The following example of using Groovy to execute arbitrary code in a running web application is excerpted from a longer article. The code and examples can be downloaded from here.
In order to add the GroovyServer to the application, I added the following lines to the Spring appContext.xml file:
You'll note that there are actually two Groovy-related services. The first one, groovyShellService, is the networked wrapper around the InteractiveShell. The second one, groovyConsoleService, is a wrapper around the GroovyConsole, which is a Swing-based application that provides essentially the same facility as the InteractiveShell, but in an application with a nice GUI. Since only the GroovyShellService allows remote access to an application it is focus of this article. But if you're running the server application on the same machine you're developing on, you can hit the URL http://localhost:8080/pimpmyshirt/launchGroovyConsole.html, which will trigger a simple Spring web controller to launch an instance of the GroovyConsole. Just note that for some reason exiting the GroovyConsole will cause Tomcat to exit, but since I mostly use the GroovyShellService, and this is only intended for development and testing purposes, I haven't bothered to try and find out why this is.
Both services inherit from the groovyService abstract bean, which includes bindings for the shirtService, which is a service included in the PimpMyShirt application that we'll explore with Groovy, and an instance of ApplicationContextWrapper, which is a class that implement's Springs ApplicationContext and ApplicationContextAware interfaces. The ApplicationContextWrapper is given a reference to the Spring application context through the ApplicationContextAware interface, and delegates all of ApplicationContext's methods to this instance. I did this because I didn't want the GroovyServices to be dependent on Spring, and while there might very well be a simpler way to pass an instance of the application context to a bean without implementing ApplicationContextAware, I don't know what it is.
After building the application with the included ant script, a war file is produced that it should be possible to deploy to any J2EE application server (although I've only tested it with Tomcat). Once it's deployed and launched, the first thing to do is to connect to the web application at http://hostname:8080/pimpmyshirt/index.html and enter some ratings for the shirts, in order to have some data in the application before we test it:
Now we can connect to the GroovyServer and run some code to display the application's state. As configured, the application will launch the server on port 6789 when it starts, so assuming the application is running on the same machine you're sitting in front of, you can connect to it by just opening a shell and typing telnet localhost 6789. What you'll see is exactly what you'd get if you were to run groovysh on it's own:
We can now issue commands to the interpreter and see the results:
This code uses a Groovy closure to iterate over the ratings for available shirts and prints out the stats for each one. I won't explain Groovy syntax in detail as I go through these examples, since full documentation on programming in Groovy can be found on the Groovy web site. However, before going further I need to point out one difference between executing Groovy in this environment compared to its typical usage. You'll note that in the above example I've used "out.println" instead of just "println," as is usually the case in Groovy code. This is because in normal Groovy "println" writes to System.out, and in a server application, System.out is usually redirected to a log file, which is not where we usually want the output of our scripts to go. To work around this, the GroovyShellService passes in the socket's OutputStream bound to the token "out." So to print to the interactive console, we need to use "out.println" instead of just "println." Although there are other ways to work around this problem, which might be more transparent from the point of view of a user of the shell, I've chosen to do it this way since it's the easiest to implement, and the most explicit with regards to what's actually happening under the covers.
Note that since we've configured the GroovyServer in the Spring application context to have a binding to "shirtService," it's already available to us. If we hadn't done so, we could've also gotten a reference to the service from the application context by prepending the following to the code snippet above:
We can also call methods on the Spring application context to see, for example, what beans are available:
And in addition to the application services that are defined in the Spring context, we can also interrogate the web and application server layers to see how they're configured. For example, we could get the ServletContext from Spring and display its attribute names and values:
We can see from this output that Spring's WebApplicationContext, in which the servlets that Spring uses to provide hooks into it's web framework are defined is bound to the ServletContext's "org.springframework.web.servlet.FrameworkServlet.CONTEXT.pimpmyshirt" attribute. If we wanted a list of which beans were configured in the WebApplicationContext, we could print them out by doing the following:
We could also explore further, and get an instance of the RateShirts view from Spring's ViewResolver:
Or we could get an instance of the RateShirts web controller and view the contents of it's model data after it's initialized:
Obviously this is a sample application with a single service that doesn't do very much, so there isn't that much more we can do with it that would be all that interesting. However, for a real application with dozens or more services that were reasonably complex, it shouldn't be hard to imagine the usefulness of being able to interact with them to test their functionality and experiment with using them.

