Custom Robo (Nintendo GameCube)
Custom Robo
North American cover art
Developer(s) Noise, Nintendo Publisher(s) Nintendo Designer(s) Kouji Kenjou Series Custom Robo series Platform(s) Nintendo GameCube[1] Release date(s) Genre(s) Action role-playing Mode(s) Single-player, multiplayer Rating(s) Media/distribution 1 × Nintendo optical disc
Custom Robo, known in Japan as Custom Robo Battle Revolution (カスタムロボ バトルレボリューション Kasutamu Robo Batoru Reboryūshon ), is a 2004 science fiction action video game developed by Noise and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo GameCube. It is the fourth title of the Custom Robo series, and the first title of the series released outside of Japan, which was released in North America.
In this title of the Custom Robo series, each player is called a "commander", who pilots and customizes a miniature "robo" to battle each other in a virtual arena called a Holosseum; the average robo is 32 centimeters tall. The first half of the story takes place in "A New Journey" mode. After the story mode is completed, the player may choose to go through the story again or enter a series of tournaments called "The Grand Battle".
The main objective of the entire game is to engage in battle with other robos, and finish its plot by collecting every custom robo, battle part, and item that the player wants, while winning every battle that moves you from one part of the storyline to the next. In Custom Robo battles, the objective is to reduce your opponent's hit points from 1000 to 0 by using different custom robos and their dash attacks, guns, bombs, and pods.
Robos fight on a Holosseum, a battle arena designed for custom robos. Some commanders can make their own Holosseums, or they can use a pre-created Holosseum taken from a Holosseum deck or in the robo itself. Holosseums come in a variety of sizes and layouts, and some feature environmental hazards such as ice or lava.
Before battling begins, players customize their robos from 5 types of parts: the chassis (the robo itself), the gun (right hand), the bomb (left hand), the pod (backpack), and the legs (attachments to your legs and feet). The chassis are arranged in groups that designate the model, which affects its traits. In addition, there are 3 types of the same model.
Battles begin with your robo being launched out of a Robocannon, which is controlled with the Control Stick. Robos are shot from the Cannon in the form of cubes; there are six sides numbered 1 to 6, which designate how long your robo has before transforming. You can speed up the process up by pressing any button repeatedly. The first robo to transform gets to attack first; an attack brings you to transform immediately. There are two views in battle: Normal view is the view that allows the player to see both the Custom Robos in an isometric view. First-person view allows you to see from your robo's point of view. You can change views during a battle by pressing up on the C-stick after "A New Journey" is completed. The endurance bar is located above your hit points. Once it runs out, your robo gets "downed", which means that it stays fallen for a couple seconds. After it gets up, it goes into "rebirth", where it briefly turns invincible for about 3 seconds. If the player repeatedly loses the same battle, the game offers the option of reducing the opponent's initial health. This goes up to the opponent losing 250 HP.
The story opens with a flash back from the hero's earlier life.
The main character "Hero", is a child whose father has disappeared. Before his mysterious departure, Hero's father gave him a watch, telling him to keep it safe. At this point, the game leaps to the present and Hero suddenly receives a letter stating that his father has just died. In honor of his father's wishes for him to become a Robo Commander, Hero sets out to do so - despite knowing nothing about robos. He eventually manages to join up with a group of bounty hunters known as the "Steel Hearts", where he meets Ernest, Harry, and Marcia. A fellow member of the Steel Hearts, Harry, teaches Hero how to command robos and helps him receive his license, which allows Hero to battle with robos legally. After a few minor errands, Hero and company discover the self-guided Robo known as 'Rahu'. Later, after passing a test and obtaining a Class "S" license, Rahu's past is revealed and Hero finds out that he is a toy bot fused with an invisible organic being who had accidentally been merged with the toy.
Before the time of the domed city, the world was attacked by a powerful entity - now known as Rahu. Eventually, Rahu came to possess a child's toy. This toy was very similar to a Robo. By popularizing Robo battling, the government gave the people a way to fight the entity. Rahu was soon damaged enough to be driven into dormancy for a long period of time, but has now awoken. Hero and the rest of the police force leave the safety of the dome to defeat Rahu again, along with the organization known as the Z-Syndicate, who are trying to control the entity for their own ends. After defeating the syndicate, Hero meets an old friend of his father's, and the brother of Marcia of the Steel Hearts,- a spy named Sergei. He originally joined the Z Syndicate to stop Rahu, but was forced to work with Oboro, who wanted to control Rahu for his own means. Eliza and Isabella, two other members of the Z Syndicate, also wanted to control Rahu. Sergei showed Hero an old recording of his father's last message to him. In the recording, Hero's father explains that he left to form the Z-Syndicate in an attempt to inform the people of Rahu's impending attack. The other members soon lost sight of his vision and betrayed him in an attempt to the seize control of the Syndicate and Rahu. Hero eventually defeats Rahu, ensuring the world's safety - for a while.
