Annotated Scala, Groovy, JRuby, Rhino, Jython ...
By sandoz on Oct 30, 2007
Java runtime annotations are stored in Java bytecode using attributes, as specified by the Java virtual machine specification. So one can use toolkits like the ASM toolkit for creating and reading annotations in addition to using the Java reflection API for reading annotations.
Implementations of languages that compile to Java bytecode can also leverage runtime annotations and it can make for really smooth integration between classes/objects written in the language and frameworks, such as Jersey (JAX-RS), Metro (JAX-WS, JAXB), JUnit and Spring etc. written in Java, that process annotations.
So what's the support for runtime annotations like out there for some common JVM-based language implementations?
Scala has by far the most robust support for annotations. The annotation syntax is very similar to Java. JAX-RS and Jersey specify support for runtime annotations on classes, fields, methods and method parameters. I can annotate Scala classes using JAX-RS annotations and the Jersey runtime correctly processes the thoses classes (as shown here). In fact since the integration between Java and Scala is so smooth and Scala being such a pleasurable language to code in i could not resist including in the Jersey distribution an example written in Scala.
Groovy 1.1 supports runtime annotations and like Scala the syntax is very similar to Java. Originally i played around with Jersey and Groovy 1.1 Beta. This version supported annotations on classes, method and field but not on method parameters. Recently downloaded Groovy 1.1 RC 1 and this version supports annotations on method parameters. So i can annotate Groovy classes and support all the Jersey features as i can in Scala (Groovy 1.1 is not yet final where as Scala 2.6 is so Scala's support is considered more robust). Since Groovy requires no compile step i can script Jersey resources (more on this later in another blog).
JRuby (Ruby)
Now things start to get a little fuzzy. My understanding is Ruby does not currently support annotations but that it is very easy to do so because of Ruby's meta-programming capability, as shown here. Charles Nutter (one of the JRuby leads) says here:
"JRuby doesn't support annotations because Ruby doesn't support annotations. So what! We can extend Ruby..."
and further says "I've planted the seed here and on the JRuby dev list...let's see if it germinates.", but i don't know if that seed has taken root...
Rhino (JavaScript)
JavaScript is in a similar position to JRuby, annotations can be added to JavaScript using meta-programming techniques, as shown here.
Rhino has the ability to integrate with Java such that a JavaScript object can implement one or more Java-based interfaces or extend a Java class. However, it does not seem possible to implement a (plain old) JavaScript object and pass it over to the Java side as a (plain old) Java object. Intuitively this would seem possible given the existing support. It looks like the Rhino source code is still being worked on even though the last release (1.6R7) was over a year ago. That's good. So i took a look at the code, specifically the JavaAdaptor and ClassFileWriter classes.
Now i may not know what i am getting into here, i could be pulling on a thread connected to a really big hair ball, it appears "tricky but doable". Once that is done it is just a simple matter of mapping the annotations declared in the JavaScript to equivalent byte code... anyone up for a challenge?
Jython (Python)
Python has function decorators in Python 2.4, function annotations and class decorators implemented in the subversion repository of python 3.0 (or Python 3000, it says here that it will go final in August 2008). So perhaps Python 3000, when it is ready, would be the right place to start any Java-based annotation support.
The latest stable release of Jython is version 2.2.1 supporting Python 2.2. From the roadmap Jython 2.5 is next (no date given) and this release will target Python 2.5. It says the core developers will be:
"concentrating on making a clean 2.5, while improving the java integration"
So maybe something specific to Jython w.r.t. to annotation support could be implemented. Although the Jython roadmap looks on the right track i suspect the 2.5 release won't be happening any time soon and the 3.0 release is way over the horizon. However, the competition between language implementations is in rude health so perhaps things will zip along faster than I expect.

Your lopez is list on ebay right now. Over the 600 mark and is listed as a real Gerry signed bolt. There is another mint lopez listed for over 2700! We will see what happens. The signature on the board does look real, are you sure it is rice paper? The rice paper signatures were normally in the top right hand corner of the board and not on the stringer.
However, I've glassed a board or two and am 100% positive that the Gerry Lopez signature on the board I saw was a rice paper laminate. Both myself and the owner of the local surf shop, who is an authority on vintage surfboards, thought it was a Hobie made board. He guessed Terry Martin (who is still a hell of a shaper, but his balsa boards are the valuable ones) and thought that it was a very early example of the "A Pure Source" brand, which were the legally licensed, mainland made Bolts and placed it's resale value at 250$ US.
As soon as you see the board in person, you know it wasn't made for Hawai'i surf. That's a SoCal board. Different waves, different boards.
A Gerry with a leash plug?
Good luck with the board. I got a Rory russel lightning bolt in the stash. sick and thick!
Looks like most of my message got lost ... Brought this Gerry Lopez to the mainland when I moved from Maui in '92. Pretty sure this is the real Holy Grail Board ... played Paintball in the jungle with Laird Hamilton, Gerry and his brother,etc. in 1988 and 1989 ... Super cool guys. Found the board under a deck upcountry on Maui. In great shape ... been in my family room for twenty years. I'm quite sure it's the real deal. Getting rid of a few of my toys. Can you guys give me an idea of what it's worth. Thanks
Roy Stuart would know. And he'd sell it for a million & one bucks.
Nice board. No idea of the value. There are a few folks on this board that'll probably point you in the right direction though.

