The Paris Project: Between the Wars
The Curtis all-school project for 2010–11 is the Paris Project: Between the Wars. It complements Curtis's participation in the Philadelphia International Festival of the Arts, which will focus on Paris in the early 20th century.
Repertoire from the period—as well as the music that influenced and came out of it—will be performed throughout the year as part of the Paris Project. From Picasso to Stravinsky, Gertrude Stein, and Les Six, Curtis will spend the academic year in the company of great Modernist masters who lived in and around Paris.
What's the connection between Curtis and France in the 1920s and '30s? See and hear the answer in this brief audio slideshow from the Curtis Archives.

Strawberries are known for their antioxidant properties due to high vitamin C, anthocyanin and ellagic acid content. Strawberries also contain dietary fiber, iodine, folate, quercetin and kaempferol. Bursting with flavor, our 100% pure freeze dried strawberry powder captures all the natural taste and nutrition this remarkable berry has to offer. Strawberries, like other berries, are famous in the phytonutrient world as a rich source of phenols. In strawberries, these phenols are led by the anthocyanins and ellagitannins. The anthocyanins in strawberry not only provide its flush red color, they also serve as potent antioxidants that have repeatedly been shown to help protect cell structures in the body and to prevent oxygen damage in all of the body's organ systems. Strawberries' unique phenol content help support healthy heart function, blood vessel health and cellular replication. The phenols in strawberry also have the ability to lessen activity of the enzyme cyclo-oxygenase, or COX. Strawberries are a great natural source of Iodine / Potassium iodide (KI). Iodine is a chemical element essential for the production of thyroid hormones that regulate growth and metabolism. Diets deficient in iodine increase risk of retarded brain development in children (cretinism), mental slowness, high cholesterol, lethargy, fatigue, depression, weight gain, and goiter: a swelling of the thyroid gland in the neck. The natural Potassium iodide (KI) / Iodine from Strawberries is absorbed by your body more slowly and safely than chemical or synthetic iodine. Berries have recently been pinpointed as a leading source of compounds thought to produce health benefits for women, due to their high concentrations of phytoestrogens. Phytoestrogens, literally "plant estrogens", have been of interest to the scientific community because of their possible roll in prevention of both breast and cervical cancer. Studies now indicate that berries may contain some of the highest levels of phytoestrogens. These compounds act as a natural form of estrogen. During studies at the University of Helsinki in Finland, scientists measured eight different berries for their phytoestrogen level, and concluded that strawberries have the second highest level of phytoestrogens with blackberries being the only fruit containing higher levels. Raw Strawberries may provide some protection against Macular Degeneration. Your mother may have told you carrots would keep your eyes bright as a child, but as an adult, it looks like fruit is even more important for keeping your sight. Data reported in a study published in the Archives of Ophthalmology indicates that eating 3 or more servings of fruit per day may lower your risk of age-related macular degeneration (ARMD), the primary cause of vision loss in older adults, by 36%, compared to persons who consume less than 1.5 servings of fruit daily. Some possible benefits of our raw freeze dried Strawberry powder may include: ● High concentrations of phytoestrogens - natural plant estrogens that act as a natural form of estrogen ● Supporting healthy eyesight ● Helping your body combat esophageal cancer ● Strawberries are one of the few sources of ellagic acid ● Strong antioxidant benefits ● Natural source of Iodine / Potassium iodide (KI) ● Supporting healthy cholesterol levels ● May be beneficial in reversing the course of neuronal & behavioral aging ● Low Glycemic Index (GI) of 40 ● Fighting certain types of cellular mutation ● High in phytonutrients like phenols, flavonoids & anthocyanins The strawberry is a member of the rose family. The plant produces succulent, red, conical fruit from tiny white flowers, and sends out runners to propagate. Strawberries are a fragrant, red colored, ground dwelling fruit. Their history dates back over 2,000 years with records showing a variety of breeds as a native in many parts of the world. The strawberry is often described as a luxury item, enjoyed by royalty. France's King Charles V had over 3000 planted at the Louvre in Paris, King Louis XIII ate them everyday; and both Louis XIII and Louis XIV the latter enjoyed the berries so much that they are recorded to have eaten them to the point of indigestion! The use of strawberries and of the strawberry plant itself for therapeutic purposes dates back as long as they have been eaten. American Indians prepared infusions of strawberry plant leaves as a treatment for stomach pain and gastrointestinal ailments such as diarrhea. Swedish botanist Carl Linnaeus was convinced that strawberries had miraculously healed his severe attack of gout; and the French philosopher Bernard de Fontenelle, who died at the age of 100 attributed the secret of his longevity to strawberries.

