The Verdict Is In
I saw Dr. C today for my monthly exam and chemo. It was also scan result day, and I could tell by all the questions the nurse had for me that my results were not good. Dr. C was very sober and informed me that I have one spot that grew (the one near my liver), one spot that decreased in size, and the rest stayed the same. Personally, that feels like a bit of a win (especially since my CA125 was down from last month), but Dr. C insists that it means the Doxil is not working, and she's the expert. She also says that I am not taking my skin condition (which is currently in horrific shape, and I'm in the middle of yet another flare-up) seriously enough and that it means that the toxicity of Doxil is more detrimental to my body than helpful for the cancer.
I am beginning a new regimen tonight, but it will be a twice daily pill instead of a monthly infusion. She says it would have been her next choice for me, and it also allows me to pursue clinical trials. The side effects *should* be minimal.
I have mixed feelings about this. In one sense, it feels strange to come home without chemo. But it also feels freeing to know that I should be feeling better soon. If I allowed the fear to creep in, I could definitely be afraid of what's to come knowing that yet another drug did not work. I could be very afraid of the clinical trial process and what the side effects and long days of testing will look like.
But, for now, I'm going to focus on the fact that the next month should be easier, my skin should start to recover, and I should feel well for the upcoming spring break and visit from Becky, William, and Xavier.
We took advantage of the afternoon not spent in a chemo chair and had lunch at Five Points Pizza - delicious - and went car shopping. Brian's poor vehicle is held together by duct tape (literally) and has no heat or air - it is well past time to replace it.

I have been hearing about using copper vessels for making jam and jelly. Is there an advantage over conventional stainless pans? I live very close to Santa Clara del Cobre, where what seems like the entire population is engaged in either making or selling all kinds of copper products, from small decorative pieces to huge kettles for making carnitas and everything in between . So I could easily convert from my traditional cookware--stainless--to copper if there's a real advantage.
Thanks for your advice/ideas.

I'm trying to make a Roasted Poblano and Black Bean Enchilada recipe and I don't know if the tomatillo cream sauce will be freezer-friendly. Basically I process the following ingredients in a food processor to make the cream sauce. I plan on freezing the sauce in ice-cube trays for individual servings. The sauce will then be thawed and spread on a baking dish and also used to top the enchiladas and cook in a 400 degree oven. Thanks! INGREDIENTS: -26 ounces canned tomatillos, drained -1 onion -1/2 cup cilantro leaves -1/3 cup vegetable broth -1/4 cup heavy cream -1 tbsp vegetable oil -3 garlic cloves -1 tbsp lime juice -1 tsp sugar -1 tsp salt

The basic formula for these cakes was developed by the wife of a mayonnaise salesman in an effort to help him out. I did a bit of research, and have found many variations. Early variants generally involve using less cocoa, which I cannot recommend. Later variants involve using cold water instead of boiling, adding salt, and additional leaveners. I personally do not feel that any additional salt is needed, as mayonnaise and that famous, tangy brand of salad dressing (sometimes the label just says 'Dressing') both contain a fair amount of salt. If you are using homemade mayonnaise or a low sodium product, an eighth teaspoon of salt may boost the flavor a bit. And, of course, somewhere along the way fans who prefer a certain salad dressing over mayonnaise started using it to make this cake. Nowadays, the Hellman's website has a different formula -one with added eggs and baking powder. I have not tried this newer formulation.
Some versions of this recipe specify sifted cake flour. This will result in a very light cake with virtually no structural integrity, due to the paucity of eggs in this recipe compared to a regular cake. Cupcakes made this way give beautifully light results. However, every time I try to make a traditional 8" double layer cake with cake flour, I experience collapse. I recommend AP flour or at least a mix of cake and pastry flour.
I have never made this with a gluten-free flour replacer. This recipe does not have very much structural integrity and as such does not make a good candidate for a gluten-free cake.
I have made this cake many times, the type of sandwich spread you choose will affect the outcome. Made with mayonnaise, the cake has a good chocolate flavor and moistness. Made with that famous, tangy, off-white salad dressing that gets used as a sandwich spread, the cake has a subtle bit of extra brightness to the flavor. If one chooses to use a vegan mayonnaise, the result is tasty but lacking a little in structure; I would bake this in a square pan and frost and serve from the pan.
The cocoa you use will also affect the flavor. For a classic, homey flavor use a supermarket brand of cocoa. To add a little sophistication, use better, artisan type cocoa and use chocolate extract instead of the vanilla extract.
Supposedly, the traditional frosting for this cake should have a caramel flavor. Look for one where you actually caramelize some sugar first. Modern recipes for the icing seem like weak imitations to me; using brown sugar as the main flavor instead of true caramel.
Chocolate Mayonnaise or Salad Dressing Cake
makes enough for two 8" round pans, or a 9" square (about 7 cups of batter)
2 ounces/56g unsweetened, non-alkalized cocoa
1 cup/236g boiling water
1 teaspoon/4g regular strength vanilla extract
3/4 cup/162g mayonnaise, vegan mayonnaise, or salad dressing (the tangy, off-white, sandwich spread type dressing)
10.5ounces/300g all-purpose flour
7 ounces/200g sugar
0.35ounce/10g baking soda
Preheat your oven to 350°.
Grease or spray two 8" round pans or an equivalent volume square or rectangle.
Place the cocoa in a medium (4-5 cup) bowl. Add the hot water and stir with a fork to break up any clumps. Allow to cool down a little, then add the vanilla extract and the mayonnaise or salad dressing spread. Beat well to eliminate lumps. In the bowl of an electric mixer or larger regular bowl if making by hand, sift in the flour and add the sugar and baking soda. Mix the dry ingredients to distribute evenly. Slowly beat in the cocoa mixture. Mix until the batter has an even color. Pour immediately into the pans. If making two 8" rounds, weigh them to ensure they contain equal amounts.
Bake for approximately 20 minutes, or until the center of the top springs back when touched lightly. (The toothpick test does NOT work well on this moist cake!) Allow the cake to cool a little and shrink from the sides of the pan before removing. Removal is easier while still a little warm.
Good with or without frosting.
Good beginner cake for kids to make.

