Errata- 3 submitted: last submission 12 Dec 2013
Errata type: Image Page number: 20
At the bottom of the image the word "Java" is misspelled as "Jawa"
Errata type: Code Page: 71
At the bottom of the page, the command line for running the silent install for Windows reads:
IBMIMc.exe --launcher.ini silent-install.ini -input c:\temp\was8_install.xml l -log c:\temp\was8\silent_install_log.xml
The "l" (in red above) between "was8_install.xml" and "-log" is mistaken and should be removed for the command to work. so the correct command is as follows:
IBMIMc.exe --launcher.ini silent-install.ini -input c:\temp\was8_install.xml -log c:\temp\was8\silent_install_log.xml
Errata type: Code Page: 211
Under step 2, the command line has some errors, the correct one is as follows (the correction is highlighted):
cscript.exe //Nologo <scripts_home>\windows\listapps.vbs

We, on this trip, do not see this as a typical service trip for we believe that we go to immerse ourselves into the glory of God found in this Ecuadorian community. Our reality of privilege, as members of the United States and this Marquette University, allows us many opportunities not afforded to most people of the world. The purpose of this immersion trip is to be more aware of those privileges and to possibly leave them behind as we immerse ourselves into their culture. As a result, we will strive to avoid the excesses common to most affluent tourists. Therefore, the program asks its participants to commit to a simple, rustic lifestyle with limitations to showers, simple meals, a youth hostel sleeping quarters, a "no headphones" request and a willingness to experience community in a deeply meaningful way.
While all students are welcome to participate, this program is structured in a way that promotes spiritual reflection, prayer, and group processing.

Todd Woody, Forbes Staff
I cover environmental and green technology issues from San Francisco.
Page 2 of 2
The firm, which sprang from collaboration with scientists at Oregon State University, uses industrial-strength software from Ansys and other companies to evaluate the performance of hundreds of designs and simulate the impact of monster waves, earthquakes and tsunamis on a wave generator.
"There's not a lot of history in terms of what's required for a wave energy device to withstand the wide range of conditions out in the ocean," says Jim Cashman, chief executive of Ansys, a $6 billion company whose software is used to design everything from jetliners to offshore oil rigs. "These are very, very complex systems and involve a heavy capital investment, so the cost of being wrong gets to be very high."
Columbia Power ran through more than 350 iterations of the latest version of the SeaRay to find the optimal shape for the device and to remove complexity to minimize maintenance costs and the frequency of breakdowns miles from shore. "That's a lot of number crunching, and ten years ago we would have never been able to do this," notes Lesemann.
Certainly not for the $4 million Columbia Power has raised from angel investors and another $8.5 million in grants from the Department of Energy and the U.S. Navy. As we circle the SeaRay on the Puget Sound, Lesemann points out that each of the device's two fiberglass wings, which are attached to a cylindrical nacelle, are directly connected to a magnetic generator. As the wings rise and fall in the waves, magnets move up and down a generator coil to create a magnetic field that produces voltage.
That means far fewer moving parts compared with most wave generators, which use pistons or hydrologic systems to generate electricity. "We think the device, regardless of how complex the engineering is, has to be really simple," says Lesemann, who claims Columbia Power will be able to generate electricity for a third to half the cost of competitors. "We effectively make electricity with two moving parts."
Columbia Power plans to pull the SeaRay from the water in March, having accumulated a year's worth of data on its performance, and build the full-scale, 80-foot-long Manta wave generator for deployment in 2013. Lesemann expects it'll take $30 million to move into production.
McCrone of Bloomberg New Energy Finance says the true price of wave energy won't be known until mass deployment begins, sometime after 2020. "I think the opportunity is still there," he notes, "and if anything the opportunity is confirmed as being bigger than people might have thought before."
Having worked at a submarine builder I'm always leery of any construction that goes in sea water. It is an intensely corrosive environment. I expect the building and maintenance costs to be huge.
