FREMONT -- After living among North Beach's legendary cafes for a dozen years, I thought my San Francisco-bred coffee snobbery was unbreakable.
Mission Coffee Roasting Co. proved me wrong.
First, the Mission San Jose district cafe caught my attention with its perfectly frothed cappuccinos. Then I found salads and panini tasty enough to let me fantasize I'd flown to Europe for the day. (Hi, my name is Chris, and I'm a pesto-aholic.)
I eyed the room's high ceiling and the walls covered with dozens of abstract paintings by local artists. Then I turned my attention to the morning crowd -- a mix of sleep-deprived tech executives and chatty soccer moms who seemed to be enjoying a rare respite in a large, rectangular room that somehow feels both spacious and cozy. Customers soaked in the smell of coffee beans and fresh bread while arming themselves with caffeine before waging their daily Silicon Valley battles.
I sat on the cafe's thrift-store furniture and watched the sedate morning scene give way to sometimes boisterous students from nearby Ohlone College and Mission San Jose High, who spent the afternoon cramming for the next day's tests. Come sundown, an unlikely brew emerged, as nonprofit groups held meetings among the cafe's lifeblood -- the area's cluster of poets, painters, filmmakers and musicians, who are welcomed by Mission Coffee's owners as if they were long-lost relatives.
"It's become Fremont's living room," said Andrew Macrae, a local author whose friends sometimes leave messages for him here. "There isn't a time of day where you don't see people sitting there doing homework, holding meetings or just relaxing."
Don and Gael Stewart, the cafe's owners, didn't start Mission Coffee with the goal of flipping the bird to all those corporate coffee chains that try to pass for arts culture. They are proud of the cafe's "funky, casual vibe" and that the area's artists have embraced it, Gael Stewart said.
When they opened the 3,000-square-foot cafe in 2002, they transformed the barren, "empty shell" of a building at 151 Washington Blvd., near Mission Boulevard, into a "traditional Berkeley-style coffee house," she said.
Like the artists they cultivate, the Stewarts do their own thing. They roast their own beans, which they sell to a limited number of companies and local eateries. They've become part of the eMission San Jose community by volunteering time and resources to nonprofit organizations.
"That sense of community is unbelievable in Fremont," Gael Stewart said. "As much as it's a big city, it's also a small town."
Locals volunteer to manage the java joint's slate of performances and art shows. Jan Schafir, an art studio owner and instructor, chooses the artists who showcase their work here. Wayne and Sue Brask manage monthly concerts with an eclectic roster of blues, folk and rock. A monthly folk music jam is scheduled every third Sunday. Movie nights offer family-friendly classics on a large screen at no cost. "The Black Swan," a 1942 pirate yarn starring Tyrone Power, will be screened at 6:30 p.m. Sunday.
Macrae has used the cafe to stage a reading of Allen Ginsberg's groundbreaking poem, "Howl" and re-create vintage radio show dramas, such as "The Lone Ranger" and "War of the Worlds." Macrae also manages monthly open mic nights, where musicians and authors share their latest works.
"You'll see someone who looks shy or scared," he said. "And then they knock everyone out with a great performance. That's so much fun to see."
A baby grand piano sits in the back of the room. Once in a while, the cafe's staff hears someone tinkling the piano's ivories. Without skipping a beat, they will lower the volume of recorded music already playing and let the would-be Beethoven play.
Like the North Beach cafes of my youth, Mission Coffee fits its community, serving up quality java and culture while avoiding the snobbery that plagues other cafes.
This recovering coffee snob would know.

Mila Hermanovski's Blog
No Surprise
It's the ubiquitous Heidi challenge. It seems Heidi always has (yet another) product she's launching, and this time it's her latest perfume, "Surprise." It must be hard being Heidi, in constant need of new things to wear to all the events associated with all these launches. Enter the "Project Runway" designers!
The designers enter the workroom and find giant pink gift boxes with black ribbons...my immediate thought was, "WOW, it's the Agent Provocateur lingerie challenge!" (Rhat is their exact packaging/gift box, and probably one of HK's favorite brands). Then when I saw little bowls of various scent ingredients, I knew I was on a different path. Tim gives the designers the exact same spiel he gave us on Season 7 when we had our Heidi Challenge: "You've got a VERY important client with VERY strong opinions..." And soon it is revealed that the task is to design looks for Heidi to wear in a commercial/print ad and to the press event for the new fragrance, using the colors on the perfume bottle/packaging: black, pink and gold.
By the way, can we please rename these teams? I don't think they could be any worse. I doubt if the designers realized those names would be permanent for the entire season.
It's always interesting to see how certain designers do with "red carpet"-type challenges. It can be an intimidating thing, especially when designing for ze Kluminator. She does, after all, have strong opinions, and will tell you she's quite picky. I think Joseph, left to his own devices, would have probably designed some cat-themed hand-hooked or patchwork creation and made it into a gown. He says he aspires to see his design on the worst-dressed list. With a schizophrenic portfolio such as his, I think his dreams could come true. Thank goodness Amanda is there to reel him in.
In the workroom, Cindy asks advice from her peers: "Which is better: the pink taffeta or the iridescent pink shantung?" Uh, have you got anything less suited for an 80s prom dress, Cindy? Layana, who has immunity, is a total Nervous Nelly, getting hung up on minute details, such as the right shade of pink fabric, which by the way has already been purchased. Kate is right: there is no time for that. For better or for worse, in a one-day challenge, there is barely time to even step back and look at your design objectively. And even if you can, should you decide something is not working, there is seldom a) time to rework it and b) material with which to rework it. Decisions need to be made quickly and one needs to be constantly moving forward. Benjamin is struggling and reveals his personal "skeletons" in an interview. While this is touching, Benjamin, it's a bit early to be breaking down! It's only the third episode (they have likely been in New York only ONE WEEK), and I wonder how he will do as the season continues. Losing one's confidence in this fierce competition and stressful setting can be your worst enemy.
Keeping It Real is clearly the winning team. Layana and Kate's winning look blew everyone else's out of the water. Not only was the design chock-full of details, but it was so very Heidi. It fulfilled the challenge perfectly. In addition, it was well-executed and the fit was spot-on. Daniel's gown was wildly overpraised though. To me it looked like a tarty Kardashian gown out of cheap jersey, in a rather unflattering, dead color. Not worthy of second place in my opinion, but then again better than some others. Patricia's dress, while I appreciate her ambitious fabrication and unique design, was incomplete; she needed another day (or half-day, as it seems she works very quickly) to add more leather squares to cover up the remainder of what looks like a nude slip or lining. It simply looks like she ran out of time and/or fabric, and part of the challenge on "Project Runway" is managing one's time and materials. This again, is the problem with the "team" format this season: the judges have to select three top looks from the team the winning look is on. What if there is a look better than the second and third place looks on the other team? And how about that cha-cha-chicken look of Richard's? The judges did make some criticism of it, but he basically gets through unscathed.
Dream Team loses again, with several uninspiring looks, and several catastrophes. As predicted, Cindy creates an 80s-looking "mall" dress, extremely underdesigned and uninspiring. After having lowest-scoring looks every challenge, she is eliminated. Benjamin barely scoots by with his "shipwrecked" blunder. I have no words. Clearly his personal struggles got in the way of his confidence and productivity and it shows. The model is lucky the bust of the dress didn't fall down! Matthew's dress was just in bad tastedid he think Heidi was going to a Playboy event? Two designers who made their models busts look tragic...don't they know by now that Heidi is boobie-obsessed?!

