Groovy's property mechanism provides a short-hand which simplifies defining typical JavaBean-style classes. You simply define the property with no explicit visibility and it is replaced at the bytecode level by a private backing variable, a public setter and a public getter. To the Java world, all three parts are visible. In the Groovy world, conceptually it is OK to just think about the property - Groovy's property notation comes in to play so that using the setter or getter looks like using the property as if it was a field.
This works well but introduces a slight complication with annotations. When using the non-property approach, there are three places in the source code where an annotation may be added (the field, the setter and the getter). With the property approach (idiomatic Groovy) there is just one place available in the source to place an annotation.
Current Behaviour
Currently if an annotation is applied to a property, the compiler will attempt to apply the annotation to the field, the setter and the getter. If any of these fails (e.g. some annotations may apply only to methods or only to fields) the code won't compile.
PROPOSAL: Smarter annotation assignment
Use the java.lang.annotation.Target of any annotations to determine where the annotation will be included in the final class.
If the @Target of the used annotation marks the annotation as usable only on FIELD level, then the annotation will be attached to the generated field.
If the @Target of the used annotation marks the annotation as usable on METHOD level, then the annotation will be attached to the generated getter and setter.
If the @Target of the used annotation marks the annotation as usable on both FIELD and METHOD level, then the annotation will be attached to all the generated class elements.
Obviously, if multiple annotations are used, there is the possibility of the annotations being split across the generated class elements, e.g. I can use both a field and a method annotation. The field annotation will be attached to the field (and ignored for the getters and setters) while the method annotation will be attached just to the methods.
PROPOSAL: Additional annotation classification mechanism
Sometimes it is desirable to be more selective with annotation than is possible even with smarter annotation assignment, e.g. placing an annotation on just one of the setter or getter. Sometimes an annotation might be possible on both fields and methods but in a particular example we want to apply it to just one. To achieve this we need additional syntax to express how we want to classify an annotation.
One way to do this is to use a synthetic annotation as a prefix to the real annotation. A @Target annotation appears in Groovy code at the source level, but it is only synthetic. It has no real definition. It will be like a compiler flag only, and completely ignored in the output.
The @Target annotation allows the user to further refine where the compiler should attach an annotation. After it has been used by the compiler, it is completely discarded. The Groovy @Target annotation will further specify if an annotation will be attached to a FIELD, GETTER or SETTER, but will never contradict the Java @Target annotation. In case such a contradiction occurs the Groovy compiler must emit an error.
Last, but not least I should mention that there will be no naming conflict between the Java java.lang.annotation.Target annotation and the Groovy Target annotation (probably groovy.lang.annotation.Target), because they will be living in completely different context.
An example:
|Code Block
@Target([FIELD]) @AutoPopulate(defaultValue="bar") @Target([GETTER]) @ManagedAttribute(currencyTimeLimit=15) @Target([SETTER]) @ManagedAttribute(persistPolicy="OnUpdate") int base = 10
As an alternative, we could come up with some other syntax to achieve the same result, e.g. here might be some other ways to write the above:
|Code Block
@[FIELD]AutoPopulate(defaultValue="bar") @[GETTER]ManagedAttribute(currencyTimeLimit=15) @[SETTER]ManagedAttribute(persistPolicy="OnUpdate") int base = 10
Or this:
|Code Block
@AutoPopulate[FIELD](defaultValue="bar") @ManagedAttribute[GETTER](currencyTimeLimit=15) @ManagedAttribute[SETTER](persistPolicy="OnUpdate") int base = 10
Or this (using a synthetic annotation parameter):
|Code Block
@AutoPopulate(groovyTarget='field', defaultValue="bar") @ManagedAttribute(groovyTarget='getter', currencyTimeLimit=15) @ManagedAttribute(groovyTarget='setter', persistPolicy="OnUpdate") int base = 10

Walking Tours of Downtown Hagerstown
Come and see Historic Downtown Hagerstown for yourself! Visit the Visitor Welcome Center, just off the Public Square at 6 North Potomac Street. Start your walking tour there!
Jonathan Hager built his first home in Hagerstown in 1739, and set up a prosperous trading post. The City of Hagerstown was laid out in 1762 by Jonathan Hager. Originally called it Elizabeth Town, after his wife, Hager created the groundwork for Hagerstown-Washington County. Hager served in the French and Indian War, and gained positive renown. Unfortunately, Hager was killed in 1775 during an accident, while building a church on land that he had donated. In 1814 an assembly of the town agreed to change the name of the town to Hager's Town, which later evolved to Hagerstown.