Prawn Balchao is a very famous Goan pickle that has a sweet, spicy and tangy flavor to it.
For the balchao paste you will need:
> 8-10 kashmiri red chillies
> 4-5 Byadagi red chillies
> 1/2 tsp cumin seeds
> 1/2 tsk turmeric powder
> 1 tsp peppercorn
> 6 garlic cloves
> 1/2 tsp cloves
> 1 inch cinnamon stick
> Vinegar
First you will need to marinate about 250 grams of prawns in some turmeric powder and salt. After 15 minutes deep fry them in oil till them become golden n crisp. Set them aside and add tsp vinegar to them and let it sit for 1 hour. Now, make a paste of all the ingredients mentioned under the balchao paste and make sure not to add any water. In the same pan used for fryin the prawns, add in some chopped garlic and ginger. Lightly fry them and immediately add one whole chopped onion. Next, add the balchao paste amd let it cook for 2-3 minutes. Add in the prawns and cook until the gravy thickens. Finally add 1 tsp sugar and salt according to your taste. Allow it to cool. This can be stored in a glass jar. Let this mature for 1-3 weeks before its use. Make sure never to use water at any stage. This can be enjoyed with a simple lentil curry and rice.

It is no secret that we are huge fans of the slap bracelet. Those shiny noise makers might have turned out to be a little bit of a laceration hazard, but that didn't stop us from loving them. (What can we say? We live on the edge.)
Still, we're adults now, and those babies were child's play. But, lucky for us all, wrap bracelets can serve as a perfect, grown-up stand-in. They have all the wrap-around pizazz of the original with an added sophistication factor — but, unfortunately, these don't come free with your Cracker Jack purchase.

Vickie Beebout of Porterville Calif. thought she was doing a favor for a man she met on the Internet. She thought she was in an online relationship and was engaged.
Angela Cater of Savannah, Ga. was in the exact same situation.
"Let's get married. You know, I really love you. I miss you," says Cater of her correspondence with her "fiance." "It's mushy, mushy all the time."
It turns out Angela and Vickie were talking to the same man — an international Internet thief. Using someone else's picture and calling himself "Paul Desmond," he had tricked them into accepting all his stuff, purchased with stolen credit cards, and had asked them to forward it to a store overseas.
This was the photo Vickie and Angela received. Can you identify the man in this photo? Let us know.

Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's own words have now become a victim of Iran's massive online censorship infrastructure.
According to Radio Free Europe (RFE), last week Khamenei issued a "fatwa," or religious edict, confirming that anti-filtering tools and software are illegal in Iran. The decree came in response to a question by Mehr News (Google Translate), a semi-official news agency, which had asked for clarification on the ruling due to the fact that, as journalists, employees sometimes need to access blocked websites and other non-authorized information.
Khamenei, according to a translation by RFE, replied: "In general, the use of antifiltering software is subject to the laws and regulations of the Islamic republic, and it is not permissible to violate the law."
However, his own use of the word "antifiltering" apparently triggered Iran's own filtering system, making Khamenei's words inaccessible to most Iranians.
RFE also reported that this filtering episode prompted Tabnak, a conservative news website, to respond: "The filtering of a [religious] order is so ugly for the executive [branch] that it can bring into question the whole philosophy of filtering."
Iran, of course, has a notorious surveillance and filtration system in place—just last month, the Islamic Republic published a "Request for Information" for furthering its so-called "halal Internet."

What Will Lady Gaga Wear As a Character on 'The Simpsons?'
Lady Gaga will appear on the season finale of 'The Simpsons' on FOX on Sunday, May 20. She will play herself and wear –get this!? -- 18 outfits. Art will certainly imitate life when Gaga roars into Springfield. FOX has released an image of Gaga from her episode exclusively via EW and she looks fashion forward, even as a cartoon.
Gaga is wearing white platforms, a short blue and white dress and a tiara perched atop her head of big, blonde waves. She looks faboo. Plotwise, she takes it upon herself to cheer up Lisa Simpson, the voice of reason on the show and now, a social outcast.
What lesson will Gaga teach Lisa and other Springfieldians? We'll tune in and find out, but more importantly, what assortment of amazing shoes, wigs and ensembles will Mother Monster wear? That's the real reason we'll be glued to the TV, taking in the other 17 garments she will sport on the show.
We''re going to venture a guess that Gaga will give Lisa fashion advice and perhaps lend her something from her vast, expansive and fabulous designer outfit-filled suitcase, too. We're predicting little Lisa will get a Gaga makeover.

