With the addition of its 59th build in Wilson County earlier this year, Wilson Habitat for Humanity has big plans for 2014, which is set to mark the 20th anniversary of the county's first Habitat build.
Habitat for Humanity International is a nonprofit, Christian housing ministry that builds and repairs houses all over the world using volunteer labor and donations. Families and individuals who receive homes through the organization must apply and qualify financially.
On Nov. 17, Wilson Habitat closed out its 2013 build season and completed it's 59th home, with Jessica Williams and son Brendon, 9, accepting the keys to their new digs at Alydar Drive between Watertown and Lebanon.
Additionally, Wilson Habitat also built two other homes in the area this spring that were dedicated in June.
To celebrate its 20 years of service in the coming year, the area Habitat charter launched its 20/20 Vision Campaign, which began Nov. 21, and continued through Dec. 31.
The campaigns goal was to establish Habitat's foundation for the next 20 years by raising $20,000 by the Dec. 31 date.
Wilson Habitat Director Tory Tredway said the end of the year fundraising effort part of the campaign did not reach the $20,000 goal, but there was still a possibility and potential for donations and gifts.
Tredway said though this portion of the campaign has ended, the organization would still continue to do other things as a part of the entire campaign for their 20th year.
"We've got a few things in the works, but no specifics; we've just been working on getting the ball rolling on several items and events," Tredway said.
One example, Tredway said, is a 20th anniversary celebration in April alongside the annual Houses of Hope fundraiser. Previously, this event has raised more than $20,000.
Tredway also said the organization again has three houses scheduled to be built this year. The first two are scheduled to begin building May 31 and another will be built in the fall.

American Catholic Hall of Fame: Greatest Intellectuals
Benedictine College's Gregorian Institute hosts the online Catholic Hall of Fame.
The Catholic Hall of Fame votes are in; here are the 10 greatest Catholic intellectuals in American history, according to today's Catholic thought leaders.
To celebrate Catholic identity in public life, the Catholic Hall of Fame will present you with Catholic innovators who were the highest achievers in their fields, according to the top Catholic thinkers of our time. The Gregorian Institute at Benedictine College in Atchison, Kansas, hosts the online Hall of Fame.
In early October, we surveyed top Catholic commentators, editors and scholars to ask: "Who were America's greatest Catholic intellectuals?" The 10 included here represent those who received the most nominations.
Since future categories in the Hall of Fame will recognize novelists and bishops of dioceses, nominees such as Flannery O'Connor and Archbishops James Gibbons and Charles Chaput are not included here. The work of those represented here mainly concerns the world of ideas and academic scholarship.
The Catholic Hall of Fame's Greatest American Catholic intellectuals, in the order of their birth:
Orestes Brownson (1803–1876), New England public-spirited intellectual. He wrote: "Catholics are better fitted by their religion to comprehend the real character of the American constitution than any other class of Americans."
John Courtney Murray (1904-1967), New York Jesuit theologian. He wrote: "America has raised the standard of living to historically unknown heights. …We have multiplied our needs endlessly and thereby multiplied our sorrows."
John Senior (1923-1999). Columbia University student of Mark Van Doren whose University of Kansas great books program "made converts without proselytizing." Kansas' state motto "To the stars, through difficulty" inspired him.
Avery Dulles (1918-2008), convert Jesuit theologian and cardinal, son of John Foster Dulles. Warning against "excessive and indiscreet accommodation," he said, "Catholicism will be well-advised to cultivate a measured, prudent counterculturalism."
James Schall (1928-) Prolific Jesuit political philosopher. Schall wrote: "No one will seek the highest [things] if he believes that there is no truth, that nothing is his fault, and that government will guarantee his wants."
Ralph McInerny (1929-2010) a philosophy professor, novelist, poet and translator of Aquinas. Said McInerny: "It is the writing, producing a well-made story, that counts. All the rest is gravy."
Richard John Neuhaus (1936-2009) Canadian-Texan public-spirited intellectual. "Once religion is reduced to nothing more than privatized conscience, the public square has only two actors in it — the state and the individual," Neuhaus wrote
Mary Ann Glendon (1938-) Harvard law professor, former Vatican ambassador. She wrote: "All who are ... committed to the advancement of women can and must offer a woman or a girl who is pregnant, frightened, and alone a better alternative than the destruction of her own unborn child."
George Weigel (1951-) papal biographer, public-spirited intellectual. He wrote: "Ideas are not intellectuals' toys: ideas have consequences, for good and for ill, in what even intellectuals sometimes call 'the real world.'"
Robert P. George (1955-) Princeton jurisprudence professor. He wrote: "The impulse to redefine marriage in order to recognize same-sex and multiple partner relationships is a symptom, rather than the cause, of the erosion of the marriage culture."
The Gregorian Institute at Benedictine College, Kansas, is promoting Catholic identity in public life at a time when Pope Benedict XVI is raising the alarm that the Church needs to raise its voice in the public square. We are named for Pope St. Gregory the Great, the leading intellectual in Benedictine history, who laid the groundwork of Western Civilization as we know it by combining practical leadership and intellectual depth.
Founded in 1858, Benedictine College is a Catholic, liberal arts college located on the bluffs above the Missouri River in Atchison, Kansas. The school is proud to have been named one of America's Best Colleges by the Cardinal Newman Society, U.S. News & World Report and First Things magazine. Benedictine College prides itself on outstanding academics, extraordinary faith life, strong athletic programs, and an exceptional sense of community and belonging.

