Struts is a popular open source foundation designed to make complex Web applications easier to create and maintain. The Struts framework supports the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern and addresses many important application design and implementation considerations. To carry out page navigation in portal applications, WebSphere® Portal V5 provides tags that can be used by JavaServer Pages (JSPs) in developing both typical portlets and Struts portlets. This article focuses on the Struts framework's capability to create multiple modules, and how to implement page navigation methodology from JSPs in a sample Struts portlet application.
Our focus will be on two complementary methodologies:
- How to implement page navigation from a JSP using one of the JSP tags available
in WebSphere Portal
We will look at a sample application, including screen shots of the development environment and portal resources, as well as code samples for the page navigation methodology. - How to use the multiple module support built into the Struts portlet
framework to organize Web navigation
We will look at code samples that illustrate how to perform multiple Struts module switching in a portal environment using the page navigation feature.
This article assumes you have a basic understanding of Struts applications, including how to build a Struts application in WebSphere Studio Application Developer, how to deploy Struts as a portlet, and an understanding of portal resources within WebSphere Portal. (See Resources for more information in these areas.)
The following products are used in the development and deployment of our sample application:
- WebSphere Portal V5.x
- WebSphere Application Server v5.x
- WebSphere Studio Application Developer v5.0.1 (hereafter called Application Developer) with Struts Version 1.1 support.
The development tasks explained in this article for implementing page navigation can be used for both standard portlets and Struts portlets.
Application overview
In our sample application, we will be working with three portlets located on three different pages. When a user selects a link in one of the portlets, the user will be directed to another page where another portlet resides. The example we develop and refer to throughout this article will take advantage of multiple Struts modules to incorporate WebSphere Portal page navigation tags into each module's own JSP files in the portal environment. Figure 1 shows a high level illustration of how the sample application will work; our sample application will be deliberately simple to maintain focus on understanding these methodologies. Application details will be provided later.
Figure 1. High level view of our sample application
Building the navigation structure
WebSphere Portal provides its own JSP tags for use by portlet JSPs. One of these tags, <wps:URLGeneration attribute="value"/>
, is used to create links to pages from anywhere in the portal. We use one of the attributes of this tag, contentNode="id|name"
, to create URLs to different pages for building the navigation structure. This attribute takes a unique identifier (name of the content node) to specify the page where the portlet can be found. (See Resources for more information about this tag.)
In WebSphere Portal, select Administration => Portal Settings => Custom Unique Names. We use the Custom Unique Names administrative portlet to obtain unique identifiers for our portal resources to be specified for the contentNode
attribute. Administrators can use the Custom Unique Names portlet to view
unique identifiers and assign custom (human readable) names to portal resources.
Figure 2 shows unique identifiers and custom names for these configured
sample pages:
Figure 2. Custom Unique Names portlet
In this example, WebSphere Portal assigned these pages with the unique identifiers 6_0_LT
and 6_0_IP
, respectively. (Your values will differ.) We also configured custom names for these sample pages to make them easier to read and work with, and used these custom names (rather than the unique identifiers) in our JSP files.
Inside the body of the <wps:URLGeneration attribute="value"/>
portlet JSP tag, the <% wpsURL %>
scripting variable can be used to write the URL directly to the output
stream. In the example, we will use the following JSP code to create a
link to our Struts Receiver pages from one of our JSPs:
<wps:urlGeneration contentNode="Struts_Receiver_Page"> <A HREF="<%wpsURL.write(out);%>"style="text-decoration:none" > Any text </wps:urlGeneration>
The <wps:URLGeneration attribute="value"/>
portlet JSP tag belongs to the engine.tld
tag library, which is used by the portal server engine. To make this portal
JSP tag available for our JSP we added the tag library directive, taglib
, at the very beginning of our JSP page. As shown in the following code,
all the engine.tld
tags in our sample are now accessible through prefix wps
<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/tld/engine.tld" prefix="wps" %>
Sample page and portlet configuration
The page navigation piece of the sample application includes three portlets (the long names are provided to help emphasize the page navigation flow):
- Overview Struts Portlet:
Displays two links to direct the user request to pages containing either phone numbers or address information, and resides on theStruts_Test
page (custom name:Struts_Test_Page
), as shown in Figure 3:Figure 3. Overview Struts Portlet on Struts_Test page
- Receive Phone Numbers Request Struts Portlet:
Displays phone numbers of users, and resides on theStruts_Receiver_2
page (custom name:Struts_Receiver_2_Page
), as shown in Figure 4:Figure 4. Receive Phone Numbers Request Struts Portlet on Struts_Receiver_2 page
- Receive Address Request Struts Portlet:
Displays user address information, and resides on theStruts_Receiver
page (custom name:Struts_Receiver_Page
), as shown in Figure 5:Figure 5. Receive Address Request Struts Portlet on Struts_Receiver page
Remember, all the tasks described so far can be used for both regular portlet or Struts portlet development. Next, we will implement page navigation using portal JSP tags in multiple Struts modules.
Using multiple module support in Struts
Struts Version 1.1 allows us to split a single Struts application into multiple modules, each with its own actions, JSP pages, and Struts configuration files (Figure 6). Implementing multiple Struts modules in a Struts application requires several steps:
- Create separate Struts configuration files along with Struts actions and JSPs for each application module.
- Configure the Web Deployment Descriptor (
). - Switch from one module to another.
You will need to perform additional steps to run your Struts application in a portal environment, although the Struts application is easily adaptable. (See Resources).
