| Prince Turki joined Saudi students at VCU in the Ardha the traditional Saudi sword dance
Thank you, for the kind introduction. I appreciate the invitation to be here today, and the warm welcome I have received from President Trani and Mohammad Almutery. Again, thank you.
I will speak for a bit on Saudi history and culture, and then I will be open to any questions you have.
I am always pleased to have an opportunity to speak before students like yourselves. Your minds are open to the world. And you're being taught by excellent professors, like those here at VCU.
Unfortunately, out in the world, the news media and popular culture provide a poor window through which people learn about life in foreign countries. I can tell you they don't show the whole picture of Saudi Arabia.
During the last several months, as I travel throughout the United States, I have found that there are still people out there who believe Saudis ride to work on camels, that our women are all oppressed and chained to the kitchen, and that our countryside is only filled with gushing oil wells.
Saudi Arabia is, indeed, a unique country, but our reality defies our stereotypes. We are a burgeoning society, striving for modernization. Believe me, ladies and gentlemen, a great deal has been going on under the desert sun – and our history proves this.
Saudi Arabia, in the official sense, is a young country, almost 75 years old. But the Saudi political order traces its origins back to 1744, some 32 years before the American Revolution, when the first Saudi state was established by unifying the tribes of the Arabian Peninsula. And, like modern Saudi Arabia, it was governed on the basis of the Islamic Shari'ah and Arab tribal custom.
The modern Saudi state, which was founded in 1932, evolved from this blending of order, unity, and Islamic legitimacy. And at the heart of it lies a social contract between the sovereign and the people. Islam enjoins on the ruler to protect the religion, safeguard the people, and provide justice for all. Bedouin tradition regards the ruler as a first among equals. He is judged by his ability to provide leadership and preserve unity.
Even today, the King rules by consent, and virtually no important decision is taken by him without extensive consultation with the various elements of society. His sole goal is to promote the welfare of his people.
When King Abdulaziz, the founder of the modern Saudi state, wanted to introduce radio broadcasting to the Kingdom in the 1940s, a number of prominent citizens opposed the idea. They felt radio would be disruptive to society and would cause the faithful to deviate from the path of righteousness. In short, they said, radio was the work of the devil.
By virtue of his position, King Abdulaziz could have forced the issue on society. But what he did instead was assemble those same notables who opposed radio broadcasting, and, at the time of prayer, turned the radio on. When the recitation of the Qur'an was heard through the radio, King Abdulaziz asked those assembled: "How could the work of the devil carry the word of God?"
The late King Abdulaziz indicated to them that the radio would be used to educate the faithful about their religion and about the world. Once he established that the radio could be beneficial to society, the rest was simply a matter of programming.
If we look at where Saudi Arabia is today, the Saudi government still strives to strike this balance – to provide for the welfare of our people while obtaining a consensus from our citizens about what they can manage. And we have been successful.
During the last 30 years, we have built the infrastructure to support a modern society. The wealth derived from our natural resources has been used to develop our nation. The government has put in place a social welfare system that takes care of its citizens: free education, free health care, interest-free mortgages for first-time homebuyers, interest-free loans for small businesses, and subsidies for farmers.
Such support has produced a great deal of development in the Kingdom in recent years. We have hospitals and schools, skyscrapers and malls, highways and airports – where a few decades ago only desert existed. Saudi surgeons are pioneering new techniques to separate conjoined twins and perform organ transplants. Saudi women are opening businesses in new industries every day, and they now have ownership stakes in almost 25,000 companies in the Kingdom.
Last year the Saudi stock exchange set records, and is now, by far, the largest emerging market in the world, with a market capitalization exceeding $700 billion. Technology has been integrated into our society and economy, and is driving our performance. In the last five years, internet usage has grown by more than 1,000 percent, and this year, we are sending into space six communications and observation satellites.
Our nation is taking off, and we are reaching out to the world around us.
But as we continue to build our society and actively participate in the global community, we are making sure we are doing so in a way that is consistent with our traditions. We may have modern technology and all the worldly goods that come along with it. But what are we as a nation in the eyes of the world, if we trade on our values?
One of Saudi Arabia's most significant steps to participating in the global economy was to join the World Trade Organization last December. As a consequence, more Saudi products will have access to the global marketplace, creating jobs and opportunities for our citizens. And it will also encourage more international investments and products to come to the Kingdom. The WTO accession process took Saudi Arabia 13 years to complete, but it was critical that every last condition was met without undermining our faith, values and tradition.
The building of a global community does not mean that all countries must be alike. Rather, it means we are all able to engage this shared system in our own way.
A good example of this is that all forms of governments are not the same. And the pursuit of participatory government does not have to be uniform. It comes in many shapes and forms: the American system, the British system, the Indian system, and so on. In Saudi Arabia, we are forming our own system.
Last spring, Saudi Arabia conducted elections in 178 municipal councils throughout the Kingdom. And in December, the councils officially convened for the first time. These elections are only a step in the Kingdom's continuing efforts to ensure that the government provides for the needs of its people. We are changing, but in a way that is consistent with our traditions and faith, and at a pace that is not disruptive to our society.
Our heritage dictates that our plans should be studied and meaningful. We have learned, over the centuries, that in order to survive in the desert, we must be able to differentiate between a mirage and reality.
So the pursuit of successful and lasting change must be deliberate to be real. The formation of municipal councils and the corresponding elections represent an important step in the Kingdom's ongoing efforts to broaden political participation. And there are more steps ahead.
Participating fully in the global community also requires that we be honest and transparent with each other about our concerns. Our special relationship with the United States, for example, does not preclude our having special differences. As long as we are open in our communication, we will be rewarded by a variety of outlooks and solutions, and a process that can only bring us closer.
We are working very closely with the US to find solutions to many complex issues facing the world today – including the war on terrorism, peace in the Middle East, and a stable energy market, among others. Our distinct viewpoints provide us with the unique perspectives needed to obtain greater understanding and lasting solutions to these issues. It is important that your generation is aware of the complexity of these issues, because you will soon be playing a role in their resolution.
Ladies and gentlemen, I hope this has provided you with a good overview of where Saudi Arabia has come from and where it is today. I would be happy now to answer any question you may have. Thank you.

