This week's Bread Baker's Apprentice Challenge has us making what is perhaps Peter Reinhart's most innovative and unique bread recipe, Pain a l'Ancienne. What makes this recipe different from any other recipe we've tackled to date? We used ice water in this recipe. Ice water! I would have thought that the yeast would have been too busy looking for sweaters to do their job! And in a roundabout and very Mag-way of thinking, that is what happens. Mr. Reinhart, who coincidentally has a professional background in the science of bread baking instead of one in amateur blogging like myself, explains this in a much more technical manner in his book. By using ice cold water, we substantially delay the fermentation, enabling the sugar to break out of the starch before the yeast have their chance to feast. The resulting bread has a much more developed flavor than when standard fermentation practices are used.
This recipe started out easily enough. There are only four ingredients: bread flour, yeast, salt and ice water. All are mixed and kneaded, then placed in the refrigerator overnight. (That's when the yeast are too concerned about finding a sweater to bother with feeding themselves.) I removed my dough from the fridge at 8:00 this morning, thinking that with the two-three hour fermentation predicted, I'd have bread by lunch. Evidently my yeast were teenagers, and there must have been a lot of partying and sweater tossing going on in my fridge last night, because I could not get them to wake up this morning. Here's my dough at 11:00, three hours into fermentation.
WAKE UP!!! Time to rise and ... well.. RISE!
This story actually does have a happy ending folks. The pizza crust was some of the best I've ever tasted. Crispy where it needed to be crispy, and chewy where it needed to be chewy. And oh so full of flavor! A total unexpected success after what I thought was going to be such a complete disappointment.
This recipe is definitely on my list to try again, now that I know what to expect and how to remedy it. I can see this becoming a new pizza crust family favorite!
To Nicole at Pinch My Salt: Thank you again for including us all in your challenge. I'm still having a blast!

There's more to cooking than good recipes and terrific ingredients, chef Joanne Weir says. It's a matter of confidence, too.
It's a quality the James Beard-award winner, author and new restaurateur has in spades. It's also the topic of Weir's newest cookbook, "Cooking Confidence: Dinner Made Simple" (Taunton Press, $24.95, 218 pages). But the new book -- her 18th -- and her PBS cooking show aren't the only reason her name is ringing bells.
Weir launched Copita, a breezy, casual cantina that marries seasonal California ingredients with regional Mexican cooking, with longtime friend and restaurateur Larry Mindel in Sausalito this past spring. (If Mindel's name rings bells, too, it's no wonder: He's the man who turned a San Francisco bakery into the Il Fornaio restaurant empire.)
These days, Weir divides her time among her San Francisco home and Tuscany, Italy, where she leads culinary tours and cooking classes; and Sausalito, where she oversees Copita's kitchen and organic garden. On this particular, balmy Indian summer afternoon, Weir's to-do list was topped with nothing but delicious tasks. A new tortilla maker was auditioning, so to speak, and there was sampling to be done -- violet hibiscus refrescos, carnitas street tacos with tomatillo crudo and a cactus and crema-topped dish that showcased masa skills.
But there was time among all that noshing to chat about the restaurant, the new book and the question of culinary confidence.
Q Opening a restaurant is a huge undertaking. How is the reality matching up to the dream?
A It was three weeks before I realized I could see the water from the restaurant. I thought I'd be walking around in my cute clothes, saying, "Oh, this is my restaurant!" The chef left the week before we opened, so the first weeks I was on the (cooking) line. I was so naive. But I had one of the top mentors in the business, Larry Mindel. I learned a lot about the restaurant business -- and about me. At this point in life, you don't get a lot of second chances to change gears.
Q What did you learn about yourself?
A I'm a perfectionist. Before, I was a teacher or a guest chef all over the world, and I could control everything. Here, there are so many variables. It's a hard lesson. I've learned a lot about human relations and the culture and the Mexican people. This is a gift for me.
Q You come from a long line of cooks. What's your earliest food memory?
A I'm a fourth-generation chef -- my mother, my grandfather, my great-grandmother were all professional cooks. My mother grew up in a 28-room Victorian on 350 acres in the Berkshires. Everything came from the farm. We'd have chicken salad sandwiches -- the chicken my grandfather had raised and killed, homemade mayonnaise, homemade bread, heirloom tomatoes -- with hot potato chips. Then eat maple-walnut ice cream -- he'd churned the ice cream -- under the maple tree. I was an incredibly lucky girl.
Q What marked the start of your culinary education?
A When I was 6 years old, my mother made me a tomato sandwich with homemade bread -- tomatoes from the garden, homemade mayonnaise and salt. That's it. She said, "Remember, whenever you use tomatoes, you need salt to bring out the sweetness." I was 6! I thought, "What am I going to do with that?" (Laughs)
Q Salt, sweetness, seasonal cooking -- and "cooking confidence." Let's talk about the new book. It's based on your TV series, but you're concentrating on dinner here. Why?
A Alice Waters was always saying, someone needs to write a book about affordable food. This is doable dinner. It's about taking time with the food, but not spending as much. Tuesday it's for the family, Saturday you doctor it up for company.
Q The book is an eclectic mix of flavors and inspirations. What are some of your favorites?
A The Merguez Moroccan lamb burgers, pita with crispy, crunchy chickpeas and tzatziki, the chicken tortilla soup with meatballs. I'm so interested in how things have gotten there. When you're a chef, you're a chef in any cuisine. Food crosses borders.

