Wow. It has been seven fights and almost four years, stemming back to Matt Veach at the TUF 10 Finale in 2009, since "The Answer" has fought in a standard three-round fight with no championship gold on the line. But those circumstances will govern the Frankie Edgar vs. Charles Oliveira match on the main card of this Saturday's UFC 162 blockbuster from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. The bout is one of five slated for the pay-per-view card, which is headlined by Anderson Silva vs. Chris Weidman and begins at 10:00 p.m. ET after the preliminary cards run through on Facebook and FX.
Just like the consensus opinion of fans and bettors, my first inclination was that Frankie Edgar (15-4-1) will roll through the talented but inconsistent Charles Oliveira (16-3). And why wouldn't he, just based on the intro about Edgar's unreal succession of title defenses and challenges at both lightweight and featherweight? Additionally, Edgar is ruggedly durable, coldly calculating and admirably intelligent, and Oliveira is known just as much for his sketchy Fight I.Q. and hot-and-cold performances as he is for his electrically effective combination of Muay Thai and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
But a few realizations have cast this match up in a slightly different light.
Edgar has never encountered an opponent as tall as Oliveira at 5'10", nor one with a spidery reach of 73". Along with that factual note, I'd subjectively hazard that the only adversary Edgar's faced with striking as dynamic, explosive, and blindingly fast as Oliveira's is featherweight champion Jose Aldo. Of course, I'm not putting Aldo and "Do Bronx" on equal footing but their striking venom and overall styles are definitely comparable, and Oliveira still has three more inches of height and reach than Aldo. And absolutely nothing to lose.
Yes ... I realize you're not dumping your piggy bank on the underdog as a result of that last paragraph, but hopefully it's a decent and semi-intriguing start.
After hearing the official news last year, I opined that Edgar's decision to drop to featherweight might be a mistake. That conclusion was based mostly on the way Edgar's quickness -- with his hands, feet and confusing motion in general -- wouldn't stand out as much against the faster-paced featherweights. And, really, the myriad advantages of his cryptic attack patterns and knifing footwork are what distinguishes Edgar as a top-level fighter and are largely responsible for his success. Therefore, it's logical to surmise that a quickness and motion-based puzzle won't be as difficult to solve for a fighter with equal or greater speed.
The end result of Edgar's dazzling movement is the ability to dictate key factors like range and pace. With the note about the effect of Oliveira's quickness being made, the Brazilian's exceptional height and length should also take a bite out of Edgar's frustrating command of range. Another salient advantage of Edgar's range game is his takedown ability -- after he's cut a minute's worth of backward and elusive angles, he'll change gears, lower his level and spring forward for a deep double leg. Oliveira's guard game is vastly more complex and effective than the bulk of Edgar's past opponents, and the 23-year-old phenom is fearless in generating technical offense from his back.
Not since B.J. Penn has Edgar had to think twice about the perils of succeeding with a takedown, but he should here, as Oliveira's guard is active enough to put the top-player in defensive mode in order to stave off an endless and frenetic chain of sweep and submission attempts. Extra length shakes out as extra leverage in the grappling aspect too.
Oliveira's unpredictability has been a compliment and a curse. That tendency could unfold in a ballsy risk that costs him the fight or uncorking something deadly that Edgar doesn't expect or see coming. Frankie's movement is paralyzing because he seems to be in several different spots at once. Everything is set up with a feint or a decoy angle, and that process often repeats two or three more times before Edgar is actually in hittable range. The downside of that type of erratic movement is that it somewhat increases your chances of eating an errant strike; it's not unlike how hooks or roundhouse kicks, due to the sweeping arc of their trajectory, have a better chance of catching an opponent with busy head movement than straight punches do, which travel forward and back on one reciprocating plane.
Even though I casually quipped that Oliveira has nothing to lose above, that state of mind can be unexpectedly empowering. He's been considered phenom-ish with loads of future potential since his first UFC outing. There's no question that he needs to mold himself into a more calculating, consistent and effectively technical fighter, so I don't think anyone believes he can beat one of the most calculating, consistent and technical fighters alive at his own game.
I feel this is a rare opportunity for Oliveira. No one expects him to win nor match Edgar's unfailing composure and high-level experience. If I were Oliveira, I'd draw from the limitless wealth of raw talent and let the guns blaze with unwavering confidence. It hasn't been often, but we have seen Edgar rocked by strikes or falter, albeit briefly, under relentless waves of swarming pressure.
Since I've really dug deep in making a case for Oliveira, or making his chances seem more viable, there's no reason to hold back the flimsiest one: match ups that would appear to yield an obvious winner are often the ones that bite us in the ass. I'm sure we can all recall a dramatic upset that was initially written off as a gimme for the favorite, and that memory is strengthened by wondering, in retrospect, how we could have overlooked the underdog so severely. Part of Edgar's well deserved mystique is how consistently he's performed throughout his career, and that's rare because everyone eventually has an off-night or uncharacteristic loss.
Could Saturday be that night for Edgar? Yes, it could.
I'd be happy if just a few of you revisited your line of thinking on this match up and reconsidered some of the under-pronounced variables. We've seen what Edgar has to offer, and I think it's fair to assume that Oliveira has the better chance to show significant improvement in every fight, and there's no question that the kid's instincts and god-given potential are truly remarkable.
Though I'd suggest that the chance-bettors or those who get off on low-risk/high-reward wagers to give Oliveira a glance here (like wagering ten bones to win fifty), I spent this entire article on behalf of Oliveira because the advantages for Edgar are so numerous and substantial. I am, however, quite open to the possibility of an upset and expect a much closer fight than most. This is close to a lose/lose for Frankie and a great opportunity for Oliveira to rejuvenate his status as a potential future contender or champion, which he can even accomplish with a valiant showing in defeat.
My Prediction: Frankie Edgar by decision.

