City Celebrates Grand Opening of Jerry's Artarama
Posted on 08/01/2013 1:23 pm
City of Wilmington Economic Development Director Harold Gray, the store manager of Jerry's Artarama, Fridam Ali, and the Dean of Delaware College of Art and Design (DCAD), Stuart Baron, joined together to cut the ribbon in celebration of the Grand Opening of Jerry's Artarama, a fine art supply retail store, located in Downtown Wilmington.
Jerry's Artarama, based in Raleigh N.C. and founded in 1968, is recognized as the leading online discount art supplier in the United States. With 16 stores in 10 states, many of the Jerry's Artarama stores are located near college campuses. The Jerry's Artarama in Downtown Wilmington is no different, as it is located less than a block away from DCAD and will serve as the official supplier for DCAD students.
"The City looks to continue to support the growth and development of Downtown Wilmington," said Mayor Dennis P. Williams. "New businesses like Jerry's Artarama and La Fia will add to the vibrancy continuing to grown in Downtown Wilmington, and hopefully attract new customers to the area."
During the Grand Opening, attendees and customers enjoyed a 20 to 30 percent off discount on various art supplies throughout the store. The fine arts supply store will officially become a part of the Downtown community as it will become a presenter on the Wilmington Art Loop.
Council President Theo Gregory was also on hand to celebrate the official opening of Jerry's Artarama.