- Hero (Main Character): The main character is a young man whose only family was his father. His father left him when he was very young, and his mother died shortly before that. His father left him with a watch. He lives in a Triplex with a couple, their children, and his landlady.
- Hero's dad: The main character's dad was once the leader of Z Syndicate. When he died, Z was split in between Oboro and the Eliza/Isabella duo (the latter of whom are twins). He commanded Ray Legend (illegal), a Shining Fighter model.
- Lucy: The hero's landlady who wakes him up every morning. She knows nothing about Custom Robos. Later in the game, she ends up acquiring a Robo of her own, a Tank Head (Funky Big Head) in "The Grand Battle".
- Harry: A member of the Steel Hearts who first wanted to have the hero join so that he can boss him around. He tries to be a real ladies man, and it seems to work sometimes, but he often fails. It turns out after the hero joins, Harry is still the one being pushed around. He will give out some good tips and advice before most battles. Harry commands Glory (Shining Fighter).
- Marcia: A member of the Steel Hearts who is the pride of the team for some part of the game. When she was orphaned, she lived with her brother—an ex member of the police squad—until he left suddenly. She has the ability to "Half-Dive," (which means to see through a Robo's eyes and even read the last thoughts of the Robo's Commander,) when she does, it can strain her mentally, so she cannot half dive for too long. Marcia commands Milky Way (Aerial Beauty). It is hinted that the hero may have a crush on her.
- Ernest: The leader of the Steel Hearts. He does not do much but call members of the Steel Hearts and give them their assignments, but usually just ends up yelling at them. In "The Grand Battle" he's in a few parts but serves no major purpose apart from organizing the Steel Hearts Cup. He has a keen eye for poetry. Ernest commands Metal Bear (Metal Grappler).
- Linda: The Lab director. She is the person that gives the hero Ray 01. Both Ernest and Harry have a crush on her. Linda commands Seeker (Lightning Sky).
- Evil: The "Arch-Nemesis". He runs another bounty hunter group named Dark Blue. He also has a huge ego. Evil thinks of himself as a king and that he is caring and the smartest one of them all. He often says he threw a fight on purpose when he loses, but he lets his pride interfere with everything, yet that does not prevent him from keeping his loyal (and slightly dim witted) minions by his side. Evil commands Juggler (Trick Flyer).
- The police squad: Group of people who only actually worked in one part of the game. To join you need to take and pass a Class-A test. Marcia wants to join the Police Squad in hopes of finding her long lost brother. Harry's older sister is a high ranking member who constantly tries to get him to join. The only similarity in their battles is that almost all of them use the High Rise Cell as their course.
- Mira: Harry's older sister. The captain of the police squad, who is constantly trying to get Harry to join. She has a class 'S' license. Mira commands Sol (Aerial Beauty).
- Roy: The lieutenant in the police squad and Mira's right-hand man, he is very devoted to the police force and dislikes Harry more than the Steel Hearts, (and all mercenaries). He has a class 'S' license. Roy commands Halberd (Strike Vanisher).
- Sergei: Former member of the Police Squad, and Marcia's older brother. He was departed to the outside world, joining Z before it was controlled by Oboro and Eliza. He wishes to fulfill the true director of Z's ultimate vision. Sergei commands Ruhiel (an illegal Lightning Sky).
- Shiner: A commander of the Z Syndicate (first one met.) He follows Oboro. Interestingly, he is the only commander who doesn't use an illegal body, but he sometimes uses an illegal gun. Shiner commands Breaker (Lightning Sky).
- Eliza and Isabella: Twin sisters, and leaders of the Z-Syndicate. They use the twin factor to confuse the protagonists sometime in the story. They are two of the main antagonists. They both command Athenas (an illegal Aerial Beauty).
- Oboro: A leader of the Z-Syndicate. One of the main antagonists. He commands Rakansen (an illegal Strike Vanisher).
- Rahu: A living creature that destroyed the outside world and dived into a custom robo for reasons unknown. It is the main enemy in the game. It is constantly evolving into multiple forms and is the only "custom robo" that can exist outside a Holosseum in full form. Rahu's name comes from hindu mythology, a snake that eats the sun and moon causing eclipses.

