10. Planner tasks from notes
Let us look at case 1: Link to plan page note
The plan page has a date link, no anchor. The date page has a plan link with an anchor. Example:
#A1 _ Foo (2004.03.11)
#A1 _ Foo ([[SomePage#1][SomePage]])
Problem! The plan page does not contain enough information to reconstruct the link if necessary. I can't think of a neat way to fix this yet. Can anyone?
9. Ah, I have an old version of httpd.el
8. Got httpd.el working. Now to figure out how to get it to work with emacs-wiki...
7. ASTI Embedded Systems Group looking for interns
The Embedded Systems Group of the Advanced Science and Technology Institute (ASTI-DOST) is looking for highly motivated techie undergrads for it's summer internship program. Qualified applicants should be undergraduates in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, ECE, and related fields. Knowledge in either C/C++, the Linux kernel and OS, or device drivers, etc. is a plus, but all other applicants are welcome to apply anyway. Send in your updated resume to [email protected] and we would contact you asap. Flyers would hopefully be distributed to the individual departments within the week.
I highly recommend this. =) I was part of the embedded systems group during my summer practicum. Those guys are cool. (And I got to hack on the Linux iPAQ a bit more...)
E-Mail from Paolo Lim
6. Game defense
You can select a level. Recursion. Mouse listener. New. Moves left.
Next graphics.
Cool: pictures. Basic game, from no experience. Score. AI. Next step: animation? two-player? correctly facing images.
Cool: error-checking
How to fix the X thing? Ah, okay, he knows how. In terms of skill, shows promise. Game needs a bit of work, but that's about it. =) Also, code could probably use methods.
Next: graphics, improve the code
- <nop>NumberFormat, but they know that already =) - random events - interest - changing prices - range - new thing: no layout
Cool - arrays, interface, classic gameplay
5. Template for CS21A project defense
4. Planner now supports ERC
To create a task based on ERC chat, position the point on a line in an ERC chat window. It will pick up the current nick, channel, and server. See documentation inside planner-erc.el for more details.
(defvaralias 'remember-annotation-functions 'planner-annotation-functions)
3. On the usefulness of planner
<dto> this really is perfect. I had different projects at work, so I would end up with FooProject, which had a todo list and important links and information, sort of an executive summary <dto> then I would have FooProjectJournal, which had a sort of blog in it, where I would paste snippets of stuff... on unix you need to keep track of text <sachac> Yup, you can do that! =) <dto> so this is really a very natural transition, except planner does it for you <sachac> Or you can just stick the * Notes section at the end of your plan page for FooProject, where it doesn't really matter unless you scroll down. <laugh> <dto> I was doing it all manually in a MoinMoin wiki
2. On snarfing Outlook schedule entries
1. Should emacs-wiki links be easily editable?
I'd love to hear about any questions, comments, suggestions or links that you might have. Your comments will not be posted on this website immediately, but will be e-mailed to me first. You can use this form to get in touch with me, or e-mail me at [email protected] .

Knitter's Review
November 13, 2008
What's my favorite yarn? I've been asked that question countless times. I don't like to give a quick answer because it's like asking a mother who her favorite child is.
But one yarn always comes to mind. What is it about Elsa Wool Company Cormo that keeps me coming back for more?

SOCHI, Russia (AP) -- Jamaican bobsled fans have a new tune for their country's improbable run Sunday night.
The country's main tourism agency is touting "The Bobsled Song," a tune designed to sync with the two-man run of Marvin Dixon and Winston Watts.
See an eight-bit animated music video for the song here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v
The lyrics and "It's bobsled time" chorus follow the course of the 1,500-meter (4,921-foot) track with its 17 turns and vertical drop of 125.5 meters (410 feet).
During the last part of the course, the group sings: "Last turn, keep your head down/I see the finish line/Jamaica rock the whole town."
Jamaica, a tropical island nation, qualified for the two-man bobsled competition for the first time since 2002, making it without racing in any World Cup events but accumulating enough points in lower-tier races in North America.
The Jamaicans are considered a long shot to win a medal.
Jamaica's run to the Calgary Games in 1988 was depicted in the film "Cool Runnings."

