Adreian Payne scored 20 points after spending the first half on the bench following a morning scuffle with teammate Brandon Dawson, and No. 18 Michigan State held on for a 81-72 victory against Penn State on Wednesday night.
Payne, a sturdy 6-foot-10 forward, made up for lost time by dominating the post in the second half. He had 13 points on 5-of-6 shooting in a stretch of six-plus minutes after entering the game with about 16:30 left.
Payne added a 3-pointer – only his second made 3 of the year – in the middle of a 20-8 run to help the Spartans (15-3, 4-1 Big Ten) pull ahead midway through the second half.
Penn State (8-9, 0-5) stayed closed much of the night in large part because of Jermaine Marshall, who scored 22 of his career-high 29 points after halftime.
His layup with 15:16 left gave the Nittany Lions a 36-35 lead, riling up a Jordan Center crowd eager to see an upset.
But Payne answered with a layup, and the Spartans never looked back from there. Penn State fell behind by 16 in the second half before pulling to 73-68-with 1:27 left on a basket from Marshall.
Michigan State went 8 of 10 from the foul line the rest of the way to hold on. Center Derrick Nix finished with 12 points on 5-of-5 shooting from the field, while Dawson had five points and five rebounds.
The day got off to a rough start after an argument between roommates Dawson and Payne escalated into an exchange of punches in a second-floor lobby of a Penn State campus hotel before the Spartans boarded a bus for the Jordan Center.
Police were called after a wall was dented at the hotel. The players were expected to pay for the damage.
"I've spent my entire afternoon meeting with the players involved and they are both sincerely remorseful," Tom Izzo said in a statement before the game.
Both Dawson, who had started Michigan State's previous 17 games, and top reserve Payne spent the first half watching from the bench before entering early in the second period.
Two Penn State students dressed in green behind a bucket poked fun at the sparring Spartans, swaying and singing "Why can't we be friends?" during a foul shot.
Payne had the last laugh.
Until he entered the game, the Spartans looked disjointed at times on offense and rushed shots in the first half. Penn State limited Michigan State's second-chance points.
The Nittany Lions got several good looks in the post, but were haunted by season-worst shooting woes. Athletic guard D.J. Newbill (career-high 27 points) found success driving the lane in the first half with Payne and Dawson – Michigan State's top two shot-blockers – stuck on the bench.
But the final 16 minutes of the game belonged to Payne, who is on a weeklong roll. Payne was averaging 12 points and shooting 84 percent (11 of 13) over his previous two games entering Wednesday.
Michigan State's Gary Harris added 14 points, including 6 of 7 from the foul line.

AKRON -- It was a busy weekend for Akron Police with a slew of crimes...
The first incident took place at 5:30 a.m. Saturday when police responded to a large fight on Cole Avenue at Hammel Street.
Upon their arrival, five women told police they were struck by a car that was driven by 18-year-old Roamonaye Carr. One of those struck was Carr's sister.
Three of the victims were taken to local hospitals, while two others were treated on scene.
Officers later located Carr near the intersection of 6th Avenue and Talbot Avenue. Carr's vehicle, a 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix, was towed.
Carr was charged with five counts of felonious assault and driving without a license. She was booked into the Summit County Jail.
Around 7:30 p.m. Saturday night, a couple returning home in the 800 block of Berwin Street noticed a man standing on their front porch. Police say the male approached the vehicle, opened the driver's door and struck him in the head with a gun.
The suspect allegedly snatched $25 cash and the female passenger's jewelry.
He fled on foot through neighboring back yards.
The male victim was taken to St. Thomas Hospital for a laceration over his eye.
The stolen jewelry was recovered in the back yard.
The suspect remains at large.
Around 10 p.m. Sunday, a delivery driver for Papa John's Pizza was reportedly assaulted and robbed while delivering food in the 600 block of East Archwood Avenue.
The victim reported that he drove up to the house and noticed two males standing in the driveway. The driver got out of his car and asked the males if they ordered pizza. One male said yes and wanted to know if they accepted credit cards. As the driver was trying to call back to his business, the other suspect punched the driver in the face. The driver fell to the ground, when the suspects took the food and fled.
Police are asking for the public's help in locating the suspects in each of these crimes. Anybody with information is asked to call the Akron Police Department.