Falk Talks Jobs, Education, Endorsements During Milwaukee Visit
Dane County Democrat and candidate in likely gubernatorial recall election announces plan to restore technical college funding by closing corporate tax loophole.
Just two weeks after she announced her campaign to run against Gov. Scott Walker in a recall election — and possibly other Democrats in a primary election — former Dane County Executive Kathleen Falk made her campaign pitch about job creation, school funding and collective bargaining in luncheon Wednesday hosted by WisPolitics.com.
Already, she has received endorsements from WEAC, AFSCME, Emily's List and Clean Wisconsin. With the unions, she signed a pledge to veto any budget that does not restore collective bargaining. When Patch asked whether the pledge indicates a loyalty to unions, Falk said she made the pledge because she wants to be upfront and honest about what she will do as governor.
"Us candidates are supposed to tell people what we will do to accomplish their goals, and people want collective bargaining. I have been openly asked about what I will do to get that done, and this isn't the time to be wishy washy," Falk said. "This is the time to stand up and say which side you are on, and I'm on the side of collective bargaining."
Falk also used the luncheon as an opportunity to announce her jobs plan for the state. The plan, dubbed "Invest in Success," would restore the $36 million that was cut from state technical colleges by closing a tax loophole that allows multistate corporations to avoid paying Wisconsin taxes on profits generated in Wisconsin. Falk said the loophole cost the state $46 million in the biennial budget and will rise to an annual cost of $40 million starting in 2013.
With one out of five high school graduates going on to technical college, and Walker stating nearly 33,000 job openings in Wisconsin are unfilled because employers cannot find skilled workers, Falk said her plan will help technical colleges provide worker training and create partnerships that connect worker training to available jobs.
"His philosophy is to give big tax breaks to a few companies, and then the biggest cuts in public education," Falk said. "My philosophy about how you balance the budget is through shared sacrifice, and that's what I've done as a county executive."
In an e-mail statement, Walker campaign spokesman Tom Evenson said the plan would hamper economic development by increasing taxes on corporations.
"Kathy Falk is a one-trick pony with one answer for everything: "Raise taxes," he said. "Falk's plan would put a wet blanket on Wisconsin's economy by saddling job creators with over $350 million in job-killing tax increases. Wisconsinites simply cannot afford Falk's failed tax and spend policies."
Since her candidacy announcement on Feb. 8, the campaign season is still young. Falk said she plans to reach out to both Republicans and Democrats on the campaign trail, saying she campaigned in conservative Waukesha County just last week.
State Sen. Kathleen Vinehout (D-Alma) has also declared her candidacy, and Secretary of State Doug LaFollette is reportedly entering the race later this week. Falk said she is not sure whether there will ultimately be a Democratic primary. And, of course, many observers believe Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett also will run.
"I'm just grateful we live in a democracy," she said. "I would never talk somebody out of running for office."
There is no scheduled date for the recall election, which was triggered after Democrats filed more than 1 million signatures a month ago.
Originally from the south side of Milwaukee and raised in Waukesha County, Falk graduated with a law degree from University of Wisconsin-Madison and spent 20 years as an environmental lawyer, mostly through her work as a public intervenor in the state Department of Justice. She was elected Dane County executive in 1997, a post she held for 14 years.
In 2002, she lost a three-way Democratic gubernatorial primary to former Gov. Jim Doyle and Barrett, and in 2006, she narrowly lost the attorney general election to Republican J.B. Van Hollen.
At the age of 60, she said she was motivated to re-enter the political scene after seeing Walker's policies play out in Wisconsin, which she said have led to six straight months of job losses in the state.
"We just want good schools for our kids, decent health care when we need it, a decent paying job and some clean air and water to enjoy those few hours of the day when we're not working," she said. "We don't ask for much, and Gov. Walker has set our state back on every barometer."
Walker's campaign could not be reached for comment Wednesday.
While Walker stocked $12 million into his campaign warchest in 2011 and ran a series of campaign advertisements, Falk said the polls show it has not been effective.
"Once you have lost someone's trust, no amount of money can get it back," Falk said.

"Once you have lost someone's trust, no amount of money can get it back," Falk said
-- and I agree. Now that Wisconsin has been shown what the public unions are REALLY all about, they have lost our trust. The only "jobs" Falk is interested in is public sector jobs funded by taxing the private sector. This is not how an economy stays healthy.

"SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (KFVS/AP) - Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn laid out a pretty grim budget Wednesday afternoon.
His plan includes closing 59 state facilities, from prisons to offices of the Department of Human Services.
"Today, our rendezvous with reality has arrived," said Gov. Quinn during his speech.
In his budget address Wednesday, Quinn said the need to lower state spending "gives us no choice."
Gov. Quinn talked a lot about restructuring the state's Medicaid program as well as strengthening the public pension systems."
The compassion of Illinois Governor Pat Quinn (D) is eternal! Hopefully the financial death for the union public employees he discarded under the wheels of the bus will be quick and merciful.
To think that Evil Incarnate Governor Walker Scott Walker would subject union public employees to the ignomy of pay cuts and paying more for their benefits and pensions - why they might lose their gas-guzzling SUV, vinyl-sided McMansion, or (GASP) not be able to afford that Spring vacation in Florida. It's inhumane subjecting union public employees to "death by 1,000 cuts". Imagine not being able to outspend your neighbor! SHAME! SHAME! SHAME!
4:39 pm on Wednesday, February 22, 2012
Kathleen Falk's return to government is the best thing that could happen to Wisconsin. She will gaurantee that Scott Walker will be our governor.
5:02 pm on Wednesday, February 22, 2012
Well as the article indicates, it's early. But I do appreciate the fact Falk is doing her homework. She estimates closing the tax loophole would generate about $86 million over two years, and the Walker administration claims $350 million. I'd like to see a Politifact on this one. The Walker administration's estimates have not been too solid to-date.
7:10 pm on Wednesday, February 22, 2012
Bren, raising taxes does not increase revenues. Just look south to Illiinois. They raised taxes all over the place and found out their plan sucks. They are beyond bankrupt, they just haven't filed, as have most of Europe.
We would look a lot like Illinois if Barrett had won the Governor race. Talk about real cuts... where we haven't had one hiccup in state service.
9:12 pm on Wednesday, February 22, 2012
Please Bren, provide your documentation that proves Falk has done her homework and that her estimates are more accurate than Walker's estimates.
9:27 pm on Wednesday, February 22, 2012
Gear, Barrett has to deal with dwindling tax rolls in Milwaukee, too--give him some credit! I would not prefer to raise tax rates either but what Falk was talking about, as I understood it, was closing a tax "loophole." It's a fine point I agree, but I'm sure you know how I feel about cutting education funding. It's a catch 22, people need jobs but the jobs available require qualifications the people don't have. I've sent these numbers to Politifact Wisconsin to see if they will look into the actual numbers.
Since a number of Walker's cuts aren't slated to take place until July 2012, let's wait until then to discuss state service.
11:14 am on Friday, February 24, 2012
There is no such thing as a tax loophole, it is merely a tax law that some don't agree with. As for corporate tax breaks, both sides do it it lure buisness. Look at lefty Tom Barrett, hundreds of millions of taxpayers dollars to try to get buisness, they all do it!
Falk will be no different. The more people we can get back to work ASAP, the better off we will all be, more income tax revenue, more spending, more sales tax revenue!
Maybe, just maybe, we can then begin it lower more tax rates and maybe, just maybe begin to slowly restore some benefits, but for now, everyone has to share in the , here in Wisconsin as well as the US, per Barrack Hussain Obama

9:10 pm on Wednesday, February 22, 2012
1 million (supposed) signatures and she is the best candidate they can find? What a waste of time and money for the citizens of Wisconsin. I sure hope she wins the primary. In fact, I will probably even vote for her to help assure a Walker victory in the general election.
All Walker needs to do is run an ad showing her with her signed union pledge to block the budget and she will lose by a greater margin than Barrett did in '10. She is obviously not to bright to be going around bragging about that union deal.
9:37 pm on Wednesday, February 22, 2012
She's one of several potential candidates as you know. I think Falk would do a good job, but I'd like to learn more about the other challengers too.