- Partnership Opportunities
- Success Stories
India accounts for 21% of the world's global burden of disease. India is home to the greatest number of maternal, newborn and child deaths in the world. According to recent estimates, India is losing more than 6% of its GDP annually due to premature deaths and preventable illnesses. Access to quality services is an overarching impediment, with technical and operational capacity limitations. Despite increases in the Indian Government's health budget, India's public investment in health remains low.
USAID/India partners with national- and state-level institutions and demonstrates high-impact best practices in the areas of family planning/reproductive health; maternal, newborn, and child health; and global disease threats including HIV/AIDS, polio, and tuberculosis. USAID/India seeks to strengthen India's health workforce, enhance the quality of data for decision-making, strengthen management of India's supply chain for health commodities, and reduce out-of-pocket payments for health care. USAID efforts embody a whole-of-market approach that mobilizes both private and public health systems essential to achieve universal access, reduce out-of-pocket expenditures and improve client satisfaction. In line with President Obama's Global Health Initiative and GOI priorities, USAID envisions that its technical cooperation, coupled with government and private sector resources, will continue to improve the Indian health system to scale-up proven, high-impact interventions to achieve and sustain health gains.
India is a proven laboratory for health innovations and provides a unique setting for USAID to extend innovations for global impact. USAID is building locally-led alliances and platforms that enable private and public sector partners to contribute significant shared resources.
Maternal and Child Health: USAID support focuses on high-impact interventions during a mother's most critical 24-hour period around labor, delivery, and post-partum to reduce maternal mortality, saving both mothers and newborns.
USAID is working to increase access to and availability of skilled providers for deliveries, comprehensive and integrated antenatal care, and immunizations for children. USAID is also addressing the key drivers of child mortality, such as pneumonia and diarrhea by strengthening the Integrated Management of Neonatal and Childhood Illnesses program and improving the use of oral rehydration salts and zinc.
USAID's maternal and child health program is a major avenue through which the U.S. Government is building on India's commitments to the 'Child Survival Call to Action: A Promise Renewed' announced in June 2012, as well as addressing the Millennium Development Goals.
HIV/AIDS: USAID is working with the Government of India to strengthen India's decentralized response, supporting a partnership with the Indian National AIDS Control Organization that has produced significant results. USAID is focusing on prevention among key populations, identifying and responding to needs at the national, state, and district levels. In collaboration with other U.S. Government agencies, USAID is supporting the GOI in strengthening the capacities of State AIDS Control Societies, District AIDS Prevention and Control Units, and NGOs to improve the quality and accessibility of services.
The President's Emergency Program for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) is transitioning globally from its early emergency phase to a more sustainable approach with increasingly strategic investments. In line with this transition, USAID is providing a model technical assistance program in India that is cost-effective and where best practices can be identified and shared with other countries.
Tuberculosis (TB): USAID is supporting the GOI's Revised National TB Control Program. Interventions include: improving and scaling comprehensive HIV/TB services; strengthening and accrediting intermediate reference laboratories for diagnosis of Multi Drug Resistant TB; improving airborne infection control; introducing new diagnostics; and increasing involvement of private providers. Efforts aim to improve TB case detection and treatment success rates and achieve national targets in priority geographic areas.
Polio: USAID supported the surveillance, community and social mobilization, and partner coordination efforts to enable India to achieve the historic "Polio-Free" status in 2014. While India remains polio free, there is still a risk of importation from neighboring countries, such as Pakistan and Afghanistan where transmission of the polio virus continues. To mitigate this risk, USAID assists the Government of India to prepare emergency response and preparedness plans in the event the virus is imported and to conduct environmental surveillance to capture any last traces of hidden virus.
Family Planning (FP) and Reproductive Health: USAID's FP activities are focused on supporting an individual's right to make an informed and voluntary choice about their use of family planning, and to access any desired FP method, including short-term, long-acting, and permanent methods. These activities include: improving social behavior change communication and counseling skills for promoting informed choice from the variety of available contraceptive options; improving the quality of FP services; and promoting an expanded variety of contraceptive options. These services will make substantial contributions to reducing maternal and child mortality and morbidity, while mitigating the adverse effects of population dynamics.

Beaumont, Texas- The Texas A&M-Corpus Christi volleyball team fell to Southland Conference opponent Lamar by a score of 3-0 (25-18, 25-19, 25-16).
TAMUCC falls to 3-12
on the year, 1-4 in the SLC while Lamar improves to 6-8 overall,
4-1 in SLC play.
The Islanders were never able to gain traction in the first match, with the last tie being when Chelsea Myers recorded a kill to make it 2-2.
The Cardinals slowly pulled away, building their lead to as many as eight before closing out the match on a Lauren Holdorff kill to give Lamar the first set.
Kasey McBrearty recorded five of her team-high 10 kills in the first set but it was not enough as the Cardinals built an insurmountable lead and put the final margin of the set at 25-18.
In the second set, the Islanders grabbed an early lead when Lauren Paslay and Jessica Korda combined on a block assist for the first point of the set and McBrearty added another kill to make it 2-0 in favor of the Islanders.
The Cardinals came back to tie the game at 2-2 but a kill by Paslay once again put the Islanders ahead at 3-2.
After falling behind 5-4, a Jessica Jennett kill knotted the set at 5-5. The Cardinals would score four of the next five points to go ahead 10-6.
After a timeout called by the Islanders, they reeled off four straight points on back-to-back Paslay kills, a Paslay and Jennett block assist and a kill by Jessica Korda to tie the game once again, this time at 10-10.
It would be the last time the game would be level however, as the Cardinals outscored the Islanders 15-9 the rest of the way, finishing the set off on a Kaci Brewer kill to take a 2-0 lead in sets.
In the third set, a Jennett service ace and Diandra Torres kill quickly gave the Islanders a 2-0 lead. After a point by the Cardinals, a service error on Lamar added to the Islander lead at 3-1.
Lamar would then score five straight points to take a 6-3 advantage, a lead they would never relinquish. The Cardinals quickly built a five point lead at 10-5 and had their advantage reach as many as 11 at 19-8.
The Islanders fought to get back within striking distance, whittling the lead down to eight before the Cardinals eventually closed out the set and match at 25-16 on another set-clinching kill by Brewer of the Cardinals.
McBrearty led the Islanders with 10 kills in the match as well as a team-high 11 kills. Jennett had a season-high 25 assists to lead the Islanders. Paslay and Jennett led TAMUCC in block assists with two each.
Brewer led the Cardinals with a match-high 16 digs while Shalayne Blythe had a match-high 12 kills. Ashley Todd added another match-high with 44 assists.
The Islanders look to regroup before taking on Stephen F. Austin next Wednesday night, October 15 in a midweek SLC matchup. After the midweek match, the Islanders return home to take on McNeese State at Moody Fieldhouse on Saturday, October 18 at 2 p.m.

