Sedona's fav Christmas video

I'm shocked, I tell you, shocked it's U2!

I don't want to bore you with metaphysics, but how do you know this is an message board? Maybe it's a dream, or maybe it's an illusion, or maybe YOU don't really exist. One way to find out is to post a message, and if it's reality, I will reply.

Going viral on Facebook. Find this hat

Here it goes:
My name is Bridget Hughes and on Monday November 26 at around 12:30 a.m. I was at the B7 gate in Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport waiting to board U.S. Airlines flight 2918 to El Paso. My flight was cancelled. In all of the chaos that ensued me getting my new ticket and my hotel voucher I lost one of the most valuable things I own. It is a simple knit brown floppy hat from the Gap (pictured below). My mother passed away from Breast Cancer when I was 7. This is the hat she wore most often during her chemo treatments. My aunt gave it to me when I moved away after I graduated from college. It was one the only possession of hers I could constantly carry with me. I checked the gate the next morning, the hotel, and my shuttle van. It was nowhere to be found. I've contacted the Phoenix Airport Lost and Found, but I doubt I'll hear back from them. So, I've turned it over to the power of social media, all for a hat that represents the fierce goofy independent spirit of a woman that is my mother. If anyone is willing to just share this status, I'll be really grateful.

Democrat gaining as Arizona Senate race vote count drags on

PHOENIX (Reuters) - With several hundred thousand ballots still to be counted in the race for an Arizona Senate seat, a Democrat who earlier conceded the race to his Republican rival was gaining and appeared to have a distant shot at the seat after all.

Former U.S. Surgeon General Richard Carmona conceded on election night last Tuesday to six-term U.S. Congressman Jeff Flake after about three quarters of precincts had reported, showing Flake with a lead of about six percentage points.

But nearly a week later, with more than 340,000 ballots yet to be counted, the tally has tightened to about four points, leaving the Carmona campaign watching closely to ensure that each and every ballot is counted.

The most recent results show Flake in the lead by 79,547 votes in a race in which 2 million ballots were cast.

"We're monitoring it closely, and we want every ballot to get counted, and we will take any necessary steps to make sure that happens," said Carmona campaign spokesman Andy Barr.

Virginians lobby for dental care funding
Updated: 3/3/2010 3:00:15 PM

Virginians lobby for dental care funding On Tuesday, approximately 200 Virginia residents rallied at the state capital to implore lawmakers to approve a budget that would maintain funding for dental care.

Members representing the Virginians Organized for Interfaith Community Engagement organization lobbied for the General Assembly to adopt the State Senate's version of dental care provisions, rather than those proposed by the House, according to The Washington Post.

The organization has said that the main cuts to state-sponsored dental health programs would adversely affect local health centers and free clinics.

In addition to advocating for the General Assembly to maintain the current budget, community organizers also pleaded that lawmakers begin taking advantage of federal grants that are available through the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program, according to

"Virginia should not leave federal money on the table," said Reverend Keith Savage, senior pastor at First Baptist Church in Manassas.

Meanwhile, a national report recently gave the Old Dominion State a C grade for its policies regarding children's dental care. Virginia is one of a few states in the country where the only dental care Medicaid covers is emergency care.

But by most accounts he has won the wager. Kern’s move led a communitywide round of giving and ticket buying that will leave the CSO in the black when its 2011-12 season ends today. That’s a quick turnaround from last year’s $1.3 million deficit — a failure that provoked a back-and-forth of blame between musicians and management and calls for bankruptcy from the board.

Just seven months ago, the CSO was poison — so toxic that 20 trustees made an angry and abrupt exit when a move to make players part-time failed. Now it is re-emerging as something everyone wants a taste of.

Venues across the region are eager to book it; a reconstructed board is drawing prominent names; and the orchestra has added considerably to the number and type of concerts it will perform starting July 4 with its summer session.

A nonprofit certainly can’t claim a comeback in less than a year. It must prove long-term viability — and the CSO has far to go. But Kern, along with new chief executive Gene Sobczak (an organization veteran, recruited back from the Arvada Center) has pulled off the kind of short-term miracle the troubled classical music industry dreams about.

“What you hope to do is reverse the perception that you’ve been struggling at death’s door,” said Jesse Rosen, who leads the League of American Orchestras, based in Washington, D.C. “You have to change to a perception that this is a happening place to be.”

The CSO’s new strategy is wide-ranging, but it is based on a simple belief: Despite what you may have heard about classical music, the brand remains strong. It just needs to get down off its high horse. Orchestras must present themselves as service organizations, bringing music to the people, wherever the people are. They can’t look like an elite club that lets regular folk in on the occasional evening.

That’s become a routine mantra for saving classical music, but Kern — who found his own financial success negotiating large telecommunication deals — delivers it in a straightforward and characteristically sincere way, and he’s willing to do the dirty work to make it happen.

One notable example: In May, the CSO severed ties with the exclusive Denver Debutante Ball, which has passed along $4.2 million in party proceeds over 55 years. The situation is complicated (the ball and the symphony share a constituency and recent board skirmishes have caused some enmity within the social set) but Kern’s public position is that a democratic orchestra can’t formally associate with a group that allows some in, but not others.

Another example: Kern used his bartering powers to win fast trust from the musicians. Soon after he arrived, they agreed to another in a series of pay cuts and contract concessions, including a provision that allows the CSO to use their services in venues other than Boettcher Concert Hall. The move is key to the orchestra’s plan to increase revenues.

Musicians say personal persuasion had everything to do with it.

“He is very resilient and will go after what he needs for the organization,” said principal trumpet Justin Bartels. “He’s the kind of guy you don’t want to say no to.”

In some sense, the musicians feel they owe Kern. This is the second time he stepped in to save the CSO from financial disaster, helming a similar rescue effort in 2001. It was a group of players, in fact, who asked Kern and his wife, Mary Rossick Kern, to help out when this crisis came along.

The musicians reached out to the Kerns the last Sunday in September. Within a week, the couple returned to the board as its co-chairs.

Bold moves

Winning the musicians’ cooperation has allowed the CSO to set itself on a radically different course: embracing technology, exploiting classical music’s many forms and reprogramming for an age when all the performing arts are losing live audiences.

Among the moves:

• Reducing the number of big, symphonic pieces next season (though not the number of concerts) in favor of organizing musicians into smaller groups, such as chamber and percussion ensembles or brass quintets to broaden consumer appeal.

