MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The spotlight was on outstanding pupil transportation professionals on Sunday evening at NAPT's revamped awards banquet.
The goal, officials said, was to emphasize the importance of honoring the industry's achievements — and to add a touch of glamour to the ceremony.
"We are a group that does great work and doesn't like to get out and say, 'Look at what we did,' — but we need to," Theresa Anderson, co-chair of the awards program along with Launi Schmutz, told SBF. "These are very important awards."
The result of the revamping was a red-carpet, semi-formal affair with dinner and musical accompaniment.
In past years, an additional awards program was held on the morning after the evening program. NAPT Executive Director Mike Martin said that the association decided to combine those two events, so all of the awards were given out during the evening ceremony.
"The fundamental concept is to celebrate and recognize the people who are really the stars of the event: the award winners themselves," Martin said.
Here are the honorees:
• Larson Quality Award — Dysart Unified School District, Surprise, Ariz.
• Heroism Award (sponsored by Blue Bird) — Cathy Snow, Elk Grove (Calif.) Unified School District
• Continuing Education Award (sponsored by Thomas Built Buses) — Heather Handschin, Spotsylvania County (Va.) Schools
• Driver Training and Safety Award (sponsored by IC Bus) — Steve Simmons, Columbus (Ohio) City Schools
• Special Needs Transportation Award (sponsored by Sure-Lok) — Victoria Creech, Orange County Public Schools, Orlando, Fla.
• SBF's Administrator of the Year — David Anderson, Adams 12 Five Star Schools, Thornton, Colo.
• America's Best School Bus Technician — Alan Fidler, Tippecanoe School Corp., Lafayette, Ind.

The days of relatively stable tax rates are over in Randall County, and the consequences of that bygone era might cause some pain during the budget sessions of the next three weeks.
The proposed $19.3 million budget county commissioners will consider already has an 8 percent tax-rate increase, over the effective tax rate, built in, County Judge Ted Wood said. Still, there is a $2.8 million deficit to be dealt with.
"I think we're going to have to bite the bullet," Commissioner Bob Karrh said. "I really think prior commissioners' courts haven't had the guts to raise the taxes annually by small amounts like 3 percent like they should have. We need to either do it or suffer the consequences."
While constructing the proposed budget in June, Wood figured in a 12 percent tax increase, took $800,000 out of county reserves and cut $800,000 out of requests from department heads. County Auditor Joella McPherson, however, used an 8 percent increase for the proposed budget commissioners will be working on.
Anything higher than 8 percent would allow for a petition for a rollback election to be circulated.
Also, new calculations reduced income for this year by about $600,000, since Wood figured the proposed budget, and by the same amount projected for next year. That wiped out some of the savings he was able to make.
"There are three ways to make the budget better - raise the rate by 12 percent, cut more from department requests and take more from the fund balance," Wood said.
The prospects don't excite some of the commissioners.
"If anyone thought last year's budget was difficult, it fades in comparison to this one," Commissioner Craig Gualtiere said. "When you have those kinds of shortfalls in revenue, it makes it difficult, and when you cut things from the budget, the need for them doesn't go away."
In the past, commissioners have approved budgets that have had a deficit with expectations expenses would decrease during the year, or more revenue than expected would come in, Wood said. This year will probably end otherwise.
According to documents from the auditor, this fiscal year is projected to end with an approximate $2 million deficit, due to increased costs and less non-tax revenue from fines and fees than expected.
"We recommend that this Commissioners' Court adopt a balanced budget that is balanced on paper. We also recommend maintaining a budgeted 25 percent fund balance" surplus, the auditor's documents stated.
That 25 percent surplus covers costs from the start of the fiscal year, Oct. 1, until most tax payments start to arrive in January, McPherson said. It also provides emergency funds for years like this one in which costs outstrip revenue.
Karrh said he wanted to use a balanced budget as a goal, as did Gualtiere. However, Wood was less than optimistic.
"I don't think that could possibly be done. It's not feasible to raise it (the tax rate) another 28 percent to cancel the $2.8 million deficit we face," Wood said. "And the easiest cuts have already been made."