By Ms. Gloria Montgomery (Army Medicine)June 16, 2014
West Point, New York-- Joey Gugliota, the 24-year-old former New Yorker now living in Chicago, has been confined to a wheelchair since age five. Gugliota has been hooping it up on wheels since he was first introduced to wheelchair basketball at age nine. He, along with three other professional coaches, is at the U.S. Military Academy, West Point, N.Y., teaching Soldiers and Marines the art of the "pick and roll" of wheelchair basketball in preparation for the 2014 Army Warrior Trials, June 15-19.
More than 100 wounded, ill and injured service members and Veterans from across the United States are at West Point competing in the Warrior Trials where athletes from the Army, Marines and Air Force face off in archery, basketball, cycling, track and field, swimming, shooting, sitting volleyball and wheelchair basketball. Participants in the trials include athletes with spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, visual impairment, serious illnesses and amputations.
Developed by World War II veterans in the mid 1940s, wheelchair basketball is one of the premier events in the Paralympic Games, which are for athletes with physical disabilities and held in conjunction with the Summer Olympics. Rules are similar to able-bodied collegiate ball, but are modified to include the wheelchair.
"In essence, the chair is part of the body," said assistant coach Lee Montgomery, 57, who first started playing 37 years ago after watching a local team during his stay at a rehab hospital. "If I'm shooting and someone hits me hard, that's a foul. If he hits my arm, that's a foul, too."
Other actions that are fouls include flipping someone out of the chair or backing up into an opponent.
"It's all in the intent," added Rodney Williams, 63, who has been playing since his college days 41 years ago at San Jose State University in California when one of his college buddies in a wheelchair kept on bugging him to play. "I had never used a wheelchair because I walked with crutches and braces, so to get him off my back; I decided to go to a practice. I thought it was fun, so I've been playing ever since."
Other rule modifications include no dunking, no double dribbling and 30 seconds to shoot the ball instead of 35 seconds.
One question the coaches are often asked is goal height.
"People think it's amazing that it's the same height," said 37-year-old head coach Jermell Pennie who has been confined to a wheelchair since age five. In 1995 he began playing wheelchair basketball, and in 2004 was on the U.S. Paralympics Wheelchair Basketball team representing Team USA in Athens. "I never knew about wheelchair basketball, but I did know about the Paralympics."
Pennie, who coaches the Dallas Junior Wheelchair Mavericks team, said he is impressed with the military teams that will compete against each other this week.
"The athletes here are like a sponge," he said. "They take our information and go with it. This is the first time some of them have ever jumped in a wheelchair and played, and they look really good. They're picking it up like they've been playing for a couple of years."
Shooting, Williams said, is different from able-bodied ball because "You don't have your legs."
"Most of the shots from the able-body players come from the legs, and they don't use so much of their arms," he said. "For us, it's all upper body, so you have to develop proper technique to put power in your shot."
Arm, hand and wrist position are also important for shooting accuracy.
"You have to keep the elbow in or someone is going to go behind you and grab the ball," the Californian said, adding that a player's fingers need to be spread out over the ball, unlike able-bodied ball. "You also have to keep your wrist cocked when you follow through. It's all about practice and doing the same thing every time."
The pick and roll, said Montgomery, big in wheelchair basketball and involves putting the chair in position to inhibit the opposing player and going for the basket.
"If I set a good pick on my opponent, they aren't going to get around me like an able-body player can," the Grand Rapids, Mich., resident said. "Because the chair has this wide angle, you are able to set a great pick and leave the defender in the back. In defense, you want to be between the man and the basket. Now the defender is outside the play," adding that once the pick is set, the roll is turning the chair facing the basket and looking for the ball.
The pick and roll technique is new for Marine Sgt. Joel Hillner, Camp Pendleton, Calif., who has been playing just eight weeks. "I've learned a lot about it," he said, adding that it's a lot of fun, but his blistered fingers are really taking a beating. "I won't wear gloves because it affects my shooting."
Army Private 1st Class Kevin Szortyka, Fort Stewart, Ga., who has been playing the sport for about eight months, also credits the pick and roll skill development as the most important technique he has learned from the coaches, who he calls "awesome."
"I didn't have a lot of team play," so this training has been really important," he said. The 25-year-old Army private who injured his back in a training exercise said the coaches are available after practice to work one-on-one with the players. "They truly have a genuine interest in us no matter what our skill level is. They just want us to grow as players whether or not we advance here."
Szortyka, from Tallahassee, Fla., credits the Army's adaptive sports and reconditioning programs like wheelchair basketball a "blessing."
"It's allowed me to continue to compete," he said. "A lot of us, once we get these injuries, feel like our days of competition are behind us. Adaptive sports helps us continue with that competitive nature we are born with and that we've had throughout our military career."
For Coach Gugliota, who went to college on a partial wheelchair basketball scholarship, giving back to his military pupils has been wonderful.
"They've been through so much, and have done so much for us. I'm honored to be here. As far as the players, they're anxious and ready to play," he said. "I'm here to help them get better."
Gugliota also knows what it's like when an injury or an issue robs one of that competitive edge.
"I had just learned to ride a bike when a tree fell on our camper, so here I am adjusting to life as a little kid going from riding a bike to being in a wheelchair. I was the only disabled kid in school and had never been around anyone with a disability," he said. "Wheelchair basketball introduced me to other kids with disabilities, so it helped me get over my disability."
The coaches are eager to get the ball rolling to show off their pupils' skills and introduce others to the sport of wheelchair basketball.
"It's as physical as any sport out there," said Rodney. "This isn't a game of people in wheelchairs playing basketball. I guarantee you that once they start playing and you see their level of enthusiasm, you won't think these are wheelchair patients. These are wheelchair athletes."

I haven't gotten the huckleberry truffles in quite some time, I moved, had some family issues, and some pain issues. Well, I got my order around last week, and I don't think the 20 ct. box lasted 2 whole days! The combination of the huckleberry preserves, sweet but not overwhelmingly so, and the white chocolate ganache is just incredible. I was hooked from the first truffle, and will continue to purchase this delicious truffle...bulk!

For the first time in Olympic history, millions of people around the world were witness to women's boxing this past summer, and to say it received a warm reception would be bordering on understatement of the year territory. Some of the loudest cheers during the Olympics were recorded at the ExCel Arena where those stirring bouts took place, leaving every indication that things have only just begun for the sport.
In becoming the first ever woman to win an Olympic gold medal in boxing, Nicola Adams not only wrote her name into the legacy of the Games, but created a new hunger amongst old and new fans alike who are now all vying to see the Leeds-born fighter on the grand stage once again.
"After some of the reactions the women's boxing received in the summer I think the anticipation and excitement around the sport is going to be immense, definitely." Nicola said.
"I couldn't believe the amount of support we were getting in the ExCel Arena, it was fantastic. The boxing stadium was actually louder than any other the stadiums around, the amount of support we had was incredible. And now with the Commonwealth Games and Rio 2016 coming up, I can only see that growing, and it is only going to get better."
As Sportsvibe exclusively revealed earlier in the week, Anthony Ogogo became the first Team GB boxing medallist to make the jump to the professional game, teaming up with Oscar De La Hoya's renowned Golden Boy Promotions. With the women's professional sport a far cry from the money-laden world of the men's game, Nicola is in no rush to make the jump herself, concentrating on the burning ambition to become a double Olympic champion.
The gold medallist is hopeful that part of the legacy of the games will see a bit more light shone upon the amateur side of the sport, after the rousing exploits of people like herself and Ireland's Katie Taylor. "If anything I hope the legacy of the games means that there will be a bit more focus on the amateur side of women's boxing," she continued.
"Now that people have had a greater exposure to it they will want to go out and watch it more often now, it will get more exposure on television, and through the media. Everyone is always asking me on Twitter when am I next boxing and when is it going to be on telly, so I'm hoping there will be more television coverage as we push on after the summer."
Olympian Nicola Adams was talking at the launch event for the new DEWALT XR Battery Powered Framing Nailer. For more information visit www.dewalt.co.uk

Natural Gas Crisis Ahead: Energy Secretary Encourages Smart Energy Use
Secretary of Energy Spencer Abraham remains concerned about natural gas supplies in the United States, and he expressed those concerns at the Natural Gas Summit, held in late June in Washington, D.C. Noting that U.S. natural gas storage is 32 percent below last year's level, and 22 percent below the previous five-year average, Secretary Abraham warned that next winter's heating bills could increase as much as 19 percent in the Midwest. "It is a national concern that will touch every American," said Secretary Abraham.
Secretary Abraham followed up on that message on July 1st with a visit to DOE's National Renewable Energy Laboratory, where he encouraged Americans to make use of energy efficiency and renewable energy in their homes and businesses.
"By incorporating advanced energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies that reduce energy use into building designs, the U.S. building sector is achieving significant results," Abraham said. "Individuals can also play an important role in reducing energy usage. Conserving energy in the home saves consumers money today while also helping ensure abundant energy supplies in the future."
To help Americans use energy wisely, Secretary Abraham suggested they refer to DOE's Energy Savers Web site.
See the DOE press releases from June 26th and July 1st, as well as the Secretary's Natural Gas Summit speech.

