The very opening of the sonata has this rhythm, and Brahms extends it into a wholly distinctive, yet complementary theme, this time more expansive, as befits the first subject of a sonata form. The link to the finale is yet further strengthened when another variant of the dotted rhythm appears towards the end of the development, now stressing G minor before the reprise restores G major. But the composer is not content only to play with the wistful recall of the idea—as he is to do even more with the theme of the finale in its closing bars. G minor opens up the possibility of E flat as a closely related key, and this is where Brahms places his soulful 'Adagio', an almost funereal movement where the sense of loss is at its greatest. So what a surprise it is when this very theme reappears (in E flat major again) as the central idea of the Rondo, now at 'allegro' tempo, and given to the violin, its winging sequel seeming to sing of resolution, of joyful acceptance, a quality deeply endorsed in the closing bars where it merges with the dotted figure in a tranquil recollection, the happiest memories of the 'Regenlied' now seeming to pervade all.

A total of 539 school districts across the U.S. and Canada are being recognized by the College Board, which administers the AP program. Achieving both of these goals is the ideal scenario for a district's AP program because it indicates that the district is successfully identifying motivated, academically prepared students who are likely to benefit most from rigorous AP course work. More than 90 percent of colleges and universities across the U.S. offer college credit, advanced placement or both for a score of 3 or higher on an AP exam — which potentially can save students and their families thousands of dollars in college tuition.
According to data released today by The College Board, the number of Advanced Placement tests taken by Ohio public high school students grew by 6.7 percent last year and 35.6 percent during the past five years. The number of students earning scores high enough to qualify for college credit grew by 9.2 percent last year and 43.2 percent in the past five years.
The number of African American students passing AP tests grew by 24.4 percent last year and 61.6 percent in the last five years. Growing minority participation is a key goal.
"I commend our schools for actively helping to raise awareness of Advanced Placement courses and exams and commend Ohio students for taking advantage of the opportunity that has been afforded to them," Acting Superintendent of Public Instruction Michael Sawyers said. "Earning college credit while still in high school gives students a head start when they enroll in college."
To be included on the AP Honor Roll, a district must increase participation and access to AP courses, ensure that the percentage of minority students taking AP exams did not decrease, and improve performance levels of students scoring a 3 or higher over the past three school years.
Northwest Ohio school districts named to the AP Honor Roll are:
Helping more students learn at a higher level and earn higher AP scores is an objective of all members of the AP community, from AP teachers to district and school administrators to college professors. Many districts are experimenting with a variety of initiatives and strategies to determine how to expand access and improve student performance simultaneously.
The complete 3rd Annual AP District Honor Roll can be found here.
About the Advanced Placement Program®
The College Board's Advanced Placement Program® (AP®) enables willing and academically prepared students to pursue college-level studies — with the opportunity to earn college credit, advanced placement or both — while still in high school. Through AP courses in 34 subjects, each culminating in a rigorous exam, students learn to think critically, construct solid arguments and see many sides of an issue — skills that prepare them for college and beyond. Taking AP courses demonstrates to college admission officers that students have sought the most rigorous curriculum available to them, and research indicates that students who score a 3 or higher on an AP Exam typically experience greater academic success in college and are more likely to earn a college degree than non-AP students. Each AP teacher's syllabus is evaluated and approved by faculty from some of the nation's leading colleges and universities, and AP Exams are developed and scored by college faculty and experienced AP teachers. Most four-year colleges and universities in the United States grant credit, advanced placement or both on the basis of successful AP Exam scores — more than 3,600 institutions worldwide annually receive AP scores. In the last decade, participation in the AP Program has more than doubled and graduates succeeding on AP Exams have nearly doubled. In May 2012, 2.1 million students representing more than 18,000 schools around the world, both public and nonpublic, took 3.7 million AP Exams.
About the College Board
The College Board is a mission-driven not-for-profit organization that connects students to college success and opportunity. Founded in 1900, the College Board was created to expand access to higher education. Today, the membership association is made up of over 6,000 of the world's leading educational institutions and is dedicated to promoting excellence and equity in education. Each year, the College Board helps more than seven million students prepare for a successful transition to college through programs and services in college readiness and college success — including the SAT® and the Advanced Placement Program®. The organization also serves the education community through research and advocacy on behalf of students, educators and schools. For further information, visit www.collegeboard.org.

Mr Anderson was written off of television on Impact Wrestling, and he's also now the father of newborn twins, so that led many to believe that he was going to be skipping the current European tour that TNA is on. However, it has now been confirmed that he is overseas with the company.
Former TNA World Heavyweight Champion Mr Anderson revealed on Instagram that he is now a father after his wife gave birth to twins. His daughter is named Prescott Liberty Anderson, while his son is Pearce Remington Anderson.
A big triple threat match featuring Matt Hardy, Shane Helms and Mr Anderson, all of whom are former WWE stars, has been booked for an independent wrestling show in Wisconsin this upcoming Saturday night.
TNA produced a highly entertaining funeral segment for Aces and Eights, who were forced to split up after Bully Ray was defeated by Mr Anderson at Turning Point.
To further sell the story line, Bully Ray posted on Twitter that his backstage heat with Mr Anderson goes back to their time in WWE.
The feud with Mr Anderson is designed to keep Bully Ray away from the TNA World Heavyweight Championship for a while.