Glacier Peak's Hryciuk back on field after suffering cardiac arrest

Mark Mulligan / The Herald
Sam Hryciuk practices at Glacier Peak High School on May 1. The Grizzlies soccer player suffered cardiac arrest in February while running and nearly died. Now he�s back playing with the team.
A senior midfielder on the Glacier Peak High School soccer team, Hryciuk headed for the school track.
His run didn't last long.
"I was running around the track and there was a lacrosse team here. I just collapsed and started seizing on the ground," Hryciuk said. "I don't remember any of this — this is what's been told to me. Two of the coaches came over and made me comfortable and then the (emergency medical technicians) came in a couple minutes and shocked me back (to life). I don't know how many times I was shocked, but I died and came back."
Hryciuk, 18, had suffered cardiac arrest.
At home that February evening, Hryciuk's parents, John and Janice Hryciuk, got the kind of call every parent dreads. They rushed to the high school in time to see the EMTs working on Sam, who had a history of heart problems and rapid heartbeats.
"One of (the EMTs) was pumping on his chest and to be honest, we just got on our knees and started praying," John Hryciuk said. "In that situation, when you knew he was gone and they were trying to revive him, (it) was incredible grief, followed by relief and more concern in the hospital."
First-year Glacier Peak head coach Kyle Veach, a pastor at Clearview Foursquare Church, had met Hryciuk through some ministry events Hryciuk attended. He found out about Hryciuk's cardiac arrest on Twitter.
"In my eyes, Sam was done as a Glacier Peak soccer player," Veach said. "... I was absolutely shocked. But at that point, soccer's the least most important thing in the world. It's about his life.
"Essentially, he died on the field."
Once at the hospital, doctors installed a defibrillator in Hryciuk's chest. Instead of the typical intravenous setup — where the defibrillator is wired directly into the heart — Hryciuk has a newer version that is attached between his ribs and skin.
Hryciuk is one of the youngest people in America with the new, less-intrusive defibrillator, which was developed in Europe.
With his defibrillator in place, Hryciuk wanted to get back on the soccer field as soon as he awoke from his coma.
"The first thing they told me is that I'd never play again, and that was right after my coma," Hryciuk said. "Then it progressively got shorter. They thought, 'OK, maybe six months.' Then maybe six weeks and it ended up being only two (weeks) until I started running again. Then another two weeks after that I played in my first game."
His quick returned shocked many, including his Glacier Peak teammates, who were a bit scared to go full speed with Hryciuk so soon after his cardiac arrest.
"I thought he was kind of fragile at first," Grizzlies' senior Matt Johnston said. "When I saw his defibrillator I was like, 'Wow. I don't want to be the cause of anything bad happening.' But he let us know that he's going to go hard on us and he expects the same."
Veach was among those most surprised by Hryciuk's quick return.
"Sam was like, 'I can play!' And we said, 'Yeah right. Not a chance,'" Veach said. "But his doctor said he could play. Soccer was put on the back burner in everyone's mind except for Sam's. But he's just kind of defied all odds."
Veach said that the doctors haven't put limitations on how much Hryciuk can handle. Instead, it's been up to the senior to tell his coach when he thinks he needs a break.
"It's not a minute count," Veach said. "He knows his body and when his heart's going too fast."
Hryciuk has had the defibrillator go off once, startling Hryciuk and his Glacier Peak teammates.
"It did shock me once," Hryciuk said. "The first day I came back to practice fully I did a full-field sprint during a scrimmage, and I turned around and I felt like I got hit in the back of the head by a ball. I had no idea what was going on. (A shock) just ran through my whole body and it was like I got hit in the chest by a sledgehammer, and just like that it was all gone. I fell over holding my chest. I was just sitting there breathing hard, and then I was fine."
John Hryciuk, who is the public-address announcer for Glacier Peak's home soccer games, said that doctors still aren't sure what happened. All are in agreement that Sam has been cleared to play, although John said he still worries a bit while watching Sam on the field.
"As parents, we certainly are concerned," John Hryciuk said. "We don't want to see that happen again. But there is a measure of confidence there and peace of mind that he has this device."
Upon his return, Hryciuk made an immediate impact. In just his second game back, Hryciuk scored the game-winning goal in double overtime on April 1 to give the Grizzlies a 2-1 victory over Meadowdale.
"A corner (kick) came in and I shouldered it in — with the shoulder that's the same side (as the defibrillator) — and scored the game-winner. The whole team just swamped me," Hryciuk said. "And I was running towards the crowd with my hands (in the shape of a heart) on my chest. It was awesome."
Hryciuk said it took a while for him to get back to full strength. He takes medicines that make him tired, so it takes a lot more energy to play a soccer game than before. Just this past week Hryciuk said he finally felt how he used to on the soccer field.
"I hadn't really felt 100 percent until our last game on Tuesday night against Shorecrest," Hryciuk said. "I played the whole game and felt back to normal."
Having Hryciuk is a huge boost to a Glacier Peak (10-2-2 overall) team that is 8-1-2 and tied for first in an incredibly competitive Wesco 3A South league that features four teams with seven or more league wins.
Veach said the versatile Hryciuk is a huge asset because of all he brings to the Grizzlies.
"He's a leader. Leader, leader, leader. As much as you can get," Veach said. "Kids follow him instantly. He's the vocal one. He might not wear the captain's band, but he's one of the captains of this team."
Said Johnston: "He's a big asset to our team, I'm really thankful that he could still play soccer. I know he loves it and we love having him on the team."
Hryciuk has decided not to pursue soccer in college, declining a spot on the PLU team, opting instead to attend the University of Washington.
But before he becomes a Husky, Hryciuk wants to help the Grizzlies finish the season in a memorable fashion.
"Obviously, the goal would be to win state," Hryciuk said. "That's what we've all been looking at. It's a lofty goal for sure. But that's the ultimate prize.
"For me, I'm just so thankful to be with these guys. I'm just happy to be a part of this team."

