The researchers will develop a technique for identifying melanoma cells that have metastasized to the brain and for studying the effects of immunotherapies designed to strengthen immune T cell responses to the melanoma cells.
Melanoma is a highly malignant cancer. Melanoma patients have an impaired blood-brain-barrier that allows the cancer cells to enter the brain and spread. In fact, brain metastases often already exist by the time the diagnosis is made. Finding brain metastases is critical, since most deaths from melanoma are due to brain metastases that resist conventional treatment. While melanoma patients have numerous immune T cells, these cells have been inactivated by the tumors. Receptors for immune T cells are able to differentiate between normal and cancer cells, by recognizing peptides (amino acids) that are bound to proteins on the melanoma cell surface. Since there are many copies of T cell receptors and of proteins on melanoma cell surfaces, however, the immune T receptors bind only weakly to the cancer cells.
The investigators will produce high affinity T cell receptors from T cells isolated from melanoma patients. They will undertake efforts to strengthen the ability of the T cell receptors to bind to the proteins on the melanoma cell surface. The investigators will use various imaging probes, including PET, SPECT and MRI probes, coupled with these strengthened T cell receptors, to identify melanoma cells in the brain. They also will see if the imaging probes enable them to determine how immune cells interact with the tumor in response to immunotherapies designed to strengthen T cell actions.
Significance: The new high affinity T cell receptor probes may provide the ability to visualize melanoma metastases in the brain, to aid in diagnosis, and to assess the effects of immunotherapies in strengthening immune T cell responses against the tumors.
Melanoma is a highly malignant disease and, in many cases, brain metastases already exist at the time of diagnosis. Most of the deaths from melanoma are due to metastases that resist conventional treatment so finding them is critical. Our long-term goal is to develop diagnostic and therapeutic tools for use in cancer and other diseases. The goal of this project is to develop enhanced affinity T cell receptors (TCR) targeted towards melanoma in order to image those tumors in the brain. We will use T cell receptors isolated from melanoma patients as a preliminary scaffold for this reagent. The complementarity determining loops 1 and 2 (CDR1 and CDR2) of the two TCR chains will be randomly mutated to create libraries of potentially enhanced affinity TCR.
In Specific Aim 1, we will develop high-affinity, melanoma-specific TCR. We will isolate TCR from single T cells that have infiltrated metastatic tumors. These TCR will be manipulated to become high affinity but retain their peptide-specificity. Using phage display, we will pan the library for high affinity TCR using recombinant peptide/MHC complexes. The project is novel because we will use receptors that are already "programmed" to recognize the antigen but that couldn't function as a marker because of their inherently low affinity. Our long-term goal is to produce four different high affinity TCR specific for four melanoma antigenic peptides. By using four TCR, we greatly increase the likelihood that melanoma from different patients will be visualized.
In Specific Aim 2, we will create a recombinant probe useful for brain imaging of metastatic melanoma. We will create a set of recombinant TCR, of various sizes and conjugate them to metals or nanomaterials for use in PET, SPECT and MR, when the high affinity TCR is available, it will be incorporated into the "best" sized reagent. Although these initial experiments will not occur in humans, the TCR are isolated from humans, do recognize human melanoma antigens, and should function in humans as well as in mice. Our lab is unique in its ability to accomplish this task because of the melding of immunology and biophysical techniques. If we are successful, we will be able to identify HLA-A2+ melanoma cells in the brain and determine where and how other immune cells are interacting with the tumor.

City Council fully restored funding for HASA's supportive housing services at $5.1 million.
City Council has just released budget documents for fiscal year 2012, and the news for AIDS advocates is pretty good.
The documents confirm what the Update posted yesterday -- that City Council fully restored funding for HASA's supportive housing at $5.1 million.
This is a win for AIDS advocates, who feared the cut would rip critical services from the neediest New Yorkers living with AIDS.
The documents also show that City Council fully restored the food and nutrition program run by the Momentum Project, a contract worth $995,000.
The council also restored funds for the client advocacy and representative payee program administered by GMHC at $200,000. Though this is a reduction over the previous year, state and federal matching funds may fill the gap.
Also included in the documents were funding amounts for City Council's HIV/AIDS initiatives. Communities of Color; the Injection Drug Users Health Alliance; and HIV Literacy for Seniors all saw reductions. The Faith-Based Initiative and City Council's funds for rapid testing were held harmless.
The bad news, of course, is that HASA clients will still be subject to new policies that limit HRA's contribution to brokers' fees at half a month's rent. This policy is going to prove detrimental to clients' ability to find housing. It will ultimately cost the city more money by keeping people in emergency housing for longer periods of time. This policy is something that tenants and AIDS housing advocates will continue to work on with HASA and the City Council.
The City Council is expected to vote on the budget tonight.

Yes, absolutely! Good codes should evolve into libraries. They should *aspire* to become libraries. :-) And really good libraries should try to make themselves amenable to cross-language binding... These language discussions so often appear in "or" expressions (this language "or" that one) when so many useful things can be done in an "and" manner that leverages the good bits (read: mostly the libraries, not necessarily the language features themselves) that already exist in other languages. I want to be able to write codes that can make use of the vast existing C and C++ libraries for, say, I/O or computational geometry or "systems" type programming while simultaneously using existing Fortran routines for building and integrating big systems of equations derived from PDEs, ODEs, etc. And, if at all possible, I'd like to do it without having to manually flatten and then re-assemble every single bit of information to some sort of least common denominator pointer-to-array-of syntax when I pass between the two.