Not that I want to compare, but I never had any trouble fast-forwarding or rewinding streamed content (SD or 720p HD) in Tversity. More specifically, I could seek at 1.5x and 10x no problem, and then I'd hit problems if I tried to go faster.
With PMS 1.3, I can only fast-forward at 1.5x and I can't really rewind at all. If I try to fast-forward at 10x, the entire stream freezes up and I am forced to press play and wait for 60 seconds, or just exit the video and start over again (faster). It's a minor annoyance, but I watch a lot of streamed TV content and I like to skip the credits/theme song at the beginning.
Off the top of my head, I can say that I've limited my bandwidth to 15Mbps and I've tried this on all the default transcoder types. I'm running on a P4 dual core 2.6Ghz with 2GB RAM.
Does anybody else experience this?

We got there about two and a half hours before the start of the show and endured a cold, rainy hour before we made it inside the doors. God bless Emily, who ran in ahead of us and secured an incredibly good spot in the second row, in the dead center of the stage. By far the closest I have ever been to any concert in my life. The wait was almost unbearable, but luckily we met this guy who had some great stories to tell. He had followed Phish from '94-'97, had met Trey, and was even good friends with the Dude of Life.
When Trey finally came out, we were crazy excited. It just felt sort of surreal to be so close to him. His first set was almost entirely acoustic. Highlights for me were Backwards Down the Number Line, Theme from the Bottom, Halley's Comet, and Dirt. He got the crowd singing along the different parts and, as usual, seemed to be having a grand time up on stage.
Then he invited the backup singers on stage for Let Me Lie, for sure one of my favorite TAB songs. Trey had his eyes closed and was really sincere, which seemed sort of funny given the kind of goofy lyrics the song had. We also got a really sincere Wading in the Velvet Sea, another beautiful number which seemed to give our last "soft satisfaction." For Heavy Things, the whole band came out, and I was jumping up and down like a mad man with my friend Tim.
Trey covered Hey Ya!, which I had heard about earlier on the tour, but it was absolutely hilarious and awesome and energy building to experience it from about 7 feet away. Push On 'Til the Day, though, was unreal. Trey did such a great job of building crowd energy up throughout that first set, and went absolutely nuts with that final song of the set. I lost my mind jumping around, and Trey just seemed to be having the time of his life up there, too. It was an incredible end to a really solid set.
Gotta Jibboo opened the second set, and the light show really exploded. Ocelot was kick-ass, with a nice touch of horns in the background. He continued with several TAB originals, all of which were great fun for us. And then, what? The girls who were in the front row decide to go to the bathroom, and the three of us get to move up to the front! And then, what? Trey whips out THE DEVIL WENT DOWN TO GEORGIA! We were thrashing our heads, Trey absolutely nailed it, and was watching us dance for almost the entire song. He had that silly grin, with his top teeth sticking out, just jamming out of his mind. So that? That was insanely cool.
He then did Night Speaks to a Woman, per request of "the guy in the front," who was right behind me. That song just kicked some butt. His eyes, once again, were on us for quite a bit of that tune, which was just the coolest feeling. And then, Ether Sunday, a slow-down jazzy tune that may have been my favorite of the second set. It was unbelievable, Trey would walk over and smile at the girl doing these slow trumpet solos, and then would creep back over toward the front row and would look to ME for approval. Here was one of my musical heroes, just playing a stellar show, and going back and forth between this nasty soloist and me, smiling at the beauty of the moment. I just nodded, gave him some thumbs up, smiled, and soaked it in.
He followed with First Tube to close the set. He gave us a really nice jam with that one, and tore down the house. It was just crazy, I was actually front-center to see one of my favorite musicians of all time, and he was tearing down the house. The encore kicked some more ass, and left us all really satisfied. Having such a great time and watching Trey have so much fun on stage made this concert just an incredible experience. I had a big smile on my face as I cleared out of the auditorium on a cold February evening.

Boost Your Global Career
To better understand how today's economy is shaping international hiring trends, we connected with four experts who spoke at Columbia Business School's recent Pan-Euro reunion in London. The panel, assembled by the school's Career Management Center, included Helen Bostock, director of Global Head Graduate and Embark Resourcing and Development, Barclays Wealth; Diane Morgan, associate dean, degree programs and career services, London Business School; Lena Triantogiannis, partner, Egon Zehnder International; and Anthony Vardy, managing director, United Kingdom, Korn/Ferry Whitehead Mann.
From an economic perspective, most of the recent news has been pretty bad. How should recent and future MBAs be reading the current hiring environment?
Helen Bostock: There is still a healthy pipeline in some industries — financial services, for example — but the job market is much more challenging now. With fewer positions open, employers are being much more focused. They are looking for specific skill sets based on immediate needs. That increases the competition among the top tier of candidates.
Lena Triantogiannis: Another way to look at this is that there is a shortage of leadership. This will become even more critical in coming years. The aging of the baby boomer will create a huge vacuum in the leadership bracket, and if you overlay that fact with even modest growth assumptions, five years from now companies will have only half of the leaders needed in that age bracket.
What are the major trends shaping the middle- and upper-management job market?
LT: The new leadership movement is from west to east. From 1992 to 2001 educated talent from Asia flooded westward, while western capital was going east. In 2001 those flows reversed. Talent is moving east, and cash is flowing to the West. This flow of leadership talent will fundamentally define the next chapter of globalization over the next 20 years.
Anthony Vardy: In Europe, adding women is the largest single focus, but companies are being extremely inclusive in the candidates they are recruiting, regardless of color of skin, nationality, disability, or sexual orientation.
HB: We should note, though, that the reality of the global marketplace is much more complex and layered. India, China, and Taiwan are the growth economies, and many Western companies are either launching or building out their Asia operations to take advantage of rising consumer demand. Still, many of these firms are entering into partnership or joint venture operations, which means they are looking to source local talent.
Where are the key growth areas among industry sectors and geographic locations?
DM: We're seeing a lot of hiring in Latin America for people who have knowledge in that area. There is a huge surge of start-up businesses in Brazil as that country shifts from state-owned enterprise to private ownership. Companies are looking for people who can help execute their strategies at every level, from management to production to marketing.
LT: Definitely the health, energy, mining, and utilities sectors must be included in the growth areas. Some economies and some sectors have followed the logic of specialization, which has served them well. For example, Germany has specialized in manufacturing, the UK in financial services, etc. But we are all now realizing that the implication of this is volatility to the employment market in the short term. So there is a question of whether they will start rebalancing their economies by expanding other sectors.
HB: There are clearly some global growth sectors: science, technology, and healthcare. We also know that, as developed countries move toward being knowledge-based economies, growth areas will include professional and business services as well as management, scientific, and technical consulting services.
What kind of packages, perks, incentives are they offering top candidates?
HB:Large firms are still offering sign-on bonuses, but they aren't as big as they used to be. Some of the big investment banks are offering total packages in the $100,000 range.
DT: Compensation has always been a main area of attracting people, but there is a growing importance in attracting people not just with money but also with career advancement and development. When you think about your career choice you need to think about more than compensation. Does the job offer meaning and purpose, and a life in balance? The generation coming up will put more importance on that.
Does age matter?
HB: Experience matters. For example, we are recruiting people into our Embark program, which is for individuals who have a proven track record of success in another industry and are looking to transfer their skills and become private bankers. If you have an MBA you may get a small premium, but mostly we are looking for maturity.
AV: There was a trend toward youth culture a few years ago, but I think there is a much more open-minded approach now. We are seeing more demand for people with significant experience of difficult economic times. People under the age of, say, 45 will not previously have worked in a seriously challenged global economic environment.

