Keeping up a tradition; Making real maple syrup
September 25, 2013 —
WAYNE COUNTY, PA — Pennsylvania's new Maple Sweetheart was crowned on Friday night at the annual fall banquet of the PA Maple Producers Council held at The Settler's Inn in Hawley. This year the statewide organization's fall banquet and two-day tour was hosted by the Northeastern Pennsylvania Maple Producers Association and included visits to maple farms and sugarhouses in Wayne, Pike and Lackawanna counties. The sap, of course, flows in the spring, but these maple producers are too busy during sap season for this kind of get-together, a mix of fun, business and of sharing their own experiences making maple syrup.
Bright and early Saturday morning, the commonwealth's new Maple Sweetheart, Tracy Robinson from Coudersport, and her alternate, Rachel Phinney from Meshoppen, proudly wearing their crowns and sashes, joined a busload of 40 to start day two of the tour at Todd and Sue Klikus' Augusta Acres Farm on Peggy Runway Road, Berlin Township.
The farm is named after Sue's grandmother, Augusta. And before heading off to inspect the sugarhouse (where the sap is boiled to the right syrupy consistency), Sue told the crowd how her grandmother "would go out to the sugar bush, where the sugar trees are, and she would build an arch with fieldstones… and she would set a two-by-four flat pan on that and build a fire underneath. She would stay out there (for as long as it took) boiling the sap."
"That's the way everybody did it back then," she added. As a youngster, she recalls going with her grandparents to different sugar bushes around their property. "I can remember eating snow with (newly made) maple syrup on it."
Earlier this year, the Klikuses put out 275 taps on the farm's maple trees—sugar maple, red maple and silver maple. It was a good year. "We got 61 gallons of syrup," Todd said. The previous year, he got only 17 gallons.
The Klikuses have been making syrup for four seasons, the first two years using three stainless steel hotel-size warming pans on a cinderblock arch, but that was before Todd got serious and built his evaporator, got the sugarhouse inspected and got his food license. He now sells some of their product to a health food store in Honesdale and to a restaurant in Narrowsburg, NY.

2013 SAG Awards Fashion: Black, Navy Blue & Neutral Gowns Dominate
As we inch closer to the Academy Awards, tons of stars celebrated themselves at the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards on Sunday night.
Jaimie Alexander of "The Last Stand" (above) was one of the few celebs who showed some skin on the red carpet in a low-cut black Marc Bouwer gown. Most opted for more conservative ensembles in black, navy blue, and other neutrals.
A handful stood out in bright colorful gowns, including Jessica Chastain and Kaley Cuoco in bright red and Lea Michele in a bright pink dress.
Jennifer Garner, whose husband Ben Affleck is earning accolades for "Argo," looked elegant in a strapless gold gown. Marion Cotillard was a show stopper in a white and turqouise Dior Couture gown.

Kyle Busch didn't know of RC's threat
Kyle Busch says he never knew of Richard Childress threat, bump of Joey Coulter was good-natured
By Kenny Bruce
Friday, June 10, 2011
Kyle Busch said he was never warned by Richard Childress about damaging RCR equipment.
LONG POND, Pa. – Kyle Busch said he has never been warned by team owner Richard Childress about contact with drivers from Richard Childress Racing, and that his contact with RCR driver Joey Coulter following last week's Camping World Truck Series race was nothing more than a congratulatory bump following their battle for fifth place.
"I guess [the bump] is what tipped him over the edge," Busch said Friday at Pocono Raceway when asked about the altercation between himself and Childress.
The veteran car owner was fined $150,0000 and placed on probation through Dec. 31 for punching Busch multiple times after the race. After reviewing the incident, NASCAR officials did not punish Busch for his actions that occurred on the cool-down lap after the race.
"I don't recall any time, face-to-face conversation – Richard didn't tell me 'if you touch another one of my cars, I'm going to come find you,'" said Busch, who is on probation from a pit-road incident that damaged RCR driver Kevin Harvick's car minutes following a crash that damaged the car of RCR's Clint Bowyer. "I don't know that that was ever said in the media, but it was never relayed to me.
"If he came to me and was so upset about it, I would have offered to fix it. I'm an owner in this sport and I know there's going to be torn up equipment sometimes."
Busch said that the incident came on the heels of a tight battle between himself and Coulter, and that "if I didn't roll out of the throttle, we both would have crashed off of Turn 4.
"But the kid knew what he was supposed to do on the last lap there. We raced each other for 18 laps," Busch said. "I was having fun with him trying to keep him back, and I thought I had it done and he got on inside on the backstretch there and pulled a slide job through [turns] 3 and 4 and kind of squeezed me up there.
"I had two options, lift and let him beat me – which was fine; we're racing for fifth in the Truck Series [and] it wasn't for a win – or crash the both of us. It wasn't necessary for any of that."
Childress said Friday that he accepted the fine from NASCAR but that he wasn't pleased that the sanctioning body did nothing to penalize Busch for damaging his team's equipment.
Busch said he has gotten a lot of support from the garage area, including "team members from the RCR camp that are my friends."
And as far as he can tell, he said, he has the respect of most of those against whom he competes each week.
"Certainly, it makes your day a l little bit easier, makes your job a little bit easier [to have that respect]," Busch said. "I've been able to have good conversations and talk to people outside the race car, at driver intros, stuff like that.
"Whether it's the case of them not being true to my face, I don't know. I can't read that. I'm not in people's minds. If you're mad at me, you'll have to tell me."
Those who intentionally live off another's labor will always want more free stuff!

Prevention is better than cure, so the saying goes. But sometimes no amount
of prevention helps and we are forced to visit those trained in the healing
arts. Like any profession, the world of medicine has its own jargon. If you
have come down with a bad case of medical jargonitis, help is near. Here is
AWAD's prescription: take this week's seven words and email me next week.

Oy. It depends on the words Anu serves up Bill. If they are those "fifteen consonant - two vowel" things then you know it will take a week to get over it.

