WebSphere consultant Roland Barcia answers questions on building Web 2.0 applications with AJAX technologies on WebSphere. He answers questions about invoking WebSphere applications from AJAX clients, which includes WebSphere Process Server, WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus, and WebSphere Application Server. Topics range from popular data transport forms (such as REST, JSON-RPC, and SOAP), tooling (such as the Eclipse AJAX Toolkit and Rational tools), or AJAX toolkits (such as the Dojo Toolkit and DWR). He also discusses how AJAX technologies integrate with IBM's SOA platforms.
Question: What are IBM's efforts to support the AJAX server side component framework?
Answer: Web 2.0 is very important to IBM®. IBM views Web 2.0 as critical piece of the service-oriented architecture (SOA) puzzle, serving as an on-ramp into the SOA enterprise. From a server side perspective, you can expect IBM to release several technologies in the coming months that allow services to be invoked by popular Web 2.0 protocols, such as REST and JSON. You can expect this technology to be used inside our WebSphere product stack. This includes products, such as WebSphere Portal, and the WebSphere Business Integration products, such as WebSphere Process Server and WebSphere Enterprise Server Bus. You can also expect to see Web 2.0 server side components in other programming languages as well, such as PHP.
Finally, you can expect Web 2.0 to become a major platform, with IBM building on top of Web 2.0 to provide enterprise level needs, such as security. Security is a big concern with AJAX-based applications. IBM is also working with the community through the Open AJAX Alliance, helping define industry standards.
Question: Which is the best AJAX toolkit to use? Can we use AJAX in WebSphere Developer Studio Client? If yes, then how?
Answer:"Best" is always dependent on your needs. I can tell you what my favorite frameworks are, but I do not know what you need. You should ask yourself the following questions:
- Do you need a JavaScript framework that provides abstractions of asynchronous invocations?
- Do you need a rich set of pre-built widgets and the ability to create your own widgets?
- Do you need a server side framework that handles marshalling of AJAX requests coming in as XML or JSON?
- Do you need a development environment to help debug your AJAX applications?
Here is a list of frameworks you can look at. Keep in mind that some of these are open source frameworks, and you have to get support from the supported communities of those frameworks.
- Dojo Toolkit
- IBM JavaServer Faces Client
- Google® Web Toolkit (build AJAX applications in the Java™ language)
- Debugging framework:
- Server side Java framework:
Also, you can expect IBM to release soon Web 2.0 functionality as listed in the prior question.
Question: Is it possible to invoke an external Web application from an activity in WebSphere Process Server as a sync call? Display this Web app to the user at that activity step in the business process, complete that activity by completing the Web app step, and move to the next step in the business process. If so, how would this be accomplished?
Answer: I believe you are asking if we support Human Tasks. The answer is yes. You can have a Web application page refresh itself to check if there is an activity using the Human Task Manager API. The steps would go something like this:
- A business process would call a Human Task component to create an activity.
- A Web page can use the Human Task API to access the activity on the queue. It is quite possible you can use some asynchronous AJAX request in the background to check every so often, making the notification appears close to real time.
- The user can then access the activity, enter the data, and move the activity to the next step (perhaps by invoking a Web service).
Here are some resources on the Human Task component of WebSphere Process Server:
- SOA programming model for implementing Web services, Part 8: Human-based Web services
- Implementing two-way interactions between a business state machine and a human task using WebSphere Process Server
- Developing business processes that use IBM WebSphere Portal and WebSphere Process Server
Question: How do you set system properties in Rational Application Developer (RAD) V6.0? However, I don't want to define the system properties in WebSphere Application Server (hereafter called Application Server).
Answer: I am unclear to what exactly you need. You want to add system properties to the JVM with the Eclipse workbench running? You can enter command parameters when starting RAD using
-vmargs. For more information, see
The Eclipse runtime options.
Do you want to set system properties for J2SE applications that you are testing? For any other JVM you launch (such as a client application), the IBM launcher (invoked by Run) allows you to configure various types of Java applications and usually has an Environment tab.
Do you want to set system properties for the WebSphere Application Server V6 Test Server? This has to be done through the WebSphere admin console because the test environment for Application Server V6 in RAD is a full WebSphere Application Server.
Question: Can you suggest an appropriate strategy for managing the security of AJAX-based request for XML data through servlets, where the application is being developed as a portlet. (This will be later addressed when the Portlet 2.0 spec is available and a resource request is available.)
Answer: To begin with, you should secure your servlets using J2EE security roles. This will allow only authenticated browsers to get in. Security in general is a tough issue with AJAX. AJAX is both new and old. As with any Web facing applications, there are a number of "old" issues you should be addressing. See the following articles on WebSphere security hardening:
- WebSphere Application Server V6 advanced security hardening - Part 1: Overview and approach to security hardening
- WebSphere Application Server V6 advanced security hardening - Part 2: Advanced security considerations
Beyond the "old", we must recognize that AJAX is a new powerful and complex technology that, while built on old ideas, when used in practice, has the potential to introduce new vulnerabilities. As such, it changes the nature of some things. For example, because people are sending more XML requests through the browser, you may likely experience the increased risk of XML threats. A solution might be an SOA appliance, such as DataPower, which specializes in XML threats. For more information on this, see Comment lines: Bill Hines: The (XML) threat is out there.
When considering Web 2.0 sites, you need to consider all of the following:
- Many hacks are possible (and have been done) using JavaScript.
- Keeping state on client raises risks - is it protected?
- Code on client raises risks - can I determine how your system works? Too much business logic in the browser can be a serious risk and expose business procedures.
- Can the browser be tricked to run evil code more easily?
- On the server, some other concerns may be:
- Exposing many fine grained services over the Internet will increase attack surface.
- SQL and XML injection to the server.
There is much unknown with AJAX and Web 2.0 as far as security, and only through time and maturity will we discover all the possible threats. For more information, see AJAX and security.
Question: Doesn't AJAX break model 2 programming and take us back to include non-presentation logic in our Web pages like the bad old days? Isn't this just another kludge to try and emulate real desktop GUI application capabilities?
Answer: The answer is "it depends". Taking a step back, let's look at Model 2, which is a J2EE programming implementation of the MVC pattern. Figure 1 below illustrates Model 2.
Figure 1. Model 2
In the J2EE Model 2 architecture, a servlet is the UI controller, responsible for getting input data, calling some back-end business logic, and then deciding what JSP to forward to. The JSP renders the page. However, there is also the notion of an application controller, sometimes implemented within the session facade layer, which controls lower level tasks to invoke, and then builds some type of response.
Similarly, consider those application controllers (or facades) exposed as Web services. Usually a Web service framework contains some front servlet that is responsible for taking in some SOAP input, marshalling the input to some back-end service, taking the response, and generating XML mark-up instead of the HTML mark-up.
AJAX gives us the opportunity to invoke services directly from the browser. If you invoke these services through some model-view-controller framework like Struts, you wind up with MVC Bloat as shown in Figure 2.
Figure 2. MVC Bloat
However, in the Web 2.0 model, some of the controller logic and rendering logic can be offset to the client (see Figure 3).
Figure 3. Web 2.0 model
In this case, your Model View frameworks, like Struts and JSF, are responsible for the initial rendering of the page, using traditional Model 2 architecture. However, from that point forward, some of the UI controller logic can be offloaded to the client.
Keep in mind that business logic and secure data should be maintained on the server. AJAX gives you the possibility for a much more scalable and stateless middle tier. However, I believe that until some of the security concerns are worked out, we may see a mix for sometime to come (see the prior security question). An SOA Appliance optimized for security, like Data Power, can probably help move towards that vision faster.
Question: I am installing WebSphere Process Server in a 4 step installation process. My IBM WebSphere Integration Developer installed fine, but as soon as the third step, which is "installation of WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment and WebSphere Process Server", I am getting an error like this in the log. I tried to manually update the wps_install.bat file so that I can get the values of WAS_SRC=%~1 and WID_TARGET_DIR=%~2, but all my efforts failed. The launchpad is failing to invoke the third step of the installation and the log file shows this error:
(Sep 16, 2006 9:06:11 AM), Install, com.ibm.wstools.CustomExec, err, Error when getting Resource Path: java.io.IOException: File does not exist: c:\software\ wpsinstall\disk5\external\WBI\extref.tmp (Sep 16, 2006 9:06:11 AM), Install, com.ibm.wstools.CustomExec, err, Error when changing permission of files: ServiceException: (error code = 399; message = "/wps_install.bat does not exist"; severity = 0) (Sep 16, 2006 9:06:11 AM), Install, com.ibm.wstools.CustomExec, err, IO Error when Execute commands: java.io.IOException: CreateProcess: /wps_install.bat C:\WID\WebSphere error=2
Answer: I would open a PMR for a problem like this and have IBM support help you. You can check Troubleshooting installations and updates to WebSphere Integration Developer. In general, I have seen similar problems when running out of disk space, not having proper permissions on the machine, or running an installation from a network install directory. In general, after the install for WebSphere Integration Developer finishes, you can run the wps_install.bat by itself.
Question: I am doing JMS pointtopoint queue messaging. I am getting the following error:

Answer: WebSphere Application Server supports many JMS providers, including the built in Service Integration Bus and WebSphere MQ. From your question, it is unclear which one you are using. See the following articles on how to configure JMS in WebSphere:
- For version 6, Service Integration Bus as your JMS provider:
- For version 6, WebSphere MQ as your JMS provider:
- For version 5:
If you are using resource references, remember to pre-qualify your JNDI lookups
Question: This is the error shown from an auto-generated .wsdl file in WebSphere Integration Developer v6.0.1:
- cvc-attribute.3: The Value "of attribute 'name' on element 'definitions' is not valid with respect to its ,'NcName'.
- cvc-datatype-valid.1.2.1: "is Not a valid value for 'NcName'.
Below is my .wsdl file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <definitions xmlns="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/" xmlns:ns="http://QuoteBusinessIntegration/com/satyam/aupl/components/ humantask/AcceptQuoteHT" xmlns:ns0="http://QuoteBusinessIntegration/com/ satyam/aupl/comonent/interfaces/ BusinessRules" xmlns:plnk="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/03/partner-link/" xmlns:tns="http://www.QuoteBusinessIntegration.process/AutoQuoteCGBS67378 /AutoQuoteCGBSArtifacts" xmlns:wsdl0="http://QuoteBusinessIntegration/com/satyam/aupl/component /interfaces/CreditScoreBridge" xmlns:wsdl1="http://QuoteBusinessIntegration/com/satyam/aupl/component /interfaces/QuoteBridge" xmlns:wsdl2="http://QuoteBusinessIntegration/com/satyam/aupl/component /interfaces/InsuredInfoBridge" xmlns:wsdl3="http://QuoteBusinessIntegration/com/satyam/aupl/process /AutoQuoteCGBSInterface" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" name="" targetNamespace="http://www.QuoteBusinessIntegration.process /AutoQuoteCGBS67378/ AutoQuoteCGBSArtifacts"> <plnk:partnerLinkType name="CreditScoreBridgePLT"> <plnk:role name="CreditScoreBridgeRole"> <plnk:portType name="wsdl0:CreditScoreBridge"/> </plnk:role> </plnk:partnerLinkType>
Answer: The definitions clause could contain the attribute name="". Either that attribute should not exist (my preference), or it must have a value.

