Due to lightning, downpours, and darkness, the first round of the 2012 IIAC Men's Golf Championships at Bos Landen Golf Club has been suspended.
Six golfers were unable to complete their opening round of play before play was called for the day. Those individuals will attempt to wrap up their round beginning at 7:30am on Saturday. The second round is scheduled to tee-off at 9:00am, weather permitting.
Senior Mitch Brunick is tied for the clubhouse lead to highlight the day for BVU. He's tied with Central's Matt Vegter after each posted rounds of 9-over 80. They lead Wartburg's Lance Johnson by one stroke. Kyle Auffert and Jaron Smool are each tied for ninth for the Beavers. Auffert was the team's top finisher in 2011 after placing eighth.
Team scores for the first round are unavailable due to the round still being incomplete.

There's no denying the rich and velvety appeal of a good, strong purple—in fabric, in paints, in fine wine and, for gardeners, in bold flowers, foliage, ripe plums and eggplants. It's a majestic hue, deep and intense. Purple can single-handedly make your garden more dynamic, whether in a themed flower bed, as an accent plant or mixed in a container display.
To harness the power of purple, you first need to understand what it can and cannot do. Although it's not a primary color, you can count on it to be vivid and assertive. The only place purple falters is in dim light, so don't grow it in shade or off in the far distance where it will only recede into the background.
Purple's versatility makes it one amazing color. Perhaps that's why there are so many offerings in purple-hued flowers. And it's the perfect complement for many other colors.
Bright yellow is always a terrific partner, because yellow helps solidify or give heft to purple, yet its regal presence is able to tone down a brassy yellow. Side by side, they are striking and elegant. The same goes for purple with rich hues of red and gold, in autumn or at any other time. Assuming the plants all share the same intensity, the result is jewel-like.
Blues and greens look grand with purple as well, because purple's splendor is able to give them some substance and depth. Picture how fabulous a powdery blue hosta would look alongside 'Plum Pudding' heuchera. Even difficult-to-combine colors go with purple. It's downright electric with orange, its direct opposite on the color wheel. Try purple with that prima donna of garden colors, magenta—you'll be pleased and impressed at the handsome results (it works because both hues have a touch of red in their background). And the flighty colors of pink and chartreuse gain some stability and style when grown alongside purple.
Finally, because purple comes in an array of shades, from almost indigo to violet to lilac, you could devote an entire garden to purple alone. It's a fine idea, and it's sure to look dazzling, provided you include plenty of variety and don't crowd the plants.
There's a surprising range of sources for garden purple. Flowers are the most obvious place to start. Irises (both the bearded types and various species) and clematis come in deep purple. If the accenting "beard" or stamens are a contrasting color, the drama is heightened. A lot of spiky plants are purple, from various annual and perennial salvias to spike speedwell to classic lavender. This growth habit further helps them stand out in a crowded flower bed.
Let's not forget pansies and petunias, old favorites that always supply plentiful true-purple blossoms. There are many more, including numerous spring bulbs and a few flowering shrubs. And when it comes to foliage, you won't have to look far. Green dominates, of course, but perhaps the next most common leaf color is purple. Not only that, it's usually the desirable dark-purple version.
If you want a big purple presence, look to smoke bush or barberry. Otherwise, check out ornamental kales and cabbages, the trailing stems of purple heart, perilla and the similar coleus, and Persian shield, just to name a few. Don't forget the many fabulous purple-leaved heucheras. Tuck any of these into a border or pot in need of purple, and you won't be disappointed.
You can even inject purple into your fruit and vegetable garden areas. Glossy eggplant is the most obvious candidate, but some peppers ripen purple as well. There are plenty of purple berries, including ones we love to eat or make jam from, but also ornamental selections, such as beautyberry and blackhaw or nannyberry viburnums.
Once you become eager to capitalize on purple and come up with exciting combinations, you'll want to keep the show going. The easiest way to assure a long-term display is to use purple-flowered annuals or purple-leaved plants. You can "cheat" a little by using decorative pots that are entirely purple or include purple in their colorful designs, or inject purple accents here and there, such as a purple gazing ball.
It's also possible to coordinate a season-long sequence of purple blooms. Start with early spring-flowering bulbs like crocuses and grape hyacinths, then move on to various irises and lupines. Plenty of purple-flowered perennials can carry the rest of the summer, plus there are some great ones for late season, notably asters and Russian sage. So go ahead...get passionate about purple. It's a color statement on the garden scene. And, as you can see, it's guaranteed to liven up your yard with its powerful punch.

Note that the "hate map" isn´t limited to only conservative-leaning organizations.
That shooting was just the sort of story the MSM loves to hype, especially when they can paint the perp as a right wing gun nut. The way ABCnews reported today on Corkins´ plea (and his plan to attack multiple groups for their opposition to gay marriage) had the flat, hypnotic tone of a radio crop report.It´s like, we´ve got to report this; but if we do it right, readers´ brains won´t wake up enough to remember a word they read...
Someone needs to file a class action lawsuit against the Southern Poverty Law Center. Their Hate Map instigates hate !Some research would show many of their targets were simply accused, not proven acts of hate. The SPL is a Hate Group!