Another Thanksgiving has come and gone, which means it's time for Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and the month of gift shopping that follows. Here's everything you need to know about making the best of this year's deals.
Here's Your Black Friday Survival Toolkit
Will you be braving the crowds and parking lot traffic to score exclusive deals on this year's biggest day for in-store shopping? If so, you'll need a strategy and some tools to arm yourself against Black Friday shopping insanity.
The Best Black Friday Deals
Welcome to our coverage of all the best Black Friday deals. Deals are continuing to pour in, and this post will be constantly updated right up to the point when our Cyber Monday guide goes live.
The Difference Between Thanksgiving, Black Friday, and Cyber Monday
Sometimes shopping during Black Friday can feel like betting on a prize fight. You plunk down all your money on a great pair of shoes, only to see their price get knocked down during a Cyber Monday blowout. But how can a shopper know what kinds of unadvertised, winning sales are just around the corner? On everyone's mind this season is the question of whether Thanksgiving, Black Friday, or Cyber Monday—or the span of time in between these holidays—will be the best time to shop for the specific items they want.
How to Quickly Tell if a Deal Is Really a Deal on Black Friday
Black Friday deals can be amazing, but just as often, they feature a marked up retail price to make it look like they're discounted more than they are.
Why Black Friday May Not Be the Best Time to Shop for Bargains
Black Friday is at the end of this week, and while there will certainly be bargains at some of your favorite retailers, they may not be the best, and they may not even be worth shopping for.
The Facts Behind 14 Black Friday Myths
The team at dealnews wants to help you get the best possible price for what you want to buy, and to keep you from getting hoodwinked while you're shopping.
13 Things Not to Buy on Black Friday
With all the 2013 Black Friday ad leaks and sneak peeks we've unearthed in the past few weeks, this season's shopping extravaganza is looking ripe with deals and discounts for all. But even though many product categories will see new all-time low prices, not everything is at its lowest price on Black Friday. In fact, there are 13 items you definitely shouldn't buy on November 29.
The Best Apps and Sites for Tracking Holiday Shopping Deals
The holiday shopping season is coming up soon and it won't be long before everyone and their mothers (especially their mothers) are trying to find the best deals on everything. Here are some of the most useful tools for finding the best deals you can.
Ask an Expert: All About Black Friday
Say hello to Mark LoCastro, public relations manager at DealNews. The DealNews team scours the web every day to find the best deals, sales, and prices on everything from gadgets and games to office supplies and clothing.

Joseph Park
Real Name
Christopher Park
Date of Birth
October 4, 1973
Place of Birth
Since TNA decided to shift Mr Anderson into a program with Sam Shaw, there is now a need to find an opponent for Bully Ray. Since most of the performers on the roster are already involved in a program, one of the ideas being tossed around is to have the former world heavyweight champion joining the program between Eric Young and Joseph Park.
February 24, 2014
Eric Young and Joseph Park, who worked under the mask as Abyss on Impact Wrestling this week, were heavily praised by TNA for their recent performance. Their hardcore match came off really well, both with the live audience and on television. Plus, their overall selling of the story line over the last few weeks have been better than expected.
February 8, 2014
There are those backstage that are hoping that TNA does not get rid of the Joseph Park character, as they feel that he is a character that still has some life left. Plus, it seems like Christopher Parks genuinely enjoys playing the role, as he does put a lot of attention into the details.
January 20, 2014
When is not wrestling for the company, Joseph Park has been working as a backstage agent and producer for TNA.

