Some VIP in Ayrton Senna's wake.Ayrton Senna da Silva , March 21, 1960 May 1, 1994) was a Brazilian racing driver and triple Formula One world champion. He remains the last Grand Prix driver killed while driving a Formula One car.A kart racer from an early age, Senna won the British Formula 3 championship in 1983 and made his Formula One debut with Toleman the next year. He moved to Lotus-Renault in 1985, and won six Grands Prix over the next three seasons. In 1988 he joined Frenchman Alain Prost at McLaren-Honda, the top driver and team at the time, and won that year's championship. He and Prost developed a heated rivalry, which is regarded as the bitterest in F1 history. Senna also won the 1990 and 1991 F1 championships. In the next two years with McLaren, despite driving an inferior car, Senna won races and challenged for the 1993 world title, finishing runner-up to Prost. He switched to the then-dominant Williams Renault team for the 1994 season. At the third race of the year millions of fans witnessed his fatal crash live on global TV coverage whilst leading the San Marino Grand Prix.At the third race of the season, the San Marino Grand Prix at Imola, Senna declared that this was where his season would start, with fourteen races, as opposed to sixteen, in which to win the title.[49] Senna again placed the car on pole, but he was particularly upset by two events. On Friday, during the afternoon qualifying session, Senna's protégé, the then F1 newcomer Rubens Barrichello, was involved in a serious accident that prevented him from competing in the race. The next day, Austrian driver Roland Ratzenberger was killed in a practice accident.Senna spent his final morning meeting fellow drivers, determined after Ratzenberger's accident to take on a new responsibility to re-create a Drivers' Safety group (i.e. Grand Prix Drivers' Association) to increase safety in Formula One. As the most senior driver, he offered to take the role of leader in this effort.Senna and the other drivers all opted to start the Grand Prix, but the race was interrupted by a huge accident at the start line. A safety car was deployed and the drivers followed it for several laps. On the restart Senna immediately set a quick pace with the third quickest lap of the race, followed by Schumacher. As Senna entered the high-speed Tamburello corner on the next lap, the car left the track at high speed, hitting the concrete retaining wall at around 135 mph. Senna was removed from the car by Sid Watkins and his medical team and treated by the side of the car before being airlifted to Bologna hospital where Senna was later declared dead. What had likely happened was that the right front wheel had shot up after impact like a catapult and violated the cockpit area where Senna was sitting. It impacted the right frontal area of his helmet, and the violence of the wheels impact pushed his head back against the headrest, causing fatal skull fractures. A piece of upright attached to the wheel had partially penetrated his helmet and made a big indent in his forehead. In addition, it appeared that a jagged piece of the upright assembly had penetrated the helmet visor just above his right eye. Any one of the three injuries would probably have killed him.[50] As track officials examined the wreckage of his racing car they found a furled Austrian flag -- a victory flag that he was going to raise in honour of Austrian Roland Ratzenberger, who had died on that track the day before.To this day, the cause of the accident has still not been fully determined after many court cases, including Williams being investigated for manslaughter though the charges were later dropped.Ayrton Senna da Silva (São Paulo, 21 de março de 1960 — Bolonha, Itália, 1 de maio de 1994) foi um piloto brasileiro de Fórmula 1, três vezes campeão mundial, nos anos de 1988, 1990 e 1991. Foi também vice-campeão no controverso campeonato de 1989 e em 1993. Faleceu em acidente no Autódromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari, em Ímola, durante o Grande Prêmio de San Marino de 1994. Sua excelente performance nas fórmulas anteriores (especialmente na Fórmula 3 inglesa em 1983) o levou a estrear na Fórmula 1 no Grande Prêmio do Brasil de 1984 pela equipe Toleman-Hart. Logo na sua primeira temporada na categoria máxima, Senna demonstrou rapidamente um talento excepcional levando a pequena equipe inglesa à exaustão e a obter resultados jamais alcançados. É considerado um dos maiores nomes do esporte brasileiro e um dos maiores pilotos da história do automobilismo.Na terceira corrida da temporada, o GP de San Marino, em Ímola, Senna declarou que esta deveria ser a corrida de início da temporada para ele, pois não havia terminado as anteriores e agora faltavam apenas catorze corridas. Senna mais uma vez conquistou a pole, mas o fim de semana não seria tão fácil.O banco foi o principal patrocinador do piloto de Fórmula 1 Ayrton Senna.

By the Way...Whatever Happened to the Other Partridge Kids?
Some Had Regrets, but All Moved On—and They Still Cherish the Memories
Having cleaned up his act, Danny capitalized on his mighty mouth
Danny Bonaduce remembers hilling bottom. Back in 1985 the Partridges' carrot-capped imp had become, in life, a 26-year-old cocaine addict. When his mother flew out to L.A. from Philadelphia and found him in a cheap hotel, she delivered a chilling message. "She said, 'You're going to die soon,'' recalls Bonaduce, now 34. "She was right. I was a skinny, dirty guy with sunken eyes."
Today the face is flushed, the physique buffed and the man ebullient: clean, sober and employed as an evening radio talk show host on WLUPFM in Chicago, where he lives in a loft with his wife of three years, Gretchen Hillmer, who serves as his booking agent. But the transformation didn't come easy. Following his first cleanup, Bonaduce lapsed into his old habits, and the only jobs he could find were as a security guard and a bartender. In 1990 he was arrested in Daylona Beach, Fla., for attempting lo buy coke and was sentenced to 15 months probation. The following year he was charged with assaulting a transvestite prostitute in Phoenix.
Dave Madden, who played the Partridges' manager, Reuben Kincaid, recalls young Danny's misery at being caught in the middle of his parents' divorce. "There were times when he just didn't want to go home," says Madden. But mostly Danny's memories are happy—including his recollection of losing his virginity, at 13, on the set with a young woman who was hoping to meet David Cassidy.
The first Chris is a computer whiz who tots up the 'what ifs'
When Jeremy Gelbwaks walked into his new sixth-grade class at Hunters Wood in Reston, Va., having finished filming his only season playing Chris, his acting career was over. The reason: His father, Norman, a U.S. government employee, had been transferred from L.A. But because the show had just begun airing, Jeremy-was a star. "Total pandemonium broke out," he recalls. "I enjoyed it immensely." The realization that he was no longer a Partridge "was troubling for me," he admits.
Eventually, Jeremy turned from the stage lo the sciences. Now 32, he lives in New Orleans with wife Patricia, a comptroller, and works for a major computer services company as a business and technology planner. He became a computer analyst back in 1983 while studying chemistry al Berkeley. Still, he never got show business totally out of his system. Gelbwaks made a brief stab al performing ("I wasn't good at Method acting"), then served as a production assistant on films in New York City in 1988. Even if he had stayed a Partridge, he consoles himself, he might not have achieved stardom. "But," he says, "you never know."
The second Chris traded the Hollywood fast track for the racetrack
Brian Forster's grandfather, Alan Napier, was the butler on TV's Batman; and his mother, father and stepfather were all actors. He had already started making commercials by the time he was asked to replace Jeremy Gelbwaks as Chris, at age 11.
When the Partridges ended, "I wanted to be a normal kid and not have anything to do with acting," he says. Shifting gears, he became a race-car driver and instructor. "There's more mental work involved than people give it credit for," says Forster, who lives in Sebastopol, Calif., and just won the Pacific Coast Road Racing Championship.
In contrast to his own broken home, the happy family of the Partridge set was a wonderful haven for Brian. Shirley Jones "was like a mom to me," he says. He had a little romance with Suzanne Crough (Tracy) that involved "just kissing," says Brian; he got his first French smacker from a young guest actress at the lop of the Partridge staircase. But "I stayed a virgin until I was 22," admits Forster, now 33, who never married and is available.
Forster's only regret from his Partridge experience? "I wish I could have been a kid a little longer."
Tracy, the youngest Partridge, now has two chicks of her own
Suzanne Crough, who played moppet Tracy Partridge, is 30, still a strawberry blonde—and highly normal. Until recently she owned a bookstore in Temcula, Calif., 65 miles from L.A., and is on a bowling team. Her husband, William Condray, 33, is a highway patrolman who goes to law school at night. They have two daughters, Samantha, 6, and Alexandra, 2. "There is life after acting," says Crough.
The youngest of eight children of a motor-scooter dealer and a housewife, Crough, who grew up in L.A., followed two of her acting brothers into commercials. Post-Partridge, she landed a few supporting roles, did more commercials and later took jobs waitressing, parking cars and working for her father. She admits she sometimes misses show business. "When I saw A League of Their Own," she recalls, "I said, 'I could've been in that picture.' It would've been fun."

