cards against Monsieur de G.M. the ruse is discovered, Lescaut shot
and killed, and Manon sent off to a penal colony in New Orleans
with Lescaut following as her 'husband.' He rescues her from the
grasps of a lecherous jailer, only to see her die, exhausted, in
As in her mentally retarded
in Mats Ek's version of the ballet of the same name, Dupont uses
her radiant innocence, this time to help us see the story from Manon's
innocent perspective. She eagerly accepts M. de G.M.'s furs and
his embrace, but can't depart with him without stopping to smell
the sheets on which she and des Grieux have just made love. Of course
that's MacMillan's choreography, but we believe it because Dupont
makes it a private, not melodramatic moment. When she accepts Lescaut's
suggestion to enlist des Grieux in the rigged poker game, handing
him some cards to hide in a pocket, it's after she's re-accepted
him as her lover, thus the poker game seems a practical way to give
them some means before she deserts M. de G.M. In the end, when she
tries to keep up with des Grieux as they flee the authorities, running
up and down the stage after him with flagging strength, it's as
much to please him as to save her own skin. And, demonstrating the
way Dupont invests her whole body, not just legs arms and face with
a character and an action, we see her exhaustion not through feint
steps but a limpness gradually spreading through all her muscles.
The couple is fleeing
because des Grieux has just stabbed the magistrate as he made moves
on Manon. This deed is not just accepted as a fait accompli by Manon,
who returns to and lingers over the body in disbelief that he's
dead, a regret -- not just that they're in trouble, but that he's
killed a man -- that infects des Grieux as well.
And here's the other
marker of a true ballerina that Dupont demonstrates: upping the
ante for her fellows. Dupont's des Grieux Tuesday fell to Jean-Guillaume
Bart, a principal with a clean form but who all-too-often displays
an anti-septic aspect. Opposite (and reacting to) Dupont, what normally
seems lack of expression came across as tense, struggling containment,
for example as a flustered des Grieux weaves around the parlor of
the bordello where the bejeweled Manon and M. de G.M. have appeared.
Or when, kneeling downstage center as the curtain falls, he cradles
the just-expired Manon in his arms and across his lap and we see
his lips move in agony as he keans over her death.
Also upping the anti
-- in perhaps the most important role, kinetically -- was Kader
Belarbi as Lescaut. After he enters the bordello with des Grieux
already inebriated, what ensues in Lescaut's duet with his mistress
(Stephanie Romberg) is not slapstick but, really, a study in the
importance of timing and balance to partnering.
Typically, inebriation
is marked on stage by stumbling and perhaps a goofy expression.
But MacMillan -- and Belarbi understands this -- uses it to retard
the whole body and show the effect this has on the partnering. For
example, too late to catch her gracefully, he ends up scooping his
partner up by her armpits with the crooks of his elbows. Walter
Terry, in his "Ballet Guide" (Popular Library, 1977), describes
this duet as "a brilliantly constructed fusion of virtuosic ballet
technique with virtuosic lurchings, falls, and totterings in a scene
which seems to call for the introduction of a new term into the
ballet vocabulary: grand pas d'ivresse (drunkeness)."
With all due credit
for this interpretation to the veteran Belarbi -- who originated
the role when the ballet entered the Paris Opera Ballet repertoire
in 1990 -- the precision of this duet, or the ballet's retaining
it, obviously owes something to Monica Parker, the Benesh notator
(and head of the Benesh organization) who staged it this time around,
assisted by Patricia Ruanne, a former partner to and rehearsal director
for Nureyev. Thus we have yet another demonstration of how critical
dance notation is to retaining choreographic nuance and the choreographer's
intentions. Belarbi learned the role from MacMillan, but future
generations won't have that opportunity, and notation makes sure
correct interpretation is not left to chance.
