$2 million to aid homeless may be reducing need in Westmoreland
When the Westmoreland Coalition on Housing first met 14 years ago, the founding members didn't think homelessness was a problem.
"We thought everybody had a place to stay," said Bill Connolly, director of the Next Steps Supporting Housing program through Westmoreland Community Action. "We've found out how many people struggle with housing in Westmoreland County."
About 80 people representing social service agencies and governmental bodies throughout the county gathered in Hempfield on Wednesday for the coalition's annual meeting to discuss issues facing their groups and their clients.
Connolly said the Homeless Management Information System, an initiative of the Department of Housing and Urban Development, has helped to provide solid data on the numbers of homeless people and their needs. The database pulls together client information from 10 organizations in the county to provide a snapshot of the homeless population.
In fiscal year 2010, those 10 agencies served 679 clients from 453 households who needed assistance with housing. In fiscal year 2011, which ended Sept. 30, those numbers dropped to 635 clients from 408 households.
The decrease is significant because, at the same time, about $2.1 million from the federal Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing Program was being distributed in the county.
That money was part of a three-year initiative to help people avoid eviction, pay overdue rent or utility bills, receive emergency short-term housing at local hotels and find or re-establish secure housing.
In 2010, it was distributed to 1,260 clients from 502 households. This year, it went to 477 clients from 191 households.
The funds allocated for Westmoreland County have been nearly depleted in 1 1⁄2 years, Connolly said.
"But we don't see the rise in homelessness going up as the HPRP monies are going down," he said.
The vast majority of clients served by both programs have sought help only once.
"Many people are staying in place after finding permanent housing or the help they need," he said.
Most of those needing help -- 46 percent in 2010 and 45 percent in 2011 -- last lived in the Greensburg ZIP code. Connolly said that's reflective of the fact that people often move to the county seat for jobs, services and ease of transportation, then need assistance.
But homelessness isn't just an adult issue.
Mary Clark, who coordinates the Homeless Children's Initiative through the Westmoreland Intermediate Unit, said school districts counted 300 homeless students in 2010-11. Most were "doubled-up" by living temporarily with other family members or friends after losing their home. Others were staying in a hotel or motel or spent time in a shelter. Clark said one child was living on a hillside.
Clark said 209 of the students were staying with their parents, while 91 were unaccompanied.
She said the numbers highlight a common misperception of the homeless as a veteran living under a bridge in a big city.
"The fastest-growing segment of the homeless population are single women and their children," Clark said.

DC Shooting: Shame on You New York Daily News
Posted By Kelley Beaucar Vlahos On October 4, 2013 @ 4:30 am In News | Comments Disabled
UPDATE: More grist [1]: "law enforcement sources" now telling NBC News that Carey, "may have thought that President Barack Obama was stalking her." Old boss tells NBC affiliate that she was fired from old job for being "too rough" with dental patients.
UPDATE 10/6: Little more is known about Carey or what happened on Thursday. Stories emerge that suggest she was taken in for a "mental health evaluation" last December [2]. More troubling are reports that she was shot inside her car. [3] Remember, initial news flashes said Carey had emerged from her vehicle after crashing it on the Capitol Grounds, suggesting she might have acted aggressively toward awaiting police. Thankfully, some Beltway writers are showing more [4] skepticism toward the cops' version of events today.
The New York Daily News [5] should be ashamed, as well as any other news outfit that has jumped to conclusions in favor of the mentally-ill-woman-police-were-just-doing-their-jobs-and-by-the-way-they're-heroes-we-live-in-a-scary-world storyline. But the New York City paper, known for dwarfing word space and actual copy with hyperbolic Citizen Kane headlines and even bigger paparazzi photography, takes the prize for reporting on yesterday's shooting of an unarmed mother on Capitol Hill.
There was horror on the Hill when a crazed Connecticut woman who tried to ram her way into the White House was shot and killed Thursday after leading police on a high-speed chase through the heart of Washington.
Now we know someone is trying to earn their hard-boiled, wiseguy writing chops here, but step off Lee Tracy [6], this account is so far from reality that it goes beyond Big Apple embellishment. It's just plain wrong. There is no evidence, yet, that 34-year-old Miriam Carey of Stamford, Connecticut, who has been identified as the dead woman, tried to "ram the gates of the White House," which the Daily News and a host of irresponsible news reports charged willy-nilly on Thursday. As for being "crazed," there is some thread of unknown origin that Carey had been suffering from "mental illness," "mental issues," "depression" and/or "post-pardum depression" (the last two were from the Daily News gumshoes who stalked Carey's family in New York Thursday night, snapping photos of their weary faces from across the street).
Simply put, from all the interviews I've scanned on the story — some of the most authoritative reporting I've seen so far has been from The Washington Post [7] — the best picture I can get is that Carey was a dutiful dental hygienist, who was generally liked, and for some unknown reason drove down to Washington with her one-year-old daughter in a luxury car, where she led police on a deadly high-speed chase.
Meanwhile, eye-witness accounts and raw video [8] tell a different story about "crazed woman" in the Infiniti sedan. It looks like she might have made a wrong turn down a cordoned street (of which there are many) around the White House (though to be entirely fair, the DC police chief says it was no "accident," but has offered no details to that end [9]). She was yelled at, according to witnesses, by a plain-clothed guard and others who banged on the hood of her car. She freaked, hit the guard and a makeshift barricade that was put in her way, then tried to turn around and flee. Shots were fired at her car and the chase ensued. It ended in a hail of bullets when Carey emerged from the car (see UPDATE), outside the Hart Office Building on Capitol Hill (not far away), reportedly unarmed. From Time [10]:
B.J. Campbell, 69, a tourist visiting from Portland, Ore., said he saw the black car drive past White House security. Officers began "banging on the car, yelling at her," Campbell told TIME. One tried to use a bicycle rack to box in the vehicle, but the car spun around and rammed into the rack and hit the officer, who was not wearing a uniform. The officer, whom the Associated Press identified as a Secret Service agent, was knocked onto the hood of the car and rolled off onto the street, according to Campbell. However, another witness said the officer got up and did not appear to be injured.
No evidence yet has been provided, save for rumors, that she was "crazed," or that she was trying to "ram the barricades" in some Kamikaze-style mission to wreak havoc on "the heart of our nation," which, frankly, is how the blaring headlines sounded the alarms here in Washington yesterday when the facts were still fuzzy. Capitol Hill was on lock down, with everyone — last month's horrific Navy Yard shootings no doubt fresh on their minds — fearing the worst. Washington, the city under siege. The media, which is always in the same place at the same time on Capitol Hill, swarmed the crime scene. But it turned out not to be the work of terrorists at all, but an unarmed black mother whose side of the story, essentially, will go to her grave.
Meanwhile, beyond the garish headlines and the applause — yes, the police got a "standing ovation" [11] from members of the House of Representatives afterwards, ostensibly for riddling a woman's car and body with bullets — we know nothing except a woman is dead and her child, motherless.
The police will no doubt be excused for engaging in a dangerous high speed chase through the streets of Washington, endangering pedestrians and the child inside (there are confusing reports about whether they saw the baby inside before she left the White House area or not) and then shooting Carey dead. This is a post-9/11 world, where she could have easily been careening toward the Capitol, armed with a trunk full of explosives, right? The truth is, more people are killed by cops each year [12] than terrorists have attacked our cities. We need to get to the bottom of what happened to Miriam Carey, and keep the terror bugaboo out of it. And please, New York Daily News, stop acting like a law enforcement apparatchik, just do your job and report the facts. If they're not readily available, don't make them up.