Case IH's new Axial-Flow combines boast new technology, a new look, and a diverse six-model range which ensures the right sized machine for every operation.
The range, launched globally this week, includes the 88 Series and the 20 Series, each with three models. The 88 Series includes the Axial-Flow 5088 and 6088, which replace Case IH's Axial-Flow 2577 and 2588 machines, as well as the completely new 7088 model. In the 20 Series, the 7120 and 8120 replace the Axial-Flow 7010 and 8010, while the 9120 is a new model – and also the largest single rotor combine offered in the industry.
"With six models each offering increased harvesting capacities, there's an option to suit every cropping and contracting operation," says Case IH Hay and Harvest Manager, Geoff Rendell. "There's no need to settle for a machine that doesn't have the capacity you require, or to buy greater capacity than you need. This extensive range means you can really hone in on the ideal machine for your own requirements."
The new range has been developed from the ground up to deliver the latest technology and innovations. "We've redeveloped the chassis, the engine, the drive system, the axle: this is not a skin-deep makeover. The 88 series machines are a completely new design and all of the models in both the 88 and 20 series are B100 approved, which means they can be run on up to 100 per cent biodiesel.
"The machines have been thoroughly tested in Australia to ensure they stand up to our tough and unique operating conditions. We've tested the range extensively over thousands of hectares in legumes, sorghum, wheat, barley and canola crops from Victoria to Central Queensland and these machines have proven they're top performers in Australian conditions."
While the machines deliver a host of new features and the latest technology, they're still built around the core principles that have provided Australian farmers and contractors with excellent grain samples and low running costs for over 30 years.
"The key to the Axial-Flow combine has always been a single rotor that threshes, separates, and creates a vacuum of air that helps provide a clean operating environment. The single, in-line rotor offers gentle, crop-on-crop threshing that results in more whole kernels, fewer cracked grains and substantially less foreign material in the sample," Geoff says.
He says growers thinking about buying a new Case IH combine would be well advised to place their orders now. "The Australian dollar has been very strong in recent times but it does look to be weakening somewhat. By ordering now, customers can lock in a good price, as well as ensuring they're at the head of the line for what we expect to be a very popular range."
Case IH 88 Series
The 88 Series is designed to harvest more crops with lower operational costs.
Case IH 88 Series Axial-Flow combine models include:
• 5088 – 5.1m2 cleaning system, 8810 litre gain tank capacity and 216 max kW (290 max HP)
• 6088 – 5.1m2 cleaning system, 10,570 litre grain tank capacity and 246 max kW (330 max HP)
• 7088 – 5.1m2 cleaning system, 10,570 litre grain tank capacity and 280 max kW (375 max HP)
Design changes to the 88 Series include a 15 per cent increase in the clean grain elevator capacity and the 6088 and 7088 have a larger rotor belt drive to handle the higher crop throughput. All three models come with standard in-cab sieve adjustment and Terrain Tracker offering lateral tilt of up to five degrees. The three models also feature automatic crop settings and come standard with the Case IH AFS Pro 600 monitor providing machine performance and guidance (if equipped) on one single, easy to operate touch screen. The 5088 and 6088 models are powered by an 8.3L CDC engine; while the 7088 is powered by a 9.0L CDC engine.
Unload rates have increased to 106 litres (three bushels) per second on the 6088 and 7088 and quick-folding grain tank extensions are standard. "When you fold down the extensions, the auger folds down, too, for easy transport and storage," Geoff says. The 5088 features a 6.4 m (21 foot) unloading auger, while the 6088 and 7088 have a standard 7.3m (24 foot) unloading auger.
The new 88 Series also includes a longer wheel base and enlarged front axle tube. "The new longer wheelbase allows operation of wider heads without requiring rear ballast and also allows for larger rear tyre equipment which reduces ground compaction," Geoff says.
"The 5088 and 6088 are designed for customers who want excellent productivity from a mid-range capacity machine, with new styling, controls and instrumentation. The 7088 is perfect for growers and contractors who require more productivity from a standard, mid-sized machine
Case IH 20 Series
The Case IH 20 Series Axial-Flow line up for 2009 includes:
• 7120 - 5.4m2 cleaning system, 11,088 litre grain tank capacity and 310 max kW (415 max HP)
• 8120 - 6.5m2 cleaning system, 12,330 litre grain tank capacity and 345 max kW (463 max HP)
• 9120 - 6.5m2 cleaning system, 12,330 litre grain tank capacity and 390 max kW (523 max HP)
All Case IH Axial-Flow 20 Series combines feature operator-selectable power modes, for either a full-time power rise whenever crop conditions demand it, or an extra Power Boost for unloading on-the-go. "We can generate a remarkable 43 HP Power Boost on the new 9120," says Geoff.
Grain tanks on the 7120, 8120 and 9120 models are equipped with quick-folding bubble-up auger and grain tank extensions. A 7.3 m (24 foot) unloading auger is standard on all three models and is capable of unloading at 113 l/sec.
Like the 7010 and 8010 models, the 20 series is the only combine on the market to utilise shaft drives for the rotor, feeder house and cutting platform. "No belts, a reversing rotor and the ability to clear blockages from within the cab are great features for farmers and contractors. It means you can really push the machine to the limit without the fear of hours of down time removing blockages by hand."
The 20 Series features a standard, hydraulically driven cleaning fan which is forward speed synchronised to maintain effectiveness. "All models have an end-of-row function that can reduce the fan speed when raising the front, thereby reducing lost grains during turning when the combine runs empty."
All models in the 20 Series are powered by Case IH engines, matched to suit power demands. The 7020 features an 8.9 litre engine, the 8020 is powered by a 10.3 litre engine and a proven 12.9 litre unit powers the all-new 9120. These engines are common with other products in the Case IH line, simplifying parts stocking and making the most of dealer technician training.