Speaking of altered bodily states, Raimond Hoghe doesn't hide the
hump on his back, so it's appropriate to began a consideration of
his lecture-performance last week at the Menagerie de verre with
the way that hump affects his carriage. In fact, it makes it hard
to take your eyes of him. I'm not speaking just of when he takes
his shirt off, turns his back to us, and scales around and over
the hump with a green ruler-sized stick. But it adds a lilt to his
gait that makes even a perambulation of the circumference of the
menagerie's concrete space, with no prop but a magnifying glass,
The magnifying glass,
and a doll-house (shades of Dan Hurlin) complete with lawn introduced
later, suggest Hoghe is trying to say something about perspective.
But the most disturbing is not the way he looks, but rather, how
he appears to look at the way he looks. In a section set to Yiddish
singer Joseph Schmidt, Hoghe tells us he identifies with Schmidt,
persecuted by the Nazis because they didn't like his size, because
Hoghe is small too. Before showing an excerpt of a piece on the
effects of AIDS on the body, he 'acknowledges' that he is not beautiful.
Paradoxically, and after
insisting that this is 'not therapy,' the way he then caresses his
naked back with the stick (after telling us some Asian arts use
the stick to circumscribe the performing space) indicates that in
fact, he's quite at home with his body, whatever he may think of
its aesthetic appeal.
Aesthetically, that
gait -- clearly dictated by how the large hump skews his spinal
column and/or hips, and it is large -- takes even an ordinary piece
of silliness such as a '60s-style go-go dance and makes it magical.
(The music -- recordings by Edith Piaf, Cass Elliot, Josephine Baker,
Marlene Dietrich, Dalida, Jacques Brel, and others -- also helps.)
Just before this performance,
I'd been worrying over how now that little chunks of my teeth seem
to be falling off monthly, nobody would ever love me. (There's that
growing liberty paunch, too; running, even all the way up the stairs
to Sacre Coeur, doesn't really help you lose weight if you reward
yourself with a chocolate-almond-pistachio patisserie.) But after
I left this performance -- in which a man so obviously beautiful
seemed to think he wasn't -- and made my way to the Grands Boulevards,
suddenly I was a chick magnet. A diner stopped conversing with her
date to stare at me; a beautiful biker stopped in-flight to flirt.
Dance, and its interpreters, as both Dupont and Hoghe reminded me,
has the power to impress us not just with the beauty and expression
of the dancer's body but the beauty of our own bodies, in all their
expressions, and with all their idiosyncrasies.
Aurelie Dupont -- catch
her while you can, dance insider! -- interprets the title role of
"Manon" again Sunday afternoon at the Garnier Opera House, with
the same lead cast. Because of a national day of strikes, tonight's
performances of "Manon" at the Garnier and the "Spectacle de Ballets"
by Maurice Bejart at the Bastille may be cancelled. For updates,
in France call 01 44 61 59 63. Raimond Hoghe performed as part of
the Inaccoutumes 15 festival, which continues tonight at the Menagerie
de verre with Myriam Gourfink.

Ashill death: Woman remanded
Live updates
Wells-Burr murder convictions: Police statement
This was a wicked crime committed against a bright and innocent young woman who had her whole life ahead of her. Rafal Nowak, Anna Lagwinowocz and Tadevz Dymtryszyn took both Catherine's and her family's future away from them on the night they carried out this calculated killing. They then tried to cover their tracks and mislead us in a bid to get away with what they had done.
Murder is a terrible crime but what makes this worse is the intricate planning that took place while Nowak pretended to care about Catherine – playing the doting boyfriend while plotting to take her life for a few thousand pounds. Their plan unravelled despite their best attempts to mislead us and today they have been found guilty of Catherine's murder.I would like to pay tribute to Catherine's family who have remained strong and dignified throughout. Their support to the investigate team has been invaluable.
While the verdict/sentence will never bring Catherine back I hope it goes some way in providing some closure knowing that justice has been done. Finally I'd like to thank our first rate prosecution team led by the CPS here in Bristol who coordinated a complicated and challenging case through to today's final conclusion.
Wells-Burr prosecutor's statement
"We have worked closely with Avon and Somerset police throughout this extremely complex investigation. This investigation was meticulous. By piecing together numerous pieces of evidence the prosecution team were able to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Rafal Nowak, Anna Lagwinowicz and Tadevsz Dmytryszyn were guilty of this ruthless murder motivated by greed."