A new car. My husband and I have one vehicle between us and its the '95 Toyota Tacoma I bought new when I was 18. I love that truck and still think of it as my 'new' truck, even though it is almost 10 years old! But, I'd really just like a new car and preferably one that seats more than two people.

|WITHDRAWN: Exercise for treating anterior cruciate ligament injuries in combination with collateral ligament and meniscal damage of the knee in adults.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 21563147 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|BACKGROUND: The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is the most frequently injured ligament of the knee. The ACL may be damaged in isolation but often other ligaments and menisci are implicated. The injury may be managed surgically or conservatively. Injury causes pain, effusion and inflammation leading to alteration in muscle function. Regaining muscular control is essential if the individual wishes to return to pre-injury level of function and patients will invariably be referred for rehabilitation.
OBJECTIVES: To present the best evidence for effectiveness of exercise used in the treatment of ACL injuries in combination with collateral ligament and meniscal damage to the knee in adults, on return to work and pre-injury levels of activity.
SEARCH STRATEGY: We searched the Cochrane Bone, Joint and Muscle Trauma Group Specialised Register (October 2006), Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (The Cochrane Library 2006, Issue 3), MEDLINE (1996 to October 2006), EMBASE (1980 to October 2006), other databases and reference lists of articles.
SELECTION CRITERIA: We included randomised controlled trials and quasi-randomised trials testing exercise programmes designed to treat adults with ACL injuries in combination with collateral ligament and meniscal damage. Included trials randomised participants to receive any combination of the following: no care, usual care, a single-exercise intervention, and multiple-exercise interventions. The primary outcome measures of interest were returning to work and return to pre-injury level of activity post treatment, at six months and one year.
DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS: Two authors independently assessed trial quality and extracted data. Study authors were contacted for additional information. Adverse effects information was collected from the trials.
MAIN RESULTS: Five trials (243 participants) evaluated different exercise programmes following ACL reconstruction and one trial (100 participants) compared supervised with self-monitored exercises as part of conservative treatment. No study compared the effect of exercise versus no exercise. Methodological quality scores varied considerably across the trials; participant and assessor blinding were poorly reported. Pooling of data was rarely possible due to the wide variety of comparisons, outcome measures and time points reported, and lack of appropriate data. Insufficient evidence was found to support the efficacy of one exercise intervention over another.
AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS: This review has demonstrated an absence of evidence to support one form of exercise intervention over another. Further research should be considered in the form of large scale well-designed and well-reported randomised controlled trials with suitable outcome measures and surveillance periods. Suitable outcome measures should include a measure of functional outcome relevant to the individual.

A pedestrian suffered life-threatening injuries Saturday night when he was struck by a car as he walked across Mission Boulevard in Santa Rosa.
A preliminary investigation concluded the man was in the crosswalk when he was hit, said police at the scene of the 7:10 p.m. accident.
The victim, who appeared to be in his twenties, was taken to Memorial Hospital in Santa Rosa. His name was not immediately known, said Santa Rosa Police Sgt. Brad Conners.
The accident was on the east side of Mission Boulevard at Randall Lane. The street, a heavily traveled thoroughfare between Highway 12 and Montecito Boulevard, remained closed in both directions more than two hours after the accident as investigators pored over the scene.
Passersby and neighbors stood around in clusters and complained about how dangerous the crosswalk is. Equipment left by emergency crews lay in the street around torn clothing about 40 feet from the crosswalk. A stream of blood ran to the curb.
A Kaiser Permanente Medical Center emergency room nurse drove up on the accident before emergency crews arrived and jumped out to minister to the victim.
"I just tried to keep his airway open until medics got here, but it was bad," said the nurse, a man who declined to give his name as he waited to be interviewed by investigators.
The car that struck the victim was driven by a 40-year-old Santa Rosa man who was going northbound on Mission Boulevard, Conners said. His name was not available.
There was no indication the driver was impaired by alcohol or drugs, Conners said.
The crosswalk is to the north of the intersection, and on Saturday night it was dimly lit by three streetlights, one of which regularly blinked off for about a minute at a time.

Doom is a series of first-person shooter video games developed by id Software. The series focuses on the exploits of an unnamed space marine operating under the UAC (Union Aerospace Corporation), who fights hordes of demons and the undead in order to survive.
Doom is considered to be one of the pioneering first-person shooter games, introducing to IBM-compatible computers features such as 3D graphics, third dimension spatiality, networked multiplayer gameplay, and support for player-created modifications with the Doom WAD format. Since the release of Doom in 1993, the series has spawned numerous sequels, expansion packs, and a film.
Since its debut, over 10 million copies of games in the Doom series have been sold.

