This question already has an answer here:
Cloning the String arrays, using clone() method on java array. After cloning I'm expecting to have new Strings in new array - with new addresses allocated for them. But... I got a bit different behavior, plz look at this:
(It will print:
same address
public class ArrayCopyClone {
static String[] array2 = new String[] {"One", "Two", "Three"};
public static void main(String[] args) {
String[] copy2 = array2.clone();
if (copy2[0] != array2[0]) {
System.out.println("good"); // will never show up
} else {
System.out.println("same address"); // I'm expecting never be here
array2[0] = "new";
System.out.println(copy2[0]); // "One", and this is OK (it means we have a copy)
Is it related to string-shadowing? Should it be?

Even to a minimalist big boob crowd, this tape may be a disappointment. The ladies are naturally blessed with the right cup size, but most of them look like they'd rather be out shopping for a support bra than bagging their partners. And the guys are preoccupied too. Even the ever-ready Wayne Summers is a Mr. Softie in this show.
Not to help matters, the videography is washed out, making BBB hard on the eyes. Except for the opening segment, where Mark actually climaxes within Leanna's cleavage, the remainder of the male orgasms are shot from afar.

I am reading the AWS STS page describing how AWS STS can help avoid saving AWS credentials in app, and the way it ends up - seems to me - is that it solves the problem by having a TVM IAM account, but unfortunately leaves the problem 'storing TVM IAM credentials' without any answer.
Here is the page on 'Authenticating Users of AWS Mobile Applications with a Token Vending Machine': http://aws.amazon.com/articles/4611615499399490
On top of that I am really not sure how STS addresses and helps with these concerns:
1) Where does one store the TVM IAM account credentials other then in the app?
2) If I can steal the TVM IAM, how is STS more secure than having a restricted IAM account to the specific service in the first place?
3) If I change the TVM IAM account credentials for security reasons, how does STS prevent me from having to redeploy the app again?
I'm really confused as to adding a token layer really helps not putting credentials in the app or even add value to the existing IAM system. I must be missing something obviously.
Any help, plz?

He started the process by spending time drawing in its many

Mr Berry was also inspired by the photographic collection of

Global Deal: AXA PE Buys Italian Rubber-Component Maker from 3i
By Amy Or
New York – AXA Private Equity, a unit of insurer AXA SA , has bought an 82.4% stake in Italian rubber-component manufacturer Novotema SpA from private-equity firm 3i Group PLC.
Terms of the transaction weren't disclosed. The private-equity firm bought Novotema in July 2003 for EUR24 million.
"Novotema is already a leader in its field and we look forward to supporting the group as it continues to grow all over the world," said Paolo Bergonzini, an AXA Private Equity managing director and manager of the Italian Small Cap Enterprise Capital team, in a statement.
AXA Private Equity manages and advises on $28 billion assets.
As part of the transaction, Novotema's management team acquired the 17.6% of the business that AXA Private Equity doesn't have and will continue to manage the company after AXA Private Equity's investment.
Headquartered in Villongo, northeast of Milan, Novotema generates over half of its revenue in Germany. It designs and produces rubber components for applications in the automotive, medical, gas control and industrial sectors and its products include rubber components, membrane diaphragms, high-precision seals and gaskets.
The company has launched a joint venture in India in 2007, and plans to grow in emerging markets, the statement said.

so I just added 2.8 and now all my photo galleries are jacked up. Before I had 3 photos across (columns) all the way down...
now, if the testing I'm doing is right, when I go edit a gallery in the dashboard area and I choose how many columns I want - it is always 1 less -- then a random blank space, then more photos.
In the past if I had 9 photos, it would be a nice 3X3 block - 3 columns, 3 rows. Now its 2, then a gap, then 1 photo another gap, then 2 again, then 1... (see Doni and Ray post)
same at either extreme. Selecting 2 columns yeilds one long column all the way down the side... so I don't see how its a space issue (see "Fun" in May)
please help. how can I fix this!