How Video Games Are Saving Classic Rock
Complete MSN Tech & Gadgets article here.
As the latest "American Idol" winners clog airwaves and classic rock FM stations fade in favor of pre-programmed stations that play "anything we want" -- usually overproduced glop -- superstars of old are getting less and less radio play.
Surprisingly, the savior of classic rock may turn out to be the video game industry. With titles like Electronic Arts' "Rock Band" and Activision's "Guitar Hero," players -- particularly younger ones -- are getting a taste of what their parents used to rock out to.
"It's a great way for us to reach a lot of people who haven't experienced us," says Aerosmith lead guitarist Joe Perry. "New fans get to experience this great music they normally would not. This is a way for kids to listen to it unadorned, and that's a great way for them to experience it."
"Classic rock radio, what there is of it, is catering to an older and older demographic who [is] solely nostalgic for [its] musical past," says Steve Schnur, worldwide executive of music and marketing for EA. "[With music games], not only does the classic rock audience get to participate, but so does a whole new generation. Led Zeppelin or Black Sabbath or some group that's not relevant to their lives suddenly becomes so."
In January, Activision announced that the "Guitar Hero" franchise had generated more than $1 billion in sales in just 26 months. As of May, the franchise has sold 16.3 million copies, according to the NPD Group. Between November 2007 and January 2008, consumers downloaded over 5 million songs, with prices ranging from free to $6.25 for a three-song pack, according to Activision.
"Rock Band" fans have bought some 2.4 million copies of the game at $170 per copy, NPD says. And as of June 30, players have paid to download 15 million songs, most for $2 each.

Re: How Video Games Are Saving Classic Rock
EA has collected statistics showing that sales of music included in their games - i.e. music used as EA Trax - increases after those games are released. I'd imagine the record labels for the bands featured in the radio stations in Grand Theft Auto would agree (even though nobody in Britain will sell me "Inside the Cage (David Gilmour Girls remix)" by Juliette and the Licks).
Personally, I find it a very good way to discover new music.

Staples is said to offer only Apple's latest models?--?the iPad Air and Retina display-equipped iPad mini --?in its stores, rather than the entire iPad lineup, though the older versions remain available for purchase online. The change was first reported by CNET.
Bringing the iPad in-store marks another milestone in Framingham, Mass.-based Staples's current alliance with Apple, which began last spring when the company started carrying smaller Apple products like the Apple TV and AirPort wireless networking lineup.
The relationship expanded in December with online iPad sales, and it was speculated at the time that Staples would be allowed to carry the tablets in stores if certain performance targets were met. Wednesday's launch suggests that those targets, which are thought to have included weekly online sales referral quotas for each brick-and-mortar store, were reached.
One item that remains unclear is exactly how the iPad will be marketed in Staples outlets. The tablets are featured on dedicated Apple-designed kiosks in most third-party iPad retailers, and in some cases small "store-within-a-store" arrangements are struck when broader ranges of Apple products are on offer.

Ex-Hearts goalie Adjei wants to silence critics
Ex-Hearts goalkeeper Sammy Adjei is keen on a return to top-flight football to prove his critics wrong.
The 32-year-old is currently without a club after leaving Hearts last year.
The former Black Stars shot-stopper has claimed he's on the verge of crossing carpet to join Asante Kotoko.
The former Ashdod glovesman says he is eager to return to the top of Ghana football to silence his doubters.
"I am determined to get back to business and a deal with Kotoko is almost through as we speak which I am very confident will work out," he said.
"I am a good goalkeeper and I know what I can do in the posts. I'm sure everyone saw my performances with Accra Hearts of Oak over the years and that is evidence of what Sammy Adjei can do.
"My aim is to prove a point to all Ghanaians that I am still the best."
Adjei has accused the Ghana FA of hatred against him after been overlooked for national team call-up since 2008.

"Uncertain," "inconclusive," "probably"—one would be alarmed to read such nervous gossip in a hack showbiz biog.

The speech was elegant but evasive, inclusive in tone but inconclusive in terms of actual policy.
Indeed, the available evidence is inconclusive on what will happen to employment with an increase at these levels.
We need not, however, spend much time on the well-worn but inconclusive arguments of the older critics.
But all this was inconclusive, for the reason that Mrs. Smiley was not fastened as she is now.
Gideon Whipple mercifully broke in while Harvey D. floundered upon an inconclusive period.

Parking Apps Are on the Move
According to a Gartner survey, parking apps are in high demand among motorists, ranking only behind mapping and traffic updates. IBM's Commuter Pain Index study cites estimates that over 30 percent of city traffic is caused by drivers looking for parking. Clearly there is a need for better solutions to finding parking.
The number of apps serving as intermediaries, connecting cities and parking facilities with drivers in real-time continues to increase. Using smartphone technology as a payment gateway, they are beginning to enable payments for other transactions as well (e.g. car washes, convenience stores).
Companies in this space include Pango, ParkMe (partnered with Audi), Parkopedia (BMW's parking info provider), and Google's Waze.
Benefits include timely and efficient guidance to parking spaces, which reduces congestion, fuel consumption and emissions, and crash-risk exposure. These apps can also permit extending parking time remotely, saving the user from having to physically go to the meter.

CBI today arrested Chairman-cum- Managing Director of Sydicate Bank, S K Jain and five others for allegedly taking bribe of Rs 50 lakh for enhancement of credit limit to some companies bypassing rules and regulations.
Acting on an internally developed intelligence, CBI had been monitoring the CMD for the last six months before arresting him today in Bangalore.
CBI has filed two cases against him for allegedly receiving bribe of Rs 50 lakh and "fraudulently bypassing" rules and regulations to enhance credit limit of two companies which have been involved in a coal scam.
"We are determined to fight corruption at high level and today's case was one such example," CBI Director Ranjit Sinha told PTI.
Others arrested included CMD's brother-in-law and a Chartered Accountant.
CBI is conducting searches at 20 places in four cities in connection with the case.
Interesting study to find out how the law 'took its own course' in this one - no political backing?
Or will the CMD be spared of jail thanks to the case dragging on for 3 decades?