Long ago, when a woman in labor was making little progress, sometimes a sternutant to cause sneezing would produce powerful contractions of the abdominal musculature, sometime being followed by more powerful regular contractions.
When pregnant women at term on British fighting ships at anchor had delayed onset of labor, sometimes cannons were fired, and apparently helped initiate labor. Children so born were called "sons of guns".
Many of the health spas long ago had minerals that acted as an aperient for those who suffered from constipation.
For patients who had ingested poison in a suicidal attempt, prompt administration of an emetic such as ipecac to make them vomit could be life saving.
Much can be learned about diseases of the heart and lungs by listening,called auscultation, originally by putting the ear against the chest wall. But this was inconvenient for the doctor, and unpleasant for the patient. Then it was discovered that a rod could be used to conduct sound to the doctor's ear. Later it was learned that a hollow tube worked even better.When rubber tubing became available the modern stethoscope was developed.
A doctor whose father could tell if wine casks were full, or only half full by tapping them, used this to detect when parts of the chest were filled with fluid, or solid with disease. This is called percussion.

And if more than one is mentioned in a discussion of your health the bill enlarges times the number of those words. used.$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Is "medicine" the right word to describe the healing arts? The New England Journal of Medicine, for example, restricts its focus to traditional: the use of drugs and the creation of new orifices in the body (surgery) for the purpose of altering physiological processes and bodily function or structure. There are many healing disciplines that use less invasive and (dare I say) gentler methods. Is massage therapy medicine? Is nursing care medicine?
I suggest we use the terms "health care" or "healing professions" instead of medicine when referring to the collective health professions, or when appropriate, use the specific term that describes the discipline to which you refer, e.g., nursing, physical therapy, psychology. Restrict the term medicine to the practice that only MD's and DO's are licensed to provide.

Obviously "medicine" is used as a catch-all for many things other than just the use of medications, but it still suffices most of the time as an abstract term. "Health care" can be useful to include all of the many vital ancillary services. And I do not mean "ancillary" to be a put down. The people who keep hospitals clean are just as vital as the surgeons.

I think you misunderstood my point. I realize that lumping all disciplines together is not malicious, but, given the power of language to shape thinking, I'd like to see the non-medicine disciplines acknowledged when referring to all healing professions. To say "medicine," meaning nursing, PT, counseling, etc. is a misnomer that marginalizes the non-medical professions. Medicine has been defined as the application of drugs or the creation of openings in the body, e.g. incisions, for the purpose of altering physiology, pathology or body structure and function. Keeping to this definition acknowledges that many non-medical professionals also heal.

To make a comparison, generals are a necessary part of an army, but without the sergeants and privates, they would win no wars. This is not a put-down to the enlisted men, of whom I was one.

But Bill, i think most gereral would be happy about an "underground" army-- like the french underground-- but i sometime feel that the 5 star generals in medicine--the AMA and there ilk, don't like a lot of the alternate healers.
And while medicine has made wonderful advance in the past 100 years, clean water and good sewers have done more for human health almost any other medical advance.. Semiel (sp?) was able to cut mortality in "the laying in Hospital" with clean water and washed hands..
Vacines are the most important thing-- hurrah for Pasture! He saved the wine industry, and half the world!_________________________

That's right, folks. COLORED bubbles. Super fun. Way fun. Wicked fun! At least, for us they are. We got some Zubbles in Blazing Blue and Presto Pink.
The thing about Zubbles is…well, they are colored bubbles. They are non toxic (this is a Safe Fun in the Sun event, after all!!) and non-staining. Almost magical- the color disappears when exposed to air. The kids were blowing bubbles all around me and sprayed it on my legs, my shorts and my shoes. There is not a single drop of color on anything- cool, no? They don't recommend using these bubbles at a wedding (nor would I) but oh, they are fun.
If you want to buy Zubbles you can only right now buy from their website. You will pay more for this product than other bubbles- but for the right occasion, I think it would be worth it. I've not seen anything like this before!!
Of course, like most things chatted about on This Mama Loves, if you don't want to buy it to try it, you can always enter to WIN it!

Hawaii Pacific Health and the Hawaii Medical Service Association announced Thursday a new five-year agreement that the companies say will transform Hawaii's health care industry.
This is the first health care agreement of its kind in the state.
The agreement, which begins in 2014, ties more than 50 percent of Hawaii Pacific Health's future increases to its ability to achieve or exceed standards in improving quality, mitigating rising costs, and expanding access to care.
Very few health care systems and health plans in the country have implemented similar agreements.
Hawaii Pacific Health and HMSA believe so firmly in this new model of care that they have agreed to share the savings it will create or share losses if they are unsuccessful.
HMSA will make significant investments to help Hawaii Pacific Health reach these goals.
"We are excited to enter a new era in our relationship with HMSA," said Chuck Sted, Hawai'i Pacific Health's chief executive officer. "For many years now, Hawaii Pacific Health has been transforming our care delivery model and investing in technology infrastructure so we can deliver the highest quality care in the most cost-effective way. Now with the shared vision of HMSA, we are confident that we can create a sustainable health care future for Hawaii. Coordinated health care that is patient-focused while providing exceptional service benefits everyone in Hawaii."
HMSA chief executive officer Robert P. Hiam noted, "Our new relationship with Hawaii Pacific Health defines success as a mutual effort to increase quality and reduce the rate of health cost increases. This is essential to create a more sustainable health care system for our state."
The agreement expands on the current contract between HMSA and Hawaii Pacific Health by creating a fully integrated system of delivery that rewards the hospitals and physicians for working together to achieve a single set of objectives:
- Improve Quality – The agreement invests in care measures that will result in saving more lives, reducing hospital readmissions, and improving patient safety.
- Mitigate Rising Costs – Hawaii Pacific Health will work to improve and be measured on the overall efficiency of the network. This means providing the right care in the right place at the right time.
- Expand Access to Care – Hawaii Pacific Health will work to build an infrastructure that will support more patients and provide better access to health care, including the MyHealthAdvantage online patient portal, expanding its primary care physician network, and providing more urgent care and extended-hours access to the community.
The new agreement covers Hawaii Pacific Health's physician network as well as its hospitals – Kapiolani Medical Center for Women & Children; Pali Momi Medical Center; Straub Clinic & Hospital, and Wilcox Memorial Hospital – and Kauai Medical Clinic.