Hello, I have this script, which allows for multiple songs to play. I just need to get it working with my graphical interface, which is just simply a play/pause button. But I'm having trouble getting the script (SongPlayer.as) to work with my button.
Like I said I just need this to work with a simple play/pause button, which I already have set up, I just need to tie it with this script. Also, I want the music to auto-play on load and to continue playing through all the songs without ever stopping. But I still want the option to pause playback (by clicking button) and then resume playback where it left off (by clicking button again). Any ideas?Code:package { import flash.display.*; import flash.media.*; import flash.events.*; public class SongPlayer extends Sprite { private var s:Sound; private var sc:SoundChannel; private var isPlaying:Boolean; private var songs:Array; public function SongPlayer() { songs = [Song1, Song2, Song3, Song4, Song5]; playSong(); } private function playSong():void { var index:int = Math.floor(Math.random() * songs.length); s = new songs[index]() as Sound; sc = new SoundChannel(); sc = s.play(0,0); sc.addEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, songComplete); songs.splice(index, 1); trace(s); } private function songComplete(e:Event):void { sc.stop(); if(songs.length > 0) { playSong(); } else { trace("all songs played"); } } } }

Posted by ESPN.com's Paul Kuharsky
Jack Del Rio is pulling out some old coaching standards, and quite frankly they feel a bit high-schoolish: shuffling lockers, sending a player home, scolding laughter at inappropriate times, indicating that he thinks the locker room music is too loud.
Early this week in response to a question about team chemistry not matching last year's, he called it the $64 million question. It seems reasonable to expect that a coach who got a deal with $20 million guaranteed through 2012 would have the answer. Perhaps behind the scenes he does. What he's shown publicly and other details that have trickled out suggest he doesn't.
With his underachieving team stuck at 3-5 and its season in jeopardy, scrambling name plates on locker stalls and turning down the stereo aren't going to fix a broken team with questionable construction.
And the head coach is the guy in charge of facilitating quality chemistry, an issue that seems a little late to address now, though I guess he's got to continually try to address it. Put it on the list of things that need to be better forged in training camp 2009, when he's certain to still be in place no matter how badly the second half may go.
The Jaguars' issues interconnect on several levels, creating uncertainty regarding their identity, their patience and their makeup, both mentally and in personnel.
Identity issues: Identity in the NFL doesn't automatically carry over from one year to the next -- it has to be established and re-established.
"We were accustomed to being a little tougher running the ball and a little tougher stopping the run," Del Rio told Jacksonville reporters this week. "We haven't been that rugged team consistently. But you don't get that by talking about it. You certainly have things that you set out that you want to do that you work on, that you emphasize and we're going to continue to do that. There are certain principles that I believe in that we're going to do, and when we do them well we'll have a little more fun."
Jacksonville wants to be a tough, physical, run-it-and-stop-the-run team. For a stretch, the Jaguars' M.O. was that Fred Taylor and Maurice Jones-Drew were going to keep coming at you on offense and that the mammoth tackle duo of John Henderson and Marcus Stroud would prove too much of a load for an entire afternoon.
If the team felt it had to deal Stroud to Buffalo, OK. But it clearly overestimated what it could get from 31-year old Rob Meier, who had excelled in a supplemental role but looks to be overextended now. The pocket isn't regularly collapsed from the inside any more, putting even more pressure on the edge rushers to get the quarterback off his spot.
Losing two starting guards on opening day and playing their first six games without the starting center made things very difficult for the Jaguars, and ultimately they may point to those losses as their undoing.
Taylor is renowned for the 4.7 yard-per-carry average he brought into the season, but he's at 3.3 this year. Jones-Drew is down from 5.1 to 4.2. Because of the ineffectiveness of the run game and because they've played from behind more often, the team is on pace for 82 fewer rushes than it had last season and 57 more pass attempts. That is a significant and unplanned shift.
Pass pressure: Well put-together teams space out players. It's not always easy, but ideally any position group is a mix of veterans, players at their peak and youngsters. Jacksonville failed to rush Peyton Manning and Tom Brady sufficiently in 2007 and focused their draft on edge rushers -- spending their top two picks on Derrick Harvey and Quentin Groves. The kids have combined for 15 tackles and 1.5 sacks so far.
They should be starting to show more after half a season, but the Jaguars shouldn't be in position to be so reliant on them. There is more pressure on them because Paul Spicer, 33, and Reggie Hayward, perhaps an old 29 after a serious Achilles injury in 2006, have been underwhelming with just three sacks between them.
The Jaguars were expected to blitz more under new coordinator Gregg Williams, but no member of the secondary has a sack and linebackers account for just three of the team's 11. They rank 29th in sacks per pass and are on pace for 22, a drop-off of 15 from 2007.
The Jaguars need to be patient with the young ends, but that doesn't help them much right now as they try to salvage things. Quarterbacks are too comfortable against them with a passer rating of 91.7, up more than 15 points from last season.
Ineffective additions: While they drafted at end, the Jags added veteran receivers, signing Jerry Porter (six years, $30 million, at least $8.6 million guaranteed) and trading for Troy Williamson.
Their combined totals at the halfway point: nine games, six catches, 61 yards, no touchdowns.
Porter was stalled after hamstring surgery in the summer that cost him training camp, but Del Rio's hardly been enthusiastic about him. Quarterback David Garrard sounds intent on getting Porter involved.
"I still do not think he is quite the way he was when he first got here, but that is what happens when come off of major surgery," Garrard said. "He is definitely at a point now where he can definitely start making plays for us. I am going to start looking for him more."
Soon, Jacksonville may not have much of a choice. Matt Jones has been a rare bright spot, but the team's leading receiver is awaiting word from the league on his appeal of a three-game suspension for a violation of the league's substance abuse policy. When he disappears, things will become even more difficult of
Linebacker play: Del Rio was a linebacker and the Jaguars are supposed to be built around a strong group. But leading tackler Mike Peterson was the guy sent home Wednesday, and Daryl Smith and Justin Durant haven't been the sort of dynamic playmakers the team needs.
How to solve it all?
Del Rio falls back on a time-honored cliché.
"Just make plays," he said. "I think you make plays, you make more plays, make one play, make another play. I think as you start doing that, you start stringing them together you start feeling good about it. You just need to play. There is no magic or speech or words or fairy dust or anything like that. That's why coaches are always talking about just going back to work, because that's what you have to do. You have to get ready for that next opportunity and then when you get the next opportunity, play well."
Even if that ball gets rolling Sunday in Detroit, I expect at season's end the Jaguars will be left lamenting how it was two weeks too late.