Tannadice Park
30th Dec 06
Craig Levein wants Aberdeen to suffer for Celtic's Boxing day comeback, when they make the trip to Tannadice for this afternoons SPL match.
Dundee United were just 15minutes away from their firs twin at Parkhead in exactly 14years, but Celtic scored 2 goals in 2 minutes and snuck 2-2 draw.
"Now we have to look forward and try to take our frustration out on Aberdeen," said Craig Levein.
"They are flying and even though we've had a resurgence in form we are still a little behind what they are achieving just now, although that's understandable given the time Jimmy Calderwood has been in charge and the opportunity that's given him to stamp his mark on the team."
"I consider us underdogs going into this game, though not to the extent I'd be happy with a draw. It's a match I am really looking forward to it. They'll bring a big crowd and I am hopeful our punters will turn out in numbers too."
"We're both in good form, although I wouldn't mind swapping league positions with Aberdeen!"
Levein is still disappointed after United lost 2 goals in the closing stages against Celtic. Before the match he said he would have been happy with a point, but after playing so well and being 2-0 up he was understandably gutted by the final 2-2 scoreline.
"Maybe I set my standards a bit high at Parkhead but it is still disappointing not to have won the game. Celtic did have one or two players out but on the day it was still a great opportunity to win the game."
"We defended well as a team and were pretty steady overall. It is just that feeling of disappointment the next day when you know you had such a chance to take three points."
The last time the 2 sides met at Pittodrie was during the pre-Levein era, when results and goals was more scarce and it was home side Aberdeen that won all 3 points with goals from Barry Nicholson(2) & Darren Mackie giving them a 3-1 win.
Since being freed by Dundee United, Lee Miller has b
Christian Kalvenes was expected to play at Parkhead, after returning from a suspension which saw him sit put the 1-0 home defeat to Hearts last weekend, but he missed the 2-2 draw with Celtic through illness.
The Dundee United defender has since recovered from the flu bug and is hoping to be part of the starting eleven to take on Aberdeen, though Noel Hunt(ankle) and Steven Robb(hamstring) are still out through injury.
Barry Robson picked up a knock during the Celtic match, but the captain is expected to have recovered in time to take his usual place in the starting United eleven.
His energy and drive has pushed the whole side forward in recent matches and his crossing from the wing is a danger to any defence.
Against Celtic he was unlucky to see a well taken freekick fly just over the bar, whilst against Hearts he hit the crossbar and pulled out a great save from Hearts keeper Banks, with a curling freekick into the the bottom corner of the net.
Aberdeen defender Russell Anderson picked up a knee injury against Kilmarnock om Boxing day and might not have recovered in time for the trip to Dundee, whilst defender Karim Touzani has also caught the flu bug and might not be fully fit to play.
Aberdeen boss Jimmy Calderwood still has Jamie Smith and another defender Richie Byrne out through injury.
Although, with Calderwood himself also suffering from the flu, it will by Jimmy Nicholl who will pick the side to take on Dundee United.
"United are a tougher prospect than they were a few weeks ago and you could see that by the way they were disappointed only to draw at Celtic Park this week,' said Jimmy Nicholl.
"They have been winning for fun at Tannadice lately and all of a sudden they are enjoying playing there, so it has been a really quick change. Teams usually get a lift with a new manager, but that has been really dramatic trans- formation for Dundee United and we are aware of the threat that poses.'
Another former United attacker who couldn't score for Dundee United, but seems determined to score against them now that he's playing for Aberdeen.

Predicting Dundee United results seems easier said than done. Expecting them to play badly against Celtic and then doing really well, expecting them to lose away from home against Motherwell, but turning in a performance.
Everyone seems to think this match will end in a draw, but since that's the most obvious result to predict, it probably wont turn out that way.
Just think of an unlikely score line and that'll probably be the way this match turns out.....
Prediction: Dundee United 3-2 Aberdeen.