Harriet Ross Tubman 2013 Centennial Commemoration
You are invited to attend a series of statewide, national and international programs, events and activities being planned to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Harriet Ross Tubman's passing. The commemoration was launched in September of last year with Tubman family members gathering at the Reginald Lewis Museum of Maryland African American History & Culture in Baltimore. Special guests included Ms. Patricia Ross Hawkins, the great-great-great niece of Harriet and other Tubman descendants from Maryland's Eastern Shore, Baltimore and Washington, DC.
Harriet Tubman, the queen of the Underground Railroad was born into American slavery in c.1822. Tubman endured almost 30 years of involuntary servitude as a Maryland slave. In 1849 she escaped from bondage. One year later, Tubman began her amazing Underground Railroad career here in Baltimore, first leading her niece and family, and for 10 years leading and assisting dozens of freedom-seekers to liberty, many all the way to Ontario. After serving in the Union Army during the Civil War, she opened a home for the sick and aged.
Guided by her faith and the indomitable power of her will and dedication to ending slavery, Tubman stated "there were two things I had a right to…my freedom or my death," insisting "she was determined to have one or the other." Fearless and undaunted, facing tremendous odds (some say she had a $40,000.00 bounty placed on her life, if captured, dead or alive) she carried on becoming the greatest leader of the Underground Railroad. General Tubman later remarked "I nev'r lost a passenger and I'se nev'r ran my train off de track". She profoundly remarked "I could've freed a thousand more if they had known they were slaves".
Here are some Tubman events scheduled for 2013:

The LBD is needed but it doesn't solve all the problems with large disks, especially if you have a single volume which is larger than 2TB. The issue we ran into was that many disk related apps like mdadm and [s]fdisk don't support the BLKGETSIZE64 ioctl. So even though your kernel is using 64 bits, some needed apps are not. There are also issues with disklabels for devices >2TB. The normal dos-style disklabel used by linux doesn't support them so you'll need a kernel patch for the "plaintext" partition table made by Andries Brouwer. If you're interested in running this on 2.6 I can give you the patch. As far as cards go I think the adaptec u320 cards are better. I've seen less scsi timeout weirdness with them (this could be related to our disks). Performance wise the lsi and adaptec are about the same.. we see ~400MB/sec when using both channels - even with a sub pci-x bus. For a couple hundred bucks a card this is really good news. --paul > i don't play much with 2.6 kernels other than on suse-9.x boxes > > > >>Also, am I being overly cautious about having a spare RAID controller on >>hand?

Lighting your baskets is weak! You must play without lights on the baskets, only lights on your discs! In fact, at WW Glow League it's against the rules to light the baskets. The only way to light a basket is if someone on your card makes it into the basket before you and is kind enough to leave their disc.Don't light your baskets! It's more fun!
Penny - Yes, using a flashlight to spot baskets is illegal at WW Glow League. I would also like to point out that using a flash light at all is detrimental to your night vision and the night vision of those on your card. Everytime you use light you see less and less. Playing the entire round in darkness is the way to go. Somtimes though, if there's enough snow, a bright moon and some cloud cover it doesn't matter anyways because the whole park is awash with light.Now that Glow is catching on, good luck to those prospective leagues. May you find oodles of success. Be sure to check the policies of the parks you are in though. Some parks aren't open after dark. Water Works has an actual time of closure regardless of the darkness, so it works out for us. If you find out that your park actually has a sunset closing time or something along that line, get a little group of well dressed well spoken individuals to plead your case to the local authority. Good luck, glad to see glow becoming so popular.
Not trying to start an argument, but what is "weak" about lighting up baskets? I'm just a rookie when it comes to glow golf, but it seems more logical to see where the baskets are.
Well weak is just an opinion! It's weak because.. you're playing in the dark for a reason : the challenge of it. Why light it up?

Ukulele jam on second Tuesday of every month 7.30pm till 9.30pm in Shoreham-by-Sea. Mini Jam on the fourth Tuesday of each month. Beginners welcome.
About us
Mini Jam on the fourth Tuesday of each month 7.30pm till 9.30pm.
Beginners welcome at both jams.
We started off as Uke at the Duke in January 2011 in response to a request to run an evening jam. The Worthing jam known as Wukulele (which has now become Lancing Ukulele Village Club) was our model and we remain close to our sister jam which is a Sunday lunchtime event. Many ukulele players attend both jams. In 2018 we became Quayside Ukes.
Quayside Ukes has its own songbooks and invites players to submit their favourites for inclusion, songs range from traditional to punk classics, there are even a few originals.
The jam meets at "The Sussex Yacht Club", 85/89 Brighton Road, Shoreham-by-Sea, BN43 6RF on the second Tuesday of each month 7.30pm till 9.30pm.
There is a mini jam on the fourth Tuesday of each month at the same time and venue.
Occasional away fixtures are played in local venues and the jam organises its own festival in September of each year at The Ropetackle Arts Centre. Many groups have formed out of the jam.
All abilities are welcome. Just come along, or if you want more information email email@example.com
Follow us on Facebook: www.facebook.com/groups/102910793112269/
Jams are led by many players and are an independent non-profit collective. There is no charge for attending our jams and no formalities, just turn up and play with us.
Friday, 22 March 2019
Our Next Jams
Mini Jam
Tuesday 26th March 2019 at 7.30pm

