Wagnon said there was no nearby shelter for him to find cover. "It was very chaotic, everyone was very afraid, there is a shelter here near the football field but we were very far. I was kind of in the open when it happened."

Hometown Heroes: The Dirty Dozen
How a group of former sorority sisters found peace, purpose, and carpentry skills in New Orleans.
At the week's end, the women exchanged their mud-splattered clothes for clean outfits and made their annual pilgrimage to meet with the family who live in the first house they had helped build: Kewanda Baxter, 35, and her three children, who had lost their home in the hurricane but who had, with amazing grace and strength, endured. Every year since Katrina, there has been a festive get-together with 20-year-old Dominique, 17-year-old Jeremy, 13-year-old Rodney, and their mother. Surrounded by his 12 guardian angels in a local restaurant that night, Rodney beamed. "It feels like my birthday," he said.
Who are these women? They are middle-class mothers, wives, career women, and sorority sisters, now sixty-somethings who happened to see a photo and bio of the Baxters tacked to a board in a yard during their first stint with Habitat in 2006. "I was a single mom for ten years," says Carolyn Brown Cox, a social worker and an actress in Seattle, remembering her emotional reaction. "I just felt like a kindred spirit to this woman. I know what it's like to go to the grocery store and tell your kids that you can't afford soda or candy."
The family coordinator at Habitat arranged for Cox to speak with Kewanda Baxter, who didn't quite know what to think. "I was kind of shocked. I told her, 'You don't have to send me any money, but my kids aren't doing too well in school. It would help to have a computer.' And then I just thought, If it happens, it happens."
Baxter was stunned when a new PC was delivered. Then the women arranged tutoring to help with the children's schooling, which had been disrupted in the aftermath of the storm. That was followed by the uniforms required by the kids' new charter school. "Kewanda only asked for two sets of clothing for the kids," says Cox. "She gets every drop out of every nickel." But even more important than the financial aid was, and is, the emotional support.
Thanks! You're on our list.

Heart Attack or Heartburn? Lifesaving Ways to Tell the Difference
A few years back, my father called, complaining of chest pain. I drove over, picked him up, and high-tailed it over to the nearest emergency room. A couple hours and many tests later, the doctor handed down his diagnosis: Heartburn. Dad felt foolish, but I'm glad we played it safe. And here's another benefit—we've both become experts on the difference between heartburn and a heart attack. Here's what we know:

Career Services:
My professors have been very helpful with me after I graduated
Tuition & Financial Aid:
The financial aid office was fantastic. The only challenge I faced is that my undergraduate fasfa ran out at the end of my second to last semester. This had nothing to do with the school, but I am still paying the outstanding balance and they won't allow release of my transcript until it's paid in full. Still, the school let me graduate with my class for which I was grateful
Student Body:
I loved my classmates. The class was entirely caucasian, and out of 21 students, 5 were male. We all got along wonderfully from day one
Campus Resources:
Most of what we needed was right in our own building. The parking situation was a pain because nursing students also attended the school, and received all the off street parking. The radiology students were left to park on the street, and during the winter this was especially challenging. There was a small lounge, a library, and a study area which was adequate. The school could really use on-site ATM. There was not a gym or athletic center
Online Courses:
As and elective, I took a patient care online course during the summer. Many of the classes that we physically had an online component, but this patient care course was almost exclusively online. The best part of this course was the fact that it was online. As full time students, we were in class Monday and Wednesdays for about 10 hours a day, then we attended clinicals rotations for 8 hours on the other days. Not having to travel to school or clinicals for a class was a bonus. The interaction, communication, etc was all top notch
Academic Experience:
The workload is heavy, as the program is accelerated, so its certainly not easy. In addition to knowning patient care protocols, a radiology student has to be proficient in human anatomy, position techniques, technical factors affecting x-rays, and technical knowledge of the equipment. Also, CPR and BLS, and medical terminology are required. Most of the class has attained a career in the Radiology field.
Academic Experience:
Students have a set progression through the program, so most of classes are selected for the student the moment they pass the current semester. There were some elective courses available to students, for which is was very easy to enroll in. All classes were held at one campus. Students had the freedom to request special study sessions for difficult topics as needed. The professors were outstanding in every way
Academic Flexibility:
This was an accelerated program, so the course load was a clear 60 hour per week committment. The academic part of the program could not have been better. The clinical part, as I mention previously, had some down falls. Not only was there a "Good old boys" click atmosphere, but there wasn't a broad understanding of student expectations and requirements from technologist to technologist
Overall Experience:
The faculty was extremely helpful, understanding, and invested in each students success. The radiology program was intense, and we were pushed to do our best, but we knew our instructors had our backs. The only downside to any of this had to do with the outside-clinical portion at local hospitals. The light rooms were very "clicky" and there was drama involved that students really need no part of
Overall Experience:
The professors were excellent both in delivery and with help us achieve our goals. The classes were 20 students maximum, which was perfect, and the content was very interesting
Student Body:
i think there could be more mix
Academic Experience:
I appreciate that everyone is there just for xray.