Five of the top seven and six of the top twenty biological products in 2010 (in terms of revenue) were monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) (1). Several new mAb products and mAb biosimilars are in development, and all require extensive characterization to obtain the necessary approvals for clinical trials and to eventually be released onto the market.
The most recent regulatory document covering characterization of mAbs was published by the European Medicines Agency (EMA) in July 2009 (2). This EMA guideline entitled Development, Production, Characterization and Specifications for Monoclonal Antibodies and Related Products states that the mA should be characterized thoroughly (2). This characterization should include the determination of physicochemical and structural properties, purity, impurities and quantity of the mAb, in line with International Conference on Harmoniaation (ICH) guideline Q6B (3).
ICH Q6B provides a uniform set of internationally accepted principles for characterization of biotechnological products to support new marketing applications. The document suggests that analyses be performed to provide the following information for biological or biopharmaceutical products:Structural characterization
Physicochemical analysis
The techniques used to provide the analytical data required by these guidelines are discussed below.
ICH Q6B states that "The overall amino acid composition is determined using various hydrolytic and analytical procedures, and compared with the amino acid composition deduced from the gene sequence for the desired product, or the natural counterpart, if considered necessary. In many cases amino acid composition analysis provides some structural information for peptides and small proteins, but such data are generally less definitive for large proteins. Quantitative amino acid analysis data can also be used to determine protein content in many cases."
Amino acid composition analysis using reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP–HPLC) with pre-column derivatization or ion exchange chromatography with post-column derivatization are now routinely used to determine the amino acid composition of biopharmaceutical products. Provided that the molar ratios of amino acids per mole of protein and the overall molecular weight of the protein are known, the protein content can be calculated from the amount of each robust amino acid detected in a hydrolysate of the product. Also, if the optical density (at 280 nm) for the solution from which the aliquot(s) for amino acid analysis were taken is known, the Beer–Lambert law (absorbance [OD] = ε.c.l; where ε is the extinction coefficient, c is the concentration in M/L, and l is the path length in cm) allows calculation of the extinction coefficient for the product, meaning that spectrophotometry at 280 nm can be used to quantify the product in solution.

On June 1 three long wooden kayaks sliced their way along the Monongahela River from McKeesport toward Pittsburgh, Pa., and the Ohio River confluence. The weary trio manning those vessels-Dan Jones and Gary Murphy of Marietta, and Roger Murphy of Duncan Falls-were entering the second week of a historic 22-day bicycle-and-kayak journey from Ipswich, Mass. to Marietta.
"There's no place at all to get out of your boat on the Monongahela near Pittsburgh. There are just a lot of concrete walls along many industrial sites," Jones told members of the Marietta Noon Rotary Club Thursday
during a presentation on the trio's 'Westward Home' expedition.

The 2013 Westward Home expedition team gathers around the oxen yoke that was used during the 1937-38 commemorative journey that traced the route Gen. Rufus Putnam and the Ohio Company of Associates traveled to found Marietta 225 years ago.

