Twin Peaks/Goose Creek
DescriptionThe Twin Peaks/Goose Creek Cooperative Wildlife Management Unit (CWMU) is the Twin Peaks CWMU with an extension to the Nevada and Idaho state-lines. Twin Peaks remains the highest elevation, around 8500 feet, now in the northwest corner elevation can reach 5300 feet. In the southwest the elevation reaches up to 7200 feet on Mountain Butte. More of Hardestry Creek is included with the extension, now Hardestry Creek ranges from 5300 feet to 7400 feet. In the north of the extension Goose Creek flows at about 5000 feet elevation. In the south Meadow Creek forms a great part of the south boundary, ranging from 5400 feet to 6000 feet. The most common elevation is 6800 feet but ranges from 5600 feet to 8500 feet with an elevation difference of 2900 feet. Fifty percent (50%) of the CWMU elevation ranges between 6700 feet and 7700 feet an elevation difference of 1000 feet.
The eastern side of the Twin Peaks/Goose Creek Cooperative Wildlife Management Unit (CWMU) is dominated by Inter-Mountain Basins Montane Sagebrush Steppe (62) land cover. The western side is dominated by Inter-Mountain Basins Big Sagebrush Shrubland (48). Particularly, on the western side are large areas of Great Basins Pinyon-Juniper Woodland (37). There are patches of Inter-Mountain Basins Semi-Desert Grassland (76) and Agriculture (114) on the western side.
One of the Twin Peaks - Goose Creek Cooperative Wildlife Mangement Unit (CWMU) nearest weather stations, GROUSE CREEK (423486), is about 9.3 km south from the south edge of the CWMU. GROUSE CREEK has forty-nine (49) years of records, 1959 - 2008. During the FALL (September, October and November) the average precipitation is 2.25 inches, but it can be as high as 4.42 inches or as low as 0.60 inch. During the 91-day FALL period, 16 days will experience greater than or equal to 0.01 inch of precipitation, 7 days of greater than or equal to 0.10 inch, or 1 day of the greater than or equal to 0.50 inch of precipitation. Snowfall during the FALL averages 3.6 inches but can be as high as 21.0 inches. FALL temperature at GROUSE CREEK averages 46.0 degrees F. but can be as high as 97.0 degrees F. or as low as -12.0 degrees F. During the FALL, 54 days will be below freezing (32 degrees F.) and 1 day above 90 degrees F. This map is provided for general reference only and does not constitute a legal hunt boundary. The Division does not guarantee access to any private or public land. Hunt unit boundaries may include private property or other excluded areas.

For Immediate Release
June 18, 2012
State Board, IEA and IFT to recognize more than 25 educators for their outstanding performance in specific content areas
Award recognition luncheon features teachers from across the state
SPRINGFIELD – The Illinois State Board of Education, along with the Illinois Education Association and the Illinois Federation of Teachers, will honor 29 educators from across the state for their outstanding achievement in a variety of subject areas during a luncheon Thursday at the Governor's Mansion in Springfield. The educators were chosen as the best in their field of expertise during the 2011-12 school year by their respective professional education organizations.
"These are teachers who go above and beyond expectations on a daily basis," said State Superintendent of Education Christopher A. Koch. "They are professionals who set a high bar for themselves and work with the best interest of their students in mind at all times. We join their colleagues and local communities in recognizing them for their excellent skills and dedication."
Thursday's event will be the second annual Exemplary Teacher Recognition Award Luncheon hosted by the State Board and the two state teacher associations.
"Teachers are classroom catalysts; the people who make sure our students are engaged and learning,'' said IEA President Cinda Klickna. "We're proud to recognize these outstanding teachers who exemplify the great work taking place in schools throughout Illinois."
Each fall, the ISBE names one teacher of the year and recognizes more than 150 educators nominated by their own district or members of their communities for outstanding service. Sixth-grade-language arts and social sciences teacher Josh Stumpenhorst was chosen as the 2012 Illinois Teacher of the Year. Mr. Stumpenhorst teaches at Lincoln Junior High School in Naperville Community School District 203. Thursday's event will honor teachers cited by their peers and leaders.
"We know teachers across Illinois do outstanding work with their students every day," said IFT President Dan Montgomery. "This event is a great way to highlight top teachers who have been recognized by the private sector and professional organizations as true experts in the areas they teach."
In addition to the teachers listed below, the Environmental Education Association of Illinois recognized Instructor (non-certified) Diane Kane as the Formal Environmental Educator of Illinois for her work in the Belvidere School District 100 and Instructor (non-certified) Dan Miller received the Association's Malcolm Swan Award for his work in Rockford Public Schools District 205.