MEDINA — A mother accused of trying to smother her 6-year-old son with a pillow has pleaded guilty to reduced charges as part of a plea deal.
Terry Boyle, 32, now of Cleveland but formerly of Medina, pleaded guilty Thursday to child endangerment in exchange for prosecutors dropping charges of attempted murder and felonious assault.
Medina County Common Pleas Judge Christopher J. Collier set her sentencing hearing for May 19.
Boyle faces up to three years in prison — reduced from 11 or more under the original charges.
"We dismissed charges so the son wouldn't have to testify against his mom," county Prosecutor Dean Holman said.
"It would be a difficult case to try and prove."
Boyle was arrested in July after her counselor at Alternative Paths, a behavioral health care agency in Medina, called police after Boyle said she felt "homicidal" toward her son, according to records.
Psychiatrists are "mandated reporters" under Ohio law, meaning they must alert police when they suspect a child might be in danger.
Following her indictment in August, Boyle's family started an online petition to get her acquitted. She told online readers she put a couch pillow over her son's head "for a split second" to stop him from fighting with his 4-year-old sister.
The petition later was closed down with 79 signatures after county Common Pleas Judge James L. Kimbler recused himself from her case, saying he'd received emails against his will every time someone signed the petition.
Boyle is free on 10 percent of a $500,000 bond.

Secondhand smoke (SHS) has been linked with health problems such as heart disease, heart attack, lung disease, lung cancer and some other cancers. Childhood exposure to SHS can lead to upper respiratory infections, breathing problems, ear infections, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) and even behavioral problems and learning difficulties. Pregnant women exposed to SHS have increased risk of having a baby born too small, too soon or having a baby die of SIDS.
Exposure to SHS is a preventable cause of many illnesses and deaths. Policies to stop smoking indoors reduce exposure to SHS, can reduce the number of cigarettes smoked each day and increase the number of smokers who quit.
In fact, many smokers choose to quit in order to protect their family members, friends, co-workers and others from the health hazards of SHS.
Secondhand smoke is the smoke that comes from a lit tobacco product, including the smoke that comes from the burning end and the smoke exhaled by the person smoking.
The U.S. Surgeon General released a report in 2006 called The Health Consequences of Involuntary Exposure to Tobacco Smoke which explains all the known health risks of SHS and states, "there is no known safe level of exposure to SHS."

We know that further development of Flash for Android is dead, but that doesn't mean they won't continue to make the already existing app better and more secure for current users. Plus, they have told us that there will be an updated version for Ice Cream Sandwich available. Today, Adobe has just released an updated Adobe Flash complete with some more security fixings and patches. (more…)
Adobe: Both Flash Player 11 and Adobe AIR to Support Galaxy Nexus in December
The Samsung Galaxy Nexus may not support Adobe Flash 11 or AIR yet, but it will at some point in December according to the latest blog post from the Flash team. We were informed a week ago that they would bring support by the end of the year to Flash, so this matches up to that report while also tossing in an Adobe AIR mention. After both of these apps are updated though, don't expect to see many more. With development halted on mobile platforms, we'll have to look to community developers to make versions available to newer devices.
Adobe: Flash Player Coming to Ice Cream Sandwich by End of 2011
With Adobe's announcement that they would no longer develop for their mobile version of Flash, questions of whether or not it would work on Ice Cream Sandwich were raised. Would we ever see it supported on ICS? Would our brand new Galaxy Nexus phones be Flash-less? What? According to an Adobe spokesperson, there will be one more release on Android that include support for Android 4.0 and it should be out by the end of the year.
Adobe will release one more version of the Flash Player for mobile browsing, which will provide support for Android 4.0, and one more release of the Flash Linux Porting Kit – both expected to be released before the end of this year. After that time, Adobe will continue to provide critical bug fixes and security updates.
And that pretty much settles that issue. All good now on the Flash front?

Google Maps and Adobe Flash Receive Updates – Live Events for Maps, One of the Last for Flash
A couple of updates to some of our favorite apps are available in the market as I type this. Google Maps jumped to version 5.12.0 and includes live event listings in Places pages for some major global players like New York, San Francisco, Paris, Zurich and London. The GMaps team also removed the "Post to Twitter" option from reviews in Places – is it just me or does that seem really odd? Anyone taking bets on a G+ sharing option soon?
The other update is for Adobe's Flash Player 11, which as you all know, has essentially been given the ax going forward. In build 22.214.171.124, we see "performance improvements and bug fixes" that have to do with security and stability. That's it.
Is this the last Flash update that we will ever see? Tough to tell. I can't imagine that Adobe would stop putting out security fixes as they are needed. We just won't be seeing anything new that you would write home to your mother about.

Cheers to everyone who sent this!
Adobe Stops Development of Flash for Mobile Browsers, And It's Official
Just what you wanted, bad news to start your Wednesday, right? It's official, my friends. Last night, rumors swirled about, claiming that Adobe was going to ax Flash for mobile browsers and within the last hour, they made that official. Their goal is to continue to push out security fixes for the current build that is available, but will no longer develop Flash to work with new device configurations. Pretty disappointing news. So, it's not going away for good, it just won't be developed further.
Our future work with Flash on mobile devices will be focused on enabling Flash developers to package native apps with Adobe AIR for all the major app stores. We will no longer continue to develop Flash Player in the browser to work with new mobile device configurations (chipset, browser, OS version, etc.) following the upcoming release of Flash Player 11.1 for Android and BlackBerry PlayBook. We will of course continue to provide critical bug fixes and security updates for existing device configurations. We will also allow our source code licensees to continue working on and release their own implementations.
Personally, I like having the full web experience (in an on-demand state of course). I like watching embedded video and not having to launch a separate video player. Overall, I actually like Flash. While I'll admit that Flash has performance issues that are evident on just about any platform, I still don't want to see it go from mobile devices.
I'm sort of at a loss for words here – just tell me your thoughts? Will this affect you at all? Were you a big Flash user on your mobile device?