A day after he insisted he had no intention of stepping down, Bob Diamond resigned as head of Barclays Bank effective immediately, bowing to pressure from lawmakers outraged over the manipulation of Libor rates on his watch. Questions arose over what regulators knew and when they knew it as reports of whistleblowers from within the bank itself surfaced, and political leaders promised a criminal investigation.
Bloomberg reported Tuesday that Diamond, CEO of Barclays, was the second to go after Chairman Marcus Agius tendered his own resignation on Monday. Agius was to remain in place to insure an orderly succession, and now he will become full-time chairman to search for a replacement for Diamond.
Other heads may roll as the scandal unfolds; COO Jerry del Missier, appointed only last month, may follow Diamond out the door, according to a Reuters report. Del Missier was reported to be close to Diamond, and to have helped his boss build up the Barclays Capital investment bank.
Diamond had insisted that he would remain to implement whatever reforms were necessary to erase the image of Libor rigging. But political pressure, according to a BBC report, became too great, and Diamond instead announced his resignation. In a statement, he said, "I am deeply disappointed that the impression created by the events announced last week about what Barclays and its people stand for could not be further from the truth."
Despite an emergency board meeting Friday night, during which it was decided that neither Agius nor Diamond need resign, Agius took it upon himself to become the focus of criticism of the bank and step down, said Robert Peston, business editor at the BBC.
But instead of quieting the storm, Agius's departure had little effect and political leaders continued to call not just for Diamond's departure but for broader investigations. Both Agius and Diamond are scheduled to testify before Parliament during the week.
Said Peston, "[O]ne Barclays source tells me [Diamond] felt hounded out by MPs. He felt the government's planned parliamentary inquiry about standards in banking would be all about him, as would a longer judicial investigation demanded by Labour."
But that wasn't all, continued Peston; investors were out for blood as well: "[T]he price they were demanding for him to stay and clean up the bank was that he should surrender some of the vast rewards he had accumulated from a culture at the bank now acknowledged to be flawed—and which investors hold him partly responsible for."
The price was high: "[E]ither a clawback of past bonuses and spoils from long-term incentive schemes, or the surrender of what he could earn from long term incentive plans that haven't yet vested." Peston cited the consultancy Manifest as estimating that toll at as much as 16 million pounds ($25.080 million).
"Diamond's position had clearly become untenable," Gary Greenwood, a banking analyst at Shore Capital, said in the report. "While the company says that it will consider internal and external candidates to fill the role of CEO, we believe that it is of paramount importance that an external appointment is made in order to clean up the image of the company."
Christopher Wheeler, a London-based banking analyst at Mediobanca SpA, was quoted saying, "There comes a point in time when the board says enough is enough and it became very personal in terms of the criticism. It allows the bank to draw a line. The priority now is to find an appropriate chief executive who has not been affected by all this."
Regulators in Britain may have missed or ignored opportunities to uncover the rigging scheme much earlier in its history. According to a Reuters report, Bank of England (BoE) and Financial Services Authority (FSA) officials and even the British Banking Authority (BBA) were told at least five times since 2007 that there were problems with the way the rate was set.
During a meeting in autumn of 2007 among officials from the BoE, the FSA and the BBA and executives from the world's largest banks, attendees discussed the fact that Libor rates were lower than the actual rates at which banks borrowed money. The minutes said in part, "Libor indices needed to be of the highest quality given their important role as a benchmark."
Regulatory documents filed last week by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and the Justice Department in the U.S. and the FSA in the U.K. showed that questions about how Libor was set were discussed quietly even as the rate-fixing proceeded. According to the FSA, "individuals at Barclays raised concerns with the FSA, the Bank of England, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and the BBA about the accuracy of Libor submissions."
A BoE spokesman denied that the central bank had been at all aware of any manipulation, saying, "It is nonsense to suggest that the Bank of England was aware of any impropriety in the setting of Libor. If we had been aware of attempts to manipulate Libor, we would have treated them very seriously."
Regardless of who knew what, British officials have launched a parliamentary inquiry and are also calling for criminal investigations. Prime Minister David Cameron announced the parliamentary inquiry into the U.K. banking industry on Monday, saying in the report, This committee will be able to take evidence under oath; it will have full access to papers, officials and ministers. It will be able to start immediately, it will be accountable to this house, it will be able to make sure we get to the truth quickly so this can never happen again."
Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne said that the FSA would conduct an inquiry as well, and said that people had asked him that if "fraud is a crime in ordinary business, why couldn't it be so in banking?"
Ed Miliband, leader of the opposition Labour Party, said the public wouldn't be satisfied with "politicians investigating bankers" and called again for a broader, judge-led inquiry.

Technology is vital to all metal sectors, but its not just breakthroughs in production and processes that are important to the bottom line. Information technology has become just as significant, and an array of hardware, software, systems analysis mechanisms and data-analysis tools are available to help metal companies make better decisions.
However, not all companiesor even sectors of the industryhave been quick to embrace such new tools. While its true that immediate and short-term priorities need attention, especially in todays nearly unprecedented economic climate, ignoring IT developments is a long-term strategic error. The companies that will not only survive but thrive will find ways to include IT investments in their planning and budgeting.
Crowe Horwath LLP, in collaboration with AMM, undertook a survey to examine the role of enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, which integrate information across entire organizations, in the metals industry. The companies participating in the survey included producers, processors, service centers and recyclers, and ranged in size from those with annual revenue of less than $50 million to those raking in more than $1 billion. The report that came out of the survey is based on 94 online responses from senior executives at U.S. companies as well as interviews with senior executives at a dozen companies. An overview of the survey starts on page 24. The data present a snapshot of the state of ERP systems, including the strengths and weaknesses executives perceive in their current systems. Tony Barnes, senior staff consultant in the metals practice of Crowe Horwath, says the time is ripe for the metals industry to invest in technology. This is an observation the industry should heed.
In the list of top service centers by revenue in the August/September issue, the top product group for ninth-ranked Steel Technologies LLC should have been shown as carbon flat-rolled. Stainless steel was correctly shown as the companys secondary sales line. The bar/tubing/structurals category was incorrectly listed as a component of Steel Technologies business.
Also, the top product group for 39th-ranked Cambridge-Lee Inc. should have been shown as copper and brass.

