After being told my blood flow to the placenta was very poor I've been reading this website religiously for information. I've been checking blood pressures daily (been on labetalol for last four weeks) and dipping my urine. Grateful every day that nothing awful had kicked off yet and yet still waiting. Well after finding 2+ protein in my urine and bps in 160s/95s I came in last night for steroid shots and a prob c section tomorrow morning. I'm so glad to have made it to 35 weeks even if baby is a bit small.
I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who contributes to this site because it's been a lifeline for me.
Fingers crossed tomorrow goes smoothly

December has arrived, a month full of magic and sparkle. As a child, the magic came in seeing holidays lights, in laying in bed at night thinking of what might be under the tree, in writing the perfect letter to Santa, and of course baking and eating all those delectable cookies and candies.
These days, I still find magic in holiday lights - especially the twinkling variety - and I look forward all year to a certain holiday treat (that would be dark chocolate peppermint bark), and of course the best thing of all is the miracle of our Saviour's birth.
I'm just now finally getting around to decorating, which is usually concentrated on the mantle. I went for sparkly this year - tiny silver fairy bells, glittered trees and pinecones, snowy wreaths, vintage candlesticks, and hanging paper stars, all in silvery whites.
As hard as it is for me to leave Autumn and embrace Winter, having a snowy mantle to see as I pass by helps the transition. And this year we will have two wide-eyed little boys sharing our Christmas - so I expect the magic of it all will surround us from every side!

-I understand your concerns there but 20-30% of the people who do have Hepatitis B (which if I remember correctly is somewhere just over a million people in the US alone), contracted it as a child--and those who didn't contract it at birth contracted it while in close contact with someone who was already infected.

Over 200 viruses cause influenza and influenza-like illness which produce the same symptoms (fever, headache, aches and pains, cough and runny noses). Without laboratory tests, doctors cannot tell the two illnesses apart. Both last for days and rarely lead to death or serious illness. At best, vaccines might be effective against only influenza A and B, which represent about 10% of all circulating viruses. Each year, the World Health Organization recommends which viral strains should be included in vaccinations for the forthcoming season.
Authors of this review assessed all trials that compared vaccinated people with unvaccinated people. The combined results of these trials showed that under ideal conditions (vaccine completely matching circulating viral configuration) 33 healthy adults need to be vaccinated to avoid one set of influenza symptoms. In average conditions (partially matching vaccine) 100 people need to be vaccinated to avoid one set of influenza symptoms. Vaccine use did not affect the number of people hospitalised or working days lost but caused one case of Guillian-Barré syndrome (a major neurological condition leading to paralysis) for every one million vaccinations. Fifteen of the 36 trials were funded by vaccine companies and four had no funding declaration. Our results may be an optimistic estimate because company-sponsored influenza vaccines trials tend to produce results favorable to their products and some of the evidence comes from trials carried out in ideal viral circulation and matching conditions and because the harms evidence base is limited..
This review includes 15 out of 36 trials funded by industry (four had no funding declaration). An earlier systematic review of 274 influenza vaccine studies published up to 2007 found industry funded studies were published in more prestigious journals and cited more than other studies independently from methodological quality and size. Studies funded from public sources were significantly less likely to report conclusions favorable to the vaccines. The review showed that reliable evidence on influenza vaccines is thin but there is evidence of widespread manipulation of conclusions and spurious notoriety of the studies. The content and conclusions of this review should be interpreted in light of this finding.

