Deep Dive: Sun GlassFish Web Space Server 10.0
By edort on Apr 30, 2009
At the 2008 JavaOne Conference, Sun made an exciting announcement regarding a collaboration agreement it reached with the Liferay open portal community. Both companies agreed to share code and release products from a common codebase. Sun GlassFish Web Space Server is an outgrowth of that common codebase, bringing together features and technologies from Liferay as well as Sun's OpenPortal communities.
In this Deep Dive video, James Falkner, Sun's Product Architect for portal technologies, demonstrates many of the features that Sun GlassFish Web Space Server offers for administrators, developers, and end users. Along the way, he demonstrates some cool features such as hooking portlet events together graphically, and changing the theme for a portal page in Adobe Dreamweaver using Web Space Server's View Designer plugin.
There's so much functionality in the Web Space Server that it was difficult to fit James's demonstrations into one short video. So instead we offer multiple videos -- or a video in multiple parts. Watch it. I think you'll see that Sun GlassaFish Web Space Server 10.0 is a fun and highly functional product.
- Part 1: Learn about the key features in Sun GlassFish Web Space Server 10.0.

Definition of infield in English:
1The inner part of the field of play in various sports, in particular:
Example sentences
- He then jogged back to the wall to retrieve the ball and lobbed it to the infield as three runs scored.
- Erin White squeezed a grounder through the right side of the infield in the eighth to score Jackie Lance and give the Canadians a 1-0 victory.
- Furcal relied on his arm too much last season and has learned he doesn't have to throw rockets across the infield on every grounder.
1.1 Cricket The part of the field closer to the wicket.
Example sentences
- If we can just do that we will snowball; the boys will get confident if we can play shots over the infield without losing our wickets, it's all to do with keeping our heads.
- Their feet got to the pitch of the ball and their fluent drives repeatedly carved through the infield on either side of the wicket.
- Then Warne lets Flintoff off the hook with one ball he can read - the full-toss, which is duly dispatched over the infield.
1.2 Baseball The area within and near the four bases: [as modifier]: Billy started us off with an infield hit
More example sentences
- And not an especially good idea on a surface where infield grounders quickly become base hits.
- But by game's end, all you've managed to do is hit four feeble infield dribblers and bounce three throws to first base.
- Instead, the team will focus on getting great defense from two of their four infield spots.
1.3The players stationed in the infield, collectively.
Example sentences
- In the letters section of the August issue of Baseball Digest, a chart was printed listing 12 teams whose infields drove in 400 or more runs in one season.
- The middle of the infield should be Bobby Hill and Javier Guzman, both players that should boast modest OBPs in the future.
- The umpire looks at me strangely, as a matter of fact, the whole infield of The Indians team was staring at me.
2The land around or near a farmstead, especially arable land: the infield is demarcated by corn ditches
More example sentences
- The agricultural economy was primarily based on raising cattle on forest land and cereal production on small cleared infields.
- With that, I flew off and landed in a muddy heap in the swampy infield, while the bike sagged directly to the ground.
- Later on, 1920-21, I deeded the 60 acres southwest of the public highway, as well as the 40 acres infields and woods on the northeast side, with the old house and barn.
Into or towards the inner part of the field of play: Halliday weaved his way infield, causing the disruption from which Morris was to score his try
More example sentences
- The home side kept up the pressure and following a Brian Kenny throw-in Padraig Murphy took possession and as he moved infield he sent a pile driver to the net in the 65th minute.

- Pauleta cuts infield and tries his luck from 30 yards.

MORGANTOWN - By the time West Virginia and Clemson flip a commemorative coin to begin the Orange Bowl, 34 days will have passed since the Mountaineers last had the game juices flowing.
That's enough time - 2,937,600 seconds - to lose focus, eligibility via poor grades, practice too much, not practice enough, sustain a silly off-the-field injury or say goodbye to a coach or two.
Not at West Virginia. Not this year anyway.
In the days leading up to the Orange Bowl, the Mountaineers coaching staff has stayed completely intact, there was just one academic casualty (freshman running back Vernard Roberts) and no one cut themselves after throwing a controller through a TV because their likeness lost a fumble on NCAA Football for X-box.
No, it's been a workmanlike approach, according to quarterback Geno Smith.
''It's been like camp,'' Smith said. ''In actuality, we're going to get a lot better because we have time to focus on just football and everyone's going to have a chance to get better at their craft. We're getting good work in. We're also working in the weight room. Our bodies are going to rest up and you're going to see a very explosive team come Jan. 4.''
Fact Box
WVU vs. Clemson
When: Wednesday, 8 p.m. Television: ESPN Place: Sun Life Stadium
Spread: Clemson is a 3.5-point favorite
Series History: Clemson leads, 1-0.
TV/Radio: (Mike Tirico - play-by-play, Jon Gruden and Ron Jaworski - analysts, Lisa Salters - sideline). Radio: Mountaineer Sports Network - (Tony Caridi - play-by-play, Dwight Wallace - analyst, Hoppy Kercheval - host, Jed Drenning - sideline). Twitter Updates - Twitter.com/WVUSportsScores; Twitter.com/WVUSportsBuzz.
Even without Dustin Garrison, who has been WVU's most consistent running back. Garrison tore his ACL?and MCL in practice and is going to miss the Orange Bowl, leaving WVU minus a weapon.
There is no tried and true method for preparing for a bowl game. Just ask former Mountaineers coach Don Nehlen, whose teams lost eight straight bowls between the 1984 Bluebonnet Bowl and 2000 Music City Bowl.
He tried everything.
''One thing is we want to get work done here,'' current WVU head coach Dana Holgorsen said. ''You want to have a pretty good plan and have work done prior to leaving. Once you get down there, it is reward, so you want them to enjoy it. You don't want them to enjoy it so much that they are wore out though. It is a tricky balance, but we have a pretty good idea. This is my 13th in a row, so we have had some success and had some positives as well as negatives.''
WVU defensive coordinator Jeff Casteel ultimately thinks these games are won and lost on the field, but he's seen how distractions in the weeks leading up have been a factor.
''I know it's tough,'' he said. ''You're not sure what's going to happen when you have a month layoff. The kids are used to working in week increments, and then they haven't really practiced in two weeks, really, off and on. So, you kinda get out of rhythm.''
There's also the ridiculous amount of time afforded to watch film of the opposition.
''We're going to have our hands full, plus they they're going to have a month to figure out what we don't do well and attack it,'' safeties coach Steve Dunlap said. ''So talking about a game of adjustments, probably your first game of the season is a big game of adjustments, as well as the bowl game, especially with the long layoff. They'll do do things we haven't seen.
''It's hard to get into the head of coaches you don't know. Your traditional guys you play every year, you get a feel for who they are and what they do. Even with the long time off, that helps us.''
So what do you look for?
''What do they like to do after they throw an incomplete passs? What do they like to do when they're backed up? How many chances will he take? Is he (in this case Clemson coach Dabo Swinney) a trick-play guy? It's an ongoing deal.''
Just as fast as you notice a tendency, the other guys are likely working on changing it, though.
''We still do the same thing we normally do,'' Casteel said. ''We'll look at a great deal of film. The difference is we'll watch a lot more with the kids than what we normally would in a week.
''But you have to be careful you don't give them too much. It still comes down to blocking and tackling. That's what's going to win the game. The basic things in football, that's what it's going to come down to.''