Wystan Hugh Auden (21 February 1907 – 29 September 1973), Anglo-American poet, was a long-time friend of J.R.R. Tolkien and the two corresponded frequently.
Auden and Tolkien
- "I am [...] very deeply in Auden's debt in recent years. His support of me and interest in my work has been one of my chief encouragements. He gave me very good reviews, notices and letters from the beginning when it was by no means a popular thing to do. He was, in fact, sneered at for it."

Alcohol remains drug of choice as abuse treatment increases
THE true extent of Australia's battle with the bottle has been revealed in an alarming Federal Government health report, which shows the number of people requiring treatment for alcohol abuse has significantly increased in the past decade.
Data released by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare on Sunday suggested alcohol was still Australia's drug of choice, responsible for almost half of what medical experts describe as "government-funded treatment episodes" from 2010-11.
In the same time frame, more than 150,000 alcohol and other drug treatment episodes were recorded across the country, almost 5000 more than the previous year.More males than females required treatment but alcohol remained the most common vice for both sexes in all states other than Tasmania, where cannabis use was equally as popular.
The institute's spokesman Justin Harvey said about 96% of clients were receiving treatment for their own drug use rather than someone else's.
He said the institute was also concerned about the over-representation of alcohol abuse in the Aboriginal and Torres Trait Islander community.
Compared with their proportion in the general population (about 2%), indigenous clients made up about 13% of the clientele.
They are also more likely to require treatment at a younger age - about 51% were under 30 compared to 38% for non-Indigenous clients.
Alcohol was listed as the number one concern in 51% of indigenous cases.
Hard drugs like heroin and methamphetamines have lost their appeal according to the report, but cannabis abuse came in a close second to alcohol.
"After alcohol, cannabis was the most common principal drug of concern at 22%, followed by amphetamines and heroin both at 9%," Mr Harvey said.
"In recent years, there has been a steady decline in heroin as a principal drug of concern in treatment episodes, down from 18% in 2003-04."
Mr Harvey said counselling was still the number one treatment at 41%, followed by withdrawal management at 16% and "assessment only" at 14%.

The Muppets Valentine Show aired on ABC on January 30, 1974. It was one of two pilots produced during the planning stages for The Muppet Show. The other pilot was The Muppet Show: Sex and Violence, which aired in 1975.
In this half-hour Valentine's Day special featuring the Muppets and special guest star Mia Farrow, host Wally has writer's block -- he can't think of material for the show that represents the true meaning of love. He asks the other Muppets and Mia for assistance, with mixed results.
- The Muppets perform the opening number, "Love Is a Simple Thing."
- Wally, George the Janitor, Mildred and Brewster discuss love.
- Kermit the Frog tells the story of his doomed love affair with Miss Mousey, singing "Froggy Went A Courtin'."
- Mia Farrow enters, and meets the Muppets.
- Mia and Thog perform a duet, "Real Live Girl."
- Mia sings "Believe Me If All Those Endearing Young Charms" to Rufus.
- Kermit reports live from the planet Koozebane, where aliens are about to perform the Galley-o-hoop-hoop.
- Mia discovers that George loves his mop.
- Mia and the Muppets sing "We Got Love."

If you have any questions please feel free to contact us via email at email@example.com or via any of our social media platforms.
Q. An item I like is out of stock. Will you be getting anymore?
A. The great thing about shopping with a local boutique is you don't end up with the same items as 1000 other people, as you would buying from a big chain store. So, unless an item is flying off the shelves, we do not restock items. Sorry ladies. Best thing to do is sign up for a Restock Alert.
Q. How many items in each size do you normally carry?
A. We normally carry two (2) in each size available to us from our designers. From time to time, we will have access to only one of each size; in which case, we will let you know in the item description (*limited supply in stock).
Q. I am unsure of what size to buy, how can I get help with sizing.
A. We have created a Size Chart for reference. It is a general sizing chart. As size can vary depending on style and brand. If you need further assistance with sizing, please contact us via any of our social media platforms or via email at email@example.com

Kid-Friendly Naptime Chef Shrimp Recipe
Dinnertime Crunch: The Naptime Chef's Spicy Citrus Grilled Shrimp
Our tasty and easy Dinnertime Crunch series continues with celebrity chefs and restaurateurs sharing their favorite 30-minute weeknight dinners that help Mom and Dad spend more time with the kids each night. Today's recipe comes from Kelsey Banfield, The Naptime Chef.
A harried schoolnight dinner routine can easily be likened to life with a newborn — everybody's hungry and fussy and there's no food on the table. That's why I've always loved the premise around The Naptime Chef. What started out as Kelsey Banfield's blog about meals she could prepare during baby Daphne's naptime and just pop into the oven at dinnertime has morphed into The Naptime Chef. Complete with stopwatch precision to help moms figure out how much they can prepare depending on their own tot's nap length, it can easily be incorporated into any busy parent's life. Simply do the prep work in the morning while everyone's getting dressed or during homework time, and a meal can be ready when you are. Kelsey's sharing her spicy citrus grilled shrimp with us, which she says "can easily be prepared at any time during the day and grilled up in no time for dinner."
Keep reading for Kelsey's recipe.
Spicy Citrus Grilled Shrimp
From The Naptime Chef by Kelsey Banfield
- 20 large shrimp, shelled and deveined with tails left on
3/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
6 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- Prepare 4 skewers: If using wooden skewers, be sure to soak them in water for 5 minutes before adding the shrimp so that they do not burn on the grill. Place 5 shrimp on each skewer so that they are just touching, but not too close together.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, cayenne pepper, and salt. Pour the mixture into a large plastic freezer bag (1 gallon size) and add the shrimp skewers. Swish the mixture around the shrimp in the bag so that they are totally covered. Seal and place the bag inside a second bag or on a dish in the refrigerator and marinate the shrimp for at least 4 hours.
- Heat the grill or a stovetop grill pan to medium heat and add the marinated shrimp skewers. Grill the skewers for about 3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.
Makes 4 servings
Make-Ahead Tips: This recipe doubles or triples easily. If making a large batch, pour the marinade into a large baking dish and submerge the shrimp to marinate on the skewers. Then cover it with plastic and refrigerate them until right before grilling.

