West: Weary No. 13 La Salle Upsets No. 4 Kansas State Print article Send a Tip by Tony Lee 22 Mar 2013 post a comment No. 13 La Salle, from the unheralded and underrated Atlantic-10 Conference, defeated Boise State in a play-in game on Wednesday in Dayton, Ohio and essentially had to go on the road to Kansas City, Missouri to upset No. 4 Kansas State. The Atlantic-10 Conference went undefeated in the opening rounds of the NCAA tournament. The Explorers raced out to a 44-26 at halftime but fatigue seemed to catch up with them in the second half, as Kansas State, energized by what was essentially a home crowd, stormed back to take the lead when Rodney McGruder made a layup to put Kansas State up 57-56 at around the seven-minute mark in the second half. Jerrell Wright, La Salle's only big man, had 21 points and eight rebounds and made three of four huge free throws in the final seconds of the game to keep La Salle ahead. After Wright missed his last free throw, though, La Salle led only by two points, 63-61, but Kansas State's Angel Rodriguez threw up a wild shot that failed to tie the game as the horn sounded. La Salle will play No. 12 Ole Miss, which beat No. 5 Wisconsin, for a trip to the Sweet 16, which means that either a No. 12 or 13 seed will be in the Sweet 16 from the West. The winner of that game will most likely face top-seed Gonzaga in Los Angeles next week. Gonzaga, a team that almost became the first No. 1 seed in history to lose on Thursday, will face No. 9 Wichita State tomorrow.

Diary: 'Take 35' for film star Carla
Friday 30 July 2010
Gleeful reports in the British press this week regarding Carla Bruni's trials and tribulations on Woody Allen's film set suggest Meryl Streep need not be losing any sleep quite yet. We're told – with maybe a hint of exaggeration – that it took France's First Lady a whopping 35 takes to convincingly exit a grocery store. Apparently the problem was caused by the fact "Madame Fancy Pants" couldn't stop staring at the camera! As the Daily Mail helpfully pointed out, it's not the first time she's tried to "monopolise" the lense. Apparently on a visit to London she shamelessly deployed all her "feline charm" in the direction of hapless snappers "licking her lips seductively" and offering a "husky 'bonjour'." (Glad I missed all that). Still, suggestions Bruni's take-tally could be one for the record books are wide of the mark. According to film historians, that honour still goes to one Shelley Duvall, who was obliged to perform 127 takes of the infamous" baseball-bat" scene with Jack Nicholson in The Shining before director Stanley Kubrick was satisfied. Still time Carla.

Saturday 15 May 2010
The sound of the future has been imagined many times, so many times in fact that it always tends to sound the same. Through attrition, repetition, and – one suspects – laziness, the future always sounds accelerated, robotic, metallic and other-worldly. And not a little computer-generated. Which is obviously how we like it. Walter Carlos has imagined it (he wrote much of the incidental music for A Clockwork Orange), as have Giorgio Moroder and Tonto's Expanding Head Band. Neu did it, John Barry did it, and Kraftwerk have been at it for 40 years.

Not for their consideration: notable omissions in this year's Academy Award nominations
Friday 05 March 2010
The Academy has always had its blind spots. Over the years, many films subsequently acknowledged as gilt-edged masterpieces have been completely frozen out of the Oscars. The list of omissions stretches from Howard Hawks' 'The Big Sleep' to Charlie Chaplin's 'Modern Times', from the Marx brothers' 'A Night at the Opera' to Stanley Kubrick's 'Paths of Glory', from Orson Welles's 'Chimes at Midnight' to John Ford's 'The Searchers'. Westerns, comedies and gangster films have been especially unfortunate – and you don't find many horror movies in the mix, either.

Ancient Rome was, without a trace of shame, a slave society. Captives from her innumerable wars were auctioned as chattels, and were seen as no more than "talking instruments". By the first century BC, slaves may have accounted for one third of the population of Italy, some two million souls.

4.2/5 rDev -2.6%
look: 5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.5
Brilliant, crystal clear glowing orange bodied IPA. Bone white fluffy head, two fingers worth, rests atop. The head works its way back rather slowly, ultimately leaving a slim cap floating atop. Spotty lacing left cemented to the walls of the glass. The appearance is top notch, I am not sure how one would improve upon this.
The aroma delivers an unexpected balance between the malt and the hop characteristics. A sweet toasted bread and caramel aromas just nudge out the hops up front. The hops are not overshadowed however, intense resinous and citrusy aromas develops underneath. I normally do not like this much malt in the nose with my American IPAs but this works. It may not be appropriate for the style but the end result is impressive.
Similarities can be found between the aroma and the flavor, however the citrus pops a bit more on the tongue. Sweet orangey citrus lands on the tongue first, a more bitter, pithy grapefruit flavor develops just behind. As the beer moves back on the palate a strong resiny flavor is picked up and lingers. The malt provides a solid base, despite the strong hop presence the malt is not buried. A toasted biscuit flavor emerges along side a noticeable but not overpowering caramel flavor.
Medium bodied IPA, the carbonation is moderate and appropriate for the style. Slight oily texture on the tongue, the feel at the end it rather soft and creamy. Finish is not bone dry but remains on the dryer side, perfectly reasonable for the style.
Overall an impressive beer. The balance exhibited really took me by surprise. The malt was a bit more prominent than what I prefer for the style but it was displayed in such a way that I easily overlooked it. Very easy to drink and rather enjoyable. I suppose they can do something right in the state to the south.