Hagerstown has always been the largest town in Washington County and was originally nicknamed the "Hub City" because of the large network of railroads that intersected here. Today it remains a center of activity with many roads and other transits that intersect here. Downtown Hagerstown has a vast history, often overlooked by those traveling through the city. Come explore the hidden history of Historic Hagerstown. For more information visit http://walkingtours.marylandmemories.org.

Maven 2 introduced the notion of transitive dependencies. This feature lets the user specify a dependency on some library say Struts, and by a resolution mechanism all the dependencies of Struts will be retrieved and made available to the build process. Maven v1 on the other hand, required users to be explicit about each and every library that would be retrieved, including dependencies.
However, I have found that there are a number of cases in which the Maven 2.0.x dependency resolution is not sufficient for many customer scenarios.
Maven 2.0.x Dependency Features
Currently, Maven2 lets you specify a dependency as
|Code Block
<dependency> <groupId/> <artifactId/> <version/> <type/> <classifier/> <scope/> <systemPath/> <exclusions> <exclusion> <artifactId/> <groupId/> </exclusion> </exclusions> <optional/> </dependency>
groupId and artifactId are pretty straightforward and are fixed. They represent the identifier of the dependency.
Variability is introduced with the other fields.
- Version - Currently this is very overloaded. Version can represent a fixed version or a range. Version can also be represented with build numbers and by keywords like (SNAPSHOT for date) (RELEASE for latest). Finally version can also be represented as free text (e.g. 3.0-RC2). The resolution of which artifact matches a version spec is deterministic but some combinations are not possible to specify such as the 4th build of 3.0-BETA (i.e. 3.0-BETA-4).
- Type - For specifying JAR, EJB, POM, etc.
- Classifier - This might be new for 2.1. Currently the M2 resolver doesn't use it. The current documentation suggest its use for additional matching (perhaps for vendor, JDK version, etc.)
- Scope - (compile,provided,runtime,test,system) Scope controls how deep to traverse the dependency chain and affects the classpath for the build tools
- Exclusions - Specifically putting these into a dependency will remove those artifacts from the chain. Is this done just by identifier (group/artifact)
- Optional - Marks the dependency for retrieval if it is the root, but the path will now be followed transitively otherwise.
Requested Features
I have encountered a number of cases which the current dependency mechanism is not sufficient to meet. Some of these are requirements for applications using M2 both in development and production, and one is to provide better tool integration.
Virtual Dependencies
This is sometimes known by the community as 'spec JARs'. Essentially many frameworks have a dependency on standard APIs, normally J2SE or J2EE, and access to the interface classes is needed at compile time. These APIs can have multiple providers with different licenses (e.g. Apache vs Sun) as well as different implementations (open source, app server specifice, etc.) Furthermore, in some cases, these APIs are delivered as part of the J2SE environment (e.g. JAXP comes part of J2SE 1.4). Basically I need for POMs to be able to specify a dependency on something virtual (e.g. JAXP 1.2) and then specify the chosen implementation separately.
Environmental Context
Related to virtual dependencies, the artifact resolution process needs to take in environmental parameters as context. As an example, J2SE 1.4 contains interfaces and implementations for standard APIs. Or, the web application may deployed to a known server environment. These characteristics should be made available to resolve the dependencies, rather than requiring the resolved artifact be present in the local or remote repository (i.e. they might be present in the CLASSPATH already)
Pinning Dependencies (Overrides)
A mechanism is needed for being able to override an artifact in the dependency chain. A primary use of this is for being able to provide hotfixes and patches to release distributions. In many cases the dependency chain for a given release is fixed, and in fact for production use, variation in these dependencies is not accessible. However when there are critical updates to an artifact in the dependency chain, it needs to be possible to rebuild a given application, using the same dependencies, but slotting in or overriding a given artifact with one that is user specified.
Filtering Parameters
While Maven 2.0.x provides some filters (namely version ranges) that enable resolution of a concrete artifact for a dependency, there are additional parameters which need to be passed into the resolution mechanism and perhaps should also be present in the artifact metadata in the repository. The primary ones I have found to be of interest are
- Required J2SE Version - What is the minimum (and maximum?) version required for a given artifact. JARs are currently stored in Maven repositories without indication of the Java version of the classfiles. This will cause trouble for artifacts compiled with Java 5 that a user expects to run in a Java 1.4 environment.
- License - (Apache, GPL, LGPL, etc.) Customers often have specific open source policies in place that define the acceptable open source licenses.
- Signing - Artifacts must be signed by a given authority
- Vendor - Artifacts must be retrieved from a given repository or provided by a given vendor.
- Tags/Release - For commerically backed distributions, it would be very helpful to be able to filter by vendor version (mycompany-distro-2.1) and tag the artifacts as appropriate. Defining an all-encompassing POM is not the same as tagging an artifact.