Pictures: Three convicted of murdering Catherine Wells-Burr
A jury has found two men and a woman guilty of killing Somerset woman Catherine Wells-Burr.
Her former boyfriend Rafal Nowak, Anna Lagwinowicz and Tadevsz Dmytryszyn ad all denied the murder of the twenty three year old, but a jury today decided that they had committed the crime.
Picture: Catherine's family giving statement to the media
Killers plot to leave false trail for investigators
The defendants had spent months leaving a false trail for detectives before the murder, creating fake profiles for Miss Wells-Burr on adult websites and sending texts to her phone from a supposed mystery lover.
Business graduate used a number of social networking websites and at first Nowak and Lagwinowicz had attempted to lure the 23-year-old into flirting with other men, by targeting her accounts with suggestive messages.
But their plan was thwarted when Catherine either ignored the messages or replied "I have a boyfriend, leave me alone".
The killers instead launched a number of fake profiles for Miss Wells-Burr to leave a false trail for officers investigating after her death.
After their arrest Anna Lagwinowicz made another attempt to cover her tracks from prison, attempting to send a fake anonymous letter to prosecutors that claimed Rafal Nowak had first tried to hire a hit man to kill her.
When this failed, the letter stated, he decided to murder Miss Wells-Burr instead and plant evidence to point the death squarely at Lagwinowicz's hands.
However her scheme backfired when prosecutors were told by her cell mate about the letter and instead used details contained in the note to compile further evidence for her prosecution.
Family tribute to 'inspirational and beautiful Catherine'
The family of Catherine Wells-Burr said that they are "devastated by the betrayal" of Rafal Nowak who has been found guilty of her murder.
In a statement her family paid tribute to the. "inspirational, amazing, caring, kind, intelligent young woman."
Leanne, Phil and I are here today because of the cruel, callous, wicked, evil and sickening act of murder against "Our beautiful Catherine."
Catherine was an inspirational, amazing, caring, kind, intelligent young woman, who had her whole life ahead of her with so much potential after gaining her First Class Bachelor of Honours Degree in Business Management at Bath Spa University. We were all very proud of her and the person she had become.
The hatred shown to her has truly shocked us, especially the hatred shown by Rafal Nowak, a man who was meant to have loved her.
His betrayal to our family has devastated us. We treated him like a son and family member.
Anna Lagwinowicz has been devious, manipulative and calculating, her actions to create such sickening false profiles of Catherine demonstrate this and as a result these evil people have made us question our judge of character and trust in people - we trust no-one.
Our world as we knew it has fallen apart. Our lives used to be fun, full of laughter and love. We can see no future without "Our Beautiful Catherine". We are heart broken. No prison sentence will ever be enough. In this country life is not life and we feel it should be.
We are the ones facing the life sentence without her.
Wells Burr: Three convicted to be sentenced next week
All three people convicted for the murder of 23-year-old Somerset woman, Catherine Wells-Burr, will be sentenced on Monday morning at 10am at Bristol Crown Court.
Trio killed woman after months of plotting
A cheating Polish factory worker has been found guilty of murdering his British girlfriend after months of plotting with his jealous secret lover and her uncle.

With her death the three defendants has hoped to secure a £123,000 life insurance payout and a half share of a £137,000 two-bedroom house.
The murder was the result of months of secret meetings and phone calls between Nowak and Lagwinowicz, with Miss Wells-Burr oblivious to her part in the so-called love triangle.
Wells-Burr conviction: How the jury voted
A jury has found three people guilty of the murder of Somerset woman Catherine Wells-Burr.
The 23-year-old was murdered by her boyfriend Rafal Nowak and two accomplices, who then burnt her body in her car.
- Rafal Nowak, Catherine's Boyfriend - Jury voted unanimously
- Anna Lagwinowicz, Nowak's ex lover - Jury voted with majority (10:2)
- Tadevsz Dmytryszyn, uncle of Lagwinowyczm - Jury voted with majority (10:2)
Wells-Burr jury find all three defendants guilty
A jury has found two men and a woman guilty of killing Somerset woman Catherine Wells-Burr.