What You Need To Know About MyCAA
So you want to go back to college. You are a military spouse, and you remember hearing about MyCAA. Only, you are not sure what MyCAA actually is or even if you can qualify for the program. As a military spouse, you want to be able to use MyCAA if you can.
Here is what you need to know about MyCAA:
What does MyCAA even stand for?
MyCAA stands for "My Career Advancement Account Scholarship."
What will MyCAA give me if I qualify?
This workplace development program will give you up to $4,000 of tuition assistance for your education. However, this is broken up as $2,000 per year for two years.
Who is the program for?
Military spouses
ALL military spouses?
This is what you need to qualify:
- You have to be a spouse of an active duty service member with a rank of
- E-1 to E-5
- W-1 to W-2
- O-1 to O-2
- You must have completed high school
- Your spouse needs to be on Title 10 orders
- National Guard and Reserves spouses in these pay grades are eligible while their spouse is on active duty
So as a National Guard spouse, I can get MyCAA too?
Yes, but again your spouse have to be activated on Title 10 orders. If they are not, you do not qualify. If your spouse deploys, you can then take advantage of MyCAA and go to school.
For a perspective on being the spouse of a National Guard member, please visit Soldier Wife, Crazy Life (this link will take you offsite).
What are Title 10 orders?
Title 10 of the US Code outlines the role of the armed forces. Legally, this means being on "active full-time service" as opposed to part-time status like you are a lot of the time in the National Guard or the Reserves.
I am legally separated from my service member, what about me?
No, you would no longer qualify if you are legally separated.
What about Coast Guard spouses?
Unfortunately, Coast Guard spouses do not qualify. Those from the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps do.
What will MyCAA pay for?
MyCAA will pay for your tuition for:
- Associates degrees (excluding general studies, liberal arts, and interdisciplinary studies without a concentration.)
- Obtaining a license
- Obtaining a certificate or certification
- An approved testing organization that expands employment or portable career opportunities for military spouses
So a specific type of program?
Yes, you would need to have a specific program or degree planned. General studies isn't going to be an option.
Can I use MyCAA for my books?
No, you can't use MyCAA for books, supplies, equipment, uniforms, computers, or electronic devices. Make sure to check out everything MyCAA won't pay for before assuming anything.
So how do I sign up?
Head on over to the MyCAA Scholarship Spouse Portal Online. There will be a DEERS eligibility check to confirm if you meet the requirements or not. If you do, you can establish your MyCAA account.
Will I get $4,000 a year then?
No, there is an annual cap of $2,000 per fiscal year. However, there are spending cap waivers if the program you want to do is more than that per year. If your licence or certificate program's upfront cost is more than $2,000, you should be able to receive that waiver.
Can I use MyCAA at any school?
The school you use MyCAA at has to be accredited by a suitable agency and one that is recognized by the US Department of Education. You can search for schools here.
How soon should I start the process?
You should submit your education and training plan for approval at least two months before you would want to start the program.
What happens if I don't get approved?
You will get a message from the system letting you know why you were not approved as well as the required steps to take to get approved if that is possible.
What if MyCAA can't pay for all of education?
Often times MYCAA can't pay for all of your education. Make sure you also apply for FAFSA, which is the application for federal student aid. You can also look into transfering your spouse's Post 9/11 GI Bill. There are also scholarships you can apply for, at the school you are going to as well as outside companies and organizations.
How do I get help with all of this?
You can have an appointment with a SECO Career Counselor to help develop an individual career plan. Make sure to also check out the MYCAA Fact Sheet for more information.
Although this seems a bit complicated, once you figure out more about the program and the steps you have to take to apply, you will find that MYCAA is going to be one of the best ways to find money for college as a military spouse.

I went curling for the first time over the holidays at the Granite Curling Club in Seattle. I really didn't know what to expect as my only previous exposure to the sport of curling was limited to what I saw on TV coverage of past Olympics.
After a lesson from our instructor, we played a game with two teams of four people. I was surprised by how heavy the curling stones were (about 40 lbs.) and how easily they slid down the ice. Only a small amount of force is needed to slide the stone down to the target on the other side of the ice. Not being a skater, I was initially anxious about slipping on the ice. But, with a pair of "grippers," my feet had plenty of traction on the ice. Launching the stone properly definitely takes some practice as the "slider" throws off your balance on the launch. I thought the most fun was sweeping in front of the sliding stone to influence its speed and path.
I learned that curling is not my favorite sport but its fun enough that I would definitely play again.