Hello mikte15,
You are of course correct that sea water is extremely corrosive, particularly to those metal surfaces which might as an anode. However oil derricks have been operating in the open ocean for decades in a manner somewhat similar to the proposed ocean wave device without undue costs due to corrosion. There are materials design exactly to resist this type of corrosion. For example there are materials that can act as a "dimensionally stable anode" (DSA). Normally in seawater a metallic anode would be "sacrificial", that is to say it would loose material and it dimensions would unstable. This is exactly the same situation in industrial processes that produce chlorine and bromine, a brine solution is place between an anode and cathode and very high currents ar applied. This is an even more corrosive environment than sea water. DSAs are used in the manufacture of chlorine and bromine without corrosive loss. Similar materials are routinely used on off-shore oil platforms and can last for many years.
Don't forget about Maine. There are several companies here working on tidal power. This is from the Bangor Daily News: (http://bangordailynews.com/2012/01/20/business/federal-reports-highlight-untapped-energy-potential-of-maine-tides-waves/?ref=latest): "'Maine's wave and tidal current resources offer real opportunities to generate renewable energy using water power technologies in the future,' Energy Secretary Steven Chu said in a statement. … For tidal energy, Maine had the third-highest potential behind Alaska and Washington in terms of the total theoretical generation capacity and the number of tidal "hot spots." … Later this spring, Ocean Renewable Power Co. (http://www.orpc.co/) plans to install underwater turbines similar to giant paddle wheels in the waters near Eastport and Lubec to capture the world's largest tidal range — the vertical distance between high and low tides — flowing from the Bay of Fundy. That range is sometimes as much as 50 feet in the area."
Our oceans are vast clean energy sources just waiting to be tapped. Nice to see Tidal gaining momentum, along with Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion. Creating base-load power from the temperature difference in shallow and deep water. So many tropical regions pay enormous fuel costs, and turning to their own oceans as a source of energy could pave the way for a more sustainable future and economy for much of the developing world.

Wednesday night's nor'easter left the East End with just under an inch of rain, but Mother Nature isn't finished -- snow could be on the way for the weekend, officials predict.
According to Joey Picca, meteorologist with the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration, the heaviest precipitation from Wednesday night's nor'easter moved to the north Thursday morning, with low pressure moving away from the East End area.
Thursday, he said, could bring some showers and light rain, with some "gusty" winds upwards of 35 miles per hour "not out of the question." Sustained north/northwest winds of 20 to 25 miles per hour are expected Thursday, Picca said.
All in all, the East End saw just slightly less than an inch of rain Wednesday night, with Westhampton Beach reporting .99 of an inch, Montauk Point, .92 of an inch and Bridgehampton reportedly receiving .96 of an inch.
But Mother Nature's not finished: Snow could be on the way soon, experts predict.
According to Dan Hofmann, NOAA meteorologist, not too far behind Wednesday night's nor'easter, a new storm is brewing. Another dip in the jet stream could cause a low pressure area to develop near the southeastern United States or mid-Atlantic Coast, Hofmann said.
"Depending on the exact track, it looks like anything that falls could be mostly snow this time," Hofmann said.
Although it is not possible yet to predict exactly how much snow could fall on the East End, Hofmann said, an accumulation of snow is "definitely" a possibility.
"Some of the forecast models are little more aggressive in terms of the storm's intensity," Hofmann said. "The more intense the storm, and the closer to the coast, the more potential for heavier snow. But the we can't really iron out the details at this point. It's a little early to say."

by Doug Toburen
Parsons, Kansas —
The 75th Elk County Livestock and Conservation Tour was held recently in rural Elk County, Kansas.
Although a number of timely topics were discussed one common theme surfaced—water quality and its effect on cattle.
As nearly 50 attendees caravanned across the countryside one of the stops was at the Alan and Brenda Coble farm.
David Criger, Elk County soil conservation tecnician with the Natural Resources Conservation Service, explained the brush clearing and weed control measures taken to improve pastures.
The Cobles have done such a good job on their land they were recently named the 2011 Soil Conservation Award winner.
Alan Coble shared his experiences of putting in a pond tank watering system.
"After all the work we did we looked at the pond and wanted to keep it clean so we decided to put in a concrete waterer and fence the pond off from the cattle," he explained.
According to Dane Varney, an NRCS range management specialist who helped with the project, fencing a pond completely off has a number of benefits.