The Marietta Times
Their 926-mile journey traced the route Gen. Rufus Putnam and the Ohio Company of Associates traveled in 1787 and 1788 on their way to founding the settlement of Marietta.
"I had called ahead to be sure we could lock through the Braddock Locks and Dam on the Monongahela that day, and was told there would be no problem-just call the lockmaster when we arrived," Jones said. "But when we reached the dam and I called the lockmaster he asked if we had a 56-foot line."
He explained that small craft like kayaks and canoes are apparently required to toss a line over the edge of the lock wall that they can hold onto while passing through the locks.
"We didn't have a 56-foot line, and he wouldn't let us lock through," Jones said. "So we had to paddle all the way back upriver to McKeesport where we had put in that day. That was the longest day of our entire trip on the rivers."
The trek started May 18 in front of the First Congregational Church in Ipswich, Mass., where Putnam's original journey began. Jones and Roger Murphy mounted their bikes there and Gary Murphy, no relation, joined them on the route a few days later. He stayed behind to help care for his wife who had just undergone hip surgery.
"That was probably the most emotional part of the trip," Jones said of that first day. "We were having our photo taken by a sign in front of the church. Bill Wesel had tears in his eyes."
Wesel and his wife, Sally, of Marietta, followed the three adventurers in their recreational vehicle, while another member of the expedition, Pete Prigge, also from Marietta, drove the forward "scout" vehicle, towing the kayaks and other equipment and keeping the trekkers on course.
Also staying behind in Marietta to maintain a daily web log site chronicling the journey were team members Mike Pyles and Tom Perry.
The travelers were met with kindness from many people along the way, Jones said, noting folks like Gordon and Deb Harris of Ipswich in whose home the travelers stayed the day before they began the journey. Gordon Harris, an avid biker, also rode along with the expedition for the first 60 miles.
Later, after Gary Murphy had joined the group, the bikers were about halfway up a steep hill just outside Poughkeepsie, N.Y., when a woman came out of her home and offered each a couple of cookies.
"Those cookies gave us the energy to make it to the top of that hill," Jones said.
In the small town of West Newton, Pa., where the Putnam expedition stopped for two months to cut trees and build canoes and boats for the rivers portion of their trip, the 2013 expedition members were treated to hot showers at a bed and breakfast, dinner from a local pizza parlor and lunch courtesy of the West Newton mayor.
All along the route the travelers shared about the historic significance of the journey that coincides with the 225th anniversary of the founding of Marietta and the gateway to the Northwest Territory.
The trek ended as the three kayakers arrived in Marietta June 7, welcomed by a flotilla of other boaters and the Marietta Fire Boat with water cannons spraying fountains of water out over the Ohio River.
Gary Murphy expressed great respect for the skills and endurance of his co-trekkers, Jones and Roger Murphy, noting both are five years his senior and are seasoned kayakers and bikers.
"I did this, too, but it was a once in a lifetime experience. I won't be doing it again," he joked.
In addition to commemorating the original Putnam expedition, Gary Murphy explained that the trip was a fundraiser for the Washington County Boys and Girls Club and Harmar Community Center.
"We raised just short of $40,000 from this trip," he said. "We were shooting for $50,000, but we're very happy with the amount we've received. And I want to thank the entire Westward Home team as well as everyone who supported us."
Bill Wesel thanked Jones for coordinating the trip for the expedition and for the benefit of the local community.
"We didn't know each other very well when this expedition began, but we sure do know each other now," he said. "This really was the experience of a lifetime that gave me a new outlook on life. I was in 'retirement mode,' doing less and less every day. But this trip has turned me around."
Sally agreed.
"I think we've all adopted Roger Murphy's motto-bolder, not older," she said.

AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Can you afford $6 a month? That is the stormwater fee Augusta commissioners will consider at Tuesday night's meeting.
Flooding is becoming a real problem around town. Some say a new fee is the last thing we need. Others say it is long overdue.
Rudolph Brown has proof the city has problems with flooding. He caught home video of downtown Augusta streets covered in deep waves of flood water.
That was back in August, but the family's home still sports signs of flooding.
"It's awful because we have to back and redo the house and remodel and mop up all that water," he said.
Anytime the forecast calls for rain, Brown calls on a higher being.
"Oh God, don't wish it on me. Don't wish it on me," he said.
Commissioner Alvin Mason is pushing for a stormwater fee of at least $6 a month to tackle a problem years in the making.
"And in 2012 there are folk who can't even flush their toilet for fear that it will come back up through the water," Mason said.
Even still, not everyone's on board, including Mayor Pro Tem Joe Bowles.
"It's just tax, tax, tax, and we are going to run people out of the city," he said.
Mason notes surrounding counties already have a stormwater fee.
"They're doing it in North Augusta, and everybody is clapping about how well North Augusta is doing. They are doing it in Columbia County, and people are flocking out to Columbia County trying to live," he said.
Brown can't help feeling it's the time the city wades into the stormwater fee as well.
"And I'm not just saying that because I was a victim. I'm saying that because the next time it could be you," Brown said. "They need to do something."

AIKEN, S.C. (WRDW) -- What do the movies "Life Of Pi," "The Avengers" and "Prometheus" have in common besides making millions in the box office and being nominated for the Academy Awards? The answer is North Augusta native 21-year-old Steven Benjamin. His dreams of working in film has become true.
"Computers and that was his niche," said Benjamin's former teacher, Galan Potter.
Potter met Benjamin when she taught at North Augusta and says he's a hard student to forget.
"He was just a unique kid. I mean a lot of personality. Very friendly, very out going. Very funny and entertaining," Potter said.
Benjamin's career in Hollywood only started a year ago. He's already worked on three movies as a visual effects artists and all three are up for Oscars. But before he worked on films for the big screen, he worked for his teacher, Mrs. Potter.
"He built a website for me and we still have it. It's hooked to my Facebook page," Potter said.
Steven's younger brother, Colton Benjamin, says he remembers his brother always liking computers, but says he also liked ...
"Playing games 24/7. Can I play? No! Want to come down and eat? No!" said Colton of conversations with his older brother.
Benjamin was able to call in for a phone interview from California and says he remembers those days, but adds he was doing more than just playing video games.
"I was actually studying it. It's kind of like he was bothering my study time, but you know probably 30 minutes after that I'd actually go play with him," he said.
While Benjamin has a lot of fans in the neighborhood he grew up in, his biggest fan is his mother, Monica Benjamin.
"To see this unfold has just been amazing," she said.

