Toyota has just announced that it plans on building its first plug-in hybrid by 2010. This car will be direct competition with GM's high-profile Volt, which is set to released that year. However, many pundits believe that the Volt is "vaporware" and will not be released in 2010.
[Read More]LED Bulbs Could Light Homes In Less Than Three Years
LEDs lights are very efficient, but because of their structure, much of the light in standard LEDs becomes trapped, reducing the brightness of the light. Because of this, LEDs are only useful for "task lighting" in the home — as floor lamps and desk lamps. Now researchers believe they have found a way of introducing […]

Comments, questions and tips
I used 1 heaped TEASPOON each of normal and hot paprika, 2 tablespoons of cumin, only 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of hot chilli powder but also a tablespoon of tom puree stired in an fried with the spices. Delicious, balanced and quite puchy! Not sure I'd dare try with 3 TABLESPOONS of cumin and chilli ......
This was fantastic. Really quick and simple to make, and tasted brilliant. I substituted agave syrup for the sugar, and added slightly more cumin then stated. I used the mild chilli powder, but also added a little bit of standard paprika. The texture was wonderful; it was really filling, and went well accompanied by a small dollop of natural yogurt. Definitely competes with the Chilli Con Carne I often make. I'd urge everyone to give this a try!
Really lovely veggie chilli. After reading the previous comments, I added 1 and a half tbsp of cumin and the same of mild chilli powder and it worked really well. I also added mushrooms with the beans. Will definitely be making again, a really flavoursome dish that is healthy and very quick to make, a perfect midweek meal
I have made this recipe time and time again. it has been requested on a number of occasions ny my friends. I found that there are 2 types of pimenton. One is very hot so I only use 1 tablespoon if I use that. The sweet pimenton makes it a bit sweet for us, so prefer the hotter version. I have made it for school events as it is easy to make for large numbers especially if you use tinned fried onions ( think it is called easy onion).
Really good - I've made this loads of times, with a few amendments - a veggie stock cube, a couple of chopped peppers (added a stage 1), half and half chilli powder and paprika, and whatever beans are in the cupboard. Even nicer reheated, so I always make a double batch, especially as it freezes so well. Lovely served with rice, tortillas, baked potatoes or quinoa (or even chips!).
Trawled thru all the comments as 3 tbsp of cumin seemed an awful lot to me. Based on the majority of comments went ahead as recipe stated (used paprika.) Should have stuck with my instincts. Cumin was the totally overpowering taste and no there was no real chilli kick. To save the dish I did half the recipe again, WITHOUT cumin and added a teaspoon of hot chilli powder instead of paprika. Added this to the original chilli, and although slightly improved, still too much cumin. I'd do it again but maybe just 3 teaspoons of cumin.

Helena Hauff
Released 05/08/2013
Werkdiscs / Ninja Tune will release Helena Hauff's debut 12" Actio Reactio on the 5th August 2013.
Helena Hauff is a DJ and producer from Hamburg, Germany, where she runs a club night called Birds and Other Instruments at the Golden Pudel Club.
Helena's sound as a DJ can't be nailed down as she cuts between genres with ease. Dirty Acid, Chicago, Electro and Wave mixed in an obsessive way, as you can hear on Blackest Ever Black's sub label Krokodilo Tapes, where she released a limited edition mix tape, 'Obscure Object'.
As a producer this obsessive nature comes across in the intensity of her music.
Actio Reactio is a mesmerisingly raw record, capturing the essence of Helena's conceptions. She works in an analogue world where most of the tracks are recorded in a single take.
To complement this release, 'Reaktion' is a mix which showcases the music that she loves and that inspires her.
"i could explain the name of the record and the tracks, but i don't really wanna. i wanna leave that to the people, i want them to make up their own ideas about it... " ( Helena Hauff speaking about the release in June 2013 )

