|Re: Apache Maven Repo Issue for 1.1 release
|Wed, 24 May 2006 14:24:40 GMT
I added a program I was noodling on into sandbox. Its in sandbox/releasetools/trunk/src/java/org/apache/geroinimo/releasetools/VersionVerifier.java Its not complete and very rough but it effectively grinds through the entire G tree and extracts all dependencies G has on external projects. I started adding code to go to the maven repos and get a current list of projects but haven't finished it. David Blevins had a good suggestion that this could be used to build a project.xml that could declare all the dependencies so you could run maven against the project.xml and download all dependencies at once. If this helps you have at. Matt Aaron Mulder wrote: > +1 to having a way to download all the dependencies you need with or > in addition to the source.

2K Games lays out five-year plan, wants one AAA a year
2K Games' new president David Ismailer has laid out a fresh five-year plan for the label that will tap the strengths of its catalog IP including its growing AAA games business and annualized sports titles.
Despite releasing a number of key games in FY17 like Mafia III and Battleborn, 2K Games didn't contributed as strongly to total fiscal year sales earnings as it normally would with such a hefty release slate. Of course it didn't help that Battleborn was quickly swallowed up by Blizzard's Overwatch, and Mafia III was plagued with a rocky start. The current fiscal year, FY18, sees 2K Games' slate much thinner than usual. The label's newly appointed president, David Ismailer, has laid out a new five-year plan that will leverage the label's beefy catalog in strategic ways to help boost earnings.
In a recent interview with Games Industry.biz, Take-Two Interactive CEO Strauss Zelnick and 2K Games President David Ismailer discuss the future of the label. The publisher's "huge" new game is still on for FY19, which is likely to be Borderlands 3, and 2K will continue annually releasing sports games from its WWE and NBA IPs to help bolster profits. Ismailer affirms that his new five-year plan isn't dramatically different from 2K's current strategies, but he is aiming to release a new AAA game every year.

Digital made up 80% of Ubisoft's first quarter sales
Ubisoft reports stellar first quarter revenues and sales driven by strong digital growth across all segments and platforms, including PS4, Xbox One and PC.
French games-maker Ubisoft is transforming more and more of its business into digital revenue streams, and this initiative is paying off big. The company recently announced total sales earnings of 202.1 million euros ($232.78 million) in the three-month period ending June 30, all without even releasing a new game.
What's even more impressive is that 80.4% of these earnings, or 164.2 million euros ($189.07 million) were from digital purchases such as full game sales as well as recurrent consumer spending via microtransactions, DLC and add-ons. Ubisoft categorizes the latter digital monetization revenues as PRI, or "Player Recurring Investment," which also saw tremendous growth in the quarter: the company earned 83.1 million euros ($95.69 million) in PRI, up a mighty 73.4% year-over-year. PRI actually made up 41.1% of the quarter's total sales, meaning almost half of Ubisoft's digital revenues consisted of paid add-ons and other content.

Console gamers to spend more on DLC than games in 2017
As the games industry shifts towards a digital-powered games-as-a-service model with recurring revenue streams at the whims of consumers, analyst firm SuperData reports that console gamers will purchase and consume more digital content in the form of microtransactions, DLC, and add-ons than games in 2017.
In today's market, digital-driven games like Overwatch, GTA Online, Rocket League and FIFA dominate consoles across the world, earning billions in combined revenue. We've just reported on how Ubisoft's digital-first strategy is paying off big, and other publishers are just as keen on slicing off their share of the lucrative market as gamers are to spend on their creations. Analyst firm SuperData predicts that add-on content--which includes microtransactions, DLC, season passes and other post-release content like map packs--will make up over 50% of the console gaming sector's total revenues for 2017. This effectively means console gamers are willing to spend more money on add-ons than they are on full game downloads.
The firm also reports that add-on content makes up 75% of total revenues for top-earning console games for 2015 through 2017. Reliance on additional content is furthered by the yearly decrease of retail sales (2016's holiday season was the worst for retail games in the US in 20 years). Publishers must learn how to establish a proper timetable and road map for new console IP to gain maximum revenue.

GTA Online earned $1.09 billion, says analyst firm
Take-Two Interactive's massively lucrative online-based Grand Theft Auto game has pulled in considerable lifetime-to-date earnings, according to research firm SuperData.
Grand Theft Auto V's massively popular persistent online open-world component, GTA Online, has generated an estimated $1.092 billion in total revenues, analyst firm SuperData reports. GTA V is the highest-earning digital console game of all time thanks to its hugely profitable add-on content, the firm said in a recent market report, with total revenues of $1.4 billion since its release in 2013--78% of which was earned by add-on content through GTA Online.
Rockstar Games parent company Take-Two Interactive reported strong earnings in its last fiscal year thanks to the years-old GTA V and GTA Online powerhouse. The company earned $927.1 million in digital net revenues, with recurrent consumer spending on DLC/add-ons/microtransactions making up 50% of revenues, or $460.85 million. GTA Online had a tremendous effect on digital sales revenue, too: bookings from recurrent monetization streams grew a substantial 52% over last year to an impressive $562.7 million, or 57% of total digitally-delivered bookings.