VOLUME 7 NUMBER 1 FULL MOON OF THE YELLOW BELLS MAY 1, 1977 ATNI ATTACKS NEW WATER REGULATIONS Spokane, Washington: Yakima Nation Review Release: The Affiliated Tribes of Northwest Indians (ATNI) meeting in Spokane at their quarterly session March 21-23 rejected major portions of new water regulations proposed for review by Interior Secretary Cecil Andrus, and proposed new language in a special resolution adopted to forestall new Andrus moves. Drawing fire from Northwest tribal representatives was language in the new water use regulations recognizing the rights of non-Indians who have purchased allotted lands equal to the rights of the respective tribes themselves. ATNI in a special resolution adopted and forwarded to Andrussubmitted alternative language and rejected forthright the implications of the new Andrus policy. William H. Veeder, BIA Water Rights Specialist, who is currently under an intergovernmental transfer to several Northwest tribes from the BIA, sounded a clear alert on the first day of the quarterly session. Veeder and various other tribal attorneys who are working on on-going tribal water lawsuits, told participants the new proposed Andrus water code would constitute " an attack upon the various tribal councils to control, ad- Councilman Pat Lefthand President of A.T.N.I. minister and allocate their rights to use the water " on their reservations. " I think it is time that this most powerful Indian group consider a very basic invasion of not only your property rights but of the right to control your property rights, " said Veeder. Over 300 tribal delagates also reviewed on-going cigarette tax litigation and the taxation issue, fishing controversies, the situation of the Indian elderly, housing needs, upcoming end of the food stamp program and on-going reorganization of the division of education in the BIA. A number of policy resolutions were developed on each of the discussion topics. A bulk of the ATNI policy resolutions were acted upon at the Conference of Tribal Governments in Olympia, Wash -ington on April 5. The economic effects of the developing drought across the Northwest was also in detail. Dan McDonald Dead at 4 9 St. Ignatius: Assistant Commissioner of Indian Affairs Daniel D. McDonald died April 16, in Washington D.C. following a brief illness. He was 49 years old, and was born Dec. 13, 1927, at St. Ignatius. Heat-tended school at St. Ignatius, and graduated from Dixon High School. He was also a graduate of the University of Montana. Prior to his appointment to assistant commissioner, McDonald served as special assistant to the vice president on Indian Affairs.. He served in the Marine Corps during WW II, and had worked for the Bureau of Indian Affairs for 20 years. Wake was held April 20 and 21 at the St. Ignatius Community Center, and Mass of the Resurrection, celebrated by Fathers Obersinner and Robinson at the St. Ignatius Catholic Mission on Friday, April 22, 1977.

Wasn't the weather something last week? Yeah, something a little like last year at this time, and the spring before that, and the spring before that, and every spring before that probably back to the time when deep mud became the ruin of a whole herd of mastodons up at Zeigler pond. That's my theory anyway: Springtime killed the woolly mammoth here.
I am not insinuating that depression over the upcoming mud season killed those beasts. No! They were out playing when it happened. ("It" meaning getting in over your head, literally.) They say those gigantic prehistoric creatures had brains the size of a 4-year-old. If you gave preschoolers free rein over a hillside of mud, what are the chances they'd take full advantage of it?
But, I'm not here to talk about kids and mud. That just makes me miss the old carefree days of youth too much and worry about people with small children who installed new carpet over the winter when everything was white and clean outside and before the landscaping is mature. I really do just want to talk about spring! It's my favorite time of year.
Lots of folks will think I'm nuts, but I have never gone skiing in the rain and come home afterward saying that it sucked. Granted, our March rainstorms aren't the torrential kind they get in the Pacific Northwest that can wipe out six feet of snowpack by lunchtime. Those would suck. Neither are they the kind they get back East that saturate the snow to the point it becomes translucent and then a cold front passes and freezes it in a condition where you can see the grass beneath it as you pass over, teeth clattering.
The biggest hazard of skiing here in a springtime drizzle is that you get filthy. There's nothing like rain to loosen a whole winter's worth of grease and worn shiv assembly rubber from the lift towers just in time for your chair to pass underneath and coat you with a detergent-impervious layer of black gunk. You have to wear the old parka and pair of snowpants hanging in your garage - you know, the outfit you wear to go out and cut a Christmas tree in that you don't fret over when the saw blade slips in your numb hands and makes a jagged cut across your pants or, say, the insulated clothing you wear to change the oil in the snow blower.
I mention this hazard only because through experience I know that the only thing harder than getting that kind of stain out of your ski clothing is getting a couple of bucks out of Skico to pay the professionals to give it a try with their chemical washes. I'm pretty sure that grease is one of the hazards of skiing listed in the Skier Safety and Responsibility Act of 1992, as amended. Who knows? We all sign a document every year swearing under the penalties of perjury that we've read it, but I'm thinking that after they get done with Barry Bonds and Lance Armstrong, the federal Perjury Prosecution Patrol could start picking skiers at random to keep themselves busy pretty much forever as the public shows signs of weariness with performance-enhancing drug users.
But skiing in the rain is not really what I wanted to talk about, either. What I like best about springtime around here is that things change so fast. When we get an inch of snow in December, you know it's not going anywhere for a long time. Day after short day the winter stretches on. But, as we saw last week, one minute mountain springtime can look like the heart of Siberian winter, and then two minutes after the sun breaks out you can practically hear the tulips pushing out of the ground. I like that.
That doesn't mean I'm gung-ho for change. As a man comfortable living within the cozy trough of a deep rut, I usually don't do transition well. Maybe because of this, I appreciate the reminder of vigorous change the spring brings each and every day until eventually it just can't snow anymore. It's easy to forget that a lot can happen in a day; the extreme of which, of course, is that it could be your last one. You don't think so? Neither did most anyone else in the cemetery. That said, it is all the more incredible to be lured out into the world in awe of our part of it waking up once again.

