Three people were killed and two wounded when a gunman opened
fire in the Swiss village of Daillon.
The suspect threatened police when they tried to arrest him,
and officers shot and wounded him before taking him into
custody, police of the Swiss canton of Valais said in a
statement. No police officers were wounded.
Swiss website 20minutes.ch reported that the gunman was a
resident of the village aged about 30 who was armed with an
assault rifle and had been drinking heavily.
It quoted a villager as saying one of the dead was a woman in
her 80s.
Special police units and local police forces were alerted by
a caller who said several people were lying wounded on the
ground at about 8.50pm (local time), the police statement
It said the incident was being investigated and the site had
been closed off. More information would be released at a news
conference in the village, which is close to the town of
Sion, the capital of the canton - or region - of Valais.
Mass shootings are rare in Switzerland, although gun
possession is widespread - some estimates run to at least one
for every three of its 8 million inhabitants.
Many are stored in people's attics, a legacy of Switzerland's
policy of arming its men to defend its neutrality.

North Stonington — Clues at the scene of a break-in early Saturday led state police to a Massachusetts man they spotted walking about a half-mile south of the burglarized home, police said.
Troopers responded to a residential alarm at a home on Route 2 at 12:36 a.m. and discovered a broken window pane in the rear door, with blood on the door. There were also shoe prints around the home, police said. While conducting a canvas of the surrounding area, police spotted a male with an obvious hand injury walking south on Route 2. The tread on his shoes matched the shoe prints at the scene, police said. A subsequent state police K-9 track also led police from the residence, south on Route 2 and to where the man was spotted.
Benjamin Alves, 31, of Revere, Mass., was given medical attention for minor cuts to his hands, police said. He was charged with possession of less than half an ounce of marijuana, third-degree burglary, third-degree criminal trespass, third-degree criminal mischief and attempt to commit a crime. He was held in lieu of a $10,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in New London Superior Court on Monday.
Police did not say whether there were any occupants in the house during the incident.

Former MTV VJ rolls with times: He's an AppJ now
Published: Wednesday, July 7, 2010 at 9:11 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, July 7, 2010 at 9:11 a.m.
Adam Curry became an overnight media sensation as a VJ on MTV in the late 1980s and early '90s. He channeled his inner geek as a podcaster in the 2000s that earned him the nickname The Podfather. Now, he has another title in mind.
"I'm the first AppJ," he says, chuckling.
Curry is at it again. His latest project, The Big App Show, is a free iPhone app that serves as a daily video show about new, cool iPhone apps. It was downloaded 70,000 times the first two weeks it was available, in late May. (It is now up to 140,000 downloads.)
"I let the app I'm highlighting be the star, much like old music videos," Curry says.
With more than 225,000 iPhone apps out there, consumers need all the help they can get navigating them, says Curry, who faces a thicket of competition from other app guides.
On The Big App Show, Curry delivers breezy two- to four-minute features on "really cool" apps. He plays with the app on an iPhone so users can see how it works, rather than forcing them to stare at static screenshots.
Curry decided on the format after he grew frustrated "wading" through iTunes much as CD buyers once did at music stores. "It pretty much sucked looking for apps," he says.
Curry has taped 65 "appisodes" of The Big App Show and is scouting for other on-air talent to demo games, business programs and other "kick apps." Some of his favorites apps include Taxi Magic, a taxi-booking service, and SoundHound, an instant music search and discovery tool.
As a pioneer in podcasting - his Daily Source Code and No Agenda show are popular draws online - Curry sees The Big App Show as a natural progression.
"This is an obvious throwback to my roots: I'm host of a mini-MTV-like network," says Curry, 45, who is based in Los Angeles and is president of digital-entertainment network Mevio. "This thing is on fire."
Curry gets a percentage from the sales of apps featured on his show, and he expects revenue through iAd, Apple's mobile-advertising platform. But he shies away from reviews - both to avoid the influence of app developers and to build an audience.
"This is a show, not a review," he says. "Why would I show crappy apps I don't like? I'm in the audience business. I wouldn't play songs or crappy music videos I didn't like either."
"I know about building audiences. That's what I do," Curry says. "The revenue will come later."
Your iPhone app guides
Curry isn't the only one eyeing potential riches with an iPhone app guide. Several services have sprouted the past year, though none has established itself as the market leader.
"There is no definitive service or show but many contenders," says Mike Germano, president of digital agency Carrot Creative, which builds iPhone apps. "Everyone is trying to be the authority."
Online services with names such as Chomp, Chorus and Revision3 are helping consumers find mobile app gems. They're vying for a piece of the surging mobile apps market, where revenue from downloads, advertising and virtual goods is expected to grow to $17.5 billion in 2012 from $4.1 billion in 2009, says Ben Keighran, CEO of Chomp, an app discovery engine for iPhone apps that launched in January.
"The market is big and getting bigger," says Keighran. Chomp, which has a social-media bent, has been downloaded more than 400,000 times and earns undisclosed revenue as an Apple affiliate. It eventually plans to sell advertising.
Overall mobile app downloads are expected to skyrocket, to 50 billion by 2012 from 7 billion in 2009, according to Chetan Sharma Consulting. More than 50 million iPhones have been sold worldwide.
"It is a huge opportunity for the Adam Currys, Chomps and others to disrupt the search-engine model," Keighran says.
"Applications are the websites of the future," says Vladimir Edelman, head of marketing and business development at Envio Networks, creator of Chorus, an iPhone app guide downloaded more than 200,000 times since October.
Revision3's AppJudgment, another video entry in the app guide derby, attracts 500,000 views each month and also covers apps for Google Android phones and other devices. The daily show, available on the Internet, iTunes, YouTube and elsewhere, launched a year ago.
Heady competition, but could Curry's name recognition and loyal podcast followers give him an advantage?
The twice-weekly No Agenda podcast Curry co-hosts with renowned tech journalist John C. Dvorak, has gained a rabid following. A typical show averages more than 400,000 listeners.
"It's too difficult to navigate the App Store without help of some sort," says Roger Kay, an Apple analyst who is president of Endpoint Technologies Associates. "It's sort of like, with Web proliferation comes Google. And with app proliferation comes Curry."
Can the third time be the charm for Curry - after MTV and podcasts?
"(Curry) has the benefit of being enough of a geek that he can actually do all the developer work without hiring anyone," says Dvorak, who might contribute to The Big App Show.