(Nairobi, Samburu, Matthews Range, Lewa Conservancy)
This safari gives the traveler the chance to enjoy the more active side of game viewing. Go by foot, 4x4, camel or horse back, they are all great ways get you closer to the wild. Start your tour in the Samburu Reserve stretches stark and rugged towards the Chalbi desert. A place of baked brown earth and sparse vegetation, it is a place where you can experience the empty and wild side of Kenya. The safari continues to the The Matthews Mountain Range, which is located in Kenya's Northern Frontier and is one of the wildest areas in the country. The place is home to numerous types of wildlife as well as the famous Samburu people. This is an area that can only be explored by foot. Then continue on the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy with the views of Mt- Kenya, the park stretches for over 45,000 acres. The Lewa Wildlife Conservancy was set up to protect against poaching and now the amount of wildlife in the area has grown enormously, including many endangered species. Focusing on camps in private reserves and national game parks this safari provides the adventure of game viewing, with exclusive cultural access for a more complete safari. For connoisseurs who appreciate a finer perspective, experience the spectacle of Africa in ways you never dreamed!
While you are in the care of Kensington Tours, your safety and security are our number one priority. As such, in the unlikely event of serious illness or injury, all Kensington Tours clients are covered by "Flying Doctors" Insurance policy. This emergency evacuation insurance covers the cost of the evacuation flight back to Nairobi for treatment. This insurance policy however DOES NOT cover the cost of any medical treatment received. We highly recommend travel insurance for full coverage.
A privately driven vehicle will provide you with a transfer to and from the airport.
This morning you'll meet up with your guide and head off to Samburu National park. The drive from the urban center of Nairobi, through the fertile highlands, the semi-arid frontier of Kenya is breath-taking and a great way to see the countryside. The drive will be about 5 to 6 hours.
Another species unique to the Samburu region is the gerenuk. With luck, you'll see some while on your game drive. It's amazing to watch them stand on their hind legs to eat! The gerenuk (also known as Waller's gazelle) is a long-necked species of antelope found in dry bushy shrub and steppe in East Africa. The word gerenuk comes from the Somali language, meaning "giraffe-necked", and leads to its other common name, the giraffe-necked antelope.
Early this morning you'll meet up with your guide for your game drive. One of the amazing things about Samburu is that you'll most likely see species that are unique to this region. The Grévy's zebra (Equus grevyi), also known as the imperial zebra, is the largest species of zebra. It is found in the Samburu area as well as parts of Ethiopia. Compared to other zebras, it is taller, has larger ears, and its stripes are narrower. Grévy's zebra is considered endangered, partly due to hunting for its skin, which fetches a high price on the world market. It also suffers habitat destruction, human disturbances at water holes and competition with domestic grazing animals. There are estimated to be 17.000 Grévy's zebra still living in the wild. With luck, you'll see some today!
Transfer in a private vehicle from Samburu to Matthews Range.
Walk with experienced Samburu warriors in 900km² of private stunning untouched mountain wilderness. Enjoy the the sights that the Matthews range has to offer with more than 200 bird species. The forest is one of the very few areas where you can see the rare elusive Brazza Monkey outside the Ruwenzori Mountains. Take advantage and feel like a real explorer in this untouched region.
Owned by professional guides, the camp's emphasis is on a complete safari experience – fun, intellectually stimulating, oneness with nature. Here are some of the activities you can enjoy at the Camp;
Cultural visits to local Samburu families
Leave your vehicle behind and learn the traditional methods of tracking game. Experienced Samburu warriors will help you discover the herds of gazelle, oryx, ostrich, and Grevy's zebra share the pasture land with Samburu cattle in the Mattthews Range. Elephant are found in great numbers whilst lion, leopard, greater kudu, waterbuck, giant forest hogs, buffalos and even wild dogs are among the other species found, together with more than 200 bird species.
Transfer in a private vehicle from Matthews Range to Lewa.
Enjoy afternoon game viewing in and around the Lewa region. This region has more endangered mammals within its borders than any other area in East Africa. White and black rhino resides here, along with other endagered and northern species: Grevy's Zebra, Somali ostrich, Beisa oryx, gerenuk, reticulated giraffe... Just imagine what you'll see!
An expert guide will meet you at your lodge, along with other guests, and take you on a shared game viewing drive through the Lewa Conservancy. These types of game viewing excursions are done in the early hours of the day, and in the late afternoon hours, being that the wildlife is most active during this time frame. Your game reserve fees are included.
Lewa safari camp offers many activities which include the following: Game drives in 4x4 Land Cruisers, Guided bush walks, Bush breakfasts & Sundowners. Extra activities that can also be done for an extra fee; Guided visits to Ngare Ndare forest, Horse riding & camel riding, Horse and Visit to Il Ngwesi cultural boma. These can be arranged on location at the camp.
Your guide will drive you from Lewa to Nairobi, along newly paved roads. This drive will take approximately 3 hours.
The opportunity to explore the local markets and shops presents itself today as so you can interact with the local vendors in search for the perfect handicraft or souvenir for yourself or your loved ones.
Before leaving that night, stop by the Kensington office for free use of Internet and lounge. If you like, we can make reservations for dinner at a local restaurant as well. Please let us know in advance and if you are vegetarian.
The Fairmont Norfolk Hotel is situated in the centre of the bustling city of Nairobi, in Kenya, and has grown over time with the city. Surrounded by private tropical gardens, the 165 guest rooms and suites are comfortable and with all the necessities of home. Dining is offered at a number of onsite restaurants, and the breakfast buffet is especially delightful. Spend some time getting to know the city, and then escape to the tranquility of the hotel. At your pleasure enjoy the wonderful swimming pool facilities, the health club and a relaxing spa.
Joy's Camp is situated in Shaba National Reserve, which is 314kms from Nairobi. Shaba National Reserve is a semi desert with a rugged hilly terrain, with great rocky kopjes (small hills) and lots of springs supporting the abundant wildlife. The landscape is similar to nearby Samburu with riverine forests, acacias and doum palms. Shaba National Reserve was made famous for its association with the world famous conservationists Joy and George Adamson and the film " Born Free".
The Matthew's Mountain Range rise up out of the desert; a chain of peaks covered in dense dewy forest. In a remote valley, Kitich Camp overlooks a river glade within the lush indigenous forest. With only six guest tents, one can expect complete privacy. Each en suite tent is traditionally safari-style, with an al-fresco stone bathroom. Kitich Camp's cosy lounge with open fire and sheepskin-covered safari chairs overlooks the floodlit river glade – from here guests can enjoy watching the wildlife emerge from the forest at dusk. With no roads, no other people, walk along forest paths guided by the Samburu and Ndorobo people, or swim in natural rock pools of the crystal mountain streams, Kitich Camp offers a truly unique and private forest wildlife experience.
Lewa Safari Camp places exceptional emphasis on the earth and surroundings. The safari camp manages to relay its plans for a genuine relationship between man and his peers and the wildlife some of us have never before encountered. The camp sleeps 26 guests in its 12 tented rooms. Meals are taken in the dining tent and occasionally in the bush, with the most luscious of homegrown fruits and vegetables accompanied by tender meats. Take advantage of the in depth knowledge offered by hosts, who will share their expertise and understanding of this environment. Try something different and enjoy the region's breeze while on a horse and camel safari.