Figure 6. Multiple module support in a Struts application
Create separate Struts modules and files
For our sample application, we created four Struts modules along with their own Struts configuration files, actions, and JSPs. The Struts modules are:
We also configured web.xml
and portlet.xml
files and performed the switching from one module to another using the default
Next, we will explain the modifications required to our files based on the needs of our implementation.
Develop page navigation within our Struts modules
We implemented page navigation in three of our modules:
Except for slight differences, our development tasks for page navigation
are nearly identical in each of these modules. Therefore, we will explain
the tasks to accomplish page navigation for the overview
module, then describe the differences with the others. We will also explain
the development specifics of Struts module switching for the default
module. In our implementation, the default
module is used to forward control to the next appropriate module; page
navigation is not required. However, since it performs module switching
by launching other modules and is an integral part of the navigation structure,
we include it here as well.
In Application Developer, we created a Web project with Struts Version 1.1 support, then created files for our development tasks, as shown in Table 1 below.
Table 1. List of developed artifacts
Below are brief descriptions of the artifacts shown in Table 1:
- JSP files:
We developed five JSP files:index.jsp
files for thedefault
for theaddress
for thephone-numbers
for theoverview
- Actions:
We created four Struts actions in thecom.test.strutstest.actions
package. Their classes are:- DisplayAction
- DisplayAddressInfoAction
- DisplayPhoneInfoAction
- OverviewAction.
- Form beans:
We created two form beans in thecom.test.strutstest.forms
package. Their classes are:UserFormBean
- Backend bean and Model class:
We used a backend bean class, UserBean, and a model class, UserBeanHelper, in thecom.test.strutstest.beans
package. (The backend bean contains stub data, and does not communicate to an actual backend.) - Struts configuration files:
We developed fourstruts-config.xml
files, one for each module:WEB-INF/struts-config.xml
for thedefault
for theaddress
for thephone-numbers
for theoverview
- Other configuration files:
Modifications are required toweb.xml
files when deploying a Struts application as a portlet.
Each of the above configuration files includes the following Request Processor:
<controller processorClass="com.ibm.wps.portlets.struts.WpsRequestProcessor" >
Figure 7 shows the location of the developed artifacts within the Application Developer development environment:
Figure 7. Location of developed artifacts in Application Developer
Configure the default module
To launch the default
module and see how it performs switching between our Struts modules:
- The default module is launched when WebSphere Portal invokes the
file, specified in theweb.xml
file within the<welcome-file-list>
tag:<welcome-file-list> <welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file> </welcome-file-list>
- When
is invoked, the logical forward name,Display
, is specified in thelogic
Struts tag:<logic:forward name="Display"/>
- The
file, the logicalforward name
, which isDisplay
, is defined as a global forward:<global-forwards> <forward name="Display" path="/display.do"/> </global-forwards>
- Within the
section, the logical global forward context relative path,path
, matches the context relative path,path="/display"
, of the action element in the<action-mappings>
section. This matching path allows the action, DisplayAction, to be launched. The action mappings section, including the<action>
element withpath
attributes, is shown below:<action-mappings> <action path="/display" type="com.test.strutstest.actions.DisplayAction"> ................................................. </action> </action-mappings>
To enable module switching, configure the default
module's struts-config.xml, portlet.xml
and struts-config.xml
files for the remaining modules:
- Configure
for thedefault
module. We used DisplayAction as our action class, and four local logical forwards:<action-mappings> <action path="/display" type="com.test.strutstest.actions.DisplayAction"> <forward name="failure" contextRelative="true" path="/failure.jsp"/> <forward name="address" contextRelative="true" path="/address/start.do"/> <forward name="phone-numbers" contextRelative="true" path="/phone-numbers/start.do"/> <forward name="overview" contextRelative="true" path="/overview/start.do"/> </action> </action-mappings>
- Configure the
file to comply with the configuration in thedefault
file. Specifically, each of the four logical forward names in thedefault
file needs to match the values of theview.forward
configuration parameter settings in theportlet.xml
file. (Theview.forward
parameter will be used in our module switching code to define the action mapping for the specific portlet instance.) The mapping toview.forward
is shown in Table 2:Table 2. view.forward configuration values vs. forward name configuration values
- Configure the
file to define the different modules. We used theconfig
initialization parameter to tell the action servlet about ourdefault
module; however, for each additional module, we list an initialization parameter namedconfig/module
, wheremodule
is our module name. For example:- To define the
module:<init-param> <param-name>config</param-name> <param-value>WEB-INF/struts-config.xml</param-value> </init-param>
- To define the other modules:
<init-param> <param-name>config/address</param-name> <param-value>WEB-INF/address/struts-config.xml </param-value> </init-param> <init-param> <param-name>config/phone-numbers</param-name> <param-value>WEB-INF/phone-numbers/struts-config.xml </param-value> </init-param> <init-param> <param-name>config/overview</param-name> <param-value>WEB-INF/overview/struts-config.xml </param-value> </init-param>
(See Resources for other module configurations and required
configuration settings.) - To define the
- Perfom the standard updates to the
files to deploy the Struts application as a portlet . (See Resources and the sampleweb.xml
files in the Download section for more information.)