You've been happily sipping those IPAs, lambics and stouts. Now it's time to pour some in your favorite dishes. The locavore culinary trend and the craft beer revolution have collided -- deliciously -- in the kitchen.
The number of microbrewery-restaurants is soaring. Beer-pairing dinners, those "Beer Week" darlings, are popping up everywhere. Beer cookbooks have become a publishing niche of their own.
And Northern California is "the epicenter" of the movement, says John Holl, a New Jersey beer-and-travel writer and editor of All About Beer magazine. This is where the first wave of the craft beer movement began in the 1970s with the founding of the nation's first modern day microbreweries: Jack McAuliffe's New Albion in Sonoma and Fritz Maytag's Anchor Brewing in San Francisco.
The number of craft breweries has exploded during the second wave, reaching more than 2,500 in June.
The beer-food trend, Holl says, is the "third wave. People are focusing on good food along with good beer. It's not just burgers and nachos. It's seafood, duck."
Touring the country's microbrew pubs for his latest book, "The American Craft Beer Cookbook" (Storey, $19.95, 344 pages), Holl says he got to see just how much the beer world these days mirrors the food.
"People were drinking light lagers 40 years ago," he says. "We put a plastic tray in the microwave and whatever came out was dinner. Now it's all about farmers markets and locavore food, how it's being prepared and who's preparing it."
Whether it's San Francisco's 21st Amendment or San Leandro's Drake's Brewing, there's a new breed of beer-centric cuisine brewing. Dishes are paired with specific beers, or perhaps the beer becomes a major flavor component in the dish. Drake's Hopocalypse Ceviche, for example, gets its flavor from lime, habaneros and a hefty splash of double IPA. The Lemongrass Chicken at Santa Cruz's Uncommon Brewers is marinated in Siamese Twin Ale and fresh ginger, while the chef at 21st Amendment adds 24 ounces of Brew Free or Die IPA to the fiery chili.
All this can be done at home, with the 150+ recipes Holl collected from craft breweries from coast to coast, or by following the path laid out by Los Angeles' Beeroness. That would be Jackie Dodd, a beer and food writer whose blog -- and new "Craft Beer Cookbook" (Adams Media, $19.99, 224 pages) -- explores the culinary angle, from breakfast to dessert.
"I've always loved the idea of cooking with beer," Dodd says. But, he adds, there are tricks and twists when you cook with a carbonated, hoppy beverage -- and it's not just a flavor thing.
"You're adding a yeast-based beverage with bubbles to your baked goods. Adding stout to chocolate cake gives it this really awesome texture -- a transformative texture."
Beer in a slow-braised anything? Consider the hops. All that low, slow cooking reduces the liquid and intensifies the flavor. In the case of hops, that's a bitter flavor.
"If something is going to cook a long time, go with a lower hops beer," Dodd says, so complex flavors aren't overpowered.
There are many delicious ways to incorporate those flavors, from Orange Wheat Beer and Dark Chocolate Muffins to Porter-Braised Pulled-Pork Sandwiches, which taste even better the next day. But if you're new to the game, Dodd suggests starting with her Brown Ale-Brined Turkey.
"I make it every year for Thanksgiving," she says. "The alcohol in the beer has a tenderizing effect on the meat. And if you're going to brine, it adds a whole new dimension."
And don't be timid.
"I'm of the mindset, if you're going to cook with beer, cook with a lot of beer," Holl says. "Two tablespoons of lager isn't going to do anything. A carbonade? Use the entire six-pack. You want those flavors to pop up and show."

The�Foo Fighters' forthcoming eighth album, which is set to drop this fall,�will be accompanied by an HBO docu-series that chronicles its production.
Add new fall shows to your Watchlist!
The band's founder�Dave Grohl�directed the project, which follows the band jetting between Chicago, Austin, Nashville, Los Angeles, Seattle, New Orleans, Washington D.C. and New York. The Foo Fighters recorded one song in each of the eight cities, recruiting local legends to sit in on every track. In an experimental writing practice, Grohl held off on writing the words to each song until the last day of each recording session in order to be more inspired by the experiences, interviews and personalities that became part of the process.
Check out the new fall shows
"Dave's heartfelt passion for this project is contagious, and his talent as a musician and filmmaker is undeniable," says HBO programming president Michael Lombardo. "We are excited to go on this journey with him and�Foo�Fighters�for this insider's look at how regional music inspired them to create their own new music."

You vehicle's Cabin Air Filter is designed to keep the air inside your car as clean as possible by filtering out dust and pollen. They are a fairly new part on vehicles, not appearing on North American automobiles until around 1995. If your vehicle was manufactured after 2000, chances are that it has one. As air circulates into the passenger compartment of a car through the air conditioning vent, it passes through the cabin air filter. This is why you may also hear it referred to as an air conditioning vent filter. The filters are often made of electrostatic fibers that attract dirt particles and other debris. If your cabin air filter becomes clogged, you'll notice that your air conditioning and heating systems will not work effectively. If the clog is bad enough, the air will not be able to pass through your car's air circulation system at all.
A cabin air filter will remain in good condition for about a year, or between twelve to fifteen thousand miles. You may have to replace it a bit earlier or later, depending on the air quality you tend to encounter. Replacing the filter is very easy to do. All you have to do is find out where your filter is, take out the old one and install the new one. In general, it will be located outside the air intake, under the hood or underneath the car's dashboard. Prime Choice Auto Parts has a great selection of high-quality cabin air filters, all at the lowest possible price! Purchase your cabin air filter replacement from Prime Choice Auto Parts and save your money.
Shopping for a cabin air filter replacement? You don't have to give up quality or customer service! Prime Choice Auto Parts is your online cabin air filter factory outlet store offering the best in customer service, quality, and price. Check out what our customers are saying about us.