Training in Senegal
|Training in [[{{#explode:Training in Senegal| |2}} {{#explode:Training in Senegal| |3}} {{#explode:Training in Senegal| |4}}]]
|Pre-service training will probably be the most intense period of your Peace Corps service, as you will need to gain the knowledge and experience necessary to successfully serve as a Volunteer in just 10 weeks. While the training period will be extremely busy, it should also be a time of excitement, discovery, and self-fulfillment. The effort and challenges of adapting to a new culture will draw on your reserves of patience and humor but will be handsomely rewarded with a sense of belonging among new friends.
|[[Image:Flag_of_{{#explode:Training in Senegal| |2}}.svg|50px|none]]}}

For information see Welcomebooks
Pre-service training is an essential part of Peace Corps service. The objective is to provide you with solid technical, language, and cross-cultural knowledge to prepare you for living and working successfully in Senegal. The training uses an experiential approach wherever possible; thus, rather than reading or hearing about Volunteer activities, you will practice, process, and evaluate actual or simulated activities.
A welcome committee led by the Peace Corps country director and the training director will meet you at the airport. The committee will help you collect your baggage, go through customs formalities, and load your baggage on rented buses.
Because trainees' baggage has occasionally been left somewhere en route, we advise you to carry essential items, toiletries, and enough clothing for three days in your carry-on
luggage. Be certain to clearly and securely label all your baggage before checking it at the airport.
After leaving the airport, you will take a two-hour bus ride to Thiès, the location of the training center. You will stay at the center for your first three days in-country, when training will focus on an orientation to living with a host family; survival classes in Wolof, a local language; safety issues; a medical orientation; language placement interviews; and "getting to know you" activities.
At the end of the fourth day, you will travel upcountry to spend two or three nights in a village with one other trainee and a Volunteer host. You will have an opportunity to talk about the Peace Corps experience with your host and experience firsthand some of the skills required to succeed as a Volunteer. When you return to the training center on the eighth day, you will discuss your upcountry experience. You will then meet your host family at the training center, who will take you home to begin the home stay program.
You will have your own room, but the furniture in the room
will be minimal, just what you need to sleep. Trainees generally consider the home stay to be the most valuable training activity. Because the families do not speak English, we strongly recommend that you acquire at least a basic understanding of French prior to arriving in Senegal, whether through adult education courses, cassette tapes, or other means.
The training week is long and demanding, so come prepared to work hard. You will start at 8 a.m. and work till 6 p.m., with breaks throughout the day. On Saturdays, you will have classes from 8 a.m. until noon, with afternoons free. In general, language classes are in the morning and technical classes in the afternoon. You will have breakfast and lunch at the training center and dinner with your host family. You will walk to and from the training center every day, but organized transportation will be provided for the first couple of weeks to give you time to become familiar with the town. Pre-service training has four components: language, technical, cross-cultural, and personal health. Safety training is integrated into all these components, but particularly the cross-cultural and medical components. To facilitate language acquisition, the primary language spoken at the training center is French, a method known as language immersion. While immersion in French is the rule at the start of training, when trainees begin to learn African languages toward the end of training, they may speak both French and local languages at the center. Cross-cultural training is both hands-on and theoretical, with sessions to help you gain insight into and appreciation of Senegalese culture. Technical training also consists of theoretical sessions in the classroom and a lot of hands-on activities. Health training is delivered by a Peace Corps medical officer. The training staff will be available for support throughout the program and will provide feedback on your progress. You must attain required competencies all four components to be sworn in as a Volunteer. The key to a successful training is effort.
Members of the Peace Corps medical staff will visit the training center at least two days a week to offer consultations and facilitate sessions on personal health care. They will also vaccinate you against the various endemic diseases in the region. If an emergency occurs when members of the medical staff are not at the center, the training center staff will contact them by phone.
During training, when you are not doing fieldwork, you will be expected to wear neat, clean, and conservative clothing. Pants, shirts (including T-shirts), skirts, and dresses are fine, but shorts are appropriate only for recreational activities (e.g., jogging or soccer). You can receive mail at the training center's post office box, but the center's telephone is for official business only. You can make calls to the United States at the post office for approximately $7 per minute. Mail will be collected from the post office once a day on workdays. You will have to pay customs taxes of about $4 to $7 for any packages, depending on the items' value. Peace Corps service is not for everyone. Training is a time for you to reevaluate your commitment to two years of service. Although training is very intense, it can also be a lot of fun. Be flexible and maintain a good sense of humor, and you will have a rewarding and enjoyable training experience.
Technical Training
Technical training prepares you to work in Senegal by building on the skills you already have and helping you develop new skills in a manner appropriate to the needs of the country. Peace Corps staff, Senegalese experts, and current Volunteers will conduct the training program. Training places great emphasis on learning how to transfer the skills you have to the community in which you will serve as a Volunteer.
Technical training will include sessions on the general economic and political environment in Senegal and strategies for working within such a framework. You will review your technical sector's goals and will meet with the Senegalese agencies and organizations that invited the Peace Corps to assist them. You will be supported and evaluated throughout the training to build the confidence and skills you need to undertake your project activities and be a productive member of your community.
Language Training
As a Peace Corps Volunteer, you will find that language skills are the key to personal and professional satisfaction during your service. These skills are critical for your job performance, they help you integrate into your community, and they can ease your personal adaptation to the new surroundings. There-fore, language training is the heart of the training program, and you must successfully meet minimum language requirements to complete training and become a Volunteer.
Senegalese instructors teach formal language classes six days a week in small groups of four to five people. Your language training will incorporate a community-based approach. In addition to classroom time, you will be given assignments to work on outside of the classroom and with your host family. The goal is to get you to a point of basic social communication skills so that you can practice and develop language skills further on your own. Prior to being sworn in as a Volunteer, you will work on strategies to continue language studies during your two years of service.
Cross-Cultural Training
As part of your pre-service training, you will live with a Senegalese host family. This experience is designed to ease your transition to life at your site. Families go through an orientation conducted by Peace Corps staff to explain the purpose of pre-service training and to assist them in helping you adapt to living in Senegal. Many Volunteers form strong and lasting friendships with their host families. Cross-cultural and community development training will help you improve your communication skills and understand your role as a facilitator of development. You will be exposed to topics such as community mobilization, conflict resolution, gender and development, nonformal and adult education strategies, and political structures.
Health Training
During pre-service training, you will be given basic medical training and information. You will be expected to practice preventive health care and to take responsibility for your own health by adhering to all medical policies. Trainees are required to attend all medical sessions. The topics include preventive health measures and minor and major medical issues that you might encounter while in Senegal. Nutrition, mental health, safety and security, setting up a safe living compound, and how to avoid HIV/AIDS and other STDs are also covered.
Safety Training
During the safety training sessions, you will learn how to adopt a lifestyle that reduces your risks at home, at work, and during your travels. You will also learn appropriate, effective strategies for coping with unwanted attention and about your individual responsibility for promoting safety throughout your service.
Additional Trainings During Volunteer Service
In its commitment to institutionalize quality training, the Peace Corps has implemented a training system that provides Volunteers with continual opportunities to examine their commitment to Peace Corps service while increasing their technical and cross-cultural skills. During your service, there are usually three training events. The titles and objectives for those trainings are as follows:
- In-service training: Provides an opportunity for Volunteers to upgrade their technical, language, and project development skills while sharing their experiences and reaffirming their commitment after having served for three to six months.
- Midterm conference (a second in-service training): Assists Volunteers in reviewing their first year, reassessing their personal and project objectives, and planning for their second year of service.
- Close of service conference: Prepares Volunteers for the future after Peace Corps service and reviews Volunteers' respective projects and personal experiences.
The number, length, and design of these trainings are adapted to country-specific needs and conditions. The key to the training system is that training events are integrated and interrelated, from the pre-departure orientation through the end of your service, and are planned, implemented, and evaluated cooperatively by the training staff, Peace Corps staff, and Volunteers.