SAN JOSE -- When Miguel Vivaldo arrived at Sunrise Middle School on Monday morning, it was in a wheelchair. Miguel, 13, told friends and teachers that he had fallen in the shower because he was so tired after completing a 100-mile ultra-marathon over the weekend.
But just when he had persuaded everyone that he was hurt, the mischievous eighth-grader stood up to show that he was just fine after completing the mind-boggling distance in 23 hours, 48 minutes, 21 seconds at the Run-de-Vous in San Martin.
That makes Miguel quite possibly the youngest person ever to finish a 100-mile event in less than 24 hours. And perhaps even more remarkable, Run-de-Vous race director Rajeev Patel said Miguel covered the last two miles in just 18 minutes.
But Monday, Miguel sounded almost as proud of his successful prank.
"I fooled most of my friends and even Teresa, too," Miguel said of Sunrise director Teresa Robinson.
He got me, admitted Robinson.
"I really felt terrible when he rolled into school," Robinson said. "But then he finally smiled."
Miguel already had plenty to smile about after he placed 11th among 30 finishers. Fifty-nine runners had started the ultra-marathon.
"He just executed his strategy perfectly," said Kermit Cuff, who coaches Miguel. "He didn't make any mistakes. I don't know how he does this. It's like he has been doing this for years and years."
Actually, Miguel has been running for less than a year. But he quickly boosted his mileage to marathon distances -- and beyond. They chose the Run-de-Vous to attempt a 100-miler because it was held on a flat, two-mile loop that allowed friends and family to take turns running with Miguel.
For the first 88 miles, he would run a mile-and-a-half and then walk the other half-mile of each loop. He took only a single, 10-minute break, where he caught a quick cat nap. But Miguel ran the final 12 miles when he realized that he could break 24 hours.
"He just took off at that point," Cuff said. "I just don't know how anyone his age can run like that."
The result, Patel wrote in an email, is that "to the best of my knowledge," Miguel had become the youngest runner to finish a 100-mile race in less than 24 hours.
"I didn't think I was going to finish as quickly as I did," Miguel added. "But I started putting more effort into it at the end. I was tired and sore. But it was fun."
Cuff said he knows of only one other boy close to Miguel's age who has finished a 100-mile race. Earlier this year, 12-year-old Colby Wentlandt completed a difficult trail course near Las Vegas' Red Rock Canyon Natural Conservation Area with a time of 32 hours, 7 minutes, 30 seconds.
But there is something much more difficult than running for Miguel. Robinson had him speak to the school about his accomplishment.
"I'm pretty shy," he said. "But I told them that if you decide to do something, you should never give up on that goal."

Be a Beta Tester for AutismTrack
HandHold Adaptive® (the company behind iPrompts®) is seeking testers for its new, yet-to-be-released application, tentatively called AutismTrack.
The application runs on the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad, and is designed to be a powerful new journaling tool for parents of those with autism. After setting up a profile for an individual with autism, parents (or other caregivers) can easily track the individual's behaviors on a daily basis. Daily interventions, like diets, supplements, therapies and medicines may also be tracked. With Apple's simple, touch-screen interface, it takes only seconds, and you can do it from wherever you'd like.
June 25, 2010 at 7:28 am
We have an I Pad now and my son is so into it that I don't get a chance to use it. Any assistive technology that Austism speaks wants to beta test, please let me know! Jean Paul is 9 and probably behind his peers socially by a year. He is also having a hard time in math because it is abstract to him. We have him on dietary supplements and he has just started a GF/CF diet. He was diagnosed with Asperger's in the fall of 2008.

We have an 11-year-old son with severe autism and seizures that seem to be increasing now that he's reaching adolescence. As he shares a home with us and his natural Mom, as well as receiving care at school and at therapy, it makes keeping track of his diet and activities and responses very challenging. Communication from person to person is difficult, and often inconsistent. This application offers new hope as an easy-to-use, universal manner of keeping track of his progress and diet, which might enable us to better track the causes of not only his seizures, but also help him make as much progress as possible.
The big question. If we join this BETA testing, as a group of caregivers who are all presently taxed to the limit, is the hardware provided or is there any means of subsidizing one unit (a used IPad or whatever it works on) for our child to carry from place to place with him while we test this product.
We are very eager to be a part of this study, both for the betterment of our son's life, and for the progress and eventual promotion of the software that could help so many others.
This could offer help to so many.
Thank you for your efforts,
Jennifer Iacono

LINDEN - FBI agents determined Thursday that a Linden well believed to hold the remains of murder victims buried there decades ago by Wesley Shermantine and Loren Herzog is 200 feet deep.
Initial surveying led them to believe the well's bottom was 50 feet down, FBI spokeswoman Gina Swankie said in a news release at the end of the team's fourth day of preparation of the well for excavation.
While much deeper, the bottom of the well also is filled with water, so agents said they will next bring in specialized pumps to drain the water before trying to send a camera down and inspect what lies at the bottom.
Draining it may take days, Swankie said.
The work that began Monday on Flood Road marks a second effort to recover murder victims of Shermantine and Herzog, two men who grew up in Linden and were arrested in 1999, putting an end to their 15-year killing spree.
Herzog, paroled in 2010, hanged himself one year ago, about the same time Shermantine began revealing where the victims were buried.
Shermantine remains on death row at San Quentin State Prison.
Guided by Shermantine's tips, investigators from the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office found the remains of three women and a fetus nearly one year ago, in a well near the one now being excavated.
Two other victims were found buried in Calaveras County.
The FBI has since taken over the recovery effort and in August took Shermantine out of prison to help identify the current dig site, which may hold one or more murdered remains. The killing duo is believed to have murdered 19 people.

The Ohio Department of Transportation District 11 has hired Beaver Excavating Co. of Canton to repair a landslide on I-77 near the Tuscarawas/Guernsey County line.
The southbound travel lane was closed Thursday because of the slip.
Beaver Excavating will set up concrete barriers for the work zone today. One lane of traffic will continue to be maintained in the southbound passing lane, and northbound lanes will not be affected.
Over the next two weeks, ODOT's Office of Geotechnical Engineering will begin soil analysis work, including bore sampling.
Depending on the results of that analysis, remediation work could include construction of a retaining wall or a combination of temporary repairs, such as excavation and soil nails, until a long-term, permanent fix is identified.
Officials are currently anticipating a summer completion date, and early cost estimates are about $1 million.