@Vicki -
Politifact already busted Falk on her LIES about Walker's jobs performance, so there's no need to go perpetuating those lies here:
Not to mention that in the spirit of Doyle, Falk LIED about raising taxes while she was in charge of Dane Country, but that really shouldn't come as that big of a surprise to anyone, should it?
And what about the union pledge that will hold the state budget hostage? Going with Falk and her union cronies could effectively cause a shut-down of the state government if she holds true to that pledge, and then, the poor really will starve and not receive an ounce of health care.
So tell me Vicki, who's interests is Falk really fighting for here?
Falk = special interest stooge = EPIC FAIL!!!

Take another look at Politifact, in the first five pages I count;
Walker, 0 true, 2 half true and 10 false with 3 of those "pants on fire"
Falk, 2 true, 1 false
1:56 pm on Thursday, February 23, 2012
According to PolitiFact:
Falk has 2 trues and 1 false.
Gov. Walker 5 true, 4 mostly true, 5 half true, 7 mostly false, 17 false and 4 pants on fire.
Not taking one side or the other, just giving the facts.
2:07 pm on Thursday, February 23, 2012
Well, I hope that Politifact Wisconsin does look into the numbers I sent them. It's quite a discrepancy. Numbers not adding up to the verbiage in good part set the stage for the recall, let's nip any further "fun with numbers" games in the bud going forward.
James R Hoffa
2:33 pm on Thursday, February 23, 2012
@Bren -
What numbers are you talking about here? You yourself have admitted that Falk's numbers are nothing more than mere estimates. I could estimate that Gov Walker would achieve his goal of helping to create 250,000 new jobs by the end of his first term if you guys would cut out all of the shenanigans. In this regard, I'm just as credible as Falk.
If you really wanted to test the effectiveness of Falk's policy initiatives, then why don't you ask the leadership of Ruud Lighting if they would have chosen to remain in Wisconsin instead of expanding in South Carolina, as originally planned, if Falk's policies would have been instituted over Walker's? That answer should effectively tell us who really wants to take the state in the right direction when it comes to jobs, won't it?
Otherwise, it's nothing but mere numbers without any substantive context, right?
5:41 pm on Thursday, February 23, 2012
Mr. Hoffa, there are estimates and there are estimates. Some are based on historical evidence and reasonable assumptions, and others come right out of the place in the brain that also imagines unicorns and the sasquatch. 250,000 new jobs by 2013 is a sasquatch, in my opinion. I've had enough unicorns and sasquatch, people's lives are being adversely impacted. I want a governor for Wisconsin, not ALEC.
6:13 pm on Thursday, February 23, 2012
I guess some people only believe in Sasquatch and Unicorns at the federal level.
"Throughout his 2008 presidential campaign Barack Obama promised to create 5 million "green" jobs to both mitigate unemployment and boost the nascent clean energy sector."
And then we have this.
"I have already directed my economic team to come up with an Economic Recovery Plan that will mean 2.5 million more jobs by January of 2011 a plan big enough to meet the challenges we face that I intend to sign soon after taking office," he said in the address.

You hit on an important point--we NEED a Gov who is loyal to the people of Wisconsin and not one (Walker) to is loyal to ALEC!

Wonder why? It was due to a little 5 letter word that starts with T and rhymes with axes.

Greg, unless you are a legislator or high level contributor to ALEC or make more than $250,000k, Scott Walker will pay you lip service to get your vote and use your support to help his benefactors at Wisconsin's expense. Let's talk about how "great" a job he's doing when the rest of his draconian budget cuts hit in July (if he's still around). I'm sorry that you think my opinion "sucks," but I have to base my views on the man's deeds and numbers. My brain is just wired that way. Promises: 250,000 new jobs by 2014 and a GAAP balanced budget. Results (as I have posted before): 200 years to reach 250,000 new jobs at current rates and a $3,000,000,000 GAAP deficit with a $143,000,000 projected cash shortfall (or $117,000,000 after glomming onto $26,000,000 of the mortgage settlement to correct his budgeting error).
Additional results: $5,000,000 for unnecessary Voter ID law, public and private sector layoffs, $1,200,000,000 in cuts to K-12 public school education, cuts to Homestead and EIC credits (i.e., tax increases on the poorest), a potentially environmentally disastrous mine project that will create only 700 permanent jobs with mid-level pay, $1,200,000 spent on hiring private law firms as part of gerrymandering project and resulting litigation (to-date), etc.
We need a governor who represents all of our interests, not just those of the wealthy.

Kathleen Falk is endorsed by unions and that's it. There are no businesses , chamber of commerce, or other pro-business groups that would even consider backing this lunatic.
She claims she's worked with unions and negotiated contracts that saved taxpayers, but I'm wondering how that can be?
In her 14 years as CE of Dane county, she increased the budget by 60%. She raised taxes over 10 of those years. She increased the property tax levy by 11.6% in her last two years…09-10.
She is all about spending, taxing and increasing entitlements…after all, in 2010 Madison teachers signed a new 4 year contract PRIOR to ACT 10 legislation so they could keep their wages and benefits on the backs of the taxpayers.
Wisconsin has saved over 900 million in less than a year because of responsible legislation by Walker. While there is a structural debt of approximately 3 billion that was left from Doyle, we did manage to erase a 3.6 billion dollar deficit and save over 70 million a year in interest. These responsible acts help spur economic growth but Falk can't understand this.
Wisconsin is on the right track in hopes that public unions go away in a few years and give personal responsibility back to the individual instead of Big Brother Unions.