Jimmie Johnson had a sizable late lead cut down by a caution and a green-white-checkered finish, but was still able to outlast the other frontrunners on Saturday night to win the Southern 500 at Darlington. The victory is Johnson's first NASCAR Sprint Cup win of the year.
Johnson took the lead on Lap 324 and never relinquished it, holding on through the final lap of the race on Lap 368. Fuel was a concern for everyone at the end of the race, but Johnson managed his fuel situation well and had no problem out-pacing Tony Stewart and Denny Hamlin for the victory. A crash involving Kurt Busch and Ryan Newman brought out a yellow flag on Lap 361, eliminating the advantage that Johnson had built up, but he opened it up again on the restart.
The victory was the 200th in NASCAR's top series for car owner Rick Hendrick, and it takes Johnson to fifth place in the Sprint Cup standings.

Police search for owners of silverware
10:10am Wednesday 21st November 2012 in News By Hannah White
POLICE in Salisbury are trying to locate the owners of a number of items which are believed to have been stolen.
A large amount of silverware, jewellery boxes and a distinctive Queen Victoria medal fob were recovered from a property in Salisbury following the arrest of a 29-year-old local woman.
She was arrested on suspicion of fraud and released on bail pending further inquiries. There are believed to be a number of victims and a full gallery of the items will be available at wiltshire.police.uk.
DC Dave Ridler said: "The nature of the items suggests that they may belong to elderly people or are perhaps family heirlooms and I would encourage people to check they don't have any missing at home.
"I would also like to hear from anyone who has any information that could assist my investigation."
Anyone with information is asked to contact DC Ridler at Salisbury CID on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.

Michael Vick's injury was shrouded in a bit of secrecy after he left the field abruptly in the third quarter of the Philadelphia Eagles' matchup with the Atlanta Falcons. We weren't sure what, exactly, was ailing him, but it didn't look good. Vick was seen spitting up blood on the sidelines, and generally looked dazed before heading to the locker room.
Though the initial reports said Vick had a neck injury, Eagles head coach Andy Reid told reporters it was a concussion that knocked his star quarterback out of the game. Vick never did return from the locker room, where he was reportedly undergoing further tests.
While a concussion is never good, and can be a tricky injury, it is better news than a possible neck injury. It's unknown how long Vick will be out, and the timetable will depend on when he passes his concussion tests, administered by the training staff to diagnose whether a player is over their symptoms.
For more on this game, check out our Eagles blog Bleeding Green Nation and our Falcons blog The Falcoholic. To catch up on NFL Week 2's action, visit our StoryStream.

What Would Google Do? LP (Paperback)
This Book Is Not Sold Online - In Store Special Order Only
Special Order - Subject to Availability
A bold and vital book that asks and answers the most urgent question of today: What Would Google Do?
In a book that's one part prophecy, one part thought experiment, one part manifesto, and one part survival manual, internet impresario and blogging pioneer Jeff Jarvis reverse-engineers Google—the fastest-growing company in history—to discover forty clear and straightforward rules to manage and live by. At the same time, he illuminates the new worldview of the internet generation: how it challenges and destroys, but also opens up vast new opportunities. His findings are counterintuitive, imaginative, practical, and above all visionary, giving readers a glimpse of how everyone and everything—from corporations to governments, nations to individuals—must evolve in the Google era.
Along the way, he looks under the hood of a car designed by its drivers, ponders a worldwide university where the students design their curriculum, envisions an airline fueled by a social network, imagines the open-source restaurant, and examines a series of industries and institutions that will soon benefit from this book's central question.
The result is an astonishing, mind-opening book that, in the end, is not about Google. It's about you.

Praise for What Would Google Do? LP…
"Google is not just a company, it is an entirely new way of thinking about understanding who we are and what we want. Jarvis has done something really important: extend that approach to business and culture, revealing just how revolutionary it is."
-Chris Anderson, Author of The Long TailChris Anderson, author of The Long Tail
"What Would Google Do? is an exceptional book that captures the massive changes the internet is effecting in our culture, in marketing, and in advertising."
-Craig Newmark, Founder of craigslist
"Jeff Jarvis has written an indispensable guide to the business logic of the networked era, because he sees the opportunities in giving the people control, and understands the risks in letting your competitors get there first."
-Clay Shirky, Author of Here Comes Everybody
"Jeff Jarvis's What Would Google Do? is a divining rod for anyone looking for ways to hit real paydirt in the new territory of Web 2.0 marketing. Jarvis has a sharp eye for what is relevant, real, and actionable. Isn't that what we all need today?"
-Marc Benioff, Chairman and CEO, salesforce.com
"Most of Jarvis's points—about customer influence, user-driven innovation, the death of middlemen—are by now axiomatic. And yet he manages to make the revolution feel newly revolutionary. . . . the book exudes credibility."
"[Jarvis's] bold thinking and prodigious faith results in a rollicking sermon on reinvention and reinvigoration."
-Miami Herald
"[Jarvis] is an intelligent observer of technology and the media and has intellectual scruples.... [T]here are lessons to be learnt from Google and its single-minded determination to change how business is done."
-Financial Times
"Jarvis, proprietor of the influential media blog BuzzMachine, gleans maxims from Google's successful strategies that occasionally sound like doublespeak (Free is a business model! Abundance is the new scarcity! Correcting yourself enhances credibility!). But they boil down to practical suggestions."
-Time magazine
"Blogger/columnist Jeff Jarvis's treatise on how—and why—companies should think and act like Google brings to mind several trite words from the world of literary criticism: eye-opening, thought-provoking and enlightening."
-USA Today
"[Jarvis's] observations are worth reading....We're never going to unplug the Internet, so read this book with the long view in mind. Mr. Jarvis's rules don't all apply to you, but they're all true enough for someone"
-Wall Street Journal
"For those who haven't thought much about how radically, rapidly and irreversibly the Internet has empowered us and changed our culture, "What Would Google Do?" by Jeff Jarvis will be revelatory. It is a stimulating exercise in thinking really, really big. "