Samut Sakhon (Thai: สมุทรสาคร, pronounced [sā.mùt sǎː.kʰɔ̄ːn]) is one of the central provinces (changwat) of Thailand, established by the Act Establishing Changwat Samut Prakan, Changwat Nonthaburi, Changwat Samut Sakhon, and Changwat Nakhon Nayok, Buddhist Era 2489 (1946), which came into force on March 9, 1946.
Neighboring provinces are (from the southwest clockwise) Samut Songkhram, Ratchaburi, Nakhon Pathom, and Bangkok.
The word "samut" originates from the Sanskrit word "samudra" meaning "ocean", and the word "sakhon" from Sanskrit "sagara" meaning "lake".
Samut Sakhon is at the mouth of the Tha Chin Klong River, a distributary of the Chao Phraya River, to the Gulf of Thailand. At the coast are many fields used for sea salt production.
The oldest name of the area is Tha Chin, probably referring to the fact that it was a trading port where Chinese junks arrived. In 1548 the city Sakhon Buri was established, and was renamed in 1704 to Mahachai after the khlong Mahachai which was dug then and connected with the Tha Chin River near the town. It was renamed by King Mongkut to its current name, however the old name Mahachai is still sometimes used by the locals.
The provincial seal shows a Chinese junk in front of the coast, with a smoking chimney. Both refer to the old trading tradition as well as the local industries.
The provincial tree is the devil tree (Alstonia scholaris). The provincial slogan is Fishing city, factory town, agricultural ground, historic site
Administrative divisions[edit]
The province is subdivided into three districts (Amphoe). The districts are further subdivided into 40 communes (tambon) and 288 villages (muban).
Altogether there are seven municipal (thesaban) areas within the province - Samut Sakhon is the only city (thesaban nakhon)[citation needed], Krathum Baen and Om Noi are the two towns (thesaban mueang)[citation needed], and there are further four townships (thesaban tambon). The non-municipal areas are administrated by 30 tambon administrative organizations (TAO).
Wat Yai Chom Prasat (วัดใหญ่จอมปราสาท) It is an ancient temple constructed approximately 400 years ago. Inside the temple, there are important historical remains. The Fine Arts Department registered the temple as a national ancient monument on 27 September 1936.
Wat Suthiwat Wararam (วัดสุทธิวาตวราราม) or Wat Chong Lom (วัดช่องลม) A beautifully decorated royal temple and a model of the developed one. At the front of the temple is enshrined a statue of King Rama V, celebrating his royal journey to Tha Chalom and its establishment as the first sanitary district of Thailand.
Samut Sakhon Science Centre for Education (ศูนย์วิทยาศาสตร์เพื่อการศึกษาจังหวัดสมุทรสาคร) The building houses an exhibition on astrology and space. Outside the building, scientific gardens are organized as a geological garden, health garden, physics amusement park, organic agricultural garden, and herb garden.
Wat Khok Kham (วัดโคกขาม) The interesting part of this temple is the old ubosoth decorated around with Sema boundary markers. Adjacent is the Phanthai Norasing Shrine which was a temporary shrine and a store of antique objects concerning the story of Phanthai Norasing.
Phanthai Norasing Shrine (ศาลพันท้ายนรสิงห์) This shrine was constructed in memory of Phanthai Norasing. Phrachao Suea had Phanthai Norasing executed against the former's own consent, ordered the construction of a temporary shrine and put Phanthai Norasing's head as well as the broken figurehead of the Ekkachai royal barge in the shrine to be a symbol of his honesty and loyalty.
Khlong Khok Kham (คลองโคกขาม): A very winding canal. Some parts of it are 90-degree curves. The tide is so strong that it is very difficult to control a boat. This caused an accident when Phrachao Suea went along Khlong Khok Kham on his private trip by the Ekkachai royal barge. The barge hit a branch of a tree and Phanthai Norasing as the steersman took responsibility by being executed.
Pom Wichian Chodok (ป้อมวิเชียรโชฎก) Wichien Chodok Fort is an ancient brick fort in the old Sakorn Buri city.[1][2]
The City Pillar Shrine (ศาลหลักเมือง) A sacred place as well as a special centre for the fishermen in the province. Every time before sailing off, they have to pay respect and light a firework in front of the city pillar shrine for good luck.
Talat Maha Chai (Tharuea Thetsaban) (ตลาดมหาชัย, ท่าเรือเทศบาล) It is a centre of commerce and transport of Samut Sakhon. Talat Maha Chai is a spot where there are boats to various districts. There are charters as well as regular long-tailed boats to Khlong Khok Kham.
Saphan Pla (สะพานปลา) The biggest fish bridge and a modern one, second only to that in Bangkok. Modern facilities are utilized to transfer large amount of sea products in every kind. Also, it is a wholesale centre of sea fish.