text: The Kagamine Len wiki last edited by Hailinel on 09/06/13 11:55PM View full history Origin and Game Appearances Rin and Len, sold in the same box.Like his predecessor Hatsune Miku, Len (and his twin sister Kagamine Rin) was not originally a game character, but a voice bank created for Crypton Future Media's Vocaloid 2 singing synthesizer. His voice is designed to simulate a "low-teen" male, with Rin's simulating a female equivalent. Both Len and Rin's vocal template are based on that of Japanese voice actress Asami Shimoda.Len and Rin first appeared as unlockable custom character skins in Sega's PSP rhythm game Hatsune Miku: Project Diva. To unlock them, players had to play the respective versions of the song "Kouya to Mori to Mahou no Uta" (Song of Wastelands, Forests, and Magic - "荒野と森と魔法の歌") on Normal difficulty and obtain Standard-rank scores, as well as hitting a maximum combo of 100 unbroken notes.The duo later appeared as fully playable characters in the sequel, Hatsune Miku: Project Diva 2nd, with their own selection of solo songs and duets.Trivia Len's (and Rin's) surname "Kagamine" are taken from the characters for "Mirror" ("Kagami") and "Voice" ("Ne"), to reflect that the twins and their voices are mirror images of one another.Amami Shimoda, the voice actress who provided the template for both Rin and Len, also voiced twin characters in The Idolm@ster series, namely the sisters Ami and Mami Futami.The yellow-and-black color scheme of the twins' clothing has been likened by fans to the colors of a road-roller, eventually leading to the composition of the original duet song "That's My Road-Roller!"Len's signature item aside from a road-roller is a banana.

There were over 1,200 students graduating from Western Kentucky University's December commencement, in Bowling Green, Ky. That was a record number for the fall graduation.
Of those students, two of them shared a special relationship throughout their college experience. Albert Skees started his college career in 1999. Now at the age of 71, he has shared his college career with six of his grandchildren and one of which he graduated with.
Skees found college challenging just like other traditional college students. He always knew he wanted to get a college degree and was overjoyed to do so with his grandchildren, an experience he said is once in a lifetime.
Mr. Skees has plans to frame his degree and hang it in his computer room but as for going back to work. He said he enjoys being retired and will continue to volunteer like he has for years.

In George Bernard Shaw's book Revolutionists Handbook it is stated, "The more things change, the more they stay the same." It is not that Jonathan Gouthier is starting a revolution, but the way this designer views the challenges in brand design has and so has his company. Gouthier marches in as WITH creative, LLC merged from his original studio Gouthier Design now with an interactive and strategy arm. WITH is built on the concept that creativity can help businesses grow and change the landscape of corporate communications.
Gouthier continues to collaborate with clients in his specialty of brand image development. Jonathan's work has been featured in numerous international publications and exhibitions, most recently included in the Best of Self-Promotion Design and the Asia-Pacific Almanac 5 being released in 2009. He has been a noted educator and speaker with recent seminars offered at HOW Design Conference 2009, TypeCon 2009 and Industry Heros Week at Miami Ad School.
Jonathan's intrigue with cultural influences, visuals, typography and their affect on a person's decision making are the tools that he assembles together and collaborates with his clients to create their true story. The imagery and its visual voice can enhance or detract from society and its perceptions of organizations. These journeys that are created by Gouthier WITH his clients produce results and justifiably can be termed beautiful.

DICKINSON TOWNSHIP >> David E. Stryker, 51, Hagerstown, Md., was taken into custody after he lead police on a high speed chase on Interstate 81 on April 26, according to Pennsylvania State Police, Carlisle.
According to police, they received several complaints of an erratic driver coming from the Shippensburg area around 2 p.m. and the vehicle was observed traveling at a high rate of speed at mile marker 40.
Efforts to have the driver voluntarily pull over were ignored.
Stryker reportedly traveled in speeds as high as 120 miles per hour until he exited at mile marker 52A in Middlesex Township when police disabled his vehicle.
He was taken into custody and lodged at Cumberland County Prison pending a preliminary arrangement. Charges are pending.

Report: Sprint ponders partnership with Dish Network
updated 05:46 pm EST, Fri December 7, 2012
Deal would let Dish offer service over Sprint's network
Sprint, the United States' third-largest wireless carrier, has approached Dish Network about a partnership that would see Dish offering mobile service over Sprint's network. Sources familiar with Sprint's offer say that the deal would give Sprint access to Dish's mobile airwaves, with the two companies sharing revenue from customers signing up for wireless service from Dish. The satellite TV provider has been moving toward wireless service provision for some time, though regulatory obstacles have hindered its progress.
A deal with Sprint would allow Dish Network to enter the mobile phone market without having to build its own network infrastructure. Neither company spoke on the matter with Bloomberg, which reported on the talks, but Sprint representatives say the company is "open to spectrum-hosting opportunities with other spectrum holders who can't or don't want" to build their own network.
For Sprint, the deal would represent a means to draw revenue from the 14 million current Dish Network customers that the TV provider would attempt to lure into mobile service. Sprint is currently stuck in third place, behind Verizon and AT&T, among US cellular providers. Any deal between the two would have to be approved by Japanese carrier Softbank, which took a controlling stake in Sprint earlier this year.
Even if the Sprint deal does not move forward, Dish Network is already laying the groundwork for a bigger move into mobile service provision. This week, reports emerged that Dish was planning to use the 850 Blockbuster retail locations to sell mobile phones from Verizon Wireless, Sprint, and T-Mobile. Dish has also been rumored to have been in talks with Google over a possible partnership in wireless service.

The Washington Post on Thursday referred to Arizona's immigration law as an "increasingly divisive issue." Recent Rasmussen polling shows that 68 percent of Americans support building the border fence, that 61 percent want a law like Arizona's in their own state and that 68 percent oppose the creation of "sanctuary cities" that harbor illegal immigrants. Sounds more like an "increasingly unifying issue."

|Proteins associated with the early intrauterine equine conceptus.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 18638129 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|A critical period of early gestation in the mare involves the immobilization (fixation) of the encapsulated conceptus at around days 16-17. We compared the major proteins in the normal equine embryonic capsule and endometrial secretions around the period of fixation with those from pregnancies in the process of termination induced by administration of an analogue of prostaglandin F(2 alpha) (PGF(2 alpha)). Uterocalin and beta(2)-microglobulin (beta(2)M) associated with the embryonic capsule were proteolytically converted to smaller forms during the fixation period. These conversions were similar in conceptuses from control and treated mares. A 17 kDa cationic protein identified as a secretory phospholipase A2 (sPLA2) type IIA was detected bound to normal capsules but increased substantially in response to PGF(2 alpha). Two forms of uteroglobin were distinguished by partial amino acid sequences of approximately 6 kDa bands in flush fluids from normal pregnant uteri. After administration of PGF(2 alpha) one immunoreactive form of uteroglobin was preferentially increased. These studies demonstrate that failure of pregnancy in this model is associated with an increase in secretory phospholipase in the capsule and a change in the forms of uteroglobin in the uterine secretions.

