TEMPE, Ariz. - The Arizona State wrestling team (6-7, 1-1 Pac-12 duals) will close out the home schedule on Sunday, hosting No. 22 Oregon State in a Pac-12 contest at 3 p.m. MT inside Wells Fargo Arena. The dual will be televised on the Pac-12 Arizona and Pac-12 Oregon Networks.
Prior to the dual, the Sun Devils will honor its trio of seniors, Nick Rex, Brandon Behrens, and Hans Rasmusson. Following the match, the ASU wrestlers will be available for autographs up on the northern concourse.
The Sun Devils will round of the season on the road with trip to California next week to face Pac-12 foes Cal Poly on Feb. 14 and Cal State Bakersfield on Feb. 16. ASU will round out the regular season in Stillwater, Okla., at Oklahoma State on Feb. 21 before traveling to Palo Alto, Calif. for the Pac-12 Wrestling Championships on March 2.
The Beavers (9-5, 3-0 Pac-12) picked up a win last week, defeating Cal Poly on the road, 22-12. OSU notched wins in six weight classes, including a pin by Taylor Meeks at 197 and a major decision from Joey Delgado at 141.
Before traveling to Tempe, Oregon State will travel to Boise State for a Pac-12 dual on Friday.

Sun Devil wrestling dropped a pair of duals to ranked opponents over the weekend, falling to No. 18 Iowa State in a Saturday night dual, 21-12, before falling to No. 25 Stanford, 22-10.
Against Iowa State, ASU picked up wins at 157 (Joel Smith), 184 (Blake Stauffer), 125 (Ares Carpio), and 141 (Matt Kraus). In the dual with Stanford, Kraus picked up his second win of the weekend at 141, as did Smith and Stauffer.
With back-to-back wins in ASU's losses to Iowa State and Stanford, Blake Stauffer remains ranked at No. 18 at 184 by Amateur Wrestling News.
Joel Smith currently owns three of the fastest pin times so far this season, starting with his 18-second victory at the Cowboy Open on Nov. 2. Smith's pins at the Virginia Duals, 0:37 over Nebraska-Kearney's Colton Johnson and 1:30 over Old Dominion's Tristan Warner, are the second and third quickest pins in 2013-14, respectively.
Smith also recorded a pin in 4:03, and is second on the team with four, followed Ray Waters (165/174) who has six.
Ray Waters' (165) pin of SIUE's Logun Taylor at 1:59 on Nov. 16 marks the fifth-quickest pin so far this season. Waters has recorded five more falls, which leads the team. His 2:31 takedown of Josh VanTine in ASU's dual with Northern Colorado marks the sixth-fastest time, and his 3:20 pin over Boise State's Cole Rice places him in eighth. Waters also recorded a pin at 3:49 over Harvard's Colton Peppleman is at No. 10 on the list.
The Sun Devils competed in their lone head-to-head team competition last week, the Virginia Duals in Hampton, Va. ASU finished seventh overall, marking the sixth time finishing in the Top 8 and second at seventh (last, 1987).
After an opening-round loss to No. 8 seed Chattanooga (35-7), ASU rebounded with a win over then-No. 25 Old Dominion (21-15). ASU fell to Rider, 25-11, before topping Nebraska-Kearney, 32-6, in the seventh-place match.
Against Old Dominion, each team won five matches, but ASU was boosted by a pair of pins, the first as Ares Carpio won in 4:54 at 125, and the second from Joel Smith at 157 in 1:30.
Smith was the lone Sun Devil to go undefeated on the day, picking up two pins and a decision. In ASU's victory over Nebraska-Kearney, they picked up four bonus-point decisions: one pin from Smith, two major decisions from Kalin Goodsite (133) and Matt Kraus (141), and one victory via forfeit from Luke Bean at 197.
So far this season, six Sun Devils have recorded high final placements in tournament action. Kyle Colling is the first ASU wrestler to pick up a tournament title in the 2013-14 season, winning the heavyweight bracket at the Keystone Classic with four wins, including a 3-1 tiebreaker decision in the championship match.
Kevin Radford has a pair of third-place finishes under his belt, the first at the Cowboy Open (Nov. 2), where he went 5-1 in the 184 weight class before finishing third at 174 at the Keystone Classic on Nov. 24. Radford also finished eighth overall at the Las Vegas Invite on Dec. 7.
Chace Eskam finished third at the Cowboy Open at 197, going 2-1 overall and picking up a sudden-victory win in the opening round before he came out on top with a 3-2 decision to seal his finish.
Blake Stauffer went 5-1 at the Keystone Classic to finish third at 184, with three winning decisions and one tech fall victory.
Ray Waters finished fourth overall at the Keystone Classic at 165, with a pair of pins and a 12-4 major decision win over Appalachian State's Zac Strickland.
The final Sun Devil to place so far this season is Matt Kraus, who finished in fifth at the Keystone Classic at 141. Kraus picked up at 10-1 major decision win over Trevor Moody of Indiana en route to his finish.
As a team, ASU finished seventh in its lone head-to-head team tournament, the Virginia Duals. The Sun Devils picked up wins over then No. 25 Old Dominion and Nebraska-Kearney.
First Place: Colling (Nov. 24)
Third Place: Radford (Nov. 2, Nov. 24), Eskam (Nov. 2), Stauffer (Nov. 24)
Fourth Place: Waters (Nov. 24)
Fifth Place: Kraus (Nov. 24)
Eighth Place: Radford (Dec. 7)
Prior to its season opener, the Arizona State wrestling team competed in its yearly Maroon and Yellow Intersquad match. In the 125 weight class, Ares Carpio picked up from where he left off last season, dominating Tyree Owens, 20-5.
At 133, Tyler Liberatore took an early lead over Cord Coronado with three takedowns before Carpio came back and held off the major decision with a final score of 9-4.
Freshman Jesus Calderon stepped in at 141, but was unable to overcome Paul Looper's collegiate experience as Looper came out with the 9-2 victory.
The marquee match of the night came at 149, with Preston McCalmon taking on NCAA qualifier Nathan Hoffer. The pair fought to a tie score at the end of regulation before Hoffer came out to win the match.
At 157, Joel Smith picked up three takedowns in his defeat of Codey Combs, while Ray Waters pinned James Brundage in 37 seconds in the 165 weight class.
Josh DaSilvera defeated Chase Eskam in overtime, 3-2 in the 197, while the battle of the heavyweights came down to Kyle Colling picking up the advantage of Daniel Gusev.
In exhibition, Luke Bean wrestled Wesley Moore at the 197, with Moore picking up the win, 8-4.
Each of the Sun Devils' five home matches this season are scheduled back-to-back from Jan. 18 through Feb. 9. ASU will open the home slate with a tri-meet against Northern Colorado and Utah Valley on Jan. 18 before facing its first Pac-12 foe of the year, Boise State, on Jan. 24.
The Sun Devils will then take on Iowa State on Feb. 1 before taking on Pac-12 foe Stanford on Feb. 3, which will be aired on the Pac-12 Networks. ASU closes out the home schedule against Oregon State on Feb. 9, in another match that will be broadcast by the Pac-12 Networks.
Four of Arizona State's meets are set to be aired by the Pac-12 Networks in 2014, starting with the conference opener against Boise State. ASU will then have back-to-back televised duals against Stanford and Oregon State.
The 2014 Pac-12 Championships, hosted by Stanford on March 2 will also be aired on the Pac-12 Networks.
This season, the Sun Devil roster features a pair of graduate transfers, James Brundage and Nick Rex. Brundage, who hails from Ossining, N.Y., received a BA in sociology at Rider University, and is now completing his masters in management at ASU. Rex joins the Sun Devils from Campbell University, where he earned a degree in communications, and was team captain during the 2011-13 seasons.
Some of the most experienced returning Sun Devils come in the form of Kevin Radford and Blake Stauffer. The redshirt junior and true sophomore combined for 43 wins last season, including 25 during the Pac-12 Conference slate. Both are currently ranked in each of the four major wrestling polls.
Similar to last season's squad, the Maroon and Gold features a passel of young newcomers this year, with five true freshman additions, and a trio of sophomores. Joining the Sun Devils this season are freshmen Kaleb Baker (Memphis, Tenn.), Jesse Calderon (Indio, Calif.), Seth Monty (Mesa, Ariz.), and Mech Spraggins (Belleville, Ill.). New to the sophomore class this season are Wesley Moore (Queen Creek, Ariz.), Pablo Moreno (Yuma, Ariz.), and Kaylon Sencio (Houston, Texas).
The 2013-14 season will see a new addition to the Sun Devil squad, as Tyrel Todd was named as an assistant coach in the Summer of 2013. Todd spent the last two seasons training with the Cliff Keen Wrestling Club, where he recently competed at the 2012 U.S. Olympic Team Trials. He was fourth at the 2008 Olympic trials at 84 kilograms, just missing a bid to the Beijing Olympics in the process. Following a standout career at Michigan, where Todd was a three-time All-American and 2009 Big Ten Conference Champion at 197 points, Todd served his alma mater as an assistant for the 2010 season before spending one year on the staff as an assistant at Cal Poly.

