"I've long-held a belief that reversible clothing is a farce - the only time I'm flipping pants inside-out is for the washing machine - but Sweaty Betty has created a pair that put equal thought into both sides, and actually looks equally good. Regardless of how you wear 'em, the silver-y mesh cutouts are super flattering, and the angular panels to-o-o-o-otally give you Taylor Swift legs. (I kept looking in the mirror for the duration of a dance class, confounded by how insanely tall I looked.)
The one downside is that they're a bit thick for warm climates, but it makes them ideal for dashing to a fitness class in the winter, which is basically the only perk ever for dashing to a fitness class in the winter. And, while some similar leggings will have you baking in a pants oven throughout your class, you wont overheat while sweating either, since the paneling makes them totally breathable during intense workouts.
But, even with all that, my favorite part of these two-in-ones comes by way of a semi-gross but very real side note: if you've ever had a bare-legs-on-patio-furniture situation when it comes to mesh, dont worry. This one is ultra-thin and won't leave you with a hashtag imprint. No need to play checkers on your thighs or buy two pairs of fashionable bottoms! A total win-win."

"Its no secret that the market for athletic wear has exploded and that prices are anything but frugal, which is why Sweaty Bettys line of reversible leggings caught my eye. Priced at around $120 - $150 depending on the style, the pants are designed to be worn two totally different ways (usually either a vibrant print or a solid black side out). You might think that reversible means that they're thick - but they're not! They're super lightweight (a must if you're using them for your yoga practice or running in the heat - both of which I've done with them), but they're also not so thin that you have to worry about showing your bum if you're in downward dog (ahem).
The waistband is on the high side meaning youll never be yanking your pants up, and no matter what style/print you opt for, they'll be made from sweat-wicking fabric. The above style ($150) is my favorite from their current lineup, and you can wear it with the print or the black side up; in either case youll have visual interest via the mesh panels and contrasting cuffs. I only do hot yoga (shout out to my new favorite studio Y7...they do hot yoga set to hip hop!), and while I do see sweat stains after I work out in these (they're more obvious, naturally, when I wear the print side up versus the black), I never feel uncomfortable no matter how much I sweat.
Sweaty Betty also has a number of legging styles available in two leg lengths, as well as ones available in XXS should you be having trouble finding well-fitting pieces for a petite or tall frame.
So what are you waiting for Grab a pair and sign-up for some hip-hop-inspired yoga...you wont regret it!"/clothes/pants/leggings/toucanblue-urdhva-yoga-leggings/

Sweaty Betty has added Jennifer Sey to its Board of Directors.
Sey is the Global Chief Marketing Officer for the Levi's brand. She joins the Board as a non-executive member.
Simon Hill-Norton, Chief Executive Officer and cofounder of the company, said, "Jennifer has an outstanding track record in apparel marketing and brand leadership. She has a deep understanding of the fast-growing activewear sector and as we continue our plans to grow the Sweaty Betty brand internationally, Jennifer's insight and advice will be invaluable to the Board."
Sey, who said she is a fan of the brand, noted that even though the company has millions of loyal fans, there is still so much more potential on the international stage.
The British activewear brand last month named Erika Serow President and Chief Executive Officer for its U.S. business as the firm gears up for its expansion in the States. Serow began her new job on January 18th, before that she was the Retail Practice leader for the Americas region since 2013 for Bain & Co., with a focus on the apparel sector.
Tamara and Simon Hill-Norton founded the company over 15 years ago. Tamara is the firms Creative Director. The brand is known for products at higher premium price points and seeks to distinguish itself from competing brands such as Lululemon with high-quality, cutting-edge fabrics and fashion-forward designs that can be worn for multiple sports and not just yoga. Retail Group Whittington and Catterton are investors in the company. The investment from Catterton nearly a year ago for an undisclosed amount is helping to fuel the firm's expansion in the U.S.http://wwd.com/business-news/human-resources/jennifer-sey-sweaty-betty-board-10329578/
26th January 2016
The company, which already counted Whittington as an investor, in February received a "strategic growth investment†from Catterton for an undisclosed amount that helped fuel its expansion in the U.S. Serow will continue to be based in New York, overseeing a U.S. team of 15 employees. "There are several things I love about Sweaty Betty….This is very much a woman-led business in the athletic space. It's an incredible market. In an interview, Serow acknowledged that while the category is one where almost everyone feels a need to get into the space — Tory Burch is the one the latest entrants — and grab some market share, that didn't necessarily mean Sweaty Betty is late in getting into the game. "The market is a little tired and stale, but Sweaty Betty has great potential to shake things up. We have smart investors who have the capital to let [the company] grow….This is about turbo charging the growth,†Serow said.
According to Serow, "The interesting thing about the ath-leisure market is that it is still growing. Apparel overall is growing 2 to 3 percent, while ath-leisure is growing 5 to 7 percent a year.†Even though there may be new entrants hoping to gain some share of the consumers' wallet, Serow said it won't be as easy as many think. She explained that there are several reasons why Sweaty Betty will have an advantage over its competitors: "One is that it is a technical category. This is completely different from apparel in terms of fit, construction and design. Like the intimate apparel sector, there are big barriers to get into the market and [to do it well one] needs technical design. Number two, while the market leader is Lululemon, there are also a lot of "me too†products, and the sector needs something different from another me-too [brand]. Number three, the most interesting thing about the category — and this is where the ath-leisure piece is really important — something like 80 percent of [our customers] wear it outside of exercising. Women want to look good at SoulCycle, or when they are out running errands.â€
According to the new U.S. ceo-to-be, the lifestyle brand is designing for the "girl that lives in the city. We will attract customers who are younger and older. It's more about the lifestyle than the age range.â€
Sweaty Betty Names Erika Serow President and U.S. CEO
British activewear brand Sweaty Betty has named Erika Serow president and U.S. chief executive officer as the firm gears up for its expansion in the States.
Serow, who begins on Jan. 18, has been the retail practice leader for the Americas region for Bain & Co. since 2013, with a focus on the apparel sector. She joined Bain in 1995, and has worked at Bain's Boston, London, Sydney and Milan offices before becoming based in New York since 2001.
Sweaty Betty, which counts the better known yoga apparel brand Lululemon Athletica as a competitor, offers its products at higher "premium†price points, and seeks to distinguish itself from competing brands with high quality, cutting-edge fabrics and fashion-forward designs that can be worn for multiple sports and not just yoga. Sweaty Betty was cofounded by Tamara and Simon Hill-Norton more than 15 years ago. Tamara is creative director and Simon is chief executive officer. In addition to the company's Web site, it operates more than 40 boutiques in the U.K., including concessions at department stores Harrods and Selfridges. In the U.S., it has four boutiques — two in New York, and one each in Los Angeles and Greenwich, Conn. — and two concessions at Bloomingdale's, one each at the 59th Street flagship in Manhattan and at The Mall at Short Hills in Short Hills, N.J.