Get bird-friendly garden tips
Sialia mexicana
IUCN Conservation Status: Least Concern
Jamie Chavez
In open parklands of the American West, brilliant blue-and-rust Western Bluebirds sit on low perches and swoop lightly to the ground to catch insects. Deep blue, rusty, and white, males are considerably brighter than the gray-brown, blue-tinged females. This small thrush nests in holes in trees or nest boxes and often gathers in small flocks to feed on insects or berries, giving their quiet, chortling calls. You can help out Western Bluebirds by placing nest boxes in your yard or park.
Western Bluebirds are small thrushes that usually perch upright. They are stocky with thin, straight bills and fairly short tails.
Male Western Bluebirds are shiny blue above with rust-orange extending from a vest on the breast onto the upper back. Females are gray-buff with a pale orange wash on the breast and blue tints to the wings and tail. The throat is blue in males and gray-buff in females, and the lower belly is whitish.
These birds are highly social, and usually feed in flocks during the non-breeding season. They hunt for terrestrial insects by dropping to the ground from a low perch. Western Bluebirds also frequently feed on berries in trees. Western Bluebirds rely on trees both for nesting cavities and hunting perches, and also perch on fences and utility lines.
Look for Western Bluebirds in open woodland, both coniferous and deciduous. They also live in backyards, burned areas, and farmland, from sea level far up into the mountains.
Mountain Bluebird males are a lighter sky-blue above and below. Females are grayer overall, and usually show less rust on the breast than Western Bluebird. Eastern Bluebirds have only a small range overlap with Western Bluebird. In the eastern species, the throat is rusty-orange (males) or white (females), the belly is crisp white, and the back in males is entirely blue. Male Lazuli Buntings are considerably smaller than Western Bluebirds, with thick, seed-eating bills and prominent white wingbars. Though blue, Western Scrub-Jays and Steller's Jay are much larger, noisier birds with longer tails, heavier bills, and without any rusty coloration.
Western Bluebirds are mainly insectivorous in the summer and they can be attracted to feeders if you offer mealworms. (More on mealworms at our Attract Birds section). You can also invite bluebirds to a partially wooded yard by putting up nest boxes. Our NestWatch project has lots of free information about how to choose, build, and maintain nest boxes.
Look for Western Bluebirds on low perches in woodlands and woodland edges. Also scan for them sitting atop nest boxes or fenceposts in summer. Their habit of dropping suddenly to the ground after insects can be recognizable even out of the corner of your eye. Their quiet, inquisitive call notes are easy to overlook, but distinctive once learned.

METAIRIE, La. — It's rare to hear a coach say anything bad about a player who plies his trade for an upcoming opponent.
It's even rarer to find a coach come across as being serious in his compliments of that player.
But this week, when asked about Tony Romo, Saints defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo couldn't stop talking positively about the Cowboys quarterback.
And it sounded like he truly meant every word of it.
"This guy, in my opinion, is one of the toughest quarterbacks to defend against and to game-plan against," Spagnuolo said, later adding, "He puts his team in good plays, takes them out of bad plays and puts them in good ones. He is really smart and I think part of the fact that he has gone up against us enough he might have an upper hand."
Romo has thrown for 4,269 yards, 22 touchdowns and 16 interceptions this season. His 90.2 rating is 11th-best in the NFL and his 379 completions lead the league.
Since 2006, only five quarterbacks have averaged more yards per game than Romo and he's one only six players to have thrown for 4,000-plus yards in at least four of the past seven seasons.
Historically, he has gotten better as the game moves along. Of his Dallas-record 171 touchdown passes, 53 have come in the fourth quarter, more than any other 15-minute period.
Yet, it's not what Romo can do with his arm that has the Saints watching extra film. It's his ability to scramble and keep a play alive that has New Orleans paying extra special attention to Dallas' quarterback.
"Once he breaks the pocket you have to understand what their scramble pattern is now," interim Saints head coach and linebackers coach Joe Vitt said. "Is the front side receiver coming back for the ball? Is the backside receiver going deep? And what is the middle receiver doing? That is something, number one, that you are going to work as hard as you can not to let him out of the pocket and to know exactly where he is going and know exactly where his escape lanes are.
"And then once he does break the pocket you have got to get a defender on him and make sure you are defending the scramble pattern down the field."
In Dallas' weekly game notes, there are 19 categories devoted to Romo's passing accomplishments. There are none breaking down his ability to keep a play going or his ability to run.
Since 2006, however, only eight traditional drop-back quarterbacks have rushed for more than Romo's 510 yards.
"With him, I don't feel like people give him enough credit for how mobile he is," Saints middle linebacker Curtis Lofton said. "When you think of mobile quarterbacks, you think of Michael Vick and RG III, all those guys. But he's very mobile and makes things happen with his feet. He's not throwing rockets and he's not flashy with it, but he gets the ball to the guys so they can make plays."