The non-profit group habitat for humanity is making big things happen in Aiken County. More than three hundred women have signed up to help build homes for those in need. News 12 is on your side with what single-parent families stand to gain.
For Kip Boyd and his two young sons, it was too sweet a deal to pass up.
"It's a dream, you know what I mean? It's a dream come true," said Kip Boyd, Habitat homeowner.
A dream built by Habitat for Humanity, the same group that placed other families like the Boyds in this Warrenridge neighborhood.
"It's just such a sense of pride for the homeowner as well as the volunteers who helped to build it," said Lisa Carlton, administrative volunteer.
According to Volunteer Administrator Lisa Carlton, the boards and bricks are quick to leave the ground these days thanks to hundreds of women making three bedroom homes far more available than in the past. They started this home for example, just two months ago.
"I felt like if we invited 'em they would come and come they did. Over three hundred women," Carlton said.
"I would really love to see it. I really would. I really would," said Debbie Martin.
Debbie Martin is a potential candidate for a Habitat home. She's disabled on a fixed income and could use a break on her monthly bills.
"I've applied but they haven't approved me yet," Martin said.
"Having cheaper payments lets you afford more things, you know what i mean? A better car, a better life," Boyd said.
And for Kip's boys, their own bedroom, for their dog, a big yard, luxuries dealt strictly through a labor of love.
"You're just talking about it gives me chill bumps," Carlton said.
The breakdown of these homes is this: They're three bedrooms with one and a half bathrooms. Typically, owners pay $320 dollars a month and a 20-to-25 year mortgage. Even better, sponsors pay for the materials to build your home and you, yourself are encouraged to help out with that. For more information, you can call (803)642-9295.

SAN MATEO -- Cory Cravalho's two free throws with 10.9 seconds left Friday sent the game with Sacred Heart Cathedral to overtime. And once that happened the Serra basketball team was full of confidence.
"OT stands for Our Time,'' Serra coach Chuck Rapp said.
The Padres are now 3-0 in overtime games this season after beating Sacred Heart Cathedral 73-66 in front of a packed house at the Serra gym. With the win Serra (13-4, 6-1) finished the first half of West Catholic Athletic League play tied for first place with Archbishop Mitty -- not bad for a team that was supposed to be in a rebuilding year.
"Now we've got to keep it rolling,'' Rapp said.
The Padres looked to be in control throughout Friday's game with the visiting Irish. They led 35-27 at halftime as Danny Mahoney pumped in 15 first-half points. They were up 49-39 early in the fourth quarter when Sacred Heart Cathedral, using its fullcourt press to force turnovers, went on a 17-4 run to take a 56-53 lead with 1:44 left. It was 57-55 when Cravalho was fouled on a drive to the basket. That was the seventh team foul for the Irish, so Cravalho went to the line in a pressure-packed situation, shooting one and one. He made the first shot and SHC coach Darrell Barbour called time out, to go over strategy with his team and to ice Cravalho. The Serra senior stepped back to the line after the time out and made the second shot to tie the score and send the game to overtime.
"Most guys would have passed in that situation but he saw the gap and went for it,'' Rapp said. "That was a big-time clutch play for an unsung player.''
Mahoney, who had cooled off after his hot first half, made a 3-pointer to begin overtime on a shot from several feet behind the 3-point line. That ignited an 11-1 run as Serra opened a 68-58 lead and held on for the win.
"Once they started making a run we kind of panicked and let them get back in the game,'' Sean Watkins said. "But we didn't get frustrated. Once we got in overtime we said there's no way we're losing. I'm proud of my teammates.''
Mahoney led the Padres with 23 points. Watkins had 12 and backup post player Seth Bartlett scored 10.
Alfred Hollins scored 16, Evan Davison 14, Liam O'Reilly 13 and Deondre Otis 10 for Sacred Heart Cathedral (12-5, 4-3).

When I select a function in the "list symbols" dialog (ctrl+R) sublime puts my cursor to the start of the function and scrolls to the function.
This works great if the function you are jumping to is above your current position. But if the function is bellow your current position sublime will scroll the view port only so much that a few lines of the function are shown.
Is there any way to configure sublime to scroll the view port (after the jump) so that the target function is at the very top (first visible line)?

Tarrant County grand jury's decision closes case in beating death of popular Forest Hill pastor
FORT WORTH — The decision by a Tarrant County grand jury Tuesday not to issue an indictment in the death of Derrick Birdow, who died in police custody after the beating death of a well-known Forest Hill pastor, brings to a close a tumultuous case filled with rumor and innuendo.
Authorities say Birdow crashed his car into Greater Sweethome Baptist Church last October and then assaulted pastor Danny Kirk, Sr. with a guitar. A janitor was also attacked but survived. When Birdow ignored police demands to stop beating Kirk, officers tasered him. They handcuffed Birdow and placed him in a police car. Moments later officers discovered that he was no longer breathing.
The Tarrant County Medical Examiner's officer determined that Birdow, 33, (right) died from ingesting PCP and that the Taser played no role in his death. The actions by the Forest Hill police department were previously cleared by the Tarrant County Sheriff's department and the case is now considered closed.
But reaching that conclusion was not nearly so cut-and-dried. Kirk, 53, was known as a dedicated and faithful pastor, husband and father who worked tirelessly in the Forest Hill community. Thousands turned out for his funeral and there were few, if any, negative comments about his life.
So, when Forest Hill police started hearing reports that Birdow attacked Kirk because he believed Kirk was having an affair with his wife, they were forced to investigate. And people had all sorts of accounts of how the attack went down, including reports that Kirk and Birdow were talking in a car before the attack occurred, and that Birdow's wife showed up at the church after the assault pretending not to know what was going on or why.
Police Chief Dan Dennis acknowledged during a recent interview that "we heard all of the rumors you heard and probably a few more." And Dennis added, "we checked them all out and found out there was no truth to any of them."
Dennis could not explain the reasons for the scandalous rumors or what anyone might gain by spreading them. He said police never did find a legitimate reason for Birdow's attack on the church and pastor. It also is not known whether the police department's findings were a part of the evidence presented to the grand jury on Tuesday.