(WOMENSENEWS)--Washington politicians in favor of the Iraq war like to talk about how they are "planting seeds of democracy," supporting "freedom-loving people" and "fighting terrorists in their streets so we don't have to fight them in ours."
What they rarely talk about are the vanishing freedoms for Iraqi women, for whom democracy is a receding goal. Their lives are being destroyed by the thugs in their streets that the United States and its dwindling number of allies have no hope of controlling.
There's not nearly enough coverage of this outrage.
The woman cutting my hair, asking what I was working on, was stunned when I told her about the few but powerful articles and radio and television transcripts I'd read describing harassment of Iraqi women by fundamentalists eager to see them veiled, jobless and uneducated; widowed, destitute women's grim decisions to turn to prostitution to survive; raped by police, soldiers, contractors.
"I had no idea," she said. "We're not getting this from our news."
Reporting and commentary about Iraqi women's frightening predicament is gradually emerging, according to my Nexis-Lexis search of the last six months.
The most recent stories were spurred by the March 6 release of a devastating report about conditions for Iraqi women by the global women's human rights group, Madre.
Inter Press, Women's eNews, OneWorld.net and others moved summaries of the report. The Albany (N.Y.) Times-Union ran a commentary by Madre communication director Yifat Susskind, who also was interviewed on "Between the Lines," a syndicated radio program. California's Stockton Record published an essay by Margee Ensign, dean and associate provost of the University of the Pacific's School of International Studies. It was good to see this issue dealt with on newspapers' op-ed pages, where women's concerns are so often absent.
'Pushing a Rock Uphill'
The following week, in the San Francisco Chronicle, political consultant and Republican activist Eileen E. Padberg, who worked in Iraq from 2004 to 2006, wrote, "Every day, my work was like pushing a rock uphill--because our own people could not see the incredible benefits of providing equal opportunities for women . . . providing Iraqi women opportunities was low on the list of priorities for our U.S. contractors as well as our State Department . . . Not only did they face the 'good old boy' system in Iraq, not necessarily of Arab culture, but of American contractors . . . Iraqi women didn't have the financial backing needed to meet (reconstruction) start-up requirements, nor did they have U.S. partners.
"In failing them, we failed ourselves. I truly believe if we had kept our commitment to the Iraqi women, we would not be in the situation we are in today," Padberg said.
A few months earlier, in a Baltimore Sun op-ed, Kavita N. Ramdas, president-CEO of the Global Fund for Women, flayed the assumption that war would improve the lives of women.
"The Global Fund for Women and the humanitarian community have long known that the presence of military troops in a region of conflict increases prostitution, violence against women and the potential for human trafficking," Ramdas wrote. Furthermore, the failure of U.S. officials to listen to secular Iraqi women leaders led to a new Iraqi constitution that elevated Islamic law over women's rights. "For the first time in more than 50 years, Iraqi women's right to be treated as equal citizens has been overturned," she said.
In addition to reporting on economic and civic reverses Iraqi women have experienced, more attention is being paid to the danger they are in. The Women's Media Center in New York mounted a campaign, "Action for Abeer," to raise awareness of the gang rape and murder of 14-year-old Abeer Qassim Hamza Al-Janabi in March 2006 and push for justice in this case, in which five U.S. soldiers and an Iraq war veteran have been charged. The center's approach has been to publish and link to articles and commentary that highlight the deadly conditions for women in Iraq's war zones.
Increasing Poignancy
Reporting about the plight of Iraqi women seemed to grow in poignancy, depth and audience reach during the six-month period I studied.
The first was an Oct. 28 report from Agence France Presse on the murder of Iraqi women's rights champion Halima Ahmed Hussein al-Juburi, shot at home in front of her three children.
The next day, writing in the New York Times, Sabrina Tavernise began a story this way:
"The things the women missed were almost too small to notice at first."
Their lives were "shrinking," they told Tavernise. They had ceased organizing or attending family gatherings, even weddings; were frightened by security guards at an Iraqi ministry run by religious Shiites, who warned them about the consequences of "inappropriate" dress; they were less affectionate, less trusting, more fearful, more forgetful.
On Nov. 15, UPI reported the assassination of two Iraqi female journalists, Lama Riyad and Fadia Tai.
On Dec. 7, Inter Press Service readers were able to look through the eyes of reporters Dahr Jamail and Ali Al-fadhily at the lives of Iraq's many widows.
Kidnapping for Sex, Ransom
After decades of violence have left more than a million men dead, detained or disabled, the widows are the sole support of their families in a country less able, and whose religious leaders are now less willing, to offer them work. The authors followed up that report on Dec. 11 with a harrowing account of the rising violence--including kidnapping for sex or ransom--that Iraqi women face. "Most of us now stay at home unless we absolutely must go out for food," one said.
On Jan. 3, NPR's Isra Abdulhadi reported for "All Things Considered" about the challenges Iraqi women have finding suitable mates for marriage. "In a culture where marriage and family are the highest aspirations for both women and men, that's a disaster," said host Renee Montaigne.
"There's a growing stream of men from all over the Middle East eager to prey on the most desperate refugees from the war," reported Elizabeth Palmer for the "CBS Evening News" Dec. 7. Iraqi women living in refugee camps they'd fled to in Syria and Jordan were turning to prostitution to support themselves, Palmer said.
On Feb. 21, Marc Santora, Damien Cave and other New York Times employees wrote about how an Iraqi rape survivor appeared on satellite channel Al-Jazeera to talk about the crime and struck down an old taboo, in which "rape is not mentioned by the victims, and rarely by the authorities." The woman, a Sunni, was promptly castigated by Shiite leaders, who called her charges propaganda. Fear, hate and sexism seeped through every line of their account.
What has come through in all these reports is how utterly alone these women are, and how thorough has been their betrayal by their government and ours.
Alternative and mainstream media must build on what they've published and aired thus far; the national Sunday talk shows in particular need to take up this aspect of the Iraq war. Only then can we comprehend the full human consequences.

