Using FastSwap to speed up development
By email@example.com on Oct 03, 2009
A fast turnaround time is something that most developers appreciate and since JDK 5 it is possible to redefine a class without dropping the class loader. However, the support provided by the JDK is limited and does not allow the developer to reshape the class, i.e., fields and methods cannot be changed/altered. FastSwap is a feature within WLS that, when enabled, is designed to overcome these limitations. For example, it will allow the developer to add new methods to an already loaded class and see those changes take effect immediately.
Enabling FastSwap
In order to take advantage of FastSwap, WLS must be running in development mode and FastSwap must have been turned on for that particular deployment. For applications deployed as an EAR, adding the
FastSwap will only monitor changes of classes in exploded directories so if an exploded EAR contains an archived WAR, any changes to that WAR will not be detected. Therefore, the WAR also needs to be unpacked and then FastSwap will monitor all the classes found under the web application's WEB-INF/classes directory. Note that any jars residing in WEB-INF/lib will not be monitored.
Developing with FastSwap
Once FastSwap has been enabled for a particular deployment, it will pick up any change made to a monitored class at runtime, allowing the change to take place immediately.
Using a web application as an example, the typical development flow would be:
- Deploy the exploded web application
- Access the application through a web browser
- Modify the code, compile the changes and have the corresponding class files saved to the correct location under the exploded application.
- Access the application through a web browser once again, and your changes will now have been applied and should be visible.
Note that FastSwap will not redefine any classes as soon as they have changed on the file system. The reason is because a change to one class file can affect other classes (e.g. when a method signature is changed) so all classes must be redefined at the same time. Therefore, the developer will need to tell FastSwap when it should start its operation. For web applications, this is accomplished by going through a servlet but for other applications the developer has to use the JMX interface for FastSwap. However, there is an Ant task accessing this JMX interface that can used to trigger FastSwap, as shown in the below example.
<project name='MyProject' default='all'>
<taskdef name='fast-swap' classname='com.bea.wls.redef.ant.FastSwapTask'/>
<target name='all'>
Where the parameters are:
- adminUrl: connection url
- user: user name
- password: user password
- server: managed server name
- application: deployed application name
Limitations & Further Reading
Even though FastSwap is an improvement over the default support found in the JDK there are still some limitations to what it can accomplish. For a list of these limitations as well as more information regarding FastSwap, please visit the following link:

Indonesia has accused environmental groups of protesting against the removal of trees that don't exist.
The country's top forestry official says an international petition to save Aceh's forest that has gained international attention and well over a million signatures is based on flawed assessments.
Environment groups claim that the Aceh government is planning to convert 1.2 million hectares of existing tropical forest into oil palm, logging concessions, mines and roads, with devastating effects.
Environment groups say this vast area in the Tripa peat forest in Aceh has been burnt to make way for oil palm plantations. Photo: COALITION TO SAVE THE TRIPA PEAT
But Kuntoro Mangkusubroto, the head of Indonesia's forestry monitoring body, says the province's proposed plan would conserve about 1.8 million hectares of Aceh's forest, only slightly less than an earlier plan from 2000.
He claimed conservationists had chosen instead to compare the new plan to a much more pro-green proposal by the former provincial government from 2010, which was never implemented, and which would have meant Aceh had about 3 million hectares of forest under protection.
That equates to 68 per cent of the land mass, compared with the 45 per cent in the government's current plan.
A young miner treads the forest path towards an illegal gold mining camp in the hills near the village of Geumpang in Aceh. forestpath.jpg
Some of these areas had previously been unprotected, and some were to have been reforested under that plan.
A local moratorium on new logging concessions had also helped protect Aceh's forests, some of the last large-scale forested areas in Indonesia.
But the new government, elected in April last year, has ditched the moratorium and the former governor's plan, and formulated its own, which protects 1.2 million hectares less than the 2010 proposal, but only about 100,000 hectares less than the 2000 spatial plan, which was the last plan passed into law.
The Indonesian central government ministry has said that plan is likely to pass. Mr Kuntoro said the 2010 plan "cannot be used for comparison," because it was never implemented.
But the Aceh-based environmental activist who began the petition, Rudi Putra, said the new plan would still see significant areas of forest cut down as old logging concessions are reactivated.
He said illegal permits to open forests were already being issued before the spatial plan is even agreed. New road construction and poaching was also affecting wildlife in the area, which contains some of Indonesia's last wide tracts of lowland tropical forest.
"The key aspect of the new Aceh government's spatial plan is how much of these very sensitive areas are to be threatened with expansion of logging, road building, plantations and mining, even if they are officially classified as forests," Mr Rudi said.
"I think over 1 million people signed this petition because they share the concerns of Aceh's people, and because they care about the fate of tigers, elephants, orangutans and rhinos, the incredible biodiversity of Aceh's forests, and global climate change."

The new Renault Captur urban crossover is definitely one of the most sought-sfter models at the stand of the French carmaker at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. The model has been developed on Renault's own B-platform (the same one that spawned the latest Clio hatchback) and is actually pretty compact: it measures 4.12 meters in length, 1.77 meters in width and 1.57 meters in height, with a ride height of 200 mm.
Renault introduces the Captur as a model that delivers 'the best of three worlds' - the expressive styling and driving position of an SUV, the cabin space and modular interior of an MPV and the agility and driving enjoyment of a compact saloon car - and uses the new design language created by Laurens van den Acker, with also an original two-tone colour scheme which produces an attractive contrast between the roof and pillars and the rest of the body work.
The interior of the Captur is spacious and colourful, allows for a high-up driving position and can be enhanced with the addition of the new in-dash Renault R-Link touchscreen multimedia tablet as well as a system that comprises six loudspeakers, Bluetooth connectivity, audio-streaming and Arkamys hi-fi sound.
The engine range is the same of the current Clio range, with a bunch of petrol and diesel units (all of which coupled to a six-speed dual-clutch transmission) that benefit from the very latest Renault technologies and will return best-in-class fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, starting from as low as 96g/km. The Renault Captur will be manufactured at Renault's Valladolid plant in Spain.

Owing to its association with ostentation, decoration and excess, marble dropped off the radar in contemporary design for the best part of two decades. Yet, recent technological developments, the return to fashion of a more upmarket style, and the material's powerful natural qualities are all helping to endear marble to a new generation of designers.