Police say a 102-year-old Hudson Valley man died when his all-terrain vehicle overturned in a creek.
The Dutchess County sheriff's office tells local media that Neil Pearson was riding the four-wheeled ATV on his property in LaGrange Thursday when he became pinned beneath the overturned vehicle and drowned.
Deputies say tall grass prevented Pearson from seeing the stream about 60 miles north of New York City.

YMCA pool to reopen Tuesday with celebration
Published: Thursday, March 14, 2013 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, March 13, 2013 at 8:40 p.m.
The Hendersonville Family YMCA pool, closed since Feb. 25 for roof repairs and a major facelift, will reopen Tuesday, Tim DeViese, executive community director, said Wednesday evening.
The new-look pool, used by many for lap swimming, exercise classes and family recreation, will be unveiled during a grand reopening at 9 a.m. Tuesday. Following a one-hour open swim to celebrate the reopening, the YMCA's regular pool schedule will resume at 10 a.m.
Repairs to skylights in the pool area are expected to be completed today, but DeViese said the YMCA team decided "to go the extra mile" on renovations while the pool was already closed.
DeViese said many of the suggestions for improvements came from Y members.
"They are always great about providing feedback to us and have been so patient through this process," DeViese said. "They understood that safety is our No. 1 priority and we had to close the pool to make what turned out to be minor repairs to the skylights.
"We were also able to address a number of preventative items and make additional improvements that we would not be able to do when the pool is open. So for that reason we decided to take a few extra days and get it right."

A sequel to "Mrs. Doubtfire" is in the works.
Yes, they have officially run out of ideas.
Robin Williams is reportedly on board for "Mrs. Doubtfire 2," an individual familiar with situation reportedly told TheWrap.com. Chris Columbus is supposedly on board to direct the script, written by "Elf" writer David Berenbaum.
The original "Mrs. Doubtfire" grossed $441 million worldwide. And they're just now realizing, some 20 years later, that a sequel was a good idea?
Fox 2000's Elizabeth Gabler and Marisa Paiva will oversee the project for the studio.
As you may or may not know, "Mrs. Doubtfire" featured Williams playing a down-on-his-luck actor still hurting from a divorce who pretends to be a Scottish nanny so he can spend more time with his kids. Sally Field and Pierce Brosnan co-starred.
According to The Wrap, a sequel was in development a number of years ago, with Bonnie Hunt writing the script, but it never materialized -- likely because Williams wasn't on board.
Apparently, he is now. The actor -- who can currently be seen on CBS' sitcom "The Crazy Ones" -- next stars in "The Angriest Man in Brooklyn," which hits theaters in May.
Even with Williams coming around, Mara Wilson -- who played his youngest daughter Natalie Hillard -- says she wants nothing to do with the sequel.
"I've been in some mediocre movies, but I've never been in a sequel. And I have no interest in being in one now," Wilson wrote on Twitter. "Sequels generally suck unless they were planned as part of a trilogy or series. I think 'Doubtfire' ended where it needed to end."

Another blow to taxpayers
In late December, the Naugatuck firefighters union reached agreement with the borough on a new contract. The contract is just the latest reminder that public employment can provide workers with obscenely lucrative retirements.
The new contract, like its predecessor, allows firefighters already on Naugatuck's defined-benefit pension plan to retire after as few as 20 years on the job.

" esp in our area these are kingly salaries. Highly educated Accountants, engineers, IT types make no more than a fireman and get no where near the benefits and pension. I was an EMT as an Eagle scout and shotputter and could do everything a fireman does at age 16 in a rural town. It is hard to get a fire job without a family member to sponsor you though and that helps keep the competition down "

Books on beer and wine
Recently the library expanded its collection of beer books (as well as BBQ) in memory of former employee Chris Ducko, and there's a little bit for everyone. If you are curious about beer, a guide to all things beer and the many games that go along with it is available. If you enjoy food and grilling, Chef Ted Reader's companion book tells you how to taste and pair beers. Interested in making your own beer? We've got you covered with two books that include 100+ recipes. And finally, if beer isn't your thing, we even added a project book on how to build your own home winery.
The Book of Beer Awesomeness
A Champion's Guide to Amazing Beer Activities, Party Skills, and More than Fifty Drinking Games by Ben Applebaum
The Art of Grillin' & Chillin' by Ted Reader
Brewing British-style Beers
Extreme Brewing
An Introduction to Brewing Craft Beer at Home by Sam Calagione
The Homebuilt Winery
43 Projects for Building and Using Winemaking Equipment by Steve Hughes
We were able to purchase these books due to the generosity of the family of the much-beloved former Building Manager, Chris Ducko. In the coming weeks look for more posts on this topic, including a guide to beer and brewing in the Princeton area, and a full listing of all books at the library related to beer and brewing!
About the author: Ben Bakelaar is the Library Systems Administrator and has been exploring craft beer as well as brewing his own beer since 2008. He currently runs a homebrewer's meetup at Harvest Moon in New Brunswick, NJ, is a contributing blogger to Love2Brew.com, a homebrew supply store in North Brunswick, NJ, and occasionally volunteers at the Harvest Moon brewery.