The arrogance in cyberspace is just unbelievable! There is not one word directed to one word of the main Healthcare Bill…hence payback to the trail dogs for getting this buffoon to OpenCongress.org. Does healthcare need fixing, hell yes. Rushing the 1,990 pages of a language no one but English speakers, trail hands, and lawyers understand, trying to vote on it quickly should be raising some really red flags for all of those caught with their ideology down. I personally feel like Congress is acting like representatives of the people, and getting something done for us in a pretty little red bow…you know, like the stimulus was quickly acted on…transparency – finally! Stop lying to the American People. We are their bosses! Don't slow them down, remember the people who work in the system that have advised you and let's put this legislation on the books! That will make sense and reward those who worked their entire lives for what the thugs in Washington had been stealing from them.
That is one of the better trolls in this thread, I must admit…
agreed. Honestly, this is the first one I've seen that's copied the words of the poster before he/she and just tweeked the words just to mock them.
it's funny how you rarely see he/she make a valid argument or make an argument that actually make a small bit of sense.
"* The U.S. Post Service was established in 1775 You have had 234 years to get it right and it is broke.
- Social Security was established in 1935. You have had 74 years to get it right and it is broke.
- Fannie Mae was established in 1938. You have had 71 years to get it right and it is broke.
- War on Poverty started in 1964. You have had 45 years to get it right; $1 trillion of our money is confiscated each year and transferred to "the poor" and they only want more.
- Medicare and Medicaid were established in 1965.. You have had 44 years to get it right and they are broke.
- Freddie Mac was established in 1970. You have had 39 years to get it right and it is broke.
You have FAILED in every "government service" you have shoved down our throats while overspending our tax dollars
AND YOU WANT AMERICANS TO BELIEVE YOU CAN BE TRUSTED WITH A GOVERNMENT-RUN HEALTH CARE SYSTEM??""NO" to H.R.3962
after reading all the post i must say i find some very interesting things said, but much more that wasn't said.
1) i support abortion in limited cases and yet i find my self agree with those of you who are pro-life this bill should force you pay for other who want an abortion. sadly though this is how taxes work, i don't support the wars we are engaged in and the innocent lives our solder have killed aka "collateral damage" but my taxes pay for it nothing i can due about that its the nature of taxes.
2) i support health care reform, but like any bill congress passes it is influenced by special interest groups and mainly for their gain or at the very least their consent is needed for thing that are in public interest. with this in mind i fear no health care bill really be popular among the people but this is it. we get the health care bill they want us to have or we keep the current system. i will chose the lesser of two evils, a choose that politics always gives it's voters.3) i support this bill because it deal with something i have heard no one talk about and that is adverse selection and genetic discrimination. think about it insurance company don't want to cover unhealthy people so all they have to due is deny people who are prone to disease based on their genetic information. only health people will be covered if insurance companies got their way. not so fast,right, the genetic info non-discrimination act prevents this right. unfortunately the devil is in the details.
→http://www.govtrack.us/congress/billtext.xpd?bill=h110-493&version=enr&nid=t0%3Aenr%3A446<— this section makes the definition of what counts as a a genetic test to exclude Phenotype tests. in other words when actually develop the genetic disease they can legally discriminate and deny you.
it no reform is implemented not only are cost going to go to keep going up, but most of us won't get basic insurance anyway when we need it. assuming they want to maximize profit.-
That is a point. But, what about the REST of this monstrosity? Wouldn't they do better just to pass a tiny bill that says that?
I'm all for passing one simple law at a time- not these huge rolled-up mostrosities with lots of bad thrown in the tiny bit of good.
I would disagree that the more verbose and more separate parts thrown in, the more loopholes can be found, even with pages of 'definitions' and legislative intent thrown in.
It is also easier to make sure law sticks if it is done one simple bit at a time, like definitions in the California Business and Professions Code.
Regardless of the content, what I'm not seeing is anyone asking our elected representatives and senators how many of their actual constituents support or oppose this bill? When you contact your official on their website, you have to provide your name, address, phone, email, and ZIP+4 so they know you are in their district (representative) or state (senator). It should be an easy matter to tabulate how many actual citizens are in support of or opposed to this bill and vote accordingly. What good does it do to put it online if our voices are not going to be heard?
I suggest asking them how many actual verifiable voters support or oppose the bill, and to produce credible evidence in support of this.
I'd also suggest challenging your local newspaper or TV station to have them ask this question, and put the official on the record for accountability. If they are not voting the way the identifiable majority wishes, then they should find another job after the next election.
does anyone here feel compassion towards your fellow citizens? why is it so repugnant to so many Americans to reach out to the poor, the homeless, the sick, the shafted of our country who have always gotten the short end of the stick? why is it so terrible that a woman should have the right to choose whether she feels ready to be a mother? why should the government have the power to deny her that choice? if passing this bill means that one person's pains are relieved when in our current system they could not be, I support it and I am willing to pay for it.
I had a lot more compassion towards my fellow citizens before my government tried to redistribute wealth on it's own.
I'd much rather help my fellow human beings through individuals and charities and food banks and not greedy government officials that take their cut, and give massive bonuses to their special interest group supporters.
More people would support others if they didn't feel ripped off by the government.
Also, I don't see the need for government intervention because i live in a state where several counties have public health care. No-one is denied coverage in the state and county I live in.
I'd like to point out that I have friends that are on the government/county health care plan, and they think it sucks.
The government wants to take us all down to this lowest common denominator- unfortunately no-one will get better health-care, we'll all get the sucky public option.