Funding and Disbursements
Driver Education Program
105 ILCS 5/27-23 and 27-24.2 of the School Code requires each school district which maintains grades 9 through 12 to offer a driver education course which is defined as both classroom and behind-the-wheel. The state administrative rules which govern school district Driver Education programs can be accessed at Part 252 Driver Education. Both the classroom instruction part and the practice driving part of such driver education course shall be open to a resident or non-resident pupil attending a non-public school in the district wherein the course is offered and to each resident of the district who acquires or holds a currently valid driver's license during the term of the course and who is at least 15 but has not reached 21 years of age, without regard to whether any such person is enrolled in any other course offered in any school that the district operates.
Each student attending any public or non-public high school in the district must receive a passing grade in at least 8 courses during the previous 2 semesters prior to enrolling in a driver education course, or the student shall not be permitted to enroll in the course; provided that the local superintendent of schools (with respect to a student attending a public high school in the district) or chief school administrator (with respect to a student attending a non-public high school in the district) may waive the requirement if the superintendent or chief school administrator, as the case may be, deems it to be in the best interest of the student.
The driver education course must consist of 30 clock hours of classroom and 6 hours of behind-the-wheel training by a certified driver education instructor. The district may charge a reasonable fee, not to exceed $250, unless the district has received an approved waiver from the Illinois State Board of Education. If a student is unable to pay for the course, the fee shall be waived per 105 ILCS 5/27-23.
Driver Education reimbursement for school districts is formula driven and is calculated annually by the State Board of Education, Funding and Disbursement Services Division. Per PA 94-0440 signed into law on August 4, 2005 payments are distributed quarterly and calculated based on the number of students each school district reports to the State Board who have completed classroom and behind the wheel from July 1 to June 30 of each year. ISBE reimburses districts for up to one pass or two attempts of classroom instruction and one pass or two attempts of behind-the-wheel instruction with behind-the-wheel instruction being reimbursed at a higher rate than classroom instruction.
The base reimbursement amount shall be a weighted calculation by dividing the total state appropriation each year by:
- the number of classroom students times .2, and
- the number of students completing behind-the-wheel training times .8.

UN adopts treaty to regulate arms tradeBy EDITH M. LEDERER
THE Associated Press | April 03,2013AP FILE PHOTO
The flags of member nations fly outside the General Assembly building at the United Nations headquarters in New York. The U.N. General Assembly overwhelmingly approved the first U.N. treaty regulating the multibillion-dollar international arms trade Tuesday.UNITED NATIONS The U.N. General Assembly overwhelmingly approved the first U.N. treaty regulating the multibillion-dollar international arms trade, a goal sought for over a decade to try to keep illicit weapons out of the hands of terrorists, insurgent fighters and organized crime.
The resolution adopting the landmark treaty was approved by a vote of 154 to 3 with 23 abstentions. As the numbers appeared on the electronic board, loud cheers filled the assembly chamber.
This is an historic day and a major achievement for the United Nations, British Foreign Secretary William Hague said. The world wanted this treaty and would not be thwarted by the few who sought to prevent the introduction of robust, effective and legally-binding controls on the international trade in weapons.
What impact the treaty will have in reining in the estimated $60 billion global arms trade, however, remains to be seen.
The treaty will take effect soon after 50 countries ratify it and a lot will depend on which countries ratify and which dont, and how stringently it is implemented.
Britain and a small group of treaty supporters sought a vote in the 193-member world body after Iran, North Korea and Syria blocked its adoption by consensus at a negotiating conference last Thursday. The three countries voted no on Tuesdays resolution while Russia and China, both major arms exporters, abstained.
Many countries, including the United States, which voted for the treaty, control arms exports. But there has never been an international treaty regulating the global arms trade.
Australian Ambassador Peter Woolcott, who chaired the negotiations, said the treaty will make an important difference by reducing human suffering and saving lives.
We owe it to those millions often the most vulnerable in society whose lives have been overshadowed by the irresponsible and illicit international trade in arms, he told the assembly just before the vote.
But the three treaty opponents and many countries that abstained complained that the treaty has too many loopholes and can be easily politicized. Their key arguments include that the treaty favors exporters like the United States over importers who need arms for self-defense and doesnt include a provision banning sales to armed groups.
The treaty will not control the domestic use of weapons in any country, but it will require countries that ratify it to establish national regulations to control the transfer of conventional arms, parts and components and to regulate arms brokers.
It covers battle tanks, armored combat vehicles, large-caliber artillery systems, combat aircraft, attack helicopters, warships, missiles and missile launchers, and small arms and light weapons. A phrase stating that this list was at a minimum was dropped, according to diplomats, at the insistence of the United States. Supporters complained that this limited the treatys scope.
The treaty prohibits states that ratify it from transferring conventional weapons if they violate arms embargoes or if they promote acts of genocide, crimes against humanity or war crimes. It also prohibits the export of conventional arms if they could be used in attacks on civilians or civilian buildings such as schools and hospitals.
In considering whether to authorize the export of arms, the treaty says a country must evaluate whether the weapon would be used to violate international human rights or humanitarian laws or be used by terrorists or organized crime. They must also determine whether the weapons transfer would contribute to or undermine peace and security.
The treaty also requires parties to the treaty to take measures to prevent the diversion of conventional weapons to the illicit market.
Ammunition was been a key issue in negotiations, with some countries pressing for the same controls on ammunition sales as arms, but the U.S. and others opposed such tough restrictions.
The final text calls for each country that ratifies the treaty to establish regulations for the export of ammunition fired, launched or delivered by the weapons covered by the convention.
The United Nations by long tradition has required treaties and final documents for major conferences to be adopted by consensus, though there have been exceptions. The United States insisted on consensus approval for an Arms Trade Treaty.
Hopes of reaching agreement were dashed last July when the U.S. said it needed more time to consider the proposed accord a move quickly backed by Russia and China. In December, the General Assembly decided to hold a final conference and set last Thursday as the deadline for agreement.
This time, the United States supported the final text, but Iran, North Korea and Syria used the U.S. consensus requirement to block adoption of the treaty. There was a provision, however, that enabled U.N. members to go to the assembly for a vote if consensus wasnt reached.MORE IN Wire NewsCHARLESTON, S.C. Full Story