I remember when my first-born was still tiny but had grown too big for a portable infant-safety seat. Moving her to a rear-facing convertible seat meant no more waltzing into the coffee shop or the grocery story with my baby napping snugly in the infant carrier. (OK, anyone who's carried one of those knows there's no waltzing going on.) I was pinned down.

More than a few parents have been tempted to leave their babies in the car while running into a coffee shop, but the reality is grim: 126 children died in 2013 in non-traffic-related automotive incidents. That includes heat stroke as well as falls from open windows, power-window strangulations, vehicles being set in motion by a child left in a car, backovers and frontovers.
Summer (and in some places spring) is that time of year when kids are out of school and running around with us, as well as the time when temperatures begin to soar. A San Francisco State University study found that, on a warm day, a car's interior temperature can increase an average of 19 degrees in just 10 minutes once the engine is turned off; the high potential of something horrendous happening should be enough to keep any parent from leaving kids in the car, but it still happens, both by choice and by accident.
Don't be an example. Despite the inconvenience, never leave your kids alone in the car, not even for a quick errand like picking up the dry cleaning or running into the store for a prescription. Use a drive-through ATM, coffee joint, pharmacy or restaurant, even if it's out of the way or costs an extra couple of bucks. Your child's life is worth it.
Parents who have lost a child due to a non-traffic-related automotive incident shouldn't be judged as bad parents. The sad truth is that these tragedies could happen to any of us. The majority of these accidents happen with children younger than 1 year old who are in rear-facing child-safety seats. The parents are often sleep-deprived, and they jump out of the car and head to work, unaware of the quietly sleeping child in the back who goes unheard and unseen.
If you think you would never be neglectful enough to accidentally leave your child in a car, think again. This type of tragedy has sadly affected even the most caring, well-informed parents, including people from every socioeconomic background. None of us are immune.
Here are some tips from our friends at KidsandCars.org and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration on how to keep children safe in and around cars:

"My Amends came out of nowhere and knocked me off my feet with this one. What's great about this album is the mix of, dare I say, more "radio friendly" songs, and heavier tracks like "Dead and Gone", which it littered with a rough vocal delivery and thundering drums. To clarify what I mean by radio friendly: songs like, "Do Over", "Agora", or their single "Slaves", could see airtime on any hard rock radio station that still exists. These guys put a lot of distance between themselves and the potential "sell out" label. Their music is rough, but not sloppy. "Wait For It" is a perfect example of this. There's a moment when it all mellows out with soft guitars, then boom into heavily intricate and intertwined riffs, leaving vocals completely out of the equation. My Amends really is a breath of fresh air for the genre. They may be a fairly new band, but they write as though they've played together their whole lives. Acceptions is an album you want."
"With driving guitars and an emotionally charged delivery unseen since Bitterness the Star-era 36 Crazyfists, South Florida's My Amends are primed to make an immediate impact on the scene with their intense and gritty debut, Acceptions. .....The most notable, and perhaps scariest, thing about Acceptions, is that they only seem to be scratching the surface. If My Amends only gets better from here on in – all other rock bands need take heed. You've been put on notice. "
"Check out the video from our endorsed artists My Amends, there new song Slaves rocks! And check out our pick in the beginning!"
"My Amends will team up once again with long time friend and producer Adrian Morales-Demori to start working on their sophomore album 'Acceptions', set for release mid-spring 2011 and will be distributed by Ingenious Records. With a couple of summer tours under their belt, sharing the stage with national acts like: Every Time I Die and The Sleeping, and picking endorsements by Clayton USA, Lashbrook Guitars and Silverfox drum sticks, these under-the-radar rockers from South Florida are more than ready to turn heads in 2011."
"My Amends opened up for Every Time I Die Monday night at the Culture Room in Fort Lauderdale . I first checked these guys out at O'Malley's Pub in Margate playing the Halloween party show. I remember the energy of their show, and more importantly, how aggressive their fans were; how they sang along and knew the songs. I knew I had been missing out on something good and I wanted in."
"Why these guys aren't being blasted on rock stations around the state I'll never understand, they definitely have a great crossover sound. From the great guitar work and energetic drumming and singing, they've got mass appeal. The songs hook you, from memorable choruses to lyrics about battling addictions and taking responsibility for your actions, good stuff for sure. I love the bridges between verses because the music meshes together just perfectly to get into your head. Their stage show is great as the two guitarists and bassist definitely have good energy and play off each other during the songs to create a fun atmosphere"
"Artist on Demand band interview"
" Pure anxiety roars out of Broward County FL. My Amends is fierce Rock & Roll...A style with no labels or limits."
"..hard-driving, intensely-emotional sound and brutally honest lyrics."
"My Amends debut EP "That Of A Lion" is an "..Intense, Powerful, Strong with Hoarse emotions, intense riffs and radiant melodies.... Very Good Composition.... rate 8/10.." "
"Remembering Amends - Former members of Remembering Never, Aeons Apart, On Our Own and more have joined forces in a group dubbed My Amends."

Minecraft creator is considering adding Achievements to the game
Minecraft creator Markus Persson is considering adding Achievements to the game.
Speaking with Indie Games, Persson admitted he is a fan of Achievements.
"Yeah, I like achievements. I know a lot of people don't, but I like them," he said. "I've had the idea to make achievements kind of like the in-game questing. So you'd be able to see the first achievement in a tree of achievements, and you have to unlock the top ones first before you can unlock the ones further down.
"So the first one might be to chop down a tree, or kill a chicken, and then these branch into more things you can do. Hopefully it would encourage people to try new areas."
Persson said that when an Achievement tree is finished, it could "converge into a big task, like kill a dragon or something," which would add narrative to the skill tree.
Minecraft has currently sold over 1.4 million copies and is coming to both iOS and Android this year.