So my hard earned and well deserved money should go to you?!?
It's not part of living in a CIVILIZED society, it's part of living in a communist society. Last I checked, WE LIVE IN A CAPITALIST SOCIETY! Communism specifically revolves around the redistribution of wealth so that everyone has equal amount of money. It isnt fair and it isnt right. I worked hard to get to where I'm at right now, my hard earned money should be mine and I should be able to have the right to give as I see fit, not the Government. If you like the idea of redistrubting wealth, then do it yourself and dont force your ideas on me or the rest of the country.
You completely missed my point.
I believe that it should be of my own choice as to whether or not to distribute my hard earned money to those who dont have any. The government doesnt have the right to make that choice for me.
If you like your wealth being redistributed, might I suggest you relocate to a European country? As for me? I have six kids to take care of, I'd like to keep the vast majority my money to support them.
Unfortunately, I fear our leaders are quickly trying to turn our country into an economically socialist country. I don't disagree with you.
Where is wealth redistribution in the Constitution? What? I can't hear you…..
I have seen it in the Communist Manifesto though….
You want more money? Start your own company, get a better education that allows you to get a better job, don't do drugs that make you lazy and broke, it's called personal responsablity. I make under the national average but I don't expect others to pay my bills. When looking for employment I made sure where I was applying to had health benifits. I shouldn't have to pay because others made other decisions including dropping out of high school then whining because they don't make crap! My step-son dropped out and after two years trying to get a decent job that paid enough to live on he got his GED on his own…..Personal responsibility….
My hubby is self-employed, I am in school right now, but we have found out that there is no guarantee as to how well educated or employed you are, you still may not get coverage. We have been without for years and not for lack of trying, we make to much for Federal Aid and the cost to insure our family equals our yearly income, not only that, but the only coverage my hubby can get is Major Medical, there are THOUSANDS of well educated people who have lost their big paying jobs and have to settle for less, and that also means no insurance.
Not everyone without insurance is a drop out or lazy
Depends on what state you live in. In the state and County we live in, I think there are 6 different options to get 'public' health care if you don't have private insurance.
Some have income limits, but some don't…
I dunno… many charities do great good in our country and others without the help of government aid.
I want to help who I want to help, not who the government makes me help.
Agreed, but charity can only do so much when there are so many that don't participate.
Actually, to an extent, you do tell the government who to help when you are able to deduct your contributions from you taxes. You are, essentially, getting that percentage back and making the government pay it.
My Great-Great Grandfather always said (he was an Irish Immigrant by the way) that the way to solve all of the economic problems was to take everyone's money and put it into a big pot then distribute it out equally to everyone in the country. That way no one had more than anyone else.
When asked what would you do if some ended up with more than others?
"That's easy." he said, "Just put it all back in the pot and do it all over again."

From the June 2014 issue of Perspectives on Science and Christian Faith from the American Scientific Affiliation.
I was raised in a household of atheists. My parents were card-carrying members of the American Communist Party, and therefore the atheism in my household was quite close to the militant anti-theism of the so-called "new atheists".
In this series, Kathryn Applegate addresses the concern that randomness implies the absence of God's activity and involvement in the natural world. She begins by clearing up some common misconceptions about the concept of "randomness", and later focuses on the mechanisms of the immune system to demonstrate that God works through random processes to preserve life. Far from being an indication of a "godless" universe, one might conclude that randomness is one of God's favorite mechanisms for creating and sustaining life!
A common argument leveled against the theory of evolution is that scientists have not been able to produce transitional fossils that show the change of one species into another. In this podcast, we address a common misconception about what transitional fossils actually are.
In this series, James Kidder provides an intriguing study on transitional fossils and the evolutionary history of modern humans. He begins by discussing the fossil record, explaining how new forms are classified. He then explains the physically distinguishing trait of humankind—bipedalism. From the discovery of Ardipithecus, the earliest known hominin, to the australopithecines, the most prolific hominin, Kidder focuses on the discovery, the anatomy, and the interpretation of these ancestral remains.
If God himself is willing to die, particularly in such a gruesome way, then perhaps we should at least consider the possibility of God allowing the death of other creatures, too. But would this really be compatible with what we know of God through Scripture?
We find no compelling evidence that the earth's geological features can be explained by a global Flood. Here we consider three lines of evidence: global salt deposits, the order of deposition of sediment layers in the Grand Canyon, and the sequence of fossils in geological strata.
It is not uncommon to hear voices proclaiming that biology and physics have shown us that—at fundamental levels—nature is random, hence meaningless, purposeless, and without a creator. But how might God work providentially through indeterminate processes? The John Templeton Foundation has provided a generous grant of $1.69 million to support a new research initiative on the theme of Randomness and Divine providence.
Charles Darwin's personal struggles and ultimate rejection of Christianity are well documented, and people are eager to link his loss of faith to his evolutionary theory. David Lack, on the other hand, began his scientific career as an agnostic, but shortly after publishing his famous book on the evolution of "Darwin's finches", he converted to Christianity.
This BioLogos videocast addresses the age of recently discovered hominid fossils and how scientists are able to obtain those dates.
There are two opposite errors which need to be countered about the fossil record: 1) that it is so incomplete as to be of no value in interpreting patterns and trends in the history of life, and 2) that it is so good that we should expect a relatively complete record of the details of evolutionary transitions within all or most lineages.
In recent decades, scientists have discovered more about the beginnings of humanity. The fossil record shows a gradual transition over 5 million years ago from chimpanzee-size creatures to hominids with larger brains who walked on two legs. Later hominids used fire and stone tools and had brains as large as modern humans. Fossils of homo sapiens in east Africa date back nearly 200,000 years. Humans developed hearths for fire, stone points for spears and arrows, and cave paintings by 30,000 years ago. By 10,000 years ago, humans had spread throughout the globe. Genetic studies support the same picture. Humans share more DNA with chimpanzees than with any other animal, suggesting that humans and chimps share a relatively recent common ancestor. Also, the same defective genes appear in both humans and chimps, at the same locations in the genome—an observation difficult to explain except by common ancestry. Genetics also tells us that the human population today descended from more than two people. Evolution happens not to individuals but to populations, and the amount of genetic diversity in the gene pool today suggests that the human population was never smaller than several thousand individuals. Yet all humans, of all races, are descended from this group. Humanity is one family.