Letters to the Hill
Financial Services Roundtable
April 16, 2002
Honorable Michael G. Oxley
Dear Chairman Oxley:
In recent days you and members of your committee received various communications from the Financial Services Roundtable on the deposit insurance reform bill pending before you. As you know, the Roundtable has a diverse membership and is presently headed by the CEO of State Farm Insurance Company, a direct and recent competitor to thousands of community financial institutions.
The Roundtable is in opposition to the key elements of deposit insurance reform contained in H.R. 3717. They oppose small and steady pricing for the federal deposit insurance products they offer. They oppose increases in coverage levels-although their members are exploiting the system with Citigroup's Salomon Smith Barney offering individual coverage levels of $1,000,000. They advocate continuing the premium-free ride until bank failures and their deposit inflows have weakened the fund. Salomon Smith Barney and Merrill Lynch alone have brought $77 billion under the FDIC-BIF without premium payment. We urge you to reject the Roundtable's approach as bad public policy.
We feel that the most important question before your committee is whether the FDIC will be strengthened or whether the FDIC federal deposit insurance product will be allowed to continue to wither away, taking consumer confidence in our financial system along with it.
The Financial Services Roundtable has also forwarded material to the committee based on faulty assumptions and questionable analysis designed to mislead and frighten bankers.
Just as President Roosevelt and the big bank lobby were wrong in opposing federal deposit insurance in 1933, the big bank lobby, Chairman Greenspan and Secretary O'Neill are wrong in opposing key elements of H.R. 3717 today. For whatever reasons, they are happy to see the FDIC, a regulatory competitor, continue to wither away.
Thank you for your ongoing support of comprehensive and balanced deposit insurance reform legislation. Our rebuttal of the Financial Services Roundtable's computation of industry premiums costs of H.R. 3717 follows.
Rebuttal of Financial Services Roundtable
1. FSR assumption: The FDIC will set the designated reserve ratio (DRR) at 1.40 percent.
Rebuttal: The reserve ratio can only be set at 1.40 if the FDIC justifies it through a notice and comment rulemaking.1 A much more likely assumption is that the FDIC, if it is accorded the 1.15 - 1.40 % range in HR 3717, will seek to maintain the designated reserve ratio at 1.25 percent. As Chairman Powell noted in a recent speech:
"I know that some banks are very concerned about the costs of the FDIC's reform proposals. I can tell you that in many cases their fears are being generated by unfounded assumptions about how the new system would work. For example, I've heard some bankers say that they believe if the FDIC had greater discretion to manage the funds, it would simply set the target at the highest possible level and peg the fund ratio there. This is ridiculous. Nothing in the FDIC's history suggests we would do that."
The FSR's assumption that the FDIC will set the designated reserve ratio at 1.40% accounts for more than half of the FSR's premium cost estimates.
2. FSR assumption: The FDIC estimate of a 13.6 basis point "cost" of proposed coverage increases equates to 13.6 basis point premium.
Rebuttal: The FDIC's estimate of 13.6 basis points is not a premium cost estimate, it is an estimate of the dilution of the reserve ratio due to coverage increases provided for in the bill (the estimate includes both Day 1 dilution due to the newly insured status of existing deposits, and potential future dilution as a result of new deposits attracted to the system). A 13.6 basis point dilution of the reserve ratio does not equate to a $0.136 premium increase. The reserve ratio is computed based on estimated insured deposits, a lower number than the assessment base, which is total domestic deposits. Thus, every $.01 premium charge results in an increase in the BIF reserve ratio of 1.5 basis points. Accordingly, a 3 basis point drop in the BIF reserve ratio below 1.25% can be made up with a $.02 premium.
3. FSR assumption: The FDIC estimate of 13.6 basis point dilution of the fund would have to be made up by a one-time premium increase.
Rebuttal: The FDIC estimate includes existing deposits that become insured due to the higher coverage levels. It also includes new deposits attracted into the system because of the coverage increase. New deposits attracted into the system will occur over time, not instantaneously. Accordingly, it is erroneous to assume there will be a one-time charge for these new deposits.
In fact, the reserve ratio of the combined BIF/SAIF is 1.29%. The FDIC estimates the immediate dilution of the reserve ratio due to the newly insured status of existing deposits would be 8.4 basis points (4.4 basis points for the general coverage and retirement account increases and 4 basis points for the municipal deposits coverage increase), bringing the reserve ratio down to just below 1.21%. To restore the reserve ratio to 1.25% would require $1.4 billion, or a 3.1 cent ($.031) premium, far lower than FSR estimates. (This assumes the FDIC will set the new designated reserve ratio at 1.25% after the bill's passage. It could be set lower.)
4. FSR assumption: The FDIC will assess a high one-time premium to capitalize the fund at the designated reserve ratio.
Rebuttal: The bill anticipates that the FDIC will set a small, steady premium. The bill specifically anticipates that the reserve ratio will float within a range. And the FDIC is directed to set premiums to avoid wide swings. In fact, the 4/16/02 manager's amendment establishes a rate of 1 basis point (1 cent) for the highest rated banks. Moreover, other factors besides paid-in premiums impact the reserve ratio, so premium income alone is not necessary to maintain the DRR. The fund reserves will earn in excess of $1 billion in investment income each year, which accrue to the benefit of the reserve ratio.
Kenneth A. Guenther
cc: Chairman Bachus
1 Under the bill, when setting the designated reserve ratio, the FDIC must take into account such factors as the risk of loss to the insurance fund, including historic and potential losses; the economic conditions affecting depository institutions to prevent sharp swings in the assessment rates, and any other factors the Board may deem to be appropriate.