4.25/5 rDev -1.4%
look: 3.75 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.25
Appearance: Golden orange color. Half a finger of head on the pour and present on the edges of the glass while drinking. Heavy sticky lacing left behind at each level. Average amount of active carbonation.
Smell: Tame tropical fruits mix well with some medium bodied pine bitterness and a light caramel body on the front. Citrus picks up more on the body and continues to showcase a very breathable tropical fruit body. Pine grows more toward the back end and rides this brew out.
Taste: Citrus and tropical fruits jump the palate. Grapefruit and pine are potent on the body. The malt brings a very crisp flavor which really allows the bright hop tones to showcase themselves. Lingering bitterness on the aftertaste.
Mouthfeel: Crisp. Carbonation is very well done and works well with the malt and hop tones.
Overall: Another outstanding midwest, west coast style IPA. Citrus and fruit forward with a solid malt backbone which really allows the hop to shine. Highly recommend this one.

look: 4 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4.25
Appearance - Golden in color with a modest white head.
Smell - A mild citrusy aroma was present with an certain Earthiness to back it up.
Taste - At the front, I noted citrus rind, lemon, grass, grapefruit, and grassy resin. For an IPA, this is quite busy and far from one-dimensional. The hops seem to mellow in the aftertaste with mild resiny after.
Mouthfeel - I would suggest this to be a pretty typical IPA in terms of mouthfeel with modest carbonation brushing away the citrus and allowing the resin to linger.
Overall - This is certainly a better than average IPA, particularly for those seeking something more than a hop-bomb.

Pours a brilliant copper with a silky, frothy cream head that lingers.
Grapefruit, pineapple, and pine form the initial aroma, with resin and earthy hops adding complexity. There's a hint of onion accompanying toasted, bready malt.
Hops dominate the flavor profile, with tropical fruit quickly brewing overwhelmed by resin and onion, leading to a lingering, lightly bitter finish. Pineapple and grapefruit pith provide contrast to earthy hops.
Body is moderate, with carbonation a touch on the high side, accentuating the fruity hop character. Alcohol warmth is fairly subtle, but noticeable.
Excellent range of flavoring hops, with just enough bitterness to keep me wanting to drink more.

Dragons' Den: CBC scours Canada looking for big ideas
With more than 40 stops scheduled across Canada Dragons' Den producers looking for the next big deal.
Those fire breathing tycoons on CBC's popular series Dragons' Den are hungry for your big ideas.
The popular Canadian television series places relatively inexperience entrepreneurs in front of a panel of savvy business people who listen to their ideas and bid on the ideas they want to back.
Starting this month in Toronto, the show's producers will visit as many as 40 Canadian cities holding open auditions for new contestants to compete on the show.
Tour dates will continue to be updated on the show's website.
Candidates are asked to apply online and bring a completed application to the audition.
Experience, they say, is unnecessary.
And there is no age limit. In fact, considering the popularity of the show's "All-Student" specials in previous seasons, the show will continue to audition young entrepreneurs.
You've got to be able to pitch your idea in less than five minutes. And those who impress the producers may be asked to face the Dragons head on when the upcoming season is filmed in Toronto.

Great room for the price! Location excellent if you're exploring downtown, less spectacular if you're more into the outskirts. Free street parking is available.
Front desk staff were professional, but could havr been more friendly. If you are unable to find street parking nearby there is an Impark lot right in from which will cost you about 18-24 a night. Valet is the only hotel option at 25.
Nice hotel, ended up getting into a service elevator by accident, but overall a good experience. Would definitely book again!

Op-Ed: Full Tilt Poker RIP?
Alexander Baron
Oct 14, 2011 in
Alexander Baron
The sad saga of Full Tilt Poker drags on and on; although there is still a glimmer of hope for its resurrection, most realists accept that it is in effect dead and buried.
Although pundits and players continue to talk about Full Tilt Poker in the present tense, the company is effectively dead. A typical headline yesterday read
Full Tilt Poker May Reapply for AGCC License
, which is a bit like saying the Pope may join Al-Qaeda. The simple fact is that since Black Friday when the Department of Justice and FBI seized its domain, there has been no action on its tables. The site is now "back", ie it can be viewed, but that is as far as it goes.
For the background to the seizure, see
. PokerStars and the other big sites are now operating to all intents and purposes as profitably as they ever were, bar the massive American market, but Full Tilt has gone down the tubes; for some reason, the powers-that-be seemed to really have it in for the site. The propaganda being peddled by the DoJ in particular is that Full Tilt is or was a Ponzi scheme. This is absolute piffle. The
Federal Reserve system is a Ponzi scheme
; the world banking cartel is a Ponzi scheme, but Full Tilt was a legitimate money making enterprise.