He's physically better than 95% percent of the guys he faces. Davis will never have Drummond's body, but as he gets stronger he'll go from really good rookie to potentially great. Monty's said it, and its clear when you watch him, but Davis gets pushed around a lot. That's not a problem for Drummond. Davis does has way more offensive game than Drummond,though. Drummond also has no responsibilities on his team. He comes off the bench knowing he's only gonna play 20 minutes, and he plays with his hair on fire that entire time. Conserving energy and fouls are no concern for him. With that said, I like how they're using him as a rookie and its gonna be interesting to see how he develops. His FT shooting is devastatingly bad, though. When the time comes for them to actually be ready to count on him to win games, he's gonna be useless down the stretch. Reply Back to Top |

His post game is the most absurd thing in the NBA right now. He fades on funny looking jumpers. Reply Back to Top |

Posted by LSU Piston on 2/6 at 8:23 pm to eyeran quote: This. His productivity is largely based on his insane athleticism. He has a bit of Blake Griffin in him, with the body of Dwight Howard. Very fun to watch. Already a premier shot blocker and rebounder. Never out of position, always 'at the right spot' on the floor. But his offensive game is incredibly raw. No post game. No jump shot. Mostly alley-oops and putbacks at this time. Reply Back to Top |
Posted by Tayday on 2/7 at 9:06 am to LSU Piston I agree with both of you, but do y'all think he will be a better player in the long run over AD?Reply Back to Top |
Posted by TigerinATL on 2/7 at 9:17 am to Tayday Absolutely not. Drummond is a physical freak with no basketball skill. Bigs that can't shoot rarely turn it around so his ceiling is probably a Tyson Chandler top defensive center type of player. Davis may not be as freakish but he's still a physical freak but he also has actual basketball skills both offensive and defensive that can be fine tuned over time. His ceiling is a Duncan/Garnett top 5 player in the league type. Reply Back to Top |
Posted by GynoSandberg on 2/7 at 9:17 am to Tayday quote: It's quite possible. Drummond could lead the league in blocks and rebounds as early as next season if he keeps progressing.

Posted by TigerinATL on 2/7 at 10:22 am to LSU Piston quote: Drummond's not even in the same conversation with those guys. Dwight Howard started in the NBA after coming straight out of high school, so his rookie year of 12/10 was Drummond's freshman year of college. In Dwight's 2nd year removed from High School he was averaging 16/12. As a freshman at LSU Shaq only averaged 14/12, but in his 2nd year removed from high school he became dominant and averaged 27/15 and his rookie year in the league he averaged 23/14. Drummond's 2nd year removed from high school he's not even starting and he's averaging 7/7. I'm not saying he's going to be a bad player, he may well end up being another Tyson Chandler, but if he was going to be a Super Star we'd know it already. The NBA has been following these guys since elementary school in many cases. They rarely miss on Super Stars. This post was edited on 2/7 at 10:22 am Reply Back to Top Refresh |

Starters seek second wins in NL East series opener
While Kyle Kendrick labored through his last start against the Cardinals, needing 113 pitches to get through six innings, the Phillies right-hander still managed to post a quality start.
Allowing two runs on eight hits, it marked Kendrick's third consecutive quality start this season. That's a trend that started last season for Kendrick, who has tossed 11 quality starts in his past 14 outings.
He'll go for a fourth Friday as the Phillies and Mets square off in their series opener at Citi Field.
Kendrick went six innings on April 10 against the Mets, allowing two runs on eight hits for his only win this season.
Getting that second win could be difficult for Kendrick with a struggling Phillies offense. Philadelphia has scored three runs or fewer in 13 of its past 14 games.
"We've got to improve. We've got to hit those fastballs," Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said earlier this week. "I hope that doesn't put a lot of pressure on the team. But we've got to hit some of those fastballs."
Mets right-hander Dillon Gee will try to keep the Phillies' bats quiet as he takes the hill looking for his second straight win.
Gee tossed 5 2/3 innings against the Nationals on Sunday, allowing just three hits after losing his first three starts. He also struck out six in the contest.
Gee ran out of steam in the sixth, walking three of the first four batters he faced, before exiting with the lead.
"I'm just happy to finally contribute to a win," Gee said after the game. "That's the truth. We needed to step it up. It's been really eating away at me the past few weeks, not going out there and doing my job."
Phillies: Revere gets rest
• Center fielder Ben Revere, who had started every game this season, was out of the lineup Thursday afternoon against the Pirates.
As Revere deals with a nagging quad injury, Manuel also wanted to get a look at Ezequiel Carrera, whom the Phillies claimed off waivers April 2 from the Indians.
"I think Revere needs a little break. I told him [Wednesday] night after the game that he was going to get a day off. We'll see where it goes," Manuel said. "And I think we need to take a look at Carrera, too. He's only [started] one game since we got him, and there are some things, as far as his actions, that I like.
Carrera went 0-for-4 with a pair of strikeouts in the Phillies' 6-4 loss, their third in a row.
Mets: Collins switches around lineup
• With Lucas Duda swinging a hot bat, Mets manager Terry Collins decided to move the left fielder into the cleanup spot, dropping Ike Davis down to sixth for Thursday's game, a 3-2 loss against the Dodgers.
"We've got to get Ike going," Collins said. "We're heading into May here and we need to get him swinging the bat like he's capable of. I don't know if he's trying to put too much pressure on himself to hit homers, but I just said, 'You know what? Maybe it's time to get him to relax a little bit.' When he starts swinging like he's capable of, or like we saw in the second half, I'll move him back in that four hole, because I just think that's our best lineup. But Lucas is swinging great, so I just made the switch."
Davis is batting just .174 on the season, but hit a solo home run in the ninth inning of Thursday' s game. Duda finished the game 1-for-4 and has slugged four home runs in his past 13 games.
Worth noting
• Philadelphia is just 20-26 in April the past two seasons. The team is 9-14 this season after going 11-12 in 2012.
• Phillies closer Jonathan Papelbon is a perfect 55-for-55 in save opportunities in his career in the month of April.