First and foremost, LOL @ the title of this video being "Say You Will Freestyle." Usually a freestyle involves rapping or poetizing of some sort, rather than sing-speak-autotuning the fairly literal details of a failed late-night hookup. But credit to Kanye's unconventional genius (and the awesome piano part to "Say You Will") that he actually makes something highly listenable out of the venture, and you'll be hanging on his every word as his story gets later and later at night and the stakes get higher and higher. Will Kanye get himself laid? Will he get a taste of "type of pussy you risk your life for…the type of pussy you leave your wife for"? (Spoiler: No. But you should watch/listen anyway.)
At the very least, we get an all-time great and all-time definitive Kanye moment as he ponders about halfway through: "Who you gonna listen to, your ego or your dick? / Ohhhhhh, dick wins." Usually does, 'Ye.

After buying Ouya from Amazon now the millon dollar issue is how to load games, apps, emulators, roms onto Ouya. After surfing the net for the same, I found a number of ways through which it could be done.
Creating an account in Dropbox.apk in your Ouya is one such way. Through your PC download the roms file in your PC. Open the dropbox account in your Ouya and export the files. In this way you can play your favourite games on Ouya.
A bit of work but worth doing it in order to play the games on big screen. For step by step details of the proceeder you can check the link.
There are other like AirDroid, Astro File Manager, Box.com, Easy Unrar Lite, ES File Explorer, ES Task Manager, Google Chrome, Kainy which could be used for sideloading the apps and games. Among them Dropbox seems to be best.
Apart from Dropbox, I found ES File Explorer also to be a good option. For more details and step by step procedure for sideloading you can check this link .
If one feels comfortable, Astro File Manager can also be tried. For more details about it follow the link given here.
Again while going through Ouya forums I found this guy's post who manage to crack Google play through a software named Blackmart Alpha. According to him Temple Run and Star War worked great while no other Google stuff did well on Ouya.