The events of September 11 were a wake-up call to software developers the world over. Of the many large firms that held critical data or even entire data centers in the World Trade Center towers, few had timely offsite backups in place. One firm even did its offsite backup from Tower 1 into Tower 2, reasoning -- like the people who decided to only insure one tower -- that the chance of both towers vanishing was slim in the extreme. Who would have guessed such a thing could ever happen?
Once the shock of the event had passed, the implications for the work we at Pronoic Ltd. had been doing became evident. As I will go on to discuss, we had been very focussed on using Jini to build ultra-high avaliability applications for the insurance industry. Well, Sept. 11 killed the insurance sector, but brought the advantages of self-healing, distributed applications into clear focus. (For more on self-healing, distributed systems see the O'Reilly Network's interview with IBM's Robert Morris.)
Early in 2001, I wrote an article, "Jini as an Enterprise Solution," that outlined some of Pronoic's experiences in developing a simple XML application server that used Apache Tomcat, Apache Cocoon, a JavaSpace, and consequently, Jini. We called this app server Crudlet, standing for "create, retrieve, update, delete, lifecycle, exist, and template." Crudlet grew out of our need for a simple Web interface to objects in a JavaSpace. Of course, that is not enough, and the Crudlet app server grew to include a set of agents that ran independently and used Jini's lookup and discovery protocol to discover the space and perform simple functions.
Eventually, the Crudlet work turned into something we call the Corporate Operating System (COS), which I'll describe later in this article. But first, let's look at the original Crudlet. Logically, the flow went something like this. An underwriter (in our case) would enter the details of a risk they wished to shop out. We would capture the form elements, which, using our Crudlet tag library, would be parsed by Cocoon, and values then inserted into JavaBeans. These beans would fire property change events that would be picked up by a virtual Bean box that populated a primitive JavaSpace entry or entries, which would then be written to the space. Agents would race to the new entry looking for their signature flags. Herein lies the key design flaw in Crudlet 1.0: Each primitive was coupled to expected services by a series of internal flags.
See MailEntry for an example. It has a
mMailableFlag boolean that is used by the mailer service ("pat the postman") to match against. JavaSpaces only work by associative mapping; one side-effect of this is that you can't just match against an interface -- you need a publicly-accessible field to search on, since you can't instantiate an interface to make a template.
It's not such a good design pattern, since adding a new service that should act on an entry means you need to update the entry, which in most cases means flushing the system of all the old entries. During development this can happen a lot.
We were at the Jini Community Conference in Amsterdam in December 2000, arguing this very point over a few beers, when suddenly the solution became obvious. We devised a scheme whereby we use ultra-lightweight
ServiceFlag entries to notify services of the entry they need to act on. This idea quickly led us to a napkin sketch design of a system where, in the case of a
create (entry) being called, we'd write a flag into the space. This flag would be collected by a distribution service whose job it is to know what services need to scoop up this newly created entry. This distribution service would simply keep an internal hashtable of known ensemble configurations obtained on startup from an XML file. This lets whole ensembles run asynchronously and yet remain coordinated and very structured. Persistence is maintained via transactions and the JavaSpace acts as the focus of coordination.
This leads to the second issue: the Crudlet doesn't have a well-defined set of actual interfaces. This was addressed to some extent in the last build of the Crudlet and Tennis source code before the effects of Sept. 11 finally closed down the Risk2Risk project development team. However, it became rapidly evident that we needed a concise interface to the entire ensemble.
Thirdly, the XML tag library itself required urgent review, in light of the significant update to the Cocoon XML processing system (from version 1 to version 2), and the emergence of new utilities, such as JAXB and Castor, for converting Java objects to XML and back again. By embracing the new, retrofitting the old, and following good eXtreme Programming techniques, we were bound to scrap a majority of our code in favor of a new architecture.
Lastly, although Crudlet and Tennis had been open-sourced, we as developers had signed away the rights to the use of the name and as such, in combination with the realization of the many faults in the architecture, we decided to scrap it all and start again, building on what we had learned.
At the Jini nerd-off Discovery 01, held in a small hotel somewhere in Princeton, N.J., we met Dennis Reedy and Jim Clarke from Sun's professional services team. We were impressed with Dennis' presentation on their Rio project. At Dennis' invitation, Phil Blythe from Pronoic gave a presentation about Crudlet at JavaOne 2001. They huddled for a few days in a hotel room, where Dennis filled Phil's head with radical ideas.
Rio's clever idea is that you specify the services you need in a structure called an operational string. The operational string is an object graph that contains knowledge on what it takes to provision and instantiate services. You can chain operational strings together, creating graphs of inter-related services that are then delivered through the network, offering a capability that an enterprise or organization provides. Operational Strings can be created as a bunch of nested XML documents and fed into a service called a provisioning monitor.
The provisioning monitor provides a ServiceUI -- a UI that lets you load the operational string. It's neat and impresses suits and techies alike because of the funky graphics. Rio provides a structure called a CyberNode, which is like a VM with quality-of-service tags and Jini's ability to automatically link up with other services. The provisioning monitor loads the operational string (an XML file), which tells it which JiniServiceBeans (JSBs) to instantiate and allocate to the various CyberNodes. The provisioning monitor is also charged with the responsibility of watching the JSBs it has provisioned, and reprovisioning any that fall over for whatever reason. Via ServiceUI, the provisioning monitor, and in fact, any of Rio's ensemble visualization tools, you can call up a UI for any of the services running anywhere. Because CyberNodes have associated QoS information, you can intelligently route services to machines very efficiently and get all the automagic load-balancing and failover you need. JSBs take most of the work out of writing Jini services, leaving you with only the core service code. They can be persistent because the CyberNode itself is an activatable, persistent service.
The 2002 O'Reilly Emerging Technologies Conference explored how P2P and Web services are coming together in a new Internet operating system.
Rio offers additional benefits to the ensemble application developer. It provides a peer-to-peer event model, watchable objects, and resource pools such as thread pools, or connection pools. It talks to JavaSpaces nicely with its own space implementation and also provides the capability for a JSB to implement support for both RMI/JRMP and RMI/IIOP objects. JSBs contain a Servant class providing support for CORBA, using the Portable Object Adaptor (POA).