Des Plaines school must close by August 15
The charter of the Thomas Jefferson Charter school of Des
Plaines will not be renewed and the school must discontinue
operations by August 15, the Illinois State Board of Education
said today.
In a letter sent yesterday to the schools officials,
Robert E. Schiller, State Superintendent of Education, said
Thomas Jefferson had failed to fulfill the conditions placed
on it in June by the state board for continued operation.
At its June 17 meeting, the state board renewed the Thomas
Jefferson charter for one year rather than the 5-year
renewal that was sought subject to receipt and ISBE
approval by August 1 of an accountability plan and compliance
with all special education requirements of federal law.
Since that meeting, Schiller said, the state board has provided
guidance and technical assistance to the school staff as it
prepared its accountability and special education plans. Nonetheless,
ISBE found both submissions lacking. (see
linked materials below for detailed explanation.)
The state board appreciates the hard work and effort
the school expended in offering a public school choice, but
the fact remains the accountability plan was lacking and the
compliance with federal special education law wasnt
achieved, Schiller said.
Thomas Jefferson opened its doors in the 1999-2000 school

Seminary prep school leader removed
Order says it found sufficient evidence to sustain allegations
A priest who led St. Lawrence Seminary High School in Mount Calvary has been removed from public ministry over allegations of sexual abuse more than 25 years ago in Montana.
The Rev. Dennis Druggan had been on administrative leave since the first complaint in July. The Capuchin Province of St. Joseph said a second complainant later came forward.
The order said it found sufficient evidence to sustain the allegations, so it removed Druggan as rector and president of St. Lawrence Seminary, and barred him from public ministry. The order said he'll be encouraged to live a life of prayer and penance in a suitable friary.
The Fond du Lac Reporter said no allegations have surfaced involving his time at the Wisconsin school.
Druggan does not have a listed phone number.

My ds is 9 months old. I work full time and pump two times during the day. I get an average of 12 to 14 ounces a day. Recently this has been our schedule…ds nurses first thing in the morning at around 6:30 and then eats breakfast, drinks all of the ebm I take the sitter most days and has a couple of solid food snacks during the day, nurses when we get home at 5:30, eats dinner and then nurses again before he goes to bed at 7:00 (he sleeps all night). On the weekends, he nurses on demand, which ends up being about 6 times during the day. He is growing normally and hitting all of his milestones.
In the last week or so, I have been finding that he doesn't really want to nurse well both times in the evening. He'll usually have a nursing "snack" before dinner and twice, when I could tell that he wasn't all that interested, he bit me…ow! Right before bed, he nursed again really well. That being said, here's my question. Is he trying to tell me that he is ready to give up the before dinner feeding? At 9 months, is it normal for him to start gradually nursing a little less? I would really love some guidance from some other working/pumping moms!

2009 will be a shocking year for me. I'm not going to sky dive or bungy jump, I'm too scared for that, but I still want to do something fearless. I'm ready to take this step. I'll learn to use commas correctly. To, make, my, husband, happy, so, that, he, doesn't, have, to, read, my, pieces, before, I, submit, and, so, that, I, don't, have, to, hear, his, theory, that, I'm, not, focusing.
After I take this step and, commit the fearless act taking care of the commas, I'm going to try to be more Italian. How do I do that, you may wonder, given that I was born and raised in Italy? Shouldn't I work on melting in?
Well, I feel like I'm pretty meshed in with the flow as it is. It's time to focus on my roots by eating tons of Italian food and by working on thickening my accent. No longer biscuits, but fresh Italian bread. No longer diet coke but Chinotto – I already drink red wine, so I have that one covered pretty well. I'll start baking desserts. Maybe I'll even make that tiramisu that I promised my husband ten years ago to prove that I am 100% Italian. I'll also definitely try to speak more Italian to my children on a regular basis, so that they can yell at bad drivers in Italy, when we go back to visit relatives.
In the new year, my husband has been walking around in his favorite T-shirt, which reads "Pray for me, my Wife's Italian."

Kabat & Farmer meet in final debate
La Crosse Mayoral Race
Monday night was the last chance for La Crosse voters to see the candidates for mayor square off in a debate.
Doug Farmer and Tim Kabat debated at an hour-long event on the UW-La Crosse campus. It was a very cordial debate with the candidates agreeing on many of the topics asked.
One question, however, where the two had a little bit of a tense exchange was when they were asked about neighborhood revitalization.
Kabat accused Farmer of not doing enough during his years on the city council. Farmer defended his record, saying he will make the issue one of his top priorities is elected.
"Given the opportunity when you were on the council in 2006 to fund a neighborhood revitalization program, which we created, for the Powell-Hood-Hamilton Neighborhood to build five new homes a year for 20 years, the council decided it was not a priority at that time," said Kabat.
"We have lots of houses that don't need to be demolished," said Farmer.
"(There are) lots of houses that we can do and improve very quickly. We just haven't had enough money. Let me add it," he added.
The candidates were asked if they support the proposed playbook when it comes to giving taxpayer dollars as economic incentives to businesses looking to build or expand in the city. They disagree on whether it would work.
"Projects come along everyday and you've got to still have flexibility but without any guidelines in place it's been very difficult to negotiate deals because each deal is different," said Kabat.
"The guidelines are only good until they're in someone's way and this is the exception where these guidelines don't apply and they're set aside," said Farmer.
Kabat received about 1,200 more votes than Farmer in the primary. Several of the candidates, however, have backed Farmer since then which means it could be a much closer general election on April 2.

If what you want is a quick and cheap way to monitor your heart rate while you exercise, this is the watch for you. Sadly it doesnt come with cycling option so you cant monitor your rpm on a bike. Its quick and easy to use. It isnt perfect but for the price is a perfect buy.
So far, so good. It's working, which is better than some.