Walker and pay equity
Cap Times editorial February 25, 2012
Former Dane County Executive Kathleen Falk strongly opposes Senate Bill 202, which turns the clock back on equal pay protections for women.
We know that Gov. Scott Walker is unlikely to listen to his leading challenger in the recall election, former Dane County Executive Kathleen Falk.
But on the question of pay equity, he should.
Senate Bill 202, authored by Sen. Glenn Grothman, R-West Bend, would gut Act 20, the equal pay enforcement law passed in 2009. The act, which includes stiff penalties, makes it easier for women to bring wage discrimination cases. As PR Watch noted, "Previously, victims were required to pursue lengthy administrative remedies through a state agency. SB 202 removed the compensatory and punitive damages for violations of Act 20, leaving it a toothless tiger."
Not surprisingly, Grothman's bill passed on a party-line vote. If Walker does not veto it, he will make an even better case for why Wisconsin needs to replace him, and why it makes a lot of sense to do so with a woman.
Here's what Falk is saying:...
9:06 am on Saturday, February 25, 2012
I just don't see the point of legislation like this. It simply gives a thumbs up to discriminatory business practices. I can't imagine any person of character supporting wage discrimination against women. If a company is engaging in this practice, it is reasonable to assume that there are other issues as well.
Yes, it's a recession, but why is the economic situation being seen by some as an opportunity to roll back the reforms that reflect a society that has gained in sophistication, wisdom, and cultural appreciation?
It is the 21st Century, not the 17th, when men in Salem, Massachusetts were put into stocks for smoking tobacco on the street or indulging in a profanity, and women were similarly punished for gossip.

Walker in a Political Free-Fall
Madison – Gov. Scott Walker's window of opportunity to change the public's perception of how well he is doing his job has slammed shut. In recent months, Gov. Walker's campaign and Koch funded friends have saturated Wisconsin television airwaves with commentary attempting to mask the destructiveness of his draconian polices.
With six straight months of job loss in the Badger State, Wisconsinites are more apt to believe what they are experiencing and observing in their communities rather than what they are seeing on television. When you couple steady job losses with massive cuts to BadgerCare and education and when you consider a recent report indicating the state's budget is still not balanced,...
According to PublicPolicyPolling.com or commonly referred to as PPP, a recent poll of 900 Wisconsinites was conducted Thursday through Sunday. With the poll having a margin of error of plus or minus 3.27 percentage points, three of Gov. Walker's possible opponents were ahead of him in the poll, and five others were not far behind.
From the PPP Poll:
Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett led Walker 49% to 46%
Kathleen Falk led Walker 48% to 47%

Zion's Dilemmas: How Israel Makes National Security Policy
By Chuck Freilich, Senior Fellow, International Security Program
In Zion's Dilemmas, a former deputy national security adviser to the State of Israel details the history and, in many cases, the chronic inadequacies in the making of Israeli national security policy. The author uses his insider understanding and substantial archival and interview research to describe how Israel has made strategic decisions and to present a first of its kind model of national security decision-making in Israel. The book concludes with cogent and timely recommendations for reform.
December 2012January 2013
"Striking Iran: The Debate in Israel"
Journal Article, Survival, issue 6, volume 54
By Chuck Freilich, Senior Fellow, International Security Program
"Although the unusual public nature and stridency of the debate struck many around the world, it is still hard for those abroad to understand how great the effect on the Israeli public has been. The Iranian nuclear programme had been the one consensual issue in an otherwise politically frenetic and deeply divided country and was dealt with, so the public believed, in a manner appropriate to the severity of the threat."
"Israel in LebanonGetting It Wrong: The 1982 Invasion, 2000 Withdrawal, and 2006 War"
Journal Article, Israel Journal of Foreign Affairs, issue 3, volume VI
By Chuck Freilich, Senior Fellow, International Security Program
"The present study assesses the reasons for Israel's repeated policy failures in Lebanon by comparing the decision making processes (DMPs) in the three most important cases above: the two wars and the unilateral withdrawal. Failure, of course, is both a relative and subjective term. Indeed, it can be argued that not all of these cases were unequivocal failures; the outcome of the 2006 war was not entirely negative from Israel's perspective and the alternative in 2000, such as remaining in Lebanon, might have been worse. Thus, failure, for the purposes of this study, refers not to the quality of the outcomes, but to Israel's ability to achieve the objectives set out by its leaders."
Summer 2010
"Armageddon and the Threat of Nuclear Terrorism"
Journal Article, InFocus, issue 2, volume IV
By Chuck Freilich, Senior Fellow, International Security Program
"Nuclear terrorism poses a unique threat not only because of the magnitude of the destruction, but because those most likely to perpetrate an attack may be fundamentally nihilistic and therefore undeterrable prepared to pay any cost in loss of life in pursuit of their objectives. As millennial movements for whom the crippling and even destruction of the U.S. and Israel are sacred missions, a nuclear terrorist attack where even a devastating response is assumed may be a worthy means of ushering in a messianic era."
Spring 2010
"Decision Time in Jerusalem"
Journal Article, Journal of International Security Affairs, volume 18
By Chuck Freilich, Senior Fellow, International Security Program
In Israel, it has become commonplaceindeed, almost axiomaticto speak of the Iranian nuclear program as an existential threat. Senior decision-makers and defense officials have repeated this warning so often that the words "existential" and "Iran" have become almost synonymous in Israeli discourse. Foreign media, meanwhile, repeatedly speculate on the prospects of an Israeli attack on Iran, and some have speculated that 2010 may be the "year of decision."
Autumn 2006
"National Security Decision-Making in Israel: Processes, Pathologies, and Strengths"
Journal Article, Middle East Journal, issue 4, volume 60
By Chuck Freilich, Senior Fellow, International Security Program
This article presents a first of its kind typology of Israeli national security decision-making processes, focusing on five primary pathologies and a number of strengths.