I'm just not used to this. What if you meet a guy online, he tells you that he likes you & is interested in starting something real... and actually ENCOURAGES you to do a background check on him so that you won't be so apprehensive about the internet dating thing with him?
Questionable flag?
-Dear God,
Please send back Bob Marley. �In exchange you can have Justin Bieber.
I've tried internet dating twice. I've come way too close for comfort to 2 psychopaths. I am over online dating. There are so many freaking weirdos out there and they are just drawn to me.
Just doing my best. What more is there?
Um I am with EasyAsPie, I am done with it. The last guy I dated said the same thing, and when I did a search on a couple of sites and with the police department he was able to jusitify the minor things he had on his record, come to find out they werent so minor, but the county he lives in has a closed policy.
He turned out to be a psycho, woman hitter. NO THANK YOU NO HOW. I am either going to visit my old black book if i am ever ready to date again or vow singlehood forever.
I always do a back ground check on anyone i meet online..i have a friend that works for a lawyer so she always check for me....you can meet a psycho in person, just have to be careful in general...
TriCheryl proud mom to Kendrick (8/4/07)
Don't tell GOD how big your storm is, tell your storm how big GOD is.
I don't think it's a red flag per se, but like the pp, I would do one anyway. You just never know!
I would do the check and go from there- you know how to do the right kind of checks with your job so make sure to be thorough. I am so bad as I check out the sex offender registry, the child abuse system since I work there, and criminal history.
I don't think police stations can have closed policies due to FOIA (Freedom of information act) but they can charge you per report and per page. I would want to see the actual reports from incidents so they can't lie to you about anything.
I think it would be hilarious if a guy tried to do a check on me as I am in the computer about 5,000 times! LOL!! He would think I am a psycho woman but it is just because my name goes in the computer every single time I am in court or have contact with the police for work. Hmmm maybe that is why I am single LOL
I am done with the internet dating after my most recent encounter with the scammer, who seemed perfect if I was a fool but I always research ppl I meet in person or online.
I don't know if what he said should be a red flag I would go with your gut and be cautious, like if you decide to meet him do it in a public place.
I have this little thing that I used to do in real estate when you meet them ask to see their drivers license and tell them you need to snap a picture of it and send it to a buddy of yours and that way they know that if they do something crazy that you have already notified someone of exactly who you were with... maybe I am over paranoid but I think that is a good policy!
It is sad that the loosers that go out seeking women to scam or abuse make it hard for us at home single momma's to find a decent man online lol!!!
Ouida, you're obviously doing online dating because you have an interest. So carry it through! Do the check IF all your other qualifications on him pass. What have you got to lose?
It's simply part of online dating imo. If that's your chosen weapon, do what ya gotta do.
Donna & 10 yr old Cody
Home decor at it's funkiest...
Ouida, to me it sounds more like he wants to ease your fears and knows there are crazies out there. It wouldn't be a flag to me, but I am too trusting of people, so what do I know? :p
~ the more you know, the less you need ~
I would do the background check. I'm never sure why people assume internet dating is so dangerous, I think its just you get more involved with someone over the internet then you do in real life (moves slower normally) that is seems worse, but weirdos are everywhere, I'd be more scared of the in real life guy that i sso good at the game he can fool everyone in person.
So, do the check, see what it says. My background check wouldn't be that great but I"m a good person. I have a drunk in public arest, a dui arrest. Doesn't scream responsible, but I feel I am. I believe some folks can learn from their mistakes so it would depend what they were.
i think doing a background check right off the bat is a little weird. wouldn't you want to wait until you've decided its worth pursuing, not do the check in order to decide? i mean, like Donna said if all the other qualifications pass, and for me that means you have chemistry in person and you've known him long enough to observe any other flags. no sense paying for information you could get for free if you hang in there a little bit IMO. however I only feel this way because the background check got me nowhere positive in the past. my previous BF turned out to be a psycho abusive sexual freak and his background check was clean. all a background check will tell you is if the person was ever CAUGHT, prosecuted and sentenced for doing anything illegal, not whether they are crazy or safe.
ETA- my manic depressive alcoholic EXH has a clean background check too. so for me, they don't really mean anything.