Xbox worth $9 billion, 53 million Xbox LIVE users
Microsoft today reported strong Q4 and full year fiscal earnings across all of its segments, and its gaming branch pulled in over $9 billion in revenues despite lower Xbox console sales.
Despite Sony's dominant lead in console sales, Microsoft's gaming segment is extremely healthy and prosperous as the company's digital cross-platform transformation continues paying off. The Redmond-based titan has unified Windows 10 PCs, mobile phones, and Xbox consoles with its unique Xbox-as-a-service initiative, which sees Xbox LIVE connecting a manner of popular devices together.
I've dug around in the financials and have formulated a quick analysis to give you a better idea of Microsoft's gaming growth, but first let's take a look at the raw numbers. Gaming, which is part of Microsoft's More PC Computing segment, earned a total of $9.076 billion in the fiscal year.
Gaming is a significant force behind the More Personal Computing segment, but unlike Sony, gaming doesn't represent a strong earner for Microsoft's total revenues. Total gaming revenue ($9.076 billion) made up 18.78% of total quarterly More Personal Computing segment revenues ($38.77 billion), and 23.4% of total MPC revenues for the full fiscal year.

Ubisoft hints AC Origins' RPG elements will be monetized
Ubisoft has stated that all of its games will have live services that tie into recurring player investment, hinting that Assassin's Creed: Origins may be monetized with in-game purchases and microtransactions. In a Q1 earnings call, key Ubisoft executives give more clues on how the next Assassin's Creed will continue earning money long after initial sales.
French games-maker Ubisoft has made a tremendous transformation in the last few years, and its digital-first strategy is paying off big. Instead of focusing on single-release games, Ubisoft has embraced the next evolution of gaming which sees digital titles being treated as a service--the Games-as-a-Service trend, or GaaS--to ensure its games keep pulling in revenues months or even years after release. One of the main ways it achieves this goal is by infusing microtransactions into its games. While online multiplayer games like Rainbow Six: Siege and For Honor are obvious choices for this monetization path, traditional game like Assassin's Creed are prime targets as well.
The Assassin's Creed series is no stranger to in-game microtransactions, and I expect the upcoming Egypt-based Assassin's Creed: Origins to be no different. I've already predicted that Ubisoft will monetize AC: Origins with loot boxes that contain randomized items, gear, or skill buffs, and now key corporate Ubisoft execs are adding weight to these predictions. In a recent Q1 earnings call, Ubisoft exec Alain Corre hints that the company may use Origins' heavy RPG focus as a path to recurring revenues.
"As far as the digital potential for Origins and its engagement capability, as we've said we really invested heavily to increase the RPG side of the game. [As a result of this investment] we clearly feel that we have better potential to increase the engagement of the game, and we believe that therefore the player recurring investment will continue to grow," said Alain Corre, Executive Director of Ubisoft's EMEA branch.

Blizzard killing support for WinXP, Vista this October
Blizzard is making good on its promise to kill off support for legacy Windows operating systems in its popular franchises.
Blizzard has announced that Windows XP and Windows Vista users will no longer be able to play StarCraft II, World of Warcraft, Diablo III, Hearthstone and Heroes of the Storm after the killswitch is flipped in October.
"Microsoft ceased mainstream support for these versions of Windows in 2009 and 2012, respectively, but since a decent portion of our audience was still using them at the time, we continued supporting them. However, there have been three major Windows releases since Vista, and at this point, the vast majority of our audience has upgraded to one of the newer versions.

Nintendo's Fire Emblem mobile game rakes in $114 million
Nintendo's third smartphone game is booming, raking in considerable six-month sales.
Fire Emblem Heroes has made $114.9 million in revenues since its release on February 2, analyst firm SensorTower reports. These substantial earnings were generated with a rather smallish 11.7 million user install base compared to Super Mario Run's 90 million downloads in its first two weeks. Unlike Nintendo's "Mario on mobile" smartphone game, Fire Emblem Heroes has generated significant revenue from in-game purchases thanks to its specific earnings strategy.
The star mobile game leverages the massively lucrative "gacha" free-to-play business model, which sells in-game currency called "orbs" starting at $1.99 all the way up to $74.99. These in-game orbs are used to unlock new characters, upgrade stats, and other bonuses. Although the playerbase is smaller than most high-earning smartphone games, Fire Emblem Heroes is Nintendo's most profitable mobile game to date.

N64 Mini hinted by new Nintendo trademark
Nostalgia is massively lucrative, and it looks like Nintendo will continue stirring up millions of consumers with a Nintendo 64 Classic Edition in 2018.
Nintendo today filed a very interesting and instantly recognizable trademark in the European Union Intellectual Property Office that shows the Nintendo 64's iconic controller. As the graphic is quite similar to previous visual trademarks used in previous Nintendo "mini" consoles, it's very likely to represent a future Nintendo 64 Classic Edition micro-console to be released sometime in 2018.
Both the NES Classic Edition and the upcoming $79.99 SNES Classic Edition micro-consoles feature a distinctive controller logo on the top of their boxes. We've included a few side-by-side comparisons to illustrate.

AMD compares Radeon RX Vega to GTX 1080 in Battlefield 1
AMD has taken its next-gen Radeon RX Vega onto the road, landing in Budapest first. AMD is showing off its new GPU architecture to gaming fans, teaming up with ASUS to show off AMD/ASUS products.
The company has since shown off its new logo/branding for Radeon RX Vega, testing RX Vega with AMD's own Ryzen 7 1800X processor and Battlefield 1 at 3440x1440 on a beautiful FreeSync-powered UltraWide display. There was also another gaming PC next to it running NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 1080 (and not the GTX 1080 Ti) pitted against Radeon RX Vega.
The GeForce GTX 1080 powered gaming PC had the same 34-inch display and native 3440x1440 resolution, but was a G-Sync panel, compared to the RX Vega powered PC and its FreeSync Display. Both monitors were covered so you couldn't tell the difference between the systems, making it a blind test.
AMD didn't have FPS counters on the machines, but Szunyogg said on Reddit:
- The AMD rep guy was asked and he said it's a GTX 1080 non Ti against the RX VEGA
- We were given 2 systems with an RX and a GTX to play BF1 on.
- They do use free- and g-sync and yes there were no fps counters. From my experience there were no fps drops on any of the systems.
- There was a little hiccup, but they resolved it in an instant and from my experience and many others the difference was unnoticeable. Mind you we were not told and are not going to be told which setup is which.
AMD will taking Radeon RX Vega to Portland and LA next, hitting PDXLAN between July 21-23 and LA for SIGGRAPH on July 30.