Module switching will take place in the DisplayAction class, as configured in the <action-mapping>
section of the default
module's struts-config.xml
file. To determine which module will be invoked by WebSphere Portal:
- When the execute() method of the DisplayAction class is invoked, the
parameter set in theportlet.xml
file is accessed:PortletSettings portletSettings = request.getPortletSettings(); String viewForward = portletSettings.getAttribute("view.forward");
- For our portlets, the
parameter will have the following values:Table 3. Values of view.forward configuration parameter for sample portlets
- If
is null, this variable is set tofailure
in the execute() method. - A forward mapping for the configured
value is retrieved from thestruts-config.xml
file:ActionForward forward = new ActionForward(); try { forward = mapping.findForward(forwardName); } catch (Exception e) { ........................................... }
- The last step in the execute() method returns the instance of ActionForward,
:return (forward);
- If
Configure the other struts-config.xml
files. Based on the result of module determination within the DisplayAction class, if the view.forward
parameter value is:
The matching
path in the<action-mappings>
section of thedefault
file will let DisplayAddressInfoAction be invoked in theaddress
module. This process requires using theaddress/struts-config.xml
file, as configured inweb.xml
. Theaddress/struts-config.xml
file includes the following settings: <global-forwards> <forward name="start" path="/start.do"/> </global-forwards>  <action-mappings> <action path="/start" type="com.test.strutstest.actions.DisplayAddressInfoAction" name="userFormBean" scope="request"> <forward name="success" path="/address.jsp"/> </action </action-mappings>
The matching
path in the <action-mappings> section of thedefault
file will let DisplayPhoneInfoAction be invoked in thephone-numbers
module. This process requires using thephone-numbers/struts-config.xml
file, as configured inweb.xml
file. Thephone-numbers/struts-config.xml
file includes the following settings: <global-forwards> <forward name="start" path="/start.do"/> </global-forwards>  <action-mappings> <action path="/start" type="com.test.strutstest.actions.DisplayPhoneInfoAction" name="userFormBean" scope="request"> <forward name="success" path="/phone-numbers.jsp"/> </action </action-mappings>
The matching
path in the <action-mappings> section of thedefault
file will let OverviewAction be invoked in theoverview
module. This process requires using theoverview/struts-config.xml
file, as configured inweb.xml
file. Theoverview/struts-config.xml
file includes the following settings: <global-forwards> <forward name="start" path="/start.do"/> </global-forwards>  <action-mappings> <action path="/start" type="com.test.strutstest.actions.OverviewAction" name="overviewFormBean" scope="request"> <forward name="success" path="/Overview.jsp"/> </action> </action-mappings>
will be launched, as configured in thedefault
We have, so far, created the files listed in Table 1 and modified most
of them as required by our example. Now we are ready to start writing the
code to implement page navigation using the overview
module. The next section guides you through the steps.
Develop the overview module
To create the Overview.jsp
file, the OverviewAction class, the OverviewFormBean class and the overview/struts-config.xml
file to develop the Overview
Struts portlet, follow these development
tasks in the action class and JSP file(s):
- Once the control comes to the
module from thedefault
module, the execute() method of the OverviewAction class performs these tasks:- Access the
form bean and set these attributes:try { String forwardName = null; if (form == null) { form = (ActionForm) request.getAttribute("overviewFormBean"); } //Set-up form bean fields OverviewFormBean formBean = (OverviewFormBean) form; formBean.setPhoneNumbersLinkName("List Phone Numbers"); formBean.setAddressLinkName("Address Information"); ...................................................
- Store the form bean in the correct scope:
try { //Store the bean in the correct scope if ("request".equals(mapping.getScope())) request.setAttribute(mapping.getName(), formBean); else session.setAttribute(mapping.getName(), formBean); } catch (Exception e) { .................................. }
- Find a mapping from
and return anActionForward
type of object:String forwardName = null; ActionForward forward = new ActionForward(); ....................................... //If no errors occur then look for "success" try { forward = mapping.findForward(forwardName); if (forward != null) { ..................................... } else ..................................... } catch(Exception e) { ................................... } return (forward);
- If there are no errors in the action class processing, then the forward name success will allow
to be launched according to our configuration in theoverview/struts-config.xml
- Access the
displays two links to other developed portlets, Receive Phone Numbers Request Struts Portlet and Receive Address Request Struts Portlet. We use the page navigation methodology and Struts tags to implement this characteristic:- Use the
directive at the very beginning of the JSP page to make all of theengine.tld
tags available to the rest of the JSP with theprefix.wps
:<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/tld/engine.tld" prefix="wps" %>
- Use the
parameter in the<wps:urlGeneration>
portlet tag to specify the unique identifiers or custom names of pages where the other portlets reside. To launch the page navigation to Receive Address Request Struts Portlet, which resides in the Struts_Receiver page, we use the custom name,Struts_Receiver_Page
:<wps:urlGeneration contentNode="Struts_Receiver_Page"> <A HREF="<%wpsURL.write(out);%>"style="text-decoration:none" > <bean:write name="overviewFormBean" property="addressLinkName" /> </wps:urlGeneration>
- To launch the page navigation to Receive Phone Numbers Request Struts Portlet, which resides in the
page, we use the custom name,Struts_Receiver_2_Page
:<wps:urlGeneration contentNode="Struts_Receiver_2_Page"> <A HREF="<%wpsURL.write(out);%>"style="text-decoration:none" > <bean:write name="overviewFormBean" property="phoneNumbersLinkName" /> </wps:urlGeneration>
- We obtained the custom names for our pages from the My Pages and unique names list, shown in Figure 2.
- Use the
- In the
module, we used<bean:write>,
Struts tags. Implementing these tags requires the following steps:- Declare the
prefixes:<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/tld/struts-html.tld" prefix="html" %> <%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/tld/struts-bean.tld" prefix="bean" %>
Struts tag: Renders an HTML element with appropriate language attributes if there is a current locale available in the user's session.