Uncovering America's Heritage... Coin by Coin
Guam Quarter
In picking out my coin this month, I thought Guam might be an interesting place to write about. Well, it turns out that it sure enough is! Guam has lots going for it.
And, as you can see by Guams' quarter, Guam has proas and lattes. Lattes are stone pillars that used to support wooden buildings. A latte looks like a goblet or a mushroom with its cap turned upside down. The latte has become a national symbol for Guam.
The proa is a sort of canoe with a sail. European explorers were impressed with how easily these boats could be steered and how fast they could travel.
And now, besides everything else that Guam has, Guam has its own quarter design!

HERCULES -- State audits released Wednesday question tens of millions of dollars of expenditures by Hercules' former Redevelopment Agency and slam the city for a lack of internal and accounting controls.
A cover letter from state Controller John Chiang's office singles out, albeit not by name, former Hercules City Manager and Redevelopment Agency Executive Director Nelson Oliva for "serious mismanagement practices" and conflict of interest while blasting the then-City Council for standing by idly.
"Weak oversight and poor management practices invited self-dealing, nepotism, and other public trust abuses that crippled Hercules' fiscal health," Chiang said in a news release.
Oliva, who moved out of Hercules last year, did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment.
The audits cover the period from July 2005 through June 2010. Since that time, voters have replaced the entire City Council, which has hired a new city manager and new city attorney; a new finance director also is on board.
The audits, one looking at the Hercules Redevelopment Agency, the other one scrutinizing the city's internal controls, include responses by the city to each finding. Chiang's office identified nearly $50 million in questionable redevelopment expenditures during the audit period.
Oliva's tenure as city manager ran from April 2007 to January 2011; earlier, he had served as the city's affordable housing consultant and, briefly, as assistant city manager.
In the Oliva years, what once were multimillion dollar surpluses turned into multimillion dollar budget deficits, Chiang found.
The consequences of the state's findings of "unallowable" expenditures by the Hercules Redevelopment Agency were not immediately clear Wednesday. Jacob Roper, a spokesman for Chiang, said in an email that the state cannot order the money to be repaid. "It's the city's issue to resolve," he said.
Hercules City Manager Steve Duran, in an email Wednesday, said: "When the state killed redevelopment agencies, the Hercules Redevelopment Agency died with a negative fund balance of over $8 million, which it owes to the city."
The state abolished redevelopment agencies effective Feb. 1.
Chiang's auditors noted that Oliva steered more than $3 million in city contracts to an Oliva family company, NEO Consulting Inc./Affordable Housing Solutions Group, and awarded loans that appear to be gifts of public funds. Contracts routinely were awarded without a competitive bid process, the auditors found.
"There is no indication that prior City Council members ... ever raised any concerns about the RDA Executive Director's actions," reads a cover letter on the redevelopment audit.
"In essence, the City Council approved all requests submitted by the former City manager without question," reads the other cover letter, on the internal controls audit.
The city has sued Oliva in an attempt to recover some of the money, the state noted. The suit is pending.
"This (audit) boils down to why we have a brand new City Council, a new city manager, a new city attorney and a professional finance director," Mayor Dan Romero said Wednesday.
The longest-tenured of the current council members, John Delgado and Myrna de Vera, were elected over two incumbents in November 2010, mere weeks after an interim city manager, Charlie Long, sounded the alarm over the city's deteriorating finances. The other three council members, Gerard Boulanger, William Wilkins and Romero, were elected in June 2011, replacing two council members who were recalled and one who resigned.
Chiang's auditors also cite $32.8 million in questionable property transfers and purchases that lacked documentation such as appraisals; misuse of city-issued credit cards to pay for excessive travel, lodging and meals -- one example was two hotel rooms billed by a city official for the same night in two different cities during a one-day trip; and $1.4 million of "questionable" spending of housing funds on administration.
Findings of favoritism include a 40-year, 4 percent-a-year, $456,640 mortgage issued by the agency's Homeownership Retention and Loss Mitigation Program to Oliva's secretary.
Councilman William Wilkins, in an email Wednesday, said:
"It's time for the FBI and the state attorney general to get off the dime and file charges against the parties involved."
Boulanger, Delgado and de Vera did not immediately respond to emails seeking comment.

The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi Men's Tennis team will close out its regular season on Saturday when they host Texas – Pan American in a 1 p.m. match at the Thomas J. Henry Tennis Center.
It will be Senior Day for Andrew Maingot and Gergo Weidinger, while also giving the Islanders a chance at an outright Southland Conference Championship. The Islanders have already clinched at least a share of the title with the win on Thursday against Lamar.
Maingot, who teamed with former Islander Alex Pavlov last season for All-Southland honors, is a senior from Corpus Christi who has helped the Islanders win the Southland Conference Championship each year he has been on the team. He has won three singles matches in his Islanders career, but he has made his mark in doubles, earning 15 wins in his four seasons on his way to All-Southland honors a year ago.
Weidinger is in his third season on The Island after sitting out his first year with the program. Over those three years, he has amassed 26 wins in singles and 23 in doubles. In addition to his play on the court, Weidinger was also named Southland All-Academic last year after garnering a 3.84 GPA in finance. He is currently 12-6 on the year in singles, including a 3-1 mark in Southland matches, while going 4-1 overall, 2-0 in Southland matches, since teaming up with Peter Nagy at No. 1 doubles.
In addition to the recognition of seniors, Saturday will also mark an opportunity for the Islanders to win the Southland Conference Championship outright. They currently sit 4-0 in league matches, and a win over Texas – Pan American at the Thomas J. Henry Tennis Center would give them a perfect season in league play.
The match will be sponsored by the family of Nathan Robinson.
Robinson is a former Islander who won the Southland Conference's F.L. McDonald Postgraduate Scholarship for the student-athlete with the highest GPA in the entire conference. He was also the scholar-athlete of the year from the Islanders and won the scholarship awarded to the top economics student at Texas A&M - Corpus Christi.
The team has already wrapped up the No. 1 seed in the tournament, and will face Lamar in the first round next Friday at the Thompson Family Tennis Center on the Lamar campus in Beaumont.
Both the men and women's teams are currently ranked in the Top 10 of all NCAA Division I schools in attendance, a great testament to the Corpus Christi tennis community and the support they have given the program throughout the season.