Cheers to everyone who spotted this last night!
Adobe Flash Player 11 is Live in the Android Market (Updated: AIR Too)
Adobe wasn't messing around when they told us that Flash Player 11 would be released tonight on Android. It might not have Stage3D built in just yet, but it's still an upgrade. Go get it folks!
Update: Adobe AIR 3 is available as well.
Adobe Photoshop Touch Coming to Android in November, Showcased on Samsung Prototype Tablet (Updated)
Adobe Photoshop Touch was just demoed on stage here at Adobe MAX, dropping quite a few jaws and grabbing enough cheers to get us excited. I actually booked it immediately after the on-stage walk-through over to Samsung's booth to get some hands-on time with it and I've got to say, that this is going to be one cool tool when it launches in November. As a piece of software that won't be here for another month, it was very polished, easy to navigate, and powerful. While I am by no means a PS pro, I saw every tool, brush, and setting that gets me through my day.
The tablet that Adobe is using to showcase it on is a prototype from Samsung that they won't reveal much on (no it's not running Ice Cream Sandwich). It was built specifically for their new pen technology that is pressure sensitive and allows you to draw, erase and choose colors in a jiff. In fact, we aren't sure this model will ever make it to stores, but the idea of this type of pen experience on a tablet is intriguing.
The app will run $9.99 when it is released.
Update: In the Adobe executive team Q&A that is going on right now, one question brought up the idea of plug-ins to Photoshop Touch. Would there ever be any? As of now, there are no plans, but you get the feeling that Adobe has already thought about it and will possibly introduce them in the future. They did point out though, that tablets right now are where PCs were 5 years ago. What they mean by that is that we have a long way to go before tablets can even come close to what we can currently do on a computer. Could plug-ins come in the next year? Possibly. I think NVIDIA's quad-core processor is a step towards this happening.
Update 2: In case anyone was wondering, all of their new Touch apps were built in Adobe AIR.
Press release, including their other new Touch apps below. (more…)
Adobe Flash 11 and AIR 3 Available Tonight
Adobe has announced that Flash Player 11 and Adobe AIR 3 will be made available later tonight around 9PM Pacific or midnight for you east coasters. Both releases will eventually bring major improvements that will help to revolutionize the way we game and consume content across multiple mobile platforms. With this initial release though, we won't see Stage3D, which is the major component to bringing hardware accelerated 2D and 3D graphics that can do upwards of 60 frames per second.
So for now, we'll just have to look forward to these releases as stability and speed enhancers over 10.3 with the console-quality gaming to come at a later date. (more…)

Open for less than a year, this urban chic salon has a cool vibe that meshes well in its up-and-coming Brooklyn neighborhood.
From Numbers to NailsDuring her 10 years building a career in finance, Terri Streat had a passion for the beauty industry. In 2010, she redirected her path to open a salon in Brooklyn. Armed with her business management skills and a newly acquired license in nail technology, Posh BK opened its doors in March 2011. Streat recruited Debra Pakeman, a long-time friend and nail tech, who moved across the country to help manage the salon. Pakeman is a pivotal part of the business, providing over 15 years of industry experience. Pakeman performed my ultra-relaxing CND Tantalizing Citrus Spa Manicure, topped with OPI Shatter.
A Salon Grows in BrooklynWhen looking for a location, Streat found Crown Heights to have many signs of revitalization: a gentrifying area with a mix of young, old, and new families; recent growth in small businesses; and residents with a desire to patronize locally. Streat answered that need with Posh's menu of natural nail care and waxing services. Clients are greeted by Posh's brick interior, which was preserved from the building's original architecture. The space was designed to be familiar to clients who live in the brownstones Brooklyn is known for.
Sanitation and SweetsIn her research, Streat found that for other local nail salons, sanitation seemed low on the list of priorities. At Posh, every implement is double sanitized, or disposed of, and each client leaves with a charmingly wrapped "care package" including file, pusher, and buffer. Streat opted for pipe-less pedicure spas and the staff explains the benefits to new clients. Still, as important as sanitation is at Posh, there is no lack of fun: the drying counter has candy bowls, encouraging clients to leave with a little something sweet.
Fun Facts:> On the day I visited, Posh was the venue of a Pretty Little Princess Spa Day. Little ladies brought in by moms and family members were given a complimentary manicure or pedicure and treated to cupcakes and refreshments. The princesses of Crown Heights left with sparkling tiaras and brightly colored fingers and toes.> Streat and Pakeman are keenly aware of the tandem relationship between marketing and networking. Streat believes in a grassroots approach to reaching clients with community events and co-op promotions. Yet they are also aware of the part social networking plays in the success of a new business. Clients can follow the salon on Twitter and "like" its Facebook page for information on upcoming events, new products, and service specials.> The Crow Hill Community Association provided the planter that accents the salon's storefront, one of the many ways the 25-year-old organization shows support for up-and-coming businesses.