Aeros Would Like To Start Making Plans, But The AHL Doesn't Have A Schedule Yet
LeBron, causing trouble again
The Houston Aeros know who they'll be playing this season. They know the date of their home opener, and they know the dates of five other home games. What they don't actually have yet, as the start of the AHL regular season draws close, is an actual schedule, and without an actual schedule, it's kind of hard for the Aeros to get the basics planned out.
For instance, the Aeros home opener is on October 16, but they don't know who they'll playing in that game. They're going to open the season on the road, but they don't know where. And as a season nears, it's kind of important for a team to know those kind of things so that the people behind the scenes can get travel arrangements, arena arrangements, ticket basics, and promotional items squared away and set for the season.
It's not the fault of the Aeros that this is taking so long. It's not really the fault of the AHL, either. The primary fault lies with one of the largest sporting entities in North America, the NBA.
The Aeros, along with the San Antonio Rampage, the Oklahoma City Barons, the Charlotte Checkers, and the Milwaukee Admirals, all share arenas with an NBA team. And since the AHL is a minor league, and since all of these teams are mere tenants in buildings controlled by the NBA team, their wants and desires are secondary to the NBA. So until the NBA gets its act together and releases a schedule, there's nothing that the AHL can do about scheduling. And as hard as it is to believe, the NBA sat on its ass and didn't release its schedule until just this Tuesday.
So now the AHL has to scramble to make the dates fit for all of its teams. And while scheduling sounds easy, the schedule makers have to set up so that a team's not playing in Houston one night and in Abbotsford,
Canada British Columbia on the next night. They're trying to set it up so that teams can make one swing through the Southwest and play Houston, Texas, San Antonio, and Oklahoma City on one road trip so as to cut down on travel costs.

For the Aeros, this means they're waiting to distribute their schedule to their season ticket holders so that they can plan their games accordingly. The Aeros don't yet know what day their midweek matinee school kid game yet is, so that they can't coordinate things with schools. It makes it hard for the Aeros to set up shop with a radio station since their games may be played on the same dates and times as the Texans, Astros, Rockets, and all of the college teams that have radio deals in Houston.
The biggest difficulty for the Aeros lies with traveling. Not knowing where they're going, when they're going, makes it difficult for the team to book flights. Once again, since the Aeros are a minor league team, they're not chartering flights like the big league teams do. They're flying on the same Continental and Southwest Airlines flight that the regular folks do, so it becomes hard to book flights that can fit all of the players, coaches, support staff, and equipment, not to mention the problems with hotel rooms.
Luckily, 16 of the Aeros 40 road games are within busing distance of Houston, with six games scheduled, at some point, to be played in Austin, and five in San Antonio. The Aeros also know that they will be playing five games in Oklahoma City, which is welcoming a brand new AHL team this season.
With any luck, the Aeros should have their 2010-11 schedule by next week. Then the people behind the scenes can start readying the promotions schedule, and the giveaways, and booking radio time and trying to land a radio station to air the games. They can start booking flights and hotels.
Such is life in the minor leagues when you're waiting on the NBA to get its act together. Then again, the NBA kind of had to wait for LeBron James to make his decision on his employer for this season -- because that was going to be the team that all of the networks wanted every night.
So maybe it's not all the NBA's fault. Maybe, instead, we've got another very good reason to hate LeBron James.