• Sending those less payroll- intensive ensembles into communities miles from the urban core. CSO musicians are set to perform at new municipal venues in Lone Tree and Parker, in Arvada and Vail.

Streaming concerts live over the Web and, soon, selling downloadable recordings, another income track.

• Teaming with pop culture powerhouses. In February, the CSO sold out a gig with Phish’s Trey Anastasio. It will back Natalie Merchant at the Botanic Gardens on July 17 and a Queen cover band at Red Rocks on July 29.

Sobczak is key to these efforts. Coming from the Arvada Center, a presenter of everything from plays to painting exhibitions, he brought a keen knowledge about the region. He also has a broad understanding of technology and the concert scene — he’s not strictly a classical guy — and pushes the organization forward on both fronts. It’s Sobczak’s job to sell the CSO’s new image as a nimble set of talented musicians who can play anything well, and anywhere, including schools, office events, rock venues, rehab centers.

For their part, the musicians are looking on the bright side. They have jobs, and the smaller ensembles will make their playing lives more interesting, allowing artists who can get lost in a 90-person act to step out. “I actually look at it as more of an investment in the future, more of a response to what the community wants and needs right now,” said principal tuba player Stephen Dombrowski.

Into the fire

Even with additional earned income, Kern and Sobczak will have to find money. The orchestra can’t cover a $12.5 million budget with box office receipts.

The board members who departed were important check writers, influential people with important friends who also contributed to the music. “I’m not going after the old money,” said Kern. ” ‘Cause I know there’s zero to no chance I will get it.”

That leaves him in a spot. He hopes to expand a “notoriously weak” donor base by making friends in new places, including the well-to-do south suburbs where the orchestra is also building audiences.

That burden will no doubt be shared by the new board members, who are growing in numbers despite the high demands of service. Trustees are expected to raise or give $25,000 annually. Denver’s philanthropic world is relatively small, and the CSO board’s recent and very public brawls have been thorny.

Still, Kern has lured dynamic personalities to the board, like communications executive Rich Kylberg and Channel 4 president and general manager Walt DeHaven. Recently, B.J. Dyer, who owns Bouquets Floral & Decor Co. and recently wrapped a successful capital campaign for Project Angel, signed on. He stepped up to help, though like other newcomers, he makes it clear he is not taking sides in old squabbles.

The chairman said he is looking to recruit a few more younger faces like trustee Dr. Christopher Ott, a local physician in his early 40s.

Issues remain

The CSO has other challenges and they are intertwined. Looming large is the problem of remaking city-owned Boettcher Concert Hall, its 2,300-seat home, plagued by subpar acoustics and a design that dates, unfavorably, back to 1978.

In 2007, Denver voters approved borrowing $60 million to pay for an improved hall. But that was contingent on the orchestra raising $30 million in matching funds. The CSO hasn’t even come close.

But a great orchestra needs a great hall, and the CSO is asking the city to give it the money anyway, though maybe a third as much for a more modest rehab, and with a greatly reduced match. The present city administration, seeing the CSO’s house in order, (and after sealing an agreement to collect $300,000 in overdue rent from Boettcher and Red Rocks) appears open to a deal.

The mayor’s office is working with “outside counsel” to determine how the money can be used, according to Kent Rice, director of Arts and Venues.

The city does need to keep up its properties and it has good reason to support the symphony — no politician wants to be blamed for its collapse. Still, giving money to an organization that many see as elite, without the match it promised, could be a tough sell to the City Council.

The CSO is offering something in return. New plans call for redeveloping Boettcher as a high-tech recording studio the CSO and other groups could use to create digital work that could be distributed via the Web. Denver, which likes to tout itself as a tech-friendly city, lacks a forward-looking facility like that.

“Why build the last great 20th- century hall when you can build the first great 21st-century hall?” asks Sobczak.

Finally, the orchestra is yet to name a new artistic director to replace its last conductor, Jeffrey Kahane, who announced his resignation four years ago. Symphony fans dream of connecting with a character like Marin Alsop, the former conductor who was respected as an artist and a part of the Denver community.

How do you lure someone with stature to an orgnization still proving its own viabilty? Compromises are being made. Kern, the symphony’s savior, says he’s got the stamina to figure it out.

“I told the musicians at an orchestra meeting the other day that this is the best thing I’ve ever done,” he said. “And it is.”

Baby gifts are a popular use for Artifact Uprising's beetle-kill photo boxes.
Baby gifts are a popular use for Artifact Uprising’s beetle-kill photo boxes.

How many photos lurk on your iPhone? How many would make great gifts, if you could but edit, organize, print and create something out of … oh, look, a Facebook like!

You know you’ve said this. So had Katie Thurmes and Jenna and Matt Walker — and they’re all professional photographers (Katie and Jenna are sisters).

So the trio launched Artifact Uprising ( as a website last year. The sell line: “Off your device / into your life.”

“Digitally, it’s become much easier to archive our lives, but it’s not transferred over to the tangible,” says Thurmes, who admits to owning 15 cameras but being addicted to the one on her phone.

This year, Thurmes and the Walkers created an app that lets you choose and arrange photos within your phone, then have the company create tangible objects that celebrate the moments the photos capture.

Those objects might be soft- or hard-cover books, a calendar or a one-of-a-kind wooden photo box made out of beetle-kill pine by Corbin Clay, a Denver woodworker whose own made-in-Colorado business is Azure furniture. Images can even be printed on the pine.

“There were many product ideas” on the drawing board for the company, Thurmes said, “and part of it was creating a product that wouldn’t be shipped from overseas.” They ran hard in the other direction, making 100 pecent recycled paper the only choice for their books’ pages.

And the trio found that the blue-swirled wood told a Colorado story that wasn’t widely known in other states.

The box is $95; the other creations range from about $17 to $69 for a hardcover book. Except for the hardcover books, which are printed in Nebraska, all of the items are made in-state. The website’s clientele is global — Australia, Europe, Canada, Hong Kong. As of now, though, the app is U.S. only (Android and international versions are in the works).

What knocks Thurmes out — and makes up for putting her professional photography on hold — is the way people gather around their creations.

“There’s something about the printed object that makes you slow down to think about those stories that have been lived,” she says, “and to tell those stories and make sure they’re told for years to come.”