Ball, Hugo
Hugo Ball 1886-1927
German poet, novelist, dramatist, biographer, critic, and diarist.
Ball was a founding member of Zurich Dada. Together with the other members of the early Dada group who met at the celebrated Cabaret Voltaire—Tristan Tzara, Hans Arp, Richard Huelsenbeck, Marcel Janco, and others—Ball led a nihilistic revolt in arts and literature against the dominant, bourgeois social and aesthetic values of Western culture. Though he did not remain a part of the Dada collective for long, Ball wrote and delivered the "First Dadaist Manifesto" in 1916 and produced many expressionistic poems and experimental works, such as the novel Flametti oder vom Dandysmus der Armen (1918) and his diary Die Flucht aus der Zeit. Tagebücher 1912-1921 (1927; Flight Out of Time: A Dada Diary), that are numbered among the most significant Dadaist writings. Following a conversion to Roman Catholicism in 1917, Ball also wrote several religious and political works of a more scholarly nature, including his polemical Zur Kritik der deutschen Intelligenz (1919; Critique of the German Intelligentsia).
Biographical Information
Ball was born in Pirmasens, Germany on 22 February 1886. His father was a shoe salesman, and his mother a profoundly religious woman, whose spirituality was to have a deep impact on Ball throughout his life. After completing high school, Ball became an apprentice leatherworker, acquiescing to his parents' desire that he focus on work rather than academics. Displeased with this occupation, he entered the University of Munich in 1906, where he studied philosophy and wrote a dissertation on Friedrich Nietzsche. His first published work, a satirical drama entitled Die Nase des Michelangelo (1911), was also written in Munich. Determined to pursue a career in the theater, he entered the Max Reinhardt School in Berlin, and between 1910 and 1914 attempted to support himself as an actor and director. Concurrently, Ball began to frequent the cafés of Berlin and Munich, associating with German artists and intellectuals. With the outbreak of war in 1914, Ball enthusiastically enlisted in the German military, but was soon discharged for health reasons. The following year, Ball and his wife, the artist and writer Emmy Hennings, moved to Switzerland. A period of desperate poverty followed, until Ball's transformation of the backroom of a Zurich café into a venue for avant-garde artists, poets, and musicians called Cabaret Voltaire in 1916. That year Ball, clad in a bizarre uniform made of painted cardboard, read an early "sound" poem before the collected audience at the café—an event generally associated with the initiation of the Zurich Dada movement. Ball's official involvement with Dada was relatively short-lived; he defected from the movement by July of 1917, after stating his belief that no attempt to form Dada into an artistic school should be made. During the ensuing decade, Ball produced his principal literary works, and contributed poems and essays to numerous literary journals. Ball died on 14 September 1927.
Major Works
Ball's earliest works include a number of expressionistic lyric poems first published in the journals Die Aktion, Die neue Kunst, and Die Revolution prior to 1915. "Der Henker" combines erotic and religious imagery in a chaotic and near-blasphemous display of the lustful excesses of modern European civilization. Written at the dawn of World War I, "Das Insekt" equates humanity with insects as it forwards the theme of impassioned self-destruction. Another segment of Ball's poetic work includes the so-called "sound" poems, which defy ordinary textual interpretation, and instead are designed to conjure rhythms and associations in the minds of listeners. For instance, Ball described the nonsense lyrics of "Karawane"—which features the line, "jolifanto bambla o falli bambla"—as evocative of the sounds of an elephant caravan. The experimental novel Tenderenda der Phantast, written between 1914 and 1920 but first published in 1967, lacks plot or characters, but is instead an inchoate blending of poetry and prose, religious imagery, and metaphysical musings concerning the artist's precarious place within modern society. Ball presents a similar theme in his more traditional novel Flametti oder vom Dandysmus der Armen (1918). The novel follows Flametti, the vagabond leader of a troupe of impoverished artists and performers, in his attempts to secure work; efforts that ultimately end in the band's dissolution. These early Dadaist works offer a considerable contrast to Ball's later writings, including his attack on German nationalism in Critique of the German Intelligentsia (later significantly revised and republished as Die Folgen der Reformation, 1924) and his Byzantinisches Christentum. Drei Heiligenleben (1923), which contains hagiographies of three Byzantine saints. Ball's other work includes his Flight Out of Time: A Dada Diary, and a biography of his friend, the German writer Hermann Hesse.
Critical Reception
Critical evaluation of Ball's writing has generally focused on the intensely personal and subjective nature of his work, as well as the wide stylistic variety of his output. Some modern commentators have also noted the significant influence of Nietzschean thought on his writings, particularly in regard to irrationality and the modern collapse of traditional morality. Overall, Ball has been viewed as a seminal Dada figure, though critics continue to emphasize his idiosyncratic relationship to the movement. Rex W. Last has written, "for Ball, Dada represented the culmination of his revolt against external authority, and at the same time a means of breaking through the surface appearance to the realms of the spirit beyond. But Dada turned against him and threatened to destroy him."

[In the following reprint of his "First Dada Manifesto," originally delivered in 1916, Ball relates the significance of Dada.]
Dada is a new art movement. One can tell this from the fact that until now nobody knew a thing about it, and tomorrow everyone in Zurich is going to be talking about it. Dada comes from the dictionary. It is terribly simple. In French it means "hobby horse." In German it means "so long," "go fly a kite," "I'll be seeing you sometime." In Romanian: "Yes, indeed, you are right, that's it. But of course, yes, it's a deal." And so forth.
An international word. Just a word, and the word a movement. Very easy to understand. Quite terribly simple. To make an art movement of it must mean that one wants to avoid complications. Dada psychology, Dada Germany cum indigestion and fog paroxysms, Dada literature, Dada bourgeoisie, and yourselves, most honored poets, who are always writing with words but never writing the word itself, who are always writing around the actual point. Dada world war without end, Dada revolution without beginning, Dada, you friends and also-poets, esteemed sirs, manufacturers, and evangelists Dada Tzara, Dada Hülsenbeck, Dada m'dada, Dada m'dada Dada...