Versions and Availability
▶ Display Softenv Keys for quantum-espresso on all clusters
|Softenv Key
▶ Softenv FAQ?
Since Fall 2018, SoftEnv has no longer been supported by HPC@LSU, and it is very unlikely that it will be brought back in the future. Therefore, all HPC users should use Modules to add/remove software packages in their work environment from now on. For advice or additional information, firstname.lastname@example.com
A user may choose between using /bin/bash and /bin/tcsh. Details about each shell follows.
System resource file: /etc/profile
When one access the shell, the following user files are read in if they exist (in order):
- ~/.bash_profile (anything sent to STDOUT or STDERR will cause things like rsync to break)
- ~/.bashrc (interactive login only)
- ~/.profile
When a user logs out of an interactive session, the file ~/.bash_logout is executed if it exists.
The default value of the environmental variable, PATH, is set automatically using SoftEnv. See below for more information.
The file ~/.cshrc is used to customize the user's environment if his login shell is /bin/tcsh.
SoftEnv is a utility that is supposed to help users manage complex user environments with potentially conflicting application versions and libraries.
System Default Path
When a user logs in, the system /etc/profile or /etc/csh.cshrc (depending on login shell, and mirrored from csm:/cfmroot/etc/profile) calls /usr/local/packages/softenv-1.6.2/bin/use.softenv.sh to set up the default path via the SoftEnv database.
SoftEnv looks for a user's ~/.soft file and updates the variables and paths accordingly.
Viewing Available Packages
The command softenv will provide a list of available packages. The listing will look something like:
$ softenv These are the macros available: * @default These are the keywords explicitly available: +amber-8 Applications: 'Amber', version: 8 Amber is a +apache-ant-1.6.5 Ant, Java based XML make system version: 1.6. +charm-5.9 Applications: 'Charm++', version: 5.9 Charm++ +default this is the default environment...nukes /etc/ +essl-4.2 Libraries: 'ESSL', version: 4.2 ESSL is a sta +gaussian-03 Applications: 'Gaussian', version: 03 Gaussia ... some stuff deleted ...
Managing SoftEnv
The file ~/.soft in the user's home directory is where the different packages are managed. Add the +keyword into your .soft file. For instance, ff one wants to add the Amber Molecular Dynamics package into their environment, the end of the .soft file should look like this:
To update the environment after modifying this file, one simply uses the resoft command:
% resoft
The command soft can be used to manipulate the environment from the command line. It takes the form:
$ soft add/delete +keyword
Using this method of adding or removing keywords requires the user to pay attention to possible order dependencies. That is, best results require the user to remove keywords in the reverse order in which they were added. It is handy to test out individual keys, but can lead to trouble if changing multiple keys. Changing the .soft file and issuing the resoft is the recommended way of dealing with multiple changes.
▶ Display Module Names for quantum-espresso on all clusters.
▶ Module FAQ?
The information here is applicable to LSU HPC and LONI systems.
A user may choose between using /bin/bash and /bin/tcsh. Details about each shell follows.
System resource file: /etc/profile
When one access the shell, the following user files are read in if they exist (in order):
- ~/.bash_profile (anything sent to STDOUT or STDERR will cause things like rsync to break)
- ~/.bashrc (interactive login only)
- ~/.profile
When a user logs out of an interactive session, the file ~/.bash_logout is executed if it exists.
The default value of the environmental variable, PATH, is set automatically using Modules. See below for more information.
The file ~/.cshrc is used to customize the user's environment if his login shell is /bin/tcsh.
Modules is a utility which helps users manage the complex business of setting up their shell environment in the face of potentially conflicting application versions and libraries.
Default Setup
When a user logs in, the system looks for a file named .modules in their home directory. This file contains module commands to set up the initial shell environment.
Viewing Available Modules
The command
$ module avail
displays a list of all the modules available. The list will look something like:
--- some stuff deleted --- velvet/1.2.10/INTEL-14.0.2 vmatch/2.2.2 ---------------- /usr/local/packages/Modules/modulefiles/admin ----------------- EasyBuild/1.11.1 GCC/4.9.0 INTEL-140-MPICH/3.1.1 EasyBuild/1.13.0 INTEL/14.0.2 INTEL-140-MVAPICH2/2.0 --- some stuff deleted ---
The module names take the form appname/version/compiler, providing the application name, the version, and information about how it was compiled (if needed).
Managing Modules
Besides avail, there are other basic module commands to use for manipulating the environment. These include:
add/load mod1 mod2 ... modn . . . Add modules rm/unload mod1 mod2 ... modn . . Remove modules switch/swap mod . . . . . . . . . Switch or swap one module for another display/show . . . . . . . . . . List modules loaded in the environment avail . . . . . . . . . . . . . . List available module names whatis mod1 mod2 ... modn . . . . Describe listed modules
The -h option to module will list all available commands.
About the Software
Quantum-ESPRESSO is an integrated suite of Open-Source computer codes for electronic-structure calculations and materials modeling at the nanoscale. It is based on density-functional theory, plane waves, and pseudopotentials.
▶ Quantum Espresso Tutorial at 2011 DFT Workshop?
Instructions prepared by Shobhana Narasimhan, with the help of Alex Pacheco.
Note that the following color code has been used in this instruction sheet:
Broad headings are in red.
File names are in magenta.
Phrases to be typed into the command line are in blue.
Input parameters are in dark green.
A very brief reminder of useful linux commands:
- cp A B copies file A to file B
- mv A B moves file A to file B
- mkdir C creates a directory named C
- ls C lists the names of the files and sub-directories contained in directory C
- vi A or gedit A are some of the many ways in which you can open the file A for reading and/or editing.
- Adding an ampersand & at the end of your command will make it run in the background, so that you can continue to issue other commands while the original one is still running.
This exercise is meant as an introduction to how to perform simple scf calculations using the pw package of Quantum ESPRESSO. You will perform calculations on Si (an insulator – well, actually a semiconductor) and Al (a metal).
First, you will first perform simple scf (self-consistent field) calculations on silicon.
- First switch over to an interactive process on the machine eric:
- qsub -X -I -l walltime=3:00:00,nodes=1:ppn=4 -q priority -A loni_train2011
- Find out which processor you have been assigned:
- echo $HOSTNAME > $HOME/hostfile
(Note: the above two steps are particular to running interactive jobs on the eric cluster at LSU, if you are running, for example on a PC back home, you can skip steps like these.)
- Go to the directory /home/etrain00/qetutorial
- You will see the following files:
- qetut_instructions.html this file!
- Si.sample.in this is a sample input file, for a primitive Si cell containing 2 atoms.
- Si.sample.sh this is a sample shell script that you can use (optionally) to run a series of calculations on Si.
- Si.pbe-rrkj.UPF this is a pseudopotential file for Si.
- Al.sample.in this is a sample input file, for a primitive Al cell.
- Al.sample.sh this is a sample shell script that you can use (optionally) to run a series of calculations on Al.
- Al.pz-vbc.UPF this is pseudopotential file for Al.
(Note that usually when you have downloaded and compiled QE your pseudopotentials will be in a separate directory called pseudo; but for simplicity, for this exercise I have put the pseudopotentials in the same working directory).
- Create the qetutorial directory
- mkdir -p /work/$USER/qetutorial
- Copy all the files that you see here into /work/$USER/qetutorial on the machine you are working on.
- cp /home/etrain00/qetutorial/* /work/$USER/qetutorial
- Change to this directory and from now on work only in /work/$USER/qetutorial!!!
- cd /work/$USER/qetutorial
- Make a temporary subdirectory tmp in which you will store large files (wavefunctions, etc:)
- mkdir tmp
- Open and read the sample file Si.sample.in
- For each calculation that you will run, you can use Si.sample.in as a template that you can copy to another file and then edit. Alternatively, you can use shell scripts to automate this process.
- Note that we have specified that large files will be written in the subdirectory tmp
- Note also that we have specified that the pseudopotential is in the same working directory (usually it is another directory whose name is supplied).
- Note that in the &controlnamelist, we have specified that we want to run an scf calculation.
- Silicon has the diamond structure. Note that we are using a (primitive) unit cell that corresponds to an fcc lattice, with 2 Si atoms in the atomic basis. Notice the values given for ibrav, nat, ntyp and ATOMIC_POSITIONS.
- In this file, the lattice constant celldm(1) has been set equal to 10.26 bohr = 5.43 Å, which is the experimental value.
- A 6×6×6 shifted Monkhorst-Pack k-point mesh has been used.