Professional Golfers Try Driving Like Happy Gilmore
Happy Gilmore's signature driving technique might have won him some golf tournaments in the movies, but in real life, it's pretty much the dumbest shit you can do on a golf course. Trust me, I've tried it. But what if you are a professional golfer, and you and your other pro-golfer bros are just chillaxin around a tee at the European Tour's 2013 Aberdeen Asset Management Scottish Open? Might as well try it out!

Not diabetic? Have a loved one who is? Don't worry! We've got you covered. Want to know why!?
You're a type 3 diabetic!
Type 3 is NOT another type of diabetes.
'Type 3′ is a term we use for any of our loved ones that live, love, and 'put up,' with a person (or people) living with type 1 diabetes. A few examples are friends, family, and significant others.
If you have some questions or are looking to chat with a fellow Type 3 here are some highly recommended T3s 🙂
Sabrina Chittaranjan
Hi! I'm Sabrina a first year accounting student at BCIT. I enjoy watching comedy shows and volunteering in my spare time. I first became familiar with Type One diabetes when my sister was diagnosed eight years ago. I am excited to be a part of Young and T1 and I am interested in seeing this organization grow in the future 🙂
Katarina Wind
Hello! My name is Katarina and my amazing boyfriend lives with type 1 diabetes. I am in my 4th year of honours biochemistry at UBC, and I am doing my thesis in a diabetes lab. Through Young and T1 I have learned that being able to drink a juice box in 3 seconds, saying very strange things when low, and having amazing strength and optimism in the face of this relentless disease are not characteristics unique to just my boyfriend. Young and T1 is such a supportive community for people with type 1 and their loved ones, so I encourage you to come out to one of our many events and meet everyone! And if you want to help out, we have many different volunteering events to raise money for diabetes research, or just make a difference in the community. Feel free to get in touch with me if you want to talk about diabetes research or how to get involved with Young and T1.

Information technology skills gap raise concerns for some
In this #CIOChat recap, participants discuss why information technology skills gaps are a concern and how to close those holes.
Jerry Luftman, founder and managing director at the Global Institute for IT Management, is an advocate for closing information technology skills gaps. Luftman and his team offer 32 different executive and industry-specific IT certificates to guide technology-minded individuals in pursuing new IT management strategies, and during SearchCIO's May ITSM-themed #CIOChat, Luftman addressed the technology skills gap, why holes exist and how to remedy related issues.
Are skills gaps growing? Why do they exist?
A 2012 study by the Computing Technology Industry Association (CompTIA) revealed that 93% of those surveyed (502 business leaders in the U.S. responsible for managing IT staff) feel that an information technology skills gap exists. Fifty-six percent said that they're moderately close, or not even close, to where they want their staff to be in regard to these skills.
Has the skills gap changed since then? Tweet jam participant Andi Mann, SearchCIO senior news writer Nicole Laskowski and others sounded off:
A4. For sure, because more and more silos are being broken down (by agile, devops, shadow IT, cloud, consumerization, etc.). #CIOChat
— Andi Mann (@AndiMann) May 28, 2014
Many agreed that IT skills gaps are a direct result of organizations' effort to move away from siloed IT functions. Participant Brian Fanzo calls this the dotted-line culture:
I call it a "dotted line culture" no longer are skill sets silo'd by Departement... Example all departments look at data! #CIOChat
— Brian Fanzo (@iSocial_Fanz) May 28, 2014
Breaking down IT silos should be an ongoing effort for enterprise organizations, one that also necessitates frequent education and cross-training, our followers said:
A4. fewer silos is great, but means more people need broad *and* deep skills, a la 'full stack' engineers. #CIOChat.
— Andi Mann (@AndiMann) May 28, 2014
@iSocial_Fanz Great point Brian. An agile org must support frequent (continual?) education, cross-skilling, etc. #CIOchat
— Andi Mann (@AndiMann) May 28, 2014
@TT_Nicole In the real world, esp. for large businesses, I think that is actually best! No one person can know it all. #CIOchat
— Andi Mann (@AndiMann) May 28, 2014
@TT_Nicole But it still needs a commitment to cross-training and reskilling - which is still driving a skills gap. #CIOChat
— Andi Mann (@AndiMann) May 28, 2014
Do people in IT lack the right competencies and skills?
Having only one, siloed individual in a particular knowledge area who "knows it all" is dangerous, and it's clear that many IT pros currently lack the skills needed to keep business moving forward. Tweet jam participants pointed to lack of education, adaptability and troubleshooting abilities as major issues:
@mchapple Well said Mike.Change is so rapid, specific skills are less important. Also understanding of business - why are we here. #CIOChat
— Andi Mann (@AndiMann) May 28, 2014
@AndiMann @mchapple Practitioners & universities working closer together on curriculum & universities more responsive. #CIOChat
— Jerry Luftman (@JerryLuftman) May 28, 2014
One of the biggest skill deficits I've seen is the lack of ability to troubleshoot due to lack of breadth & too many silos #CIOchat
— Mike Chapple (@mchapple) May 28, 2014
How can CIOs and IT leaders remedy this issue?