WASHINGTON - Pink slips piled up and jobs disappeared into thin air in May as the nation's unemployment rate zoomed to 5.5 percent in the biggest one-month jump in decades. Wall Street swooned, and the White House said President Bush was considering new proposals to revive the economy.
Help-wanted signs are vanishing along with jobs, so the unemployment rate is likely to keep climbing, a government report indicated, underscoring the toll the housing and credit crises are taking on jobseekers, employers and the economy as a whole.
Adding to the pain, oil prices soared to a new record high, while the value of the dollar fell.
The Dow Jones industrials tumbled almost 400 points.
The White House snapped into crisis-management mode. The president is now considering further plans to help energize the economy, which had already been teetering on the edge of recession, said counselor Ed Gillespie. Bush acknowledged, "This is a time of turbulence in the housing market and slow growth for our overall economy."
Pounded by soaring energy prices and plagued by uncertainty, nervous employers clamped down further on hiring in May.
Longer unemployment lines mean even more angst for those seeking work.
Barbara Bowens, 52, of Washington, D.C., has been laid off from a janitorial job since March. The prospects of finding a new job "don't look so good," she said. "I can't pay bills off nothing." Collecting unemployment benefits helps, but "I've got to pinch pennies."
Cheryl Williams, who lives in the Tulsa, Okla., suburb of Broken Arrow, has been looking for work for two years after losing her job as a certified nurse's aide. The 37-year-old relies on $225 a month in welfare and odds-and-ends jobs to support her two kids.
"I have job searched and job searched and job searched," Williams said. "I would like to have a real job."
Just in the past several days General Motors Corp., United Airlines and others have joined the flurry of job-cut announcements.
The unemployment rate shot up from 5 percent in April, reflecting more workers losing their jobs as well as an influx of young people looking for work. It was the biggest over-the-month swing in the rate since February 1986. The increase left the jobless rate at its highest since October 2004.
The unemployment rate for blacks climbed to 9.7 percent, the highest since late 2005. The rate for teenagers rose to 18.7 percent, the highest in five years. The rate for Hispanics held steady at 6.9 percent.
Economists believe the 5.5 percent nationwide unemployment rate may overstate the weakness in the job market. But they still say it's heading higher. Some predict it will hit 6 percent or higher early next year.
"Employers are uncertain about where the economy is going, so they are more cautious than they would normally be in pulling the hiring trigger," said Tig Gilliam, chief executive officer of Adecco North America, a placement and recruiting firm.
Both employers and workers, he said, are now inclined to look locally. The housing bust has made it difficult for people to sell their homes and relocate for new jobs. And galloping gas prices are making some jobseekers draw a line on commuting longer distances.
Friday's Labor Department report was filled with sobering numbers:
Employers eliminated 49,000 jobs in May, the fifth straight month of nationwide losses.
The number of unemployed people grew by 861,000 - to 8.5 million.
Job losses for the year reached 324,000.

Different pressure washers have different cleaning abilities. Read the documentation that came with your pressure washer before beginning any pressure washing or power washing task and confirm that your model is appropriate for the job. Learn how to set up your machine and how to select the correct spray pattern. Settings vary by whether you're applying detergent or performing high-pressure cleaning and by the type of surface you're cleaning.
Move the vehicle to an open space and close the windows, doors and sunroof. If you're pressure washing a boat with a canopy or removable seat cushions, take these items off of the boat. If you're washing a truck, remove loose items from the bed. Cover any exposed electrical components on the vehicle.
Check the work area and remove obstacles that could cause you to trip or that might snag the hoses.
Check your vehicle owner's manual to verify that pressure washing is an acceptable cleaning method.
Follow the safety instructions in your pressure washer manual. General guidelines include:
Consult the vehicle owner's manual for cleaning instructions specific to the vehicle. Using a pressure washer incorrectly can damage your vehicle, so check the pressure washer manual for operating instructions, including information on spray settings and how far the spray tip should be from the vehicle. Test the spray pattern on an inconspicuous area before cleaning to make sure the setting does not damage the surface. General instructions for pressure washing vehicles are listed below:
Don't direct the pressure washer spray into the vehicle's vents or engine compartment.
After you clean your vehicle, move it away and flush the work area with clear water to dilute the detergent residue. You'll also need to take care of the pressure washer. Your manual should include directions for relieving the water pressure, draining liquid from the pump and storing the machine. Follow these instructions to make sure your pressure washer is ready for your next cleaning project.

