bsd eating RAM!?!?
NOTE: the stuff on my desktop isnt there to show off. so ignore my convo there. its to show you what im running basically.. with proof that its the only thing runny. firefox is there too, its just hidde.
http://i30.tinypic.com/291ccxd.png but yea... youll notice my RAM is being eaten.. and im only processing a few things Last edited by seadog109; 19th May 2008 at 04:03 AM. |
How long have you been a user of FreeBSD? Did you used to use Linux? I'm not being mean or an ass or anything, but FreeBSD handles memory management a bit different, that's the only reason why I ask. FreeBSD tends to keep as much loaded into main memory as possible, and gets rid of it when it needs more memory (either via swap, or just plain getting rid of it if no longer needed). So, I really wouldn't concern myself so much.
Of course, anyone is free to come along and prove me wrong.
I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance by fleeing the scene of the accident! |
ive been a linux user for quite some time.. ive used multiple distros such a debian, ubuntu, redhat, and fedora... and backtrack. but backtrack was a short experience. Ive also never added any monitoring applets to those operating systems till now, when i decided to test out BSD. so it caught me off guard... but i guess thats part of the server side package of BSD. thanks for the conformation guys.. i now know nothin is wrong... not that anything should be... its bsd =D
Actually, it's in the FreeBSD FAQ. (I will freely grant that the FAQ is long and not that easy to navigate.)
Maybe we ought to put up a little FAQ for those coming from Linux. That's one question. The fact that md5sum is called md5 in FreeBSD. For those coming from Ubuntu, a brief explanation of how FreeBSD handles sudo. (For those coming from Fedora, mention of su and wheel wouldn't hurt either.) ifconfig syntax is a wee bit different. Just a few ideas. I cover a bit of it in an old page of mine, but that page is dated. |

A Conversation With ASN Scientific
Programs Committee Chair Dr. Douglas Burrin
ASN members are working hard to prepare for ASN's Scientific
Sessions & Annual Meeting at Experimental Biology (EB)
2012, which will be held from April 21-25 in San Diego.
At the center of that planning process is the
Scientific Programs Committee with Chairman Dr. Doug
Burrin. Dr. Burrin is a professor at the USDA Children's
Nutrition Research Center and also the director of Fellowship
Research Training in Gastroenterology, Hepatology, and Nutrition
Department of Pediatrics at the Baylor College of Medicine. In a
recent interview, Dr. Burrin shared details about the upcoming
meeting's most exciting sessions as well as insight from his own
experience with ASN and EB.
Interviewer: What factors
contributed to your decision to pursue a career in nutrition?
Dr. Burrin: I became
interested in nutrition, initially, when I was training in graduate
school. I undertook a research project as part of my work to
complete my PhD that was focused on understanding the role of
nutrition in the growth of the visceral organs, primarily the liver
and gut. That interest, and the fact that I saw my peers
working in nutrition presenting quality, cutting-edge research at
EB convinced me to continue pursuing nutrition research.
Interviewer: When and why
did you decide to join ASN?
Dr. Burrin: I became a
member when I was in graduate school. At that time, the only
way to get The Journal of
Nutrition was through the library or by becoming a
member. I joined ASN at that point as a student so I could
start receiving JN. It also
enabled me to receive discounted admission to EB. Those are still
two important aspects of membership. We can get access to the
journals through various means online, but to get really timely
content from the journal, you need to be a member.
Interviewer: What aspects of
ASN membership have you found most useful, professionally?
Dr. Burrin: In addition to
those two benefits, I have realized that, over the years, being a
member of ASN has helped me become more involved in Experimental
Biology and, by doing so, allows me to network with many of my
colleagues in nutrition research. I have also found that ASN
is the best way in this field to enhance your career development by
making yourself eligible for awards; there are now a number of
awards, including junior investigator awards, that ASN offers. It
also gives you the chance to get involved in a number of different
groups, like the RIS groups and other various committees that allow
you to start taking on leadership roles that really impact the
future of the society.
Interviewer: What are you
looking forward to most about April's annual meeting at EB?
Dr. Burrin: As the
Scientific Program Chair, I am actively involved in developing the
EB program. There are very interesting sessions coming up this
year. I am particularly interested, of course, in the ASN nutrition
sessions, but because EB is a large meeting that also includes
other scientific societies, it offers attendees the opportunity to
be exposed to diverse areas of biology. That kind of exposure is
particularly important for our members because nutrition is, by
nature, such an integrative science. I'm always excited to see what
is new and cutting edge. EB is the best place to get this
information before it is published in the journals.
Interviewer: Which topics
are you most excited about, and what new features or events should
attendees be aware of?
Dr. Burrin: This year's
meeting will have a number of themes. One of these is the
microbiome and the clinical nutrition significance of probiotics
and prebiotics. One day of the meeting, including our presidential
symposium, will be devoted to that area. We also have a half-day
session that provides an integrative look at energy balance,
specifically how energy inputs and energy expenditure affect risk
for obesity, a major public health issue. We also have several
sessions on fructose, which has become a hot topic nutritionally as
well as in the public health arena. There will be a session
on the biology of fructose as well as a "controversy" session where
speakers will discuss the nutritional value of fructose and the
evidence of adverse metabolic effects. Another day will focus
on dietary fats, adipose tissue function, and the role of fats in
cardiovascular disease. Finally, this year's meeting will continue
to offer an Education Track Program that provides one or two
sessions each day designed to highlight career development
opportunities and will also be useful for nutrition
Interviewer: What other
clinical topics do you think will be most relevant and interesting
to attendees?
Dr. Burrin: Obesity is, as
always, a recurrent clinical topic in the meeting, and one
afternoon there will be a clinical nutrition update sponsored by
the Medical Nutrition Council. Based on a 2010 needs assessment of
nutrition educators, session content will provide a concise but
richly informative update on five topics that have seen rapid,
recent changes. The 2.5 hour session will include the
following presentations:
-Breast Cancer Survivorship: What is the Role of Diet and Physical
-Nutrition in Oral Health
-Iron Supplementation: When and When Not?
-Celiac Disease: Update on Diagnosis and Treatment
-Update on Hospital Nutrition Support
Interviewer: Do you have any
tips for submitting proposals and abstracts?
Dr. Burrin: The most
important advice is to read the guidelines, which can be found on
the ASN
website. They should also contact the ASN Managing
Director of Education & Professional Development, Gwen
Twillman. Specific questions, ideas, and concerns about funding can
be addressed to either Gwen or myself.
Interviewer: Is there
anything else you'd like to tell members?
Dr. Burrin: I want to urge
our members to continue to submit and think about new symposium
topics or activities that they think might be important to present
or otherwise incorporate into the program at EB. The
organization's goal with this meeting is to be as innovative and
cutting edge as possible, and it is essential that the membership
plays an active role in thinking about these issues, developing
proposals, and bringing them through the review process as well as
interacting with staff and officers with ASN and myself about the
ideas they may have. I encourage them to get together, particularly
with mentors or other established colleagues, to consider finding
the best experts to submit a proposal and acquire the
funding. ASN does provide funding for symposia, but there are
many avenues to bring in funding from industry, various
foundations, and government institutions such as NIH and the