- The plane-wave cut-off for wavefunctions, ecutwfc has been set to 20 Ry. Since we are not using an ultrasoft pseudopotential, we are leaving ecutrho at the default value.
- Use Xcrysden to view the structure in the sample input file:
- xcrysden --pwi Si.sample.in
- Play around with xcrysden! Rotate the view, display the boundaries of the conventional cubic cell, etc.
- You can also use xcrysden to help answer questions like:
- How many atoms are contained in the conventional cubic cell?
- What is the coordination number of each atom?
- What is the nearest-neighbor distance?
- Run an scf calculation:
- The way to do this is:
- export espresso=/usr/local/packages/espresso/4.3.1/intel-11.1-mvapich-1.1
- mpirun -np 1 -machinefile $HOME/hostfile $espresso/bin/pw.x < input_filename > output_filename
- (The syntax of the above two lines is particular to running on eric. When you run a simple one-processor interactive job in general, you often just have to type $espresso/bin/pw.x < input_filename > output_filename , where $espresso is the directory where you have installed Quantum Espresso)
- So in this particular case, you will type:
- mpirun -np 1 -machinefile $HOME/hostfile $espresso/bin/pw.x < Si.sample.in > Si.sample.out
- Read the output, and answer, for example, the following questions:
- Was symmetry used to reduce the number of k-points from 6×6×6=216?
- How many scf iterations were performed before convergence was achieved?
- What is the final (converged) value for the total energy? (Note: you can find this by looking for an exclamation mark in the output file). For example, you can type:
- grep ! Si.sample.out
- Note: If you set verbosity = 'high' in the &control namelist, you will get additional information in your output file, e.g., about symmetries and occupation numbers.
- Now do convergence tests with respect to plane-wave cut-off:
- Find out how the total energy changes when you vary the plane wave cut-off ecutwfc between 10 and 30 Ry, in steps of 5 Ry. You can either do this by copying the sample file Si.sample.in to other input files and editing them, and running pw.x using each of these input files in turn, or by running the sample shell script Si.sample.sh
- Before running this shell script, do edit it to supply the information about the directory in which you have installed Quantum Espresso. Then:
- ./Si.sample.sh
- Now make a data file that contains the value of ecutwfc in the first column, and total energy in the second column. Remember that you can easily find the values of the total energy by searching for an exclamation mark, e.g., using the grep command
- Plot a graph of this data using your favorite plotting program (e.g., xmgrace or gnuplot).
- Does the total energy decrease monotonically as ecutwfc is increased?
- Decide what value of ecutwfc you are "happy" with. Fix the value of at this value of ecutwfc and now check convergence wrt BZ sampling....
- Now examine convergence with respect to Brillouin zone sampling:
- Fix the value of ecutwfc at whatever value you have decided is good enough. (Remember: differences in energy will converge at lower values of ecutwfc than the absolute value of the total energy!) I chose ecutwfc to be 20 Ry, but you can make whatever choice you want!
- Let the lattice constant celldm(1) emain at the experimental value.
- Vary the Monkhorst-Pack grid parameters nk1, nk2 and nk3.
- You can do this either by manually editing input files, or by modifying the script Si.sample.sh
- Use nk1=nk2=nk3= 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
- Leave the offset (shift) at k1=k2=k3 = 1.
- Run pw.x for each of the six input files you have made (either one by one, or using a shellscript)
- Remember: don"t overwrite output files before you extract data from them!
- Assemble a data file that contains how the total energy varies with nk1=nk2=nk3. The first column should contain the value of nk1 (or, if you prefer, the number of k-points generated and used), and the second column should contain the value of the total energy).
- Plot a graph of this data. Do you think that the total energy is converging as you increase the number of k-points?
- Note that the convergence wrt the number of k points need not necessarily be monotonic (but is it, in this case?)
- Now obtain the equilibrium lattice constant of Si:
- Fix values of ecutwfc and nk1=nk2=nk3.
- Make input files in which you vary the lattice constant, i.e., celldm(1) from 9.8 to 11.0 bohr, in steps of 0.2 bohr.
- Run these seven scf calculations.
- Assemble the results for the dependence of total energy on lattice constant in a data file, e.g., one called etotvsalat.dat (2 columns, the first containing the lattice constant in bohr, and the second containing total energy in Ry).
- Plot this data; compare your calculated value for lattice constant (obtained by just eyeballing the data or by doing a rough fit) with experiment.
- To do later today (in the tons of spare time you will undoubtedly have) – or you can do it now if you have the time:
- Fit this data to an equation of state by running
- mpirun -np 1 -machinefile $HOME/hostfile $espresso/bin/ev.x
When you run this, you will be prompted to supply:
- the units in which you have the lattice constants
- the type of Bravais lattice (note: using the name and not the ibrav number)
- which particular equation of state you want to use
(I usually use the 2nd Order Birch eq., but you can experiment with other choices too.)
- the name of the input file containing the data of lattice constant and total energy
- the name of the output file where you want the results of the fitting procedure
- From the output file you can get the values of the equilibrium lattice constant a0 and bulk modulus k0 as well as information about the quality of fit.
(At this stage, you might get some error messages on the screen, but ignore them, the ev.x program seems to run just fine....)
More optional stuff to do later on:
Repeat the calculations for Si using a conventional cubic cell instead of an fcc primitive cell.
Now switch over from Si to Al
- Open and read the sample file Al.sample.in
- Compared to your input files for Si (exercise above) there are two main differences:
- (i) Now nat = 1 instead of nat= 2, and accordingly there is only one Al atom at 0.0 0.0 0.0
- (ii) There are additional lines, saying that the occupation should be smeared, which type of smearing to use, and what value of degauss (smearing width) to use.
- Note that now we have set verbosity= 'high' in the &control namelist ; so that the code wll print out occupation numbers, etc.
- Use Xcrysden to view the structure in the sample file:
- xcrysden --pwi Al.sample.in &
- Run an scf calculation:
- mpirun -np 1 -machinefile $HOME/hostfile $espresso/bin/pw.x < Al.sample.in > Al.sample.out
- Read the output, and answer the following questions:
- How many bands were computed? How does this compare with the number of electrons?
- What is the Fermi energy?
- Now do convergence tests with respect to plane-wave cut-off:
- In principle, you should now run a series of calcuations with different values of ecutwfc (as you did for Si) and see at what value of ecutwfc your total energy has converged. However, to save time, let us assume that this has been done. Keep working with ecutwfc=12.
- Now do convergence tests with respect to Brillouin zone sampling and smearing width:
- We will simultaneously decide what k-point mesh (values of nk1,nk2, nk3) and the value of the smearing width (degauss) to use. For simplicity, let us assume now that we will only use the Marzari-Vanderbilt smearing.
- Loop over values of nk1,nk2, nk3 = 6 6 6, 8 8 8, 12 12 12, 16 16 16
- For each of these k-point meshes, loop over degauss ranging from 0.02 to 0.10 (at intervals chosen by you).
- Make input files of the form Al.degauss.*_kdiv.*.in (inserting the appropriate values of degauss and nk). In order to do this, you can either edit your input files manually, or use the shell script Al.sample.sh (If doing the latter, read the shell script carefully and see whether you need to insert additional values or lines).
- Run pw.x for each value of nk and degauss, either using the shell script :
- ./Al.sample.sh
- or a command of the form
- mpirun -np 1 -machinefile $HOME/hostfile $espresso/bin/pw.x < Al.degauss.<val>_kdiv.<val>.in > Al_degauss.<val>_kdiv.<val>.out
(of course, you should substitute the appropriate values).
- Plot a graph showing how the total energy varies with the number of k-points and the smearing width, using a plotting program of your choice.
- To use xmgrace, source /work/jalupo/grace/env.rc
The "true" converged result is obtained in the limit of zero smearing and an infinite number of k-points.
Based upon this, decide what values of nk1=nk2=nk3 and degauss you consider satisfactory.
(Note: you will have to achieve some sort of compromise between accuracy and computational time!)
- Stuff for you to do later on (or you can do it now if you have the time):
- Obtain the equilibrium lattice constant of Al:
Proceed as you did for Si, look for a lattice constant that lies in the range of 7.0 to 8.0 bohr.
- Do non-self-consistent calculations, and play with various post-processing tools
- Examples of stuff you can do: plot charge densities, band structures, densities of states.
- To try this stuff you can either work through some of the examples that come with the QE distribution, or, for example, work through week1/day1/exercise2 on http://www.pwscf.org/wiki/index.php/QESB09