Real Housewife Ana Quincoces Arrested, Blames Cockroaches
Ana Quincoces' time on The Real Housewives of Miami was brief, but her vacation time down in the Florida Keys was cut even shorter. First by cockroaches and then by the law.
Quincoces had a suspended driver's license but continued to drive freely. Apparently she's been spending a lot of time down in the Keys, because Monroe County Sheriff's Deputies had previously informed her of her license status and that she shouldn't be driving. In fact, back on February 9, Deputy Bryan Cross had responded to a disturbance call in Key Largo and encountered Quincoces, according to the arrest report. Cross and a fellow deputy at the time informed her that her license was suspended, seized it, and told her not to drive.
Fast-forward to this past Sunday. Deputy Cross was doing a security check near Mile Marker 99 of U.S. 1 at 3:40 a.m. when he noticed a familiar Subaru SUV driving down the road. He recognized it as Quincoces' vehicle and pulled her over.
Quincoces had still not fixed her license situation, and Cross asked her why she was driving when she had previously been told not to. Quincoces had no excuse and was arrested on misdemeanor charges and taken to a jail on Plantation Key for a few hours.
Quincoces' mugshot.
Monroe County Corrections
However, according to Keys Info, Quincoces now has an excuse. She says she was staying in a home that had been listed by a realtor friend of hers, but found that the home was full of cockroaches. She said she just wanted to return home and didn't know she had a suspended license.
The grand irony of Quincoces' apparent inability to understand basic law regarding driver's license suspension is that she is indeed a lawyer by trade. She's also a cookbook author and "chef," but who isn't these days?
Quincoces, a 50 year old from Coral Gables, first appeared on the first season of Real Housewives of Miami as a guest, returned to the second season a main cast member, and was downgraded to recurring "friend of the Housewives" in season three. The show has not been officially cancelled or renewed by Bravo.

- How to Read a Study Record
This study is intended to test an experimental new drug called, EMD 525797 (Study Drug). This drug is not yet approved for sale and has only been tested in a small number of people to date (prior to this study starting another research study was carried out involving 37 healthy volunteers receiving the Study Drug). Until more is known about this Study Drug, it can only be used in research studies.
This research study is planned to answer important questions about how the Study Drug is tolerated and how it may work in patients with prostate cancer with bone metastases.
This is a small study which is expected to include 24 patients, and will be conducted in approximately 3 hospitals in Germany and 1 hospital in Brussels, Belgium. The study will last until the last patient has had their last study visit which is expected to be about 18 months in total.

|March 2011
|Primary Completion Date:
|September 2010 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
|Experimental: 1
Biological: EMD 525797
EMD 525797 will be administered as an i.v. over 1 hour every two weeks for 6 weeks. Subjects with clinical benefit at end of week 6 will be offered continuation of treatment with EMD 525797 at the same dose-level until disease progression, intolerance to treatment, withdrawal of consent or in the opinion of the investigator, the subject is no longer benefiting from treatment.
Dose escalation carried out as follows:
Dose-level 1: 250 mg of EMD 525797 i.v. Dose-level 2: 500 mg dose of EMD 525797 i.v. Dose-level 3: 1000 mg dose of EMD 525797 i.v. Dose-level 4: 1500 mg dose of EMD 525797 i.v.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years and older (Adult, Senior)
|Sexes Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Inclusion Criteria:
- Provision of signed written informed consent
- Age superior or equal to 18 years
- Subjects with histological or cytologically proven prostate cancer with evidence of bone metastases on bone scans or CT / MRI after prior chemotherapy with e.g. taxane or mitoxantrone Patients should have undergone bilateral orchiectomy or should be on continuous androgen deprivation therapy with a gonadotropin releasing hormone agonist or antagonist and should have stopped any anti-androgen therapy for at least 4 weeks before inclusion in the study. Patients should be either on stable (i.e., since at least 3 months) ongoing therapy with a bisphosphonate or without any bisphosphonate therapy. Initiation of a bisphosphonate therapy within this time period prior the study or during the study is not allowed. Total serum testosterone should be less than 50 ng/dL or 1.7 nmol/L.
- Evidence of progressive disease, defined by at least two PSA values above the individual nadir level with an increase of at least 10% each determined at a minimum interval of 2 weeks before screening examination. Presence of a measurable lesion is not required for study entry. Nodal (in lymph nodes superior or equal to 2cm) or visceral progression is sufficient for trial entry independent of PSA.
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 to 2 at study entry and an estimated life expectancy of at least 3 months.
- Adequate hematological function, defined by white blood cell count (WBC) greater than or equal to 3 x 109/L with absolute neutrophil count (ANC) greater than or equal to 1.5 x 109/L, and lymphocyte count greater than or equal to 0.5 x 109/L; platelet count greater than or equal to 100 x 109/L; and hemoglobin greater than or equal to 9 g/dL.
- Adequate hepatic function defined by total bilirubin level less than or equal to 1.5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN), and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels less than or equal to 2.5 x ULN; or, for subjects with documented metastatic disease to the liver, AST and ALT levels less than or equal to 5 x ULN.
- Adequate renal function defined by serum creatinine less than 1.5 mg/dL.
- Effective contraception. If the risk of conception exists, pregnancy has to be avoided during the study (SCR to EOS) as well as during at least 3 month after last dosing using an effective contraception method (e.g. double barrier method)
Exclusion Criteria:
- Any systemic cytotoxic cancer treatment within 4 weeks before treatment with EMD 525797.
- Acute pathologic fracture, spinal cord progression, hypercalcemia (within 4 weeks period prior to screening).
- Radiotherapy to bone lesions, orthopaedic surgery, or any investigational drug in the 30 days before the start of treatment in this study and during treatment period, and/or biopsies involving bone within 2 weeks before the start of treatment in this study.
- Supraphysiologic doses of steroids (defined as superior or equal to 7.5 mg of prednisone equivalents per day).
- Previous treatment with anti-integrin therapy.
- Confirmed or clinically suspected brain metastases.
- Known hypersensitivity reactions to any of the components of the study medication.
- History of allergic reactions to other monoclonal antibody (mAb) therapy.
- Uncontrolled hypertension (systolic greater or equal to 160 mmHg, diastolic greater than or equal to 100 mmHg).
- Current history of chronic daily aspirin therapy (ASS at doses inferior or equal to 100 mg is permitted), bleeding disorders and/or history of thromboembolic events (history of superficial thrombophlebitis is not an exclusion criterion); thrombolytics or oral or parenteral anticoagulants within 10 days prior to study start and during treatment period.
- Severe peripheral vascular disease or ulceration.
- Unstable angina pectoris, or myocardial infarction within 6 months before start of study treatment, clinical significant abnormal ECG at screening
- Known alcohol or drug abuse.
- Participation in another clinical trial within the past 30 days before start of study treatment.