(Now, since I have never gone down the CORBA route, when I read that Rio's JSBs, and hence COS' JBSs, contain such a Servant, I figured I should find out what one is. It turns out that a Servant is a bit like a stupid Jini proxy. Calls to the CORBA objects are routed to the Servant. Anyway, for those connecting to legacy systems, Rio does it. I am so glad I have been living in a Jini world for the last two years. I skipped Cobol at university too.)
Rio also provides a tunnelling service, called Lincoln, that enables dynamic discovery of Jini Lookup Services across networks that are out of multicast range, or do not forward multicast packets.
Announcement and Request packets are tunnelled to either a remote peer that re-mulitcasts the forwarded packet using the original mulitcast group, or to a remote subnet whose router supports directed broadcasts. They've also extended Ant and the Buildtool projects to address some of the most common issues with the development of services surrounding the assembly of JAR files, which include service implementation, download, and user interface funcationality.
As if that weren't enough, Rio provides Dynamic Web Application Archive (WAR) Support. This means you can attach a WAR as an attribute, describing entry points corresponding to JSP responder types (HTML, XML, WML). This capability includes a controller servlet adhering to the MVC (Model-View-Controller) pattern, focusing on the provisioning of the WAR to the Web container, and providing the navigation to direct requests to the appropriate JSP. With this capability, JSBs can deliver Web capabilities on demand.
Rio provides the following tools:
You can download and read up on Rio at jini.org (free registration required). The project is very active and gathering quite a bit of excitement.
Rio's underlying technology provided many of the building blocks we needed to realize our design goals, which by now had been formalized as follows:
That is, enable applications that keep running with no loss or corruption of data, even despite the physical loss of one or even several of the actual computers running the application; in other words, applications that are Sept. 11-proof.
We began development of a Rio-based version of the system we had sketched out on a napkin in Amsterdam many months ago. We dubbed this system the Corporate Operating System (COS). COS builds on Rio to provide an environment where multiple ensemble applications can coexist using shared resources and operate securely in a distributed computing environment. A COS application is a named collection of clients and shared data, together with a an ensemble of services, that can be submitted to a resource provision grid for execution.
Rio goes a long way towards eliminating any single points of failure from the system, but our reliance on a JavaSpace just introduced such a problem again. Various strategies were discussed at Discovery 01, and the model we chose reflects those discussions. We built a simple, space federator JSB called Kirk whose job it is to keep two spaces in sync.
Like any good application, COS applications can be started, stopped, and removed from the environment, upgraded, and redeployed without interfering with other running applications.
This is essential for production systems and perfect for concurrency in development environments where many developers wish to run overlapping versions of the same code.
COS applications provide 100% continuity of service based on the contiguity of services running in the ensemble. A contiguous component can start and stop, and resume operation from exactly where it left off. This type of service creates a situation where each and any service can be taken off-line, upgraded, and restarted with nothing more than a performance degradation to active applications.
COS applications are specified as using an XML file that holds a named
ServiceEnsemble and a Rio operational string.
An example service ensemble is presented here.
Listing 1. COS service ensemble.
<ServiceEnsemble name="ArchiveEnsemble">
<ServiceMode id="KarenArchiveCreate"
<ServiceMode id="KirkReplicateCreate"
This describes two service modes,
KarenArchiveCreate and
KirkReplicateCreate. This, in effect, tells the distribution service that for this named application, whenever an entry is created, issue a service flag for Karen (an Archivist service that talks to a JDBC database) to read the entry from the space and run the entry's
archive() method. Also, issue a flag that instructs Kirk (a space federator that keeps two spaces in sync) to replicate that object in Kirk's replication space.
Both services only involve a read of the entry from the space, and so can run asynchronously.
COS also allows you to specify dependencies between service runs. This is useful when one service depends on the result of another; in this case, the service distribution model is extended to message-dependent services in the ensemble on the completion of all its dependencies.
COS provides a clean interface,
CosConnectable, that enforces the methods used by third-party code (i.e., the Crudlet taglib) to access any named service ensemble. It maps closely to the original Crudlet specification itself, with
lifecycle, and
exists methods. There was no need for a
T (template), however; instead, we have added a
notifyEvent() method that allows client apps to listen for remote events from the space.
The facilities for adding and removing lifecycle events, which are new to the COS system, were an idea that never really worked in the original Crudlet code.
Lifecycle events provide persistent, guaranteed service ensemble events that are not executed immediately on delegation to the COS. They are instead submitted along with a trigger condition object, which determines when and how often the ensemble event should be executed. These events are placed into the COS as service ensemble events when a matching trigger event arrives in the space.
Triggers, created by factory methods, can be of two varieties:
COS provides Ben, a reference implementation of a service that spits time triggers into the space. These can be consumed, and time-triggerable events can be deployed, much in the manner of a Unix
cron system. Indeed,
cron is a key component in a good operating system.
The state of the lifecycle service is stored in the JavaSpace, allowing multiple competing instances of the lifecycle service in scalable designs.
There is a full discussion of the COS event model on the Pronoic Web site.
Crudlet's role in all of this is simply as an XML transformation mechanism, to provide some patterns used to provide Web interfaces, and perhaps to transform incoming data. It is really just a taglib that acts as a client of the COS, in this context. Matching JDP taglibs are trivial to develop.
The COS provides reference implementations of Jini Service Beans to handle JDBC archiving (Karen), scheduling (Robin), watchmaking (Ben), distributing (Max), space federation (Kirk), cleaning/garbage-collection (Otto), and http-posting (Roger). It also provides a suite of tests and utilities.
It provides a
ClientAppInterface that enforces
disconnect(), and
isConnected() methods, and an
AbstractClientApp that provides default implementations of those methods. As such, connecting to the COS is trivially easy for a client.
A simple
CosClientApp would connect like this:
public class SimpleClient extents AbstractClientApp {
static public void main(String[] args)
System.setSecurityManager(new java.rmi.RMISecurityManager());
ClientApp app = new ClientApp();
try {
} catch (IOException ie) {
Messenger.fatal("IO exception while parsing arguments.);
try {
} catch (GeneralCosException e) {
String msg = "A general cos exception was thrown"
+" during initialisation."
+" Message = \""
Internal to the app/JSP/XSP page you can use
app.getCosConnector() to return a
CosConnectable that you use to interact with the COS.
The methods are:
I will go into the use of these in the next article, where I discuss the building, testing, deploying, and running of a simple COS application that provides peer-to-peer task allocation and tracking.