Recreation grows
A place to play: In the summer of 1894, the first clubhouse of the Kahkwa Club opened to membership on the present-day site of the water filtration plant on Sommerheim Drive in Millcreek Township. The clubhouse was designed by architect G. Paxton Cody, and members were permitted to play tennis, baseball and croquet in the nearby fields. A dock and boathouse at Tracy Point provided water access to members. In 1899, as the popularity of golf skyrocketed, the club moved to a spacious new building on Crescent Drive, one that afforded easy access to the adjacent Erie Golf Association "golfing grounds." It wasn't until 1917 that the club moved to its present location off Swanville Road in Fairview Township.
ALSO IN 1894: The Erie Yacht Club was established on Nov. 14, 1894, after a meeting at the present-day Erie Club. The original club's fleet consisted of 15 sailboats, 12 rowboats, two racing shells, one canoe, one steam launch and six naphtha launches. ... The Central Market House was constructed at 16th and State streets. This construction marked the first permanent market facility since the Erie Market House was demolished in 1886.

One from me, one from Penny
I cashed in the most recent box of dimes, having found only one silver in the $250 (1963 Philly). As luck has it, the Penny Arcade coin counting machines at TD Bank don't recognize silver currency, so they kick them out (CoinStar does the same thing). So, after running the money through, I searched the reject bin to find a 1963 Denver dime waiting for me :) I cannot believe I missed it, so it had to have been there from a previous customer. Too bad for them.

(IMPORTANT PART:) I'm currently in a relationship with a very beautiful person, however i'm polyamorous. Looking for anything really, but preferably a guy who's into BDSM.
I play a lot of video games and go on a lot of political forums in my spare time. In terms of political views the only label i would describe myself as would be an Anarchist. In terms of my sexuality i would describe myself as very submissive.
I answered half of the questions on this site when i was like 19 or something, so some of the answers may vary now.
Here's my soundcloud if you want to hear some of earlier work at uni.
I watch a lot of random assorted anime's. Evengelion and attack on titan are probably my 2 favourite animes. When i was a little younger i used to watch terrible, terrible BL stuff like Sukisho or Gravitation...
Perfume is probably one of my all time favourite films. I also like, Fight Club, Fear and Loathing in Los Vegas, human traffic, waking life and anything directed by Quentin Tarantino, although there are a few films of his i have yet to watch.
When it comes to music i listen to Prokofiev, Nobuo Uematsu, Soil and 'Pimp' Sessions, Maximum no hormone, Miyavi, Steve Vai, Guthrie Govan, Infected Mushroom, Bjork, Steve Reich, Mark Anthony Turnage and more.
Video games
The internet
Good food
oh and you either live in england, or regularly travel to england.
Also if you have a really nice beard my likelihood of wanting to date/fuck you is gonna be a lot higher. You could see that as being shallow, but I'm just trying to be honest here. Also since mentioning this, I've had a lot of guys asking me to rate their beard and shit and it's getting old real quick. Also if your older than 40 then you better have some money and some generosity.

May 24, 1999
Mr. Shaner, a social worker and active member of the Northshore community, grew up in Bothell and lived in the area most of his life, raising his family and most recently establishing his private counseling practice in his home.
He is survived by his son, Paul Wade Shaner, his brother, Larry Shaner, and parents, Mel and Pauline Shaner of Mount Vernon, WA. He also leaves a large extended family of friends that he developed through his community service and board memberships.
He was the Executive Director, Program Director, and therapist with Northshore Youth and Family Services for more than 10 years. A member of Kiwanis of Northshore, he had served as secretary since 1991. In the early '80s, Mr. Shaner had helped organize Teen Northshore and this past year served as president.
He was committed to youth and would spent countless hours counseling and encouraging youth. For many years, he served as soccer coach to both boys and girls.
Mr. Shaner was the co-founder of M.E.N.'s magazine and was a leader in identifying men's issues, male and female relationships, and anger management classes.
A memorial potluck will be held on Sunday, May 30, at 2:30 p.m. at Mr. Shaner's house, 19502 61st NE in Kenmore, for the sharing of memories and stories.

For those traveling with children, the Grand Canyon offers an array of family-friend activities. A favorite is the complimentary Be A Junior Ranger Program. The program allows kids to learn about the Grand Canyon and how to preserve nature in order to teach others back home. Once the child meets the requirements, they are sworn in as a Grand Canyon National Park Junior Ranger. There are different programs depending on the age of the child, but some of the activities include writing down observations at the park, composing poems and taking part in special Ranger-led excursions. During the summer, the program expands to help families learn even more about the park's geology, archeology, animal tracking, astronomy and how to be a naturalist guide.
Bird-watching is another one of the fun Grand Canyon activities for families, as well as a great way to make a scenic hike more interesting. This activity is usually enjoyed on the South Rim, where you can try to spot over 300 species of birds. Keep your eyes open for Kestrels, Hawks, Bald Eagles, Spotted Owls, Peregrine Falcons and the California Condor, one of the rarest birds in the world.
If your family is tired after a long day of exploring the Grand Canyon, head to The Grand Hotel in Tusayan, located one mile south of the park entrance, to cool off in their indoor swimming pool, which is open to guests as well as non-guests during low occupancy. Additionally, the Best Western Squire Inn features the area's largest arcade room as well as a six-lane bowling alley, which is open to both guests and non-guests.

The Mavrovo National Park is one of Europe's oldest national parks. Bears, wolves, otters, and rare fish species roam freely in its mountainous landscape, primeval forests and numerous creeks and rivers. One species is outstanding, however: the Balkan lynx. Only about 50 of these animals are believed have survived to this day. Mavrovo National Park is the center of this remaining population and the only place where it is still known to procreate successfully.
If we don't act immediately, the Balkan lynx is likely to go extinct. Two large hydropower plants are slated to be built in the middle of the national park. Being sold to the public as green sources of energy, the World Bank and the EBRD intend to support the projects with a total of EUR 135 million. They are thereby financing the destruction of the national park and the extermination of the Balkan lynx.
"Mavrovo hosts [...] the last source of population with reproduction of the Balkan lynx [...]. Putting any additional stress on this source population may lead to the extinction of one of the most threatened mammal populations in Europe," says Dr. Urs Breitenmoser, Co-Chair, IUCN-SSC Cat Specialist Group.
"These projects are not only threatening to destroy this particular national park, they undermine the very idea of national parks," warns Gabriel Schwaderer, CEO of the Foundation for Conservation EuroNatur. "If we do not even succeed in protecting nature and biodiversity in national parks, do we stand a chance to preserve it anywhere else?" Riverwatch CEO Ulrich Eichelmann adds.
It is unlikely that the Macedonian government will be capable of realizing these projects without the World Bank's and EBRD's financial aid. Take action and call on the banks to refuse funding and the Macedonian Prime Minister to scrap the projects.