Too soon to tell
By roadeagl

Still new and works fine now but cannot vouch for longer term relaibility.Easy to set up but appears you can only set alarms for one training zone at a time [maybe i'm wrong]. Chest band is thinner than my previous models and may or may not be uncomfortable after extended use.
Good Value
By Mikey
from Los Angeles, CA
Works well for a price. wrist strap has a bump at the end makes it 3 times more difficult to put it on. So I cut that part off. Chest strap snap is kinda small and has a knob that makes it difficult to put it on. And display letter is too small for my 50 year old eye. They made heart rate reading too big and rest of reading too small. Other than that it is accurate, comfortable and informative.
Good Price/ Performance, with caveats
By PJ
from Tucson, AZ
First, let me say I've used this HRM for several months before writing this review.Re: the rating, I wish they allowed 1/2 stars. I'd give this 2 1/2. This HRM is VERY accurate/ reliable when I'm on the stationary trainer, but out on the road (especially in cooler temps), readings can fluctuate wildly. Yes, all HRM's need moisture to pick up a pulse, but this unit needs A LOT to get a reading. Also, if it doesn't sense a pulse in 'X' amount of time, three dashes appear and the unit goes into a sleep mode. To get it restarted, I've had to stop, then start the stopwatch.This erratic behavior *might* be caused by my locale (power lines, etc.) but in my experience other units aren't so sensitive. The chest strap isn't terrible, but it's not the most comfortable I've every used, either.Battery replacement - I'll forewarn you that you need to be careful/ patient, and have a small screwdriver set. Battery replacement in the monitor is doable, but tricky. The chest strap isn't nearly as tricky. CR2032's in both.On the plus side, the unit has some useful (but basic by todays standards) features. I'm 'old school', so that suites me fine. Bottom line IMO is if you can get this on sale and can live with its idiosyncrasies in cool temps on the road, it's a good buy. If not, spend about double on a Sigma, among others.

Very good for the price
By TJ
from Edwardsville, Il
Needed a HRM to cycle smarter. Others prices, where way up there. I just wanted something simple that would give me readings. This does that. The watch/ wrist band gives more and is easy to read. I attached it to my handlebars so I could read it easier. It works and the price is great compared to others.
Simple and Durable
By Snowdog
from Ottawa, Canada
I just wanted to comment on potential durability.I don't have this unit. I have previous generation. I have an old Gen2 Nashbar, that I bought ~15 years ago. Many batteries over the years, and many miles. I use it for cycling/running all the time and it has never let me down. Though my strap elastic has seen better days.While others are replacing their expensive gadgets, my simple Nashbar just keeps doing it's thing.Kudos Nashbar

Flash Remoting MX enables Flash MX clients running in a browser or on a user's desktop to access and invoke methods on server-side components running in a J2EE, Cold Fusion, or .NET application server. It is an essential piece of Macromedia's toolset for creating Rich Internet Applications. These applications are deployed over the Web and provide a desktop-software-like interface to server-side application features.
This article is targeted toward J2EE developers. It requires some familiarity with Macromedia Flash and its ActionScript scripting language. Flash developers building interfaces to J2EE applications will also benefit from the information provided here.
For those unfamiliar with Flash Remoting MX, the quickest way to get started is to download evaluation versions of Flash Remoting MX, Flash MX, and the Flash MX Remoting Components from Macromedia. If you download JRun 4, Flash Remoting is included. Macromedia has done a good job of providing simple examples and introductory documentation with Flash Remoting.
Flash Remoting for J2EE depends on features in the Flash MX player, a couple of ActionScript libraries for the Flash MX player, and a Java servlet that runs in the application server. Installing the Flash Remoting Components provides the ActionScript libraries and installing Flash Remoting for J2EE provides the servlet and supporting classes that run in your application server.
Related Article:
Consuming Amazon with Flash Remoting -- Using Flash Remoting and Web Services, you can enable a responsive UI that searches and displays Amazon results. Jason Michael Perry shows you how to build the interface and manipulate the XML Web service.
The Flash MX player handles serializing and deserializing ActionScript objects to and from a proprietary binary data format called Action Message Format (AMF). AMF serialized objects are the payload of HTTP requests and responses sent between the Flash MX client and the application server.
The client-side ActionScript libraries provide the ActionScript objects that a Flash developer uses to connect to and invoke methods on components in the application server. They also provide objects that are helpful for debugging the connection.
In a J2EE application server, Flash Remoting consists of a single servlet,
flashgateway.controller.GatewayServlet, and supporting classes.
The servlet and supporting classes are commonly referred to as the "gateway."
The gateway uses introspection to locate and invoke methods on Java