Micachu & The Shapes
"Bjork is said to be a fan of Micachu and can probably indentify with another artist brave enough to take pop music into entirely uncharted territory. Micachu is largely inspired by Harry Partch who famously used an array of customised and home made instruments. These included a xylophone made of light bulbs, a 'Cloud Chamber' made out of pyrex dishes that could not only be played musically but detect particles of ionizing radiation and a series of highly complicated 44 stringed instruments. Similarly Micachu uses a modified guitar played with a hammer action called a 'chu' and a bowed instrument fashioned from a CD rack. She also uses improvised instruments, such as glass bottles or a vacuum cleaner." - Rough Trade

• Tuberous sclerosis (TS) is a dominantly inherited disorder characterized by seizures, developmental delay, and specific skin lesions. Hypopigmented maculae that occur in 80% of patients with TS have become important for the clinical diagnosis of TS in young children. These lesions are claimed to be present from birth, in contrast with other dermatologic manifestations of TS that usually appear much later. We studied seven children in whom hypopigmented maculae appeared months to years after repeated negative skin examinations. Our findings emphasized that the absence of hypopigmented maculae in young children does not preclude their later appearance nor rule out the diagnosis of TS. The need for repeated skin examinations in infants and children with suspected TS or with seizures and/or mental retardation of unknown cause is apparent.

Those of you who are excited about the smartwatch market and iWatch's eventual release might be aware that, a couple of days ago or so, a new report from analyst Ming-Chi Kuo suggested that Apple's iWatch might not see the light of day earlier than 2015. Supposedly, some of the reasons for the alleged delay lie in the difficulty to integrate the hardware and software, and in the manufacturing process itself.
Sadly, the aforementioned report was given more weight yesterday, when a new supply chain report emerged suggesting that the iWatch might indeed fail to hit the shelves in 2014. You'll find the rest of the story right after the break.
iWatch: Release Date Might be Delayed Until 2015
According to sources of China's Economic Daily News, Apple's suppliers which are designated to manufacture the iWatch's components have been notified that they should be ready to start delivering the hardware, to the assembly locations, as early as next month. Apparently, the assembly process will commence in September, and according to this new data, the yield will be of only 1 million iWatches per month, not nearly enough to reach the previously rumored 10 million units (per 2014).
In addition, once the components will hit the conveyor belts, it's estimated that it will take between 1 and 2 months before the final product will be ready. That being said, Apple's supply chain sources add that the iWatch might arrive a bit too late for a 2014 release date. Either that, or we might see a limited launch that could take place in December.
In the opposite camp, Android Wear should soon get more time under the spotlight, as Motorola's Moto 360 is expected to make an appearance during IFA. In addition, ASUS's first Android Wear smartwatch might also be preset at IFA, and according to previous reports, the gadget in question should strike a great balance between quality and affordability.

Source code
Supported platforms
Useful tricks
- To vizualize a trajectory, do:
- vmd structure.pdb
- In the "VMD main" window, select your molecule.
- In the File menue, select "Load data into Molecule"
- Browse and select your trajectory file
- If it is not recognized automatically, you may have to specify the correct file format
- To animate your structure, click on the arrow at the bottom-right of the "VMD main" window
- Enjoy
- To generate a Charmm trajectory (.DCD) from a series of PDB files, you may use Catdcd as follows:
- cat *.pdb > file_all.pdb
- catdcd -o file_all.dcd -pdb file_all.pdb

Treaty of Lieben

The Treaty of Lieben was signed on June 25, 1608 between Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II and his brother, Matthias. Based on the terms of the treaty, Rudolf surrendered Hungary, Austrian territories near the Danube River, and Moravia to Matthias. In return, Matthias gave to the emperor the territories of Tyrol and Vorlande.[1]