- Debug/Obfuscation - Want to be able to specify to use debug enabled vs not or obfuscated vs not.
All of these parameters should be able to be configured as settings for the application or on a system wide basis that would be applied to overlay the resolution mechanism. They should be able to be either hard requirements (stop if they can't be satisfied), or soft preferences e.g. (+debug or ==JDK1.4)
Blacklisted Artifacts
Related to filtering, in some cases an artifact deployed to a repository may have problems and the specific artifact needs to be blacklisted, like in the case of a bad build. Currently repositories can be blacklisted, but this feature could be extended to exclude specific artifacts and versions, possibly by MD5 checksum also, so that they can be removed as candidates for dependency resolution.
This is useful in the case where if A depends on B depends on C. Then if B uses a version range that would match a new build of C but the developer only has control over A's POM and not B's, then the dev could blacklist C's latest build.
Human License Acknowledgment
There are two primary aspects for this requirement. One is the case where a vendor requires a user to confirm a license before downloading. This is the case for example with Sun and the BCL for many specification JARs. Eclipse has implemented this feature in the plug-in manager to require license acceptance. Another case is when through transitive resolution a user is actually importing more code than they think. For example, a user may specify an artifact with an Apache license that has a dependency on LGPL. The user should be notified that by using the code they are accepting not only the Apache license through the prime artifact, but also the LGPL through a dependency.
Exposing Dependency Resolution to Clients
Maven 2.0.x provides an ArtifactResolver whose purpose is to download the JAR associated with an artifact and an ArtifactCollector which does the dependency resolution. There are cases for client tools when a user would like to be able to visualize the dependency resolution mechanism in order to determine how applying different filters (for example) affect the traversal of the dependency graph. I'd like an API for being able to get the dependency graph of a given root artifact, with environmental parameters. The graph should highlight the potential artifacts for a given node, as well as which artifact would actually be selected. This would also seriously help with debugging a dependency chain.
Maven 2.1.x design suggestions
This might be out of place for a wiki document discussing needed features but after diving into maven-artifact 2.0.x for not only searching to see if the features could be done using the current APIs and tracing through the code to fix various resolution issues, maven-artifact seems designed as an extension of artifact handling for Maven 1 plus the addition of a transitive dependency mechanism. I would suggest a fresh look at the dependency handling, given the added features.
As an example, the Artifact object actually means two different things, a dependency and a resolved dependency. Likewise, the ArtifactResolver actually means both dependency resolution, and JAR downloading resolution. I would suggest that Artifact handling be refactored into both a maven-artifact-dependency package and maven-artifact. A dependency can be resolved into multiple artifacts, and in fact a dependency chain has a number of different successful 'walks'. Separating this from artifact resolution (which is obtaining the JAR) would help not only client tools, but also make it clearer for integrating new features, and debugging.

Pope Saint Paschal I
- 11 February
- formerly 14 May
Son of Bonosus. Studied at the Lateran Basilica in Rome, Italy. Benedictine monk. Abbot of Saint Stephen's monastery, which was near the Vatican, and which housed pilgrims to Rome. Elected 98th pope in 817.
Defended the Greeks against iconoclastic emperors, and sheltered refugees from the iconoclast persecutions. Supported Saint Nicephorous and Saint Theodore Studites. Enshrined the relics of Saint Caecilia and other martyrs.
When two papal officials were found blinded and murdered, Paschal was accused of the crime. He was not involved, but the murderers were members of his household, and he refused to surrender them, claiming that the victims were traitors, and that secular authorities had no jurisdiction over events that occurred within the Vatican. The dispute resulted in the Constitution of Lothair, which set specific limits on the law enforement and judicial powers of the pope.

View from the Stands (6/12/2013)
by Eric Arnold, Knoxville Raceway Blogger & Twitter Commentator
The World of Outlaws series comes to Knoxville this Saturday night. This will be the last time we see the Outlaws at Knoxville until August 7-10 for the Nationals. We will likely see a few Outlaws show up for the Capitani Classic on August 4 however. At the May 11 Outlaws event Donny Schatz walked away with the win and he has since been getting better on the tour and is currently third in the point standings and rising. In the past ten WoO events Schatz has the best average finish at 5.0, while point leader Daryn Pittman has an average of 6.8, and Paul McMahon at 7.1. I look for Schatz to be the favorite this weekend and at the Nationals.

Kurtley Beale has replaced Quade Cooper at flyhalf for the crunch match between Australia and South Africa at Loftus Versfeld.