Struts tag: Used for all HTML form processing in Struts. Aform
element must always contain anaction
attribute. The action attribute must correspond to a valid action instruts-config.xml
. In theOverview.jsp
file, we used theform
element and itsaction
attribute:
attribute maps the following action in theoverview/struts-config.xml
file:<action-mappings> <action path="/start" type="com.test.strutstest.actions.OverviewAction" name="overviewFormBean" scope="request"> <forward name="success" path="/Overview.jsp"/> </action> </action-mappings>
This Struts tag ties the form fields to properties in Struts form beans. The form bean is located (or created, if necessary) based on the form bean specification for the associated ActionMapping. Our form bean defined in
file isUserFormBean
:<form-beans> <form-bean name="overviewFormBean" type="com.test.strutstest.forms.OverviewFormBean"/> </form-beans>
- Use of the
Struts tag:This general purpose tag is used to output property values from a bean. Within the
file it displays<bean:write>
to display text data set in theUserFormBean
form bean. We use this tag to display some of the properties ofUserFormBean
, as shown below:<bean:write name="overviewFormBean" property="addressLinkName" /> <bean:write name="overviewFormBean" property="phoneNumbersLinkName" />
- Declare the
Developing the remaining modules
Developing the address
and phone-numbers
modules is very similar to the overview
module, with the following exceptions:
- The
module implements the Receive Address Request Struts Portlet using:address.jsp
- DisplayAddressInfoAction class
- UserFormBean form bean class
- UserBean backend bean class
- UserBeanHelper model class
- The
module implements the Receive Phone Numbers Request Struts Portlet using:phone-numbers.jsp
- DisplayPhoneInfoAction class
- UserFormBean form bean class
- UserBean backend bean class
- UserBeanHelper model class
We use the backend UserBean bean class and the UserBeanHelper model class for the address
and phone-numbers
modules, both of which need to mimic the user information using stub data
set in the backend bean using our module class. Both of the modules use
the same form bean.
To develop the address
module within the DisplayAddressInfoAction class:
Once the control comes to the address
module from the default
module, the execute() method of the DisplayAddressInfoAction class performs the following tasks:
- Access the form bean,
, and set the following attributes:try { String forwardName = null; if (form == null) { form = (ActionForm) request.getAttribute("userFormBean"); } //Set-up form bean fields UserFormBean formBean = (UserFormBean) form; setFormBean(formBean); ...................................................
- Store the form bean in the correct scope:
try { ........................................ //Store the bean in the correct scope if ("request".equals(mapping.getScope())) request.setAttribute(mapping.getName(), formBean); else session.setAttribute(mapping.getName(), formBean); } catch (Exception e) { .................................. }
- Find a mapping from
and return anActionForward
type of object:String forwardName = null; ActionForward forward = new ActionForward(); ....................................... //If no errors occur then look for "success" try { forward = mapping.findForward(forwardName); if (forward != null) { ..................................... } else ..................................... } catch(Exception e) { ................................... } return (forward);
- Call
setFormBean(UserFormBean formBean)
. This method gets the single instance of the model:UserBeanHelper userBeanHelper = UserBeanHelper.getInstance();
This instance populates the backend data, sets an instance object of
, and returns this object using this method call:UserFormBean userFormBean = userBeanHelper.getUserFormBean();
This method sets the attributes of the
with the appropriate getter and setter methods, as shown below using the object instance returned from the model:public void setFormBean(UserFormBean formBean) { UserBeanHelper userBeanHelper = UserBeanHelper.getInstance(); UserFormBean userFormBean = userBeanHelper.getUserFormBean(); //These two parameters are just text values to be displayed on the browser formBean.setAddress("Address"); formBean.setUserName("UserName"); //Setting the formBean object attributes with data obtained from the backend formBean.setAddressValues(userFormBean.getAddressValues()); formBean.setUserNameValues(userFormBean.getUserNameValues()); }
If there are no errors in action class processing, then the forward name
will launch the address.jsp
file to be launched according to our configuration in the address/struts-config.xml
file for the address
The steps above are repeated for the phone-number
module with appropriate changes.
Page navigation
Both the address.jsp
and phone-numbers.jsp
files for Receive Address Request Struts Portlet and Receive Phone Numbers Request Struts Portlet perform page navigation by using the Overview Struts Portlet and Struts tags:
- Use the
tag library directive at the very beginning of the JSP page to make all of theengine.tld
tags available to the rest of the JSP with theprefix.wps
.<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/tld/engine.tld" prefix="wps" %>
- Invoke page navigation to the Overview Struts Portlet using the
parameter in the<wps:urlGeneration>
portlet tag. This requires specifying a custom name or a unique identifier of the page Struts_Test where Overview Struts Portlet resides. We use the custom name Struts_Test_Page, which was obtained from the My Pages and unique names list, shown in Figure 2.<wps:urlGeneration contentNode="Struts_Test_Page"> <A href="<%wpsURL.write(out);%>" style="text-decoration: none"> Go to Overview Struts Portlet </wps:urlGeneration>
- In our implementation, we used the
Struts tag on bothaddress.jsp
. This tag iterates the elements of a collection, which can be either an attribute or the property of an attribute:- Declare the
prefix:<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/tld/struts-logic.tld" prefix="logic" %>
- Use
Struts tag; we use theuserNameValues String
array inUserFormBean
action form. The following code displays user names set in the action form:<logic:iterate id="test" name="userFormBean" property="userNameValues" indexId="index">
- Declare the
Setting up the development environment and sample code installation
To create your development environment with Application
Developer, use the formation provided in Developing a Struts Application for WebSphere Portal 4.2 and Writing a Simple Struts Application using WebSphere Studio V5. You will need to import the StrutsTest.war
file from the Download section into Application Developer
and use all of its JAR files. Installing the sample code on WebSphere Portal
does not require any special setup; you can either use the included WAR
file or a new WAR file, whichever you prefer.