Magadha formed one of the sixteen Mahajanapadas (Sanskrit: "Great Countries") of ancient India. The core of the kingdom was the area of Bihar south of the Ganges; its first capital was Rajagriha (modern Rajgir), then Pataliputra (modern Patna). Rajagriha was initially known as 'Girivrijja' and later came to be known as so during the reign of Ajatashatru. Magadha expanded to include most of Bihar and Bengal with the conquest of Licchavi and Anga, respectively,[1] followed by much of eastern Uttar Pradesh and Odisha. The ancient kingdom of Magadha is heavily mentioned in Jain and Buddhist texts. It is also mentioned in the Ramayana, the Mahabharata and the Puranas. A state of Magadha, possibly a tribal kingdom, is recorded in Vedic texts much earlier in time than 600 BCE.
The earliest reference to the Magadha people occurs in the Atharvaveda, where they are found listed along with the Angas, Gandharis and Mujavats. Magadha played an important role in the development of Jainism and Buddhism, and two of India's greatest empires, the Mauryan Empire and Gupta Empire, originated in Magadha. These empires saw advancements in ancient India's science, mathematics, astronomy, religion, and philosophy and were considered the Golden Age of India. The Magadha kingdom included republican communities such as the community of Rajakumara. Villages had their own assemblies under their local chiefs called Gramakas. Their administrations were divided into executive, judicial, and military functions.
The kingdom of the Magadha roughly corresponds to the modern districts of Patna, Jehanabad, Nalanda, Aurangabad, Nawadah and Gaya in southern Bihar, and parts of Bengal in the east. It was bounded on the north by the river Ganges, on the east by the river Champa, on the south by the Vindhya Range, and on the west by the Son River. This region of Greater Magadha had a culture and religious beliefs of its own that predates Hinduism. Much of the second urbanisation took place here from c. 500 BCE onwards and it was here that Jainism became strong and Buddhism arose. The importance of Magadha's culture can be seen in that Buddhism, Jainism and Hinduism adopted some of its features, most significantly a belief in rebirth and karmic retribution.[2]
There is little certain information available on the early rulers of Magadha. The most important sources are the Buddhist Pāli Canon, the Jain Agamas and the Hindu Puranas. Based on these sources, it appears that Magadha was ruled by the Haryanka dynasty for some 200 years, c. 600 BCE – 413 BCE.
Gautama Buddha, the founder of Buddhism, lived much of his life in Magadha kingdom. He attained enlightenment in Bodh Gaya, gave his first sermon in Sarnath and the first Buddhist council was held in Rajgriha.[3]
The Hindu Mahabharata calls Brihadratha the first ruler of Magadha. King Bimbisara of the Haryanka dynasty led an active and expansive policy, conquering Anga in what is now West Bengal.
The death of King Bimbisara was at the hands of his son, Prince Ajatashatru. King Pasenadi, king of neighbouring Kosala and brother-in-law of King Bimbisara, promptly retook the gift of the Kashi province.
Accounts differ slightly as to the cause of King Ajatashatru's war with the Licchavi, an area north of the river Ganges. It appears that Ajatashatru sent a minister to the area who for three years worked to undermine the unity of the Licchavis. To launch his attack across the Ganges River, Ajatashatru built a fort at the town of Pataliputra. Torn by disagreements the Licchavis fought with Ajatashatru. It took fifteen years for Ajatashatru to defeat them. Jain texts tell how Ajatashatru used two new weapons: a catapult, and a covered chariot with swinging mace that has been compared to a modern tank. Pataliputra began to grow as a center of commerce and became the capital of Magadha after Ajatashatru's death.
The Haryanka dynasty was overthrown by the Shishunaga dynasty. The last Shishunaga ruler, Kalasoka, was assassinated by Mahapadma Nanda in 345 BCE, the first of the so-called Nine Nandas, Mahapadma and his eight sons.
In 326 BCE, the army of Alexander approached the western boundaries of Magadha. The army, exhausted and frightened at the prospect of facing another giant Indian army at the Ganges, mutinied at the Hyphasis (the modern Beas River) and refused to march further East. Alexander, after the meeting with his officer, Coenus, was persuaded that it was better to return and turned south, conquering his way down the Indus to the Ocean.
Around 321 BCE, the Nanda Dynasty ended and Chandragupta Maurya became the first king of the great Mauryan dynasty and Mauryan Empire with the help of Chanakya. The Empire later extended over most of South Asia under King Ashoka, who was at first known as 'Ashoka the Cruel' but later became a disciple of Buddhism and became known as 'Dharma Ashoka'. Later, the Mauryan Empire ended, as did the Shunga and Khārabēḷa empires, to be replaced by the Gupta Empire. The capital of the Gupta Empire remained Pataliputra in Magadha.

Michael Vick and the Eagles got stunned last night as the Vikings defense showed why their team could've been a contender this year. That loss definitely affects the NFL Playoff Picture because now the Eagles have lost their chance to get a first week bye.
Joe Webb made a serious case to be a quarterback in the NFL with his performance last night, and we'll most likely get to see how that plays out during the offseason and into training camp.
There are no more midweek games, so it's now just a countdown to Sunday and the final week of the regular season. We'll be here all day with commentary and analysis on the day's big stories.

This was pretty good but a bit plain or bland for us. I used 1.5 lbs. ground beef and the rest of the ingredients as listed plus 1/4 tsp. garlic powder. I used the optional Worcestershire and for the crumbs I crushed saltines in the mini chopper. I molded it into a long loaf shape and placed it on top of a broiler pan so that the fat drips down. I glazed with the 2 parts ketchup/1 part mustard blend. Thanks for posting.