Colorado is full of makers. If you know one, contact: Susan Clotfelter, 303-954-1078, sclotfelter@ or

He is certain because researchers trying to develop a test for CTE have essentially told him so, based on preliminary and unproven results.

To the 62-year-old DeLamielleure, the results are reassuring, offering a potential explanation for his sudden anger, depression and sleeplessness.

“They’re absolutely positive I have it. You can see it on the X-ray,” DeLamielleure said by telephone from his home in Charlotte, N.C.

The former Buffalo Bills offensive lineman and several other retired players were tested last year at UCLA by researchers who told them that changes seen on the scans are consistent with CTE. They were told their brains resemble those of retired players who killed themselves and were diagnosed with CTE during autopsies.

Dr. Julian Bailes, co-director of the NorthShore Neurological Institute in Evanston, Ill., is part of that research team—one of many groups racing to develop methods to diagnose and eventually treat CTE. Bailes and co-researchers at UCLA think they’re leading the pack with a PET scan technique to detect abnormal brain buildup of a protein called tau. The test involves injecting a special chemical marker that is designed to bind to tau deposits in the brain; those areas light up on the imaging scans.

Their first results in living patients—five former NFL players, including DeLamielleure—were published last year. Research involving about a dozen more former athletes and others with multiple concussions is expected to be published later this year.

For many skeptics, including doctors, neuroscientists and researchers working on developing different detection methods, CTE testing in the living is too preliminary to make any kind of diagnosis and raises serious ethical questions. The disease is progressive and can’t be cured.

Robert Stern, a scientist with Boston University’s Center for the Study of Traumatic Encephalopathy, has a National Institutes of Health grant to do that kind of research; his team has examined more than 70 former NFL players so far. He said results so far are promising, and medical ethicists have been consulted for guidance on what to tell players about the findings.

“This is a very complex issue, because, No. 1, we don’t truly know what many of the tests might mean. No. 2, this is a very vulnerable group of people who are scared to death about seeing their brothers have such significant cognitive and behavioral and mood changes,” Stern said.

“There has been so much hype about this issue,” he added. “The awareness and the attention to CTE has grown so tremendously in the last three to four years, but it has grown much, much faster than the science could possibly grow. We’re still in the early infancy of our scientific knowledge of this disease.”

Several former NFL stars have been diagnosed with the disease after death in recent years, including Junior Seau, Dave Duerson and Ray Easterling. All of them had troubling symptoms and committed suicide. Thousands of former players have sued the NFL, claiming the league withheld information about damaging effects of repeated head blows and concussions. DeLamielleure is among them, and he is also among those who have agreed to donate their brains to CTE researchers.

DeLamielleure estimates he endured more than 200,000 head blows during his 13-year NFL career—”dings” that made him see stars but didn’t worry him much—until word started spreading about CTE. When he learned last year about the experimental test, DeLamielleure eagerly volunteered.

“When I read what happened to Junior Seau and Dave Duerson—they didn’t sleep, had wild mood swings, and shot themselves in the chest—I wanted to know what I was going through before something happened,” he said.

There is much that isn’t known about CTE, including why some athletes with a history of head blows never get dementia or other debilitating symptoms, who is most prone and whether genes or other health conditions increase the risk. Some of the symptoms occur in many people who never played contact sports, and in other diseases, including Alzheimer’s.

And some of the symptoms in former NFL stars may have nothing to do with head blows.

Leonard Glantz, a bioethicist at Boston University’s School of Public Health, said CTE tests in the living should be billed as experimental and that participants should understand they are research subjects, not patients.

“You don’t want anyone making predictions about what their life is going to be like based on these” experimental procedures, he said. He contends the results won’t be valid unless they can be duplicated in large studies done by scientists with no financial stake in the research.

The test method used on DeLamielleure and others is owned by UCLA and licensed to TauMark LLC, a company in Wheeling, W.Va. UCLA researcher Dr. Gary Small has a financial interest in the company, a UCLA spokeswoman said.

The test is not commercially available but it likely will be “in the near future,” the company’s website says. Company representatives did not return calls and emails seeking more information.

DeLamielleure said he wasn’t told about UCLA’s financial stake, but it doesn’t surprise him.

Bailes said he worked with TauMark previously but has no financial ties to the company. He said “it’s ludicrous” to imply that it’s unethical for researchers to have a financial interest in drugs or procedures they develop.

He acknowledged that the tau test results need to be replicated, but added, “We are at this stage confident that the changes seen on PET scanning are consistent in location and density with CTE.”

Players involved requested their results “along with the best interpretation of what the findings represent,” Bailes said. “Many individuals desire to know if they are predisposed or confirmed to have abnormalities so that they can take whatever steps possible to mitigate or reduce the long-term detrimental effects.”

DeLamielleure said based on his test results, the researchers recommended a healthy diet and supplements including fish oil.

Many retired football players are likely interested in having their brains tested, guys like the Hall of Famers DeLamielleure gets together with sometimes for conversations that often turns to symptoms .

“You talk privately, ‘How do you feel? Do you get depressed? Yeah, I get depressed for no reason,'” he said. “Or you snap, just get upset for no reason at all.”

NEW YORK — It might be Ryan Howard to the rescue for the Philadelphia Phillies.

General manager Ruben Amaro Jr. said after the Phillies' 6-5 loss to the New York Mets on Thursday night that the star first baseman could return to Philadelphia on Friday.

David Wright singled off Jonathan Papelbon with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning in the latest loss for the NL East's last place team.

"That's very exciting," Hunter Pence said. "That's awesome. I look forward to seeing him."

Amaro said it depends on how Howard feels after his rehabilitation game for Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Thursday night.

The Phillies hope Howard, out all season after sustaining an Achilles injury in his series-ending at-bat against St. Louis in the first round of the NL playoffs last year, will give a team that has lost seven of eight and stumbled into last in the division a boost.

Cole Hamels outlasted Dickey in a matchup of All-Stars that fizzled from the start. Hounded by recent trade rumors, Hamels pitched seven gritty innings and had two hits. But the Phillies' suspect bullpen couldn't finish off the win after beating the Mets on Wednesday night.

