 To build only parts needed for dtrain do
 ```
   autoreconf -ifv
-  ./configure [--disable-gtest]
-  cd dtrain/; make
+  ./configure
+  cd training/dtrain/; make
 ```
 
 Running
 -------
-To run this on a dev set locally:
-```
-    #define DTRAIN_LOCAL
-```
-otherwise remove that line or undef, then recompile. You need a single
-grammar file or input annotated with per-sentence grammars (psg) as you
-would use with cdec. Additionally you need to give dtrain a file with
-references (--refs) when running locally.
-
-The input for use with hadoop streaming looks like this:
-```
-    <sid>\t<source>\t<ref>\t<grammar rules separated by \t>
-```
-To convert a psg to this format you need to replace all "\n"
-by "\t". Make sure there are no tabs in your data.
-
-For an example of local usage (with the 'distributed' format)
-the see test/example/ . This expects dtrain to be built without
-DTRAIN_LOCAL.

+europe 's divided racial house
+a common feature of europe 's extreme right is its racism and use of the immigration issue as a political wedge .
+the lega nord in italy , the vlaams blok in the netherlands , the supporters of le pen 's national front in france , are all examples of parties or movements formed on the common theme of aversion to immigrants and promotion of simplistic policies to control them .
+while individuals like jorg haidar and jean @-@ marie le pen may come and ( never to soon ) go , the race question will not disappear from european politics anytime soon .
+an aging population at home and ever more open borders imply increasing racial fragmentation in european countries .
+mainstream parties of the center left and center right have confronted this prospect by hiding their heads in the ground , hoping against hope that the problem will disappear .
+it will not , as america 's racial history clearly shows .
+race relations in the us have been for decades - and remain - at the center of political debate , to the point that racial cleavages are as important as income , if not more , as determinants of political preferences and attitudes .
+the first step to address racial politics is to understand the origin and consequences of racial animosity , even if it means uncovering unpleasant truths .
+this is precisely what a large amount of research in economics , sociology , psychology and political science has done for the us .

+europe 's divided racial house
+a common feature of europe 's extreme right is its racism and use of the immigration issue as a political wedge .
+the lega nord in italy , the vlaams blok in the netherlands , the supporters of le pen 's national front in france , are all examples of parties or movements formed on the common theme of aversion to immigrants and promotion of simplistic policies to control them .
+while individuals like jorg haidar and jean @-@ marie le pen may come and ( never to soon ) go , the race question will not disappear from european politics anytime soon .
+an aging population at home and ever more open borders imply increasing racial fragmentation in european countries .

+race relations in the us have been for decades - and remain - at the center of political debate , to the point that racial cleavages are as important as income , if not more , as determinants of political preferences and attitudes .
+the first step to address racial politics is to understand the origin and consequences of racial animosity , even if it means uncovering unpleasant truths .
+this is precisely what a large amount of research in economics , sociology , psychology and political science has done for the us .