Definition of sect in English:
- Christians had gone astray and corrupted the God's scriptures by dividing into different sects and beliefs.
- Sadhus belong to many different sects or orders.
- For instance, there were families, which did not mind much about the brides and bridegrooms belonging to different sects.
- Scotland was chosen as the film's setting because of its fundamentalist religious sects and remote communities.
- As Baptists, our beginnings are traced to dissenting sects of English and European Protestants.
- The confused situation gave dissenting sects the opportunity to establish themselves.
- They have tightened security measures to control the influence of extreme political sects among the uprooted multitudes.
- This was undertaken by far-left groups - small Trotskyist and Maoist sects that were moving far ahead of the mainstream.
- The dystopian political program of this utterly marginal, extremist sect has absolutely no traction with anyone of significance.
Middle English: from Old French secte or Latin secta, literally 'following', hence 'faction, party', from the stem of sequi 'follow'.
second from Middle English:
This comes from Latin secundus 'following, second', from sequi 'to follow', which gives its base sense. The time word (Late Middle English) is from medieval Latin secunda (minuta) 'second (minute)', referring to the 'second' operation of dividing an hour by 60. The verb (early 19th century) as in seconded the motion is from French en second 'in the second rank (of officers)'.

RESTON, Va., Jan. 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Santeon Group Inc. (OTCBB: SANT, "Santeon" or the "Company") announced today its decision to file Form 15 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") and cease making periodic SEC filings. The Company is eligible to deregister its stock because it has fewer than 300 shareholders of record. The Company filed Form 15 with the SEC to voluntarily suspend its reporting obligations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") on January 10, 2014. As a result of the filing of Form 15, the Company's obligation to file certain reports and forms with the SEC, including Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K, will be suspended immediately. Contemporaneously with the filing of Form 15, the Company will file a post-effective amendment to withdraw its S-8 Registration Statement filed in April 2013.
Santeon's decision to exercise its right to cease making public filings was made by the Company's Board of Directors after careful consideration of the costs and benefits of making voluntary SEC filings. The Company's Board concluded that the Company's small market capitalization, low trading volume, direct and indirect costs associated with preparing the Company's periodic reports with the SEC and the accounting, audit, legal and other costs associated with being a public company outweigh the benefits of continuing to file these reports. It is the Company's intention to invest the savings achieved by ceasing to make SEC filings back into growing the business of the Company.
The Company intends to continue to have its financial statements audited annually by an independent accounting firm and to communicate with its shareholders through its website and periodic press releases.

- Colin Kaepernick socks made of money
- 49ers stars Joe Montana and Steve Young meet again
- One 49ers great says of an aspiring 49ers great: 'More power to those guys if they can get what they can get.'
- 49ers: Colin Kaepernick's career stats
- How Kaepernick is paid among Bay Area athletes
- 49ers' Colin Kaepernick second-highest paid NFL QB
- 49ers' Kaepernick agrees to 6-year deal for $126 million
- No Roman numerals for Super Bowl 50
The 49ers made the right move, signing quarterback Colin Kaepernick to a six-year contract extension that could be worth as much as $126 million.
Sure, it's a lot of money. When you get game-changing talent, especially at quarterback, you keep it. When you have a prospect who's already produced so much in such a short time, you build on that. And when you've dealt with the drama the 49ers have, you get the distractions you can control out of the way.
With that said, this changes the expectations for Kaepernick.
Because things are different when you're eating up such a huge slice of the salary cap. The bar gets raised when you've got $61 million guaranteed.
We don't yet know the incentives and parameters tied to his contract. But some of these new expectations are understood even if unspoken. Let's spell them out.
Time to button up
People can sometimes become more wild when they come into big money. Well, Kaepernick just got a $20 million a year raise. But he can't really cut up now that he's set for life (as many others would).
Instead, he needs to become even more selfless, more humble. He needs to be aggressive about setting the tone, about keeping his nose clean, about being the leader.
He's already among the team's hardest workers. But it also means being the voice of his teammates, the standard-bearer for how the 49ers carry themselves, the place where the buck stops.
His new contract confirms him as the face of the franchise. He's now being paid like it. He needs to do more than avoid the negative spotlight. He has to bring some good light.
Kaepernick has been a lightning rod since he became the 49ers' starting quarterback. Much of it has been unwarranted scrutiny, media trying to grapple with his uniqueness against the tradition of his position.
Some of that won't go away. But Kaepernick can now be expected to be a frontman, even if in his own way. How he gives interviews, what he says, the things he does off the field, how he invests his time, his impact on the community -- all of that can shift the tide.
He can't just be his own guy anymore. He can't just do him and play football. He now must be accountable. All of it matters even more.
Time to become elite
Kaepernick's shortcomings as a player have been easy to explain away. He's young, not even three seasons under his belt as a starter. Plus he was cheap, and you can't be too picky when you're getting a bargain.
That's not going to fly anymore. His potential needs to be realized.
In the near future, Kaepernick should be counting the game's best as his peers. Peyton Manning, Drew Brees and the like.
He should be clearly above the likes of Jay Cutler and Tony Romo and Matthew Stafford. It shouldn't be debatable. He should be that good.
That's going to require consistency. It's going to require more production and maturation as a pocket passer. He'll have to supplement his noted will and explosiveness with more of the mundane and less-glorified elements of his position.
He can't rank 31st in completion percentage (58.4), 36th in passing yards per game (199.8). Can't rank 30th in sack percentage. Even 17th in touchdown passes is too low for a guy paid like a top-five quarterback.
Kaepernick is a dynamic quarterback who can do things most others can't. But now he also has to do the things everyone else can.
Time to get over hump
The 49ers could have a Super Bowl ring, maybe two, if not for Kaepernick. No, they wouldn't be in position without him. But his inability to make the big plays at the absolute highest stakes is the reason the 49ers don't have their sixth Lombardi Trophy.
In the Super Bowl, he couldn't connect with Michael Crabtree. In the NFC Championship game, he turned it over twice and then couldn't connect with Crabtree again.
With his new deal, the expectation is that Kaepernick comes through in those moments. He's been clutch at times. He's been unstoppable at others. But he has yet to register the plays for the ages with his arm, the one that puts him in the conversation with Joe Montana and Steve Young.
Even if the 49ers don't win the Super Bowl, it can't be because he didn't come through. Not with the kind of money he's now making.