To be honest, I don't know what all this fervor is over Disney's "Frozen." As a mother of two children, I've survived the required hours of viewing animated heroes swashbuckling their way through life and forlorn princesses waiting to be delivered from sanitized horrors that are a far cry from those penned by the actual brothers Grimm.
I don't "get" Princesses; I never have. I didn't get it when Ariel wanted to give up her voice -- her voice! -- for a handsome man she barely knew. I do appreciate Disney's attempts, in later decades, to give a more updated portrait of things feminine. I loved when Mulan became a warrior, and when Belle did something as "shocking" as reading books. But for the most part, the pretty-girl-in-a-ball-gown seeking meaning through a single, dreamy relationship left me cold.
I'm not saying that's why I haven't bothered to watch "Frozen." It may be a wonderful film, and it garnered Disney an Oscar for best animated feature. By all indications, it's taken little girls the world over by storm. Although this animated tale inspired by Hans Christian Andersen's "The Snow Queen" takes place above the tundra, nothing in it has left wee ones cold. Passionate grade-school fervor surrounds this movie, and the music seems to connect with adults as well.
I somehow -- as if by unconscious osmosis -- have learned the lyrics to "Let it Go," sung for the film by powerhouse vocalist Idina Menzel. My 11-year-old daughter, who has done theater since she before she could tie her own shoes, has been singing it. In the shower. In the back yard. In the other room, when I'm trying to watch the intense final episodes of the complete "Breaking Bad" on Netflix Instant (a wholly different kind of blue ice than that of "Frozen").
To find out what all the excitement is about, I went to a "meet and greet" that featured costumed actors, portraying characters from the movie. For a small fee, children could pose with the actors -- who must have seemed like the real deal to some of the very youngest -- and get an autograph. Coordinated by Kellie's Characters, a north shore company providing birthday party entertainment, the event drew hundreds of kids to the lawn of the Lakehouse restaurant in Old Mandeville.
They came from lands far, far away, like Kenner, and Baton Rouge, so their daughters could have a brief moment of time with the objects of their obsession. The children wore tutus and blue capes. They bore the afternoon heat in a long line filled with starry-eyed kids on a sweaty pilgrimage.
"The movie's really good, because it's not the typical story from Disney of the girl and guy falling in love and living happily ever after," said Lindsey Bender of Slidell, who brought her pre-schooler. "The whole theme of the movie is that love will thaw a frozen heart, and that relates not just to kids but to parents, adults, grandparents, who have been hurt in their lives ... and their hearts ARE frozen."
"It's a powerful movie with a lot of messages, much deeper meaning than just cute songs for kids," Bender said.
Calla Harper of Mandeville came dressed as Ariel from "The Little Mermaid." She wore a floor-length gown and had a fresh yellow flower tucked into her flame-colored hair. She thinks the movie has grabbed at the heartstrings of little girls because of messages about sibling love.
"Any kids who have had a little sister or little brother absolutely love 'Frozen,' because they can kind of relate to it," Harper said. "They see the relationship [between sisters] in the movie and they feel like they can relate."
Based on my conversations with the kids, it's not altogether clear whether those messages were important, or that they were actually getting through. The truth was more fundamental. They liked the pretty dresses. And, it seemed the magic -- as is often the case with Disney -- was in the music.
"The composers of the soundtrack were amazing ... It's just beautiful music," Harper said, of the movie that has captured a generation of mini-princesses who must, being from South Louisiana, think the ice and snow are as exotic as enchanted talking teapots or magical brooms.
Maybe it's time for me to stop being a curmudgeon, time to become unfrozen. I should sit down with my daughter, hope she has the wherewithal to make it through the movie without breaking out in some sort of Broadway-style revue in the middle of the living room (this happens) and actually try to enjoy it.
A positive critique came from a little boy from Metairie. He was among the few males present, but he made a good case for why "Frozen" might be fun for boys - or tomboys - or grumpy middle-aged women who lean more towards Maleficent than Elsa - as well.
"I like it more than a million other princess movies," he said.

Kevin G. is a man of few words. In an email headed simply "Stews," he wrote me the following: "Who serves the best in town? Beef, lamb, etc." That was the message in its entirety. Over and out.
But wait a minute – although it's a brief query, it's also a difficult one.
The reason is this: In the culinary world – or in my culinary world, anyway – there's a great divide between "restaurant cooking" and "home cooking." And stew often fits into the second category.
When it comes out of a home kitchen, stew, like soup, is the kind of dish that a (hopefully adept) home cook prepares after opening the fridge and gazing into it for a long, long time, waiting for inspiration to strike.
But restaurants usually don't work that way. They may rely on seasonal or local products for inspiration, but consistency has to be the goal, so they need recipes, and if the chef does what he is supposed to when he makes out the shopping list, there aren't that many leftovers to work with. So not too many local restaurants serve stew as such, at least not on a regular basis.
One exception is the Shannon Pub, 2250 Niagara Falls Blvd., Tonawanda, where they serve – no surprise – Irish Stew, made as it should be, with lamb. Also Beef and Guinness Stew. Both are served at lunch or dinner.
What's in a name, though? Chester's, 9416 Transit Road, East Amherst, has Crawfish Etouffee on its menu. Etouffee is a kind of Cajun stew cooked with tomatoes, onion and peppers, and served over rice.
Though you didn't mention seafood specifically in your question, Kevin, I have two other fishy stew ideas for you.
Shango, 3260 Main St., features a Creole Bouillabaisse that includes shrimp, crab, scallops, mussels and catfish, served in tomato broth with fennel and other goodies.
And at Hutch's, 1375, Delaware Ave., you can order the Mussel Stew with lots of vegetables.
On another subject, here's an interesting and inspiring email responding to my recent column on steakhouses:
"Janice: I'm a strict vegetarian, not vegan, for 15 years. Previously, I'd been a enthusiastic carnivore, but based on a bet with my daughter, who said I couldn't be a vegetarian, I tried it and liked it. That's another story.
"For work and pleasure, I travel the world and my vegetarian ways have made this interesting. But now to the point, some of the best vegetarian meals I enjoy are at the best steakhouses. On a busy night, I order a la carte from the salad and sides menus. On a slow night, especially if I call ahead, the chef will make a vegetarian surprise meal from whatever they have in the kitchen. Their enthusiasm is amazing. I believe such a request reminds them why they went to cooking school originally.
"These meals are consistently so tasty that my wife, not a vegetarian, frequently says to the waiter, 'make two – I'll have the same thing.' "
– Dr. Philip G.
Send your questions and comments about dining out to Janice Okun at email@example.com. She will respond in this column.

General Motors Corporation has announced it will cut thousands of its dealerships across the nation, but the local impact of that is still unknown.
David Hook, owner of Bob Hook Chevrolet of Shelbyville, said Thursday he still hasn't heard anything from GM about whether or not his dealership will be a part of the leaner, more cost effective "New GM" expected to launch in the next 60 to 90 days as a separate company from the current GM.
The general consensus Dan Staples said he hears around the county is "we would recycle if curbside recycling was available." Seeing the need, Staples, along with Jason Whisman and Jeff Long, want to make that option a reality and are working to get Living Green Curbside Recycling off the ground. "In the county there are no other curbside recycling services available," Staples said. "We kicked around this idea for a year among business owners, family and friends.