Op-Ed: Full Tilt Poker pros set for UKIPT tournament
Op-Ed: Poker sees high growth in Europe and Asia
For a slightly more detailed explanation of how a poker site works, the reader is referred to
Gordon Brown's Poker Lesson
, but very briefly, there are two ways to play poker: cash games and tournaments. With a tournament there is a buy-in and a registration fee. Typically, the registration fee is one tenth of the buy-in, and this goes to the house. The buy-in goes into the prize pool, so 1000 people entering a tournament with a $10 buy-in and $1 registration fee will generate $11,000 of which $10,000 will go back to the players (eg $400 for first place; $200 for second...$25 for 90th to 100th places) and $1000 to the house.
In cash games, players use real money, and the house takes a "rake" out of each pot, usually 5% capped at $3. A $20 pot will see $19 go to the winner of the hand, and $1 to the house. A $60 pot will see $57 go to the winner and $3 to the house. A $1,000 pot will see $997 go to the winner of the hand, and $3 to the house. For those who play at silly stakes where there can be $10,000 or considerably more in a pot, the rake is a very tiny although cumulative amount to pay.
The poker site actually takes no part in the game. If you were running a poker tournament in your local church hall, heaven forbid, you would expect to be paid for your services; even if you were volunteering, you would still have overheads to pay. This is the sole function of a poker site. It may be of course that a poker site can be defrauded, like any other business, but the legal authorities have to date adduced no credible evidence that Full Tilt has ripped off anyone, least of all its players.
That being said, any innocent person who has been dragged through the courts will confirm that at the end of the day, justice is seldom done. There will always be the innuendo of no smoke without fire, and failing that, legal fees to pay. For Full Tilt though, the biggest factor is undoubtedly that it has now been in the doldrums for a full six months, and if a week is a long time in politics, half a year is a lifetime in gambling.

Aggregating objects within PHP5
by Emmanuel Ndayiragije, Jun. 26, 2010 at 12:19 PM
If you did not know, it is worth to know that from PHP5 the full (OOP) Object Oriented programming paradigm is totally integrated.
In this article, i am going talk about one of the technics of OOP with PHP. If you do not have any notion in Object oriented programming, in any programming languages like Java, C++, C#, Ruby, ...
i will advise to first learn OOP paradigm or find some introduction to Object oriented programming on the internet. You may purchase some book on this matter, if you want.
When you go OOP programming, you will in one or other way interact with some objects. Thus aggregation of object refers to a situation where one or more objects( the Aggregated objects ) are passed to another object( the Aggregating object ) to perform some operations or methods within that object that called it.
The aggregating object instatiates or creates an object of the aggregated class in its constructor method. To be able for the aggregating object calling methods or public properties of the aggragated objects, the PHP5 magic method (__call) come in handful. Within this __call method, another PHP function (call_user_func_array) comes in handy for matching the aggregated object to its called method.
May be it is not easy to figure out how it is all about. But in the classes defined here underneath, you can get it. You can also check the demonstration of this code
<?php /** * Description of Product * * @author Emmanuel */ class Product { private $name = null; private $price = null; public function setProdName($name=null){ } public function getProdName(){ else return null; } public function setProdPrice($price = null){ } public function getProdPrice(){ } } /** * Description of Buyer of the product * */ class Buyer{ private $name = null; public function setBuyername($name){ } public function getBuyerName(){ } } /** * Description of ProductCategory * */ class Manufacturer { private $name = null; protected $product; protected $buyer; public function __construct(){ $this->product = new Product; $this->buyer = new Buyer; } // public function setName($name){ $this->name = $name; } } // public function getName(){ return $this->name ; } public function __call($method, $arguments){ $arguments ); } // $arguments ); } } } $factory = new Manufacturer(); $factory->setName("FACTORY_1"); //Call methods from aggregated Product object $factory->setProdName("PRODUCT_1"); $factory->setProdPrice("€150,-"); //Call methods from aggregated Buyer object $factory->setBuyerName("Emmanuel Manu"); echo "Manufacturer's name : ".$factory->getName()."
"; echo "Product's name : ".$factory->getProdName()."
"; echo "Product's price : ".$factory->getProdPrice()."
"; echo "Buyer : ".$factory->getBuyerName()."