Beale is shifted from fullback to the pivotal position of No 10, a move that suggests the Wallabies will persist with their expansive tactics. Coach Robbie Deans has neglected to employ the more conservative flyhalf option, that is Berrick Barnes, preferring to utilise Barnes's boot from the fullback position. Barnes will kick for goal.
Nathan Sharpe will captain the Wallabies and will be joined by Kane Douglas in the second row. Sitaleki Timani has failed to recover from a hamstring strain and won't be risked.
Brett Sheehan is the new face on a Wallabies bench that features just two backs.

Grails + CXF Example
Ok, we've been trying to get full fledged web services (providing) working in Grails for quite a while, it felt like it should be easy, as all the bits were there, but all of the plugins to date were more proof of concept vs Enterprise ready (e.g. no control over namespaces).
So, the target was to get CXF running with the following key requirements:
- WSDL First
- Minimal change required to CXF generated interface classes
- Bound to Grails services so we can re-use business logic and interact with domain classes
Step 1: Grails App + CXF
Create a simple Grails application (working from the ground up is the best way to explain it, rather than trying to explain our existing application), create a simple domain class, controller and service.
Download Apache CXF (I used 2.1): http://cxf.apache.org/ and extract somewhere on your PC.
Copy the following libraries from the CXF Installation over into your Grails application lib folder:
Next, add a resources.xml file to your grails-app/conf/Spring folder:
Next, install templates for your app (grails install-templates), then go into src/templates/war and edit web.xml, add the following:
Next, ensure that you turn off the inbuilt URL Mapping for the /ws/* in conf/UrlMapping.groovy:
Ok, now you should be able to start up your application (do this just to make sure you haven't broken anything).
Step 2: WSDL First CXF Service
Now, grab a WSDL, in this case I will use currencyConverterService.wsdlthat comes with one of the many services frameworks I downloaded recently. Go into the bin folder of the Apache CXF folder (where you saved it), and run the following command:
This generates an interface, an implementation and classes for all of the types - all properly marked up and configured. Copy everything generated into the src/java folder in your Grails app (from the com folder up).
Now comes the fun bit!
Step 3: Bind the CXF Service into your Grails Application
Ok, now what we need to do is to tell our Grails application that we have a service, and more importantly bind that service into an existing Grails service.
First we need to edit our Grails service, so that it implements the interface generated by CXF, and then add the methods of that interface with some code:
Ok, good so far. Next step is to do a very small edit to the CXF Service Implementation to do the following things:
- We need to add a placeholder so that we can get Spring to inject the Grails Service into this class so that we can pass through the requests from the CXF class to the Grails service.
- Add code to the service method so that it passes through to the Grails Service
The complete code is below:
Next, we need to go back to our resources.xml and tell CXF that we now have a service, and provide the magic that injects the Grails service into the CXF one to link them together (add the following code inside the <beans> element of the file, under the CXF imports:
The key thing here is the bean creation, that injects the link to the Groovy Service (which is just another Bean once Grails is running) into the groovyObject property of our CXF service. The other piece is just the simple method of creating a CXF service.
It is possible (in some cases - I haven't figured out why it works sometimes), to not use the intermediate Java Impl class, but rather configure the CXF Service to point straight at the Grails Service bean (provided it implements the interface). This makes it much faster, as you don't need to change the generated code at all (ideal).
In this case, the resources.xml would not have the <bean ...> and <ref bean="currencyConverter" /> becomes <ref bean="converterService"/>. Further exploration may explain why it works sometimes but not others (I get a strange error during startup of a Null parameter to CXF).
Step 4: Test!
When you run the application, you should see something like this appearing in the log:
Then, when you browse to: http://localhost:8080/wstest/ws/services you should get the list of services (in this case just one), and then be able to view the generated WSDL (which should have all the same namespaces etc. as the original).
Here are some pictures to prove that it works
Next ... ?
- No idea if this is the best way to do it, or if it will cause issues later on with respect to trying to use any of the more complex features of CXF.
- Also haven't done much testing to make sure it doesn't break other plugins, and we can still deploy it to OC4J with all the new libraries
Clearly, any comments or feedback welcome!
6 Comments
I followed the tutorial but I ended up with the following error:
I'm using cxf 2.1.2 and grails 1.0.3,
any hints?
I'm lost at "Step 3: Bind the CXF Service into your Grails Application" since I don't know if this code should go into src/java/groovy/ConverterService.groovy or someplace else?
Nicola - I got the same. It seems the above missed off wsdl4j-1.6.2.jar as a library.
I also got:
Which ended up being due to javax/xml/namespace/QName being in jaxrpc.jar - removing it fixed the issue, but not sure what onward impact yet.