The Walmart Supercenter in Shelbyville is undergoing a significant expansion of its floor space in an effort to create a better shopping experience for its customers.
This remodeling will give each of the store's departments an update, featuring new, wider aisles and more customer-friendly lower shelves. The exterior will get an update, too.
Walmart officials said they based their plans on feedback from customers.

Despite a brutal first quarter for many industries, Pegasus Packaging experienced a 27 percent rise in business, said co-owner Steve Meador.
Growth for the local outsourcing company came, Meador said, as industries looked for ways to save even small amounts of money in a tough economy.
"When things were good, they weren't looking so much at savings, but now they are trying to save everywhere they can," Meador said. "So now they're looking at what we can do for them."
Steve DeBoer knows how hard it is to be out of work. He has experienced the struggles first hand.
"I was once employed by The Budd Company [for six years], and I know the area has taken a pretty good hit lately," he said.
Now after climbing the ladder to the position of Regional Branch Manager at Liberty National Life Insurance Company, he said he is excited to announce an opportunity for 100-plus people to find work at the company's new Branch Office in Louisville.

Makes sense to me. Yoghurt, butter, ghee & cheese are better than milk
Hello everyone
I know many people do not consume milk, as it is from agriculture, and I just want to paraphrase some info I've just learned from the UK TV show called 'Coast' which shows milk as we now have it to be one of the first really modern processed foods: Up until 1864 when Louis Pasteur invented his preperation for milk, it was a very infrequent part of people's diet - it tasted of 'animal' and could not be preserved unless into cheese or butter. When pasteurisation arrived, milk was suddenly seen as a suitable dietary supplement for the growing populations in the cities of industrial revolution Europe, who often had chronic diets, and from that the fresian cow was bred with it's distinctive white coloration as an advert for the milk it was producing. The Fresian cow predates the coca-cola santa claus by only around 30 years!

Hi Owen. Interesting post.
Since I'm not as opposed to pasteurization as some,* my main complaint about readily available modern milk is the cows from which it's taken. Given BGH to increase milk production, they then become prone to infections, which leads to small ppm of pus in the milk and to chronic antibiotic use for the cows. So, a once rather healthy food is now something no one wants to drink once they think about it. Add in any ethical and ecological concerns about CAFOs, and the whole thing gets even worse.
*I do believe people should decide for themselves as to pasteurized or non, and the laws prohibiting raw milk are antiquated and pro-CAFO.

Who says back fat is a bad thing? Maybe on a hairy guy at the beach, but not on a crab.
Good point. I don't drink milk but I use organic butter which I hope equates to no hormones or drugs and responsible feeding. We've had a lactose free milk here now for a couple of years - even the milk industry realizes that a lot of people are turning away from it, but what is the lactose removal process....? It just gets a bit complicated and I just prefer not to drink it.

Patricia Robinson, the Urban League of Hudson County's director of Education and Youth Development said the main purpose of the conference was to make sure teenage girls know about the many resources available to them. Each girl was given a hefty director of resources available to them as part of the conference packet.
"It's about empowerment. Empowerment to define yourself and to have access to the resources you need," said Robinson. She said she hoped participants would walk away inspired.
"You can be anything that you can dream of. Define yourself and believe in yourself," she said.
In all, about 170 people attended, including teens and also some parents.
Panels ranged from communication skills to "sexting" and cyberbullying. There were also panels specifically for adults on parenting.
"As you push forward, the only piece of advice I can give you is that a college degree, nobody can take that away from you," said Michael Skolnik, the political director for Russell Simmons, who was a panelist at "No One Winds the War: Girls and Gangs," one of the many panels the girls attended.
Sevena Washington, 17, a senior at Henry Snyder High School, helped plan the conference, which was sponsored by The New Jersey Governor's Justice and Delinquency Prevention Committee.
Her message?
"To stand up, and stand out, and hold your head up high at all times," she said.

LEWISTON – Cannon fire will thunder across the lower Niagara River against a background of dramatic martial music and fireworks in the world's largest binational observance of the War of 1812, beginning at 7 p.m. Friday in the park on North Water Street in Lewiston.
The largest battery of 1812-period artillery ever assembled will "bombard" Canada in a nighttime cannonade commemorating the Oct. 13, 1812, Battle of Queenston Heights – one of the earliest and bloodiest battles of the War of 1812 between American troops and British troops.
Hundreds of re-enactors from across the United States and Canada will assemble at the launch site of the American assault on Queenston Heights and will participate in a variety of dramatic programs through the weekend.
The bombardment and weekend programs are free and open to the public. Visitors are urged to use the Fourth Street parking lot at Artpark and take free shuttles back and forth to the re- enactment on the riverfront. Shuttle service begins at 5 p.m. Friday.
"The Canadians have had Queenston re-enactments in the past, and will have them in the future, but this is a once-in-a-lifetime, binational event with American participation that won't be replicated for another 100 years," said Bruce Sutherland, president of the Historical Association of Lewiston.
Lee Simonson, volunteer director of the re-enactment on the U.S. side, said five cannons will be fired simultaneously Friday evening and again Saturday afternoon in an exhibition that will be coordinated with a similar display in Canada.
Friday's half-hour program will conclude with the six-minute playing of the rousing 1812 Overture, often associated with the War of 1812 but actually composed by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky to depict Napoleon's retreat from Russia in 1812 – not America's battles with the British.
The War of 1812 was a U.S. reaction to the British seizure of U.S. ships trading with France during the Napoleonic war. The British seized 4,000 naturalized U.S. sailors and armed Native Americans, who raided the western border of the relatively new nation.
Historians say the U.S. never intended to conquer territory in neighboring Canada and that the attack on Queenston Heights was a defensive move to prevent the British from occupying the high ground overlooking the border there.
<INLINENOTE>Nevertheless, the Americans quickly occupied Queenston Heights, prompting the British to dispatch brilliant military leader Major Gen. Isaac Brock to dislodge the invaders. A young American sharpshooter killed the advancing Brock with two musket balls fired into his chest, and his body lies buried at the foot of the imposing Brock monument at Queenston Heights.
Brock's successor, rallying a superior force, sent the Americans scurrying back across the river with staggering losses. Some reports say that more than 1,000 U.S. soldiers were taken prisoner in Queenston and hundreds of others were killed. Others say it was a strategic victory in which the United States came of age as a strong force determined to protect its interests on the world stage.
In the interest of safety, the cannon balls used in this weekend's demonstrations will be non-explosive duds.
Friday evening's cannonade will be preceded at 4 p.m. by an "Off to War" procession along Center Street as the cannons are manually conveyed from Academy Park to the riverfront. U.S. marines will escort re-enactors depicting then-President James Madison and his wife, Dolley, in a horse-drawn carriage during the procession.</INLINENOTE>The bombardment will be repeated at 3 p.m. Saturday from the upper parking lot and amphitheater at Artpark while a similar re-enactment takes place on the Canadian side.
Among other events scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, viewers in Lewiston will be able to see fireworks set off at 7:15 p.m. Saturday in Queenston, Ont.