As 49ers arch nemesis Richard Sherman basked in the glow Wednesday of becoming the NFL's highest-paid cornerback, he said something that should resonate with Michael Crabtree and 22 other 49ers.
Sherman, a Stanford product, spoke about the importance of landing his extension (four years, $40 million guaranteed) now rather than entering this season on the end of his rookie deal.
"You never want something like this hanging over your head," Sherman said in a press conference at Seattle Seahawks headquarters.
"Obviously you're still going to play the same way and everything. But it allows you to play a little more free, no stress. You don't have to worry about anything but 'ball. Your family is taken care of. Now you can focus on 'ball. Nobody else can bother you, at least for a little while."
Sherman secured that massive contract after propelling the Seahawks to their first Super Bowl win. Along the way, he deflected a Colin Kaepernick pass to Crabtree that got intercepted by Malcolm Smith and sealed the Seahawks' NFC Championship win.
Crabtree has one year remaining on his rookie contract, with a base salary of $3,500,000. Kaepernick, running back Frank Gore, guard Mike Iupati and defensive tackle Glenn Dorsey are other starters not under contract in 2015.
Here is a complete list of 49ers whose contracts expire after this season:
WR Michael Crabtree $3,500,000
RB Frank Gore $3,300,000
G Mike Iupati $2,970,500
DT Glenn Dorsey $2,300,000
QB Blaine Gabbert $2,011,587
CB Chris Culliver $1,431,000
DE Demarcus Dobbs $1,431,000
LB Dan Skuta $1,300,000
S C.J. Spillman $1,225,000
OL Adam Snyder $1,000,000
QB Colin Kaepernick $973,766
WR Brandon Lloyd $955,000
WR Kassim Osgood $955,000
S Bubba Ventrone $855,000
CB Chris Cook $730,000
WR David Reed $730,000
WR Jonathan Baldwin $645,000
CB Perrish Cox $645,000
DL Will Tukuafu $645,000
S D.J. Campbell $570,000
TE Garrett Celek $570,000
LB Michael Wilhoite $570,000
DE Tony Jerod-Eddie $495,000
*Linebacker Aldon Smith's 2015 option was exercised last Friday, paying him $9,754,000 if he's on the roster next March 11.

PITTSBURG -- New York has its falling ball on New Year's Eve. And Pittsburg has its falling anchor, which will once again makes its yearly appearance during New Year's Eve festivities at City Park.
This is the fourth year for the New Year's event organized by Johnny Maes, a former Oakley resident who is also the impetus behind the California Millennium Monument, a sculpture chiseled out of black granite and located in the park. Dedicated in 2001, the Millennium Monument hopes to collect time capsules from Contra Costa County's 19 cities to be placed in a vault in 2025 at the site.
Festivities at the New Year's event will include an air cannon shooting stuffed animals and candy onto the lawn every hour for children to chase and bring back. The air cannon will also shoot out glow necklaces and bracelets when midnight strikes.
"We shoot the cannon off every hour for the other countries and other cities (ringing in New Year's)," he said.
The event has the go-ahead from the city. Maes obtained a special permit for the event, said Don Buchanan, Pittsburg's director of recreation and maintenance services.
The anchor, of course, is meant to tie (pun intended) into the city's commercial fishing history.
"It's the city emblem. It's more fitting than a ball dropping," Maes said. "It's lowered by a rope and it drops."
But the anchor is not a real anchor. Instead, it is six-foot-tall painted plywood replica outlined with lights that will be dropped from a 30-foot-high platform during a 10-second countdown to midnight.
People will also be able to play a game dubbed "Angry Chickens" provided they make some kind of financial donation to support efforts of cities outside of Contra Costa County to place time capsules at the monument site. The game involves shooting rubber chickens out of the air cannon and aiming for cardboard boxes illustrated with farm animals. The highest score wins bragging rights and a trophy.
"We're calling it Angry Chickens. We don't want to get in trouble," said Maes in making a tongue-in-cheek reference to the Angry Birds app.
New York's iconic falling ball attracts huge crowds, of course. The falling anchor event in Pittsburg is not even close. Last year, fewer than two dozen people showed up for the event, but Maes is hoping for a bigger turnout this year. He's also hoping it will generate more interest in the Millennium Monument.
Right now, Pittsburg, through an effort involving students at Pittsburg High School, is the only Contra Costa City that has started putting a time capsule together. "They've got some cell phones, they've got pictures of students and some kind of flier," said Maes, adding that more work needs to be done before the time capsule is complete.
"We're hoping that (time capsules) for all the 19 cities in Contra Costa County are all filled and ready to put into the vault in 2025," he said.