Sarah's Best Chili Recipe
Total Time
Prep 20 mins
Cook 6 hrs
This recipe has more flavor than I thought it would, and it's meant to be devoured. I've been creating recipes left and right for the crockpot, and found a winner for the chili department. When browning the meat, make sure it's barely brown so it doesn't turn to cardboard tasting when it's done in the crockpot. Drain cans of beans for a thicker chili.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 lbs ground round
- 4 (16 ounce) cans kidney beans, undrained
- 1 (16 ounce) candiced canned tomatoes, undrained (one can)
- 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
- 2 onions, chopped (I used white, and didn't quite put in all of it)
- 1 green bell pepper, chopped
- 6 garlic cloves, minced (we LOVE garlic)
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons pepper
- 1⁄4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- shredded cheddar cheese
- Cook ground beef in a skillet until browned; drain off fat (I didn't drain off all of the fat).
- Pour into a slow cooker.
- Add the rest of the ingredients except shredded cheese.
- Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours.
- Serve with diced onions, shredded cheese and fritos. Enjoy!

A good basic chili. I did like cooking it in the slow cooker, while I had the stove tied up. Fixed just as directed. I will probably make some adjustments next time I fix it. (Just personal preferences.) Thnx for sharing your recipe, sarahcis. Made for PAC Spring 2010. You've been adopted! http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewtopic.zsp?t=327498&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
This was good and easy to make. I did change up the recipe a bit. I only used 3 cans of beans and I used 1 can of black, 1 can of white beans and 1 can of kidney beans (personal preference). I also used crushed tomatoes instead of diced. I also added a 15 ounce can of tomato sauce because even with only using three cans of beans it didn't seem like there was enough sauce. I also only used two garlic cloves and 1 teaspoon each of salt and pepper as I thought 2 teaspoons was way too much for us. I also didn't add the cayenne pepper. Even with reducing the spices, I thought this was really spicy. I did top our servings with cheddar cheese. We enjoyed this but next time, I would reduce the pepper to 1/2 or 1/4 of a teaspoon.
This chili was delicious! It was wonderful to have it in the crock pot during the Vikings game so the guys could grab a bowl during commercials. I got nothing but compliments on how good the chili was! I made exactly as directed, and served with sour cream, cheddar cheese, chopped green onions and corn chips. I will make this chili again - and I wouldn't change a thing. Thanks for sharing this wonderful crockpot chili recipe! I have posted a picture of the chili still in the crock pot. I made this for The New Kids on the Block Tag Game 1/4/09.

Take Every Deduction
Every possible tax deduction can help when your money is tight. Yet many available legal deductions go unclaimed each year simply because most taxpayers still don't know the breaks exist. From eyeglasses to airline baggage fees, you might qualify for at least one often-forgotten deduction – and maybe more than one.

Look at Jimmy over there getting a 'tribal' arm band tattoo, putting a Harley Davidson sticker on his Escalade running chrome spinnin 24's while wearing his West Coast Chopper T-shirt, side turned baseball cap, baggy pants and ape hanging his arm out the window, gangsta style, while he's driving.

A World Overflowing with Debt
Step Aside from US Centric. Eurocentric and Step into Global Debt. 2007 revisited That's the warning today from McKinsey & Co.'s research division which estimates that since 2007, the IOUs of governments, companies, households and financial firms in 47 countries has grown by $57 trillion to $199 trillion, a rise equivalent to 17 percentage points of gross domestic product. While not as big a gain as the 23 point surge in debt witnessed in the seven years before the financial crisis, the new data make a mockery of the hope that the turmoil and subsequent global recession would put the globe on a more sustainable path. This is not new but it is troublesome--particularly the concern that neither austerity nor growth will solve this.

Student loans suck. What more needs to be said?
Ted Rall says that college loans are killing America. I'm inclined to agree. At just $14,736, I'm on the lighter-side of college loan debt, but being a single father, I have a hard time making a dent. Ted makes some salient points about young adults who are struggling to make money in a recession. They don't work for the Peace Corps, they don't volunteer, etc. Even China criticizes America on our insistence that students endebt themselves to corporations just for education.(via fark)
The House has passed the bankruptcy reform bill
The House has passed the bankruptcy reform bill that Clinton vetoed at the end of the last session. I'm mildly optimistic that it won't pass the Senate, given that the Democratic vote in the House was split. But should we be worried at all? At first glance, it doesn't seem like a bad idea. But so many consumer groups are against it, and it seems to benefit credit card companies while hurting individuals, so I'm inclined to think we should leave things as-is. Especially since personal bankruptcies are down and credit card issuers' profits are up. Anyone know more about this?

Every fan has some sort of fetish where they must compare players both past and present. It doesn't matter if one guy played in the '70s and the other in present day.
Why? Because it's fun.
I hate comparing two players within team sports. There are so many variables, so much circumstantial evidence. It truly is an impossible feat.
However, I am going to take a leap and attempt to compare one facet of an NBA player. Versatility.