An interview with:
WASHINGTON COACH Heather Tarr
Kylee Lahners
Kimberlee Souza
Bryana Walker
Shawna Wright
THE MODERATOR: We are now joined by Washington head coach Heather Tarr and student athletes Kylee Lahners, Kimberlee Souza, Bryana Walker and Shawna Wright. We'll start with an opening comment from Coach and go to the floor with questions.
COACH TARR: First, when we knew that we were going to play Michigan last night at whatever time it was -- 2:34 -- it was either Michigan or ASU, so we knew we were in for a battle. I don't know how long our team stayed up to watch the game; hopefully not too long. They knew we were in for it.
Michigan played us tough last time we played them in March, and we lost pretty handily. I just want to give credit to our team for staying strong, especially going down 1 0 late in the game. And Bryana Walker threw an awesome game, and I'm just really proud of our team right now.
Q. Bryana, can you talk about your game coming out tonight? You haven't pitched since Thursday. What was your mindset coming into this afternoon?
Bryana Walker: When I found out I was starting, I was excited. I knew we played them in March and the game didn't go how we wanted it to. Thursday's game I was definitely nervous; first game of the World Series and my first time here. So I felt a lot more confident being on the field, being in the pitching circle. I just knew that my team needed me to step up and be better than I was on Thursday, just working with Shawna and staying strong the whole game.
Q. Coach, you said you stayed up last night. So there was no team rule? Go to bed, let us worry about who we're playing tomorrow?
COACH TARR: We didn't really say that, but we try to get them in bed at a decent hour because we were done pretty early compared to the rest of the teams. So we definitely had the advantage of trying to get some rest. But I know how they are. They're probably watching some of their friends play and watch the game. They can speak to that. But at this time of year you can sleep when you're done.
Q. Kimberlee, I wanted to ask about the go ahead play and the hit up the middle. Just describe it to us?
Kimberlee Souza: Well, they walked Kaitlin (Inglesby), and I knew they were getting me and I was going to get a good pitch and hit it.
There is nothing really more to it. If you overthink it, that's when things start going crazy in your head.
Q. Coach, talk about what happened after that. There was an obstruction, there was an error?
COACH TARR: Yeah, it was hard for me to see. I was wheeling the runners around, and I saw it go off the pitcher's leg, and it looked like it was going into no man's land. And I was hoping that Romero couldn't get it because she is such a good athlete. So I was hoping she couldn't get it to throw us out. And all of a sudden, I guess Kimberlee ran into somebody, and she had a head's up base running move by going to third, because apparently she was stuck down by the second baseman or whoever that was that maybe she was trapped under. Of course, because she got thrown out at third and she was obstructed, she had the base. So she did a great job getting to third base.
Q. Coach, and Shawna, really all of you, can you just talk about how you pretty much shut down those first few innings and being able to actually go back to the last game, the offense hasn't really showed up. Being able to come through in a crucial time like this, what's that say about this team?
COACH TARR: This team, it's kind of like one of those things where you can't keep a good team down very long. For us to be able to find a way to stay in the games that we were staying in to be able to win them, I think that says a lot about our team. It was just only a matter of time for our team to be able to have a big four run inning. We found a way to get the leadoff runner on, and then get her over. Unfortunately, they walked Kaitlin, but fortunately Kimberlee came through and it just kept on going from there. So they worked together.
Shawna Wright: Well, our team's pretty scrappy. We fight. They only got one run in, and we knew we needed at least one run to at least win the game. So we weren't very stressed out about the situation. We stayed calm and did what we can do.
Q. Bryana, you want to talk about what was working well for you today? Obviously, you kind of kept them off their game.
Bryana Walker: I sent a pretty good drop ball out today into the righties, so I would say that was my best pitch going into today, keeping it dropping down.
Q. That's it, the dropoff?
Bryana Walker: Yeah, that was my best pitch today. Q. Kimberlee, you have already faced it, you may face it again tonight. But teams are walking Kaitlin now to get to you. What's going through your mind when you face that situation? .
Kimberlee Souza: Well, nothing really. You get up there and hit the ball.
Q. Kylee, after the crazy play, Kimberlee's hit, when that happens and you guys do finally get those runs across, does that give everyone a sigh of relief for you guys to all come up and to follow with the couple of runs and couple hits coming after that?
Kylee Lahners: Yeah, I would have to say it does feel pretty good once we get a few runs in there. But just keep on scoring and keep putting the ball in play and good things will happen.
Q. Coach, you may face situations tonight where teams are walking Kaitlin. If Victoria's on base and she's got good speed, you have some choices there. Can you go into what you're deciding in that situation?
COACH TARR: Yeah, that's always the case, and that's probably why Victoria Hayward doesn't have more stolen bases, because it puts the situation possibly where you open up the base behind her with Hooch bunting or with Vick stealing, it still gives them an opportunity to do that with Kaitlin.
But I trust the people behind them. Even if they put three people on, we'll take advantage of it, and we did today. Offensively, once you put runners on, we're going to make you pay.
Q. Can you talk about a tournament play where you're pretty high right now, but you've got maybe a couple of hours or six to prepare for what lies ahead?
COACH TARR: Well, our team's pretty free and easy. They know what we have to do, and the best part is we've got to play our game and that's what we get to consume ourselves with. They're excited to keep playing. It beats the alternative, because they'd be having to get to bed tonight to go to school tomorrow morning, and they're hoping to not have to do that.
Q. Kaitlin started against Michigan earlier this year. Was the decision to go with her based on how hot she's been, match ups, what was your determination on that?
COACH TARR: Well, we thought that Kaitlin threw a lot of pitches last night, and we also thought Bry, it was her turn to go, and we trust what she could do to an offense like theirs. She obviously did a great job. It was just Bryana's turn, and Kaitlin threw a lot of pitches last night.
THE MODERATOR: We are joined by Michigan head coach Carol Hutchins and student athletes Sara Driesenga, Ashley Lane, and Sierra Romero. We'll start with Coach and go to the floor with questions.
COACH HUTCHINS: Well, congratulations to the University of Washington. They got it done. We certainly wish them the best in the rest of the tournament. For my kids, we just had a great run. It's been a great season. I told them I love them. I've really enjoyed Team 36. We had a lot of fun together, and their commitment to Michigan has been outstanding.
Although the loss always hurts, I've got to tell you what -- I'm proud of this group because they're great Michigan women and they represent this University with class. They play hard. They play hard for Michigan and they play hard for each other. They've been a great team, and I'm very proud of them.
Q. Ashley and Sierra, can you talk about the emotions of having gone from taking a 1 0 lead and watching it slip away just less than 30 minutes later?
ASHLEY LANE: I mean, always when a team kind of gains the lead back on you, obviously it's not a great emotion, but you just come back with fight. We didn't give up. We kept coming at them, and it just didn't happen in our favor. SIERRA ROMERO: Yeah, it's not the best feeling, but our team knows how to fight and we're known to come back. We just didn't get the job done.
Q. Bryana seemed to be working her drop ball very well, and got you guys to strike out seven times. Can you tell me, was it the drop ball that was working for her or what was working for her? What kind of stymied you guys?
ASHLEY LANE: I mean, yeah. She's a great pitcher. We definitely were chasing her pitches. Credit goes out to her. Yeah, I mean, I guess that's what was working for her. But we did get some great cuts on her, I'll definitely say, just missing balls. We were on her, but obviously we didn't catch any breaks.
SIERRA ROMERO: She did a great job pitching. It didn't fall in our favor. She did a good job mixing up speeds. She's one of the slowest pitchers we saw, so we just had to adjust.
Q. Coach, you want to talk about Sara's performance not only today but in the tournament and recently. She seemed like she did a really good job of getting at people and being efficient. She just ran into a little trouble there in the sixth?
COACH HUTCHINS: I think Sara's been outstanding for us all year. She's put this team on her shoulders so many times, throughout the pre season, the early season, and in the big games. When she didn't have her best moments, she always came back really tough. She's a tough kid, a tough pitcher, and she's only going to get better and better. But she's a large reason why we're here.
Our offense, which carried us so often throughout our whole season, it's interesting because we really get here and we compete here with our pitching and our defense.
Q. Sierra, the first two runs, kind of a lot of crazy stuff happened and you were involved in a couple aspects of that play. What did you see during that sequence of events that allowed them to score those two runs?
SIERRA ROMERO: The ball was hit off Sara, and where the ball landed, it was just a good landing spot. There was nobody playing there, and I got to the ball as fast as I could. We just had to try to get outs.
Q. Ashley, can you talk about the emotions going through your head right now? Four years and you're finally here. You've made it this far. It's still a big moment, but obviously not the way you want to go out?
ASHLEY LANE: I wouldn't say that's not the way I want to go out. Obviously, we didn't accomplish our full goal, but I mean, I couldn't ask to be with a better group of girls. Yeah, we fought. We fought this entire year in this tournament.
I'm happy. I'm happy with what we did. My emotions? They're all over the place, but just mostly because I just don't want to be done. I just don't want to be done playing this sport with these girls next to me with this coach. It's kind of heartbreaking. But you know what? I will forever stand by this team and cheer them on for the rest of my life.
Q. Sara, Ashley and Sierra, can you talk about going from last night when you're up until 2:00, 2:30, 3:00, I don't know how late you stayed up. 4? Okay. Then to get here to play a game like this, what's that experience been like for you?
SARA DRIESENGA: I think being here is such a great experience in itself. It's such a blessing to be here with all these girls. We just have to remember no matter when we play our motto is always whatever it took and however long it took, we were going to do it. I mean we didn't get it done today, but last night we did and we stayed up until however late.
COACH HUTCHINS: Past curfew.
SARA DRIESENGA: Coach always says nothing good happens after midnight, but last night she took that back.
COACH HUTCHINS: I did.
ASHLEY LANE: Obviously, we stayed up really late. That's not an excuse either. We knew that. We went out there and did our thing. We took it for what it was, and we really embraced the moment.
Honestly, I didn't even realize that we didn't get that many hours of sleep. We all woke up this morning energized as ever, so it was not a problem.
SIERRA ROMERO: When you're in the World Series, I don't think sleep matters. Sleep is overrated. Whatever it takes, you're going to do it. I think we did a great job last night, and I think we fought really hard to today, so I'm happy with it.
Q. Coach, I guess this has been kind of a memorable trip to Oklahoma City considering all that's happened Friday with the storms and last night with the long game. Just kind of explain maybe what you guys will remember out of this?
COACH HUTCHINS: Well, any time you're in Oklahoma City, it's memorable. To get here is a huge achievement. It is really difficult to get here. I don't think anybody realizes how difficult it is. These days there are more than eight teams that are capable every year, and to still be standing after 300 teams are out is an amazing feat.
So they'll remember that they committed to all the values of this program, and they committed to Michigan, and they have sacrificed a lot of their own personal things to be a part of this great team. Those are the lessons that take them to the next level in their life. They're a part of something bigger than themselves, and they just do a fantastic job of it. Our seniors in particular, they really grew up here as young girls to great women. I can tell you, they'll remember their experience at Michigan very well, and that makes me very proud and very happy.
Q. Sara, you seemed to be pitching to a lot of contact today. Was that the game plan going in and just talk about the game plan and what you did well?
SARA DRIESENGA: Yeah, the game plan was the same. Just go right at them and trust the defense, trust myself, and trust the movement on my pitches. I mean, there is a lot. The defense did a great job today too making some big outs and some tough plays.
Q. Sara, so talk about how this will impact next year? I don't want you to look too far ahead, but I want you to talk about how much confidence you gained going from here and being battle tested? I think this could go for Sierra as well, how much confidence you gained just being here alone?
SARA DRIESENGA: We were talking earlier, too, and the only thing that if you don't get what you want, at least you got the experience, and that's what we got here. I think we believed that we could be here and we could compete and we proved that too while we were here. And that's going to be huge for the next few years for this program.
SIERRA ROMERO: I think our team has gained a lot of confidence, and what Hutch will tell you, swag. I think we're going to carry that into next year, and I'm really excited to see what happens next year with the team.