Portia de Rossi's new haircut gets two thumbs up from wife Ellen DeGeneres.
The talk show host, 54, swung by the set of Bethenny Frankel's new talk show, Bethenny, for a chat last week (for an episode airing Tuesday), during which Frankel asked DeGeneres about her love's new look.
Though the comedian admitted she wasn't part of the decision, DeGeneres revealed she thinks "it's adorable."
"[Portia] wanted to do it for a long time and grew up modeling, and of course you're supposed to have long hair," DeGeneres explained. "Everyone told her never to cut her hair. I think it just got to be part of her."
Still, the Arrested Development star, 39, "really, really wanted to do it for a long time and decided to," DeGeneres revealed, joking that her spouse was feeling more "liberated" as of late, as she also "got a tattoo recently and that opened the door to everything."
During the course of their talk, DeGeneres — who has been married to de Rossi for over two years now — also opened up about getting to personally thank President Barack Obama at a recent event for changing his tune on gay marriage.
"I said to him, thank you so much for what you're doing," DeGeneres shared. "He said, 'I'm just doing the right thing.' I said, 'I know. You are doing the right thing.'"

"The Cove" spotlights the annual slaughter of wild dolphins in Japan, but that did not stop the filmmakers behind the Oscar-winning documentary from using their time at the podium to decry the plight of captive mammals here in the U.S.
Oscars in hand, the filmmakers criticized the environment they believe led to the horrifying death of a trainer at SeaWorld by an orca. Blaming the captivity for the tragedy, dolphin advocate Ric O'Barry called for a boycott of popular show attractions such as SeaWorld to prevent further occurrences in the future.
"We're asking the public, please, do not buy a ticket for a dolphin show," said O'Barry, saying this is the only way to ban such popular productions. "That is the solution. The government is not going to fix this problem. The consumers have all the power."
Orcas are part of the dolphin family.
"The Cove" director Louis Psihoyos said being kept in captivity distorts the animals' true personality. 'There's never been a wild dolphin --and an orca is a wild dolphin-- in the history of man known to be killing a human being in the wild," he insisted.
"And you have one killer whale, who's been known for killing only whales, killing three human beings in one lifetime," Psihoyos continued. "If anything, this teaches us that these animals don't belong in captivity."

The Miami Heat vs. the Boston Celtics. The San Antonio Spurs vs. the Oklahoma City Thunder.
And, barely four months ago, it was the Giants vs. the 49ers and the Patriots vs. the Ravens, and, in the end, the Giants vs. the Patriots.
Tim Duncan's Spurs matching up against the Oklahoma City Thunder is a series NBA fans will love, helping people forget the ugliness of the early season labor strife. (AP photo)
Lockout? Whatâs that? You remember ... that thing that was supposed to destroy the NBAâs and NFLâs seasons, and the fansâ unbreakable loyalty along with them.
Well, at least one deluded columnist predicted that, repeatedly over the past year or so.
Wrong again.
The game is too good, again. Not the bargaining table, not the suits, not the emotional blackmail â" the game.
The NFL produced two classic conference championship games â" one went into overtime, one ended on the shanked field goal of all shanked field goals â" then turned out another unforgettable Super Bowl, one that made Eli Manning, Tom Coughlin and the Giants 2-0 against Tom Brady, Bill Belichick and the Patriots.
So, yeah, that turned out all right. OK, so the NFL and the football playersâ union apparently hate each other more now with a signed labor deal than they did without one. Give the public another postseason like last yearâs, and not a soul will care.
And the same goes for the NBA.
This had disaster written all over it, the way teams and players wore down at the end of the grind of a compressed regular season â" and the way Derrick Roseâs ACL popped in the final minutes of the Bullsâ first playoff game. You would be forgiven if you dreaded how the rest of the playoffs would unfold.
Instead ... a near-perfect pairing in both the East and the West, and a tantalizing start to both conference championship series.
The game itself always wins out, in spite of what mess gets stirred up outside of it. Itâs what makes all the negotiation battles and courtroom tussles and name-calling and posturing and threats to peopleâs livelihoods all worthwhile. Itâs why everybody â" players, owners, commissioner and fans â" gets so enraged over the business machinations.
Technically, the game canât function without all of that. But none of that would mean anything if the game didnât suck us in the way it does.
Remember the theme of the lockout summer ... âBasketball Never Stopsâ? It struck the right chord then. Itâs pitch-perfect now.
Sure, it would not have been terrible to see Chicago in the East final, instead of Boston. But the Celticsâ presence isnât just about them winning their way here, of course. Theyâre the Celtics. Theyâre the Big Three on possibly the final journey, limping their way in, trying to forget that Father Time is undefeated. And thereâs genuine history between this group and the Heat, and between this group and LeBron James.
As for the Heat ... nah, that really doesnât need explaining. If you need that explained, why are you watching in the first place? Why are you reading this, even? (Itâs fun having teams like that in the mix, isnât it?)
One game into this series, and all the storylines are still in place. The Heat kept doing what theyâd done to Indiana in the final three games of their semifinal ... after they had really pushed Americaâs basketball buttons by falling behind, 2-1, flexing and co-flexing with the underdog opponent and dragging everybody into the Dwyane Wade drama.
The Celtics, meanwhile, looked exactly like a team that barely survived a seventh game against an eighth-seeded 76ers team that would have sent fans fleeing their flat-screens had they advanced further. Nobody outside of Philly really wanted the whiff of luck, or a hint of a lockout-induced asterisk, on the conference final.
In the West, the Spurs and Thunder are merely the two best teams out there. No, we didnât get the two Hollywood teams. Not the reversal of fortune that the Clippers represent, or the soap opera of the Lakers. Just the future of the NBA in Oklahoma City, and the resurrected past that is San Antonio â" home of the stealth superstar, Tim Duncan, and of possibly the most underplayed regular season/postseason combined unbeaten streak of all time.
Itâs not easy to get old and new, past, present and future colliding in both series, with the torch either being passed or hungrily held onto in each one. We got them. Weâll be hard-pressed to take our eyes off of them the next two weeks â" especially with a game every night. The same will occur in the NBA Finals between the survivors.
After the off-court ugliness that lasted through the summer and fall and threatened winter, the game, at this level and among these teams, is just a beautiful sight.