Rant Lite
Today's rant examines scenarios for the escalating War for Oil in the Middle East.
Quote of the Day
Revelation 6:8
And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
A Tale of Two Depressions
As the Great Depression progressed onward, the early collapse in RE prices made many Banks insolvent, which then precipitated the Stock Market Crash of 1929.
Saudi Arabia is Going DownWhen the Saudis have to Ban Protests in an already ridiculously repressive state, the End is not far off.
Other Shoes and the Uselessness Premium"Creating fuel production in a failed- state Libya is beyond the grasp of the EU's and United States' unconventional 'assets'. Blatant military intervention would be opposed by Russia, China and no doubt the other oil- producing autocracies."
World War III over in the M.E. has ratcheted its way up here quite a bit in the last couple of days. Dominoes are falling fast and furious now.
Unlike in Egypt, el-Kabong has shown he isn't going to exit stage left quietly, and while the MSM tiptoes around the subject saying "Libya MIGHT descend into Civil War", the truth is apparent, there is ALREADY a full on Civil War going on there.
Obama-sama has declared "Nothing is off the Table", and they are floating the idea of arming the rebel forces. Now exactly who to and how they will issue Assault Rifles and RPGs to isn't exactly clear. Does a Container Ship pull up at the dock and Libyan Towel Heads line up for an issue of Guns and Ammo? Do they pay for the Ammo or we just hand it out for free? Nobody is handing me free Ammo! I am paying through the nose for it here! These folks live on $2 a day. How many rounds can you buy for $2 in Libya?
Then there are the Limeys and the Frogs, the ones most strenuously pushing for a "No Fly Zone" to be established over Libya. This because apparently for the Brits the boys at the London School of Economics were in bed with el-Kabong, and they are probably looking at losing a shit load of money here if they cannot protect their assets. For the Frogs, I suspect they along with the Ities get most of the shipments of Libyan Oil, its right across the Mediterranean Sea. They are getting hit first and hardest with the supply loss, which they have to try to make up from other sources, but this is pretty hard to do when all the other sources are having problems producing also and what they do produce already has been contracted for.
So, on the Gas shortages/lines/rationing problem, the Ities and the Frogs look like they will be the first Western Countries hit. I don't know if either of those countries maintain any kind of SPR. Labor strikes have already hit the Frogs, if they start having trouble getting gas, France is going to be in the deep doo-doo very quickly. So these folks want to shut down the Libyan Civil War ASAP and get those Oil Wells producing quickly.
So if you figure its hitting them first, they should be the ones who sign up a bunch more Mercs for the French Foreign Legion to head over to Libya to guard the Oil Wells. Both the French and the Brits have plenty of their own Jets, and you don't even need an Aircraft Carrier, you can sortie the Jets straight out of an airbase in Sicily. Its only about 300 nautical miles across the Med Sea for them to Bomb Tripoli back to the Stone Age. So if any Western Countries are about to drop in on this Clusterfuck, one suspects the Brits and the French will be the first to do so.
While the Civil War has been spinning up, the Refugee issue is getting rapidly bigger. Just yesterday I read in the MSM the Spin that the refugee issue was not too bad, 100K or so on the borders of Algeria and Egypt. Today, the number was jacked up an order of magnitude to 1M. "Humanitarian Crisis" has hit the pages of the MSM. An HC is ALWAYS the excuse for a UN "Peacekeeping" Force to be dropped into a War Zone. So I am figuring the UN is negotiating to set up Refugee Camps in Egypt and Algeria, where they will then drop in a shit load of French and Brit Mercs, using these refugee camps as a staging ground for sending in counterinsurgency Special Ops to try and Capture/Kill el-Kabong. They clearly have to try this before trying to stage up a massive INVASION with Tanks, the hope being if they can come out with el-Kabong's Head on a Pike, the Rabble will calm down and they can then Restore Order. Trying alternatively to restore order here by Brute Force will take a LOT of military assets. Just think about all those WWII Tank Battles in North Africa between Patton, Montgomery and Rommel. This is a BIG patch of land to try to control this way.
The question here is just how well prepped is el-Kabong? How much fuel does he have stored up for his Jets? How many MREs does he have sequestered to dish out to his "Loyal" troops? How good a Bunker did he build with his Oil Billions? Is it better than Hitler's Bunker? I'll bet it is. Probably has its own Micro Nuke Hitachi Power Plant buried and a deep well drilled down to the water table left over from the Jurrasic Period, 50 years worth of Mountain House Freeze Dried Food and an Underground Hydroponic Farm for growing produce into the next century. LOL.
Even if he just has an average Bunker though, its unlikely that unless he makes a HUGE mistake and gets caught out in the open making a Speech that the Mossad will be able to take him out quickly. How LONG can he keep his war machine rolling with fuel and ammo? Can he hold his OWN Oil fields Hostage, and threaten the Brits and Frogs that if they try to get him he will blow the wells to Kingdom Come? El-Kabong is CLEARLY psycho enough to do this, you would have to believe he would do it.
Meanwhile, over in Saudi Arabia, its heating up fast as well. Despite the Diktat from the House of Saud that all demonstrations are Illegal under Sharia Law and political opponents being arrested and tortured willy nilly, there is a big Demonstration planned for Friday, and I suspect this will get the ball really rolling in Saudi Arabia as well. The Saudi Royalty has been watching all the shit go down all around them, so I cannot see them tolerating any kind of large demonstration. If there is one, I suspect the Saudis will go in and hit them hard and fast. This won't work to stop the problem, it will make it worse and then Saudi Arabia goes down the same road as Libya. I certainly cannot see the House of Saud picking up and leaving quietly like the Hoser did from Egypt. Like el-Kabong, those Sheiks know if they cannot hold onto Power there, they are FINISHED, all their wealth goes Bye-Bye as the "Authorities" at the BIS freeze all their accounts. They'll be back to Camel driving.
So, bottom line here, possibly in as short a time span as one month or so from RIGHT NOW, we could see along with Libya in full on Civil War, Saudi Arabia in much the same predicament. This basically completes the path of Anarchy and War stretching from Morocco in North Africa all the way across to Pakistan, easily triple the geographical area of Europe in WWII. This by itself is World War, but does not even take into account the shit going on between the Koreas, the shit going on in Chechnya, and the shit going on down on the Mexican Border, along with all the shit going down in Ecuador, Venezuela, Colombia et al. Its WORLD WAR III folks, its here. So far YOU are still somewhat insulated from this anarchy, but its Coming Soon to a Theatre Near You in some fashion.
What will the "fashion" be that the Big Show comes to your Theatre? Well, remembering back to WWII, the Battles all occurred over in Europe and North Africa and China and in the Pacific Islands. We did not get Bombed over here, but we did have serious rationing. At the moment, for the most part it looks like that scenario gets repeated, but as I indicated in a prior post, it looks to be worse rationing this time because we do not have our own local supply of Oil in sufficient quantity to keep all the systems developed since running and we have a much larger population.
The Austerity required this time around here in the FSofA to support the War Machine I think will be too great for the society to bear, and so as this progresses we also will break down into Civil War. This isn't going to happen overnight, its still likely a couple of years away. Still, you have to remember that down in Mexico they are already about in full anarchy as Cantarell stops producing, and this can only mean the border issues down in TX and AZ will increase. If/when we start having Blackouts/Brownouts in the Big Shities, the FSA in these Shities will take the opportunity to start Looting. Mad Max commences shortly thereafter. Forget subsisting on Grasshoppers and Mealworms, if you expect to survive in the Big Shities, you will need to develop a taste for Human Flesh. Stock up plenty of Curry, all meat tastes the same when Curried, just ask any Chef in an Indian Restaurant. Cats, Dogs, Mice, 4th Grade Children, Nursing Home residents, whatever, you cannot tell the difference when you load it up with Curry. If/when we get Soylent Green, its about guaranteed it will be flavored with Curry.
Time is definitely RUNNING OUT now to make your ESCAPE. I do not recommend you try to escape outside the borders of the FSofA unless you have contacts and some connection to people wherever it is you are planning on evacuating to and you fit in racially, ethnically and religiously with the dominant population of the area. Do not head for South America unless you speak FLUENT Spanish and/or Portuguese and can pass as Hispanic. Do not head for Asia unless you speak FLUENT Mandarin and are at least half Han Chinese. If you are a White, the only places you should head for are the ones where Whites are dominant. Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Iceland, Finland, the Falkland Islands, Norway, Tasmania, Tristan de Cunha-Edinburgh of the Seven Seas are about the ONLY places I would ever consider as reasonable to try to evacuate to if you were going to leave the FSofA as a White Person. Britain is OUT. Britain is TOAST. The Sun has SET on the British Empire and the little island they Ruled the World from for a while. Ireland might be survivable.
Inside the borders of the FSofA, Numero Uno BEST location for White Folks, ALASKA!!! Ranked in order on the FSofA Top Ten RE Doomer Holes List:
1) Matanuska-Susitna River Valley, Alaska
2) Juneau/Ketchikan Alaska
3) The Valley of the Great Salt Lake, Rocky Mountains Utah (especially if you are a Mormon)
4) Cascade Mountains, Oregon,Washington
5) Ozarks Mountains, Missouri and Arkansas
6) Tennessee Valley, Smokey Mountains
7) Shenandoah Valley, Poconos Mountains
8) Adirondack Mountains, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire
9) White Mountains, New Hampshire, Maine
10) Louisiana Bayou (if you are OK with Sweating all the time)
You can buy some raw land CHEAP in many of these places right now (though not as cheap as it will be in the future, but if you have the money and want to secure the purchase now the prices are not too bad). A good purchase would be Raw Land bordering on a National Park. Much as I do not believe in Land Ownership for myself, I bought 20 Acres bordering on Mark Twain National Forest and put it in my Grand Nephew's Name. Used about half my 401K when I cashed out to make that purchase. He is only 5 years old, but unlike his Dad my Nephew, he has no Debts encumbering him. The Banksters do not Own him yet. He OWNS that land under our current Goobermint and Property Ownership system, Free & Clear. I'll pay the Taxes on it long as I can, it is unimproved hunting land and the taxes are low. My family in Missouri can pack up and go there if things get tough. I have hammered down on them for the last 3 years to Prep Up and be ready to move, I can only hope they will when it becomes necessary, I am too far away otherwise to make a difference for them. As it is, they aren't in a bad zone, Springfield MO is a small city surrounded by a lot of working Farms, I think Springfield will do OK for a while. My Brother-in-Law is a Tool & Die Man, and his company got a contract to supply plumbing fixtures for the building going up on the old WTC site in NYC. Should keep the company going a few more years if the monetary system does not crap out completely. Call me a Hypocrite if you like for doing this, for taking some of my Illuminati Money and BUYING land, but this IS the system and its not changing this minute, so I might as well get rid of the Fiat this way, eh? WTF else would I do with the money anyhow? Buy GOLD? Sorry, I don't need a new Paperweight and besides, I can always go out and pan up some more, it just takes a lot of patience to do it and you get very little each day, but good grief, when its price goes up to $1500/oz, any idiot with a pan can pull up that much in a month of work by a good stream. Tedious work, but not as bad as flipping burgers at Mickey Ds, and while you do it you can ponder on the nature of existence, quite like when you go Ice Fishing. It's not stressful, very relaxing actually.
Of course, you also can only do it for 3 or 4 months or so after the spring thaw, it's not year-round work. I expect though that if the Gold price continues to skyrocket, this summer there will be a LOT of Panners out there. LOL. I am actually considering taking the summer off this year just to Pan, Fish and Hunt. Probably won't do it, but I am considering it. Another alternative I am considering for the summer is touring Doomstead locations in NZ and British Columbia, and maybe making a last trip to Europe before it devolves into complete anarchy (assuming that has not already occurred by June). Another alternative I am considering is taking one last Gas Consumptive Tour of the NA Continent, driving from the Mat Valley across the Al-Can and all the way back to my birthplace in NYC. If it looks like the gas is going to be available for that trip at anything under $5/gallon, I might go for it. Visit tent cities, check out the real stories across the nation. Perhaps make some speeches and talk from the pulpit of some Unitarian Churches across the country. I still have decent connections with the Unitarians, it's the "religion" I was brought up under. If I use the Bugout Machine for it, it probably costs $10K in fuel. There is REAL Hypocrisy for you if I do that one. LOL. But Hell, I am gonna die soon enough anyhow, and the 2000 gallons of gas I use to make this trip isn't going to make a damn bit of difference anyhow globally speaking, so WTF. I think it would be a decent utility of the fuel and my money, to chronicle what I see and write about it. Anyhow, I will decide come around May what I will do this summer. Call this Doomer Vacation Planning.
Anyhow, I have drifted quite a bit in this Rant off the main topic of the evolution of WWIII we are witnessing. I really do not see at this point how anyone could make the case that WWIII is not already in progress when you look at what is currently going on in the M.E. At this MOMENT, it is not really affecting directly most of us here in the FSofA, but it most CERTAINLY is affecting millions if not BILLIONS of people across the M.E. countries. All of these countries are LOADED with the weapons of the Industrial War Machine, in order to Maintain Power Puppets like el-Kabong and the Saudi Sheiks have spent a FORTUNE in Oil money buying the tools of high tech warfare, from the assault rifles to the helicopter gunships to the jets. The system is coming apart at the seams, and now these weapons will be used, one way or the other. It is getting ugly out there NOW, and it is Coming Soon to a Theatre Near You.
See you on the Other Side.