Article: Intermedin A Novel Regulator for Vascular Remodeling and Tumor Vessel Normalization by Regulating Vascular Endothelial-Cadherin and Extracellular Signal-Regulated Kinase[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Intermedin (IMD), a member of calcitonin family, was suggested to play a role in angiogenesis and cancer. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of IMD in the angiogenic process and the underlying mechanism, and the possibility for it to be used as a target for angiogenesis-based anticancer therapies. Using in vivo and in vitro 3-dimensional angiogenic models, we found that IMD induced a well-ordered vasculature with hierarchical structure and had a synergistic effect with vascular endothelial growth factor. Using RNA interference, real-time polymerase chain reaction, and Western blot analysis, we found that IMD alleviated the undesirable effects of vascular endothelial growth factor by restricting the excessive vessel sprouting and uneven lumen formation through the regulation of vascular endothelial-cadherin and identified its receptor on the endothelial cells. Both mitogen-activated protein kinase/extracellular signal-regulated kinase and phosphoinositide 3-kinase/Akt activation were involved in the effects. Furthermore, using experimental tumor models, we demonstrated that IMD was involved in tumor angiogenesis, and the blockade of IMD severely impaired blood supply and eventually inhibited tumor growth. We demonstrated that IMD played a critical role in the vascular remodeling process and tumor angiogenesis and may serve as a novel target for the development of angiogenesis-based anticancer therapies.
Article: Zhang, W, Ke, W, Wu, SS Gan, L, Zhou, R Sun, CY et al. An adenovirus-delivered peptide aptamer C1-1 targeting the core protein of hepatitis B virus inhibits viral DNA replication and production in vitro and in vivo. Peptides 30, 1816-1821[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Peptide aptamers are molecules which can specifically bind to a given target protein and have the potential to selectively block the function of the target protein. It has been reported that a peptide aptamer (C1-1) identified from a randomized expression library specifically bound to the core protein of hepatitis B virus and inhibited viral capsid formation and DNA replication in vitro. Adenoviral systems are popular platforms for reliable gene delivery and high-level transient expression in any mammalian cell type in vitro, and have a natural tropism for the liver after systemic administration. In the present study, we explored the feasibility of gene therapy against HBV infection with adenoviral system, and found that systematic administration of recombinant adenovirus encoding the peptide aptamer (C1-1) significantly inhibited viral capsid formation, HBV DNA replication and virion production in vivo. These results suggest an efficient antiviral treatment against HBV infection by delivery of anti-HBV peptide aptamer with recombinant adenovirus.

The Story of Zee The Czech Fly Fisherman
door Jim "Wildman" Wilkins
Watching Zee...the Story of Zee the Czech Fly Fisherman is a book about an extraordinary individual who fished better then 99% of fly fishermen on the Eastern Sierra. Zee caught fish...lots of fish and lots of very big fish.
Tbe book is filled with pictures and anecdotes about Zee and his humor...his willingness to help others and his remarkable fishing ability.
There were those who whispered around campfires that fish rose to eat Zee's spit or that he had magical abilities to attract fish to his rod.
The truth is....Zee was simply an outstanding fisherman and a wonderful friend. This is his story.

Ok, so not only have I suddenly noticed my new ginormous thighs (see post below! LOL)-- I am also noticing that I get this twinge of numbness on/under my ribs every now and then... what's it from?!
Numbness at ribs?? Why?
I'm not sure what it's from, but I've had rib pain/numbness for about 10 weeks. When I mentioned it at an appt, I was told it's just a normal pain of pregnancy and not to worry unless it gets worse.
Unfortunately, it makes sleeping very difficult! LOL
Good luck to you!