Ike Davis began the ninth with a double off Papelbon (2-3). Thole sacrificed pinch-runner Ronny Cedeno to third before Kirk Nieuwenhuis struck out. Papelbon then hit Jordany Valdespin with a 3-2 pitch and walked Ruben Tejada on a full-count to load the bases.

Daniel Murphy then hit a sharp shot off Papelbon's glove and leg. It deflected back to the first-base line and everyone was safe.

"The way I look at it, this one's on me," Papelbon said. "The team went out and grinded as hard as it could."

Wright hit a soft liner that landed in front of a charging right fielder Pence to set off a wild celebration on the field and in the stands.

Dickey pumped his fist in the dugout and Justin Turner smashed a pie in Wright's face during a postgame interview as fans chanted "MVP!" for Wright.

"I think I had the worst at-bat that anybody had that inning," Wright said.

The Phillies fell to 3-9 in games decided in the last at-bat.

"It might sound like an old cliche, but the game is never over 'til it's over, like Yogi (Berra) said," Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said. "You try to stay even keel. You come out the next day and chip away."

Mets catcher Josh Thole prevented a run in the eighth when he held on to the ball despite being barreled over at home plate. Murphy lined a shot off Papelbon's leg for the tying run with two outs in the ninth, setting the stage for Wright.

Bobby Parnell (2-1) pitched the ninth for the Mets, winners of six of eight.

Wright hit a two-run homer in the fifth that gave the Mets a brief 4-3 lead and had an RBI single in the third.

Papelbon blew just his second save in 20 chances this season.

Philadelphia tried to add on a run in the eighth when Mike Fontenot attempted to score on pinch-hitter Chase Utley's single to left. But Thole caught the throw from left fielder Scott Hairston, braced himself and held onto the ball when he was slammed into by Fontenot.

Dickey matched a career high by allowing 11 hits, and perhaps gave National League manager Tony La Russa reason to end the debate over whether the knuckleballer should start the All-Star game. In his shaky final start before the break, Dickey gave up five runs — but still avoided a loss. He hasn't lost since April 13 at Atlanta.

"I didn't show a lot of consistency early on," Dickey said. "It seemed like they fed off that and waited on pitches. In a case like that you have to build off of when you don't have your best stuff."

Juan Pierre pushed a bunt up the first-base line to score Rollins with the tiebreaking run in the sixth inning after Wright put New York ahead 4-3 in the fifth with a two-out, two-run homer.

Dickey is coming off one of the best months in baseball history. In winning the NL pitcher of the month award for June, he went 5-0 with an 0.93 ERA and had consecutive one-hitters.

His July got off to a rocky start.

Jimmy Rollins, who was a homer shy of the cycle, walked leading off and, after two outs, Dickey hit his potential All-Star batterymate Carlos Ruiz with a pitch. Shane Victorino, a switch-hitter batting from the right side against the righty, lined an RBI single to center field for the first run against Dickey in the first inning this year.

Rollins reached base five times.

The last time these two All-Star pitchers faced each other — in 2010 — Hamels had the Phillies' only hit off Dickey. This time, Hamels popped up a sacrifice bunt attempt in the second inning but beat it out for a single because Dickey was slow to react and his throw to first was late. Rollins then hit an RBI double.

Comment on this story

Hairston hit his fifth home run in his 27th at-bat against Hamels, a leadoff shot in the second to pull the Mets to 2-1. Wright's RBI single an inning later tied it.

But the Phillies kept on connecting against Dickey and Pence had a run-scoring single in the fourth.

Hamels' second hit led to two runs in the sixth. He scored on Rollins' triple. Pierre's bunt gave the Phillies a 5-4 lead.

NOTES: The Mets recalled RHP Pedro Beato before the game. ... New York reacquired right-hander Chris Schwinden, claiming him off waivers from the Yankees and optioning him to Triple-A Buffalo.

SALT LAKE CITY — Before announcing plans to build six new temples on four continents, LDS Church President Thomas S. Monson told listeners to the church's semiannual general conference last October that "no church-built facility is more important than a temple."

"Temples are places where relationships are sealed together to last through the eternities," President Monson said. "We are grateful for all the many temples across the world and for the blessing they are in the lives of our members."

During the year that has elapsed since that conference, the church has been busily extending that blessing to members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in many parts of the world. In addition to the six new Mormon temples announced by President Monson last October — in Barranquilla, Colombia; Durban, South Africa; Kinshasa in the Democratic Republic of the Congo; Star Valley, Wyo.; Paris, France; and Provo, Utah — LDS leaders have dedicated four new temples, rededicated the Buenos Aires Argentina Temple following extensive renovation and broken ground in preparation for the construction of six new temples.

President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, second counselor in the First Presidency, traveled to Central America last December to dedicate the Quetzaltenango Guatemala Temple, the fifth LDS temple in Central America. As with all temple dedications and rededications, the opening of the new temple was preceded by several weeks of public open-house tours and a cultural celebration featuring young people from the temple district.

President Monson dedicated the Kansas City Missouri Temple on May 5, calling it a "stately and magnificent" structure that "will shine as a beacon of righteousness to all who will follow its light — the light of the gospel, the light of the Savior." The new temple is the second to be built in Missouri, an area rich with church history and prophetic promise.

In June, President Uchtdorf dedicated the Manaus Brazil Temple, which he referred to as "a beautiful temple in the heart of the Amazon." The completion of the Manaus Temple, Brazil's sixth, will save local church members a 15- to eight-day journey to worship and do ordinance work in temples in Sao Paulo, Brazil, or Caracas, Venezuela.

On Sept. 23, President Boyd K. Packer of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, a Brigham City native, dedicated the new Brigham City Utah Temple, the 139th temple of the church and the 14th in the state of Utah. More than 400,000 visitors participated in the monthlong open house for a temple that features state-of-the-art technology and historic pioneer aesthetics.

The church's 140th temple, the Calgary Alberta Temple, will be dedicated Oct. 28, with a cultural celebration scheduled for Oct. 27. Free reservations for the temple open house, which will be held from Sept. 29 through Oct. 20, can be obtained online at

President Henry B. Eyring, first counselor in the First Presidency, presided at the rededication of the Buenos Aires Argentina Temple on Sept. 9. The renovation of the temple, the church's 39th and the fourth in South America, added two new wings to the facility; new landscaping, including an entryway fountain; new decorative painting and gold leafing; and enhanced decorative wood trim. An additional building was constructed adjacent to the temple to provide housing for temple leaders.