|Check-in before
Great location within 5-10 minutes walk to east croydon.Good walking distance to the shopping centre in Croydon. Apartment better then expected. Fully equipped, good heating. Had some problems connecting to the WiFi and to get hot water in the kitchen and sink I the bathroom, other then that,fully satisfied.
A great apartment well equipped good value for money, with a great view over the marina. This is the fifth time we have been to dives/ cabourg and would definitely stay here again.
The cottage is placed in a scenic surrounding. Even though there are many of them, you hardly recognize the summer houses with their grass roofs in the dunes. The architecture and interior design are nice and appropriate. - We had good luck because our stay was not during the main season, therefore it was quiet all around this week, and we just met two neighbours. The beach is not far away, and it is endless in both directions. - In some details, the cottage and its equipment should be renovated. Mainly the outworn mattresses caused inconvenience, and after our return a slightly bad smell in our clothes and luggage. Furthermore, the kitchen equipment was neither clean nor cutlery complete, therefore we started our holiday with dishwashing and sorting out the stuff we did not want to use for these days. - Nevertheless, it was a great stay, and we enjoyed being there.
Very good situation near the lakes and quite good reception
Wonderful apartment, easy to check in and check out. Great views. Wanted to stay longer but had other bookings. Easy to park. Groceries pretty expensive though and beware of strict refuse disposal that requires special plastic bag (can be bought at landlord office) but not an issue as the whole experience was simply great.
Apartment was nice, very clean, spacious, quiet even though located on a big street and generally up to standard. Overground and Bus Stops very close, Underground stop can be reached by bus or walking easily. Few small issues (key for one of the windows missing, toilet seat broken, plastic bit of toilet flush falling down, bathroom pipe slightly leaking) but overall this apartment can definitely be recommended. HOWEVER, be aware that the key has to be picked up somewhere else (close to Camden Road Overground Station - so not far from the apartment) and you can't get the keys for the apartment at the apartment itself.
The apartment isn't bad, but it's impossible to stay in 6 persons, max 5.
The clear isn' good. So it's very strategic position in the town.
the apartment is really well placed, right in the centre of Prague; you need just a minute to reach the old town square by walk, passing through one of the most turistic street of the city.
The guys at the reception did a good job, letting us enter our rooms some hours before the check-in time.
The apartment was really nice and well furnished, with everything necessary (i think more than necessary!!) for the trip: tiny but complete kitchen, living room with big tv, internet connection and so on...
We just had some troubles to sleep at night dued to some drunk hooligans lodged in our building that passed whole nights ringing every door bell in the palace, shouting, slamming doors and elevator cabin, from 4 to 6 a.m.; unfortunately non-smart people is everywhere...but this has nothing to do with the accomodation that has been really comfortable.
Nice little house with everything you need. There's a sandbeach nearby, you can walk to it in 5 minutes. With the cab or bus it's easy to go to the city of Zadar. The host was very sweet and willing to arrange anything. We had a good time!
I chose the appartment because of low price and good location. I payed the amount of 160€ for 3 nights which was on the receipt I got from windu. After that I realized that the flat was sold by a company called interhome which sent me a second receipt for a cleaning few of 58€. So the inital low price increased by 35%.
I could have seen this clicking on an extra button in the description in advance. Very poor strategy to make money, sorry guys....
The flat itself was very good, clean and recomendable.

PARKERSBURG -Members of the Parkersburg City Council's Finance Committee will meet tonight to continue discussion on the reduction of the city's debt service.
The committee previously met to discuss options, but postponed action until more information, such as the payoff amounts of some of the newer equipment and lease-purchase agreements, could be obtained.
Mayor Bob Newell has asked council to consider a reduction in debt after municipal league officials said member cities could expect a reduction in state severance money and grants. The mayor said paying off some of the lease-purchase could free up $8,000-$10,000 in revenue.
Newell said the city has computer software (finance department), the city building's HVAC system, the Memorial Bridge toll-taking system and other things that could be paid off or refinanced. City officials are also considering paying off a street sweeper.
One loan package, which includes the Memorial Bridge's toll collection system, the City Building's HVAC system, work on the City Park pool and construction of a new maintenance building at the City Park, was refinanced from 4.07 percent to 1.74 percent.
Under the previous loan terms the agreement would cost the city more than $700,000 over its life, Finance Director Angie Smith said.
Today's regular meeting also signals the beginning of the end for a number of council members. Brad Kimes, John Sandy, Sharyn Tallman and Tom Joyce will finish out their terms at the end of the year. Kimes, Tallman and Joyce opted not to seek re-election to council. Tallman sought higher office, making a failed bid at mayor.
Sandy was the only incumbent seeking re-election who was defeated. The District 4 council member was upended by Kim Coram.
Sandy, who is also battling throat cancer, was the only council member seeking re-election who voted against the city's user fee. Nancy Wilcox, Sharon Lynch, John Rockhold and Jim Reed, all of who approved the fee, were re-elected following last week's general election results.
District 6 council member Mike Reynolds, who voted against the fee, was unopposed in both the primary and general election.
Council will also consider the final reading of lease/purchase of six vehicles for the police department.

I am looking into building a gun box for my 14 foot flat bottom aluminum jon boat. I have built a standing floor out of 2x2's and I am looking to build the box on top of this floor and against the wall of the boat(at about a 45 degree angle) to help protect the guns, and also to hold some shells and stuff like that. I have an idea on what to do, just curious if anyone has already done something similar in their boat.

I've saw a boat somewhere on the internet that turned a bench seat in a boat into gun storage. It was a pretty wide boat so I don't know if you boat is wide enough. It's a great way to add storage without taking up any room in the boat.