Neymar al Barcelona

|Monday, 19 December 2011 20:41
The injury to David Villa opened a place in the attack dle Football Club Barcelona. The "Guaje" suffered a broken tibia in the game that "Barça" played at the Al Sadd for Club World Cup semifinal with Guardiola that closed a successful 2011 and, despite the presence of Alexis Sanchez, Pep has no variations in this sector of the field. And as if this were not enough, a potential star of world football coach asked him to take you to Catalunya.
Neymar is who among the awards ceremony of the Club World would have said the Barca coach who signed him.
Neymar said at the end of the comparison in a statement to the press.
Geese also
Neymar's partner in Brazil's Santos, Paulo Henrique Ganso, settle for less than it calls for the flamboyant hairstyle ...
Goose is not attacking but if Barca would sign both tried taking a society of future performance and impressive as the two are under 21 years of age.
Here is a brief sample of the talent of Neymar and Goose. Are the names you need for Barcelona for the remainder of the season 2011/2012?

PS3 back up
Ok, there is something slower than the PSN ... the back up utility on the PS3.
I started to back up my 40GB PS3 as I am going to upgrade the HDD. Now I have no music, movies or photos on this PS3. Just game saves, Game date and about 10 downloaded games.
I am using a 16GB USB stick as the back up device as I don't have that much to back up ... my PS3 is telling me it is going take over 9 hours to back up the HDD
That's just insane!
I know others of you have done the HDD upgrade ... did it take so long for you guys?
On a side note: Is there a way to transfer game data (not saves) from one PS3 to another? My son want to play Burnout online with me, but we just don't want to wait another 2 hours to update the other PS3. I could not find a way to do it

That's awful.
This is clearly offtopic, but I have to upgrade the X360 hard drive very soon, like next week or something like that. Are there any known issues with this fast-as-lightning 40min X360 data transfer?
Then anyone heared any rumors if those are going to be cheaper in just near future or getting an upgrade to be larger? Like I seriously don't like playing with the cables all the time.

My guess is that your PS3 is giving you a very bad first estimate.
I was using a USB external hard drive to do the backup, but I can't see how that would affect the times. Not to that extent anyway.
I've occasionally left my PS3 on overnight if a game needs to download a large update. I come back the next morning to find the game running and waiting for me. I'd prefer the PS3 to turn itself off, but the "power off when idle" option doesn't work with game updates, since it's not strictly "idle".
Sony still has a lot of work to do to get these operations up-to-scratch...

Update: I went out an bought an external hard drive. Now the back up only took 30min (10gb back up). So not to bad in the end.
Now I am currently downloading the latest PS3 update as it now needs this to reinstall the PS3 software? Let you know how I go.
Update: Needed to download latest update from SONY website. Note: Save the update on your USB stick in the following folders /PS3/Update. This will save you a lot of swearing time
Total time from back up, to change of HDD, to data restore = 1.25 hours.
Now to play with my new 500GB HDD

Points for PS3 to have a free choice with a hard drive. 140 for a 30 hard disk is a bit, well, ... MS-priced.

SONY need to be applauded for this feature. They obviously understood that space will be a premium as more music, video, games and (soon to be) TV programs are stored by the user.
They did not crap on about piracy issues (which was a thin vale byXBOX for the real reason, if you have to buy proprietary upgrades, the user will pay more) ... they just made the console better, easily upgradeable without compromising the console and removed region locks on games (taking away the only real legitimate reason for modding).
Just some notes regarding the upgrade I did on my PS3;
1) Unlike the guides I saw on the net, you must have a copy of the latest PS3 update on an external device, saved to /PS3/Update. After it installs this update, the restore prosses is as per the examples on YouTube.
2) Don't use the back up you created on another PS3, even if you have the same user accounts on it. I did and although it reinstall the user accounts, it did not transfer any game data. My 60GB PS3 is now empty and I need to download all purchases and updates again. (I am so looking forward to this ... the PSN is so fast! )
3) Once you have installed the new HDD, make sure it is attached to a TV that can handle all the resolution outputs the PS3 can do; in this case the lowest (default) setting. I had it attached to my computer monitor when I was working on it and my monitor stated the output signal was out of range when I turned the PS3 back on.
4) Make sure your PS3 controller is attached to your PS3 via USB cable as it no longer recognizes the controller once you install your new HDD.
5) Be very,very gentle with the screws on the HDD caddy. They are very soft and you will thread the screww heads if you are to forceful. Good news is though, little force is required to move the screws. Also make sure you use the right sized phillips head screw driver, this will reduce the risk of damage to the screws.

At work I use a USB2 to IDE adaptor to backup hard drives with Acronis. The cable was dirt cheap, you can pick them up on ebay for less than £10 delivered and they will do full and laptop IDE drives and SATA all in one.
Basically you just connect the hard drive that you want to back up to one end of the lead and plug the other end into your PC and it shows up as an external hard drive, you can then copy the files to the PC or use imaging software like Acronis or Ghost to make a full image of the drive that you can then dump the image back onto the new drive using the same cable.
I have to do this all the time at work to back up drives running OS/2 that have no other options for backup, it should work just fine for imaging PS3 HD's too as software like Acronis will image any drive regardless of it's format.

SqlException: At least one parameter to the current statement is uninitialized
By divas on Aug 16, 2007
When you do the Using Databound Components to Access a Database tutorial, you learn how to use the Query Editor on the rowset to build the SQL statement to retrieve the desired set of data. You also learn that for every ? (parameter) in your query, you need to call
setObject() on the rowset before the query is executed. Take, for example, the following query.
prerender() method, as shown in the following code example.
public void prerender() { if ( personIdDD.getSelected() == null ) { try { personDataProvider.cursorFirst(); getSessionBean1().getTripRowSet().setObject( 1, personDataProvider.getValue("PERSON.PERSONID")); getSessionBean1().getTripRowSet().setObject( 2, "4"); tripDataProvider.refresh(); } catch (Exception e) { error("Cannot switch to person " + personDataProvider.getValue("PERSON.PERSONID")); log("Cannot switch to person " + personDataProvider.getValue("PERSON.PERSONID"), e); } } }
If you forget to set the parameters before the rendering phase, you usually get the following error.
SqlException: At least one parameter to the current statement is uninitialized.
You will also get an error like this if you do not set all the parameters. Such as only calling
setObject(1, somevalue) when you have two parameters in the query.
Another common error is to forget to edit the query to add the parameters. If you call
setObject(1, somevalue), but your query has no parameters (no ?), you might get an error like the following.
java.lang.NullPointerException at org.apache.derby.client.am.PreparedStatement.checkForValidParameterIndex(Unknown Source)
Similarly, if you call
setObject(2, somevalue) when your query has only one parameter, the server will emit something like the following message.
SqlException: The parameter position '2' is out of range. The number of parameters for this prepared statement is '1'

Laying Out Multiple Table Components
By divas on Jul 02, 2007
You can use the layout components, such as the Group Panel and the Grid Panel, to easily layout and size container components, such as the Table component. In the screen shot above, the two tables on the left are in a Group Panel, and the two on the right are in a Grid Panel. I can resize or move either panel in the Visual Designer, and the contents will resize and move in accordance (they won't resize in the Visual Designer, but they will resize in the client). The trick is to set the width property of each tables to 100% so that they resize based on the size of their container.
Because the Visual Designer does not display the widths of the tables accurately, you have to right-click on the page and choose Preview in Browser to get a feel of how the tables will actually appear in the client.
- Set the Group Panel component's block property to true. This encloses the panel in a
 tag.
- You can set the Group Panel component's separator property to

 to put spacing between the tables.
- Set the Table component's width property to 100%. If you make changes to the table, the IDE may reset this property so keep checking to make sure it is 100%.
- I find it best to leave the Table Column width properties blank or set them at percentage amounts, such as 10%.