The oribatid integument is well known for a number of porose organs. The distribution of these organs has taxonomic importance, especially in Brachypylina. Until recently, the function of these organs was conflictingly interpreted. It is now known that porose organs may represent either respiratory or secretory porose organs. According to Norton et al. (1997), in adult Poronota the porose organs may be grouped into several series. In addition to the octotaxic system of the notogaster, a marginoventral series of the ventral plate, an apodemato-acetabular system of tracheae, and a humerosejugal series of the sejugal and lateral podosomal region can be recognized. In juveniles the lateral parts of the bodies are usually not provided with porosities. However, in some taxa, predominately belonging to Ceratozetoidea, the juveniles possess a rather conspicuous humeral organ (oh). We have studied this organ for the first time with TEM and SEM in Edwardzetes edwardsii (Ceratozetidae). It evidently represents a secretory porose organ, probably homologous to the humeral porose organ Ah of the adults, which may be modified into a conspicuous vesicle in Ceratozetoidea (and some other taxa).

Go check out the trailer at Apple.com. It looks pretty cool to me. It reminds me of the Matrix with a horror theme, kinda.

Paulo Sergio left Hearts on June 7th after rejecting a new contract. Sergio only joined the club back in August 2011 but has decided not to continue as manager, despite winning the Scottish Cup last season.
The Portuguese manager has been coaching since 2003, with spells at Olhanense, Santa Clara, Beira-Mar, Pacos Ferreira and Vitoria Guimaraes.
In April 2010 he succeeded Carlos Carvalhal at Sporting Clube de Portugal but left the following February following a run of poor results, which indluded being dumped out of the Europa League by Rangers.
He was named as the new Hearts manager in August 2011.
Sergio has been a controversial figure since his arrival and a result has featured prominantly in the Next SPL Manager To Be Sacked odds. The club will be looking for a third place finish but this is looking increasingly slim, with Motherwell looking comfortable behind Celtic and Rangers.

surprised but it works!!

About Me Natural Style
Comments about Brighten Up Teeth Whitener - 2.5 g:
I was actually surprised, but the product really works. However, it is really small and it runs out very quickly. The stick breaks easily and it gets kind of messy. Please consider making a product with the same formula but bigger.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

This product works!
By Adventure7Girl
from Canada
I use this product after brushing my teeth at night, so it was part of my routine. I have been using it over the last three weeks. I had results after two weeks and that inspired me to keep using it. I confess I don't remember to use it everyday, but I'd say 5 out of 7 days and the results are great. The change has been gradual and I like that I can control how white they will get as I don't want those white teeth that make the teeth look overly white and unnatural. Thank you Paula for creating affordable products that work.

Doesn't hurt, but it doesn't help either
By Cat
from FL
I have been using this multiple times per day for the past week following the instructions, but I have to say that I'm not really noticing any difference in the brightness of my teeth at all. What I like about the product is that it's very portable, easy to use, and it doesn't hurt my teeth or gums even the tiniest bit. The slight foaming wasn't an issue for me. The taste isn't bad either! Not particularly good, but it is a pretty neutral taste. I feel like this product would be better at maintaining already-white teeth rather than as a multiple shade-whitening treatment in itself. Maybe I'll try this again when I eventually get my teeth whitened to help prevent staining, but if you want to whiten your already-yellow teeth I would give this a pass.
Service and delivery comments:
Delivery was perfect! All of my products arrived on time and in good condition.

Yes, but no, but yes
By Mitzi
from NY
Bizarrely, this works. Not in the longterm, I'm guessing, but as an on-the-spot illusion of whiteness. Like everyone else, I found it hard to put on, and I doubt it will be long before I break the stick of product right off while applying. You also don't want to put this on two seconds before you flash a smile at someone, because it creates a white, gloppy, slobbery smear all over your teeth. But give it a few minutes and you'll have a short window of pearly(ish) whiteness. Plus, it tastes just fine.I'd rather use a product that will have a cumulative whitening effect and isn't so awkward to apply. I wouldn't buy this again, but I'm not sorry to have it in my bag now.

Works well, but ...
By Reverend Alan
from Southwest Missouri
Brighten Up arrived today and I used it right off. Though it didn't give me that "Hollywood" smile, it did take away a few years accumulation of coffee and food stains.I would imagine that with regular use, in addition to a good whitening toothpaste, all the stains should be removed in a relatively short time (weeks as opposed to months).Best product I have found so far.

Lives up to its expectation
By Ain
from Singapore
I was skeptical to get this because of the mixed reviews, but I bought it anyway. Firstly, I can say that it works to brighten up my teeth. I have no high hopes of the product to give whitest of the whitest teeth of all. It took me about 2 days using it, once a day to see results. It certainly brightens up my teeth. I am not an avid coffee drinker, but i still see obvious results.I am not a fan of the application. I think it can be done better ( brush applicator maybe?) I had to use my small paint brush i bought from a craft store and use it to apply, otherwise it will get clumpy when applying directly. I feel that you need a little bit of the product to apply, otherwise it will get messy. A little bit goes a long way and you'll see results.

as described & great for on the go
By Lisa
from VA
Perfect for before that important meeting at work after you drank your coffee. It doesn't replace brushing and it's not a whitening system, so the results are short term. It's great on the go like described. A little more than I'd like to spend for what it is and not a must have product. I enjoy it though!
Brighten Up Rocks!
By michele k.
from Undisclosed
Love, love, love brighten up, it works great!!! The only bad thing that happens to me every time the stick gets closer to the end it always breaks off and then a small piece gets stuck in the tub. I feel like I'm loosing out on more applications.

Nervous to try
By Jess T.
Was nervous to try this as I have very sensitive teeth and gums but this didn't exacerbate any of that at all. Plus I definitely see improvement and it is so easy to use. I agree with some other reviewers that perhaps different packaging might work better but all in all it gets the job done. I was also worried it wouldn't last very long but it takes so little product per use. Definitely a staple in my routine.
not worth the hype
By jennifer l
I bought 3 tubes of this a few months ago because everyone was raving about how great this was...ive used up all 3 tubes and it made no difference and one tube barely lasted a week.....terrible product I do not recommend.