OAKLAND -- The Oakland A's stadium saga took a bizarre turn Wednesday when team President Mike Crowley aborted talks aimed at keeping the team at O.co Coliseum through 2024 just one hour after an Alameda County leader declared that the A's were in discussions to build a new ballpark in Oakland.
Alameda County Supervisor Nate Miley, who heads the board that oversees the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum complex, said the board was awaiting a proposal from the A's to acquire land rights for a new baseball stadium adjacent to their current home.
"The A's are reviewing financials and are determining whether they can put together a deal on the land," Miley said.
Miley's statement, repeated during an afternoon news conference, was the first pronouncement that the A's are seriously exploring building a stadium in Oakland after being rebuffed in their drive to move to San Jose.
Miley also became the first East Bay political leader to open the door for some public money for stadium construction.
A's co-owner Lew Wolff declined Wednesday to discuss Miley's comments regarding a new ballpark in Oakland.
Instead, the team focused on the supervisor's claim that the A's initial offer for a 10-year lease extension would have amounted to a $3.5 million annual public subsidy.
Crowley replied in an email that the team had proposed paying higher rent and pumping at least $10 million into the stadium. "We have nothing additional to offer, and as a result, there will be no further negotiations," he wrote.
Miley said the Coliseum board might accept less advantageous lease terms if the A's made a land proposal. But Wolff responded in an interview that the team was "not willing to make the lease extension contingent on buying the land or guaranteeing the building of a stadium."
The spat comes as both sides seek leverage as they negotiate the lease extension. The Coliseum board, aware that the A's options are limited, appears to be pushing the team for movement toward construction of a new stadium, while the A's want to first finalize a the lease deal.
Tensions rose late Tuesday when the board released a statement announcing it had made a counter-offer to the A's proposal for a 10-year lease extension.
The A's quickly rejected the deal and sent out a second email directing reporters to a blog post that was highly critical of Mayor Jean Quan's position that the Coliseum board shouldn't approve a lease extension unless the A's agree to build a ballpark in Oakland.
"It's been a really crazy morning and crazy night," said Jorge Leon, an A's fan and member of the group Baseball Oakland. "It's really frustrating from a fan's point of view to hear these things when the A's are doing so well. Both sides should handle this behind closed doors."
This has been a tough week for Oakland sports fans. On Monday, the Golden State Warriors announced that they had purchased land for a new arena in San Francisco. Hours later, the Oakland Raiders failed to submit a letter of interest to participate in a city-led bid to redevelop the 132-acre Coliseum complex into a sports and entertainment center.
While the Raiders' interest in the Coliseum City development is now in doubt, it appeared the A's might be reconsidering a separate stadium deal at the Coliseum site after two failed attempts to leave.
After signing a short-term lease extension last year that runs through the 2015 season, Wolff raised the possibility for the first time in nearly a decade that a privately financed ballpark might be feasible on the Coliseum site.
The most recent lease deal also committed the team and the Coliseum board to go to arbitration over the team's contention that it didn't have to hand over about $5 million in parking tax proceeds.
Miley on Wednesday said the A's wanted to keep those proceeds under the lease extension.
The $5 million could be used for public safety or affordable housing, Miley said. "We just can't walk away from that."
Miley said that Alameda County might consider selling its portion of the Coliseum site if it would help secure a stadium deal. He also said the Coliseum board would consider tearing down Oracle Arena after the Warriors leave if it could help keep the A's and Raiders at the site.
Miley also broached the potential of using public funds to help build new stadiums for the A's and Raiders at the Coliseum site. That could be a tough sell given that Oakland and Alameda taxpayers are still on the hook for nearly $200 million in bonds used to renovate the facilities in the mid-1990s.
"It could involve some public money," Miley said. "We're waiting for the A's to give us a proposal. If they give us a proposal, we'll be able to maybe at some point give you some more details on that, but right now we're waiting for a proposal."

If you're a frequent traveler, treat yourself to the Elemis The Art of Travelling - For Ladies. The kit contains all the Elemis essentials to keep skin radiant and your nails conditioned no matter what time zone you're in.
Elemis Pro-Collagen Marine Cream - I discovered this cream when it was used during a facial on a recent vacation. I resisted the urge to buy it at the spa because I knew I would save 20% here! This cream is expensive but you need very little. Love this cream and the Elemis line. Really balances my skin.
Elemis Pro-Collagen Quartz Lift Serum - I just tried this Lift Serum for several days and I can see a difference already. I can feel that my face is getting firmer and smother. The lines on my face are not that visible now. I love the way this product works, fast and reliable. Lift Serum is a life saver and I can't get enough on using it.
Elemis Pro-Collagen Oxygenating Night Cream - I was introduced to Elemis products just over a year ago. I am totally addicted now. This night cream is light, and I have continued to get comments on how great my skin looks. I never used products regularly, but now I do. I would highly recommend trying it if you want to feel good and have better looking skin.
Elemis Pro-Collagen Quartz Lift Serum - It is like defying gravity!! I love Lift Serum because in just few uses and the results are already tremendous. I just can't believe it myself. Lift Serum provides me the confidence that I lost back then. I just love the way my face glows today.
Elemis Japanese Camellia Oil Blend - I love this oil. It tones and smoothes my skin beautifully.
Elemis Cellular Recovery Skin Bliss Capsules - I have seen improvements in very a week or so. So far I'm having a blast with Elemis, and trust me I've tried many other brands here (Perricone, Skinceuticals, MD Forte, etc). A little expensive though especially with the way the economy is doing. This is when you gotta take advantage of SkinStore Storewide discounts. :0)