DEFINITION: "A rigorous and disciplined methodology that utilizes data and statistical analysis to measure and improve a company's operational performance, practices and systems. Six Sigma identifies and prevents defects in manufacturing and service-related processes. In many organizations, it simply means a measure of quality that strives for near perfection." What is Six Sigma Quality? • • • • • Originated at Motorola in the early 80's Helped Motorola win the 1988 MBNQA Is a methodology for disciplined quality improvement Juran principles apply Doesn't use "Quality" in the name With the inclusion of Six Sigma into a sound business system, the major ingredients of a Total Quality Management System are usually in place • • • Uses a modified Deming Wheel (PDCA). Six Sigma's goal is the near elimination of defects from any process, product, or service. The numerical goal is 3.467 defects per million opportunities.
Statistical Six Sigma Definition What does it mean to be "Six Sigma"? Six Sigma at many organizations simply means a measure of quality that strives for near perfection. But the statistical implications of a Six Sigma program go well beyond the qualitative eradication of customer-perceptible defects. It's a methodology that is well rooted in mathematics and statistics. The objective of Six Sigma Quality is to reduce process output variation so that on a long term basis, which is the customer's aggregate experience
with our process over time, this will result in no more than 3.4 defect Parts Per Million (PPM) opportunities (or 3.4 Defects Per Million Opportunities – DPMO). For a process with only one specification limit (Upper or Lower), this results in six process standard deviations between the mean of the process and the customer's specification limit (hence, 6 Sigma). For a process with two specification limits (Upper and Lower), this translates to slightly more than six process standard deviations between the mean and each specification limit such that the total defect rate corresponds to equivalent of six process standard deviations.
Many processes are prone to being influenced by special and/or assignable causes that impact the overall performance of the process relative to the customer's specification. That is, the overall performance of our process as the customer views it might be 3.4 DPMO (corresponding to Long Term performance of 4.5 Sigma). However, our process could indeed be capable of producing a near perfect output (Short Term capability – also known as process entitlement – of 6 Sigma). The difference between the "best" a process can be, measured by Short Term process capability, and the customer's aggregate experience (Long Term capability) is known as Shift depicted as Zshift or ? . For a "typical" process, the value of shift is 1.5; shift therefore, when one hears about "6 Sigma," inherent in that statement is that the short term capability of the process is 6, the long term capability is
4.5 (3.4 DPMO – what the customer sees) with an assumed shift of 1.5. Typically, when reference is given using DPMO, it denotes the Long Term capability of the process, which is the customer's experience. The role of the Six Sigma professional is to quantify the process performance (Short Term and Long Term capability) and based on the true process entitlement and process shift, establish the right strategy to reach the established performance objective As the process sigma value increases from zero to six, the variation of the process around the mean value decreases. With a high enough value of process sigma, the process approaches zero variation and is known as 'zero defects.' Six Sigma at many organizations simply means a measure of quality that strives for near perfection. Six Sigma is a disciplined, data-driven approach and methodology for eliminating defects (driving towards six standard deviations between the mean and the nearest specification limit) in any process -- from manufacturing to transactional and from product to service. The statistical representation of Six Sigma describes quantitatively how a process is performing. To achieve Six Sigma, a process must not produce more than 3.4 defects per million opportunities. A Six Sigma defect is defined as anything outside of customer specifications. A Six Sigma opportunity is then the total quantity of chances for a defect. Process sigma can easily be calculated using a Six Sigma calculator. The fundamental objective of the Six Sigma methodology is the
implementation of a measurement-based strategy that focuses on process improvement and variation reduction through the application of Six Sigma improvement projects. This is accomplished through the use of two Six Sigma sub-methodologies: DMAIC and DMADV. The Six Sigma DMAIC process (define, measure, analyze, improve, control) is an improvement
system for existing processes falling below specification and looking for incremental improvement. The Six Sigma DMADV process (define, measure, analyze, design, verify) is an improvement system used to develop new processes or products at Six Sigma quality levels. It can also be employed if a current process requires more than just incremental improvement. Both Six Sigma processes are executed by Six Sigma Green Belts and Six Sigma Black Belts, and are overseen by Six Sigma Master Black Belts. TOOLS OF SIX SIGMA The tools are applied within a simple performance improvement model known as DMAIC, or Define-Measure-Analyze-Improve-Control. DMAIC can be described as follows: Define, identify, prioritize, and select the right projects. Measure the characteristics parameters. key and product process
Analyze and identify process determinants. Improve performance. and
Control to hold the gains. D Define the goals of the improvement activity. At the top level the goals will be the strategic objectives of the organization, such as a higher ROI or market share. At the operations level, a goal might be to increase the throughput of a production department. At the project level goals might be to reduce the defect level and increase