Over at the Gawker properties, lady blog Jezebel came up with a creative post-election social media story: Tracie Egan Morrissey decided to make members of the high school set accountable for racist tweets that they sent out after Barack Obama was re-elected. Morrissey writes:
There was an abundance of hate speech on Twitter after Obama's reelection, with people hurling violent and racial epithets. Many of those tweeters were teenagers whose public Twitter accounts feature their real names and advertise their participation in the sports programs at their respective high schools. Calls were placed to the principals and superintendents of those schools to find out how calling the president—or any person of color, for that matter—a "n*****" and a "monkey" jibes with their student conduct code of ethics. We contacted their school's administrators with the hope that, if their educators were made aware of their students' ignorance, perhaps they could teach them about racial sensitivity. Or they could let them know that while the First Amendment protects their freedom of speech, it doesn't protect them from the consequences that might result from expressing their opinions.
Morrissey collected the offensive tweets, along with the names of the students (the majority of whom are assumedly younger than 18), a gleeful accounting of the activities they'd likely list on college applications — such as their sports teams and pageants — their schools, the responses from school officials — the few who responded expressed disapproval — and the news that in most cases, the student had since deleted their Twitter account.
But that deletion will do them little good. For at least two of the teens, the article, headlined "Racist Teens Forced to Answer for Tweets About the 'Nigger' President," published just four hours ago, is already on the second page of their Google search results. It will surely rise to the first page for all of the teenagers mentioned and will probably haunt them for the rest of their lives, and certainly in the short term. College admissions officers are increasingly researching candidates online after all; these 12 high school students now have a rather nasty addition to their application packages.
The legal system recognizes that young people make mistakes; teens get to shed their youthful indiscretions when their juvenile criminal records are expunged as they enter adulthood. Not so on search engines. Google chairman Eric Schmidt once kiddingly(?) suggested that kids should change their names as adults to get rid of youthful mistakes that get archived on the Internet; as arduous as that seems, at this point, it's one of the few viable solutions.
I asked Google if they (or their future-thinking X Lab) have come up with any better solutions since then. A spokesperson just pointed me to a Google help page about removing content from your search results — which is only helpful if your social security or credit card number has been exposed by a site. "Think twice before putting personal information online," it reminds users, a little too late for these teens. Alternately, these kids can get down on their little racist knees and beg Jezebel to add a tag to keep search engines from crawling the page and putting it into their search results.
Jezebel certainly could have done the piece without including the teens' full names. But the tone of the piece is such that it's apparent the writer wanted to shame and punish them for broadcasting their ugly, offensive messages. "They surely will have learned the lesson about how their conversations on social media are not private and that their words do, indeed, have an impact," Morrissey writes.
My colleague Jeff Bercovici reached out to Jessica Coen, the editor of Jezebel, for her stance on the post. Her response is that Jezebel's shaming tactic is helping to teach naive young people a lesson — about racism and about exposing themselves online.
"Even as a minor, you must be eventually held to some grown-up standards regarding the First Amendment, hate speech, and common sense," she replied by email. "And I think there's something larger at play here, and we're going to see this kind of story over and over again until it's innately understood that the line between 'online' and 'in real life' is basically nonexistent. As soon as you are old enough to understand what you're saying — and high school is definitely past that point — what you say online matters. That's the way the world works now."
Coincidentally,ReadWriteWeb published a post today about researchers reflecting on the ethics of using social media content in their research, turning unsuspecting Facebookers and Tweeps into guinea pigs. When it comes to kiddies, one researcher suggests that journalists and academics should "talk to the parents and try to get permission for quotes, especially if you are painting the child in a negative light." That certainly didn't happen here, and realistically, given our views toward the public nature of messages that are sent out TO THE WHOLE WORLD ON PUBLIC FORUMS, isn't something kids can rely on.
This is the world you live in, kids. Everything you say in public — and even private — forums on the Internet has the potential to go more public and to become a permanent part of your Google footprint. Stupid, offhand remarks at 16 may mean you don't get a job at 26.

I started making soft pretzels almost 2 years ago. These have been a hit at holidays, football parties and other family events. My first batch (pictured below) I did a combination of the traditional pretzel and a bite sized one. I would say the bit size have been a lot easier to make for me and have been more popular with the family.
The recipe below is from http://www.thefreshloaf.com/recipes/pretzels
I'm giving the shorter version along with how to make the bite sized ones. If you want to see how to make the full sized please visit the link above.
Makes 6 large pretzels or a lot of bite-sized pretzels
1 teaspoon instant yeast
1 tablespoon malt powder or brown sugar
2-3 cups all-purpose unbleached or bread flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup warm milk (approximately 110 degrees, which is 1 minute in my microwave)
Combine ingredients in a stand-up mixer leaving out 1 cup flour. Once it's all combine, slowly add in the remaining cup of flour till a dough ball can be formed.
Knead the dough till it's smooth, then let rise for 30 minutes.
Once done rising, beat down the dough then place it on a floured cutting board. Cut the dough in half then each section in half. Continue doing this till they are the wanted size.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees
At this point bring water to a boil in a pan and boil each piece for about 5 to 10 seconds. It really isn't much just long enough to see the shape expand a little. I moved them for a minute or two to a wire cooling rack to allow excess water to drip off then move them to a baking sheet, brush them with an eggwash then sprinkle on a coarse salt.
These then cook for about 8-12 minutes till the tops are brown.

Take clear lake, for example- for a decade years on this board and the old one i've been saying three things:
1) massively scale back the military head count
2) get the gov out of the pension biz
3) stop buying healthcare for old people who can afford to buy coverage
I should be a perfect ft, right? Wrong.
According to clear lake, I am therefore a Marxist, presumably because In order to accomplish #2 we would have to give up the money we will lose anyway when SS goes broke.
Look austerity is coming, either way. We ca choose it or our creditors will impose it upon us.
Oh, but somehow te gold standard and equal political rights for stateless aggregations of capital will fix everything.
The problem is that if you are running a deficit you are not taxing people enough to cover your expenses (inverse is also true). So we have been running deficits since the 1960s? So no, you $#@!, you didn't pay in your share. Soylent Green these $#@!ers.
Not only that, but fair share of what? Why should I pay any share of bull$#@! government programs intended as political payback to unions? Why should I pay any share of bull$#@! expenses the Congress incurs to just get itself reelected? You know what I mean ... museums in Nevada, disability payments to people who are still capable of engaging in substantial gainful activity, foreign aid to China and India, bridges to nowhere in Alaska, bull$#@! studies about Chinese prostitutes, earned income tax credits to people who don't pay income taxes but still get "refunds." The list goes on and on and on....why should I pay for any share of that $#@!?

