If I intend to create a set of API that will allow other developers to interact with my application, how should I structure this set of API in the sense of packaging?
I am considering this... For all the classes that runs my actual application, I have them in com.app.core So for all features of my actual application, I have them in com.app.core.products, com.app.core.events, com.app.core.views, com.app.core.accounts, etc.
Then subsequently for the set of API classes, I put them in com.app.events, com.app.accounts, com.app.utils, etc.
Is this a good practise?
I've found this very weird in a few ways. First, the core package is open to all. People can still access the core package objects directly, bypassing the API.
Second, I am having repetitive packages both in the 'core' package and in the outer package which serves as the API packages. For instance, com.app.core.accounts consists of all the classes the main application uses to operate its accounts module and com.app.accounts is an set of API classes for other developers to work from.
Third, if having repetitive packages is fine and is the right way to do so, then why wouldn't I simply let anyone access directly to the com.app.core package and I don't have repetitive folders and also the core package is accessible anyway?
What could have been a better way to do this? I working in Java and pretty new to this idea of creating my own API.

pet sugar, before you have a contest to give away frontline you should look into the possible side effects. we had noticed that my maltese acts droopy and somewhat ill after we applied it. we checked into online and there was a lot of information about the nasty side effects of the treatments...including organ failure. and considering my seemingly healthy bichon friese died suddenly of that exact cause and we treated her with frontline, we are no longer using it. it's worth a second thought.

Macarons - Where to Start?
I want to try my hand at macarons. As a first timer, what book would you suggest as the "one"?
MY suggestion: go to http://www.tastespotting.com/ and do a search for macarons. This is a great website for food porn - pics and recipes. You will find lots of links to cooks' versions of this dessert confection. Many have detailed pics and instructions.
I have loved reading the link below. Now if I can just work up the courage to actually make the macarons!
Here is a link that might be useful: Brave Tart Macaron Mythbuster
@bbstx - let's try them together and post results. I am chicken too put love all the beautiful posts about them.
I want to make this cake for my nieces this year and figure I have plenty of time to practice. Little macaron snowmen. How cute is that?
After making them for the first time last year, I thought that really, they are not that hard. I read some online tutorialst and watched some youtube videos and then went ahead and made them. They turned out really well and I've since played with many flavor combinations. My favorite, so far, has been adding cinnamon to the macaron cookie dough and using a chocolate/espresso cream cheese filling.
The link is the cookie recipe I use and gives very good direction

Been an okay day today. Mostly dry and warm.
Skimmias at this time of year attract plenty of bees. From mid summer agastaches ( the humming bird plant) are great for bees and butterflies.
The only sure fire way is to sown indoors and plant out when the peas are 3 or 4" high, when the seed has just have disappeared.
I tried all the recommendations in the past but this works.
Agree about the mpc. They seem worse every year now. I have mixed in my own sieved soil with mpc....this was done primarily to deter vine weevil as an experiment. Think it worked to an extent so john innes is a good addition.

It was recently featured as a Mother's Day gift-finding solution on CBS. Investors include professionals at Apax Partners, Deutsche Bank, and Macquarie Capital Advisors.
Lundin and Yeung worked for Perry Capital and BlackRock respectively. The pair met at Cornell University and founded Vimbly after Lundin conducted a painful search for a local photography class. Vimbly shows activities on a map of New York, and allows users to search by date, price range and more. It's similar to TechStars company Classtivity and education startup, Course Horse but with the search experience of Expedia.
Right now, Vimbly is only available in New York, but the founders say the funding will help them expand to five markets, including Boston and Washington, D.C. There are 5,000 activities on the site.