throughput. Apply data mining methods to identify potential improvement opportunities. M Measure the existing system. Establish valid and reliable metrics to help monitor progress towards the goal(s) defined at the previous step. Begin by determining the current baseline. Use exploratory A and descriptive data analysis to help you understand the data. Analyze the system to identify ways to eliminate the gap between the current performance of the system or process and the desired I goal. Apply statistical tools to guide the analysis. Improve the system. Be creative in finding new ways to do things better, cheaper, or faster. Use project management and other planning and management tools to implement the new approach. C Use statistical methods to validate the improvement. Control the new system. Institutionalize the improved system by modifying procedures, compensation MRP, budgets, and incentive systems, policies, other operating instructions and
management systems. You may wish to utilize systems such as ISO 9000 to assure that documentation is correct. Implementation of Six Sigma After over two decades of experience with quality improvement, there is now a solid body of scientific research regarding the experience of thousands of companies implementing major programs such as Six Sigma. Researchers have found that successful deployment of Six Sigma involves focusing on a small number of high-leverage items. The steps required to successfully implement Six Sigma are well-documented. 1. Successful performance improvement must begin with senior leadership. Start by providing senior leadership with training in the principles and tools they need to prepare their organization for success. Using their newly acquired knowledge, senior leaders direct the development of a management infrastructure to support Six Sigma. Simultaneously, steps
are taken to "soft-wire" the organization and to cultivate an environment for innovation and creativity. This involves reducing levels of organizational hierarchy, removing procedural barriers to experimentation and change, and a variety of other changes designed to make it easier to try new things without fear of reprisal. 2. Systems are developed for establishing close communication with customers, employees, and suppliers. This includes developing rigorous methods of obtaining and evaluating customer, employee and supplier input. Base line studies are conducted to determine the starting point and to identify cultural, policy, and procedural obstacles to success. 3. Training needs are rigorously assessed. Remedial skills education is provided to assure that adequate levels of literacy and numeracy are possessed by all employees. Top-to-bottom training is conducted in systems improvement tools, techniques, and philosophies. 4. A framework for continuous process improvement is developed, along with a system of indicators for monitoring progress and success. Six Sigma metrics focus on the organization's strategic goals, drivers, and key business processes. 5. Business processes to be improved are chosen by management, and by people with intimate process knowledge at all levels of the organization. Six Sigma projects are conducted to improve business performance linked to measurable financial results. This requires knowledge of the organization's constraints. Although the approach is simple, it is by no means easy. But the results justify the effort expended. Research has shown that firms that successfully implement Six Sigma perform better in virtually every
business category, including return on sales, return on investment, employment growth, and share price increase. MUMBAI'S AMAZING DABBAWALLAS A Six Sigma means the accuracy rate is 99.999 per cent, which otherwise means that for an office-goers engaging a dabbawala for a monthly fee of something between Rs 150 to Rs 300, the chances of missing a day's home-made lunch is just one in six thousand. More than 175,000 or 200,000 lunches get moved every day by an estimated 4,500 to 5,000 dabbawalas, all with an extremely small nominal fee and with utmost punctuality. According to a recent survey, there is only one mistake in every 6,000,000 deliveries. The American business magazine Forbes gave a Six Sigma performance rating for the precision of dabbawalas. The BBC has produced a documentary on dabbawalas, and Prince Charles, during his visit to India, visited them (he had to fit in with their schedule, since their timing was too precise to permit any flexibility). Owing to the tremendous publicity, some of the dabbawalas were invited to give guest lectures in top business schools of India, which is very unusual. Most remarkably, the success of the dabbawala trade has involved no modern high technology. The main reason for their popularity could be the Indian people's aversion to fast food outlets and their love of home-made food.
Low-tech and lean (Dabbawala in action) Although the service remains essentially low-tech, with the barefoot delivery boys as the prime movers, the dabbawalas have started to embrace technology, and now allow booking for delivery through SMS. A web site, mydabbawala.com, has also been added to allow for on-line booking, in order to keep up with the times. An on-line poll on the web site ensures that customer feedback is given pride of place. The success of the system depends on teamwork and time management that would be the envy of a modern manager. Such is the dedication and commitment of the barely literate and barefoot delivery boys (there are only a few delivery women) who form links in the extensive delivery chain, that there is no system of documentation at all. A simple colour coding system doubles as an ID system for the destination and recipient. layers is There of are no elaborate dabbawala management required to
either — just three layers. Each also contribute a minimum capital in kind, in the shape of two bicycles, a wooden crate for the tiffins, white cotton kurta-pyjamas, and the white trademark Gandhi topi (cap). The return on capital is ensured by monthly division of the earnings of each unit.
Six Sigma rating A few years ago, US business magazine Forbes gave Mumbai's dabbawallas a Six Sigma performance rating, or a 99.999999 percentage of correctness which means one error in six million transactions. Six sigma can provide cost savings and increased customer satisfaction to a wide variety of financial institutions.
Pitfalls of Six Sigma
Like any tool, six sigma can be used inappropriately. To the man with a hammer, everything appears to be a nail. ? Defining metrics from producer's perspective ? Concentrating on the product, not the process ? Unreliable testing process ? Insufficient volumes for meaningful statistics 10
? Measuring unimportant things