Moreda Valley Dairy
For Don, Jr. & Deborah Moreda, the decision to go organic was easy. Their practices were already organic for many years, and they only lacked certification – which was granted in November 2006. Don's great-grandfather was a dairyman in Petaluma, and his family still owns and operates that ranch. Don and Deborah's 3 children were raised on a dairy farm, and have helped with operation. Farming organically and selling milk to Wallaby is a natural fit because their smaller ranch is "thankfully" not capable of supporting a factory farm. With healthier and easy-to-manage cows, the use of antibiotics was never considered. The only milk the Moredas drink comes straight from their own cows.
"Our cows are healthy, happy and clean. They get plenty of natural exercise and have bright, well-defined coloring."
– Deborah Moreda

With Windows 8.1, you can use different keyboards to fit your needs. The most common keyboard is a physical, external keyboard that you connect to your PC. Windows 8.1 also includes a touch keyboard for PCs with touch.
If you want to open the touch keyboard manually (without tapping in a text field or other area where you can type), here's how:
Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, and then tap Settings.(If you're using a mouse, point to the lower-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer up, and then click Settings.)
Tap the Keyboard icon.
Tap Touch keyboard and handwriting panel.
If you can't open the touch keyboard, verify that your PC has a touchscreen. Use your finger to tap a tile on Start. If it's a touchscreen, the app will open. You can also use your mouse to check your current system settings:
Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, tap Settings, and then tap Change PC settings.(If you're using a mouse, point to the lower-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer up, click Settings, and then click Change PC settings.)
Click PC and devices, and then Click PC info.
Under PC, check the Pen and Touch setting. This describes what sort of input your screen supports.
If you have a touchscreen, touch input is on by default and can't be turned off. If you expect your laptop or monitor to respond to touch and it doesn't, check the manufacture's website to make sure it supports touch and that you have the correct drivers installed.
As you use the touch keyboard, Windows might provide text suggestions to help you enter words more quickly or to correct misspellings. To insert a suggestion, tap it, or, if it's highlighted, just press Spacebar. To switch the highlighted word, swipe right or left on the Spacebar.
Here are a few tips and tricks to help you get the most out of your touch keyboard.
At the end of a sentence, double-tap the Spacebar to insert a period and a space. (Not available when using an input method editor [IME] in Japanese, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and Korean.)
Press and hold keys to see similar characters. For example, pressing and holding "e" reveals è, ē, é, ê, and ë. (Not available when using an IME in Japanese, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese.)
Turn Caps Lock on by double-tapping the Shift key. (Not available when using an IME in Simplified Chinese or Traditional Chinese.)
Flick up on any of the keys in the first row (the row that starts with QWERTY) to insert the corresponding numbers (located in the top left of the keys).
Tap the "&123" key to switch to the numbers and symbols view. You can switch to and from the numbers and symbols view more quickly by pressing and holding the "&123" key, tapping the keys you want, and then releasing it.
Use keyboard shortcuts by tapping the Ctrl key and then tapping another key.
If you're looking for some fun characters, tap the Emoticon key.
If your touch keyboard appears when you don't want it to, your PC might be set up incorrectly. Try running the touch keyboard troubleshooter (available only in English) to fix the problem.

Alex, I can't verify this and related. clear should always be false as it's not set on true or 1. Do you have the same issue also when testing this testbed alone ? Or only when doing a AllTests ?

Saints have been promoted to the Premier League.
Nigel Adkins and his team secured back-to-back promotions with a final day 4-0 hammering of Coventry at St Mary's.
Even before the game there seemed little hope of anything other than the win Saints needed to ensure a return to the top flight which they left seven years ago and it certainly proved that way.
Any early nerves were settled by two goals in the space of three first half minutes as Billy Sharp and Jose Fonte put Saints 2-0 up.
Full of confidence and knowing that promotion was all but assured, Saints were rampant in the second half against an already relegated Sky Blues team.
Jos Hooiveld and Adam Lallana added further goals to confirm Saints' finish in the second automatic promotion place behind champions Reading and ahead of West Ham, whose final day victory over Hull was of no consequence in the end.

Hopefully we can get back into the top 100 next year but our mission as a Land Grant school will prevent us from ever being at the top of these as admissions selectivity and retention are a big part of these rankings.