ActionScript for Flash MX: The Definitive Guide
A typical lifecycle of a Flash Remoting call is:
Macromedia provides a UML sequence diagram of this lifecycle.
Flash clients may invoke methods on regular Java objects, EJBs, and servlets. In the Cold Fusion and .NET implementations, a Flash client may also invoke methods on web services proxied by Flash Remoting. In J2EE implementations, a little work is required to enable web services communication.
With the above description of Flash Remoting, we are ready to get into the details.
Because the Remoting gateway has to locate and invoke methods on classes in your application, a class loader that has access to your classes must load it. While Macromedia is somewhat vague on the issue, I strongly recommend installing Flash Remoting for your application by:
flashgateway.jar in the
flashgateway.war files installed by the Macromedia installer.
WEB-INF/web.xml file.
<display-name>Flash Remoting Servlet</display-name>
<description>Servlet-based plugin to Flash Remoting</description>
This will make the Remoting Gateway Service available at http://www.yourdomain.com/yourwebapp/gateway. All classes in your application will be visible to Flash Remoting. Because Flash Remoting is installed as a servlet, it can be installed in any J2EE application server that supports servlets 1.2+, including but not limited to Caucho Resin, Jakarta Tomcat, BEA WebLogic, IBM WebSphere, Sun One AS, ATG Dynamo, and Oracle 9iAS.
While you can directly access and invoke methods on servlets, JSPs, and EJBs with Flash Remoting, it does not mean that you should. It is important here to consider what Macromedia is doing today, what they are likely to do tomorrow, and where enterprise application development is going in general. In all of these areas, Service-Oriented Architectures feature heavily.
A Service-Oriented Architecture describes an application designed to expose a set of loosely-coupled business services that may be accessed by a range of clients to assemble application functionality. Clients may be J2EE or .NET applications or Flash clients. This architecture makes the applications providing the services flexible and scalable.
Enterprise application developers are rapidly adopting Service-Oriented Architectures, using web services to communicate between applications. The EJB 2.1 specification will require that all J2EE application servers provide the ability to expose Stateless Session Beans as web services. .NET already relies heavily on web services.
This all suggests that Macromedia released Flash Remoting as an intermediate step toward allowing Flash to communicate via web services. Developers should heed this trend toward Service-Oriented Architectures and use Flash Remoting to support a Service-Oriented Architecture that can easily be moved to web services in their own applications.
To use a Service-Oriented Architecture with Flash Remoting, simply create an object in your web application to expose services to Flash. In the terminology of Sun J2EE Blueprints, this object is a Business Delegate. It presents a Flash-friendly interface, exposed through Flash Remoting, to invoke methods on EJBs or any other object in the application server.
Using a Business Delegate addresses the fact that when Flash Remoting
deserializes an AMF message into Java objects, it only knows a
limited set of Java objects to use in the deserialization. Any
developer-defined ActionScript object becomes a
flashgateway.io.ASObject in Java. Methods invokable through Flash
Remoting must use
flashgateway.io.ASObject in their method
signatures. An
ASObject represents an ActionScript object in Java.
It is basically a
HashMap with case-insensitive keys and an extra
field named
ActionScript code that invokes
savePlayer() on
com.server.Server (the Business Delegate) would look like:
#include "NetServices.as"
var gatewayConnection = NetServices.createGatewayConnection();
var service = gatewayConnection.getService("com.server.Service", this);
Player = function() {}
var player = new Player();
player.name = "Joe";
The corresponding Java Business Delegate class might be:
package com.server;
import flashgateway.io.ASObject;
public class Service {
public void savePlayer(ASObject asPlayer) {
Player player = new Player();
player.setName((String) asPlayer.get("name"));
Using a Business Delegate in this manner provides a single place where Flash-Remoting-specific code is centralized. The Business Delegate is completely stateless and performs no work directly, delegating requests to other objects. For small applications, a single Business Delegate can expose all needed services to Flash. In larger application, it makes sense to create different Business Delegates for different service categories.
I recommend not implementing
java.io.Serializable in the
Business Delegate. If an object accessed through Flash Remoting implements
java.io.Serializable, the Flash gateway will save an instance of
it in the user session to use for subsequent service invocations. Since the
Business Delegate is stateless and the Flash client is available to maintain
state, there is no reason to maintain an instance of the Business Delegate in
each user's session.
As discussed above, when sending ActionScript objects to the server through
Flash Remoting service method calls, the Java service class will either receive
one of the known Java object types or an
ASObject, if the object
type is not known. Converting these
ASObjects to model objects in
the application server can be tedious and brittle:
package com.server;
import flashgateway.io.ASObject;
public class Service {
public void savePlayer(ASObject asPlayer) {
Player player = new Player();
player.setName((String) asPlayer.get("name"));
player.setEmail((String) asPlayer.get("email"));
player.setAge(((Integer) asPlayer.get("age")).intValue());
At Carbon Five, we have created an open source library for addressing this issue. ASTranslator (ActionScript Translator) is hosted on SourceForge.net at carbonfive.sourceforge.net/astranslator/, is at its 1.0 release, and has been used in several production applications.
ASTranslator has two methods.
translates Java objects in your application to ASObjects to send to Flash.
We'll discuss this method shortly.
translates ASObjects sent to Remoting service methods from Flash to Java
objects, as shown here:
import flashgateway.io.ASObject;
import com.carbonfive.flash.ASTranslator;
public class Service {
public void savePlayer(ASObject asPlayer) {
Player player = (Player) new ASTranslator().fromActionScript(asPlayer);
Note that you must cast the result of this method call to the expected
return type.
fromActionScript() can take any object as an
argument. It will translate any object and its composite objects as deeply as
possible, maintaining references as it goes.
In order for ASTranslator to know what Java class an
should become, you must register your ActionScript objects in Flash MX with the
Java class name to which the ActionScript object maps.
// Object definition
Player = function() {}
// Player in Flash maps to com.server.Player in Java
Object.registerClass("com.server.Player", Player);
The value with which you register the class in ActionScript--
com.server.Player, in this case--is set to the value of the
type field by Flash Remoting when
deserializing the object from AMF. ASTranslator uses this field to know what
Java object to create from the
We created ASTranslator because of an issue we found with Flash Remoting MX
for J2EE. When returning Java objects from service calls to Flash, Flash
Remoting serializes Java objects according to their member variable state
protected, or
public), ignoring the publicly-declared property
accessors you'd expect it to use. If you have a Java class:
package com.server;
public class Player {
private String _name;
public getName() {
return _name;
and a service class:
package com.server;
public class Service {
public Player getPlayer(String name) {
Player player = Roster.getPlayer(name);
return player;
Service.getPlayer() from Flash MX would return an
ActionScript object with a property
_name instead of
name. This removes one of the primary values of object-oriented
programming: encapsulation. ActionScript programmers in Flash can see
the internal state of Java objects on the server that even other Java objects
running on the server cannot see. This is bad. It can be really bad (both for
performance and security) if the internal state includes more information than
the object was designed to expose through its public interface.
ASTranslator uses JavaBean-style introspection to serialize Java objects for remoting. To use ASTranslator in the above example, we would change the Business Delegate Service class as follows.