In different role, ex-coach Mason returns to Rose Bowl
Madison — Henry Mason didn't need to tear through wrapping paper and ribbons to open his best Christmas present this year.
A return trip to the Rose Bowl doesn't fit under the family tree.
"I can remember the first two trips out there, how much fun it was, the great atmosphere," Wisconsin's former wide receivers coach said this week. "I can remember standing in the tunnel before the game thinking it doesn't get much better than that."
Mason, 54, is set to travel with the team to Los Angeles today as No. 4 UW (11-1) continues preparing to face No. 3 TCU (12-0) in the 2011 Rose Bowl.
"During preseason (camp) I let our coaches talk to the (team) about different things," UW coach Bret Bielema said. "One of the things I had Henry address before the season was the championship teams that he was on here, what separated them.
"I think to come full circle for him is really fun."
Mason's role is different this time. When UW won the 1999 and 2000 Rose Bowls, Mason was a valuable offensive assistant and key recruiter under Barry Alvarez.
More than three years after suffering a spinal-cord injury in a fall at his home, Mason serves as UW's director of football player personnel and external relations.
Part of his job is to work with the state's high school coaches, NFL player personnel officials and aid in on-campus recruiting.
"He helps me off the field with so many things," Bielema said.
Mason, who joined the UW staff after the 1994 season, was forced to quit coaching because he isn't fully recovered from the paralysis caused by the fall. He still walks slowly, with a noticeable limp.
"Without question it is a different mind-set for me this time," he said of not being on the sideline coaching.
Mason acknowledges that after UW beat Stanford in the 2000 game to become the first Big Ten team to win consecutive Rose Bowls, he anticipated the Badgers would return to Pasadena.
That it has taken this long surprised him.
"I hear people say all the time that you think you're going to get there a lot more often than you do," he said. "After the second time I don't think there was any question I thought we'd get there again.
"But the more you go the more you understand just how hard it is to get there and how things have to fall in line to get there. You certainly appreciate the times you have the opportunity to get back.
"I think our fans thought we'd be going back more often and I hear stories of them doing anything they can to get out to that game. They understand it is hard to get there. It's something you never take for granted."
UW senior tight end Lance Kendricks and senior wide receiver Isaac Anderson joined the program in 2006 and worked under Mason that first season. Kendricks, who redshirted in 2006, started out at wide receiver before moving to tight end.
Senior wide receiver David Gilreath joined the program in 2007. Assistant coach Bob Bostad handled most of the recruiting efforts with Gilreath, though Mason was also involved.
Mason didn't attempt to hide his sense of pride and satisfaction when asked about seeing those players reap the reward of returning the program to the Rose Bowl.
"I think the biggest thing when you are from Wisconsin and you recruit those type of guys," he said, "the one thing that you try to emphasize in the recruiting process is that they'll have the opportunity to go to the Rose Bowl.
"To see that come through and see these guys ready to make the trip out there, it validates what you've been saying to them. It validates the program. And it validates their decision to come here."
Mason's favorite memories of the '99 and 2000 Rose Bowls? Winning both games and having his parents there to see him working.
"They had seen every game I had ever played in high school and college," he said, adding they will not be able to make the trip this year. "And to have them out at the Rose Bowls with me coaching was fun for them and a thrill for me."
The thrills will be different this time and Mason acknowledges he still misses coaching.
"I don't think you ever get to a point where you don't miss it unless you're the one that put your hand up to get out of it in the first place," he said. "To not be coaching is a disappointment but, on the other hand . . . when I would have retired from coaching this would be the absolute perfect job.
"You're still involved in the program . . . The players are still fun.
"When I was their coach they're like your children. Now they're like my grandchildren. I can get them all wound up but the coaches are the ones who have to straighten out my work."