The leading specialty coffee retailer, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters Inc. (GMCR - Analyst Report), welcomed three new members to its board of directors following the retirement of two of its board members — Lawrence Blanford, its former president and CEO, and Robert Stiller, the founder of GMCR.
Among the three new joiners, John D. Hayes was the former Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer of American Express; Susan Saltzbart Kilsby was the Senior Advisor to Credit Suisse AG; and Robert A. Steele served the Healthcare Strategy for The Proctor & Gamble Company as Vice Chairman prior to joining Green Mountain.
While Mr. Steele's appointment is effective from Jun 20, 2013, Mr. Hayes and Ms. Kilsby will take over their responsibilities in Green Mountain from Jul 1, 2013.
The new members on the board of Green Mountain with their profound experience in global business are expected to help the company move ahead in its growth trajectory with its Keurig single serve brewer. The Keurig business unit of Green Mountain is a pioneer and a leading manufacturer of gourmet single-cup brewing systems. It sells beverages produced by other business units of the company through At Home and Away From Home channels.
Green Mountain Coffee aims at popularizing the single-cup brewing system in America and has therefore, entered into several strategic distribution agreements to rope in popular brands like Dunkin' Brands Group Inc. (DNKN - Snapshot Report), Starbucks Corporation (SBUX - Analyst Report) and Unilever plc (UL - Analyst Report) into its portion-pack system.
On May 9, 2013 Green Mountain, which currently carries a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), delivered robust 2013-second-quarter adjusted earnings (excluding amortization of identifiable intangibles and SEC-inquiry related expenses) of 93 cents per share that surpassed the year-ago quarter earnings of 64 cents by 45%. It also beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 73 cents by 27.4% on the back of solid top-line growth and lower interest expense.
The company has raised its adjusted earnings per share outlook and capital investment guidance for fiscal 2013, but reiterated its net sales growth and free cash flow estimates. Green Mountain expects its adjusted earnings in the range of $3.05 to $3.15 per share for the fiscal year, up from the prior guidance of $2.72 to $2.82 per share.