The Albany Dougherty Planning Commission has approved the rezoning application for land on Gillionville Road with a 6-2 vote.
A Family Dollar store will be built on a portion if the land if the rezoning application is approved by the Dougherty County Commission in a final vote.
Lindsey Powell owns property behind the proposed location. He says the discount chain will bring trash, high traffic and noise pollution to the neighborhood.
Sanford Hillsman voted for the rezoning under the condition that the is a 40 to 50 feet buffer between the store and Lindsey Powell's home.

The clinical features of pemphigus vulgaris (PV) are related to the presence and profile of antidesmoglein 3 (anti-dsg3) and antidesmoglein 1 (anti-dsg1) antibodies.1 Anti-dsg3 is associated with mucosal PV; the concurrent presence of anti-dsg3 and anti-dsg1, with mucocutaneous disease; and anti-dsg1 alone, with pemphigus foliaceus (PF). Shifts over time in the pattern of anti-dsg antibodies from that associated with PV to that seen in PF have been described in several case reports.2- 10 How often these serologic shifts occur is unknown. The present study was conducted to examine the frequency and the types of shifts in the profile of anti-dsg3 and anti-dsg1 that occur in patients with PV.
Thirty-seven sequential patients with PV who satisfied the following criteria were studied: (1) PV diagnosis based on clinical, histologic, and immunologic criteria; (2) intercellular antibodies at baseline assayed by indirect immunofluorescence; (3) at least 2 serum specimens collected at different times during the course of illness; and (4) disease active at both measurement times as evidenced by persisting skin and/or oral lesions. The median interval between the sampling of specimens was 26 months (range, 2-124 months). Anti-dsg1 and anti-dsg3 antibodies were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay using a commercially available kit (Medical & Biological Laboratories Co Ltd, Nagona, Japan). The cutoff for calling serum results positive was that recommended by the manufacturer: 20 U or higher.11
At baseline, 97% of patients (36 of 37) had anti-dsg3, and 59% (22 of 37) had anti-dsg1 antibodies (Table). There was no difference in antibody profile in 60% of patients (22 of 37) between the baseline and end point. In this group, 13 patients had only anti-dsg3 antibodies and 9 had both anti-dsg3 and anti-dsg1 antibodies at both measurement points.
In 41% of patients (15 of 37), a shift occurred in anti-dsg antibody profile over time. The changes varied (Table). Of the 21 patients initially testing positive for both antibodies, 9 had no change in profile, 6 ultimately showed anti-dsg1–negative results, 3 ultimately showed anti-dsg3–negative results, and 3 ultimately tested negative for both antibodies. In 15 patients initially testing positive for anti-dsg3 and negative for anti-dsg1 antibodies, 13 had no change in profile, and 2 ultimately showed anti-dsg1–positive results. No patients showed anti-dsg3–negative results. One patient had only anti-dsg1 antibodies at baseline and tested positive for both antibodies at the final measurement. The reason for these changes was not determined, but possibilities include antigenic drift and changes in the course of the disease (eg, relapse vs continuous disease activity).
At baseline, there was a good correlation between the profile of both anti-dsg3 and anti-dsg1 antibodies with the phenotype of PV: the presence of both antibodies was associated with mucocutaneous disease. The presence of only anti-dsg3 was associated with mucosal disease. In the 22 patients whose antibody profile did not shift, the PV phenotype also did not change. By contrast, in the 15 patients whose anti-dsg profile changed over time, the phenotype also changed in 73% of the patients (11 of 15). However, the changes were not consistent. Among the 6 patients initially testing positive for both antibodies and whose profile then shifted to anti-dsg1 negative, 2 still retained mucocutaneous disease instead of developing only mucosal disease. Both patients initially testing positive for anti-dsg3 and negative for anti-dsg1 whose profile then became positive for both antibodies developed skin lesions but lost their prior oral lesions. The phenotype of the 1 patient whose profile shifted from only anti-dsg1 antibodies to both antibodies shifted from mucocutaneous disease to having only skin lesions. The cause for the lack of correlation between changes in anti-dsg profile and the phenotype of PV is not known. One possible explanation might be intramolecular epitope shifts that are known to occur in patients with PV and PF12,13 and that could result in the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay detecting antibodies to desmoglein epitopes that are not pathogenic.
Shifts over time in the anti-dsg3 and anti-dsg1 antibody profile occur frequently in patients with PV, rather than being exceptional events. A variety of changes can occur. The absence of a consistent relation between changes in anti-dsg profile and changes in PV phenotype indicates that factors in addition to the anti-dsg profile play a role in the clinical manifestations of PV.