Your generation broke it, we have to buy it. At least try not to sound so ungrateful about it. Your's is a generation of draft dodgers. Whether you were a hippie with some self-serving concept of peace and love or attended protests only to mock the dirty hippie with your deferment safely in your pocket, your generation failed it's first test of adulthood.
When the twin towers came crashing down, my generation (including myself) signed up to serve. When your generation decided to start a war in Iraq, we still served, even if we thought it was stupid. You made the mess, we had to clean it up.
When your generation faced it's first test, you hid, protested, and gamed the system rather than serve. The pro-war deferment crowd (such as my father) failed. They were too weak to stand up for their beliefs. The dirty hippies failed. Their self serving protests sure didn't stop a massive wall of names from being built. The real men of your generation were killed, maimed, and mocked. No wonder we were left with such a worthless, selfish group.
I am a child of the early boomers. I grew up with the belief that your generation took part in something special. The reality is that your defining moment, the subject of so many worthless movies saying how special you are, was nothing more than a bunch of selfish children hiding from responsibility. I grew up being taught (implicity), by good people, that military service is honorable work for the stupid and uneducated and that service in general is nice, but seeking wealth is primary.
These lessons were not explicitly stated, but learned from watching your generation.
So keep pointing at others paying less than you. Keep hiding from your responsibility. We wouldn't want you to change now.
My generation- your children- will keep cleaning up your mess. Your generation will keep reminding us how special you are. You're so very special. At least pretend to act grateful as we try to fix it.
Do me a favor ... go to this website: http://dirtyspendingsecrets.com. It will give you just a small taste of the stupid way the government spends. It spends money stupidly because it is headed up by incompetents and managed by dunderheads. If any business would blow money on the stupid things the way our federal government blows money, that business would not survive a year. But since our government can print money these incompetents and dunderheads could give a flying $#@! about spending money efficiently or smartly. Please, just check out the site ... it will open your eyes.
So when I hear Mr. BHO and others say "fair share," I cannot help but think ... do the politicians want to up the ante to where it take almost everything I make so they can redistribute a giant percentage of it to a bunch of lazy and/or corrupt $#@!s who keep voting them into power? Or, so they can blow it on a constellation of dumbass programs that make no sense?
Why does the left always look at this as an issue of high income earnings not paying enough? Why do they not ever look at the government and its propensity to overspend? For example, why has BHO hired more than 100000 federal workers since he came to power? Why do we have so many duplicative programs in the government? Do you have any idea how wasteful and inefficient that is? There are for example more than 100 federal job training programs. Why does the government spend money on dumb things? Take certain Social Security Disability claims as another example... why make up a rule that says a person limited to "light" work who has less than a H.S. education and previously had to work at a level higher than light and has no transferable skills is per se entitled to disability benefits beginning at age 55? That rule makes no sense! Do you have any idea how many nonsensical rules there are in the government, where it likewise blows billions of dollars? Here is one for you: why do we give foreign aid to China? The country that loans us more than a trillion, and we give them aid! Here is another: why give people tax refunds under the EIC when they haven't paid any income taxes? That makes no sense either.
Don't talk to me about my generation $#@!ing things up....instead talk about how certain people in my generation have $#@!ed it up. This is an important distinction, as there are a lot of folks from my generation who have been pulling this wagon and millions who contribute nothing and are happy to just sit in that wagon and let us pull them along. In short, there a hell of a lot of freeloaders.

As we say in Program, when you point a finger at someone, you have three fingers pointing back at you.. and.. I guess.. a thumb pointing up at God. Or something. Whatever. I don't know. I'm sorry. Okay.
Ask any boomer about their role in all this, and you'll likely hear a similar answer. Wannabe Gordon Geckos and aging hippies agree, "it's not my fault. I'm so very special. Look what he did."
Responsibility isn't simply taxes. Reaponsibilty requires introspection and self-evaluation. These are anathema to boomers. Responsibility requires valuing what's right over what's "fair."
If you've earned great wealth over a lifetime built on the backs of your parents- real men and women- and on the heads of your children- already greater men and women than you'll ever be, great. Enjoy counting your counterfeit money.
You've spent a lifetime paying into a system that allowed your parents to live their final years without crushing poverty. While supporting a generation who paid a price you could never really repay, you accumulated great wealth. This is a good thing, but it was built on your parents successes. The wealth that you think you earned is actually a gift from the great men and women of your parent's generation.
Now, as you reach retirement age (a concept that might not exist for my generation), after all the sacrifice of your parents and your children for you, you want to cry about fair. You are so very special.
Save your left/right boogiemen and red herrings for your next AARP meeting. It's all excuses and blame shifting. You are so very special and important. An ungrateful beggar is unbecoming.
Thanks for The Beatles though. They had hair like Justin Bieber and led to awesome bands like Oasis. On second thought...
Since the 1960s we have started running deficits with regularity. This coincided with the Vietnam, but also a reduction in taxes (JFK). If they wanted to pass some of the tax burden to other incomes, they should have done just that and balanced the budget. But no. Boomers can try to bull$#@! that they paid their fair share because that is all the government asked of them. But Boomers ran the government and opted to pass that debt to future generations.
Here is the other truth. These politicians did not perpetrate this lie because they actually want to end poverty. No, if that happened by some miracle they would have been happy. But the truth is, they perpetrated this lie so they could get voters who were the beneficiaries of these federal expenditures to keep them in power.
So yes, my generation is to blame if you consider that my generation produced these politicians (as well as the Greatest Generation). But no, I do not accept this responsibility. I cannot help it if my generation produced corrupt, lying politicians. Guess what? Your generation has produced the same types of politicians.