Her former boyfriend Rafal Nowak, Anna Lagwinowicz and Tadevsz Dmytryszyn ad all denied the murder of the twenty three year old, but a jury today decided that they had committed the crime.

This data set contains North Pole Environmental Observatory (NPEO) Aerial CTD Survey data. It includes conductivity, temperature, depth (CTD), pressure, salinity, potential temperature, and density data, which were collected yearly in the Arctic Ocean as part of the NPEO. Investigators landed a helicopter or skiplane on the arctic sea ice and took measurements using a Seabird SBE-19 SeaCAT with a portable winch. They processed the data using the SEASOFT recipe to minimize salinity spiking and correct for a thermal lag of the conductivity cell. Certain constants were determined by empirical trial, which differed slightly for each year.
The NPEO is a year-round, automated scientific observatory, deploying various instruments each April in order to learn how the world's northernmost sea helps regulate global climate. It consists of a set of unmanned scientific platforms that record oceanographic, cryospheric, and atmospheric data throughout the year. More information about the project is available at the project Web site. NPEO data are in tab-delimited ASCII text format.

TC TO JOHN A. CARLYLE ; 5 August 1843; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18430805-TC-JAC-01; CL 17: 10-12
Scotsbrig, 5 August, 1843— (Saturday)
Dear Brother,
Mr Chorley and you, I think, would get a little taste of rain before you reached Sandon Terrace:1 I hope you neither of you caught damage by your hospitable escort of me. I heard rain pattering on the deck before you had time to be home.
As for me I at first in vain essayed sleeping in that upper shelf of the cabin; men were snoring, men were talking, men were drinking; it was the nastiest shop in all Nature: I was twice aroused from incipient sleep by some loud sound or other; and then, about half past three, gave up the attempt, finding that the ship was now about departure, and that I might have leave to smoke a cigar in the open air. Liverpool and the Sea and environs lay all grey-visible, the lights growing pale everywhere; no rain, but the world all wet as a sponge: I surveyed with many meditations the objects by land and sea, and thought of the good friends and complicated kind relations that existed for me in that region once all foreign. The cigar fairly over I returned to my shelf in the Ship's belly again, and there in spite of very fate did fall asleep for four good hours; reawakening to the sight of St Bee's Head,2 and one of the beautifullest mornings, which held up into a rainless, often beautifully brilliant day, and enabled me to pass the weary hours of hovering and hanging off in the shallows of the Solway with tolerable comfort after all. It was past five before we got to Annan-foot; neither Jamie nor any soul that I had ever seen before was there recognisable. The Letter which I put into the receiving office in Bury Street before 3 o'clock had not been forwarded (as I conjecture) to the General Office till the time for the London Mail: at least it had not got to Ecclefechan; for Jamie had an express over at the right hour in the morning, who found nothing! I got a glass of brandy and water, at Benson's,3 with a biscuit, for dinner; and then a Gig, which brought me up handsomely enough about half past seven to our Mother's door: she herself and Jenny running down to welcome me, as a right glad arrival tho' an unexpected one. This is my travel's history since we parted in the Clarence Dock.
Our good Mother seems wonderfully lively and cheerful, tho' she looks a good deal paler than when I was last here. She speaks about all things, about Alick too, in her old rational and peaceable manner. Jennie is active, orderly; has the children well under command. I think great improvement might be made in our Mother's diet, were there one of proper knowledge and authority here to do it. Isabella is weaker than when you went away; she lies mostly in bed; they have a wet-nurse for the child.4 Of Jamie I have not yet seen very much; he was from home last night, "buying lambs"; and did not return till I was almost ready for bed: "the price of lambs has fallen one half," lower than he ever saw it before; he struggles along, be the price and prices what they may. Ben Nelson, as I learned from my Gig-driver, has lost his place (the Gig-driver knew not why at all), and a Stranger from Edinr is there in his stead.5
As for me I feel terribly smashed; and altogether decided, for one thing, on having rest now for a space, and doing nothing. You are partly expected here, desired here and there is still room enough for you. I said, it seemed to me likeliest you would go by Darlington and return before long thro' Carlisle. Perhaps this very evening there may be some news of you? If you be still with Mr Chorley, offer him my very kind regards for all his at[ten]tions6 to us. He seems to me a really superior man, who in spite of all obstructions will utter himself yet in some profitable way, if he have years given him.