Bye Bye BrightStor
3:15 PM -- The company formerly known as Computer Associates is going minimalist. In what it terms a "mission to unify and simplify IT management," CA Inc. (NYSE: CA) is renaming all of its products. According to a prepared statement on the company's Website: "Our goal is to make it easier to focus on meeting [customers'] IT management software needs."
CA is truncating the "sub-brands" that ran through CA's product catalog. What used to be called CA BrightStor CA-ASM2 Backup and Restore, for instance, is now CA ASM2 Backup and Restore. The BrightStor Arcserve series is also being renamed, though the new monikers are "TBD" on CA's continually updated product names list.
CA could stand a bit of the simpler life. The ongoing fallout from malfeasance charges that resulted in the penal march of multiple former executives, including ex-CEO Sanjay Kumar, continues to embarrass. At the end of January, for instance, former SVP of finance and administration David Kaplan was sentenced to home detention, while former CFI Ira Zar got seven months' jail time and seven months' home detention.
No wonder CA wants to break with the past.
CA is also seeking distance from poor marketing of its wares by indirect suppliers. In recent earnings, the company showed poor storage sales, which CEO John Swainson chalked up to trouble with indirect sales partners. (See CA Reports Earnings.)

|Transfering Wealth to Your Heirs and Support the Rochester Hills Public Library
A Charitable Lead Trust allows you to make a future transfer of wealth to your heirs, while substantially reducing estate and gift taxes, and provide an income stream to the Rochester Hills Public Library for a specific number of years.
How the Rochester Hills Public Library benefits
During a specified number of years, a fixed or variable income is paid to the Library, depending on the type of trust created. You may designate how your gift is used at the Library.
How your heirs benefit
At the end of the trust term, the assets are passed to your heirs, or to a trust for their benefit.
How you save taxes
You receive a charitable tax deduction for the current value of the annual income payments to Library during the term of the trust. Any appreciation of the trust assets over the term of the trust is not subject to gift or estate tax.
How you can establish a Charitable Lead Trust
You can establish a Charitable Lead Trust with publicly traded securities, mutual funds, closely held stock, income producing real estate, partnership interests, or a combination of the above. Typically, a lead trust is most effective for high-net-worth individuals who wish to fund the trust with assets valued at $500,000 or more.

Congratulations to Soleil Moon Frye, who renewed her wedding vows with husband producer Jason Goldberg on October 25th! The former Punk Brewster actress celebrated with daughters Poet, 3, and Jagger, 7 months — as well as celebrity friends such as Demi Moore, Ashton Kutcher and Eric Dane.
Frye and Goldberg have been married for 10 years.
In honor of the occasion, the couple planted a a pomegranate tree in the garden — and also sent guests home with their very own trees to plant. "Besides the days my children were born – and my first wedding – it was the best night of my life," Frye, who co-owns L.A.'s eco-friendly children's boutique, The Little Seed, tells PEOPLE.
Last week, In Touch magazine featured some shots of Soleil's beautiful eco-friendly nursery. On the official Little Seed Blog, you can see additional photos, as well as find out where to pick up some of the cool green accessories shown.

VINE CUTTINGS December 2001
News and Notes from the World of Wine
All The Wine In China?
Wine Distributors Look East
for Emerging Market
Wine enthusiasts are accustomed to reading about wine fairs in France, Italy, California and England…but China? Yes, this December 5-9, the first China (Zhuhai) International Wine and Spirit Trade Fair will take place in the seaside city of Zhuhai, in Guangdong Province.
Guangdong, China's most developed and liberal (in the market sense) province, leads the nation in economic growth and exports, as well as gross domestic product. Situated on the mainland near Hong Kong and Macao, Zhuhai was one of the Communist nation's earliest experimental "special economic zones."
The wine and spirits trade show is scheduled to feature producers from China and 30 other nations. Global beverage firms and individual wineries want to become players in this potentially huge beverage industry—China is, after all, the world's most populous country and has only recently begun to open its doors to the rest of the world. On the heels of China's recent approval for membership in the World Trade Organization and Beijing's recent victory in its 2008 Olympic Games bid, the fair's promoters see the Wine and Spirit Trade Fair as another sign that the country is coming of age.
Though still a restrictive and tightly controlled society by our standards, China has come a long way from the virulent anti-Western—and especially anti-American—sentiment that wracked the country during the Cultural Revolution just a few decades ago. And now who knows? The next big little red book might just be a little red wine book.

JSR-168 is a collection of Java APIs for portlet developers. There are a number of reasons to design JSR-168 portlets that adhere to the specification. Portability is an obvious benefit. Code written according to the specification will be easier to move to among portal servers. The majority of Java-based portal servers support JSR-168 portlets.
Another benefit is easier federation. Exposing JSR-168 Portlets via Web Services for Remote Portlets (WSRP) producers is easier when portlets adhere to the JSR-168 specification. WSRP provides a standard to federate portlet content via Web services. JSR-168 and WSRP 1.0 portlet capabilities are tightly coupled. JSR-168 to WSRP portlet bridges utilize JSR-168's URL rewriting APIs. This article illustrates best practices for developing JSR-168 portlets for portability.
Java developers often write the URL to an image from a JSP like this:
<img src="/<%= request.getContextPath()%>/images/logo.gif"/>
This is incorrect in a JSR-168 portlet. The correct method is:
<img src="<%= renderResponse.encodeURL(renderRequest.getContextPath()+ "../../images/logo.gif") %>"/>
encodeURL() method can take either a full path URI or a fully qualified URL. Full path URIs are the most common. Use this technique when the resource is embedded in the Web Application Archive (WAR) with your JSR-168 portlet. Fully qualified URLs are used when the image is sitting on a separate server. An example would be a caching server dedicated to serving static content, offloading traffic from the portal server. While you can use
encodeURL() with fully-qualified URLs to reference content outside your portlet, you should do so only if the resource is not accessible by the client. If the client can browse to the resource directly, do not use
encodeURL() on the URL. For example, if you have a Web server for static content within your firewall that portal users cannot browse to directly, call
encodeURL(). If it is outside your firewall and the portal users can browse directly to the web server, do not call
The URL passed into
encodeUrl() must be complete before the method call. Portions of the URL cannot be appended after the method call. For example, if you want to generate a URL from an XSLT transformation, you cannot pass the encoded base URL (
http://foo.com/) as a parameter and append paths (
pages/bar.jsp) to the encoded base in the transform.
The following call demonstrates the correct way to encode a URL to an image:
<@= renderResponse.encodeURL(renderRequest.getContextPath()+ "../../images/logo.gif")@>
It generates the following HTML fragment in BEA WebLogic Portal 9.2 using a
.portal file:

The following call is incorrect. The URL will not point to the intended resource.
<@= renderResponse.encodeURL(renderRequest.getContextPath()+ "../../images/")+"logo.gif"@>
It generates the following HTML fragment in WebLogic Portal 9.2 using a
.portal file:

Let's say you want to validate user input using JavaScript in your portlet. The following JavaScript function could be useful:

It is possible that another portlet in the same page will also have a JavaScript method named
validate() with different logic. The portal framework itself may employ JavaScript methods. The solution to this problem is to namespace methods and top-level variables in your client-side scripts. The
<portlet:namespace/> tag will generate one unique identifier per portlet. The first step is to include the portlet tag libraries in your JSP via a
taglib directive.
<%@taglib uri="#" prefix="portlet"%>
validate() method in the script can be differentiated with the tag.

Here is how you call the namespaced JavaScript method:
<form action="http://www.somesite.org/servlet" method="GET" onsubmit="return validate<portlet:namespace/>(this);"> Text(required):  <input type="text" name="bar" id="bar"> </form>
Client-side scripts often reference external resources (images, movies, external pages) to enhance the user interface. A common example is JavaScript that preloads images to make swapping images efficient. Here is an example:

URLs in these client-side scripts must be rewritten according to the JSR-168 specification. These scripts have to be in a JSP or JSR-168 portlet class to call the URL rewriting APIs. They cannot be in a standalone JavaScript (.js) file. Here is what a properly namespaced script with URL rewriting looks like in a JSR-168 portlet:

According to the JSR-168 specification, "A portlet must set the content type of the response using the
setContentType method of the
RenderResponse interface." A portlet that does not explicitly set its content type will compile successfully. WebLogic Portal will not execute a portlet that does not set its content type. Ensure your portlets set their content type.
This example demonstrates a portlet correctly setting its content type:
public class MyPortlet extends GenericPortlet { public void doView(RenderRequest request, RenderResponse response) throws PortletException, IOException { response.setContentType("text/html"); PrintWriter writer = response.getWriter(); writer.println("
I set my content type!
"); } }
This example is incorrect but will still compile:
public class MyPortlet extends GenericPortlet { public void doView(RenderRequest request, RenderResponse response) throws PortletException, IOException { // no content type set! PrintWriter writer = response.getWriter(); writer.println("
I did NOT set my content type!
"); } }
According to the JSR-168 portlet specification, calling
addCookie() on
HttpServletResponse does not actually set a cookie. Portlet containers that allow you to set a cookie are broken. Do not call this method.
If you'd like to persist information on a per-user basis while they are using the portal, you can persist the information as an attribute in the portlet's session. If you'd like to persist information after the user logs out, you can persist it in a data store (file system, database, LDAP, for example).
Experienced developers know that model viewer controller frameworks like Struts or Beehive make development of rich Web applications easier. The same holds true for portlets. JSR-168 is not the only deal in town for platform-independent portlets. WSRP portlets are portable among portals that implement the standard including non-Java portals. WebLogic Portal can expose Beehive and Struts portlets via WSRP.
If you are required to deploy portlets as JSR-168 WARs you still have options. The simplest technique to separate business logic from presentation logic in a JSR-168 portlet is to dispatch to a JavaServer Page (JSP). The portlet handles business logic in the rendering methods(
doView(), for example). The portlet passes information to a JSP using either an application-wide scope or the portlet scope. This example dispatches a request for a portlet to a JSP, passing a
String in the portlet's scope:
public void doView(RenderRequest request, RenderResponse response) throws PortletException, IOException { response.setContentType("text/html"); request.setAttribute("foo","bar"); String jsp = "/pages/portal.jsp"; PortletContext ctx = getPortletContext(); PortletRequestDispatcher dispatcher = ctx.getRequestDispatcher(jsp); dispatcher.include(request, response); }
The value of the path to the JSP (
jsp in the example above) does not include the context path of the portlet's Web archive (WAR).
JSR-168's dispatching methods allow separation of business logic and presentation. However, they lack the sophistication of mature MVC frameworks.
Frameworks for JSR-168 development include:
Struts Action 2 is a combination of Struts and WebWork, so the portlet codebases are nearly identical for now. These frameworks simplify the development and maintenance of complicated portlets.
Sticking to these guidelines will keep your portlets in line with the JSR-168 specification. Adhering to the specification makes it easier to move your portlets among Java portal servers. It also makes it easier to federate your portal's content using WSRP.

DENVER (AP) A marijuana industry investment group is pouring more than $1 million into cannabis businesses.
The ArcView Group's CEO Troy Dayton said deals are still being made after Tuesday's meeting in Denver.
According to the Denver Post, 22 companies made pitches to ArcView members. Requests range from $100,000 to $24 million.
ArcView, which was founded in 2010, is made up of about 80 investors from across the United States and a handful of other countries. Many of the investors are already involved in the marijuana industry, but Dayton says an increasing number are from outside the industry and looking for new investments.