This article described the page navigation feature provided by WebSphere Portal through the use of one of its portlet tags in combination with the multiple module support provided by the Struts Portal Framework. In our sample implementation, we built and configured an application using multiple module Struts support. To perform page navigation, we created portal pages where we locate our applications, then incorporated the portlet JSP tags into the appropriate JSPs . We used custom names for our pages rather than the unique identifiers assigned by the portal server in our JSPs, making our JSP deployment independent.
Although our example was not a complex application, the framework that Struts provides can elegantly handle large and complex application flows. The multiple module support, which provides an individual set of files for each module supporting parallel development and better file organization, worked in harmony with the page navigation methodology provided by WebSphere Portal JSP tags.

Is America truly the land of opportunity for everyone, regardless of gender? Or are other places in the world more conducive to women's careers in the media? The answer to this question is more complex than you might think. If you subdivide the world into seven regions, you can get contradictions not just across different sides of the ocean, but within regions as well.

Northside Elementary Recommended for Reaccreditation
Northside Elementary School will be recommended for AdvancED reaccreditation by members of an external review team who visited the school Thursday and Friday, January 29-30.
"The External Review Team recommends to the AdvancED Accreditation Commission that Northside Elementary School earn the distinction of accreditation by AdvancED for a five year term that expires June 30, 2019," said Dr. Alice Patterson, AdvancED Lead Evaluator who addressed members of the administration, faculty, and WJLE at Northside Elementary in an exit report meeting Friday afternoon.
But while the school drew praise for advancements, the team cited an improvement priority that must be addressed within two years. "You know you need additional resources for your students regarding mental and emotional health needs. You know this is an area in which you are not at a standard you want to be or should be, where students need to be. This will be what has to be reported to AdvancED and you will have two years to rectify this area for improvement," said Dr. Patterson.
The AdvancED external review team, made up of five Middle Tennessee educators, met with eighty six stakeholders including administrators, teachers, parents, students, school board members, and others in conducting its two day evaluation. Northside Elementary was evaluated in three domains "Teaching and Learning Impact on Student Performance", "Capacity of Leadership to guide and ensure effectiveness in carrying out the strategic direction of the institution", and "Utilization of Resources".
According to Dr. Patterson, the Index of Education Quality results for Northside Elementary School indicate that it is performing within acceptable ranges as compared to the expected criteria as well as with other institutions in the AdvancED Network nationally. " We take the three domains and use all of our data and standards indicators to make the connection between what we found locally to a national ranking," she said.
*Northside's overall IEQ score was 284.62 compared to the AdvancED Network Average of 282.79 (All schools in the network nationally)
*Teaching and Learning Impact on student performance: Northside IEQ Score:285.71. AE Network Average 274.14
*Capacity of Leadership to guide and ensure effectiveness in carrying out the strategic direction of the institution. Northside IEQ Score: 292.73. AE Network 296.08.
*Resource Utilization: Northside Elementary Score: 268.57. AE Network Average 286.32.
While Northside Elementary's score in Resource Utilization is below the national AdvancED network average, the school has two years to make improvements. "You have an improvement priority which will address that. When your review comes back that will have been addressed and that is going to bring that report up more to the national average. Improvement priorities must be addressed within two years," said Dr. Patterson.
A written external report will be prepared and sent to the State AdvancED headquarters in Nashville and to the regional office in Atlanta for final action on the recommendation. It will be several weeks before Northside is informed of the decision on reaccreditation.
Dr. Gayle Redmon, Principal at Northside Elementary thanked Dr. Patterson and members of the external review committee as well as the Northside teachers and assistant principal Beth Pafford. "Dr. Patterson on behalf of Northside, our parents, and our community we would like to thank you so very much. You have been a fabulous team to work with and you are welcome to come and visit our school at any time. We appreciate you and the hard work you have done. I think we are a great school. I tell our teachers all the time that they are the hardest working bunch of people I've ever been around. But it is so nice to occasionally have someone come in and take a good look at us. And we're so glad you think we are (a great school) too. I want to thank our parents for coming back today. We have two school board members here (Doug Stephens and Shaun Tubbs) and Dwayne Page from our radio station. We're delighted to have him here as well. And teachers, as always, I can't tell you how much I appreciate the hard work that you do. And I couldn't do this without Ms. Pafford. She turns out more work than anybody I know," said Dr. Redmon.
Members of the AdvancED External Review Team who visited Northside Elementary School Thursday and Friday, in addition to Lead Evaluator Dr. Alice Patterson were Sharon Anderson from Putnam County; Adelaide Nicholson, a Nashville School Principal; Craig Lynn, Principal at White County Middle School; and Scott Gaines, Assistant Director of Maury County Schools in Columbia. Dr. Patterson also serves on the faculty at Trevecca Nazarene University and the School of Education in Nashville.
The AdvancED Network was created as a result of a merger of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools with the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. "Several years ago SACS merged with North Central and created AdvancED which was the K-12 component for accreditation purposes. AdvancED is now a global leader in providing continuous improvement and accreditation services to over 32,000 institutions serving 20 million students worldwide. Our office is in Atlanta, Georgia serving this region. Our state office is in Nashville," said Dr. Patterson.
DeKalb Middle, DeKalb West, and Smithville Elementary are also to be evaluated for reaccreditation this year. DCHS was reaccredited last year.