Evening fellow Yids.
This is a must win game for us.
No good going to Old Trafford and winning and then losing in your own back yard to a bunch of over rated t0ssers who parked a 37 bus and won the champions league.
In the last two PL games against this lot we should have had all 6pts and so we need to put them to the sword.
When you live in the south of London like me,these fcukers are everywhere and totally get in your face with how great they are with all their money, how they deserve to be where they are.
Yes, this is going to be a tough test for us,but looking at player for player i think we can match them in all areas,and we have the home advantage in the FANS.
2-0 at half time and 3-1 on the final whistle.
Get in you Yids.

Squeaky bum time!
I reckon we need an injection of Adebayor, and for... some of midfield (dunno who) to be pulling the Chelsea players infield so Lennon can make more of an impact, he usually has the run of Cole.
It seems to me to be a largely fair game, fouls have been more mistimed than cynical, so 5 yellows seems like a lot for the whole match, never mind the half. Any idea what Tom's was for? & I thought Gallas got the ball.
However, I don't think it's a must win against the in-form side of the season so far, I think it's an ideally don't lose... obviously the better the result the better implications for us post-match, but it's not the end of the world if it a poor result.

Sadly without Bale and Dembelee we looked out classed in the middle,Tom still looks a little sluggish as usual and Gilfi lacks that little bit of class as shown in his finishing.
Thought we done well to turn it around to 2-1 but Chelsea had enough talent in midfield to get back into the game and along with some bad marking and giving the ball away cheaply(Walker)
the chavs filled thier boots.
The back line needs BAE back asap as VERT loves to get forward and without Bale for cover leaves the left flank open to attack.
We seem to have lost a little pace going forward but i'm sure we can put that back together with our preferred starting 11.
Hope that Ade and Defoe can prove that they can start playing together as Dempsey seems more of a poacher which leaves him isolated and not involved enough.
Lessons will have been learned today and another creative midfieder needs to be bought in the Jan window.
Just hope we bounce back with winning ways and stay in that top bit of the table......still early days!

i thought we did really well with a much weakened team.
+ we had hudd on the pitch which reallly means we are a man light!
lets face it, chelsea are a much better team. & we had key players like dembele & bale out. we also could have done with parker instead of hudd. at least sandro wouldnt then be on his own against the 3 chelsea players.
i thought we lose before i saw demebele & bale were out.
so 4-2 of which 1 was a last min goal is nothing to be ashamed of.
great to see gallas get his first goal finally.
& another well taken goal from defoe & his 200th.
i think avb made a mistake playing hudd who isnt just good enough for a top 6 team. i know livermore isnt great, but at least him running around putting in tackles would have been better than hudd trotting around.
anyway. a defeat but a good effort with a weakened team against a much better team.
chelsea still need to get another striker thou. falcao would be a huge improvement on torres.

Multi-socket CMT servers running wild...
By chhandomay on Apr 09, 2008
the day!!!
We are going multi-socket with Niagara-based systems.
2 CMT CPUs X 8 cores/CPU X 8 threads/core = 128 threads/system.
In simple terms, TONS of horsepower to run LOTS of applications.
As Wall Street Journal reports, IT.com found out early how these systems can change their business...
And Alan has a nice post on the reactions from the amped up engineers.
Let's cap it off with the best news -- our Try & Buy users can save up to 45% if they purchase trial units before June 30.
UPDATE: InfoWorld published a preview of the system today with the full review to come in the next couple of weeks.

Senate Bill 18: Eminent Domain Reporting
After it became effective in 2011, Senate Bill 18 required public and private entities in Texas claiming eminent domain authority to submit a letter to the Comptroller's office by certified mail, return receipt requested, on or before December 31, 2012. In the letter, these entities were required to report whether they were authorized by the State to exercise eminent domain authority and identify the provisions of state law granting that authority. An entity that was created or that acquired eminent domain authority on or after December 31, 2012, was not subject to this reporting requirement. Unless an entity submitted a letter in accordance with the requirements of Senate Bill 18, its eminent domain authority would have expired on September 1, 2013.
The following Senate Bill 18 List Search identifies those entities that submitted the SB 18 letter to the Comptroller's office as follows: sent by the entity, claiming eminent domain authority, with provisions cited, by December 31, 2012, and sent by certified mail, return receipt requested.
Note: This list is only a confirmation of receipt and is not verification of compliance. Entities should consult the appropriate legal counsel for verification of statutory compliance.

|Map of Bohemia / Czech Republic, Geographicus
Bohemian Settlements
Few researchers learn of their Bohemian ancestors' colorful history. Actually our informal poll revealed that most researchers did not know Bohemia was part of the Austrian Hungarian Empire that could boast of its independent "kingdom" from the 1400's to the end of WWI. Even fewer noted knowledge of Missouri Bohemians colonies outside the popular south St. Louis settlements. But, Bohemian settlements scattered across America as far south as Louisiana to New York City. Czech-Bohemian settlements populated midwest towns from Kansas and Minnesota to the Dakotas. And, there were colonies in Texas, Cleveland and Iowa. But the Missouri settlements are usually only mentioned in St.Louis; yet, there were Bohemian settlements that lined the Missouri River Valley. Even the Cuivre River Valley in Mo. had a small Bohemian settlement as early as 1840 (reference Lincoln County, Hawk Point, Mo. and historical Mashek, Mo.).
Bohemians were generally noted as those who originated from western Czechoslovakia. Bohemian Jews, from southern Bohemia began populating Missouri as early as 1816 (first noted in St. Louis). Czech Bohemians originating from the Austrian Empire began migrating to Missouri about 1847 speaking Czech and German. Whereas, many settled in south St. Louis, others settled in the following Missouri townships:
- Bolivar and Karlin
- Cainsville
- Fenton
- High Rdge
- Kansas City
- Mashek
- Rock Creek
- St. Charles
- St. Joseph
|Civil War Provost Marshal Record
Census records may give you a hint on your Bohemian ancestor's origin, but their birthplace may be noted as Bohemia, Czechoslovakia, Austria, Austro-Hungary, or Germany. But, by corroborating census records with a few other useful documents, you may find answers to your Bohemian family research questions.
|Provost Marshal Correspondence on Bohemians
Form RG110, NARA - KC, Civil War
- Civil War Records. Missouri Provost Marshal records found at the Kansas City - NARA, gives us tips/hints to the residences and social life of the Bohemians in Mo. (See RG110). In Missouri more than 60 Bohemians served with the 2nd Regiment, US Reserve Corps, Mo. Volunteers; and 80 Bohemians served in the 4th Regiment Infantry, Missouri Volunteers.
- Naturalization Records. There are 1143 indexed naturalization cards/records on the Missouri Digital Heritage site noting birth place as Bohemia. It is also possible however, that your ancestor recorded his place of origin as Czechoslovakia.
- Passenger List. Be sure to review the Czech Immigration Passenger lists, Vol. I – IX compiled by Leo Baca. We have found that many of the early Missouri Bohemians came through New Orleans from Bremen Germany, but this passenger list compilation includes most of the popular ports.
- Cemetery. When researching your Bohemian ancestor, don't forget to check the local Jewish cemetery. In St. Louis begin your cemetery research with the New Mount Sinai Cemetery. Although many Bohemians were Jewish, others were practicing Catholics or FreeThinkers. For ancestors of Jefferson County, MO, review the Cemeteries in Jefferson County, MO. Czech-Slavonic Benevolent Association: C.S.P.S. (Bohemian) Cemetery
- Orphanage. Be sure to learn about the Hessoun Bohemian Catholic orphanage in Fenton, St Louis County, MO., 1908-1954. Bohemians and other Czech Slovak orphans from across America were admitted into the St. John Nepomuk Church orphanage.