News from Grailsland
By schmidtm on Mrz 20, 2008
The past
Last year November Martin Adamek and me started to work on a full-featured set of modules to support the Groovy programming language and the grails application server. After being quite impressed (and a little bit depressed) about the feature-set of the Intellij Groovy/Grails plug-in, we wanted to create something similar for NetBeans.
One key responsibility of all OpenSource projects is to carefully look around what's already out in the world. Re-use of existing sourcecode and/or leveraging existing libraries is a given in this culture. Therefore we started off our work by using the existing, but inactive coyote plug-in. Doing a language plug-in. with an extensive feature-set comparable to the Intellij plug-in. goes way beyond the scope of the otherwise very helpful Schliemann framework.
This left us with the cumbersome tasks of coding everything from scratch against the NetBeans Editor API. Luckily we soon discovered Tor Norby's GSF Framework. GSF's purpose is to help creating exactly what we were about to create - A new scripting language support module. GSF really achieves this goal and has been one of the reasons, why we are able to develop so many features in such a short period of time.
Here are the modules and there main duties:
Collection of helper- and utility classes alongside the Customizers.
Editing Groovy sourcecode files. All the bells and whistles like syntax-highlighting, folding resides here.
Support for editing Groovy server pages files (GSP).
Here's all the code interfacing with an ex-process grails server. Architecture-specific execution of the "grails <target>".
Support for the new NetBeans project type "Grails-Project" together with all visual components like Wizards, Actions, Node-renderers and the like.
Wrapper module for the ones above to show-up as a single entity in NetBeans PluginManager.
The present
NetBeans 6.1
Initially we started in NetBeans old CVS trunk which soon became NetBeans 6.0. We soon realized, that we need to use some new API's, therefore the suite of modules needs NetBeans 6.1 as a minimum.
Please use the daily snapshots from the NetBeans source-repository continous integration system (Hudson), which can be found here:
By using these builds, you are going to get all the pre-configured development UpdateCenter which include our modules.
... Or work with the NetBeans sources from the mercurial repository:
and build it yourself (it is easy!, No really it is, no one forced me to write this.)
Here's a great description, how to do this:
The Modules
The Plug-ins are available from the UpdateCenter, therefore just go to:
Tools > Plug-ins > "Available Plug-ins" > "Groovy and Grails"
and install them.
The sourcecode for the Groovy/Grails modules lives in the "contrib" repository:
contrib repository webinterface
there are six subdirectories starting with "groovy.\*".
If you build them in this order:
- groovy.support
- groovy.editor
- groovy.gsp
- groovy.grails
- groovy.grailsproject
- groovy.kit
using ant:
ant -f groovy.\*/build.xml
you have them automatically up and
running the next time you start NetBeans.
So what are you getting by using these modules? Pictures entering the stage:
- Method-completion including JavaDoc
display for Groovy and Java:
- Code Folding of Groovy sourcfiles:
- Starting, stopping of Grails-Server:
- Importing existing Grails projects.
Well arranged display of project structure:
- Groovy/Grails module settings
integrated into NetBeans options dialog:
- Marking of sourcecode errors:
- Easy navigation of Groovy sourcecode
by using a navigator view:
- Customizing of Grails Environment and
Serverport. Auto-deploy to Glassfish Appserver:
- Starting common grails-tasks from
context menu:
- Status of running grails server
displayed in status-line:
- Syntax Highlighting:
I would love to get feedback about this project. No matter how much planning one is doing, at the end of the day the software should be used and should be usable for real live users. Therefore I'm bleeding to get your feedback. What you like, what you don't like, what you think we should implement. Ideally, you file your bugs and wishes right where they will end-up anyway and that's the NetBeans issue-tracking system Issuezilla.
We have our own Component-name which is (you guessed it): "groovy".
The Issuezilla landing page could be found here:
The future
There are still many, many things
missing from the modules. Depending on the interest, people are showing for the initial release (
we won't make it into NetBeans 6.1 ), these are candidates
for features of the next release:
- Debugging support. (yes - it's sad but true, that we have no debugging support at the moment)
- MultiView for easy navigation between corresponding Model-View-Controller files.
- Refactoring support.

With big Star Wars announcements last week, such as the news that Gareth Edwards will be directing the first Star Wars spin-off, it's understandable that some smaller headlines slipped through the cracks. One such dissemination that isn't getting much attention is the cancellation of Star Wars: Attack Squadrons.
Attack Squadrons was a online space combat game being developed by Disney Interactive via the new-found studio, Area 52 Games. Attack Squadrons was first teased back on December 17th, 2014 through a trailer and launched a closed beta in January 2014. The trailer showed exciting game play, albeit briefly, which involved the Battle of Endor. Also featured were custom paint jobs for both Imperial and Rebellion ships and the classic Original Trilogy score setting the theme.
Overall opinions of the beta were lukewarm at best, which isn't too uncommon during a beta test. Some exciting details did come out after the beta launched though, that did raise expectations of the final project. These included 16-player matches in three different modes, a variety of maps (including the Death Star II over Endor, and that the game would be using the Unity Game Engine.
While no release date was ever announced during development, all signs pointed towards an eventual release. On May 23rd, it was therefore slightly surprising when it was announced that development on Attack Squadrons would be coming to a halt. This simple message was displayed on the official Facebook page and website, found at www.starwarsattacksquadrons.com
No other reasoning or elucidation has been provided as of yet, but critics are claiming it was impacted by the overall low ambitions and reception of the game. It should be noted that EA Games does hold the contract for all forthcoming Star Wars games. The only exceptions, so far, are for mobile and online-only games. Disney is handling these in house, as seen with its internal studio (Area 52 Games) developing Attack Squadrons. It will be interesting to see if Disney plans to focus on another game internally, or perhaps allows more possibilities to EA Games.

Pellegrini has plans for Dzeko, The Sun
- 31 July 2013 07:52
- Posted by @mccarthy_mcfc
Manuel Pellegrini has given Edin Dzeko a vote of confidence ahead of the new season according to reports this morning.
The Sun is just one of a few papers claiming the manager has told the Bosnian hit man that he has big plans for him this coming campaign.
"The Blues boss insisted striker Dzeko will be given a chance to seal a starting place - despite the arrivals of Stevan Jovetic and Alvaro Negredo at a cost of £45million," writes the paper's Antony Kastrinakis.
"Bosnian Dzeko, 27, is expected to head City's front-line in tonight's friendly with AC Milan in the Audi Cup here in Munich."
Elsewhere, The Manchester Evening News claims Barcelona are set to make a multi-million bid for City skipper Vincent Kompany.
"The Spanish giants have made no secret of their search for another centre-half this summer," reports Rob Dawson.
"But they have been left frustrated in their attempts to prise Thiago Silva away from Paris Saint-Germain after the Brazilian signed a new five-year deal to stay in the French capital this week."
"Reports in Spain suggest new Barcelona coach Tata Martino identified Kompany and Chelsea defender David Luiz as his top targets during a meeting with sporting director Andoni Zubizarreta on Monday."
"But any enquiry from the Nou Camp is likely to be rebuffed by City."
Finally for now, Sergio Aguero is set to miss out on Argentina's friendly against Italy in a fortnight's time.
"Striker Aguero is missing from an all foreign-based squad coach Alejandro Sabella named on Tuesday for Argentina's friendly against Italy in Rome next month," reports Reuters.
"Aguero, who is nursing an injury, will miss the August 14 match at the Olimpico in honour of Pope Francis who will receive the two squads at the Vatican on the eve of the match."
As we prepare to enter August, remember we will be first with any confirmed transfer news in or out of the club this summer.