Searching the CVS logs for an author is nonsense, since the history get lost if we move the files around or create new repositories, like we do in the past. And the CHANGES are not really complete. Using AUTHOR tags in the source files is a good practice, IMHO. -1, Stephan.

Rick Perry once again tried to show he's a good sport about his numerous campaign gaffes with a turn on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.
Spoofing his now-famous "oops" moment at a GOP debate when he was listing three agencies he'd like to cut and couldn't remember the name of the third agency, the Texas governor helped Leno open his NBC show Thursday with a sketch about reality TV show stars, the Kardashians.
As Leno struggled to name all three sisters, Perry piped in to help out with the name of the youngest. "Khloe. It's just three names, Jay. It's not hard to remember."
Perry also tried to explain a recent gaffe, when he urged a crowd of college students in New Hampshire this week to vote for him if they're 21 years old.
"You and I, we grew up in that 21 voting age," Perry told Leno. "I was thinking drinking age, maybe. ... You've got to have an excuse, right? That's mine, and I'm sticking to it."
Leno joked that Perry, once a front-runner for the GOP nomination, "provided us with a lot of material."
Perry's response? "Thanks, it's what I do."
In Iowa TV markets, Perry bracketed his appearance on Leno's show with a new ad poking fun at his debate gaffe. Perry also tried to promote himself in the spot as the best Republican to "clean house in Washington" and touted his proposal for a part-time Congress with its pay cut in half on the NBC program.
He discussed Social Security and why he thinks President Obama was wrong to announce a date for withdrawing U.S. troops from Iraq.
On the subject of the allegations that rival Herman Cain has been dealing with, Perry said it's fair to explore a candidate's personal life. "People hate hypocrites," he said, proclaiming his life an "open book" after 11 years as Texas governor.

Can I have the option to create a health plan back please? Ta
Pretty average, lacks updates. A simple return to vat in the to do list would be good.
When I look up my cows under the reproduction history tab and it says the current sire for the cow. Could be great to click on the bull and see some overview of that bull,maby a photo or two of the bull even some of the daughters would help during calving thank.
Good but could be better. The ability to record dryoff would be good especially when you are drying off a few before you do the whole herd.
All good but as mentioned can't add an health event from earlier date. Plus like to see grazing calendar added to pasture module. So I can fill in which paddock is being grazed on that day. Cheers
Need to be able to cull cows. also need same kind of group idea as minda pro cause if you have animals with different herd code to your own you can't look them up by birth I'd!
Good app but terrible adding events
Looks good.
Good like it but can't enter an event that happens the day before. You should be able to select the date you matted cows or had cow calve etc
Handy app but can no longer lookup animals via birth id
Can no longer see the BW of a calf when recording a calf with the calving app. Very disappointed.

WIGAN'S hospital trust has failed to contain a potentially fatal super bug after missing their yearly NHS target.
Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh NHS Foundation Trust (WWL) exceeded 36 cases of the Clostridium difficile (C diff) toxin at the trust, despite making huge improvements in containing hospital bugs.
A spokesman for the trust said: "WWL continue to commit itself to improving Infection Control and to lowering Healthcare Associated Infection rates. With the dedication of our staff we have made significant progress and achieved results of which we can be deservedly proud.
"Our percentage reduction to date is fantastic. From our reported rate in 2007/08 we have seen a 90 per cent reduction in C diff cases.
"Despite the trust's best endeavour's to continue its excellent record in reducing C diff cases, we have unfortunately exceeded our annual limit for this year.
"This year the Trust was asked, by the Department of Health, to undertake a further 31 per cent reduction in comparison with last year. This was always going to be a challenge to achieve.
"Nevertheless, our current position is much improved compared to this time last year.
"As part of the implementation of the C diff strategy and as additional support, extra housekeeping staff and cleaners have been recruited. New cleaning protocols have also been developed and rolled out across the hospital sites.
"The trust has also invested heavily in the management of C diff by creating a ward to accommodate all C diff patients and by developing a dedicated CDT care pathway. This patient care pathway is monitored closely by a multi-disciplinary team to make sure each patient receives optimum treatment.
Clostridium difficile infection – commonly known as C-Diff – is a type of bacterial infection that can affect the digestive system.
In severe cases it can be fatal and commonly affects patients in hospitals.
In December, an inquest into the death of 91-year-old Tommy Kevan of Stubshaw Cross heard how he died after contracting a C diff infection in his bowel having been treated at Wigan Infirmary.
Director of infection prevention and control, Pauline Jones said: "While we have made great strides in reducing Healthcare Associated Infections, it is disappointing that we have exceeded our annual limit.
"However, I recognise that a vast amount of hard work and commitment has been demonstrated this year by our dedicated staff."