"I would highly recommend the tour guide that we had in the Serengetti . He was extremely knowledgeable, very helpful and courteous. We all agree that Kensington has first class staff working for them in Africa. All the camps that we stayed at were absolutely beautiful except perhaps for the one in Lake Manyara. All in all it was a spectacular trip!"

"Our trip to Masai Mara via Kensington ran very smoothly. We stayed at the Mara West Lodge. Beautiful location atop a ridge overlooking the Masai Mara plains. Our luxury tents were quite comfortable and the staff/service at the lodge were great. Meals were very nice especially the daily soups. Our guide, Steve, was also great...so knowledgeable and eager to show us many interesting things. He planned our daily game drives and took us on a nature hike one afternoon. He clearly knows and understands this ecosystem. He has an amazing eye, finding animals in fields of tall grasses. Our entire family had an amazing time, trip of a lifetime...would love to go back!"

"Once again, a perfect trip. From Elizabeth's planning to Godfrey's guiding, we could not have asked for a more thorough and well planned safari. I can't wait to come back and do it again, this time with a Kilimanjaro climb added onto the trip!"

"The entire trip was superb - all the transfers, the lodging and the food, the safari experience and the knowledgeable guides. The guide's ability to spot an animal and identify it at a great distance allowed us to see and photograph all the animals on our list and then some. The lodgings were even better than we had hoped and the staff could not possibly have been better. Our trip of a lifetime turned out to be just that."

"We finally returned from the most magical vacation in Morocco and we cannot thank Lily and Kensington Tours enough!! This trip was beyond amazing and we are so appreciative for everything done to make this trip happen last minute for us!
We had a spectacular tour guide that spoke 8 languages, Ismail, and the friendliest and warmest driver, Said, whom made the experience absolutely phenomenal! Not only did we learn and see, but we laughed, danced, ate like pigs, kissed camels and snakes, ran in the Sahara desert under the stars, and enjoyed life - the best gift of all!

"I am so happy that I used Kensington Tours to help with my dream trip to Cape Town South Africa. I was looking for a well respected tour company that planned private guided tours that was not going to cause me my leg, lol. I begin searching companies by reputation and value. I narrowed it down to Kensington Tours because of the quality and value. I felt taken care of prior to my departure due to the detailed itinerary.
From the time of got off the plane to the time I headed back to the states, I was in excellent hands. The service was EXCELLENT! I will definitely use Kensington again. Certainly, a trip of a lifetime!"

"I have travelled all my life. I've combed much of Europe, from The arctic north in Norway to the streets of Seville in Spain, the beaches of Cannes and Nice in France and the medieval heart of Bologna in Italy. I've been on two African safaris (one tented, one not), both "luxurious." I've been on more than a dozen jaunts to India, some guided, others not. Over the years I have discovered that I had rather be lost and disoriented in a foreign country than submit once again to the unbending schedule of a guided tour. Hence I had given up tours of any kind, until Molly Kelly, an American Express travel agent, suggested I might want simply to list the places my friends and I wished to see in Morocco then let Kensington Tours make accessing them in an orderly way not only possible but thoroughly enjoyable as well. And this Kensington Tours did. They pulled our disparate destinations together and designed a far, far better route than we could ever have done on our own. They satisfied all our requests and threw in delicious additions, areas of interest we had never considered or even heard of. Our accommodations were well within our means and wonderful. Our guide and driver, not to mention our Mercedes SUV, could not have pleased us more. In other words, thanks to Molly and her recommending Kensington Tours, we had a sensational holiday. "

"Africa had always been a myth in mind since I was child that was up until a week ago. I just returned from an epic safari adventure! Kenya, Tanzania and the Maasai are sorely missed.
Words cannot fully express the magic of this ever-flowing journey. It was awe-inspiring, breathtaking, free and powerful. My mind keeps playing tricks on me; thinking rather hoping that I'm going to see a giraffe cross a busy NYC street :)
The memories will resonate for a lifetime. To boot, I went on this trip solo; female traveler. Not sure any of it would have been possible w/out Kensington Tours!!! Thank you..."

"I had a wonderful trip visiting the mountain gorillas in Uganda. We were able to get really close to the gorillas and watched their interactions with each other. The local people are so gracious and made every minute a delight. The accomodations were great. I loved waking up in the morning to the sounds of the forest. The added luxury of a massage was a great way to end the trip!"