It sucks that US News advertises their rankings so much that they are generally regarded as the top academic metric. Their methodology serves their consumer base, which is high school students looking to find a college they like. With that said, next time I go to Lincoln, I fully expect a banner to hang at the front of the campus "US News and World Report ranked just as good as Iowa State".
On a side note, if you want to see some decent methodology done by a Chinese source for world ranking of universities look here.

Another one
I remember discussing this with someone at the graduate office and he mentioned some other factors
1. Research papers published: it doesn't take into account how many papers are in progress. So if one university has 1 paper published, the university gets a better score than the others not publishing any papers. And this doesn't take into account the quality of the publishing. So one school can also gets high credits if several of its professors publish papers at the same year.

On June 18, an FDA advisory committee will meet to consider recommending a drug that promises to treat low libido in women. Originally developed as a potential antidepressant, flibanseren appears to reduce levels of the neurotransmitter serotonin but boost amounts of two other brain chemicals. MORE asked Nanette Santoro, MD, vice-president of clinical science for The Endocrine Society, if a lack of interest in sex is really a problem for women—and whether drugs might be the best cure.
Q: How much of an issue is low libido for women?
A. It's a relatively prevalent complaint. In studies, about 40 to 60% of women will report a sexual problem, and the most common one is low sex drive. A recent study by Jan Shifren at Massachusetts General says women are more likely to feel distress from experiencing low desire than from other sexual problems. But that doesn't mean that every woman with a weak sex drive is troubled. In this study, women aged 45 to 64 were more likely to be bothered than younger women. They may have been having consistent sex and then their sexual activity started to drop off. These are women doctors might be able to treat.
Q: What do you think is the main cause of a low interest in sex?
A. When you look at larger studies, far and away the dominant factor is relationship issues. So in many cases, there is some kind of relationship problem that is showing up as a sex issue.
Q: To what extent do physical factors play a role?
A: There are physiological changes in sexual response over time, and that is not always a welcome thing. According to the researchers Masters and Johnson, your sexual peak is at age 35 and after that, it's downhill. With menopause comes changes in the vaginal tissue that make it more fragile; women are more susceptible to vaginal dryness, and the tissue may become less elastic. That may make sex less satisfying and more painful. But those issues are very readily addressed with hormonal treatments. Estrogen, which is usually given vaginally for these types of concerns, will restore the vaginal tissues and relieve the problems that women may have with lubrication.
Doctors also need to consider what medications women are using. For example, SSRIs [antidepressants like Prozac that affect serotonin and other neurotransmitters] can cause an inability to have orgasms or a complete loss of interest in sex.
Q: How is a lack of sexual interest generally treated?
A: If there are relationship difficulties, often a referral to a sex therapist will help. In cases where low estrogen or menopause are the issue, adding low doses of estrogen is helpful and will relieve vaginal symptoms. Testosterone has been recommended and discussed, but it has not been FDA-approved for use in this country. Women do take it off-label and get some benefit from it, especially women who have had their ovaries removed. Everyone's looking for a panacea, and testosterone tends to get a lot of the hype. But as most sex therapists will tell you, the most important sex organ is the brain, and that may be where the motivation—or lack of motivation—lies.
Q: How do you treat libido issues?
A: I tend to avoid off-label methods. The Endocrine Society has come out with a position statement recommending against using testosterone with most women, because we really don't know the potential side effects. Typically, I will look for relationship issues, and more often than not, that is what I find. Issues may have been brewing for some time; the physiological factors may collide with a relationship issue that has been steadily getting worse. If we can identify that chronic issue, coping with a woman's own physical problem becomes much easier.
Q: What is the mechanism behind flibanserin?
A: That name sounds like a volcano in Iceland, doesn't it? In any case, it's not really clear. For those of us who have seen how sexual interest can be switched off like a light bulb with an SSRI, this drug is very intriguing; it may be operating the other way around to kindle interest.
Q: Boehringer-Ingelheim says it intends to initially market flibanserin to pre-menopausal women. Why?
A: Probably because the drug was tested on them. The data are often clearer on younger women. Post-menopausal women are trickier, because they have specific hormonal issues to contend with as well. Once the drug is approved it may be used off-label in postmenopausal women.
Q: What effect do you think flibanserin will have on relationships?
A: I think women are going to take it more in the context of a long relationship than in a new relationship. People usually come in for treatment of low libido because they feel mismatched with their partner over time. This is more of a "bring-her-back-to-restore-the-harmony-in-our-relationship" kind of thing, and the drug may serve that purpose for some couples. If there's a relationship problem that goes unaddressed, however, clearly the pill isn't going to work, and you'd be treating the wrong thing.
Q: Flibanserin does not have a huge impact on sexual activity. Do you think it is still worth taking?
A: The size of the effect is very important. Drug researchers found that flibanserin added just one episode of sexual improvement per month. This is not huge. If couples are having sex once a week or more, the effect of the drug is unlikely to be a major factor in their sex lives, which is why it's important that women understand how much this is likely to do for them. I think women are perfectly capable of doing the math for themselves. Once flibanserin is out there, women will need to know what they should expect.

LDAP Active Directory Authentication in Java Spring Security Example Tutorial

I was looking for some spring ldap authentication example and found this nice spring ldap tutorial. Thank you so much for explaining it so clearly.I have implemented spring ldap authentication successfully by following your step and most importantly I also hit by same exception and glad I had the solution in place. best spring ldap tutorial in my opinion

What I like in this spring ldap tutorial is clear example. spring ldap example is very clear and step by step in both way.I agree implementing ldap authentication in Java using JNDI is lot tougher than spring.

- Jim said...
Prior to spring security there was no standard way of doing ldap authentication in Java. though ldap authentication using JNDI and Java was still possible it takes lot of time to get settings right and troubleshooting. This kind of code example for ldap authentication makes task lot easier. going forward spring ldap and Java is way to go.