Journal Article, Strategic Assessment, Published by Tel Aviv's Jaffee Center for Strategic Studies, issue 1, volume 9

"The strategy has four main objectives: homeland defense, defeating terrorism, preventing WMD proliferation, and developing cooperative agendas with other "centers of global power," primarily China, Russia, and India."

"The United States, Israel, and Iran: Defusing an 'Existential' Threat"
Magazine or Newspaper Article, Arms Control Today
By Chuck Freilich, Senior Fellow, International Security Program
"Iran is an existential threat to Israel. This apocalyptic warning call has become a mantra continually repeated by virtually all Israeli leaders and defense officials and has been adopted by much of the U.S. national security establishment. President George W. Bush even warned that Iran's declared intention of destroying Israel could lead to World War III.
There is no doubt that Iran poses a severe threat to Israel, not only in the nuclear field, but what kind of danger does its nuclear program constitute? Is Israel's future in imminent danger if Iran goes nuclear? The answer is probably not. Although somewhat reassuring, this response is less than satisfying...."

The latest pet care news, adoptable pets, and cruelty alerts.
Cocoa bean mulch is popular in our neighborhood. Is this toxic to dogs?
It depends, Julie. Dogs who consume enough cocoa bean shell mulch could potentially develop signs similar to that of chocolate poisoning, including vomiting and diarrhea. In cases where very large amounts of mulch have been consumed, muscle tremors or other more serious neurological signs could occur. To date, the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center has not received any cases involving animal deaths due to cocoa mulch ingestion.
One key point to remember is that some dogs, particularly those with indiscriminate eating habits, can be attracted to any kind of organic matter. If you have a dog who tends to be, shall we say, less than finicky, it is important that your dog not be left unsupervised or allowed in areas where such materials are being used.
In case you have not already seen it, please read this article (.pdf) on our website that provides additional information on cocoa bean shell mulch.

ASUS Officially Launches P9X79-E Workstation Motherboard With 4-Way SLI Support
Subject: Motherboards | April 2, 2013 - 11:27 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: asus, p9x79-e, workstation, Sandy Bridge E, quad sli, quad crossfire, lga 2011
Earlier this year at CES, ASUS showed off a high-end workstation board called the P9X79-E WS. The board is meant for Sandy Bridge-E processors, but will likely be compatible with Ivy Bridge-E as well. Unlike Wolverine and Zeus, the P9X79-E WS is a motherboard that will actually see the light of day and has been officially launched. It will be available sometime in May at an as-yet-unannounced price.
The P9X79-E hosts a single LGA 2011 processor, up to 64GB of 2400MHz DDR3, the Intel X79 PCH, and support for 4-Way SLI or CrossFire on four of its seven total PCI-E 3.0 slots. The workstation board uses a 10-layer PCB, ASUS DIGI+ with 10+2 power phases, DR Power PSU monitoring, ASUS SSD Caching II, solid capacitors, and fanless heatsinks connected via copper heatpipes.
Storage options include six SATA 6Gbps ports, four SATA II 3Gbps ports, and two eSATA ports coming from the front panel header. The rear IO has changed a bit since the board seen at CES, however. The now-official ASUS P9X79-E WS includes the following rear IO options:
- 1 x PS/2 combo port
- 10 x USB 2.0 ports (one can be used for BIOS flashing)
- 2 x USB 3.0 ports
- 2 x eSATA ports
- 2 x Gigabit Ethernet ports backed by Intel i210 GbE controller
- 6 x Analog audio ports
- 1 x Optical S/PDIF port
The board can accommodate up to four dual slot graphics cards or seven single slot expansion cards (like PCI-E SSDs and RAID controllers). As a workstation board, it is likely to be pricey, but for those that need 4-way SLI and LGA 2011 (possibly for Ivy Bridge-E though its hard to say for sure if that will work yet) it is shaping up to be a good option. As mentioned above, the P9X79-E WS will reportedly be available for purchase in about a month. Sometime in early May or late April, according to Slash Gear.
Intel Will Allegedly Release Three Ivy Bridge-E Processors Later This Year
Subject: General Tech | April 2, 2013 - 10:59 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: lga 2011, Ivy Bridge-E, Intel, 22nm
Many enthusiasts have been eagerly awaiting the next generation of Intel processors to use LGA 2011, which is supposed to be Ivy Bridge-E. Especially after seeing rumors of a 10 core Xeon E5-2600 V2 Ivy Bridge-EP CPU, I think many users expected at least an eight core Ivy Bridge-E part.
Unfortunately, if a slide posted by VR-Zone China is any indication, LGA 2011 users will not be getting an eight core processor any time soon. The slide suggests that Intel will release three new Ivy Bridge-E CPUs in the third quarter of this year (Q3'13). However, the top-end part is merely a six core CPU with slight improvements over the existing Sandy Bridge-E 3960X chip.
Specifically, the slide alleges that the initial Intel release will include the Core i7 4820, Core i7 4930K, and the Core i7 4960X. An Ivy Bridge-E equivalent to the SB-E 3970X is noticeably absent from the lineup along with several of the other rumored (higher core count) chips.
Rumored Ivy Bridge-E chips:
Clockspeed | Core Count | L3 Cache | Manufacturing Process | TDP | |
Core i7 4960X | 3.6GHz (4GHz Turbo) | 6 | 15MB | 22nm | 130W |
Core i7 4930K | 3.4GHz (3.9GHz Turbo) | 6 | 12MB | 22 | 130W |
Core i7 4820K | 3.7GHz (3.9GHz Turbo) | 4 | 10MB | 22 | 130W |
Existing Sandy Bridge-E equivalents:
Clockspeed | Core Count | L3 Cache | Manufacturing Process | TDP | |
Core i7 3960X | 3.3GHz (3.9GHz Turbo) | 6 | 15MB | 32nm | 130W |
Core i7 3930K | 3.2GHz (3.8GHz Turbo) | 6 | 12MB | 32nm | 130W |
Core i7 3820 | 3.6GHz (3.8GHz Turbo) | 4 | 10MB | 32nm | 130W |
All of the chips allegedly have 130W TDPs, 40 PCI-E 3.0 lanes, support for quad-channel DDR3-1866 memory, and are built on Intel's 22nm manufacturing process. The low end i7 4820 is a quad core chip clocked at 3.7 GHz base and 3.9 GHz turbo with 10MB L3 cache. The i7 4930K is an unlocked six core part with 12MB L3 cache and clockspeeds of 3.4 GHz base and 3.9 GHz turbo. Finally, the Core i7 4960X is rumored to be the highest-end chip Intel will release (at least, initially). It is also a six core part clocked at 3.6 GHz base and 4 GHz turbo. It has 15MB of L3 cache. These chips are the Ivy Bridge-E equivalents to the 3820, 3930K, and 3960X chips respectively. The new processors feature higher clockspeeds, and are based on 22nm 3D transistor technology instead of SB-E's 32nm manufacturing process. It seems that Intel has extended unlocking to the lower-tier LGA 2011 chip, as it is listed as the Core i7 4820K. Having an unlocked multiplier is nice to see at the low end (the low end of the enthusiast platform, anyway). Curiously, the TDP ratings are the same, however. That suggests that the move to 22nm did not net Intel much TDP headroom, and the higher clocks are bringing them up to similar TDP numbers. At least the TDP ratings are not higher than SB-E, such that you motherboard and HSF should have no problems accepting an IVB-E CPU upgrade (with a BIOS update, of course).
It will be interesting to see how the new Ivy Bridge-E chips stack up, especially considering Intel may also be unveiling the consumer-grade Haswell processor this year. On one hand, Ivy Bridge-E offers up a CPU upgrade path for existing systems, but on the other hand pricing and the performance of Haswell (and lack of higher core count Ivy Bridge-E chips like previous rumors suggested) may see enthusiasts instead opt for a motherboard+CPU overhaul instead of simply recycling the LGA 2011/X79 motherboard. At this point, if this new slide holds true it appears that Ivy Bridge E/LGA 2011 will become even more of a niche solely for workstations that need the extra PCI-E lanes and quad channel memory. I say this as someone running a Lynnfield system who is itching for an upgrade and torn on going for the enthusiast platform or waiting for Haswell.
What do you think about the rumored Ivy Bridge-E chips, are they what you expected? Do you think they will be worth a CPU upgrade for your LGA 2011-based system or are you leaning towards Haswell?