If we talk about performance issues, the advantages of aggregating objects within other objects mainly come from its lower overload, since most of the time only one object is shared by other objects. However, this advantage might be discarded in the case of having a class for database connection shared by other multiple classes. You may run into difficulties if multiple database connections are established to the same server, causing a noticeable detriment to the system, particularly if your site is attracting many visitors.
Of course it is not a good idea to design your DB object with Objects Aggregation, instead the Singleton Pattern may be in this case, providing one and only existing object for DB, very useful. This is to avoid creating new instances of a DB class with key (new) and end up with overheading the system beacause every instantiated object is kept in the memory of the system.
Patterns in PHP is also very important to effectively and efficiently design not only webapplications but also any soft. applications. Patterns topics will come in the latter articles.

Kevin Durant is on the verge of securing his third straight scoring title. If he can hold of Lakers guard Kobe Bryant, the Thunder's All-Star forward will join an elite group of players that have won the scoring title three straight seasons. It'd be the first time a player has done it since Michael Jordan from 1995-98. The others: Wilt Chamberlain, George Gervin, George Mikan, Neil Johnston and Bob McAdoo (see list below).\ Durant is averaging 27.90 points with two games remaining, starting with tonight's contest against Sacramento. Bryant is averaging 27.86 points with one game left to play, which is Thursday at Sacramento. "Kobe's an unbelievable scorer, man" Durant said. "And he's having a great season as well. If it happens, then that's cool. If not, then I'm not worried about it. I'm just going to go out there and play my game. I'm not going to force anything just so I can score more points than Kobe." MOST CONSECUTIVE SCORING TITLES 7: Wilt Chamberlain Philadelphia/San Francisco 1959-1966 7: Michael Jordan Chicago 1986-1993 3: George Mikan Minneapolis 1948-1951 3: Neil Johnston Philadelphia 1952-55 3: Bob McAdoo Buffalo 1973-76 3: George Gervin San Antonio 1977-1980 3: Michael Jordan Chicago 1995-98 -DM-

Gersh Itskovich Budker
Article Free PassGersh Itskovich Budker, (born May 1, 1918, Murafa, near Vinnitsa, Ukraine—died July 4, 1977, Novosibirsk, Russia, U.S.S.R.), Soviet physicist who developed new methods of particle acceleration in high-energy physics.
Budker graduated from Moscow State University in 1941 and served in air defense during World War II. In 1945 he started working in Laboratory #2 (subsequently renamed the Kurchatov Institute of Atomic Energy) in Moscow on the theory of nuclear reactions; he received a doctorate for this work in 1950. After taking part in the construction of a proton accelerator in Dubna, Budker shifted his research to relativistic plasma physics. In 1952 he proposed the idea of a stabilized electron beam and also suggested plasma traps with magnetic mirrors for controlling nuclear fusion. In 1958 Budker organized—and directed until his death—the Nuclear Physics Institute in Akademgorodok (near Novosibirsk) as part of the new Siberian branch of the U.S.S.R. Academy of Sciences. From 1965 to 1967, he constructed electron and electron-positron accelerators based on a new method of colliding beams, and in 1966 he invented a method of using electrons to cool (slow) heavier particles. Budker was elected a corresponding member (1958) and a full member (1964) of the Academy of Sciences.

Cher's Alive, Despite What You Read On Twitter
Originally published on Tue April 9, 2013 7:35 am
What do you see when you read this Twitter hashtag?
It's supposed to be about Monday's death of former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and looks to have been popularized by the website "IsThatcherDeadYet," which was not upset to hear about the Iron Lady's passing. "It's fair to say that we are not fans," site co-creator Jared Earle told The Guardian.
When Thatcher died, the website asked readers "how are you celebrating?" and suggested they use the #nowthatcherisdead hashtag.
Monday at 7:58 a.m. ET, just after the news broke of Thatcher's death, the hashtag popped up on Twitter. The first tweet from someone who seemed to have read it wrong came four minutes later:
"So sad to hear that Cher is dead. #nowthatcherisdead."
That led to some confusion and amusement. Comedian Ricky Gervais was among those who tried to straighten things out:
"Some people are in a frenzy over the hashtag #nowthatchersdead. It's 'Now Thatcher's dead'. Not, 'Now that Cher's dead' JustSayin' "
This goes to show, tweets @WePlayOnWords, "why capital letters should be used in hashtags #NowThatcherIsDead #nowthatcherisdead."
As for Cher, she doesn't seem to have joined in the discussion. But she was on Twitter early Tuesday, posting notes and a photo.

"CL, who carries a very confident image, is taking a plunge and going nude in 2NE1's new music video. More than the nude scene being just sexy, it will be a mysterious scene that makes you feel like you're looking into an artistic piece of a woman's outer beauty and inner sadness."

i really don't know how to feel about this, as a forever loyal CL fan. nudity in the right context especially if done very tastefully can lead to artistic meaning. but i just don't want much hate thrown at her, as if she's not getting enough already. i'm nervous about it . i guess i'll just have to really watch the video with anticipation and trust YG isn't going to make her look terrible. all for the love of music and arts, right?
gots to say, kudos to her for being brave though. nudity isn't an easy thing to do.