The one thing the boomers are doing for you (and concomitantly screwing themselves and their savings) is destroying the value of the dollar. At least when you get jobs (I realize that's a big IF for a lot of you) and are taxed, you'll be paying back a debt that has been massively reduced in real terms due to inflation. Your welcome.
Do not blame my for these deficits. I voted against politicians who pushed against deficits. Unfortunately, many of the one I voted for lied, and guess what, spent more than the government brought in. The real problem here is the intoxicating nature of Washington. It corrupts our politicians.
So it is generational theft here in one sense. If you look at this from the standpoint of what millions of voters want and a multitude of politicians want ... all from my generation. But don't put that rap on me. I've never supported deficits. Not only that, all these years I have paid into the system, I have gotten nothing directly back from the government. My only benefits have been things like the umbrella of protection our military gives us, roads paid for with federal money and a fairly stable financial system.

Can we stop with this generation > than the other crap? I am a part of neither and it gets annoying, they both have the exact same genes (evolution hardly takes place within one gen) so the difference is mostly a consequence of their environment, and quite frankly there was a lot of horrifying acts done in WWII, but I am sure some will say that it was the greatest gen - 1 that are at fault.
Man, some folks here seem to think this article mentions them specifically while dragging their family name through the mud. Their are tens of millions of boomers. Of course not every single one of you created the system. But, your generation did. Should the article instead have listed every person by name born between 1945-1960 who contributed in any way to this message? Some of you boomers have thin skin.
And clear lake, "get educated, work hard, you'll be fine?" Did you even read the article?
Don't you guys have some student loans you need to get back to ignoring?
Well, you can't get a degree in post-modern, calypso lesbian poetry and hope to make a living. That's a big problem for a bunch of kids. They were told they had to go to college to get ahead. So they did and racked up tens of thousands of dollars worth of debt pursuing degrees that are absolutely worthless in the marketplace.
They'd have been better off spending their time as a plumber's apprentice.

Somewhere along the line liberty was mistaken for equality...then the $#@!in' lights went out.
Now, the loans have to be bigger to cover tuition that has vastly outpaced inflation - think 15-20 years to pay off. Add to that that your starting pay is lower than anyone originally expected it would be. Now, you're looking at 25 years to pay off your loans. When you are in a position that you can't even START to get ahead till your late 40s...that's a large pile of $#@!.
I was lucky and was pretty much ahead of that curve, and got scholarships to boot. But for folks a mere 10-15 years behind me, they're in a world of $#@!.
How does it feel you piece of $#@! boomers? How does it feel to tear down and $#@! up the greatest country in the world?
Baby Boomers, why the $#@! should we pick you over our own children? Tremendous amount of debt, not a lot of money, why should society not just push you out the door and spend the next 25 years cleaning up the mess and resetting this country for future generations?
sooner or later the system is going to break. it's better to start cutting back now, across the board, than having it all crash at once.

He asked a very central question, I think, really THE central question - why should we pick the boomers over our own children?
Because to your point, the boomers are redistributing the wealth of future generations, as yet unborn, to themselves.

Edit: personally, I agree with the sentiment. Social security is a wealth transfer from the poorer young to the richer old. But you know what, you youngsters continually vote for the Democrats who are on record as saying that Social Security is fully funded. No problem.