By now everybody who uses the Internet knows that NEOBUX.com is the shiniest star among all the profitable PTC sites that require zero amount out of pocket money. It is the first PTC site to introduce out of the main balance referral renting and it has another tool that, as far as I know, only few know how to use it. I mean about the five colors flags together with the cursor in the middle up of the rented referrals page.
Per total activity on NEOBUX.com I may be still walking on moving sands, as I learn something new every day; there is one tool in particular,though, that I think I master and I like to share with you my secrets in order to maximize your earnings out of this wonderful PTC site. For the beginners I will summarize what it takes to earn hundreds of dollars on NEOBUX.com After you register for free at http://www.neobux.com/?r=simsimswife, and log in every day for a month at approximately the same hour for clicking the four ads (if you are lucky even more than four), you will have gained enough money to pass to the second step, the one of renting referrals. Nothing unclear up to this moment, as the terms of service, help and support as well as the multilingual forum sections are very well built to help you as you go. rent your first three referrals and from here I step in with those little secrets. The moment you have your three referrals visible on your rented referrals page, override the default settings and fix the three color cursor in the middle-up of the page to delimit the red area from 0 to 1.5, the yellow area from 1.5 to 3.5 and the green area above 3.5. The numbers represent the average clicks in a day from one rented referral. Keep it this way all the time. Monitor attentively every day the activity of your referrals. You will notice that starting with the first day of activity of your referrals the background will be colored according to your definition. If your referral has clicked four times, the row of that referral will have a green background and you should be happy, a green background makes you the fortunate owner of a very active referral. The white flag is for new referrals, the red flag is for referrals with very low activity: 1.0 or below, the orange for referrals with average clicking between 1.1 and 1.5, the yellow flag for a 1.5-3.5 average and the green for an average above 3.5. Keeping that in mind, the moment all your referrals have a background color, match the color of the flag for each referral with the background color and keep it unchanged for a week. This will help you understand the clicking pattern of your referrals. For example, after one week you can find an orange flag over a green background, which means that your referral got lazy, sick or busy with something else and has substantially decreased the average clicks a day, or on the contrary, a green flag over a pinkish background which means that your referral liked the taste of it and become very active. Congratulations! Red flags after a week of activity means you must get rid of that referral and exchange it with another one. Pay attention to the expiry date of a referral. The new rented referral received when you exchanged the old, inactive one, will have the same expiry date as the old one. Exchanging does not change the expiry date. When you have expiring referrals more than you can afford, pay for the green and the yellow flag referrals first. If you are doomed to lose a referral any way, why lose an active one? The solution to this problem is to pay from the very first moment when you can afford it, to keep your referrals for 90 days more, which gives you a 20% discount. Remember, it is not a bad deal because when you replace the inactive referral, you get to keep the new referral for the same number of days. For me the tool autopay worked more like a leakage in my balance. So I do not advise you, although it is possible that my missing something about the subject to be the culprit. Do not hesitate to ask me anything if there is something I didn't explain clearly enough.

Existing hypotheses for cacao's spread are discussed and illustrated using a GIS mapping of detailed topographic maps of South and Central America. By focusing on the potential paths which cacao could have been transported and grown (at elevations ranging from sea-level to 1000 m) it is possible to eliminate many previously proposed routes, and pinpoint the most likely locations for the cacao's earliest and subsequent dispersals. The paper also examines the ritual and cultural significance of cacao in Mesoamerica mainly based on the analysis of hieroglyphs and iconography as well as ethnohistorical, ethnographic, and other historical accounts. There is a commonality between the use of cacao in the archaeological and ethnohistorical record and in the iconographic analyses of vessels, temple wall murals, and other artifacts found throughout Mesoamerica. All of these lines of evidence point to the use of cacao for ritual and social purposes and its significance in religious and mythological symbolism. Directions for future work on cacao's origins and spread are proposed, especially with respect to archaeological sites in Central and South America—regions which currently lack direct evidence for cacao's historical uses, origins and spread. 2010-04-01T00:00:00Z Archaeological Investigations at the Whalen Farm Site (DfRs 3), 1949-1950.

Every now and then I get an email that says something along the lines of "I just picked up your book, [insert title of eighth or ninth book in series], and loved it so much I went back and got all the other ones in the series."
I love these emails, because they tell me I'm accomplishing one of my goals: to make sure each book stands on its own well enough to provide a satisfying read and potentially draw people into the rest of the series. These emails are a great reassurance to me. My instincts were right, and paying attention to this sort of thing while writing an open-ended, ongoing series really is important.
Making sure each book stands alone well enough to tell a complete and satisfying story is important to me, not just for the sake of aesthetics, but because every book might be some readers' first encounters with my writing. Some readers put out the effort to make sure they read a series in order. Some don't. I don't — generally, I'll read whatever's available, whether it's part of a series, first or last book in a series, or whatever. (The first Bujold book I read was Mirror Dance, because it had just won the Hugo Award. Not only is this book set in the middle of the series, it's in the middle of a three-book story arc. And I still loved it.)
This doesn't mean I can't have an ongoing storyline, and that the characters have to remain static. On the contrary, I think one of the attractions of a series is watching characters grow and develop. What I don't do is try to explain everything that's happened in the entire series in each new book. In a sense, I want to treat each book like the first book: what does the reader have to know about these people to understand the story I'm telling right now. Any backstory I provide is brief and topical. I don't really think of it as backstory, but as character description, along with clothing and demeanor. This character wears a leather jacket and has a resident Victorian ghost (because of what happened in book #6, but the reader doesn't need to know that much detail to understand the story right now).
A couple of anecdotes doesn't make for a hard and fast rule about how to write a series, but my own experience is that some people will read the later books in a series first. Maybe they got book #8 as a gift, maybe it was the only book available. But each book I write in the series, I have to ask: How will this read to someone encountering the series for the first time? That thought has served me well, I think.