Wichita State Baseball Hit With NCAA Penalties
Wichita State's baseball program was hit with one year of probation, a $5,000 fine, and the school might vacate up to 74 wins over the 2012 and 2013 seasons as ineligible players were utilized, according to a decision issued by the NCAA Division I Committee on Infractions.
The committee ruled that for nearly two years, 21 baseball players purchased shoes, clothing, hunting gear and other non-athletics items for a total of $7,594.18, using a 50 percent discount.
Because the discount provided by former assistant (Shelley Wombacher) was not generally available to the full student body, family and friends, the discount is considered an extra benefit to the players.
The committee ruled that Wichita State did not monitor the activities of Wombacher regarding her use of a VIP account provided by the school's apparel provider.
The former assistant provided her log-in information to the baseball players so they could access her computer and VIP account. The athletes paid for the items themselves and believed they could order items in this manner as a part of the school's agreement with the apparel provider.
While the former assistant had a working knowledge of NCAA rules, the school acknowledged it should have provided her with further rules education and didn't closely monitor her VIP account activities.
Additionally, the school failed to implement recommended changes to its apparel purchasing system that would have ultimately helped avoid the extra benefit violations.
Because of this, the school failed to monitor its baseball program, according to the NCAA Division I Committee on Infractions.
Penalties and corrective measures include:
- Public reprimand and censure.
- One year of probation from January 29, 2015 through January 28, 2016.
- A fine of $5,000.
- Wichita State will vacate all regular season and conference tournament wins in which the 21 baseball players competed while ineligible.
According to Wichita State officials, the vacated wins will come from the 2012 and 2013 seasons only.
Wichita State is currently working on calculating the vacated wins total. It will depend on when purchases were made on the account and what wins those players participated in.
The maximum number of wins that could be vacated is 74 (35 in 2012 and 39 in 2013).
WSU's current coaching staff is not viewed as being responsible for the violations, Eleanor Myers, the chief hearing officer for the NCAA Committee on Infractions said.
Current Head Coach Todd Butler discovered that his players received discounts on Under Armour apparel through an account administered by Wombacher.
Butler was hired to replace long time head coach Gene Stephenson in June of 2013 and spent the large majority of his time on the road recruiting. When fall hit as players came back to school, he devoted time to practice.
Said the NCAA report: "As (Butler) was spending more time in the baseball office, he began to notice a large number of packages from the apparel provider being delivered to the former administrative assistant. On Nov. 15, the head coach asked one member of the team whether he had received any such items. The student-athlete confirmed that he had ordered discounted items of apparel through the former administrative assistant.
"The head coach reported the matter to the senior associate athletics' director for external operations on the next business day. On Nov. 21, the head coach opened a package delivered to the baseball office from the apparel provider for another student-athlete. When he found that it contained items of athletics apparel, he took the items to the institution's associate athletic director for student services and reported his concerns. The institution then began an investigation into the use of the VIP account by student-athletes."
NCAA rules allow athletes to purchase items related to their sport. However, baseball players purchased hunting gear and other non-baseball clothing.
On Feb. 14, 2014, the NCAA suspended eight players from 3-9 games. Eight players who purchased less than $100 worth of clothing paid back the money. Five baseball players either left the team or transferred before the 2014 season.