SPRINGFIELD, IL - - The following was released today by the Illinois State Rifle Association (ISRA):
The ISRA is commending political cartoonist Joe Fournier for his courage in publishing a cartoon that plainly reveals the true sentiments of so-called gun safety advocates. The nationally syndicated cartoon, which appeared Sunday in the Chicago Tribune, depicts Vice President Joe Biden gleefully assassinating NRA CEO Wayne LaPierre with a shotgun.
Lawful firearm owners have known for a long time that the gun control movement wants us gone by any means necessary, said ISRA Executive Director Richard Pearson. A few years ago, renegade Chicago priest Mike Pfleger openly called for the snuffing of lawful firearm dealers and elected officials who oppose gun control. More recently, we heard Chicago Police Superintendent McCarthy say he would train and instruct his officers to shoot people holding concealed carry permits. Now we have a quarter-page cartoon in a major market newspaper where the Vice President of the United States appears to give the green light to murdering supporters of our 2nd Amendment. I hate to think of where this will all end.
But, in any case, continued Pearson, Id like to commend cartoonist Fournier for his Rushdie-like courage in bringing this all to a head. The gun controllers no longer need to hide behind their hallmark platitudes about protecting the children and all that is good. The gun controllers may now muster and get behind Joe Biden in executing the final solution to the gun problem. Or so they may think
- - -
The ISRA is the states leading advocate of safe, lawful and responsible firearms ownership. For more than a century, the ISRA has represented the interests of millions of law-abiding Illinois firearm owners.

Unlike some vegans who feel compelled to go against the age-old stereotype that herbivores subsist entirely on twigs and leaves, I'm not afraid to say that I love salads. Think what you may, but in my eyes, a "salad" can be just about anything, and rarely involves lettuce when I'm in charge. Truly, how would this most basic and yet complex term be defined? Anything chilled and mixed with a dressing? Think about fruit salad- A sweet twist on the concept that everyone should be quite familiar with. And then there are bean salads, grain salads, and some bewildering "salads" from down south that involve mayo, pineapple, and bacon. They don't always make sense, they aren't always healthy, and I certainly don't endorse them across the board, but it pains me to think that most people still imagine a sad bowl of limp, pale iceberg and maybe some tired old tomato wedges when I say the word "salad."
On that note, I have come bearing salad, but not one of those obligatory, unwanted side salads that must be choked down in order to get to dessert. This salad here is comprised mainly of toothsome barley, making it a more wholesome interpretation of pasta salad, in a sense. Fresh, sweet peas take advantage of the season's bounty, although frozen and thawed can absolutely work in a pinch. Add in a generous glug of vinegar for a pleasant acidic bite, a handful of chives, and you're practically done. Simple almost to the point of brainlessly easy, it's the perfect quick dish for a hot summer day, or lazy picnic any time. Just pack it up into little jars, and you're good to go. It keeps well, both refrigerated and not, so you don't have to worry about it spoiling while you go play outside.
Barley and Fresh Pea Salad
2 Cups Cooked Barley
1 Cup Shelled Peas, Blanched, or Frozen and Thawed
3 Ounces Vegan "Feta"
2 Tablespoons Rice Vinegar
1 Tablespoon Umeboshi Vinegar
1 Tablespoons Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
1/4 Cup Fresh Chopped Chives
2 Tablespoons Fresh Chopped Parsley
Salt and Pepper, to Taste
A salad like this hardly needs instructions, but here goes: Toss the cooked barley and peas in a bowl, crumble in the "feta," drizzle in both vinegars and oil. Add the chopped herbs and toss well. Taste, and add salt and pepper as desired. Serve immediately, or cover and chill for up to three days.
Serves 4 – 6 as a Side Dish

IB tried to do everything for a while, which I think most people would agree led to bloat. what I'm interested in is, having at least a toe-hold in HPC (MPI), whether it can branch out into storage again without undue complication and vendor-closing. a relatively transparent means of translating to the world at large (IP) would also be valuable. (it's the latter where ethernet shines, of course, though ethernet addressing is no more native to IP than IB is...)

If they work "out of the box" on your particular setup, great. However, if they don't work then you are into a world of pain working out whether it is your storage controller, SAN fabric, HBA, multipath implementation, kernel, partition table or filesystem which is broken. It gets especially bad in SAN environments where you have multiple kernel/storage combinations. Keeping luns < 2TB means that there is a reasonable expectation that things will keep on working when you change the storage presentation.