17th February 1947, just north of Cardiff
The light was fading before they reached Tongwynlais, the world shading slowly darker in the muffled grey space between heavy cloud and heavier snow. Penny Johnson shivered and huddled inside her thick layers of woollens, grateful for the faint warmth of the tracking unit that she held between her gloved hands even as the truck's rattling, lurching motion threatened to send it tumbling from her grasp. Her breath hung before her, a pale mist that mingled with that of her two companions and threatened to frost the frozen windscreen from within, white on white, and for all the movement visible beyond the glass, they might just be the only creatures left alive on
The world shifted suddenly, sickeningly sideways. Penny gasped and grabbed at Frank's arm as the truck slid, swayed... and steadied, gears protesting as the chained wheels spun for purchase. The dented Bedford QL shuddered violently in place for a moment, but then the engine roared and it started to edge forward once more, the broad blade of the snowplough pushing through the blank whiteness that smothered the landscape.
"Whoops," muttered Jack as he wrestled with the steering wheel. "Sorry think I might have missed the road a bit there."
Penny laughed nervously and forced herself to relax, disengaging herself from Frank's arm. Truth be told, Jack Harkness's driving scared her silly at the best of times, never mind when he had to navigate by guesswork and memory. "Just so long as you can find it again," she said lightly, fumbling with the tracker. "If we end up in a ditch, I doubt we'll be rescued before spring."
"Captain won't put us in a ditch," Frank Milton told her cheerily, his voice muffled behind his knitted scarf. "Wrap us about a tree, perhaps...."
"Thanks for the vote of confidence, guys." Jack worked through the gears as the terrain sloped upwards before them. "What does the scan say, Penny? Much further to the target?"
Penny squinted at the tracker in its Bakelite case. "A mile, perhaps a mile and a half, up in the forests past Castel Coch." She winced as she realised that the gentle slope that they were currently crawling up would be as nothing compared to the steep hills ahead. "Still stationary but there are fluctuations that just won't settle into a pattern."
"It's alive, then?" Frank's gloved hand moved automatically to where his gun was hidden beneath his army greatcoat.
"Doesn't mean it's dangerous," Jack said, though Penny saw a slight tightening at the corners of his mouth.
"Doesn't mean it's not."
Jack snorted, a brief gust of white in the chill cabin. "True enough." He gunned the engine and flashed them a grin that might have been more impressive without the bright red knitted bobble hat pulled down to cover the tops of his ears. "So, let's get up there and see which it is!"
"Assuming we don't just slide backwards as soon as we get past the village." Penny leaned forward to wipe at the windscreen, seeing the greyed-out suggestion of cottages arrayed to either side of their slow advance, barely visible through the falling snow. Wispy plumes of smoke rose from chimneys but there was no light visible from windows, the blackout curtains of the war years now employed to hold the heat of the hearth inside. The world was hemmed in, above and below and around, and it just wasn't fair the war wasn't even two years past, the country still surviving on basic rations and sheer bloody-mindedness, and for a winter like this to hit now....
Hadn't they been tried enough already?
"Think someone should tell the Russians we've got their bloody weather?" Frank shivered and clapped his hands together before tucking them into his pockets, gloves and all. "Been almost a month now."
"Want me to think of a way to warm you up?" Jack asked, but the familiar flirtation sounded forced, the usual sparkle gone as he concentrated on the steepening gradient. "Bad winters happen," he said after a long moment. "No help for it. 1879 was a bastard but I think this one might have it beat...."
Penny and Frank exchanged looks. Sometimes it was all too easy to forget Jack's age.
The cottages grew closer together in the weak beam of the headlamps, flicking in and out of shadow as the plough threw half-crusted snow up and back and into their churned wake. The truck clipped a kerbstone as Jack cautiously negotiated a turn and Penny saw slivers of light appear as curtains twitched aside to see the source of the commotion. "Jack...."
"I've got it, I've got it...." The Bedford shuddered and lurched into reverse, the snowplough a sudden dead weight, then jumped forward once more, finding the road this time. "There we go." Jack crunched through protesting gears, then glanced across at his companions. "What's the matter? Worried the locals are going to fall on us like wolves?"
"On us? No." Frank peered out of the window. "But with the fuel tanks on this thing?"
"Fuel rationing's hard enough in summer," Penny said, looking down at the dim lights of the tracker. "At least food rations they can supplement with what they can catch. I'd rather they not try to catch us it's not as though we can run very fast right now...."
Jack laughed and patted the steering wheel. "Think they might mistake old Bertha here for a rabbit?"
"Says the man who appears convinced that rabbits are large, woolly and white?"
"Yeah, yeah." Jack didn't look terribly repentant. "Didn't see you complaining about the lamb stew at the time. Anyway, we've got bigger teeth than " He broke off, frowning at the road ahead. "Aw, crap."
"Problem?" Frank's hand moved to his hip.
"Nothing we didn't expect," Jack told him, eyeing the smooth, white slope that now rose steeply ahead of them, climbing sharply into the hills above Tongwynlais. "Hold on tight, boys and girls let's see if I can remember where the bends are...."
Penny clung to the tracker with one hand and to Frank with the other as the truck began its torturous ascent. Jack's face was a mask of concentration as the snow before them became the sum of their world, its soft and slippery contours hiding dangers that would not even register as such come the spring. The metal prow welded to the front of the snub-nosed cabin cut through the worst of the drifts, occasionally scraping hard against the road beneath, and Jack cursed under his breath each time the wheels found a hidden bump or dip or fought for purchase against hard-packed white. The cardboard box they'd placed beneath the seat slid back and forth, occasionally bumping the back of Penny's heels, and she hoped that the Thermos flasks of hot tea and soup would survive the treatment. The sandwiches in their brown paper wrappings were likely immune from harm, no doubt frozen through to the point that they would be impervious to anything bar the heavier weaponry strapped to the racking in the covered truck bed behind them....