Maven: great idea, poor implementation (Part 3)
In the first post in this series, I explained why I think Maven Maven is a good idea. Most projects need pretty much the same thing from a build system, but using Ant normally results in complex, non-standard build system which becomes a headache to maintain.
In theory, Maven should be a better way to run a build. By offering a standardised build out of the box, you would massively reduce the setup and learning curve for new joiners to the development team and take advantage of a healthy ecosystem of plugins that can be simply dropped into your build, and save loads of setup and maintenance hassle.
Although its goes pretty far towards the first two of these advantages, in my second post I described how Maven's configuration is too complex even for simple things.
I note that the Maven site doesn't currently mention "convention over configuration", although I'm sure it used to in the past, and there are plenty of references to it around the web. The Wikipedia entry for convention over configuration lists Maven as a poster-child, and Sonatype, the commercial company supporting Maven, names a chapter of their reference book named after the concept.
But it's a load of bollocks.
My final point (for this series, anyway) is on flexibility. The tradeoff between configuration complexity is normally flexibility. This is certainly the case with Ant; the complexity which makes every Ant-based build system a painfully unique snowflake buys you the capability to do damn near anything you want with it.
But Maven's complexity does not buy us flexibility.
My team wants to divide up its testing into multiple phases, following the "Agile testing pyramid" concept as mentioned by Mike Cohn.
So we'd like to have four layers to our pyramid, unit tests running first; database integration tests running next; web service tests third; and only if all of these pass do we run web UI tests. These test groups run in order of increasing heaviness, so we get feedback on the simple stuff quickly.
Maven supports two levels of testing, unit tests and integration tests. The failsafe plugin which provides integration testing support seems fairly new, and is actually pretty good if you only need one phase of integration testing. It lets you configure setup and teardown activities, so you can fire up an app server before running tests, and make sure it gets shut down afterwards.
If we could get failsafe to run three times during the build, each time carrying out different setup and teardown activities, and running different groups of tests, my team would be fairly happy with Maven.
It is possible to use build profiles to set up different integration tests in this way, but to get them to run, you need to run the build three times, and each time the preceding steps will be re-run - compiling, unit tests, packaging, etc. So it's kind of nasty, brutish, and too long.
The right way to achieve what we're after is probably to customise the build lifecycle, or create a new build lifecyle. Either way, it involves creating custom plugins, or extensions, or both. I've taken a stab at working out how, but after burning a couple of evenings without getting anywhere, I've shelved it.
I have no doubt it can be done, but it's just easier to do it in Ant and move on to other tasks. And that's pretty much the bottom line for me. I still like the idea of Maven, I have hopes it will continue to improve (it's a thousand times more usable than it was a few years ago), and maybe even go through a shift to embrace convention over configuration for real.
In the meantime, I'm likely to reach for Maven when I need something quickly for a project that seems likely to fit its paradigm, but for heavier projects (most of the ones I'm involved with for client projects), Ant is the pragmatic choice.Part 1 and Part 2 are here.