How Is Residual Functional Capacity Used To Determine Eligibility For Social Security Disability Benefits
Impairments and associated symptoms can cause physical and mental limitations that can affect workplace performance. A Residual Functional Capacity Assessment is one of the critical tools utilized by the Social Security Administration in denying or approving disability claims.
What Is Residual Functional Capacity
According to Social Security Administration disability guidelines, residual functional capacity is the most a person is able to accomplish in a work setting despite physical or mental limitations. A determination of disability is primarily based on an individual's functional abilities, as opposed to medical history and diagnosis. Several considerations are involved during the assessment of residual functional capacity.
- A person's ability to meet physical and mental requirements required in his or her employment
- Whether a person is able to perform the duties required in past relevant employment
- Whether a person is able to make adjustments in order to engage in any other type of employment available in the national economy
- Whether a person is able to perform work in sedentary, light or medium categories
How Is Residual Functional Capacity Used To Determine Disability
Once a disability claim is filed, a claims examiner in the Disability Determination Services (DDS) department reviews medical documentation and prepares an initial report detailing reasons for denial or acceptance. As part of the initial determination process, the case file is reviewed by a DDS medical consultant, a co-worker of the claims examiner. The DDS consultant prepares a Residual Functional Capacity (RFC) form, rating the claimant's abilities to work. The RFC form reflects the medical consultant's subjective opinion concerning a claimant's limitations. RFC forms prepared by DDS consultants typically result in disability claim denials as they lack pertinent medical information that can only be provided by a treating physician.
The Importance Of Obtaining A Residual Functional Capacity Assessment From A Treating Physician
RFC forms prepared by your treating physician contain an accurate assessment of your disability and limitations. The Social Security Administration places significant weight on the medical opinions expressed by treating physicians. The standard Physician Residual Functional Capacity Assessment form contains questions with check-the-box answers regarding symptoms, diagnoses and limitations. Limitations listed on the RFC form pertain to exertion, posture, manipulation, vision and communication.
Your treating physician is best suited to provide a professional interpretation of your condition. Your doctor can provide required medical evidence supporting your disability claim as opposed to depending on the form prepared by a DDS consultant. A medical report prepared by your physician can be instrumental in the success of your disability claim. Your doctor is qualified to respond to questions concerning your specific limitations in strength, mobility, range of motion and your ability to function in a work setting.
How Can A Social Security Disability Lawyer Help Me Obtain Social Security Disability Benefits
Filing a Social Security disability claim is often burdensome and complex. Most claims are initially denied. The assistance of a Social Security disability lawyer can be instrumental in overturning your denial and awarding you the benefits you deserve.

Angels, Sinners and Madmen, my historical romance set in 1850s Key West, Florida, is available from Freyas Bower: http://www.freyasbower.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=11&products_id=246
Reviewers called it enchanting, adding I loved it and applaud Cate for creating a time in the past that seems so real in this book. Another said: You will fall in love these two characters along with the rest of Sam's wrecker friends. Laughter, tragedy and heroism abound, so make sure you have plenty of time when you start reading Angels, Sinners and Madmen, because you will not want to put this gripping story down until you have read every single word of it.
I hope youll check out the book video, reviews, and more: http://catemasters.blogspot.com/2007/12/angels-sinners-and-madmen-historical.html
What happens in Key West, stays in Key West. Especially in 1856, when men outnumber women by ten to one. Wrecker Sam Langhorne came to Key West eight years earlier to forget his ruined engagement. When he rescues Livvie Collins from a watery grave, hes swept away by her beauty and spirit. Hes sworn off love, but is soon captivated by Livvies witand her determination to remain single.
The death of Livvies father leaves her no other option than to sail to New Orleans to live with her brother Wendell. Though she hopes to support herself by writing novels, shes sure Wendell will try to soon marry her off, and is determined to experience life to its fullest before reaching New Orleans.
Sam is handsome and attentive, constantly surprising her with his intelligence and his interest in current literature and happenings. She gives herself to him in a night of passion so she can know the true emotion at least once in her life. But can she save herself after she arrives in New Orleans?
Thanks for reading!

• Marrero 3-6, R, 2B, 2RBI
• Rhymes 3-4, R, 2B, 2RBI
Five errors didn't help the cause as the Syracuse Chiefs fell in extras, 9-8 in Pawtucket. Starter Yuneksy Maya was peppered for six hits in his three innings, allowing two runs (one earned) before leaving with an apparent injury. The top five batters in the Chiefs lineup combined for 14 of the team's 15 hits, including six doubles. Mike Crotta, the fifth reliever of the night, took the loss in the 12th as an error followed by a sacrifice and an RBI double gave the PawSox the walkoff win.
Roster move: RHP Ryan Perry activated from the 7-Day DL.
• Demny 7IP, 6H, 2R, 2ER, 2BB, 7K, HR
• Garcia (BS, 1; L, 0-1) 1IP, 3H, 2R, 1ER, 0BB, 0K
• Souza 2-3, 2-2B, BB, SB
• Nicol 2-2, R, HR, RBI, BB
Christian Garcia blew the save in his first appearance, giving up two runs on three hits in the 9th in a 4-3 Harrisburg loss to Trenton. The bigger news, however, is the report that Anthony Rendon has been promoted to Syracuse, which, of course, the Nationals have yet to confirm. Paul Demny got the no-decision with two runs allowed on six hits and two walks. Steve Souza Jr. continues to blister the ball, doubling twice, walking and stealing a base to extend his hit streak to eight games.
Roster move: RHP Christian Garcia assigned the Senators as an MLB rehab.