I've had it for months. I called it buzzing and my doctor acted as if I was crazy. I should have said numbness. Relieved to hear that others have it.
I had that when i was pregnant with my first son and it drove me crazy!!! I would go numb right below my boobs and also i would get numb spots on my back too! Kinda tingly... It's just the baby sitting on some sort of nerve. I'm not looking forward to that this time around, fortunately i haven't had it happen yet! I have had the baby move onto some nerve and my leg about gave out, though!

 A customer of mine is trying to place a nice large order and cannot proceed to the Billing screen.

 Has anyone heard of any new customers having a similar problem?

Nebraska Storms Close Omaha Airport Twice, Damage Planes
Posted Aug 19th 2011 08:45 AM
The first storms rolled through at 5:30 p.m. Tursday, forcing the temporary closure of the airport for an hour and a half. Thirty minutes after it was reopened, the second storm forced it to close again, reports CNN.
Winds of up to 100 mph were reported, as were hailstones of 2.75 inches in diameter.
The storms did damage to seven aircraft belonging to American, United, Delta, Southwest, USAir and Frontier. A jetway was blown into an aircraft, the south concourse sustained water damage and cars in the parking lot were shattered by hail.
The only human casualty was a pilot who was taken to the hospital after being stuck in the head with a large hailstone. No word on his status, but he was conscious when brought to the hospital.
In April, a tornado damaged and forced the closure of Lambert Field in St. Louis. Passengers inside the terminal filmed the tornado hitting the airport.

#BREAKING144 ' Polish Ministers resign over Taping Scandal '
#AceBreakingNews – POLAND:June.10: Polish parliament speaker, 3 ministers resign over taping scandal
Three Polish ministers and the parliament speaker submitted their resignations in connection with a taping scandal, Poland's Prime Minister Ewa Kopacz announced on Wednesday. Secret recordings of government ministers' conversations were leaked this week.
The PM announced that the three ministers who decided to quit their positions are the health, treasury and sports ministers.
Several other politicians, including the Speaker of the Parliament, Radoslaw Sikorski, as well as a chief adviser to the Prime Minister and a special services coordinator, also resigned.
Prime Minister Kopacz also indicated that she would fire Prosecutor General Andrzej Seremet, AP reported. The investigation with the ministers involved was led by Seremet, and Kopacz said it was slow-going.
She also mentioned she did not accept the prosecutor's report on why the classified files from the probe had been leaked to the public.