I am a heavy coffee tea drinker. Tried every product. This product removed stain from tooth I had repaired. I apply to back of teeth too. If one prefers, use a brush. Next, yes it will froth, but it goes away I have been embarrrassed by my discover teeth for years. Procedure expensive. Ladtly. Love minty taste! No chalky taste.
not good
By ts
I feel bad having to write a bad review for the first time on paula's choice because I LOVE all the products I have used so far. This one in particular I decided to just try out as I have used similar in past. Disappointed. First. its a hard stick. When applying to the teeth you can't get in the nooks and grooves. its a chalky paste that you just smear on. messy. chalky, a waste. Why not a liquid with a brush applicator so you can paint on almost like a nail polish? :(
By Sharon
I quite like this product, it has been very effective for whitening between my teeth. Nice mild and fresh taste.
It really works!
By Patricia
I've been using it everyday for a month and my teeth have been getting whiter. It's now part of my regular routine. The applicator isn't the best but I'm glad I found this product.
My favorite!
By LJ
I was a little hesitant about purchasing this product because I haven't had much luck with teeth whiteners in the past. My teeth were waaaay too sensitive for strips, and others I've used are so inconvenient because they require a long application time with disappointing results. I'm so glad I bought this. It's my favorite teeth whitener! I've used it daily for about a little over a week now and I've had zero problems with it. Best of all, my teeth are whiter. I highly recommend it!

Found a way to use it all!
By ANN S.
I really like this product but like others have been disappointed with the applicator. It's wasteful (so much at the end of the tube that is wasted and it's hard to apply evenly). I discovered that my sulcus tooth brush with a narrow tip fits inside the tube. I can scrape out some product with the brush and apply evenly to my teeth.
I agree with nY; please change the applicator
By Anonymous
I agree with the previous reviewer, "nY". When you are applying this product to your teeth, sometimes the pressure of the application can cause the stick to wind back down into the container, exposing the metal outer section, which can then scrape against your teeth. I always cringe and envision dark silver scrape marks on my teeth. I don't think the marks actually happen, but why have this metal on the applicator? Please change to plastic. Thank you!
Now i`m smiling!

Brightens well but application method needs improving
By nY
My boyfriend definitely notices the brighter teeth. I have extremely sensitive teeth, and though this does feel "tinglely", it doesn't make my sensitivity worse. I love that. However, the application could use some improvement; perhaps some of these suggestions have been considered but just in case: the applicator is beautiful but scary when the steel hits my teeth, or worse, my gum lines. Perhaps a plastic applicator? And perhaps in a tube/squeeze form. Maybe if in a gel base, too?
Customer Service Response: Hi there! Thank you for your suggestions, and we'll be happy to share them with the team!
Good Stuff!
By MEREDITH S.
I ordered this on a whim. I use it all the time, even in the car at stoplights. If I'm drinking coffee, then have a meeting, I just apply this, and in about 15 seconds I'm good to go. I was worried the wax would melt in the car or my purse, but it doesn't. I was worried the pressure applying would cause the stick to break, and it would make a mess, but it doesn't. Better than actual teeth-whitening strips, which my teeth are too sensitive for anyway. Not equal to that, but great for what it is!
So disappointing!
By JENNIFER O.
This product did not work for me at all. There is absolutely no change in the color of my teeth. From the other reviews, I expected a significant improvement in the whiteness of my teeth. Even though I had NO results after the first tube, I did buy the product again several months later thinking perhaps I hadn't been careful enough with the application. Nope--there is no change this time either.
By NAN W.
I'm sensitive to common tooth stripes so i switched to this product several months ago. Honestly i didn't expect too much. I only applied to 8 of my teeth daily, which took me 5 seconds a day. Today when i looked at my teeth in the mirror, those 8 teeth are so distinct, they are in a different color from the rest of my teeth, much whiter. Amazing product, i will continue use it lifetime.
Not my favorite
By Nadia D
I love Paula and her products! I have given pretty much all of her products five stars, and many of her products are my holy grails. This unfortunately, was not one of them. It didn't do anything to remove stains, and while it didn't 'hurt' my teeth, it didn't exactly feel great. I'm sure it will work for other people, just not for me. I actually bought this a little while ago but just couldn't use it, so I'm passing it on to my dentist friend. Hopefully she'll like it and recommend it!

What Makes This Product Unique?
Brighten Up 2-Minute Teeth Whitener is an unbelievably fast, convenient, portable, and refreshing way to whiten your teeth eliminating stains from wine, berries, and coffee almost instantaneously. It is ideal for on-the-go use or travel without the mess and fuss of most teeth whiteners.
The unique, balm-like formula delivers a patented highly effective whitening ingredient that's encapsulated to improve stability and block sensitivity.
It is ideal for quick party touch-ups after eating or drinking.
Can be used to maintain and prolong professional whitening results or on its own to whiten and maintain a beautiful smile.
Who is this product for?
This product is perfect for anyone who wants a whiter smile or wants to quickly eliminate stains from wine, coffee, or berries. It is especially great for anyone who has experienced sensitivity to other whitening products, or who simply wants to save time and money yet still have whiter teeth.
The Journal of Clinical Dentistry, Volume 20, 2009, pages 79–86; Journal of Dentistry, Supplement, May 2009, pages E51-E56; Journal of Dentistry, September 2008, pages 726–730; and Volume 32, Supplement, 2004, pages 13–17 and 47–50; Compendium of Continuing Education in Dentistry, February 2005, pages 144–148; And The Journal of Clinical Dentistry, Volume 15, Issue 4, 2004, pages 12–17
PEG-32 (solvent), Stearyl Alcohol (conditioning agent), Water, Hydrogen Peroxide (whitening agent), Allyl Methacrylates Crosspolymer (film-forming agent), Polaxamer 407 (surfactant), Flavor (natural mint).
DIRECTIONS: Apply a light coating to your smile zone (the teeth that are visible when you smile) as often as needed. If large clumps appear, use less pressure. It is normal for Brighten Up to foam slightly due to the action of the whitening agent. Excessive foaming indicates you have applied too much.
Do not eat or drink until product dissolves (approximately 2–5 minutes). There is no need to brush or rinse after use; product is safe if swallowed—simply apply and go!
How can I get Brighten Up into the spaces between my teeth?
After you apply a thin layer of Brighten Up to your smile zone, the balm-like texture emulsifies and begins to disappear. This is normal and is how the product gets in between teeth and penetrates into an irregular tooth surface. The manner in which the formula emulsifies allows it to provide even coverage and whitening results
I've never whitened my teeth before. Will Brighten Up work for me?
Yes, provided that your teeth are discolored due to common everyday stains from food and drink. Brighten Up is not meant to remove discolorations resulting from genetic predisposition, disease, or from tobacco use.
How long will one tube of Brighten Up last?
You can expect one tube of Brighten Up 2-Minute Teeth Whitener to be enough for 30 applications to the upper and lower teeth in your smile zone (the teeth you can see when you smile big).
May I brush my teeth after applying Brighten Up?
Yes, if you wait at least 5 minutes so the product has time to work. Ideally, you should apply Brighten Up after brushing and flossing teeth.
I get my teeth whitened by my dentist. Do I need Brighten Up?
Yes! As impressive as professional whitening treatments can be, simply having them done doesn't keep teeth from becoming stained from foods and drinks we consume daily (think coffee, red wine, deep-hued fruits). Brighten Up is an easy way to eliminate surface stains and keep teeth in great shape between professional treatments. Regular use means you can prolong the time between professional whitening services, which will save money and time.