SOURCE: "Hugo Ball: A Man in Flight from His Age," in German Dadaist Literature: Kurt Schwitters, Hugo Ball, Hans Arp, Twayne Publishers, Inc., 1973, pp. 62-115.
[In the following essay, Last surveys Ball's life and career, emphasizing "the variety of styles and forms which he adopted."]
Of all the Dadaists, Hugo Ball was the one whose life was the most fraught with physical deprivation and inner tension, and torn between the most violent extremes. And yet, at first sight, it appears somewhat surprising that this should be so, for the usual image of Ball is that of a man reveling in the artistic revolution, rather than of an individual borne along upon a tide of conflict and emotion which he was powerless to control.
To look at most studies of Dada and the avant-garde to date, it would seem almost compulsory to introduce the Zurich movement through Ball's recitation of the first sound poem in the Cabaret Voltaire (despite the fact that the claim to the title of first sound poem is more than a little suspect). In a contemporary illustration, Ball is pictured uncomfortably clad in cardboard between music stands upon which the script of the poem—written in red—reposes. His legs and body are encased in colored cardboard tubes; about his shoulders there hangs a kind of cardboard poncho; and the whole creation is topped by a blue-and-white-striped hat. In this eccentric...

SOURCE: An introduction to Flight Out of Time: A Dada Diary, by Hugo Ball, edited by John Elderfield and translated by Ann Raimes, University of California Press, 1996, pp. xiii-xlvi.
[In the following introduction to Ball's journals, originally published in 1974, Elderfield details Ball's life, explores his relationship to the Dada movement, and evaluates his prose works.]
Die Flucht aus der Zeit, Hugo Ball's diaries for the years 1910-21, has long enjoyed the reputation of one of the seminal documents of the dada movement. Hans Richter has written that of all the dadaists only Ball has so precisely expressed the inner conflicts of that period, and that he knows "of no better source of evidence of the moral and philosophical origins of the Dada revolt."1 And Hans Arp noted that "in this book stand the most significant words that have thus far been written about Dada."2 Ball is widely acknowledged as a major dada figure in his own right. His founding of the Cabaret Voltaire in February 1916 initiated the Zurich movement, and his involvement with sound poetry and with the Gesamtkunstwerk (total art work) left a telling mark in dada circles. And yet, despite this reputation, Ball remains a shadowy figure in histories of dadaism, and his book is known only through those fragments that deal directly with the dada years.3 The major part of Die Flucht...

[In the following essay, originally published in 1975, Auster considers Ball the principal force behind Dada.]
Of all the movements of the early avant-garde, Dada is the one that continues to say the most to us. Although its life was short—beginning in 1916 with the nightly spectacles at the Cabaret Voltaire in Zurich, and ending effectively, if not officially, in 1922 with the riotous demonstrations in Paris against Tristan Tzara's play, Le Coeur à gaz—its spirit has not quite passed into the remoteness of history. Even now, more than fifty years later, not a season goes by without some new book or exhibition about Dada, and it is with more than academic interest that we continue to investigate the questions it raised. For Dada's questions remain our questions, and when we speak of the relationship between art and society, of art versus action and art as action, we cannot help but turn to Dada as a source and as an example. We want to know about it not only for itself, but because we feel that it will help us toward an understanding of our own, present moment.
The diaries of Hugo Ball are a good place to begin. Ball, a key figure in the founding of Dada, was also the first defector from the Dada movement, and his record of the years between 1914 and 1921 is...

SOURCE: "Ball and Nietzsche: A Study of the Influence of Nietzsche's Philosophy on Hugo Ball," in Forum for Modern Language Studies, Vol. XVI, No. 4, October, 1980, pp. 293-307.
[In the following essay, Mann examines the impact of Friedrich Nietzsche's nihilism, observations on morality, emphasis on the irrational, and critique of modern culture on Ball's thought.]
When discussing Hugo Ball's life in his book Begegnungen, Siegfried Streicher (who had worked with Ball on the Freie Zeitung in Berne in 1917) comments on the great influence which Nietzsche's philosophy had on Ball. He writes: "Ball kam ganz aus der geistigen Essenz Nietzsches. Und er hat diese Herkunft nie verleugnen können, auch dann nicht, als er den, der Ecce Homo schrieb, geistig längst überwunden hatte, zu den Heiligen betete und den Teufel mit uralten magischen Formeln auszutreiben begann."1 Streicher wrote the above in 1933: up to the present, however, no-one has developed this insight in any detail. Eugen Egger2 and Gerhardt Steinke3 have both referred vaguely to Ball's desire to put Nietzsche's ideas into practice on leaving university in 1910, and Steinke regards Ball as someone who, like Nietzsche, suffered from an inflated ego, caused by a philosophy of extreme individualism (pp. 121-152).

[In the following essay, Balakian explores the Modernist poetics of Ball, Vicente Huidobro, and Pierre Reverdy.]
Three poets of the early decades of this century shed light on the major paradoxes of modernism. I am not trying to establish this triptych to exercise random intertextuality nor as a basis for a study of influences. Geography separated these poets; the age connected them. From Paris to Zurich, to Santiago and Buenos Aires, the clocks were synchronized. Their affiliation resulted from a common cultural source that nurtured them and that they recognized: the revolution that had occurred in poetics in the previous century and that was to bifurcate modernism in our time.
In the context of modernism these poets have made the following permanent contributions, evidenced both in their poesis and their poetry: they have relied on the power of the image to generate rather than reflect sense or sensation, they have attempted to redefine the apperception of reality, and they have focused their efforts on returning language to what Hugo Ball called its logos-function: "You may laugh, language will one day reward us for our zeal, even if it does not achieve any directly...