A Rustic Merry Christmas
My friend Jan has a lovely home with a fireplace that belongs in a mountain cabin surrounded by snow. I can only image the fire this massive rock fireplace could produce!
I've decorated Jan's home for Christmas for the past 10 years. She has said that having me in to decorate is like a Christmas gift to herself. 🙂 So sweet! Jan has a large collection of ornaments and Christmas decor that I've rotated throughout the years so that it's a bit different each year.

Simple Gift Wrap and How to Rust Your Own Jingle Bells
It's the second week of December, I haven't bought a single gift and my christmas decorations have only made it from the attic to the entry hall. And there they sit.
I've decorated 3 houses and one business for Christmas and hope…HOPE…to start on my own house this week.
Last year, by the time I wrapped my packages, it was too late to post about them. So, today's gift wrapping is brought to you by Christmas Past.
I love it when a package is really a presentation but I rarely have time to put that kind of time into my gift wrapping. Who does? I also like to use paper that's a bit outside the norm. Not your typical red and green Christmas paper.
Last year I purchased gray and white striped paper to wrap our gifts and I loved the way they turned out.
I stayed simple using twine, yarn, a few pine cones and rusty jingle bells. Continue reading
How to Easily Change Your Christmas Color Scheme for Next Year

Our Christmas Home Tour
In the past I've been known to take up to three weeks to "finish" my Christmas decorating.
Not that I decorate on a scale that should require three weeks but sometimes it takes me that long to quit tweaking and put away the boxes.
This year, I decorated before Thanksgiving and, since Thanksgiving was at my house, all the boxes were back in the attic within a few days. I have to admit, while I miss the results of the extra weeks of tweaking, I've enjoyed the freedom to be content with what was accomplished those first few days.
Welcome to our Christmas Home Tour.
So It's The Week of Christmas…Christmas Inspiration
It's the week of Christmas. How does this happened? Thanksgiving..,one blink…and it's Christmas.
In November, I liked the idea that Thanksgiving was late this year.
In December, I'm playing catch-up because Thanksgiving was late this year.
But guess what? In 2018 Thanksgiving falls on the 22nd!
While it has been crazy this month, I have manage to take a bunch of pics that I've gathered together for a last bit of holiday inspiration to help you with your Christmas decor.
And if not this year? Pin for next year! 🙂
Tutorial: How to Make a Rag Quilt Tree Skirt
Making a rag quilt anything is not a quick project. It takes a bit of time and patience but I simply adore the texture this process creates.
My first rag quilt project was a Rag Quilt Flag Pillow. I liked the results so much I decided to try it out on a tree skirt.
14 Tree Skirts to Spark Your Christmas Creativity
I made this tree skirt last year for my client Tara and it's one of my all time favorites. Probably because of the apple green velvet. There's no probably about it. You guys know how much I love velvet. Especially this time of year.
The tree skirt features the same shade of velvet we used on Tara's kitchen cafe curtains on the 2″ ruffle around the edge & ties. The 3/4″ flange is from a red & gold dot while the body of the skirt is made from a fairly heavy weight linen/canvas like fabric and lined with white cotton.
One tree skirt down, 13 more to go…

Hi. I am new here. I've been lurking for a couple of weeks, but this is my first post. I have enjoyed reading all of your posts. I am 6 weeks and 1 day. I had an early ultrasound yesterday (previous miscarriage in March), and we discovered that I am carrying twins. We were very surprised as I was not taking fertility meds or treatments, and we have only a very distant family history on husband's side. I'm still processing it but overwhelmed with joy and gratitude. My due date is 2/14/12. Just looking for others in the same situation around the same due date.
Anyone else having twins?
I am, although we have not confirmed either have a HB yet. I go back this Friday. We had 2 sacs, the larger measuring 5w5d with a yolk sac and what appeared to be a fetal pole, and a second sac that was a couple of days behind that appeared empty at this point, but they said it was too early to tell.
I took clomid this cycle after 2 losses so we weren't entirely shocked, but still shocked. Hopefully everything is looking good for us on Friday.
No, but how exciting!
DS1 August 2010, DS2 June 2012, & DD January 2016
Hi, Katie. I'm so glad that there is someone else due around the same time! We had two sacs with two placentas and yolk sacs and got to see two hearts fluttering. Both appeared to be about the same size and one heart beat was around 98 bpm and the other about 110 bpm. The doctor said that they had probably just started beating the day prior because it was still so early. I hope you get to see alot more of your babies on Friday. I'm so scared that this is just too good to be true due to my prior loss at 7 weeks. I guess with time I will become more comfortable.
I am expecting twins but mine didn't measure the same but both had heartbeats. Still I'm worried. My due date was 2/10/12 but that will be adjusted for twins into Jan. if both stick.
i am having twins also,but still didn't check for HBS !! YESTERDAY had US and see 2 sacs one measuring 5 w 4 d and the other 5w 3d ...worried until i see HBS..
do any of you remember if you hcg was off the chart? mine was 11,000 - 4wks 5days and 84hrs later it was 27,642 at 5wks 2days. my nurse finally admitted it was quit high but only an u/s would show exactly why. i dont go until next wednesday and i am just dying to know if its twins. a few bbc friends think i am having a litter, ha ha!