The lingering question during SearchCIO's #CIOChat was whether these skills gaps could be closed. Will the rapid speed of technology innovation always outpace staffers' ability to learn? Mike Chapple, senior director of IT service delivery at the University of Notre Dame, shared his strategy for closing gaps:
The most important skill that IT professionals need is adaptability—our world is constantly evolving and we must change with it #CIOChat
— Mike Chapple (@mchapple) May 28, 2014
Others agreed that change starts at the top:
@Forvalaka41 which is why it's important for IT to be an equal business partner in these discussions #CIOchat
— Fran Sales (@Fran_S_TT) May 28, 2014
SearchCompliance site editor Ben Cole chimed in with a quick reality check:
A4 It's 2014- everyone in every business department should know their role in IT #CIOChat
— Ben Cole (@BenjaminCole11) May 28, 2014
@RachelatTT @BenjaminCole11 One of my many "windmills"...#CIOChat
— Jerry Luftman (@JerryLuftman) May 28, 2014

They took their time to examine and explain in laymen's terms his health and plans to maintain him healthy as possible. We are coming back!
Dr Pola is very personable, professional, nice, and very genuine. I am a new patient and went to see him on Friday March 23, 2018. I felt as if I was his patient for years and I will definitely continue to see him. Dr Pola is a great representative of what a doctor should be, no rushing and he is very funny. The wait time was about 10-15 minutes in the waiting area, they are quick and efficient. I highly recommend Dr Pola and the Westover hills location! Blanca was awesome! Thanks Dr Pola and Blanca

On occasion I've updated X11 on Gentoo and evdev has failed to load, with the following error in /var/log/Xorg.0.log:
module ABI major version (12) doesn't match the server's version (13)
This prevents my keyboard (and presumably the mouse) working in X.
To fix this error you may need to re-emerge your xf86 evdev driver.
First, find out which xf86 drivers you have:
me@pc ~ $ equery l -f x11-drivers/xf86*
* Searching for x11-drivers/xf86* ...
[IP-] [ ] x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev-2.6.0:0
Then emerge with:
emerge -1 x11-drivers/xf86-input-evdev
-1 (or
--oneshot) will prevent the package being recorded in /var/lib/portage/world.
I've read elsewhere that you should re-install all xf86 drivers, but I wouldn't know this as I've only got evdev.
Restart X and you should be good to go.
- As usual, it was the Gentoo Forums that came to the rescue: module ABI major version doesn't match server's ver [Solved]

I debated long and hard over to write this post, because it's definitely a lot more personal than what I usually write about. But here's the thing: what I love so much about blogs are the tiny glimpses into the lives of real people, who are open and honest enough to share the good and the bad. So, in that spirit, I thought I'd tell you all about the few months leading up to the creation of our baby boy.
(As a quick FYI: I'm scheduling this to post after the baby is born — I know it's silly and superstitious, but part of me is still a little nervous about this whole experience, and I know I'll feel better telling the story once he's safely in our arms.)
Back in April of last year, Chad and I started talking seriously about having a baby. We were settled in Houston, our lives were pretty much under control, and we felt like this was the next step. I'd always said that I wanted to be in our house for a year before we started thinking about kids, and we decided that it would be great if I were pregnant in the fall. And from there, it was an easy jump to think: it can take a while to get pregnant, so if we want that to be the goal, probably we should start trying… now.
And obviously I'm going to spare you guys the details, but that's essentially what we did. I started paying closer attention to my cycles (I used a website/app called FertilityFriend that I can't recommend enough) — but my periods were always pretty regular and I figured it would happen pretty soon. (I'd gotten off the pill years ago, so I didn't have to wait for my body to adjust to life without birth control.)
And then… the strangest thing happened. After we'd been trying for a month, I had some bleeding about a week before I was supposed to get my period. For some people, this might be relatively normal, but for me it was definitely not. When I say my cycles were "pretty regular," I mean 28 days on the dot, no spotting, nothing wonky ever. So a few weeks later, I went to the doctor to have everything checked out.