"Our family of 6 traveled to Morocco for a 9 day Imperial cities discovery, I was absolutely amazing. Our guide Lahcen Zaaim was the best guide we have EVER had and we have traveled to many countries. There was not one subject that he was not knowledgeable about. He made the trip sooooo memorable. He was so flexible and when he picked us up in the mornings to head out, he was talking nonstop to tell us soo much about everything we were seeing. There was soooo much to see in Morocco and he made sure we saw it all.. He truly has a gift in the touring business, you feel as if your leaving your best friend when the trip is over. When we got to the airport in casablanca, he spotted us before we saw him and of course, we asked him, how did you recognize us? He even went as far as to get the King of Moroccos artist to meet us at our riad the night before we left to return home late to do our names in moroccan arabic to frame, They were beautiful, He showed us a picture of the Kings Face he had done for the Palace! Lily Baffour from Kensington planned our trip and she was amazing, planning everything as she thought we would like based on what I told her. She did an Outstanding job and literally sent our Iteniaries by next day air in a beautifully done spiral bound personally book for each family that was going on the trip, SOOOOOO IMPRESSED and she even got the guide we requested!!!! I cant say enough about this trip and Kensington, we will definitely use again!!! We experienced a VERY different culture in going to Morocco and thats what we wanted, a Very different exotic trip and thats what we got!!!! Again our accomodations we Top Notch, staying in the TRuly authenic Riads, they were SOOOOO Luxurious, Plan on taking another suitcase or buying one there because you will buy more things to bring home than any other trip because of all the Handicrafts there, especially in Fes!!!

The problem for gasquet is that he hasn't signed in for this tournament. Otherwise he would have been seeded for the qualies based on his brand new ranking. Now he can only count on a Wild card.

It is not true, because this rule is valid for International Series, Challengers and Futures only.
They make an entry list for qualies for GS, Master Series and IS Gold that are based on the ranking available 3 weeks before start of play.
The priority for alternates is therefore:
1/ signed player (ranking from 3 weeks before)
2/ unsigned player (last available ranking)

It was definitely the night of young, blonde American stars at the American Music Awards 2012 as Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift stole the show. Taylor - currently the subject of relationship rumours with a certain Brit pop star called Harry Styles who you may or may not be familiar with - performed a dub step version of her track I Knew You Were Trouble, which was supposedly written about former musician flame, John 'The Player' Mayor. Halfway through the song the sexy singer, who picked up the gong for Favourite Female Country Artist whipped off her ladylike white gown to reveal a red corset and black fishnet tights. If Hazza wasn't interested before, he certainly will be now!
Meanwhile the Biebster claimed three awards, including the night's coveted prize of Artist of the Year which he beat Rihanna, Katy Perry and Maroon 5 to receive. He also performed alongside bootilicious rapper Nicki Minaj and secured his place 'Mum's favourite' after bringing his ma Pattie on stage with him to collect his first award.

OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) -- Maryland State Police say a man jumped from an overpass onto Interstate 795 in Baltimore County and was struck by multiple vehicles that didn't stop.
Police say witnesses reported seeing 43-year-old Ronnie Lewis of Reisterstown jump from the Pleasant Hill Road overpass late Monday night. He was struck by several vehicles and was pronounced dead at the scene.
Northbound I- 795 was closed for a time from Owings Mills Boulevard and Franklin Boulevard. Police say vehicle parts were located at the scene and were recovered as evidence.
Anyone who saw the incident is asked to call police.