G2 was a science fiction fanzine by Joe Gibson and Robbie Gibson.
G2 was released in the 1960s in El Sobrante, California, U.S.A. The first issue was published June 1961. The last issue, Vol. 6 #1, appeared in January 1967. During the time it was published, G2 came out monthly.
Letters came from Harry Warner, Jr. (Horizons), among others.
Joe Gibson, originally from Albuquerque, New Mexico, was a science fiction writer who was writing for pulp magazines such as Thrilling Wonder Stories, Amazing Stories, Galaxy, and Science Fiction Quarterly during the 1940s, until he went off to fight in WW II, but resumed writing in the 1950s. He had begun contributing to fanzines, such as Spectra by Arthur Louis Joquel, in the 1940s, and Inside in the 1950s. In 1955, he and Roberta Collins married but it wasn't till ten years later that they would decide to do a fanzine together.
Along with G2, he also released the fanzine, The Damned Patrol, organized for SF fans who were also interested in aviation. John Berry, Terry Jeeves, and Beryl Mercer were his co-editors for five issues of this U.S.A. - UK joint release.
Joe Gibson was awarded a Retro Hugo for best fan artist for 1946 in 1996.

When measuring yourself to determine what size product you may need, its important to measure the widest part of your body between your belly button and your hips.
Overflow incontinence is involuntary urination. The bladder muscles are unable to contain urine under pressure and feel like the bladder is unable to be emptied completely.
No. Cutting back on fluid intake can lead to dehydration, constipation and irritation of the bladder. It is true that certain types of fluids should be avoided such as alcohol and caffeine that irritate the bladder.
No, doubling up on products that contain a moisture barrier will not increase absorption. Briefs, disposable underwear and pads/ liners are typically designed with a moisture proof backing that stops the urine from passing through. This approach to adding more capacity or addressing leakage concerns only works if the second product is a "flow-through" design with no moisture proof backing.
Latex-Free means that the product is not made from natural rubber (latex) or doesn't contain any natural rubber.

Formation and Education for the Life of the Church
Some people think that monks who live in monastic communities,
such as Saint Meinrad Archabbey, spend the whole day praying in
church or in their cells (rooms). However, just like most everyone
else today, monks are very busy people doing their assigned and
chosen work for a normal eight-hour workday.
Monks today work in a variety of jobs that are also found
outside the monastery. These include being professors, writers,
editors, artists, musicians, psychologists, printing press and
business office managers and workers, computer experts in the IT
department, delivering mail and attending classes. They also
minister to guests, are pastors in local parishes, and minister to
the poor and incarcerated in nearby communities.
This work is important in a Benedictine community, such as Saint
Meinrad Archabbey, along, of course, with prayer. The basis of
Benedictine spirituality is a balance between prayer and work,
termed ora et labora, with prayer coming first.
It is practiced all over the world by Benedictine monks and lay
members of Benedictine communities called "oblates." Oblates
include lay women and men, diocesan priests and a few seminary and
theology students, who live their normal, daily lives in the
secular world rather than in a monastery.
Oblates attempt to pray at least the morning and evening Divine
Office, also called Liturgy of the Hours, which is a reading of
psalms slated for that day, generally in private. They also read
from the Rule, compiled by St. Benedict, the sixth-century monk who
founded the Benedictine order. This Rule is a blueprint for living
a God-centered and balanced life. However, one does not need to be
a monk or nun, or even an oblate of a community, to pray the psalms
or read from the Rule.
In the Archabbey Church, the daily Office, or prayer cycle,
includes early morning prayer (Vigils and Lauds) before breakfast,
noon prayer before lunch, Vespers (evening prayer) before dinner,
and Compline before bed. Oblates in the world generally do not have
the luxury of time for all of these daily prayer times.
The monks, however, embrace this cycle of prayer along with
their work and recreation. Yes, the monks have fun and do a variety
of recreational activities, just like people in the outside world.
They work out to keep fit, play cards and other games, read, play
golf, keep bees and hobby flower and vegetable gardens, do art and
craft work, and watch sports on TV. They also have vacation time,
when they often travel or visit family.
Another aspect of Benedictine spirituality is hospitality. That
is why Benedictine monastic communities are friendly and guests are
always welcome to visit. The Benedictine oblate also attempts to
live his or her life by being friendly and respectful of all people
they encounter. As the old saying goes, "You can catch more flies
with honey than with vinegar." Prayer, work and hospitality go a
long way to help live a balanced life, which many people report
gives them purpose and meaning in today's harried and stressful