This is partially a free speech blog, so we'd be remiss in failing to note the passing of George Carlin. He failed to convince the Supreme Court of the absurdity of the Federal Communications Commission's "broadcast indecency" rules that scrubbed the airwaves during the day and evening (when, presumably, the kiddies are awake) of those naughty words that we all hear and (if the truth be told) many of us use quite regularly.
The Chicago Tribune is reporting that the owners of the Chicago Cubs are considering enacting a de facto "civility code" at Wrigley field, in response to some Cubs fans who have taken to booing the underperforming left fielder Alfonso Soriano. As Sports Law Blog notes, Wrigley and the Cubbies are privately-owned, so fans don't have First Amendment rights to express their disappointment at their team's defensive performance.
I have two articles in the March 13, 2008 issue of the Boston Phoenix. In the first, Jan Wolfe and I criticize the ill-advised arrest of performance artist Milan Kohout and follow up on his case, which was dismissed in Massachusetts court. In the second article, I report on newspapers' annoying tendency to censor swear words even when those words are at the core of the story being reported.
If you doubt that Alice in Wonderland is the best primer available for understanding the legal system, you might read Tony Mauro's latest piece in the Legal Times. The Supreme Court just denied certiorari in the case challenging the government's warrantless wiretapping program, meaning that though it didn't make a decision as to the merits of the case, it couldn't muster four judges who wanted to consider the legal questions.
By Harvey Silverglate
I was reminded of the convoluted mish-mash that First Amendment law has become (thanks, in large measure, to courts not taking seriously the First Amendment's admonition that the legislature "shall make no law ... abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press") after I read Geoff Edgers' article in yesterday's Boston Globe
The act of censorship is usually seen as a direct affront to the First Amendment, buts it's not always that clear and simple. The reason, of course, is that the amendment has several clauses, and at times some of them are in tension with one another, if not in seeming conflict.
Consider today's curious report in The Boston Globe that the pastor of St.

"Aside from some residual jet lag, I'm not at all disoriented," Allen said after a Tuesday night practice in Bears training camp. "It's been such a fast transition for me that it hasn't even begun to register in my brain yet."
And although the cosmopolitan native of London seems to be adjusting well, he still feels that there is a definite learning curve ahead.
"All of the teams I've been associated with have slightly different approaches to the game," Allen said. "It's a matter of learning and understanding the terminology and the overall game plans. I have two teammates from the London Olympians who are also with other NFL teams right now. I suspect we're all going through the same thing as far as getting acclimated."
It's a transition made somewhat easier by the NFL's International Development Program, which places European players on various practice squads for U.S.-based teams.
"The people I was working with in Hamburg had grown up with American football, as had the coaches, so the change isn't an enormous one from the way the game is played in Europe to the way the NFL handles things here," Allen said.
"The only problem, and it's a slight one, is not understanding what all of the players or coaches are saying," Allen continued. "I am accustomed to a British accent when people speak to me. But I'm learning how to handle this quickly."
As far as his diet in concerned, Allen sees little difference.
"I was on a training diet for the Olympians and for the Sun Devils as well," he said. "What the Bears are serving is similar, so there's really no culture shock there."
As the NFLE's leading rusher and one of the league's top TD producers, it would seem that Allen's skills will translate well into his new surroundings.
"Being a productive player in NFLE and winning the World Bowl is something that I'll be able to build on," Allen said. "I think that gives me somewhat of an edge, having had that kind of an experience already. Getting a touchdown in that game and winning over the highly-favored Frankfurt Galaxy squad was very satisfying and an experience I'd like to repeat here."
In his youth, Allen was never a fan of British "football," or soccer as Americans call that game, and preferred instead to follow NFL teams.
"I never really had a favorite team," he said. "I just got whatever news I could from the NFL and tried to learn from that."
What Allen found appealing about American football was the speed of the game and the various techniques involved.
"I always felt my particular athletic abilities were best suited to your kind of football," Allen said. "Where soccer relies primarily on ball-handling skills with the feet, American football has more emphasis on catching and speed once the reception is completed. Those are two things I have always excelled at."
Allen's ultimate goal is to line up as a starter somewhere in the NFL.
"This is my opportunity to learn as much as I can and to be noticed while I am in the States," he said. "Hopefully, this will advance my career considerably."
In Allen's more immediate future is his first trip to Chicago, scheduled for this weekend.
"I'm looking forward to seeing the city," he said. "It's been so busy since I arrived in the States that I haven't had the opportunity to stop and look around. Hopefully, this weekend before or after practice there will be at least a little time to get a first look at my new home."
Beth Gorr has been covering the Chicago Bears for the last seven years and is the Author of Bear Memories: The Chicago-Green Bay Rivalry. She is currently working on a second book about early Bears history. |