I think that Danica is doing very well in her first year in the Sprint series with a full time schedule. It is obvious that Danica seems to have adapted to the super speedways and it will take more time to get on top of the shorter tracks but has proved that she can get up on the wheel. The media also seem to put a great unecessary pressure on her the same as Joey Lagano had to go through when taking over Stewarts 20 car with JG Racing and who is now doing his best in series since media has found other people to pressure. Danica hang in there think that you are doing a great job and although easier said than done just focus on your driving and try put the media pressure aside Go Danica

Ninety-seven of these players were honored as Rolex Junior All-Americans based on their performances at the national level during the 2004.The stroke play portion of the tournament was contested on Sea Island Golf Clubâs Seaside and Plantation Courses for the first time in tournament history. The par-70 Seaside course played to 6,946 yards in the Boys Division and 6,057 yards in the Girls Division. The Plantation Courseâs par-72 layout played to 6,966 yards in the Boys Division and 6,126 yards in the Girls Division.The event consists of 36 holes of stroke play, from which the field was cut to the top 32 boys and 32 girls. Match play then determines the champion in each division. The Seaside Course is playing host to the final three rounds of match play.Lee overcame a back-nine charge by Bradenton, Fla., native Arnond Vongvanij to claim victory in his semifinal match, 2-up. Lee was 3-up through 12 holes when Vongvanij made three straight birdies to tie the match. However, Lee won the final two holes to advance to the championship match.âI was just playing for par and Arnond birdied three holes in a row,â Lee said. âI just hope itâs windy again (Friday). I love it.âIn the other Boys Division semifinal match, May defeated Jordan Cox of Redwood City, Calif., 4 and 3.âI played better than I did in the morning match,â May said. âI feel good about my game right now. Everything has gone very well this week and weâll see what happens (Friday).âIn the Girls Division, Lendl advanced to the championship match by defeating Nannette Hill of Pelham Manor, N.Y., 3 and 2.âI played pretty well today,â Lendl said. âIt was really tough out there, and I didnât make many putts in the morning match. But, this afternoon, I drained everything.âFirst-team Rolex Junior All-Americans Granada and Pressel will resume their semifinal match Friday morning at 7:30 a.m. Pressel drained a bunker shot for birdie on the 18th hole to extend the match.

The gals are taking over South Haven! November 8th-10th is Women's Only Weekend. Groups of gal pals will hit the shops, restaurants, and local attractions in downtown South Haven to enjoy each others company and be entertained. Guest blogger Lisa Shanley gives us the scoop on this fun-filled ladies-only getaway.
If November 15th is opening day of firearm deer hunting season in Michigan and all of the Michigan men supposedly head to the woods, then it stands to reason that the women of Michigan should lay claim to an opening day in their own right. Well, they have!
Head to South Haven, Michigan on November 8th and see for yourself why over 300 women have converged here! Believe me, the excitement of opening day at South Haven's Women's Only Weekend is better than "bagging your first buck!" With over 50 activities packed into three days, it's important to establish your "base camp" early. Translation – book your room! Just like antlers, they come in all shapes and sizes. Choose from historic B&B's, family resorts, waterfront inns, or a vacation rental that will sleep all of your gal pals.
Next, you'll want to buy your "license to hunt" – also known as your Women's Only Weekend Ticket. These can be purchased online for just $60 per person. Aside from lodging and meals, this is all you'll need to get into most weekend events.
Now, comes the best part – staking out your territory! With so much going on, you and your group of gals will want to zero in on your targets early. Check the schedule on the home page of the visitors' bureau website. Whether it's shopping downtown, tasting wine, taking in classic chick flicks or just kicking back in your room with a glass of wine and a novel, this weekend is all yours so do what you want at your own pace!
With so much shopping, entertainment and fun; the "Sisterhood is Powerful" Brunch sponsored by Midwest Living Magazine is a top draw on Sunday, and is also included with the price of your ticket this year!
In the world of "Buck Pole Contests" – you know the ones where all the men proudly display their hunt side by side to see who shot the largest buck – well, we can top that too! At the end the weekend, the women with the most shopping bags will be entered into the WOW Shopping "Hall of Fame!" It might not be a Boone and Crocket big game record buck, but when you open the next credit card bill, let's compare who had the most fun. WOW, I guess we win!
Where do you like to go for a fun-filled Pure Michigan getaway with your friends?