Page Fragment Tips
By divas on Jun 22, 2007
7/16/07 Update: Thanks to Antonio, this blog entry is now available in Spanish.
Page fragments enable you to add a particular set of components, action handlers,
and functions to a bunch of web pages. When you add a Page Fragment Box to a
page, you are first given the option of choosing an existing page fragment or
creating a new one, and then the IDE adds a
tag to the main page (the page that includes the fragment). When you create
a page fragment, the IDE adds both a .jspf file and a backing bean
to the project.
<jsp:directive.include> directive is not the same as,
<jsp:include> standard action. The directive causes the
contents of the page fragment to be placed into the main page's
before the
.jsp file is translated into a servlet.
The page fragment's backing bean extends AbstractFragmentBean,
which, unfortunately, does not provide the
preprocess or
methods. It only provides the
init and
destroy methods.
When a person lands on the page from another destination, such as by typing
in the URL or clicking a link, the server instantiates the fragment's backing
bean (and thus calls the
init method) the first time that fragment
is referenced. In general, this is likely to happen during the render response
phase. On a postback (that is, when the page redisplays itself in response to
a page submission) , the fact that the saved component state includes component
bindings to properties in the fragment's backing bean will cause the server
to instantiate the page fragment's backing bean much earlier.
Because the page fragment's
init method can be called early in
the lifecycle,
you cannot reference or set component values in the
init method.
Conversely, a page fragment's
init method might not be called until
during or after the main page's
prerender call. A workaround for
this is to put methods in your page fragements and call those methods from the
main page's prerender. For example, you can add a
method in each of your page fragments. Then for each fragment that you include
in the main page, add code like the following:
public void prerender() { TopFragment topFragment = (TopFragment)getBean("TopFragment"); topFragment.fragmentPrerender(); ... }
Here are some code snippets to illustrate some common page fragment tasks:
Passing Data Between the Main Page and the Page Fragment
You can pass data to a page fragment through the a managed bean (request bean, session bean, application bean), or through function arguments as shown below
In the following snippit, the main page passes information to the page fragment by argument:
public void prerender() { Bike bike = getSessionBean1().getBike(); ... PriceTable priceTable = (PriceTable) getBean("PriceTableFragment"); totalsSubtotalPrice.setText(priceTable.subtotal(bike)); }
Here, the main page sets the values in the request bean, which the page fragment then picks up and uses. This is from a web application where the user selects an item from a drop-down list in the main page, which, in turn, refreshes the trip data provider in the page fragment.
// Page Fragment public void fragmentPrerender() { if (getRequestBean1().getPersonId() != null) { try { getSessionBean1().getTripRowSet().setObject( 1, getRequestBean1().getPersonId()); tripDataProvider.refresh(); } catch (Exception e) { error("Cannot switch to person " + getRequestBean1().getPersonId().toString()); log("Cannot switch to person " + getRequestBean1().getPersonId().toString(), e); } } }
// Main Page public void prerender() { // If not a postback, set the default person if (getRequestBean1().getPersonId() == null) { try { personDataProvider.cursorFirst(); getRequestBean1().setPersonId( (Integer)personDataProvider.getValue("PERSON.PERSONID")); } catch (Exception e) { error("Cannot switch to person " + personDataProvider.getValue("PERSON.PERSONID")); log("Cannot switch to person " + personDataProvider.getValue("PERSON.PERSONID"), e); } } Fragment1 fragment1 = (Fragment1) getBean("Fragment1"); fragment1.fragmentPrerender(); }
Changing Component Properties in a Page Fragment
The main page can access and modify components in the page fragment through the page fragment's bean object, as shown below:
public void prerender() { Navigation navigationFragmentBean = ( Navigation)getBean("Navigation"); Hyperlink homeLink = navigationFragmentBean.getHomeLink(); homeLink.setDisabled(true); }
Determining What Page the Page Fragment is Included In
In this code snippet, the page fragment changes its apperance based on what page it is being displayed in.
public void fragmentPrerender() { // If they are done, show the checkout button String page; String viewId = getFacesContext().getViewRoot().getViewId(); if (viewId == null || viewId.length() == 0 || "/".equals(viewId)) { page = ""; } else { int pos = viewId.lastIndexOf('/'); if (pos == viewId.length() - 1) { // last char in viewId is '/' viewId = viewId.substring(0, pos); pos = viewId.lastIndexOf('/'); } //ok if pos is -1, then pos+1 will be 0 page = viewId.substring(pos+1); } checkoutButton.setRendered(FINAL_ORDER_PAGE.equals(page)); }
Using a Tab Set in a Page Fragment for Navigation
Yossarian, a Creator/NetBeans IDE user, submitted this tutorial to the Creator Community Docs Site: Simple Page Fragment Menu Example.
Dynamically Rendering a Page Fragment Component From the Main Page
Here is a snippit where the main page dynamically renders a tree in a page fragment
public void makeTree() { Fragment2 pgfrag = (Fragment2)getBean("Fragment2"); List children = pgfrag.getDisplayTree().getChildren(); TreeNode personNode = new TreeNode(); personNode.setId("node1"); personNode.setText("Shari Oln"); children.add(personNode); }
Other Examples
In Winston's blog he points to Josh's web site, which uses VWP page fragments to do wonderous things. How about you? Do you have some super page fragment tips to share? If so, post them to the comments below to share with other VWP developers.