I'm with you serena - wanting to see heartbeats. Mine were measuring 5w5d and 5w3d. One sac appeared empty but he said that didn't mean anything yet.
Mel - my levels were not off the chart which was funny, but they were more than doubling. They were doubling every 30 hours. No wonder I feel like garbage.

Connick enjoys role as 'Idol' judge
In the past two years, Harry Connick Jr., went from an "American Idol" viewer to a mentor and now a judge.
Connick, 46, joins Keith Urban and Jennifer Lopez on the panel of judges who will help select this year's newest pop star. Randy Jackson, who has passed judgment on singers since the reality competition series started, is shifting his role to a mentor.
Connick recently chatted with reporters on the changing nature of his role on the show, which kicks off tonight at 8 on Fox.
Q What made you feel comfortable enough to agree to be a judge?
A I've always interacted with people who are a lot better than I am, whether it's in a one-on-one teaching situation or a clinic or mentorship or master class. As I got older, I started to be on the giving end of those things. I would spend a lot of time talking to kids in high school, college, even professional people about how they can improve. So I feel comfortable in that kind of environment.
Q Is it the same being a judge as being a mentor?
A When "American Idol" called a few years ago to ask me to be a mentor, it felt like a natural thing to do. And then they called me back last year to do it again and I had a great time. Then they called and asked me if I wanted to be a judge, which is different from being a mentor because you don't really have the intensity of the interaction. But you do get to share your views as you try to help them develop their talent.
Q How are you different from the other two judges?
A We're completely different. We're different brains, different personalities, different philosophies. I think what I bring is my experience as a player, as a singer and as a kind of an overall entertainer. It's like the movies I've done are different from the ones that Jennifer's done and the concerts I've played are different from Keith's.
Q As a mentor, you put a lot of emphasis on the importance of contestants understanding the meaning of the lyrics of the songs. Will that be important to you as a judge?
A Yes, that's huge. If they're going to sing a lyric, then you have to really start picking it apart. These are singers, and they need to know how to sing a song.