If you'll give me the same....
I'll give the Baby Boomers back their money, but only after the knock the debt down to the level it was when Bill Clinton, the first Boomer in Chief, took office.
We got a deal?
Ask a boomer who is to blame, and they'll surely tell you. Just as surely, they'll point at someone else. They only want what they have coming to them, their fair share.
Your fair share was earned on the backs of your parents and the heads of your children and their children. The American dream used to be that your children had more opportunity than you.
This isn't some red herring about socialism or free market or taxes. This is about stealing from your children and grandchildren and destroying the great country your parents built. You earned your wealth by stealing from your children and my children. You earned and stole your wealth by counterfeiting money, making mine worthless.
"But someone else stole more than I did!" You're all criminals. Your generation gave us nothing but anger, selfishness, self importance, and greed. Even the good men women of the generation have failed. You stole, but you gave some it it back, so that somehow makes it ok. You gave my children's money to some poor people, so somehow that's mot theft. Enjoy your well earned retirement since I'll be spending mine making up for paying for your's.
It isn't about about someone trying to shortchange you from your stolen, counterfeit wealth. It isn't even about expecting introspection for the first time in your life or considering the path of destruction you've waged that will ripple for generations. Just get out of the way and try to be graceful about it as we try to clean up your mess.
Cue the boomers pointing at someone else and the cries of "don't blame me."
You are damn right I will have earned my retirement given the hundreds of thousands of dollars I have paid towards my social security and medicare over my lifetime. Also, I did not give your children's money to poor people. A bunch of politicians did that in order keep themselves in power."But ...You're all criminals. Your generation gave us nothing but anger, selfishness, self importance, and greed. Even the good men women of the generation have failed. You stole, but you gave some it it back, so that somehow makes it ok. You gave my children's money to some poor people, so somehow that's mot theft. Enjoy your well earned retirement since I'll be spending mine making up for paying for your's.
I do not want my "fair share".
For me to get my "fair share" would require me to recoup something I am planning to lose because IT IS ALREADY LOST.
I hope that those who care about the future of this country would be able to understand that if they don't give this one up, we will lose it anyway. But it has to be Generation X. It has to be us- as the smallest demographic group of the three most impacted (boomers, us, and Y), we have a unique window of opportunity to take this one on the chin, because a clear majority will be glad to vote to $#@! us over- the boomers won't lose anything and the Y'ers will benefit from lower taxes and a robust future surplus.
We can be heroes and vanquish the dragon, or we can be the children of cowards, who bested our parents in selfishness.

Haha! I was so excited to download this but it seems like just a fancy schmancy ad for The Force Unleashed. It also took the original phone saber off my phone. Anyways cool enough for a freebie! Hope they add more characters.
iPhone Unleashed Now Available in App Store!
What? Why are you still reading this? Lightsaber Unleashed, the THQ'd official re-release of the PhoneSaber application, is now available from the App Store.
Got it? Good. What do you think? Better than the original? Or totally prequel'd?
Our take after a quicky first look? The UI is... er... underwhelming considering the LucasArts resources. The advertising for the Force Unleashed would be grating if we didn't understand it was basically subsidizing this freebie (and curse the iPhone sandboxing for not letting it know we already bought the dang Force Unleashed, and disabling the adware!) Tying it to the Force Unleashed also, and unfortunately, limits us to that universe and its characters (one of which I would say demands a SPOILER WARNING, THQ!). No Luke, no Yoda, no Mace Windu (no purple!), no Obi-Wan, etc. On the plus, side, we get music!
Bad Ash Bonus from Jeremy: When you are in the app you will see stars in the background that shine every once in a while. Tap on them for a little voice action... (depending on the character you select).
Nice! And, again, it's back and its still free.
(Thanks Cherryhead25 for the tip!)

iPhone Unleashed Now Available in App Store!
I was a little bummed it took the original off, but I saved the app files just so I would have it still.
Otherwise, the only thing that bothers me is that they didn't change the top bar (where it shows your reception, time etc) to black when you launch the app. It stays white and stands out like a sore thumb!!!
well I'm just adding more info. But the little voices with the stars thingy, it's the same two voices for every character. It's just darth vader talking about how the player is weak, etc.
When your on the character select page, each character has an "I" on their box, tapping that will give you a picture of the characte, and even that gives you a bio of that character.
Is it me, or when you full screen the lightsaber, the beam is thinner than before? Also when it's in full screen and when you wave your phone really hard, the screen flashes. Also the lightsaber has a different default sound than before.
I think the character select was pointless, it's just showing off the force unleashed. You only get 3 colors of lightsabers. Red, blue and green. Three characters have the red lightsaber, but just a different I think it's called the hilt of the sword.
I like the music btw.
Like mentioned above I wish they added more characters and different colors.
But all in all if you missed getting the original phonesaber. You should def. Get this!!!!
very useful. thanks...
You are so right about this!

- Litigation and new technologies in post-conventional societies (2012)
- The increase in the volume of litigation verified since the 1990's, having the Brazilian society as context, made the judiciary open itself to new technologies which facilitate the access to justice, as well as to a faster resolution of the demands. However, the intense insertion of technical rationalization in the process and decision operations by the judiciary, during the last years, led to a legalization supported by presuppositions of technical-instrumental regulation. According to the goal policy established by the CNJ, the annoyance of the instrumental rationality is present "with respect to purposes", which demands, more and more, a mere fulfillment of previously instituted goals from the law operators. The matter is to know if the implementation of new technologies to solve the growing litigation coming from the complexity of societies is enough to adjust the Law to a post-conventional platform. If the social complexity implies resources coming from new technologies, it's not certain that such technologies, on their own, satisfactorily answer a judicial model which, seen under the eyes of the post- conventional legitimacy and regulation, is adequate to complex societies. This illustrates that a judicial model, able to deal with the social plurality, must take into account not only the rules of instrumental rationality, but also the fundamental issues of communicative rationality. This current work intends to evaluate if the applicability of the instrumental rationality in the judiciary equally allows the law to extent the useful conditions of the communicative rationality to the consensual formation of will and opinion in the Democratic State of Law.