Kevin Efrusy is no slouch. At 35, he has already founded a company that went public and was later acquired (Corio), served as chief executive of another (IronPlanet, which auctions used equipment online), and worked at two of the valley's most venerable firms: first as an entrepreneur-in-residence at Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers and, since 2003, as a venture capitalist at Accel Partners.
Then there's the deal that may top all that: Facebook, the hugely popular social networking company. Efrusy spent three months chasing down Facebook co-founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg to get his first meeting, and endured "many more twists and turns from there" before he was able to convince Zuckerberg that Accel was the right match for the start-up. It was time well spent; Facebook may earn Accel hundreds of millions of dollars if it goes public or, as many expect, it's sold to a deep-pocketed buyer.
Few VCs could make comparable claims at such a young age, or be as clear as Efrusy about the entrepreneurs he wants to work with - people who sound a lot like Zuckerberg. "When I meet with someone, I ask myself: Are they stubborn? They should be. I'm not interested in someone who responds to the conventional wisdom of boards, or to MBAs like me. I'm interested in the person with a gut conviction of what their product is about and who sticks to it."
With just four years of venture investing under his belt, Efrusy, a doctor's son who was forever playing on his computer as a child, knows he has a lot left to prove.
"I've worked with a lot of different VCs," said serial entrepreneur Eyal Hertzog, who is co-founder of the video site Metacafe in Israel, which both Accel and Benchmark have backed. "Kevin is my first experience with an investor who understands the market and also my dilemmas as CEO. Working with him is the first time I'm getting real value-add from a VC."

The Cardinal seemed to know what was coming every play, a feat unto itself against the Quack Attack.
It was disciplined with assignments and sure-handed with its tackling -- two fundamental aspects of the game that are so difficult to execute against the Ducks.
(That's partly because Stanford was so good on second down: Timer and time again, it stuffed Kenjon Barner on second-and-six/seven/eight.)
It was a terrific hustle play by Carrington, who pushed Mariota out of bounds on the 15. (Stanford DBs of years gone by wouldn't have been able to chase him down.)
But let's be honest: All Thomas had to do as put a body -- heck, put half a body -- on Carrington, and Mariota would have scored.
It ended up costing the Ducks a touchdown that they could have used.
More than anything, Ertz's presence (and sure hands) provided a comfort zone for freshman quarterback Kevin Hogan. Without Ertz, Hogan -- and Stanford -- would have been lost offensively.
The Bruins have one of the most potent offenses in the conference.
It's a variant of Oregon's spread option, with more downfield passing and a different style of runner: Johnathan Franklin is more power -- and has a lower center of gravity -- than Oregon's Barner.
Stanford is usually even keeled -- it's a savvy, mature group -- but the victory in Eugene was different (i.e., bigger, more emotional) than any it has recorded the past three seasons.

Lamborghini Unveils Egoista Single-Seat Sports Car
Italian sports-car maker Automobili Lamborghini SpA unveiled a new vehicle called the Egoista, which is meant to mark its 50th anniversary.
The car, which seats one and has the look of a space ship (or a 17-year cicada), is powered by a 5.2-liter V-10 engine that puts out 600 horsepower. The company described its interior as a "cockpit, designed like a tailor-made suit for the driver."
The driver's compartment is built separately from the rest of the car to act as a "survival cell," inspired by the design of the Apache attack helicopter, the company said.
"I am very attached to this Italian brand, being an Italian myself. I wanted to pay homage to and think up a vehicle to underline the fact that Lamborghinis have always been made with passion, and with the heart more than the head," said Walter De Silva, design boss for Volkswagen Group.
Lamborghini indicated that unlike the special anniversary edition of its Aventador super sports car that rolled out last month, the Egoista will not go into regular series production.
The company said Lamborghinis may be cars for the few, but the Egoista is "a car for itself" that will "always remain a dream, for everyone."

A new Lowe's will open in Columbia County in early 2007, but the new traffic trouble starts even sooner.
It's happening along Washington Road at the already busy intersection with Belair Road.
And Lowe's is just the beginning of the development.
The county has already started the work on Washington Road. The entire area will be under construction soon to keep up with the Lowe's traffic, and that means more delays for your commute.
We asked driver Ladiese Satchel if there was too much traffic in the area already. "Yes!" she told us. She and her family already have a long commute.
Traffic engineer Ronnie Hutto is trying his best to keep up with it all.
"There's going to be a delay due to paving," he says, "and we ask them to be cautious when they travel."
Hutto says they plan to expand part of Industrial to six lanes, add multiple turn lanes in and out of the parking lot, and move Old Evans Road to a new intersection with a new light. He says the end product will keep Lowe's traffic from clogging this intersection even more.
"About 100 cars go through this intersection at every light cycle...so as it is now, 3600 cars come through here every day."
That number will be a lot higher once the Lowe's is finished.
"A lot more congested!" says driver Robert Young.
"I think people will get used to the flow and it won't be a problem," driver Dennis Estep says.
Columbia County also met with Home Depot representatives who may want to build on the old Evans Middle School land right across the street from Lowe's.
Ladiese Satchel welcomes the progress.
"As far as traffic goes...no!" she says. "But as far as another Lowes...yes!"
The county tells us Home Depot has looked at that property, but there has not been any paperwork for it at this time. As for the road construction, traffic engineers say most of it should be done in the fall, but they still need funding to expand Industrial Park Drive to six lanes.

About Us > Newsroom > New Target Identified for Food Allergy Therapy
DENVER - Researchers at National Jewish Health have identified an enzyme that is essential to the allergic reaction to peanuts. Blocking the enzyme's activity in sensitized mice prevented diarrhea and inflammation, and reduced levels of several proteins associated with allergies. The findings, published online in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, identify the enzyme, known as Cyp11a1, as a potential target for treatment of increasingly common and potentially deadly food allergy.
"Right now, we have no therapy for food allergy other than to avoid the allergenic food," said senior author, Erwin Gelfand, MD, chair of Pediatrics at National Jewish Health. "In Cyp11a1, we have found an essential enzyme and signaling pathway in the intestinal allergic reaction, which are potential targets for intervention."
Food allergy has become more common in recent decades, now affecting about 8 percent of the American population. Among children, peanuts are the most common food allergy and can provoke severe, even life threatening, allergic reactions. Antihistamines and epinephrine are used in response to allergic reactions, but there is no approved therapy for the prevention of allergic reactions to food.
Cyp11a1 promotes the first and rate-limiting step in the production of corticosteroids. These steroids have long been used to treat allergic diseases because they inhibit inflammation associated with the allergic reaction. Evidence in recent years, however, has indicated that corticosteroids may also activate immune cells associated with allergic reactions.
The researchers sensitized mice to peanuts so that they became allergic to the legume. When subsequently fed peanut protein, the mice experienced diarrhea and inflammation in the small intestine. Levels of Cyp11a1 increased, as did cytokine signaling molecules IL13 and IL17A, which are associated with allergic reactions.
When the researchers used aminoglutethimide (AMG) to inhibit the enzymatic activity of Cyp11a1 in the sensitized mice, it prevented allergic diarrhea and inflammation, and reduced levels of IL13 and IL17A. It also reduced the conversion of naïve T cells into allergic Th2 and Th17 subtypes.
"While we evaluated Cyp11a1 blockade in peanut allergy, it could likely have an effect in the full range of food allergies," said Dr. Gelfand.