Devoted PC gamers have apparently uncovered how to unlock a variety of graphics options in the new shooter Crysis 2. This arrived as good news to all those PC players who were frustrated with the game's restricted graphics options.
What you have to do in the PC version of Crysis 2 is bring up the console (using the "~" key) in order to gain access to over 47 graphic and gameplay tweaks. This was spotted on a Steam forum thread. It's possible to tweak a variety of effects, including field of view, motion blur and so on.
A lot of people were pissed off because of this and it's understandable really, since PC users were always given a wide range of graphics options to fiddle around with for optimal performance or indeed to push the limits of their system if they so desire. Well, it's comforting to know that it's possible at least.
Hm, this does remind us a bit of the time when the Crysis PC demo came out and all that DX10-exclusive bullshit was thrown about, until everyone figured out (well, un om bun did :)) that it's possible to edit the game's .cfg and .ini files thus adding a variety of visual effects that were otherwise locked in the game.

It should be lost on NO one how incredibly diverse and divisive the news coverage of events in DC on 8/28 has been; the white guys are talking about God and Country while the black guys are threatening to beat them up over it as they express their intolerance for insufficient levels of freebies and shout out their demands for even more nannyism from the State. And, of course, those who dare disagree with them are racists and bigots. [Full disclosure-I'm a white guy AND a Christian which, I guess, makes me a racist and a bigot.]
It's sad, really, and especially ironic that we find ourselves engaging in a national debate over Dr. King's speech where a few thousand African Americans used their podium to rail against how far they still have to go to achieve King's dream while a hundred times that many Americans cried out for going back to that place from whence King came as he pursued his dream; God.
The fact that Sharpton, like King, is a Reverand would lead most of us to expect invocations of God and our greater purpose in pursuing Him in our daily lives and our struggle for equality. King mentioned God four times in his I have a Dream speech, and Beck mentioned God twice in the first 5 minutes of his own "Restoring Honor" speech at the Lincoln Memorial...a few steps and 47 years away. Sharpton mentioned God not once in his own speech, choosing instead to refer to "us" and "them" and "we" and "they" on multiple occasions while simultaneously calling for unity:
Whichever of these two approaches one chooses to adopt, "Restoring Honor" or deepening the American divide because "the Dream has not been achieved" depends on one's point of view. Move forward, inspired by hope that is derived from what has already been accomplished, or stand still...fists clenched...trapped by what hasn't.

On Sept. 19, the Philadelphia Athletics, a onetime baseball dynasty whose popularity had been so great that spectators often filled adjacent rooftops, concluded their 1954 home schedule in front of 1,715 fans at wet and dreary Connie Mack Stadium.
The 4-2 loss to the Yankees was the A's 99th of the season. They were 59 games behind league-leading Cleveland, with six meaningless road contests left. Their final home attendance totaled 305,362, an embarrassing number that nonetheless surpassed their payroll.
As the beaten A's trudged off the muddy field that afternoon, they didn't yet know that after 54 seasons, nine pennants, and five world championships, they had played their final game in Philadelphia.