The Eye of the Beholder: European Drawings and Prints from the Pulgram-McSparran Collection
December 19, 2009 through March 14, 2010
The Museum of Art has an outstanding collection of the graphic work of early 20th-century art, particularly the work of the German Expressionists. Complementing this rich array of works are the important prints and drawings that have come to the Museum as part of a gift from the late Ernst Pulgram, former emeritus professor in the University of Michigan Department of Romance and Classical Linguistics, and his wife Dr. Frances McSparran, associate professor and chief editor of the Middle English Compendium. Ernst Pulgram amassed an important collection of European graphic art ranging from Piranesi and Rodin to the German Expressionists and Giacometti. This exhibition follows an earlier exhibition drawn from the Pulgram-McSparran collection that featured drawings by Viennese artists Gustav Klimt and Egon Schiele.
The present exhibition includes drawings and prints by artists such as George Grosz, whose Hogarthian critique of post-WWI Germany still sears the mind; Ernst Kirchner, a leading figure in Die Brücke and the German Expressionist movement; and Oskar Kokoschka, whose vigorous style is characteristic of the later generation of Expressionists. Among the group of works are less typical but lyrical landscapes by Kirchner, Lovis Corinth, and Erich Heckel. This second component of the Pulgram-McSparran Collection features the social commentary, bold graphic imagery, and delectation of the female form that is embodied in the work of outstanding European artists from roughly 1920 to 1950.
This exhibition is made possible in part by the Charles H. & Katharine C. Sawyer Endowment Fund

Offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan said Wednesday after the Redskins' final practice before training camp that "the zone read is something I feel in the long run helps a quarterback." He says everyone's accounted for and there aren't many free hitters. Shanahan says "key to the zone read is just the threat of the zone read."
Shanahan also noted that Griffin's three injuries last year—a concussion against Atlanta , the right knee against Baltimore and again in the playoff loss to Seattle—came on pass plays not on quarterback runs.

Increasing global competition and heightened customer expectations have for many years now encouraged enterprises in a variety of industries to focus on, and invest in, effective operations management. In most industries, managers no longer have to be convinced of the value of taking an integrated view of the design, analysis, and operation of their manufacturing, service, and logistics operations. Indeed, in many industries, operational excellence and a sophisticated approach to supply-chain risk management based on flexibility, efficiency, and advanced tools for logistics network optimization are no longer a competitive advantage—they are necessary to compete.
Consider, for example, the semiconductor industry. Thirty years ago, the semiconductor industry was a growing technology-focused industry and, for the first time, was beginning to face cost pressures. For years, the industry had focused on superior technology, and manufacturing was an afterthought. As long as the products were manufactured as they were envisioned by their inventors, there was little need to pay attention to capacity utilization, operational efficiency, inventory levels, or risk management; if you made them, profits would come.However, as the semiconductor industry matured and competitive pressures grew, firms began to focus on operations, utilizing resources effectively and efficiently, optimizing systems, and perhaps most importantly, dealing effectively with uncertainty and risk. Significant advances in the science of operations were required to bring about these changes, and by working collaboratively among themselves as well as with academia through organizations such as SEMATECH, semiconductor firms were able to make great strides, pushing the state-of-the-art in semiconductor operations to new heights.
Biopharmaceutical firms now find themselves in a similar position. As the biopharmaceutical industry enters its fourth decade, it is entering a new, more mature phase. Revenue is growing, innovative business models and partnerships are being implemented, and products are coming to market. At the same time, this new maturity brings "adult-sized responsibility" (1). Although the science of biotechnology is advancing rapidly, with the promise of making an enormous impact on society, the operations, supply chain, and logistics of biotechnology is not keeping pace. The ability of the industry to reach its potential requires systems that can produce and deliver products safely, reliably, and cost effectively to patients, while also allowing biopharmaceutical firms to successfully navigate the many risks inherent in the industry. It is becoming apparent that the biopharmaceutical supply chain presents a unique set of operational challenges—demand is highly uncertain and dependent on the results of clinical trials and competitors' actions; supply is highly uncertain; biological processes are complex and incompletely understood; regulatory demands are significant and vary from region to region, including the existence of agencies in multiple jurisdictions that add layers of complexity; contamination is difficult to detect and can have a significant impact; product failures can cost lives; IP concerns are significant; and capacity is extremely expensive and requires long lead times to build or acquire.