Yup, they did it again. Shelters across the country inched that much closer to taking home the grand prize in the ASPCA Rachael Ray $100K Challenge. The numbers are in for September, and the contestants saved a total of 36,017 animals in just two short months. That's a jaw-dropping increase of more than 8,000 animals over the same two months in 2011!
Check out the complete results for August and September.
The shelters have less than three weeks until they reach the finish line. Who do you think will take home top honors?
For all the minute-by-minute Challenge action, please visit www.aspca.org/100k.
The winners are the humans who have shown deep compassion for the greater beasts of this planet. The Animals.
Our NO-KILL shelter was inundated with a kitten explosion - 75 to be precise! Thankfully, they were all in foster as our shelter is rather small. Our shelter was also full with cats and dogs and we had a waiting list for animals to be surrendered but we had no room. We ended up having a "Kitty Clearance" whereas we had heavy media coverage and we stayed open extended hours for an entire weekend and we dropped our prices a bit but we still were vigilant with approving our applications. We wanted to ensure quality adoptions. In one day, we moved 24 kittens, 3 cats and 1 dog! The second day we moved another 6 kittens, a few more cats and 4 dogs! All in all, the other kittens are now being weaned from their moms and are gradually coming into the shelter for placement. We're considering another event AFTER Halloween (we won't adopt out black cats in October unless it's someone we know, for obvious reasons - we're in Massachusetts). Congratulations to everyone whose hard work has placed thousands of animals in loving, fur-ever homes...winning the contest is just gravy! Great job!!!

Regardless, this isn't quite the CP3 situation. CP3 was going to be gone in a year and there was nothing we could do about it. We didn't really have much leverage because there were only certain places he would be content with going to, so a lot of options were crossed out.
Gordon on the other hand will be forced to play at least 3 years which gives time to fix the situation (not the big point, but I do believe Gordon can be swayed), but also gives time to find better assets than Kendall Marshall (who with Rivers is an awful pairing defensively) and maybe a later lottery pick.
Gordon's too big of an asset to just let walk away for some mediocre asset that might not even be better than what we have currently, and agreeing to a lowball Phoenix offer would clearly be shortsighted and giving into the demands of a RFA, which would be stupid. The Hornets hold all the leverage here whether you want to believe it or not.
The Suns already put their necks out by offering Gordon an overpaying contract. To expect them to also give up MORE than he is worth in trade... despite being a free agent, is something that will not ever, ever, ever happen. I unequivocally guarantee that if Gordon is traded it will be for NOTHING like the high amounts some here are expecting.
If I was in the Hornets shoes I would do exactly what you said. Say "Screw it, we arnt going anywhere for a few years anyway, tough it out with Gordon on this bad deal, if anything just to save face from the CP3 trade". But if the Hornets do decide Gordon is being too much of a ****** in the media and decide to trade then it will be, at best, on a level similar to what I laid out.
I agree the Suns shouldn't give up too much for Gordon. You guys would be a borderline playoff team again and if you don't have many draft picks, it'll be pretty hard to really improve and be anything more than a lower seeded playoff team (just my opinion, I could be wrong).
The thing with the latest Gordon interview was that he originally didn't want to even talk about free agency, so it's not like he's going out of his way to bash the Hornets. He just seems really disrespected and honestly 3 years of being the highest scoring and highest paid player of a franchise should quiet him down. If his ego becomes a problem, then just ship him out when a good offer comes around. A team will get desperate eventually and take him and give up some assets.
The Hornets are just giving up too much leverage and control if they agree to a sign and trade or let Gordon walk. Too many other options out there to settle for a sign and trade with just one team and he's too good to just let walk.
I think it's most likely he's matched and we just make the best of things unless Phoenix is willing to really go all out for him, which would not be smart.
The keep Gordon. All I can say is that you'll have him for three years then he'll leave for nothing.
Eric Gordon's contract with the Suns will have ; 1) a player option on his third year. 2) a trade clause .. He can only be traded with his approval. 3) a backloaded contract right about the time ARivers & ADavis.
Right now we just need to get all the assets as possible, and losing Gordon would be losing a big asset.
I just want the 11th to get here /:
Did you not see Lowry play before he got injured? And by placing him in the same category as Holliday/Kidd/Lin you just lost all credibility. Lowry is way better than them.
That's like comparing Anthony Davis and Arnett Moultrie.
Holiday put up slightly worse stats but they were very close/comparable.
And ask anyone if they would rather the far better passer in Rubio or Lowry?
Not everything is statistics I will give you that, but saying Lowry is anything better than a top 15 point guard is reaching.