"And can't spell"
So how does one spell 'occur'? Don't think "occure" is correct, do you Gilly?
BTW, how can Swerve be 'ahead of the game' yet '4 years behind'? Your medication seems to be confusing you somewhat.

Didn't it ever occurrree(oopps! sorry) occurr to you swervy that who ever you are you dont seem to have much of a life. In fact Sweet F all, as most 34 year old Londoners I know are out there in the world putting in a shift and enjoying themselves. Mostly with the girls. You seem to prefer the opposite. Now dont take that wrong. If your a bit light on your feet and talk kind of funny, I've nothing against that. But please do try to keep it to yourself. You wouldnt want your 'close' t friends reading your stuff on here would you? Dont forget now. Always try to dodge a banana, you could end up on your arse. I think little jack horner has you in a corner....too
hahhahaha you're a joke but then again i dont know much about "football occure"

I am working on a application where many employees may login to the system to solve customer complaints. If one employee clicks "Start" button for the complain, the record should be freezed. By freezed I mean it should not appear on other employees screen (when the screen updates on their machine using Ajax). Further it shouldn't appear only for a certain amount of time duration. If the employee doesn't response to the complain within few minutes it should again appear in the queue of complaints.
How do I manage this time duration? I have one approach where one the user clicks on "Start", I could store that item in Cache object and it's only valid until it's expiry comes. Then when other employee's screen refreshes I only show those items that are not attended and not present in Cache. If it is present in Cache it means it is being attended by someone. Am I going on the right track? Or is there any better way of doing it?

AmerAsia & Sumo SushiDim sum and sushi under the same roof? It's like a dream come true. The beautiful interior of the antique filling station just east of the federal courthouse is a marked change from the cozy home interior of where AmerAsia used to reside near the University. Hyangami Yi's food is just as good as ever. Expect her familiar dim sum plates and buns, and feel free to order sushi like you've never had in this town from her brother Woo Youn. He's got all the usual sashimi and nigiri in his adjoining restaurant, but it's the original, creative rolls that really set Sumo apart—that, and the adorable little train that ferries your pickled ginger around the sushi bar.

There's the molcajete Sinaloense, in which a basalt mortar is filled with mariscos and a pureed green chile sauce, then baked; the cocomarisco, a young coconut emptied of its water and packed with a mix of marinated seafood and young coconut flesh; and above all, el zarandeado itself, a grey snapper "cult object" that needs to be ordered an hour ahead of time.

Full review: Tempting tempura (11/30/2006)
Mr. Tokyo Japanese RestaurantSince we're long past the point when sushi was considered too exotic for New Mexico, it's time to start paying attention to other fine Japanese favorites like tempura, hibachi-grilled meats and seafood, teriyaki without the La Choy, and the beauty of udon noodles. Mr. Tokyo is modestly sized, moderately priced and an excellent place for a quick, relaxing lunch or a quiet dinner with friends and family. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010)

Full review: N'awlins Mardi Gras Café brings authentic Cajun to Albuquerque (6/18/2015)
N'awlins Mardi Gras CafeDig a little into the history of the owner, Chef Eddie Adams, and it doesn't take long to see why the quality is so high. The man owned a Cajun restaurant in New Orleans. If you've ever had more than a passing interest in Creole cuisine, you owe it to yourself to try N'awlins. This hidden gem offers every Nola staple from gumbo to jambalaya to the classic po'boy.

Vernon's SpeakeasyVernon's is a swanky underground spot for good eats and high times, delivered speakeasy-style. The dining room is walled with lustrous, ebony adobe, and the tables are clothed in crisp, black and white linens. By the glass or bottle, there's plenty of quality hooch. The menu is classic steakhouse stuff, with beef tournedos in a silky demi-glace, fresh fish and a damn fine veal Oscar. Check out the Black Diamond Lounge to take in the fancy cocktails and live music. (Alibi Staff, August 11, 2010)

Evotec and Apeiron Biologics entered into a research collaboration to develop immunomodulatory lead compounds for the treatment of cancer. Apeiron Biologics will contribute in vitro and in vivo pharmacology expertise to this collaboration while Evotec will be responsible for medicinal chemistry as well as chemical proteomics. The collaboration is based on the successful outcome of a phenotypic high throughput screen previously commissioned by Apeiron Biologics to Evotec.
Last year, Evotec entered several collaborations. Most recently, the company signed a license agreement with Janssen regarding Evotec's NR2B subtype-selective NMDA-antagonist portfolio for development against diseases in the field of depression. Evotec also teamed up with Probiodrug on the development of drugs for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.
In 2010, Apeiron Biologics worked with Evotec to identify small molecule modulators of DREAM (downstream regulatory element antagonistic modulator), a target involved in perception of pain.

In the process of testing of concurrent timed systems, input generation identifies values of temporal parameters that let the Implementation Under Test (IUT) execute selected cases. However, when some parameters are not under control of the driver, test execution may diverge from the selected input and produce an inconclusive behavior. We formulate the problem on the basis of an abstraction of the IUT which we call partially stochastic Time Petri Net (psTPN), where controllable parameters are modeled as nondeterministic values and noncontrollable parameters as random variables with general (GEN) distribution. With reference to this abstraction, we derive the analytical form of the probability that the IUT runs along a selected behavior as a function of choices taken on controllable parameters. In the applicative perspective of real-time testing, this identifies a theoretical upper limit on the probability of a conclusive result, thus providing a means to plan the number of test repetitions that are necessary to guarantee a given probability of test-case coverage. It also provides a constructive technique for an optimal or suboptimal approach to input generation and a way to characterize the probability of conclusive testing under other suboptimal strategies.