Hendersonville celebrates signing of the Constitution
Published: Tuesday, September 17, 2013 at 7:20 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, September 17, 2013 at 7:20 p.m.
Re-enactors and community members took park in a celebration honoring the signing of the United States Constitution Tuesday at the Historic Courthouse in Hendersonville.
The event was organized by the Henderson County Heritage Museum, members of the Abraham Kuykendall Chapter DAR (Flat Rock) and the Joseph McDowell Chapter DAR (Hendersonville).
Bessie Bright, portraying Betsy Ross, read the preamble to the Constitution, and Sam Salyers portraying Uncle Sam talked about "What Freedom Means."
Revolutionary War re-enactor Al Denn was also on hand with various historic artifacts. Denn shared his knowledge of medicine from that era.
"The tradition of celebrating the Constitution was started many years ago by the Daughters of the American Revolution," organizers said in a news release. "In 1955, the Daughters petitioned Congress to set aside Sept. 17-23 annually to be dedicated for the observance of Constitution Week. The resolution was later adopted by the U.S. Congress and signed into law on Aug. 2, 1956, by President Dwight D. Eisenhower.
"The aims of the celebration are to emphasize citizens' responsibilities for protecting and defending the Constitution, preserving it for posterity; inform the people that the Constitution is the basis for America's great heritage and the foundation for our way of life; and encourage the study of the historical events which led to the framing of the Constitution in September 1787."

New York Fed Chief Sees Mystery in Bond Buying
PHILADELPHIA—Federal Reserve Bank of New York President William Dudley said on Saturday that some key aspects of how the central bank's bond-buying stimulus effort works remain mysterious.
For more than a year, the Fed has been engaged in purchasing Treasury and mortgage bonds in a bid to drive up growth and lower unemployment. Citing an improving economy, the Fed cut the pace of those purchases last month, and many market participants expect a steady reduction to happen over the course of this year.
The program has been controversial. While officials like Mr. Dudley and Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke see clear benefits, others have struggled to gauge the impact of the effort. Leaders at the Kansas City and Dallas Fed banks see scant value in the buying and worry its impact is instead setting the stage for new asset-market bubbles.
On the other side, some central bankers have even attempted to provide fairly clear metrics about the influence of asset buying on things like the unemployment rate. A speech last autumn by San Francisco Fed leader John Williams held that a past iteration of Fed bond-buying led to a tangible decline in the unemployment rate.
Speaking as part of a panel in Philadelphia on the activities of the regional Fed banks, Mr. Dudley acknowledged a lot is still unknown about how the bond buying works. His observation is important because he has long been a supporter of aggressive Fed actions to help the economy.
The New York Fed leader has for some time expressed support for continuing the purchases, even as he also voted in favor of the Fed's decision last month to cut back.
Referring to the Fed's stimulus program, Mr. Dudley said, "we don't understand fully how large-scale asset-purchase programs work to ease financial market conditions—is it the effect of the purchases on the portfolios of private investors, or alternatively is the major channel one of signaling?"
Most economists agree that the bond buying aids the economy by making longer-run borrowing costs cheaper. Boosting confidence in the stock market is also an aspect, and supporters of bond buying believe this dynamic helps drive growth that in turn lowers the unemployment rate toward more acceptable levels. After cutting the pace of purchases last month, the Fed is now buying $75 billion a month in Treasury and mortgage bonds.
Mr. Dudley also said that when it comes time to unwind the Fed's easy-money stance, uncertainty is again a major issue facing central bankers.
"There could be unintended consequences" about moving to a more normalized state of monetary policy, he said.
One of the big challenges facing central bankers now is the unprecedented nature of current policy. "We just don't have experience with this kind of episode," he said.
Mr. Dudley said the longer-run framework for monetary policy is also up in the air, given all the changes the Fed has made in its tool kit for influencing the economy. "There is an open question" about how the Fed will conduct monetary policy over the long run, the official said.
He declined to say what the fate of a new central bank tool designed to soak up liquidity will be. Fed officials have been upbeat about this facility, known as fixed-rate overnight reverse repurchases agreements. It is in a testing phase scheduled to end at the end of this month.

How to Draw Fashion Shoes
Draw a fierce looking high-heeled shoe.
Draw a woman's foot featuring the Barbie arch. Draw the sole of the shoe with a line that follows the Barbie arch along the bottom of the foot. Connect the sole line to the foot at both ends and shade in the area between the lines.
Draw the heel of the shoe with two almost parallel but tapering lines. Shade in the bottom of the heel for the rubber tip. Add a small reverse S curve just above the heel for the ankle bone.
Use curved lines to map out the shoe at the back of the heel and in the toe area of the shoe. Then connect the heel and toe with a line to show the side of the shoe.