I wish before quitting Liverpool you would go to the Tobacconist in Bury Street (where Arbuckle7 and we were), and buy me three shillings worth of their cheap cigars ("C.H."s I think they call them); you get ten for a shilling: they are the cheapest going, and much better than any of the thrice-wretched "Havannahs" tapsters offer you in inns. Ten of them yesterday proved a real convenience to me. Also do not forget fusees!—
I hope, before long, some one of your many possibilities will ripen for you into the likeness of a feasibility; you will then, following it out in spite of whatever may obstruct, feel much happier than you do.
I am in no case to write; have already written fully three times as much as I counted on, and must cease now.
Ever your affectionate
T. Carlyle
My Mother is very proud of the two Books you have sent her; and is at this very moment deep in one of them, which I have cut up for her.
We have every symptom of a wet night!—

Breaking: Rich Are Rich Again, Poor Still Poor
The "new normal," it turns out, is pretty much the same as the old normal.
Remember when the recession first happened and everyone was like, Whoa. This is such a reality check! We are not going to live the same way as we used to! From now on, Everything Will Be Different. As it turns out, that was pretty much the same as saying irony was dead after 9/11. From Bloomberg:
"Sales are up at Tiffany & Co. and Coach Inc., buoyed by demand for $6,000 diamond pendants and $1,200 leather handbags as a stock-market surge pads the wallets of the wealthy. At the other end of the economic spectrum, Wal-Mart Stores Inc., the world's largest discount retailer, reports 'everyday Americans' are living paycheck to paycheck as they await an improvement in job prospects."
The "new normal," it turns out, is pretty much the same as the old normal.

These ain't your babushka's nesting dolls. The Burlesque Russian Doll Set ($36) includes seven painted, wooden dolls in various states of undress, so you can let her bare all or keep her bundled up. Personally, we're impressed with her ability to keep her cigarette holder firmly in place throughout the whole routine - they don't teach you that at pole dance workout classes.
Can you tell me how much delivery would be please.

cron vs. 'at': run command at varying intervals with self-registering 'at'
By Katsumii-Oracle on Nov 06, 2009
First I thought I run ping every 6 hours via 'cron'. But I want to ping more often once server is detected down and until it comes back up.
So, I came up with this self registering 'at' script. This begins pinging the server in incremental backoff intervals once it's detected down. Starts at 1 minute, and then 2 minutes. 3,4,5... If you replace "+1" wit "\*2", it will do exponential backoff. 1,2,4,8,16...
$ cat ~/misc/myServerPing.at # THISFILE should be full path or relative from $HOME # Run this in bash by ". {this file}" THISFILE=misc/myServerPing.at INTERVAL=1 curl --silent --connect-timeout 8 http://ourserver.sun.com | grep "Our critical page" > /dev/null if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then date | mailx -s "Failed ping to ourserver" firstname.lastname@example.com sed "s/\^\\(INTERVAL=\\)[1-9]\*$/\\\\1$(($INTERVAL+1))/" $THISFILE | at now + $INTERVAL minutes > /dev/null 2>&1 else at now + 360 minutes < $THISFILE > /dev/null 2>&1 fi

This Victorian, silver, Scottish agate serpent pin is circa 1850. Perhaps the rarest figural formal to find in Scottish agate jewelry, this is a fine example. Prince Albert presented Victoria with a snake ring symbolizing eternal love upon their betrothal. The people became fascinated with the symbolism, as well as the beauty of form and lovely pieces of jewelry were created to meet the demand . Queen Victoria's frequently visited her beloved Balmoral Castle wearing Scottish jewelry and dressing her children in tartans. The populace joined her appreciation and the Scottish jewelry industry became quite successful. M en wore the traditional forms and woman figurals, love-knots bracelets and earrings.