April 19 - May 22, 1999
Senior Projects '99
An exhibition of works by Hamilton College seniors graduating with a concentration in Fine Arts.
March 4 - April 7, 1999
Recent Acquisitions
A selection of works acquired by the Emerson Gallery since 1995 including paintings, drawings, prints and photographs by artists ranging from James McNeill Whistler and Arthur B. Davies to Jasper Johns and Kiki Smith. Most of the works have come to the collection as gifts from friends of Hamilton College, many of whom are alumni/ae, and this exhibition serves to celebrate both their generosity and the important educational resource that the Emerson Gallery's growing collections constitute for the College and for the surrounding region.
Outstanding among recent acquisitions is Whistler's The Doorway (1879-80), an etching donated to the Emerson Gallery by the Committee on the Visual Arts. Individual members of the Committee have been responsible for many other important gifts included in this exhibition. Since 1995, Sanford Ratzen, Class of 1961, has contributed several wonderful prints by Jasper Johns, including Ale Cans (1975) and the large-format The Seasons (1990). James Taylor Dunn, Class of 1936, has given paintings by Hans Moller, Adolf Dehn, and Amedee Ozenfant. Watercolors by Dorothy Shakespear have been donated by her son, Omar Pound, Class of 1951. Other works of particular interest include several drawings and watercolors dating from the mid-nineteenth century depicting the West Indies, gifts of Walter Beinecke, Reginald Marsh's watercolor, Scrapyard (1933), a bequest from Harry Yates, Class of 1925, and Burt Hasen's painting, Magnetized Window in Space (1988), a gift of the Richard Florsheim Art Fund.
January 18 - February 21, 1999
Making It Real
Making It Real is a thematic exhibition of photographic works by thirty contemporary artists, including Tina Barney, David Levinthal, Cindy Sherman and Sandy Skoglund, who explore and challenge commonly-held assumptions about photography's relation to truth by manufacturing realities for the camera. In the wake of recent technical developments in the field of image manipulation, we are increasingly compelled to question the truthfulness of photographic images. These artists make simulated reality their subject (either fabricating or appropriating fabricated subjects) and then deliberately expose their set-ups, producing photographs that are both deceptive and precise descriptions of reality. Thrusting photography's vaunted documentary powers into the realm of fiction, they raise important questions about how we understand reality at the end of the twentieth century.
November 2 - December 14, 1998
Terry Adkins: Later Coltrane
Terry Adkins, a Brooklyn-based artist who is both a sculptor and a jazz musician, creates his sculptures from found objects that range from old industrial parts to pieces of musical instruments. As he works with his materials, altering, combining, and recombining them, new forms take shape and new meanings is revealed through a process the artist calls "potential disclosure". Adkins' sculpture reflects the artist's broad interests in African American culture and history, as well as in everything from cosmology to mathematics to Eastern religious traditions, and the artist often conceives his exhibitions as integrated ensembles of works addressing a single theme.
Adkins has created the work in Later Coltrane as an homage to the great jazz saxophonist John Coltrane (1926 - 1967), whose intense and complex late music was inspired by the profound spiritual awakening he experienced in 1957. Many-layered themes of music, family, spirituality, science and history run through the works in this exhibition, along with more specific references to Coltrane's life and music. Most importantly, many of these works reveal Adkins exploring ideas of music, sound, and breath as vehicles for transcending the physical world and reaching beyond it to touch and express some larger reality. Although they are silent, the works in Later Coltrane resonate with the power of sonic vibrations past and future, or just beyond our hearing.
August 31 - October 18, 1998
Artist/Author: Contemporary Artists' Books
Organized by The American Federation of Arts. Once the exclusive province of writers and designers, the book format has become, at the end of the twentieth century, a significant medium for the artistic expression of many artists. While some artists make books as unique handmade sculptural or craft objects, many others embrace the tools of mainstream publishing, creating artists' books in multiple using the materials and reproductive technologies of commercial publishing. Artist/Author explores this approach to artists' books as it offers a rich mix of work by many of the major artists of our time.

Watch: Mary J. Blige's video for 'Each Tear,' featuring Jay Sean, frustrated children
If you're a kid in America that has dreams or ambitions to do something creative for a living, boy do we have pleasantly cheesy video for you.
Mary J. Blige's "Each Tear" has finally got an official music clip, with help from rising British singer Jay Sean. The track is culled from the R&B star Blige's latest "Stronger with Each Tear," released late last year. Oddly, it's her track "I Am" that's still rising in radio, but hey, maybe this is just a positive-message injection as the country throttles headlong into spring.
The black and white vid features lots of tears (to be expected), hand-wringing and frustration for children (OK...) and beautiful-looking artistic grown-up versions of those kids doing stuff like skateboarding and writing in their journals. Jay Sean, who is dorkily melodramatic as is, continues to adorably cross his eyebrows and show concern by clinching his fists and stuff.
To be clear, I dig the R&B/crossover tune; but if Jay Sean is taking us one step closer to a resurrected Boy Band movement, then Mary J. Blige just moved one more song toward exclusively making music exclusively for Coke commercials.
As previously reported, Blige has a busy summer ahead of her, in headlining stints with Lilith Fair and the Essence Music Festival.

FORMER STATE House Speaker John Perzel, due to go on trial for corruption charges next month, said yesterday that he is not considering a deal to plead guilty.
Perzel, 61, spoke after being surprised by the Daily News with news that three of his nine co-defendants in the case, including his brother-in-law, are set to plead guilty in Dauphin County court this week and then cooperate with state prosecutors.
The state Attorney General's Office announced yesterday that Perzel's brother-in-law, Samuel "Buzz" Stokes, 69, and two others had agreed to plead guilty to felony charges and testify.
Paul Towhey, 40, Perzel's former chief of staff, and Don McClintock, 43, who ran his campaign office, are also taking deals.

(don't forget to clear the cache if you have a cache plugin) and if the problem goes away then it will be a theme problem. Search the wordpress forums or ask the theme author for help, it has probably been experienced by another theme user before.
3. If an error shows, many times it will tell you what to do to stop the error. Make sure to read the error or note it down for later, you will be asked what the error says. It is not acceptable to say 'there is an error' and then not be able to say what the error is when you are asked.