How can we do ldap authentication without spring security but still using spring. I think there is an spring ldap api called spring-ldap which provides ldap authentication functionality , correct me if I am wrong ?

Nice ldap authentication sample. keep it up. What I like most is SSL part and how to authenticate using SSL in Active directory. Indeed without SSL ldap authentication is completely insecure and anybody can gain access to user credentials including password.

Does anyone know how, using ActiveDirectoryLdapAuthenticationProvider, the authorities that the user has are made accessible? Does anything else need to be configured? Basically, I want to restrict url access by role, and I want to ensure that the roles are available and ready to use within my Spring application context configuration.

This is a nice tutorial and explains well how to use LDAP authentication.
I had a problem which might be faced by any one in the real world. I wanted authentication from the LDAP Active directory and authorization from the local database system. The problem got even bigger while LDAP authentication is also doing authorization and my database authorization is getting overridden by that. What I have done is I have re-written ActiveDirectoryLdapAuthenticationProvider class and changed the implementation of method loadUserAuthorities as below -
protected Collection loadUserAuthorities(DirContextOperations userData, String username, String password) {
List authorities = new ArrayList();
List userAuthorities = userService.loadUserAuthorities(username);
if (CollectionUtils.isNotEmpty(userAuthorities))
for (String currentAuthority: userAuthorities)
authorities.add(new SimpleGrantedAuthority(currentAuthority));
if (logger.isDebugEnabled()) {
logger.debug("'memberOf' attribute values: " + currentAuthority);
logger.debug("No values for 'memberOf' attribute.");
return authorities;
Please let me know if any one can suggest other better approach.

I'm setting a bind from spring ldap to ADAM repository, it's works when you use a ADAM account and simple authentication but I need do the bind with a windows account (LSA).
Could you please help me?
Added the part of the code:
Hashtable env = new Hashtable();
env.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,"com.sun.j ndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory");
env.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL,param.getLdapUrl()); //replace with your server URL/IP
env.put(Context.SECURITY_PRINCIPAL,userName); // in format domain\username or username@domain
env.put(Context.SECURITY_CREDENTIALS, passWord); //the password

Hi, I am getting java.net.UnknownHostException and javax.naming.CommunicationException while deploying my spring security application on Websphere Application Server 7.0 (WAS). Application was running fine on Tomcat 6.0 and Tomcat 7.0 but giving following exception while deployment on WAS. My Question is is there any additional LDAP Setup required on WAS ? I don't think so because LDAP url and domain are already supplied to Spring via Configuration. Please help.

Just to add, LDAP protocol has two version LDAPv2 and LDAPv3, in LDAPv3 bind operation is optional and can be done any state of connection. Spring Security uses LDAPv3 Simple bind so it must be encrypted using SSL or TLS because Simple bind sends user password in clear text or plain text. bind operation also pass version of ldap protocol which is typically 2 or 3. While sending bind request you LDAP library should use LDAPv3 is the default version in protocol but not in library.

Bike counters needed to help study cycling in Boulder County
Submitted by David on
Bike counters needed to help study cycling in Boulder County
Monday, September 12, 2011
Boulder County, Colo. – The Boulder County Transportation Department is seeking volunteers to take bicycle counts at locations around the county.
Volunteers will be rewarded with a one-year Boulder B-cycle membership and a custom thermos.
When: Saturday and/or Sunday, Sept. 24 and 25, 9-11 a.m.
Where: Throughout Boulder County. A map will be provided with assigned location.
The deadline to volunteer is Sept. 22. Contact Brandon Smith at 720-564-2667 or email@example.com to register and for more information.
A location map and a simple spreadsheet will be provided to volunteers to hand-write the counts as they happen.
The bicycle counts will provide the Boulder County with useful information in five areas of study:
1. Conditions and trend analysis – documents the number of people currently bicycling, how this number is changing over time, and characteristics of the cyclists.
2. Network planning – helps prioritize improvements and find locations needing attention.
3. Demand forecasting ¬¬– allows for improvements to be ready before they are needed.
4. Safety – pinpoints areas of concern between cyclists, motorists and pedestrians
5. Usage – identifies shifts in seasonality or times-of-day
Dan Rowland, Communications Specialist
Boulder County Commissioners' Office

Pivotal GemFire
Pivotal and VMware are partnering to deliver well-managed, agile and secure data and application infrastructure for VMware environments across public, private and hybrid clouds. Pivotal GemFire, formerly known as VMware vFabric GemFire, is now part of the Pivotal portfolio of products.
Pivotal GemFire is a distributed data management platform. Pivotal GemFire is designed for many diverse data management situations, but is especially useful for high-volume, latency-sensitive, mission-critical, transactional systems.
Elastic In-memory Data Management
Modern applications are web-oriented, data-intensive, and deployed in virtualized and cloud environments. Traditional databases are becoming performance bottlenecks when they can't supply the high-speed performance required, and are unable to scale elastically with demand.
Pivotal GemFire delivers speed and dynamic scalability without compromising enterprise-class capabilities supporting high availability, reliability, and manageability.
Deliver High-Performance Data Management at Cloud Scale
Pivotal GemFire is a distributed data management platform providing dynamic scalability, high performance, and database-like persistence. It blends advanced techniques like replication, partitioning, data-aware routing, and continuous querying to help you:
Achieve unmatched performance plus database-class reliability
Pivotal GemFire's in-memory design and unique "shared nothing" architecture eliminates single points of failure while delivering very high performance. Combining that with an equally unique disk logging algorithm, you get exceptionally high throughput for your data. Pivotal GemFire manages multiple copies of data on disk with minimal impact on performance. And thanks to the sophisticated recovery mechanism, disk or single-node failures will not compromise data consistency.
Increase developer productivity
Pivotal GemFire's APIs and integration with the popular Spring framework combine to greatly speed and simplify the development and support of scalable, transactional enterprise applications. The Spring Data GemFire project provides specific code samples to get productive quickly.
Simplify and improve caching for Tomcat and Hibernate users
Pivotal GemFire can offload and manage HTTP session state for Apache Tomcat, Pivotal tc Server, VMware's enterprise version of Tomcat optimized for Java Spring users, and other application servers. Pivotal GemFire manages large sessions with proven high availability and scalability - an especially beneficial capability for web apps that need to scale out to meet demand. Pivotal GemFire also provides fast, scalable, and distributed second level (L2) caching for Hibernate, for dramatically superior performance and reduced network traffic.