• Miller 3-5, R, 2B, HR, RBI, OF assist at 3B
• Renda 3-5, 2B
Three unearned runs in the last three Lexington "ups" was the difference in Hagerstown's 6-3 loss. Ronald Pena took the loss, as he let up nine hits over five and a 1/3rd innings and gave up four runs (three earned). The Suns committed five errors in total, two apiece by Wilmer Difo and Pedro Severino. Offensively, Brandon Miller and Tony Renda both went 3-for-5 with a double, while Miller hit his team-leading 10th home run.

Man, that starting pitching at Syracuse has been bad–and now even the bad pitchers are going on the DL. Here's hoping Karns goes there when he is sent back down and Taylor Jordan gets promoted again soon. Might as well let the kids face the tougher competition since the organization is so short of AAA arms right now.
Mark Zukerman is reporting that Erik Davis got called up to show!
No info about who went to the DL or down..
TyMo could be sent down, or DL Harper or possibly Strasburg…

For those you of you have decent facilities, you have no issues but the place for lessons/jumping at the yard I'm at is only a fenced part of a field..therefore it gets shocking slippery or in the summer it becomes like concrete. If you actually want to do work in there, there are only a few weeks out of the year when the ground is comfortable. Also our sandschool is so deep it isn't usable really.
Of course everywhere else has dried up as well, it's like being on a road all the time and obviously I wouldn't intentionally canter on a road so.. Some of my friends horses/ponies would happily canter on anything if asked too, but Parsley, whether this genuinely be because of his feet and what they have been through, is very careful.
The other week a friend and I went on one of our most loved longer rides and did our usual canter, (we're out for 2 hours and there is only one or two spaces to canter lol!) which he usually bombs - he loves it cos it's flat..but my friends horse went off at usual lightning speed but Parsley just cantered just about fast enough to keep up but you could tell he wasn't happy..just didn't want to be left behind. So it just shows about hard ground. Although this weather is wonderful, when we don't have rain and without the use of an indoor school..you can become very limited!
It's lonely in the saddle since the horse died.

Last night, as so many nights before, Peabody's management reserved its main stage for mainly over-produced, scene-oriented punk and hard rock as something truly new and interesting was playing just on the other side of the wall.
As guitarist/vocalist Nick Galbincea and drummer Kevin Cole of The Abstract took the Pirate's Cove stage, they did so with the confidence of a band that has played in front of hundreds of crowds and this was just another chance to show an audience their well explosive style of alternative hard rock with more energy and conviction than 90 percent of bands ever show.
Eyes hidden behind dark glasses (reminiscent of Layne Staley) Galbincea laid down a furry of guitar excellence as he stomped his foot and through himself around the stage in an amazing display of showmanship. Meanwhile, Cole pounded away behind him with flawless timing, feeding the intensity of each song.
This was not just one of hundreds of shows. It was their first time at Peabody's. In fact, this two piece ensemble out of Medina can count their number of live appearances on two hands and have fingers left over.
Rock bands with the creative fortitude, musicianship, and stage-presence all working for them don't come around everyday and it's time for people to take notice of what The Abstract brings to the table.

I had originally drove to San Antonio from El Paso to pick an older pup named Sutter, Amazing dog, he would make the perfect travel companion of a long haul trucker as he does great on long trips. Sadly he was not the right fit for my family and I had to take him back, that's when Sue introduced me to Stinky Pete aka Sean. It was love at first sight Pete is the most laid back GSD mix I have ever met. His tail has not stopped waging. I really appreciate the extra effort that Sue from Tex' K9 rescue went to in finding the right fit for my home. I highly recommend you contact her if you are looking for your furry friend. Even though it was an exhausting weekend it was so worth it to find my new baby. His siblings are up for adoption go get one while you have the chance, they are amazing pups. thanks Petfinder for pointing me in the right direction.