The Sonar SonarQube Runner is recommended as the default launcher to analyze a project with SonarSonarQube.
You must have previously installed the Sonar SonarQube Runner and read Analyzing Code Source.
|Sonar Runner 2.0+
You must also have the language plugins installed for each of the languages you wish analyzed in your projects.
Simple Project
Create a configuration file in the root directory of the project: sonar-project.properties
|Code Block
# requiredRequired metadata sonar.projectKey=my:project sonar.projectName=My project sonar.projectVersion=1.0 # optionalPath description sonar.projectDescription=Fake description # path to source directories (required) sonar.sources=srcDir1,srcDir2 # path to test source directories (optional) sonar.tests=testDir1,testDir2 # path to project binaries (optional), for example directory of Java bytecode sonar.binaries=binDir # optional comma-separated list of paths to libraries. Only path to JAR file is supported. sonar.libraries=path/to/library/*.jar,path/to/specific/library/myLibrary.jar,parent/*/*.jar # The value of the property must be the key of the language. sonar.language=cobolto the parent source code directory. # Path is relative to the sonar-project.properties file. Replace "\" by "/" on Windows. # Since SonarQube 4.2, this property is optional if sonar.modules is set. # If not set, SonarQube starts looking for source code from the directory containing # the sonar-project.properties file. sonar.sources=src # Encoding of the source code sonar.sourceEncoding=UTF-8 # Additional parameters sonar.my.property=value
Run the following command from the project base directory to launch the Sonar analysis:
|Code Block
Since Sonar 3.4, if a project cannot be accessed anonymously, the 'sonar.login' and 'sonar.password' properties are required to run an analysis on this project. These properties have to be set to the credentials of a user having the 'User' role on this project. You can set them either:
- directly on the command line by adding -Dsonar.login=myUser -Dsonar.password=myPassword
- or in the 'sonar-project.properties' project configuration file
- or in the 'sonar-runner.properties' global configuration file
A project cannot be anonymously accessed when either:
- the 'sonar.forceAuthentication' property is set to 'true'
- or the 'sonar.forceAuthentication' property is set to 'false' and the 'Anyone' group has not been granted a 'User' role on the project
Project Samples
To help you getting started, for each language, a simple project sample is available on github that can be browsed or downloaded: projects/languages
|Include Page
Project Samples
To help you get started, simple project samples are available for most languages on github. They can be browsed or downloaded. You'll find them filed under projects/languages.
Multi-language Project
Since SonarQube 4.2, it is possible to run an analysis on a multi-language project. To do so, the
sonar.language property just has to be removed. Conversely, if for some reason you want to perform a single language-only analysis, make sure
sonar.language is specified.
To help you get started, a multi-language project sample can be browsed or downloaded from github: projects/languages/multi-language/multi-language-java-javascript-sonar-runner
|Include Page
Multi-module Project
There are two ways to define a multi-module structure in SonarSonarQube:
|Using the given file structure...
|... with the given 'properties' files
Way #1
Set all the configuration in the properties file in the root folder
Way #2
Set the configuration in multiple properties files
- Properties are inherited from parent to children
They can obviously Children inherit their parent's properties
Inherited properties can be overriden:
- By prefixing them with the module identifier (way #1)
- Simply by defining them in the 'sonar-project.properties' file located in the module (way #2)
- Module base directory can be specified for special cases
By default, the module base directory is guessed from the module identifier (like in the examples above). But it can be redefined using the '
sonar.projectBaseDir' property.
For instance, here are two use cases and the way how to redefine the base directory of the modules in each:
the folder of a module contains white spaces or special characters:
Code Block language bash
module1.sonar.projectBaseDir=My Module One
the module is not located directly in the parent folder, but in a deeper directory structure:
Code Block language bash
module1.sonar.projectBaseDir=modules/mod1 module2.sonar.projectBaseDir=modules/mod2
- A project that defines modules (or a module that defines sub-modules) cannot define a source code folder to be analyzed by Sonar.
To help you getting get started, multi-module project samples are available on github that can be browsed or downloaded from github:
- Modules with the same structure: projects/multi-module/sonar-runner/java-sonar-runner-modules-same-structure
- Modules with different structures: projects/multi-module/sonar-runner/java-sonar-runner-modules-different-structures
- A configuration file for each module: projects/multi-module/sonar-runner/java-sonar-runner-modules-own-configuration-file
Multi-module and Multi-language Project
Since Sonar 3.3, it is possible to run an analysis on a multi-module project whose modules contains source code from different languages.
In addition to the multi-module configuration, the only mandatory property to set is the language for each module:
|Code Block
To help you getting started, a multi-language project sample is available on github that can be browsed or downloaded: projects/languages/multi-language/multi-language-java-javascript-sonar-runner
Advanced Usage
Running Other Tasks
|Code Block
# To run the computation of views (Views plugin is required)
sonar-runner views
# To run the computation of reports (Report plugin is required)
sonar-runner report
# To run the computation of developer data (Developer Cockpit plugin is required)
sonar-runner devcockpit
Advanced Usage
If a sonar-project.properties file cannot be created in the root directory of the project, there are several alternatives:
The properties can be specified directly through the command line. Ex:
Code Block language none
sonar-runner -Dsonar.projectKey=myproject -Dsonar.sources=src1
The property '
project.settings' can be used to specify the path to the project configuration file (this option is incompatible with the '
project.home' property and
sonar.projectBaseDirproperties). Ex:
Code Block language none
sonar-runner -Dproject.settings=../myproject.properties
The root folder of the project to analyze can be set through the '
sonar.projectBaseDir property since SonarQube Runner 2.4 (was previously
project.home' property). This folder must contain a sonar-project.properties file if the mandatory properties (like '
sonar.projectKey') are not specified on the command line.
Additional analysis parameters can be defined in this project configuration file or through command-line parameters.
Alternate Analysis Directory
If the files to be analyzed are not in the directory where the analysis starts from, use the
projectBaseDir property to move analysis to a different directory. E.G. analysis begins from jenkins/jobs/myjob/workspace but the files to be analyzed are in ftpdrop/cobol/project1.
|Code Block
For more, see the listing of analysis parameters.
If you get an a Java heap space error or java.lang.OutOfMemoryError, you can set increase the memory via the SONAR_RUNNER_OPTS environment variable, like this in *nix environments:
On Windows environments, avoid the double-quotes, since they get misinterpreted , turning and combine the two parameters into a single one.
Migrating from Sonar Runner 1.X to Sonar Runner 2.0
Replace the following properties in the sonar-project.properties file:
- sources => sonar.sources
- tests => sonar.tests
- binaries => sonar.binaries
- libraries => sonar.libraries