Note that using <simple:... prefix means the output WSDL contains 'arg0' as wsdl:message parameter names, rather than the original parameter names. It seems that it doesn't handle the @WebParam/@WebResult annotations correctly. So
Thank you for this example!
Starting with a Grails/Maven project mentioned at 'http://grails.markmail.org/message/qr6jfff2f2gtn72h#query:+page:1+mid:6pagliyf3jz3kshm+state:results', I was able to create a webservice that called webservices.
The problem I was having is that various webservice client grails plugins and the webservice plugin CXF have incompatible Jar requirements, either with each other, or with the Grails 1.3.2 and Java 1.6, build 20.
That is understandable that cash makes us independent. But what to do when one doesn't have cash? The one way only is to try to get the personal loans and just commercial loan.

Haiden Palmer Tabbed WCC Player of the Week
SPOKANE, Wash. - Gonzaga University women's basketball junior Haiden Palmer was named West Coast Conference Player of the Week Monday.
The Bulldogs, playing three league games in six days, was led to a 3-0 week by Palmer. The guard averaged 15.3 points, 4.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 3.7 steals per game, while shooting 42.2 percent (19-of-45) from the field.
Palmer began the week scoring 13 points - 11 coming in the first half - in the Bulldogs 82-51 win at the University of Portland. She also grabbed five rebounds, passed out four assists and made three steals in 24 minutes of play.
She was then crucial in GU's 74-59 win over BYU; the Cougars first in conference. She tallied 11 points, had three rebounds, three assists and two steals in the home win.
Palmer saved her best game for last; scoring a game-high 22 points in the Zags 62-50 win at the University of San Diego. She scored eight of the team's last 12 points to have hold off any Torero comeback. She added a game-high six steals, along with four rebounds and two assists.
This is Palmer's first WCC honor of the year and the second of her career.
Also nominated: Jackie Nared, Saint Mary's; Amy Kame, San Diego.

'Mad Men' Newbie Ben Feldman Is a Cutie – The Daily Swoon
Ben Feldman showed up last year on 'Mad Men' and instantly won us over with his mix of wit and cuteness, and we can't wait to get more of this guy when the new season starts on Sunday.
In the lead-up to the premiere, I thought we should highlight a few of the show's sexy men. We've already featured Jon Hamm before, but what about the other lovely gentlemen on the series?
Meet Ben Feldman — an actor who's been around for a while now in films like the 'Friday the 13th' remake and 'Cloverfield,' as well as a recurring role on Lifetime's 'Drop Dead Diva.' Last year, he joined the cast of 'Mad Men' as Michael Ginsberg, a guy who shares a surname with one of the greatest writers of all time, but whose attitude is anything but cool.
He's kind of a doofus and doesn't always say the right thing, and his fashion sense is … questionable at best, but my goodness, he's so damn cute that you forgive how dorky he is.
Check out some pics of Feldman below, and get stoked for the special TWO HOUR 'Mad Men' premiere this Sunday on AMC.

Written by John Clifford on 01/20/2009
The South took the field at Ladd-Peebles for the first time on Tuesday afternoon, with standards team warm-ups breaking out to positional work: OL in 1-on-1, DL in footwork, DBs in footwork and sight/hands for the ball, etc.
My interest for the moment follows the 3 QBs working with the WRs and their route running. Immediately the passes are sailing, coming up behind the receivers, one after another. Pat White hits Ole Miss WR Mike Wallace on a 40-yard corner post route to end that drought. On sideline screens Wallace takes the ball into the body. Gamecocks WR Kenny McKinley follows suit. By contrast, Texas WR Quan Cosby takes the ball out of the air with his hands in a ready-to-ready stance and shows as much with his burst downfield. Two suspect throws on square-in route leaves receivers bobbling balls. My mind is drifting to Vegas (South has to be a favorite, but on execution early returns, North is going to smoke 'em)… Cosby doesn't run a particularly good route in terms of a square cut, but he makes up for it with his stretch in stride to snatch the ball with his hands and save the completion. And if a completion was ever "saved" it was the next one, Georgia WR Mohamed Massaquoi pulled in a mystifying one-handed grab. Kenny McKinley followed with a bobble he knew he should've reeled in. Mike Wallace, with a solid reception, leaves me wondering about this group and who's pushing Cosby here? Him? Nobody? Ironically, given my thoughts on the receivers, Clemson QB Cullen Harper's next throw lands short on a go route. Pat White then manages to hit Cosby. John Parker Wilson had his ball sail and land short.
The contrast in NFL-caliber arms between the trio of QBs on the North and South squads is staggering.