Blue light at night? Maybe it influences the quality of your sleep
Human eyes are by design very sensitive to light. They sense and react to light in the environment without us even knowing, by dilating or contracting pupils to control light input. However, of all the light that the sun emits, humans can only see one portion of it. This is known as visible light, and its spectrum gives us the colours of the rainbow.
These sections, or wavelengths, vary in shape. Waves from the red side of the spectrum are bigger than the blue side, but blue light has a higher frequency. Our exposure to blue light has increased over the last fifty years due to the introduction of screens and artificial lighting, and things like energy saving lightbulbs particularly contribute to the problem.
An abundance of blue light can be a problem because of the way it influences our brain activity. During daylight hours, we are supposed to feel active and energetic thanks to our circadian rhythm, which is influenced by daylight and tells us when to sleep and when to be awake. However, blue light from screens and artificial lighting mimic daylight and trick the brain into believing it's still day, regardless of the hour.
This hinders the production of the hormone melatonin, which regulates your wake and sleep cycle. Devices such as tablets, computers, and televisions can therefore be counter-productive if used in an effort to fall asleep as the brain is left feeling more awake.
According to a recent study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, by the University of Texas, using such devices only a few hours before sleeping will disrupt your REM sleep (dream sleep), and will decrease your attentiveness the next morning.
Not only can your sleep be affected by late night exposure to blue light, but other aspects of your health may be at risk too. Harvard researchers placed ten subjects on a routine that shifted their circadian rhythms gradually over time.
They found that blood sugar levels increased, risking diabetes, and the amount of leptin (a hormone that leaves you feeling full after eating) decreased, which could be an indicator of an obesity risk. Lack of sleep has also been linked to a heightened risk of depression.
The best way to avoid these complications is to reduce the use electronic devices before you sleep. Reading a book before bed with an orange or red light, or even a candle, rather than white light can also help to encourage sleep.
Researchers at the University of Toronto found that those who wore blue-light-blocking goggles in brightly lit conditions had similar melatonin levels to people exposed to dim light without goggles, indicating another form of protection against blue light.
Learn more about the effects of blue light and ways to protect your eyes from long-term eye damage.