the Computer Model for Feasibility Analysis and Reporting
Three products to serve different needs
COMFAR III Expert: is a computer software that permits the user to simulate the short- and long-term financial and economic situation of investment projects. The software facilitates the analysis of industrial as well as non-industrial projects, whether new investments, rehabilitations, expansions, joint venture or privatization projects.
COMFAR III Business Planner: enables the user to carry out financial analysis of investment projects. The economic appraisal module is not included in this product.
COMFAR III Mini Expert: is a software package designed for the preliminary assessments of investment opportunities from the purely financial point of view. Unlike COMFAR III Expert and COMFAR III Business Planner, it does not support full fledged user-defined flexibility. The economic appraisal module is not included in this product.
COMFAR III Mini Expert is fully upwards-compatible to COMFAR III Expert and COMFAR III Business Planner. That means, the data files generated by COMFAR III Mini Expert can be directly loaded into COMFAR III Expert or Business Planner, which is important, when investment opportunities develop into bankable projects.
Multilingual software
All COMFAR III programs are delivered in the language selected by the user. It is possibile to acquire and install, at any time, one or more additional language sets. This will permit the analyst to operate COMFAR III in one language (e.g. English) and print all tables and charts in a different language (e.g. French).
COMFAR III is currently available in the following languages:
- Arabic, Chinese, Croatian, Czech, English, Farsi, French, German, Indonesian Bahasa, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Mongolian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Serbian, Slovak and Spanish. Other language versions will follow, subject of demand.

When considering moving a Small to Mid-size Business (SMB) client over to GNU/Linux or talking to someone who is considering the same, there frequently is a "but" somewhere during the process. The hesitation is one that is rarely talked about, or one that I have rarely heard; the lack of specialized applications from Independent Software Vendors (ISVs).
According to the Small Business Administration, small firms in the U.S., those with fewer than 500 employees, represent 99.7 percent of all employer firms. There is a lot of business diversity, each with its own IT needs. Part of those needs are industry specific software, which is predominately Windows based.
Nearly every industry has software unique to itself, along with cross industry applications. A brief list of industries with industry specific software include:
- Education
- Banking
- Accounting
- Real Estate
- Property Management
- Construction
- Medical
- Civil Engineering
- Auto Body Repair
Pair industry specific software to cross industry software and there is more Windows based tie in. Examples of cross industry software include:
- Fleet Maintenance
- Accounting
- Inventory
- Business Plans
- Sales and Marketing
- Employee Scheduling
- Facility Scheduling
- Customer Relationship Management
These examples don't even begin to touch the tip of the software iceberg. The intention here is to consider the software that companies use every day, software that is normally not thought of. Cross industry software can also become specific. Accounting software, though similar between companies, can target certain markets. For example accounting and inventory software for jewelry retailers, art galleries and janitorial enterprises. Some ISV's have separate versions of the same accounting application, each targeted at a different segment.
With the advent of the internet and web based applications, businesses are transitioning from platform specific applications to platform neutral applications. That would be the ideal, but it is sometimes not easily attained. Many service providers write their web applications for non-standards based browsers, as you are likely guessing, Internet Explorer, preventing platform agnostic nirvana. While many applications are becoming web based, with SMB's, the death of client-server computing has been greatly exaggerated.
Mobile computing has small business benefits, which also includes industry unique software. Mobile devices have installable applications, however, there is often a Windows based component that synchronizes with the mobile version. Whether the mobile device collects data and uploads to a database, or an application like a mind mapper that synchronizes with a client application, often it is a Windows based application.
Windows has an ecosystem built up over several years of SMB use. Windows based PC's are a standard tool for nearly all SMB's, or the suppliers and services that support SMB's. What GNU/Linux in the SMB market is lacking is a significant ecosystem of applications. There are tools to provide a method of running Windows based applications, but it is doubtful that ISV's will support their applications in this manner. An ecosystem needs to be nourished on its own and not fed off of another. As more and more business are able to transition to GNU/Linux based networks, this ecosystem will have the means of becoming self sufficient. Each birth of a new GNU/Linux based, industry specific, application will enable build up of the GNU/Linux SMB ecosystem.
Accounting is one area in which there is a large GNU/Linux presence. With accounting as an entry, as well as standard office applications like OpenOffice.org and Firefox the GNU/Linux application ecosystem is on firm ground. What's left is to encourage this ecosystem to flourish and to educate SMB's and ISV's on the benefits of GNU/Linux based networks for their business. Surely, both will be hesitant to change applications and development platforms, so there is no easy road ahead. Platform transition is not a trivial pursuit, but as more applications are available on GNU/Linux, it is visible on the horizon.
virtualization as just another abstraction layer
this is not authoritative, as i haven't yet quit my day job and become an SMB consultant, but just an idea (as i think through future business strategies). but this is also personal as we have a windows-only financial application in a household that only has one windows hardware-install (2 linux servers & 1 linux desktop vs 1 windows 8-year-old ailing laptop).
use windows and a virtualization technology as an abstraction layer for running those windows-only, industry-specific applications on linux. once linux gains enough installations, the software market will accomodate it; if not, virtualization should continue to work. (my aforementioned 10-year-old financial application has finally been ported to java, presumably to accomodate the mac os 10 market, and though not supported, it runs on linux. i just don't want to purchase the newer version when the old version works and i have a windows license.)
if you buy a photo printer, expect to use glossy paper and expensive ink. if you buy a sports car, expect to use high-octance gasoline. if you need a niche application, expect to cater to its quirks, including requiring windows. but just as you don't have to change homes to park your sports car, or add on a new room to your house for your photo printer, now thanks to virtualization a single application shouldn't dictate your OS.
why linux on the desktop for everyday use? it provides all the basic productivity apps and can be managed on an SMB's shoe-string budget by a part-time admin or consultant.
what's wrong with windows on the desktop? unless continuously cared for by enterprise software (antivirus, antiadware, software updates, firewall, etc) and enterprise IT staff, all at enterprise prices, your SMB office ends up looking like the average home computer multiplied by ten, twenty, or 100. but if a mandatory business application requires it, then run windows in a VM.
i recently experienced administrating windows when creating and maintaining windows 2000 and windows xp VM images (for experimenting with open-source cross-platform technologies, development environments, & applications on windows). it was painful. there are tools available (SMS, WSUS, etc), but IMHO out of the reach of the SMB market (technically or financially).
but who cares about administrating/maintaining a windows installation when it resides within a VM and is only ever used in conjuction with that particular application. niche financial applications aren't usually a vector for viruses. CRMs aren't usually a vector for adware. some of these applications don't even require a network connection, allowing the windows VM image to run quite contained/isolated.
FOSS is making software a commodity, so unless there is a specific need (windows-only industry-specific software, laptop hardware, etc), it works well enough. most people don't get religious about office supplies (paper, pencils, pens, paper clips), unless they have a specific need, and software should be the same.
is virtualization the windows-only application cure-all? no. there are the applications that require unique hardware that the VM can't emulate/interface. there's the older hardware that ran the application acceptably, but not the application and VM. there are the offices where everybody has a laptop, and linux doesn't reliably suspend or hibernate any of them. but worse yet are the users that will resist change (darn humans! ;-). maybe the compromise is the other way around: run windows and the one application on the hardware and everything else in a linux VM.
considered carefully for each circumstance, i think virtualization and interoperability will allow linux (and FOSS in general) to become a reality for SMBs, bringing with it a lower TCO.
Here's a Shocker
A lot of ISVs actually have cross platform capable software and just don't know it. Example of this is an education accounting system a local ISV maintains and support. They swear that system only works on SCO Unix, and only works with a Windows client. After researching how they develop this software, the IDE actually supports not just SCO Unix, but just about every *nix available plus Windows Servers, and the Client is actually written in a C IDE that supports the ISO C standard. Which means with little or no changes would support other *nix environments. The point is a lot of ISVs that are in fact themselves SMBs, actually customize applications from larger ISVs. In my home state (the second poorest in the US) we have some very large developers, but far more ISVs that are SMBs. These people will chase every penny made available to them. These smaller developers will change quicker than any body else.
Also a lack of qualified consultants
By "Qualified", I mean a) Willing to accept Open Source solutions, and b) able to support said solutions, and c) Willing to consider the tactical implications of such a move.
I spoke with a small business consultant a while back about this issue. He said that he'd love to support more pervasive use of Open Source (he already prescribes OpenOffice), but there are a few problems:
a) Similar to what the article mentions above, there are lots of applications based on Microsoft Office that can't run on Linux;
b) What the article mentions;
c) He doesn't have enough Linux expertise to feel comfortable recommending these solutions, and doesn't have enough time to learn;
d) If he was comfortable, there's the "hit by a bus" syndrome - if he installs Linux and gets hit by a bus, there's nobody else in his geographical location that knows Linux and can take over. Currently, he can take a week off for vacation and subcontract his tasks (there's an informal network of consultants in his area so they all do this)...