You need some level of discipline. A good way to help with this is to either prepare or at least plan your meals ahead of time. Don't just throw a bag of pasta into a pot and eat it all - weigh the right amount and cook that. Also, know how many calories you need to it and stick to it. Drink lots of water and you won't get the feeling that are you are hungry or empty.
Yeah, quite often drinking a couple of tall glasses of water will be sufficient to snuff out the hunger. At least with ppl who are fairly new to being in a caloric deficit, thirst is often confused with hunger.
Regarding IF:
I don't think it's mandatory to jump on the IF bandwagon, so if you're having success/meeting your goals with your normal diet, then by all means stick to it. A good dietary regimen is one that in the long run gives you the least amount of trouble and discomfort.
I'm also a bit on the fence in regards to bulking on an IF regimen... especially for bigger dudes (a buck-fifty like myself could prolly bulk w/ one meal ) it might prove somewhat problematic, as the caloric requirement goes up.

It may not seem like it after a booze-filled Fourth of July weekend, but Americans are drinking less and less beer now.
This isn't actually a new trend. Gallup data show that beer preference has steadily declined in recent years. As of 2013, just 36 percent of Americans say they prefer beer, in line with the 35 percent of Americans who say they prefer wine. That's a 20-point swing in 20 years.
New numbers from Beer Marketer's Insights show that the trend is continuing, as U.S. beer consumption declined from 28.3 gallons per drinking-age person in 2012 to 27.6 gallons in 2013. From 2002 to 2012, the study notes, beer consumption declined 8.6 percent, while wine consumption increased by 15.2 percent and spirit consumption rose by 20.9 percent.
So, how is it that the number of breweries is going up in the U.S., but beer consumption is going down? The answer is craft beer.
The largest increase in the number of breweries in the United States over the five-year period is with those that have fewer than 20 employees (the size of most craft breweries)—accounting for 295 breweries in 2007 and 705 in 2012.
As The Wall Street Journal reported:
Craft beer has managed to stand out, possibly because of its focus on styles and flavors…. Samuel Adams Boston Lager increased its volume of beer sold by 2% in 2012, reaching nearly 15 million cases.
While shipments of beer went up from $21.2 billion in 2007 to $28.3 billion in 2012, that sort of increase doesn't necessarily translate to more consumption. Rather, it's likely because of the higher price of craft beer.
So, while you may opt for the pinot over the pilsner, it's hard to avoid seeing the new craft beers that seem to pop up every week.

Twilight Nominated Big-time for 2009 MTV Movie Awards
8 comments:
It has been tradition of late at this awards show that the winner of the "Best Kiss" category kiss onstage in front of everyone. Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams really threw themselves into it. I wonder if Rob and Kristen win, if they will kiss also? It seems out of charachter for them to do so--but it will leave so many people disappointed.
(I am sad enough to admit that I will watch the show especially to see what happens)!- AnonymousMay 5, 2009 at 8:50 AM
I know there are some that don't agree but I think Kristen was so good in Twilight. I think the way she acted made it a lot less cheesy than it could have been with another actress. I Haley Williams and decode so of course that'll get my vote. Of course I'll vote for Rob...duh. I think even if I wasn't a Twilight freak that I would still think his performance was really good. He also had the challange of walking the fine line of cheesiness and dramatic acting. He obviosly can act as we've seen in other movies of his. Pretty much everything listed for Twilight,
I'm going to vote for. - AnonymousMay 5, 2009 at 11:47 AM
i can't believe that robert pattinson didn't make it to best male performance peoplewe have to vote for our movie! and support our actors no matter who you think they are just show you twilight love =)