This is all so LOLWORTHY!
To clear things up for you guys, this is what will happen.
Suns will try for a sign&trade and offer a couple picks and marshall. NO will say "Nahhh, we want more"
Suns will say "nope".
EG will then sign offer sheet.
NO will match.
EG will play out his contract, NO will be on the rise with Davis coming into his own in a few years.
EG will be UFA.
NO lose EG for nothing.
Anyone who is anyone is fully aware that the only reason EG wants out is because he is scared the football team is gonna put a bounty on him.
Have fun ladies.
Edit: For those who think it was poor management to offer EG the max...what's wrong with forcing a max deal on a fellow rebuilding conference team?

Is it the 11th yet? And here I thought some of the new Hornets fan posters were bad... I'll never understand why people bother to register to fight on a forum for a couple of days over some topic of limited/perishable relevance. Give it a rest and go dawdle on your own team's forums where everyone will agree a second round draft choice plus some overpaid veteran is more than enough trade value for Gordon.
"Hornets means nothing." - Tom Benson
#1) Gordon's deal from the Suns will have a player option on the fourth year. His deal MUST be at least 3 years by rule.
#2) He can't have a no trade provision in his deal. He will have a right of refusal in the first year if the Hornets match, and then a right of refusal in the last year for a whole different reason. But his contract can not have a no trade clause.
#3) They can not back load a maximum deal. It is, in words, a MAXIMUM deal. Aka, the maximum he can make each season. This isn't the NHL.
#4) Don't try to tell us what we should do. We have it covered.
To clairify:
"Then keep Gordon then, he'll leave blah blah sky is green"
Don't tell us(fans and Hornets) what we(Hornets) should do. We(Hornets) have it covered. For so many so obvious reasons.
I find it interesting that even a Rockets fan is jumping on the Lowry is better than Dragic bandwagon considering the Rockets themselves seemed to want Dragic(which started most of this mess that lead to Lowery being traded in the first place). And if we're talking stats, Dragic was better than Lowry when he took over.
Talking stats and Rubio is difficult considering this was his first season, a shortened season, one that he got hurt, and one that he started on the bench. But I would think any basketball fan can see that Ricky Rubio is an exceptional basketball player that would have to be placed well above Lowry. Personally, I don't see how that's debateable, but if people want to argue about it, go for it.
Lowry is a very good PG. He's not top ten. 15ish is certainly fair and nothing to be upset about. Last time I checked that is very good, and apparently worth a lottery pick.
Another delusional Rockets fan, Gordon would be the face of your franchise and we aren't gonna accept a bunch of scrubs for a top 5 (at worst) SG (when healthy). The Hornets will match his Suns offer and he'll shut his mouth and play ball and keep everything g behind the scenes.
You really have no clue. Like I said above, just because you are still upset the Hawks raped y'all and stole Joe Johnson for nothing doesn't mean the Hornets will get raped also. If that's the best Phoenix offers, we match, and he either gets over all the bull****, or he plays for a year and we trade him for a good return. You are delusional if u think a young guy as talented as Gordon is with 3 years remaining on his contract wouldn't return much. Any team in the league would trade for a player of his caliber with 3 years remaining on his deal and that's not even arguable. The only thing that would de rail it would be another injury filled year and the Hornets are in a position to take that gamble.

WWE show a smash hit with fans in Everett
Mark Mulligan / The Herald
With a boost from his cousin Zak McCall, 8-year-old Dominick Peterson cheers on WWE wrestlers at Comcast Arena on Friday. Serenity Shillinglaw (left), 9, also got a lift to see over the crowd filling the floor. She and her father, Eddie Shillinglaw, drove from Tacoma for the show.