This mirrors my experience exactly. As a tech lead, I get to maintain builds of projects I inherited. Invariably these builds are flaky in multiple ways:
1) copy paste reuse. Rather than figuring out how stuff works, people copy snippets all over the place. This leads to incorrect behavior, redundancy, and sometimes it actually works. The root cause for this is that maven is too hard for most developers and copy paste reuse apparently gets the job done for most.
2) dependency mismanagement. Both plugin versions and dependency versions tend to be copied all over the place as well. As maven evolves, your build becomes more and more obsolete. Maven is all about the illusion of dependency management without actually providing it. Yes, you do have the means to fix it but that is so hard that I've seen few people bother besides myself. In reality, there is little advantage over having a directory of stuff that needs to be on the classpath with a simple wild card. In both cases you end up with obsolete/unneeded/potentially harmful dependencies.
3) Repetitive to the point where it drives me nuts. It seems that unless I add shitload of crap to my command lines, maven does the wrong things by default: download the world (again), re-compile already compiled code, re-run tests that ran just fine on source code that hasn't changed, etc. Maven is a huge timewaster. Compare how fast your IDE does things (maven integration disabled) to how long you have to wait for stuff to compile manually.
4) A lot of plugins people depend on come with their own conventions for configuring and plenty of weirdness. All of this is magnified by documentation that is hard to read, poorly structured and doesn't cover the less trivial aspects. On top of that, there seem to be multiple plugins for the same job: it seems people can't agree on either conventions or how to do stuff. Choice is fine, but it adds a lot of complexity.
Andrew Spencer replied on Mon, 2012/01/09 - 6:58am in response to: Jilles Van Gurp
I sympathise with the problems of bad POM authorship, especially copy-paste and dodgy dependencies. This is partly laziness on the part of developers and I think it's unfair to blame it all on Maven (I mean, I've seen plenty of bad Java code, but that doesn't mean I shouldn't code in Java myself) .
The dependency mess, though, is also caused by bad practices by library providers who often don't take care declaring their own dependencies. The plugin configuration mess... well, it's mostly a lack of standardisation, but I'm not sure how it can be improved given that most of these plugins are not produced by the Maven project itself. And the verbosity, that's entirely Maven's responsibility.
What I'm interested in learning is, what would a build tool look like that kept the good points of Maven, but improved on the bad ones?
Erwin Mueller replied on Mon, 2012/01/09 - 7:32am
I think you exaggerate things a lot. The "bloat" is not really confusing, it's XML, you can quickly skip over the not relevant tags. The locking of the plugin versions is a good thing, so that way your build will not break.
If you are using maven right, i.e. make use of parent poms and dependency management, it's very simple actually. I have a global parent pom where I manage all the versions of plugins and libraries, it's 512 lines long.Than I have more specialized global poms, for example for a Groovy build. All in one place and good tested, so the actual project pom file is very minimal.
For example, a project that will compile, test and build an application with an installer, deploy it to various servers, etc. contains only a few lines of XML. Because with maven I can use parent pom, so I can put everything there and don't have to write it every time for each project.
For a cooperate environment Maven should be very good. Just declare all used libraries and plugins in a global parent pom and let each project inherit the configuration. That way, you have all the configuration in one place and all the developers can follow the cooperate policy.
John Dobie replied on Mon, 2012/01/09 - 7:34am
I totally agree about Maven needing support for multiple phases, especially when you have continuous builds.
You can work around it like this.
But you shouldn't have to. Hopefully this will be fixed soon.
Nice articles.
Mileta Cekovic replied on Mon, 2012/01/09 - 9:28am
That is exactly why we use Maven only for commit builds and ad-hoc analysis/reports:
- Pull the source from source control
- Generate sources, compile, compile unit tests, run unit tests
- Create artefacts, install in the remote repository
- Create docs, analysis, reports, etc with add-hoc goals still using Maven (this is actually better done by Maven then Ant)
- THE END OF MAVEN BUILD, PLEASE SWITCH TO ANT (with Maven Ant tasks :)) !
- Do component tests
- Deploy to integration environment, do integration tests
- Deploy to additional environment, do acceptane and/or performance tests
- Etc...
This seems to get the best of both tools, unless Maven build phases are made more scriptable and controlable.