Introducción a Zend Framework
Aprendiendo Zend Framework
Referencia de Zend Framework
The following adapters are shipped with Zend Framework by default.
Zend_Captcha_Word is an abstract adapter that serves as the base
class for most other CAPTCHA adapters. It provides mutators for
specifying word length, session TTL, the session namespace object
to use, and the session namespace class to use for persistence if
you do not wish to use
Zend_Captcha_Word encapsulates validation logic.
By default, the word length is 8 characters, the session timeout is
5 minutes, and
Zend_Session_Namespace is used for persistence
(using the namespace "
Zend_Form_Captcha_<captcha ID>").
In addition to the methods required by the
Zend_Captcha_Adapter interface,
Zend_Captcha_Word exposes the following methods:
setWordLen($length) and
getWordLen() allow you to specify the length of the
generated "word" in characters, and to retrieve the current value.
setTimeout($ttl) and
getTimeout() allow you to specify the time-to-live of
the session token, and to retrieve the current value.
should be specified in seconds.
setUseNumbers($numbers) and
getUseNumbers() allow you to specify if numbers will be
considered as possible characters for the random work or only letters would be
setSessionClass($class) and
getSessionClass() allow you to specify an
Zend_Session_Namespace implementation to
use to persist the CAPTCHA token and to retrieve the
current value.
getId() allows you to retrieve the current token
getWord() allows you to retrieve the generated
word to use with the CAPTCHA. It will generate the word for
you if none has been generated yet.
setSession(Zend_Session_Namespace $session) allows
you to specify a session object to use for persisting the
CAPTCHA token.
getSession() allows
you to retrieve the current session object.
All word CAPTCHAs allow you to pass an array of options to the
constructor, or, alternately, pass them to
setOptions(). You can also pass a
Zend_Config object to
setConfig(). By
default, the wordLen, timeout, and
sessionClass keys may all be used. Each concrete
implementation may define additional keys or utilize the options in
other ways.
Zend_Captch_Dumb adapter is mostly self-descriptive. It
provides a random string that must be typed in reverse to validate. As such, it's
not a good CAPTCHA solution and should only be used for
testing. It extends
Zend_Captcha_Figlet adapter utilizes
Zend_Text_Figlet to present
a figlet to the user.
Options passed to the constructor will also be passed to the
Zend_Text_Figlet object.
See the
documentation for details on what configuration options are available.
Zend_Captcha_Image adapter takes the generated word and
renders it as an image, performing various skewing permutations to make it
difficult to automatically decipher. It
requires the GD extension
compiled with TrueType or Freetype support. Currently, the
Zend_Captcha_Image adapter can only generate
PNG images.
Zend_Captcha_Image extends
Zend_Captcha_Word, and additionally exposes the
following methods:
setExpiration($expiration) and
getExpiration() allow you to specify a maximum
lifetime the CAPTCHA image may reside on the filesystem.
This is typically a longer than the session lifetime. Garbage
collection is run periodically each time the CAPTCHA object
is invoked, deleting all images that have expired.
Expiration values should be specified in seconds.
setGcFreq($gcFreq) and
getGcFreg() allow you to specify how frequently garbage
collection should run. Garbage collection will run every
1/$gcFreq calls. The default is 100.
setFont($font) and
allow you to specify the font you will use.
should be a fully qualified path to the font file.
This value is required; the CAPTCHA will throw an
exception during generation if the font file has not been specified.
setFontSize($fsize) and
getFontSize() allow you to specify the font size in
pixels for generating the CAPTCHA. The default is 24px.
setHeight($height) and
getHeight() allow you to specify the height in pixels
of the generated CAPTCHA image. The default is 50px.
setWidth($width) and
getWidth() allow you to specify the width in pixels of
the generated CAPTCHA image. The default is 200px.
setImgDir($imgDir) and
getImgDir() allow you to specify the directory for
storing CAPTCHA images. The default is
./images/captcha/", relative to the bootstrap script.
setImgUrl($imgUrl) and
getImgUrl() allow you to specify the relative path to
a CAPTCHA image to use for HTML markup.
The default is "
setSuffix($suffix) and

Evergreen should be proud of Jazz Festival
While the experience is fresh, let me express my appreciation for the work the board and staff of the Evergreen Jazz Festival has done since my resignation in 2011. The community can stand proud of the very recent production of the festival.
Thanks to everyone who helped with Evergreen Music Festival
On behalf of the Evergreen Music Festival and Art Show, we would like to thank all those who help make this celebration of our country through beautiful music, family, friends and community possible:
Recent wildfires show need to step up mitigation efforts
No peach-sale fund-raiser this year
To the mountain community:
Thank you for your continued support of the Rotary Club of Conifer's peach-sale fund-raiser since 1999.
We are sorry to announce that due to two cycles of freezing and flooding, Palisade peaches are not available this year. Because we use only the best peaches grown in Colorado for our fund-raiser, we are unable to purchase the peaches necessary for this year's sale.
Thanks for help with town hall meeting
The Evergreen Pathfinders wish to thank all of the financial supporters, speakers and guests who made the first Evergreen town hall meeting a huge success. Thank you to those who set up chairs, baked cookies, provided the sound and video equipment, and cleaned up afterward.
Fire departments, Sheriff's Office deserve thanks and credit
Authorities must address traffic jam on fire evacuation route
I live off Buffalo Park Road.
On June 3, I received a Level 3 alert call to evacuate immediately, and I did exactly that.
Now, I am not complaining about the fire department or the emergency-notification call. But something must be done about the evacuation process.
Schools' plan to test inBloom was carefully considered, communicated
A recent letter to the editor stated that "Jefferson County Schools has decided to put all student personal information in a national database called 'inBloom.' It has done this secretly without any prior input from parents and taxpayers."