Another temple rededication will take place in November when the Boise Idaho Temple is rededicated following extensive renovation of the grounds and interior, as well as the full replacement of the temple's variegated marble exterior with white granite. The temple — the 27th LDS temple in operation and one of four in Idaho — will be rededicated on Nov. 18, with a cultural celebration on Nov. 17. Free reservations for the temple open house Oct. 13 through Nov. 20 can be obtained at

Groundbreaking ceremonies heralding the start of temple construction have been held during the past year for new temples being built in Payson, Utah; Sapporo, Japan; Fortaleza, Brazil; Tijuana, Mexico; Indianapolis, Ind.; and Provo, Utah, where that city's second temple — the Provo City Center Temple — will be built on the site of the historic Provo Tabernacle, which was destroyed by fire in late 2010.

"The building of temples continues uninterrupted," President Monson said during last October's general conference, adding that the church is making progress in placing temples closer to church members.

There are 139 temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in operation around the world, with 14 more temples under construction and 13 in various stages of planning and preparation.

SALT LAKE CITY — When you're a team like the Colorado Rockies, opportunities to enjoy a sweet ride like the one they took in 2007 just don't come around very often.

And if you're a Rockies fan, you can't help but wonder: Will it every happen again?

Yes, 2007 was the year the Rockies reached the World Series for the only time in franchise history, and the way they did so was downright magical.

Colorado won 13 of its final 14 regular-season games that year to climb into a one-game, winner-take-all duel with the San Diego Padres for the National League wild card, and the Rockies won that showdown in wildly memorable fashion, 9-8 in 13 innings.

They then swept both the National League Division Series over Philadelphia and the National League Championship Series over Arizona, giving the Rockies an amazing mark of 21-1 over 22 games, many of them filled with intense pennant pressure.

But the glass slipper was soon shattered, as Colorado's Cinderella season came to an abrupt end in the 2007 World Series, where the Rockies were swept in four games by the Boston Red Sox.

However, for a franchise that has reached the NL playoffs only once since then (2009), and only three times in all during its 21-year existence, getting a chance to take that thrilling postseason joy ride again is what keeps ’em going day after day.

"I think that once you taste something like that, you want it again," team owner and CEO Dick Monfort said during a business trip to Salt Lake City this past week. "You get confidence in yourself and your teammates. And if you did it once, you start thinking there's no reason why you can't do it two or three or four times more right away. So I think the expectations are high in Colorado.

"I remember (former team owner) Jerry McMorris telling me maybe the worst thing they did was getting in the playoffs two or three years after we became a franchise (1995), because then the expectations were, 'Well, we can do this, so let's go do it every year.'

"One of the problems is there's 29 other teams that have the exact same goal in mind, and they've all got smart people and everybody's working for that. And there's only eight of ’em that get to go to the playoffs," Monfort said. "It's tough."

Monfort said that there are very few franchises like the big-spending New York Yankees whose rich winning tradition, bright-lights-big-city lure and deep, deep pockets can make that "let's go do it every year" mentality a reality.

After all, when the Yankees missed out on last year's postseason party, it marked the first time since 2008 — and only the second time in 19 years — that the "Evil Empire" did not make the playoffs.

Unfortunately for Monfort and the Rockies, it doesn't quite work that way in places like Colorado, where they've experienced seven winning seasons in 21 years, including only three in the last 13 years.

"You look at the Yankees last year with all their injuries and all the people they had down, they didn't make the playoffs and they didn't run out there the greatest 25 guys in the world," the Rockies' owner said. "And yet they won more games than they lost (85-77). It's their culture, it's the way they are.

"The Yankees expect to win, so we've got to get our organization where we expect to win and we are playing meaningful games in September. That's what we strive for every year. We've got to make that sort of a ritual, like that's the way it goes around here.

"They didn't make the playoffs last year, so they go out this year and spend some really big bucks to try to make sure that doesn't happen again," he said of those envied players in Yankee pinstripes. "We don't have that luxury. We have to maintain the players we've got, we've got to make sure we're developing players to take the places of those that are gonna leave and that we're prudent in the guys that we get that we do sign to come in.

"Their model may be a little easier, I don't know, but you've still got to get the right players. And there's an art to that and you've just got to make sure you're turning every stone to find those right players."

One great thing the Rockies do have going for them, Monfort says, is their geographical location. They're sandwiched nicely between the West Coast/Pacific Northwest teams and those franchises in the Midwest and Southwest, thus making them arguably the best option for Major League Baseball fans living in the Rocky Mountains.

"We're in a great geographical position because we have a lot of people that live right in downtown Denver," Monfort said. "We've got great weather and we offer soup to nuts. We offer a $2 ticket and we offer a $200 ticket. So whatever your fancy is, we try to make it to where anybody that wants to come to the game can come to the game.

"That's one of our goals," he said of the Rockies' regional profile and popularity. "Not only in Utah, where Salt Lake is a one-hour flight away, but you look at the other neighboring states. You look at Wyoming, and we have a lot of people that come down from Cheyenne and Laramie, and Nebraska, even people from Kansas and New Mexico.

"We'd like to be more than the Colorado Rockies, we'd like to be the Rocky Mountain Rockies. And that's a goal of ours to build the brand, not only with the surrounding states but everywhere."

Monfort is an advocate for baseball's expanded use of instant replay this year, and he commends the sport for the way it has handled the ugly steroids allegations that plagued professional sports for several years.

"We're trying to get the game to where it doesn't last three hours, and I know this isn't helping it," he said of using instant replay to review umpires' calls. "But there's other ways that we can speed up the game. So if you've got to take two minutes or five minutes in a game to get the right call and it means something to somebody down the road, then we ought to try to do that. I think with the technology you have today … we ought to be using it.

Comment on this story

"I think baseball's in a great spot. I think there are some challenges, but I think they've faced most of their challenges, and I think they've faced it a lot more than any of the other leagues — the steroids — and I think a lot of that has to do with baseball and the players union working together. I don't know what percentage of the players it is, but the players that aren't using anything are definitely not for anybody else using it. They want a level playing field, and I think it's worked out great that they've sort of led the drive on this.