Thanks to several major changes in the judging panel, "American Idol" is being reborn. Again.
Paula Abdul was the first of the originals to leave, freeing up space for Kara DioGuardi and Ellen DeGeneres. They departed, as did Simon Cowell, in 2010 … opening seats for Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler. They're gone now, too, so remaining judge Randy Jackson and host Ryan Seacrest will be joined by several other music superstars — Mariah Carey, Nicki Minaj and Keith Urban — when the FOX talent competition starts its 12th season of twice-weekly airings Wednesday, Jan. 16.
In recent months, country music staple Urban has been working "Idol" auditions into a packed itinerary. It also has entailed Nashville recording sessions for his next album, the planning of an upcoming concert tour and visits to his Oscar-winning wife, Nicole Kidman, in France, where she's been filming a biography of Princess Grace of Monaco.
"I've been racking up some serious miles," friendly four-time Grammy winner Urban tells Zap2it, having visited such "Idol" audition locations as San Antonio, Oklahoma City and Charlotte, N.C. "But I'm a musician, so I've toured my whole life. It's something I enjoy doing."
And thus far, at least, Urban also enjoys doing "American Idol." Previously a judge for a season on the Australian version of "The Voice," he says, "The side that I genuinely like is being able to maybe help somebody. When someone walks onstage, and they're just the most unlikely-looking person for this, then they sing and you just go, 'Gosh! You just need the slightest bit of help, and you're off and running,' that's a wonderful opportunity for people. And that's what I love."
Seacrest has known the new "Idol" judges to varying degrees through his multifaceted media work, but he's excited to build new connections to them within the contest's context. "All of them are very different," he notes, "and all of them come with their own unique perspective and background and with a specific and strong point of view. I think the contestants relish that. They certainly seem to look forward to it before they go in, and each [judge] is not shy about saying what they see or don't see in them."
Those vying to be the next "American Idol" will hope to score the sort of stardom cemented by such past winners as Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood and last season's victor, Phillip Phillips, whose single "Home" is continuing its long run on music charts. "I think we've got plenty," Seacrest says of the new season's promising contenders. "Now it's going to be a game of who can perform under pressure."
To that end, Urban is eager to hear the variety the entrants will bring over the coming weeks. "I listen to every kind of music," he says, "and when somebody is good at what they do, regardless of what genre it is, I think that's really apparent. There are people who come on and want to do something, but their intrinsic talent is more suited to another style.
"We had somebody (during the auditions) who had done a lot of gospel singing, and they wanted to do another kind of music, but then we had them do a gospel song … and there was no comparison. When you're born and bred for something, you shouldn't deny that."
Nor are the judges likely to deny their own expertise, as suggested by reports that things became rather heated between Minaj and Carey along the "Idol" audition trail.
"It's certainly calmed down since the media frenzy over it," Seacrest says. "You have strong, opinionated individuals coming together for the first time, and inevitably, that is going to cause some sparks along the way. And that's what happened. I don't believe it was for any reason other than each of them believing in what they were trying to do and say."
Adds Urban — a nominee at this week's Golden Globe Awards for his "Act of Valor" movie song "For You" — "We're singers and musicians, and performing is what we do. If you put us behind a desk and have us give our thoughts on other people, it's a strange phenomenon to begin with, so the environment is already primed for unusual manifestations of our passion."
The "Idol" passion certainly isn't only the judges', Urban adds. "I still marvel at people who can walk onto that stage with nothing but a microphone and sing a cappella in front of the four of us, and they have only a minute or less to do it. It never ceases to amaze me how bold and courageous they are. Sometimes, someone will say, 'I'm going to do a Mariah Carey song.' And I'll think, 'A Mariah Carey song, in front of Mariah Carey? OK … .' "
And yes, a Keith Urban song has been tried in front of Keith Urban during his "American Idol" tenure already. "I've had that happen a couple of times," he confirms, "and there is a bit of leeway you have to give. It's hard to rag on someone doing a cover of your song, so I have to handle that a bit differently."