The doctor agreed that this was a little strange (and particularly unfortunate the first month that we'd started trying to conceive), so she did an ultrasound to make sure everything internal looked okay. And a few days later, I got a call: I had a rare type of ovarian cyst that needed surgery. It wasn't cancerous, but it was a type that could turn cancerous if I didn't have it removed. It was only the size of a golf ball when we caught it, but it could grow quickly to be a lot bigger. And scariest of all, if I were to get pregnant, it could grow big enough that I'd need to have surgery while pregnant to remove it, or else risk losing my ovary. Even with the surgery, they weren't sure that there would be enough tissue left of the ovary for it to ever work again. The recommendation was to have the surgery as soon as possible, before things got any worse.
I'm not sure I can fully describe how terrified I was — I spent my entire adult life trying to avoid getting pregnant, and the moment I actually want a baby, I realize that there may be serious issues with my reproductive system. I suddenly felt so stupid for all the months and years that I'd put off having kids, thinking I had all the time in the world. In my rational mind, I knew everything would most likely turn out fine. In my totally irrational, petrified mind, I knew there were no guarantees.
After a lot of thought, I went forward with the surgery, which is a whole separate story for another day — but ultimately, the important thing is that it was successful. The doctor was able to remove the cyst and leave my ovary intact, and a few weeks later, once I'd healed, he told me that there was nothing to suggest that I'd have trouble conceiving in the future.
And sure enough, three months later, I got those two wonderful lines on a home pregnancy test (er… three home pregnancy tests, lol). A few weeks later, we heard the baby's heartbeat and eight months later, he's just about to join our family. I've been incredibly lucky to have an easy and uncomplicated pregnancy, which came as a huge relief after the fear and uncertainty of last summer.
At the end of the day, it only took us a few months to get pregnant — but with everything that happened, they felt like years. In some ways, I'm grateful for the difficulties we went through — they truly made me appreciate this pregnancy in a way that I might have taken for granted otherwise.
So I thought it was important to share the story behind our baby's conception — in case any of you are going through something similar, and just to be open and honest about the fact that although I'm so happy with the outcome, but it wasn't always an easy or smooth ride to get here.
Ultimately, I realize that I'm extremely lucky — and not just for my health and our soon-to-be baby boy. I'm fine now and happy to move past this experience — and into the excitement of caring for our newborn son!

These new capabilities have been described below: New Functionality Access Groups – For this release we added the ability to restrict access to specific lessons learned using Access Groups. Access Groups are groups of users defined within the Lessons Learned Database that are created by an Account Admin and controlled by an Access Group owner. Once the Access Group is created the group owner may add group members. Group members are able to restrict access to lessons learned at creation, during a review or post-review. One or more Access Groups may be granted access to a lesson learned. Once access to a lesson learned is limited to an access group(s), only members of that group(s) will be able to see the lesson learned in the search results and other areas of the product where lessons learned are listed (e.g. dashboards). This functionality is useful in several scenarios. Here are a couple examples: Proprietary Info – It's not uncommon for R&D groups to identify lessons learned in the course of new product development. However, R&D teams may not want the entire company seeing these due to the potentially sensitive and proprietary nature of the information contained in these lessons learned. Access groups may be used to restrict access to these lessons learned. Corporate Strategy – Management teams may collect lessons learned while business planning and formulating corporate strategy. These lessons learned may contain financial information or other sensitive information that needs restricted access until the plan or strategy has been communicated to the company. Account Administrators may create Access Groups by visiting the new Access Groups tab in the Subscription Management page.

The Chemical industry
The chemical industry provides a wide range of possibilities for the use of various products in heat recovery. That is why this industry is an important area of focus for ATHCO-Engineering.
The chemical industry is steadily growing worldwide and is today one of the world's leading industries. Engineers around the world are daily working with heating and cooling processes facing the challenge to select the right equipment and how to optimize processes and energy consumption using heat recovery without occupying too much space, reduce cost and CO2 emissions
There are a great variety of different processes in this industry, where cooling or heating of fluid or gasses is a necessity. Thermo-plates or dimple plates can be designed in all shapes and dimensions as fully welded constructions for both high pressure and temperatures opening new ways for the engineers to solve heat recovery problems and reduce cost.
In such situations ATHCO-Engineering's significant experience, when dealing with heat recovery in the chemical industry, will be a important factor in a collaboration, where we co-operate with our customers to creating a total solution suiable for them.

SIR – I am very disappointed by proposals by Andrew Lansley, the Health Secretary, to introduce yet another administrative reform to the way NHS funding is distributed (report, July 13).
Why should GPs do this any better, or more cheaply, than primary care trusts? The most demanding patients will be able to get the best access to their GPs, who will push money towards whoever shouts the loudest. How can a GP stand back and prioritise care independently?