The offensive line is working zones, groups of three from center to tackle. Top prospect, Ole Miss OT, Michael Oher shows an elevated level of physical intensity in his play, more than the cliché "he has a mean streak" would do justice to, and that's nice to see from a top prospect – and it reminds me of an interview given by Auburn's Marcus McNeil during his practice week here – essentially saying his attitude and preparation is that he needs to always earn his spot. It clearly helped McNeil then. I'm not sure it can help Oher the same way, but my chips are going on Oher NOT being among the high draft pick tackle busts, and the aforementioned reasons among my thinking.
WRs and DBs face with McKinley beating Jackson State CB Domonique Johnson. Troy's Sherrod Martin makes an outstanding defensive break up against Mike Wallace. McKinley once again lines up and has no trouble getting off the line and around the defender, this time it's Wake Forest CB Alfonso Smith. Quan Cosby's day has what feels like its first bump in the road when West Virginia DB Ellis Lankaster defends the pass. For a third consecutive rep, McKinley beats the defender, this time with even greater ease, facing Wake's Chip Vaughn. Vaughn immediately redeems himself, lighting up Bulldogs WR Massaquoi on the next play. And finally, a DB, San Jose State's Coye Francies jams up Kenny McKinley and gets the best of him.
In 9-on-11, the South OL was dominant, if this is any precursor to the game and play-calling (and perhaps my earlier handicapping and prediction), with a combination of hand offs and short passes behind it, but he play of the Herman Johnson from LSU and Michael Oher from Ole Miss, both just shoving people around and getting to the second level quickly, whenever the play required them to clear a path.
Moving to 5-wide versus 7 defenders, White opens it up with a horrible INT intended for Mike Wallace. On the next play, Southern Miss TE Shawn Nelson makes a great save, over the middle of the field and in a lot of traffic; he lays himself out to snatch the ball out of the air and hangs on. White completes his reps with a check down to Tennessee RB Arian Foster and right out of a Southwest Airlines commercial – "Wanna get away?" – He flat out drops the dump off pass, not off his shoulder pads, a biceps, nor his helmet – but off the fingertips of his two hands. Ouch.
Clemson RB James Davis has a nice catch and run underneath on a 3rd & 10. Harper makes McKinley work, with a terrible throw that's behind and low. And it's hard to imagine the same arm throws the next pass, 30 yards and perfectly over the defense to Bama TE Travis McCall. McCall's teammate, John Parker Wilson tries, but cannot deliver the same throw, sailing it with too much air underneath, it comes up short, and Wake's Alfonso Smith makes a nice play to intercept.
Pat White's reps are highlighted with an NFL-caliber throw, over the corner and under the safety, to the sideline and over the outside shoulder (perfect placement and White would probably bank it and prefer not to shoot another reel take) – Mike Wallace does his part with a nice reception, completing the pass that's delivered on-time and on-target.

Students are coming back to make a difference across Cleveland County.
The county's Youth Commission is back in session for its second year. The group is modeled after the county's commissioner board. The non-profit organization, composed of upperclassmen from area high schools, plans service and fundraiser projects each month while in session.
The commission operates according to bi-laws and general rules similar to other county commissioner boards.
"It's a way to connect with your county in a different way without school or a church affiliation," said Alli Howell, the commission's president.
The 22-student commission met this week, and members voiced ideas on projects for this year.
"We're another voice for youth. It's a way to connect without school or church affiliation," Howell said of the commission.
County Commissioner Mary Accor supervised the meeting. Vice president Saronda Williams said she joined to expand on her current volunteer work with youth. She's looking forward to planning a fundraiser this year to benefit children across the county.
"We're not just sitting around. We're actually making a difference. We are working to better the community," she said.
The commission voted unanimously to visit Cleveland Pines Nursing Center in October. The members will spend time with the center's patients, offering words of encouragement.
The commission meets once a month in the Cleveland County Administration Building. The public is welcome to attend the meetings.
Howell said the commission wants the public to attend the meetings.
"It's a great way to get involved in the community. It makes you informed of the little things," Howell said.

Agreed. That's why I think the religious want the "feel good" version that there is more than this. I admit I want that version too, because while qualitatively life is "good" (on this end), quantitatively it isn't long enough. If I am lucky to live to 100 (no guarantee) and those 100 years are good qualitative years, they are only a spit in the bucket. So the religious can tell themselves, even if my life is short on earth, I will have eternity in the next life. The rest of us don't get to believe that even though we may want it.
But, if you could have an extra 100 or 1000 years, like the transhumanists are working on, that would probably be enough "living." Real immortality would be mind-numbing—what new experiences could we have after 100 million or a billion years? The "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" books used to have fun with immortal aliens that were bored and running out of new things to amuse themselves with.