"So I think baseball is in a great place," he said. "It's a good sport, and it's the only real summertime sport. I do think we need to get the games a little quicker. The money's getting a little absurd, but I guess that's what happens. But I think it's in a great place, and I think the Rockies are in a great place. We've got all the wheels moving. We've got a great farm system; we're developing our players a little differently than some of the other teams. We've got a great academy in the Dominican; we've got a great spring training facility in Scottsdale, and we've got a beautiful stadium in a great city in Denver. So I think we're in a very good place."

Even if they're not, nor ever will be, those darned deep-pocket Yankees playing in the more desirable market of the Big Apple.

    Default Showerless Aamir Dalvi

    Follow us on Social Media

    Aamir doesn't shower to get into character for Shapath...

    Aamir Dalvi who in this past weekend's Hum Ne Li Hai...Shapath episode had to don the avatar of a tantric baba, decided to skip his morning showers to get into the role. Aamir reveals, "I avoided having a bath before heading to shoot and also avoided using a deodorant. It surely wasn't an easy task! However, it made me sweaty and worked in helping me get into the character!"

    Aamir Dalvi seems to be one actor who is working hard to get into his character from having sported a mustache for his cop role to now not showering for his tantrik baba avataar. Way to go Aamir!

Developing PHP Applications with NetBeans and Eclipse : Page 4

Discover the convenience of developing PHP applications using two of the most popular and powerful IDEs on the market, NetBeans and Eclipse.

Implementing booksPHP Code in Eclipse

As you know, the booksPHP project contains two additional PHP pages, named database.php and search.php. To create a PHP page in Eclipse follow next steps:
  1. In the Project Explorer view, right-click on the project name and select New → Other from the context menu.
  2. In the New window, expand the PHP node and select the "PHP File" leaf item. Click Next.
  3. On the next page, set the Source Folder to your project location, and enter database.php (or search.php) in the File Name field. Click Next.
  4. Finally, select a template for the initial content. In this case, select the "New simple PHP file" and option, and click Finish.
While implementing PHP code don't forget to take advantages of Eclipse's PHP views and the code assistant.

Implementing AJAXjs.js—Eclipse Style

To complete the project code, you need to implement the JavaScript AJAX portion. To create a JavaScript file in Eclipse:
Figure 13. Eclipse Code Entry Features: You can see some code highlighting and code assistance features in action in this figure.
  1. In the Project Explorer view, right-click on the project name and select New → Other from the context menu.
  2. In the New window, expand the JavaScript node and select the JavaScript Source File item. Click Next.
  3. On the next page, specify the page name in the File name field (AJAXjs.js in this case), and click Finish.
Eclipse adds the new JavaScript file and opens it in the editor. Before entering the code, you should know that Eclipse offers a JavaScript perspective and a set of dedicated views that you can activate from the Window → Open Perspective → Other → JavaScript menu.

Author's Note: Eclipse also provides a JavaScript validator (reachable through the Window → Preferences → JavaScript → Validator menu); however, I don't recommend using it right now, because the validator has problems understanding JavaScript code.

While typing the AJAXjs.js code, be sure to take advantage of Eclipse's code highlighting and code assistance features (see Figure 13).

Create the Books Database—Eclipse Style

Figure 14. Installing the Database Development Perspective: In the Available Software panel, find the Ganymede Update Site, check it, and it will populate a list of plug-ins, among which you'll find Database Development. Check that and click Install to download and install the plug-in.
The Eclipse PDT doesn't offer support for database development. But Eclipse has many plug-ins, among which is the Eclipse Data Tools Platform. According to the Eclipse site, this feature "provides extensible frameworks and exemplary tools, enabling a diverse set of plug-in offerings specific to particular data-centric technologies and supported by the DTP ecosystem." For the purposes of this project, you should know that DTP adds (among other things), a new perspective, named Database Development, that will help you develop the books database. Installing this feature is a simple task that you can accomplish as follows:

  1. From the Help menu, select Software Updates.
  2. Switch to the Available Software tab.
  3. In the Available Software panel, locate the Ganymede Update Site entry (if it is not in this list, then click the Manage Sites button and activate it from that list).
  4. Check the Ganymede Update Sites item and wait for it to populate the list (you should see something similar to Figure 14).
  5. Select the Database Development checkbox and click the Install button.
  6. You'll see a dialog similar to Figure 15.

    Figure 15. Database Development Items: Check the items that you want to install.

  8. Select all the checkboxes and click Next. From this point, the install process is clear and intuitive, so I won't go into more detail here. Just as a reminder, though, when the installation completes, restart Eclipse before you continue.
If you get here, then you probably successfully installed DTP, and you're ready to develop the books database. To begin, launch the Database Development perspective by clicking the Window → Open Perspective → Other → Database Development menu item.
Author's Note: Eclipse needs a special driver to connect to a RDBMS such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, etc. You can download the MySQL Connector/J driver for this purpose (MySQL Connector/J is the official JDBC driver for MySQL). After unzipping the driver, you should obtain a Java Archive named mysql-connector-java-5.1.7-bin.This archive should be located in a convenient place on your machine (in the MySQL home folder can be a solution).

Now, in the left side of the screen you should see the Data Source Explorer view. Because you just installed DTP, you don't have any database connections yet, so here's how to create a connection to MySQL:

  1. Start your MySQL server.
    Figure 16. Define New Database Driver: Click the New Driver Definition button to define and configure a driver for MySQL.
  3. In the Data Source Explorer view, right-click on Database Connections and select New from the context menu.
  4. In the New Connection Profile wizard, select MySQL from the list of connection profile types, and click Next. You may optionally type a name and a description for this profile.
  5. Next select a driver for MySQL. Because you won't find one defined by default, configure it like this:
  6. Click the New Driver Definition icon (see Figure 16).
  7. In the New Driver Definition window, on the Name/Type tab, select "MySQL JDBC Driver for 5.0 system version." (If you don't see the driver templates, expand the Database node.)
    Figure 17. Driver Details: Enter the MySQL driver details as shown here.
  9. Switch to the Jar List tab and remove all the driver files from the corresponding list (use the Clear All button).
  10. Click Add JAR/Zip button and point to the MySQL Connector/J driver you downloaded earlier.
  11. Switch to the Properties tab and set the properties as shown in Figure 17:
  12. Click OK.
  13. Click Finish.
In a few moments, if no errors occurred, you should see something similar to Figure 18 in the Data Source Explorer:
Figure 18. New Database Connection: After adding the MySQL driver and configuring the connection, the new connection appears under the Database Connections node.