Common elements[edit]
|This section requires expansion. (November 2014)
The Doom video games consist of first-person shooters in which the player's character battles the forces of Hell, consisting of demons and the undead.
Development and history[edit]
The development of the original Doom started in 1992, when John D. Carmack developed a new game engine, the Doom engine, while the rest of the id Software team finished the Wolfenstein 3D prequel, Spear of Destiny.
Doom II: Hell on Earth was released in 1994.
Doom 64 was released in 1997, developed by Midway Games and supervised by id Software.[1]
The Doom series remained dormant between 1997 and 2000, when Doom 3 was announced. A retelling of the original Doom using entirely new graphics technology, Doom 3 was hyped to provide as large a leap in realism and interactivity as the original game and helped renew interest in the franchise when it was released in 2004. Doom 3 had its own expansion pack released in 2005, titled Doom 3: Resurrection of Evil.
After the Doom 4 project development was scrapped in 2013, id Software's Tim Willits said that the next game in the Doom series was still the team's focus, but it has not been confirmed to be titled Doom 4.[2] It was later renamed to simply Doom in 2014. The game is supposed to become a full reboot of the series, rather than a continuation or origin story of earlier games.[3]
Other media[edit]
A set of four novels based on Doom were written with permission of id Software by Dafydd ab Hugh and Brad Linaweaver. The books, listed in order, are titled Knee Deep in the Dead, Hell on Earth, Infernal Sky and Endgame. All were published between June 1995 and January 1996 by Pocket Books. Some in the Doom community started calling the unnamed Marine in the games "Flynn Taggart" or "Fly", after the main character of the novels, at least for a time. The first two books featured recognizable locations and situations from the first two games.
Additionally, a comic book was issued in May 1996, produced by Tom Grindberg of Marvel Comics as a giveaway for a video game convention, and original art from that project was put up for auction on eBay in April 2004. It was criticized for ridiculous dialogue and a poor story, as well as erroneous representations of some weapons from the game.[according to whom?]
On January 31, 2005, a board game resembling the classic Space Hulk was released, entitled Doom: The Boardgame.[4]
An eponymous film adaptation was released in 2005.
In early 2008, a new series of Doom novels by Matthew J. Costello were published, an author who had worked on the story and scripts for Doom 3 and Resurrection of Evil. The series of books aim to novelize the story of Doom 3, with the first installment, Worlds on Fire, published on February 26, 2008.[5] The second book in the series, Maelstrom, was released in March 2009.[6]
Id Software CEO Todd Hollenshead has stated in an interview that another Doom movie, possibly based on Doom 4, might be made.[7]
Strategy guides released in printed editions include:
- Robert Waring: Doom: Totally Unauthorized Tips & Secrets, Brady Publishing
- Jonathan Mao Mendoza: The Official Doom Survival Guide, ISBN 0-7821-1546-2
- Rick Barba: Doom Battlebook: Secrets of the Games series, Prima Publishing, ISBN 1-55958-651-6
For the 20th anniversary of the series, the Game-Art-HQ community created an art tribute with 20 illustrations of the characters from the game.

In 1996, Next Generation ranked the series as the 19th top game of all time, for how "despite the hundreds of copycat titles, no one has ever been able to equal id's original, pulsing classic."[8]