PORTLAND — Sturgeon retention in Oregon's lower Willamette River is closed for the year after anglers caught most of the annual catch allocation in two days last weekend.
Biologist John North of the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife said Tuesday that sportsmen kept 1,055 sturgeon when the season opened on Friday and 480 fish on Saturday.
The combined two-day catch of 1,535 is 87 percent of the guideline of 1,768, leaving too few fish to allow for a third day.
Oregon hoped to squeeze out a four-day fishery in the lower Willamette, with two more days of retention on this coming Friday and Saturday. An agreement with Washington allowed the catch to go as high as 2,022 if needed to get four days of fishing.
North said there were 1,160 boats with 3,354 anglers on Friday and an average of .91 keeper sturgeon per boat. The numbers for Saturday were 1,253 boats with 3,848 anglers, but the average kept catch per boat dropped to .38 sturgeon.
Sturgeon in the Willamette River downstream of Willamette Falls, plus Multnomah Channel on the west side of Sauvie Island, are part of the dwindling lower Columbia population.
This year's harvest guideline for the Willamette was down 30 percent from 2011.
Steve Williams, an ODFW assistant administrator, said the angling effort on Friday and Saturday was more than twice that observed in 2011.
"Based on the number of anglers and catch last year, we hoped there would be enough fish for four days of fishing," Williams said. "Obviously we did not count on such a huge increase in effort."
North said 700 to 800 fish could be caught with an additional day of angling.
Williams said high angling effort and reduced quotas make it challenging to structure fishing seasons.
"If this trend continues, ODFW will have to reconsider how it structures future sturgeon retention seasons on the Willamette," he said.
Oregon plans public meetings this fall to present new sturgeon population information and let the public discuss ideas for restructuring the season.
Catch-and-release fishing is allowed in the lower Willamette. Sturgeon retention is permitted in the lower Columbia on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, although fishing has been very slow.

Volume: 24 Issue: 7 (July 2001)
Updated Rendering for Cinema 4D XL
Multipass rendering is particularly useful for 3D objects that must be incorporated into existing film footage. Each image element can be rendered separately, and individually modified during post editing. All layers can be saved as a single file in PSD, RLA, or RPF formats.
For Peter Morlock, art director at the German film production company Filmwerk, the multipass rendering capabilities in Release 7 are a crucial improvement. "For entertainment professionals and graphic de signers," he says, "the ability to modify every single image element is like a dream come true." Filmwerk is currently producing a live-action feature film with two digital creatures, and the multipass rendering has been used to integrate the digital images into the live footage.
Global illumination is also new to Re lease 7, as are additional caustics for a larger selection of surfaces. Smells Like Almonds 2.5, a shading plug-in for Cinema 4D with more than 1000 preset shaders, has also been incorporated into Release 7.
Cinema 4D XL R7 includes three licenses for Maxon's Cinema 4D Net, a distributed rendering system that can use a mix of PCs and Macs. Release 7 runs on Mac OS 7.6.1 and up, including OS X, and on Windows 95/98/NT/2000/ME operating systems. The price is $1695. A production suite that includes Maxon's BodyPaint 3D and Net is also available for $2195. (Maxon Computer; www.maxoncomputer.com)

SuperPass - Complete Entertainment Service
eMusic - Unlimited Access, Limited Downloads
Napster - Unlimited Access and Downloads
Amazon - Pay-per-song Service
iTunes - Pay-per-song Service
There are two types of legal music download services; pay-per-song sites, and subscription services. In brief, pay-per-song sites are exactly what they sound like they are while subscription services differ from offering unlimited music streaming to a set number of downloads a month at a discount.
We go through some details here that you might not have thought of to hopefully guide you in the right direction and making the pick between the two a little easier.
A pay-per-song service is exactly what you think it is. You use the site or software, search for the song(s) or album(s) you want and pay for the download. There are no subscription or monthly fees attached.
We are currently comparing 2 pay-per-song services; ITunes, and Amazon MP3.
iTunes requires you to download the iTunes software before being able to search for the music you want or download anything while Amazon MP3 is much easier in our opinion to get started with. Files in MP3 format that you download have no DRM encryption so you can choose to do what you want with the file after downloading, as opposed to iTunes where certain limitations are applied to the file so you can't burn or have the file on as many computers at the same time as you may wish.
Prices are very similar at both sites though you may find a slightly larger selection of exclusive tracks at iTunes than at Amazon MP3. Songs are anywhere between $0.69 to $1.29 while an average album goes for $9-$11.
For anyone downloading only a few songs a month, our reviewers all agree, Amazon MP3 is the way to go if you're looking for a pay-per-song service to get started with but if you enjoy bonus or special tracks, you might want to also check out iTunes and search for your favourite artist and who knows, find a little something speical you won't find at Amazon.
If you download an album's worth on average a month or more, some of the subscription services are probably a better bet for you. We currently highly recommend Superpass as it's a complete entertainment service with a great music selection and currently offering a 14 day free trial which you get 10 free music downloads to keep just for trying.
Once you start downloading an album's worth of music a month or more on average, music subscription services start becoming an economical choice over pay-per-song sites and some offer quite a lot more than only music downloads.
Our top recommended subscription site is currently SuperPass which is an all around entertainment service. You get 10 monthly music downloads, thousands of high quality commercial free radio stations, high quality movie downloads, a free game a month, and access to high quality online television including the TLC, the Discovery Channel, Animal Plant, and shows like Big Brother, MythBusters, and so much more.
When considering everything you get as a member, it's almost a no brainer when pinned up against the other services we review especially as they are currently offering a 14 day free trial to convince you themselves where you can download 10 free songs of your choice which are yours to keep even if you choose not to continue with the service.
Napster is another great subscription service offering something unique. With a membership, you get unlimited streaming meaning you can listen to anything in their music catalogue of millions of songs as much as you want while you're a member. With their subscription, you also get to download 5 monthly songs during your membership which are yours to keep. The service is roughly $5 / month which alone is an economical choice over pay-per-song sites since you download 5 songs which can be over $6 at iTunes for example.
eMusic offers a set number of downloads a month for a monthly subscription fee which could have you buying MP3 tracks for as low as $0.33 per song as opposed to over $1 with pay-per-song sites. Their current promotion lets you download 25 free songs and try the service free for 14 days.
Hopefully this gave you a broad overview of pay-per-song sites compared to subscription services. We suggest you take a look at our homepage where we include ratings and reviews for each music site and have a helpful guide towards the bottom of the page which includes a few questions you should ask yourself when looking for a music download site which will surely guide you in the right direction.