Bayer reported positive data from a Phase III study evaluating riociguat (Bay 63-2521) in patients with inoperable chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) or with persistent/recurrent pulmonary hypertension (PH) following surgery. Data from the Chest-1 study confirmed that therapy using the oral soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) stimulator led to statistically significant improvements in six-minute walk distance (6MWD). The Chest-1 results come just a couple of days after Bayer reported positive results from an ongoing Phase III trial (Patent-1) evaluating riociguat in the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension.
The placebo-controlled 16 week Chest-1 study involved 261 patients with inoperable CTEPH or with persistent/recurrent pulmonary hypertension after pulmonary endarterectomy. The results showed that therapy with riociguat led to significant improvements in the 6MWD primary endpoint, and a number of secondary endpoints, including pulmonary vascular resistance, N-terminal prohormone brain natriuretic peptide, and WHO functional class. Other secondary endpoints, including time to clinical worsening, Borg dyspnea score, European quality of life 5-dimension questionnaire, and the living with pulmonary hypertension questionnaire, weren't met in terms of statistically significant improvements.
Results to date from the Phase III riociguat program indicate the drug may represent a potential new option for treating CTEPH, states Hossein Ardeschir Ghofrani, M.D., lead Chest-1 trial investigator at University Hospital Giessen and Marburg (Germany). "These study results with investigational riociguat are encouraging because it is the first randomized Phase III trial in which a drug treatment has demonstrated significant improvement in 6MWD in patients with inoperable CTEPH or with persistent or recurrent pulmonary hypertension after surgery."

Police probe Benson stabbingStaff Report | July 09,2013BENSON — Vermont State Police say they are searching for a Castleton man who is believed to have stabbed a homeowner on Route 22A.
Police say William Tyler, the 36-year-old owner of the home, told police that Tia Maher, 40, stabbed him during an early morning altercation inside the home.
Police didn't describe the altercation, but they said that Tyler arrived at the Castleton Family Health Center at just before 8 a.m. Monday with a single stab wound to his lower abdomen.
Attempts to find Maher have proven unsuccessful and police say they believe he fled the area by boarding a local bus in Rutland with an unknown destination.
Police are seeking to obtain a warrant for his arrest on a felony charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
Maher is described as an Asian man with short brown hair and brown eyes. He stands about 5-feet, 10-inches tall and weighs about 170 pounds with a slender build and dark complexion. It's not known what he's wearing but police believe he has injuries to his face, including a swollen right eye.
Anyone with information about his whereabouts is asked to call state police at 773-9101.MORE IN This Just In

Offer Sardar & Cooley 2 seats in exchange for their agreement to standstill for 2 years. Other than regular board input.
That should be plenty. Instead they spend wildly to protect their directors fees despite owning very little.
Woodhouse, the one guy with any experience & ownership cant get away from both the company & the stock fast enough.
Sandra STOP spending MY money fighting the inevitable ! Work constructively.
And it INSULTING to call a burger joint with a drive through a competitor.
Like a quick mart is a walmart competitior I guess.
The reality is, the board want to come in 4 times a year, drink coffee & eat danishes & collect hundreds of thousands per year.
Biglari & Cooley are going to make them WORK for their money and they dont like that.
wrong...........SB has done nothing for BH which basically is SNS. Read the message from a Western Sizzler guy.....SB bought them and used their money and business for loans to buy SNS. Read my lips....NO WAY IS CBRL GOING TO LET SB OR BH BUY THE GOLDEN GOOSE UNDER $95-105/SHARE FOR THE REST"...CBRL should buy BH.
Just like the previous post, denn56k missed the point of the guy's (smacys4's) post. It is like a re-run of a sit-com.