In general, using only color to indicate information is bad for accessibility reasons. Red/green colorblindness is the most common and occurs in 8% of males. Using an icon, like an X or warning sign, is the best way to go.
If you must differentiate color for business reasons (i.e. people at the top think it should be a different color), then pick one that ...
Instead of using colors, draw visual emphasis through other means, such as using danger icons, font weight, and/or jagged outlines.
Here's a an example, excessively using all three of these cues:
EDIT: The comments below suggest that I didn't make it clear enough in my original post that using all three of these cues together would be excessive. (I'd ...
The benefit of an audible alarm is that it gives the operator information without them having to look at the screen - and hopefully draws their attention to the screen. Each sound is also different to give the operator quick feedback on what the alarm is.
So when you have multiple simultaneous alarms, playing only one of the alarms would give ...
Asking for feedback is no good from UX perspective at all, but it is good from the conversion point of view. You need ratings, as they convert to downloads, of course only if they are good good.
Before asking a question, you need to make sure user got familiar with using the app. So asking for this before this moment is a waste and will either not result in ...
When you consider that much effort (hopefully) goes into the design of other pages on the website, it's wrong to think that the search engine results page (SERP) should receive any less love.
There are several steps at which the zero SERP can be avoided or improved.
The first point of prevention is at the query formulation using as-you-type suggestions, ...
Looking at your form, I have a couple of concerns about your feedback mechanism
You are relying too much on color to communicate content or feedback and a colorblind user might not be able to see the difference between the two forms and might wonder what is the error is. I just ran your "error image" against a color blindness checker and in two types of ...
There are two different activities.... 1. Changing the details of a task and 2. Changing the task name itself. If details of task are changed, 'The task "foobar" has been successfully updated' is the message suitable. If the task name itself is changed, 'The task "foobar" has been successfully renamed to "dummy"' is the message suitable.
A progress bar should show actual progress. If you are simply showing 85% at some point, it's not really an indication of progress, and users will soon learn to ignore it.
If you have more specific information on the progress, you should use that. Otherwise, I would recommend a simple spinner or some other indicator that the process / program is still ...
I don't know about academic research, but here is an article that explores this avenue (option #4).
They recommend displaying a summary of the form data (in this case address data) in order to reduce the chance of disorientation (as you mentioned) and additionally provide the user with a way back to the original form, in case they actually do want to go ...
Having a clear feedback button has shown to increase the amount of feedback that you get. Whether this is a good thing or not depends on your business model.
Additionally a floating feedback button on the side of a site has become common place now, so most users won't have a problem with it. Which side it is on depends partly on design issues, and I've ...
It seems like you have two issues:
Verifying/understanding user requirements; and
Convincing your team that testing is a good idea.
Verifying/understanding user requirements
When trying to understand or verify user requirements, I try to stay from using any type of mockup or prototype. In this stage, I try to understand the problem not attempt a ...
Taking this question as more about how to get feedback on prototypes*, that is quite straight forward - You need to set them tasks so that they are focused on using the prototype to achieve a goal.
This could be things such as "From this screen where would you go to find out information about Red MacGuffin Shoes?" or "From the point of view of a typical ...
There is a saying "don't listen to your users, watch them", perhaps first suggested by Jacob Nielsen here.
To design an easy-to-use interface, pay attention to what users do, not what they say. Self-reported claims are unreliable, as are user speculations about future behavior.
If you search for "don't listen to your users" you'll find other ...
I propose a little different feedback model:
Don't display feedback for a reasonable time or number of runs. Let the user get acknowledged with your app first and forms his opinion. Otherwise user could give fast "false" feedback for just get rid of annoying button or just ignore it (like banner blindness effect).
Display feedback for reasonable time then. ...
As the specific terms are used, just make it obvious, instead of relying on user's memory. It's recognition over recall heuristic. This visualization helps to support mental model and eliminate errors.
It's better to use animation when switching between fields.
A little icon will work wonders in helping people visually relate the value to the parameter.
I would also put the fields the other way around so that the smaller parameter naturally precedes the larger parameter in the correctly numerically sorted order.
And in the event of both fields being completed, then on the loss of focus show a message, with the ...
It's always better to be positive.
Your first example is good, because not only does it indicate that the attempted action cannot be done, but it gives added value by letting the user know what they can do, thus adding value and helping discoverability.
The second example, not only says you can't do what you're trying but there's also a bunch of other ...
A few solutions could be:
Color coding on shifter - Forward moving gears could be colored green while reverse is left white. Red wouldn't be ideal since that's so closely related to 'stop'. There are problems with this approach because does white clearly mean reverse? Would a user be looking at the gear when choosing them? Could the graphic on the gear ...
A common affordance which informs users about cars reversing in india is the use of audio tunes to inform the user that the car is currently in reverse. Though its a very good affordance which immediately informs the user and the people around him that the car is in reverse, it does suffer from the issue of contributing the noise pollution and also the ...
Two buttons with the same functionality (Dismiss) for a user and some different meaning for you (Feedback) could lead to some issues:
user has no "neutral" choice, so you do force him to take some desicion (like vs dislike).
mixing two function in each button (Like+Dismiss and Dislike+Dismiss) could lead to false results. The only meaningful operation for ...
There will always be a section of any user base that will hate a developer if they dare charge for anything. (Even if (as per your proposal) the charge is voluntary and those who aren't prepared to pay can still hitch a ride on the coattails of those who do; which is the problem that shareware has always had.) The people who fall into this category expect to ...
The way Behance does it seems very effective:
At the bottom of posts there's an "Appreciate this" button that's standard throughout the site. Once the user clicks, the button changes to "Thank you" which provides the immediate feedback that the action was successful. The feedback is immediate and exactly where the user's focus is.
Besides the message, the ...
As Shesho mentions, limiting your requested feedback to a single question (or small group of them) can probably give you a good response, as it's easier to answer to a pre-made model than having to write something from scratch and without guidance.
The way to do it will depend on the nature of your project. If you are working on a site that not only allows ...
You can use a yellow border.
download bmml source – Wireframes created with Balsamiq Mockups
For most situations, you should stick to positive messages. They focus on what you can do and achieve more than what you can't, and so leave less of a negative impression.
However, there are times where negative messages are better. In particular, when the list of what you can do is too long and complicated when compared to what you can't do. Shorter ...
I swear that I will repeatedly tell users that nothing is guaranteed to actually appear in the final product, and that it may end up looking nothing like the mockups
Tried that many times, it simply doesn't work that way.
Problem #1: Users will have false sense of progress - There is nothing you can say or do to explain to your customers that what you ...