text: EAC Command-Line Arguments for FLAC 2012-02-23 09:52:18 I am setting up Exact Audio Copy on my computer, and before I begin ripping my collection I am curious to see if anyone has any suggestions for improving the command-line arguments that EAC will be passing to FLAC for encoding.I have ripped to FLAC in the past but I didn't really study FLAC or EAC beforehand, and probably just used the default arguments that came with EAC.I know this is a matter of personal preference, but I am just wondering if anyone has some good encoding or tagging ideas I didn't think of. Also, I am not very familiar with the technical side of FLAC, encoding, or tagging in general, and want to make sure I am doing things correctly and not causing any unforeseen problems with my output FLAC files.To begin with, I found an old recommendation at http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index....showtopic=30959(Forum post titled "Eli's Suggested EAC settings for FLAC, See wiki for official EAC guides"):-6 -V -T "artist=%a" -T "title=%t" -T "album=%g" -T "date=%y" -T "tracknumber=%n" -T "genre=%m" -T comment="%e" -T "comment=EAC (Secure Mode)" %sI read some of the FLAC documentation and mostly figured out what those arguments do (except for a couple of things I will explain below).I decided I wanted to compress at level 8 instead of level 6 because I don't mind a longer encoding time and I don't have many albums to rip, so I changed -6 to -8. I also learned that the placeholders in EAC have changed since that recommendation was posted, so I updated those.Lastly, I decided to eliminate -T comment="%e" (or -T comment="%comment%" with the updated placeholder) for a few reasons: I wasn't planning on entering another comment on the "Comment" tab in the EAC Compression Options; it isn't clear to me what would happen if I gave FLAC two comment arguments, even if I left the Comment field blank in EAC; and I don't know why the quotation marks are only around the placeholder instead of the entire argument in Eli's recommendation. I wondered if there was a reason why he put comment="%e" instead of "comment=%e%", similar to how he wrote the other arguments, or if it was just a typo. (It would be great if anyone could explain either of those questions!)So I arrived at:-8 -V -T "artist=%artist%" -T "title=%title%" -T "album=%albumtitle%" -T "date=%year%" -T "tracknumber=%tracknr%" -T "genre=%genre%" -T "comment=Ripped Using EAC (Secure Mode)" %source%Then when I went to actually paste this into the box in the EAC Compression Options, I saw that the default arguments in EAC covered all of those fields and more. So I thought to myself, "Why not fill in those other fields too?" and arrived at the following arguments:-8 -V -T "ARTIST=%artist%" -T "TITLE=%title%" -T "ALBUM=%albumtitle%" -T "DATE=%year%" -T "TRACKNUMBER=%tracknr%" -T "GENRE=%genre%" -T "COMMENT=Ripped Using EAC (Secure Mode)" -T "BAND=%albuminterpret%" -T "ALBUMARTIST=%albuminterpret%" -T "COMPOSER=%composer%" %haslyrics%--tag-from-file=LYRICS="%lyricsfile%"%haslyrics% -T "DISCNUMBER=%cdnumber%" -T "TOTALDISCS=%totalcds%" -T "TOTALTRACKS=%numtracks%" %hascover%--picture="%coverfile%"%hascover% %source% -o %dest%Perhaps -o %dest% is required for the output files to follow the naming scheme I specified in the EAC options, but then I'm not sure why it wasn't included in Eli's recommendation. I also don't know what the %lyricsfile% or %coverfile% would be, but I assume it is safe to include those in the output FLAC files.So I am just wondering if anyone has any comments on my FLAC arguments, any improvements I can make, anything I might want to add or remove for any reason, and if anyone can clarify some of the things I don't understand. Is there any unofficial (or official) standards for FLAC tagging or tagging in general that I should know about? Will the above arguments transfer all of the CD-Text from the CD to my FLAC files? Is there any reason I wouldn't want to do that? Can these arguments cause any unforeseen problems with my output FLAC files? What happens if I provide two comments to FLAC, as recommended by Eli? Why did Eli use the quotation marks differently in -T comment="%e"? Why didn't Eli include -o %dest% in his recommendation? What is the meaning of life?Sorry if that last question is off-topic.Thanks everyone!

Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda will be clocking in together once again.
The actresses, who co-starred in the classic 1980 workplace comedy "9 to 5," will team up again in "Grace and Frankie," a new single-camera sitcom for Netflix. The series also boasts a creative team that includes Howard J. Morris, writer and producer of 'Sullivan & Son," and Marta Kauffman, co-creator of a little show known as "Friends" as well as "Dream On," an early original series on HBO.
Through 13 half-hour episodes, "Grace and Frankie" will explore the relationship between two women in their twilight years, Grace (Fonda) and Frankie (Tomlin). Long-time rivals, they are unexpectedly brought together when their husbands declare their love for each other and announce plans to get married. According to Netflix, "The women find their lives both turned upside down and to their dismay, permanently intertwined. Eventually, to their surprise, they find they have each other."
"Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin are among the funniest and most formidable actresses ever and it's an incredible privilege to give them the opportunity to run riot on Netflix," said Ted Sarandos, Netflix chief content officer. "The show created for them by Marta and Howard is warm, very funny and anything but wholesome. We can't wait."
Neither actress is a stranger to the small screen: Fonda recently appeared in the HBO drama "The Newsroom" while Tomlin currently stars in Showtime's "Web Therapy."
The comedy is scheduled to premiere on the online streaming service in 2015.

Is NBC's 2012 lineup good or bad news for the network's Thursday future?
Now that NBC has announced its fall schedule (see it here), it's time to start over-analyzing its choices.
The biggest surprise in the schedule is that not a single new show will premiere on Thursday night. Typical network thinking states that you should use your successful programming blocks to launch new shows. (This approach has worked well for years for CBS on Monday nights.) And even though NBC is languishing in fourth place as a network, it still counts aging "The Office" among its top performers. So it usually debuts a new show after it every fall. Until now, apparently.
The Thursday comedy block will be filled with all returning shows (though slightly reordered) — "30 Rock," "Up All Night," "The Office" and "Parks and Recreation."… Read More »