#AceNewsServices – October 19 – Nazi Inspired Beauty Pageant being dubbed "Miss Hitler 2014" is calling for attractive women to participate in the contest held on the Russian equivalent to Facebook.
Participants are requested to submit Nazi-themed "selfies" to the competition organized by a neo-Nazi group on VKontakte – Russia's largest social networking service – along with a caption describing why they "love and revere the Third Reich of Adolf Hitler," the UK-basedDaily Mail reported.
At least 14 females from Russian and Eastern Europe have entered the contest that celebrates the glorification of Nazi Germany and the fascist totalitarian government ruled by Adolf Hitler that was responsible for the Holocaust and the genocide of nearly six million Jews.
The winner of the contest is determined by the highest number of "likes" from members of a page on VKontakte that claims more than 7,000 Hitler-revering followers.
Jewelry adorned with Nazi symbolism is offered as the prize for the contest, officially-titled "Miss Ostland 2014," named in reference to the Nazi-occupied portion of north-eastern Europe where more than a million Jews were killed.
The Internet media site Vocative republished a selfie allegedly submitted by Belorussian contestant Katya Shkredova donning a Nazi hat, and citing her "adoration" of Hitler because he was willing to "experiment on people."
' NSA Monitor's Students in School on Social Media '
#AceNewsServices – ALABAMA – September 28 – A secret surveillance program has been running in an Alabama high schools after a phone call from the National Security Agency alerted the district to a 'violent threat'.
School officials claim the system began monitoring students' social media accounts in Huntsville City Schools 18 months ago, when the NSA tipped them off that a student was making violent threats on Facebook.
The schools began scanning Facebook and other sites for signs of gang activity, watching for photos of guns, photos of gang signs and threats of violence, as part of a program called SAFe, or Students Against Fear.
Internal documents explaining the program were obtained by AL.com, showing four different students – three males and one female – posing on Facebook with handguns.
None are on school grounds. Some of the students were already in alternative programs for skipping or drinking. Three are listed as expelled and one was referred for counseling.
Huntsville schools Superintendent Casey Wardynski told the news site that there was a 'foreign connection', which was why the NSA – a U.S. agency responsible for foreign intelligence – became involved.
He said the student in Huntsville had made the threats while chatting on-line with a group that included an individual in Yemen.
Mr Wardynski, a former U.S. Army colonel appointed as superintendent in Huntsville in 2011, said that about a year and a half ago the NSA called Huntsville and reported a high school student had made a threat on Facebook to injure a teacher.
Al Lankford, the city's school security officer, told AL.com that he took the NSA phone call and that security officers went to the high school and eventually searched the boy's car.
' Social Media War Machine Has Part to Play in Winning Hearts and Minds '
#AceWorldNews – GAZA CITY – July 26 – As part of Israel's PR efforts during operation Cast Lead (2009), the IDF has established a Youtube channel to tell Israel's side. As seen on Arutz Sheva. and supplied by israelnationalnews.com at the time it purported to have 7,000 followers and today as the screenshot shows it is down to 1,981.
Five years later, the involvement of the army in the documentation and dissemination of propaganda has increased, through YouTube videos and official accounts on Facebook and Twitter, which show a constant flow of messages.
Today's media strategy includes dozens of infographics and visualizations that attempt to depict Israel's rationale in a graphic and simple manner similar to that employed by the award-winning Visualizing Palestine project, which focused on visualizing the effects of occupation for Palestinians in Gaza.
One of the most viral visualizations shows how a house in Gaza becomes a target. "When is a house a home and when does it become a military target?", the image reads, in response to accusations that Israel indiscriminately bombs houses in Gaza.
Another one compares "what Israel does to protect civilians" vs. "what Hamas does to endanger its civilians."
An online struggle for "hearts and minds"
Israeli military operations are always accompanied by robust media reports that seem intended to mitigate their impact on international public opinion. From the sensorial "Cast Lead" in 2009 to the self-explanatory "Protective Edge" in 2014, several fronts of "hasbara" (pro-Israeli propaganda, in Hebrew) have been developed to show the world Israel's rationale.
In 2008, just before attacks on Gaza began, the Israeli administration decided to replace traditional press conferences of war time with a wide array of initiatives based on social media. Guidelines for the campaign were developed by former army officer Yarden Vatikai, in coordination with the Ministry of Defense and the Jewish Agency.
One of the initiatives consisted of teaching new media workshops to army officers in the Herzliya Interdisciplinary Center.
"In terms of communicating our message, the future is in new media", Defense Forces spokesman Avi Benayahu said in February 2009. "The IDF has moved online to win hearts and minds."

' Malaysian Airliner Reportedly Hit By Suspect Missile in Ukraine Near Russian Border '
Malaysian#AceWorldNews – UKRAINE – July 17 – A Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 with 295 people aboard was reportedly hit by a missile and crashed Thursday in Ukraine near the Russian border, according to an adviser to Ukraine's interior ministry.
Anton Gerashenko, the adviser, says on his Facebook page the plane was flying at an altitude of 33,000 feet when it was hit Thursday by a missile fired from a Buk launcher, the Associated Press reports.
A similar launcher was seen by AP journalists near the eastern Ukrainian town of Snizhne earlier Thursday.
It was no immediately clear who would have been in control of such a launcher in the restive area where Ukrainian forces are battling ethnic Russian separatists.
Malaysia Airlines said on Twitter that it "has lost contact of MH17 from Amsterdam. The last known position was over Ukrainian airspace."
Russia's Interfax news agency, quoting an unidentified aviation source, said Malaysia Airlines flies an Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur route that crosses Ukraine and Russian territory.

Global warming is indisputably occurring, the only question now is whether it's man-made. The IPCC (international panel for climate change; CC think-tank, includes hundred of environmental experts from around the world) publish a detailed report every 4 years on the state of climate chnage. They conclude in the 2007 report that CC is 90% certain to be caused by man.