The greatest failure of the past two decades has been that, in a nationalised system, doctors focused on public health and have failed to take a lead in shaping what society should spend health resources on. Hospital specialists follow America's lead and subspecialise more and more, rather than pursuing what is most needed. Meanwhile, GPs spend much of their time on diseases that are little improved by treatment, social ills that no one can solve and unproven preventive care.
More than ever before, no one is filling the gap between the GPs and hospital specialists, and neither supply what our patients want: quick, easy access to expert care when bad health happens.
We spend more on primary care than any other developed nation – why is this assumed to be a good thing? Now we are giving primary care providers responsibility for the entire NHS budget. It seems a recipe for a full-scale muddle.
Let's look at the delivery of our health system and discuss how to fix it, rather than shuffle the bureaucrats again.
Tim Manners
Clinical director and ophthalmologist
York Hospital
SIR – While I welcome any attempt to improve the NHS, plans to hand greater responsibility to GPs rely on the assumption that they will wield this new-found authority competently and fairly.
The power will be in the hands of the practice manager and receptionists, who often have few formal qualifications or administrative experience but who, once imbued with power, rapidly become convinced of their infallibility and react aggressively to any criticism – often to the detriment of patients' medical care.
I cannot imagine a better advertisement for private medical care.
Richard Hughes
Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire
SIR– A headline in the British Medical Journal on December 13, 1997 read: "White Paper puts GPs in the driving seat of the new NHS." Of course, GPs have never been, and will never be, in the driving seat. The managers will see to it.
After working for the NHS for 41 years, I know that Mr Lansley's White Paper is yet another recycling of NHS managers, who will ensure that no one ever threatens their hegemony.
Dr Kosta Manis
Sidcup, Kent
School place lottery
SIR – As a grandmother of a four-year-old, who has not been allocated a place at a primary school for September, I have witnessed the impossible situation that has arisen in our education system.
Our grandson, who has been attending a nursery for the past two years, is looking forward to transferring to a primary school. However, he has been turned down by three local schools, and is low down on their waiting lists, with virtually no chance of being offered a place.
What is even more worrying is that there are no places available in any of the primary schools in the borough, with seven other children in our grandson's nursery in the same situation. His parents have lived in their borough for many years and feel let down by the system. Their son's name is being pushed further down the waiting lists, because there are other more "needy" children. How do you define needy? A child from a two-parent, happy family is as needy and has as much right to a school place as any other child.
Many parents move house, change their religious beliefs, or get involved in local communities simply to facilitate a school place for their child. Is this how we want allocation of places to be settled?
Alex Podhorodecka
London N15
SIR – Zenna Atkins, the outgoing chairman of Ofsted, claims that every school should have a useless teacher (report, July 12).
It would seem logical then that every airline should have a useless pilot, and every hospital should have a useless surgeon.
Mark Sykes
Dewsbury, West Yorkshire
Research into cancer
SIR – That survival rates for patients with ovarian and some other cancers have doubled in a generation will catch the eye of policy-makers (report, July 12).
However, too many women are being diagnosed with ovarian cancer too late, and our survival rates are still woeful compared with other countries. If only we managed to achieve the European average for ovarian cancer survival, another 400 women's lives would be saved each year. We need to understand why we lag behind.
Ensuring women and health professionals know the persistent and frequent symptoms to look for, and that GPs have urgent access to diagnostic tests will help in the short term; developing new treatments and methods of detecting ovarian cancer earlier in the longer term.
We have a long way to go to achieve the progress seen in breast cancer survival, where now nearly 80 per cent of women survive 10 years after they are first diagnosed.
Frances Reid
Target Ovarian Cancer
London EC1
Hats for all occasions
SIR – Like Bruce Burns Paton (Letters, July 13), I too am an ageing, balding driver of a convertible sports car.
The dreaded baseball cap has proved to be the only practical solution as to what headgear to wear. Buy a plain khaki one, and keep it in the car.
John S. Paton
Trowbridge, Wiltshire
SIR – Throughout Northern Ireland, until the late Sixties, all classes and creeds, regardless of being the driver or not of a sports car, had a standard mode of headwear: on Sundays it was a paddy hat, and on weekdays a duncher.
Peter Hughes
Burnham, Buckinghamshire
Trevor-Roper a gent
SIR – Charles Moore ("A gentleman and a scholar, or just a good story?", Comment July 12) refers baldly to Hugh Trevor-Roper's choice of Dacre of Glanton as his title and quotes Margaret Thatcher, who ennobled Trevor-Roper, addressing him simply as "Lord Dacre".