Creating a Web 2.0 web application with Ajax, a technology that includes but is not limited to Asynchronous JavaScript and XML, for seamless data interaction is a complex undertaking. To help you understand exactly what Web 2.0 is and how Ajax works to improve the user experience, the Java BluePrints program team developed the Java Pet Store 2.0 reference application. By exploring the use cases, design, and implementation of the Pet Store 2.0 application, you can learn more about building an application with similar functionality.
The Java Pet Store 2.0 demo provides a meeting ground for buyers and sellers of pets, as well as for pet lovers just wanting to look. This application illustrates how you can use the Java Platform, Enterprise Edition 5 (Java EE 5) to develop an Ajax-enabled Web 2.0 application. It comes with full source code available under a BSD-style license, so you can experiment with it and use it in your own applications.
Also, the Java Pet Store 2.0 demo illustrates the use of Ajax-enabled JavaServer Faces component libraries and the Java Persistence API, the model-view-controller (MVC) and other design patterns, and mashups, which are web applications that combine data from multiple sources. Try the Live Java Pet Store 2.0 application and then download it.
This article provides an overview of the many features found in the Java Pet Store 2.0 demo and demonstrates how the content is user-driven and user-organized, as well as user-policed.
The Java Pet Store 2.0 demo is a Web 2.0 application. What exactly is Web 2.0?
Historically, web sites started as a collection of HTML pages that simply provided information about a company or topic. Many of these sites were glorified advertisements. Over time, web sites evolved to include pages that were dynamic, allowing users to enter information or requirements, usually through a form of some type. The information was passed to a server, which then passed a page back to the user. The user's browser page reloaded to include the requested information. Some popular dynamic features were polls, surveys, and merchandise searches. Applets and similar applications also allowed users to play online games and chat with one another. Yet no matter how dynamic most of these sites were, the content was dictated by the site owner, and navigation was ordered in the way the owner felt was most suitable for the web properties.
With Web 2.0, web sites are becoming user-driven, not owner-driven. Users can add their own content, and they can tag their own content as well as content that other people have added -- thus, the data is organized by the public's needs. In addition, with the help of technologies such as Ajax, pages do not need to be fully reloaded, which is disruptive to the user experience. Instead, information fragments are passed asynchronously behind the scenes, causing only small portions of the page to be redrawn, giving the user an experience that more closely matches that of using a desktop application.
The BluePrints team created the Java Pet Store 2.0 reference application using Web 2.0: All of its content is user-driven, and it allows users to tag the data in a way that makes sense to them. In addition, the Java Pet Store demo uses an Ajax user interface (UI) throughout the application to provide a richer user experience that resembles a desktop application. Lastly, the Java Pet Store demo includes dynamic data and mashups of live services. This article will define all of these features and will explain the technologies involved.
You have likely visited web sites that have to reload entire pages every time you click a menu item or link. Not only does this slow down the application, but it is jarring to the eyes and sometimes can be disorienting, especially if you are viewing pages with a lot of data. To overcome some of these issues, all of the pages in the Java Pet Store demo use Ajax to create a smoother user experience and to avoid unsightly complete-page reloads.
Ajax uses JavaScript technology with an HTML page to asynchronously make calls to the server and fetch data. The JavaScript technology may then use this data to update or modify the Document Object Model (DOM) of the HTML page. Developers originally used Ajax with XML documents to represent data, but they increasingly use other formats.
Ajax interactions allow for a clear separation of presentation logic from the data. An HTML page can pull in small portions of data as needed rather than reloading the whole page every time a change is to be displayed. Ajax requires a different server-side architecture to support this interaction model. Traditionally, server-side web applications have focused on generating HTML documents for every client event that results in a call to the server. The client then refreshed and re-rendered the complete HTML page for each response. Rich web applications, such as the Java Pet Store 2.0 demo, focus on a client fetching an HTML document, which acts as a template or container for injecting content based on client events, using data retrieved from a server-side component.
As you go through the Java Pet Store application, you'll see instances in which content on a page is seamlessly changed without requiring the reload of an entire page. The application uses Ajax for other features as well. Figure 1 points out some of these special features.
The navigation menu on the left side of the application's home page also displays with a fish-eye, a visual distortion as though seen through a fish-eye camera lens, when you mouse over the menu items. This is a fun example of ways to use Ajax and JavaScript technologies to make the page more lively. Although some viewers may find lively pages annoying, this somewhat gratuitous usage of Ajax highlights the ability to make your pages more lively.
As soon as the user clicks on a pet type, for example, dogs, the center of the screen where the parrot was refreshes with an image of a dog, new Ajax navigation, and an Ajax scroller appears at the bottom of the screen. Figure 2 identifies those sections on the resulting page.
The administrators of the Java Pet Store application have provided only the main categories of pets in the home page's navigation bar on the left and some basic navigation. The users provide the content itself: the pets for sale. In addition, users can tag, or apply their own descriptions to, the content in a way that is meaningful to them. In this way, the Java Pet Store application is based on user-driven content.
Figure 3 shows the page that displays when you click on the category Dogs. This page contains several features worth noting. The scroller at the bottom of the screen displays photographs of several dogs. Click on any of these, and the large picture of the dog is replaced seamlessly with the image of the dog you selected.
If you click on the arrows in the continuous Ajax scroller, the behind-the-scenes code asynchronously fetches chunks of the list of images in a category. Thus, as the user scrolls through the photos, the scroller smoothly displays what seems like a continuous list. In this way, the user is not jarred by a page having to refresh. This is a good example of how Ajax can make the user experience better. In a web application without Ajax, as the user scrolls though a list of images, the application has to make another request to the server to fetch a whole new page and then display the page again. By using Ajax, the application can fetch the next set of data -- image URLs, in this case -- and update only part of the page to replace the images. Additionally, the client side of the application can cache some of the data and reuse that data as the user scrolls through the list of images, thus avoiding yet another trip to the server.
Just above the scroller is the shadow pane. This pane contains a number of features, one of which is another arrow set with an arrow pointing up or down. When a user clicks this arrow set, a shadow pane appears with detailed information about the pet. This is a common Ajax UI use case. The shadow pane is unobtrusive and is easy to pull up or hide.
On the shadow pane, the user also has the ability to use the PayPal service to send payment to the seller. When a user clicks on the PayPal button in the Pet Store 2.0 application to purchase a pet, the PayPal developer sandbox page comes up. Of course, in a real-world application, you would use a real PayPal account, which would allow the user to purchase the pet.
Lastly, note the navigation bar on the left of Figure 3. Scrolling over any of the items opens an "accordion" of subcategories without requiring the page to reload. Here, Ajax allows the user to easily navigate through various pet subcategories. It also allows the BluePrints team to present a large set of categories and subcategories in a visually effective way.
Each page within the Java Pet Store demo has a common news banner across the top, shown in Figure 1. This banner is a news bar or ticker that rotates the top four headlines from the live BluePrints project RSS feed from java.net. The user can either click on a headline in the news banner and go directly to the RSS item on java.net or click on the words News from BluePrints, which lead to a page that is created within the application BluePrints News.
RSS is a lightweight XML document designed for sharing headlines and other web content. RSS syntax defines an XML document with a set of HTML-like tags for sharing news headlines, article titles, and so forth. Each RSS XML file contains both static information about the site and dynamic information about new stories, all surrounded by matching start and end tags. A web site then makes this RSS feed available to those who want headline links to that data. Once information about each item is in RSS format, RSS-aware programs called news aggregators can check the feed for changes and react to the changes in an appropriate way.
In this case, java.net is providing the RSS service, hence the XML document, and the Java Pet Store application is an aggregator that decodes that XML file into a format that fits on the news banner as live links to news and blogs.
The news banner is spread across all the pages of the Java Pet Store demo, and it contains a link to the news page as well as links to several of the top stories and blogs from the BluePrints live announcement RSS feed on java.net. Users can click on the Next and Previous buttons to get more stories. The use of Ajax avoids a whole-page refresh. Instead, only the news items are replaced, allowing the page template to stay the same.
The Java Pet Store demo allows users to tag pets with a descriptive word, such as awesome, or with a coat color, breed name, or other characteristic. As shown in Figure 1, the home page contains a tag cloud on the right side of the page, which displays the most popular tags. This allows users to browse the content by way of a user-driven categorization of that content.
When a user creates a tag for a pet, the tag is stored in the database and associated with that pet. The system keeps track of all the tags that users have entered and the number of times that they have entered the same tag. Tags then appear in the tag cloud and are assigned a color and font size based on the popularity of that tag. When a user clicks on one of the tags in the tag cloud, the application retrieves a list of the associated pets.