Intel Planning 10-core Xeon E5-2600 V2 Ivy Bridge-EP CPU
Subject: Processors | October 17, 2012 - 06:48 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: xeon E5-2600 v2, lga 2011, Ivy Bridge-EP, Intel, 22nm
A recently leaked slide reveals one of Intel's upcoming Xeon-branded server chips coming in Q3 2013. The Xeon E5-2600 V2 is an Ivy Bridge-EP processor and will be compatible with motherboards featuring the LGA 2011 socket.
The Xeon E5-2600 V2 in particular has a 70W TDP (thermal design power) rating while the highest-end Ivy Bridge-EP CPUs will have TDPs of up to 130W. The E5-2600 V2 has 10 physical cores, and with HyperThreading it can handle a maximum of 20 threads. Each physical core has access to 256KB L2 cache and the chip has a total of 30MB L3 cache. Further, this (and other) Ivy Bridge-EP processor will support up to 1866MHz DDR3 system RAM.
Interestingly, the Xeon E5-2600 V2 is merely the middle of the road part for Intel. The company will be releasing processors that are even higher-end than this one. They will have up to 12 physical cores which means up to 24 threads. And paired with Intel's 22nm manufacturing process and 3D transistors, these chips will fit right into workstations and server rooms.

This $329 motherboard comes with a five-year warranty, digital power management system, rugged chokes, solid capacitors, and MOSFETs that have been certified through third party, military-grade testing.

The Sabertooth X79 also comes with a host of other features to improve SSD caching and give users quad GPU support for CrossfireX and SLI graphics card configurations. This board also includes a unique UEFI BIOS and natively supports 2TB hard drives with 64-bit operating systems. The USB BIOS "Flashback" feature also helps new users update their motherboard BIOS without entering the BIOS. ASUS states that users can use any USB storage device with the latest BIOS, push the BIOS button located on the back I/O panel for three seconds, and the board will automatically update the BIOS using standby power. Very cool!

The back I/O panel on the Sabertooth X79 is no slouch either as it gives users a healthy amount of USB 2.0, USB 3.0, and eSATA 6GB/s ports for greater performance and expandability options. They also added a small fan over the back I/O panel as part of their "TUF Thermal Armor" feature that will help cool and exhaust heat from ther motherboard out the back of the chassis. Let's move on to the rest of the Saberbooth X79's features where we will get our first out-of-the-box look at this motherboard.

Sandy Bridge Xeons galore! Seventeen new E5s arrive

Today marks the arrival of the Xeon E3-1200 single socket processor with 17 more models coming soon for two, four, or even eight socket motherboards, though according to The Inquirer Intel has no plans to scale to 16 sockets. They come in a bewildering array of models including the Sandy Bridge E we are used to, Sandy Bridge EN which uses LGA 1356 and is intended for dual CPU motherboards as it only has one QPI and the LGA 2011 Sandy Bridge EP which scales higher thanks to dual QPI. No triple QPI but that may still be in store to reduce the number of hops in an 8+ socket board to 2 when used in symmetric multiprocessing in the future.
The E5-2400 (SB-EP) has eight cores and is targeted straight at AMD's lower price, lower power consumption chips as well as offering a noticeable improvement over the already launched E3s. The E5-2600 family with its dual QPI is more suited for high powered applications that need several powerful processors working in tandem but not to the levels that the E7 series provides. By offering such a wide variety of choices, especially a family of what for Intel are very low cost processors they are really putting a lot of pressure on AMD and the soon to be released Piledriver family.
"If you were planning on buying new servers in the coming weeks and months, Intel just gave you a whole lot of homework. And if you work at Advanced Micro Devices, you're getting some homework, too."