Crimson and Gold - Claude x Sebastian - Part 1Well, here it is you guys, as promised. Part 1 of my Claudey and Sebby fanfic. This is the first time I've published any of my fics online, it's kind of nerve-wracking XD I'll give this a T - rating for now for yaoiness, nothing explicit yet. But it will receive an M - rating in Part 2. Don't like yaoi? Boy x boy? Sexy butler love? Then please avert ye eyes. Anyway, I hope my writing style isn't too weird, I tend to be quite descriptive :3 I really hope you enjoy it, I worked very hard on it, I'd love to know what you think!------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sebastian Michaelis: the Raven butler who felled his enemies with fistfuls of forks and knives, the man who could seduce with a smile and a wink, lie awake in his modest, iron-frame bed staring up at the ceiling. Wispy tendrils of jet black hair lay carelessly across his face over his blood red eyes - his appearance of little concern to him
Crimson and Gold - Claude x Sebastian - Part 2If boy x boy ain't yo' thang, then please exit the premises. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sebastian was at a true loss for words. He felt as if he were caught in the most beautiful, dark, twisted dream; one which he had no desire to awaken from. One moment he lie alone in his bed, his precious Claude a mere memory, the next moment his love was right there beside him, whispering sweet words that his body yearned to hear. His skin was already tingling from the Spider's touch. The Raven was paralyzed with overwhelming bliss. Sebastian lie still on the bed, Claude seated close to him, exercising his control over the Raven. As the two stared at each other with an otherworldly glow in their eyes, the room gradually began to become warmer and warmer. Demons were usually icy cold to the touch most of the time, but the heat sha

From women-only floors to female-size slippers – these places deliver an extra-warm welcome for ladies checking in

When the poet G.K. Chesterton wrote, "There are no rules of architecture for a castle in the clouds," he may just as well have been speaking about our nation's castles. From palaces that rival Europe's finest to whimsical abodes, America's castles come in a variety of shapes and styles that reflect our rebellious history as much as our I- can-top-that legacy.
In Pictures: 10 Amazing Castles of America
The archetype of the classic Euro-style palace is best found in the Northeast, where a legacy of wealth reigned not so long ago. From Newport, R.I., famed for its mega-mansions, down through the Hudson Valley and across Long Island's fabled Gold Coast, Vanderbilts, Roosevelts and even fictional Gatsbys once put down roots, but few of their homes still stand, due to a lack of historical interest in earlier times.
As grand as they were, many of the structures played to their owners' caprices and passions. Among Newport's grandiose "cottages," Belcourt Castle's eccentricities stand out against its neighbours' more austere origins. August Belmont's love for his horses can be seen in the building's layout, with a chunk of the first floor devoted to 30 stables and two main carriage entrances.
America's Gilded Age of the late 1800s saw many behemoth homes go up, the largest of which was Biltmore, in Asheville, N.C. One of the nation's few large estates that's still family-owned, Biltmore was commissioned by George Vanderbilt with the idea of recreating a European working estate, a promise it fulfils to this day with its many on-site enterprises, such as wine-making. Visitors can stay at the Inn on Biltmore Estate.
"Most of America's castles were built in the 1920s, before the income tax, when the rich had untold wealth," said Kathryn Farrington, Vice President of Marketing of the Newport County Convention and Visitors Bureau. "Americans are always looking to supersize everything. But the difference between American and European castles is that European castles don't feel very inviting. When you walk into an American castle, you feel as if you've walked into someone's home."