Coordinated Drop-Down Lists
By divas on Feb 07, 2007
I have seen a lot of inquiries in the users alias and the forum about how to do coordinated drop-down lists. Coordinated drop-downs are basically a set of nested master-detail records that follow the same pattern that we show in Using Databound Components to Access a Database. With coordinated drop-downs, whenever the user selects a new item from the master drop-down, you need to refresh the list in the detail drop-down.
In the following example, I show how to coordinate drop-down lists that contain data from the Travel database. The first drop-down lists all the PERSON records. The second drop-down shows all the TRIP records for the selected PERSON, and the third drop-down shows all the FLIGHT records for the selected TRIP. Finally, the detail data shows data from the selected FLIGHT.
The trick with coordinating multiple drop-downs, is that you need to trickle down the refreshing of the lists. A change in the first drop-down's selection requires refreshing the second list, which in turn, requires refreshing the third list, and so on.
In this example, I took the easy route. When the user makes a new selection from the PERSON drop-down, I select the first record by default and coordinate the TRIP drop-down by showing all the trips for the first-person. Then, I show all the flights for the first TRIP record, and the detail data for the first FLIGHT record.
- Create your Sun Java Studio Creator (JSC) or NetBeans Visual Web Pack
(VWP) project.
- Drop three Drop Down List components, a Property Sheet
component, and a Message Group component onto the page
in the Visual Designer. The Message Group component
is to help diagnose problems if something goes wrong.
- Select each component and, in the Properties window,
change the id property
as follows, from top to bottom:
- personDD
- tripDD
- flightDD
- Drag the PERSON table from the Travel database (in the Servers
window for JSC, and in the Runtime window for VWP), and drop it
on the personDD Drop Down List component in the Visual Designer.
- Drop the TRIP table on the tripDD component, and drop the
FLIGHT table on the flightDD component.
- Right-click each Drop Down List component and choose Bind
to Data. Make the following selections:
- personDD. Value Field: PERSON.PERSONID, Display Field: PERSON.NAME
- tripDD. Value Field: TRIP.TRIPID, Display Field: TRIP.DESTCITY
- flightDD. Value Field: FLIGHT.FLIGHTID, Display Field: FLIGHT.DEPAIRPORT
- Now, right-click each Drop Down List component and choose
Auto-Submit on Change from the pop-up menu. This will
cause the page to be submitted to the server each time a new
selection is made from any list, and will cause the appropriate
change event handlers to be called.
- Drag the FLIGHT table again, but this time drop it on a
blank spot on the page. A dialog box appears. Choose the radio
button for creating a flightRowSet in the page bean, and click OK.
I chose to put the other queries in the session bean because I didn't want to lose the query data everytime the page is submitted. As the detail data pretty much changes on each submission, I am choosing to put this rowset in the page bean.
- In the Outline window, double-click the SessionBean1 > tripRowSet
node to open it in the Query Editor. In the Query Editor, right-click
on the PERSONID cell in the first column and choose Add Query
Criteria. Select the Parameter radio button, click OK and close
the Query Editor.
- Do the same for the flightRowSet, but add the query criteria
for the TRIPID. Close the Query Editor.
- Now, double-click the flightRowSet in the page bean, add
query criteria for FLIGHTID, and close the Query Editor.
This query is for the detail data.
- Display the page in the Visual Designer (it should be
displayed already), and click Java to
switch to the source editor.
- Add the following code to the bottom, just before the final
end brace:
public void initFlightDropDown() { try { tripDataProvider.cursorFirst(); getSessionBean1().getFlightRowSet().setObject( 1, tripDataProvider.getValue("TRIP.TRIPID")); flightDataProvider.refresh(); } catch (Exception e) { error("Cannot switch to trip " + tripDataProvider.getValue("TRIP.TRIPID")); log("Cannot switch to person " + tripDataProvider.getValue("TRIP.TRIPID"), e); } } public void initFlightDetail() { try { flightDataProvider.cursorFirst(); flightRowSet.setObject( 1, flightDataProvider.getValue("FLIGHT.FLIGHTID")); flightDataProvider.refresh(); } catch (Exception e) { error("Cannot switch to flight " + flightDataProvider.getValue("FLIGHT.FLIGHTID")); log("Cannot switch to flight " + flightDataProvider.getValue("FLIGHT.FLIGHTID"), e); } }
- Add the following code shown in bold to the prerender
public void prerender() { if ( personDD.getSelected() == null ) { try { personDataProvider.cursorFirst(); getSessionBean1().getTripRowSet().setObject( 1, personDataProvider.getValue("PERSON.PERSONID")); tripDataProvider.refresh(); } catch (Exception e) { error("Cannot switch to person " + personDataProvider.getValue("PERSON.PERSONID")); log("Cannot switch to person " + personDataProvider.getValue("PERSON.PERSONID"), e); } initFlightDropDown(); initFlightDetail(); } else { try { // Synchronize data providers with current selections personDataProvider.setCursorRow( personDataProvider.findFirst( "PERSON.PERSONID", personDD.getSelected())); tripDataProvider.setCursorRow( tripDataProvider.findFirst( "TRIP.TRIPID", tripDD.getSelected())); flightDataProvider.setCursorRow( flightDataProvider.findFirst( "FLIGHT.FLIGHTID", flightDD.getSelected())); } catch (Exception e) { error("Cannot switch to selections"); log("Cannot switch to selections", e); } } }
- Click Design in the editing toolbar to switch to the In the Visual Designer.
- Double-click the personDD Drop Down component (the top one)
to cause the IDE
to add a process value change handler for the component. The IDE
switches to the added code. Add the following code shown in bold
to the method:
public void personDD_processValueChange(ValueChangeEvent event) { try { getSessionBean1().getTripRowSet().setObject( 1, personDD.getSelected()); tripDataProvider.refresh(); } catch (Exception e) { error("Cannot switch to person " + personDataProvider.getValue( "PERSON.PERSONID")); log("Cannot switch to person " + personDataProvider.getValue( "PERSON.PERSONID"), e); } initFlightDropDown(); initFlightDetail(); }
- Click Design to switch back to the Visual Designer, double-click
the tripDD Drop Down List component (the middle one)
to create its change event
handler, and add Add the following code shown in bold
to the method:
public void tripDD_processValueChange(ValueChangeEvent event) { try { getSessionBean1().getFlightRowSet().setObject( 1, tripDD.getSelected()); flightDataProvider.refresh(); } catch (Exception e) { error("Cannot switch to trip " + tripDataProvider.getValue( "TRIP.TRIPID")); log("Cannot switch to trip " + tripDataProvider.getValue( "TRIP.TRIPID"), e); } initFlightDetail(); }
- Click Design one more time and double-click the flightDD
Drop Down List component (the bottom one).
Add the following code shown in bold
the change event handler:
public void flightDD_processValueChange(ValueChangeEvent event) { try { flightRowSet.setObject( 1, flightDD.getSelected()); flightDataProvider1.refresh(); } catch (Exception e) { error("Cannot switch to flight " + flightDataProvider.getValue( "FLIGHT.FLIGHTID")); log("Cannot switch to flight " + flightDataProvider.getValue( "FLIGHT.FLIGHTID"), e); } }
- Take a look at the code you have added. The code
in the prerender method first handles the case where
the user first lands on the page and nothing has been selected.
It seeds the drop-down lists with the first record from the PERSON
query and synchronizes queries for the nested detail drop-down lists and
the detail data. If there is a selected person, it synchronizes
the cursor positions in the queries with the drop-down list selections.
The change event handlers synchronize the appropriate detail queries. A change in PERSON selection refreshes the trip, flights, and flight detial queries. A change in TRIP selection refreshes the flights and flight detail queries, and a change in FLIGHT selection refreshes the flight detail query.
- The last thing we need to do is to display some detail information.
Click Design to display the page and, in the Outline window, expand
propertySheet1, expand section1, and select property1 (you can also
select the property1 in the Visual Designer, but I find it easier
to work with the property sheet in the Outline window).
In the Properties window, change the label property
to Airline:.
- Drop a Static Text component on property1 in the Outline window.
- Expand property1, right-click staticText1, and choose Bind
to Data.
- Choose flightDataProvider1 (not flightDataProvider) from
the drop-down list, select FLIGHT.AIRLINENAME, and click OK.
- If you want, you can add more Property components
to the Property Sheet Section,
add Static Text components to the Property components, and bind the
Static Text components
to other columns in the database table, as I did in the above
- Now you are ready to click Run Main Project and test your coordinated drop-downs.

Missing Image Bug
By divas on Jan 30, 2007
I just finished writing a NetBeans Visual Web Pack version of the JasperReports tutorial Generating Reports and PDFs From a Web Application. The NetBeans version should appear on the portal sometime today.
While working on this tutorial, I came across a bug that prevented the company logo from appearing in the HTML output when the application is deployed to version 9 of the Sun Java System Application Server. The bug happens when you request binary data through the FacesServlet, and the fix is in for version 9.1. Ryan and Craig were the engineers who figured out why the problem was happening. They both pointed out to me that the following statement in my code sample, which sets a relative url, is not recommended:
exporter.setParameter(JRHtmlExporterParameter.IMAGES_URI, "image?image=");
The above statement results in following HTML:
By using the relative URL, I was needlessly incurring, for a non-JavaServer Faces entity, the extra overhead that is associated with a JavaServer Faces request. It is better to serve up the image directly, instead of going through the JavaServer Faces lifecycle.
I am pushing out a new version of the Java Studio Creator tutorial today, which shows the correct way to pass the url (which happens to work with Sun Java Application Server 9):
exporter.setParameter(JRHtmlExporterParameter.IMAGES_URI, request.getContextPath() + "/image?image=");
While we are talking about server bugs, a customer wrote to me that they were getting a java.lang.NullPointerException from the javax.faces.component.UIComponentBase class's getRenderer method whenever they use the Table component in web applications deployed to JBoss. This is a known bug, and is documented in the Release Notes. What is happening is that when you create a Visual Web project, the classpath on the container is checked. If the IDE finds a MyFaces implementation, it gives the MyFaces implementation precedence over the JavaServer Faces Reference Implementation libraries. To prevent this problem from happening, delete or move the JBOSS_HOME/server/default/deploy/jbossweb-tomcat55.sar/jsf-lib directory before you create the Visual Web Pack project for that container. This forces the the IDE to bundle the JSF Reference Implementation with the project.
To go back to using the MyFaces run time for running non-Visual Web Pack based applications, follow these steps:
- In the Projects window, right-click the Libraries node and choose Add Library.
- In the Add Library dialog box, select the desired MyFaces binaries.
- Click Add Library.
- Make sure the JSF-RI libraries are not deployed.
- Modify web.xml to include the following:
<listener> <listener-class> org.apache.myfaces.webapp.StartupServletContextListener </listener-class> </listener>