Dr Lindsey MooreSenior Lecturer
Current Teaching
2014-15: ENGL 308 Contemporary Literature and ENGL 421 (MA) Postcolonial Women's Writing.
I have also taught on: ENGL 201: Theory and Practice of Criticism; ENGL 302: Women's Writing; ENGL 352: African Literature; ENGL 369 Twentieth-Century Indian Novel in English; ENGL 304 American Literature from 1900.
Research Interests
My primary research area is creative work - particularly literature - from the Middle East (mostly the Arab world, including North Africa). I'm also very interested in the relationship between the Arab world and postcolonial studies: I'm currently working on a monograph entitled Postcolonial Thought and the Arab World: Literary and Theoretical Contexts, contracted to Routledge, which will have chapters on Morocco, Algeria, Egypt, Lebanon and Palestine. Islamism and Cultural Expression in the Arab World, co-edited with Abir Hamdar, is in press (Routledge, 2015). My first book, Arab, Muslim, Woman: Voice and Vision in Postcolonial Literature and Film (Routledge, 2008) is an interdisciplinary examination of a range of Arab women's postcolonial fiction, autobiography, film and other visual media. My chapter on Zineb Sedira in Contemporary Art in the Middle East, ed. Paul Sloman (London: Black Dog Press, 2009), was positively reviewed in the Guardian Review in October 2009. Some of my first published articles were on Iranian cinema.
My secondary research area is South Asian (particularly Indian and Pakistani) and South Asian diaspora literature, with a particular emphasis on connections between South Asia and the Arab world in women's writing. A chapter on these connections can be found in eds. Claire Chambers and Caroline Herbert, Imagining Muslims in South Asia and the Diaspora (Routledge, 2014).
I have wider interests in postcolonial and diaspora literatures. I edited a symposium on 'Glocal Diasporas' for the Journal of Commonwealth Literature (2010) and a special issue of Postcolonial Text (2011) entitled 'Glocal Imaginaries'. I have also published on expatriate American writer Paul Bowles and his collaborations with Moroccan storytellers and writers.
I was the Principal Investigator of the AHRC-funded project 'Islamism in Arab Fiction and Film, 1947 to the Present' (with Dr Arthur Bradley and Dr Abir Hamdar), Feb. 2009 - Feb. 2010. Please see our website at http://www.lancs.ac.uk/fass/projects/islamism/index.htm. The major output of this project is Islamism and Cultural Expression in the Arab World (see above).
I am on the steering group of the Centre for Transcultural Writing and Research and a co-organiser of Trans-Scriptions, a series that brings together creative writers, publishers and academics to discuss interfaces between 'Writing, Culture and Location'. Please see www.transculturalwriting.com
Research Overview
My main research interest is in the postcolonial Arab world. My first monograph focused particularly on gender representation in this context. I am currently writing a monograph entitled Postcolonial Thought: Arab Literary and Theoretical Contexts and have co-edited Islamism and Cultural Expression in the Arab World (in press), which grows out of a collaborative AHRC/ESRC-funded project. I have further interests on connections between Arab and South Asian women's writing. I have supervisory and teaching interests in Arab and South Asian fiction and in postcolonial studies more broadly.
PhD Supervision Interests
I am interested in supervising high quality projects on Arab and South Asian literatures in English, French or translation, particularly under the umbrella of postcolonial or world literature studies. I am particularly keen to receive PhD proposals on (any kind of) Palestinian writing.

No. 6 Virginia beats No. 7 Duke for first ACC title since 1976
GREENSBORO, N.C. -- Malcolm Brogdon scored 23 points and No. 6 Virginia claimed its first Atlantic Coast Conference tournament title since 1976 by beating No. 7 Duke 72-63 on Sunday.
Tournament MVP Joe Harris added 15 points and hit the backbreaking 3-pointer with just under 2 minutes remaining for the top-seeded Cavaliers (28-6).
Jabari Parker scored 23 points on 9-of-24 shooting for the third-seeded Blue Devils (26-8).
After the game, Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said the technical foul called after he threw a pen at the floor was "absolutely ridiculous" and "shameful."
The call came with 2 minutes, 7 seconds left in the first half.
As the huddle broke, Krzyzewski flung a pen that bounced off the floor and into associate head coach Steve Wojciechowski's leg.
Afterward Krzyzewski said he had "no clue" why there was a technical and said he wasn't reacting to anything on the court.
- No. 1 Florida 61, Kentucky 60: At Atlanta, top-ranked Florida capped a perfect run through the Southeastern Conference when Kentucky failed to get off a shot on its final possession, allowing the Gators to escape in the league championship game.
Florida (32-2) built a 16-point lead early in the second half, but Kentucky nearly pulled off an improbable comeback to hand the Gators their first loss since early December.
Two missed free throws gave the Wildcats (24-10) a final possession, but James Young slipped trying to drive into the lane.
The Gators extended their school-record winning streak to 26 games.
- No. 22 Michigan St. 69, No. 8 Michigan 55: At Indianapolis, Adreian Payne scored 18 points and Gary Harris and Branden Dawson added 15 each to lead Michigan State to its second Big Ten tournament title in three years.
The third-seeded Spartans (26-8) are getting healthy and will have some momentum entering the NCAA tournament with four wins in five games.
Top-seeded Michigan (25-8) was led by Big Ten player of the year Nik Stauskas with 17 points and Derrick Walton Jr. had 11, but the Big Ten regular-season champs had their seven-game winning streak come to an end.
- Saint Joseph's 65, No. 23 VCU 61: At New York, Langston Galloway scored 19 points and hit yet another huge 3-pointer as Saint Joseph's (24-9) won its first Atlantic 10 tournament title since 1997.
The second-seeded Rams (26-8) have reached the A-10 tourney finals in both years in the league but lost both times.
- Florida Gulf Coast 72, Stetson 70, OT: At Fort Myers, Fla., Jenna Cobb scored 19 points, Kaneisha Atwater added 14 points and 11 rebounds, and top-seeded Florida Gulf Coast withstood two late rallies for the Atlantic Sun Conference title and a berth into the NCAA tournament.
General McLane graduate Sarah Hansen scored 13 for the top-seeded Eagles (26-7), who were down nine early in the second half. It was the second overtime win for FGCU over second-seeded Stetson in the span of just over a week.
Hansen made one of two free throws with 3 seconds left, and FGCU escaped when Brianti Saunders' 3-point try for second-seeded Stetson (26-7) missed at the buzzer.
Last week, Hansen, a 5-foot 10-inch guard, was named Atlantic Sun Player of the Year for the second straight season while earning a spot on the A-Sun all-star first team for the third consecutive year.