Was a giant planet ejected from our solar system?
Nov 21, 2011 6 comments
A fifth giant planet was kicked out of the early solar system, according to computer simulations by a US-based planetary scientist. The sacrifice of this gas giant paved the way for the stable configuration of planets seen today, says David Nesvorný, who believes that the expulsion prevented Jupiter from migrating inwards and scattering the Earth and its fellow inner planets.
The Nice model (named after the city in France where it was devised) is currently the best explanation of why the solar system looks the way it does today. It describes how early gravitational interactions between the large outer planets and planetesimals – smaller bodies that are the building blocks of planets – would have scattered the latter throughout the solar system. This accounts for the period known as the "late heavy bombardment", the scars of which bodies such as the Moon still bear today. It also helps explain the structure of the asteroid and Kuiper belts. However, for the model to work, the planets must have started out much closer together than their present-day locations.
Working at the Southwest Research Institute in Colorado, Nesvorný set out to explain how the planets got to their current positions. "I wanted to put everything together into a single model that explains why our solar system looks the way it does," he told physicsworld.com. To do this, he performed computer simulations that varied the starting positions of the four outer planets: the gas giants Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. The planets were also given varying eccentricities – the amount their orbits deviate from being perfect circles – and different orbital inclinations. A thousand equally sized planetesimal bodies were also added. He then let the gravitational dance play out.
Dysfunctional giants
What Nesvorný found was surprising. "If you use four planets, in the majority of cases the solar system loses one," he explains. With the presence of four outer planets today, this obviously did not happen. He altered the model. "I added in more mass to the planetesimals, which could act as a gravitational glue to keep the planet [from being ejected]," he says. It did not work: in 120 four-planet simulations only three of them yielded a familiar-looking solar system. "I kept running into problems. I tried all sorts of initial conditions but still things didn't work," he adds.
Instead Nesvorný was forced to consider the presence of a fifth planet. "If you had four planets and the system was losing one, I thought of trying five planets to see if one was lost, leaving four," he explains. He then ran thousands of simulations with five planets to see what happened. By varying the total mass of the planetesimals between 10–100 Earth masses, the models presented a familiar-looking solar system at least 23% of the time – a 10-fold increase on early solar systems containing only four outer planets. "In all likelihood the outer solar system had more than four planets," he says. "One got kicked out."
This five-planet scenario also helps to explain why the Earth is still here. If Jupiter had migrated inwards, as some Jupiter-like planets have done in other solar systems, it could have hit a "danger zone" where its gravitational influence disturbed the stability of the inner planets. "Not only does Jupiter eject the fifth planet, but the interaction causes it to jump away from the danger zone," Nesvorný explains.
Solar-system specialist Craig Agnor of Queen Mary, University of London says the simulations are "excellent work" and a "possible missing piece" linking the Nice model to today's planetary configuration. "Had someone suggested this 25 years ago, it would have been somewhat outside the mainstream," he adds. "However, today there are a handful of free-floating planets that appear to have been ejected from their parent stars."
However, Agnor also warns that it "isn't a solved problem". "This is the beginning of the exploration of the idea that our planetary system was once unstable. How the planets formed and how that instability developed is something that really needs further study," he explains.
The work is described in Astrophysical Journal Letters.

Advocates for the disabled on Monday sued the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, demanding the restoration of the state's cash assistance program.
The lawsuit, filed in Commonwealth Court, was filed on behalf of three former recipients of General Assistance, which had paid $205 a month to poor disabled people. Gov. Corbett and the legislature eliminated the program in June to save $150 million a year.
In the filing, Billie Washington, the lead plaintiff, said she had been receiving General Assistance since last fall because rheumatoid arthritis and other illnesses had left her unable to continue working as a home health care attendant.

Where I stayed
The walk to the sixteen vantage points around the Falls was spectacular - but bloody hot! Lots of schoolchildren! Screeching! However, all this considered, it could not detract from just how breath-taking the Falls are - it is difficult to describe, but when you are there you get a sense of the sheer power that that beauty holds...
We walked down to the bridge and saw a couple of crazy bungee jumpers - 107m of free-falling terror just to get us in the mood for our imminent swinging of the gorge
Whilst we were silently reflecting on this (and wondering what the hell we had signed up to!) we looked across the gorge and spotted some of our group jumping into the Devil's Pool on the Zambian side where the Falls flows most fiercely! Amazing! After a pit-stop at the Falls cafe to gulp down a coke so cold it gave us brain freeze we returned to Shoestrings (our camp) and, each with her own poison, drank a couple for 'Dutch courage' before our paired up tandem gorge swings. Scheduled to be picked up at 2pm, the late arrival of our transfer at ten past only added to our anxiety and tension. Shitting ourselves, we drove to the gorge for a safety briefing. After signing our disclaimer (the point of no return) our guide informed Vikki and I that we exceeded the maximum weight limit for the tandem swing and should consider changing partners with one of the 'lighter' girls - exactly what we needed to be told to reassure us at this stage! Being only slightly over the limit (at least 10kgs) we agreed to take the risk (our prerogative - the guide had already absolved himself of all blame) and got into our harnesses for the jump. We opted to go first knowing that, mentally, it would be harder to watch others jump before us and feel the pressure of their success!
As we approached the platform cantilevering out over the gorge, the guide said 'I think you two really want to die together...!'. We chose to ignore his jibes - looked at each other (not down), inched towards the very edge of the platform, counted to three and stepped off (left foot forward)..............
................................ into an immediate stomach wrenching 70 metre plummet, freefalling with legs flailing, any potentially louder screams silenced by the speed that gravity pulls two fat birds towards the earth, and the pure shock of throwing yourself off a rock face.Thankfully the rope eventually tightened and we began to swing out across the gorge, reaching a swing distance of 95 metres horizontally.
Like a screeching / jubilant pendant we had survived, Paula was grateful a) to be alive, b) to still be wearing her bandana, c) to realise she had managed to sit on Vikki's knee as they'd tumbled to the rocks below, and d) that there were no crocodiles. Vikki was grateful a) that we had the courage to throw ourselves off, b) that the rope hadn't snapped and c) that we did it together. We both congratulated each other repeatedly, Paula saying she couldn't have done it without Vikki!!!
After we had all successfully completed our gorge swings a South African couple who were standing by after their tandem 'Zip Line' informed us that a gorge swing in SA had failed recently (the jumper didn't die but was badly injured), so we considered ourselves very lucky. Looking out over the gorge with a cold beer we relived the jump from our camcorder footage, amazing us over again, verifying that we had actually done it and banishing a disbelief born from how surreal it felt - we laughed the nervous laugh of someone on the 'edge' and allowed the post adrenalin lethargy to start seeping in. We suggested they might like to revise the weight limits...
Back at camp we showered and joined half the others on the minibus pre-booked by Alun to take us to The Boma (The Eating Place), famous for is game meats. Paula eager to try a selection of local delicacies ordered guinea fowl for starters..Ooops, Vikki's favourite bird at the minute, and one which she had had painted on her cheek by a man in the restaurant. We were dressed in African robes, Paula had a giraffe painted on her face, given Djembe drums to play during a group session after dinner and treated to African dancing and singing whilst eating ostrich skewers, eland, and warthog steaks....Vikki had a lurvely salad with a piece of old leathery fish!
After dinner we were all feeling pretty whacked and really dehydrated after the adrenalin fuelled day so we hit the sack as soon as we arrived back at Shoestrings - great day!!!

Music Monday: Max Payne 3's Painkiller by Health
The Max Payne 3 soundtrack is one of those soundtrack compilations I absolutely love and listen to often, and yet, I have never played the game. In fact, if I'm under a writing deadline for work, I find that this soundtrack motivates me like no other to crank out words of glory.
The entire soundtrack was put in the hands of a band called Health, a "noise rock band" from Los Angeles. From the first track, I was very dubious as to whether I would like it, but by the time I reached the following track, I found myself bobbing to the beat at my desk while strumming along on my laptop.
Health – Painkiller from Max Payne 3
If you aren't tapping along by 3:36, I can't help you. I also can't recommend looking into purchasing the entire soundtrack if "Painkiller" doesn't tickle your fancy. I admit that it's an acquired taste, but it's like acquiring the taste for beer or wine–it's worth it in the end.