This Pop Tart Cake was made for a dear friend who loves...well, Pop Tarts. We laugh at the fact that she eats Pop Tarts ever single day. It only seemed fitting that I make her an over-sized Pop Tart Cake. Gave me an excuse to make a food item into a cake. The size of the plate in the picture is a very large charger size plate. The cake is about the size of a book and has vanilla cake with masserated strawberries that were tossed in glaze and pureed. The cake was sliced in two thin layers and the strawberry on the inside really makes the whole thing look like a Pop Tart when you cut into it. The top is pink icing with sprinkles on top. Then I painted the crust a little with food color to give it that toasted Pop Tart effect. Came out pretty cool over all. Kerry loved it.

There's a difference between ugly fat and dangerous fat. In general, the ugly stuff, by social convention is a view from the rear. The worrisome kind of fat bulges under your belt and is best seen from the side. Waist size provides a clue that there is bad fat inside the abdomen. It's called visceral fat. Some of that is stored in your liver and it's especially problematic.

New Hammock for Short Woman
Hi All,
I'm after a new hammock for my partner, Annette. She has been using a homemade Speer type hammock (2.8m of ripstop, ends whipped). She'd like to something a bit longer, as she found my 3m length hammocks much more comfortable, though she's only 5 foot tall. The budget is $120. We've been browsing Grand Trunk, Eno etc even Warbonnet, but Brandon is away. She liked the enclosed tent like nature of my hennessy, but $120 sort of puts that out of the question. Any ideas? thanks in advance. |

I'm 5 foot and love my Clark, course the cost of it is way above your set price. I got to try out a Blackbird Warbonnet and I felt like I was in a huge hanging tent, did I mention it's huge?!! I like the closeness of my Clark better. So if she's looking for a larger hammock, the Clark may not be the one she's needing anyways. Maybe look at the Trek Light double hammock and bugnetting.
http://www.treklightgear.com/catalog/pc/home.asp or look into the DIY and see if you can make a double hammock. |

Grand Trunk's Skeeter Beeter falls into that range I believe. The tarp could add to the cost but if you already have a tarp for the DIY thing you should be in good shape. Very serviceable hammock and ideal for the shorter hanger.
You might also check the HH Scout as I have heard good things about it for a shorted hanger.
I may be slow... But I sure am gimpy.

My gf is 4'11" and has an HH Scout. It works well for her. It took me a couple tries to get it hung right, though. I was doing it in the dark and didn't get it hung tight enough to pull the ridgline taught. Once that was done she really liked it. This is where we got it from:
http://greatescapessports.com/catalo...out-p-671.html Much cheaper than the HH site. You have to buy your snakeskins seperately, but it's still cheaper.

Get a Byer Moskito, remove the nylon strings at the ends, and run whoopie slings through the end channels. You end up with an inexpensive ultralight netted hammock with a zipper entry that is sized just right for 5' tall people.

I have a GrandTrunk Ultralight w/whoopie slings I would part with for a reasonable offer if you're interested.
It's the forrest green color and I removed the stuff sack because I didn't want it attached for use inside a bug net (it was unnecessary for storage because I used snake skins, but I will include it with the hammock). |

Scotch Malt Whisky Society "MARCH PREVIEWS: GROWING ON YOU" – Scotch Whisky News
As a first few hopeful rays of sunshine brighten our day, we've been inspired to release some bottlings with a vigorous, sprouting feel.

Wow, someone has been dipping into their own stash. That is preposterous - even your buddy Jakob N. (unless he sold out) will tell you that search ads are the most effective medium because they cater to the user. Now that Google has all these ad products maybe they should hire professional market researchers to go along with their math and computer science PhD's. What is this study that their site and GG keep mentioning that shows content ads have roughly the same ROI as search ads. What sites served the ads? What products were sold? How long did it last? Who conducted it? I for one, do not believe it. I am not disputing that content ads can be effective, but to keep claiming they are on a par with search ads and charging the same price is not right.
I think these ads can be just as valuable as one triggered by a search.

Peru dolphin deaths
Juan Carlos Sueiro, an economist who has worked in government and with public interest groups on coastal protection, said the die-offs highlight Peru's general lack of readiness for emergencies of this sort.
"The resources are scarce and in a situation like this there is no procedure or team in place," he said.
A larger problem, Sueiro added, is Peru's incomplete monitoring of the health of its coastal waters.
Beaches are monitored during the summer by the Health Ministry, and bays and other areas crucial to the fishing industry are checked by IMARPE, an agency of the fisheries division of Peru's Production Ministry.
"Peru doesn't have a policy of coastal territory management," said Sueiro. "It is probably the most backward in the entire region."