Of all the varieties of American castles, there's only one that can claim a royal pedigree—Hawaii's Iolani Palace. "The building is the most significant symbol of the monarchy period," said preservation architect Glenn Mason, "even though it was primarily a ceremonial building." King Kalakaua, a world traveller who wished to expand his nation's international reputation, envisioned Iolani as a grander idea of what his kingdom could be. He did not foresee that Queen Liliuokalani, Hawaii's last monarch and Kalakaua's sister, would be imprisoned in Iolani Palace after the nation's government was overthrown.

Not all American castles were built on bank accounts. Some, such as Wing's Castle, in Milbrook, N.Y., rose out of obsession, or pure will. When Peter Wing returned from his tour in Vietnam in 1969, he was penniless. With recycled materials such as bits of barns and railroads, Wing began construction of a fortress that looks like it's straight out of the 12th century—but adorned with such whimsies as a fireplace situated in the middle of a Buddha's belly and tongue-wagging faces extruding from the stone walls. Almost four decades later, the structure still isn't complete. "I want it to be over with," says Wing, a self-described obsessive-compulsive castle-builder, "but I'm not going to walk away from it."
image © David Cornwell
A similar obsession-fuelled castle builder is Edward Leedskalnin used the coral from his Florida land in 1923 to begin what would become known as Coral Castle, a monument to the 16-year-old girl who left him the day before their wedding. For 28 years, the Latvian immigrant toiled to create towers, giant rocking chairs, stunningly accurate sundials, and even a nine-ton revolving gate—all of which he claimed to have made himself. To this day, engineers are unsure how Leedskalnin accomplished some of his masonry feats.
For a nation that gave the boot to monarchy, America seems to have enough castles dotting its landscape to please most any palate—from regal to renegade, classic to quirky. With such a wealth of variety (and with the dollar having taken a nose-dive), travellers can be satisfied with postponing a European voyage in favour of exploring the bounty of regal treasures found on their own soil.

The First Word in Protective & Marine Coatings

Wednesday, March 7, 2012 More items for Coating Materials
If shock can sell paint, Nippon Paints may have a winner, with a new series of ads featuring outrageous piercings—including one with a live snake.
"Now give your nose something else to do," Asia's largest paint and coatings company urges in the ads for its new odorless paint.
The series, developed by advertising agency JWT (formerly J. Walter Thompson) of Chennai, India, began running in December.
In each ad, an elder—presumably liberated from annoying paint fumes—gives his nose over to a piercing that commands attention.
One man's nose is festooned in several adornments, including a handcuff-sized steel ring; another sports a ring and a pencil-size metal rod.
A third bears a large tusk in his nose, while the fourth trumps all with a live snake through his piercing.
Nippon Paint declined a request to discuss the ad campaign or to comment on its success.
Founded in Japan in 1881, Nippon manufactures protective, marine, road, automotive and architectural coatings.

You know what's startling? The endless supply of companies that EPIC FAIL in the Facebook realm. Soooo many companies grasp that they should be on Facebook. They get that this whole "Social Media" thing can positively impact their business. The problem is that many businesses opt to have the CTO's 12-year-old create an account and… Read More

As outlined in the heading, I am seeing problems whereby I am attempting to map two different classes to the same table. Each class has a different primary key; one has a primary key equal to that on the physical table, the other uses a composite of 2 different fields.
The reason I am attempting this is because we recently switched the primary key on the table, and we would like to be able to support the legacy classes and the new classes.
Can some confirm if what I am doing is not possible?