Last month, the American Library Association (A.L.A.) Store started selling copies of Access and Identity Management for Libraries: Controlling Access to Online Information by Masha Garibyan, Simon McLeish, and John Paschoud. According to the A.L.A., this "is the first book to explain the principles behind access management, with coverage of the available technologies and how they work."
Authors Masha Garibyan, Simon McLeish and John Paschoud also include an overview of federated access management technologies, such as Shibboleth, that have gained increasing international recognition in recent years. This book provides detailed case studies describing how access management is being implemented at organizational and national levels in the UK, USA and Europe, providing a practical guide to the resources available to help plan, implement and operate access management in libraries. Key topics include: what is access management and why libraries do it; electronic resources: public and not so public; principles and definitions of identity and access management; current access management technologies; authentication technologies; authorization based on physical location; authorization based on user identity or affiliation; federated access: history, current position and future developments; internet access provided by (or in) libraries; library statistics; [and] the business case for libraries.
The British publishing house Facet Publishing, the commercial publishing and bookselling arm of CILIP: the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals, came out with the book in 2013. Previously known as the Library Association Publishing, Facet Publishing has over 200 specialist titles in print.
Ms. Garibyan has been involved in access management since 2004, when she joined the London School of Economics Library Projects Team. She also worked as part of the J.I.S.C. (Joint Information Systems Committee) Access Management Team for two years helping British educational institutions and service providers adopt federated access. She currently works at the University of Worcester as part of the Library Academic Services Team.
Mr. McLeish is Resource Discovery Architect at the Bodleian Libraries, University of Oxford. He previously worked at the London School of Economics and Political Science (L.S.E.) and as an independent I.T. professional, specializing in Identity and Access Management.
Mr. Paschoud has been an I.T. professional since 1972. As Projects Manager at the L.S.E. Library he led a series of projects that identified and established the technologies for federated access that are now most widely used by academic libraries. As a consulting information systems engineer, Paschoud now specializes mainly in government and education fields, and is a member of the Technical Advisory Group to the U.K. Access Management Federation for Education and Research.
The I.S.B.N. (international standard book number) is 978-1-85604-588-9. The A.L.A. is selling it for $85.

Services Offered
Suspecting that your child has a developmental, behavioral, or learning problem can be very unsettling. We understand this and will work with your family and pediatrician to determine the best possible solutions.
The expert developmental and behavioral pediatricians at the University of Chicago Medicine Comer Children's Hospital are knowledgeable about the continuum of services and support. We will evaluate your child's strengths and challenges and work with you to develop a care plan for your child's ongoing developmental, behavioral, and learning successes. When appropriate, our caring staff can provide recommendations for habilitative therapies (speech, occupational, developmental, physical), tutoring, and family support services. We also will help you understand how to access these services through early intervention or special education programs, depending on your child's age. For children with complex challenges, we will monitor their development over time so that they have measurable successes developmentally, educationally, and socially.
Multidisciplinary Approach
If we determine that your child could benefit from other specialties--such as psychiatry, psychology, counseling, neurology, or genetics--we will refer you to experts in those fields. Our team also works with other medical specialties to provide comprehensive medical management and follow-up support for children with medical or social issues that may affect their development and behavior. These at-risk children may have been born prematurely or have conditions such as asthma, congenital heart disease, cancer, cystic fibrosis, diabetes, failure to thrive, seizure disorders, genetic disorders, or sickle cell disease.
In addition, we provide medical, developmental, and behavioral consultation to families with children receiving residential services, such as those at the Illinois Center for Rehabilitation and Education, and to families with children in schools designed to meet their special needs--such as the Beacon Therapeutic Day School.
University of Chicago Adoption Center
When adopting a child overseas, a family sometimes must make a choice based on limited medical and social information about the child. We can review the child's file and give you a better understanding of his or her health and development. Once you bring an adopted child home, we can provide an initial examination, as well as follow-up services as needed.
Convenient Locations
Services are available through several clinics and programs dedicated to your child's particular needs. These include:
- Developmental and behavioral diagnosis and management clinics at the Comer Center for Children and Specialty Care, Friend Family Health Center, La Rabida Children's Hospital, and the University of Chicago Pediatric Specialists Clinic in Palos Heights
- Birth to Three Diagnostic Clinic at LaRabida Children's Hospital: For clarifying children's developmental delays, providing developmental diagnosis, and supporting families of children at risk and those with evolving developmental disabilities.
- Woodlawn Early Childhood Intervention Center: For children ages birth to age 3 with motor, communicative, developmental, or socio-emotional delays
- Fussy Baby Program at the DCAM: For infants and toddlers ages birth to age 2 with colic, sleep difficulties, and regulatory challenges in collaboration with the Erikson Institute
- Adoption Center at the DCAM
- Hyperactivity, Inattention, Learning, and School Problems Clinic in collaboration with psychiatry experts
- Developmental Follow-Up Clinic: For children who were in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit in collaboration with neonatology's Center for Healthy Families
- Developmental Follow-Up Clinic: For children who were in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit in collaboration with pediatric critical care specialists
- Developmental Follow-Up Clinic: For children seen in the Child Protection Services Program
- Child and Family Connections, an early intervention program in collaboration with La Rabida Children's Hospital and community partners