Java developers who need to store and retrieve persistent data already have several options available to them: serialization, JDBC, JDO, proprietary object-relational mapping tools, object databases, and EJB 2 entity beans. Why introduce yet another persistence framework? The answer to this question is that with the exception of JDO, each of the aforementioned persistence solutions has severe limitations. JPA attempts to overcome these limitations, as illustrated by the table below.
Table 2.1. Persistence Mechanisms
Supports: | Serialization | JDBC | ORM | ODB | EJB 2 | JDO | JPA |
Java Objects | Yes | No | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
Advanced OO Concepts | Yes | No | Yes | Yes | No | Yes | Yes |
Transactional Integrity | No | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
Concurrency | No | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
Large Data Sets | No | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
Existing Schema | No | Yes | Yes | No | Yes | Yes | Yes |
Relational and Non-Relational Stores | No | No | No | No | Yes | Yes | No |
Queries | No | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
Strict Standards / Portability | Yes | No | No | No | Yes | Yes | Yes |
Simplicity | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | No | Yes | Yes |
Serialization is Java's built-in mechanism for transforming an object graph into a series of bytes, which can then be sent over the network or stored in a file. Serialization is very easy to use, but it is also very limited. It must store and retrieve the entire object graph at once, making it unsuitable for dealing with large amounts of data. It cannot undo changes that are made to objects if an error occurs while updating information, making it unsuitable for applications that require strict data integrity. Multiple threads or programs cannot read and write the same serialized data concurrently without conflicting with each other. It provides no query capabilities. All these factors make serialization useless for all but the most trivial persistence needs.
Many developers use the Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) APIs to manipulate persistent data in relational databases. JDBC overcomes most of the shortcomings of serialization: it can handle large amounts of data, has mechanisms to ensure data integrity, supports concurrent access to information, and has a sophisticated query language in SQL. Unfortunately, JDBC does not duplicate serialization's ease of use. The relational paradigm used by JDBC was not designed for storing objects, and therefore forces you to either abandon object-oriented programming for the portions of your code that deal with persistent data, or to find a way of mapping object-oriented concepts like inheritance to relational databases yourself.
There are many proprietary software products that can perform the mapping between objects and relational database tables for you. These object-relational mapping (ORM) frameworks allow you to focus on the object model and not concern yourself with the mismatch between the object-oriented and relational paradigms. Unfortunately, each of these product has its own set of APIs. Your code becomes tied to the proprietary interfaces of a single vendor. If the vendor raises prices, fails to fix show-stopping bugs, or falls behind in features, you cannot switch to another product without rewriting all of your persistence code. This is referred to as vendor lock-in.
Rather than map objects to relational databases, some software companies have developed a form of database designed specifically to store objects. These object databases (ODBs) are often much easier to use than object-relational mapping software. The Object Database Management Group (ODMG) was formed to create a standard API for accessing object databases; few object database vendors, however, comply with the ODMG's recommendations. Thus, vendor lock-in plagues object databases as well. Many companies are also hesitant to switch from tried-and-true relational systems to the relatively unknown object database technology. Fewer data-analysis tools are available for object database systems, and there are vast quantities of data already stored in older relational databases. For all of these reasons and more, object databases have not caught on as well as their creators hoped.
The Enterprise Edition of the Java platform introduced entity Enterprise Java Beans (EJBs). EJB 2.x entities are components that represent persistent information in a datastore. Like object-relational mapping solutions, EJB 2.x entities provide an object-oriented view of persistent data. Unlike object-relational software, however, EJB 2.x entities are not limited to relational databases; the persistent information they represent may come from an Enterprise Information System (EIS) or other storage device. Also, EJB 2.x entities use a strict standard, making them portable across vendors. Unfortunately, the EJB 2.x standard is somewhat limited in the object-oriented concepts it can represent. Advanced features like inheritance, polymorphism, and complex relations are absent. Additionally, EBJ 2.x entities are difficult to code, and they require heavyweight and often expensive application servers to run.
The JDO specification uses an API that is strikingly similar to JPA. JDO, however, supports non-relational databases, a feature that some argue dilutes the specification.
JPA combines the best features from each of the persistence mechanisms listed above. Creating entities under JPA is as simple as creating serializable classes. JPA supports the large data sets, data consistency, concurrent use, and query capabilities of JDBC. Like object-relational software and object databases, JPA allows the use of advanced object-oriented concepts such as inheritance. JPA avoids vendor lock-in by relying on a strict specification like JDO and EJB 2.x entities. JPA focuses on relational databases. And like JDO, JPA is extremely easy to use.
OpenJPA typically stores data in relational databases, but can be customized for use with non-relational datastores as well.
JPA is not ideal for every application. For many applications, though, it provides an exciting alternative to other persistence mechanisms.