I am a third generation to the North Shore located in Grand Marais Minnesota
and have been guiding photographers, fishermen, and hunters since the
mid 1970's.
The knowledge of the area, its lakes and the animals that inhabit its forests, has been passed down to me from men and women who made a living fishing, hunting and trapping in the areas early days. These people who influenced me as a child have since passed on, but their love of the lakes and forest is a tradition that is alive in me and my staff.
Our goal is to provide an outdoor experience that you will remember for the rest of your life. From watching the sunrise over Lake Superior on a fishing charter to hearing the serenade of loons as the moon rises over an inland lake as you enjoy an evening drift for walleyes.
For your North Shore experience let us be your guide.
This is our North Shore way of life. Come and

Above, a Crown Metal Products catalogue (date
unknown). Image courtesy Doug Corry.
Although No. 3 was built as a coal burner, it is now operated using compressed air from a compressor housed in the caboose.
Between 1960 and the late 1980s, Crown Metal Products, owned by Ken Williams and headquartered in Wyano, PA produced over fifty steam locomotives for the amusement park industry. They were all 4-4-0 "American" types and were either 15", 24" or 36" gauge models.
Ken named his first train "Little Toot," which became a kind of brand name for all the locomotives built by Crown Metal. The company ceased to exist in the early 1990s, but most of its products continue to operate in parks around the country.
Below, the Link Train in the museum yard.
No. 3 is a 24" gauge locomotive built at Crown Metal Products' works in Elizabeth, PA. It was
owned by Edwin A. Link, who is best known for
inventing the Link Trainer, an on-the-ground flight simulator used in World War II to train military
and civilian pilots.
No. 3 is coupled to two open passenger cars, an enclosed Parlor Car, and a "caboose" housing
the air compressor which currently powers the
train. Link named his train the East Swamp & Gatorville, but it is now known as the "Link Train."
Edwin A. Link.
In the 1920s, Edwin Albert Link developed the Link Trainer, a device with a cockpit and controls that produced the motions and sensations of flying. Much of the pneumatic system was adapted directly from technology used in the family's automatic piano and organ factory, the Link Piano and Organ Company in Binghamton, NY. He then formed the Link Aeronautical Corporation in 1929 to manufacture the trainers. Ironically, his first customers were not flight training schools but amusement parks, where the early models served as amusement rides.
Link's first military sales came as a result of what the press dubbed the "Air Mail Scandal," when the U.S. Army Air Corps took over carriage of U.S. Air Mail in 1934. Twelve pilots were killed in a 78 day period due to their unfamiliarity with Instrument Flying Conditions. The large scale loss of life prompted the Air Corps to look at a number of solutions, including Link's trainer. Eventually, the Air Corps bought six, and the Link company then started to expand rapidly.
During World War II, the ANT-18 Basic Instrument Trainer, known to tens of thousands of fledgling pilots as the "Blue Box" (although it was painted in colors other than blue in other countries), became standard equipment at every air training school in the United States and Allied nations. During the war years, Link produced over 10,000 Blue Boxes, turning out one every 45 minutes, and more than half a million airmen were taught in Link Trainers, as well as many others in the Allied countries. They were also used at War Bond Drives (one was used at a Flagler Street rally.) A number of examples have survived around the world, and the Link Flight Trainer has been designated an Historic Mechanical Engineering Landmark, by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers.
Above, a "Blue Box" at the Evergreen Aviation Museum in McMinnville, OR.
In 1953, Link established a foundation to support research and education in aeronautics and oceanography. The Link Foundation began awarding grants to universities and non-profit organizations, but Link was not just a pioneer in aviation.
After he sold his aeronautical company in 1954, he turned to underwater archeology and underwater research, developing equipment for deeper, longer lasting and more secure diving. He designed several submersible decompression chambers and the first small submersible designed for lockout diving, allowing divers to leave and enter the craft while underwater.
Steam trains were another of Link's interests, and he also established the Link Antique Steam Foundation, Inc., as well as building a track on the grounds of his Harbor Oceanographic Institute, in Ft. Pierce, FL for the East Swamp & Gatorville train. It was donated to us by the Institute in 1990, and now provides educational rides for our visitors on Saturdays and Sundays as well as during weekday school-group visits with advance notice.

No. 3 failed its hydrostatic inspection in 1998, when it was converted to compressed air. The company that checked the boiler for us said the flus were beyond repair. Up until then, it was operated on coal.
The Institute also donated a half-scale model of Robert Stephenson's steam engine, the "Rocket." The original, which was built 1829 in Newcastle Upon Tyne in the United Kingdom, incoprorated new design features that would become the template for most steam engines in the following 130 years.

Working pressure: 175 psi under steam / 100 psi with compressed air.
Tractive effort: 1,100 lbs.
Air Brakes: Bendix-Westinghouse rotary compressor driven from front driving axle on engine.
Hand Brake in cab operated by engineer.
Valve gear: Stephenson (inside).
Height to top of cab: 5 feet 3 inches.
Height to top of stack: 6 feet 6 inches.

How To Make A Hurricane Cocktail
Hurricane Cocktail. This classic cocktail is bound to bring a strong breeze into your hot summer afternoons by the pool. Be warned- this is strong! Enjoy our Hurricane Cocktail.
Step 1: You will need…
- 1 shot measure
- 1 knife
- 1 chopping board
- 1 squeezer
- 1 shaker
- 1 strainer
- 1 glass
- 1 short straw
Step 2: Prepare the cocktail
Half fill the shaker with ice.
Step 3: Tip
If you don't want to use a measure why don't you just free-pour the alcohol right from the bottle?
First, pour out a large splash or 40 millilitres of Gold Rum over the ice. Next, add a large splash, 40 millilitres of Light rum, a splash or 25 millilitres of gin, and about 10 ml of amaretto. Now pour on 150 millilitres of orange juice, add a dash of grenadine.
Step 4: Shake the cocktail, strain, and garnish, and serve
Place the strainer on the shaker and add 3 large ice cubes to a highball glass and strain the drink over the ice. Take a slice of orange, and cut a groove into the flesh of the fruit. Place this on the side of the glass and add a straw. Enjoy!