Wat Pa Chai Rangsi (วัดป่าชัยรังสี) The temple was constructed in 1982. Its unique pattern of architecture, similar to the stone sanctuaries in the northeast of Thailand, is the most interesting aspect of the temple.
Wat Bang Pla (วัดบางปลา) An important temple of the Mon minority in Samut Sakhon. King Rama V went to the temple when Luangpu Thao Kao Yot was the abbot. Moreover, Krommaluang Chumphon Khet Udomsak had a long covered walkway constructed with its eaves board being beautifully engraved.
Ao Maha Chai Mangrove Forest Natural Resource Study Centre (พื้นที่ศึกษาธรรมชาติป่าชายเลนอ่าวมหาชัย) In Ban Ya Phraek at the mouth of the Tha Chin River. The centre is in the area of the National Forest Reserve on the west side of Ao Maha Chai.
Shrimp Farms and Salt Fields (นากุ้งนาเกลือ) Samut Sakhon's coast is well-suited for operating shrimp farms and salt fields, especially in Kalong, Na Khok, Ban Bo, Bang Thorat, Khok Kham, and Phanthai Norasing.
Wat Nang Sao (วัดนางสาว) During a war between Thailand and Burma, a group of Thai immigrants fled via the Chin River. Elderly men and women hid in an old church. The people of Thailand won this war and many immigrated to the settlement in this area. In this group, there were two siblings, a brother and a sister who lived in a church sanctuary. The sister thought that the church had deteriorated so much that a new one needed to be built. The sister wanted to follow the promise from her own prayer that, if she survived, she would restore the church. So the church was completely restored and renamed "Porm Ma Ja Re". Later, the locals called this church "Wat Nong Sao" and the name was further adjusted to "Wat Nang Sao". The most important part of this ancient temple is a brick ordination hall with a curved base. It has a single entrance, and is named Bot Ma-ha-Ut. The ancient style terracotta tiled roof, whose beams were made of logs and twin sandstone boundary markers, add to the authentic feel of the site. In front of the temple next to the The Chin River is also a fish sanctuary, full of striped catfish.
Cruising is one of the interesting water activities for tourists in Samut Sakhon. The route starts from the Phanthai Norasing Shrine at Khlong Khok Kham.
Orchard and Flower Garden Tour in Amphoe Krathum Baen and Amphoe Ban Phaeo. In both districts, the locals do orchards, vegetable plantation, orchid farms and coconut groves. The former one is famous for the orchards of Nam Hom (fragrant juice) coconuts, pomelos and orchid farms along Setthakit Road (3091), while in the latter, there are vineyards and guava orchards along Highway 3097.
The Seafood Festival takes place during February or March every year at the embankment in front of the City Pillar Shrine to promote the reputation of seafood products of the province as well as the agricultural produce of the Ban Phaeo people such as fruits and flowers, including the processed food industry. Also, there is a fair offering seafood and handicraft products.
The Ban Phaeo Agriculture Fair is organized during February or March every year to promote the agricultural produce of the farmers in Amphoe Ban Phaeo, the most well-known place in the province and the biggest one in the country for the production of fruits, flowers and agricultural products.
The Chaopho Lak Mueang Procession takes place in June every year at the embankment in front of the city hall. The "Chaopho Lak Mueang" is then placed in a palanquin on a fishing boat, which is beautifully decorated with flags, and floated along the Tha Chin River from Talat Maha Chai to Tha Chalom in the area of Wat Suwannaram and further to Wat Chong Lom, providing an opportunity for the people to pay respect and gain good fortune.
The Tha Chalom Vegetarian Festival is organized during the period of days 1-9 of the waxing moon in the 9th Chinese lunar month every year. It is a serene vegetarian festival of a ceremonial nature. It purifies the body and spirit and it is attended by a large number of people.
The Honey Offering Festival takes place in Wat Khlong Khru, Amphoe Mueang, Samut Sakhon, on the full moon of the 10th lunar month to pass on the traditional culture and festival of the Thai Mon people by paying respect to the monks. The monks will preserve the honey and use it as medicine. The Thai Mon people believe that those who offer honey to the monks will obtain good luck in return and gain prosperity financially and in honour, both in this and in the next life.
The Bodhisattva Kwan Yin Homage-paying Fair takes place from 19–23 November every year in the area of Wat Chong Lom to pay homage to Bodhisattva Kwan Yin.