Introduction and Features

We are still making our way through an avalanche of X79 motherboards on our test bench that leverages the power of Sandy Bridge-E CPUs, but we didn't want to wait any longer on powering up Gigabyte's GA-X79-UD5 extended ATX motherboard. Gigabyte has really stepped up their game by offering optimized LGA 2011 for no-nonsense PC builders, hardware enthusiasts, serious overclockers, and even FPS/RPG PC gamers. Our review of the X79-UD5 is going to evaluate every aspect of the board's ability to handle automatic and manual overclocking, DX10/DX11 gaming, and other synthetic and real-world benchmarks.

The Gigabyte X79-UD5 motherboard takes full advantage of the new features available with the LGA 2011 platform and X79 Express chipset like the abiliy to use up to 64GBs of quad-channel memory via eight DIMMs and support for dual and triple AMD CrossfireX or NVIDIA SLI graphics card configurations for multi-monitor, high-definition gaming. These features should make ultra enthusiasts grin from ear to ear because they will probably be the ones who tandem this board with an Intel Core i7-3960X processor and dual NVIDIA GTX 680s graphics cards that were just released earlier this week. The $299 price tag on this board also places it right in the middle of the pack of LGA 2011 motherboards available on Newegg and other vendors.

Fatal1ty's Asrock X79 Professional Motherboard
Subject: Motherboards | March 26, 2012 - 03:57 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: fatal1ty, Asrock X79 Professional, lga 2011, x79
As the ASRock X79 Professional carries the Fatal1ty logo, you can be sure that it is designed for gamers. That shows in the 4 PCI Express 3.0 x16 slots which can handle 16x, 8x, 16x or x16, x8, x8, x8 depending on if you want a three or four card setup. Six SATA 6Gbps ports will ensure your SSDs have enough bandwidth to keep them happy, with another four SATA2 ports if you decide to go whole hog on storage. Funky Kit's overclocking experiments were very impressive with this board especially since they kept the voltage to a relatively safe 1.45V. If you are going with an X79 based system, this $280 board is worth a look.
"If you are looking for a great overclocking board but do not want to spend a ton of money, this is your board. The X79 Professional easily exceeded my expectations for a board at this price. It easily gives boards that cost twice as much some real tough competition."

Mixed results from Gigabyte's mid-range GA-X79-UD5

A review of Gigabyte's mid-ranged X79-UD5 motherboard has appeared on [H]ard|OCP, though from the $340 price tag it is hard to call it mid-ranged. It sports three PCIe 3.0 16x slots, though one runs at only 8x, as well as two PCIe 2.0 1x slots and even an old PCI slot. For storage a half dozen SATA 6Gbps ports are bolstered by four SATA 3Gbps ports, four USB 3.0 ports and over a dozen USB 2.0 ports. [H]'s experience with the board was mixed, while it was stable during their tests, Gigabyte recently release a statement which seems to imply some users were experiencing heat issues when overclocking that were bad enough to damage hardware. As well they were unimpressed with Gigabyte's UEFI implementation and found it hard to navigate. When those issues are combined with the high price, [H] didn't feel this was a board that they could recommend.
"Gigabyte brings us another beautiful board in the form of the X79-UD5. Should this board be on your short list or is beauty only PCB deep? See how this LGA 2011 socket board stacks up with the Sandy Bridge E boards we have seen so far. This UD5 model is feature rich for a decent price, but, does it blend?"

ASUS ROG welcomes 2011 with the Rampage IV Extreme
Subject: Motherboards | December 19, 2011 - 02:30 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: ROG, Rampage IV Extreme, lga 2011, asus
ASUS' Republic of Gamers family now has a Socket 2011 motherboard in the form of the Rampage IV Extreme. The ROG boards are the highest end of ASUS' motherboard and the prices reflect this, the board [H]ard|OCP reviewed is $450. For that you do get a lot, four PCIe 3.0 16x slots of which three can operate at 16x speeds, four SATA 3Gbps ports and four SATA 6Gbps ports, eight USB 3.0 ports and up to a full dozen USB 2.0 ports. A large assortment of connectors and extras comes packaged with the board, as well as a new version of TurboV EVO, ASUS' monitoring and overclocking software. Overclocking proved difficult, no matter which cooling solution they tried the CPU would slowly heat up until it began triggering alarms or simply crashed. As this is an early version of the board you can expect the success rate to change somewhat; head to the review to see the long list of extras ASUS included with this impressive X79 motherboard.
"ASUS expands its ROG line once again to include offerings based on Intel's latest X79 chipset and support for the new Sandy Bridge-E processors. The ASUS Rampage IV Extreme comes from a long line of Rampage motherboards most of which have been excellent products. Our expectations are extremely high for this "Extreme" offering."