WWE wrestler Daniel Bryan admonishes his tag team partner Kane during their match against Kofi and R-Truth on Friday night at Comcast Arena in Everett.
Comcast Arena was filled with fans shouting and waving signs during WWE's RAW World Tour show Friday night.
Dave Wilson, of Marysville, remembers when his dad bought WWF tickets for his 15th birthday.
Though the franchise now goes by a different name and features different wrestlers, he was excited to share a similar experience with his kids.
Earlier this month, he surprised his son, Joe, with tickets for his ninth birthday. Wilson, Joe and his sister, Emily, 10, lined up at the arena two hours before the show started.
"I'm most excited to see how tall the superstars are in real life," said Joe, who watches professional wrestling on TV every Monday and Friday.
Emily looked forward to seeing her favorite wrestler. "Big Show," but said she didn't like the WWE Divas.
"They don't wear very many clothes," she said.
Son Vu, of Everett, and Brett Spencer, of Bellevue, said that their shared love for professional wrestling helped them remain friends after middle school.
"It's all about the atmosphere, the chanting. We love it," Vu, 27, said.
The two friends said they're not concerned with whether or not the shows are fake.
"It's a story and they're in character; they come out in character, they wrestle in character, they leave in character," Spencer, 27, said. "It's about the theme songs, the fireworks and the finishing moves. That's what it's about."

An apparent algebraic whiz will begin a new job as the Greene County Middle School principal when Lori Garrison steps down on Dec. 1.
After interviewing six candidates, the county's Board of Education approved Norman McDuffy to lead the school during a board meeting last week. A UNC Wilmington and University of Phoenix graduate, he's been an educator in Brunswick County since 2000 and began teaching math at a middle school level.
McDuffy is a successful algebra instructor, former high school basketball coach and current assistant principal at South Brunswick High School.
After five years in that position, he'll transfer to a new county.
"I think I bring to the table an open mind," he said. "I have a passion for education. I have a passion for not only helping students, but educators as well."
McDuffy said he will have a chance to assess the school over the next two weeks before Garrison passes the torch.
"To be in this particular business, you have to be willing to learn new things to gain improvement for student achievement," he said.
He said Greene County Schools Superintendent Patrick Miller called and offered the position.
"He was impressive in both rounds of interviews," Miller said of McDuffy. "He appeared to be a very good fit for what we are looking for Greene County Middle School to keep us moving in a positive direction."
The middle school is recovering its campus from last year's tornado damage.
"I think we're in good shape," said exiting principal Garrison. "We've had a really good school year."
She said, academically-speaking, the students are on track with getting their grades.
Garrison met her successor on Friday and they plan to spend a school day together next week.
"Ms. Garrison is awesome," McDuffy said. "You can tell she's a veteran to the educational field; she really has her stuff together, and I'm looking forward to working with her."
Garrison also had a great first impression.
"He seems to be very professional and very excited about being here at the new principal," she said of McDuffy. "That's pretty much all I know so far."
Garrison, originally from Pitt County, said she's hanging up her principal hat after more than 30 years as an educator to spend time with her family. She began as a teacher in Greene County, moved to Gilbert County to do some educational administrative work and returned to Greene County as a principal four years ago.
"I love what I do. The most important thing to me is my staff and my children," she said. "I just wanted to take the time off."
She said she will use her time off to be with family and do "major traveling out of state and out of country" until she decides what's next.
For now, the Greene Middle community will give McDuffy a chance, whose teaching skills caught Miller's eye.
"He appears to be a solid educator," Miller said.
The board also approved two out-of-state field trips and a key card system change at Snow Hill Primary School during this month's meeting.

Marysville man pioneers use of new heart defibrillator
Marysville man is first on West Coast to receive a new type of defibrillator
Annie Mulligan / For The Herald
Merle Yoney, 78, meets with University of Washington cardiologist Dr. Jordan Prutkin before surgery Thursday morning in Seattle. Yoney, of Marysville, became the first person on the West Coast to receive a new type of internal defibrillator.

Dorothy Yoney shares a moment with her husband, Merle, before his surgery at the University of Washington Medical Center in Seattle. She was looking forward to the benefits of the new internal defibrillator for her husband. He was the first patient on the West Coast to receive the new device.