New patent bill could end hedge fund/IPR strategy
The House Judiciary Committee is considering an amendment to its patent reform bill that will require anyone seeking an IPR review of a patent to certify that it has no financial interest in the matter.

"The 21 songs on 2012 are each delicate aural paintings of raw depth and beauty which stand up to repeated listening because of their elemental nature. Whether she's singing about a man going to his death ("Crow Song") or observing the rare transcendent grace of the world around us ("Blackbird Fly Away"), Serena doesn't mince words. Hearing these compositions all in one place after all these years simply accentuates what makes them so memorable and indispensable. Serena doesn't want fame, but she'll continue to have a rapt audience as long as she continues to release such stunning music. 2012 is a stirring example of Americana at its finest, and it deserves to be savored."

Actually, it's not finding GLM. That's the first file included that it cannot find, so the problem is that it's not getting my include files right. I checked that I have the environment variables setup, and they are, and they point to the correct place, but it says "cannot find glm/glm.h". However, I didn't compile SFML in Linux, so I'll have to do that also. I was thinking I could just put the libraries I'm using into the include path directory if I really need to, but I'd prefer to not have to do that, since CMake should be doing that work for me.

Well, that is a separate issue. Glm is not part of, nor included with SFML, that's the GL math library which you have to install/build separately. I don't believe that Linux distro's include that normally so you likely need to make sure it is all good. Another item to keep in mind is that you may need to deal with the differences in '/' and '\', if you have '\' it could screw up CMake though it usually takes care of such things. Hmm, can't think of anything else at the moment though, I have never used GLM myself so not familiar with it's setup.

Yeah, I understand that, but at the beginning of my CmakeLists.txt file I have:
include_directories( "${PROJECT_BINARY_DIR}" $ENV{GLM_ROOT} $ENV{RAPIDXML_ROOT} $ENV{SFML_ROOT}/extlibs/headers $ENV{SFML_ROOT}/include )
And the environment variable "GLM_ROOT" points to the location where I have GLM (it's a header only library, so nothing to compile). I have it point to the root directory /home/glm, which is where I have it point to in Windows (essentially... c:\glm there) and it works, but in Linux I have no such luck. The Makefile created under Linux doesn't seem to know where the include file is located.

Well, I figured it out. It was an issues with / vs \ . I had to fix that in the files including my included files. Now I've got to sift through all the errors and resolve them. I'm glad that defines are so easy in CMake, so I can define smart_ptr differently in windows and linux. Thanks for your help. I apologize it wasn't actually Cmake related, but it was build environment related

Yeah, it's incredibly frustrating. At least Visual Studio accepts / as well as \ .

Ninth in a 15-part series ranking the Mavericks' 2011-12 roster in importance of bringing back next season.
Surely one can look around the NBA and field a lineup of unfulfilled careers. With the Dallas Mavericks that search stops with Rodrigue Beaubois, the highly-talented guard whose career appeared headed toward the stars until the unfortunate day when the fifth metatarsal in his left foot snapped.
Nothing's been the same since. And everything's been a struggle.
Beaubois is heading into the most important summer of his young NBA career and he knows it.
"I cannot tell you what is going to happen, but obviously I know that this summer is going to be big for me," Beaubois said. "I have to work out a lot and make sure that I am ready because if they give me space (more playing time) I will have to be ready for that."
For the first time in three summers, Beaubois is healthy and able to train. He broke his foot in early August 2010 training with the French national team and underwent surgery soon after. He missed two-thirds of the following season because he re-injured the foot and then hurt it again in the final game of the regular season, forcing him out of the entire championship run and back into the operating room.
Few inroads were made this season and so here we are at a crossroads. Beaubois is effectively entering the final year of his contract. The Mavs can make a qualifying offer next summer or they can say goodbye.
The Countdown ticks down to No. 7...
Pos.: G
Ht./Wt.: 6-foot-2, 180
Experience: 3 years
Age: 24 (Feb. 24, 1988)
2011-12 stats: 8.9 ppg (42.2 FG, 28.8 3FG, 2.9 apg)
Contract status: Signed through 2012-13
2011-12 salary: $1.2 million
2012-13 salary: $2.2 million
His story: The second surgery ruined another summer of work and development with the lockout adding another layer of frustration because it prevented Beaubois from working, or even visiting, with Rick Carlisle and the coaching staff. Once again, Beaubois' role this season is in total limbo because that's also where the Mavs' roster is. Will they sign Deron Williams and re-sign Jason Kidd to back him up at point guard? Will Delonte West and/or Jason Terry return along with Vince Carter to fortify the shooting guard position? And then there's the whole issue of whether he's a point guard -- which he mostly played to varying degrees of success this season -- or a shooting guard, or does it even matter? Or will that be determined simply by where there is room for him?
His outlook: Any number of backcourt variables that emerge after July 1 could open up playing time for Beaubois or again leave him buried behind a veteran crew. Or, in yet another scenario, Beaubois could get caught up in a trade to create additional cap space. Beaubois was essentially out of the rotation in the playoffs, leaving him with still virtually no postseason experience in three trips. Will the 2012-13 season be something of a rebirth for Beaubois in Dallas or the beginning of the end?
No. 15 Lamar Odom
No. 14 Brian Cardinal
No. 13 Yi Jianlian
No. 12 Dominique Jones
No. 11 Brendan Haywood
No. 10 Kelenna Azubuike
No. 9 Ian Mahinmi
No. 8 Vince Carter
No. 7 Rodrigue Beaubois
No. 6 Coming Friday