Java EE 6: module and application scopes of java:comp/env?
I would like to get feedbacks about
application-scoped and module-scoped resource/EJB references (in
) which are being discussed in Java EE 6 JSR.
As you know, when we define simple
environment entries or refer to data sources or EJBs we need to
specify java:comp/env
ENC(Environment Naming Context) entries like
or via annotations on the component
@Resource(name="myDataSource", type=javax.sql.DataSource.class)
@EJB(name="ejb/myBean", beanInterface= some.package.MyBeanInterface.class)
Then we use these java:comp/env/xxx
entries in the application code with lookup or injection. Also it may
need to map these entries to the global JNDI names of the real
physcial resources via vendor-specific way or mapped name elements.
This is a good indirection facility rather than using global JNDI
names directly in the code.
Current limitation is that EJB module
can only have component-scoped(per-bean) namespace so that you need
to define the same references and mappings again and again for each
EJB. This is different from web module which has only module scope.
Therefore it's hard to define shared configuration/references at
module level and it's especially inconvenient for module default
Also there is no notion of application
scope for sharing between modules inside one application. So it's
difficult to share those between modules.
As we try to enable packaging EJBs in
web module, it's also an option to add component scope to web
module so each EJB has its own scope. I'm not sure that we need to
add this for servlet components either.
Even though there are multiple scopes,
you don't need to find out exactly where the entries are defined.
General scope rule will be applied here. When you looking up with
or refering to it via injection,
this will try to find the narrow scope first (component scope ->
module scope -> application scope).
I would like to hear from you about
- Do we need the module scope in EJB module?
- Do we need to introduce the application scope?
- Do we also need the component scope in Web module?
Please give us any use cases or reasons
if you have. Your feedbacks are important to add these extensions to
Java EE 6.

[Answers]1. On the contrary, application and module scopes makes it easy to share common entries/references regardless of where the code is being called. Current EJB component scope has this problem - if an interceptor is attached to EJBs the interceptor need to know which component is being called, or people should fill those references in all EJBs.
2. This is different from JSR 299. Web Beans defines the scope of component instance, but this defines simple type entries, resource references, EJB references in the JNDI tree. This releases the need to duplicate such entries in each EJB or each module.

MOSCOW — Russia's new defense minister fired its top military doctor after at least four soldiers died of pneumonia over the last two months, Russian news agencies reported on Monday.
Russian media said Vyacheslav Novikov, head of the army medical directorate, was dismissed because he failed to implement reforms on time and because of the poor state of health among Russia's soldiers.
"Colonel Vyacheslav Novikov was released from his post as acting head of the chief military medical directorate on an order of Russian Defense Minister General Sergei Shoigu," RIA quoted a ministry statement as saying.
Shoigu replaced Anatoly Serdyukov in November atop the defense ministry and has reshuffled the top brass to consolidate his influence in the military, known for the dismal conditions soldiers serve under.
Itar Tass news agency on Saturday cited a preliminary report by the country's military prosecutor's office as saying that the four soldiers who died of both viral and bacterial pneumonia received proper care while in the military.
The military prosecutor's office, however, said a number of other violations caused their deaths, without giving details.
Russia has been struggling for years to reform its armed forces, which have been dogged by low morale and poor living conditions since the 1991 collapse of the Soviet Union.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has tried to reinvigorate the military's spirit and refurbish its rusting armaments, promising an injection of 21 trillion rubles ($691 billion) into the armed forces by the end of the decade.

US 7162854 B2 Abstract An implement, such as a header for a combine, having an integral transport system with a pair of ground engaging wheels that are moved between transport positions used in transporting the implement and stowed positions on the implement during use of the implement. The wheels may be used as gauge wheels during use to support the ends of the implement. A trailer tongue is retractable and stowed onboard the implement during use, as is a tongue jack. Lights are provided at the end of the implement for visibility during transport. The lights are stowed beneath a cover on the end of the implement to protect the lights from damage during use. All components of the transport system are carried on the implement during use to ensure that they are with the implement when needed to transport the implement. All components are mounted with pins, enabling the implement to be converted between transport and use configurations without the use of hand tools.
Claims(8) 1. A header for attachment to a harvester comprising a main frame having opposite ends and a pair of light bars attached to one of the ends, the light bars having transport positions in which one bar extends forward and the other bar extends rearward from the main frame to identify the width of the header during transport and the bars having stowed positions in which the bars do not extend from the end of the main frame.