Interesting post. Personally, I've seen plenty of successful projects that have adopted Maven, saved tons of time and reduced build complexity. It's by no means perfect but for me compared to hand-cranking bespoke build scripts its a no-brainer.
I'm confused about your assertion that Maven doesn't embrace convention over configuration (you put it a bit stronger than that!)
As you've pointed out, it dictates conventions on project folder structure, default behaviour in defined build phases, component management and versioning. I fail to see how this is not promoting convention over configuration. Obviously there will be some projects that fit the mould better than others: those not so well suited will require more configuration, those badly suited shouldn't use it. Its not "convention instead of configuration" - as with most things, if it ticks most your boxes you follow the convention then configure as required.
There are ways around your problem, but your answer appears to be to configure everything using Ant, which stipulates almost no conventions whatsoever. Maven is extensible - suggest writing a plugin/extension yourself for what you want to achieve, rather than hand-cranking. This will obviously require an investment in time to learn how to do it. And this of course is the price of CoC - its only really effective if the convention in question matches your requirements.
Jilles Van Gurp replied on Mon, 2012/01/09 - 1:57pm in response to: Andrew Spencer
The reason I blame it on Maven, at least partially, is because it is a fairly consistent pattern of abuse. Even when it works properly, you still end up with tons of xml few people fully grasp. It's a problem inherent to the design and complexity of maven.
I don't buy the argument of "if everybody else would do the right thing than maven would be fine". The whole problem is that they won't and never will. This is not a perfect world. Technology that assumes it is (aka the closed world assumption) is inherently as broken as the assumption.
In my view an improvement would be to simplify the dependency management and restrict it to the actual software you are building. Managing build plugin dependencies is a bad idea. As for software dependencies, this needs to be centralized: especially for multi module projects (aka non trivial projects that actually require a build tool). Ant has a much more sane approach of stuff that comes with ant (which carries the same version and has been through the same QA process) and stuff that developers add to and by means of putting it on the classpath.Then, configuration needs to be optional. That means in my book that a standard java program should just compile, build, test, jar, deploy, etc without a build file. Comply with the conventions: you don't need to do anything. Also, conventions need to be shareable between projects. A lack of a usable and understandable ability to share is what leads people to copy and paste. Using inheritance for this was always a bad idea.
Finally, almost no project ends up being a standard one. Scripting non standard parts needs to be easy. Sometimes a simple bash script just does the job. Build tools should get out of the way when needed and not put up barriers.
Jack Jackson replied on Mon, 2012/01/09 - 3:54pm
As a long-time Ant user (at least since 2003) working with Maven I usually try to get the best of both worlds by binding a lot of maven-antrun-plugin invocations to the various build phases, as soon as I cannot solve a task in a few minutes of googling. Being it packaging resources with build numbers, skinny jars that should be possible with maven-assembly-plugin but just do not work as they should, or multiple test stages. I know I lose flexibility (like cobertura cannot track my tests) but I can try to fix it when I start using it :D
Yes, it clutters up the buildfile, but still nothing against alone the dependency hackery (either get binaries or source for some of the dependencies) that used to be in my Ant build files :)
Fabrizio Giudici replied on Mon, 2012/01/09 - 4:25pm
Well, splitting a not really long post in three parts doesn't look a good idea... in any case I'm going to comment only here.
Honestly, I'm a bit tired of still reading posts about how Maven is bad and see the very same, old, list of problems that can be fixed by using a couple of good practices, mainly the superpom. Seems that people start using Maven for a few days, doesn't look around enough, and then blog the same things over and over.
Very quickly: "locking the version of a plugin" is not a problem, is instead a good practice, otherwise you can't have repeatable builds. Do you figure it out what happens if you try to rebuild your project from a tagged commit of 6 months ago if in the meantime a number of plugins have been updated? So, you have to explicitly declare the versions of every plugin that you use. Not by chance Maven warns that in future this practice will be mandatory and if we have to criticize it is because they didn't it from the beginning.
Second: every long configuration stuff must go in the superpom, using properties for configurability. To change the Java version in all of my projects I only have to set two properties. I also have complex configurations for Vaadin, Jetty, AspectJ, Android, the NetBeans Platform, whatever, in my superpom and hardly need to have another plugin configuration section in any of my JEE, JSE, Vaadin, Android, NetBeans Platform projects. My customers using my superpom share the same benefits and their POMs are very small as well. All our projects thus share the same structures, conventions, release cycles and so on.
Copypasting a POM? Sure, people not skilled with Maven tend to do that, but in general people not skilled with a technology tend to misuse it. It's the project leader responsibility to explain best practices and teaching them.
Sivaprasadreddy... replied on Tue, 2012/01/10 - 12:28am
Its not the problem with Maven, its very common pattern in IT world.
Whenever a new technology/tool comes in, people starts using it and post their wow movements with that technology and use it to its full extent. After few years we will read "This XXX tool sucks" or "This ABCD tool is a nightmare" kind of posts about the same technology/tool.
You want examples?
Struts: The most successful framework in java and the most criticized framework too after few years.
Spring: Almost all (not everyone) people liked Spring for its simplicity, ease of use, DI, templates etc in the beginning. You can read lotttt of "I Love Spring" kind of articles from Spring fans(including me). Recently people started blaming Spring too. Nowadays you can read "Spring is bloated", "Spring XML sucks", "Moving from Spring to JEE", "Why do we need Spring when JEE6 is there" kind of articles.
Ant: This is the default build tool for java projects. Now people are saying Ant is verbose etc etc. If Ant is not good how come it became default build tool for all java projects.
"I strongly agree that everyone has a right to express their opinions and opinions might change over time".
So I feel that its not the problem with Maven or Ant...Its a trend :-), we will read same kind of articles on Gradle too in near future :-).
Actually its a good thing to happen. People will know about good as well as bad things about the popular tools/frameworks.
Mladen Girazovski replied on Tue, 2012/01/10 - 5:08am
same old same old...
A Developer who has been working with Framework A (Ant in this case) for 10 years has troubles with Framework B (Maven) and prefers Framework A... must be the fault of Framework B, right?
Don't get me wrong, Maven has its quirks and complexity, but it is manageable, i find Maven to be a great tool for building projects, i prefer it always to having to script my builds.
Most of the problems mentioned in the series don't even come up if you stick to best pratices, the others are manageable, one "problem"sounds like the ancient "Attributes vs. Elements" XML debatte.
Andrew Spencer replied on Fri, 2012/01/13 - 9:00am in response to: Jilles Van Gurp
I can't really disagree with what you wrote (except one thing, see below). I am tempted to say, as others have done, "Yes, but you don't get any of these problems if you use Maven properly." But I can't, because it reminds me too much of what defenders of Clearcase say.
The points about managing plugin dependencies, and about the need to make scripting easy, are well taken.
I do think Maven has done more good than harm compared with what there was before. But I also have on my todo list to take a look at Gradle and at SBT.
The one thing I disagree with: a "standard" Java project will build under Maven, not quite without a POM, but at least with a POM containing only its identifiers and a list of dependencies - and I don't know where we can get those from, if not from a build file.
Jilles Van Gurp replied on Wed, 2012/01/18 - 4:56pm
Andrew, standard java for me includes web applications for which you probably want to fire up a app server, run tests against that, etc. I find that that generally requires a lot of copy pasting of e.g. surefire, jetty or cargo setup, and other cruft. Just doing standard stuff like this, you easily end up with a few hundred lines of very verbose but bog standard configuration.
Eclipse: right click, run as web application
Maven: write a few hundred lines of pom file, mvn clean install
Andrew Spencer replied on Mon, 2012/01/23 - 6:38am in response to: Jilles Van Gurp
Hi Jilles,
OK, I was thinking "compile and package" rather than "build". Old habits die hard.
The appropriate way to do it in Maven is to define all that boilerplate in a super POM that can be inherited by every standard java webapp. Then the Maven version is: inherit from super POM, mvn clean install.
So I think your criticism is partly unfair, and partly justified. It's unfair insofar as Java webapps can be done simply with Maven (after all, using a super POM is hardly rocket science).
On the other hand, it's a justified criticism insofar as Maven leaves the developer far too much latitude to do it badly. It's also justified in that Eclipse provides all that functionality off the shelf, whereas Maven doesn't provide a useful mechanism for providing/sharing shrinkwrapped POM configurations (the inheritance mechanism is too unwieldy).