"By fencing cattle out of the pond, erosion of the pond dam is reduced and water quality is increased," he said. "We have seen cattle losses with poor water quality."
Both Criger and Varney discussed the disadvantages of having cattle standing in ponds, citing research that showed the amounts of fecal matter in the pond and the disease that could be spread through the herd.
"By isolating the water supply water quantity and quality are improved in addition to improving herd health," Varney explained.
According to him, the concrete watering system is gravity-fed and a rock apron was used in front of the system to eliminate problems with mud.
"Any type of watering system like this is a good conservation program and there are some cost-share dollars available for these systems," he said. "In addition, you are extending your pond life and you don't have to worry about cleaning the pond out as much."
Varney closed by telling those on the tour that he is interested in keeping family ranches intact and practices like this help spread dollars and make that a possibility.
Doug Shoup, K-State southeast area agronomist was on-site at the next stop to discuss alfalfa management.
According to him, the last couple of years haven't been too hard on alfalfa from a pest standpoint. The drought, however, was hard on yields.
"We did see some weevil problems but nothing major," he explained.
For alfalfa establishment, the agronomist recommended looking at Roundup Ready varieties.
"Although Roundup Ready varieties aren't necessarily new, there are several varieties available now that offer excellent weed control," Shoup said. "Keep in mind they are pretty expensive, though."
Shoup recommended producers evaluate weed pressure issues then make a price comparison by placing values on cost of seed, chemical, etc.
For those planning on planting alfalfa Shoup urged them to get a soil sample.
"The number one problem with new stands of alfalfa is not having the correct soil pH," he said. "Getting this right in the beginning is the key to a successful stand."
According to him, soil pH needs to be around 6.5 to 7.5.
Finally, he made some recommendations when it came to cutting height.
"Both cutting height and timing can reduce alfalfa stands," he said. "Cutting too low, especially on new stands of alfalfa can damage the crown."
The next stop on the tour was on the Dan Miller farm where that recurring theme of water quality was revisited. Miller showed tour attendees a pond he built and fenced off that features an entryway from which cattle drink.
The structure was built in 2007 and is a 10-ft. deep pit-type pond with no dam.
"After fencing the pond off I left a 15-ft entry way for cattle to walk up and drink out of it," Miller said.
The entryway was dug down to the pond then textile was laid and gravel was put over the top. As the entryway deepens, welded wire panels were added to each side to keep cattle from having access to getting in the pond or walking around it.
As questions arose about the comfort of the cattle walking on the rock, David Criger once again addressed the crowd by saying, by accident they found it may not be comfortable for them to walk or stand on but it isn't harmful.
"In fact, it actually is a benefit. Cattle seem to walk up get a drink and then walk back out to the pasture to graze," he concluded.£

Quantum of Content and innovations in user experience
As reported in PatentlyApple, "Apple has received a major Granted Patent that generally relates to establishing financial transaction rules for controlling a subsidiary financial account and, more particularly, to various systems, methods, and electronic devices configured to provide for the establishment of such rules." Sounds pretty broad. What does it mean?
It means that Apple will be able to link mobile purchases to your iTunes account. It means that one will be able to administer complex, rule based account management between your iTunes account and linked financial accounts. It means that parents and companies can limit the use of the electronic payment devices of their charges in vey supple ways. In short, it gives Apple dominion over a very robust set of hierarchical, identity based account management techniques whose applications are legion.
You know how gnarly it is to figure out the provenance of media between different Apple IDs in your household? The technology behind this patent could help solve that problem for users, as well.
Assuming that Apple has figured out the security aspect of Near Field Communication (NFC) better than Google has with their Wallet, there is every reason to assume that they will come up with a better user implementation for mobile payments than their competitors and (unlike a wildcard startup) they have the user base to roll it out at scale very quickly. If I were Intuit or Square, I would be worried.
Google, by the way, better have those security issues nailed since Reuters reported last night that, "Google Inc has been pressuring applications and mobile game developers to use its costlier in-house payment service, Google Wallet, as the Internet search giant tries to emulate the financial success of Apple Inc's iOS platform." Good luck with that. The Android Market, now rechristened Google Play, has served as a wild west free-or-all in comparison to airlock of the AppStore, and that has probably been a good thing. It is amazing, though, how hard it has been for Google to monetize hugeness beyond search adds.