Presenting Laszlo Birinyi's "Teflon 20" Must Short Momo Names
- Printer-friendly version
- Feb 24, 2011 1:33 PM
- 52
I will still take DE and XOM
I misread this the first time. I thought you meant Birinyi said to short these stocks. So now I can put his recommendations in the same folder i use for Cramer? (It's circular.)
If you go to Stockcharts.com they will let you set up a free chart with things like the RSI (Relative Strength), Bollinger bands, On balance volume and Accumulation/Distribution lines.
Almost all of Birinyi issues are in the "overbought" category with signs of weakening of the trend. This is for a nimble trader but, quite frankly, I would not touch any of these on the long side right now. In fact, the only two I would continue to hold, (with one hand on the switch) is QCOM and CMG.
I think that with all the disruption about, this could very well be a trader's short list.
A person in options doesn't need a crash, just a correction.
However, price and load on the position should be considered when using options. This is not a recommendation and I am not a professional.
What was Khadafi putting in his private plane? AAPL and AMZN certificates?
Ohhhhh... It was gold. That's what I'm going with. Keep your paper.
what about BSFT?
what about BSFT?
Please tell me this is a joke or something. Did you get this off The Onion?
NFLX is a zero
Someone pull the Teflon 20 list from 2H 07 lets see how those fared, im sure they performed impeccably
Absolutely - how can this crap pass for analysis? It's almost impossible to believe that this jackass can hold a job let alone get paid for this shit. Oh wait - Wall Street the land that Common-Sense forgot.
The daily chart still looking bearish.
take Khaddafi plane
Chipotle? Seriously? WTF is wrong with people who eat at Chipotle?
Well, since their burritos are 93.7% rice, and rice has skyrocketed, it's a better value now than last year.
Chipotle is a great company in my opinion, unlike NFLX they have actual CASH FLOW. They have been a great stock to hold. Also, i believe they are a company like McDonalds that does well with the economy in the crapper. Since i don't think the real economy (as opposed to NFLX fantasy land) is improving, i think stocks that cater to the impoverished lower class will do well ($6 burritos not out of the reach of the middle class.... yet....).
Also, i definitely wouldn't eat their often, but the one by my house gives you tons of meat, and not much rice (unless you request more) unlike the poster below suggested. Could depend on the individual location of course.
taco bell + margaritas = CMG
I went there once, had the worst burrito I'd ever eaten, and never went back. I guess that doesn't really have anything to do with the stock price though, apparently some people like it.
well I think it is a step above taco bell in terms of quality, which might not be saying much LOL
Also, the one by my office is literally filled with people at all hours of the day. Either they like the food or are under some sort of mind control. Literally i see a line 30 people long out the door on a regular basis as i drive by (lunch and dinner hours).
They're a "limo lib" darling because of the sustainable ag stuff they pretend to care about. They're going to get absolutely fucking destroyed at some point down the line.
Reason: Qdoba is essentially the same business, except their food is way the fuck better, and it's cheaper from a cost o' production standpoint.
Prefer an authentic 'dirty' burrito from the local hole-in-the-wall myself.
Didn't mind Chipotle once in awhile but the last time I was there, it wasn't that hot temp-wise and I woke up soaking wet with THE ABSOLUTE worst e-coli trottskies ever... nosiree. not for me - and the stock will make you feel the same one day soon.
btw - That is the worst list of equities anyone could put together. Please make a list using algorithm 'hind-sight v4' and sort by stratospheric PEs please HAL.
PCLN +$33 today..because everybody will be taking vacations with $5/gal gas and the world on fire.
sentiment at a 3 yr high, right? I deserve a vacation after all I have been through.
Birinyi must be planning his final exit, stage left.
After all, that's the beauty of the Wall Street scam, right? He's got the money.
You get to gamble other peoples' monies, and you get paid your 2/20 or 4/40, whether the market soars or tanks.
It's in the bank.
It's the best scam and ponzi ever devised. And it's not only legal, the people running the show own your politicians.
A perfect crime.
I hope Byrini knows how to trade both long and short. His Teflon Twenty will fall apart just like the Nifty Fifty.
ATHENS, Greece — They blockade highway toll booths to give drivers free passage. They cover subway ticket machines with plastic bags so commuters can't pay. Even doctors are joining in, preventing patients from paying fees at state hospitals.
Some call it civil disobedience. Others a freeloading spirit. Either way, Greece's "I Won't Pay" movement has sparked heated debate in a nation reeling from a debt crisis that's forced the government to take drastic austerity measures — including higher taxes, wage and pension cuts, and price spikes in public services.
Unfortunate as it is, many Greeks have been lulled into the socialist entitlement paradigm. On the other hand, many are awake to their true enemy, the banking elite and their corrupt government puppets, and Greeks have been known to say NO en masse before to their would-be oppressors. Let's hope their energies are focused in the right direction.
they'd best channel some King Leonidas & The 300 fast!!
Kermit's Top 20
This Birinyi shit is too funny. PLease keep following this. Not important to investors, but humorous as hell storyline. What is up with this dude, did he fall and hit his head sideways on a metal urn??? Or has early stage Alzheimer's set in?? Calling the ghost of 1986 Reagan.... Calling the ghost of 1986 Reagan...... are you there???
I truly think Birinyi gets the ideas that Barton Biggs leaves on the nightstand when he goes to pee at 3 a.m.
Barton is on Flomax now, so he can hold it through the night. Dan Dorfman, however, is another story.
So it's STFD now? LOL
They always seem invincible: TheGobe.com, Interwoven, Inktomi, Razorfish, DrKoop.com
LOL, remember that scam?
Attach ".com" to your IPO and, boom, tack on a few billion in market capitalization. And when that bubble burst, the trend became removing dot-com from the name.
By Jim Cramer 02/29/00 - 09:42 AM EST
Editor's Note: James J. Cramer is the keynote speaker at the 6th Annual Internet and Electronic Commerce Conference and Exposition, held today at the Jacob Javits Center in New York City. We're running the full text of that speech here.
You want winners? You want me to put my Cramer Berkowitz hedge fund hat on and just discuss what my fund is buying today to try to make money tomorrow and the next day and the next? You want my top 10 stocks for who is going to make it in the New World? You know what? I am going to give them to you. Right here. Right now.
OK. Here goes. Write them down -- no handouts here!: 724 Solutions (SVNX), Ariba (ARBA_), Digital Island (ISLD), Exodus (EXDS), InfoSpace.com (INSP_), Inktomi (INKT), Mercury Interactive (MERQ), Sonera (SNRA), VeriSign (VRSN_) and Veritas Software (VRTS_).
We are buying some of every one of these this morning as I give this speech. We buy them every day, particularly if they are down, which, no surprise given what they do, is very rare. And we will keep doing so until this period is over -- and it is very far from ending. Heck, people are just learning these stories on Wall Street, and the more they come to learn, the more they love and own! Most of these companies don't even have earnings per share, so we won't have to be constrained by that methodology for quarters to come.
"Most of these companies don't even have earnings per share, so we won't have to be constrained by that methodology for quarters to come."
WTF..did he really say that!
The link to his infamous speech/pep rally is in blue above.
He gave that speech right before one of the biggest meltdowns in equity market history.
The NASDAQ was particularly hard hit, losing nearly 80% of its value by 2003.
...on Friday, March 10, 2000, when the technology heavy NASDAQ Composite index, peaked at 5,048.62 (intra-day peak 5,132.52), more than double its value just a year before...
The laughable thing of it was, for several years after the tech implosion ( including virtually all of these names ), this piece had been removed from TheStreet.com's archives.
Most of these companies don't even have earnings per share, so we won't have to be constrained by that methodology for quarters to come.
Just wow. And many tech stocks can be had for under 10 trailing P/E, and some oil companies also under 10 trailing P/E. But to Cramer, earning don't matter, as long as he is in pump (pre-dump) phase.