South Lake Tahoe may have a new tenant for its brand-new boat house at Lakeview Commons. The city's Parks and Recreation Department has recommended South Tahoe Stand-Up Paddle to fill the space.
The City Council will vote on the recommendation at its May 1 meeting.
The Parks and Recreation Department received three responses to the request for proposals, issued last year.
"South Tahoe Stand-Up took their response to the RFP to another level," said parks and recreation director Stan Sherer. "Not only did they want to run a rental operation, but they took it further with lessons and tours."
South Tahoe Stand-Up owner Chris Brackett's ambitions for the area and the growing sport of stand-up paddling, or SUPing, go beyond even what was outlined in his pitch for the new boathouse.
"This is going to be the new stand-up capital," Brackett laughed while working around his Harrison Avenue store. "The flatwater capital will be right here."
Typically, the City Council votes with the recommendation of its departments, said councilman Tom Davis. If the council confirms the recommendation, the Brackett family will get busier than they are right now, Chris Brackett said.
"This last weekend was so crazy," he said. "I was sprinting nonstop everywhere I went."
Brackett's plan for the boathouse includes offering more than 100 rental SUP boards, canoes, kayaks and pedal boats. He'd also like to have stand-up paddle tours along the South Shore and lessons for those new to the activity. Though separate from the concession, he's already started planning a large-scale SUP event, Race the Lake of the Sky, at the new beach.
Brackett said, if they are awarded the contract, they'd like to move into the space as soon as possible. The contract for the upstairs food concession at the park has not yet been awarded. The parks and recreation department hopes to have a recommendation for that by the May 17 City Council meeting, Sherer said.
The city is planning a grand opening for the park on June 20 that will lead into the Lake Tahoe Paddle Festival June 23-24.

Taylor Morrison aims to raise $524 million
Published: Tuesday, April 2, 2013 at 1:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, April 1, 2013 at 8:14 p.m.
Staff and Wire Reports
Background: Taylor Wimpey PLC sold in 2011
Based in: Scottsdale, Ariz.
Owners include: TPG Capital, Oaktree Capital Management LP
and JH Investments Inc.
Where building in region: Esplanade at Lakewood Ranch;
Arbor Lakes on Palmer Ranch; Esplanade by Siesta Key; Arbor Reserve, North
Lockwood Ridge Road; River Plantation, Parrish; Palma Sola Trace;
Verona Reserve, Venice.
Taylor Morrison Home Corp. -- the Arizona-based homebuilder proposing Southwest Florida's first golf course in five years -- has filed to raise as much as $523.8 million in an initial public offering.
About 23.8 million shares are being offered at $20 to $22 each, according to a regulatory filing Monday by the Scottsdale, Ariz.-based company.
Taylor Morrison plans to trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol "TMHC."
The builder's Esplanade at Lakewood Ranch will have the region's first private links to be built since 2008. In addition to the 400-acre golf course, the community will contain 1,250 homesites on 600 acres.
With its IPO, Taylor Morrison is seeking to benefit from a recovery in home sales and prices, which have climbed following the worst housing crash since the Great Depression.
Taylor Morrison's owners, which include TPG Capital and Oaktree Capital Management LP, are taking advantage of rising demand for new equities as record-high U.S. stocks help fuel a pickup in the IPO market.
"We believe that a U.S. housing recovery is under way on a national basis, driven by consumers who are increasingly optimistic about their economic prospects," the company said in the prospectus filed Monday.
Besides Florida, Taylor Morrison builds homes in Arizona, California, Colorado, Texas and Ontario, Canada. It was sold in 2011 by its British parent, Taylor Wimpey PLC, to a group of investors backed by David Bonderman's TPG, Los Angeles-based Oaktree and JH Investments Inc.
Following the IPO, TPG and Oaktree will each hold 39.5 percent of the shares, while investors in the offering will hold 19.5 percent, according to the prospectus. The $21 midpoint values Taylor Morrison's outstanding common stock at $2.57 billion, the regulatory filing shows.
Taylor Morrison is selling all of the stock in the offering and will use proceeds to repay borrowings and purchase shares from TPG and Oaktree, the filing shows.
Taylor Morrison had profits of $430.8 million on revenue of $1.4 billion in 2012, ranking among the 10 largest publicly traded U.S. homebuilders, according to the prospectus. It sold 4,014 homes with an average price of $364,000.
Following the IPO, Taylor Morrison intends to sell $500 million of debt, subject to market conditions, for working capital and general purposes.
Credit Suisse Group AG and Citigroup Inc. are leading the stock sale.
Besides its Esplanade development, Taylor Morrison has been buying property around the region.
Last month, it bought 213 acres in the Palmer Ranch development for a new community. The company will be the developer and builder of Arbor Lakes on Palmer Ranch, with plans to construct about 267 single-family homes. Taylor Morrison said it plans to break ground this spring.
The homebuilder recently began selling at its 77-acre Esplanade by Siesta Key off Clark Road, a gated subdivision that will contain 247 single-family home sites.