Local law enforcement said they intend to take sweepstakes gaming on a case-by-case basis when enforcing a statewide ban scheduled to go into effect today, Jan. 3.
The gaming industry had sought a few weeks delay on enforcement while they prepare a case for the U.S. Supreme Court claiming the ban is a free speech violation. The state's high court denied the request last month and set today for reinstatement of the ban.
Enforcement can begin immediately, according to a letter sent to Onslow County Sheriff Ed Brown from Eddie Caldwell Jr., executive vice president and general counsel for the N.C. Sheriff's Association. The letter advises law enforcement to consult with their respective district attorneys.
Brown said he intended to sit down with Onslow County District Attorney Ernie Lee next week.
"My feeling is the law is the law," Brown said. "I would appreciate some compliance, and those business that are running sweepstakes can comply rather than be indicted."
Brown said he will also use state agencies like N.C. Alcohol Law Enforcement, which has experience in closing non-compliant businesses.
Lee said his office will work with local authorities to enforce the law.
He said he has requested law enforcement in his jurisdiction — which also includes Duplin, Jones and Sampson counties — to contact his office if they have any questions concerning the applicability of the law banning sweepstakes gaming.
The D.A.'s Office will determine whether the statute has been violated and whether there is sufficient evidence to prove any alleged criminal violation can be proved beyond a reasonable doubt.
"In cases involving gambling involving video sweepstakes, this office is prepared to review the evidence on a case-by-case basis, after investigation by law enforcement, to determine whether the elements of the statute have been violated and if any alleged violation can be proved beyond a reasonable doubt," Lee said.
Sweepstakes gaming is already banned by city ordinance within the limits of the City of Jacksonville.
The ban could shut down hundreds of businesses across North Carolina. The Daily News attempted to interview several local sweepstakes owners, but they either didn't return messages or declined comment through employees.
The high court upheld the ban on video sweepstakes Dec. 14 by overturning an Appeals Court ruling that regulating the games violated free speech.
The Court of Appeals had declared N.C. General Statute 14-306.4 — which bans the operation of electronic machines that conduct sweepstakes through the use of an entertaining display — violated free speech. The N.C. Supreme Court ruled the statute is constitutional in that "this legislation regulates conduct and not protected speech."
The high court found, "it is clear that the General Assembly considered these sweepstakes systems to be the functional equivalent of gambling, thus presenting the same social evils as those it identified in traditional forms of gambling."
As indicated in the opinion, "since the founding of this nation, states have exercised the police power to regulate gambling."
The state's Supreme Court held that "North Carolina's approach has evolved from a total ban on casino gaming and lotteries to authorization of a state-run education lottery and limited casino activity on Native American lands within the State."
Some within the gaming industry may have already found a way to skirt the statewide ban.
Attorneys for two companies that provide gaming technology wrote in a letter to law enforcement last month that their clients planned on converting their sweepstakes to a "non-entertaining reveal system." The letter noted that one state court ruled that such a system did not violate the ban on sweepstakes, which only prohibits using "electronic entertaining displays to reveal sweepstakes winnings."
Sweepstakes parlor patrons buy prepaid Internet and phone time that gives them the chance to win cash by playing games on an arcade-like computer screen. Some games are similar to slots and poker. It was not clear what a non-entertaining system would look like.
"Every time a law comes into effect there's a loophole that they try to lasso," said Capt. David Ciamillo, commander in New Hanover County's Vice and Narcotics Unit. "Whether that loophole is legal is something lawyers are going to have to hash out."

10 Growth Strategies from Inc. 500 CEOs
Have fun!Make realistic promisesStay competitive, always Reward your fansKnow your audienceKeep your competitors closePerform outside researchAddress your weaknessesBe honest Keep your employees happy
"Companies have to worry about if employees are on Facebook, if they're on Twitter, if they're going to be texting, going on Youtube. That constant instant gratification of entertainment is what you're up against," says Armando Montelongo, the former Flip This House star who now mentors others on how to flip properties of their own. Montelongo wins over his staff by simply being more fun, surprising employees with parties and outings, incentivizing them with contests, and showering them with attention. "Even though they have a great time, our employees tend to be much more focused, which is why we continue to more than double the size of our company," Montelongo says.
"Some companies will go out and promise the consumer certain advantages," says Josef Gorowitz, CEO of Prodege, an online customer loyalty rewards program. "What we give to our users is part of the revenue that we receive. We make sure we don't overpromise; we pay out what we can." Gorowitz, who is also trained as a rabbi, attributes his business know-how to his grandfather, a post-war Russian immigrant who started his textile business from the ground up. However, Gorowitz believes that the fundamentals of Jewish law—honesty, underpromising, and overdelivering—are the same drivers of his company's growth. "We promise what we feel we can give back to the community, and we keep building on that steadily," he says.