1. Technical Field
This invention generally relates to object-oriented programming and more specifically relates to an improved system for managing version changes for classes in object-oriented environments.
2. Background Art
The development of the EDVAC computer system of 1948 is often cited as the beginning of the computer era. Since that time, computer systems have evolved into extremely sophisticated devices, and computer systems may be found in many different settings. Computer systems typically include a combination of hardware (e.g., semiconductors, circuit boards, etc.) and software (e.g., computer programs). As advances in semiconductor processing and computer architecture push the performance of the computer hardware higher, more sophisticated computer software has evolved to take advantage of the higher performance of the hardware, resulting in computer systems today that are much more powerful than just a few years ago.
Computer systems typically include operating system software that controls the basic function of the computer, and one or more software application programs that run under the control of the operating system to perform desired tasks. For example, a typical IBM Personal Computer may run the OS/2 operating system, and under the control of the OS/2 operating system, a user may execute an application program, such as a word processor. As the capabilities of computer systems have increased, the application software programs designed for high performance computer systems have become extremely powerful. Additionally, software development costs have continued to rise because more powerful and complex programs take more time, and hence more money, to produce.
One way in which the performance of application software programs has been improved while the associated development costs have been reduced is by using object-oriented programming concepts. The goal of using object-oriented programming is to create small, reusable sections of program code known as "objects" that can be quickly and easily combined and re-used to create new programs. This is similar to the idea of using the same set of building blocks again and again to create many different structures. The modular and re-usable aspects of objects will typically speed development of new programs, thereby reducing the costs associated with the development cycle. In addition, by creating and re-using a comprehensive set of well-tested objects, a more stable, uniform, and consistent approach to developing new computer programs can be achieved.
Another central concept in object-oriented programming is the "class." A class is a template or prototype that defines a type of object. A class outlines or describes the characteristics or makeup of objects that belong to that class. By defining a class, objects can be created that belong to the class without having to rewrite the entire definition for each new object as it is created. This feature of object-oriented programming promotes the reusability of existing object definitions and promotes more efficient use of code.
JAVA is the name of one very well-known and popular object-oriented computer programming language which is used to develop software applications. JAVA's popularity stems in part from its relative simplicity and the fact that JAVA is written in a manner that allows different computers (i.e., platforms) to execute the same JAVA code. In other words, JAVA is platform-independent. This feature has caused the use of JAVA to greatly increase with the growing popularity of the Internet, which allows many different type of computer platforms to communicate with each other.
Computer programs naturally evolve over time. The evolution of object-oriented computer programs entails defining new classes that have implementations different than previous versions. As time passes, the type and quantity of information stored by these objects may need to be changed or enhanced to accommodate additional or different data types. In this case, the definition of the class will, of necessity, be changed to support the new object data storage requirements. This scenario typically occurs when a program is upgraded from a first software version to a newer, more powerful version of the program. A new release of an existing program may use a combination of new classes and classes that were defined in a previous version. The processes and activities associated with modifying, updating, and tracking changes in a class over a period of time are known as "versioning."
It is important to note that, even though a program has been upgraded, it is frequently necessary to maintain both the existing objects that were created by the first version (belonging to one version of a class) and the new objects that are created by the newer version of the software application (belonging to a different version of the same class). In order to accomplish this, some mechanism should be provided to track the various names of the object classes as the versions of the software application are changed. Theoretically, it is possible to give each new class version the same name. However, in practice, JAVA requires that each new version of the class have a new name. This means that as time passes and multiple versions of the various classes are changed, it can become very difficult to keep track of the many different names for each class and the related objects that are created.
For example, a large company that has been in business for many years may have changed the nature of the object used to store employee-related data as the information needs of the business developed. Beginning in 1970, the employee object tracked the name, address, phone number, date of hire, supervisor, and salary for each employee. In 1980 the definition of the objects in the employee class was changed to include information regarding 401K plans for the employee and in 1990 the definition for the employee class was changed again to include information regarding each employee's performance and evaluation reviews.
There are several solutions that have been previously implemented to address the versioning problems associated with multiple names for different versions of the same class. Typically, when a new version of a software application is to be implemented, the software application is recompiled and the system must be shut down. When the new version of the software application is loaded, the system will recognize that a new version has been created, load all the existing objects, and rebuild the objects one by one so that they are compatible with the new version of the software application. This process may also include a re-naming of all existing objects. While this solution is acceptable for systems with a limited number of objects, once the number of objects in the system exceeds a certain minimal level, the operational overhead associated with rebuilding each object in the system every time the version changes can quickly become unacceptable.
Another possible solution is to create a sub-class for the new version of the objects as they are needed. This solution, while useful, has its own inherent limitations. Specifically, as each new version of the class is created, another level in the class hierarchy is established. After a period of time, tracking class versions through the nested hierarchy of classes and sub-classes becomes extremely inefficient and can measurably reduce system performance.
Without a mechanism for more easily and flexibly creating, managing, and tracking the various versions of object classes that must be utilized in a large-scale, frequently evolving object-oriented environment, the computer industry will continue to suffer from the effects of the inefficient versioning methods presently used to manage new class versions. In addition, the creation of objects according to the desired class version will continue to be more difficult and uncertain than necessary.
Ideally, there should be an unobtrusive or transparent way for a client object to request a new object and for the system to respond with the correct version of the class and/or to create a default version of the class if the exact version is relatively unimportant. It would be most desirable to provide a versioning solution which is completely transparent to the user and which can be implemented without any specialized knowledge on the part of the client objects. This abstracts the user from the details of the various versions of the classes and provides a desired object from the correct class with far greater regularity than is presently possible. Therefore, this invention provides an improved method and mechanism for tracking and managing the changing definitions and implementations of multiple class versions in an object-oriented environment.
According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a class versioning and mapping system allows a user to specify a desired class without knowing which version of the class is the most recent or correct version of the class. The class versioning and mapping system uses a version mapping mechanism to cross reference the requested class, select the most recent or best version of the requested class, and return an object to the user or requesting object that belongs to the appropriate class. This feature allows the system to have multiple versions of the same class on-line at the same time and to create and use objects from different versions of the same class. Therefore, by using a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a client object or user can specify or request that an object be created without necessarily having any knowledge of the actual class version or version(s) that are available.