The powder-coated aluminum towing arch and Bimini is one of many standards on the Everglades 230 DC. Note the retro windshield frame with thick side mullions but no header across the front.
The Mission of the Everglades 230 DC
The 230 DC is somewhat of a departure for Everglades, a builder that has concentrated heavily on fishing machines in center consoles and express types. With the 230 the builder is acknowledging the trend that has been building the last number of years to family boats that can be used for both fishing and towing sports.
However, even before function, Everglades' mission with this boat as with all of its models is to produce the absolute best boat in class from the standpoints of quality, amenities, features, functionality, innovation and safety. That's a tall order, it takes imagination, experience and money -- but we think Everglades has done it in the 230 DC.
Captain Steve makes a video walkthrough of the 230 DC and discovers that the aft jump seats are a bit high and there is no outboard grab rail. Note the seat back at left is in the closed position to serve as a casting platform.
Taking a look at this publicity photo, note how high the kids are sitting on the jump seats. At the same time the passenger up front is safely ensconced in her bow seat.
Distinguishing Features
Level Flotation. The USCG requires that all motorboats 20' (6.09 m) or smaller and powered by a 2-hp engines or larger, float level if swamped. That means that the outboard engine cannot weigh down the boat. Everglades has designed all of its boats -- which go up to 35' (10.66 m) -- to float level if swamped. (See video of Everglades President Steve Dougherty explaining level flotation…)
Large Scuppers. Everglades knows that if water comes aboard it must be gotten out quickly to keep the boat from swamping. As a result, its scuppers' capacity far exceeds ABYC Standards. (See video of Steve Dougherty discussing scuppers size…)
Fishboxes Not Placed Outboard. Because the Doughertys have made a career of studying level flotation they have some strong ideas about where fish boxes should and should not be placed for the integrity of the vessel. They will not put them in the cockpit sole, port and starboard, or near the transom. (See short video on this subject… http://www.boattest.com/boats/boat_video.aspx?SubID=1219&ID=2702
Towing Arch is Standard. The 230 DC has a powder-coated arch with ski pylon, rod holders, blue/white courtesy lights, spreader lights and a custom sun top.
When sitting on the large helm seat bolster, Captain Steve likes the wide header frame on the side window because it is a comfortable place to rest his right arm. Note at left there is no windscreen header.
One of the innovations on the 230 DC is the elimination of a windshield header forward. We think this is a terrific idea because it means no matter how tall the captain, there will be no window frame header blocking his forward vision. Captain Steve checks out the smooth, rounded tempered glass edge with his left hand.
No Windshield Frame Header. One of the most annoying things in boats this size and style is to have a windshield frame which is right in the line of sight of the operator. Since boaters come in different heights one height does not fit all unless it is very high. Everglades has solved the problem by eliminating the windshield header frame.
Bow Seat Cushions Bolted On. For those boaters who have had bow cushions fly off or overboard this innovation will be welcome. Everglades uses wing nuts on the under side of the forward lockers to anchor the cushions and make it easy to unbolt them.
Another good idea aboard the 230 DC is the bait prep counter abaft the helm seat. Note the cutting board is over the sink, yet water from the sprayer will flow into the sink. There is a thoughtful hand-hold in the counter providing a standing passenger to hang on when underway.
The cutting board lifts up to reveal the sink.
By pushing down a single black plastic preventer the cutting board can be pulled out of its hinges leaving the sink completely open.
Dougherty Family-Owned Business. The patriarch of the family is Bob Dougherty who started out as an engineer for Boston Whaler in its early days and has been building boats ever since. They all had at least two things in common: 1) they all were unsinkable; and, 2) high quality. Son Stephen Dougherty, also an engineer, now runs the company. (See short interview of president Steve Dougherty explaining family history in boat building…)
This is a core sample from the 230 DC's bow. Note that the closed-cell PVC foam has been layered in two sheets separated by a thin piece of fiberglass. This composite sandwich construction provides great strength.
Everglades does not blow foam into its hulls for flotation. Rather, it uses pre-molded blocks of foam that are laminated in place all over the boat. In this way Everglades can carefully calculate the buoyancy of the boat to make sure that it will float level when swamped.
Construction is Top-Notch. Everglades uses a patented construction process that it calls RAMCAP. The boat is filled with block foam that is molded to fit the voids left for it. In this way Everglades know precisely the amount of floatation in every part of the boat. The all-composite construction uses the finest materials available to the marine industry. Everglades uses 6 lb. density foam, not 2 lb. flotation foam.
Fit-and-Finish. Everglades takes a back seat to no builder in class when it comes to its hardware and finishing work.
Exquisite Design and Execution. Virtually everything on the 230 DC has been carefully designed not only for functionality, but also for utility beyond the normal treatment. It seems as if Everglades' engineers approach every detail of the boat and ask themselves how they make the object better than anything that has come before.
Everglades is the only builder that we know of that uses a gas strut to cushion both the opening and closing of the walkthrough windshield, thereby preventing slamming and possible damage. Rubber gaskets keep the window from rattling when underway.
In a business where innovation is the life blood of sales, in our opinion, no company in class does a better job of introducing new innovations than Everglades. Like all builders, it keeps close tabs on what the competition is doing, but it consistently comes up with new features, amenities and functionality with virtually every new boat. A great help in that regard is Everglades willingness to let the cost chips (and price) fall where they may if the innovation seems worthwhile. (See Steve Dougherty explain his company's innovation process…)
These wingnuts hold down the cushions on the forward seats and keep them from blowing away. This is only time we have seen this simple device used in class.
Major Standard Features
• Towing arch with Bimini and pylon
• Head Compartment.
• Cockpit coaming bolsters
• Circulating livewell. The 27 gal. (102.6 L) livewell has a light.
• Prep sink. The sink has a sprayer tapped into raw water.
• High water alarm
• Raw water washdown
• 38 gallon fishbox
Captain Steve and an Everglades salesman sit in the front of the 230 DC to demonstrate how much room there is forward. Note their feet in the footwell.
Captain Steve demonstrates the headroom in the port console compartment. The boat comes standard with a Porta-Potti.
The standard powder-coated aluminum arch has a towing pylon for wakeboarding or skiing. A Bimini top comes with the rig.
We have not tested the boat so we can make no comments about her performance and handling. The boat is equipped as well or better than any in class as standard, however we are surprised to see that hydraulic steering is an option.
Suggestion. We would make the two jump seats at the transom an inch or so lower so people can sit back and have their feet firmly planted on the deck, particularly children. (The casting lid can stay at the same height.) We'd also put a hand-hold rail outboard of these two seats as well as inboard.
Love Affair. Other than that, we have few criticisms of the 230 DC. In fact, Captain Steve said that he "loved" her when we spoke to him just after he made a video walkthrough.
The Everglades 230 DC is a family "do-anything" day boat for people who like details done right and who take pride in having one of the finest boats in class. Needless to say, the Everglades 230 DC does not come cheap. But for those who want a high-quality boat and a prestigious brand name, Everglades should be on their short list.
This is precisely how the 230 is intended to be used -- for day cruising, exploring and watersports in addition to fishing.