50 Years Ago: The Rolling Stones Arrive in America
On June 1, 1964, America was first introduced to a group of five long-haired English lads who called themselves the Rolling Stones. Though they had become a hit in England, the U.S. was only vaguely aware of this new band. Indeed, their first album, 'England's Newest Hit Makers' had only just been released in America two days before their arrival.
In spite of their status, when their plane touched down at J.F.K. Airport in New York City, much as the Beatles had been four months earlier, they were greeted by a throng of something like 500 screaming girls and a press conference eager to get the jump on the supposed next big thing. They were shouted at about the same topics that their fab brethren had been earlier, their hair, their accents, etc., until they were taken to the Astor Hotel. That's where all hell broke loose.
Bassist Bill Wyman recalled the scene when they pulled up to the hotel in his book 'Stone Alone,' "Police started pulling us out, saying, 'Run! It's every man for himself," he wrote. "In seconds the hotel reception became an insane asylum. Mick [Jagger] and I made a mad dash into the lobby, and Hilda Skarfe of Song Hits magazine raced after us, followed by about 70 screaming girls, with police close behind…we ran into a laundry closet by mistake and we were trapped. It was like a scene from a movie!"
Once the band had managed to extricate themselves from the mob, they gave another press conference and then were summarily whisked away to WINS Radio to be interviewed on the air by noted DJ Murray the K. The jockey chatted with the group for a bit before playing their song, 'Not Fade Away.' After the red light went off, K played a song for the Stones by another group called the Valentinos called, 'It's All Over Now,' and suggested to them that it might be a good idea if they came out with their own version. The song would later go on to become the Stones' first No. 1 hit in the U.K.
The group stayed in New York for two days doing a variety of press events mixed in with a little sightseeing until they flew to Los Angeles to tape an appearance on Dean Martin's 'Hollywood Palace.' Dino wasn't exactly kind to the band in his introduction, which still rankled Keith Richards so many years later as he wrote about in his acclaimed autobiography, 'Life.'
"In America then, if you had long hair, you were a f----- as well as a freak," Richards explained. "Dean Martin introduced us as something like, 'these long-haired wonders from England, the Rolling Stones…They're backstage picking fleas off one another.' A lot of sarcasm and eye rolling."
Nevertheless, the band came ready to play and let loose with a pretty tight cover of the Willie Dixon classic, 'I Just Want to Make Love to You.' After the song Martin came back on and cracked a number of jokes at the Stones' expense before they came back out to perform 'Not Fade Away.' Ultimately, when the show aired two weeks later on ABC, their whole appearance was edited down to a mere 65-second segment. Bob Dylan, in the liner notes to his 1964 release, 'Another Side of Bob Dylan' made note of the debacle writing, "Dean Martin should apologize t' the Rolling Stones."
Watch the Rolling Stones Perform on 'Hollywood Palace'
After making it past the Rat Packer, the group embarked on a short 12-date tour of the country with their first show set for the Orange Show Fairgrounds in San Bernardino, California on June 5. This was followed up by two dates at the Teen Fair of Texas in San Antonio on the 6 and 7. The stint in Texas is especially notable for being the place where Richards picked up his first pistol, which would become an American tour fixture in the years to come.
Three days later, for a band of devoted blues followers, they received the thrill of a lifetime when they were booked for two back-to-back days of studio time at the famed Chess Records in Chicago. "2120 South Michigan Avenue was hallowed ground," Richards wrote in 'Life.' "We got there on a last-minute arrangement by [manager] Andrew Oldham…There in the perfect sound studio, in the room where everything we listened to was made, perhaps out of relief or just the fact that people like Buddy Guy, Chuck Berry and Willie Dixon were wandering in and out, we recorded 14 tracks in two days."
Of course, there exists the long-scrutinized story about the band running into their hero Muddy Waters who was painting the ceiling, but to this day, Richards swears by the tale. "Marshall Chess says, 'Oh, we never had him painting,'" Richards wrote. "But Marshall was a boy then; he was working in the basement. And also Bill Wyman told me he actually remembers Muddy Waters taking out amplifiers from the car into the studio."
After finishing up at Chess, the band left for the next show in Minnesota, and wound their way through the Midwest, Pennsylvania and New York. The tour culminated with an appearance on the Clay Cole Saturday Show followed by a two-set concert at New York City's venerable Carnegie Hall.
With the tour officially in the books, Mick and Keith decided to celebrate with a trip up to Harlem. "Mick and I hadn't come all the way to New York in '64 not to go the Apollo," Richards recalled. "James Brown had the whole week there at the Apollo. Go to the Apollo and see James Brown, damn f----ing right. I mean, who would turn that down?"
In the end, while it may not have exactly felt like a triumph, the trip proved to be a success. It gave the Rolling Stones the first foothold in a country they would completely dominate in the coming years. Perhaps drummer Charlie Watts summed it up best in the book 'According to the Rolling Stones' when he said, "America was a joke when we arrived, but by the time we left we had an audience and by the time we came back we had made a hit record. It was all uphill, but the audience grew every time."

However, our management folks don't like these cluster vendors because they aren't big enough. They like the large 2 or 3 letter companies or the short name companies :) These companies won't or didn't quote Linux as part of the integrated cluster. They forced us to buy it and they would install it. Not the best choice in my opinion (which I love to point out to management every time I can), but the decision was made by those higher than me who seemingly share one brain cell. Every time I warn management that large does not mean stable and that Enron and Worldcom are perfect examples, they say that the fate of these two companies won't befall the large computer vendors. When I mention to them that Enron and Worldcom said the same thing and even said that they had money in the bank when they went bankrupt (oh, the wonders of creative accounting), they mumble something and then stop talking about it. I also point out that the companies with the most cluster experience and who sell more cluster systems (i.e. nodes) than anyone else is not a big initial or short name company. They DEFINITELY don't like to hear this. When you throw in that these cluster companies are also usually cheaper, management gets down right irate! Then those familiar words come floating out, "Jeff - shut up." That's about the closest I've come to a compliment yet. So, I hope from my rant - part deux - you see my problem. You can also see that rgb has been a bad influence on me in my mailing list posts :) Thanks!