The seller page allows the user to upload a pet's photos and information about the pet to share within the Java Pet Store application. The user must provide information in a form about the pet for sale, and a rich-text editor is embedded into the form, allowing the user to add text formatting, such as bold or italics, to the pet's description. Figure 4 shows the rich-text editor.
When the user has filled in that form, Ajax seamlessly makes the next form appear. This page asks for information about the seller. Use of Ajax on this form allows word completion in the form's city field. This makes it easy to choose the correct city from the drop-down menu.
Lastly, a CAPTCHA is included to discourage placement of spurious content. A CAPTCHA, short for Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart, requires that the user type the letters of a distorted image, sometimes with the addition of an obscured sequence of letters or digits that appears on the screen. Figure 5 shows the word completion drop-down menu as well as the CAPTCHA.
When the user clicks the Submit button, a progress bar displays as the user's data and image are uploaded onto the server. When the process is complete, a Thank You page displays the photo that the user uploaded and a link to the page that displays that photo. One of this article's authors uploaded a photo of Harry, a barracuda she met and photographed in Florida, which you can see in the live application demo. Obviously, she can't really sell Harry, but this example demonstrates the process of how the seller page and upload feature work in the Java Pet Store application. Figure 6 shows the final pet page for Harry.
The seller page also allows the user to upload an image from the desktop to the Java Pet Store server, where other users can view it. As the next section will show in detail, the image and description are both validated by the forms, as well as by the server, and the application then automatically creates thumbnails of the images.
Allowing users to provide content with easy-to-use mechanisms for delivering that content is what makes the Java Pet Store a Web 2.0 application, along with the features that make interface transitions, such as the use of Ajax to reload partial areas of the page, and the update process seamless and appealing. But allowing users to enter content into a web site and making it immediately available to other users raises additional issues.
Validating the content can be done at several levels, starting with the form on which the user provides information about the pet, checking for proper formatting of text as well as proper size and formatting of images, and checking for nefarious code that users may have entered into the form. On the database level, the data is checked for proper storage and retrieval.
The validation of the form has two facets:
Client-Side Validation
.gif or
.png -- and that the description field does not contain a script or link tag for security. If the application allowed the user to upload JavaScript files or allowed display fields to have script elements in them, then hackers could use such a security hole to hijack the page or misuse the server's resources.
Server-Side Validation
This preliminary application defense can easily be overcome. With server-side validation, you can show the user all the errors for the upload at one time rather than showing each error one at a time. If you show each error one at a time, then the user must keep submitting the data and endure the propagation delay to see the next error. This functionality was implemented in each entity's specific class. For example, the
Address class validates its own data, but because the
Item class is a composite class, it validates its own data and calls the validation methods for any of the classes that it contains, such as the
Address class.
The server-side validation goes beyond client-side validation to include checks that are not possible on the client side. For example, checks on the server side guard against SQL injection of JavaScript attacks.
Validation also checks whether the submitted image is a valid image and whether it is small enough to post. For maintenance and security purposes, the application limits the upload size to approximately 100 kilobytes. This limit prevents users from uploading images that could cause a maintenance problem in terms of disk space and put unnecessary load on the server, which could cause a form of denial-of-service attack. Because the upload is in multipart mime format, allowances are made for accompanying data and multipart mime overhead. The overall upload is limited to 150 kilobytes, which provides ample room for the user to upload a 100-kilobyte image. If the upload size is less than 150 kilobytes, then the upload proceeds. If the size is greater than 150 kilobytes,, then a status object is set with the error so that it can be read by the client and shown to the user. The application then discontinues the upload.
The seller page, available in the top menu at all times, as shown in Figure 1, addresses some of the validation issues. Other parts of the application address it as well.
Also on the shadow pane is a pet-rating system illustrated in Figure 2 by the use of stars. By default, the average of users' ratings for that item is displayed. To rate a pet, a user just clicks one of the stars. Once the user has selected the rating, the information is passed to the server, where it is combined with the ratings that other users have given, and the server calculates a new aggregate rating. This new rating is then displayed for all subsequent views.
Because users provide the content displayed on the Java Pet Store web site, the application must take some steps to ensure that users do not fill the site with inappropriate content. In addition to giving the site's users the ability to add their own content, the site must allow users to weed out bad content. Users are provided with a policing function that allows anyone to flag an image as inappropriate by clicking the "Flag as inappropriate" link, as shown in Figure 3.
When a user clicks this link, a pop-up box displays, asking if the user is sure the image should be removed. When the user clicks OK, the image appears to have been deleted. However, behind the scenes, the application only flags the image, so that application administrators can later decide whether to remove the image permanently from the database. This prevents users from deleting all of the content, while flagging content that may truly be offensive or inappropriate.
Policing of some kind is necessary with user-driven content to prevent unrelated or undesirable images or text. You must have some means of flagging inappropriate content to be removed, as shown in the earlier discussion of the shadow pane. In addition, you must have a way to prevent spammers from adding content.
The application pages also provide a keyword-based search function. You can see this at work by clicking on Search in the upper main menu in the header of the Pet Store pages, as shown in Figure 1. The Pet Store implementation uses the Apache Lucene search engine to index the name, description, and tags stored for each item. To search only on the name and the description, avoiding the tags, the user should deselect the Also Search Tags checkbox.
On the search page, you'll see the typical search box. By default, the word
cat appears in the box. Click the Submit button, and a page of results appears. You can mouse over the link to each pet's name on the results page to get a pop-up box that contains information about that particular pet, including its picture and address, as shown in Figure 7. Additionally, in the Tags column on the right side of the results page, you can read the tag words that users have entered for each pet and add one of your own. Simply click Add Tags, and a dialog box appears. Enter a tag word, and you'll see it appear with the others for that pet. Notice that the price for each pet also appears in the Price column on the far right of these search results.
The Java Pet Store search facility allows you not only to search by a specific pet type or keyword but also to customize the search specifically within your neighborhood. The search data is then mashed up with a Google Maps service to provide detailed results that are customized for the user.
A mashup is the result of combining content-specific data with the service of another web site from one or more providers into an integrated experience. Mashups differ from simply integrating a service. For instance, the java.net RSS feed is a service that is provided and used within the Java Pet Store application. The data from the XML file provided by java.net is simply pulled into the application and formatted into the web page as links. When a user clicks on one of those links, the browser takes the user to the java.net web site to read the article or blog.
With a mashup, however, the service is not only brought into the Java Pet Store application, it also interacts with the data that the user has provided, and it then displays the customized results within the application. In this way, the data from the search result is mashed up with the service from Google Maps and conveniently displayed within the application.
To try the mashup for a location-based search, click on Search in the top menu bar. In the search results page, select a few of the pets by checking some of the boxes in the Map column, then scroll to the bottom of the page. Enter your address or the one suggested below the text field, and click Map Checked Items. At the bottom of your browser, you'll see Google URLs flashing as the application calls the Google Maps service and pulls the results from your data into the form of a map on the page. In this way, the application provides a mashup of a location-specific search of pets with a Google Maps service to locate available pets in your area.
You can do something similar by clicking on Map in the top menu bar on any of the application's pages. This page leads into the Google Maps client-side mashup page to display the catalog items on the map for the category you selected. By entering an optional center-point address with a search area in miles, the user can further restrict the category to show only the items in the specific area around the center point. The map page then gives you the option of which pet types you want to search for, the area you want searched, and the number of miles you want the search to be from your home base. You then get a page of results that looks something like Figure 8.
The left side of the Google Maps page provides hyperlinks that correspond to specific points on the map. The user can click on the map points or use the hyperlinks to select a specific point. When the user hovers over the hyperlinks, a pop-up window displays details about the item, information that the application has retrieved by using an Ajax request. A link for each item sends the user to the specific item on the catalog page, showing detailed information about the item.
The Java Pet Store 2.0 application consists of many technologies and a mashup of services:
This article provided an overview of how the Web 2.0 Java Pet Store application is driven by user content and how it uses Ajax for a smoother user experience through a number of different features.