My boat is not wide enough to do that. I was thinking about building a box on the right side of the boat, in between the two benches. Maybe making it out of plywood, and putting a truck bed liner on it for waterproofing.

That will work. Plywood won't last forever but you should be able to get a few good years out of it before it will need replaced. Get a quart of flat oil paint and smother the plywood with it to prevent some water being absorbed by the plywood. Oil paint will run if down the side so put multiple thin coats on it. After that just hit it will a rattle can or two of your choice of colors to camo it.
Also may have a couple drain holes in the bottom of the storage box incase water gets in there.

Good idea on holes in the bottom, I hadn't thought about that, may also help with rain. I may make the top piece be a little bigger than the box to try and help with water prevention

Hysterectomy: Out With the Ovaries or Not
July 18, 2008 -- There is not enough evidence to justify the routine removal of the ovaries during hysterectomy -- a common practice that may convey as many risks as benefits for premenopausal women, a new analysis suggests.
About half of the 600,000 hysterectomies performed in the U.S. each year include surgical removal of the ovaries along with the uterus. The most common reason cited for ovary removal is to prevent ovarian cancer.
But there is growing evidence that ovary removal may be associated with an increased risk for heart disease and stroke, and other age-related diseases, such as osteoporosis and even dementia.
The ovaries continue to produce hormones even after menopause that may be protective against such diseases, says ob-gyn Leonardo J. Orozco, MD, of the Women's Hospital, San Jose, Costa Rica.
In their newly published analysis, Orozco and colleagues were unable to find any high-quality controlled trials that examined the risks and benefits of routine ovary removal during hysterectomy in women with a low risk for ovarian cancer.
Ovary Removal Questioned
The analysis appears in the latest issue of The Cochrane Library, published by the medical research evaluation organization Cochrane Collaboration.
"Until more data becomes available, [ovary removal during hysterectomy] should be approached with great caution," Orozco tells WebMD. "Currently, the existing evidence does not support the high number of ovary removals in clinical practice."
The researchers concluded that there is an "urgent need" for appropriately designed trials to determine if ovary removal is justifiable for all women who have hysterectomies.
For women at high risk of ovarian cancer, including those with a strong family history of the disease and those with a genetic predisposition to get the cancer, the benefits of ovary removal are clear, says UCLA professor of obstetrics and gynecology William H. Parker, MD.
But for the vast majority of women who don't have these risks, removal of the ovaries during hysterectomy may not be justified, he says.
Parker's own 2005 study of hysterectomy patients between the ages of 40 and 80 with an average risk for ovarian cancer found no survival benefit associated with ovary removal at any age, and a survival disadvantage associated with the practice up until the age of 65.

I drive a VW CC 2.0T. I have driven on a set of these 235/35R19's for 45K and am only now replacing them after damaging one. They have been the best tires. My daily commute is 150 miles round trip via a banked corner toll road where weekly I see 100+ MPH once a week when traffic is not present. I live in Florida and drive in heavy rain quite often. These hold the road very well, wet or dry. Needless to say, traction on snow is not a factor for me.

These tires weren't bad for the price but they did have their shortcomings. One of the big issues was these are called all seasons, but they were utterly useless in snow. They're basically hockey pucks when it's cold out and I spun instantly even with an utter lack of torque, just trying to move the car around the yard. They're a decently grippy tire and I only managed to overdrive the tires grip once when I took a corner a little to hot. Road noise is present but far from over powering. They do make a bit of noise on chip seal roads though. Another big issue is if you drive spiritedly in the corners, you will basically scrub the tread off in a real hurry. I'd hate to see these tires after a track day. I changed these tires out at 30,000 km and they were all down to the wear bars. They were also rotated every 5,000 kms which didn't seem to help much apparently.

No opinion about snow, but they are noticeably quieter than Michelin or Pirelli. I think they're a great tire and at a great price.

Hi guys,
I did an upgrade to Ubuntu 9.04 earlier this week and since then whenever I've tried launching PS3 Media Server, it can't connect to the Ps3. I'm not sure if this universal or not, but I thought I'd better share my experience. I love the program and really look forward to being able to use it again soon.

There were 58 bookings at the San Joaquin County Jail in the 24 hours ending at 8 a.m. Monday. At that time, there were 1,471 people held at the jail, which has an official capacity of 1,411. When the jail is full, some inmates may be released early.
Grand theft: Kenneth Robert Burns, 52, was arrested Monday morning on suspicion of stealing 30 feet of 4-by-4-inch steel from Nasco Electric Signs in Stockton on Feb. 26. When he was confronted by employees from a neighboring business, Burns apparently told them he had permission to take the steel, officials said.
He left his business card with the witnesses, who also noted his vehicle license number, which aided investigators in his arrest in Manteca. The steel was valued at about $1,500.
Robbery: A 33-year-old man walking in the 1800 block of Monte Diablo Avenue at 6:43 p.m. Sunday was punched and knocked to the ground by a man who took his iPhone and fled on foot, police reported. The victim required treatment at a hospital for non-life-threatening injuries. The robber was described as heavyset and wearing a blue shirt and white shorts.
Dwelling shot: A family living in the 2100 block of East Mariposa Road was awakened at 1:30 a.m. Monday to the sound of gunfire and discovered their home had been struck numerous times. There were no injuries and no suspect information. The family reported hearing different weapons being fired.
Tower incident: Police and fire authorities responded to a Monday afternoon call of a 17-year-old boy "with mental issues" who had climbed about 100 feet up a utility pole near Cosumnes Drive, officials said. He eventually climbed down on his own and was taken by police for a mental evaluation.
The California Highway Patrol responded to six noninjury accidents in the 24 hours ending at 8 a.m. Monday. CHP officers also arrested eight people and recovered one stolen vehicle.
The Stockton Fire Department responded to 92 calls for service in the 24 hours ending at 8 a.m. Monday, including five vehicle accidents, 68 medical calls and one structure fire.

On the 4th of July, Earth will lie at its greatest distance from the Sun -- an annual event astronomers call "aphelion." But don't expect any sudden relief from the heat.
The Great Moon Hoax
2001 — April 6, 2011
Yes, there really is a Moon hoax, but the prankster isn't NASA. Moon rocks and common sense prove Apollo Astronautsreally did visit the Moon.