Bush Makes Historic Call to Cut A-Arms as the Clouds of the Cold War Recede, the US Proposes Folding Much of Its Nuclear Umbrella
Peter Grier, writer of The Christian Science Monitor, The Christian Science Monitor
THE arms control changes President Bush laid out last week represent some of the most profound alterations in United States nuclear-weapons policy since atomic warheads were first bolted to the top of ballistic missiles.
Yet with some of the moves the White House is seizing the opportunity to take credit for the unavoidable. Take Mr. Bush's pledge to bring battlefield nuclear arms back to US depots: The rationale for keeping these short-range weapons in Europe has collapsed along with the Soviet threat, and political and budget pressures have already been building for their removal.
In Washington, Bush's sudden proposals were also widely seen as an attempt to preempt any wider debate about cutting nuclear forces and as a means to promote the Pentagon's endangered B-2 bomber and the controversial Strategic Defense Initiative (SDI).
"The administration is trying to get out ahead of everyone on what has been a dramatic change in peoples' perceptions of our past adversary," says Stan Norris, a nuclear expert at the Natural Resources Defense Council. "I give them high marks here. They are seizing an opportune moment to do things which have long been proposed."
The president called on the Soviet Union to match the boldness of his moves, and the initial response seemed positive. Soviet President Gorbachev on Saturday praised Bush and said he would reciprocate "warhead for warhead." But as of this writing no detailed Soviet response had been released (see story, Page 3).
One of the most sweeping points of President Bush's new nuclear plan was his announcement that the US would unilaterally withdraw and destroy all land-based short-range tactical nuclear weapons based in Europe and South Korea.
Bush said he would similarly order withdrawal of all tactical nuclear weapons from Navy ships and submarines - including some 350 modern Tomahawk nuclear-tipped cruise missiles.
Tactical nuclear weapons have been an integral part of US military contingency plans since the dawn of the atomic age. But the increasing accuracy and lethality of conventional bombs and shells has made this weapon class somewhat obsolete, and the withdrawal of Soviet forces from Eastern Europe has eliminated the massed echelons of armored units that would have been their primary targets.
Still, the president was careful to emphasize that the US would retain tactical nuclear bombs carried on aircraft. A halt to the mobile MX
On the crown jewels of the nuclear arsenal, long-range strategic weapons, Bush said the US would halt development of a rail-mobile version of the 10-warhead MX missile. …

My Father's Notebook (2000)
by Kader Abdolah
No current Talk conversations about this book.
This was a lovely, moving, very well-written story. The writing style is simple but very powerful. The sense of being right there, in Iran or in the Netherlands, is really strong.
Superb novel in superb Dutch by someone who escaped from Iran long time ago. I have a copy signed by Kader Abdolah himself. He used to live in my hometown.
I absolutely loved this book
I love this book. I read it on a rainy sunday on my coach in the Netherlands, but Kader Abdollah made me feel like I was in Iran.
Story about a deaf mute and his son. Also about Persia, old and new. Slow paced. Disjointed narrative flow which I found distracting. The notebook of the title is actually the son's memories of his father. Ultimately affecting tribute.
Abdolah writes in staccato sentences using a simple vocabulary, and the narration is often heavy-handed. The use of tapestry as a structuring metaphor is too familiar a convention for Abdolah to make it fresh. But he doesn't need to: the reader is skilfully wrapped up in the fabric of semi-autobiographical stories. My Father's Notebook reads like a detective story: information is withheld so that we gradually discover the background to Ishmael's exile.
Like Orhan Pamuk's Snow, the novel portrays the sense of rootlessness in the secular west and the religious oppression of Islamic countries. But unlike Pamuk's unrelentingly dark brooding, Abdolah leaves pockets of cheerfulness, such as a hilarious anecdote about Ishmael dressed up and dancing like a Parisian schoolboy, mocking the westernising shah.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0060598727, Paperback)
When he was a boy, Aga Akbar, the deaf-mute illegitimate son of a Persian nobleman, traveled with his uncle to a cave on nearby Saffron Mountain. Once there, he was to copy a three-thousand-year-old cuneiform inscription—an order of the first king of Persia—as a means of freeing himself from his emotional confinement. For the remainder of his life, Aga Akbar used these cuneiform characters to fill a notebook with writings only he could understand. Years later, his son, Ishmael—a political dissident in exile—is attempting to translate the notebook . . . and in the process tells his father's story, his own, and the story of twentieth-century Iran.
A stunning and ambitious novel by a singular literary talent, My Father's Notebook is at once a masterful chronicle of a culture's troubled voyage into modernity and the poignant, timeless tale of a son's enduring love.
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:06:32 -0400)
"Exiled in Europe, and separated from all he loves most, rebel Ishmael confronts his family's biggest mystery - who was the man who was his father? The only clue is the strange notebook his father, Aga Akbar, left behind - a book written in his own private script." "As Ishmael struggles to decipher his father's story, a tale worthy of Scheherezade emerges. It tells of a carpet-weaver from the depths of rural Persia; a deaf mute who leaves his beloved home to try and give his family a better life in modern Tehran; a man passionately devoted to his children, who is eventually brought down by their dangerous politics."--BOOK JACKET.… (more)