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Special Olympics Kentucky is suing the city of Louisville to stop an ordinance that would take effect in two weeks.
It clamps down on donation collection bins that some say have gotten out of control.
Many of the bins are not maintained, and have become an eyesore.
The new ordinance limits the number of bins and slaps a $300 annual fee on each one.
The CEO of Special Olympics Kentucky, Trish Mazzoni, says that would cost the organization more than $27,000 a year.
She wants a judge to stop the ordinance from taking effect, and for council to re-work it.
Mazzoni says it should make exceptions for legitimate non-profit organizations, and should require that a significant amount of the money made off bins go to charity.

Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette says Michigan policymakers should wait until after the November presidential election before moving forward on some aspects of the federal health care overhaul.Schuette responded Thursday at a news conference to the U.S. Supreme Court's vote to uphold the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act, which requires Americans to purchase health insurance or face a financial penalty.He was among two dozen attorneys general who filed briefs opposing the law.Schuette says the law's individual mandate requirement "imposes huge costs on businesses across the country, which will choke and strangle the economy."With the Supreme Court's ruling, Michigan will have to set up a web site where individuals and small business owners can comparison shop for health insurance starting in 2014.

It is gameday for the Cougars, as Mike Leach and his team try their luck in Las Vegas against UNLV.
The game at Sam Boyd Stadium will be live on ESPN to a national audience – their second such game of the young season.
Washington State earned their first win of the season last week with a victory over Eastern Washington. On the flip side, UNLV is 0-2 to start the year.
The Cougars dominated UNLV last season 59-7, but there is no overlooking this year's squad.
"First of all, any team that doesn't give the other team credit is out of their mind," said Leach this week. "That's just wrong, it's short-sighted and the surest sign of a bad football team. It should all be based on whether you're doing the best and whether you're improving."
Leach said regardless of both teams records, there is a lot of talent on both sides of the ball – whether it has been evident thus far into the season or not.
"The other thing is, this is a different team than they were last year," he said. "UNLV is a different team – a much-improved team. They're disappointed with their results but they've got some weapons out there that are getting ready to un-cork, and we do too!"
Friday's game gets underway at 6 p.m. on ESPN.

Oh boy, you guys. Carmelo Anthony is at it again. Put it this way: When you put up a heat check three minutes into the game, you know you have it going. Anthony scored 22 points in the first quarter of the team's game against the Los Angeles Lakers on TNT, including this massive dunk over Jordan Hill.
Real cute, Jordan. You thought you were strong enough to meet Anthony at the rim. That was a nice thought.
To be fair, Anthony has been aided by some horrendous Lakers defense. On one play, three Lakers were back, and Anthony still went baseline for an easy three-point play. But Anthony is also locked in, and Metta World Peace has no chance trying to stop him. With 22 points already, one could easily see Anthony reaching 50 by the time this one is said and done, assuming the game actually stays relatively close.

My work fuses traditional portraiture and landscape, surrealist sensibility and minimal design to recreate the longings, desires and wants of my former child self. Within this work, I observe and mimic, imagine, pretend and act out. Wings are for freedom or angels to remind me of my grandma who used to teach me to hunt for arrowheads. Many of the images and patterns I employ act as a personal iconography. My application of squares signal the endless geometry of the urban landscape; indicators for the man-made --for the self-inflicted. Halos elevate and celebrate a subject, no matter how common. The shy little girl inside struggles to be heard saying things softly in washes and soft graphite and a grown woman seeks to relate with hard lines, her colors are never watered down.

PRESS RELEASE FROM THE SPOKANE POLICE DEPT: Despite a suspect lying about his identity, Spokane Police Detectives were able to piece together information surrounding a stolen motorcycle, return the motorcycle to its rightful owner and arrest the suspect without incident.
The suspect, Justin Johnson, a prolific offender was arrested on charges including Unlawful Possession of a Firearm, Identity Theft, Possession of Heroin with the Intent to Deliver and Possession of a stolen vehicle.
The incident started overnight on September 16, 2012, when a 2006 Silver Suzuki motorcycle was stolen from the 1900 Block of East South Ridge Drive in Spokane County. The motorcycle was located by officers on October 12, 2012, just before midnight near Alberta and Wellesley with incorrect plates.
Justin Johnson (32) who had an extensive criminal history had been riding the motorcycle and when questioned by officers, told them his name and provided identification that he was Jeremy Johnson, a name that did not show up as wanted and had no criminal history attached to it. Johnson had a handgun tucked into his waistband that officers discovered as they detained him.
When officers checked the fake name Jeremy Johnson at the station, they found no outstanding warrants, Johnson was released and the motorcycle returned to the registered owner. Upon further investigation, officers determined Jeremy Johnson was really Justin Johnson, who did have felony warrants.
Justin Johnson was located in a room at the West Wynn Hotel, 2701 W. Sunset Blvd. Johnson was arrested coming out of one of the rooms, and had a stolen 9mm handgun in his backpack. The gun had been stolen in a recent Coeur d'Alene, Idaho burglary. Another firearm was located inside the backpack as well, both within reach of Johnson.
Officers executed a search warrant of the room and found a large amount of drug paraphernalia, all indicative of drug distribution. Portions of the items tested positive for Heroin.
Ultimately, Johnson was arrested for 3 counts of Unlawful Possession of a Firearm, 1 count of a Stolen Firearm, 2nd Degree Identity Theft, Possession of Heroin with the Intent to Deliver and Possession of a stolen vehicle.
Johnson has an extensive local criminal history, including burglaries, stolen property and eluding police officers and is considered a repeat offender. Thanks to officers' careful apprehension of Johnson, who was armed at the time of his arrest, no one was injured during this potentially dangerous situation