Packers' 2013 seventh-round pick Dorsey catching up on lost time
Green Bay — Kevin Dorsey's toes and foot bear the inch-long, white scars of all three surgeries. The first two happened in college and the last one shut down his rookie season with the Green Bay Packers before it even began.
They are the reason why Dorsey is flying so far under the radar right now. In a receivers meeting room crowded with three draft picks — Davante Adams, Jared Abbrederis and and Jeff Janis — and returning challengers Jarrett Boykin and Myles White, Dorsey is the relatively anonymous No. 6 on the field.
And that's OK — for now.
Sitting at his locker in the very back of the auxiliary wing of the locker room, Dorsey smiled as he finished rubbing lotion on his feet. He's finally healthy and is ready.
"This is probably the first time I've been 100% since last year," said Dorsey. "I feel good, no pain."
At 6 feet 1 inch and 207 pounds, don't be surprised if Dorsey, who was drafted by the Packers in the seventh round a year ago, makes a lot of noise in training camp.
"Kevin is the body type you like, he's explosive, he can run," said Packers offensive coordinator Tom Clements. "He works hard. It's good to see him out there; he's improved."
Dorsey broke a toe in the third preseason game last year and underwent surgery. He had to stay off the foot completely and was on injured reserve for the entire 2013 season. He spent half of that time in Green Bay and the other half back home in Forestville, Md.
"If there was ever a downturn, mentally, I had my family there to support me," said Dorsey.
Dorsey said there really wasn't much he could do to prevent all of these foot issues. One toe was stepped on and broken. He was born with an issue in one foot and when it became inflamed in college, he opted for surgery so he could run, plant and pivot. But as he recovered and continued to play elite-level football at the University of Maryland, he put a lot of other pressure on his healthy foot.
"And the other one gave way," said Dorsey. "My feet are, I guess, just my Achilles' heel."
With the time off, he healed ahead of schedule and that helped him to be ready for the off-season work that began in mid-April.
"I could just get back at it, full force," said Dorsey. "It was good. It was actually kind of easy, because of the surgeries I had before. I knew what to do, coming into it, and how to prepare."
He also didn't worry about his status with the Packers.
"I felt like they would still give me a shot — as soon as I was healthy," said Dorsey.
Feeling grateful just to be back in the mix, Dorsey has been working with nine other receivers on the roster and four quarterbacks through organized team activities and now minicamp, which concludes Thursday. Dorsey said there are plenty of snaps to go around behind the current first group of receivers of Jordy Nelson, Randall Cobb and Boykin, and Dorsey can get in the important work with quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
"We get to know his throwing style, how he likes to call certain plays and do certain signals," said Dorsey.
After going through four quarterbacks during his senior season at Maryland, it's been nice for Dorsey to work with a consistent group of Green Bay QBs.
It's important that Dorsey be able to demonstrate that he can be moved around to different positions, especially with the frequency that the Packers run the no-huddle.
"He can certainly do it, he has the body type," said Clements. "Has the physique and the skills for it. He does a pretty good job as far as assignments when you move him around."
He is also being used generously on special teams as a kick returner, on the punt team as a blocker and gunner and on the kickoff team in a safety-type role.
"I love it, it's opportunity," Dorsey said of his special teams return duty. "It's about timing, making sure you have the same timing with the people in front of you — because they can't hold those blocks forever. You get to where you need to be when they're ready, then from there you just have to be an athlete and just run."
To prepare for this summer, Dorsey got stronger and worked on his speed but most of all he worked on his balance. He began with what he called a "realignment" of his hips, ankles and knees and tried something called dry needle acupuncture, which is supposed to help with deep muscle tissue tightness.
"It's kind of weird," said Dorsey. "When you get poked the first time, you don't really feel it, because it is a really thin needle, but when you get to a spot where you're having trouble — you realize, yeah, that's a trouble spot."
Then he really zoned in on his balance. This is critical for athletes. It is not good to favor one knee, foot or ankle coming back from an injury because some other part of the body might start overcompensating, and that puts new body parts at risk for injury.
The Packers have devices to measure balance, including a machine that looks like a blue rectangle pad. Dorsey can catch a ball on it or simply bend over to pick up a cup and see if he is favoring his injured foot or rolling his foot away to the side. The Packers have even used the Nintendo Wii balance board to look at their players.
And right now all the signs for Dorsey are good.
"I'm making sure everything was equal," said Dorsey. "Making sure one hamstring wasn't tighter than he other, one quad wasn't tight, one foot. If I know every step is equal, then my body will be fine. Right now, I am not sore, I am not tired, I am not anything — because everything is the way it should be."

The happy-fun DJ-producer Steve Aoki begins a new Wet Republic dayclub residency at the MGM on Sunday, and he promises it will be fun and silly.
He's calling it "Aokify Splash Las Vegas" (last I checked), and there's even an iPhone app for the pool party.
"I have an app called 'Aokify,' where you put all these little stickers all over pictures," Aoki tells me.
Can he give us an example?
"You have your photo. Then you put a cartoon hat on, and glasses, then you're throwing up a rainbow out of your mouth, while holding an alien and a water gun. It makes the pictures all crazy!"
Ha. Oh, that Steve Aoki is a fun guy, which is why we all love him.
Anyway, Sunday's "Aokify" party will be like the app, but in real life.
"It's all about making the party more fun, like wearing different glasses and hats, and accessories like boats and life rafts," Aoki says.
Other DJ-producer highlights at clubs and dayclubs this weekend:
■ The new Light nightclub was supposed to open at Mandalay Bay with DJ-producer Nicky Romero, but the club opening has been postponed until Memorial Day weekend.

Coachella please make yourself more accommodating for Courtney. Clearly that is the proper business move.
I am not so sure he mixed up the Polo clubs. Al Haagen is a shrewd businessman who is a well know pain in the ass when it comes to the negotiations for Coachella. Paul was very quick to say that he made a mistake about which club Skip meant. Why would GV's relationship with Eldorado be bad. Really all Eldorado does is lease GV land for camping. The Haagen's have the beautiful Empire Polo, the liquor license and all the infrastructure needed to make this thing work. Trust me Skip did not make a mistake about the polo club he was speaking about. Empire Polo is such an important part of what makes Coachella as special as it is. I would be very sad to see it move.
April 14-16 - Coachella

I can't believe the festival might move out of Indio. I hope it doesn't happen, my friends and myself have had some of the best times of our lives on those fields. Imagine what will happen to that city if the festival moves. They won't even be able to afford to hold the tamale festival anymore.
But with that said I'm all for the festival being moved to a different location in the same area, but moving it to OC or elsewhere would ruin it for me. Also, I'm all for a 24 hour fest and no beer garden like Mugwog and others mentioned.
Glastonbury line-ups are infinitely better than Bonnaroos though. Personally, I would love late (all night) sets and the like. An increase in capacity wouldn't bother me if they also increased the size of the area, tents, etc. (which they would).
Also, didn't Tollett say at one point that he wants Coachella to become the American Glastonbury?
In a backwards kind of way, I actually like the rush of conflicts and the race to curfew every night. It leads to a certain excitement that makes Coachella the festival it is.
A new festival with more room, more attendees, a different setting, and a later curfew would be a very different festival. I'm not saying that's necessarily good or bad at this point, but it would be very different.
8/7/16 - Sufjan Stevens @ Hollywood Bowl // 8/8/16 - Radiohead @ Shrine // 8/8/16 - Boris @ Regent