Bushfire - Great Divide Complex, Victoria 2006
Quick Statistics
Victoria experienced a very adverse fire season during 2006 - 2007. Lightning ignited a number of fires on 1 December 2006 and some later merged to form what is known as the 'Great Divide Complex' fires in eastern Victoria. The area burnt mostly public land and was estimated to be in the vicinity of 1.2 and 1.3 million hectares by the end of the season. On 7 February 2007, The Great Divide fires were finally contained after 69 days. There were also a number of other fires (Tawonga Gap burned 33,500 hectares and Tatong burned 33,000). Despite the severity of the fire season, housing and private asset losses were remarkably low. In total, 51 dwellings of which 21 were classified as primary residences were destroyed and hundreds of stock and farm fencing were lost in the fires. One man died in a vehicle accident while assisting a property owner to prepare for fire impact.
Thousands of community volunteers and career emergency service personnel across state, regional and community levels worked in partnership to ensure the fires were eventually brought under control. A further component to the response was the support and assistance from New Zealand, United States, Canadian and interstate colleagues.
By 7 February, more than 1400 firefighters had been injured in the fire fighting effort (including bruises, cuts, blisters, burns, dehydration, broken limbs and spider bites). More than 400 St John Ambulance volunteers, including doctors, nurses and first aid officers provided medical assistance. On 16 December, 11 New Zealand firefighters were injured while fighting the fire in the Howqua Valley in north-east Victoria.
On 16 January 2007 power lines were cut which severely disrupted Melbourne electricity supplies. On the same day, a fire threatened to close Tullamarine Airport. The Department of Sustainability and Environment (DSE) worked with Melbourne Water to keep the fires out of the water catchments.
A significant number of people were evacuated during the fires. Relief centres were established to accommodate evacuees. Some mountain tourist complexes were evacuated due to fires including Mount Buller and Thredbo Village in New South Wales, the latter due to a fire that started from a lightning strike at Hermit Mountain and crossed the border.
Victoria experienced widespread effects from the fires. Numerous schools in the high country and some parts of Gippsland were forced to close due to the fire threat and outside play at school was banned in some instances due to smoke haze. The smoke haze reportedly caused some respiratory symptoms and aggravated conditions such as asthma. Haze also ffected traffic and delayed flights in and out of Melbourne airport. On 20 December, the Environment Protection Authority recorded its worst bushfire smoke since records began, with visibility reduced to two km in Melbourne's central business district.
During the fire season, the Country Fire Authority, Department of Sustainability and Environment and Parks Victoria received operational assistance from other states and a significant international contingent:
- ACT - 37 personnel
- NSW - 1050 personnel
- NT - 108 personnel
- SA - 10 personnel
- Qld - 14 personnel
- WA - 20 personnel
- Canada - 52 personnel
- New Zealand - 115 personnel
- USA - 114 personnel
The Victorian and Federal Government provided financial assistance to aid personal, physical and economic recovery from the fire disaster.
The Insurance Council of Australia did not report any cost for this particular fire.

I worked on Grails ( 2.1.0 ) project and after it's completion found out that Tomcat runs out of memory. After not very sophisticated investigation I found that following lines of code causing memory leak:
def servletContext = ServletContextHolder.servletContext
def config = new ConfigSlurper().parse(servletContext.getResource('/WEB-INF/config.groovy').text)
Once I remove those 2 lines from my code execution, project runs on tomcat with stable memory usage. However if I bring those 2 lines back, memory usage slowly increasing.
I don't understand why those 2 lines causing memory leak? What is so magical about them? How do I fix it? I need to access resources in the WEB-INF folder.
Thank you.