As long as a user knows the Wi-Fi password and the box is within range of a Wi-Fi signal, each box takes less than 10 minutes to set up. I have seen many in the industry debate which box has better Wi-Fi strength, but I have yet to see any testing of the two that has shown conclusive results. A lot of factors go into how well Wi-Fi works including the type of Wi-Fi router, the position of the router and the type of Wi-Fi protocol (a/b/g/n) being used. Every home has its own unique setting that determines how strong and how far the Wi-Fi signal works, so it's very individual. That said, both boxes have what I would consider to be identical Wi-Fi strength and of all the testing and use of the boxes I have done over the years, I've never encountered any Wi-Fi differences between the two.
Remote Control
When it comes to the remotes, both work very well and are very responsive. One of the things you need to be aware of about the Apple TV remote is that it doesn't take standard sized batteries. It's not a huge deal breaker, but you probably have a lot more AAA batteries lying around for the Roku remote, as opposed to the watch batteries (CR2032 or BR2032) that the Apple TV remote takes.
The Roku 2 XS comes with a Bluetooth game remote with motion sensing for playing games and supports what Roku calls "instant replay," which allows the viewer to skip back in 10-second increments while a video is playing without having to re-buffer the stream. Apple's remote is smaller and much thinner than Roku's, but personally, I like how Roku's works better than the Apple TV remote. Apple's remote design is all about less is more, but I tend to find the few additional buttons on the Roku remote are there for a reason and are used often. All of this aside, no one is picking one box over another based solely on the remote and both remotes work very well and work from 30-feet away.
In addition to the physical remotes that come with these boxes, you can download the remote control apps for your iPad/iPhone that will control the Roku 2 XS or Apple TV.
Content/User Interface
As for the content available on both devices, this is really where the Roku 2 is the box to beat. Apple TV supports content from Netflix, Hulu Plus, MLB.TV, NHL GameCenter, NBA, Flickr and YouTube as well as the ability to purchase and rent content from iTunes. It also supports some free Internet content from folks like Revision3, WSJ and others, but all of that content is lumped in under the Podcast heading in Apple TV, so most folks probably don't see it. The Apple TV used to support $0.99 rentals from ABC, Disney, Fox, and the BBC via iTunes, but Apple has since discontinued that option and shows now have to be purchased for $2.99. For people who want XBMC support on the Apple TV, it's possible, but only works if someone is willing to jailbreak the device.
The Roku 2 has channels for Netflix, Hulu Plus, Vudu, Amazon Instant Video, HBO GO, Epix, MLB.TV, NHL GameCenter, NBA, Major League Soccer, UFC TV, CNBC, FOX News, NBC News, AOL HD, TED, Pandora, Crackle, Flickr and has support for PLEX. Roku has more than 250 public content channels listed on its website (though claims to offer 600), has an open SDK and as a result, has a lot of content partners working to bring more channels to Roku devices. In addition, users can browse over 1,000 "private" channels available for the Roku and add them if they know the correct code. Compare that to the Apple TV which today, has no SDK and doesn't run any apps from the box.
While Roku has support for nearly every content channel around, it does NOT have support for YouTube. For more than a year now, Roku has said it is working on an official channel, but the company won't give any estimate on when it will arrive. Some have been speculating for over 18 months now that the Apple TV will run apps in the future since internally it has 8GB of Flash storage, but none of that has yet to happen. So when deciding which box to buy, don't listen to rumors of what the box may or may not do down the road, evaluate the boxes in the market based on what they can do today.
If you want the most content choices available, the Roku 2 beats the Apple TV hands-down. But if support for YouTube is a requirement, then the Apple TV is the only choice. I should also mention that neither the Apple TV or Roku 2 XS are DLNA compliant, so if that is a requirement for the system, then pick the $99 Vizio Co-Star or the $99 Western Digital WD TV Live box.
Neither box has any kind of web browser built in, so you can't browse the web with the Roku 2 or Apple TV.
The Roku user interface is not as polished as the Apple TV interface, but it's simple, easy to navigate and you can customize the layout of the channels. The browsing experience on the Apple TV is great for picking movies and TV shows in iTunes, with large cover art, straightforward navigation and Rotten Tomatoes ratings. Both the Roku 2 XS and Apple TV have simple interfaces, and while they look different, they both perform well and do exactly what they should, with dead-simple navigation. In addition to streaming content, the Roku 2 XS also allows users to play nearly 30 games, with the most popular being Angry Birds. Roku's regular remote doubles as a gaming remote and works really well for simple gaming. And if Angry Birds is something you are really into, Roku even has a limited edition version of the console that comes in red.
Playing Videos From Local Computer
If you are already into Apple devices and have an iPad, iPhone or Mac or if you are planning an Apple-based control system for your home, then it makes a lot of sense to pick the Apple TV over the Roku due to how all the devices work together in Apple's ecosystem. You will have less content choices than the Roku 2 XS, but all the devices talk to one another and sharing content among all the devices is very easy. Any movies or TV shows purchased in iTunes via the Apple TV are stored in the cloud and will be available for download to an iPad or iPhone. Enabling an Apple TV to see the home's local computer allows you to stream just about any media you have on the computer that is running iTunes including their music collection, any video that iTunes can play and their photo collection.
And with Apple's Airplay technology, you can start watching a video on an iPhone, iPod or iPad and then move that content over to the Apple TV in real-time, for content rented or purchased via iTunes. Airplay also supports the streaming of video from third-party apps on the iPad and iPhone to the TV set with Apple TV in the middle, but only if the app developer enables Airplay functionality. For instance, Airplay works with TNT's iPhone app, but is disabled in TNT's iPad app. Also, Airplay does not allow customers to play back any DVD images from your computer.
While most people aren't aware of it, the Roku 2 XS can be used to play back content from a local computer, but it is not as easy or seamless as Apple's solution to use and it is not built in to the Roku. Installing a third-party channel on the Roku, like Roksbox, or using PlayOn or PLEX will turn a computer into a media server that can stream movies, pictures, and music from a computer, wirelessly to the Roku device. That said, the Roku 2 XS will NOT play back iTunes content that has been protected via Apple's DRM. Even with PLEX, the Roku 2 XS can't play back Apple's copy protected content. So while you can play back content that is in their iTunes library, it just can't be content you purchased from iTunes that is protected via Digital Rights Management (DRM). I've also experienced cases where the Roku will play back some music tracks but not others depending on how it was encoded. Content purchased via the Roku 2 XS through Amazon Instant Video can be downloaded to an iPad via the new Amazon Instant iPad app.
Replacing Cable TV (Cord-cutting)
Despite all the hype about cord-cutting, the Apple TV and Roku 2 XS alone will NOT allow the average person to drop their cable TV package. Neither box has an internal hard drive for storage, has no DVR functionality and has no support for picking up live TV stations via an over-the-air antenna. In addition, many of the content services available for the devices don't won't have every piece of content you want, at the quality you want and in the business model (rent/purchase/subscription) that you want. Even a great subscription service like MLB.TV has local blackout restrictions, so these $99 streamers are not a replacement for cable TV for 99 percent of consumers.
While many people are always willing to give their two cents on which device you should buy, everyone has different tastes when it comes to the type of content they want to watch, how they watch it and whether they rent it, buy it, or play it back from a local computer. Do your research and figure out what you want the box to do as opposed to what others are using it for. Picking the best box is pretty easy if you can answer the following questions:
• Does the TV you plan to hook it up to have support for HDMI?
• What specific content do you want to watch?
• How do you want to get your content? Via subscription, purchase or both?
• Do you want the ability to play back content (MP4, MKV) via a USB drive?
• Do you want to use the streaming box for casual gaming?
• Do you already own other Apple devices and want to use Apple's ecosystem?
• Do you plan to play back a lot of content via iTunes?
Keep in mind that these boxes are cheap at only $99 and getting them via Amazon means you can take advantage of their great return policy. The Roku 2 XS and Apple TV are only two of the SEVEN streaming boxes currently priced at under $100. (If you are looking for a box that streams Netflix and other subscription services and also has the Google TV platform built-in, the Vizio Co-Star box is an another option.)
When it comes to deciding which $99 streaming box to get, there are a lot of choices in the market. I've created a chart that shows the hardware specs of each device and also lists which content choices are available on them. You can check out the chart and compare a total of 13 different boxes by visiting http://www.StreamingMediaDevices.com.