AbstractDespite the discovery of anti-endothelial cell antibodies (AECA) in a heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by endothelial damage, their pathogenic role is still debated. Experimental in vitro models indicate that they can either damage endothelial cells or trigger cell signaling by reacting with as yet undefined surface molecules. However, clinical studies suggest that, in addition to AECA, other pathogenic mechanisms are involved in the vasculitic process. Recently, antibodies specific for β2 glycoprotein I, the phospholipid-binding protein targeted by anti-phospholipid antibodies, have been shown to display anti-endothelial activity. These autoantibodies recognize β2 glycoprotein I adhered to the endothelium and induce a cell perturbation that might underlie the thrombophilic state of the anti-phospholipid syndrome.

AbstractBoth the innate and adaptive immune responses are dependent on the migration of leukocytes across endothelial cells. The process of diapedesis, in which the leukocyte crawls between tightly apposed endothelial cells, is a unique and complex process. Several molecules concentrated at the junctions of endothelial cells, originally described as having a role in holding the endothelial monolayer together, have also been shown to have a role in the emigration of leukocytes. Several mechanisms have been proposed for 'loosening' the junctions between endothelial cells to enable leukocyte passage. These leukocyte–endothelial-cell adhesion molecules are probably involved in regulating the signaling as well as the adhesion events of diapedesis. In addition, this Review introduces a new and unified nomenclature for the junctional adhesion molecule (JAM) family.

A recent meeting1 1 The Workshop 'Anti-Endothelial-Cell antibodies' was part of the 4th International Conference on SLE, and was held in Jerusalem, Israel, on 26–31 March 1995.

In Java EE, when using JPA to persist classes, my persistance.xml file looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<persistence version="2.0" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_2_0.xsd">
<persistence-unit name="JMonks_Crud">
<property name="eclipselink.ddl-generation" value="drop-and-create-tables"/>
<property name="eclipselink.ddl-generation.output-mode" value="both"/>
The only experience so far i have with JPA is from an example that is supposed to clear all the values in the database, then there is servlet's post method to hardcode some values into the used. To accomplish this, the example uses:
<property name="eclipselink.ddl-generation" value="drop-and-create-tables"/>
However I want to persist the data in the database between sessions (like any good dynamic site), and i do not know what to put in the value attribute to do accomplish this. the wikia site (http://wiki.eclipse.org/Using_EclipseLink_JPA_Extensions_(ELUG)#Using_EclipseLink_JPA_Extensions_for_Schema_Generation) says that these are the three different values that it can place in this value:
- none – EclipseLink does not generate DDL; no schema is generated.
- create-tables – EclipseLink will attempt to execute a CREATE TABLE SQL for each table. If the table already exists, EclipseLink will follow the default behavior of your specific database and JDBC driver combination (when a CREATE TABLE SQL is issued for an already existing table). In most cases an exception is thrown and the table is not created. EclipseLink will then continue with the next statement. (See also eclipselink.create-ddl-jdbc-file-name.)
- drop-and-create-tables – EclipseLink will attempt to DROP all tables, then CREATE all tables. If any issues are encountered, EclipseLink will follow the default behavior of your specific database and JDBC driver combination, then continue with the next statement. (See also eclipselink.create-ddl-jdbc-file-name and eclipselink.drop-ddl-jdbc-file-name.)
if I use the none attribute, will it grab the existing tables with populated data? or will none make no tables at all and not help? if i use create-tables, won't i just get an exception thrown? as the table I am trying to use already exists.
thanks for your time :)