Company: Joy Ride Entertainment
Cast: Elizabeth Rollings, Lee Bang, Brian Pumper, Thunder Kat, Crystal Clear (I), Shadow Cat, Mo Azz, Wesley Pipes, Tyler Knight
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
Genre: Specialty
Oh, she fat all right! Wave after wave of undulating mocha flesh. It's the visual equivalent of trying to sleep on a waterbed while your pet Great Dane is there, jumping around. The .big bone. reference can also be applied to the guys, who are (collectively) slinging a few yards of massive manhood. Fans of this genre will certainly have little reason to complain.
Since pressing the flesh is of primary interest, production values are minimal. The action is straightforward stuff. After all, the law of gravity dictates that this isn't the place to be looking for sexual gymnastics.
Ass-slapping is entirely another matter. Just about all of the ass in this disc gets cracked, notably Shadow Cat's extra-wide booty (under Pumper's open hand). Each sequence gives the audience the explicit goods, but Pipes vocalizes his needs more often - like coming on Mo Azz's big phat clit.
Retailing: BBW, natch.

PORTLAND, Ore. -- After dispatching Portland in three easy games, Shaquille O'Neal says the selfish, bickering Los Angeles Lakers of a month ago are long gone.
And the happy bunch that replaced them is primed to continue its march toward a second straight NBA title.
''Everyone is on the same page now. We have a mission,'' O'Neal said after the Lakers beat the Trail Blazers 99-86 Sunday to sweep their first-round series.
''If we keep playing like this, it's going to be very hard to beat us,'' said O'Neal, who led the Lakers with 25 points and 15 rebounds. ''We know what it takes to win a championship, because of the phenomenal season we had last year.''
Los Angeles will play the Sacramento-Phoenix winner in the second round.
Kobe Bryant had 22 points and a playoff career-high nine assists, and Derek Fisher added 17 points and eight rebounds for the Lakers, who began their surge by winning the last eight games of the regular season.
Portland, meanwhile, lost for the sixth straight time and 17th time in 25 games. The team with the highest payroll in NBA history -- $89.7 million -- faces an offseason of uncertainty. Coach Mike Dunleavy could be fired, some players could be traded, and even general manager Bob Whitsitt's job isn't safe.
''I felt like we had too many challenges, too many obstacles to overcome,'' said Scottie Pippen, whose goal of a seventh title was thwarted by jealousies, the departure of Shawn Kemp for drug rehabilitation and a season-ending injury to Bonzi Wells.
''This is the worst -- the worst thing I have ever had to deal with throughout my career,'' Pippen added. ''It just wasn't a fun season for us. The outcome of it was just a testament to what we had been dealing with all season.''
Damon Stoudamire and Steve Smith each scored 25 points to lead the Blazers, and Rasheed Wallace had 13 rebounds but was a major disappointment on offense, missing 15 of 19 shots and scoring nine points.

Is it correct to use the verb pickpocket before the item being taken from someone's pocket?
Pickpocket a pouch of gold
Or can you only use pickpocket before the person whose item is being taken?
Pickpocket a tourist
Is it correct to use the verb pickpocket before the item being taken from someone's pocket?
Or can you only use pickpocket before the person whose item is being taken?
closed as general reference by Jasper Loy, Alenanno, Kit Z. Fox♦, simchona♦, aedia λ Sep 4 '11 at 3:56
This question is too basic; it can be definitively and permanently answered by a single link to a standard internet reference source designed specifically to find that type of information.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Typically, "pickpocket" isn't used in this way, although it can be, and is listed in dictionaries as a verb. Usually, someone might say "I was pickpocketed" (i.e. -- an intransitive usage), but it's rather rare to hear someone say "S/He pickpocketed his/her money."
Most times that I have come across this idea, the verb used is "lift", as in:
"You lift a pouch of gold from your victim."
Other common verbs are to "steal", "pilfer", "swipe", and -- in Britain (but not in the US), to "pinch".
Pickpocket is primarily used as a noun, but it can be used as a verb. But if you are a pickpocket, you probably shouldn't go around telling anyone that you are going to pickpocket a pouch of gold from someone!
While it's true that "pickpocket" is primarily a noun, it's also a verb. The verb means steal from the pockets of (someone).
The only occurrences I found are with a noun that refers to people, e.g. tourists, or without any argument, so a intransitive verb. The examples are these ones:
I couldn't find anything where you use the "object" where you take the money from. The only one I found was "to pick sb's pocket".
I would say the "pickpocket" is a compound word, in which "pick" is a verb, and "pocket" is a noun (except when it is a reference to the PERSON who does the same).
In American English at least, you don't "pickpocket" a tourist. Instead, you pick a tourist's POCKET. (Split up the verb and noun around tourist.)
You don't "pickpocket" a pouch of gold. You pick a pocket (or pouch) of gold. (Pocket and pouch are synonyms in this context.)