Sonnet 2
by William Shakespeare
Symbol Analysis
When you see people who are really good looking, do you think of them as actually owning something worth having? A pretty face isn't like money in the bank, but it is a precious possession that people work very hard to keep.
- Line 6: In this poem, treasure is one more in a series of important metaphors for beauty. Shakespeare calls the young man's beauty "the treasure of thy lusty days," and from that point on he comes back to the idea of beauty being like money, something you can save, add up, and pass on.

Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, May Miss $3.3 Million Payment
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania's capital, may miss $3.3 million in general-obligation bond payments due Sept. 15 if council members fail to approve a portion of a fiscal rescue plan, according to the mayor's spokesman.
The city faces a $5 million deficit and is trying to arrange for a $7.5 million advance on a lease of municipal land to the Harrisburg Parking Authority. Harrisburg entered the state's Act 47 fiscal-rescue program in December.
"If the Parking Authority lease doesn't go through, the city will not be able to make that payment," Robert Philbin, a spokesman for Mayor Linda Thompson, said by telephone from Harrisburg today.
Ambac Assurance, a unit of Ambac Financial Group Inc., which filed for bankruptcy protection in November, insures the debt. Michael Fitzgerald, a spokesman for New York-based Ambac, declined to comment.
Last year, a Harrisburg default on its general-obligation bonds was averted after former Governor Ed Rendell, a Democrat, expedited state funds to make the payments.
"It is important that all parties continue to work with the city and the mayor to implement a fiscal recovery plan in a timely manner that puts Harrisburg back on the path to financial solvency," Steven Kratz, a spokesman for the state's Department of Community and Economic Development, which runs the distressed-cities program, said by e-mail.
He said he was speaking for the administration of Republican Governor Tom Corbett, who took office in January.
Incinerator Debt
Harrisburg's crisis stems from its guarantee of debt for the overhaul and expansion of an incinerator. The community of 49,500, where about one-third of residents live below the poverty level, is also dealing with declining tax revenue.
Thompson plans to ask the City Council on Aug. 31 to approve her recovery plan. It calls for asset sales and a potential commuter tax to retire the debt burden, which is five times Harrisburg's general-fund budget. Her proposal follows most recommendations made by state-appointed consultants and rejected by the council on July 19, a first for Pennsylvania's 24-year-old distressed-city program.
Thompson previously said she would honor debt service before employees' payroll if her plan wasn't passed. Philbin attributed the reversal to the council not yet approving the Parking Authority lease.
As of today, her administration hadn't sent legislation on the lease to the council to vote on, according to Kirk Petroski, acting city clerk.
Bankruptcy Ban
While Harrisburg in 2009 started skipping payments on debt related to the incinerator, it hasn't defaulted on general-obligation bonds. Since then, divisions between the mayor and council have hindered the city's ability to find a solution.
The capital is barred from seeking bankruptcy protection before July, according to a Pennsylvania law that said the city would lose state funds if it tried.
Rejection of Thompson's plan by the council also risks $3 million in state aid.
Court hearings are scheduled next month in lawsuits seeking to force the city to turn over revenue to creditors and appoint a receiver for the incinerator. Harrisburg needs $310 million to make bond payments, restructure debt and repay Dauphin County and insurer Assured Guaranty Municipal Corp., which made payments the city skipped on the waste-to-energy facility.
If Thompson fails to get council members to approve her plan, Pennsylvania "may make them dangle" and not prevent the general-obligation bond default, said Alan Schankel, director of fixed-income research at the Philadelphia financial-services firm Janney Montgomery Scott LLC.
'Other Cudgel'
"If you have a City Council or the leadership as a whole that can't get their act together, I don't know what other cudgel the state has," he said in a telephone interview.
A default by Harrisburg might increase borrowing costs for the state and its municipalities, Schankel said. Local governments in Alabama are facing higher interest rates because of the possible bankruptcy of Jefferson County.
"It would send a tough signal about Pennsylvania issuers, so they would have to think hard about" letting Harrisburg default, Schankel said of state officials.
Kratz declined to comment on the potential effect of a default on borrowing costs.