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
04 Jan 2013 02:12 GMT | Humanitarian crises, Asia, US & Canada, Pakistan, United States
Two US drone strikes in the Pakistan tribal regions bordering Afghanistan have killed at least nine people, including a senior tribal leader who was known to have ties to the Afghan Taliban, Pakistani intelligence officials have said.
Six people, including Taliban-linked commander Mullah Nazir, who also had a truce with Pakistan's military, were killed in the strike in South Waziristan and three others were killed in the second strike in the North, officials said on Thursday.According to the officials, the US drone fired two missiles at Nazir's home in the Sar Kanda area of Birmil in Pakistan's northwestern tribal district of South Waziristan.They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to brief the media."The attack by a US drone late last night targeted a house in the An-goor Adda area in South Waziristan on the Afghan border," Al Jazeera's Kamal Hyder reported.
"Mullah Nazir was among those killed. The strike happened at a time when the US wants to talk with the Taliban... this is a major setback."
Haqqani links
Nazir reached a peace deal with Islamabad in 2007 and had testy relations with the Pakistani Taliban, who are fighting a domestic insurgency.
His death may have significance on US-led efforts to hold at bay an 11-year insurgency in neighbouring Afghanistan, where he opposed the presence of US and NATO troops since foreign troops brought down the Taliban regime in 2001.
Nazir was also understood to be close to the al-Qaeda-linked Haqqani network, a faction of the Afghan Taliban blamed for some of the most high-profile attacks in Afghanistan and the capital Kabul in recent years.
Two of his influential deputies, Atta Ullah and Rafey Khan, were among those killed, the official added, and Nazir's fighters have been targeted by US drone strikes in the past.
Civilian casualties
Another US drone fired two missiles at a vehicle carrying fighters in northwest Pakistan, killing at least three people near the Afghan border, local security officials said.
The missiles struck the vehicle in Mubarak Shahi village, 20km east of Miranshah, the main town in North Waziristan tribal district, a stronghold of Taliban and al-Qaeda-linked fighters.
"There has been no confirmation of the exact target in the northern Waziristan strike... but that region has received the highest intensity of strikes," Hyder reported.
Another security official in the northwestern city of Peshawar confirmed the attack and casualties. Both officials said the identity of those killed was not yet known.
The covert US drone strikes are publicly criticised by the Pakistani government as a violation of sovereignty but American officials believe they are a vital weapon in the war against insurgency in the country.
In September, a report commissioned by legal lobby group, Reprieve, estimated that between 474 and 881 civilians were among 2,562 to 3,325 people killed by drones in Pakistan between June 2004 and September 2012.

Rural lobby group AgForce says the wild dog problem across Queensland is "desperate", with graziers reporting growing numbers of dog attacks on sheep and cattle.
Graziers are meeting at an industry information session in Longreach in the Queensland's north-west today to discuss market opportunities.
The wild dog problem is expected to come under the spotlight.
There will also be discussions in Charleville with wool and sheep meat producers on Friday.
AgForce spokesman Brent Finlay says wild dogs are costing Queensland at least $33 million a year.
"We are aware of the size of it and the difficulties that people are being presented with," he said.
"The situation is still desperate - it's taken a number of years for dogs to get to the numbers that they're in.
"At the end of the day it's up to landholders to kill dogs - that's private and public landholders.
"We had a QDOG [Queensland Dog Offensive Group} meeting yesterday where we were talking about that."
Meanwhile, AgForce also says there is still confidence in the sheep and wool industry in Queensland despite the flock being at its lowest level in 100 years.
Queensland's sheep meat producers are taking advantage of a booming market.
In the past decade, AgForce says the sheep meat industry has almost doubled to more than $4 billion nationwide.
Mr Finlay says there has been a massive sell-off of sheep in recent years due to the drought and wild dogs, but graziers are now looking to rebuild to take advantage of a lucrative sheep meat market.
"Thirty years ago we had 20 million sheep in Queensland - now we're back to about four [million]," he said.
"There are also areas of Australia - particularly Queensland - that are heavily impacted by wild dogs.
"If we can get better seasons and bring the dog situation under control and try to eradicate them from a number of sheep areas we'll hopefully see the flock start to rebuild."
Mr Finlay says the prospects in the sheep meat market are positive.
"[There are] about 68 million sheep in Australia," he said.
"The pundits seem to think that we'll probably stabilise around there given good seasons and then we expect the flock then to start to rebuild - probably not back to the heady days of the 1980s but certainly to start rebuilding.
"Sheep meat is a very profitable industry to be in at the moment and for the next five to seven years, it looks fantastic."