Annie Mulligan / For The Herald
Dr. Jordan Prutkin and Physician Assistant Lyle Larson look to Boston Scientific representatives after testing Merle Yoney's new internal defibrillator at the University of Washington Medical Center last Thursday.
Yoney, 78, walked out the doors of the University of Washington Medical Center early Friday afternoon. He was the first patient on the West Coast to receive the ">new type of defibrillator"> since the federal government gave final approval for its use on Sept. 28.
Dorothy Yoney provided a quick update on her husband's condition as they wrapped up lunch. She was elated at her husband's ability to bounce back so quickly from his surgery. "He did really well," she said.
They were eager to start the drive back to their Marysville home. "We're happy," she said. "We'll just put our feet up and relax."
The fact Yoney could be discharged from the hospital just a day after his surgery is credited in part to way the defibrillator is wired up with his heart.
The device was designed to detect an out-of-sync heartbeat and trigger an electrical shock that sends the heart back into its normal lub-dub rhythm.
The generator, encased in a container about the size of a business card, is similar but far smaller than the lunchbox-sized external defibrillator units now widely found in offices and schools.
The thin electrical wire, or lead, from the defibrillator's generator doesn't go into the heart, as other defibrillators do. Instead, the wires from the unit are implanted along the bottom of the rib cage and breast bone.
"It stays outside the chest wall and is just under the skin," said Dr. Jordan Prutkin, a cardiologist at the UW Medical Center who performed Yoney's surgery. "Fewer wires mean less chance of infection."
• • •
That was just the type of problem that had led Yoney to contact the UW. Earlier this year, he noticed an unusual swelling in his upper chest. It was later diagnosed as an infection caused by a wire in his defibrillator. He went to Prutkin to get it checked.
Defibrillator wires are much easier to put in than to remove, Prutkin said. Once they've been in about a year, they become encased in scar tissue that grows out from the blood vessels. "You can't just pull it out," he said.
In August, Prutkin removed as much of the electrical wire from Yoney's chest as he could.
Until surgery for the new defibrillator could take place Yoney was given a LifeVest, a portable defibrillator unit with a battery he could wear on his belt. "This has kinda put a cramp in my style; I don't have any energy any more," Yoney said before his surgery. "I can't walk like I used to walk."
Yoney was a Boeing machinist for 31 years, working on the 747, 767 and 777 lines. He retired in 1999.
For the past three months, he just hasn't felt up to the weekly ballroom dancing dates with his wife at a local VFW hall.
His schedule includes morning coffee meet-ups with "the boys," a long-tenured group of friends. "We solve all the world's problems," Yoney said.
And as a volunteer with the Marysville Police Department, he and a fellow volunteer cruise the city in a Chevy pickup, checking on people's homes while they're out of town and assisting with street fairs.
Two days before his surgery, Yoney talked about the upcoming procedure with a calm, outward stoicism bred from his upbringing on a wheat farm near the North Dakota community of Petersburg.
"Modern medicine, they can do anything," he said. "The guys I met down there are young guys. I think they have a steady hand."
• • •
Yoney's history of heart problems dates back to 1979, when he had a heart attack. A decade later, he had bypass surgery.
For the past 13 years, he's lived with a condition that causes both rapid heartbeats and a cycle of irregular heart rhythms that put him at increased risk of sudden death.
It's the same condition that has caused young athletes to unexpectedly collapse and die at sporting events.
Yoney's first defibrillator was implanted in 2000. Since then, he has had two surgeries to replace defibrillator batteries, the most recent of which occurred in April 2010.
"When we do a battery change we have to change the whole unit out," Prutkin said. The batteries typically last five to eight years. In most cases, the wires are left in.
• • •
Nationally, more than 100,000 patients have surgeries to implant defibrillators each year.
The University of Washington participated in an initial test of the new defibrillator last year.
It currently is one of seven medical centers in the country approved to implant the devices. For the next several months, it will be the only site in Western Washington where the new devices can be implanted, Prutkin said.
Two types of patients will benefit most from the new defibrillators: Those who like Yoney have had infections from a defibrillator wire, and young people, especially athletes, he said.
The wires in traditional defibrillators can't be as strong and stiff as those in the newer device. "If they were, they would poke a hole through the heart," Prutkin said.
Younger people are more active and the electrical wires, or leads, don't tend to last as long because of their activity, he said.
Because the wires are placed in a different spot in the chest, the leads in the new type of defibrillator, made by Massachusetts-based Boston Scientific, can last longer and would be a good choice for athletes, Prutkin said.
One of the final steps in Yoney's surgery was to test the defibrillator the surgical team had so meticulously stitched into place.
The first time it was programmed to send a shock to Yoney's heart, his heartbeat didn't regain its normal rhythm.
The second shock was programmed in a different way. It worked exactly as expected.
But Prutkin wanted to be sure. The surgical team tested it one more time, with Yoney's body tensing and his chest jumping as the shock was sent to his heart.
Yoney was sent home with a relatively short list of restrictions. No raking leaves or vacuuming around the house and no driving outside the city limits for a few weeks.
On Sunday, Yoney and his wife attended a concert in Everett to hear singer Terry Baker.
Late Monday morning, Yoney had left the house on his own.
"Yes coffee with the boys," his wife said, chuckling as she imagined the how the gathering would play out. "You don't want to sit around them. They don't tell the truth. They do a lot of kidding around."
Before the surgery, Yoney said that once he recovered, he hoped he and his wife could go camping.
"Next spring, we'll be back at it," he said. "I'd like to go back to Yellowstone."
It's been a few years since they've been able to visit, and the drive only takes about a day and a half, he said.
"We drove into the park and here's all these elk and buffalo -- the buffalo standing over there eating some grass," he said. "So peaceful."
Prutkin said there are no medical issues to prevent him from making a return trip. "I would love to see that," he said. "I see no reason he can't go."