The present invention relates to object-oriented programming techniques. For those individuals who are not generally familiar with object-oriented programming, or the JAVA programming language in particular, the Overview section below presents many of the basic concepts and terminology that will help to understand the invention. Individuals skilled in the art of object-oriented programming may wish to skip this section and proceed directly to the Detailed Description section of this specification.
1. Overview
Object-oriented programming is a method of program implementation in which programs are organized as cooperative collections of objects, each of which represents an instance of some class, and whose classes are all members of a hierarchy of classes united via inheritance relationships. Object-oriented programming differs from standard procedural programming in that it uses objects, not algorithms, as the fundamental building blocks for creating computer programs. This difference stems from the fact that the design focus of object-oriented programming technology is wholly different than that of procedural programming technology.
The focus of procedural-based design is on the overall process used to solve the problem; whereas the focus of object-oriented design is on casting the problem as a set of autonomous entities that can work together to provide a solution. The autonomous entities of object-oriented technology are, of course, objects. Object-oriented technology is significantly different from procedural technology because problems are broken down into sets of cooperating objects instead of into hierarchies of nested computer programs or procedures.
Thus, a pure object-oriented program is made up of code entities called objects. Each object is an identifiable, encapsulated piece of code and data that provides one or more services when requested by a client. Conceptually, an object has two parts, an external object interface and internal object implementation. In particular, all object implementation functions are encapsulated by the object interface such that other objects must communicate with that object through its object interface. The only way to retrieve, process or otherwise operate on the object is through the methods defined on the object. This protects the internal data portion of the object from outside tampering. Additionally, because outside objects have no access to the internal implementation, that internal implementation can change without affecting other aspects of the program.
In this way, the object system isolates the requester of services (client objects) from the providers of services (server objects) by a well defined encapsulating interface. In the classic object model, a client object sends request messages to server objects to perform any necessary or desired function. The message identifies a specific method to be performed by the server object, and also supplies any required parameters. The server object receives and interprets the message, and can then decide what service to perform.
There are many computer languages available today that support object-oriented programming. For example, Smalltalk, Object Pascal, C++ and JAVA are all examples of languages that support object-oriented programming to one degree or another.
JAVA is a modern object-oriented programming language designed by Sun Microsystems that has grown in popularity in recent years. JAVA offers many features and advantages that makes it a desirable programming language to use. First, JAVA is specifically designed to create small application programs, commonly called "applets," that can reside on the network in centralized servers, and which are delivered to the client machine only when needed. Second, JAVA is completely platform independent. A JAVA program can be written once and can then run on any type of platform that contains a JAVA Virtual Machine (JVM). The JVM model is supported by most computer vendors, thereby allowing a software vendor to have access to hardware and software systems produced by many different companies. Finally, JAVA is an object-oriented language, meaning that software written in JAVA can take advantage of the benefits of object-oriented programming techniques. As in other object-oriented systems, operations in JAVA are performed by one object calling a method on another object. These objects can reside locally on the same machine or on separate JVM's physically located on separate computers or systems.
2. Detailed Description
To implement a system according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the JVM uses a special class loader object (VersionLoader), which is an object belonging to the java.lang.ClassLoader subclass, to load class files. The primary method of the VersionLoader class is loadClass(). The JVM passes the name of the desired class as a parameter to the VersionLoader object via the loadClass() method and the VersionLoader object will return the newly loaded class. With this class loaded, the desired object can be created. The VersionLoader object can be programmed to map old class names to new class names or to substitute one class name for another class name.
Referring now to FIG. 1, a computer system 100 in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention is an enhanced IBM AS/400 mid-range computer system. However, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the methods and apparatus of the present invention apply equally to any computer system, regardless of whether the computer system is a complicated multi-user computing apparatus or a single user device such as a personal computer or workstation. Computer system 100 suitably comprises a processor 110, main memory 120, a memory controller 130, an auxiliary storage interface 140, and a terminal interface 150, all of which are interconnected via a system bus 160. Note that various modifications, additions, or deletions may be made to computer system 100 illustrated in FIG. 1 within the scope of the present invention such as the addition of cache memory or other peripheral devices. FIG. 1 is presented to simply illustrate some of the salient features of computer system 100.
Processor 110 performs computation and control functions of computer system 100, and comprises a suitable central processing unit (CPU). Processor 110 may comprise a single integrated circuit, such as a microprocessor, or may comprise any suitable number of integrated circuit devices and/or circuit boards working in cooperation to accomplish the functions of a processor. Processor 110 suitably executes an object-oriented computer program 122 within main memory 120.
Auxiliary storage interface 140 allows computer system 100 to store and retrieve information from auxiliary storage devices, such as magnetic disk (e.g., hard disks or floppy diskettes) or optical storage devices (e.g., CD-ROM). One suitable storage device is a direct access storage device (DASD) 170. As shown in FIG. 1, DASD 170 may be a floppy disk drive which may read programs and data from a floppy disk 180. It is important to note that while the present invention has been (and will continue to be) described in the context of a fully functional computer system, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the mechanisms of the present invention are capable of being distributed as a program product in a variety of forms, and that the present invention applies equally regardless of the particular type of signal bearing media to actually carry out the distribution. Examples of signal bearing media include: recordable type media such as floppy disks (e.g., disk 180) and CD ROMS, and transmission type media such as digital and analog communication links, including wireless communication links.
Memory controller 130, through use of a processor (not shown) separate from processor 110, is responsible for moving requested information from main memory 120 and/or through auxiliary storage interface 140 to processor 110. While for the purposes of explanation, memory controller 130 is shown as a separate entity, those skilled in the art understand that, in practice, portions of the function provided by memory controller 130 may actually reside in the circuitry associated with processor 110, main memory 120, and/or auxiliary storage interface 140.
Terminal interface 150 allows system administrators and computer programmers to communicate with computer system 100, normally through programmable workstations. Although the system 100 depicted in FIG. 1 contains only a single main processor 110 and a single system bus 160, it should be understood that the present invention applies equally to computer systems having multiple processors and multiple system buses. Similarly, although the system bus 160 of the preferred embodiment is a typical hardwired, multidrop bus, any connection means that supports bi-directional communication in a computer-related environment could be used.
Main memory 120 suitably contains one or more computer programs 122, an operating system 125, a VersionLoader object 126, and a version mapping mechanism 127. Computer program 122 in memory 120 is used in its broadest sense, and includes any and all forms of computer programs, including source code, intermediate code, machine code, and any other representation of a computer program. VersionLoader object 126 and version mapping mechanism 127 are created and/or manipulated by some portion of computer program 122. The term "memory" as used herein refers to any storage location in the virtual memory space of system 100.
It should be understood that main memory 120 will not necessarily contain all parts of all mechanisms shown. For example, portions of computer program 122 and operating system 125 may be loaded into an instruction cache (not shown) for processor 110 to execute, while other files may well be stored on magnetic or optical disk storage devices (not shown). In addition, although computer program 122 is shown to reside in the same memory location as operating system 125, VersionLoader object 126, and version mapping mechanism 127, it is to be understood that main memory 120 may consist of multiple disparate memory locations.
Referring now to FIG. 2, a sample source code listing 200 for a version mapping mechanism as used in a method in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown. In this example, it is assumed that ibm.as400.Employee$2-- 0 is the most recent or current standard version of the Employee class. Other older or beta versions of the Employee class may exist on the system but may not be available for use by the users of the system. By using this sample version mapping code, any request for an object belonging to the ibm.as400.Employee class will be mapped to ibm.as400.Employee$2-- 0 and will yield an object belonging to that class.
Sample code 200, as shown in FIG. 2, highlights the various types of entries (lines 210, 220, 230, 240, and 250) that would be used to handle most typical requests in a system using a class version mapping method according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The source code shown on line 220 maps a request for a specific version of an object to another specific version of an object. This type of request, while possible, is not very likely. If a user or client object requests a certain specific version of the class, in most circumstances the class loader should provide the requested class. Lines 210, 230, and 240 are provided for situations where the user does not request a specific version of the desired class. In this case, the user is typically requesting the default version of the class and the class loader will supply the most current production version of the class. This is a more likely type of request for most systems to process on a regular basis. Finally, line 250 provides a mapping function which returns an object which belongs to a class with a completely different name than the name of the requested class. This is especially important for any client request that may involve sub-classes. For example, a client object may request a new object from the Employee class and the created object may actually belong to a sub-class (i.e., IBMEmployee) of the Employee class. Although one version mapping mechanism in this example, many alternative embodiments are available for implementing a version mapping mechanism.
For example, the VersionLoader object could be implemented to change the class version "on the fly" by altering the class file (the class file is the compiled version or object code version of the java source code). In this scenario, when the VersionLoader object reads in the requested class file, the VersionLoader object modifies the class name constants within the bytes of the class file name of the class version and passes the modified class file on to the JVM. Different VersionLoader objects could be provided with a system wherein each different VersionLoader object implements a different class versioning policy. When a system is first installed, a specific VersionLoader object could be selected from all of the various possibilities, with the selected VersionLoader implementing and supporting the desired versioning policy.
Alternatively, versioning support for different class versions could be implemented by adopting a series of different user interfaces as a version mapping mechanism. In this implementation, each user interface would have a specific VersionLoader associated with it and when the user "binds" to an interface, the user will inherently be selecting the corresponding VersionLoader. Each VersionLoader maps requested class versions to the desired class versions according to the predetermined versioning policy in place for the system. For example, if a user is using Interface 1, then VersionLoader object 1 will be used to select and load class versions for the user. Depending on the policy decisions embodied in the version mapping mechanism used by VersionLoader object 1, various class versions can be mapped as previously explained above. Alternatively, if a user is using Interface 2, then VersionLoader object 2 will be used to interface with version mapping mechanism 2 and the classes will be mapped, selected, and loaded accordingly. It is important to note that version mapping mechanism 1 and version mapping mechanism 2 may or may not map the same requested classes in the same way. Additionally, the version mapping mechanisms can be updated as necessary without changing the user interface.
Other possible solutions to the version naming problem identified above might actually utilize the name of the class as a mechanism to track and identify the various class versions. For example, using one name-related approach, the class name for each new version of the class would incorporate the class version number and/or the release number as an integral part of the class name, i.e., ibm.as400.Employee$1-- 0, ibm.as400.Employee$1-- 1, ibm.as400.Employee$2-- 0, etc.
Alternatively, another name-related approach to versioning would be to include the class version name or class descriptor as an integral part of the existing JAVA package name, i.e., ibm.as400.Ver1-- 0.Employee, ibm.as400.Ver1-- 1.Employee, or ibm.as400.Ver2-- 0.Employee.
Finally, another possible name-related solution might implement an enhancement to the JAVA language itself, by adding an optional extension to the existing object name to identify the class version, i.e., ibm.as400.Employee:1-- 0. The problems with the first two of these name-related methods described above is that the user must be aware of the fact that different versions of the various employee classes exist and that they must know which version is appropriate for the task to be performed. In order to implement the final name-related method, specific changes to the existing JAVA language environment and model must be adopted as new standards.
Referring now to FIG. 3, a JVM which supports multiple concurrent versions of a class according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown. In this embodiment, class versioning can be supported by using a series of VersionLoader objects. This allows a JVM to simultaneously support multiple versions of a class by correlating each of the various VersionLoader objects with a different version of the class. When a user enters the system, they select a given VersionLoader object and, if desired, a different version mapping mechanism will be accessed by the user and will, in turn, provide a desired outcome for the various requests for different class versions.
Referring now to FIG. 4, a method 400 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention is illustrated. As shown in method 400, whenever a request for a new object is received, a class must be loaded to support that request. As shown in FIG. 4, the request for a class will be sent to the VersionLoader object (step 430). In response to the request, the VersionLoader object will use a version mapping mechanism to select a class that should be loaded (step 440). It is important to note that the selected class may or may not be the same as the requested class. All of the possibilities described above may be implemented in the versioning policy supported by the version mapping mechanism. The selected class may be a subclass of the requested class or, alternatively, may be totally unrelated to the requested class by class inheritance. The VersionLoader object will then check to see if the selected class is already loaded. If the selected class is already loaded (step 450=YES), the VersionLoader object will return the selected class for use by the JVM. If however, the selected class is not loaded (step 450=NO), the selected class is loaded (step 460) and returned from the VersionLoader object (step 470) for use by the JVM. In either case, the JVM can then create an object belonging to the loaded class (step 480).
Referring now to FIGS. 1, 2, 3, and 4, computer program 122 uses VersionLoader object 126 to load class data from a memory location somewhere in the virtual memory space of the system 100. VersionLoader object 126 is a special implementation or a sub-class of the classLoader class that loads necessary data regarding the various requested classes so that new objects can be created. Whenever a new object is requested, VersionLoader object 126 will use version mapping mechanism 127 to select the appropriate class to load to support creation of the requested object. By using a VersionLoader object 126 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the desired relationship between requested classes and selected classes can be configured and reconfigured quickly and easily, as necessary.