SOURCE: An introduction to Critique of the German Intelligentsia by Hugo Ball, translated by Brian L. Harris, Columbia University Press, 1993, pp. vii-xl.
[In the following essay, Rabinbach analyzes Ball's polemic against German nationalism in Critique of the German Intelligentsia, establishing the work's historical contexts and noting its themes and anti-Semitism.]
Hugo Ball's Critique of the German Intelligentsia is simultaneously a historical document and a provocation. A passionate indictment of the German intelligentsia for its chauvinism in the First World War, the Critique is also an extraordinary instance of the messianic politics that inaugurated our epoch. Above all, it is the consummate performance of an extraordinary career that, in only a few years, took Ball from Munich's expressionist avant-garde to the founding of Dada in Zurich, to theological anarchism and antiwar politics in Bern, and, only a year and a half later, to the spiritual refuge of the Catholic faith.
First published in January 1919, the Critique is on one level a historical account of how German religion and philosophy conspired with dynastic absolutism and militarism to produce the disastrous betrayal of August 1914. But in esoteric counterpoint to this prosaic and critical dimension is Ball's theological politics. On this level the book culminates in...

[In the following essay, White explicates four of Ball's Expressionist poems, observing the ways in which these works "offer a compendium of styles and mannerisms and reflect the diversity of Ball's work."]
Ball's poetic gift was given new impetus by theories that gained prevalence during his Munich years. These theories were in turn influenced by his work in the theater: in Munich he became an expressionist poet. Ball was a spectacular expressionist, given to manic exaltation. His poetry, much like Gottfried Benn's Morgue und andere Gedichte (Morgue and Other Poems, 1912), is a "raw" mixture of lyricism and sexual transgression. Leybold characterized Ball's expressionist poetry as "exaltierte Phantastik" (exalted fantasy).1 His first prose texts were aphorisms published in Jugend (Youth, March 1913). Art is intoxication, rapture, Ball writes, "Rausch": "L'art pour l'art is an aesthetic monomania. The artist must have the idea of redeeming the world through ecstasy and fire, or he is witless."2 Ball was influenced by Nietzsche and accepted the notion that Greek tragedy was born of Dionysian ecstasy, and he was also influenced by Bakunin's idea that creativity is necessarily the art of destruction: "The...

Then I will hold you down and spit her percolations all over you until you're as greasy as the day she regrets pushing your big fat ass out her big fat cunt.
Where would you get started with him? Does he have a seminal album?
Great add!!! I'm really optimistic about the lineup this year. I'm getting the itch, I can't wait
Doesn't even matter if you know his music or not, you will still enjoy his show as long as you aren't expecting dubstep. I saw him at Osheaga in 2010 and I had a fucking blast, and the only song I could think of his was 'I can see clearly now, the rain is gone...'.
Saturday right around sunset would be perfect for Jimmy Cliff.
Not an add. Awesome nonetheless.
Disclosure - 1/31 - Stubb's
Neutral Milk Hotel - 2/17 - Moody Theater
Four Tet - 3/1 - The Mohawk
Austin Psych Fest - 5/2 - 5/4 - Carson Creek Ranch
Nice pickup. Will check out his set.
Jimmy Cliff, Swag me out
2010 * 2011 * 2012.1 * 2013.2
I'll be there. reminds me of my youngin days crusin around with my units.
the music is what its all about, you love it just like i love it.
I am very happy about this. I will be singing like a stupid fool.
The thing is, Jimmy Cliff only has 4 songs on this album. They are 4 really great songs, yes, but this is not a Jimmy Cliff album, it's a compilation of various early 70s reggae bands.
So I suggest this instead as the seminal Jimmy Cliff album:
Fui quod es, eris quod sum. I once was what you are, you will be what I am - epitaph carved on Roman gravestones.
Yay! Will be fantastic way to see Jimmy for my first time. Now my mom's gonna want to go.
Awesome performer live and he had an excellent band last time I watched him, however I can't stop thinking of "Up in Smoke" when I see his name or hear his music.
I'm a reasonable man, get off my case....
Highly recommend seeing him.
In 1999, I saw him open for DMB in Arizona. It was pretty effing sweet. That afternoon, a huge sandstorm blew across the entirety of the Valley of the Sun, blotting out everything. Then it started to rain. After awhile, Jimmy Cliff and band took the stage. As they did so, it proceeded to stop raining and the sun came out from behind the clouds. Jimmy Cliff opened the set with I Can See Clearly Now. Good times in the AZ.
06/25 Hot Chip, Tycho, Blackbird Blackbird and Social Studies
07/05 Jim Jeffries
07/26 The Postal Service and Max Cooper
08/04 Phish

09/11 AlunaGeorge
09/18 The Orb
09/24 Wax Tailor
10/25-27 Mountain Oasis Electronic Music Summit
11/01 Iron & Wine
holy shit
I'm at home sick and have been playing Jimmy for the last few hours straight...love this guy's voice and vibe! This would be such a good late afternoon chill set, just relaxing with good friends and good music before nighttime begins (Erykah Badu slot but maybe Outdoor instead). I absolutely love these eclectic video drops, I easily would have overlooked him on the lineup and now he's a must see.
Coachella Weekend #1
2012's first great confirmation.
Never seen him live but I remember being very impressed with the webcast of his Bonnaroo performance. Excited.
Yes. This is very exciting.
Unfuckin'believable!!! Many Rivers to Cross at sunset will be epic.
"Well, that's just like, you know... your opinion, man"
I have been thinking about this all day since I heard the song earlier but I had to goto work. I am checking alot of his stuff out on youtube. I can't wait to see this set