6. A header for attachment to a harvester comprising a main frame having opposite ends and at least one light bar mounted to the main frame at one end thereof, the light bar having transport position in which the light bar extends from the main frame in the direction of travel of the harvester to identify the width of the header during lengthwise transport and wherein the light bar has a stowed position in which the light bar does not extend from the main frame.
7. The header as defined by
8. The header as defined by
Description This application is a divisional application of application Ser. No. 09/321,816, filed May 28, 1999 now U.S. Pat. No. 6,209,297. 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an implement, such as header for a combine, that includes an integral transport system to enable the implement to be pulled lengthwise for transport of the implement, and in particular to an implement in which the transport system components are carried onboard the implement when the implement is used in the field. 2. Description of Related Art To increase harvesting efficiency, harvesters, such as combines, have increased in size and capacity over the years. With this increase in capacity, the detachable header used for picking the crop has increased in width as well. A wider header increases efficiency by reducing the number of passes through the field required by the harvester to cover the entire field. However, the increased width of the header has resulted in transportation difficulties in moving the combine and header from field to field. With a wide header on a combine, it can be difficult to drive the combine on roads, and difficult or even impossible to cross narrow bridges. Vehicle width limitations on public roads may preclude transporting wide headers on the front of a combine. One solution for the transport problems created by a wide header is to place the header on a trailer and pull the header in a lengthwise direction. This solution has the disadvantage of the added cost and upkeep of the trailer. Another problem is that harvesting may begin at one location in the field with the trailer left there, while the harvesting is completed at another location, or even another field several miles from the trailer. Another solution for the transport problems created by a wider header is to equip the header with towing equipment, such as wheels and a tongue, enabling the header to be pulled lengthwise on its own wheels for transport. This eliminates the need for a separate trailer. Many such headers have components that are removed from the header and left in the field when harvesting begins. As with a trailer, these components may be several miles away from the combine when they are again needed. Some headers have been equipped with onboard towing equipment, but it is often difficult to change the header between the transport and harvesting configurations. Other headers fold, either upward or forward, to reduce the header width for transport. It is an object of the present invention to provide an integral transport system for a combine header in which all components of the transport system are carried onboard the header when the header is configured for harvesting. It is a feature of the present invention that the header can be reconfigured from harvesting to transport and vice versa quickly and easily, without the use of hand tools. It is a further feature of the present invention that the two wheels used for towing the header can also be utilized as gauge wheels for the header during harvesting. The integral transport system of the present invention provides one ground-engaging wheel for towing the header on the rear side of the header coupled to the header frame. A second ground-engaging wheel is mounted to a swing arm that extends downwardly and forwardly from the frame, on the front side of the header beneath the cutterbar. A brace extends downwardly from the frame immediately beneath the cutterbar to hold the swing arm in the transport position. The brace is removably attached to the frame front cross member at the cutterbar. The brace is released from the frame front cross member to enable the swing arm to be rotated to the rear of the header in a stowed position for harvesting. The brace is then attached to the rear of the header frame to hold the swing arm up against the bottom of the header. For those headers wide enough to require gauge wheels, the two ground engaging wheels are mounted to the header and aligned in the combine travel direction to function as gauge wheels. For those headers that are not equipped with gauge wheels, mounting brackets are provided on the rear of the header to carry the wheels during harvesting. A trailer tongue is retractably stored along the bottom of the header. The tongue can be extended from one end of the header and locked in place by pins for transport. A tongue jack is removably attached to the tongue to support the extended tongue above the ground. The jack is removed from the tongue for harvesting and mounted to a bracket on the rear of the header. The end of the header opposite from the trailer tongue is equipped with a pair of light bars. The light bars have a stowed position within an end sheet cover, where the lights are protected from damage during harvesting. The end sheet cover is removed to access the light bars and to move the light bars to transport positions in which they extend from the header to indicate the full width of the header during transport. In addition, a slow moving vehicle sign is rotated from a stowed position beneath the end sheet cover to a visible transport position. The end sheet cover is then reinstalled for transport. All of the moving components of the transport system are locked in place by retaining pins, enabling the header to be converted between transport and harvesting configurations without the need for hand tools to manipulate fasteners. With reference to The interior support arms 20, 21, 22, 23 of the main frame include an upright rear portion 32 behind the rear wall 26 and a bottom portion 34 extending forward from the lower end of the upright rear portion 32 to the front cross member 25. The rear wall 26 includes an opening 36 for receiving cut crop material to move this material rearwardly into the feederhouse of a conventional combine (not shown). An attachment frame 38 is used to mount the header to a combine feederhouse. The attachment frame 38 includes forward extending leaf springs 40, only one of which is shown, that are attached to the bottom portion of two of the support arms 21, 22, to provide a suspension between the main frame 12 and the attachment frame 38. A turnbuckle 42 