Taking a selfie during the Running of the Bulls in Pamplona, Spain, this week proved costly for one man. He was fined $4,100 (3,000 euros) for snapping the picture as he attempted to flee the charging bulls, Spanish media outlet the Local reported.
You can view the image below.
Selfie? Daftie, in the running of the bulls up in Pamplona this morning. (Via @el_pais ) pic.twitter.com/5l3hMxgS1c
— AS English (@English_AS) July 11, 2014
Along with the runner fined for taking a selfie, a man was also fined for video recording the bull run with a drone.
Ahead of this year's San Fermin festival, the event's organizers said they planned to work on cracking down on participants for taking selfies. The selfie ban is a protective measure for runners who must navigate the streets of Pamplona as the bulls charge behind them. The bull run takes place on eight consecutive days during the festival.
Nearly half of the people who took part in the bull runs this year came from outside Spain, mostly from Australia, Britain and the United States.
The Local reports 15 participants have been killed since 1911, the first year records on the bull runs were kept. The last death happened when a man was gored by a bull five years ago.

Bluebeard is a French folktale written in 1697, that tells the tale of a violent nobleman in the habit of murdering his wives (of which he had several) and the attempts of his final wife to avoid the fate of her predecessors. In this fable, Bluebeard, was a very wealth aristocrat, feared because of his frightfully ugly, stubborn, sore-eye blue gritty beard. Everyone avoided him. They were simply terrified.
Millions of men all over the world share this common problem – Ha! Not because pretty girls are running a mile, but because they suffer from tough, ugly stubble, that defies the attention of every shaving cream or foam known to man.
If you didn't know, and if you possessed (by the grace of Zeus) fair fine facial hair, these men are known as "Blue-Beards". These testosterone filled men, with jawlines of sand paper stubble, have suffered for eternity due to their masculine beard growth. But wait! There's hope. They can now breathe a (manly) sigh of relief, as there is finally a shaving solution that works! The Ultimate Shave Experience has arrived! Mwhaaaaa!!!!!
Imagine your girlfriend not screwing her face up at you when you dive in for a spontaneous kiss. Imagine not leaving her with that gravel rash over her chin and lips. A redness so iridescent that it makes you wince. Have confident blokes! Know that in a matter of time (because you can't wax your bloomin' cheeks) this product will actually reduce the stubborn hair of your bluebeard. Brilliant!
Like most breakthrough products, Blue Beard was designed by a real-life Blue-Beard, who was desperate to find a solution in the shaving world where he could save his face from red dotted, irritated and angry skin. Concocted from the finest ingredients and manufactured in the UK – The Bluebeards Revenge™ is available now to make every alpha-male's life easier, featuring the secret ingredient, Decelerine™.
This miracle ingredient is exclusive to this product, and is scientifically proven to actually reduce the growth of hair over a period of time, so every time a man shaves with The Bluebeards Revenge™, he is actively delaying hair growth. Over a 60-day period, this can reduce the growth of stubble by up to 40%, meaning a man can get on with what he does best – manliness – without sporting a 5 o'clock shadow by lunchtime.
However, this luxurious shaving cream is more than just a miracle secret formula, and is a signature scent chosen by shaving enthusiasts, based on a fresh and classic English barbershop scent with a modern twist. The aroma and sumptuous thick lather makes shaving a genuine pleasure. And remember use a foaming brush to lather up our Revenge (served foamy) and really massage it into your face. Just like tha ol' barbers!
The Bluebeards Revenge™ is available exclusively at The Shaving Shack UK priced £14.99. A tub will last approximately 3-5 months. The Bluebeards Revenge™, which uses totally recyclable packaging, is suitable for vegetarians, and is Paraben Free. And most importantly, a donation from every tub goes directly to the UK's two most important charities supporting injured firefighters. Bluebeard finally grew a heart….

|Rabbit aorta converts 15-HPETE to trihydroxyeicosatrienoic acids: potential role of cytochrome P450.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 14622984 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Previous work showed that rabbit aorta metabolizes arachidonic acid via 15-lipoxygenase to 15-hydroperoxyeicosatetraenoic acid (15-HPETE), which undergoes an enzymatic rearrangement to 11-hydroxy-14,15-epoxyeicosatrienoic acid (11-H-14,15-EETA) and 15-hydroxy-11,12-epoxyeicosatrienoic acid (15-H-11,12-EETA). Hydrolysis of the epoxy group results in the formation of 11,14,15- and 11,12,15-trihydroxyeicosatrienoic acids (THETAs). Endothelial cells have several heme-containing enzymes including cytochromes P450 (CYP), nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), and prostacyclin (PGI(2)) synthase that catalyze the rearrangement of 15-HPETE to HEETAs. Incubation of arachidonic acid and 15-lipoxygenase, or 15-HPETE with rabbit aortic microsomes or rat liver microsomes, a rich source of CYP, resulted in the formation of a product that comigrated with THETAs and HEETAs on HPLC. Immunoblot analysis showed the presence of CYP2C8 and CYP2J2 in aortic tissue and when CYP2J2 or CYP2C8 was incubated with arachidonic acid and 15-lipoxygenase, the major products were 11,12,15- and 11,14,15-THETAs. Incubation of purified hematin, CYP2C11, eNOS or PGI(2) synthase enzymes with arachidonic acid and 15-lipoxygenase produced a different pattern of metabolites from rabbit aortic microsomes. Clotrimazole, a non-specific CYP inhibitor, and ebastine and terfenadone, specific CYP2J2 inhibitors, blocked the ability of aortic microsomes to produce THETAs while specific inhibitors of PGI(2) synthase, eNOS or CYP2C8/2C9 had no effect on THETA production. We suggest that a CYP, possibly CYP2J2, may function as the hydroperoxide isomerase converting 15-HPETE to HEETAs in rabbit vascular tissue. Further hydrolysis of the epoxy group of the HEETAs results in the formation of 11,12,15- and 11,14,15-THETAs. The HEETAs and THETAs are both vasodilators and may function as important regulators of vascular tone.