Ersan Ilyasova, a Turkish forward who has bounced between the NBA and Europe, has reportedly agreed in principle to a three-year deal with Fenerbahce in Turkey. Ilyasova has one year remaining on his contract with the Milwaukee Bucks, which complicates the whole "three-year deal" thing, as Dan Sinclair of SB Nation's Brew Hoop notes.
The Bucks have surely been anticipating this development. Even before the lockout, there were rumors Ersan wanted to leave Milwaukee and return to Europe. John Hammond's immediate response, "he's under contract," seemed to indicate the Bucks' desire to keep him, although it hardly sounded like a vote of confidence and it certainly wasn't going to close the book on the matter entirely.
The Bucks have been shopping Ilyasova, the odd man out in a crowded if underwhelming frontcourt, for some time. He's a bit of a commodity, a solid rotation player on a cheap ($2.5 million) deal who just turned 24. He's signed through the end of the 2011-12 season. So how can he sign a three-year deal? The contract could be structured as such that he'd be forced to return to the Bucks -- or a team he's traded to -- should the '11-12 season happen, and then can return to Fenerbahce for the 2012-13 season.
Ilyasova played for Fenerbahce before coming to the Bucks in 2005. He actually didn't play a minute for Milwaukee as a rookie, instead making his mark in the D-League. He did play in 66 games in his second year, but instead of signing a new deal with the Bucks as a restricted free agent, he signed in Spain for two years. He then returned to the NBA, signing a three-year deal through 2012 with Milwaukee.

I haven't had much time to work on this. Previously the key bindings for abilities were hard-coded. If you hit "z" it'd use the "dagger throw" ability, "s" for shapeshift, "g" for anti-gravity. Now the key bindings are customizable:
You click on an icon in the bottom left of the screen to bring up the list of skills (displayed in a line above the icon you clicked). Then you select a skill by clicking on it and the keybinding is set.
I also added another enemy that's like the one in the previous gameplay video, except it follows you and throws spears at you:
This progress update isn't as significant as I'd like it to be, but being able to customize the key bindings is a step towards making it playable and towards supporting character development. The stat system is in place for attacking and dealing damage. I just need to figure out how I want stat gains to work and figure out at what level you'll get each ability. Once I get that done I'll be in much better shape, I'll just have to create more content.
My Interface library got a long-needed update. The update improves the JavaScript-DM functionality. You can now pass strings, numbers, objects, and lists between JavaScript and DM. The update also added a few new demos and improved the documentation. Here's the full list of changes.
- Created the JS2DM proc which is an alias of BROWSER_UPDATE_SCRIPT. It does the exact same thing, it just has a shorter name. The BROWSER_UPDATE_SCRIPT proc is still in the library for backwards compatibility.
- Documented the code in the library - added headers to each file and some inline comments.
- Added a list parser (list-parsing.dm) so you can now pass JavaScript arrays to DM procs and they'll automatically be converted to DM lists. It doesn't handle nested lists or associative arrays (JS objects/hashtables).
- Added the js-hello-world demo which is a very basic example of calling a DM proc from JS.
- Split the demo that was previously called "demo" into controls-demo and window-demo. They're essentially the same. window-demo uses the library to generate code for the window based on the .dmf file. controls-demo doesn't do this, it just instantiates the /Control objects (/Browser, /Info, /Label, etc.) directly.
- Added javascript-demo which shows examples of passing different data types from JavaScript to DM and from DM to JavaScript.
Pixel Movement / Sidescroller
I haven't gotten any bad reports about the last update to Pixel Movement. I don't have any more big updates in mind, just some minor stuff. I need to update the documentation for Pixel Movement, create documentation for Sidescroller, and update Sidescroller to include some of the performance enhancements that PM got.
Two days and 20 hours left, in case any generous people happen to read this.


text: PETROLIA, Calif. (AP) - SWAT teams from three counties and a team from the California Department of Corrections, as well as federal law enforcement officials and local police have joined the hunt for a Northern California man wanted in the killing of his wife and two young daughters. Two helicopters and an armored vehicle are helping search teams in a rugged wilderness area with poor roads and limited access along California's remote North Coast. Humboldt County sheriff's office says they are looking for Shane Franklin Miller. The 45-year-old is suspected of slaying his family Tuesday night in the rural community of Shingletown. Miller is considered armed and extremely dangerous. Officials say he grew up in the area and knows the thick forests of the region very well. Area residents are being asked to report any break-ins or other unusual activities. They are also being asked to stay inside once night falls and to keep their doors locked.

Rogoff writes as if inflation has no costs. That's so typical of mainstream econ. They do benefit/benefit analysis instead of cost/benefit. Inflation is a tax on savers, the working poor and the retired. If Rogoff wants to destroy the tiny urge to save and ensure that people always max out their credit cards and mortgages their houses to the limit, sustained mild inflation is the way to do it.
Doing cost/benefit analysis, inflation is not the lesser evil.