Minor aiming for rebound effort against Royals
Braves left-hander to oppose Mendoza in finale of two-game set
There would appear to be no better way for Mike Minor to bounce back from an outing in which he surrendered a season-high three home runs than to face the Royals, who have left the yard the fewest times in the Majors with just 41 homers.
But after Eric Hosmer's game-tying two-run shot in the fifth inning of Tuesday night's series opener, a 4-3 win for the Braves, Minor will need to stay on his guard when he takes the mound for the finale of a quick two-game set on Wednesday night at Kauffman Stadium. The Braves' left-hander has given up 12 home runs this season, tied for the 10th-most among National League pitchers.
Last Thursday, Mets third baseman David Wright took Minor deep in his first two at-bats, and Andrew Brown delivered a pinch-hit solo shot to tie the game in the fifth before New York scratched out one more run in the seventh to deal the Braves a 4-3 loss in the series finale.
"I just threw more balls over the middle of the plate," Minor said after his third loss of the year. "I didn't have a lot of offspeed, and the offspeed I threw wasn't very good. It was either a curveball or over the middle of the plate. So, I threw a lot of fastballs and felt like I got guys two strikes, but a lot of times they were fouling those balls straight back, so, I wasn't really throwing anything at them to get them off the fastball."
Royals starter Luis Mendoza, who will oppose Minor, is hoping to build off of his last outing, in which Mendoza retired 12 of the first 13 batters he faced, but was undone by a three-run sixth inning in a 6-3 loss to the Indians last Wednesday.
"It happened too quick and I couldn't settle down," Mendoza said. "That inning doesn't affect me for my next start. I'm positive that every time I am better and better, and I take that to the mound the next time."
In a more general sense, pitching has been a bright spot for both teams this month. The Braves boast the lowest ERA in the National League at 2.71 through 24 games in June, while the Royals are right behind them at 2.76. The Blue Jays are the only other team with an ERA under 3.00 since the calendar turned.
Braves: J-Up back in lineup
After missing the final two games of the Milwaukee series with what manager Fredi Gonzalez described as a sore right hand, left fielder Justin Upton was back in the lineup for Tuesday night's series opener in Kansas City.
"He felt OK on Sunday," Gonzalez said. "After taking batting practice [on Sunday] he said he felt he could go. But the smart thing was to take another day and take advantage of the off-day on Monday. It was a good [decision] by him."
As the designated hitter on Tuesday, Upton went 1-for-4 with a walk in the Braves' 4-3 win.
• Third baseman Ramiro Pena will get a second opinion on his injured right shoulder in Atlanta on Wednesday. Pena has battled right shoulder discomfort since landing awkwardly while making a diving stop along the third-base line against the Dodgers on June 9.
Royals: Smith called up to help out 'pen
The Royals called up Will Smith on Tuesday to take the place of struggling right-hander Kelvin Herrera in the bullpen. Herrera has given up eight home runs and 15 walks in 27 2/3 innings in the Majors this season.
In seven relief outings for Triple-A Omaha since his move to the bullpen, Smith recorded a 0.84 ERA with one earned run and nine strikeouts to his credit. Ned Yost's bullpen does not have many set roles, but the Royals manager expected Smith to contribute whenever he's called upon.
Smith faced the minimum in a scoreless ninth on Tuesday night, inducing an inning-ending double play after hitting Jason Heyward with a pitch.
• Yost spent 12 years with the Braves as part of Bobby Cox's coaching staff from 1991-2002, serving as the team's bullpen coach from 1991-1998 and third-base coach from 1999-2002.
Worth noting
• Atlanta utility outfielder Jordan Schafer is 9-for-12 on stolen base attempts this season after swiping second base in the third inning of Tuesday's game. The rest of the Braves are 20-for-36.
• The Braves are visiting Kansas City during this week's two-game series for the first time in franchise history.
• Craig Kimbrel recorded his 22nd save of the season as the Braves notched their 12th one-run victory on Tuesday night.