What is copyright?
Copyright is a legal term used to describe the rights that creators have over their literary and artistic works. Works covered by copyright range from books, music, paintings, sculpture and films, to computer programs, databases, advertisements, maps and technical drawings.
Works covered by copyright include, but are not limited to:
- literary works such as novels, poems, plays, reference works, newspapers and computer programs; databases;
- films, musical compositions, and choreography;
- artistic works such as paintings, drawings, photographs and sculpture;
- architecture; and
- advertisements, maps and technical drawings.
Copyright protection extends only to expressions, and not to ideas, procedures, methods of operation or mathematical concepts as such. Copyright may or may not be available for titles, slogans, or logos, depending on whether they contain sufficient authorship. In most circumstances copyright does not protect names.
There are two types of rights under copyright: economic rights allow the rights owner to derive financial reward from the use of his works by others; and moral rights are the rights to claim authorship of a work, and the right to oppose changes to the work that could harm the creator's reputation.
Most copyright laws state that the author or rights owner has the right to authorize or prevent certain acts in relation to a work. The rights owner of a work can prohibit or authorize:
- its reproduction in various forms, such as printed publication or sound recording;
- its public performance, such as in a play or musical work;
- its recording ("fixation"), for example, in the form of compact discs or DVDs;
- its broadcasting, by radio, cable or satellite;
- its translation into other languages; and
- its adaptation, such as a novel into a film screenplay.
According to the Berne Convention, copyright protection is obtained automatically without the need for registration or other formalities. Some national copyright offices and laws do however provide for registration of works. This can facilitate, for example, questions involving disputes over ownership or creation, financial transactions, sales, assignments and transfer of rights.

I've stuck with the LL and haven't regretted it=T
With LL and the orc racial, I have 32 exp, but I gain more of the same stats on each weapon with the higher ilevel titanguard, plus slightly harder hitting devasates but lose 5 exp rating. which would be better in your opinion
I've stuck with the LL and haven't regretted it=T
READ THIS: Posting & Chat Rules
I stuck with LL as well, when you compare the stats, I really didn't think that it would have been considered an upgrade with losing the racial. At least for me, I found I held a much better balance of stats keeping LL. It's all a matter of what works best for you I suppose.
It's really just trading DPS for expertise...and using a fairy sword when you could be using a manly axe.
Up to you, really...
I never got a chance to tank 25 man KT so of course I never got LL (I was raiding with my mage for a few months). So, when I got Titanguard I was very happy, but being an Orc I think if I ever went into Naxx again and had a chance on LL, I'd roll on it and use it. I love axes, but my Titanguard is no fairy sword, it's a manly sword that has pure energy running down the blade for epic hits.
For orc warrior:
Last Laugh ---> Sorthalis ---> Ardent Guard
Crommi | Archaic Order | Lightning's Blade EU
Crommi | Archaic Order | Lightning's Blade EU
I'd say Hellscream Slicer would be far, far better for an Orc warrior. The buff to devastate makes it really tasty, but the fact that a lot of tank gear is really lacking hit rating makes it that bit tastier.

love this ring I've had it for 2 years and I get a ton of compliments, love it!
Pretty ring for the price but for me the stones were way too small and I wanted acqua blue diamonds (as shown) not navy blue so they look like sapphires. Good quality though.
This is a beautiful ring. As noted above, the blue diamonds are definitely darker than in the picture, much closer to the other blue diamonds pictured on the sight. It catches sun light beautifully though!