still lolling at this quote from the text message exchanges:
PAIGE: You will be forever known as the guy who got rid CoachellaKids are awesome. This is not personal.
For those who don't support the move, think about this:
• How hard would it be to rebuild something similar to the Empire Polo Club on another piece of land? Somewhat hard? Maybe. Impossible? Of course not. Build it and they will come.
• Besides the potential of longer and later sets, what about less conflicts because they have more time to space these acts out? Did Modeselektor really need to play at the same time as Flo, DJ Shadow, and At The Drive-In on Sunday night? Of course not. You know we all would have been there for their 2:30 a.m. set. In fact, let me elaborate... DO WE REALLY NEED ANY MUSIC IN THE SAHARA BEFORE THE SUN GOES DOWN? Exactly.
• Do we need more space for tent camping, car camping, and potentially bringing back RV camping? Of course we do. Does the possibility of dividing out camping areas into quiet and loud camping sound appealing? What about an afterhours that goes on until the wee hours? You can't do that with the space we have right now.
• With a visionary like Paul at the helm, imagine what he could do with a blank canvas. Imagine the possibilities of AEG giving him the ability to create the ultimate music venue from scratch. I drool just thinking about it.
Kids are awesome. This is not personal.
It has the ring of a new meme...
.................................................. ..............
She added the phrase "meany head" to my profile.I hardly think I'm an attention whore.I train birds of prey and am I licensed falconer
*Not hard, really. If you think about it, it's just a really huge lot of grass.
Seriously, think about what they could do with an empty canvas that they own and develop. Properly structured parking lots and a proper in-and-out system for pedestrians. Permanent bathrooms. Permanent showers. A field dedicated to camping. An RV area. Manmade lakes. Cabins with a/c. Permanent lounges/buildings with a/c (like the cantina). Space that is actually DESIGNED for the ebbs and flows of a festival rather than cramming a festival into an area.
"I don't see the big deal with the tax" is reason enough to move it. I'm betting the residents there (at least a great deal of them) don't get it either.Indio — The petition for a new ticket tax in Indio is still alive, even as the promoters of Coachella and Stagecoach vow to move the popular music festivals elsewhere — and possibly out of the valley — if the measure makes the ballot.
But Councilman Sam Torres said he would no longer pursue the petition if he can join negotiations with Goldenvoice for a long-term deal to keep the festivals at the Empire Polo Club for years to come.
Torres, elected to the City Council in 2010, has come under fire recently as one of the tax proposal's chief proponents. It would impose a 5 percent to 10 percent tax on admissions starting in 2014 to entertainment events with more than 2,500 people.
Some 2,664 Indio registered voters are required to sign the ticket tax petition in order for it to qualify for the ballot.
"Paul's words have been ringing in my ears," Torres said Monday, referring to Goldenvoice President Paul Tollett's threats Thursday to move the festival out of Indio over the proposal. "He's got a strong will. He can definitely make good on it."
But Torres said he believed Tollett might also have been "positioning" and "posturing" to get a better deal. The councilman wants to join the city's latest ad hoc committee to negotiate with Goldenvoice and help work out a deal that better benefits Indio residents.
Mayor Glenn Miller has the sole power to appoint people to such a committee. The committee to negotiate Goldenvoice's present two-year deal with the city included Miller, City Manager Dan Martinez, the city attorney and the city's finance director.
The council won't discuss who should join until its next regular meeting on July 18, Miller said Monday.
The mayor said he would pick only those who are best qualified. Miller declined to address Torres' request to join as a condition to drop the petition because he had not spoken to Torres directly.
"I'm not against Mr. Torres being on it, but I'm not going to pre-pick anybody," Miller said Monday.Miller also noted that there are other main backers of the petition besides Torres.
Two of those proponents, John Bingham and Al Meza, who paid the $200 application for the petition, said they would agree to drop the effort if Torres is selected for the committee.
"We're open to any reasonable consideration," Bingham, a member of the Indio Citizens' Finance Advisory Commission, said Monday. "I think certainly what we're after is some kind of permanent payment from them. I think some tax is reasonable for all entertainment features."
Bingham said he is not deterred by the threats to move the concerts.
Another main proponent of the tax, Pastor Carl McPeters of Kyriakos Christian Center in Indio, said Torres recruited him to lend his support.
"He contacted me and (shared) his intent to take it to the voters and his reasoning for the ticket tax," said McPeters, one of three Indio residents whose name will appear on a legal notice requesting the ballot measure and intent to circulate the petition.
"I don't understand what all the uproar is over a ticket tax that will benefit the residents of Indio," McPeters added. "From what I understand Goldenvoice has not committed to staying here anyway beyond next year."
Last week, Torres provided The Desert Sun with a recent series of text messages he exchanged with Goldenvoice Vice President Skip Paige.
Paige's messages indicated Goldenvoice had decided it would move from Indio after signing its latest two-year deal in 2011. The messages also indicated that no negotiations had taken place yet for a long-term deal.
However, Tollett said last week that Goldenvoice hadn't decided to leave, and that it still wants to stay in Indio.
Tollett declined to weigh in Monday on Torres' conditions to drop the petition.
"It is not appropriate for us to dictate who the city chooses to represent them in any negotiations, they need to run the city the way they see fit," he said in a statement Monday. "Throughout the years our communication and cooperation with the city has been one of the main reasons these shows are so successful. I would like to see that continue."
Look at how underdeveloped the area is...and it's closer to the mountains.
"But Councilman Sam Torres said he would no longer pursue the petition if he can join negotiations with Goldenvoice for a long-term deal to keep the festivals at the Empire Polo Club for years to come."
Sounds like extortion.
I thought I'd repost this comment to the article, before it gets erased by The Desert Sun...