package com.server;
import flashgateway.io.ASObject;
import com.carbonfive.flash.ASTranslator;
public class Service {
public ASObject getPlayer(String name) {
Player player = Roster.getPlayer(name);
ASObject aso = (ASObject) new ASTranslator().toActionScript(player);
return aso;
Flash will now receive an ActionScript object with the property
Additionally, ASTranslator sets the
type field of the ASObject
as the class name of the translated Java object. If the Flash developer has
registered an ActionScript class with the class name of the Java object to which it maps, the object Flash receives will be of the right object type in ActionScript
Player, in our example). If it has not been registered, the
object Flash received will just be an ActionScript Object. Using ASTranslator
in this way creates a tight binding between ActionScript objects in Flash and
Java objects in the application server. We have found this to be a very
effective way to use Flash Remoting.
Just as the Business Delegate defines a single entry point for communication coming from Flash through Flash Remoting, a Service Proxy implemented in Flash provides a single place where server-side services are exposed to the Flash application. To an ActionScript developer, the Service Proxy looks like the service provided by your application. The Service Proxy provides a central place to:
A Service Proxy for the example in the previous section may resemble:
#include "NetServices.as"
// define service proxy
function Service(client) {
this.client = client;
// set global status to call this
_global.System.server = this;
_global.System.onStatus = function(status) {
// initialize the service
Service.prototype.init = function(gatewayUrl) {
var gatewayConnection = NetServices.createGatewayConnection();
this.service = gatewayConnection.getService("com.server.Service", this.client);
// define status handler
Service.prototype.onStatus = function(status) {
// save user service
Service.prototype.saveUser = function(user) {
and the ActionScript code to use it would be:
var service = new Service(this);
Player = function() {}
var player = new Player();
player.name = "Joe";
For many development teams, the Service Proxy will be the place where J2EE developers and Flash developers get together to agree on the service API. We have found that creating a stubbed-out Service Proxy with methods that return the same results for each call is a great way to define the integration point between Flash and a J2EE application. Both teams can work knowing that the integration is already well-defined.
A Flash developer handles the results of a remoting call (e.g.,
service.doCall()) by implementing a
doCall_onResult(result) callback method for service calls that
execute successfully and a
doCall_onStatus(error) callback method
for exceptions thrown by the Remoting gateway. The Remoting gateway will throw
exceptions when it encounters problems locating, loading, or creating the
service class and the method to invoke on it, or when the service class itself
throws an exception.
Given this behavior and my recommendation to use a service-oriented
architecture with Flash Remoting, I recommend having the service implementation
throw exceptions to be handled by the Flash MX client. In the simplest case, I
recommend having all service methods simply throw
package com.server;
import flashgateway.io.ASObject;
import com.carbonfive.flash.ASTranslator;
public class Service {
public ASObject getPlayer(String name) throws Exception {
This allows the Flash MX client to inspect all exceptions thrown during the service invocation and determine what to do about it at runtime. This strategy is discussed in the Flash Remoting documentation at livedocs.macromedia.com/frdocs/Using_Flash_Remoting_MX/UseActionScript8.jsp.
type field of the error object returned to
getPlayer_onStatus() should provide the class name of the thrown
exception, allowing us to implement the callback in Flash as:
getPlayer_onStatus = function (error) {
if (error.type == "com.server.PlayerNotFoundException") {
trace("unable to find the player");
} else {
trace("an unknown error occurred");
This approach is limited in that inheritance is not taken into account. A
thrown exception that extends
is an instance of a
com.server.PlayerNotFoundException in Java, but
would not be handled as one in the above ActionScript code. The
type field of the error object would be the class name of the
thrown exception.
A more significant limitation is that Flash Remoting MX for J2EE does not
actually send exceptions thrown by a service class to the
XXX_onStatus callback method. Because the Flash Remoting gateway
uses introspection to invoke the service methods, all exceptions thrown by
service calls are nested within a
java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException. Tracing the
properties of an exception thrown by a service call results in output that
looks something like:
code: SERVER.PROCESSING
level: error
description: Service threw an exception during method invocation: null
type: java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException
details: java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException
at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method)
at flashgateway.Gateway.invoke(Gateway.java:184)
at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:536)
Caused by: com.server.PlayerNotFoundException:
There is no player with name 'bob'
at com.server.Roster.getPlayer(Roster.java:45)
We would like the nested
com.server.PlayerNotFoundException to
be used as exception upon which the error object is based, but it is not. This
is a known issue in the implementation of Flash Remoting for J2EE. We have not
come up with a great solution to this problem.
The best solution we have is to build a new error object in the Service
Proxy that inspects the
detail field of the error returned by
Remoting to determine the correct values for
type, and
details before calling the
onStatus method in the client. Unfortunately, the formatting of the
stack trace as provided by the
details field differs, depending on
the JVM version being used on the server. Specifically, between Java 1.3 and
Java 1.4, the way in which nested exceptions are printed in a stack trace is
different. This makes inspecting the
detail field brittle.
I feel strongly that having the
XXX_onResult method handle
successful Remoting calls and
XXX_onStatus handle the failure
cases is the best way to use Flash Remoting, but am not satisfied by with the
presented workaround. I am interested in hearing other recommendations for
dealing with this issue.
Because Flash Remoting uses introspection to locate, create, and invoke
methods on any class in your application server, it is important to think about
the security implications of using Flash Remoting in your application. Without
any security restrictions, a Flash movie can invoke any method on any class
that has a no-argument constructor or any object that can be found in JNDI.
This is a serious security issue. Theoretically, a Flash movie could shut down
the application server, if it knew the right object to access. At the very
least, a Flash movie could create an
ArrayList and fill it until
the server runs out of memory.
There is very little information from Macromedia on this issue. Their recommended strategy for dealing with it is to modify the Java security policy file for your application server to grant or deny access to vulnerable packages in your server and application. Macromedia describes doing this for JRun 4.
Depending on your application server, you may need to edit the server's Java security policy file to grant or deny Flash Remoting access to specific classes. This Macromedia Designer and Developer Center article includes an example of editing the WebLogic security policy file to allow Flash Remoting to access classes in a specific package.
At Carbon Five, we have found that using Flash Remoting to create Flash interfaces to applications providing services through a Services-Oriented Architecture is a fun and clean way to work. It simplifies application development by removing tedious presentation-layer coding. It enables parallel development of the user experience and application functionality. It streamlines integration of work done by front-end and back-end development teams. Most importantly, it enables us to deliver powerful interfaces to the users of our enterprise Java applications.
As Web-based application development matures, we will see a proliferation of smart, stateful, feature-rich clients using Service-Oriented Applications to do the heavy hitting on the back end. Flash MX, Flash Remoting, and J2EE are powerful tools for creating these applications today.