The modifier "of Glanton" was necessary to avoid confusion with the separate barony of Dacre. The latter, dating from 1321, was held throughout Trevor-Roper's life by his cousins Thomas Lord Hampden of Glynde, then Thomas's son, then his granddaughter. It still exists.
Hugh Trevor-Roper descended from Anne (1684-1755), Baroness Dacre in her own right and wife of the 8th Lord Teynham. The latter's surname was Roper. Lord and Lady Teynham's grandson Cadwallader Roper (Hugh's great-grandfather) added Trevor on inheriting the Plâs-Teg estate in Wales from the 18th Lord Dacre's widow.
A gentleman? Perhaps not in the 19th-century middle-class sense of being nice to one's inferiors. But in the cruder earlier sense of well-born, yes.
Charles Mosley
Editor-in-Chief 1989-2004
Burke's Peerage & Baronetage,
London SW1
Police courage under fire
SIR – I would like to congratulate the Northumberland police for their handling of Raoul Moat (Letters, July 13).
Our ethics seem to require they arrested Moat without injuring him. Threatened with attacks on their lives, they performed a difficult and dangerous task with courage and professionalism. We never hear any form of gratitude to our police force for putting themselves at risk on behalf of the remainder of the population.
On behalf of many in this country, I offer my heartfelt thanks.
John Boardman
Tonbridge, Kent
How to fasten a bra
SIR – I am sorry that Hilary Alexander (Fashion, July 12) was not able to help the reader who wants to find a front-fastening bra because she has difficulty with the traditional type.
I suggest she does what we all do with a bra that fastens at the back – fasten it when it's back to front, swivel it round and then put her arms through the straps.
Judy McGilloway
Lamphey, Pembrokeshire
No tears shed for Holland's World Cup loss to Spain
SIR – It is not easy for me being Dutch at the moment, surrounded by English friends, because I am ashamed about the way my national team behaved during the World Cup final (Letters, July 13).
We were living in Northern Ireland in 1974, when I watched my national team losing unnecessarily to Germany after having played the most wonderful football during the entire event, and I was in tears.
I did not shed any tears this time. It is a disgrace that the Dutch press is trying to blame Howard Webb, the English World Cup final referee, for the way in which he oversaw the game.
However much I would have liked Holland to win the final, I am glad they did not, because of the way many of the players behaved.
I think the best team won.
Harold Roggeveen
Guisborough, North Yorkshire


text: Hey all, I'm new here and interested in the Wine project for GSoC this year and figured I'd start by introducing myself and hopefully getting to know who's who on this list. I'm a Sophomore CS major at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, a science and engineering school in Indiana. I've been writing code since I taught myself how in 7th grade, and I've been using Linux since around that same time. In high school, I volunteered large chunks of my time to various open source projects: Ubuntu, Compiz, etc.. Now that I'm in college, I regret not having quite as much time as I'd like to devote to the Linux community as a whole, so I'm hoping to spend this summer giving something back. A quick explanation of what experience I have (relevant stuff only): Linux, C, OpenGL I've been scanning the wiki for GSoC from last year and noticed that most of the projects didn't have any sort of a status associated with them. I checked in the irc channel, and was told that most of the projects were still open. Of those that don't have a status listed, I'm kinda interested in the d3d9_xx DLLs problem. While I'm not too familiar with DirectX, I figure if I start now I'll have plenty of time to get up to speed. Is this still a problem that needs work? If so, is the mentor listed on the page still accurate? I attempted to contact the listed mentor but wasn't successful. I'd also be interested in working on almost anything else, that project just stuck out to me as something important that hadn't gotten done in a long time. If you have any suggestions for useful projects, or how to go about getting caught up to speed on what I need to know (Windows API, DirectX, and/or the Wine codebase itself), I would appreciate that. It's slow going trying to find all the information on my own, but I'm sure other people have had the same problem before and have found good resources to solve it. I'm very interested in working with all of you for the next few months and hopefully through the summer and beyond. If anyone would like more information, feel free to ask. I've never done this before, so I'm not too sure what kind of information you guys are looking for in a GSoC candidate. Any critique/commentary is appreciated. TL;DR: I'm a student interested in GSoC, help me out! --- Arjun Comar, Rose-Hulman '12 Computer Science -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Opening Day Eve Thoughts
I just ate probably the best chimichanga I've ever had accompanied by this 32oz behemoth of a dos equis, and wanted to say a few words before Opening Day. I think from a personal perspective, this is one of the most anticipated seasons I can remember, for a few reasons. Obviously the fact that we