I know. Just kidding with the picture. The local tribes are 100% supportive of their communities - especially the Agua Caliente & Cahuilla bands in Palm Springs. They give back to their community through very generous, voluntary support of the schools and other organizations and events. Sam Torres is very atypical, I agree.
Sam Torres is Mexican, lets just pretend he's an Indian from the Torres-Martinez Cahuilla Indian tribe though. Shit, ima mexican lookin Indian too me thinks. Mexican equals Indian though as far as facial structure right? It was until the Europeans came and started shagging all the darkbrowns and Redskins and created hybrids que no?

Caparrós is safe at Mallorca… for now
Even with seven defeats in eight games, the Mallorca board back their manager to turn things around.
- By Staff Writer Follow @insidelaliga
RCD Mallorca made a promising start to the season, going unbeaten in their opening five matches. Following a 1-0 defeat away at Getafe though, they've spiralled downwards on a terrible run, which has seen them lose seven of their last eight matches, with only a point gained from a draw away at Celta Vigo.
Losing 2-0 away at Rayo Vallecano at the weekend, the fortunes of the Balearic club don't seam to have improved, much to the frustration of both the fans and the manager.
For the moment though, whilst many managers would be looking over their shoulder following such a bad run of results, Caparrós currently has the support of the Mallorca board, who believe he's still the right man and will turn things around.
In spite of the vocal support of the board at the moment however, the pressure could mount come the half-way point in the season, if Mallorca continue to slide towards the relegation zone. If results haven't improved, the board may find themselves looking for change at the helm during the January transfer window, allowing a new manager input in any transfer dealings.
In December Mallorca face Real Zaragoza (H), Levante (A), Athletic Club Bilbao (H) and Real Betis (A). Four fixtures which could shape the destiny of the team and the fate of the manager.

Injury news on Davis/Doherty/Elokobi
Wolves expect David Davis to be ruled out for the season with the ankle injury sustained against Bolton on Saturday.
An MRI scan has confirmed ankle ligament damage which is likely to see the midfielder join the list of players whose 2012/13 campaign is now over.
The boss admits that the various impact injuries which have afflicted the players have come at just the wrong time with five games of the season remaining.
"It's another freak impact injury I suppose," said boss Dean Saunders.
"We got the MRI scan yesterday and I think he's out for the rest of the season with ankle ligament damage.
"The impact injuries are surprising – I broke my nose but I never broke any bones in my feet or my legs.
"And to lose possibly six players in four weeks – three to broken bones with Carl Ikeme, Dave Edwards and Sylvan Ebanks-Blake - is a nightmare.
"These are mostly all players who have been regulars."
Jay Spearing was booked for the challenge on Davis but the boss says injuries will happen in such a competitive game.
"It was a strong tackle but those sort of tackles are made by us as well, so I'm not going to complain about it," he added.
"Paul Robinson's tackle on Sylvan was a strong one but sometimes it's just bad luck – the player's foot is planted a certain way and his ligaments went.
"It's a man's game and it's just unfortunate that David had his ankle on the ground at the time of impact because he didn't go over, he hopped out of the challenge.
"I thought he was alright because he tried to carry on.
"It's just unfortunate we've had these injuries just as we've got the team going."
Defender Matt Doherty meanwhile is also under treatment after picking up an ankle injury at the Reebok Stadium, but does have a chance of being involved against Huddersfield on Saturday (3pm).
"Doherty might not be fit for Saturday," said the boss.
"He's rolled his ankle which is swollen.
"We're waiting on it to see if the swelling goes down."
The boss has backed both young full backs Doherty and Jack Robinson to continue making an impact between now and the end of the season, after both made promising impacts despite their relative inexperience at this level.
"Matt and Jack have done great," he said.
"On Saturday they were playing against Chung Yong Lee and Chris Eagles which was a different test for them which were maybe the two wide best players the've ever faced.
"They'll learn from it and from playing three games as week as well.
"I have to make decisions on whether you pull players out.
"I pulled Jack out for a couple of games and then put him back in.
"Doc will be the same and if I think they're on their knees, I'll change them.
"Foley is fit and Wardy is also chomping at the bit."
The boss has also admitted Ward could yet be an option playing up front given the injuries which have affected that department.
"Wardy came as a striker but I haven't really seen him play as a striker," said Saunders.
"I think I saw him play against Liverpool at Anfield a few years back, and he's been bending my ear about it!
"It's certainly an option for me."
Meanwhile there is positive news on George Elokobi, with the defender now not far away from a possible return after breaking his ankle on loan at Bristol City towards the start of the season.
"I think George might be available in a fortnight," said Saunders.
"During the next two weeks we'll try to integrate him into training and hopefully get him a friendly game.
"You never know what's going to happen to the rest of them so he's another player we can put in and he won't let us down.
"If the others get injured we're going to be really short."

Pitt got its fourth verbal commitment of the 2015 recruiting class today when Hallandale Beach (Fla.) cornerback Malik Henderson pledged to coach Paul Chryst and the Panthers.
Henderson announced his decision on his personal Twitter account with a collage of photos from past Pitt football games, along with the message " I am a Pitt Commit #Blessed #Pitt #PantherNation."
Henderson, Pitt's first 2015 verbal commit from outside of Pennsylvania, chose the Panthers over scholarship offers from Arkansas, Florida International, Florida Atlantic, Indiana and UMass.
Per NCAA regulations, he cannot officially sign with Pitt until Feb. 4, 2015.