"Whatever's at the end of this, I hope it's bloody worth it," Frank muttered, barely audibly audible over his scarf and the shuddering snarl of the engine. "Or, at the very least, edible."
Penny smiled, grateful for something to distract her from her freezing toes and their slow climb into the hills. "If it isn't, we could always get Jack to shoot another sheep."
"No good," Jack said, never taking his eyes from the road. "You want to try finding something white and fluffy in this?"
Frank snorted at that and Penny laughed... then frowned as the tracker's dials began to jerk. "We're getting close," she said, feeling her pulse skip in sudden anticipation. "Another quarter-mile, perhaps."
"Do we know what we're looking for yet?" Frank asked, peering over at the illuminated box in her hands.
"Think I might. Sort of." Jack spared them a quick glance as they raised their heads to look at him, then nodded at the road ahead. "See anything?"
Penny frowned and leaned forward to wipe at the screen once more. The white expanse before them appeared to level off somewhat, then rose gently once more as it veered to the left, vanishing behind the dark and shadowed shapes of snow-heavy beech. The thick white flakes were falling more slowly now, twisting in the light of the truck's headlamps and in the faint, pale wash of moonlight that
"We're in a snowstorm cloud cover's solid from here to Pontypridd." Frank's hand moved back towards his gun. "That's not moonlight."
"Good lad." Jack smiled, though there was little humour to it. "Still, look at it this way at least we'll be able to see what we're doing."
"And they'll be able to see us," Penny said quietly, her words hanging as mist before her. She hated this part, the lull before the storm, knowing that they were going to face something but not knowing what. Frank had been a soldier and Jack was... whatever Jack was, but she had just been a junior banking clerk before Torchwood exploded quite literally into her life. She wasn't the only woman on the team, and after two years as an operative she could handle a weapon as well as any of the men, but it was sometimes hard to forget her mother's voice lecturing her sister and herself on 'ladylike demeanour', harder still to forget the fates she had seen befall others.... She swallowed hard, forcing down her fear, and made herself concentrate on the twitching dials. "Around this next bend should be in the trees, but it's... diffuse somehow?" She tapped the side of the box gently, then again, a little harder. "It's large and it's constantly shifting but it's as if it's barely there."
"So, small, numerous and frisky." Jack wrestled the truck into the turn. "Great."
"All we need's a flamin' hive," Frank muttered darkly.
Penny shook her head. "I don't know it's hard to say. I think...." She trailed off as they rounded the bend and she could finally see what lay ahead. "Oh!"
Jack stood on the brakes and heaved hard against the steering wheel, swinging the front-heavy Bedford violently around on the shallow slope. Penny shrieked, diving after the tracker as it escaped her grip, then gasped as they came to a sudden, shuddering halt, half-convinced that he'd finally taken them off the road and almost entirely certain that they were under attack. Neither Jack nor Frank appeared to be scrambling for weaponry or escape, however, and so she cautiously raised her head from the equipment to see exactly what the Rift had delivered to them this time.
Her initial impression had been of multitude pinpoints of light, as if the snow itself had come alive and shining, stark and strangely beautiful. Now, peering through the icy windscreen, she could see that the snow was still falling, spiralling down to settle where it would, and the lights were something different, something separate, something that wasn't simply falling but instead....
"You know, I think I'm definitely tending towards 'not dangerous' on this one." Jack laughed and killed the engine, throwing open the cabin door and leaning out to gaze around in clear delight. "Would you just look at that?"
Penny looped the tracker's carrying strap carefully over her shoulder and followed as Jack jumped down to the frozen ground. The truck lay almost broadside across the snowbound road, blocking the path of any foolish enough to be out in this weather, and Penny nearly fell as her foot caught in an icy rut thrown up by their abrupt halt. A hand on her arm kept her upright and she smiled nervous thanks up at Jack....
And then she saw and all thoughts of caution evaporated into utter wonder.
Above them, all around them, tiny lights danced amongst the snowflakes, fine points of brilliant white fire sketching patterns through the frozen air. The trees rose, tall and skeletal, to either side of the pale ribbon of road, their weighted branches meeting overhead in a patchwork of leafless limbs, and every twig, every knot, every crack and every crevice was picked out in shining needlepoint for a good fifty yards around.
It was, without doubt, quite the most beautiful thing that Penny had ever seen.
"Well, bugger me," Frank breathed as he joined them, gazing up at the starry arch of branches high above their heads. "This is what we've been chasing?"
"Looks that way." Jack thrust his hands into his pockets and tipped his head back, watching the lights as they drifted around them, occasionally darting in and then away again, as if examining these uninvited newcomers. "Penny?"
"What?" she asked, her breath misting in the frozen and gleaming air, then realised that she still had the tracker. "Oh!" She fumbled with it for a few moments, squinting at the readings. "I... yes. Yes." She laughed in relief and delight. "This is all there is."
"What are they?" Frank asked, enthralled. "You're sure they're not "
"Not dangerous," Jack said with certainty. "They're just... here."
"Doing what?"
"Hibernating." Penny rubbed at her nose, trying to get some feeling back into it. "My Uncle Morris has a farm there are these flies that appear from nowhere every autumn and crawl in everywhere in his south barn, get into all the little nooks and crannies to sleep until spring. Just like these." She nodded to where the animated sparks had settled onto and into the gnarled bark of the beech trees. "It's cold, so they're hibernating."
"And glowing," Frank noted. "Not too big on camouflage, whatever they are."