Amazon has revealed the poll results for the most favorite video games that were released in 2013. According to a report from Segment Next on Jan. 8, the online retailer disclosed that "The Last of Us" was easily the most popular title of last year as voted on by the community. The action-adventure survival-horror title accumulated nearly half of the total votes.
"GTA 5" came at a distant second despite being the fastest selling video game in history. The rest of the list are made up of highly-rated titles such as "BioShock: Infinite" and "Super Mario 3D World." Despite the launch issues, "Battlefield 4" was able to sneak into the top ten while "Call of Duty: Ghosts" was nowhere to be seen. You can check out a graph of the votes, along with screens from "GTA 5" and "The Last of Us," in the gallery to the left of this article. The top ten fan favorite games list can also be found below:
- The Last of Us
- Grand Theft Auto V
- BioShock: Infinite
- Super Mario 3D World
- The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds
- Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch
- Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag
- Tomb Raider
- Fire Emblem: Awakening
- Battlefield 4
"The Last of Us" came out on June 14th of last year for the Playstation 3. "GTA 5," which was delayed for a significant amount of time, did not arrive until Sept. 17th for the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360. The two video games have been winning a majority of the "Game of the Year" awards being handed out by publications.

The Phantom is a tractor trailer truck in Grand Theft Auto IV, manufactured by Jobuilt.
In GTA IV, the Phantom has a V24 Supercharged engine (about 50L of displacement and over 3000hp). Its size and weight make it perfect for pushing almost any vehicle out of the way; such is its power that it can cause critical damage to some vehicles (igniting their engine) upon impact. The truck resembles a Peterbilt 359 EXHD.
Unlike the tractor trailers in Grand Theft Auto 2 and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, the Phantom cannot attach to any trailers parked throughout the city.
The performance for a truck of this size is actually impressive, but obviously not the best. Acceleration is mediocre, but better than it's size would suggest. Speed is very good, making the Phantom one of the fastest industrial vehicles in the game, but not as fast as the Fire Truck. Handling is, as expected, poor, but if the player holds the brake and the acceleration buttons at the same time while turning, the truck tends to turn easier. This trick also works with the Biff, Bus, and Flatbed.
- The default radio station in the Phantom is Liberty Rock Radio 97.8.
- Parked in front of a gas station near the intersection of Dukes Boulevard and Hewes St in Dukes.
- There are many Phantoms parked in the Port Tudor Docks in Alderney.
- Parked near Union Drive West, just above the Booth Tunnel in Purgatory, Algonquin.
- Parked in southern Francis International Airport.

College Hockey:Goaltending the story as Miami and Providence skate to 1-all tie
OXFORD, Ohio — The No. 4 Miami RedHawks and Providence Friars skated to a 1-1 deadlock in a game where both teams saw lights-out goaltending from their freshman netminders.
Miami's Ryan McKay made 37 saves on the night, while his counterpart Jon Gillies made 27 for the Friars.
Though this was the first collegiate meeting between McKay and Gillies, they had faced off before during their United States Hockey League careers. McKay played for the Green Bay Gamblers, while Gillies played for the Indiana Ice.
Both goalies said they felt spurred on to step up their game due to the history between them.
"[McKay]'s an outstanding goaltender [and] we've had battles in the past," Gillies said. "I love watching him play, I love playing against him."
"I played against Jon Gillies the last few years in the USHL and I'm pretty friendly with him," McKay said. "I felt like both us gave our teams chances to win and it just resulted in a tie."
The Friars took advantage of an up-tempo and physical first period, getting a power-play goal from sophomore forward Ross Mauermann at 5:55 in the period. The goal was Mauermann's third of the season, and came during a four-on-three power play for Providence. The Friars kept McKay off-balance from the start, outshooting Miami 15-7 in the opening period.
The RedHawks netted an equalizer early in the second period, courtesy of freshman forward Riley Barber.
The Friars had just taken back control of the puck in their own defensive zone, but Austin Czarnik stole the puck away and fed it to Barber, who beat Gillies on his glove side for his second career goal at 4:40.
The Friars missed key chances to regain the lead while still in the second period. Freshman forward Steven McParland hit the post on a breakaway attempt just minutes after Barber's goal. Later in the period, Providence intercepted an errant pass by McKay at center ice while the RedHawks made a line change and McKay somehow managed to keep the puck out of the net while on his back.
The third period saw momentum swing in Miami's favor, as the RedHawks started creating more scoring opportunities and made Gillies stretch out his 6-foot-5 span across the crease time and time again to preserve the stalemate.
Both teams had good looks in overtime as well, but no one was able to step up and send his team home a winner.
Instead, the obvious heroes were the freshmen between the pipes.
"Ryan McKay kept us in it," said Miami coach Enrico Blasi. "He did a great job. We were just out of sorts for pretty much the first two periods. Give [Gillies] credit. When the other guy on the other side is lights out, you've got to be lights out, too, so it was a tremendous battle between the two of them. We've got to find a way to solve him."
Providence coach Nate Leaman fully expects the play of the goalies to keep Saturday's game just as close as Friday's.
"We knew coming in it would be a 120-minute weekend," Leaman said. "It was a good game tonight [and] it's going to be a better game tomorrow night."
The two teams did elect to play a shootout following the overtime period, but the outcome does not affect standings because it was a non-conference game. Czarnik and Cody Murphy scored to take the shootout for Miami 2-0.