|Home > Tutorials > Getting Started > How To Create A Struts 2 Web Application > Create Struts 2 Web Application With Artifacts In WEB-INF lib and Use Ant To Build The Application > Hello World Using Struts 2
When you click on a hyperlink or submit an HTML form in a Struts 2 web application, the input is not sent to another server page, but to a Java class that you provide. These classes are called Actions. After the Action fires, a Result selects a resource to render the response. The resource is generally a server page, but it can also be a PDF file, an Excel spreadsheet, or a Java applet window.
Suppose you want to create a simple "Hello World" example that displays a welcome message. After setting up an empty basic Struts 2 web application (see How To Create A Struts 2 Web Application), to create a "Hello World" example, you need to do four things:
Create a mapping (struts.xml) to couple the Action class and view
Let's look at an example model class, Action, server page, and mapping. If you like, fire up your Java IDE, and enter the code as we go.
Let's modify either the basic_struts project to add a model class to store our message, a view that displays our message, an Action class to act as the controller, and a configuration that ties everything together.
If you're using the Basic_Struts2_Ant project to start with create the MessageStore class in the src folder and if you're using the Basic_Struts2_Mvn class create the MessageStore class in src/main/java. Be sure to note the package statement below.
In the model class above note the use of public set and get methods to allow access to the private message String attribute. The Struts 2 framework requires that objects you want to expose to the view (HelloWorld.jsp) follow the JavaBean-style conventions.
We need an Action class to act as the Controller. The Action class responds to a user action (in this example that action will be clicking an HTML hyperlink and sending a specific URL to the Servlet container). One or more of the Action class's methods are executed and a String result is returned. Based on the value of the result, a specific view page (in this example that view page is HelloWorld.jsp) is rendered.
Note the package and import statements below.
The Struts 2 framework will create an object of the
HelloWorldAction class and call the execute method in response to a user's action (clicking on a hyperlink that sends a specific URL to the Servlet container).
In this example, the execute method creates an object of class
MessageStore and then returns the String constant
Note also the public getter and setter methods for the private
MessageStore object. Since we want to make the
MessageStore object available to the view page,
HelloWorld.jsp we need to follow the JavaBean-style of providing get and set methods.
We need a server page to present the message that is stored in the model class
MessageStore. Create the below JSP in the
WebContent folder (if using Ant) or in
src/main/webapp (if using Maven).
The taglib directive tells the Servlet container that this page will be using the Struts 2 tags and that these tags will be preceded by an
<s:property> tag displays the value returned by calling the method
getMessageStore of the
HelloWorldAction controller class. That method returns a
MessageStore object. By adding the
.message onto the messageStore part of the value attribute we are telling the Struts 2 framework to call the
getMessage method of that
MessageStore object. The
getMessage method of class
MessageStore returns a String. It is that String that will be displayed by the
<s:property> tag.
We'll learn more about tags in the next tutorial. See the Struts Tags for more information about tags.
We need a mapping to tie the URL, the
HelloWorldAction class (controller), and
HelloWorld.jsp (the view) together. The mapping tells the Struts 2 framework which class will respond to the user's action (the URL), which method of that class will be executed, and what view to render based on the String result that method returns.
Edit the
struts.xml file (in the Mvn project that file is in the src/main/resources folder) to add the action mapping. Place the action node (action name="hello") between the opening and closing package node, just after the action mapping with the name="index". Your complete struts.xml should look like:
In index.jsp (see WebContent folder for Ant project and src/main/webapp for Mvn project) let's add an Action URL the user can click on to tell the Struts 2 framework to run the execute method of the HelloWorldAction class and render the HelloWorld.jsp view.
First add the taglib directive at the top of the jsp
<%@ taglib prefix="s" uri="/struts-tags" %>. Next add this p tag

<a href="<s:url action='hello'/>">Hello World
 after the h1 tag. Your new index.jsp should look like:
The Struts url tag creates the URL with an action of hello. The hello action was mapped to the HelloWorldAction class and its execute method. When the user clicks on the above URL it will cause the Struts 2 framework to run the execute method of the HelloWorldAction class. After that method returns the String success, the view page HelloWorld.jsp will be rendered.
Execute mvn clean package to create the war file.
Copy the war file to your Servlet container. After your Servlet container successfully deploys the war file go to this URL http://localhost:8080/helloworld/index.action where you should see the following:
Click on the Hello World link and you should get the HelloWorld.jsp page:
The Struts 2 user mailing list is an excellent place to get help. If you are having a problem getting this application to work search the Struts 2 mailing list. If you don't find an answer to your problem, post a question on the mailing list.
Your browser sends to the web server a request for the URL http://localhost:8080/Hello_World_Struts2_Ant/hello.action.
hello.action. According to the settings loaded from the web.xml, the container finds that all requests are being routed to
org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.ng.filter.StrutsPrepareAndExecuteFilter, including the
*.action requests. The StrutsPrepareAndExecuteFilter is the entry point into the framework.
execute method.
execute method creates the MessageStore object and returns
SUCCESS. The framework checks the action mapping to see what page to load if
SUCCESS is returned. The framework tells the container to render as the response to the request, the resource
HelloWorld.jsp is being processed, the
<s:property value="messageStore.message" /> tag calls the getter
getMessageStore of the
HelloWorld Action and then calls the
getMessage of the MessageStore object returned by
getMessageStore, and the tag merges into the response the value of the message attribute.
The framework uses Actions to process HTML forms and other requests. The
Action class returns a result-name such as
ERROR, or
INPUT. Based on the mappings loaded from the
struts.xml, a given result-name may select a page (as in this example), another action, or some other web resource (image, PDF).
When a server page is rendered, most often it will include dynamic data provided by the Action. To make it easy to display dynamic data, the framework provides a set of tags that can be used along with HTML markup to create a server page.