Farmers Market opens Wednesday
The Langley Community Farmers Market just keeps on growing.
On Wednesday, May 23, the fourth annual market will open in the courtyard at Kwantlen Polytechnic University, showcasing fresh fruits and vegetables, baked goods, live entertainment, and much more.
Each Wednesday, until Oct. 3, the market will take place at Kwantlen's Langley Campus, 20901 Langley Bypass, from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m.
In addition to choosing from a wide selection of fresh produce, baked artisan breads and treats, prepared jams, pickles, and preserves, visitors will be able to talk with vendors and discover where their food comes from, how it's grown, and maybe learn a thing or two about cooking some favorite dishes.
"This is the time of year when our attention turns into anticipation as we count down the days until the opening of the farmers market," said John McKendry, president and vice-chancellor of Kwantlen Polytechnic University.
"The market has reached a level of success that is not usually attained by such ventures, and I think having the market on campus has a lot to do with that success. We hope the community will join us on campus and enjoy the wonderful produce available from local producers each week."
Bring your own basket or shopping bag, and peruse the more than 30 vendors who "make it, bake it, or grow it" and sell the very best that the region has to offer.
The Langley Community Farmers Market Society (LCFMS) is a non-profit organization that coordinates the farmers market with its operations based on the Kwantlen Langley campus.
It contributes to the economic viability of local farms and businesses, allows producers and customers to interact and provides public education about food security and availability.

SAN ANTONIO –A fugitive sex offender is on the loose in Central Texas.
Well-known fugitive Kevin Patrick Stoeser, currently on the U.S. Marshal's 15 Most Wanted and Texas' 10 Most Wanted Sex Offenders lists, has been spotted in Central Texas.
Since he has been seen a little under a dozen times in the Leander and Cedar Park area, the community has united to track him down by posting Stoeser's wanted signs all over the city, according to a video by KEYE-TV in Austin. Community members say that Stoeser has been spotted in restaurants, gas stations, and even a skate park.
"He doesn't need to be around here. That's why I'm putting his face out there. I want everybody to see him so he can't get away from any of us," community member Tana Key told the television station.
Hector Gomez, U.S. Marshal's supervisory deputy, said in a telephone interview that investigators are "spending a great deal of time" in the area Wednesday morning because there have been sightings since last week.
"Nothing satisfies me more than having the public involved, because it is a shared responsibility. It takes the public and law enforcement," Gomez said. "I'll tell you, that goes a long way. I wish a lot of communities did that."
He said investigators are reviewing tape recordings and interviewing witnesses who think they may have seen Stoeser last week. He added that a lot of people came forward after they saw Stoeser's profile on the CNN show, The Hunt with John Walsh, which aired Sunday.
"Now it's this, 'I think I saw him,' 'It could've been him,'" Gomez said. "We have very few people in the big picture that have 100 percent 'I know it's him.'"
He said most of the sightings are in the northern area of Cedar Park, on U.S. Route 183, on the southern border of Leander. He said since the area is an industrial area, business are reporting sightings of Stoeser.
Since the Sunday's program, Gomez says people all over the nation have supposedly seen Stoeser, even as far as Washington State, but the majority of calls have been from Central Texas.
Stoeser has been on the run since he escaped from the Austin Transitional Center in October, according to a news release from the U.S. Marshals Service.
Before he escaped the halfway house, Stoeser was serving the remainder of his 156-month sentence for four counts of child sexual assault and one count of possession of child pornography. He escaped through an emergency exit after a staff member at the halfway house confiscated his smart phone, which had about 26 images of underage children.
"When you have a fugitive like him who is predatory, his victims have always tended to be children. What concerns us is the obvious place where children are present," Gomez said. "We should all be actively looking for him, or at least know who he is."
When charged in 2003, Stoeser was also dishonorably discharged from the Army because of the charges.

The Ph.D. program in Organization Development (O.D.) is dedicated to better understanding the work of the O.D. professional within the context of global trends and emerging problems. It prepares management professionals with state-of-the-art education in the field. The coursework is designed for organization development professionals who perceive the management of change and the creation of high-performance organizations as central parts of their careers. It is designed as a full-time program (eight credits per quarter), integrated with and complementary to full-time work activities. Classes are generally held on weekends.
The first set of context courses concentrates on setting the tone and developing sensitivity to the role of organization development in terms of social responsibility in the national and global arenas. These courses review the nature of emerging problems and the role of organizations and organization development in responding to these problems. Heavy emphasis is placed on the philosophy of science and organization research and theory.
The second set of context courses places organization development within management and the strategic role of organization development. The second-year curriculum is devoted to the development of a core of organization development competencies and selected, advanced topics courses covering state-of-the-art interventions. Qualitative and quantitative research methods, as well as organizational theory and research coursework, comprise much of the second-year coursework.
The third year consists of continued advanced topics courses, including an international seminar and completion of the dissertation.

The specific time period for completing the dissertations varies by topic and type of study. On average, cohort members are expected to complete their dissertation within a three-year period from the start of the program.
Tuition remains fixed for the first three years of the program. If the research phase continues beyond the candidate's third year, degree candidates will be charged half tuition annually until the dissertation is successfully defended. Tuition does not terminate until the degree is completed. Tuition is due at the beginning of each academic year.