Great quality. Beautiful colors. Easy to clean. Very well made. The comforter is a little stiff at first, but softens up with use and a washing. The shams are soft and comfortable. This set is warm but won't make you sweat. It's great for our pets too because the material cleans up nicely and doesn't pull. Perfect for us!
The quality is fantastic, the colors are on the dark side, lots of brown with a dark sage, underside of comforter is brown. It is a heavy comforter. would recommend to anyone is very nice.
Beautiful 4 piece set. Love the colors and good quality product.
Nicely made comforter. Good quality fabric. Feels very substantial. Washes well. Would recommend avoiding the dryer especially on high heat. Cotton will shrink and stuffing can melt. Very pleased with purchase.
This comforter is okay. The colors are not what I expected when I viewed it online. I kept it because I got it for the guest room, so I do not have to look at it every day! :)
I haven't had this on the bed in our rental condo long enough to know how well it holds up to use, but it looks great and seems very sturdy. We wanted the tropical look with some nice soft colors and this one fit the bill.
High quality comforter set, appears it will hold up well. The King size was a good fit!
My husband found this product on sale at a leading department store and bought it. I looked it up on Overstock and was able to get the same set for about $40 less than the sales price.
It was a pretty comforter but for Spring/Summer I wanted more color. The colors in the picture are definitely darker in person and the yellow sheets in the picture would be more of a green. It was a toss up between this comforter and another one I found elsewhere. The other one won. I DID really like how long this comforter was on the sides of my king bed.

Part dirt bike, part mountain bike, all Mountain Moto
Article Summary
For many people, dirt bikes look fun, but intimidating. They're dangerously-fast, they're loud, and should you wipe out on one, which is going to happen... well, that's a lot of bike that could come crashing down on top of you. If you're one of these people, you might be interested in the FX Mountain Moto. At 57 kg (125 lbs), it's billed as the world's lightest adult-sized dirt bike. It's intended to bridge the gap between regular dirt bikes and mountain bicycles, combining the power of one with the agility of the other.

FEMLAB/MATLAB model for complex electric swing adsorption (ESA) system with in-vessel condensation
Petkovska, M.1, Antov-Bozalo, D.1, Markovic A.1, Sullivan, P.21 Faculty of Technology and Metallurgy, University of Belgrade Karnegijeva 4, Belgrade, Serbia and Montenegro
2 AFRL/MLQF, Tyndall AFB, FL, USA
The subject of this investigation is a recently developed Electric Swing Adsorption (ESA) system (adsorption cycle with electrothermal desorption step, which is performed by direct heating of the adsorbent particles by passing electric current through them), with an adsorber assembled of two annular, radial-flow, cartridge-type fixed-beds, with in-vessel condensation.
Three FEMLAB models were built, in order to describe three stages of a compete ESA cycle: adsorption, electrothermal desorption before the start of condensation and electrothermal desorption with in-vessel condensation In order to describe the complete ESA cycle the models for the three stages were integrated, by using a combination of FEMLAB and MATLAB.
The models were successfully used for simulation of separate stages of the process and of the complete ESA cycles, as well as for their optimization.

Hospital board declines to give Hathaway a new contract
Linda Satchwell
Staff Writer
Plumas District Hospital board president Dr. Mark Satterfield explained the background leading up to a possible vote on a new contract for Chief Executive Officer Dick Hathaway at the July 1 board meeting.
Hathaway's current contract, signed in April 2002, includes a starting salary of $134,365, increasing to $139,365 in July 2002, with possible upward adjustments taking place each January at the board's discretion.
In addition, Hathaway receives a bonus based on 10 percent of base salary for "goals accomplished" during the previous year. The board also determines the bonus on an annual basis. This year, the board declined to give Hathaway a bonus.
He receives medical and life insurance and a retirement plan. Finally, if he is "involuntarily terminated without cause," he receives "severance pay in a total amount equal to six months' salary and benefits."
Alluding to the ongoing hospital tax debacle, Satterfield said that despite "other distractions" the board had made good progress towards a new contract. In fact, board members met in closed session twice — June 10 and 18 — and had appointed board members Valerie Flanigan and Bill Elliott to negotiate with Hathaway's attorney regarding contract details.
Over the past few weeks, some board members — because of the dismal April PDH financials, the economy in general and the volatility the hospital is experiencing on the tax issue — felt increasingly uncomfortable with approving a more expensive contract for Hathaway.
Ongoing negotiations had experienced "a couple of wrinkles toward the end here," said Satterfield. "We're trying to consider where to go with that."
Flanigan, one of the two negotiators, said, "With respect to Mr. Hathaway, who deserves an updated contract, given the situation that we're not in agreement (on the new contract), I can at least make a motion that we (update) the outdated contract ... so he's at least not operating without a contract."
Board member Fred Thon made a motion to table discussion on the new contract and extend the existing contract until September. He wanted to see the results of the August tax cap election before he voted on a new contract he said.
Elliott amended Thon's motion to extend the current contract for 18 months, "to the end of 2011, but with an agreement that in January of 2011, once the elections have been settled, we all have a better sense of hospital finances — which are looking much more encouraging," the board can revisit the issue.
In the meantime, an extension would at least provide a level of security for Hathaway, he said.
Elliott explained he felt September was too soon to make an informed decision, because he wanted to see if the dismal financials of April were an anomaly. (Chief Financial Officer John Nadone reported there had been a significant upswing in May and June.) Also, Elliott wanted to see if any of the three board members up for election — himself, Flanigan and Thon — were replaced. In that case, he felt the community deserved to have the new board members in on the CEO's contract negotiation.
Thon disagreed with letting a new board make the decision on a new contract. Elliott said, however, that was why he wanted to see Hathaway receive the protection that extending the existing contract until December 2011 would afford.
Board member John Kimmel pointed out that the board could, in fact, chose to revisit the new contract issue at any time — "you can always install a new contract," he said.
Elliott's amendment went to a vote with Elliott, Flanigan, Satterfield and Kimmel voting for it, and Thon abstaining.
There was some procedural confusion surrounding the vote, but Satterfield reiterated what the board had voted for: "Bill's amendment would be to reconsider (the new CEO contract) in January and to offer an extension of the current contract with new dates, etc., until the end of 2011."
Flanigan said if "time and opportunity is changed with regards to finances and all," the board should consider addressing the new contract issue again before January, "so as not to keep Mr. Hathaway waiting."
Satterfield agreed, but said Elliott's concern regarding the hospital's "financial uncertainty" and the upcoming board election (which could potentially replace a majority of members) was warranted.
"I think there's some value to acknowledging the public's right to participate in all of this."
Hathaway was visibly upset by the board's action, but made no comment during the meeting, and he was unavailable for comment by press time.
After the meeting, Satterfield said there had been some question regarding "procedural process in order to secure this action," and the board would likely make some "clarification of action taken" later.