'Woody Sez' delivers Guthrie's populist message with gusto
Bruce Springsteen — one of many musicians, from Bob Dylan to Kacey Musgraves, who are unimaginable as we know them without Woody Guthrie — once described Guthrie's music as "the core of what it means to be an American," adding that "such songs don't get written anymore, because no one knows how to write them."
That's reason enough to applaud the Milwaukee Repertory Theater's decision to give us a two-month run of "Woody Sez," in which a quartet of superb musicians offers us a glimpse of the man and his music. It opened Sunday night in the Stackner Cabaret. »Read Full Article

Service-providing sector and job growth to 2014
December 19, 2005
Reflecting its historical dominance, the service-providing sector is projected to account for all of the growth in nonagricultural wage and salary employment between 2004 and 2014.
Specifically, the service-providing sector's employment is expected to reach 129 million by 2014, accounting for almost 4 out of every 5 jobs in the U.S. economy.
Within this sector, educational services, health care and social assistance, and professional and business services represent the industry sectors with the fastest projected employment growth. Each of these sectors is expected to grow at double the 1.2-percent projected rate for the economy as a whole, with professional and business services and health care and social assistance adding a dominant 4.6 million and 4.3 million jobs, respectively.
Within the goods-producing sector, construction is expected to be the only sector to exhibit positive employment growth. The projected job gains attributed to the construction sector are expected to be almost completely offset by the expected employment decrease in manufacturing.
These data are from the Employment Projections program. Additional information is available from "Industry output and employment projections to 2014," by Jay M. Berman, Monthly Labor Review, November 2005.

How to Cook Redfish on a Grillby
While there are several different varieties of redfish, they all are excellent for summertime backyard grilling. Redfish have a firm, lean flesh with deep pink to red skin and large eyes. Atlantic and Pacific varieties of redfish are widely available on their respective coasts, often referred to as ocean perch, and Pacific rockfish. You can grill them up as fillets or whole, if you prefer, which can make for an impressive presentation. Have the fishmonger clean, gut and scale whole redfish at the fish counter to make it easier to get them on the grill quickly .
Grilled Redfish Fillets
Step 1
Prepare your grill for medium-high heat, brushing the grill grates with vegetable oil and lighting fresh coals if you are using a charcoal grill. If you are using a gas grill, preheat the grill by turning all burners on to high to preheat for about 10 to 15 minutes, then reduce one burner to a medium-high temperature.

Step 2
Brush the redfish fillets with olive oil or melted butter and season generously with salt and pepper. You can also choose to add any additional and complementary seasonings, herbs and spices you prefer, such as lemon pepper, smashed garlic or chili powder
Step 3
Add your redfish fillets to the hot grill and cook for about 6 to 8 minutes, turning them over halfway through with tongs, until the flesh flakes is fully opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Grilled Whole Redfish
Step 1
Prepare your charcoal or gas grill for medium-high heat. Brush the grill grates with oil, then light the charcoals or preheat your gas grill.
Step 2
Place whole redfish, cleaned, gutted and scaled, on a clean cutting board and make a few slashes on both sides of the body, which will allow the heat to penetrate the interior of the meat easier and cook more evenly.
Step 3
Remove the head if it is still attached by positioning the chef's knife behind the pectoral fin close to the gills and make a diagonal cut toward the head end. Cut firmly through the fish to cut through the bones and discard the head. This is an optional step, however, as you do not have to remove the head.
Step 4
Coat the whole redfish generously with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. You can choose to stuff the cleaned out cavity of the fish with aromatic ingredients such as sliced lemons, garlic cloves and fresh herb sprigs.
Step 5
Place the fish on the grill and cook for roughly 5 minutes on each side. Cover the grill to help create an oven-like atmosphere and get the interior to cook through well.