June in Missouri had a few days of cool weather and some regions had lots of rain. But overall, the state's weather for the month was near normal.
"It started out really cool, especially the first half of the month, then we saw some warmer temperatures during the latter half of the month," said Pat Guinan, climatologist for the University of Missouri Extension Commercial Agriculture Program. "When we crunch all the numbers, it's going to be a near-normal-temperature month."For several years, the Missouri trend for June has been above-normal temperatures, Guinan said. You have to go back to 2004 to find a June with below-normal temperatures.When you look at precipitation for June, it's a bit more complicated."There was a lot of variability across the state," Guinan said. "Looking at the state as a whole, it will turn out to be near-normal at about 4 1/2 inches, but it was anything but that when you regionalize precipitation across the state. The east-central part of Missouri saw 4 to 6 inches of rain, while the northwest region was drier at 2 to 4 inches."Some of the largest differences occurred in southwestern Missouri. Barton, Jasper and Dade counties had more than 10 inches of rain. At the same time, Barry, Stone and Taney counties had less than an inch of rain. That's a huge difference over a short distance, Guinan said.There was a lot of localized thunderstorm activity in southwestern Missouri. In southern Greene County and northern Christian County, an isolated thunderstorm dropped 6 to 9 inches in just a few hours and caused extreme flash flooding, he said."That can happen, especially during the summer season," Guinan said. "We get those thunderstorms that pop up. Some of them might not move much and drop a lot of rain, while your neighbor down the road will miss out on it completely. We've had several examples of that in June."For weather information from the Missouri Climate Center, go to climate.missouri.edu/weather.php.

PIKEVILLE, Ky. – No. 4 University of Pikeville scored the game's first 20 points and never looked back in a 109-60 win over Ohio Christian University Thursday night.
Playing for the first time since Dec. 17, Coach Kelly Wells' team showed no signs of rust as it exploded out of the gates. The Bears needed only 5:18 to have the 20-point lead, with senior Trevor Setty pouring in half of them and classmate Jamar "Deuce" Briscoe adding six, including the layup to make it 20-0.
The Bears didn't slow down for the remainder of the half in the final nonconference game of the regular season. Hitting 58.1 percent overall and 42.9 percent from the arc, the home team led 63-28 by recess. Setty had 23 markers while Briscoe had 11. Senior guard Chris Johnson had handed out eight assists by the break, as the team had 19 to go with nine steals.
Setty, who is 12th on the school's scoring list, finished with a game-high 26 points along with eight assists. Briscoe followed with 24 and five rebounds.
Junior Josh Whitaker tossed in 14, senior Terrance Saintil 12 and freshman Cody Malicoat two.
Senior point guard Chris Johnson stuffed the stat sheet with five points, nine assists, six steals and four rebounds.
OCU (6-7) had three players in double figures, led by sophomore Wesley Russell's 17 points. Freshman Jimmy Horton followed with 13. Both came off the bench, as the Trailblazers got 42 points off their bench.
Sophomore Evan Mills had 11 points to go with a team high seven rebounds.

Wilson: Mills fights off Thomaston
It was over. It wasn't over. They had them. They didn't have them. It was in the bag. It was out of the bag. You've got to love that this is just the start, and they get to do it again down the road.
Lewis Mills and Thomaston kicked off the girls basketball season Wednesday night with a good, old-fashioned street fight — not very big on style points, but off the charts in entertainment value.
When the smoke had cleared and the last piece of grit had been expended, it was Mills that drew first blood with a we-had-just-enough performance for a 46-42 victory in front of CPTV and a vocal crowd that had the noise reverberating off the gym walls.
Lewis Mills coach Joe Capitani has lauded the two-time defending Berkshire League champion and Class S finalist Golden Bears for their refuse-to-lose demeanor and was at it again after the game. But he also noted that maybe the Spartans finally found that special ingredient.
"Thomaston is never going to give you a game. It is what makes them hard to beat. They have five players whose only goal is to beat you, and we didn't have that last year," said Capitani. "But this group, I said to them the team with energy and execution is going to win this game. The team that had more guts and made more plays down the stretch was going to win. I thought I was going to die, but we made the plays when we needed them."
And a lot of those plays came from one Miss Teagan Dunn, who scored 18 points and grabbed 20 rebounds, outboarding the entire Thomaston team. Mills posted a 39-19 edge off the glass.
With Dunn dominating down low (14 offensive boards) and Thomaston struggling to handle pressure and find offense beyond All-Stater Abby Hurlbert (23 points, including five 3-pointers, seven rebounds), Mills ground out a 29-20 halftime lead.
But the third quarter was what Capitani likes so much about the Bears. You can kick them, belt them, lay a healthy run on them, but you can't kill them. The heart beats on. So here came the Bears.
They amped up the defense, made some adjustments and forced the Spartans into 1-of-14 shooting and eight turnovers in the third quarter. By the end of it, suddenly the Mills lead was down to 31-30.
"I told them we just got punched," said Capitani. "Thomaston can take infinite punches, and we need to show we can take a punch."
These are games the Bears usually win. History says so. Welcome to a new era, or at least a different night. Three times, the Bears had a chance to go ahead in the final quarter, only to come up empty on two missed free throws and two turnovers.
And when it came time to make plays, the Spartans made them. Dunn hit a pair of free throws to make it 35-32 and then physically willed her way inside off an inbounds play for what turned out to be a 3-point play and a 38-32 lead with just under four minutes to go.
This time, it really looked like Mills had seized control. Oops, not with Hurlbert on the floor. Boom, a 3-pointer from deep. And after a Lesleigh Carter foul shot, Hurlbert drove to the hoop to cut the deficit to 39-37.
After Natalie Ruel (16 points), who was outstanding, converted a steal, Hurlbert drained another 3-pointer, giving her eight points in about 90 seconds as Thomaston trailed, 41-40.
Dunn's turn. With the Bears in the mood to take over, Dunn blocked a Hurlbert shot and Carter scored at the other end for a 43-40 lead. After a steal on the sideline, Dunn scored a layup to put the game away with a 45-40 lead with 41 seconds to go.
Well, not yet. After Bryttnie Thomas brought Thomaston to within one possession with an offensive rebound basket with 10 seconds left, Thomaston stole the inbounds and the ball ended up in Hurlbert's hands.
You knew the shot was going in. Not this time. Dunn blocked a deep 3-pointer from the side, and it was finally over.
"We knew we were in it, and we were not going to lose it," said Dunn. "Thomaston is always good, but we feel we've been with them."
"Lewis Mills played a great game," said Bears coach Bob McMahon. "They tried to limit the damage of one player (Hurlbert) and did enough of it. Teagan Dunn is a serious problem and Ruel solidified herself as one of the top two guards in the league."
Can't wait for the next time around.