SNOW HILL — Greene County commissioners interviewed the first candidate for the position of county manager on Wednesday.
The interview took place in closed session at 4 p.m., following the board's third budget workshop headed by interim county manager, Richard Hicks.
The position became open Dec. 31 when Don Davenport took early retirement following a visit from the State Treasury Department because the county's audit report showed less than a month's worth of cash in the fund balance.
The board set the interview at the May 1 workshop.
"Well, this guy has got a lot of experience," Commissioner Denny Garner said, "but it's not to say that this is the guy that we're going to hire. … it's just an interview."
The county received a number of applications, and the commissioners may interview a couple more, Hicks said.
He has told the board he would stay on until the end of June because he is limited in the amount of income he can take in during retirement. He said he hadn't calculated whether he could stay on longer if the county hasn't hired a manager by then.
But Garner said Hicks has some available individuals who could fill the interim role.
The board met two hours earlier and listened as Hicks went over the figures that some of the departments requested from the county.
"It's a lot of information," Commissioner Bennie Heath said, "— a whole lot to study."
Heath said he couldn't make a comment on the budget will look until more research is done.
"I think they've been very productive," Garner said about the workshops. "Much more extensive than we have done in the past. I mean, we're going line item by line item — every budget."
The board set another workshop for Wednesday of next week to go over the requests of the Department of Social Services, the Health Department and Greene County Schools.
"We've spent a lot of time gathering more detailed information," Hicks said, "so we can have a better knowledge of what's involved in everybody's budget."
He said it would probably be late May or early June before he can determine the amount of shortfall and begin making cuts.
"It's just a wish list right now," Garner said. "But when we get the final budget — we get (Hick's) recommendation — then we'll really fine tune it then."
Garner said some departments have requested more and others less than last year, so far. All the departments that requested more than the 2012 revised budget have also requested more than the original 2012 budget, except for the Register of Deeds.
"Don't know how it's all going to fall out," he said. "But we will have a balanced budget."

We are facilitating detection, diagnosis, monitoring and treatment of vision disorders through innovative research.
We are improving eye care and education for children with Down's syndrome, working with leading space engineers to detect earliest stages of age-related macular degeneration, undertaking cutting-edge research to understand corneal transparency and development, and investigating new treatment regimes for diseases such as cataracts.
Our research is focussed around four themes:
Our research falls into two types of activity:
- Fundamental lab-based scientific experimentation on the eye and visual system
- Clinical patient-based research
Fundamental lab-based scientific experimentation on the eye and visual system
We are studying new investigative technologies and machines for recording visual function to improve the detection of visual problems and to enhance the quality of life for those with visual defects.
Our lab-based research is mainly in the fields of structural biology, cell biology (including cell culture), and neurosciences. A significant portion involves light and electron microscopy.
Clinical patient-based research
Our academics work with volunteers focusing on visual performance including electrophysiological, neurological, behavioural and societal influences on vision. We also work with in-patients to research pathogenesis of eye disease.
Our academics work with researchers from other Schools within the University as well with other businesses and institutions such as Bristol University and the GW4 (Great Western 4) Alliance, which encompasses the universities of Bath and Exeter. This includes working with other academics at the Cardiff Institute of Tissue Engineering and Repair where researchers are investigating corneal transparency, repair and tissue engineering, and the regulation of angiogenesis. We are also very active on the international stage, and collaborate with leading universities in mainland Europe, India, the USA and Japan.
Research Quality
Over 40% of our research outputs were rated as 'internationally excellent' or better in the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise. This resulted in our research being ranked the top School of Optometry in the UK for the percentage of 4* and 3* research.
Postgraduate Research
Our postgraduate research programme provides opportunities for students to gain experience working with world-renowned research leaders, their teams and their collaborators, and gain the skills necessary to pursue a successful academic career on completion.