I am trying to play some .mkv's from my MacBook Pro to the PS3. My network is all gigabit. I can pretty much play any 720P that I've tried. It seems 1080p will play for a few seconds, then stutter, then stop.
I have buffer set to 600, 5.1 Audio, 640 bitrate, & "Lossless quality/crazy bitrate". WIth these settings, am I losing any quality? Or does it transcode without any quality loss. How would the quality differ if I were to compare the actual file to the transcode?
I have a Popcorn hour that is awesome, but I've always wanted to utilize the PS3 to play mkv files.
I am also looking at the Activity Monitor program, and it seems there is still some CPU room, so I'm not sure why the 1080p files will not play.
Thanks for the software, I am loving it so far, and have shown it to several people. I hope to eventually get 1080p files to work so I can ditch the Popcorn hour.
Late 2008 Macbook Pro 2.4, 4GB RAM.

Intaglio is traditional Mac drawing with the power of Mac OS X.
Since the early days of MacDraw, Macintosh has always had powerful and easy to use drawing software. With the introduction of Mac OS X, the graphics capabilities of the Mac expanded considerably. Intaglio carries the legacy of MacDraw into the modern Macintosh world by combining ease of use with the power of Mac OS X graphics. Intaglio retains the feel of MacDraw while harnessing the full capabilities of Quartz and CoreImage. Old timers soon feel right at home and those new to Mac drawing pick it up quickly.
Required OS: not specified

Nice and easy app. The icons in the tool bar are horrible though. Not very Mac-like.
But other than that, does the job and does it good.
I got that app from a Macupdate promo and I'm very happy with it (except for the appearance)
I seldom use vector graphics, but when I do I used Inkscape (free, requires X11). But since I got Intaglio with the macupdate-promo, I must say this feels really much more Mac-like. I like it!
It seems that the Mac has a number of nice graphic programs and I had a hard time settling on Intaglio. However I've been really pleased with this very clear, intuitive and capable program. I'm not an experienced Illustrator user but when I needed to go into it recently to do something in particular, I found I'd really been spoiled by Intaglio and found Illustrator nothing but an overcomplicated mess where I couldn't find how to do the simpliest things.
Thank goodness for Intalgio. It really lives up to how a Macintosh program should be.
Very capable vector editor at first glance. Could it really be so that I could ditch Illustrator soon...?