Best Practices for Nonprofits ToolkitBy: Beth Irvin, Intern, Kentucky Commission on WomenMPA, University of LouisvilleSpring 2010
PrefaceWhile working on my Masters of Public Administration at the University of Louisville I was exposed to a lot of great material on what makes nonprofits effective in the field today. My professors assigned comprehensive readings that exposed me to a plethora of ideas, strategies and case studies relevant to nonprofit best practices.
During my coursework I was assigned projects that tested my ability to apply those concepts, which really ingrained the material for me. I wanted to compile a project that would both allow me to synthesize what I had learned through the program as well as explore further some of the areas that interested me personally.
This Toolkit is designed to share not only the academic concepts I learned, but also the expertise of great nonprofit professionals to others in the community. I performed targeted interviews on specific subjects relevant to modern nonprofit management with local and state level nonprofit leaders. It was amazing the amount of insight people were willing to offer me in a thirty-minute interview. Each interview is really a gold mine of advice and know-how.
I really appreciate the participation on behalf of all of the interviewees. Also, I would like to thank Dr. Andy Patterson for serving as my instructor on this project and helping guide me through the process.
Enjoy!Beth Irvin

VAIL, Colorado - Since 1972, West Vail Liquor Mart has been one of the town's main sources of adult beverages. That's a lot of Bud - and wine, and, well, you get the idea - under the bridge.
Since 1988, Tom Mullen has been part of the crew at West Vail. He, along with his wife, Laurie, have owned the place outright since 2004.
A Midwesterner by birth, Mullen was in working in Denver for a liquor wholesaler before coming to Vail. A co-worker told him there might be an opportunity in the high country, so Mullen talked to store founders Charlie Crowley and Howard Gardner and moved to the mountains.
Another opportunity opened up a few years later, but Mullen stayed after talking to the owners, and learning there might be an opportunity to buy into the business. It was a great opportunity for Mullen, and a chance for the store's founders to ease out of the business.
"Howard and Charlie were really prescient about having a plan," Mullen said.
As Mullen bought into the business, the operation was, ultimately, a family affair, although Laurie only started working at the store about five years ago, coming from a career in the sales and marketing side of the lodging business.
"Tom and I saw an opportunity to both work in the business we owned," Laurie said. "It was a chance to focus all our energy here."
Couples who work together often clash, but the Mullens said they're generally able to keep work at work. Having separate offices helps. It also helps that Tom handles more of the financial side of the business, while Laurie focuses on human resources and marketing. Laurie also serves on the Vail Local Marketing District Board.
There's a common perception that liquor stores are one of the few recession-proof businesses. That's not exactly true, especially as a store's customer base changes over the years.
That's been the case for the Mullens.
"The population center of the valley has changed over the years," Mullen said. "That's created opportunities for small businesses to the west, but where our revenue comes from has changed."
There have always been resort customers, but as Vail's decade-long construction boom faded, the people who built those new buildings have stopped coming in.
"There have always been peaks and valleys in the business, but the peaks are higher and the valleys are lower now."
Keeping the store's revenue stream flowing also requires understanding what people want.
Over the years, what's on the store's shelves has evolved along with popular tastes. A lot more cooler space is devoted to "craft" beers these days, brands and varieties that no one had even imagined in 1972.
Smaller companies are starting to spread across the liquor world these days, even in spirits.
"It's growing, but it's still minuscule," Mullen said. "But as we've seen consolidation in the business, there's been an opportunity for smaller guys to come in."
But that proliferation of craft brewers, vintners and distillers makes it tricky to determine just what to put on the shelves and in the coolers.
That takes a combination of listening to customers and suppliers when it comes to bringing in new items. Ultimately, of course, the customer makes the final decision.
And, while the Mullens believe they've been able to keep their business profitable and relevant because of employee housing, community involvement and sponsorships, it's people who ultimately make or break a business.
"Any business relies on people," Mullen said. "It's a partnership with employees, consumers and wholesalers."