Whitefish filets How to?
I picked up some whitefish filets and need some ideas on the best way to prepare them. Also, ideas for sides. Just made up Ina's Wild Rice Salad and need something else to go with?
Don't have much exposure to fish here...just the panfish that we catch & DH thinks all fish must be fried, BUT, I'm thinking something else for the whitefish? Or not?
Oh, fast and easy is good.
Thank you!
We love this recipe from NY Seafood Council. I use less shrimp and cut up 3 scallops. I have also used frozen seafood mix from Trader Joes - a small amt I had leftover.
This heats up well the next day if you have any leftovers.
This would be delicious with Ina's rice. Any veggie, and you have.
Here is a link that might be useful: Nick's Stuffed Hake fillets
I usually do a light saute with just a dusting of seasoned flour, half butter and half oil in the pan.
Whitefish is so sweet and mild, you don't want to over power it.
I have also deep fried it, using a light batter.
A green vegetable would be good with it...green beans, broccoli or peas.
Here's another idea for whitefish. I posted it on the Cookalong Wine thread... it's near the bottom of the thread.
Here is a link that might be useful: Cookalong #40 ---- Wine
Well, DH announced that he has a bad belly so I'm not cooking fish tonight. DSII & I made spaghetti carbonara instead. (DS's favorite.) (Jello for DH.) So the fish will be for dinner tomorrow if DH is sufficiently recovered. Ina's salad will be better after an overnight in the refrig.
Thank you for the recipe ideas. A couple of them sound wonderful but a bit over the top for me. Don't have access to quality seafood here in central Wisconsin. Anyway, I'll probably try the light saute because it's easy and I won't have to make a grocery run.
I've eaten whitefish only one time and that was in a restaurant in Sault Ste Marie several years ago. I don't remember how it was prepared but I do remember that it was the most wonderful fish that I'd ever eaten. Being a restaurant, I imagine that it was either sauteed or broiled. Hope mine turns out half so good!