As with anything mobile, the combination of the quality of user experience and convenience trumps all else. I agree with Forbes.com Great Speculations contributor Nigam Arora that "If past is the prologue, Apple will implement electronic wallet better than existing players and Apple stock will rocket to $1000. The power to propel Apple stock much higher is likely to come from a new development that is not discounted in the price of the stock. iWallet may be the app that does it." Killer app, indeed.
I think this is where it stops. It must. At some point consumer advocacy groups, bloggers and conscious people will realize that the convenience – privacy trade off border is crossed. People lose control over their own lives, as everything is tracked. Google and Apple could track your every mouse move and see how it related to each of your shopping transactions. This is a very dangerous development. Legislator needs to step in now!
ahhh, you can opt not to use Google wallet or Apples thing, and you can not use Google services. Move to ask jeeves or something.
Monkey see, monkey do.
"good artists copy, great artists steal" and "we have always been shameless about stealing great ideas".
Steve Jobs 1996
So Apple is copying Paypal and Google Wallet? And getting a patent for it?
Let me guess, apple will take 30% of every one of your transactions?
Thanks for sharing your article about the Google Wallet. Do you think Apple will create any competition? We are blogging about this topic now. http://www.lucidagency.com/google/expect-apple-to-release-its-own-version-of-google-wallet/
I wonder how the historical NFC and mobile payment patents are going to impact on this development.

ANA Governors approve first-quarter expenditures for next fiscal year
Board to reexamine anticipated revenue, expenditures before passing full budget
The American Numismatic Association Board of Governors announced that expenditures for the first three months of the 2013-14 budget year have been approved during the board's regular meeting on Tuesday, Oct. 22. The board opted to delay a full vote on the budget pending further examination of revenues and expenditures.
"Our projected revenues for 2013-14 are forecasted to come in lower than in prior years," explained President Walter Ostromecki Jr. "The board decided that, in order to be good stewards for the membership, we should take another look at our revenues and operating costs before we approve a final budget."
The board is tentatively slated to vote on the budget during its scheduled teleconference meeting on Dec.10. The ANA's fiscal year runs from Nov. 1 to Oct. 31.
"The Association's investments have been doing very well," said Treasurer Larry Baber. "We are on firm financial footing overall; the board simply wants to take some extra time to find ways to make up for reduced revenue."
The Oct. 22 meeting was held at the Edward C. Rochette Money Museum in Colorado Springs, Colo., which also serves as the ANA's National Headquarters. A replay of the live broadcast of the board meeting can be viewed at Money.org and on the ANA's YouTube channel.
The American Numismatic Association is a congressionally chartered nonprofit educational organization dedicated to encouraging people to study and collect money and related items. The ANA helps its 26,000 members and the public discover and explore the world of money through its vast array of education and outreach programs, as well as its museum, library, publications, conventions and seminars.

By Chief Judge Mary Ann Brown
The Iowa Judicial Branch dedicates itself to providing independent and accessible forums for the fair and prompt resolution of disputes, administering justice under law equally to all people. — Iowa Judicial Branch Mission Statement
The Iowa courts play a vital role in protecting children and adults, ensuring peaceful resolution of legal disputes and maintaining the quality of our lives as Iowans. The courts' work is full time with a full plate of cases — be they juvenile, criminal, civil, mental or any of the others implicated by the complex lives people lead. Communities rely on a ready access to justice, and those of us in the judiciary consider it a priority to make sure that people get it.
Over the past several years, the courts' mission has been impaired because of budget cuts due to revenue shortfalls. Today's healthier economy enabled the Iowa Legislature and governor this year to provide the judicial branch with better funding, which in turn empowers us to better serve the public and fulfill our constitutional role.