Newcastle manager Alan Pardew was in a chipper mood after defeating Tottenham Hotspur on the opening weekend of the season. "I don't think you can underestimate the importance of that win," he said, his team having triumphed in a tight contest settled by Hatem Ben Arfa's penalty. He was referring to the spirit and resilience of his side; he can hardly have imagined at that stage that the win would be important for being one of only four in the season's first 16 matches. This weekend Newcastle hosts Manchester City and finishes the month with daunting trips to Manchester United and Arsenal -- and the Jan. 2 visit of Everton looks barely more inviting.No wonder Pardew has spoken this week about the club looking over its shoulder: Newcastle sits two points above relegation and is winless away from home. Pardew's team is 10 points worse off than at this stage last season and yet is fortunate to have accumulated some of the points it has. Everton, Reading and West Bromwich Albion can all feel hard done by in their meetings with Newcastle, though Newcastle might finger the Tyne-Wear derby and the recent trip to Stoke as its own hard-luck stories. Having finished fifth last season, above Chelsea, this was not what the fans hoped for from the new campaign.Some of them will say this is just what they expected, though, after a summer in which low-cost deals for Gael Bigirimana (£1 million) and Vurnon Anita (£6 million) involved the club's most significant transfer outlay. For all the talk of that £35 million price tag hanging around Andy Carroll's neck, it has weighed just as heavy on Tyneside as supporters wait to see the full sum reinvested. Owner Mike Ashley remains unpopular, and a conservative summer -- holding on to the players who starred last season was the main business -- coupled with the eight-year contracts given to Pardew and his staff has led to accusations of complacency (and that's just from the people putting it politely)."Fans are getting a bit of a misconception about us," is Pardew's response. "There is a suggestion we're not working as hard or something like that. It's absolutely ridiculous. You actually work harder in these periods. It's not a question of security, or money, it's about winning. We want to win. We are hurting, all of us. Mike Ashley wanted stability at the club and that was his point with the contract."Certainly managers should not be expected to live in constant fear of being handed their P45s, and no doubt there are fans at some of the Premier League's top clubs who would love to see youngsters given the chances that players such as Shane Ferguson and Sammy Ameobi have been, even if Pardew's hand has been forced by circumstance. The manager continues to keep track of the recovery of 18-year-old defender Remie Streete, insisting he already has the qualities to play first-team football. These are not the kind of arguments that many people would want to be first at hand with the club limping toward the January transfer window, however. No one wants to hear about long-term squad development when injuries to key players have been so costly.In the second week of the season Newcastle was simply outclassed by Chelsea in its early pomp, but in the 1-1 draw with Aston Villa that followed, the absence of Cheik Tiote had a tangible impact, as it did against Liverpool when the defensive midfielder was suspended in the wake of his derby-day sending off. Against Manchester United, Newcastle was missing goalkeeper Tim Krul as well as the central defenders Steven Taylor and Fabricio Coloccini; within 15 minutes the Manchester side was two goals up, both headers scored with ease from corners. Set pieces have continued to be a problem for Pardew's side. Taylor's return cannot come soon enough. Otherwise it is here that some of the money Pardew has suggested is earmarked for January must be spent. Newcastle perhaps had the chances to beat Swansea City in mid-November, but without Papiss Cisse, Yohan Cabaye and even the increasingly maligned Jonas Gutierrez, the team played most of its football in front of the Swansea lines. A week later Southampton thrilled in the absence of both Ben Arfa (Newcastle's principle fire-starter this season and a huge miss for Saturday's game against Manchester City) and Cabaye, but the recent 3-0 win over Wigan Athletic came with both off the pitch, and plenty of disappointing results have come with the pair on it."We're a strong side who are underperforming," Pardew said. "But the injuries and the suspensions and the Europa League ... you can't say that hasn't had an impact." No, we can't, and yet the first part of the manager's assessment also needs addressing: Newcastle has lost its groove. Too often this season it has looked disorganized, struggling for rhythm. The suggestion that the team simply took everybody by surprise last season and is thus easier to play this time around lacks nuance; the inhibition of Newcastle's slick, short passing game has often had as much to do with the failure of players to exploit the space available.When Everton lost to Newcastle last season, manager David Moyes commented on the confidence of Pardew's team compared to his own. "We've got a lot of things missing from our game but, when you start losing matches, you begin seeing weaknesses in yourself," Moyes said.Newcastle's convincing win over Wigan is supposed to be struck from consideration because Maynor Figueroa was sent off after 12 minutes, leaving things 11-versus-10 for the vast majority, but it was still a match that Newcastle should try to suck every last bit of confidence from. It seems foolish to ignore the performances of Sylvain Marveaux and Vurnon Anita, because there have been doubts about each, and each played well enough to suggest (if not confirm) that Pardew has more options than his persistence with Gutierrez and second-half switches to 4-4-2 indicate. Fans and neutrals alike are writing off three out of Newcastle's next four fixtures, so there seems little to be lost in giving Marveaux a run on the left, either behind or in place of Demba Ba (Cisse is, surely, the best choice for the central role in Newcastle's front three, and Ben Arfa would keep his place to the right). The supply from that area of the pitch would be improved considerably, even on a bad day. If Ba does leave in January, and the rumor mill continues to whir round on that one, Newcastle may absorb the blow better for it. If he does not, it could be Cabaye's return from a groin injury that gives the manager a selection headache, for a change. Promoted Stories Comments More Soccer

This rug has sheen to it and depending on what side of the rug you are on, it looks different. It looks greyish and taupe. The sheen looks like powder sometimes. You can brush in one direction and it looks different if you brush in the other direction. There is a hint of green deep in the design. It is a very plush rug and seems good quality. We hope the roll lines smooth out over time. We have rolled it design-side out to even out the lines from being rolled design-side in. It really is pretty.