Well, here we are. We weren't thrust into a new dark age oblivion, the world didn't end and neither did my workaday quest for the best music for the day. This year was rife with records that just had to be snatched -- reissues, compilations, and a fair few newbies too.
Here follows my personal, "show and tell" style best-of list for 2012: the year that didn't stop the big wheel a-turnin'. Rather than just dicing up a list of cold-cut favorites, I've included personal events and trends herein that shaped the music I sought and gravitated towards within the past year.
BEST NEW ALBUM OF THE YEAR: Jessica Pratt - JP. No contest. I have naught but the best of things to say about this disc of spun gold and I'm not alone. It seems every Barry, Rob, and Maurice in the blogosphere has been falling all over this record like autumn leaves in the rain. If you really want to know my take check out my real talk review of JP here, otherwise please do enjoy the album's opening track, "Night Faces" below.
BEST 2012 REISSUE: It's a tie between two (Numero related) comps: WTNG 89.9FM: Solid Bronze and & Personal Space: Electronic Soul 1974 - 1984. Both platters piled high with private press oddments and rarities one could hardly go more wrong than to miss out on these two exemplary feats of the compilation arts. The former being a point of revision for many in that it is essentially a mix of largely unheard "yacht rock"/AOR triumphs of seventies song-writing sensibilities (man, is it ever sensibly sensitive) that confronts one's moral definition of guilty (listening) pleasures. The latter comp, Personal Space - a seemingly dark horse among the usual reissue fare fleshing out the the soul comps shelf space, made the rounds among Amoeba staff regularly thus enjoyed a healthy amount of in-store play as well. Chock full of rhythm-box workouts a la Sly Stone, Timmy Thomas and Shuggie Otis, it's a far-out soul/funk excavation of the highest order. Both of these are solid front-to-back listens for the home vinyl library/curio corner.
If there's one thing an appreciation of music micro-genres has taught me it's this: work in a record store long enough and you'll eventually get into everything. Being predisposed to an appreciation of all things nautical by nature and developing a fondness for "theme" restaurants during my formative years it was only a matter of time before I would incur an full-on addiction to Exotica. At first I admit I mostly overlooked the jazz elements inherent to the genre, however pleasantly tropical, but obsession has a funny way of broadening ones taste for the far flung and curiously obscure. While I cannot trace my collection back to one single acquisition I can proclaim without a doubt that this squaw has stalked the warpath for Exotica, in all it's varied and as-yet-unconfirmed aspects, for quite some time. I'm so hot for it I'm on fire and, with that admonition out of the way, I'm pleased to report that a vinyl reissue of Eden Ahbez's seminal contribution to the genre, Eden's Island: The Music of an Enchanted Isle (out on Moi J'Connais/Black Sweat via Mississippi Records), is once again gracing the selections in Amoeba Music's Lounge section at long last!
A beach-bummin' beatnik guru by nature, Eden Ahbez was famous for three things: penning the pop/jazz standard "Nature Boy" (made famous by one Nat King Cole), looking a lot like Jesus (both on the original Eden's Island cover art, circa 1960 above on the left, as well as the updated screen-printed jacket housing the current reissue pictured above right), and thriving on a diet consisting of raw fruit and vegetables, living outdoors with his family beneath the first L of the Hollywood sign in the grassy Los Angeles wilderness. His music is a strange arrangement of piano, flute, and exotic percussion instruments fused with nature sounds (rolling surf, the creak of a wood-masted sailboat, squawking birds, breezy gusts of wind), and features a mixed chorus or Ahbez's own cheesy vocal musings, waxing poetic about a snake-chasing mongoose, living in an old shack by the sea, fires on the beach, and knowing "the thrill of loneliness" -- charming, to the last.
Eden Ahbez - "Full Moon"
What do you get when two nerds from the same record store meet regularly to discuss all manner of music, art and general enjoyment over rum flights and multiple cocktails at San Francisco's best stocked "tiki" lounge? Hmmm, somehow I can't rememeber...
Martin Denny & Si Zentner "Tiki" from Exotica Suite
...oh right, "Ports O' Call" --- three hours of uninterrupted Exotica mixed live on the wheels of steel as a part of Amoeba's weekly, in-house "Mandala" DJ series! DJ Martin Baxter Lyman (a.k.a. Amoeba jazz-man extraordinaire, Mr. Scott Walker) and DJ Long Gone Gamelan Gong (that's me!) will be exploring the experimental themes and concepts of Polynesian infused grooves from the founding fathers of Exotica and their Tiki temple grounds to popular Hapa Haole and Surf styles, with respect to native influences inherent to and modern music influenced by the genre. So if all sounds Exotica are your thing then this Friday, February 25th, from 6 to 9pm is the best time for you to come down to Amoeba Music in San Francisco to do a little vinyl treasure hunting while we mix up some island fever inducing south seas sonic realness. Requests welcome!

Although little Keegan is most excited about getting toys for Christmas he has one worry.
"What if I'm on the naughty list?"
He asked for an R/C camera airplane.
When asked what he plans to do to get back on the nice list Keegan said, "I'm going to listen to my mommy and daddy."
Keegan said he is thankful "that we have money and we are alive."
Kathy notes that Keegan has collected some money this year to give to the poor. She is very proud.
Keegan's younger brother Nolan is excited about a lot of things. "I can't wait for a week of no school, Santa, the Christmas tree, Celtics Christmas party and snow," he said.
Nolan said the best things in his life are "McDonald's, computers, TV, basketball, soccer, Gaelic, but not school."
Confident he has been good, Nolan said Santa will bring him a trike, a domino rally and a Kindle.
"On Christmas Eve, I won't get coal," he said.
The youngest of the three Hess boys, Brian, said, "I want Santa to come and bring presents right upstairs, that's what I am excited for, but if he puts them under the tree, that's okay too," Brian said.
Through all this excitement Brian can't remember what he asked Santa for. He looks forward to the surprise.
All three Hess boys promise to go to bed early on Christmas Eve.