Using the Object Array Data Provider
By divas on Dec 17, 2006
A forum poster recently asked for the following information:
I have a table with 5 columns, (week_no, objective, date1, date2 and add report). How do I get the date for date1( example, today's date)? How do I set the week number as auto increment by 1( example, row 1, the week_no is 1, row 2, the week_no is 2 and so on)? Lastly, how to I set the add report button to link to another JavaServer Pages file?
This scenario gives me an excellent opportunity to show how to use an Object Array Data Provider (OADP). I usually use the Object List Data Provider (OLDP), but OLDPs take a bit more work. (See the Using Hibernate tutorial for an OLDP example.) If you have a simple array of data, the OADP might be the better choice, as in this case. The following steps create a table similar to the one requested in the forum.
- Create a web application named ArrayTableExample.
(If using the Visual Web Pack, be sure to create a Visual Web Application.)
- Create a JavaBeans object for the array. In this example,
I chose to put the week number, start date, and end date in the
bean. In the Projects window, right-click
Source Packages > arraytableexample, choose New > Java Class,
name the class WeekBean, and click Finish.
- Replace the class definition with the following code shown in bold.
/\* \* WeekBean.java \* \*/ package arraytableexample; public class WeekBean extends Object implements Serializable { private int weekNumber; private Calendar startDate; private Calendar endDate; private int dayOfWeek; public WeekBean(int weekNumber) { this.weekNumber = weekNumber; Calendar workingDate = Calendar.getInstance(); workingDate.set(java.util.Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 0); int offset = weekNumber - 1; workingDate.add( Calendar.DAY_OF_YEAR, + (offset \* 7)); dayOfWeek = workingDate.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK); startDate = (Calendar) workingDate.clone(); startDate.add( Calendar.DAY_OF_YEAR, - (dayOfWeek - Calendar.SUNDAY)); endDate = (Calendar) workingDate.clone(); endDate.add( Calendar.DAY_OF_YEAR, + (Calendar.SATURDAY - dayOfWeek)); } public WeekBean() { this(1); } public int getWeekNumber() { return this.weekNumber; } public void setWeekNumber(int weekNumber) { this.weekNumber = weekNumber; } public Calendar getStartDate() { return this.startDate; } public void setStartDate(Calendar startDate) { this.startDate = startDate; } public Calendar getEndDate() { return endDate; } public void setEndDate(Calendar endDate) { this.endDate = endDate; } }
- Right-click in the code and choose Fix Imports. Make sure the
Fully Qualified Name for Calendar is java.util.Calendar, and click OK.
- Close and save the file.
- In this example, we want the table to show the same
data throughout the session, so put the array property
in the session bean. In the Projects window, double-click the Session Bean node to open SessionBean1.java in the source editor.
- Add the following code to the bottom of the class defintion,
just before the ending brace. This code also adds properties
for passing the selected start and end dates to other pages.
/\*\* \* Holds value of property weeks. \*/ WeekBean[] weeks = { new WeekBean(1), new WeekBean(2), new WeekBean(3), new WeekBean(4) }; /\*\* \* Getter for property weeks. \* @return Value of property weeks. \*/ public WeekBean[] getWeeks() { return this.weeks; } /\*\* \* Holds value of property reportStartDate. \*/ private Calendar reportStartDate; /\*\* \* Getter for property reportStartDate. \* @return Value of property reportStartDate. \*/ public Calendar getReportStartDate() { return this.reportStartDate; } /\*\* \* Setter for property reportStartDate. \* @param reportStartDate New value of property reportStartDate. \*/ public void setReportStartDate(Calendar reportStartDate) { this.reportStartDate = reportStartDate; } /\*\* \* Holds value of property reportEndDate. \*/ private Calendar reportEndDate; /\*\* \* Getter for property reportEndDate. \* @return Value of property reportEndDate. \*/ public Calendar getReportEndDate() { return this.reportEndDate; } /\*\* \* Setter for property reportEndDate. \* @param reportEndDate New value of property reportEndDate. \*/ public void setReportEndDate(Calendar reportEndDate) { this.reportEndDate = reportEndDate; }
- Right-click in the code and choose Fix Imports. Make sure the
Fully Qualified Name for Calendar is java.util.Calendar, and click OK.
- Close and save SessionBean1.java.
- View Page1 in the Visual Designer.
- In the Palette, expand the Data Providers section.
- Drag the Object Array Data Provider node and drop it on Page1.
- If the properties for the OADP do not appear in the Properties
window, select Page1 > objectArrayDataProvider1 in the Outline
window to make its properties appear.
- In the Properties window, change the id to weekDataProvider.
- Here is where it starts getting kludgy. You should be able to
choose weeks from the array drop-down list, but
it propably is not appearing at this point. If weeks is
not in the drop-down list, choose Clean and
Build Main Project from the main menu. After the build
completes, close and reopen the project.
- In the Outline window, select Page1 > weekDataProvider.
- In the Properties window, select weeks (SessionBean1) from
the array drop-down list.
- Drag a Table component from the Palette and drop it on
- Right-click the Table component and choose Table Layout.
- In the Table Layout dialog box, choose weekDataProvider
from the Get Table From drop-down list.
- Use the Up and Down buttons to put the values in the
Selected list in the following order:
weekNumber startDate endDate
- (Optional) Set the Header Text values for the columns
to Week, Start Date, and End Date.
- Click New to add another column.
- In the new column, set the Header Text to blank, select Button from the Component Type drop-down list, and
set the Value Expression to Show Me.
- Click OK to dismiss the dialog box.
Again, it gets kludgy. Only one row appears, which says "No items found", and there is no button. Don't worry, it will work out in the end.
- In the Outline window, expand table1 > tableRowGroup1 > tableColumn4,
right-click button1, and choose Edit Action Event Handler.
Page1.java opens in the source editor and scrolls to the newly added button1_action method.
- Add the code shown in bold to the method.
public String button1_action() { getSessionBean1().setReportStartDate( (Calendar)getValue("#{currentRow.value['startDate']}")); getSessionBean1().setReportEndDate( (Calendar)getValue("#{currentRow.value['endDate']}")); return null; }
- Right-click in the code and choose Fix Imports. Make sure the
Fully Qualified Name for Calendar is java.util.Calendar, and click OK.
- Typically, you would set up page navigation to go to
another page to display the report. For simplicity, click Design
and drop
a Static Text component on the page to display the
selected start date.
- Right-click the Static Text component and choose Bind to Data.
- Click Bind to an Object, select SessionBean1 >
reportStartDate, and click OK.
- Click Run Main Project. When the page appears, click the button in each row to verify that the action method returns the right value.

A recap of Wednesday night's open of AFI Docs with Alex Gibney's "Zero Days" and highlights of what's to come.
In one of my several reviews of the "Up" documentaries, I referred to the series as the noblest project in cinema history. I am older now and might refrain from such hyperbole. But we are all older now, and this series proves it in a most deeply moving way.
You know the premise. In 1964, British TV produced a film titled "7 Up," which focused on the lives, hopes and expectations of 14 children. They tended to sort out into upper and working classes. One unspoken question was whether the British class system was fading away.
Every seven years since then, the series has revisited as many of the original 14 who have agreed to continue to participate. Now here is the eighth film, "56 Up." Remarkably, all 14 are still alive. Michael Apted, now a major British director, was a researcher on the first film, took over as director with "14 Up," and has continued ever since. These people are all bonded through the continuity of this remarkable idea, although it's clear here that some of the participants consider this form of fame a mixed blessing.
In the U.K., their faces are well known. Consider Tony (no family names are given). As a kid we saw him working as a groom in a racing stable. Later, he had a brief career as a jockey. When that didn't work out, he "started on the Knowledge," which is what London cabbies call the long process of memorizing more or less every street or landmark in London. The rest of his life he has driven a taxi.
"56 Up" edits together footage from the earlier films to retrace the life of each character. We watch Tony as he grows older, gets married, has children, buys a vacation home in Spain, survives the real estate bust and navigates uncertainties in the taxi business. (When times are good for the Arabs, times are even better for cabbies. When the price of oil goes down, so do their fares.)
Tony recalls that one day he picked up the "spaceman" Buzz Aldrin, who was the second man to walk on lunar soil. As he pulled over his cab, a man in the next car handed him a piece of paper and asked for an autograph. Tony passed it back to Aldrin. "Not him!" said the autograph seeker. "You!"
The character I've come to care and worry about the most over the years is Neil, who is … troubled. He was born in Liverpool and filled with life as a kid, but by 21, something had gone wrong. Since then he has moved through a series of oddly assorted jobs, from home construction to politician. He has never married. He has often been homeless or a step away. He's wandered Britain, living on outskirts, usually involved in something vaguely idealistic. Having won local office on the Liberal Democrat ticket, Neil finds his latest occupation is as a canon in his local Anglican church. "I can do most of the jobs of a priest," he says somewhat ruefully.
Something went wrong with Neil. No telling what. How can we account for Sue, who we met with her pals Jackie and Lynn as students in London's working-class East End. Divorced with two children, she found a secretarial job and rose to a top administration post. We see her speaking to a lecture hall filled with students, and admitting how strange that seems to her, having never attended university herself.
"56 Up" revisits all of their lives, including a scientist now at the University of Wisconsin and a man who dropped out of the series and has now dropped back in, admittedly to promote his band. If there is one lesson we can learn from this film, it is that as we grow older, we tend to grow happier and more successful. As nearly as we can tell, all the subjects have grown wiser, more useful, more pleased with the way things are turning out.
I have no idea what that means. From a statistical viewpoint, it may mean nothing. But here they are in 1964, 7 years old, who Michael Apted pays a call on every seven years. It is a mystery, this business of life. I can't think of any under cinematic undertaking that allows us to realize that more deeply. Even Neil, I believe, has found the sort of happiness he is suited for.
This message came to me from a reader named Peter Svensland. He and a fr...