LF: The Breakout Candidate
When the Minnesota Twins traded promising young starter Matt Garza to the Tampa Bay Rays last offseason, the keystone of the deal was Delmon Young, who had batted .288 and drove in 93 runs during his rookie season in 2007. From the Twins' perspective, Young was one of the most promising young talents in the American League.
Of course, as had happened at the second base (Brendan Harris), shortstop (Adam Everett), and third base (Mike Lamb) positions, Delmon got off to a slow start in a Twins uniform, flailing away at unhittable pitches and not hitting anything but singles when he did connect (his first home run didn't come until June 7). This was at the same time that Garza was near the league leaders in both wins and earned run average for the AL.
Then, on June 27, Michael Cuddyer (the most powerful right-handed bat in the Twins' lineup to that point) was essentially lost for the season due to a wrist (and later a foot) injury. From that point, Young really stepped up and became a force in the Twins' lineup, finishing with a .290 BA, 80 R, 10 HR, and 14 SB.
Defensively, Young was heavily criticized (yes, this is you Patrick Ruesse) during one portion of the season where he misjudged a few fly balls in the Metrodome. To me, though, that criticism was entirely undeserved. First off, Young has a rocket arm out in left (a HUGE improvement over our last full-time left fielder Shannon Stewart). Second, every rookie has their struggles at the Dome, whether it be with the roof (outfielders) or the turf (infielders). Yes, Young struggled a little bit, but by the end of the season he saved many more hits, runs, and advancing base runners than he allowed.
The key thing that Twins fans must remember about Delmon Young is that his last name is synonymous with his current status in MLB. Delmon is only 22 years old, and after his breakthrough rookie season in 2007 he had a bit of a "sophomore slump" in the early goings of '08. As the season came to a close, though, it became clear that Young can provide some right-handed pop to the lineup (as well as good speed), making him potentially the starting left-fielder of the Minnesota Twins for many years to come. I, for one, have no qualms about that.
Playoff Notes:
-What a clutch win for the Phillies last night, with Shane Victorino hitting a late-inning two-run home run to give the Phils the victory. I predicted the Philadelphia squad to win this series in five games, and right now they are one win from doing exactly that.
-ALCS Game Four Starting Pitchers (Tampa Bay 2, Boston 1): Tim Wakefield (10-11, 4.13) vs. Andy Sonnanstine (13-9, 4.38). Can the Rays win two consecutive games in Fenway Park in October? I lean towards one, but of course I also doubted their ability to even win one.

We are not beating around the bush today. If you want your business to grow limitlessly to both big profits and big fulfillment, you have to start with what makes you joyful. Including the people around you. So we gotta ask: Why are you agonizing over that consuming "friendship" that exists in your life right now? Why are you trying to figure out how that relationship went wrong, or how you can make it right? Why are you worrying yourself sick over getting someone else's approval, and why-oh-why do you keep setting yourself up for them to not call you back, let you down again, fail to show up, or beg you to do one more favor for them? Ewwww. That hit a nerve, huh? You can see her face right now, can't you?
O.K., here's the truth. We've all had girlfriends occasionally let us down. We've made the same mistakes ourselves. That's not who we are talking about today. Our encouragement for you is to keep your eyes wide open here when we tell you that if there are people in your life who are holding your back, letting you down, slowing you down, and plainly disappointing you, it is time to let go.
If you are looking in the mirror right now, it's time to set yourself free. If you are truly ready to be all that you were intended to be, you must stop allowing others to hold you back. No matter the past circumstances. Here's how to know when to let go, un-friend, and finally free yourself of the pain, stress and drama:
1. First and always: Make sure you are being exactly who you want to be in this relationship. If you want them to support you in your mission, you MUST inform them what that mission is. And then you must empower them to help you in that mission. If you haven't done that yet, start here. You may not need to un-friend after all. Before you enforce the boundary, you must create it and get on the right side. Start with you, and all YOU can do to fight the good fight and do what is right first.
2. If you have exhausted all that exists in step one, and you have already clearly communicated where you are being let down or where needs are not being met, and they are still letting you down, then now's the time. Un-friending a girlfriend does not have to be a big deal. It can, and should be, as simple as you no longer going out of your way. Often, it's not even an out-loud conversation. It's an internal conversation you have with yourself to just create the boundary. There need not be a giant argument. It's just you protecting yourself and your legacy by purposefully surrounding yourself with others who will lift you up, protect you, celebrate with you, and even hold you truthfully accountable to what is right. And the only way to do that is to remove those who do not.
If you are still struggling to let go of a toxic friendship, consider the resulting freedom the greatest gift you can give yourself and to them. What is sapping your energy is certainly sapping theirs. So do them the favor of setting you both free to move on in the most loving way you know how. Anything less would be un-authentic.

DOTHAN, Ala. (AP) -- Authorities say two children have been killed and three adults were hurt in a late night house fire in Dothan.
Fire officials tell WTVY-TV that the injured adults were taken to Flowers Hospital in Dothan. They say the fire happened late Monday night on Ginnalou Drive off Highway 84 West.
Houston County Coroner Robert Byrd tells the Dothan Eagle that he pronounced two children, a boy and a girl, dead after midnight.
Byrd said one of the injured adults was taken by helicopter to another hospital for additional treatment.
Few other details on the blaze were immediately available early Tuesday morning.
Byrd told the newspaper early Tuesday that there are many unanswered questions about what happened.