Nearly twenty years since the company first opened its doors, Complete Landscaping Systems is still growing thanks in part to its fiery CEO Laura McMurray, who joined the staff six years ago and reignited the company's competitive spirit. "I strive for excellence no matter what I'm doing," she says. "I have a hobby of riding horses, and I can't just simply go ride a trail horse; I have to get on a performance horse that I can do something crazy on." McMurray gets her competitiveness from her father, who single-handedly ran his chiropractor business throughout her whole life. "He instills in me an amazing amount of drive and ambition," she says. "I want to win."
By 2001, Andy Levine, then the manager for the band Sister Hazel, had built an army of passionate fans that did everything asked of them: They put up posters, called radio stations, and even let the band sleep on their couches. Eventually, the fans approached Levine asking for a vacation, just "a weekend to grill out hot dogs and hamburgers and drink beer with the band." Levine realized that by super-serving the fans he already had, they would be so thrilled with the experience that they would recruit more people to come join. "That's the strategy I've had the most success with, and it's the core of what we're doing today," he says. Levine's company Sixthman brings entire communities of fans together with their favorite bands, like 311 and KISS, on theme cruises and vacations.
Everything is customizable these days, so David Prokupek wondered, why not hamburgers? Prokupek, who treats his company Smashburger like a tech start-up, is constantly innovating and upgrading, from the overall aesthetics of the restaurant to the food itself. In just four years of operation, Smashburger has grown nationally by acting locally: Each one of its 111 locations offers a menu customized to the marketplace, which is antithetical to most other burger joints. "We go into new markets, we custom design different burgers, different side items, different shakes, different local craft beers to really become every city's favorite place," Prokupek says.
Before he started Century Payments, Robert Wechsler ran global sales and service for Chase Payment Tech, now a fully owned division of JP Morgan, for almost six years. "I knew a lot of really talented people that I met in competitive environments—we'd both be trying to get the same customer or same partner—and I took notice of them and created a relationship with them," he says. When Wechsler launched Century Payments, he reached out to his old competitors, offering them a chance to innovate and retire early—an opportunity they couldn't refuse. "The people we have are winners," he says.
"We started the company to reset the mentality of how people think about videogaming," says Brett Lovelady, CEO of Astro Gaming, which sells stylish videogame accessories for game enthusiasts. Lovelady, who founded the company, wanted to separate his brand from the other big gaming accessory companies, which only delivered minimalist solutions, by creating chic and authentic accessories that enhance the overall gaming experience. "We really looked outside to understand consumers and consumer markets," he says. "We looked at anything that didn't have to do with technology: sporting goods, toys, housewares—anything that was more pure design, and then we layered back in technology over the years. That change in perspective allowed us to see what people want and help us understand who we're developing, designing, and defining products for."
Soon after Cadillac Stone Works moved to Las Vegas, demand for fabrication-only construction businesses on the strip plummeted, and the company was in jeopardy of falling apart. That is, until president Jeff Grail came across an installation company ready to go out of business, and made a game-changing decision. "I acquired the company," Grail says. "You stick with what you know, and I did not know the installation side of this business, especially in a market like Las Vegas." By purchasing the company, Cadillac Stone Works now covers all of the bases required to thrive in the current market, whether it's construction, installation, or renovation, and is enjoying newfound success. "I knew I had a weakness, I found my weakness in my company, and I was able to turn that into a tremendous strength."
Many people are unaware or uninformed about alternative forms of energy, so it makes sense that honesty and integrity are the cornerstones of Sundurance Energy, a company that designs, builds, operates, and maintains large-scale solar electric projects. "Being straight shooters with our customers and being very honest right from the upfront discussions is really a key part of our success," says Allen Bucknam, CEO of Sundurance Energy. "When you're in a competitive situation, it can be very tempting to overpromise, and we really resist that. We spend a lot of time rigorously estimating what we're going to do, both from a cost and schedule perspective, so when we put that in front of the customer, we stick to it. No hassles."
"When I started the company, I really did it because I wanted the freedom," says Sean Lonergan, president and CEO of PruGen Pharmaceuticals, a company that creates generic versions of prescription drugs. "I wanted to be able to go away when I pleased, so as I started adding employees on, it was really a lifestyle that I sold to the company too." While Lonergan is primarily responsible for choosing which drugs to make generic versions of, all of the manufacturing and designing falls on his employees, so he makes an extra effort to keep them all happy. "I give my employees a lot of freedom where they don't have to be in the office every day during summertime," he says. "I have the business set up so everything can be done via the computer from wherever they are. I base the company on a lot of freedom."