Scores of trucks stuck at UAE-Saudi border
Abu Dhabi: Slow clearance by border authorities has been causing a more than 10-kilometre long tailback on the Al Ghuwaifat border during the past two weeks, truck drivers told Gulf News on Tuesday.
They said the situation reminded them of the crises which occurred several times since June 2009 when the queue of trucks stretched for kilometres on the Al Sila-Al Ghuwaifat border, causing misery for hundreds of truck drivers.
"There was a 14-kilometre long queue on the road on Monday night," said Ashir, an Indian truck driver. "Now there is an eight- kilometre long queue which may extend up to 13 to 14 kilometres by late night as many trucks reach the border late evening," he said at 6pm on Tuesday.
Drivers said about 4,000 trucks were stuck at the border due to slow clearance. Earlier it used to take 24 to 36 hours to cross the border, but now it takes four to five days, a driver said.
They said they were not aware of the reason behind the delay. "There has been strong, dusty wind and it has been very cold at night. Moreover the day temperature will also start going up in the coming days," one driver said.
But a senior UAE official told Gulf News the problem would be solved very soon.
"We have sent senior officials to the border to sort out the problem in consultation with Saudi Authorities," said Major General Nasser Al Awadi Al Menhali, acting Assistant Undersecretary of the Ministry of Interior for Naturalisation and Residency.
He said the issue was set to be solved by Tuesday evening.

