Ultra Violet's Giant Laser Beam Is Canceled
Ultra Violet, above, has canceled her light sculpture in conjunction with UR1.
Wikipedia CC
Hey, remember when we told you about the giant laser beam that artist and former Warhol "superstar" Ultra Violet planned to shoot across Biscayne Bay during Art Basel? And it sounded pretty cool and elegant and egalitarian? And how it had the potential to become emblematic of this year's Art Basel Week, in the same way the pink snails did in 2010 and Miru Kim did last year?
Well, uh, scratch all that.

Ultra Violet's giant Noguchi-inspired project is yet another casualty of the postponing (or, if you believe the rumors, cancellation) of the UR1 Festival, originally scheduled for December 8 and 9. UR1 announced Wednesday that it was postponing the festival indefinitely, saying the decision was made due to strong winds being predicted for that weekend and the effects of Hurricane Sandy.

If those were the only reasons for its postponement, there was still a chance that Ultra Violet's light display would go on, given that it uses a sculpture that's survived Miami storms since the '80s as its foundation, and that, well, you can't exactly blow light away.
But Ultra Violet released a statement on Friday announcing that her project, too, was off the table for Art Basel week.
"I had great hopes that relighting Noguchi's Tower of Light would bring the desperately needed attention to his unknown 32 acre sculpture at Bayfront Park sitting in severe disrepair and neglect,'' the artist said in a statement, the Miami Herald reports. "Hopefully the community leaders and artists in Miami will begin a dialogue to preserve this incredibly important and historically significant national landmark.''

The push to build the new and exclusive Trinity Forest Golf Course is moving about as fast as you will see any project of this scale and complexity go through City Hall.
Whatever pieces need to fall in place to smooth out the deal appear to be happening at lightning speed - to such a degree that the city has set a May 15, 2015 deadline to turn the course property over to the "The Company of Trinity Forest Golfers."
According to an updated lease agreement that the City Council will discuss Wednesday, that is the name of nonprofit entity that will operate the Coore & Crenshaw designed course.
The company - or CTFG - is also well on its way to raising the money it needs to build the course and is probably already there if you read between the lines of the latest draft of the lease agreement.
The agreement accelerates the schedule for the company to show it has in hand the $20 million investment the city is requiring in the golf course. (The final investment is likely to be something more than that, according to people familiar with the cost of constructing championship golf courses.)
Proof of that money needs to be shown by August 31 under the terms of the new lease - a hard-stop indication (to me at least) that it has already been raised.
The negotiations aren't entirely without hiccups, though. The deal has always had several players involved, including the city (owner of the old landfill site where the course will be built), AT&T (a behemoth in the golf sponsorship world), Southern Methodist University (new facilities for its golf team), and the First Tee (charitable organization that does great work introducing young and often poor kids to the game).
Other important players include the PGA of America and the Salesmanship Club of Dallas (host of the Byron Nelson Tournament that Dallas intends to take from Irving).
At this point, the course investors operating as the nonprofit company have not reached a final deal with SMU. That deal is key to meeting the terms of the city's lease.
Expect it to get done. The amended lease sets May 15 as the deadline for getting the agreement between SMU and the course before the city for review. It may not be signed before the end of August though.
The new deal also appears to soften an agreement about the governance of the course itself. Initially, the course operators were to be required to set up a 12-member board of directors with "full fiduciary and governing powers over" the course operator.
That has been "simplified," to use the city's language. The board - which will include two mayoral appointees - will now act only in an advisory capacity. But the terms of the lease are enforceable whether the board has governing powers or not.
That includes a requirement that at least 25 percent of rounds be available for public play. Under the amendment the course operators will agree to a benchmark of "300 specific public play rounds per year for Dallas residents."
The city is still capping at $12 million its cost of remediating and rough-grading the old landfill site that will become the course. But the amendment notes that the cost could be something less than that.
Finally, the plan for additional trails - funded with $2.5 million from AT&T - is moving forward. But that deal has been pulled from the golf course lease and is being structured as a separate deal.

MySQL, yes. Oracle, only with trunk (i.e. unreleased version 1.3 of APU). DB2, no (feel free to contribute the driver! :-). SQLite 2 and 3, yes. Yes, APU DBD is an abstraction layer on top of native database APIs, so you should be able to use the same code with different databases, provided that SQL you pump in is supported by databases in question. > I'm looking for high level advice on how to design software that needs > to open connections from different sources using the apr API. You can have a look at the source of mod_dbd of Apache, for instance. For a quick a dirty intro, look at the test/testdbd.c program in the tarball of APU. -- Bojan