The Placer County Board of Supervisors today approved a resolution that authorized the advertising of bids for a project that will create safer routes for children to take to Sheridan Elementary School. The Sheridan Safe Routes to School Project will entail building multi-use paths on streets leading to the school. Also slated for construction are paths adjacent to the school perimeter, a bus loading area and a four-way stop at the corner of 10th Street and Rioso Road.
The campus, in addition to providing preschool and elementary education, also serves as a collection point for middle and high school students who ride buses to Lincoln. Currently, when walking or riding bicycles to school, children do not have a designated pedestrian and bike area and share the paved streets with automobile traffic.
"I'm excited this project is moving forward and impressed by the collaboration between the Sheridan Elementary School, the Sheridan Municipal Advisory Council (MAC) and the county in shaping this project to meet the needs of the community," said Placer County Supervisor and current Chairman, Robert Weygandt. "The Sheridan Elementary School is a tremendous asset and one I'll continue to work hard to support."
The project came as a result of a grant that was submitted by school principal Kris Knutson several years ago. Knutson said when he first arrived at the school, the biggest complaint he heard was that the kids walked in the street on their way to and from school. When he investigated, he learned that was the only place they could walk as the streets are bordered by ditches.
"We're all very excited for the project to get to this stage," said Knutson. "It's been a long time coming and we're happy to see it come to completion."
The project is 100 percent reimbursable through the Federal Safe Routes to School Program and funding for construction of the project is included in the 2010-11 Fiscal Year budget. The estimated cost of the project is $255,550.

I want to buy a Dell... No, my PC atm: Bought it last Friday and I'm lovin it so far Popped in my SSD ofc.
Ugh. I haven't got the time or inclination to provide support for systems I build for the tech-illiterate.
Of course something's wrong, it's a Dell. Overpriced proprietary garbage. That looks like a s775 chip, why not pick up a cheap s775 board and swap over everything else?
Thats what is going on here. Plus moving to DDR3 in stead of 2. I had some laying around might as well use it
You still have to buy the parts! I'm a bit of a suka when it comes to things like this, I can't help but help people. I've even done screen replacements and such for free. Really need to start charging people (only charged for doing two of the pcs I've built and that was £50 including 3 year support ) Those speakers made me hate you, please send them to me to avoid things becoming awkward between you and I
My thoughts exactly. And while that shot of all those drives is impressive, I can almost guarantee that the first time you have to pop the actual server unit open for a cleaning or RAM upgrade, etc., you'll notice that the motherboard is a Dell proprietary motherboard.
ALL server OEMs use proprietary motherboards. That's actually part of what you get with the price premium... If I wanted a standard form factor I'd go assemble my own. Why is "proprietary" a bad word? Processors use "proprietary" sockets. If you get an Asus Maximus Extreme-z motherboard I have to buy a processor from Intel that is part of a specific lineup if I want to use it. And I guarantee that the first time I had to pop open the server for maintenance/upgrades, I noticed that the proprietary Dell motherboard was setup to be entirely tool-less. (Even the CPU Heatsink latches are toolless). Maybe you can tell me how you'd work hot-swappable power supplies with a non-proprietary motherboard? Blades are nice if everything uses the same few fabrics. But I need 8Gb FC, 16Gb FC, 2 generations of SAS, 1 GbE, & 10 GbE. For that, 2U works pretty darn well!

9:50 am 12/06/13--With the latest warm spell slipping behind us, The Beast is coiled and ready to spring back into winter mode. The snowmakers are fresh, rested, and looking forward to the wee-hours of Friday morning when conditions will again be ripe for the making of snowstorms.
Ski Patrol dropped the rope on the much anticipated Cascade trail Thursday afternoon, and for Friday you can expect the unveiling of upper Bittersweet. Snowmaking will continue on Cascade throughout the day, and spot guns will be running on some open terrain to improve base depth. Machine groomed snow will prevail on Friday with 34 trails scheduled for grooming. Key lifts will open at 9:00 a.m. Cooler weather returning overnight brings with it the possibility of weather related lift and trail delays. Check back here for real time updates and the most accurate lift and trail information. Upper Bunny Buster and Highline will be closed for race training; thanks in advance for your understanding. Work will continue on the Rails 2 Riches venue at the bottom of Highline, so check that out. Speaking of Rails 2 Riches; be sure to stick around Saturday afternoon for the East Coasts's premiere rail jam. Held at the bottom of Highline, Rails 2 Riches features a roster of professional and amateur skiers and snowboarders vying for a $25,000 purse. Weekend Outlook K-1, Snowshed, and Ramshead Base Lodges will be open this weekend with all services, including tickets, rentals, retail and food service. Snow sports lessons for all ages and abilities will be available at Snowshed and Ramshead, and learn-to carpet lifts are scheduled to operate at both base areas as well. Daycare service will be available at Ramshead. With cooler temperatures returning, snowmakers will be back on the job Friday morning and through the weekend. Guns have been repositioned to build depth on open terrain, as well as to continue expansion toward Needles Eye and Bear Mountain. Lower Superstar and Great Eastern are the next likely targets. All operations are weather dependent and, at this time of year, things can change unexpectedly. Keeping your browser pointed right here at killington.com is the best way to stay informed with up-to-the-minute information. We hope that you love the mountain as much as we do, and treat it and fellow skiers and riders accordingly. Please remain in control, courteous and aware. 2013/14 Operating Day: 45