I'm using the WP-Filebase Pro plugin to allow Admin to upload documents and restrict some of them to the 'members'. These are people who have been elevated to the wordpress 'Subscriber' user level.
So far - all good.
However there is now a requirement for a more nuanced 'membership'.
We'd like to create some mini-groups (7 or 8 in total) within the larger members' group.
ALL the members should continue to be able to see the existing restricted documents.
But these mini-groups will be able to view documents that are made available only to their specific mini-group - not other mini-groups.
So I need a facility for horizontal groups each with exclusive rights.
Can anybody recommend a solid membership plugin that will do this for me? Premium is fine.

China Vanke's Sales Fall; Project Launches Slow
SHANGHAI— China Vanke Co., the country's largest property developer by market share, said sales in August fell from a year ago due to a slower pace of project launches and lower average sales prices.
Vanke's property sales in August fell 13% from a year earlier to 10.48 billion yuan ($1.64 billion), its first year-on-year sales decline in 2011 and a reversal of July's 7.7% sales increase.
"About 80% of Vanke's project launches were in second- and third-tier cities, and...overall, average sales prices were lower compared with the same time last year," Tan Huajie, Vanke's board secretary, said in a statement.
"Restrictions on loans and home purchases have been heaped on the market, leading to intensified competition," he added.
While Vanke's sales were down from August 2010, they were up 15% from July, when they totaled 9.08 billion yuan. The floor area of properties sold was up 5.0% from a year earlier to 960,000 square meters, and up 23% from 782,000 square meters in July.
Mr. Tan said Vanke is mostly eyeing projects in cities that have implemented limits on home purchases, so an extension of the curbs to more cities would have a limited impact on the company.
China earlier this year imposed curbs on home purchases in 40 major cities, including Beijing and Shanghai, and the housing ministry is in talks with other local governments on further property curbs. Analysts said further moves to cool the property market could lead to lower prices and transactions, especially in the second half of the year, when more supply is due to hit the market.
Taizhou city in coastal Zhejiang province became the first city last week to launch the extended restrictions, since Premier Wen Jiabao said in July that these curbs will be extended to smaller cities, as housing prices remained stubbornly high.
Limits on home purchases, via bans on third and subsequent homes, have been one of the toughest property-cooling measures in the major cities, but China still faces rising risks as investors shift their focus to cities where curbs aren't in effect or are loosely enforced.

A model for a large investor trading at market indifference prices. I: single-period case
We develop a single-period model for a large economic agent who trades with market makers at their utility indifference prices. A key role is played by a pair of conjugate saddle functions associated with the description of Pareto optimal allocations in terms of the utility function of a representative market maker.

Jose Diance-Cruz's Death Ruled Accident, But Coroner Will Look Into Whether LAPD Cop Was Drunk When His Pickup Crashed
Jose Diance-Cruz, left.
The Los Angeles County Coroner's office will conduct toxicology tests on the body of LAPD Officer Jose Diance-Cruz, who died in a solo-vehicle accident over the weekend. One of the things coroner's investigators are looking into is whether the off-duty 23-year-old was driving under the influence, they told us.
His Ford F150 pickup hit a guardrail on the Van Nuys Boulevard offramp from the eastbound 101 reeway about 3:20 a.m. Saturday, according to City News Service.
LAPD Chief Charlie Beck mentioned the loss during the Police Commission's weekly meeting today, but did not mention the toxicology test. According to an LAPD summary of Beck's comments:
He said Officer Diance had just starting his career with the Department and had previously been a Police Cadet Captain in the Valley and a Police Student Worker.
Coroner's Assistant Chief Ed Winter told the Weekly Diance-Cruz's death has been officially ruled the result of a "blunt force trauma accident."

But, he said, toxicology tests would be conducted to determine if the officer was under the influence of alcohol or drugs at the time of the crash.
He said results wouldn't be available for about six weeks.
View Larger Map
TV news footage of the aftermath of the accident showed a guard rail going clear through the center of pickup Diance-Cruze was driving. A CHP officer at the scene told news crews the cop was thrown from the vehicle and they found him still buckled into his seat.
It was a rough weekend for the LAPD: Another officer, Joseph Bezak, was arrested on suspicion of DUI near LAX after LAX police allegedly spotted him riding a motorcycle the wrong way through the Sepulveda Tunnel.
There had been enough instances of off-duty cops and drunk driving in recent years -- including two suspected DUI deaths -- that Beck addressed the matter last June.