With the fiscal year 2014 appropriation to the judicial branch, the 8th Judicial District will see staffing restored to levels before the 2009 cuts. This summer, we can resume having the clerks of court in each county open for public business all day long, all week long. We will have people back to allow the phones to be answered and customers tended all day. We are also able to re-staff jury attendants and others helping us prevent court delay in cases. We will be much better equipped to put the "justice delayed is justice denied" days behind us. This is good news for the many who have business with the courts.
I am proud of our judicial branch employees and commend them for their resilience and commitment to excellence even as our resources to produce it withered. With our new means, we strive to be the good stewards people have a right to expect. We plan to deliver on our promise of accessible forums for fair and prompt resolution of disputes. It's a day of good news.
Chief Judge Brown lives in Burlington and has been a district-court judge for 12 years. In her capacity as chief judge, she supervises the operations of the 14-county 8th Judicial District. She may be reached at email@example.com.

Rachel Carson once warned the world that the pesticides we were using to kill weeds were devastating birds, threatening to bring on a 'Silent Spring'. People woke up and banned the potent herbicide DDT, saving the American Bald Eagle and countless song birds (and fish, farm animals, trees and more). They began to control pollution and clean up rivers and lakes, answering Carson's clarion call.

A countdown of my top 25 AFC East players continues, one weekday at a time ...
The choice
Starks has been one of the NFL's most underrated defensive players. He became a 2011 Pro Bowler as an alternate, but his name seldom comes to mind when talking about the top defensive linemen.
Starks is versatile and can play tackle and end with aplomb. Starks recorded 4.5 sacks last year, second-most of his career. The Dolphins' coaching staff film review credited him with 10 tackles for losses, tying him for second on the team behind Cameron Wake, and 10 quarterback hits.
ProFootballFocus.com rated Starks the NFL's sixth-best 3-4 defensive end. He ranked ninth with 16 quarterback hurries. Starks tied for second in PFF's pass-coverage metric, and -- this isn't the most glowing stat for the Dolphins' 2011 defense -- his two interceptions tied him for second on the team. He was in the top 10 in PFF's pass-rush and run-stopping metrics.
Fast fact
Starks is entering his ninth season, easily making him the most experienced player on this list so far.
How acquired
Signed as a free agent from the Tennessee Titans in 2008. (Paul, a reader in Beijing, suggested I add this feature to each of the profiles because "a lot of us are focused in on how [a team] acquires such great players." Good idea.)
Hint about No. 19
He is coming off a lackluster season, but his overall defensive talent and body of work keep him in my top 20.
Picks to date
20. Randy Starks, Dolphins defensive lineman
21. Sebastian Vollmer, Patriots right tackle
22. Aaron Hernandez, Patriots tight end
23. Marcell Dareus, Bills defensive tackle
24. Antonio Cromartie, Jets cornerback
25. Eric Wood, Bills center

October is designated National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. All month long, Patch has been providing readers with information on the disease.
There are so many statistics and there is so much information about breast cancer that it can become a bit overwhelming when searching online, so Patch spoke with Komen St. Louis in an effort to gather some answers for readers and compile them into one place.
According to its website, the St. Louis Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure's mission is "to save lives and end breast cancer forever by empowering people, ensuring quality care for all and energizing science to find the cures. Komen St. Louis is dedicated to meeting the breast health needs of the women, men and families most at risk and most in need in our 17-county Missouri/Illinois service area."
The following are questions Patch asked and the answers Komen St. Louis offered to our questions. (Some answers were shortened in the editing process.)
1. How concerned should the average woman be about breast cancer?
Breast cancer is the second most common cancer in women in the U.S. (second only to skin cancers), accounting for nearly 1 in 3 cancers diagnosed among women. A woman in the U.S. has a 1 in 8 lifetime breast cancer risk. The most proven and significant risk factors for getting breast cancer are being female and getting older.