ASK IRA: Should Celtics' woes encourage Heat?
Q: Should Miami be comforted with the way in which Boston is struggling against the injury-riddled Knicks? Or should it be nervous seeing how well Boston can still execute in the fourth quarter? — Kevin.
A: I'd say the latter. No matter where the Celtics stand, or who they have at center, they manage to find a way to get it done. Play the Celtics close and there's a good chance Doc Rivers finds a way to beat you. The best of all worlds for the Heat is a Celtics-Knicks series that exhausts the survivor, although that appears unlikely right now.
Q: You have overlooked Chalmers' skill set all year, consistently waxing negative. Since Bibby arrived, he has become what we former players have been expecting. How long will you wait to write a column praising his emergence while tasting the crow you have been served? — Stephen.
A: First, I don't mind eating crow, tastes like chicken. Second, what I consistently have said is that Mario Chalmers is not an NBA starter, and I'll stand by that, even if it ruffles (crow) feathers. He is far better suited, with his disruptive tendencies, to play as a reserve. He is filling that destiny now. And he hardly was overwhelming in Game 2. But that doesn't mean I couldn't go for some deep-fried fowl right about now.
Q: Ira, any chance Mark Duper could work with Joel Anthony on catching the ball? — George.
A: Not without Mark Clayton getting jealous.
Q: Out of the three prime centers available this summer, which one would be a better fit for this Heat team: Marc Gasol, Nene or Dalembert? — J.A.
A: It doesn't matter with the first two, because the Heat flat out can't afford either. The question with Dalembert is whether he is enough of upgrade on Joel Anthony, with neither offering much in the way of a post-up presence.
Q: A lot of NBA analysts were wondering whether the Bulls had "another gear" that they could go to in the playoffs. The Bulls outworked everyone in the regular season, now it looks like Chicago is very one dimensional and lucky to be leading the eighth-seeded Pacers. — Jeffrey.
A: Chicago basically played the regular season in every-minute-counts playoff mode. Now with scouting and scheduling evening the playoff field, they hardly look like a lock in the East. I agree.

Merry + Bright Kids Holiday Party (36 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
First, the main dessert table. My husband and I spray painted a fake wreath we bought 40% off at Hobby Lobby a lime green color (Key Lime Rust Oleum to be exact) to keep with the theme. I then wrapped ribbon around it and added some matching picks to the wreath that ended up being a main focal point to the fabric backdrop we made. The amazing custom cookies came from The Cookie Jar. Other yummy but pretty sweets seen on the table were Santa Hat cake pops from Lillycakes, Fondant Cupcake Toppers from Lynlee's Petite Cakes, Chocolate Covered Oreos by Sweeties and a polka dot cake made by a local gal who bakes out of her home. I added a craft stick and some ribbon to the invitation design to use as my cake topper! :) I also added a few of the fondant trees on the cake as well. I made the snowman donuts which were super easy. I actually saw them on Pinterest and knew I wanted to include them in the shoot. I bought a package of white mini donuts and added black food coloring to make the eyes and mouth and pushed a piece of candy corn inside the hole for the nose :) I also made the marshmallows by simply dipping them in white almond bark and adding some sprinkles, a craft stick and a matching tag. :) I purchased the pink, aqua and lime mini trees from Hobby Lobby and added some ornaments and hot glued on some other mini ornaments as well. I knew I wanted to use trees as my focal point to the table and when I saw them ON SALE at Hobby Lobby, I knew they would be perfect.
As for the second "MERRY" table, I added some ornament picks in a green and pink glass vase that I already had from a former party and added some gems and ribbon :) Purchased the matching gift wrap in the Target dollar aisle and had little fuchsia bags from Shop Sweet Lulu for the kids with a custom favor tag with each of their names on it and simply added some aqua washi tape behind it. I even created a custom design to put over my clock :) I also added matching ornaments found at Hobby Lobby hanging off of my curtain rod using fish line.
In the dining area, the girls each had their own cupcake with matching name topper that sat on top of matching plates and napkins from Polka Dot Market. I bought a piece of 12x12 shimmer aqua paper to set underneath the plates for contrast against the pink satin tablecloth. My husband spray painted the vase that the flowers are in and I super glued a decorative snowflake and added a few gems :) My sister is a florist so she put the arrangement together. In the corner of the dining table I used a black little shelf I had to display the DIY yarn trees I made. I simply wrapped yarn around three different height tree foams and hot glued on little balls I found at Hobby Lobby as ornaments. They are one of my favorite elements from the shoot and were SO easy to make - my 2.5 year old daughter even helped. I spray painted glass candlestick holders from the dollar store that are holding the large ornaments also seen in the black shelf. Such a nice little touch and very inexpensive. I added tissue poms to the wall in the dining room to cover up the picture frames I normally have displayed in there by simply using a push pin :)
Lastly, the absolutely ADORABLE outfits all of the girls are donning were just beyond perfect. I knew I wanted everyone to be in the color scheme and everything came together perfectly even though everything came from a different vendor. Handmade tee's by the amazing Rachel of *golden*, custom hair accessories from Frills, pettiskirts from Lilies and Things and adorable necklaces from Miss CoCo Designs. The girls all looked beyond adorable and this would be the perfect outfit for the holiday season.