Keep the Opportunities, Lose the Opportunists
Loss of Lives in Clinical Trials...
Researchers Now Have a Myriad of...
From our August issue: Clinical-Style Validation,...
Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) has agreed to use Sutro Biopharma's cell-free protein synthesis technology to produce four different bispecific antibodies discovered by MSKCC for the treatment of neuroblastoma in children.
These antibodies will be directed against CD3 on T-cells and, as the second target, against the ganglioside GD2, which is expressed on the surface of human neuroblastoma cells, as well as in melanoma and osteosarcoma. Nai-Kong V. Cheung, M.D., Ph.D., head of Memorial Sloan-Kettering's Neuroblastoma program, will use preclinical models to test the bispecific antibodies manufactured by Sutro.
"We and others have previously shown that the use of an anti-CD3 and anti-GD2 bispecific antibody has a strong scientific rationale, and anti-GD2 monoclonal antibodies targeting the ganglioside GD2 have demonstrated efficacy in clinical trials in pediatric neuroblastoma," Dr. Cheung stated. "We hope that the use of Sutro's technology will facilitate a more rapid, high-throughput optimization of these bispecific antibodies in the future, and allow us to investigate novel variants of these molecules quickly before bringing the winner to the clinic."
This isn't the first time Sutro has collaborated on antibody production. In December 2012, the company inked a deal with Celgene to use its cell-free protein synthesis technology platform to design and develop new antibody drug conjugates and bispecific antibodies for two undisclosed targets. The deal could return Sutro as much as $500 million.

MDMA (commonly known as the empathogen "ecstasy") is classified as a Schedule 1 drug, which is reserved for compounds with no accepted medical use and a high abuse potential. Two researchers from Stanford, however, call for a rigorous scientific exploration of MDMA's effects to identify precisely how the drug works, the data from which could be used to develop therapeutic compounds.Do you agree that ecstasy should be studied for its potential therapeutic benefits?