About the Book
Jennifer McQuiston's debut historical romance, What Happens in Scotland, is a lively, romantic adventure about a wedding that neither the bride or the groom remembers.
Lady Georgette Thorold has always been wary of marriage, so when she wakes up next to an attractive Scotsman with a wedding ring on her finger, it's easy to understand why she panics and flees. Convinced that Georgette is a thief, her may-be husband, James McKenzie, searches for her. As both try to recall what happened that fateful night, they begin to realize that their attraction and desire for each other is undeniable. But is it enough?
Fans of Sarah MacLean and Mary Balogh will enjoy this utterly charming historical romance from award-winning author Jennifer McQuiston that features unforgettable characters and a satisfying mix of adventure and passion.
She Woke Up Married
When Lady Georgette Thorold awoke she saw . . . her corset hanging from the armoire . . . a very handsome, very naked Scotsman lying beside her . . . and a wedding ring on her finger!
Before the attractive stranger can tell her his name, Georgette does the only sensible thing—she runs for it.
Little does she know, James MacKenzie isn't clear on what happened the night before either. All he knows is that his money is missing and the stunning woman who just ran from the room is either his wife or a thief . . . or possibly both.
What happens in Scotland when two complete strangers fall madly, deeply in love?

The Pentagon has paid anti-war activist Noam Chomsky the highest honor any totalitarian entity can bestow upon an author: they've banned his book "Interventions" at Guantanamo Bay prison.
They won't say precisely why they "honored" Chomsky, but Navy spokesman Lt. Cmdr. Brook DeWalt told the Miami Herald that"Interventions"(City Lights Books) might negatively "impact on (Gitmo's) good order and discipline."
The Pentagon, of course, insists on "good order and discipline" running its prison camp. Chomsky likes order, too. What he objects to is the Pentagon spreading disorder globally.
Instead of thanking the Pentagon for his "honor," Chomsky, is said to be angry. The Herald quotes him as saying, "This happens sometimes in totalitarian regimes."
Indeed! Nazi newsreels show Hitler's brown shirts igniting huge bonfires in German streets into which they pitched banned books. Hitler banned over 4,000 books ranging from anti-war novel "All Quiet on the Western Front" by Erich Maria Remarque to Jack London's "The Call of The Wild."
And just as Communist Russia wouldn't let its citizens read "The First Circle" and "Cancer Ward" by Alexander Solzhenitsyn, comrades in the Pentagon refused to allow Gitmo prisoner Hamza al Bahlul to read Chomsky's "Interventions," sent him by a defense lawyer.
The Pentagon's ban mimics Iran's campaign to kill British novelist Salman Rushdie for his 1988 epic "The Satanic Verses." Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ruholla Khomeni indicted Rushdie as "blasphemous against Islam." The Pentagon, according to The Herald, won't authorize a book that is "anti-American, anti-Semitic, (or) anti-Western." Note the similarities of the Pentagon's objections and the Ayatollah's. Kissin' cousins, maybe? Some might suspect its Pentagon censorship that's "anti-American."
Known and very popular cialis coupon which gives all the chance to receive a discount for a preparation which has to be available and exactly cialis coupons has been found in the distant room of this big house about which wood-grouses in the houses tell.
Censorship of Chomsky is not unique. The Pentagon has long pressured Hollywood to show the military in a favorable light. It also bans photographers from war zones if they snap pictures of slain U.S. troops. "I took pictures of something they didn't like, and they removed me (from Iraq)," complained photographer Zoriah Miller who, like Chomsky, may also be said to be angry. "Deciding what I can and cannot document, I don't see a clearer definition of censorship," he said.
Back to Chomsky: What has he written the Pentagon doesn't want Gitmo prisoners to read? Perhaps it's where he quotes President Bush's remark "the United States — alone — has the right to carry out 'preventive war'…using military force to eliminate a perceived threat…" Chomsky adds this is the "supreme crime" condemned at Nuremberg.
If the Pentagon is upset over "Interventions" they'll be really ticked at Chomsky's "Imperial Ambitions(Metropolitan Books)." In that book, he writes about how the Pentagon's troops burst into Falluja General Hospital, (November, 2004) on asinine grounds it was "a center of propaganda against allied forces," and kicked the patients out of their beds and handcuffed them and their doctors to the floor, which Chomsky rightly branded "a grave breach of the Geneva Conventions."
The Pentagon might also oppose Chomsky for accusing them of genocide: "If civilians managed to flee Falluja, they were allowed out — except for men. Men of roughly military age were turned back. That's what happened in Srebrenica in 1995. The only difference is the United States bombed the Iraqis out of the city, they didn't truck them out. Women and children were allowed to leave; men were stopped, if they were found, and sent back. They were supposed to be killed. That's universally called genocide, when the Serbs do it. When we do it, it's liberation."
Banning Chomsky will only call attention to his incisive depictions of Pentagon war crimes. While the Pentagon may worry Chomsky's work might get Muslim prisoners angry, maybe it should be concerned that Chomsky's comments such as the following on the Military-Industrial Complex might yet arouse bamboozled and disgusted U.S. taxpayers:
"Empires are costly. Running Iraq is not cheap. Somebody's paying. Somebody's paying the corporations that destroyed Iraq and the corporations that are rebuilding it. In both cases, they're getting paid by the U.S. taxpayer. Those are gifts from U.S. taxpayers to U.S. corporations…..first you destroy Iraq, then you rebuild it. It's a transfer of wealth from the general population to narrow sectors of the population." Like the Pentagon, which will reap $664 billion next year.
Time to replace the Pentagon with the Peace Corps. It accomplishes far more with far less.