Glowing snowflakes line downtown Springfield streets at night. Dean Curtis/News-Leader
If you are behind me at the stop sign at Tampa Street and North Boonville Avenue and I linger a little too long, dont honk.
This time of year I have probably become mesmerized by the glowing snowflakes that line the street and historic City Hall trimmed in lights.
The snowflakes, managed by the Urban District Alliance and put up by crews from City Utilities, have graced the city streets since the early 1990s, purchased through private donations managed by the Springfield Area Chamber of Commerce.
There are not quite as many up this year. According to Barb Barker with the UDA, City Utilities put up about 88, down from the 100 or so a few years ago.
Barker went on to say that the numbers are down because they do not fit on the new streetscape poles. Also, some have fallen into disrepair.
Though if you drive down South Jefferson Avenue, you will see two have been added to Jubilee Park.
So please forgive my pause before I turn south on Boonville Avenue, and if you become mesmerized like me, I promise not to honk at you.

Fox Finds Its Abe for 'Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter'
The project is a big coup for the actor, who has been performing on Broadway of late. The actor, repped by WME, has appeared in movies such as "Flags of our Fathers" and "Kinsey."
But he elbowed his way to the front of the line in the screentests that took place earlier this month to nab the lead role of Honest Abe.
And what a role it is: It calls for the actor to play the famed president from the age of 20 to 55, from boyish and lanky to skilled fighter to middle-aged with trademarked beard.
Another role to watch out for is the part of Henry Sturges, who mentors and trains Abe in the ways of vampire hunting. The studio went after Tom Hardy before he took the role of Bane in "The Dark Knight Rises" but the part is now open.

Ocean Biogeochemical Dynamics provides a broad theoretical framework upon which graduate students and upper-level undergraduates can formulate an understanding of the processes that control the mean concentration and distribution of biologically utilized elements and compounds in the ocean. Though it is written as a textbook, it will also be of interest to more advanced scientists as a wide-ranging synthesis of our present understanding of ocean biogeochemical processes.
The first two chapters of the book provide an introductory overview of biogeochemical and physical oceanography. The next four chapters concentrate on processes at the air-sea interface, the production of organic matter in the upper ocean, the remineralization of organic matter in the water column, and the processing of organic matter in the sediments. The focus of these chapters is on analyzing the cycles of organic carbon, oxygen, and nutrients.
The next three chapters round out the authors' coverage of ocean biogeochemical cycles with discussions of silica, dissolved inorganic carbon and alkalinity, and CaCO3. The final chapter discusses applications of ocean biogeochemistry to our understanding of the role of the ocean carbon cycle in interannual to decadal variability, paleoclimatology, and the anthropogenic carbon budget. The problem sets included at the end of each chapter encourage students to ask critical questions in this exciting new field. While much of the approach is mathematical, the math is at a level that should be accessible to students with a year or two of college level
mathematics and/or physics.
"This textbook is a monumental and masterful achievement, and the authors should be congratulated both for taking on this important task and for the end result. . . . Every serious student and post-doc in this discipline, and all senior practitioners, should purchase or borrow a copy of this book and read it from cover to cover."

"Sarmiento and Gruber's book provides an excellent account of the current understanding of the issues and will serve as an important reference for experienced researchers. [..] The text is comprehensive yet readable, the best treatment of the subject to appear, in my opinion, since the seminal work Tracers in the Sea by Wallace S. Broecker and Tsung-Hung Peng. [..] I commend it without reservation."

An Albany woman has allegedly admitted to breaking into her father's home and stealing cash and checks.
Mysti Dawn Morris, 28, 5320 N. Delaware County Road 650-E, Albany, was arrested last week, preliminarily charged with burglary and two counts of forgery.
According to a probable cause affidavit, Morris admitted she used a ladder to gain access to a second-floor window to the house, in the 1800 block of East 17th Street, in April.
Morris allegedly cut herself when the window broke as she left the house, and police collected blood evidence at the scene and submitted it to an Indiana State Police laboratory.
Three checks taken from the home were cashed, for a total of $318.
According to court records, Morris was convicted of theft in 2011 and 2008.

Head and Neck Cancer
What is Head and Neck Cancer?
Cancers may arise in the lining of the nose, mouth, throat or voicebox. Depending on where the cancer started, it may be more specifically called an oral cancer (when it started in the mouth or tongue), an oropharyngeal cancer (when it started in the tonsil or base of tongue) or larynx cancer (when it started in the voicebox).
Sometimes, some of the cancer cells will detach from the site or origin and drift into lymph nodes in the neck. When this happens, the cancer is said to have spread or metastasized.
Lymph nodes are specialized filters within the body, containing immune cells that help to ward off infection. When cancer cells become trapped in a lymph node, they may grow into a lump that can be felt through the skin. Someone may become aware of a lump in the neck but have no other symptoms such as a sore in the mouth or throat.
In recommending treatment, doctors consider where the cancer started, its extent or size, and whether it has spread. Doctors have also have started to consider the cause of the cancer in recommending specific types of treatment.
Treatment Options for Head and Neck Cancer
In recommending treatment, doctors consider where the location of the cancer, its extent or size, and whether it has spread. Treatments for oral cavity cancer may be quite different from those for oropharynx, larynx or nasal cancers.
Head and Neck Cancer Patient Stories
From surgery to chemotherapy to reconstruction, Fox Chase helped Patricia Cantwell in her recovery from cancer of the jaw.
Learn more about her journey and the experience of others treated for sarcoma at Fox Chase.
Sometimes, the unique features of a cancer suggest that it could be controlled successfully using one of several different treatments. For example, some patients with cancer on the vocal cord could have cancer removed surgically with a laser, or they may undergo radiation treatments. Either approach is likely to be effective. On the other hand, a patient with a more advanced cancer may require the coordinated treatments of several doctors to successfully control the cancer. For example, some patients with cancer may need radiation, even after surgery removes the cancer, to increase the odds that the cancer will not recur.
At Fox Chase Cancer Center, patients often meet with more than one doctor during their initial evaluation. A coordinated evaluation by doctors with specialized areas of expertise will ensure that treatment will not only successfully cure the cancer, but also suit the specific needs of the patient and preserve quality of life.