Steamboat City Council OKs request for bus grant
Members say transportation department can apply for funding
Tuesday, April 17, 2012
Steamboat Springs The Steamboat Springs City Council on Tuesday night gave its transportation department a green light to apply for grant funding to operate a new bus on the city's yellow line, but two council members weren't on board with the proposal.
Public Works Director Philo Shelton said the bus that currently runs the yellow line — which serves Old Town, Colorado Mountain College's Alpine Campus and the Hillside Village Apartments — is nearing the end of its operating life and needs to be replaced.
He added that the city needs to pursue other funding sources to continue to operate the route.
"We've been trying to find other opportunities to fund this service," Shelton said before he introduced the grant proposal he will submit to the Colorado Department of Transportation.
Shelton said the city historically has received some funding for the yellow line from CMC, including a larger sum of $38,000 last year because of the college's ongoing construction project that eliminated several parking spaces on campus and increased student demand for the route.
But Shelton said because of budget constraints, the college this year indicated it might not be able to contribute to the route's operating cost. The college also expects ridership to go down because of added parking capacity after the construction project is completed.
City Council President Bart Kounovsky and council member Cari Hermacinski voted against the grant proposal and questioned whether the city should continue to invest in the route.
"I think we've got to be able to do this in a more efficient and effective way," Kounovsky said about the operation of the yellow line. "If (CMC) has half the ridership on that route, and they are telling us they don't need the service or they don't want to pay for it, I struggle with that."
According to Jonathan Flint, operations manager for the city's transit department, 28,730 people rode the yellow line in 2011. That figure represents about 3 percent of the 1 million riders Flint said rode Steamboat Springs Transit buses last year. He estimated about half of the yellow line ridership comes from the Alpine Campus.
The grant Shelton plans to apply for totals $189,890 and will require a 50 percent match from the city. The cost includes a $46,720 lease purchase agreement to obtain a new medium-duty, 20-passenger hybrid bus for the yellow line.
Lodging tax
City Council also took a big step toward finalizing the committee that soon will help decide how the city should spend future revenue from its 1 percent lodging tax. The tax, which netted $634,359 for the Haymaker Golf Course last year, will be freed up from supporting the course in 2014.
The six-member accommodations tax committee will help decide how the city should use the tax and includes three members of the Steamboat Springs Lodging Association, council members Hermacinski and Kenny Reisman and Steamboat businessman Tom Ptach.
Ptach was appointed to the committee Tuesday night by a 4-1 vote.
Council member Sonja Macys voted against Ptach's appointment because she was concerned about potential conflicts of interest, including Ptach's service on the Haymaker Golf Committee. Haymaker long has been the sole beneficiary of the lodging tax.
"I'm going to come to (this committee) with a very open mind," Ptach said before he was appointed.
Reached by phone after the meeting Tuesday night to discuss Macys' concern about his appointment, Ptach declined to comment.
The City Council originally planned for the lodging tax committee to have five members, but council voted, 4-1, on Tuesday to add Reisman as the committee's sixth member. Macys opposed the addition of a second council member.
Council members Kevin Kaminski and Walter Magill were not present at Tuesday's meeting.
In other action
City Council voted, 5-0 and without comment, to approve the first reading of a revised version of the city's false alarm ordinance. If approved during a second reading next month, the new ordinance would do away with the escalating fine structure that currently charges building owners $100 for a second false alarm violation and $100 more for every subsequent violation. The new ordinance would not levy fines until the false alarm ordinance has been violated more than six times in a year. On the seventh and all subsequent violations, the violator could be assessed a $500 fine.

Does'nt this bus cost in the range of $750,000? Is this a sleight of hand? Busses are fine but they need to be used and carrying passengers or we need to examine the waste. Being in the private sector makes my skin crawl watching empty busses go thru their ritual. What is the cost per passenger mile? Why not offer a prize for someone to come up with a more efficient way to accomplish the task.
Attaining grants is a way for us to build an empire but we have no guarantee that our sugar daddy will come thru long term given our governments financial peril.
But what do I know, I thought that the affordable housing bubble was a debacle.
kathy foos 1 year, 2 months ago
How about more city buses at peak traffic times?The guest's just love them and it makes the stay more affordable for them, we just need more as they are so crowded at times.The local workers also get a huge advantage in a free ride to work.Also the disabled ,elderly and those with no driver's license .People can get home from the bars without freezing to death or having to have a designated driver to be responsible drinker's.It is mud season now so it is just locals,not as many rider's,but they need the bus.Summer will be here soon and then they will be loaded up again.Adding more bike trails will help save gas and encourage a safe family activity.I also think a tram or train would be a great addition.Its a great marketing plus to have a community destination that offers an alternative energy solution to getting around town in a fun,fast, way.Just because people have cars they drive up here ,they need not waste gas getting around town for the stay.A bus that services South Routt is also needed and long overdue.A bike route should be included in every road possible.Car pools are great to save gas.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month. The numbers associated with domestic violence are shocking.
* One in three women will be hurt physically or sexually by an intimate partner in her lifetime.
* One in five adolescent girls says she has been physically or sexually hurt by someone she was dating.
* One in 10 high school students, both boys and girls, report being physically hurt on purpose by a boyfriend or girlfriend.
Maikuru Study Group
Young people may not always see that a relationship isn't good for them as it is happening. Across our community, people are reaching out to support and educate young people about what makes a relationship healthy. Helping young men and women see what a healthy relationship is and the warning signs of abuse can help prevent abusive relationships from happening to them or their friends.

Campaign ad equating global warming with weather gets "pants-on-fire" rating
By now, almost everybody — with the possible exception of Republican Senate candidate Carly Fiorina — realizes there's a difference between climate and weather. Fiorina, running in the California primary and ultimately aiming to unseat Democrat Barbara Boxer, paid for and appeared in a campaign ad slamming the sitting senator for being "worried about the weather" when there are serious concerns like terrorism to deal with.
Take a look here:
A few problems with this ad earned it the not-so-coveted beyond-false "Pants on Fire" rating from Politifact, a Pulitzer-prize winning journalism website that checks on the truthfulness of political advertising. First off, Boxer didn't say she was worried about the weather. She said that climate change was "one of the very important national security issues" — a position in line with the Pentagon and the CIA. The site also found that it's not an either/or thing, that focusing on climate change doesn't necessarily mean neglecting national security. They took a look at Boxer's record and found she has supported at least six bills against terrorism.
"Fiorina casts climate change as something you need to pack an umbrella for, or that prompts you to curse at the TV weatherman — which strikes us as not only a trivialization of climate change but also a failure to distinguish between two well-established scientific specialties," Politifact said. "She also ignores Boxer's lengthy record supporting bills against terrorism. So we have to light up the meter (the site's Truth-o-Meter): Pants on Fire!"
Not surprisingly, Boxer's campaign fired back in a press release, saying that, "during Fiorina's tenure at HP, the company sold millions of dollars worth of high tech gear to intermediary shell companies selling to Iran, despite trade sanctions against Iran, a country that the U.S. State Department has named as a State Sponsor of Terror."