Achieve Deeper Network Security and Application Control eBook
Click here to download now
Overview: Next-generation firewalls (NGFWs) have emerged to revolutionize network security as we once knew it. Traditional firewalls that only focus on stateful packet inspection and access control rules are simply not effective in today's advanced-threat environment. To safeguard your organization from today's ever-evolving threats, your NGFW must be able to deliver a deeper level of network security. To combat growing security challenges, more organizations are migrating from traditional firewalls that focus only on stateful packet inspection (SPI) and access control rules to next-generation firewalls.
NGFWs have revolutionized network security by providing more robust protection against emerging threats. In addition to traditional firewall features, NGFWs feature a tightly integrated intrusion prevention system (IPS), real-time decryption and inspection of SSL sessions, and full control and visualization of application traffic as it crosses the network.

I recommend these tires. I don't know about snow but we may get some this winter in North Texas but they are quite compared to the Goodyear Viva II that I had for the last 60 K miles. They are on a 2003 Corolla so you hear the road anyway but they sure do hug the road. Have only had them for two weeks now but I drive 58 miles one way to work and have been through two rain storms. I purposely tried to slide just to test them and they hold great. We will see as the tread wears. I know the Goodyear Aquatread became less effective as they wore down.

I bought these tires for my VW golf on the recommendation of my repair shop & a reputable tire store. These are the worst tires I've ever had! They were noisy from the beginning, sounding like tires on our trucks. I've had them for 1 1/2 years & 15,000 miles & they are worn out. I have been very prompt on getting alignments, rotation & balances. I am due a state inspection in 2 months & am going to have to fork out more $$ for tires. I was expecting at least 35,000 - 40,000 miles out of these. Will never buy & never recommend.

FS#997 - Empty drawing after "transaction failed message"
Hello, But after some hours of work, I stumbled over a quite nasty bug: I tried to draw a polyline in model space, and got a "transaction failed" message (although the current layer was not locked) and then suddenly all entities in the drawing just disappeared. I checked my block definitions, and they too were empty. I therefore saved the drawing under a new name and closed it. However, there was no sign of qcad becoming unstable - it opened the previous version of the file without problems (I restarted the program nonetheless...). Attached are the empty file (V1-2_corrupted.dwg), the last intact save before (V1-2.dwg), and logs of the command line as well as of the console.
Running audit in BricsCAD on V1-2.dwg just lists 57 errors like this:
Hope this can give some hints - if not, don't waste time on it, I would come back to it should I encounter such a problem again. |

a series of browsers, originating from Netscape, then made open source when the entire team was sacked by AOL, possibly one of the best browsers ever coded. All versions include an easter egg in the form of a message in About:mozilla which gives a fake bible quote similar to the Book of Revelations. the verse numbers at the end are important dates in the form of Month:Day 7:15, or july 15 was the day that AOL fired the entire netscape team and the Mozilla project was born.
And so at last the beast fell and the unbelievers rejoiced. But all was not lost, for from the ash rose a great bird. The bird gazed down upon the unbelievers and cast fire and thunder upon them. For the beast had been reborn with its strength renewed, and the followers of Mammon cowered in horror.

The bestest browser ever. Nearly everything on the web will render as well or better in Mozilla than Internet Explorer. People like to complain because Mozilla doesn't support all this junk that Microsoft made and integrated into their browser to hide the fact that it's a load of crap and crashes all the time
Mozilla has pop-up blockers, tabbed browsing, and support for alpha level png transparency! Stop using IE!

Mozilla is an open-source web browser.
open-source means that anyone who has some coding skills can get mozillas source code for free and modify the browser.

I used to use IE, but i switched to Firefox by Mozilla, now i get NO pop-ups, and everything is much faster than IE, If you have lots of pop-ups or IE is crashing all the time than switch to Mozilla its free.
IE sucks, you suck, i suck

Decent open-source web browser spawned from Netscape, but is now better than Netscape. It is standards compliant and could be considered the father of Firefox.
Mozilla > Morse code > Internet Explorer