This just in:
When politicians run out of things to say (amazingly, this seems to happen) they start trashing the opposition. The smears have been expanding out of the whisper regime (...psst..his middle name is.. Hussein) to the overt crap.
It's just starting.
Was that the best picture they could find to end with of Huckabee and Bill Clinton?
That's beautiful.
In some deep circle of Hell, Lee Atwater must be pausing from his enterity of torment and suffering to muster at least a small smile.
fibromyalgia, a disease for hypochondriac middle aged bitches who really just want painkillers to make their day more interesting. the two people i've met who claimed to have it, also claimed to have many more diseases, some real, some not.
the worst part about something like fibromyalgia is that the people who claim to suffer from it will shop doctors until one of them confirms the self diagnosis. it's pathetic!
It's notable that clemency, along with leniency and compassion, are among those Christian values that are forever being paid lip service by the right wing. Heaven forbid anyone should actually start ACTING on those values.
Congratulations, Obamatons, your efforts to "game" (pun intended) the system worked! Now your culinary workers can strong arm the caucus goers.
As someone who attended caucuses in churches and/or government facilities in 1988, 1990, 1992, 1996, 1998, 2000, and 2002, I am appalled at the idea of caucuses in casinos. Not because there is anything wrong with casinos as entertainment, but precisely because the culinary workers are right there and will have disproportionate turnout compared to everyone else.
I look forward to the next Seattle OPA meeting being held at the Police Guild headquarters.
Change, change, change, hope, hope, hope!
Smearing your opposition is much easier than coming up with solutions to problems. I love that Hillary is basiclly asking Obama "Where's the Beef" but you know, I have yet to hear any policy ideas from Hillary either.... Just saying..
Conventional doctors are full of shit. They essentially know nothing about most things, but they'll pretend to be founts of wisdom. Several years ago they would have argued, incorrectly, that there's no link between inflammation and chronic diseases, such as heart disease, cancer, and diabetes. Their asses were soundly kicked on that one; how long until they're proved wrong on fibromyalgia as well?
From the Op/Ed page of the NYT today --
"Statistics gathered by New York City health officials show that new diagnoses of H.I.V. infection the virus that causes AIDS in gay men under age 30 rose 32 percent between 2001 and 2006. Among black and Hispanic men, the figure was 34 percent. Most troubling, the number of new diagnoses among the youngest men in the study, those between ages 13 and 19, doubled."
I was in love with obama...then last night I learned the nasty truth....he wants to scrap the constitution...specificly the 2nd admenment...this in conjuction with offering no real concrete assurences to restore civil libertys we already lost has me scrambeling for the bunker with a rifle in one hand and k rations in the other....democrates and republican...it's only a question of which part of the constitution you want to burn
where's billy richerdson when we really need him
why cant I not be spyed on, say what I want to my friendS without fear AND have the tools to resist if the pigs try to take my rights away
some of you would point to ron paul
but I like the idea of universal healthcare, labor rights and tighter controls on big busness
the choices always seem so bleak to people like us ("ex"-mike gravel supporters, so all 1 percent of us...) that usually come election day we'd rather either stay home and drink or get an absentee ballot and get really shit faced before we check any box
I had to do that the last time voteing for kerry...AND THERE WASINT EVEN A CHOICE IN THAT MATTER!!
@ 10, I heard Obama wants to force you to learn to spell correctly.
That video is GREAT!!! OMG!!! I nearly shit myself laughing!!! I wish Washington was a swing state. TV would be worth watching just for the nasty political ads!!
11# exactly...forced spell check in all web posts...oh my god he's the next stalin!
as for the video. It's a great way to appeal to the south carolina republican base....look at all those dark negro faces that arent safely behind bars thanks to hukabee....if huckabees elected a mexican speed freak will take your job and a negro crack dealer will fuck your wife and daughter....
republicans are so cute...like little timmy looking for black boogymen under the bed
Fibromyalgia is a real disease; and normal painkillers don't work on it, including narcotics--so it's not people looking for drugs. It's caused by an abnormal response of pain neurons, which is why Lyrica, which inhibits neuronal sensitivity, works. Lyrica doesn't cause a high.
Fibromyalgia is related to migraines, which are also related to overactivity of neurons. My husband has migraines and is also abnormally sensitive to pain; for instance, a tickle-touch is painful for him, rather than pleasant.
Note that when a doctor cannot discover what it wrong with someone, it's perfectly reasonable to find a new doctor who does have a clue. My husband had a problem with gallbladder inflammation that took going to about five doctors before it was properly diagnosed. Because he didn't have gallstones, no-one wanted to look at the gallbladder despite the fact that all the other symptoms matched a gallbladder problem. At one point he was, in fact, prescribed Lyrica for the pain; and it worked, which is how we know it doesn't give a high, just pain relief. If he hadn't doctor-shopped, looking for a reason for the constant pain, he'd still have an inflammed gallbladder giving him agony on a daily basis. It even looked normal to the surgeon who finally agreed to yank it; but the pathology came back with the finding of inflammation. Plus, the pain went away when the gallbladder did.
@6 - Sven, I see your point, but the locations have been known about for several months and were even approved by the people now suing.
The problem I have is with this:
"We believe that everyone has the ability to choose on their own, but normally we all try to stick together," said Jennifer Grote, 44, who works in food service at the Paris hotel-casino and will serve as a caucus captain on Election Day.While I do support Obama, I have a real problem with people being "encouraged" to vote for him because of their union membership. Does anyone else see a problem with this?
"You cannot divide union workers," added Leain Vashon, a bell captain at the Paris.
Any members who want to oppose their leadership and support another candidate will have to do so in front of their co-workers, wearing their casino-issued work clothes identifying themselves as members of the union.
Mike of Renton@16:
Though I used to be a big caucus supporter, this "peer pressure" aspect of causes has always been an issue for me. MN has both a caucus and later a primary, and for MN races the pressure at the caucuses to support only "abiders"- people who promised not to run in the primary if they lost the caucus endorsement- was intense.
The main reason I'm not so hot on caucuses any more, though, is that the rise of the internet allows non-corporate dialog on candidates in a way that wasn't possible before, depriving caucuses of their raison d'etre. The SLOG can be thought of as one big town hall / caucus.
Balancing that against the "barrier to entry" for single parents and poor people, primaries now seem better to me.
@12 - Washington is a swing state.
But not this year. This is the Year of the Blue Tidal Wave, that make 2006 look like a tiny puddle.
The swing states this year are all Red states.
there is doctor shopping for something like gall bladder pain which has a definite biological cause and resolution, and there is doctor shopping for fibromyalgia which has no biological tests, etc etc.
i stand by my position that it is mostly hypochondriacs and histrionic personality disorder that have fibromyalgia.
even aspergers has more of a legit claim as a real disease, and that is one of the most self diagnosed "i'm special and this accounts for my inability to be social" disease ever.
Oh really? I didn't realize that you're a scientist or medical doctor. Let's see, you know two hysterical women who claim to have fibromyalgia just so they can get meds or special attention. OK then, genius, why is it that only women complain of this disease? Is there not a single man who likes taking prescription painkillers?
Well, you see that the difficulty with that take is that we got told that there was no organic reason for the pain, that all the tests showed normal function for the gallbladder so it must be an irritated or overactive nerve. They sent us to a doctor who first used steroids on the nerves, then radiofrequencies to numb them (essentially you cook them with the heat generated). Naturally, these treatments didn't work; so we got sent to a chronic pain specialist, where boatloads of narcotics didn't work either. *It was unattributed pain for which no tests showed a cause, just like fibromyalgia.* It was only the fact that a test (HIDA) caused more intense pain during the contractions of the gallbladder and the fact that they're not particularly useful that persuaded the surgeon to take the chance on removal of the damned thing. And it took months of pain after the HIDA test to do the persuading, because the test is supposed to show blocked flow through the bile ducts due to small stones; and that part was normal, because there were no stones, just inflammation.
Can you see why I feel that just because the doctors can't find a reason, that doesn't mean there isn't one?