Scouting Report-There's nothing you can say negative about Ghee when you think about him physically. No doubt he passes the eyeball test. He's got a muscular build and strength to match. The strength of his game is really the physical nature of his play. He's got no beef getting his nose dirty in the run game, and will bring the wood to whomever has the football. Ghee is a rock solid athlete, showing excellent speed and quickness, and is a fabulous leaper. The other thing you see in Ghee that you see in fellow corners like Joe Haden or Kyle Wilson is confidence. He's another guy who thinks he's the best player on the field on every play, and that he can match up with any wide out in the country. You have to love that, so long as you have the skills to back it up. For Ghee, this is the rub. As I watch his games, there are certainly times when he is just that. Whether it's zone or man coverage he is able to play up and shut down wide outs. Then you watch other games and he's just let his footwork go to crap, doesn't get his head around on the ball and misses his assignments. You hate to see that level on inconsistency because you have to wonder which guy he'll be in the NFL.
Draft Status-Ghee is a hot name right now. He's really opened eyes with his physical play, prototypical size and explosive athleticism. Where he's also opened eyes is with the fact that a guy with all that should make more big plays and make more good plays on a more consistent basis. But regardless he's probably got as much, if not more upside than any defensive back in the draft, and that almost assures him of a day one pick, probably in the middle of the second round.
Final Analysis-I decided to write this today, mainly because I am feeling pretty up on Ghee and wanted to keep things positive for him. This is because I think he can be a great corner in the NFL. I mean like top 10 CB in the NFL good. He's got all the physical tools to do it, and in many cases all the technical talent as well. His ability to turn his hips and run paired up with his ability to anticipate routes and read the quarterback are exceptional. If he can just get his head screwed on right, and be all in 100 percent of the time, he'd be a lockdown corner. Oh, and don't rule out a switch to FS. As teams are more interested in players who can cover downfield rather than play in the box, a guy like Ghee who can do both would be a nice player to have. But I think his future is at corner, and though I've mentioned a few struggles, they're nothing that couldn't be fixed with good coacheing. So I grade Ghee high on the tremendous potential he has, and the physical gifts you can't coach.
Reminds me of: Ike Taylor, CB Pittsburgh Steelers-I'd say Ghee's upside is much greater than Taylor's coming into the league, both are big physical guys with great athleticism and supreme confidence who don't make as many big plays as they should.

Day 2
Still playing Barbarian and haven't touched other characters yet. 101 Bounties done, a couple dozen Nephalem Rifts and I still need 4-5 equipment pieces.
Good thing is that I got to 504k Damage with Battleshout buff + Whirlwind and Avalanche damage buff from equipment adds up to a good amount. Though still not enough for Torment.
Many achievements were had, many legendarys were dropped (pretty much every single one useless to me), many gem and blacksmith recipes were dropped and many millions spent combining those damn greedy gems.
I miss auction house and the biding war
My PC specs:
Processor: AMD FX 4300 3.8GHZ QUAD CORE
Graphic Card: Powercolor Devil R9 270x 2gb ddr5 256bit
RAM: 2 pcs. of Corsair Vengeance 8gbx2 ddr3 1333mhz
Mobo: ASUS Sabertooth 990fx R2.0
Started playing my Barbarian again last night reached level 37 after a long time of not playing and everything was so different it threw me a bit and took me awhile to get used to ,Made a crusader but haven't played it yet so far so good found a couple of legendary items and a bunch of upgraded equipment. My other chars are sitting at around level 7 and 10.

Not sure how I'm supposed to join Adventure Mode in Public Games, there seems to be a bug where it automatically places you on a finished run everytime. I actually made a room and waited for people to join, but nope, finished it by myself and not a single person got in. :/
For non-RoS content 180k is enough for T1 but from 60-70 everything grows exponentially, numbers just go insane high.

I won't give an opinion as to my stance on the death penalty at this time. However, it was interesting to see a video clip of George Bush when he was governor of Texas giving the go ahead for an executuion over the phone. He did not issue a stay and added, "He'll have to answer to a higher authority now." Mighty secular of him? Or, doing god's work?
Those 'pro-lifers.' They're such a riot!

I don't think about this so much anymore, but one of the reasons I moved to Paris is that I could, whenever I wanted to, go to Poilâne and buy myself nice chunk of pain Poilâne. Just like that. Although I'm from San Francisco where there are quite a number of excellent bread bakeries, there's something special about the bread at Poilâne – it has a certain flavor, just the right tang of sourdough, dark and husky but with an agreeable légèreté that makes it the perfect bread for sandwiches, to accompany cheese, or as I prefer it, as morning toast with little puddles of salted butter collecting in the irregular holes and a thin layer of bitter chestnut honey drizzled all over it.
A week after I moved to Paris, a friend and I were invited to lunch with Monsieur Poilâne and his wife. Both were lovely people and Monsieur Poilâne was animated and still excited about the bakery he'd owned seemingly forever, which was (and still is) considered the best bread in the world. (I've never met a bread baker who didn't use Monsieur Poilâne's pain au levain as a reference point for excellence.) He took out a piece of paper and a pen, and wrote down a list of places that he wanted to take me, which I thought was odd – yet rather generous – since the man had just met me.