This particular snake brooch, has a beautiful choice of stones, and the shaped, overlapping agates realistically replicate the undulating body of a snake. Curled and graceful, it remains a symbol of Scottish artistry as well as enduring love.
It measures 2 1/4 inches across X 2 3/4 inches down. The back has a maker's mark of MC. It has a replacement clasp, an original T_bar and pin stem, as well as an attached safety chain. There is a small chip in the bloodstone, under the silver right eye that I actually had never noticed until taking these photos.
Rare and timeless, Scotland circa 1850.

Manifolded fume hood exhaust in complex laboratory buildings can provide substantial energy and first-cost savings. A manifolded system also offers opportunities for energy recovery, flexibility, redundancy, and better air quality. Neuman (1987) compares manifold and individual systems: "Proponents (of individual exhaust systems) feel that the isolation provided by the individual ducts and dedicated fume hood fans is worth the expenditure of cost and sacrifice of floor space," but "the individual fume hood scheme results in lower energy efficiency, more maintenance, and more roof penetrations." However Nelson (1986) points out that "The primary reason for using the individual system is that there is something unusually hazardous in the exhaust from the fume hood." Experience has shown that central exhaust systems are appropriate in large laboratories and in buildings with large numbers of fume hoods as well as in multi-floor, multi-section buildings. [Charneux, 2001] [Rydzewski, 1999] [Crockett, 1999] [Neuman, 1987]
Wendes (1990) stresses the point that, "...manifolded exhaust systems are characterized by lower energy consumption than individual fume hood systems." A single exhaust fan, with a back-up unit, in an optimized duct system has higher energy efficiency than numerous lower power fans working independently. The addition of any new fume hood would result in only a slight increase in the required energy of the manifolded system versus the energy required to operate a new independent exhaust system. [Neuman, 1987]
The central manifold presents an opportunity to recover the energy value contained in the conditioned air that is being exhausted from the laboratories. There are numerous design and operational challenges and problems with recovering this energy including: corrosion of the devices, added pressure drops for the air moving systems, increased maintenance costs, operational durability in the form of continued beneficial use, and control complexity, to name a few. See Chapter 5, for expanded review of heat recovery systems.
Secondary benefits of the manifolded fume hood exhaust systems can help in the decision to incorporate this design approach. They include:
Fume dilution
Fume Hood Manifold Flexibility
Manifold limitations

Candidate "Spreading Bull" vs Professor Ward Churchill
Recently it has come to light, Massachusetts US Senate Candidate Elizabeth Warren, has been claiming minority status as a Native American, even though she might be only 1/32 Cherokee.
The Boston Herald reported Warren listed herself as a minority from 1986 to 1995, in the Association of American Law Schools' annual directory.
The education industry is the incubator of affirmative action programs, set asides, special dispensations and hiring based on ethnicity. So when someone claims minority status as a "Native American", doors may open to them where they would normally be closed to others. What a bragging right for an educational institution to have a real Native American on their faculty
Previous employers say that her minority status claim had no bearing on her employment…You don't say! Those employers, all academic institutions include: University of Pennsylvania, University of Texas, University of Houston Law Center and presently Harvard law School.
Warren claims she used the status as a minority in hopes of being invited to a luncheon, or something.
Of course Warrens claims of being 1/32 Cherokee, seems to be 1/32 more than another infamous academic tribe mate, ex Professor Ward Churchill, the former "ethnic studies" Professor at the University of Colorado. Churchill was fired from his post after making claims that the victims of 9/11 were "little Eichmanns", or Nazis and he Considered America to be a genocidal nation.
Churchill was another "academic" who took advantage of the system by falsely claiming to be an American Indian in order to qualify for an affirmative action teaching position in Ethnic Studies. Special dispensations were made for Churchill to get this position.