"Time for a closer look." Jack reached out, cupping his gloved hands around one of the dancing points of light before it could flit away. Penny watched as he drew it close, peering between his fingers... then frowning and opening his hands to reveal something small and round and glassy and barely flickering in his palm. Looking closer, she could see a spherical, translucent body with three small round balls eyes? and what might be a short beak at one end, with a trio of long, gleaming filaments protruding from the other. Diaphanous membranes, like tiny cellophane wings, ran from between the apparent eyes down to the triple tails, trembling delicately against glove leather. The thing was barely the size of a bee, delicate and beautiful and
The filaments twitched, curled, and the light flickered out with a sudden finality, leaving the creature little more than a crystal bead in Jack's hand.
"It's dead?" Penny couldn't keep the dismay from her voice.
"Looks like you were half right." Jack sighed and awkwardly fumbled a sample pouch from his pocket, tipping the tiny corpse into it. "They're settling in to wait for conditions to improve, all right, but from the way this one reacted to being warmed up even slightly, I don't think they're hibernating. I think they're aestivating."
Frank stamped his feet in the snow, tucking his hands under his armpits. "They're what?"
"Aestivating it's too hot for them," Jack told him, tucking the pouch away again. "Some desert rodents do the same thing sleep through the hottest part of the year, instead of the coldest. With these...." He chuckled softly, his gaze growing distant. "There are worlds out there where no human can walk without a high-end exosuit; worlds with mountain ranges of ammonia ice and frozen quartz, every surface a prism, a mirror, catching and reflecting light every which way." He shrugged. "Believe it or not, our little friends here are camouflaged where they come from, a swarm like this is more than enough to dazzle any predator."
Penny looked up, trying to imagine the world that Jack described, the world that these tiny alien fireflies had lost forever. "Poor things," she said sadly as they danced around her head. "They think it's high summer and even the heat from our gloves can kill them...."
"So what do we do with them?" Frank asked. "Just wait 'til spring?"
"Pretty much." Jack trudged through the snow to the back of the truck, dropping the tailgate and vanishing within for a few moments, emerging with a box of glass collection jars. "Here we'll collect what we can for the archives. Should be able to sweep some off the undergrowth easily enough." He handed them a jar each. "The rest won't last long and if our getting here was anything to go by it's unlikely they'll have too many visitors before they go."
"Let nature take its course." Frank nodded, then tipped his head back to gaze up at the shimmering branches once more. "Still, least we got to see them, even if we had to play Scott of the bloody Antarctic to get up here. Too much ugly comes through that Rift...."
"If some make it back to the Hub, maybe we could arrange something for them in the cryostore?" Penny suggested hopefully, blinking snowflakes from her lashes as she fumbled with the lid of her jar. "For study, I mean. Make sure they're harmless?"
Jack looked at her for a long moment, then smiled. "I'll radio ahead, get Elouise and Greg to set something up. We can pack a munitions case with snow, use that to insulate the jars in the back. Take some photos of the foliage too, if the camera hasn't frozen up again." He wrapped an arm around her shoulders, the half-hug awkward through their layers of wool. "It's not often we get this, is it? A little bit of beauty amidst the grey of a dismal age the least we can do is share it with the others, right?"
Penny leaned into him, feeling suddenly tearful. "Yes," she said, her voice cracking a little, and she cleared her throat hastily. In truth, it wasn't that she wanted to share so much as that she simply wanted this moment to last, this reminder that there were glories in the universe as well as horrors... but even beneath the vests and the jumpers and the fur hat and the three pairs of thick socks she wore, she was so cold that her very bones ached, her extremities numb and her lips chapped and sore. "Yes," she said again, watching as Frank, his scarf still firmly wrapped around nose and mouth, carefully shook a shining bracken frond into his jar. "It's beautiful. So beautiful...."
"Yeah, but frostbite isn't. My toes'll grow back yours won't!" Jack gave her shoulders a brief squeeze and released her, grinning as she looked up at him. "Come on, we need to get moving, get back to the Hub. You thought getting up here was fun? Bertha's going to have gravity on her side on the return trip and I'd rather not let it get too icy before we risk those hills again...."
"Of course." Penny nodded and forced herself away from him, crouching beside a half-buried hawthorn to gently tap gleaming points of light into their chill glass prison. They were so tiny, so brilliant, so sadly doomed by the world they now found themselves in....
She glanced back at Jack ageless, immortal Jack who would outlive them all, human or otherwise and pushed that thought aside. In her heart, she wanted to think that the memory of this one frozen and glorious evening might be something to look back on in her old age, but she had been a part of Torchwood long enough that she couldn't fool herself into thinking she would ever see her dotage.
But if she had just one year left to her or fifty, she would remember this.
The snow fell and night drew in and two quite alien worlds brushed feather-light against one another, the inhabitants of each at the very limits of their endurance. Breaths misting and fingers freezing, caught up in the sheer wonder of the moment, Penny and Frank and Jack took their samples and gathered their memories as a thousand thousand tiny alien beasts, as bright and as brilliant as stars fallen to earth, danced amongst the snowflakes and swarmed in the bare and broken canopy overhead.

Make Your Own Dosas and Idlis With the Help of Dosa Place!
The picture says it all, ¿qué no? But there's more to the sign after the jump.
You can buy dosa and idli batter at any Indian grocery, but you should get it from the fine folks at Dosa Place. This picture was taken at their original Tustin location, off Red Hill Avenue, but I'm sure you can also order the batter at their other Tustin location, off 17th Street. Dosa Place, after all, makes the best dosas and idlis (you might know the dosa, but the idli is a bit more rarefied despite its humble status as a big orb of slightly musky flour) in the county. I'm not a cook like Dave and Shuji, but we'd love to hear feedback from someone who buys their flour...keep us posted!