With November balloting nearly in the books, the window has already opened for yet another election.
The filing period opened for candidates planning to run in Los Angeles' March 5 election.
In addition to citywide races for mayor, city controller and city attorney, voters will decide eight City Council district contests. Three Los Angeles Unified school board seats also will be on the ballot.
Mayor Antonio Villaragoisa will not run because of term limits, and several high-profile politicians already have declared their intention to succeed him. Council members Eric Garcetti and Jan Perry and Controller Wendy Greuel are in the running, along with former Assistant U.S. Attorney Kevin James and tech company executive Emmanuel Pleitez.
Controller candidates include Councilman Dennis Zine, marketing executive-turned-activist Cary Brazeman and Ron Galperin, president of the Quality and Productivity Commission and former chairman of the city's Commission on Revenue Efficiency.
City Attorney Carmen Trutanich will be challenged by termed-out Assemblyman Mike Feuer, D-Los Angeles, a former councilman who unsuccessfully ran for the position in 2001.
Among the open council positions is the Westside District 11 seat represented by Councilman Bill Rosendahl, who announced recently he would not run again and threw his support behind his chief deputy, Mike Bonin. Other contenders are Mark Ryavec, Frederick Sutton and Odysseus Bostick.
Voters also will elect representatives to three Los Angeles Unified school board seats, including one for Westside District 4, held by Steve Zimmer, and three at-large Los Angeles Community College District seats.
Those wanting to file papers declaring their candidacy must do so before noon Saturday. The deadline to file completed nominating petitions ends Dec. 5.

Purchased a 'ticket' to Kingshill Anderworld for 300 andermant, stuck my face in the door and promptly got it gnawed off, purchased a second ticket for 300 andermant and lost that ticket when running back out to regain health. I'm broke; the event is pretty much finished for me as it's far too expensive. Were you allowed to exit, then to re-enter without this 300 andermant charge each time, it'd be almost worth the grind hunting 300 more andermant or perhaps spending a few bucks to purchase them. This event was a bit different and looked exciting. sigh!

Shortcut Sourdough Starter
Makes 1 1/4 cups starter (enough for 1 recipe)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for feeding starter
- ¼ tsp. quick-rising yeast, such as Fleischmann's RapidRise
Enter your friends email address below and your name so they know who it's from
Makes 1 1/4 cups starter (enough for 1 recipe)
1. Combine flour and yeast in nonreactive bowl; stir in 1 cup warm (110°F) water. Cover bowl loosely, and set aside in temperate spot (72° to 74°F) 12 hours. Starter should get bubbly and smell yeasty.
2. Stir starter, then discard half. Stir 1/2 cup flour and 1/2 cup lukewarm water into starter. Cover. Feed starter in this manner, discarding half of starter, and stirring in 1/2 cup flour and 1/2 cup lukewarm water every 12 hours for 72 hours. Starter should be bubbly with pleasant sourdough aroma. (If aroma is faint or you want more pronounced sourdough flavor, feed starter another day to develop more flavor.)March 2011 p.55
So is the starter considered vegan?Beti - 2015-02-04 22:27:25
Sourdough starterEdward Clark - 2014-07-20 23:58:33
Being that I'm insanely frugal, I can't bear to toss some of the starter, even into the compost, but vegetarian time's recipe calls for 2.5 cups of it (for a double recipe) so I increase it by starting another bowl. I've found that it's pretty forgiving, and can be maintained by just adding a Tbs each of flour and water per week. Also I did go a period of about 3 months of doing nothing to it, and in this case it survived in the fridge. (Pour off the "hooch", the dark liquid on top.) It smelled horrible at first, like smelly feet, but looking on web, that is okay, and it soon smelled good again. I don't know why you are supposed to toss it, I wondered myself.Pinky - 2011-12-26 13:44:16
Why do we throw away half of starter. And at the end of the 72 hours do we keep it in the fridge, till we need it.I have never used a starter, and need knowledge. Thank youLaila Martinez - 2011-12-11 22:26:24
Can I use any kind of flour for a gluten free loaf?Patty Evans - 2012-02-01 09:03:40

Baseball Picks Up 7-1 Victory Over The Citadel
MT. PLEASANT, S.C. – Sophomore LHP Jake Zokan (Columbia, S.C.) pitched seven strong innings and the College of Charleston used three Citadel errors to defeat the Bulldogs 7-1 in non-conference action Tuesday evening at Patriots Point. The Cougars improve to 32-17, while The Citadel falls to 20-28.
The Citadel broke through first, scoring a single run in the third for a 1-0 lead. Josh Pless singled through the right side and advanced to third on a throwing error by redshirt-junior C Rob Kral (Randolph, N.J.) that sailed over the head of junior 1B Marty Gantt (N. Augusta, S.C.) and into right field. Pless would later score on a sacrifice fly to center by Nick Orvin.
Kral would make amends for the error in the fourth, knotting the score at 1-1 with a solo homer run to right-center, his eighth of the season. Charleston would take a 2-1 lead in the fifth as senior SS Jamie Holler (Rock Hill, S.C.) hit a two-out single to center and stole second. Gantt knocked a slow grounder to third and Bulldog 3B Drew DeKerlegand's throw to first was in the dirt and rolled into foul territory, allowing Holler to score for the 2-1 lead.
Charleston plated five runs in the eighth for a 7-1 lead and with all the runs coming with two outs in the inning. Redshirt-junior 3B Matt Leeds (Boca Raton, Fla.) walked to open the frame and stole second. After one out, Leeds advanced to third on a wild pitch by Citadel reliever TJ Clarkson and with two away, Leeds scored when redshirt-senior PH Ryan Daniels (Victoria, Texas) reached on a fielding error by Citadel 1B Justin Mackert. LHP David Leeth came on to pitch for the Bulldogs and senior CF Cole Rakar (Mt. Pleasant, S.C.) reached on a fielder's choice to short. An RBI single by junior 2B Rob Harding (Columbia, S.C.) plated another run before the two teams sat through a 38-minute lightning delay.
When play resumed, the Cougars' offense picked up where it left off. Holler ripped a two-run double to left and Gantt cleaned up the bases with a RBI double down the left-field line to close the scoring. Senior RHP Casey Lucchese (Lexington, S.C.), who entered the game in the eighth with the score 2-1, tossed a perfect ninth to finish the game and earn his third save of the season, allowing one hit over two innings with four strikeouts.
Zokan improved to 2-1 on the season, scattering five hits over the seven innings and striking out five. The southpaw allowed one run, an unearned run in the third. Holler collected three hits on the evening, with two RBIs and scoring twice.
Bryce Hines suffered the loss for The Citadel, falling to 4-4 despite recording nine strikeouts in five innings. Hines allowed two runs – one earned – on four hits and walked none.
Charleston returns to SoCon action this weekend as it hosts Appalachian State for a three-game series. Friday's first pitch is set for 6:00 p.m. and all three games can be heard on ESPN Radio 910-AM with Jeff McCarragher calling the play-by-play. The Cougars will host Wall of Fame Day on Saturday at 3:00 p.m. and honor their seniors on Senior Day before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. contest.

> What is difference between dhcp proxy and dhcp relay?
A relay (defined in the RFCs) listens to local broadcast (or
link-local multicast for DHCPv6) messages from clients, and forwards
these messages on another network towards a DHCP server. The server
responds, and the relay either keeps enough state or has added data to
the request such that it can forward the replies back to the client.
A proxy is a different beast. It doesn't just forward messages around
with some small alterations. Instead, it has a fully-functional DHCP
server and client built inside. The client side establishes leases
(likely with prefix delegations) from a server on one interface, and
then keeps these addresses in a pool. On another interface, the
server side of the implementation provides leases to other machines
using that pool.
(There are many variations on that theme. Some implementations have
no need of address leases, because the interface on which the system
behaves as a DHCP server has a dedicated, manually-configured address
pool, and the only thing the proxy does is get configuration
parameters from another upstream server.)