Matthew Shannon did not finish his studies his first time around at Penn State York.
On Friday, he graduated from the school with two degrees.
Shannon, 43, of York City, graduated with a bachelor of science in business, a bachelor of science in information sciences and technology, along with a minor in communication arts and sciences, according to the school.
"I took a lot of classes," he said with a laugh. "I enjoy studying. I had a lot of life experiences. I'm a member of two honor societies, so I guess I can say I'm smart."
Shannon also was selected as the class marshal for the information sciences and technology program as the highest-ranking student academically in the major. As a result, he was chosen to carry the discipline banner at the school's commencement.
Including Shannon, a total of 78 students graduated from Penn State York with master's, bachelor's and associate degrees. The graduation was held at Pullo Family Performing Arts Center on campus.
The school chose U.S. Rep. Todd Platts, R-York County, as its commencement speaker.
Challenges: Shannon's graduation comes just months after losing his father, Donald Shannon, in April to cancer. Shannon also continues to help care for his mother, Patricia Shannon of Red Lion, who has dealt with health issues.
Shannon said that while
he is happy for his graduation, he also is sad that his classes are done.
"(I was) under stress so long, the school became the stability of my life," he said. "I've always been very organized, but all that fell apart. I just had to use pure brute force. You just do what you have to do."
Shannon said he is thankful that his Penn State York professors pushed him to succeed.
Second time around: A graduate of Red Lion Area Senior High School, Shannon first came to Penn State York in 1987, but left before completing his studies.
Instead he started a computer consulting business in 1996. He also continues working in his father's outdoor advertising business, which he now runs. Shannon also was a waiter/bartender.
However, returning to Penn State York stayed on his mind, he said.
"I was riding past the school one day and said to myself, 'I should go back to school,'" Shannon said. "I planned to go part time, but when I got laid off, I decided to go full-time."
He returned to Penn State York as a student four years ago.
"When I was a student at Penn State York many years ago I really liked it and knew it was a good place to be, so there was no question about where I would go to school," he said.
During his time at Penn State York, Shannon became one of the first interns in the Graham Entrepreneurial Leadership Program in which students learn the practices of local companies while working on projects.
Shannon said he is an intern at Dentsply and will continue working on projects with the company.
"I really enjoyed the autonomy to work on my own and also to create something that was actually useful for the business," he said.
"I'm just going to see how things go from here. Every time I've made plans in my life, it never worked out. But I like how things are going now."

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. -- The preliminary hearing for a man charged with murder was delayed on Tuesday because a witness can't be located to serve her with a subpoena to show up to testify. The judge then issued a warrant for the arrest of the witness.
Robert Sondree, 35, (pictured) is charged with second-degree murder for the death of Bobby Newman, 48, in June. Investigators believe Sondree pushed Newman to the ground or hit him during an argument in a home on West Nichols Street near Kansas Expressway. A medical examiner said Newman died of blunt force.
Prosecutors want Amanda Knight to testify in the preliminary hearing about what she saw or heard when Newman was injured. They say she's hiding from a police subpoena server, and asked Associate Circuit Judge Mark Powell to issue a warrant for Knight's arrest, which Powell did. Prosecutors also asked for a delay in the preliminary hearing, which Powell granted over the objection of Sondree's defense attorney. The new date is Sept. 18 for the preliminary hearing, which is when a judge determines if a case has enough evidence for a trial.

UNCTAD Secretary-General Supachai Panitchpakdi told a special session of the Trade and Development Board (TDB) this morning that next month's UNCTAD XII conference comes "at a time when the world is in a period of uncertainty, with credible fears of recession." He urged national delegations to negotiate a strong text to guide UNCTAD XII and its outcome.
Mr. Supachai said it is hoped that the meeting can make valuable contributions to facing such challenges as lagging African development; difficulties in halving extreme poverty, as called for by the United Nations Millennium Development Goals; and rising oil prices, which "could offset any benefits that African developing countries are reaping from debt relief initiatives." Also important, Mr. Supachai said, are enhancing growing trade between developing countries ("South-South" trade); helping to achieve a positive conclusion to the long-running Doha Round of negotiations conducted by the World Trade Organization (WTO); and strengthening the work of UNCTAD.
The Ghanaian Ambassador to the United Nations Office at Geneva, Kwabena Baah Duodu, reviewed logistics for UNCTAD XII, scheduled for 20-25 April, and urged faster and more substantive progress in achieving a negotiated text, saying "trade and development are important for Africa, and indeed its own advancement."
"Ghana will be ready," he told the TDB, UNCTAD's governing body. Referring to the text, he said, "I hope the Geneva process will be ready as well."
Some 45 paragraphs of the draft text have been cleared, while about 230 remain to be agreed upon, Mr. Supachai told the TDB. He noted that progress has been "slow" and urged "flexibility and more flexibility" during ongoing drafting sessions so that a final version is ready in time for the April conference.
Representatives of regional groups called for similar urgency. The Group of 77 and China said "constructive flexibility" is needed, as "we still lack convergence on major issues." A spokesman for the Asian Group said developing countries are "extremely concerned with the slow pace of progress."
A representative of the United States, speaking on behalf of Australia, Israel, Japan, New Zealand, Norway, Switzerland, and Turkey, said member States should "keep focused on UNCTAD's role in promoting trade for development" and avoid producing an outcome document dealing with issues not directly related to the organization's mandate. "We may have lost sight of our real objectives," the representative said.
Following this morning's meeting, the special session of the TDB will reconvene Thursday afternoon, 20 March.
The Accra UNCTAD conference, the organization's 12th quadrennial meeting, will review trends in the field of trade and development and set the course of UNCTAD's work for the ensuing four years.