A really lovely elegant and understated pattern which gives it a really rich appearance and goes very well with either contemporary or traditional room .. Highly recommend

If you have played the previous High School Musical games on the DS I believe that High School Musical 2: Work This Out! maybe a bit of a disappointment to you. The final version definitely could have used a few more months back in the shop and one cannot help but wonder if Disney even put together some focus groups prior to the release of the game. Sadly, I struggle with the idea this was the best Disney could do with this game as High School Musical 2: Work This Out! for the DS is far from top notch.
Pocket Gamer UK
So the burning question is whether it's still one to buy if you loved the films. Well, play for long enough and you'll unlock an album's worth of music. And while the mini-games are frustrating, it's hard to fail most of them on the easiest difficulty setting. If you've got a pair of headphones to spare everyone else in the room (unless you've found someone willing to play multiplayer with you, which thankfully only needs a single copy of the game), then High School Musical 2: Work This Out! is a fine enough way to live the film on your DS. But if you're looking for some music-based fun, there are far better experiences to be had – Elite Beat Agents might be a better place to begin.
In the interest of delivering an objective review we did test the game on several members of the target demographic (pre-teen girls), and the reactions ranged from lukewarm to mild disappointment. The difficulty of some mini-games and the repetitive music drew negative comments from our discerning young gamers, although they did enjoy recognising faces from the movie. Compared to the movie – and indeed the previous game, High School Musical 2: Work This Out! falls well short of our expectations. The replay factor just isn't there, and once you get past that new game honeymoon period, chances are you will probably set it aside for good.
Seriously, what the crap Disney and A2M? You already made a High School Musical game that wasn't terrible. It wasn't great, but it was fun enough for kids and had a lot of appeal for fans of the movie. How did you manage to screw up the sequel so bad? The sad thing is that it seems like it took more work to make this game so clunky, boring, poor looking and tedious. The fact that the original soundtrack is infinitely superior is reason enough to buy the first game over this embarrassing sequel, plus you also don't have to suffer through horrible sandwich making minigames.
Game Shark
HSM 2 had an interesting premise going for it; the Lava Springs Resort is laid out well. Apparently all of the cartridge's memory went towards the audio because there is no plot, there is no fun gameplay and the game is just too redundant to enjoy at all, even for the diehard HSM fans. Stay away from this game—you have been warned.

Earlier versions of the 45 head, to my understanding and from research done on the web, were similar, and the DDS head, again, to my understanding, had the same problem with the now obsolete optoisolator. The Dual Dichro (not"S", for internally stabilized) wasn't so afflicted. This was the model with the seperate stabilized voltage supply. I came across a guy who was supposed to be able to fix the various incarnations of the 45 & 23 heads (including the much more complex later ones) but by the time I found him, I'd solved my problem by picking up a used DD head on that bay thing.
BTW, the older head was two and a half stops faster than the DDS; same voltage and lamp wattage, different lamp.

"American Idol" winner Phillip Phillips earns the highest debut on the Digital Songs chart this week as his "Home" bows at No. 2 with 278,000 downloads sold according to Nielsen SoundScan.
Even better: It's the second-best digital sales week ever for any "Idol" contestant. Only Kelly Clarkson [1]'s 2009 song "My Life Would Suck Without You" had a bigger frame, when it debuted with 280,000 downloads.
That may come as a surprise, considering the lengthy careers -- and stellar sales -- of such successful "Idols" as Clarkson and Carrie Underwood [2]. Underwood's best sales week for a song came in 2009, when her "I Told You So" (featuring Randy Travis [3]) started with 125,000.
'American Idol' Has Lowest-Rated Finale Ever [4]
"Home" also marks the biggest sales week for any "Idol" winner's coronation single since SoundScan began tracking downloads in 2003. It surpasses David Cook [5]'s "The Time Of My Life," which debuted with 236,000 in 2008.
Before downloads replaced the CD single as the predominant format for buying songs, two other "Idol" finalists had larger sales weeks than Phillips with their season-finale singles.
At the end of "Idol's" second season in 2003, Clay Aiken [6]'s "This Is The Night" CD single launched with 393,000 in its first full week of sales. Meanwhile, winner Ruben Studdard [7] saw his "Flying Without Wings" start with 286,000.
Phillips' arrival this week is also the fourth-largest debut of the year. It trails Justin Bieber [8]'s "Boyfriend" (521,000), Maroon 5 [9]'s "Payphone" featuring Wiz Khalifa [10] (493,000) and Katy Perry [11]'s "Part of Me" (411,000).
Justin Bieber Releases 'Die In Your Arms' Song: Listen [12]
Phillips also debuts on Digital Songs at No. 41 with "We've Got Tonight" (43,000) and No. 54 with "Volcano" (35,000).
As a note: The weekly sales of songs by "American Idol's" contestants are withheld from SoundScan (and from appearing in the iTunes Store's own popularity lists) while its TV season is in progress. Fox and "Idol" does this in order to keep from influencing the voting public in the course of the season. Once the show has concluded, the sales are then reported to SoundScan, and in turn, Billboard. The sales reported this week are only for the week ending May 27. They are not for the entire season.
As for the rest of the top 10 on the Digital Songs chart this week, Carly Rae Jepsen [13]'s "Call Me Maybe" sits tight at No. 1 for a second frame, selling 301,000 (up 3%). Maroon 5's "Payphone" holds at No. 3 (265,000; down 6%) and Gotye [14]'s "Somebody That I Used to Know" (featuring Kimbra) drops two spots to No. 4 (just under 264,000; down 9%).