April 12, 2011 — The city and the county have gone back to the drawing boards and started looking at multiple ways to get funding for big public works projects that are resonating with the community.
The city of Susanville is looking at Proposition 84 funds to try and build a brand new park and sports complex off Sierra Road, while the county is working on ways to replace the old Roosevelt Pool building with a new pool complex.
City Administrator Robert Porfiri and County Administrative Officer Tom Stone have both said in order for these projects to be successful, the county and the city must get as much community feedback as possible. In the case of the city, it is actually required to hold open meetings to engage the public in order to even submit an application for Prop. 84 funding.
It's always a good thing when the community at large and those who govern it are made to interact on a more personal level, but both the city and the county could take it a step further.
There was a time when city staff would go out and go door-to-door asking people if they would hook up to natural gas. These days, it might make more sense to see your county supervisors or city councilmembers going from house-to-house asking for input on what you would like to see at a sports park or a geo-thermal heated swimming pool. These are the people we elected to look out for the community's best interests, so it would make sense to see them out there canvassing the area for direction.
It would certainly endear them more to their community than sitting on a pedestal directing their staff to find solutions for what the people want.
There is solid interest for both the pool and the sports complex, but people would really like to see more action from the decision-makers. The last thing the community wants to see is another Joint Powers Authority meeting about a pool where multiple governing boards discuss several options but don't pursue any of them.
Both the pool and the sports complex could lead to stimulation for the local economy as well, from more team sports at the schools to soccer tournaments bringing in people from out of the area. To be a councilmember or a county supervisor who is known for getting their hands dirty to create more opportunity in their respective communities seems like the kind of thing that could get you re-elected.

SAN FRANCISCO--When I first set out to build a better wake-up machine 18 months ago, it did not once occur to me to connect the mini blinds on our bedroom window to the Internet. I want to be very clear about this: I'm not one of those wacko Webcam exhibitionists. My wife and I like our privacy, and those thin pecan strips are all that shield us from the cars and electric buses that creep past the other side of that window day and night. It's just that somewhere along the tortuous path of invention, putting the blinds online seemed the most feasible and elegant way to solve my problem. And now it wouldn't surprise me if one day the drapes in your house--along with the security system and the heat pump and various other appliances--are plugged into the Net, too. You might be surprised at how little technical expertise is needed to create the connecting electronics and software.
For me, the whole thing started with a simple motivation: hate. I hate alarm clocks. My theory is that over millions of years, evolution has hardwired the human nervous system to rouse in two ways. There is the gradual stirring in response to the warming pink glow of sunlight on the eyelids. And there is the startled jolt of adrenaline in response to the roar of a leopard--or the wail of an alarm. That may not be scientific fact, but that is how it feels to me. Besides, researchers in Siberia reported recently that the circadian hormone cycles of experimental subjects who awoke in darkened rooms tended to shift a little later each day. But subjects rising to a simulated dawn held comfortably to a 24-hour cycle.

North Korea in the caveLooking into North Korea has always been illegal in South Korea. Even now, reading the Rodong Shinmun (Pyongyang's propaganda newspaper) or listening to North Korean radio is all but taboo for ordinary people here. To the eyes of many South Koreans, North Korea-watching is like being the slaves in Plato's well-known ``Allegory of the Cave" section of The Republic, trying to see the source of the shadow play or the firelight. The point of the allegory is to describe how reality might be quite different from normal perception. Since Kim Jong-il, the North Korean leader, and his cohorts wrongly assume that the possession of nuclear weapons would resolve any or all outstanding matters, such as diplomatic normalization with Washington in the long run, it is safe to say that the Allegory of the Cave remains the apt description in understanding one of the poorest and most clandestine states in the world. In this vein, Kim's nuclear ambitions bear a striking resemblance to the mentality of the prisoners who live chained to the wall in the dark cave. First, Kim is watching the world as shadows projected on the wall by things passing in front of the firelight behind them and then begins to ascribe forms to these shadows. The ailing leader, aged 70, is looking into the world through the prism of pseudo-reality, which does not correctly explain the true reality, like the shackled citizens who are not permitted to look backward. Second, it is no coincidence that having the fundamental nature of a nationalistic regime in pursuit of military independence, Kim has been widely known to be a very ``bizarre" leader who usually spends more time working at night than in daytime. Some left-leaning pundits are fond of comparing the codger of the Stalinist to a thief who stole the candlelight to read the Bible but they're not aware of the fact that Kim did not give any attention to the wisdom of words in the Bible at all. Instead, it turned out that the moonshiner has successfully finished reading on piles of books related to nuclear weapons program in the dim cave. Furthermore, the dead-on-arrival ``juche," or self-reliance, ideology failed to light up the darkening cave full of brutal inequalities and absolute corruptions. No wonder that North Korea's sclerotic system is blinking red. Third, Kim may believe what he himself saw and experienced only. So even though he is completely freed from his chains and looks backward, he would come to understand that the shadows have no existence of their own that does not derive from the firelight. He acts as if he were a frog in a deep well, where the frog thinks of its own tiny sky as the whole one. In addition, it is not an exaggeration, in my own governmental experiences, to point out that none of the reform-minded apparatchiks around Kim dare to convince the dogmatic dictator that he perceived only illusions for fear of being killed. The nuclear weapons program is a clear allusion to the external guarantees of regime survival. Just as Kim Il-sung, the founder of North Korea, had once rushed into an indigenous nuclear development based on an adaptation of Soviet models out of the fear of the collapse of his regime, so Kim Jong-il has since spent a few decades sparring over what it would take to develop nuclear weapons in the wake of his father's sudden death in 1994. While a few South Korean leaders have played pivotal roles in achieving the miraculously economic liberalization and political democratisation in South Korea, the Kim dynasty in North Korea has failed to rescue the shattered regime from great peril since the internecine 1950-53 Korean War. The cave is no longer a haven for Kim Jong-il and his heir apparent Jong-un, 29, especially in the era of the Internet where the true colour of a Kim should be inevitably revealed over time. Given the North's moribund economy and broken community sinking fast, it is clear that the reclusive leader has eventually failed to sense an undercurrent of the free society by indoctrinating the already brainwashed people with false ideas. More concerned about the uncertain future of the regime rather than about the starving people's fate, his grotto mentality can by no means resolve the worsening famine of the populace without a huge relief from outside, as evidenced in the period of ``Arduous March" in the early 1990s. Yet assuming that the notorious tyrant may later travel out of the cave to witness daylight and look upon the rapidly changing world illuminated by the sun (NOT indicating the late Kim being exultantly acclaimed as the ``Sun" of the nation), Seoul and Washington should be ready to lay the ground for a comprehensive solution to Pyongyang's never-ending lust for advanced nuclear weapons. Above all China's pernicious influence on North Korea is already set in stone. Unless the United States and South Korea alike take it for granted the possession of North Korean nuclear weapons, it is time to smoke the phantom-like leader out of the impoverished cave. Lee Byong-chul is senior fellow at the Institute for Peace and Cooperation, a non-partisan policy advisory body based in Seoul. He can be reached at email@example.com. |