Figure 19. Creating and Populating the Books Database: Here's the SQL to create and populate the books database in the Eclipse Open SQL Scrapbook.
Once again, you need to execute some SQL to create the books database, the bookstore table, and populate that table. To do that, right-click on the MySQL_books connection and select the Open SQL Scrapbook item. That launches an SQL editor where you can enter/edit the desired SQL statements (see Figure 19).

Save this file as books.sql under your project root. Finally, execute the SQL statements. To do that, switch back to the PHP perspective. In the PHP Explorer view, expand the booksPHP node and right-click on the books.sql file. Select Execute SQL files from the context menu and wait until the database is created. The execution status gets reported in SQL Results view, which you can activate by clicking Window → Show View → Other → Data Management.

Author's Note: To connect or disconnect from a database, select the Connect/Disconnect option from the context menu that appears when you right-click on a database connection in the Data Source Explorer view in the Database Development perspective.

Run booksPHP—Eclipse Style

Running the application is simple. First, ensure that Apache HTTP Server and MySQL Server are running properly. Next, select index.php in PHP Explorer view and select Run → Run As → PHP Web Page from the menu. You will be prompted for the URL (which for this example is http://localhost/php/booksPHP/index.php), and you should see the application open in a browser.
Author's Note: From the Run → Run As menu you can also elect to run PHP scripts using the PHP interpreter.

In closing, it's important to mention two things: First, this article is not a NetBeans vs. Eclipse for PHP comparison piece. Instead, I've chosen to simply provide walkthroughs, and leave it to developers to choose which IDE is best for them. Second, I've intentionally skipped debugging, because the topic is too large, and trying to include it here wouldn't do it justice.

Finally, because I just told you what this article is not, let me revisit what it is! The goal of this article was to present some of the main PHP features in NetBeans and Eclipse. You saw how to capitalize on some of the most convenient features, such as creating new projects, using auto-completion, connecting to MySQL, creating and modifying databases directly from the IDE, and deploying and running PHP applications in easy and elegant ways. Whichever IDE you choose, you'll find that it will improve your development.

The Buddha's True Face

Postby Kusala » Thu Jun 09, 2011 1:07 am

"In about the first half of the 5th century, a statue was installed in the then newly built Mahabodhi Temple and within a very short time the belief arose that this statue was a portrait of the Buddha. It came to be known as the Image of the True Face or more commonly, as the Mahabodhi Image." ... ace-i.html

"He, the Blessed One, is indeed the Noble Lord, the Perfectly Enlightened One;
He is impeccable in conduct and understanding, the Serene One, the Knower of the Worlds;
He trains perfectly those who wish to be trained; he is Teacher of gods and men; he is Awake and Holy. "

"The Dhamma is well-expounded by the Blessed One,
Apparent here and now, timeless, encouraging investigation,
Leading to liberation, to be experienced individually by the wise. "

Re: What "natural" parenting choice freaked your family and friends out the most?

My attempted UBAC last year with my LO probably takes the cake. My mother was even slightly concerned and she's usually very crunchy herself.

Other then that the non-vaxing is an issue in my extended family. My aunt is an ER doc, and didn't have much nice to say when she found out none of my children have had any vax.

The Aaron Rodgers Burger – Nobody Should Tackle This Gut Bomb

The National Football League, the most profitable and popular professional sports league in America, kicks off regular season play in less than a week. Six years ago, the NFL put its massive appeal to good use, founding the Play 60 program to tackle childhood obesity and encourage a more active generation of children. Most NFL media coverage is centered around head injuries, Fantasy Football, murder charges and twitter rants, but the league continues to make strides fighting the obesity epidemic with national activities for kids. However, when a few members of the Green Bay Packers had the opportunity to design their own hamburger recipes to be sold at Curly’s Pub in Lambeau field on game days, they did not have health on the brain and undermined the efforts of Play 60.

A Rodgers Burger

While Play 60 aims to get children to play for 60 minutes a day, anyone who eats the Aaron Rodgers burger will need to play for 120 minutes after they wake up from their food coma. The Aaron Rodgers burger does not come with an artery brush, but it should. Here’s what you get: bacon, swiss and havarti cheese, avocado, pickles, jalapeno, onion rings, mayo, ranch, and PEANUT BUTTER—all with a side of fresh Wisconsin cheese curds. Just like mom used to make—if she hated you. Peanut butter is a trending burger topping, but next to ranch, mayo, and avocado, it seems like a flavor rainbow from hell.

Among the other Packers who were lucky enough to build their own burger, bacon, avocado, and onion rings seemed to be popular toppings. Packers coach Mike McCarthy’s burger is loaded with a whole ham hock, while receiver Randall Cobb’s burger is smothered with BBQ sauce. This is not a good example for the hordes of little Packers fans who will flock to Lambeau for a ballgame this year. Even though 10 percent of the food sales will go to a charity of the player’s choice, these 2,000 calorie burger bombs are a travesty. If Burger King debuted the new Double Cheese, Bacon and Ranch, Peanut Butter Jalapeno Burger, and served it up with a side of squeaky curds, the entire nation would cry foul.

Everyone from the FLOTUS to Pizza Hut has been reforming the status quo in an attempt to create a more food-conscious society but the NFL seems to be above all that. Fortunately, the waiting list for Packers tickets is about 100 years long, so only a select few thousand people will have access to these nauseating burgers.

Each New Aspen Dental Office Opening Contributes More Than $1.3 Million In Positive Economic Impact; Creating Jobs And Investments That Support Local Community Growth

Aspen Dental-branded offices now in 27 states with more than 400 locations

PR Newswire

SYRACUSE, N.Y., Nov. 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- A July 2013 Syracuse University Whitman School of Management study reveals that the opening of a new Aspen Dental-branded office generates a significant positive economic impact of more than $1.3 million on a community.

The study analyzed data from a 12-month period, taking the following key factors into account:  investment in office construction, furniture and fixtures; jobs created and wages and benefits paid; taxes; and investment in marketing and advertising.

"We're on track to open 55 new locations in 2013, and are proud that those offices not only benefit patients though access to quality, affordable dental care, but also the local communities in terms of investment and job creation," said Brian Holtz, director of new office development at Aspen Dental Management, Inc.