With the adaptive learning environment, students build comprehension and fluency through highly individualized instruction.
Out of the 45 states that have adopted the Common Core, only 11 states and the District of Columbia have high school math graduation requirements that align to the new standards, says a new study. Thirteen more states are only partially aligned, leaving 22 that have yet to complete any steps to meet the graduation standards, according to the study, co-sponsored by the National School Boards Association's Center for Public Education and the nonprofit, Change the Equation.
When principal Jenny Robles learned about MIND Research Institute's ST Math® program, she was confident it would change the lives of her students. But she had no idea how happy it would make her teachers.
Educators too often treat instructional software for students like physical therapy for the injured: You get diagnosed for your specific injury, you undergo a physical therapy regimen, and one day you're healthy again.
As blended learning is implemented in more schools across the country, administrators need to consider which online programs will most effectively drive student success. DreamBox Learning utilizes Intelligent Adaptive Learning™ technology to provide differentiated instruction, maximizing the benefits of the blending learning experience. This web seminar, originally presented on February 14, 2013, addressed the future of education, the benefits of implementing blending learning, and how online programs can meet students' unique needs.
A new study found that female elementary students perform as well as their male counterparts in a series of math competitions, versus one-shot contests, refuting some previous studies that show females usually lag behind males.
In this web seminar, originally broadcast on October 4, 2012, education technology experts and practitioners from K5 schools described how they are utilizing adaptive instructional technology as part of blended learning models to individualize and differentiate math instruction in the classroom.
James Dent knew ST Math would help the students at the charter school he co-founded two years ago because he'd seen its power at other schools. But he had no idea how effective it would be with teachers.
Almost everyone I meet who deals with education technology has the same misconception about learning. We all think that the promise of technology is that students will be able to whiz through more content in a shorter period of time. With adaptive software-based instruction, there's nothing stopping 'em, right?
Classifications of blended learning, where digital content is blended with classroom instruction, often include explanatory diagrams showing the physical location and times when teachers and students use computers. These demonstrate the potential for making the use of learning resources more efficient.

I was browsing and stumbled upon a blog titled Why I Love Games. This in and of itself is an evocative question. Why does someone love games to the point of being considered a gamer? Stew on that one while I pose another question to the ever widening minds of the worlds digital youth. What is a GOOD game. What separates it from the cornicopia of failed franchises and pixelated dribble that plagues the store shelves?
To answer this, one must first consider the tastes of the consumer. They very widely from sports, strategy, and puzzles, to action, RPG, and FPS. Regardless of what your prefference is to game genre the basics remain the same throughout if you ask me. A game must be engaging. Not so much just pick up the controller and play, but to actually immerse yourself in whatever street, city, country, planet, or universe they are throwing at you. It is not so much to just be fun, that game would do well but not, in all respects, be franchise worthy. The addiction lies in the control. How much say you have over the plot, story, or play. Racing has this aspect as you are the ultimate definition of control. You take the steps to make sure you win the race. Everything from upgrades, new vehicles, or bumping the opposition off into the nearby pond. And in some racing games, blowing them up with rockets, guns or other entertaining traps.
With that though, some don't like the outright competion of racing and like to go for brain teasers, puzzles, and single player action. Series like Resident Evil draw them in and lock their zombie claws tight. Again its the immersion, the challenge, the ability to find new and hidden things that could determine wether you survive the next fight or not.
Its all prefference, and there is no one set limitation to what makes a good game other than I needs be well designed, thought out, and stimulating to the player. Graphics should be second fiddle to the actual design and concept. The one thing that seems to be universal for all games however is the character. Aside from straight puzzle games, the gamer must be inserted fully into whatever role you put forth. Valliant knight, sports legend, savior of mankind... Whatever escape from the day to day drudgery is provided it must be immersive. Letting the player don the cloak of said adventure to its fullest. Throw the TD pass, shoot the bad guy, save the world, win the race. If you can make me forget where I am with what you have put before me, then you sir and/or maddam, have made a great game.

A visit to Benidorm
Soon after lunch, we went for a drive to Benidorm. It was the other city that wasn't to far away where we are staying. It only took 40 minutes to get to Benidorm. I was surprised that there was a lot more high rise apartments in Benidorm. We parked the car close to the beach and walked to the beach. It was packed. And nearly all the people I saw were older than 70years old. ...
Beach, beach, Beach!
We went to the long sandy beach I had spotted yesterday from the tram. When we were getting ready at home, I looked at the map. It looked really simple, but it turned to not too easy. I like sandy beaches more than the rocky ones. I think it is more fun playing in the sand rather than carefully walking on the small rocks not to fall. There was a tram track right along beach. I through that it was really cool ...

I woke up from the sun shine through the window. Mum and Dad were still asleep so I went down stairs and was reading. It was only a few minutes before mum came down. It was raining for quite a long time. When it had brighten up we went for a walk to a beach. It was just the next beach from the one we went to yesterday. We had to cross the railway tracks a twice. We finally made it to the beach, I wanted to go ...
Beach, more beach

In fact, there wasn't any sandy bit. We walked along the shore until we found a nice spot to sit down. The water was sort of clear, and I saw lots of fish around the rocks. Sadly all the fish were tiny... I was expecting to see the ...