Nicki Minaj [15]'s "Starships" falls one to No. 5 (153,000; down 12%) and fun. [16]'s "We Are Young" (featuring Janelle Monae [17]) is down 5-6 (149,000; down 8%). Pitbull [18]'s "Men in Black III" theme "Back In Time" jumps 11-7 with 147,000 (up 47%) and Rihanna [19]'s "Where Have You Been" climbs 13-8 (146,000; up 48%). The latter was performed by the diva on the May 23 season finale of "American Idol." Pitbull's tune benefits from "MIB's" opening in U.S. theaters on Friday, May 25.
Justin Bieber's "Boyfriend" slips 7-9 (144,000; up less than 1%) and Flo Rida [20]'s "Wild Ones" (featuring Sia [21]) closes out the top 10 at No. 10 -- down four spots -- with 135,000 (down 11%).
Digital track sales this past week totaled 25.98 million downloads, up 4% compared to last week (24.95 million) and up 5% stacked next to the comparable week of 2011 (24.69 million). Year to date track sales are at 571.28 million, up 7% compared to the same total at this point last year (536.14 million).

We will provide a 6- to 24-month holistic, transitional living program based on a working farm for up to 12 women leaving North Carolina prisons. Residents will be partially self-supporting through growing their own food, their labor contribution to the farm, and the sale of harvests through local farmers markets, a Community Supported Agriculture program, and sales to restaurants and institutions. We will provide a portion of our harvest to low-income communities through partnerships with food banks and churches. We are seeking additional support through donations and grants.
Programming will include: entrepreneurship and small business skills, career building, financial literacy, family reunification, agriculture, horticulture and permaculture, food preparation and presentation, value-added production, nutrition and wellness, addiction recovery support, diverse food traditions, and community building.
Our mission is to provide an opportunity for women leaving prison to live and work on a farm where they grow food, nourish self, and foster community.
Benevolence Farm seeks to enable women to return to their chosen community with the knowledge and tools necessary to live independently and successfully.

text: Set on a bay on vast Lake Onega, Petrozavodsk is the launching point for summer visits to two of the region's biggest attractions: Kizhi Island and Valaam Monastery. The name ('Peter's factory') refers to a munitions plant founded here by Peter the Great in 1703, superseded 70 years later by the Alexandrovskiy Ironworks (still standing). But Petrozavodsk is by no means the gritty, industrial city its name would suggest. Its neoclassical facades, a large student population and connections with Finland all make for a distinctly European atmosphere, and the appealing lakefront promenade is just made for strolling.

RIVERDALE, N.Y. - The Providence College men's lacrosse team was defeated by Manhattan, 11-9, in non-conference action on Saturday, March 3 in Riverdale, N.Y. Sophomore Andrew Barton (Timonium, Md.) led the Friars with two goals and one assist in the loss. Seven other Friars scored goals, while senior Jake Nolan (Westport, Conn.) led Providence with two assists.
For Manhattan, Matt Thistle posted a game-high five points on three goals and two assists. Brian McGrath also tallied three goals for the Jaspers.
Manhattan got on the board first for a 1-0 lead with 13:03 on the clock in the first quarter. Providence tied the game, 1-1, at 10:52 as Barton connected on his first goal of the day, unassisted. The Jaspers closed out the quarter with three unanswered goals to take a 4-1 advantage.
In the second quarter, the Friars tied the game, 5-5, as Tim Modesti (Fairport, N.Y.) and Sean Wright (Silver Spring, Md.) tallied back-to-back goals at 13:35 and 9:10. The Jaspers snuck a goal in at 5:31, but Providence answered with another pair of goals from Niall Cahill (Troy, N.Y.) and Paul Carafello (Kinnelon, N.J.) at 5:21 and 4:01.
However, the Friars were unable to take the lead as Manhattan went ahead 6-5 with 2:24 left on the clock in the second. The Jaspers maintained their one-goal advantage heading into halftime.
Manhattan outscored the Friars, 3-1, in the third quarter and scored the first three goals of the fourth to take a commanding 11-6 lead with 9:20 to play. The Friars scored the final three goals of the game, but the deficit proved too great for Providence to overcome.
The Jaspers held the advantage in groundballs, 37-35. Manhattan also edge the Friars in face-offs with 17 victories in 24 face-off opportunities. The Friars were 3-of-5 in man-up scoring, while Manhattan was 1-of-2.

And earlier this week, analysts and suppliers heard briefings on the state of the industry at an aerospace convention in Lynnwood. Groupon's coffee buzz: Starbucks' CEO joins board, invests in site By KPLU News Staff • Feb 10, 2011 AP Howard Schultz announced his investment in the enormously popular consumer-discount site Groupon Thursday. At the same time, Groupon confirmed the Starbucks CEO's election to its board. TechFlash's John Cook reports Schultz' investment "is not connected to Starbucks": ...but having the leader of the world's leading specialty coffee retailer on the board certainly will add some interesting possibilities. Starbucks has been expanding its digital footprint aggressively in recent months, adding features such as mobile payments and free in-store wi-fi. Microsoft looking for more technical know-how at the top By Dave Meyer • Feb 9, 2011 Simon Bisson (sbisson) / flickr.com Microsoft wants more engineers leading the company.

By Austin Jenkins & KPLU News Staff • Feb 9, 2011 justmaketheshift.com Listen Listening... / Valentine's Day is just around the corner.

By Gary Davis • Feb 4, 2011 Elaine Thompson / AP Photo The future might be a bit brighter for aerospace workers in the Puget Sound region.

Change in stance First-ever tax amnesty for Washington businesses By Dave Meyer • Feb 1, 2011 Alan Cleaver (alancleaver_2000) / flickr.com Washington businesses with overdue taxes can now pay them off without penalties and interest.