Each new office generates an average of ten healthcare professional and office staff jobs in the local community.

"The local economic impact is significant," said Terry Brown, executive director of the Falcone Center for Entrepreneurship at Syracuse's Whitman School of Management, who oversaw the research. "In addition to a positive impact of more than $1.3 million on one community alone, we must also recognize the positive qualitative impact of opening a dental practice in underserved communities, including increased access to dental care for citizens and the number of jobs created."

Must Have Lenses For A Digital Photography Pro

0 Flares 0 Flares ×

Do you want to produce professional digital photography? Then you need 3 significant basic lenses, which will help you to increase the quality of your work.

These are a general purpose zoom lens, a macro lens and telephoto zoom lens.

telephoto zoom lens

The first of them, the general purpose zoom, is suitable for 35 mm format cameras, as well as for APS-C cameras and works perfect in 18-50 mm range. It is often used for universal images like landscapes and wide perspective shots.

APS-C camera lensThe macro lens is needed if you are shooting small and tiny objects, whose details cannot be captured easy. The perfect length is 50 mm f/2.8 macro.

Another “must have” in digital photography is the telephoto zoom lens, especially for moving objects. In case you need to make portraits or images, which are hard to focus, use telephoto zoom lens. The best usage is in range of 70-200 mm and don’t forget the aperture must be of f/4 or faster.

Binge viewer could change traditions

Enlarge Image Request to buy this photo
A scene from 24, starring Kiefer Sutherland — among the first series to draw binge viewers

LOS ANGELES — Stricken with pneumonia, Thomas Toth became inseparable from the suave Don Draper.

Toth watched all five seasons of the AMC drama Mad Men from his sickbed during a two-week viewing binge. He became so captivated by its fictional admen that he began sporting skinny ties and drinking old-fashioneds.

“The nuances of the storylines are getting so complicated — they’re introducing characters in episode two, and that character comes back in episode six — (that) I can digest things a lot quicker and easier when I binge on them,” said the Denver resident, 44.

Toth has plenty of company.

Services such as Hulu and Netflix, along with digital video recorders, have transformed the TV experience by enabling viewers to devour multiple episodes or even entire seasons of Downton Abbey or The Wire in marathon sessions.

Netflix is making a massive bet that it can satisfy the addiction that it helped to create.

At 12:01 a.m. Friday, the service premiered its first original series: a political drama called House of Cards, starring Kevin Spacey.

In a departure from TV tradition, the entire season of House of Cards — 13 episodes — became available at once, at the click of a button.

Millions of Americans are binge-viewing serialized dramas and comedies, including those that are no longer available on the network prime-time schedule. Hits such as the espionage thriller 24 and cult favorites such as Arrested Development — both of which aired on the Fox network — have found new life on Netflix, as have past seasons of FX’s American Horror Story and ABC Family’s Pretty Little Liars.

The phenomenon is so pervasive that a majority of Americans ages 8 to 66 say they have engaged in this sort of copious TV consumption, according to a study conducted by media consultant Frank N. Magid Associates.

“We’re finding that people who binge-view once binge-view again,” said Jack MacKenzie, Magid executive vice president.

Such instant gratification flouts network scheduling traditions.

Hollywood has always fed audiences a diet of “Wait a week, and we’ll give you new episodes; then wait a season, (and) we’ll give you another season,” said Ted Sarandos, chief content officer of Netflix.

“The Internet is attuning people to get what they want when they want it,” he said. “ House of Cards is literally the first show for the on-demand generation.”

Netflix committed a reported $100 million for two seasons of House of Cards, based on a strong script and the pedigree of the creative team of director David Fincher (The Social Network and Fight Club) and writer Beau Willimon, who received an Oscar nomination for the 2011 political drama The Ides of March.

“We wanted to go all in,” Sarandos said. “It’s important to signal . . . that we’re moving into this space in a meaningful, big way. So we did it loud.”

If successful and others emulate it, the gambit could begin to unwind 60 years of serialized TV convention. Yet broadcast and cable programmers have shown no inclination to release multiple episodes simultaneously.

Such all-you-can-eat viewing is certainly not a new phenomenon.

Fox executives first noticed the binge-viewing phenomenon with 24 as fans bought DVDs of the Kiefer Sutherland drama, with some people watching multiple episodes in a single weekend.

Networks broadcast TV “marathons” to provide catch-up viewing and create anticipation for a new season of a returning show.

And the DVR made it possible for viewers to record an entire season’s worth of a show, to be watched in big gulps later.

But binge viewing threatens to shake up the status quo of television.

“It’s the viewer saying, ‘I will watch it how I want to watch it — in some cases, without commercials,’  ” said Jeffrey Cole, director of the Annenberg School Center for the Digital Future at the University of Southern California.

“It’s television on my terms.”

UPS Begins Direct Service to China

Share this content:
United Parcel Service of America Inc. began the maiden voyage of the UPS China Express yesterday, the inaugural UPS flight to China, from the Ontario International Airport in Ontario, CA.

UPS, Atlanta, plans to deliver to every address in the People's Republic of China by year's end. UPS said the flights to China will strengthen the company's global capabilities, improve transit time for shipments and increase reliability

With these new flights, UPS will offer the broadest portfolio of services to customers shipping to and from China, said Jim Kelly, chairman/CEO of UPS. "It's further proof that UPS is a global carrier that not only moves goods, information and funds but also connects today's global businesses with markets and producers worldwide."

UPS' flights to Beijing and Shanghai depart just two months after the U.S. Department of Transportation awarded the company rights to operate direct air service from the United States to China.

The company now will operate six UPS Boeing 747 flights a week between the United States and China. Four flights will originate in Ontario, and two will depart from Newark, NJ. The UPS Boeing 747 aircraft has a payload of 240,000 pounds. The direct-to-China service is projected to add about $100 million in revenue for UPS in its first full year of operation.

Before being awarded direct air rights, UPS served China through Hong Kong. The company has been operating in China since 1988 through its partner, Sinotrans. UPS China continues to experience rapid growth in that market with export volume in 2000 increasing more than 45 percent over the previous year.

"UPS expects continued strong and robust growth in China," Kelly said. "We take a long-term approach to any expansion and believe the opportunity in China is great enough to overcome any business cycle."