Volleyball Downed by Baylor
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – The West Virginia University volleyball team fell to Baylor, 3-0, on Wednesday night at the WVU Coliseum.
"Baylor played really well. They hit a really high clip. One of the things that it says is that we just didn't block and defend as well as we normally have," says coach Jill Kramer. "I don't think that they did a whole lot of things different than anyone else we have played to this point. We just need to execute better and have more discipline."
The Bears (9-11, 1-3) posted a .299 team hitting percentage, while forcing the Mountaineers (15-3, 2-2) into 16 hitting errors.
West Virginia sophomore setter Brittany Sample posted her fifth double-double of the season, behind 30 assists and 12 digs to go along with five kills in just three sets played.
The five kills tied Sample's career high.
Freshman outside hitter Jordan Anderson provided 17 kills, one shy of her career high, and sophomore outside hitter Hannah Sackket chipped in 11 kills on 26 attempts for a .308 hitting percentage.
After trailing 2-6 in the first set, the Mountaineers fought back. Anderson and Sackett led all players with six kills each. But the Bears would get the necessary points late in the game to win the set 25-23.
Baylor continued its hot hitting in the second set. The Bears hit .324 as a team, and won the set 25-20.
West Virginia led 18-12 in the third set, but the Bears fought back. Baylor ended the set on the 13-4 run, led by 13 assists from setter Amy Rosenbaum, to win the third set, 25-22.
"We have to get back in the gym. It was just one match, but we have stay disciplined and make sure it's just one match," Kramer says.
The Mountaineers travel to Ames, Iowa, to face Iowa State on Saturday, Oct. 12, at 3 p.m.

WASHINGTON — The revelation Wednesday that hospitals within the same city sometimes charge tens of thousands of dollars more for the same treatment sheds new light on the mystery of just how high a hospital bill might go, and whether it's cheaper for uninsured patients to get the care somewhere else.
But it doesn't answer the big question: Why do some hospitals charge 20 or even 40 times more than others?
"It doesn't make sense," said Jonathan Blum, director of the government's Center for Medicare & Medicaid. The higher costs don't reflect better care, he said, and can't be explained by regional economic differences alone.
Blum said he hopes making the information available without charge to the public will help generate answers to the riddles of hospital pricing, and put pressure on the more expensive hospitals.
The fees that Medicare pays hospitals aren't based on their charges, Blum said, but patients who are without government or private medical coverage are subject to them. The new information should help those patients decide where to get care, he said.
There are vast disparities nationally. The average charges for joint replacement range from about $5,300 at an Ada, Okla., hospital to $223,000 in Monterey Park, Calif.
It's not just national or even regional geography. Hospitals within the same city also vary wildly.
In Jackson, Miss., average inpatient charges for services that may be provided to treat heart failure range from $9,000 to $51,000, the Department of Health and Human Services said.
Hospitals usually receive less money than they charge, however. Their charges are akin to a car dealership's "list price." Most patients won't be hit with these bills, because they are paid by their private insurance, Medicare or Medicaid at lower rates.
Insurance companies routinely negotiate discounted payments with hospitals.
"These charges really don't have a direct relationship with the price for the average person," said Chapin White of the nonprofit Center for Studying Health System Change. "I think the point is to shame hospitals."
The charges do show up on the bills of people without medical coverage, many of whom try to negotiate smaller fees for themselves. And they could affect people paying for care that is outside their insurance company's network. Hospitals say they frequently give the uninsured discounts.
"This is the opening bid in the hospital's attempt to get as much money as possible out of you," White said of the listed charges.
And some people pay full price, or try to afford it, because they don't know they can bargain for a discount, White said.

MERRY CHRISTMAS ya,ll

"If theyre going to come here illegally, apply for & receive assistance through a corrupted Government agency encouraging this lawless behavior, work under the table & send billions of dollars each year back to their families in Mexico, while bleeding local economies dry, protest in our streets waving their Mexican flags DEMANDING rights, while I have to press 1′ for English, then they need to be shipped back to where they came from!" -Chad Miller
I guarantee you that you will NEVER see me out shopping on Black Friday or the day after Christmas for return frenzy!
My wife and I have a keen ear for listening to people talk about things they may want and we may actually buy a Christmas present months in advance if we have the chance. Less stress, less mess, and leass angry people trying for that last minute bargain.