It is important for women to be aware of their bodies, pay attention to any changes and talk with a health care provider about any concerns. Breast cancer can be treatable, especially when detected early. Susan G. Komen for the Cure® recommends these steps for breast self-awareness:
Know your risk
- Talk to your family to learn about your family health history
- Talk to your health care provider about your personal risk of breast cancer
Get screened
- Ask your doctor which screening tests are right for you if you are at a higher risk
- Have a mammogram every year starting at age 40 if you are at average risk
- Have a clinical breast exam at least every 3 years starting at age 20, and every year starting at age 40
Know what is normal for you
- See your health care provider if you notice any of these breast changes:
- Lump, hard knot or thickening inside the breast or underarm area
- Swelling, warmth, redness or darkening of the breast
- Change in the size or shape of the breast
- Dimpling or puckering of the skin
- Itchy, scaly sore or rash on the nipple
- Pulling in of your nipple or other parts of the breast
- Nipple discharge that starts suddenly
- New pain in one spot that doesn't go away
Make healthy lifestyle choices
- Maintain a healthy weight
- Add exercise into your routine
- Limit alcohol intake
- Limit postmenopausal hormone use
- Breastfeed, if you can
2. At what age should a woman with no family history of breast cancer begin getting mammograms?
For a woman with an average risk for breast cancer – as determined through consultation with her health care provider – Komen recommends a mammogram every year beginning at age 40. A woman should have a clinical breast exam every three years starting at age 20, and then annually starting at age 40.
3. What is the first thing a woman should do if diagnosed with breast cancer?
First, know that a breast cancer diagnosis is not necessarily a death sentence. And know you are not alone. There are more than 2.9 million breast cancer survivors alive today in the United States. Early detection and effective treatment have improved survivorship and decreased mortality rates.
If you or someone you know is diagnosed with breast cancer, you can find the latest information, get the answers you need and stay informed by visiting www.komen.org.
Plus, this website offers an interactive Breast Cancer 101 tool and an interactive treatment navigational tool for newly diagnosed patients.
4. How important are support groups for a breast cancer patient during and after treatment?
The support of family, friends and others can be helpful for those going through breast cancer diagnosis, treatment and beyond. Some people living with breast cancer benefit from involvement in support groups, which can help in the recovery process by offering information, emotional support and an additional support network.
Everyone has different needs, so it's important to find a healthy support system that works best for you. Talking to a patient navigator is a good way to find a support group that fits your needs. Komen St. Louis also can provide information about local support groups.
5. Are there certain foods that are believed to be "cancer fighting" foods that women should incorporate into their diets on a regular basis, whether they have breast cancer or not?
Making healthy lifestyle choices – including healthy eating choices – may help lower your risk of breast cancer as well as your risk of heart disease, diabetes, colon cancer and osteoporosis. To promote overall health and possibly reduce your breast cancer risk, Susan G. Komen for the Cure (supported by resources from American Cancer Society, Siteman Cancer Center at Barnes-Jewish Hospital and Washington University School of Medicine, and Institute of Medicine) recommends these steps related to diet:
- Choose 100 percent whole grain foods (like 100 percent whole grain breads and cereals, brown rice, popcorn and quinoa) more often.
- Limit red meat and processed meat (choose chicken, fish or beans instead).
- Cut down on "bad" fats (saturated and trans fats), and eat more "good" fats (polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats, like olive and canola oil).
- Get enough vitamin D and calcium every day. For women and men ages 51 to 70, this means 10 mcg600 IU of vitamin D and 1,200 mg of calcium. For men ages 51 to 70, this means 600 IU of vitamin D and 1,000 mg of calcium.
- Take a daily multivitamin with 400 mcg of folic acid (often called folate on nutrition labels).
- If you drink alcohol, limit to drinking less than one drink of alcohol a day (for women; and fewer than two drinks a day for men). Those who drink alcohol should try to get enough folic acid, either through a multivitamin or foods like oranges, orange juice, leafy green vegetables and fortified breakfast cereals.
6. What are some reliable resources women can access when looking for additional information on breast cancer?
Fortunately, a wealth of breast cancer information, resources and support is available. Visit Susan G. Komen for the Cure online at www.komen.org to learn more about early detection and screening, diagnosis, treatment, insurance and financial issues, getting good care, breast cancer therapies, breast cancer research, and support programs. Komen's breast care helpline (1-877 GO KOMEN or 1-877-465-6636) provides free, professional support services to anyone with questions or concerns about breast health or breast cancer.
For local information and resources, contact the St. Louis Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure online at www.komenstlouis.org or by phone at 314-569-3900.