That's the question members of the Lake Region Ministerial Association, the St. Vincent of DePaul Society and Dakota Prairie Community action Agency have all been grappling with.
Over the past two years Dakota Prairie Food pantry served an average of 439 households per year which included about 500 adults and 520 children a year. In 2011 they gave out 14, 875 pounds of food and in 2012 they gave out 9,196 pounds of food.
Did you know that Devils Lake doesn't have a full time community food pantry? Dakota Prairie Community Action Agency is an emergency food pantry. A lot of food is given out and it is wonderfully supported by our community, but it is not a full time food pantry.
The Lake Region Ministerial Association, Salvation Army, St. Vincent of DePaul and Dakota Prairie Community Action Agency have been discussing creating a community run food pantry.
They've determined that there is a need for a full-time food pantry in our community. There are a number of reasons for this need. An average of 12,000 pounds of food a year may seem like a lot, but that still doesn't cover the need in the community. Being an emergency food pantry means that households are limited to how much food, what kinds of food and how often they can get food.
There is a true belief that churches should be the driving force to meet the food/hunger needs for the less fortunate in every community and there is a genuine concern that as funding for Dakota Prairie Community Action Agency continues to decline there is no certainty that the emergency food pantry at Dakota Prairie will be able to continue. Many North Dakota communities have food pantries that operate largely through the support of churches and other community organizations.
There is going to be a meeting on Thursday, Jan. 10 at 7 p.m. at the Heartland Care Center Community Room.
Interested/driven church members and community members, along with service clubs/organizations from the Lake Region are encouraged to attend.
More details will be shared and conversations will take place about where to go from here. Please join us if you are willing to share this vision of a new "COMMUNITY" run food pantry.

Airline Merger Glitches Inevitable 'Cost of Doing Business'
Best U.S. Airports for Business Travelers
US Airways Group and AMR's American Airlines agreed to merge last week, and if all goes according to plan, the companies will begin to integrate systems after the transaction is completed later this year. While the deal still needs to gain approval from the Justice Department, history has shown that clearing IT hurdles may be the toughest challenge.
Though the majority of integration problems never reach the attention of the media, glitches during migration are inevitable and "part of the cost of doing business," said Lori Sharp, vice president of Sabre Airline Solutions, the company that manages American's reservation system. Ms. Sharp has managed more than 80 reservation system migrations during other mergers and platform upgrades. And whether the merged airline chooses to move all its customer records onto Sabre or US Airways' reservation system, Ms. Sharp will be involved in the migration.
Ms. Sharp has developed a detailed playbook on how to handle migrations. But Ms. Sharp's experience has taught her that the vast complexity in moving customer records across reservation systems, which must continue to process thousands of transactions a minute during the transition, means "there is a certain amount of things that are going to go wrong–it's never picture perfect."
Those issues can include:
Lost customer and flight records. Ms. Sharp says Sabre successfully transfers 100% of the customer profiles and flight schedules, but the records are sometimes improperly coded and misplaced during the migration between systems. To prevent these problems before the switch, Ms. Sharp conducts a minimum of five dry runs over the course of 10 months. After testing is complete, Ms. Sharp asks the airlines to freeze its schedules two weeks before her team turns the switch on the real migration. Changes to flight schedules after her team has completed its mapping of the migration can cause records to be lost during the move. But sometimes the airlines don't listen, Ms. Sharp said. The integration issues caused by the last minute changes can lead to delayed or missed flights. They "are never very difficult to fix. But they are time consuming," Ms. Sharp said.
A multitude of players. Merging data from two companies is hard enough. But reservation systems can include a multitude of smaller platforms like revenue management tools and customer loyalty platforms, many of which are serviced by separate vendors. Reservation system migrations can involve as many as 20 companies, Ms. Sharp said. "All those changes are being made at once," Ms. Sharp said. "There are a lot of companies and a lot of infrastructure at play dealing with high speed, complicated transactions."
Business processes. With so much in play, sometimes basic business processes are forgotten. After a migration at an airline Ms. Sharp declined to name, managers failed to give reservation agents new IDs to log in to the system. Many agents couldn't log on and serve customers, causing flights to be delayed and cancelled. Though Ms. Sharp says Sabre gave the airline detailed documentation on how to manage the rollout, the airline failed to pass on the instructions to employees. The experience has led Ms. Sharp to more carefully check that airlines are ready to put in place all new procedures following a rollout. "We have learned that no matter who is supposed to be responsible, you need to watch each other's back and triple check everything," Ms. Sharp said.
Integration problems have been a factor in airline mergers for years United Continental Holdings's melding of reservation systems last March led to flight delays and lost loyalty plan data. And recurrent IT integration issues had "put a great deal of stress on our operation and our people" and harmed the company's performance, United Continental's chief revenue officer James Compton said in an October call with investors. US Airways itself experienced IT integration turbulence in an earlier merger with America West Airlines, when it attempted to meld reservation systems in 2007, leading to trouble with self-service kiosks and delayed flights.
A spokesman for American said it was too soon to "discuss specifics related to integrating technology systems at American and US Airways." US Airways and United Continental did not return requests for comment before publication time.