Have You Ever Tried Guayusa?
Guayusa (pronounced gwhy-you-suh) is only starting to make inroads into the U.S., but it's hardly new. The flavor is similar to yerba mate, but with a more plush, fruity flavor and a complete lack of bitterness. Tasting invites comparison to green tea, but the flavor is less tannic and the texture is more creamy. Unlike green tea, drinking it on an empty stomach won't give you a stomach ache. And just as important, it's nearly impossible to overbrew, and leaves can be resteeped half a dozen times before their flavor starts to wane. Have you ever tried it? More

Ideas in letter 'hogwash'
This is in response to letter titled "Ideas to curb violence." I think Mr. Schoener's ideas in his letter to the editor on Jan. 17 are a bunch of hogwash. It's a crazy idea to ban the sale of alcohol and tobacco and provide age restrictions on the sale of fast food and violent movies with the idea that these measures will save lives. The government shouldn't prohibit the sale of anything. In fact the government should allow the unrestricted sale of rocket propelled grenade launchers to the American public. Even if public ownership of rocket propelled grenade launchers results in one death, isn't the freedom to buy whatever we want worth it?

DPW takes inventory of city's sidewalksBy Gordon Dritschilo
Staff Writer | October 22,2013Anthony Edwards / Staff Photo
The broken down sidewalk running along Allen Street between Mahoney Court and Mussey Street is shown on Monday.A report by the Department of Public Works says the city would need a five-fold budget increase just to keep up with Rutland's deteriorating sidewalks.
The Sidewalk Inventory Report, published Monday on the city's website, put total replacement costs for inadequate sidewalks at roughly $5 million. It also said that just maintaining city sidewalks would call for an increase from the current budget of $50,000 to expenditures of $250,000 a year.
The city has roughly 43 miles of sidewalks, maintained almost entirely in-house by DPW crews. The city allocates $70,000 a year for "concrete/pre-cast" curbing, according to the report, of which $50,000 is used for sidewalks.
Sidewalks were visually inspected. The survey found three miles of sidewalks that were classified as failed, in complete deterioration and impassable. Another 14 miles were classified as "poor," possibly passable but still heavily deteriorated and noncompliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
"At current funding levels of $50,000/yr., it would take approximately 99.7 years (not accounting for inflation) to replace all sidewalks and crossings currently in need of replacement," the report read. "This is beyond the assumed life cycle of concrete sidewalks of 50 years and shows that we can expect the sidewalks to continue to deteriorate faster than they can be replaced at current funding levels."
Indeed, the report used the 50-year lifespan to calculate a need for $250,000 a year in work just to maintain the current inventory.
The report used a number of factors, including condition and location, to create a "Top 10" list of segments that needed replacing. The top two, along with four others, were on Allen Street. Segments of Temple, Pierpoint, Forest and Crescent were also featured.
While $5 million might be within the range the city could bond for, DPW Commissioner Jeffrey Wennberg said he could not see putting a sidewalk project of that scope on the March ballot alongside the planned stormwater separation project for the northwest neighborhood. However, he did say the city could see savings from tackling the sidewalks all at once.
"Usually, the larger a project you bid out, if you can keep a decent-size contractor's crews busy for one season in a relatively small area you can get some economies of scale from that," he said. "Those savings are real."
Wennberg said grant funding could play a role in how much gets done and when.
"Once we have a plan and can defend it with results like what's in the report, it makes it easier to access state and federal sources of money," he said.
Mayor Christopher Louras said the sidewalk budget remains unchanged in the budget he will present to the Board of Aldermen next week. He said he liked the idea of doing separate outlays for increased sidewalk spending, similar to the additional money for street paving that was integrated into the budget last year after repeatedly winning separate approval from city voters.
"The sidewalk report is the first stage of a public education process similar to what we did with the water pipes and similar to what we did with the roads," he said. "We're just at the crawl stage of crawl-walk-run."
Board of Aldermen President David Allaire said he hears a lot about the state of Rutland's sidewalks and he would like to see a discussion on them.
"I've always heard areas around schools and downtown and the medical center are priorities," he said. "Speaking from personal experience, around the Intermediate and Middle School are areas that have been overlooked for a long time."

By: JOSH LEDERMAN, Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama plans to visit Israel in the spring, marking his first visit to the nation since becoming president.
The White House says Obama spoke about the visit with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Jan. 28. That's when Obama congratulated Netanyahu on his success in Israel's recent election.
Obama visited Israel while running for president in 2008, but hasn't been back since, prompting criticism from some pro-Israel groups.
The White House says the start of Obama's second term offers an opportunity to reaffirm Israel's close relationship with the U.S. and to discuss major issues like Syria and Iran.
The White House has not released the date of Obama's trip.