RENO, Nev. (AP) - Luke Babbitt scored a game-high 26 points as Nevada cruised past Montana State 75-61 in the season opener for both teams Saturday night.
Armon Johnson added 16 points for the Wolf Pack.
Erik Rush scored 13 points to lead Montana State.
Johnson scored all of his points in the first half and Babbitt added 13 as Nevada built a 50-31 halftime lead. The Wolf Pack made 7-of-11 3-pointers in the opening half.
Cody Anderson and Bryan Louff each had 10 points for Montana State.
The Bobcats played with just eight players because two starters (Marquis Navarre and Will Bynum) are ineligible for the first three games of the season after participating in an unsanctioned basketball event this summer.

© Copyright 2015 Albany Herald
ALBANY — One by one, the Albany Panthers are talking about hanging up their cleats.
But before they go, they want to hang another banner in the Albany Civic Center.
Quarterback Cecil Lester and wide receiver Antwone Savage headline a group of veterans who are leaning toward retirement after tonight's PIFL title game against the Richmond Raiders, and they plan on ending their football careers with one more championship.
"It's going to be hard to let it go, but this day must come for all football players," Lester said. "You always want to do it on a good note, and I think that's where we are right now."
The list of Panthers who have either decided to retire or are contemplating it sounds more like an All-Star roster: Lester, Savage, receiver Clenton Rafe, defensive lineman Tito Hannah, fullback Derrick Wimbush.
Lester, who will split time with backup QB Darnell Kennedy tonight, will play for the first time since reinjuring his MCL June 9 against Columbus. Lester spoke with confidence when talking about tonight's game against the Raiders, who split with the Panthers in the regular season and enter the championship on a league-best six-game winning streak.
But when he was asked about retirement, he froze.
He took a long breath and a longer blink, fighting back the thought of walking away from the game of football.
"I'm speechless right now when it comes to that situation, when it comes to that subject," he said. "There's not much I want to say because my mind is saying, 'Keep going,' but my body is saying, 'It's time to hang up the cleats.'"
The trio of Lester, Savage and Rafe has been the cornerstone of an organization that has risen to the top of each league it's been a member of. Savage, a Westover grad, and Rafe, a former Albany State star, were Lester's go-to receivers during the Panthers' run to a SIFL championship last season, and they have combined for 38 touchdowns this year to help Albany snag the league's No. 1 seed.
They are Albany's biggest weapons when they step on the field tonight against Richmond, but when they step off — win or lose — it will all be over.
And emotions will be overwhelming for both the players and their coach, Lucious Davis.
"I have built a relationship with these guys, all of them," Davis said. "It goes beyond football. All of these guys who are talking about hanging it up, I can call them anytime. They can call me anytime. We can talk about life, our problems. It's a really good relationship that I have with them."
Davis continued: "I've seen Savage get married, and I have seen him have his first kid. I have seen Rafe have his third kid. I have seen Cecil grow as a coach and as a person. Those relationships I will have for the rest of my life."
Davis has contemplated walking away after this season as well, but he told The Herald after practice on Wednesday that he is leaning toward returning to the team.
If he does return, it might be lonely without the players who helped build the franchise.
"That's the hard thing about calling it quits," Davis said. "When you develop those relationships, you don't want to be apart from those guys."
Lester, Savage, Rafe, Hannah and Wimbush have 27 years of arena league experience among them and have each had long — and sometimes bumpy — journeys along the way.
Those journeys come to an end tonight against the Raiders, who lost to the Panthers in the season opener, 40-28, but beat Albany in the season finale, 67-66. The Panthers haven't lost at home all season and have only lost two games in the Albany Civic Center since becoming a franchise three years ago, but Richmond's PIFL-best offense might give Albany its toughest challenge yet.
The Raiders average 60.2 point per game and only give up an average of 49.1 points per game, second only to the Panthers.
Richmond QB Antwon Young has thrown 55 touchdowns and just five interceptions and averages 219.7 yards per game, second to Columbus' Randy Hippeard.
Davis said that the key to stopping the Raiders is shutting down Young.
"If we can contain him, tackle him and lessen the big plays he makes then we will be fine," Davis said. "But he is tough. He brings a lot to the table that we don't see on a consistent basis."
The Raiders can light up the scoreboard, but so can the Panthers, who scored a season-high 66 points June 16 against Richmond.
"We have to put up some points ourselves," Lester said. "We need to make sure we don't turn the ball over, make sure we capitalize on their mistakes and make sure the defense gets off the field on third and fourth downs."
Lester and the rest of the Panthers are ready to go out on top, and they are ready to do so with a smile.
"The key to it all is to have fun," Lester said. "I think that is something we are going to focus on. We haven't had a lot of games this season where we have had a lot of fun. I think this journey that we are on is different than we are used to, so we didn't have a lot of fun. We are going to try to get back to having fun (tonight)."

Hornell's Railroad Start
Known as the "Maple City" for its many maple trees, Hornell is a situated in the Canisteo Valley in the western part of Steuben County. It is a small farming town with a rich history in railway transportation, as well. The Erie Railroad arrived to Hornell in the mid-1800s, bringing with it an opportunity for prosperity. The railroad transformed the quiet town into a lively city.
By the 1970s, railroads were growing more and more obsolete, and Hornell was faced with tough times. Many of the railroad's talented workers still live in the city despite the disappearance of the railroad business.
The Erie Depot Museum tells the story of Hornell's railroad-based history. The museum holds more than 700 interesting artifacts.
Today in Hornell
Hornell today has a great mix of rural warmth and a bustling business community, accented with an array of arts and fun festivals. Whether you're interested in the history of the area, fantastic examples of historic architecture, finding that perfect antique for your house, or the many events and museums in the area, Hornell is a rural community with a lot to offer.
Alfred University houses the Schein-Joseph International Museum of Ceramic Art, within which you can find nearly 8,000 pieces of glass and ceramics. As a teaching and research facility, it is a place where students and scholars alike come for inspiration and understanding of techniques both past and present.
The Canisteo Living Sign
Located near Hornell is the Canisteo Living Sign, which was was created with 260 Scotch pine trees. The trees were planted to spell out the letters of the town's name. The sign measures 300 feet by 90 feet and has been used as a visual flight reference by pilots since its creation.
You can enjoy the Canisteo Living Sign by car, by plane or by foot. Park by the elementary school on Greenwood Street to view the sign clearly from your car. If you'd like to get a closer look at the towering evergreens, you can hike up close to detect the fragrant trees.