Poll Finds Overwhelming Majorities in Lebanon Support Hezbollah, Distrust U.S.August 2, 2006
Most Lebaneseincluding majorities across all major religious groupssupport Hezbollah in its conflict with Israel and distrust the United States as a mediator, according to a recent Lebanese poll.
Palestinians also overwhelmingly support both Hezbollah and the Hamas militants who captured an Israeli soldier last month, provoking Israeli attacks on Gaza. Israelis, meanwhile, believe their military should press its attacks against Hezbollah until the militia is either destroyed or pushed back from Lebanons southern border.
Eighty-seven percent of the Lebanese back Hezbollahs response to Israeli aggression, the Beirut Center for Research and Information found in survey taken July 24-26. That included strong majorities in Lebanons four major religious groups: 96 percent of Shiites, 87 percent of Sunnis, 80 percent of Christians; and 80 percent of Druze.
The survey of 800 citizens was conducted by Lebanese pollster Abdo Saad. A press release on the centers website said the poll was conducted according to confessional and regional distribution, including the opinion of the displaced by the Israeli offensive. But it did not give a margin of error or discuss methodology.
Asked whether they believed the United States was playing the role of an honest mediator in the crisis, nine out of ten Lebanese (90%) said no. Again this response included majorities across all groups: Shiites (94%), Sunnis (92%), Druze (89%) and Christians (85%). An overwhelming majority of Lebanese (86%) also answered no to the question of whether the United States had adopted a positive stand regarding Lebanon in this war. More than eight out of ten in all groups answered in the negative.
A majority of the Lebanese polled also said they supported Hezbollahs decision to capture two Israeli soldiers to demand an exchange for prisoners held by Israel. Lebanese Shiites (96%) were the most supportive of Hezbollahs actions followed by Sunnis (73%) and Christians (55%). Only among the Druze, a sect that broke with Islam centuries ago, did less than a majority (40%) say they supported Hezbollahs action.
Slightly more than half of Lebanons population is Muslim, divided about equally between Sunnis and Shiites, according to figures cited in a 2005 U.S. State Department report on religious freedom. About 40 percent are Christian and six percent are Druze.
The July 12 cross-border attack led to a massive Israeli counterattack that has left hundreds of Lebanese dead and forced thousands to flee their homes. But most Lebanese believe that Hezbollah, which has continued to fire shells at across the border, will survive the Israeli offensive. According to the Beirut Centers poll, 63 percent of all Lebanese said that Israel would be unable to defeat Hezbollah. Majorities of Lebanese Sunnis (72 percent), Shiites (94%) and Druze (55%) agreed. Less than half of Lebanese Christians (38%), however, thought that the Israeli effort to break Hezbollah would fail.
Polls of Palestinians also show overwhelming support for the Palestinian militants who captured an Israeli solder on June 25. Over the following month an Israeli offensive has killed some 160 Palestinians in the Gaza strip and cut off much of the territorys electricity. A survey conducted July 24 by An-Najah University in the West Bank town of Nablus found that 91 percent of Palestinians supported the militants demands that the soldier only be released in exchange for prisoners held by Israel. Ninety-six percent of those polled800 Palestinians on the West Bank and 500 in Gazaalso said they had a positive opinion of Hezbollah.
Israelis also overwhelmingly back their armed forces conduct and a majority oppose any immediate halt in the offensive. According to a poll taken July 31 for the newspaper Maariv, eight in ten Israelis are satisfied or very satisfied with the performance of the Israeli military in Lebanon and seven in ten (74%) are pleased with their political leaders. Asked what the Israeli government should have done following the Qana bombing, 61 percent said continue the war uninterruptedly, according to a BBC translation of the questions. Twenty-nine percent favored a 48-hour halt to the aerial campaign and only nine percent thought Israel should stop fighting and enter negotiations.
A poll taken July 28 by the Dahuf Institute for the newspaper Yediot Aharont found that seven in ten (71%) supported using more military force in Lebanon. Asked what Israels next step should be, 48 percent said fight until Hezbollah is destroyed and 30 percent said drive the militia away from the border. Only 21 percent wanted to stop fighting and negotiate.

The Canadiens were pounded 5-1 in game five at the Bell, and although they're digging themselves a little hole, they still need just one win in the next two games, which is better than what the Sens need.
So all's well. Except for the part about scoring one measly goal in two games, with that lone marker coming after more than five periods. Goals have dried up, and when the Sens grabbed an early 2-0 lead, we were screwed.
Guys can't score anymore, and when you look at some of our forwards, you see Max, Gally, and Smith-Pelly with just one assist thus far. Young de la Rose has zero points. And a bunch of others have a feeble two points.
The pathetic power play, again firing blanks, went 0/3, while the Sens scored twice on their four. One power play goal on 19 attempts over the five games.
Maybe the power play will come together on Sunday. Or Tuesday. Just kidding.
It was all Habs for the first ten minutes of the game, but when Bobby Ryan's shot found its way through, which gave the Sens the lead on just their second shot of the game, everything changed. The Canadiens' balloon was popped, while the Sens experienced a crystal meth-like rush.
Tomas Plekanec, one of many who needs to do more, found himself on a shorthanded breakaway when it was still 2-0, and if he could've buried it, things might have been different. But he didn't. And it's cheap hindsight anyway.
A third goal was scored soon after the Plekanec chance and the game was over, even though it was still only the second period.
A couple of other red lights flicked on as this nightmarish evening unfolded, including the fourth that came from a brutal turnover by the wily old vet Andrei Markov.
It was 3-1 until that point, still a chance to make it a thriller, but the turnover and ensuing goal was a party killer if there ever was one.
All night the Canadiens, for the most part, failed to crowd the net and make life difficult for Craig Anderson, even though they outshot Ottawa 46-25. I'm going out on a limb and saying the Sens, or any team who might have watching from afar, weren't exactly mesmerized by any Montreal onslaught.
But I'm keeping the faith. They still remain in better shape than Ottawa, and if they have any character at all, they'll rebound and rid themselves of these guys, whether it's in Ottawa on Sunday or Montreal on Tuesday.
I can see it now. Sens fans on Sunday give their team a nice standing ovation after 60 minutes.
And the Habs skate off the ice and move on to round two.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) - The Western Athletic Conference has signed agreements that will give the 10-school league three guaranteed bowl berths, commissioner Karl Benson said Tuesday.
Under the agreement, the Mobile Alabama Bowl will take the WAC champion if the team is in the eastern portion of the conference. The bowl is scheduled for Dec. 20.
The conference also has a deal with the Silicon Valley Football Classic in San Jose, Calif., should the WAC champion be from the western portion. If the WAC champion is not from the western portion, the Classic can choose from bowl eligible WAC teams for the Dec. 31 game.
The third bowl, the Humanitarian Bowl in Boise, Idaho, will choose from the remaining bowl-eligible WAC teams to play the Big West Conference champion Dec. 28.