Hi Everyone,
This is the last page of Issue #3. I haven't got the script sorted for it yet. The formatting's a little complicated, so I've going to finish it over the weekend. To tell the truth I'm a little worried about this page going up online. Fingers crossed.
We'll be back next week with the behind the scenes page. After that we'll be going on hiatus until we get the next comic started. Jo and I sorted the plot last weekend so we know what we're doing. And the title will be 'Absent Friends'. Just need to get it written.
Have a great weekend,
31st July 2009
Hi Again!
I've just added the script for this page with the help of the Webguy. It was quite difficult to sort but we managed it. Also I'm adding in this extra bit because I totally forgot to do the blurbs last week. I've been working on the bonus page. It's a bit of a problem fitting the 15 panels I wanted in it, so I've pared it down to 11, which is the same as last issue. I'm glad it's done; now I can get on with the hard copy. Then I can start writing the next issue.
There's stuff I should say. The comment about 'Hidden Truth Magazine' on this page is a reference to The Pure and Hidden Truth. Also Scott McCloud linked to Dark Red. How cool is that? Here's the link to his blog entry. It's worth checking his work out if you want to know more about comics as a medium. I've got 'Understanding Comics' myself.
I'm looking forward to putting up the behind the scenes page next week.
Have a great weekend,

Last week we worked hard on identifying past experiences and how they affect us as adults. This week we're focusing on the present. For those of us who have low self-esteem, living in the here and now sometimes isn't the greatest place to be. If we're not suffering from ghosts of the past then we're busy counting on our future to make us happy. Our self esteem is heavily based on our ability to accept ourselves right now. How many of us actually cherish the moment we're in?
Have you ever related to any of these questions?
I'll go to the beach when I lose another 15 pounds.
I'm going to put off having family photos until I'm happier with the way I look.
I won't be happy until I get to my goal weight.
When I feel better about my body/self, I'll have the courage to do all the things I'm too self-conscious to do right now.
And it doesn't stop with just our weight or our looks. We put off doing many things in our lives because of one thing: FEAR. We procrastinate because we're afraid that we are not yet good enough right now.
Here is an excerpt from the book, It's All in Your Head by Stephen M. Pollan and Mark Levine: By spending our lives planning and hoping and dreaming, we lose sight of what our life is today. We give up an opportunity for happiness today by focusing on tomorrow.
The book goes on to say that we shouldn't look at the present as a brief moment between the past and the future, but rather as an experience – a state of mind. If we remain trapped by our fear, if we keep waiting for future events to make us happy, then we'll always be hoping and never really living. Life shouldn't be something to be endured until the future arrives. Your present should be thrilling, exhilarating, and inspiring.
Exercise for the week: Do this at some point before Thursday so you can write about the experience.
Think about the answers to these esteem-deflating questions. How often do you carry these thought around with you on a daily basis?
My life would be so much better if I were only:
I'd be so much happier if I had a better:
I wish I weighed:
When I look in the mirror, the first thing I criticize about myself is my:
The one negative word that I use about myself over and over again is:
Now, answer these questions so that they can be seen by everyone reading your update:
I often receive the most compliments on my______________________.
What I admire most about myself when I look at my reflection is________________________.
I take pride in my__________________________.
I love the fact that I can________________________________.
My greatest quality is________________________.
Study your answers for as long as you feel comfortable. Now, take a mini-vacation from your current self. Set a timer if you have to. Spend at least 10 minutes going about your life believing that you are perfect exactly as you are right at this moment. Forget about your job. Forget about your husband. Forget about your wife; your children. Allow thoughts of your relationships, the kind of car you drive, the clothes you wear and the unfinished items on your 'to-do' list temporarily slip from your mind. Just for now, be present; be aware in these few moments of what it feels like to be the 'perfect' you that you keep longing for.
If you find negative and/or unpleasant thoughts drifting into your mind during this time, acknowledge the thoughts but allow them to pass by like clouds in the sky and then focus on the answers to the above questions. Continue on with your exercise until your time is up. Notice how it felt in those moments, knowing that you were enough; also notice the control you had over these thoughts.
Were you able to do the exercise for the given amount of time? If not, were you able to redirect your thoughts back to the present?
Did it feel any different knowing that you weren't relying on outside sources to challenge your beliefs – that you trusted yourself to be content with the things you knew to be true about yourself?
Finally, discuss how things are coming along with the Positive Reinforcement Sheet. You will be almost half-way through the Challenge by Thursday. Where are you still struggling? Where are you succeeding?
Thought for the Day: I am choosing to live my life now. In the moment. The future will always be just out of reach.
Quotes of the Week:
The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.
~Carl Rogers
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?
~Marianne Williamson
Don't be afraid that your life will end. Be afraid that it will never begin.
~Grace Hansen
See you back here on Thursday for Group Therapy. Have a good Monday, everyone.

I don't see the actual problem yet. One of the main points of
using make is to avoid recompiling etc. stuff that already has
been compiled. And thus getting a "Nothing to be done for `all'."
message is just make's way of telling you that everything is
fine. When you write that e.g. 'myso.so' gets re-made once you
deleted the file (or moved it somewhere else) that looks like
the correct behaviour of make - the 'myso.so' file was already
up to date, so there was nothing to be done, but when you
removed it make noticed that it's not there anymore and re-
created it.
Now, if make doesn't compile stuff even though you know that you
made changed that require a re-compile than you have a broken
Makefile (i.e. the dependencies aren't set up correctly). If
that's the case you need to post a lot more of details about
your project and the Makefile you're using.

Eli Lilly and PrimeraDx inked a collaboration centered on the development of companion diagnostics for multiple therapeutics in the Lilly pipeline. The collaboration initially aims to develop multiplex assays using PrimeraDx's ICEPlex® for applications in oncology, although the R&D will be relevant across multiple therapeutic areas.
PrimeraDx says the agreement represents a major validation of its technology for the development of complex diagnostic tests. "We have great expectations of our collaboration with PrimeraDx," adds Andrew Schade, M.D., senior director of Lilly's clinical diagnostics laboratory. "The unique ability of the ICEPlex system to combine multiple DNA and RNA biomarkers into a single multiplex assay could prove invaluable in our drive to develop companion diagnostics for crucial assets in our clinical pipeline."
Designed for clinical labs, the ICEPlex platform combines PCR with capillary electrophoresis in a single benchtop system that allows the design and execution of multiplex, quantitative diagnostic assays that can effectively measure up to 60 disparate types of analyte in a single sample. The firm aims to market the technology to clinical laboratories as an open platform, and also collaborate with pharmaceutical companies on the development of companion diagnostics.
The ICEPlex platform is built around PrimeraDx' STAR technology, which provides the ability to electrokinetically inject molecules from PCR into the capillaries and run electrophoresis in real-time, enabling multimodal assays or mixed target type reactions for SNPs, expression biomarkers, miRNAs, or fusion genes.
PrimeraDx currently has a pipeline of assay kits and aims to develop a broad range of applications for oncology, infectious disease, companion diagnostics, and multiple nonclinical molecular markets, both through its own efforts and in collaboration with partners.