Life gets in the way of knitting
Don't you hate it when life gets in the way of your knitting? I have been trying let me empahsize TRYING to finish my sister skirt for Christmas but I have been working SOOOO much that I have barely any time to work on it. And then I miscalculated the yarn requirements because I forgot that I went a size up and ran out of yarn :wall: :gah:
Thank goodness I was able to find another skien in the MATCHING dyelot on ravelry but I am never going to finish my Christmas list at this rate. :waah: I'm normally a fast knitter but I need more than 15 minutes a night to knit.
And to top it off I missed 3 weekends a row with my knitting group because of work. :cry: Those women seriously keep me sane. I love those group of women. I never have had much luck making women friends and now I finally have. So I guess the positive is it makes me appreciate them more when I miss them.
My family really loves my knitted gifts and requested things in JULY!! They really just asked ONLY KNITTED GIFTS FOR Christmas. Are they the best or what? Now I want to deliver but I guess it will have to be after.
Thanks for letting me rant.
I seriously know what you mean! I really couldn't knit for months because of obligations of all sorts. Now I'm back to knitting for Christmas, but only small things or I'll never get them done. I still think I'll have to get most of them out after Christmas :shrug:
I hear ya, sister!....it's also good to have a knitting forum online, where we can rant and be understood for our knitting passions.
I got up at 5AM today just to spend an hour fixing up 4 rows of a scarf I was too tired to look at last night.
Can you find those in-between minutes here and there, waiting in lines?
Leave the complex projects, like that skirt, for quiet times, and take easy things along with you?.....scarves etc...
I totally get that...
Although I have to say, my past employer was very awesome and let me knit at my window (I was a box office clerk for Live theatre)...My request to her was, it is no different than having a magazine out....and in the end, she benefited from it too....
I used to have home, DH's house and work, and sometimes the streetcar, but now I only have my new home....so even though I do not yet have a job....I still find myself with less time to knit...go figure!
:grphug: :muah: :heart: :hug:
You have my sympathies!!!!!
But, do you need to re-evaluate your priorities? Are you taking on too much in other areas of your life, leaving no time for yourself/relaxation/knitting?
Maybe there is something else you need to say "no" to right now, so that you can buy yourself some time?
Aging Forums
I have finally learned after year off saying "yes" to everyone & everything that left me no time for myself to say "no". I was a stay at home mom up until January when I went back to work cause my kids are now in high school & don't need me as much anymore. I did lose my crafting time during the day but now have one night a week set aside to join some girlfriends at a local coffee shop to knit. Yea for me!:woohoo:I look forward to those nights & my family knows what night it is & they are on their own for dinner or have to rely on dad for what every they need. And no I don't feel one bit guilty about it! Girl talk & knitting, just what ever girl needs each week.:woot:
thanks for all your kind words. I take my knitting with me everywhere I go. So if I have 5 min to spare I will pull it out. I try to knit during lunch but lately I had to eat lunch at my desk. :( It really slows you down when you are working on the weekend as well. I did manage to get some booties off when I got one day off while waiting for the replacement yarn to come in.
I really hope work slows down soon. It has been non stop since the end of September and I am getting worn out!!
I know how you feel. I can only knit when my rig is parked. Well, ok, I probably COULD knit while driving my rig but somehow I just don't think it would be a good idea :rofl:
The other day I got a little sore at the truckstop waitress for bringing my food too quickly. I hadn't even finished one row yet!
:roflhard: :roflhard:
Oh I soo needed that!! Thanks!!
I can relate, too.
I live in the suburbs of Washington DC and commute into the city (about 50 mins each way) every day to work. This commute is a LOT shorter than my two hour commute last year, but now that I live closer to the city, it seems like I am always busy! I do knit on the metro on my way to work, but I don't usually get a seat on the way home, so I can only knit one way. I also knit at work while I eat lunch. (This leads to LOTS of questions and compliments from my co-workers, I might add.)
Home is the worst, though. It always seems like there's something that needs to be done: bills to pay, cleaning, spending time with my cat, or things I want to go out and do with my friends. Lately, I have been blowing off all of the above to knit because I am working on an exchange project with a deadline. But, hoo boy, sometimes I just have to do the other stuff and deal with the fact that I can't knit. It sucks!!

This is a popular Cajun style chain restaurant found here. They occupy a corner of Sundance Square in what appears to be an Art Deco building. The atmosphere and setting are nice as is the food. Prices are not really bad for the location.
Favorite Dish: Anything with crawfish in it for me.