Reports of a wallaby "hopping along the A3" near Godalming on Thursday sparked a police investigation.
At around 10.20am, Surrey Police were called by a member of the public who reported seeing the animal on the northbound carriageway.
Officers launched a search for the marsupial - traditionally found in the wild in Australia and New Guinea.
So.....we're currently investigating reports of a Wallaby on the #a3 near Godalming.....we'll let you know the outcome!!— Surrey Roads Police (@SurreyRoadCops) August 28, 2014
A police spokeswoman said: "The wallaby was reportedly spotted hopping along the northbound carriageway between Milford and Godalming.
"Officers searched the area and there has been no trace.
"Enquiries are now being made locally to establish if an animal sanctuary has wallabies in its care."
Fortunately the Wallaby didn't cause any issues on the a3 and it's identity remains unknown. We're checking local farms and small holds.— Surrey Roads Police (@SurreyRoadCops) August 28, 2014
The Highways Agency said no delays had been reported in the area where the wallaby was allegedly spotted.
But this is not the first time escaped animals have been spotted roaming the Surrey countryside and causing chaos on the motorways.
An African serval, which got out of a home in West Molesey on July 25, was eventually captured the following day and reunited with its owner after sparking a large-scale police and RSPCA search.
The next day, a swan got onto the M25 near Staines before being rescued and, also in July, trailhound Jack brought traffic to a standstill when he broke free during a walk and ran onto the M23, near Horley.
There was also chaos as sheep roamed across the M25, near Godstone, in January this year.

Insider trading wrap-up: Week ended July 8, 2011 0 comments
In the week ended July 8, we recorded 767 open-market insider trades at 392 companies having a total value of $870.7 million. Transaction dollar volume was 51.7% lower than the previous week and 271.2% higher when compared to insider trading activity a year ago. Purchases accounted for 9.1% of all open-market trades last week. Our insider sell-to-buy ratio, which excludes derivative conversions and certain other types of transactions, ended the week at 9.09, up from a previous reading of 6.76. On average, a sell-to-buy ratio below 4 is considered bullish, while readings above 7 are bearish.
As we head into the Q2 earnings season, our expectations are for decent numbers overall. Guidance updates will be mixed as companies balance coping with moderating (but sill growing) final global demand with relief on the input cost side, given the recent stabilization of commodity prices on a rate-of-change basis. Investor risk appetite appears to have returned following the delay of a Greek default, with the VIX volatility index nearing its cycle low during the week. Interestingly, Portugal's sovereign downgrade went largely unnoticed until Friday's U.S. jobs numbers disappointed. We view this as a good opportunity to get some downside portfolio protection following the strong rally in the last couple of weeks.
For the 13th consecutive week, activity was the most concentrated in the Technology sector, where 199 insiders filed trades having an aggregate market value of $216.7 million. Rounding out the top three sectors were Consumer Discretionary (115 trades for $225.5 million) and Health Care (98 trades for $52.6 million). There was a large spike in activity in the Technology sector, where the number of trades filed was up 115% on the previous week.
The largest open-market transaction of the week was in AZO stock, where 2 insiders sold 282,298 shares for a total of $84.3 million. The biggest buy last week was for 750,000 shares of ETE, worth $31.6 million.Largest insider sales of the weekStocks: ETE, VHI, KKD, TEAR, EPM, KGJI, RMTI, RENT, NWK, ISCA, HCCI, RURL, GOOG, GES, LULU, UTIW, APOL, RAD, MMMBack To BlueTrader's Instablog HomePage »

Did you provided import for ArrayList and the bean?
<%@ page import="java.util.ArrayList"%>
<%@ page import="beans.UserBean"%>
Hi Peter,
Yes, I did not change the demo code, see below.
<%@ page import="java.util.ArrayList"%>
<%@ page import="beans.UserBean"%>
The user bean is ok
<jsp:useBean id="userBean" class="beans.UserBean" scope="session" />
but the following line gets tagged with an error "Undefined type: ArrayList"
<jsp:useBean id="students" type="ArrayList<beans.UserBean>" scope="session" />
Thank you for your assistance.
Is your project folder structure as per tutorial? If so please put your ZIP file and attach to next reply I will try to have look at it (you need to click "Use Advanced Editor" and bellow text editing area will be Manage Attachment options to attach ZIP of the project)
Also please let me know what IDE you use.
I attached the project I created using the given directory structure.
Here are the errors warningd I'm getting:
<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd"

Multiple annotations found at this line:
- userBean cannot be resolved
<c:if test="${error != null}">
<c:set var="error" scope="request" value="${null}"/>
The tag handler class for "c:if" (org.apache.taglibs.standard.tag.rt.core.IfTag) was not found on the Java Build Path
The tag handler class for "c:set" (org.apache.taglibs.standard.tag.rt.core.SetTag) was not found on the Java Build Path
Thanks again for your assistance.
For first I expect schema update values will fix, when tutorial was written Sun Microsystems was in charge of Java now is Oracle so that will need to change.
I will have look and post back
I was correct in regards of schema locations, you need to update web.xml and replace
<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd"
<web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd"
Given that you did project development in IDE instead of command line build as I did in original tutorial project folder structure is slightly different. Mainly the contenten of "classes" folder is moved to 'src" (you can see in attached file).
However as hard as I tried I couldn't get rid of error about
<jsp:useBean id="students" type="ArrayList<beans.UserBean>" scope="session" /> . Page imports are fine, UsrBean is found I guess since there is no error on the line above this that retrieve userBean object from session.
Can some Eclipse user have look and check attached project folder to see if he/she will be wiser why Eclipse is moaning so much?
PS: Cascading style sheets and image is missing from there, but that is not important at the moment.
Thanks Peter.
I'll check it out

Colleagues of the late Merle K. Evey remember him as a gentleman who embraced life and his profession.
Evey was a well-known attorney who was easily recognized inside the Blair County Courthouse. He died Friday at the age of 83, after an extended illness.
"If the Pennsylvania Bar Association put together the perfect idea of what a lawyer should be, he would be the mold for the whole thing," Evey's law partner James Routch said Monday.
Article Photos
Evey, who grew up in Altoona, practiced law for more than 50 years in Blair County.
"I spent 45 years working with him, and I wouldn't trade a day of it," said Routch, who joined Evey's law firm in Hollidaysburg in 1961. "He was excellent, the true embodiment of a person and a great lawyer. Merle fit in everywhere. He was conscientious, a hard worker and bounded with integrity."
Law partner J. Michael Dorezas described Evey as a perfect gentlemen who was loyal and friendly.
"I think Merle was an example of what a lawyer ought to be," Dorezas said. "He had the utmost integrity. If he told you something, you could bank on it."
Blair County Judge Jolene G. Kopriva worked with Evey when she was a young attorney, and he became a supportive mentor, something she continues to appreciate.
"He loved the law, and he loved researching it," Kopriva said.
"That was his beacon. And no matter whether it was a popular or unpopular view, the law came first."
Attorney Benjamin Levine not only worked with Evey for about 16 years but also golfed with him for more than 25 years.
"He was a gentleman's gentleman," Levine said. "He always put you first and himself last. He was that kind of a guy."
Clyde O. Black remembers joining Evey's law firm in 1965, when Evey had a very large client base.
"We were general practitioners back then. We covered every avenue of the law. This was before we had paralegals and legal assistants. We did everything ourselves, such as search titles for real estate. You had to know what you were looking for," Black said. "I looked at him as a lawyer's lawyer. His knowledge was broad, vast and very much respected."
Blair County Register/Recorder Mary Ann Bennis said Evey hired her as a paralegal for the office.
"I learned a lot through observing Mr. Evey," Bennis said. "Not only about real estate law but also about life and how to treat people. He always respected the people he worked with, and in turn, he was well-respected."
Rose Marie Bodenski, who worked 27 years for Evey's law office, said Evey was the attorney willing to meet with unscheduled clients and regularly did so when he was available.
"He was special, a very caring person," Bodenski said.
Retired Blair County Commissioner Donna Gority got to know Evey after she was elected in 1984. Evey served 23 years as the county's solicitor.
"He was always a gentleman, an old-fashioned style gentleman," Gority said. "He worked very hard to give the county the best possible legal advice he could and sometimes offered some political or philosophical advice, as well,"
Evey was also known as a storyteller who drew on personal experiences, including the two years he spent with the Army
in Germany in the mid-1950s.
"When he had time, he'd stop in, and he'd lean up against the table and start telling stories, often about being overseas," courthouse law librarian Lucy Wolf said. "He was always interesting and always pleasant, just a very nice man."
Certified public accountant Joseph Reilly said he worked more than 40 years with Evey and considered him a good friend.
"He was very honest. He reminded me of Honest Abe," Reilly said. "I sent him a lot of work. I knew I would get good results. I relied on him and depended on him."
Evey's funeral service is set for 11 a.m. Thursday at St. Mary Catholic Church, Hollidaysburg.
Family and friends will be received from 2 to 4 and 7 to 9 p.m., Wednesday at The Stevens Mortuary Inc., 1421 Eighth Ave. and from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m, Thursday at the church.