Double Talk; Weis Juggling Patriots, Irish
Byline: Jody Foldesy, THE WASHINGTON TIMES
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - His hair still damp from a quick post-practice shower, New England Patriots offensive coordinator Charlie Weis hustled to a table ringed with waiting reporters and huffed out an apology.
"Fifteen so far," Weis said. "That was the first thing I had to take care of. Sorry I'm running a little late."
Fifteen was the number of signings Weis just had collected in his other job, a side gig known as coaching Notre Dame. With college football's national signing day and Super Bowl preparations coinciding yesterday, Weis darted from one press conference to the next, first discussing high school seniors with Fighting Irish beat reporters and then discussing, well, high school seniors with the assembled media masses for Super Bowl XXXIX."Can we talk something about the Super Bowl?" Weis griped after a good dozen queries about Notre Dame. "Can we talk something about the Eagles here?"
In three more days, Weis finally will finish straddling two of football's most high-profile posts. After 71/2 weeks of burning the candle at both ends, the offensive architect of an ostensible NFL dynasty will shift his focus once and for all to rebuilding one of college football's most tradition-laden programs.
Weis' workload hasn't been envious since he accepted the Irish job Dec.12. Logging more hours than a campaign staffer in late October, he has shuttled back and forth from South Bend, Ind., to Foxborough, Mass., orchestrating recruiting strategies and plotting Patriots offensive schemes late into the night.
Amazingly, if the Patriots beat the Philadelphia Eagles this weekend and his modestly rated recruiting haul pans out, he will have pulled off this bold balancing act.
"Hopefully, things go well for us on Sunday," Patriots assistant head coach Dante Scarnecchia said. "I think it'll be the culmination of everything he's wanted out of this deal."
"An incredible job" is how Scarnecchia described Weis' performance in recent weeks. And it's tough to argue with the Patriots' side of the equation: Since a Dec.20 clunker against the lowly Miami Dolphins, Weis' offense has averaged 356 yards and helped propel New England to the brink of a third title in four years.
"He's still putting us in situations," wide receiver David Patten said. "He's still coming up with great game plans. He's focusing on the here and now. He wants to go out with a bang."
But how will Notre Dame boosters remember this stretch? …

That's all I got. I hadn't realized how much I missed living and dying with ISU basketball until the middle of last season, and this season has been a lot of fun so far.
You can spend a lot of time and money picking out the perfect floral bouquet for your date ... but you're probably better off checking if you have bad breath and taking the porn out of the glove compartment.
The moral: you gain more by not being stupid, than you do by being smart. Smart gets neutralized by other smart people. Stupid does not.

Yeah, for a few years before that it was just dying.

Michael Nurse, Kantrail Horton, Stevie Johnson. Paul Shirley.
It felt great knowing that we were good enough to play with anyone, and watching that team hang in there and win road games in the Big 12 conference. It was beautiful watching Fizer abuse the other big men in the league, and watching our shooters launch threes from anywhere in the half court. ****, they'd throw up thirty-footers and swish the hell out of them. That team was confident, it was arrogant, and it should have won a national championship. That game in Auburn Hills was ********.
I thought we had arrived. I thought we were going to take a perennial spot in the league as one of the contenders every year.
The next year happened, and it was even greater. A two seed?? Wow!! And even after the Hampton loss, I thought, meh. Bad luck. One game. We're still on top. But then Coed-gate happened. And transfer-gate.
Here we were three years ago, and things sucked. I'm so grateful that Freddie came back and has given us this gift. We know we have the talent and the coaching to play with any team in the land. If enough breaks go our way, we're good enough to win six games in March. **** on people who start these meltdown threads after losses. You ******* idiots must be about ten years old to throw a tantrum after these games. Don't you understand we had a chance to win these games at the end? Four years ago, we were getting blown out every. single. game. You want to complain about this team? **** YOU!

Can't agree more. I love having the feeling that we can win every game. We have the talent and the coach to do it. A few years ago I wouldn't even watch games versus Kansas, Texas, Oklahoma, etc. because I knew there was absolutely no way we were going to win. We had absolutely no chance. Now, it can be done.
Yeah, I want to complain about this team. I saw a couple of them on campus with sweatpants on.

There is only one downside, I spend so much time these days obsessing about basketball, back in the good old McDoormat days, I had extra free time, which I could use constructively. Now I spend it all here on Cyclone fanatic, and obsessing about interviews and strategies. Even worse yet, our high school team is in the state tourney this year, and they are fun to watch. I hope I live through March madness to see another year.

And this is just a middle of the pack Big 12 team that's on the bubble for the NCAA!