Bradley Cooper Eager to Shoot 'Hangover III'; Says Todd Phillips Is Working on Script (Video)
During an appearance on the "Graham Norton Show," the actor said he hoped to start filming the Warner Bros. threequel in September.
While recently promoting the DVD release of The Hangover Part II on Britain's Graham Norton Show, Bradley Cooper unveiled some details about a possible, and probably, third edition of the popular comedy franchise.
"I personally want to do it. I hope we're going to start shooting in September," Cooper said. "I know [director] Todd Phillips is working on the script."
PHOTOS: 'The Hangover' Stars Before They Were Famous
Cooper said a new installment would most likely shake-up the formula used in the first two movies, "We adhered to the formula in the second one, for those of you who've seen it, and the third one, which would close the whole sort of trilogy, which now it would be a trilogy -- even though we thought we would never make a second one, let alone anybody see the first one -- I think it will take place in Los Angeles and maybe not adhere to the structure. It might be different."
Hangover star Zach Galifianakis made similar comments in June, telling Rolling Stone that he's heard that the plot ditches the format of the first two films and focuses on his character, the oddball Alan, escaping from a mental institution with help from the "wolf pack."
PHOTOS: Bradley Cooper and 19 of Hollywood's Shortest Marriages
Though there hasn't been any official word on another sequel, Warner Bros. has made moves to bring the film's creative gang back together -- Craig Mazin, who co-wrote the Bangkok-set Hangover II, is in talks to come back to write the new script.
Earlier this year, the film's Ken Jeong told The Hollywood Reporter he'd gladly sign on to another installment of the franchise. "I would absolutely do a third one [with] no fear of typecasting," he said. "All of my fame and success in the last few years is directly due to The Hangover. Those guys are like family to me, so it doesn't matter -- big part or small part… Well, I guess I know a thing or two about small parts."
Released over the Memorial Day weekend in the States, The Hangover II has grossed $254,464,000 domestically and $327 million worldwide.
Cooper begins talking about The Hangover III at the 5:15 minute mark.

Goal.com Transfer Talk is your 24/7 source for all the latest rumours in the global transfer market.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is not keen on a potential deal to take Robin van Persie back to Emirates Stadium, with the Dutchman currently unsettled at Manchester United.
Inter will offer Mateo Kavacic plus cash in an attempt to beat off competition from rival clubs for striker Javier Hernandez.
Real Madrid striker Alvaro Morata, who has been strongly linked with a move to Arsenal, would like to play in Germany for either Borussia Dortmund, Schalke or Bayer Leverkusen.
Roma are considering making a move for Tottenham midfielders Sandro and Paulinho following the serious injury sustained by Kevin Strootman.
Arsene Wenger is fast-tracking hot prospect Gedion Zelalem toward a three-year contract. The 17-year-old has already featured for the first team and is expected to sign a deal until 2017.
Branislav Ivanovic is set to be rewarded for his good form for Chelsea with a new four-year deal. The 30-year-old has two years left on his deal but the Blues are willing to improve his £120,000 per week deal.
David Moyes will allow striker Javier Hernandez to leave Manchester United at the end of the season. Chicharito has been linked with the likes of Borussia Dortmund and has started just four games under the Scot.
Manchester United are looking to strengthen their defence in the summer and David Moyes is keen to sign either PSG star Alex or Roma centre-back Mehdi Benatia.
Chelsea will ask for £32 million from Atletico Madrid if they are to part with promising goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois in the summer.

/ Peter Jackson
Peter Jackson
Peter Robert Jackson, CNZM (born 31 October 1961) is a three-time Academy Award-winning New Zealand filmmaker, producer and screenwriter, best known for The Lord of the Rings trilogy adapted from the novel by J. R. R. Tolkien. He is also known for his 2005 remake of King Kong. He won international attention early in his career with his "splatstick" horror comedies, before coming to mainstream prominence with Heavenly Creatures, for which he shared an Academy Award best screenplay nomination with his partner Fran Walsh. Jackson, an only child, was born on 31 October 1961 in Pukerua Bay, a coastal town near Wellington, New Zealand. His parents, Joan, a factory worker and housewife, and William Jackson, an accountant, were both immigrants from England. As a child, Jackson was a keen film fan, growing up on Ray Harryhausen films as well as finding inspiration in the television series Thunderbirds and Monty Python's Flying Circus. After a family friend gave the Jacksons a Super 8 cine-camera with Peter in mind, he began making short films with his friends. Jackson has long cited King Kong as his favourite film, and around the age of nine he attempted to remake it using his own