By the end of the routine, Bolton was in the figurative doghouse with the judges for what Bruno Tonioli called "the worst jive I've ever seen." He gave him just three points, while Carrie Ann Inaba gave him four and Len Goodman gave him five for a total of just 12 out of 30, a season low.
Find out what happened on Tuesday's results show – and if Bolton survived or if he was the second sent home, after David Hasselhoff.
No surprises this time – Bolton is gone. But he didn't go quietly.
"Last night, Bruno was inappropriate and disrespectful," Bolton said. "Other than that, it was a phenomenal experience."

text: The other day I was talking to a Continental Express pilot. He got all his ratings up here in NE Ohio but when it came time for him to get that ever so coveted multi time he mo,ved down to Texas for awhile as he said "multi engines are a dime a dozen down there", of course more "product", less demand, less money to rent them to get your MEI or whatever else. Now this would be back in about 93 or so, but I was wondering have things remained relatively the same or have costs caught up to those now in the NE and Midwest (if what he said wasnt fudged to begin with). (The multi stuff is 2 or 3 years down the road for me, but I figure I might as well start worrying/planning it out now.)

You normally need to register a person's death within five working days. Once you have done so, you will be given a death certificate, a Certificate for Burial or Cremation (called the 'green form') for the funeral director and form BD8 relating to the DSS and state pension. You may wish to purchase extra copies of the death certificate to satisfy bank, insurance and pension requirements. Different time limits apply in the case of stillbirth. Registration may also be delayed if the death is referred to the coroner.
Who Can Register?
It would be usual for a death to be registered by a member of the close family however it could be:
- Any relative
- Someone present at the death
- An occupant of the house/official from the hospital
- The person making the arrangements with the funeral directors
Documents and Information You Will Need
When registering a death you will need the following:
- Medical certificate of the cause of death (signed by a doctor)
And if available:
- Birth certificate
- Marriage / civil partnership certificates
- NHS Medical Card
You will need to tell the registrar:
- The person's full name at time of death
- Any names previously used, including maiden surname
- The person's date and place of birth (town and county if born in the UK and country if born abroad)
- Their last address
- Their occupation
- The full name, date of birth and occupation of a surviving spouse or civil partner
- Whether they were receiving a state pension or any other state benefit
Where to Register
To avoid delays, it is best to go to the register office in the area in which the person died. You can choose another register office, but it may take longer to get the necessary documents and this could delay the funeral arrangements.

Tommy Joseph has been in the Philadelphia Phillies organization for just short of a month. But his presence since his trade to the Phillies in the deal that sent Hunter Pence to San Francisco has already been felt.
It was said by pundits that Joseph may have been the best Phillies prospect before he ever caught a game in the organization. Those pundits were close.
In a survey conducted by the Reading Eagle of 15 sports writers and broadcasters who cover every level of the Phillies' organization, Joseph was voted as the Phillies' No. 2 minor league prospect. The Reading catcher received 155 points, and trailed just Jesse Biddle, a left-handed pitcher currently in Clearwater. This is the first time on any published list that Biddle has been named the Phillies' top prospect.
In last year's survey conducted by the Reading Eagle, Biddle was the No. 3 prospect behind pitcher Trevor May and catcher Sebastian Valle. After struggling for much of the year, May fell to sixth this year and Valle is fifth.
The list of 25 Phillies prospects contains 18 current or past Williamsport Crosscutters. Current Cutters shortstop Roman Quinn appears on the list at No. 13, and current Cutters left fielder Larry Greene Jr. is at No. 21.
Quinn has separated himself as the organization's best speed prospect in his first season of minor league baseball after being taken in the second round of the 2011 First-Year Player Draft. His .284 batting average with the Crosscutters is fourth-best on the team behind just Chris Serritella and Cameron Perkins, two players who were drafted out of college this year. The third-highest average belongs to outfielder Diego Gonzalez who was called up to Lakewood in early July.
Quinn's nine triples lead the New York-Penn League and his 27 stolen bases lead the team. His pure speed has brought about comparisons to Reds prospect Billy Hamilton, who has stolen more than 140 bases in the minor leagues this year.
Greene represents potentially the Phillies' best power-hitting prospect and maybe the most dangerous power-hitting potential since Jonathan Singleton despite having hit just two home runs this year. The supplemental first-round pick out of Georgia a year ago has shown good plate discipline and a keen understanding of the strikezone in his first season of professional baseball.
Biddle, who pitched in three games for the Crosscutters in 2010 represents one of two left-handed pitching prospects in the Top 7 of the list. Biddle was the only left-handed pitcher in the Top 10 a year ago, and in 2010, there were no left-handed pitchers in the Top 10.
The former first-round pick out of Germantown Academy, is 10-5 with a 3.10 ERA this year for Clearwater. But he's given up fewer hits than innings pitched, he's averaging 9.6 strikeouts per nine innings, and 2.75 strikeouts per walk.
The other left-hander in the Top 7 is former Crosscutter Adam Morgan who has ascended all the way to Class AA Reading this year after going 3-3 with a 2.01 ERA last year with the Crosscutters in 11 games. Morgan was a third-round pick out of Alabama a year ago and started turning heads with a 3.29 ERA in advanced Class A Clearwater this summer. Despite a 4-10 record, he allowed 20 fewer hits than innings pitched, struck out 140 in 123 innings, and has a five-to-one strikeout to walk ratio.
Since being promoted to Class AA Reading, Morgan is 3-0 with a 3.00 ERA.
What this list represents is a renewed excitement in the Phillies' minor league system since the depletion of the farm system thanks to trades to acquire the likes of Roy Halladay, Cliff Lee, Hunter Pence and Brad Lidge have been made. Phillies General Manager Ruben Amaro Jr. helped restock the system this summer with the trades of both Pence and Shane Victorino.
Two of the players received in those trades, Joseph and pitcher Ethan Martin, appeared in the Top 10. Martin, a right-handed pitcher with a very high ceiling, was ranked ninth on the prospect list.
But on top of near Major League-ready talent on the list -eight of the Top 10 are in Class AA or AAA - but there's an infusion of young talent, as well. Quinn and Greene are both just 19. Third baseman Maikel Franco (ranked 10th) is just 19. And all the way down at No. 22, Carlos Tocci is hitting .278 with a .330 on-base percentage for the Gulf Coast League Phillies as a 16-year-old.
Seriously. He's just 16.
Tocci was maybe the most sought-after international free agent signing a year ago out of Venezuela. The Phillies were able to sign the outfielder for more than $750,000.