F1 Betting: Spanish Grand Prix
My initial trading bets with Rosburg and Glock didn't really pay off, but after tracking the practice and qualifying it was clear that Rubens was going to be good in the early stages of the race. I backed him just before the race started and layed him after the first lap.
I placed bets on each of the drivers during the race, but couldn't get that much on Button as he was always looking good and the odds were always low. I took a screen shot towards the end of the race as seen above. As you can see, no matter who wins the race at this point a profit will be made.
Trading on betting exchanges can be great if you think you can predict the flow of a race or game.
Note: Never bet with any money that you are not prepared to lose. This system is a high turn over system with the aim of long term profits; it is not designed to be used for single selections. Always form your own opinion when betting and do not blindly follow tips.

Snooze Fest
Is anyone else getting bored with pre-season baseball, or is it just me? Ok, maybe not bored, so much as anxious to get the real games started. Today's 2-2 tie game after 10 innings with the Phillies and Cardinals made me want to bust out my pillow and binky for a long afternoon nap. Yawn!
Ryan Howard attempted to wake me from this slumber by hitting a home run in the 2nd inning, but alas, I was forced to go right back to totally zoning out. But I cannot watch ESPN or Comcast Sportsnet instead of listening to this game, because all these stations are talking about is college basketball and March Madness. My madness is right here and now: I am going INSANE waiting for Opening Day!
Some may have found young pitcher Carlos Carrasco's outing today quite stimulating; after all, he is sort of still in the running for the 5th starters role. But really, the race has come down to Chan Ho Park and JA Happ.
So, I just wasn't that interested in what Carrasco may do, if I am being totally honest. Then again, in case anyone else would like to know, Carrasco gave up 2 runs, 3 hits and 3 walks in 4 2/3 innings. Not super, not bad; but he did an ok job. Zzzzzzz….
Chase Utley had 2 hits in the game and a run scored, but since the game was on the radio, I could not watch him wiggle his newly surgically repaired hip as he trotted the base path. Not to mention a few other key areas…thus, SO not interesting. Even cutie Chad Durbin pitching 1 1/3 innings of hit-free ball could not rouse me. Maybe if someone had started a bench clearing brawl, then perhaps I could have snapped out of this coma? No such luck…
Dear God! 16 days left…wake me when it's over!
Dear God! 16 days left…wake me when it's over!

Jenn – I know that I am ready for the season to begin! Spring has done it to me! Play Ball already!
I'm really enjoying this spring cause the Giants have a lot of guys who are showing they are ready to move up to the bigs. We have a lot of good battles going on too. I'm still ready for the first real game though.
~ King of Cali
I'm getting pretty anxious for the regular season to start too. Spring Training is getting more like it to now that they're starting to make some comes. The competition stiffens!
Remember, patience is a virtue! (my sister was fond of repeating this whenever I wanted her to do something quickly) The regular season will be here before you know it. How on earth did that kid fall asleep mid-snack?

All must pay fair shareApril 03,2013
As the Vermont Legislature works down to the wire on its budget, I want to congratulate our Democratic and Progressive House members who, working together, have put a positive budget out that should make all Vermonters proud. Yes, there is a push and pull nationally on economic issues during this prolonged downturn. I am so proud of Gov. Shumlins efforts to work toward a single-payer health care system for all those who are not covered by either Medicare and VA benefits, which are in themselves single-payer plans.
However, it seems very questionable whether the money will be there to pay for the projected exchange rates, which seem at this point to be much higher than both Catamount and VHAP have been in the past few years. We do not need or want to have more people uninsured during this critical interim period prior to 2017 when we have been promised the opportunity to make a truly drastic change in how health care is delivered and paid for in Vermont.
Unlike John McClaughry and other conservatives who just cant wait for this whole change to fail, I am a strong supporter of universal, single-payer health care and, like most low- and moderate-income Vermonters, would like to see health care for all as a basic human right, regardless of income.
This is why it is imperative to get it right the first time. My hope is that the state Senate does not let us down and that Gov. Shumlin will back his Democratic cohorts in the lower chamber.
Yes, upper-income Vermonters need to pay their fair share as well as low-income Vermonters who are hit by some of the proposed raised sales and gas tax. However, I really dont know many folks who buy single items of clothing that cost over $100 unless they are very well heeled. We all must share the burden as we work toward a more perfect state union.
And as for a mass exodus of upper-income taxpayers, I doubt very much whether they will be forced to leave their megamansions and winter playgrounds for other greener pastures. The last time I looked, there are not too many of those left in our country or around the world.