Why I chose to attend JMU: I went on many college tours my junior year of high school and narrowed down my choices to my top three. I was having a hard time deciding so I went back for a second visit. By the time I stepped on the quad I knew that JMU was the place for me. It was the best decision I have ever made.
What JMU means to me: JMU is a big school with a small school feel. I have been given all of the opportunities of a big school without feeling like another face in the crowd. Students, Faculty, and Alumni truly bleed purple and have a passion for our school. I wouldn't be where I am today with the experience that I gained and the friends that I made at JMU.
Advice to students selecting a college: Go with your gut! Yes, it is important to do your research and visit schools that are of interest to you. Narrow it down your top choices and by the end of your search you will have a gut feeling about the school that is right for you. Listen to what it is telling you!
Class at JMU: My directing class has to be my favorite class of all time. As a theatre minor I got to cast and direct my own play that was then performed in the Forbes Center. I gained so much valuable experience from this class. Plus it was tons of fun!
Dining Hall: Ehall- There are so many options!

The New Orleans Saints and Carolina Panthers have similar 2014 NFL draft needs at wide receiver and cornerback.
The teams also follow each other in the selection order, the Saints at No. 27 and the Panthers at No. 28.
NOLA.com | The Times Picayune's Larry Holder identifies cornerback as a high-priority position for the Saints.
Charlotteobserver.com also has cornerback listed as "one of the team's biggest needs."
One name ESPN.com and charlotteobserver.com say the Saints and Panthers, respectively, have tracked is former TCU cornerback Jason Verrett (5-foot-9, 189 pounds).
From charlotteobserver.com: "Verrett is projected as a late first- or early second-round pick. Because of Verrett's height, most draft analysts believe he'll start his career as a nickel back lined up against shorter, slot receivers."
Several publications also identify wide receiver as a need for both teams. Selection priority for both teams should change as the draft unfolds May 8.
What do you think? How much jockeying do you expect to see between the Saints, the Panthers and other teams has selection time nears? Are you concerned the Panthers could move up a couple spots to pick a player the Saints covet?

What causes breast pain?
Breast pain is most commonly associated with the menstrual cycle and therefore is referred to as cyclical pain. It is thought to be related to hormone activity in combination with a reaction from the breast tissue. Studies show that most women are more concerned about the possibility of cancer than the pain itself. There are treatments available to help with this pain. Some physicians may recommend limiting consumption of caffeine or reducing salt intake. If necessary, doctors can offer medicinal interventions.
Non-cyclical breast pain is much less common and can be caused by a trauma such as an injury or a breast biopsy. In both cases, if you are experiencing breast pain it is important to take the time to find a breast specialist to examine your breasts and determine what steps should be taken, if any.

Andi Dorfman, ABC's current "Bachelorette," is heading to Maresille, France with her remaining bachelors on the next episode of the show, airing June 16, 2014. Spoilers revealing the names of three men who are allegedly sent home on a group date during the episode have been revealed online, according to Hollywood Take.
E! reports that the episode begins with Andi choosing Brian for a one-on-one date, according to a sneak peek released by ABC. Brian apparently does not know how to cook at all and the date becomes uncomfortable and awkward. He admits he is lacking in the food preparation arena and says, "I'm pretty out of my comfort zone right now," according to E!
The whole situation frustrates Andi, who says in the sneak peek video, "This guy was so great all day and we get in the kitchen and he's so standoffish. She is further agitated by the fact that he is shy and not trying to kiss her during their date.
The following spoilers were revealed by Reality Steve and indicate that three men will be sent packing during the rose ceremony, reports Hollywood Take. Andi's decision about who to eliminate was likely made during a group date that involves mimes of all things.
The men who are reportedly sent home on tonight's episode are Marquel Martin, Andrew Poole, and Pat Jagodzinski. This leaves 8 men still in the running to capture Andi's heart and become the bachelor to her "Bachelorette."
"The Bachelorette" airs Monday nights at 8/7c on ABC.

Potiga (Ezogabine): Drug Safety Communication - Linked To Retinal Abnormalities And Blue Skin DiscolorationPublish Date: Fri, 26 Apr 2013 18:30:00 -0400
AUDIENCE: Health Professional, Neurology, PatientISSUE: FDA is warning the public that the anti-seizure medication Potiga (Ezogabine) can cause blue skin discoloration and eye abnormalities characterized by pigment changes in the retina. FDA does not currently know if these changes are reversible. FDA is working with the manufacturer to gather and evaluate all available information to better understand these events. FDA will update the public when more information is available.BACKGROUND: Potiga is approved as adjunctive (added on to other anti-seizure medications) treatment of partial-onset seizures in adult patients 18 years and older. The skin discoloration in the reported cases appeared as blue pigmentation, predominantly on or around the lips or in the nail beds of the fingers or toes, but more widespread involvement of the face and legs has also been reported. Scleral and conjunctival discoloration, on the white of the eye and inside eyelids, has been observed as well. The skin discoloration generally occurred after four years of treatment with Potiga, but has appeared sooner in some patients. In some cases, retinal abnormalities have been observed in the absence of skin discoloration.RECOMMENDATION: All patients taking Potiga should have a baseline eye exam and periodic eye exams that should include visual acuity testing and dilated fundus photography, and may include fluorescein angiograms (FA), ocular coherence tomography (OCT), perimetry, and electroretinograms (ERG). Patients who are taking Potiga and develop any changes in your vision or any discoloration of your skin, including of your lips and nail beds should contact their health care professional right away. Patients should not stop taking Potiga without talking to their health care professional. Stopping such treatment suddenly can cause serious and life-threatening medical problems such as recurrence of seizures.Healthcare professionals and patients are encouraged to report adverse events or side effects related to the use of these products to the FDA's MedWatch SafetyInformation and Adverse Event Reporting Program:Complete and submit the report Online: www.fda.gov/MedWatch/report.htmDownload form or call 1-800-332-1088 to request a reporting form, then complete and return to the address on the pre-addressed form, or submit by fax to 1-800-FDA-0178[04/26/2013 - FDA Safety Communication - FDA]

Jim Hegarty, Photographer/Artist
I was born in a hospital in Ohio. Martha and Jonathon Hegarty were my parents and I was their mild-mannered son. Eventually I grew up after attending schools. Then I bought my first camera, and took pictures with it. Later I got married and lost my camera. A few years ago, I bought a digital camera and the rest is history, and until now this history has never been published.
My creative process begins with a digital photographic image. By manipulating the digital image file I have been able to achieve an almost watercolor texture and feel for my work.
I am a Civil Engineer in my day job, and my trusty Nikon is usually in my back seat. Many of these images were captured near my parked car. If I didn't have to work for a living, and dote upon my wife's every wish, I'd probably do more art-related stuff. So, if you buy a lot of my work, I will be encouraged to do more of it, but not enough that I have to give up golf.