Long Island Utility Seeks to Build a 5-Megawatt Fuel Cell Power Plant
The Long Island Power Authority (LIPA) issued a request for proposals (RFP) in mid-December to construct and operate a 5-megawatt fuel cell power plant in Long Beach, New York, near the southwest shore of Long Island. The fuel cell system will have a symbiotic relationship with a natural gas distribution hub located on the site, drawing its fuel from the distribution pipeline while warming the natural gas in the pipeline with the heat generated by the fuel cell. This cogeneration approach—using both the heat and electricity generated by the fuel cell—makes the most efficient use of the natural gas fuel. Companies have until January 26th to notify LIPA of their intent to submit a proposal, while the full proposals are due on February 16th. See the LIPA press release and the RFP.

Martinez, Ga--When you talk Lakeside Panther football this year, it has the making of something special. One big key is staying healthy. It's something they didn't do last year and while a coach doesn't want to use it as a crutch, no question it effected the Panthers on both sides of the ball. It'll all start with quarterback Mark Weidenhaar.
Weidenhaar was going to be the go to guy a season ago. Just before the start, a torn A.C.L. put him on the shelf. Now he's back and maybe stronger then ever. Weidenhaar ran track in the spring and had no problems and now is getting use to contact. His athletic ability can be a difference maker. There still may be a hurdle or two to overcome.
"I told him he's got to get over the mental hurdle himself and me as a coach, I have to get over it as well." said coach Jarrett Troxler "But I don't worry about it. Now a days with the technology the way it is, kids come back stronger from injuries."
Now this isn't just a one dimensional team. Actually the strength will be on defense where nine starters return. Last year lakeside lost a bunch of close games but with the added experience, those losses could turn into wins.
"You know everyday coach reminds us of those close games and we just strive to get better each day and trying to work so we can pull those games off this year. We don't want any more of those upsets this year." said senior Jacob Lane
Once again Lakeside has one of the toughest schedules around so that's another hurdle to overcome. Troxler says if they can limit the big plays on defense, and make a few more on offense, they may be talking about this year's team for quite some time.

When nobles in Hungary became dissatisfied with their king, they prevailed upon Casimir's father, the king of Poland, to send his son to take over the country. Casimir obeyed his father, as many young men over the centuries have obeyed their government. The army he was supposed to lead was clearly outnumbered by the "enemy"; some of his troops were deserting because they were not paid. At the advice of his officers, Casimir decided to return home.
His father was irked at the failure of his plans, and confined his 15-year-old son for three months. The lad made up his mind never again to become involved in the wars of his day, and no amount of persuasion could change his mind. He returned to prayer and study, maintaining his decision to remain celibate even under pressure to marry the emperor's daughter.
He reigned briefly as king of Poland during his father's absence. He died of lung trouble at 23 while visiting Lithuania, of which he was also Grand Duke. He was buried in Vilnius, Lithuania.

After sustaining two knee injuries in eight months - an ACL tear in the same knee - Tommy Gogolen is gearing up to reach his top fitness before the international telemark World Cup circuit starts.
The Summit County resident has been named a member of the U.S. telemark team's "A" squad this year.
Last year, he competed on the "B" squad, which is a small distinction between already elite skiers.
Last year's competition wasn't easy, though. Not only was Gogolen up against top athletes worldwide, he'd just recovered from knee surgery - his first.
Two weeks after he made the U.S. team last July, he tore his ACL doing nothing more than playing soccer. A surgery and a whirlwind recovery later, he was in place in the lineup - fit to the point that he won his career-best 10th place at the World Cup.
"I was working extra hard - it was ridiculous," Gogolen said. "It's the fittest I've ever been."
At nationals, his performance hinted at his ability to compete with peers on the "A" team.
But, "I checked out after nationals," Gogolen said. "I didn't ski. I needed a break."
He took a break, and again, while playing soccer, the same ligament tore.
"It shouldn't have happened," Gogolen said, echoing what the surgeons told him. He'll never be sure of the reason, but he had to again go under the knife and is currently in the process of building back his strength for the winter season.
The first U.S. telemark camps are in December, so time is ticking down, but not as much as last year. The surgery and recovery also seem easier this time around, Gogolen said.
Still, he's expecting his biggest challenge this season to be the mind games he'll be playing with his body, building up the courage and confidence to perform his best despite fear of reinjuring the knee.
To complicate things more, a telemark course isn't a straightforward GS course. Instead, at the end of the race, skiers go head-to-head in a Nordic skate ski before entering the "wrap-a-lucia," a toilet-bowl style turn that flushes skiers out toward the finish line. The final bit of the race is meant to make the event more exciting - possibly to lure the International Olympic Committee into adding telemark skiing as a sport in the Winter Games.
"It was dangerous. It was exciting. We had a world class event under the lights. It was crazy," Gogolen said.
Gogolen's hopes for the season are high, but they're also a bit muted because he knows the Norwegians, Germans and Swedes have all grown up on Nordic skis, "like we grew up riding bikes," Gogolen said. They're full-time, paid athletes, and he's working for a living at the same time he trains.
Still, Gogolen looks forward to competing with his team, and is gunning for a top five finish in a European World Cup event to improve upon his top 10 finish last year. He'll be battling the other athletes as well as his own psyche to make that happen.
"Mentally, I have to keep pounding through this and remembering, this is a World Championship year and I want to do well," Gogolen said.