TUCSON Jennie Finch threw a two hitter and Arizona had little trouble generating its own offense in a 9-1 victory over No. 3 UCLA, shortened by the eight-run rule to five innings. Finch (24-2) allowed an infield single by Natasha Watley that bounced off Finch's ankle in the fourth, and a solo home run by Tairia Mims in the fifth.
No. 2-ranked Arizona improved to 50-7 overall and stayed a game behind Washington in Pac-10 play at 13-4. UCLA dropped to 39-10-1 and 11-6.
The Wildcats scored quickly for the first time this weekend. Lauren Bauer collected her seventh consecutive hit to lead off the first, and stole second. After a Nicole Giordano walk, a Katie Swan single and a sacrifice by Toni Mascarenas, Lindsey Collins homered to left.
Mascarenas' grand slam in the second scored four runs, all unearned, and helped chase UCLA starter Courtney Dale (7-3). UA added its last run on an RBI single by Giordano in the third.
The Pac-10 season concludes this week. Arizona travels to the Bay Area for a game Friday Cats at Stanford and a doubleheader Saturday at California.
The NCAA Softball Committee will select the 48 teams and eight regional
sites for NCAA Championships play Sunday. Arizona is one of a number of
teams which have bid to be a regional host for early rounds play May 19-21.

A cultural event entitled Buleleng Festival (Bulfest) will be held on August 23 to 25. This event will present a combination of the art, culture, education and social environment, which will lead Buleleng to the integration of conservation, creativity, innovation, promotion and branding of Buleleng.
Such cultural extravaganza will include the local arts, contemporary art, household industry, culinary tradition, literature and music. The event held by Buleleng County government aims to inflame the spirit of Buleleng as a source of cultural inspiration and creativity.
The Regent of Buleleng, Putu Agus Suradnyana, when launching the Bulfest at his official residence some time ago said that Bulfest was a creative effort to restore the great name of Buleleng in various fields such as the arts and culture, culinary tradition and craft. "When people are longing for culinary tradition, the arts and crafts in Buleleng, the Buleleng Festival is the right place to visit," he said proudly.
Chairman of the Committee, Gede Suyasa, said the Bulfest activity would take place over three days by using some public facilities as well as the buildings as the venue of performance and exhibition. "The main stage is primarily focused on the area of Singa Ambara Raja statue symbolizing the greatness of Buleleng," said Suyasa doubling as the Head of Buleleng Development Planning Board (Bappeda).
The attraction of the arts and exhibitions, explained Suyasa, gave more emphases to the concept of promotion of distinctive potential of Buleleng either in terms of culinary tradition, culture, crafts and the attractions that had never been shown off before. For example, there was the staging of Teruna Jaya Dance en masse by involving 300 dancers that would dance along the road section from Jalan Ngurah Rai to the Singa Ambara Raja statue and Singaraja City Park.
Other than drawing competition, the exhibition would also feature the old painting made by a maestro from Buleleng, namely Ketut Gede Pemerajan. The painting dated 1906 now stored in the Dutch Museum immortalized the daily life of Buleleng community at that time.
"The painting is brought by at Dutch scholar, Prof. Hedi Hinzler. In his laptop is stored hundreds of photo reproduction of the paintings belonging to Ketut Gede Pemerajan," he said.
The Bulfest activity would turn more vibrant because the Buleleng Culture and Tourism Agency also held a contest entitled Utsawa Merdangga Gong Kebyar. It would be organized on August 23-28 and served as a side event in the Bulfest. "Utsawa Merdangga Gong Kebyar poses a unique art of Buleleng and this will feature the typical gamelan music of Northern Bali like lelonggoran," said the Head of Buleleng Culture and Tourism Agency, Ketut Warkadea.
Meanwhile, Kadek Sonia Piscayanti, one of the committee members said that a variety of art activities would grace the annual event. Music performance by the artists from Buleleng would also jazz up the event such as Mr. Botax, Ayu Laksmi, Ketut Bimbo, Yong Sagita and some others.
Similarly, there would be cartoon contest with the theme "Buleleng is My Pride." The participants involved consisted of high school and college students. In the meantime, the typical cuisines on display would comprise the mangguh kedongkol, tuna skin cracker, jukut blook, fish satay, blayag with broth, dodol konteng, laklak, cerorot, egg bean, catfish peanut brittle, catfish satay and meatballs, sudang lepet, jukut buangit, empol penyalin, empol salak, mengguh, jaja taluh penyu, sirat bendu, jukut ares, sudang lepet, jukut undis, lempog, and plengos ikan.
The craft exhibition would feature the works of Buleleng such as the handicrafts made of bamboo, metal, aluminum, wood, coconut shells, woven sticks, weaving, leather puppet, fish leather, glass painting and endek clothes. "It will also be graced by bleganjur gamelan presentation, fashion show, gong kebyar, human puppet, music and poetry. (BTN/015)

Health Status > Adolescents
In 2004, 22.5 percent of youth aged 12 to 17 years
received mental health treatment or counseling in the past year,
which includes treatment or counseling for emotional or behavioral
problems not caused by drug or alcohol use. The rate in 2004 represented
an increase over the previous years rate of 20.6 percent. Overall,
there was little difference by age group or race and ethnicity;
however, females were more likely than males to receive treatment
(25.0 versus 20.1 percent). The treatment rate among males declined
with age, while the rate among females increased with age. Youth
with lower family incomes were more likely to receive treatment
that those with higher family incomes.
Among youth who received mental health treatment
or counseling, 33.6 percent used illicit drugs in the past year.
Illicit drug use among those receiving treatment was most common
among 12- to 13-year-olds (38.5 percent), and least common among
16- to 17-year-olds (31.4 percent). Females receiving mental health
treatment were far more likely than males to report past year illicit
drug use (41.6 versus 25.6 percent).
Depression was the leading reason reported for
mental health treatment among 12- to 17-year-olds. Other common reasons
for treatment included breaking rules or acting out (27.5 percent),
feeling very afraid or tense (20.9 percent), and suicidal thoughts
or attempts (18.5 percent). Survey respondents were able to report
more than one reason for seeking treatment.
The most common source of mental health treatment
among those youth receiving treatment was a school counselor or
psychologist, or regular teacher meetings (46.7 percent). Also common
was a private source, such as a therapist or psychologist (45.0
percent). Use of a partial day hospital or treatment program was
reported by 7.8 percent of youth receiving treatment, and an overnight
or longer stay in a residential treatment center was reported by
5.3 percent. Youth receiving treatment could indicate any number
of 10 possible sources of care.

Sean Carrigan's role on 'The Young and the Restless' is evolving in ways that weren't initially apparent. Such is the case with all engaging daytime storylines. Of course, strong range always makes actors appealing to the audience as well.
Consistent on-screen chemistry between Carrigan and the ever-great Amelia Heinle 'Victoria Newman' has forged YR's emerging power couple. Heinle developed her daytime chops as 'Mia Saunders' on 'All My Children' more than a decade ago. Her dramatic turns during the last six months included visions of three 'Billy Abbott's', but only one 'Stitch'.
Modern soap fans apply cheeky social media monikers to noteworthy pairs. So, it fit when Victoria and 'Stitch' naturally became 'Vitch'. Even 'Victor Newman' (Eric Braeden) approves, for now.
Acting, producing and writing taps into a deep skill set. Carrigan's entertainment background clearly reflects the heart of someone who approaches his craft seriously and is succeeding as a result. Each resume item surely combined to make him the right choice to play 'Ben Rayburn' starting in 2013.
Fans recently learned that Genoa City Memorial Hospital may soon need to adjust this busy doctor's name on its payroll records. 'Dylan McAvoy's' (Steve Burton) military buddy isn't who he said he was, as 'Kelly Andrews' (Cady McClain) recently relayed to her on-again, off-again boyfriend 'Jack Abbott' (Peter Bergman). The fierce emotion McClain's character exhibited during that office conversation underscored the depravity of whatever her brother did.
It's understandable that fans can often read into the script. That's part of the fun all enduring soap operas offer. Yet, they shouldn't believe that the author of this digital page created an article simply because he shares a first name with the actor who plays 'Stitch'. No, today's scene was written because Carrigan's respected efforts are helping to develop another solid character on one of the genre's greatest shows.