Adventures in Federal Court: The High Cost of Lousy Paperwork
Vague license agreements and unregistered copyrights can be potent troublemakers, as Florida photographer Todd Latimer is learning from a handshake deal with a client that has caused him untold legal expense and grief. But is he a victim of his clients, his own carelessness, or some of both?
It all started back in late 2005, when motorcycle enthusiasts were abuzz about a new, supercharged bike model called the Kawasaki ZX-14, Latimer had what amounted to Top Secret clearance at a motorcycle shop to document the manufacture of two custom versions of the motorcycle.
The motorcycle shop, called Roaring Toyz, was customizing the bikes for Kawasaki, so that company could unveil the ZX-14 with much fanfare at Daytona Bike Week in 2006. Latimer was assigned by Two Wheel Tuner magazine to document the Roaring Toyz customization for an article.
While work was in progress, Kawasaki asked Roaring Toyz for some photographs of the custom ZX-14s so it could hype the bike at a Las Vegas press conference before Daytona Bike Week. Kawasaki balked at the lousy images shot by Roaring Toyz employees. So the shop asked Latimer if he would shoot some images for Kawasaki, and do it on the double.
Latimer ended up shooting through the night of February 23, 2006 to meet Kawasaki's deadline the next day. Kawasaki then distributed the images in a press packet at the Vegas press conference held before Daytona Bike Week. Not long afterwards Latimer stumbled across his images in the June 2006 edition of Hachette's Cycle World magazine.
Latimer sued for infringement, alleging unauthorized use of his images by Kawasaki and Hachette. He said he thought he was shooting the images for a poster Kawasaki intended to display at Daytona Bike Week. Roaring Toyz said it had told Latimer that the images were for the Vegas press conference.
Latimer's deal with Kawasaki was through Roaring Toyz; he never dealt with Kawasaki directly. Moreover, the agreement was oral, except for a few e-mails that referred to it vaguely. To make matters more complicated, Latimer's deal to shoot the rush images for Kawasaki was tangled up with another deal he'd made with Roaring Toyz to shoot images unrelated to the ZX-14. Those unrelated images were also shot on a handshake.
In short, the case turned into a lot of "he said, he said" claims and counter-claims with almost no paper trail. A federal district court in Florida threw out Latimer's lawsuit on the grounds that he gave an implied (read: unwritten) license to Kawasaki, and that Hachette's use of his images amounted to fair use.
Latimer appealed, only to have the federal appeals court in Atlanta affirm the lower court's finding of an implied license. The appeals court said there was evidence that Latimer knew Kawasaki intended to use the images for the Vegas press conference. But, the appeals court said, Kawasaki may have overstepped the terms of its implied license from Latimer. A jury will have to decide that, the appeals court said, and sent the case back to the district court.
Latimer also challenged the district court's dismissal of his claims against Hachette. Hachette didn't bring up the fair use defense, so the trial court overstepped by bringing it up for Hachette, Latimer argued. The appeals court agreed, and ordered the trial court to determine whether or not Hachette effectively waived the fair use defense by not bringing it up.
The bottom line? The misunderstandings are costing someone–possibly Latimer–a fortune in legal fees, and the case is far from over. Latimer's attorney, Zachary Messa of Tampa, wouldn't say who is paying the legal bills, or how much it has cost to date. But he said Latimer isn't eligible for statutory damages because he didn't register his images before the alleged infringement. So Latimer has to prove actual damages. (Attorneys usually don't take such cases on contingency–ie, without charge unless the photographer wins. Messa declined to say if his firm is handling the case on contingency.)
As for the lack of written agreements, Messa said it is always "prudent" for photographers to make sure they get written agreements from clients. "However, the industry doesn't operate like that," he said. "Why don't large companies [clients] insist on written agreements [that specify] what rights are being transferred?"
He adds, "Yes, it [Latimer's case] will come down to testimony as to what rights were granted. But is that going to be a problem? No."
Never mind that it has been a major problem for Latimer since 2006.

I cant say I would hav handled it as well as you did. I applaud your response. But yea, pepper spray would have been mine. As far as the officer, I would have asked him (probably with a mild tone) to cite any laws saying I have to stop my business and answer to a civillian then if Im not under arrest I will be going now. That last part probably wouldnt end well for me.
Neighborhood Watch Badge eh? Does it say CCW on there?

Media Advisory 09-015 The Science Behind "Angels and Demons" Is No Laughing Antimatter
Particle physicists to brief media and public on real science at CERN; May 19, 1 p.m. EDT
Publicity poster for "Angels and Demons," a Ron Howard film, starring Tom Hanks.

May 13, 2009
On May 15, 2009, Sony Pictures will release "Angels and Demons," and bring the world's largest particle physics laboratory to the silver screen.
Based on Dan Brown's best-selling novel, this major motion picture, starring Tom Hanks and directed by Ron Howard, focuses on a plot to destroy the Vatican using a small amount of antimatter. That antimatter is made using the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and is stolen from the European particle physics laboratory CERN. Parts of the movie were filmed at CERN.
Embracing this opportunity to discuss the real science of antimatter, the LHC and particle physics research, on May 19, 2009, the National Science Foundation (NSF) will host a live media briefing spotlighting three world-renowed physicists.
This NSF live teleconference briefing is part of a larger effort in which, worldwide, scientists working on experiments at the LHC will host lectures and other "Angels & Demons"-related events for members of the press and the public. More than 45 lectures are taking place across the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico as part of the series "Angels and Demons: The Science Revealed". Events are also planned in particle physics institutions across Europe, Asia, Central and South America. For more information on the LHC, visit CERN's Web site.
* U.S. participation in the Large Hadron Collider project is supported by the Department of Energy's Office of Science and the National Science Foundation.
* CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, is the world's leading laboratory for particle physics. It has its headquarters in Geneva. At present, its Member States are Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. India, Israel, Japan, the Russian Federation, the United States of America, Turkey, the European Commission and UNESCO have Observer status.