Tuberculosis, or TB, is an infectious bacterial disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which most commonly affects the lungs. It is transmitted from person to person via droplets from the throat and lungs of people with the active respiratory disease. In healthy people, infection with M. tuberculosis often causes no symptoms, since the person's immune system acts to 'wall off' the bacteria. The symptoms of active TB of the lung are coughing, sometimes with sputum or blood, chest pains, weakness, weight loss, fever and night sweats. Tuberculosis is treatable with a six-month course of antibiotics. Factsheet.

It's the moment Sherlock Holmes fans have been waiting for since the inception of Elementary: Moriarty has arrived!
Sherlock Holmes' (Jonny Lee Miller) greatest foe made his first appearance, sort of, last week after calling Sherlock for a long overdue chat — which is an understatement. Moriarty was apparently behind the death of Sherlock's only love Irene Adler (Natalie Dormer), which sent the private eye into a drug-induced downward spiral. Heading into Thursday's episode (10/9c, CBS) and the drama's first season finale next week, TVGuide.com hit up executive producer Rob Doherty to find out the ramifications of Moriarty's introduction and what this means for Irene Adler's arrival on the show...read more
Something you don't expect any NBC show that isn't The Voice to be asking: "Are you better off than a year ago?" Leave it to cockeyed optimist Leslie Knope (the sublime Amy Poehler), the hopeful heart and resilient soul of Parks and Recreation, to set herself up for a smackdown in the too-soon season finale (Thursday, 9:31/8:31c), by posing this question at a public forum that she naively sees as a "victory lap" to celebrate her one-year anniversary in office. While Leslie contends with a Pawnee version of Tea Party-style opposition — in this town, more like "sweet tea," with extra sugar in a 512 oz. cup — Andy (Chris Pratt) adopts his bumbling "Burt Macklin, FBI" persona (always a win) to solve a mystery that could change one of his co-worker's life forever. NBC is certainly better off for sticking with this show as it has improved over the seasons to become the network's most reliably enjoyable comedy — even though this already eventful and possibly pivotal episode would have been better off without the subplot involving Tom's "Rent-a-Swag" business and his contentious relationship with Jean-Ralphio's horror-show sister Mona Lisa (Jenny Slate).

Ivey Goodwin was born with myelomeningocele spina bifida. A service dog could help her live a more independent life, but she needs help to get one.
COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- A young Southern Colorado girl needs help to make her next birthday extra special.
Ivey Goodwin, a 7-year-old, was born with the most severe form of spina bifida.
It makes it hard for her to walk and maintain her balance.
Her family wants to get her a service dog, to help her live an independent life, but they can't do it on their own.
"When she was in utero her spinal cord was not enclosed in the back and so she had to be born by c-section," Tessa Goodwin, Ivey's mother, said. "Once she was out they had to do surgery to put her spinal cord back in place and unfortunately that can cause various paralysis and bowel and bladder complications."
Ivey has to wear braces on her legs to help her walk and uses a wheelchair for long distances and when she gets tired.
"She also struggles with balance. She can be knocked over easily. If the ground that she's walking on is uneven that's very challenging for her," Tessa said.
Despite the daily challenges Ivey presses on.
"Everyday I see her she has a smile and she always has a big hug waiting," Neil Goodwin, Ivey's father, said.
As an independent first grader Ivey wants to do it all.
"I like to run around a lot," Ivey said.
A service dog could help Ivey live a more free life.
"It could help me with balance and not get knocked over," Ivey said.
"We're hoping that a dog would help provide her with more stability when she's walking so she feels more comfortable in crowds, even in school hallways, and at recess on the playground. When she's not so afraid to get knocked over and get hurt she'll be able to interact with the kids more and get out into those places where normally she would kind of shy away from" Tessa said.
But a dog for Ivey costs $22,000.
"It does seem like a lot," Tessa said. "But when you think about finding a dog specifically that is good to be trained for a service dog, those might be a bit few far between, and then you actually have to do the training. You have to have the upkeep for the dog while it's there and then you have to do the training of the individual once they get there. If it's not a good fit you might have to find another one, and so it's just kind of a labor intensive process and every little thing adds up along the way."
If her family can come up with $13,000 4 Paws For Ability will come up with the rest.
"The only bad word we have in the house is can't, and we will always work around someway to do all the fun things that she wants to do," Neil said.
"Obviously what we want for her is to be independent and to make all the progress that she wants to," Tessa said. "We just think that it will be a great opportunity for her and it will just bring that extra level of security that we can't provide when we're not there."
Ivey's birthday is April 14.
So far the family has raised around $5,000. Once they have raised the $13,000 the organization will start training the dog.
It will take another 11 months for the dog to complete the training. Ivey's family is hopeful that by her ninth birthday Ivey will have a new friend.