CorpsCare is an affordable, private, comprehensive health insurance policy designed to complement the benefits provided for service-related medical problems under the PC-127C authorization and FECA. Peace Corps will explain the benefits of the policy and pay the first month's premium for all Volunteers. Peace Corps will also pay the first month's premium for each of the Volunteer's children, less than 18 years old and residing with the Volunteer when service ends. Spouses are also eligible for CorpsCare, however, the Volunteer must pay all monthly premiums for a spouse, including the first month. Before the end of their service, Volunteers will be given the opportunity to extend their CorpsCare enrollment for up to 18 months and to enroll qualified dependents.
- 1 Coverage
- 2 Eligibility
- 3 Premiums and Payment
- 4 Responsibilities
- 5 Contacting CorpsCare
- 6 Frequently Asked Questions
- 6.1 Do I have to decide to extend my policy before I leave country?
- 6.2 Do I have to extend the policy for 18 months?
- 6.3 May I use the CorpsCare policy to pay for treatment for service-related conditions while I wait for the OWCP to approve my claim?
- 6.4 If I extend my policy for several months and then receive insurance through my employer, will I be able to get a refund of the premiums I paid in advance?
- 6.5 I live outside the U.S. Will CorpsCare still cover me?
- 6.6 When I arrived home after service, I called CorpsCare to confirm they had extended my coverage and learned their records still showed me as a Volunteer. How do I ensure that I am covered?
- 6.7 My doctor's office called CorpsCare to confirm my coverage and CorpsCare referred the call to Peace Corps. Why did this happen?
- 7 External Links
CorpsCare provides coverage for non-service-related health care needs. Specifically, it covers:
- Most pre-existing conditions, including health conditions that existed prior to Volunteer service, were disclosed to the Peace Corps prior to service, and were not exacerbated by service.
- Post-service health care for health problems that developed while a Volunteer was in the U.S. but not directly engaged in Peace Corps business.
- Health problems that develop during vacations, home leave, emergency leave, or while on medevac may be covered if they are not covered by FECA.
- Health care for any non-service-related health condition that arises while CorpsCare coverage is in effect. This coverage is subject to certain exclusions described in the CorpsCare contract.
Like many insurance plans, CorpsCare strongly advises you obtain pre-certification for medical attention other than simple doctor's visits. Pre-certification of treatment and hospital stay will provide confirmation of coverage. CorpsCare requires pre-certification of medical transportation other than local ground service. Please be sure to read the policy carefully to ensure that you take advantage of the best possible service.
After your Volunteer service, you will automatically receive 31 days of CorpsCare coverage. If you need coverage for your non-Volunteer spouse or dependent children, you must supply the insurance company with their names, social security numbers, dates of birth, and gender before you close service, and pay any required premium.
The Peace Corps strongly encourages you to sign up for extended coverage before you leave country. If your CorpsCare policy lapses, you are not eligible to rejoin the plan and will have to find other insurance to cover your needs.
If you are 65 or older you may be eligible for Medicare. You may choose CorpsCare as your primary plan, but before doing so you should contact the Social Security Administration, which coordinates Medicare, to obtain a full understanding of Medicare coverage and enrollment options. If you choose Medicare as your primary coverage, your CorpsCare coverage will cease.
Premiums and Payment
Peace Corps pays the first month's premium for all Volunteers and for their dependent children under 18 who reside with them, but not for spouses or other dependent children. As of this printing, the Volunteer premium is $145 per month. The premium for a non-Volunteer spouse is $133 per month, and the premium for a dependent child is $123 per month. You may purchase up to 18 months of extended coverage. You may elect to have your premiums deducted from your readjustment allowance. If you cancel pre-purchased coverage you will receive a refund.
Alternatively, you may purchase coverage for shorter periods, such as month to month, by sending a check before the expiration of coverage or by having the premium automatically charged to a credit card. All payments for extensions of coverage must be received before the expiration of coverage.
The PCMO or the Administrative Officer in country will explain CorpsCare coverage to you before the end of your service. You are responsible for extending your coverage beyond the first month if you wish to have continued coverage. You are also responsible for enrolling your non-Volunteer spouse and your dependents who are qualified for coverage under the plan.
Contacting CorpsCare
You will receive a brochure containing an insurance card and a summary of the CorpsCare contract benefits before you end your service. These will contain the information you need to contact CorpsCare, to evaluate the policy, and to extend your coverage beyond 31 days if you so desire. If you lose these materials, you can reach CorpsCare in any of the following ways.
- To extend or confirm your coverage, call CorpsCare at 800.872.0067 or 202.872.0060. You may also fax your extension, paid by credit card, to 202.466.9064. You may e-mail questions to email@example.com.
- For Pre-Certification of emergency and non-emergency medical treatment, an explanation of medical benefits, status of your medical claim or for a U.S. physician referral, contact CorpsCare® Assistance at MNU: 1.800.605.2282 or 317.262.2132. (Collect calls accepted) Pre-certification does not guarantee benefits.
- Submit claims to: CorpsCare Claims, 1660 L Street, NW, 9th Floor, Washington, DC 20036
- You may also visit the Clements International Web site at www.clements.com/corpscare. Once in the site, click the "Health Care" button, then "CorpsCare." There is a copy of the CorpsCare policy at this site.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to decide to extend my policy before I leave country?
No. As long as you complete the extension application and submit payment within the first 31 days, you will maintain your coverage.
Do I have to extend the policy for 18 months?
No. You may extend your coverage for any number of months, from one to 18, as long as you always extend before the policy expires.
No. If OWCP denies your claim, then CorpsCare will cover your condition as it would any other non-service-related health problem.
If I extend my policy for several months and then receive insurance through my employer, will I be able to get a refund of the premiums I paid in advance?
Yes. CorpsCare will refund your premiums based on the months of coverage you paid for minus the months you have been covered by the policy.
I live outside the U.S. Will CorpsCare still cover me?
Yes. You will, however, still be responsible for pre-certifying treatment other than simple office visits.
When I arrived home after service, I called CorpsCare to confirm they had extended my coverage and learned their records still showed me as a Volunteer. How do I ensure that I am covered?
There is a three to four week delay between the date when a Volunteer's service ends and the time that date appears in the Clements International database for CorpsCare. If you call to confirm your coverage and Clements International has not yet received your end of service date, ask the Customer Service Representative to confirm the date with Peace Corps to verify the start of your coverage.
My doctor's office called CorpsCare to confirm my coverage and CorpsCare referred the call to Peace Corps. Why did this happen?
Because you have three separate but complementary health benefits as part of the post-service health benefits program, the Peace Corps and Clements International work together to ensure that returned Volunteers access the appropriate benefit. If the post-service health benefit you were seeking was service-related, it would be covered by Form PC-127C or under FECA and not by CorpsCare.