Make them pay Victor!
Fly ball should score him. Come on!!!! Take more than three pitches
Way to hustle Big Fella.
He is such a lazy baserunner... It really irritates me sometimes. Atleast he didn't stop in the base path like last night
you don't think cabrera was trying his best to score? he's not a fast man, but i am sure that he ran his fastest at that moment. he wants to win as much as anyone.
coaches have to put him in a position to succeed.
You just watched the man run you have to know that's nowhere near far enough out...
You got to be kidding me.
Was he told to run?
If we can get out of this half inning unscathed...I'm calling an Avila walkoff.
Benoit is dealing tonight (just picked off cruz stealing 2nd to end the inning) and we still have Valverde in the bullpen. The Tigs offense is going to blow up in either the bot 9th or 10th to end the game.
C'mon, Tigers!!
This would be a good inning to trot a run across.
Just sayin.
Come on sneaky power!
Time for santiago to be the hero
We need to get atleast one baserunner on so Cabrera gets an at bat.
Valverde has so many OCD mannerisms. Interesting to watch.
Not a good jump. God damn it. Good teams don't give games away like this.
Watching Ryan Raburn bat in the playoffs hurts my soul.
to lose the ALCS?
Valverde chokes.
More like tigers offense choked
Sinking feeling about this series....
I don't question Leyland much, but I don't get why you intentionally walk right there.
very bad base running calls
walking a gimpy batter to get to the two best clutch hitters?
The pick-off sequence is a loser move. Just is. Then Jackson getting caught stealing with Cabrera coming up was ridiculous. Why do you want to steal a base so badly there again? So that you're going even though you've gotten a ridiculously poor jump? Do we have that much confidence in Raburn?!
Sending Cabrera on that was also just a fucking absurdity. Come on.
No, you steal that base so that Raburn has a chance to win it. You can't sacrifice him over because then they walk Cabrera. It wasn't a terrible call, just a perfectly executed throw and catch.
We're losing the series to a much better team, we don't need to start playing the blame game.
I don't want to risk not getting the best hitter in baseball (or one of) up in that situation so I have a chance to have Ryan Raburn at the plate with RISP. Sorry.
You have to know your team and Jackson just got an awful jump in a clutch situation. Even if he steals the base and Raburn gets out, as he's likely to do, you've again negated Cabrera because there's a base open. Just don't love that call.
Good year Tigers, I don't think they can win three in a row. Can''t be to upset with a trip to the ALCS.
are going to lose because they can not get a cutch hit to save their lives. Couldn't get one in game 1, culdn't get one in game 2 and didn't get one in this game. It is painful to watch.
The pitching was good enough to win.
having Cabrera run to home like that is like Denard pitching out to Molk.
But that was funny.
Tigers would have won already if Justin pitched, based purely on past performance and record likely he would have given up only 2 runs. But Leyland wouldn't risk "getting him hurt" in order to pitch him on three days rest tonight--even though pitchers have done that for 100 years, and there is zero proof that 4 days rest, which only became standard for pitchers roughly 20 years ago, has resulted in either 1- fewer injuries, or 2- improved performance. And Justin was eager to pitch. Pity.
cool, so we lose tomorrow then. I don't think Tiger fans realize that other pitchers need to win too, not just Verlander.
You're blaming starting pitching when it was a tie game in the 8th and there's a guy on third and we don't bring him in?
if Verlander pitched.
All 4 starters only gave up 3 runs each. A healthy lineup, or even a semihealthy lineup and we'd probably have won in 5 or 6.
There's nothing you can do. We win one more game during the season we're probably playing the Yankees right now.
The Morning show guys on 97.1 looked up the stats, and in the postseason guys on 3-days rest have like an ERA over 5.0 and have won like 8 of like 30 games. So even if Verlander pitched well that's one game. There's still Games 5, 6, and 7 that Porcello, Scherzer, and Fister have to win. It won't even be them having to win it so much as our hitting still has to step up
There is no long term evidence that guys on three days rest either 1, are more prone to injury, or 2, are less effective. It's not true. I do agree that lack of clutch hitting and injuries are a huge issue, but I would have much rather taken my chance, a good chance in fact, of Verlander giving up say 1 run over 8 or 9 innings and not even needing more hitting tonight.
Fucking worst baserunning decisions in the history of baseball. Awful. Adios, Tigers. It was good while it lasted.
the error in the 5th inning really hurt us.
Its not the pitching, it's the old fucks decisions
really, I feel like a Rays fan.
1) great pitching
2) batters that don't show up in clutch
3) bizzaro coaching calls
I think big V wins but then to sweep Texas at home - no way.
We're playing with our 5th and 6th best outfielders. Our DH is clearly hurt and gutting it out. Avila is worn out. When Delmon's in the game he's still obviously struggling. It sucks, but that's what happened.
Hopefully we can take the Maggs and Penny money and go get one more big bat, hopefully a Reyes or Rollins (if the Phils don't resign him). If Illitch wants to win a World Series, next year is the chance. We've got the best pitching staff in the AL. Porcello's only going to get better.
In my mind there's 4 things that stand out.
1: Why did Cabrera try to go home? He doesn't have the speed that a guy like Jackson has, and the ball wasn't hit way deep right field
2: Why have Jackson steal? I understand we want him in scoring position for if Miggy comes up, but I think you have to trust Miggy and V-Mart together to drive 1 run in
3: Why pitch Valverde? I know he started off well, but in non-save situations he's absolutely god awful horrible
4: The big one, why walk Beltre? Not only does that put you up against a more dangerous batter, but it also guarantees Cruz a shot at bat. Beltre had no hits in the game, a bum knee, and would probably be an out

McGraw-Hill, 2001 - Games - 442 pages
Recognizing that people respond more effectively to speed, fun and graphics, Prensky's revolutionary approach melds the engagement of fast-paced video games with serious business content to create better and more engaging training.
Digital Game-Based Learning expands on his technique by explaining what digital game-based learning is, why it is different and better, why it's not just another fad, where it can be used, and how to implement it.