Auto-advance: ON
Auto-advanceThis transcript is automatically generated
Back with the panel our next segment is on the government regulations and how in many people in the business -- feel that they constrict.
The growth of the economy listen up to President Obama from for every -- -- 2011.
I've ordered a government wide review.
Whatever rules on the books.
That are needlessly stifling job creation and economic growth we will Wexler.
Well have they've been fixed go to the web site.
Regulations dot gov a federal government website and look at the latest regulations that have been posted just today.
New regulations.
Seven days ago 356.
Regulations that it was in the last fifteen days 982.
In the last thirty days 2032.
Regulations and over the last ninety days 5745.
Regulations and in in many cases each of these regulations.
Are several hundred pages.
The long.
This is a problem -- -- itself but you add to that that the comment period which is mandated in law six sixty day comment period.
Has been shortened down under the Obama -- the 45 days and even a for a shorter come period.
Well I think it's at so many levels is a problem first of of the volume.
As you indicate which is sort of overwhelming if your small business.
You have no idea what's gonna happen with your health care costs your taxes.
And all the other regulations the second is the is sort of intrusiveness of all this.
And the fact -- -- it really -- small business who don't have the lawyers and the account -- in the sharp.
-- the former.
-- legislators.
Who can work your way around the regulations.
-- -- that the lack of of being open about it.
The administration has a short comment period.
We supposed have sixty days by executive order and united getting it.
Which means essentially these the executive runs this and lastly you get the arrogance -- the administration.
Essentially enacting legislation on its own through regulation the way it did.
The DREAM Act in the way you did in stripping away.
The work requirement.
Reform of welfare.
So all of these things happen unilaterally I think a lot of them I think are actually illegal and unconstitutional but even if they are.
The constant institutional they are incredibly destructive of small business but maybe that does this is a pendulum that swings to and fro.
-- -- -- Right I mean I want to start by saying that that is what businesses had to deal with before the health care a lot of it begins to take effect and that will be regulatory -- to be -- They spent a year and a half -- the obstruction of both parties.
-- facing unprecedented uncertainty over their tax rates and everything out and have not been able to invest in hiring a new job so.
That layered on top of -- of a regular.
It at exponential growth of the new regulations.
He's really it is really at a disastrous situation given that we're so starved for for new growth.
It is a pendulum that swings we all remember Democrats and environmentalists complaining throughout the eight years of the bush last -- Bush Administration.
About -- loosening of clean air and water regulations.
And all the polluting.
-- a work.
Railing about -- largely unnoticed because the public is not this is that an executive power afforded every.
Administration and executive branch largely out of the spotlight from the public it's not something the public is in forms itself about.
Comments so -- Republicans will make an effort when they get back into deregulate.
As much as they can when they controlled the White House.
Again but but Obama -- is really going to be a new confronts.
In in a stranglehold of regulation on businesses as you know we're already trying to do the best they can convince employees.
To take stipend or not.
Beyond health care rolls really going to be a new.
A new level that we haven't number -- don't.
And three things are going on -- once which I think is gonna make this is an impressively.
Heavy regulatory burden on the out on the economy unfortunately what is obamacare massive piece of legislation.
Tentacles everywhere into the economy different sized businesses all the health care providers so that's going to be justice stream as -- racing of regulations coming out.
Then there's Dodd-Frank the big financial reform legislation incredibly -- huge discretion.
And so there are a lot of regulations and a huge amount -- number of fights about the regulations for you so much is at stake.
And no one quite knows that the legislation they are like Obama cares very specific and is leading to a huge number regulations -- frank is very vague.
As -- we future the number of regulations.
-- in the environmental area.
-- -- Obama administration did not succeed in getting -- and its legislative wish -- fast they're just doing a lot of that through the EPA.
In a regulatory way you put it all together and I mean I actually think the US economy if people which is -- back a little bit it probably -- take awful hope that we have this incredible energy.
Discovery's we have you know we've had a slow growth and -- -- 34 years of a lot of investment on the sideline ready to go.
And honestly it's not in president Obama's interest to stifle the economy he just pulls back some home I suspect we could have decent growth but I think they're very aggressive regulators.
In the different parts and HHS in the EPA in the financial areas and I don't know that the presence -- -- willing to reign in the men and say hey look let's we have economic growth there.
You mentioned that the EPA and senator in off the ranking member of the senate science committee issued a report that I think was back in October where he said that this.
The Obama administration not just the favorites but several.
Agencies are working to find a way to regulate hydraulic fracturing at the federal level so that can limit and eventually stopped the practice altogether.
The irony is that did.
That fracking is is the one thing in the environmental.
Rescue me in the manufacturing sector that is really lifted up the economy so -- were not talking about exporting liquid natural gas.
And it's the hypocrisy of -- ideologues on the left.
In the past Cole was a big defender you want to kill -- which in fact the EPA has done.
And they say -- natural gas is one of them because it emits only half of the carbon.
-- now that coal is essentially abolished or not have any new plans and now they're actually going after natural gas which before was supposed to be sober and I.
Look like you say it's a pendulum it's not it's a ratchet it always expands the Republicans can shrink it to be in the future.
But in the end its inexorable and it grows thanks to Charles and that's gonna do it for the --