Bible scholar Robert Price and I were asked about our thoughts on the movie Noah on the Geek's Guide to the Universe podcast, sponsored by Wired Magazine and hosted by David Barr Kirtley.
The episode (108) first features an interview with author Christopher Moore, who has been rewriting and merging Shakespeare tales from the perspective of different characters in them. This guy does a lot of interesting research for his fiction, and discusses that and how it led to the form of his latest book, The Serpent of Venice, a bizarre comedy-monster-bondage-erotica-horror novel blending Othello and the Merchant of Venice…not kidding, you might want to listen to this half of the show. They also touch on a lot of other things, like the aesthetics of hiding political values in fiction. They even talk about the Noah story a little (between minute 38:40 and 42:10), because Moore wrote Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal (which the host says is taught in seminaries, although that seems odd).
Our panel starts at 42:52 and goes a little over an hour from there. We laugh a bit and talk about everything Noah. Whether it was a good movie. How far it deviated from the Old Testament story. Where on earth the changes came from, or what the point of them was. What myths are for and how best to react to them. Why Christians who repudiate the film might be showing their true colors a bit more than they intend. You'll get all kinds of info and analysis from both of us on how the writers of the film took genuine germs of ideas from the apocrypha and Talmud about the Noah tale and expanded them with their own creative additions. Want to know why there are rock monsters? Or why Noah is a militant vegetarian environmentalist? Or where the idea of that exploding crystal came from? Or where on earth they got the idea of Methuselah burning a million soldiers to death by shoving a sword in the ground? Or how the film is actually more Christian than the Bible story itself? Sci-fi and fantasy geeks will be especially amused.
We also ponder what the aesthetic point might have been behind various decisions the filmmakers made (director Darren Aronofsky, who co-wrote with Ari Handel), and compare how they treated this story with how other films treat mythical tales that are safely pagan (and thus no one notices or cares when they change everything). We even touch on the criticism that went around (like Greta Christina wrote about a while back) that the casting might have been a tinge racist.
Near the end (starting around 136:41) we go a little into my work on Bayesian method and the historicity of Jesus, and an unusual new project Robert Price is involved in that is well worth learning about, and whatnot. Check it out!

Sergio Perez is starting to settle nicely into his role at McLaren with the Mexican topping the timesheets on day two in Barcelona
The 23-year-old, who completed 97 laps on Wednesday, hit the front with a 1:21.848, in the afternoon while he focused on single flying laps on soft tyres. He is the only driver to have dipped under the 1:22 mark so far at the Circuit de Catalunya.
His time was 0.349s better than that of morning pacesetter Sebastian Vettel (also softs), but it was once again a case of the regulars dominating proceedings with Kimi Raikkonen of Lotus, Mercedes' Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso from Ferrari completing the top five.
Vettel endured a mixed day at the office, posting the best time in the morning session but then being forced to spend some time in the garage late afternoon after a loose wheel following a pit stop forced him to stop.
The team, though, insist it wasn't a major issue and they will be back to their best on Wednesday.
Raikkonnen was third fastest with a 1:22.697, but he also had some reliability issues as a gearbox problem forced him to miss most of the morning action. He completed only 43 laps in the afternoon, but his time was good enough for third.
Hamilton was the busiest man on the track as he completed 121 laps, posting a best time of 1:22.726 on the hard tyres while Alonso was fifth with a 1:23.247.
1 Sergio Perez McLaren 1m21.848s 97 Soft

Welcome to Buffaloes Summer Break where CUBuffs.com catches up with Colorado student-athletes and coaching staff members throughout the summer "off season."
Today's installment comes from Nicole Kenneally, who recently completed her 13th season as head coach of the Colorado women's tennis program. The 2007 Big 12 Conference Coach of the Year, Kenneally has guided the Buffaloes to 136 wins during her tenure and a pair of NCAA Tournament appearances. She has been in charge of leading the Buffaloes into the Pac-12 Conference, one of the best leagues for women's tennis in the nation.
What is your favorite summer time activity?
Biking, reading, relaxing and watching the Boulder Creek flow.
Favorite vacation destination and why?
Tough question! There are a lot of places I would want to go...not sure if they would be my favorite vacation destinations but any Australian state capital city....each is very different and diverse and brings that good Aussie feeling! I do love Europe though!
What was your first summer job?
Working at McDonald's!
What was your most memorable summer job experience?
Working for Nick Bollettieri Tennis Academy (now IMG Academies)
Explain one aspect of your job during the off-season that fans may not realize.
How much time we still work as it is a full time job year round.
The most important thing your current student-athletes should be doing this summer.
Looking for opportunities to learn each and every day.
What is your favorite moment here at Colorado?
Seeing the hard work payoff in their moments of victory, individually & for the team.
A summer-time activity you enjoyed growing up that is NOT your current sport.
Going to the beach and body surfing.
Best advice for youth that are beginning to compete in athletics.
Keep an open mind, enjoy, learn and look for your passion.
If you could sit in with one other coaching staff at CU for a game/event that is not your sport, which staff would it be and why?
Either Tad (Boyle) or Linda (Lappe), although I don't know basketball, I see it's a very strategic/analytical game and pair that with the excitement that the Coors crowds are bringing it would be really cool due to the intimacy of the facility.
If you could bring one famous person to Colorado for a day-long tour who would it be, and what would you do with them?
Prince Harry! Hike & breakfast at Chautauqua Park, ride bikes along the Boulder Creek path, tour campus, eat lunch & walk Pearl Street, hike Mt. Sanitas, play some tennis at CU South, tube Boulder Creek & finish with dinner at Flagstaff House!

La Monnaie ¦ Chamber music ¦ From Cage to Bach ¦ Intro
From Cage to Bach
Guido De Neve
Flemish musician Guido de Neve takes us on an ambitious journey across three-and-a-half centuries of music for solo violin. On the programme are Heinrich von Biber's heady Passacaglia, one of the earliest surviving works in the repertoire; Eugène Ysaÿe's demanding second sonata; and John Cage's enigmatic Eight Whiskus, whose title was coined by merging Whistlin 'is did, a poem by Australian artist Chris Mann, with the word 'haiku'. But the cornerstone of the recital and the link between all these various pieces is the famous Chaconne from Bach's Partita in d minor, which, aside from being breathtakingly beautiful, is almost impossible to play – most violinists worship it as some unattainable Himalayas. This is a tour de force of a recital, but de Neve, a former child prodigy with unusually broad interests (he started out as a champion of the avant-garde before turning his attention to Baroque music) is just the man to pull it off. He will be playing three different violins, including a 1650 Mathys Hofmans from Antwerp.