SEATTLE -- Nick Collison doesn't necessarily agree, but a year ago Seattle coach Bob Hill didn't feel comfortable with Collison on the court against Phoenix.
Collison wasn't quick, aggressive or athletic enough to keep up with the Suns. That's why Collison's performances against Phoenix are such a shock to Hill.
"I don't know what to say to you about him," Hill said. "I'm flabbergasted by him."
Collison had 22 points and 15 rebounds, to go along with Ray Allen's 31 points in Seattle's 114-90 win over the injury-depleted Suns on Wednesday night. It was Phoenix's worst loss of the season, and a season-low in points scored.
It was Collison's second big game of the season against the Suns, as he had career highs of 29 points and 21 rebounds against Phoenix a month ago. That started a string of career-best play from the forward, highlighted by eight double-doubles in the last 16 games including Wednesday night.
That first performance against Phoenix was the catalyst in boosting Collison's confidence.
"It got me going and this was just another good game for me tonight," Collison said. "I definitely played better after that and was a lot more comfortable after that."
Allen, headed for his seventh All-Star game this weekend, scored 17 points in the third as Seattle withstood a brief charge from the Suns, then blew the game open in the fourth quarter.
Amare Stoudemire had 19 points and 13 rebounds, but Phoenix was again without the reigning two-time MVP Steve Nash and starter Boris Diaw. Nash missed his fourth straight game with and injured right shoulder, and Diaw was sidelined for a second consecutive game with back spasms.
The Suns' previous biggest defeat this season came last Sunday in a 13-point loss to the Chicago Bulls.
"With Ray Allen shooting like that, even with us full strength, I don't know if we could have beat them or not," Phoenix coach Mike D'Antoni said. "It's a little discouraging that we lost, but again, give them credit. We played hard and not it's a good time for a break, that's for sure."
Allen eclipsed the 30-point mark for the 15th time this season, making 11 of 19 shots and taking turns sinking jumpers despite the best efforts of Raja Bell, Leandro Barbosa and Marcus Banks.
Allen got plenty of help in the first half from Collison. Determined to match Stoudemire's output, Collison scored 18 points and grabbed 12 rebounds in the first half, five on the offensive end. Collison scored eight of Seattle's final 10 points in the first half to help keep the lead at double figures.
Collison's play frustrated Stoudemire, who barely stopped short of slamming the ball into the court after fouling Collison while the two battled for a loose ball.
"We happened to be a little undermanned tonight and sometimes it got a little frustrating," Stoudemire said.
Then Allen took over. Phoenix made one run in third, cutting Seattle's lead to 73-66 on Stoudemire's tip-in with 6:55 left in the quarter. Allen then scored 11 of the Sonics' next 19 points to push their lead back to 15. He nearly made it 18, watching a 60-footer at the end of the third bounce off the rim.
"The game picked up and we had to push the ball," Allen said. "They went on a run and we had to make sure to go right back at them. I just took what the defense gave me, but I tried to take a little bit more, I guess."
Rashard Lewis scored 20 points in his third game back from an injury to his right hand that cost the former All-Star 22 games. Reserve Earl Watson added 12.
Phoenix got a season-high 21 off the bench from Banks, but the Suns couldn't overcome a slow shooting start. Phoenix missed 13 of its first 16 attempts, then scored just 13 points in the fourth quarter as Seattle turned the game into a laugher.
Barbosa scored 16 and Shawn Marion had 10.
"I'm proud of what they've done up until the All-Star break," D'Antoni said. "Now it's time to clear our head Dan get people well."
- Allen was ready to spend the All-Star break with his family in Mexico, but that all changed Tuesday afternoon when driving home from practice Allen was informed he was going to Las Vegas. Allen and Utah's Mehmet Okur were injury replacements for Nash and Allen Iverson. Allen said even if he was already in Mexico and informed he could play, he would have left his vacation to play in the game.
- D'Antoni expects Kurt Thomas to make his return next Tuesday. Thomas has been out since Jan. 15 with an elbow injury.