The Good Wife stunned audiences Sunday evening when a major character was killed off the show, and creators and showrunners Michelle and Robert King have addressed the surprise death in a letter addressed to series fans.
Will Gardner (Josh Charles) died in Sunday's episode after he was shot in court by his own client, Jeffrey Grant (Hunter Parrish). Grant was a suspect in the murder of a young woman, and seemed to snap in court after Gardner requested that he be placed in protective solitary confinement. Grant grabbed the court deputy's gun, fired several shots, and the young man was left desperately pulling the trigger of an emptied gun under his own chin. Gardner was shot in the crossfire and was later pronounced dead at the hospital.
The unexpected and tragic turn of events was a shocker for series fans. Gardner had appeared on the show for all of its five seasons, and had become the male lead. The character was a former classmate of main character Alicia Florrick (Julianna Margulies) and her coworker at Lockheart & Gardner. The two became lovers at the end of season two, then eventually rival attorneys when Florrick left the practice to start her own firm.
The Good Wife creators Michelle and Robert King wrote a letter to fans explaining their reasons for Gardner's violent death, and say that the character's exit was actor Josh Charles' own decision.
"We, like you, mourn the loss of Will Gardner," the Kings began. The two stated that "when faced with the gut punch of Josh's decision, made over a year ago, to move on to other creative endeavors, we had a major choice to make."
That choice was the manner of the character's death. "We could 'send him off to Seattle,' he could be disbarred, or get married, or go of to Borneo to do good works," the Kings wrote. "But there was something in the passion that Will and Alicia shared that made distance a meager hurdle."
"The brutal honesty and reality of death speaks to the truth and tragedy of bad timing for these two characters," the two continued. "Will's death propels Alicia into her newest incarnation... Will's death in many ways becomes a hub for the whole series, violently spinning everybody in new directions."
"We chose the tragic route for Will's send-off for personal reasons," the Kings explained. "We've all experience the sudden death of a loved one... The Good Wife is a show about human behavior and emotion, and death, as sad and unfair as it can be, is a part of the human experience that we want to share."
The Kings ended the letter with their thanks to series fans. The Good Wife will continue without Gardner at 9 p.m. ET Sundays on CBS.