Noam Chomsky
Noam Chomsky works for the Massachusettes Institute of Technology. The American Government has poured millions of dollars into this institutions development of weapons which have killed people in despotic regimes and wars around the globe. The MIT is the largest recipient for donations of this kind in the US. This is at complete odds with Chomskys declared political viewpoints. If he were any way true to his beliefs he would have resigned long ago.
Noam Chomsky joined the staff of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 1955 and in 1961 was appointed full professor in the Department of Modern Languages and Linguistics (now the Department of Linguistics and Philosophy). From 1966 to 1976 he held the Ferrari P. Ward Professorship of Modern Languages and Linguistics, and in 1976 he was appointed Institute Professor. As of 2010, Chomsky has taught at MIT continuously for 55 years.
During this time Defence Spending at the MIT increased rapidly over the years, being cited in books and articles critical of US support of despotic regimes in Latin America which were engaging in human rights abuses.
MIT is the number one non-profit Department of Defense contractor in the nation, according to the Chronicle of Higher Education (4/13/88). In 1987, MIT pulled in $407.6 million in DOD contracts, outdoing second runner-up Johns Hopkins University by $52.7 million. The MITRE Corporation was the third runner-up in military contracts with $347.5 million. The director of the MITRE Corporation is MIT Provost John M. Deutch '61.
Fifth runner-up was Draper Laboratories, with $164.7 million in DOD contracts. Until 1973, Draper Laboratories was the MIT Instrumentation Laboratory. MIT divested from the I-Labs in 1973, following four years of student and faculty protests, which began with the 1969 March 4 research strike. The official divestiture, however, had little impact on MIT's ties to Draper.
According to the 1988-89 MIT Bulletin, "Draper Laboratories maintains a relationship with the Institute that permits students to engage in joint research activities" and enjoy "its unique contribution to the Institute's educational program." Draper definitely does provide a "unique" opportunity: specifically, classified applied weapons research.

"Steve" says above "This is at complete odds with Chomskys declared political viewpoints. If he were any way true to his beliefs he would have resigned long ago."
This of course is "Steve's" opinion, nothing else. There is nothing inherently irrational about Chomsky's position at MIT. We cannot abandon every institution because the empire is present there. That's absurd. "Steve" is perhaps working for "them". "They" would of course prefer to get every oppositional voice out of every institution. They could then claim they are supported 100% by the institutions of the professional class. "Steve" apparently thinks we should abandon every institution to the imperialists. That would certainly silence the voice of opposition. However, the imperialists do not own the university system. They have overrun it, yes to a certain extent. Perhaps "Steve" is content to move out to bumtown and write books on the backs of old supermarket bags. Perhaps that is why I've never heard of "Steve". His supermarket bag tomes never reach me at my end of the spectrum. Chomsky's, however, do. Good thing for me I'm pragmatic, yes?

In this episode (download here), the Geeks catch up on training (and Jason's lack of), winter running deals at Wal-Mart, New York City Marathon (NYCM), Marine Corps Marathon (MCM), next year's running goals, Operation Jack, our Facebook page, and email.
Twitter Search-and-Follow = @IdiotRunner
Raymond found some good deals on entry level base layer gear at his local Wal-Mart. Not a bad idea for a newer runner trying to get some gear without breaking the bank. Jason made a suggestion to start doing "errand runs" on weekends. This comes after he ran to the local video store (do they still call them video stores?) and back to rent some scary movies for Halloween. Speaking of Halloween, we had to take a short break in the middle of the show while Jason checked to see if his neighbor was retaliating for the "tricks" Jason played earlier that night.
The Geeks mentioned the next half marathon on the radar for them is the St. Louis Frostbite Half on January 22nd. Jason will be running it for sure (it's his 30th birthday!), Raymond is a little iffy on it since it requires him traveling down to St. Louis. Depending on how the half goes, the boys plan on also doing the April GOSTL marathon if they can get registered before it fills up.
A big congrats to all those who participated in the Marine Corps Marathon today, and a big "good luck" for those doing the New York City Marathon next Sunday! Also, special congrats to Eric (@veganrunningdad) on completing his first marathon!
If you have time, do check out Operation Jack's page. He is running 61 marathons in 2010 to raise money for Autism. A great guy to great things for a great cause.
While you're surfing the web, head over to our Facebook page and get engaged. Right now, the question is out there asking for a new Twitter handle for Jason.
Thank you Ryan and Humberto for the great feedback (submitted to feedback[at]geeksinrunningshoes[dot]com). Any jingle makers out there? We need a jingle for our "Twitter Search-and-Follow" segment. Get on it, Geeks!
Until next week, stay Geeky!

Short Bowel Syndrome
It is possible that the main title of the report Short Bowel Syndrome is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report.
Disorder Subdivisions
- None
General Discussion
Short bowel syndrome is a complex disease that occurs due to the physical loss or the loss of function of a portion of the small and/or large intestine. Consequently, individuals with short bowel syndrome often have a reduced ability to absorb nutrients such as fats, carbohydrates (sugars) vitamins, minerals, trace elements and fluids (malabsorption). The specific symptoms and severity of short bowel syndrome vary from one person to another. Diarrhea is common, often severe and can cause dehydration, which can even be life threatening. Short bowel syndrome can lead to malnutrition, unintended weight loss and additional symptoms may be due to the loss of essential vitamins and minerals. There is no cure, but the disorder usually can be treated effectively. However, in severe cases, short bowel syndrome can lead to severe, disabling and life-threatening complications. Short bowel syndrome is most commonly associated with the surgical removal (resection) of half or more of the small intestine. Such surgery is performed to treat intestinal diseases such as Crohn's disease, injury or trauma to the small bowel, or congenital birth defects. The presence or absence of the large intestine (colon) also plays an important role in the genesis and/or treatment of the short bowel syndrome.
Through the years, the definition of short bowel syndrome in the medical literature has varied. This has led to confusion. Although some medical sources seem to reserve the name short bowel syndrome for cases caused by surgical resection of a portion of the small intestine, other sources have noted that the disorder can result from any disease, injury or condition that hinders or prevents the proper function of the small intestine even if the length of the bowel is unaffected. Short bowel syndrome may be classified as a cause or subcategory of intestinal failure. In rare cases, infants are born with a short bowel (congenital short bowel syndrome). Although these congenital cases are often associated with malrotation of the small intestine, the exact cause of congenital short bowel syndrome is unknown.