In 2005 the Rocky Mountain News published a genealogy of Churchill, and reported "no evidence" that he had even "a single Indian ancestor." A Denver Post genealogical investigation drew the same conclusion.
Dennis Miller opined that these academics may be descendant's of the Great Chief "Spreading Bull".
If we are going to breakdown our ethnic backgrounds into 1/32 parts in order to gain special status, then it seems we can all lay claim to some sort of heritage, no matter how infinitesimal it may be.

The Park City Council on Thursday night narrowly approved a developer's request to build a movie studio complex at Quinn's Junction, a split vote that was indicative of the troubles that leaders have long had with the idea.
City Councilors Liza Simpson, Cindy Matsumoto and Alex Butwinski cast the votes in favor of the project. Dick Peek and Andy Beerman dissented. A split vote appeared likely as the meeting approached. Peek and Beerman, during a meeting last week, seemed unconvinced that the project fit well with City Hall's growth blueprints, which are outlined in a document known as the General Plan.
The vote was in favor of a firm called Quinn's Junction Partnership, the landowner. The City Council approved both the annexation of a little more than 29 acres into the Park City limits and development plans at the site totaling 374,000 square feet. The acreage is situated at the southwest corner of the U.S. 40-S.R. 248 interchange east of Prospector.
Raleigh Studios, a Hollywood studio, will anchor the project. It has other locations in Southern California, Louisiana, Georgia, Michigan and Hungary, according to the Raleigh Studio website. The Park City project will also have a hotel, an entertainment center and a digital-media center.
Greg Ericksen, whose family trust owns Quinn's Junction Partnership, said afterward Raleigh Studios has signed a 20-year lease at the location with a renewal option after the first 20 years.
"I think we're welcome. I feel welcome," he said.
Ericksen said he wants to break ground on the first studio-related building this year.
City Hall and Quinn's Junction Partnership engaged in a sped-up round of talks in the winter and spring after the developer and Summit County deadlocked on the proposal. The county and the developer reached a settlement that called for Quinn's Junction Partnership to attempt to annex the land into Park City. If Park City had not annexed the land, Summit County leaders had agreed to approve a similar project at the location. State leaders have signaled their support for the project as a means to boost Utah's film industry.
Annexation and development deals as ambitious as the one approved Thursday night sometimes take years for City Hall to process. Quinn's Junction Partnership won its approval in a few months as a result of City Hall's willingness to work under an abbreviated timeline.
The Park City Planning Commission earlier forwarded the project to the City Council with a negative recommendation. The lower panel made its recommendation against the project on a split vote, 4-2.
The critics cited a series of concerns, including traffic, the layout of the parking lots, the buildings themselves and the location along the S.R. 248 entryway. Park City leaders have attempted to protect the S.R. 248 entryway over the years from S.R. 224-like development patterns through conservation purchases and largely limiting project approvals to institutional and nonprofit uses.
There does not appear to be widespread public interest in the discussions. Only a handful of people testified during Planning Commission and City Council hearings. The speakers were split, with some, including those who work in the film industry, touting the project as a boon for Park City and others worrying about issues like wildlife habitat. The supporters also talked about job creation and spending tied to the studio.
Mike Sweeney, whose family has holdings on Main Street and is a partner in the Treasure acreage overlooking Old Town, told the elected officials on Thursday night the studio project complements Park City's tourism industry. Sweeney was the only person from the public to testify on Thursday.
City Hall, which was a party to the talks between Summit County and the developer that led to the annexation request, won concessions from Quinn's Junction Partnership that Mayor Dana Williams and the majority of the City Councilors saw as critical. They included protections for the Sundance Film Festival from competition at the studio complex and restrictions on the designs of the project.
The development team told the elected officials during the meeting the project would be built much differently if the land remained outside the city limits. They said the buildings would take up more space because they would not be as tall, there would be more parking spots and the architecture of the project would not be as tightly regulated.
The City Council on Thursday night spent time on details like the environmental features of the project and the route of a trail through the development.