couples the upper beam 18 of the main frame to the attachment frame 38. The attachment frame 38 is rigidly coupled to the combine feederhouse in a conventional manner. Because of the width of the header 10, the header is provided with a transport system to enable the header 10 to be towed in a lengthwise direction. The transport system includes a pair of ground engaging tire and wheel assemblies, each including an inflatable tire 56 and a metal wheel 58 ( With reference to In the transport position shown in The sleeve 72 is welded to the end of a swing arm 84. The swing arm 84 is coupled to the bottom portion 34 of the support arm 22. The swing arm is mounted on a pivot pin 86, held in place by a retaining pin 88. The swing arm 84 is rotatable about the axis 90 of the pivot pin 86. The axis 90 extends transverse to the direction of header travel during harvesting. In the transport position, the swing arm 84 extends downwardly and forward from the pivot pin 86. The swing arm is maintained in this position by a brace 94. The brace 94 is removably attached to the front cross member 25 by a pair of mounting pins 96 biased by springs 98. The pins 96 extend through apertures in flanges 100 welded to the front cross member 25. The mounting pins 96 can be retained in positions withdrawn from the flanges 100 by cross pins 102 that retain the springs 98. These cross pins are seated against blocks 104 cast into the end of the brace 94 to hold the mounting pins 96 in retracted positions as shown in In the preferred embodiment, the swing arm 84 is a weldment constructed of tube sections welded together at the joint 112. The brace 94 is an iron casting. Secondary flanges 114 extend from the end 106 of the brace 94 and are positioned on opposite ends of the tube 78 that is welded to the spindle receiver 70. A pivot bolt 116 extends through the flanges 114 and the tube 78 and is retained by a nut 118. The header is converted from transport to harvesting configurations by first raising the header and removing the wheel 52. The wheel 52 is removed by withdrawing the pin 80, enabling the spindle 66 to be withdrawn from the spindle receiver 70. With the wheel 52 removed, the upper end of the brace 94 is uncoupled from the front cross member 25. This enables the swing arm 84 to rotate about the pivot pin 86 downward and rearward such that it extends rearward from the pin 86 along the bottom portion 34 of the support arm 20. The pin 110 that couples the brace end 106 to the swing arm is removed from the brace 94 and swing arm 84. The brace 94 is rotated about the pivot bolt 116 in the tube 78 to withdraw the flanges 108 from the opposite sides of the swing arm 84. Once the flanges 108 have cleared the swing arm, the brace 94 and the spindle receiver 70 are rotated about the axis 122 of the sleeve 72 as shown by the arrow 120 in The rear wheel 50 is mounted to a wheel hub 64 and spindle 66 as described above in connection with the wheel 52. The wheel 50 is mounted to a spindle receiver 115 ( When the wheels 50 and 52 are removed from their transport positions, they are mounted to the upper beam 18 in a storage position (not shown) or used as gauge wheels as follows. For use as gauge wheels, the wheels 50, 52 are pivot carried by the support arms 20 and 23 to support the ends of the header during harvesting. With reference to Whether the wheels 50, 52 are carried on the upper beam 18 or used as gauge wheels during harvesting, the wheels remain with the header, and are thereby available when the harvesting is completed and it is again necessary to transport the header 10. The header also includes a retractable trailer tongue 54 for towing the header in a lengthwise direction. The tongue 54 is carried by the main frame for movement between a retracted, stowed position shown in The cradle 140 is in turn mounted to a pivot arm 150 formed by spaced plates 152 positioned outside the plates 142 of the cradle 140. The pivot arm 150 is pivotally mounted to the support arm 19 by a pin 154 shown in The tongue 54 has an abutment plate 166 that extends downward below the lower surface of the tongue. When the tongue is slid to the retracted, stowed position, the plate 166 engages the pin 146, causing the pivot arm 150 to rotate inwardly and upwardly to raise the tongue 54. When the aperture 158 in the pivot arm and the aperture 164 in the tongue are aligned, the pin 162 is inserted therethrough to retain the tongue 54 in the retracted, stowed position. In this raised position, the tongue 54 is held against the bottom portions 34 of the support arms 19, 20. The tongue 54 is shown in an extended towing position in Pins 192, 194 ( With reference once again to The light bar 212 is similarly mounted to a post 230. The light bar 212 is removed from the post 230 and remounted to a second post 232 such that the bar 212 is stowed adjacent to the light bar 210 and on a stop 238. The light bar 212 is retained in place on the posts by a spring locking pin 240. The slow moving vehicle sign 234 is also rotated downward over the two light bars 210, 212 without the use of hand tools. The cover 218 is then returned to a position covering the light bars and the slow moving vehicle sign during harvesting. The cover 218 protects the lights from damage during harvesting. The light bars are electrically connected through a wiring harness 236 that extends the length of the header 10 and is coupled to a towing vehicle to provide electrical power to the lights in a known manner. The components of the transport system of the present invention are completely stored on board the header when the header is harvesting. The header can be converted between transport and harvesting configurations without the use of hand tools. The swing arm 84 and brace 94 are the only wheel supporting members that need to be moved between transport and harvest positions, resulting in a header that has a minimal number of components to be moved and reconfigured between transport and harvesting configurations. The transport system of the present invention has been described and shown in the context of a header for a combine. The transport system can, however, be used in other implements that have a great width during field use. Planters and tillage implements are two examples of wide implements for which special provisions are needed for transport of the implement on a road. The integral transport system of the present invention can be integrated into these, and other implements, without departing from the scope of the present invention. The invention should not be limited to the above-described embodiment, but should be limited solely by the claims that follow. Patent Citations