FARMINGTON -- With a chance at redemption, the Perryville Lady Pirates brought everything they could at the Sikeston Lady Bulldogs on Wednesday night but somehow, the Lady Bulldogs withstood the storm.
"Perryville came out fired up," Sikeston head coach Derrick Long added. "They came out with a lot more intensity than we did. We couldn't match it in the first half.
"We got lucky that we escaped without them scoring that half."
After dodging the Lady Pirates in the first 40 minutes, Sikeston punched in two goals in the first 10 minutes of the second half which led to a 2-1 Class 2, District 1 tournament win at Farmington.
Sikeston (15-7) defeated the Lady Pirates earlier this season after Perryville squandered an early 2-0 lead with four straight goals in the second half.
With the ball spending most of it's time in Sikeston's field on Wednesday, the Lady Pirates tried mightily to gain the early advantage. They won almost every 50/50 possession and beat the Lady Bulldogs to virtually every ball.
"They wanted it more than we did in the first half," Sikeston senior Emily Eaves said. "They're a good team. They came out real aggressive."
However, the Lady Bulldog defense held strong. Sikeston goalie Asia Liggins did her part by scooping up shots while defenders such as Abby Harper, Kelsey Jenkins, as well as many others, cleared balls and kept the charging Lady Pirates at bay.
"It's all about our mentality," Eaves said. "If we get it in our heads that we can win we can beat anybody."
The initial shock of Perryville's first half aggressiveness eventually wore down. And it didn't take long for the Lady Bulldogs to take advantage.
Freshman Madison Chaney scored Sikeston's first goal at the 42nd minute mark on a corner kick from Kristin King. The kick sailed just in front of the goal and began bouncing back and forth between Sikeston and Perryville players. Kelley got the first good shot on it but was blocked. Chaney, then came swooping in and gave a delicate kick right past Perryville's goal keeper for the 1-0 advantage.
"Sometimes you don't have to kick it hard to get it in," Long said. "She was in the right place and just put a nice touch on it past the keeper."
Riding the momentum of Chaney's goal, a short seven minutes ticked off the clock until the Lady Bulldogs scored their second and final goal of the night. Keyonna Blissett put in the eventual game-winner with a shot that sailed just over the Lady Pirates' keeper at the 49-minute mark.
"That was a big heads up for us," Blissett said about Chaney's goal. "It kind of helped us all with motivation. (My goal) was pretty much a desperate need for a goal."
"It was nice for Madison to get that first goal," Long added. "We had a few chances at it. And then, that second goal was big. It was a good shot by Keyonna from the outside. We've been working with her to shoot from a little further out and it was nice that it finally paid off."
Perryville answered with a goal at the 55-minute mark with a bloop kick that just snuck up and over the reaching arms of Liggins to make it 2-1 with just over 24 minutes remaining.
With time dwindling down and nothing to lose, Perryville once again became the aggressor and frantically tried to punch in the tying goal. The Lady Bulldog defense, again, held their ground.
"Just don't let them score," Eaves said about the final minutes. "We just wanted to clear the ball up the field, get it out and try to get another one.
"We don't want it back in our kitchen. We want to push it up as far as we can."
"We started retreating in our goalies area and they pushed everyone up," Long said about Perryville's final push. "They didn't have anything to lose so they brought everything but the kitchen sink at us."
The No. 2 seeded Lady Bulldogs prevailed the Lady Pirates final attempts and will now face a familiar foe in the district championship game; the Notre Dame Lady Bulldogs.
"They're still the favorite," Long said about the No. 1 seed. "They're the one seed and they've been the one seed for the last six or seven years. They're still the team that everyone wants to try and knock off.
"It's going to be a big challenge for us."
The Lady Bulldogs of Sikeston defeated Notre Dame for just the second time since 2002 earlier this season. Sikeston has also lost to Notre Dame as well.
"It's possible," Blissett said. "But, you don't go in already thinking you have the game. You just go and play your hardest."
"We know that we can beat them," added Eaves. "We've came this far and we're not going to back down. We've got a day to regroup.
"I think we can do it -- I know we can do it."
The Class 2, District 1 championship game will be played on Friday at 6 p.m. in Farmington.

DAY 4: Five Creative Reuse Ideas for Plastic Produce Bags
In Bulk Buying 101, we warned you not to toss the plastic produce bags you may have used to transport your bulk buys home. As promised, we've got five wise ways to reuse 'em.
As for how to keep them clean, organic foods chef Ani Phyo suggests rinsing them with water and hanging them out to dry over a big bottle of Dr. Bronner's soap, a bottle of wine, or the faucet.
1. Take 'em to the Farmers' Market
Next time you head out to the farmers' market, Phyo suggests bringing your plastic produce bags along. We find they're particularly useful for safe-keeping delicate produce such as berries, tomatoes, and herbs. There's nothing sadder than arriving home from the farmers' market only to find that the perfectly plump raspberries you scored have turned into raspberry jam in the bottom of your tote. To prevent this small tragedy, slip a plastic bag over your berry baskets, blow a little air in the bag, and tie a knot at the end.
2. Reuse 'em as Shoe Bags
What's almost as irritating as squishy produce in the bottom of your farmers' market tote? Shoe schmutz on your vacation-wear. The solution? Phyo suggests reusing plastic bags for shoes the next time you're packing for a trip. Who knew recycling could be so in-fashion?
3. Keep Plated Food Fresh
If you view packing up leftovers as a chore, this tip's for you. Phyo recommends using plastic bags to cover leftovers on a plate before stashing them in the fridge. Why dirty Tupperware and yet another plate when you enjoy your leftovers later?
Planning a dinner party? You can also use your plastic bags to keep the fridge smell out of plated dishes that you plan to serve later. Less fuss, more flavor.
4. Store Fresh Herbs
As we learned in yesterday's video, Spork Foods sisters Heather Goldberg and Jenny Engel reuse plastic bags to store fresh herbs in the fridge. First, put your bouquet of herbs (such as basil, parsley, cilantro, or mint) in a cup with water as you would flowers in a vase. Then, use a plastic bag to cover the herbs. Next, give the tail of the bag a little twist, tucking it in so that's it tight, and put the arrangement in the fridge. This will help keep herbs fresh in the fridge for about a week.
5. Reuse 'em as Doggie & Kitty Poop Bags
OK—this is the least appetizing one, but you'll never have to purchase pet poop bags again. Enough said.
Today's discussion question: In addition to the ideas here, how do you reuse your plastic produce bags? Share below!
I always use them as dog & kitty poop bags for my 2 dogs and 1 cat, mostly for the puppies when I take them for walks.Caroline Shepard - 2015-10-25 19:38:35
I use them as poop bags when I walk my yellow lab. They work great! The plastic bags from the supermarket always have holes in them but the produce and bulk bin bags never do.April - 2012-11-05 19:01:56
The really obvious: take them back to the store and re-use for produce bags. No need to get new ones every time. I just put them back in my reusable grocery totes so I always have a supply with me.Laura - 2012-10-17 19:57:13
#5 is exactly what I do! My family and friends save ALL their plastic bags for me and I gratefully use them when I clean my boy's litter box!!!Sonnett - 2012-10-17 18:31:17

Distributed File System
I must not post here enough, as it seems they removed my account, so excuse the fact that it says its my first post.
Moving right along, I was wondering if anyone here had a comment on Microsofts distributed file system?
We are in a position where we store mass qtys of data, so we are looking into a new 1.5TB file server which should be good for some time to come, however I also want to plan for scalability as well.
One of my thoughts was to implement the 1.5TB server, then implement additional server in the future and create a centralized file system using MS Dfs.
Im sure there are many other ways and technologies that Im not very familiar with that would suite this just as well.
Anyone care to offer a comment or suggestion?

Mogile requires custom coding and Linux, either of which may be a problem in this case. That brings up the critical issue here.
You can't take an individual clustering component, like shared files or load balancing, bolt it on an existing system, and call it a cluster. Programs like to assume they're running one time on one system. They tend to break, corrupt, and explode in unexpected and difficult to debug ways when you break that assumption.