Huntley High School recently announced freshman Casey Haayer as recipient of the Student of the Semester award sponsored by Edward Jones Investments.
Casey's transition to high school has been positive as well as successful. His teachers report that he is a natural born leader who cares about his education as much as his fellow students. He participates daily in class and is always prepared. He is always extremely respectful, and takes responsibility for his actions both inside and outside of school.
According to Mr. Rick Crider, a coach who worked with Casey during the football season, "Casey is one of the hardest working and most dedicated young men that I have ever worked with. He has very clear goals for himself, and has shown the commitment necessary to achieve them."
Casey's math teacher, Mrs. Carol Sikora, shared that he is an outstanding young man who has transitioned exceptionally well from middle school to high school. He is dedicated to both his extracurricular and academic career here at Huntley High School.

Madison firefighters rescued three children trapped on the roof of their burning home Wednesday night.
Crews were called about 7:15 p.m. to a house fire at 914 Chapel Hill Road, just off Schroeder Road on the city's west side. When they arrived, they found three children on the garage roof screaming and heavy smoke coming from the building. Flames were visible from the back side of the duplex, according to fire officials.
Firefighters helped the children to the ground and rescued a dog from the home. The fire was extinguished within 12 minutes.
The fire caused extensive damage to the first floor and moderate smoke damage to the second floor. 910 Chapel Hill Road sustained smoke damage. A family of two and family of four were displaced, according to fire officials.
Investigators said the fire started in the kitchen and the cause is under investigation. The children said smoke alarms alerted them of the fire.
Total damage is estimated at $75,000 with property loss at $60,000 and contents at $15,000.

Examining year-to-year growth in sales is one of the most effective ways of determining the overall health of a concept. This year's field of top growth chains was dominated by Limited-Service brands, which took eight of the top 10 spots. LSR/Sandwich players Firehouse Subs and Jimmy John's Gourmet Sandwiches claimed the top two positions, while a mixture of large and smaller fast-casual and quick-service concepts rounded out the group. Just two Casual-Dining brands, Cheddar's and Buffalo Wild Wings Grill & Bar, represented the full-service sector. Chains are ranked by percent growth in U.S. systemwide sales.
10. Panda Express
Rounding out the top 10 is quick-service Asian concept Panda Express, which bested Preceding-Year sales growth of 11.8 percent for a Latest-Year finish just behind No. 9 growth chain Zaxby's.
U.S. systemwide sales growth: 16.2%
U.S. systemwide sales: $1.8 billion
Top 100 sales rank: 34
U.S. unit count: 1,514 (up 6.5%)

U.S. systemwide sales: $979.5 million
Top 100 sales rank: 47

ESPU: $1.8 million (up 11.2%)
8. Little Caesars Pizza
(Continued from page 2)
The originator of the Hot-N-Ready Pizza was the only chain in the Pizza segment that cracked the top 10 in sales growth, falling just 0.2 percent behind Moe's Southwest Grill for a No. 8 growth ranking.
U.S. systemwide sales growth: 18.4%
U.S. systemwide sales: $2.9 billion
Top 100 sales rank: 19
U.S. unit count: 3,673 (up 6.3%)
ESPU: $813,700 (up 11%)
7. Moe's Southwest Grill
(Continued from page 3)
Although it claims just 3.8 percent of the LSR/Mexican segment's market share, Moe's Southwest Grill gave segment leader Chipotle Mexican Grill a run for its money when it came to sales growth in this year's Top 100.
U.S. systemwide sales growth: 18.6%
U.S. systemwide sales: $452 million
Top 100 sales rank: 86
U.S. unit count: 487 (up 10.2%)
ESPU: $973,100 (up 10.3%)
6. Chipotle Mexican Grill

5. Wingstop

Just trailing fourth-place finisher Buffalo Wild Wings Grill & Bar is limited-service competitor Wingstop, whose Latest-Year unit growth drove sales gains that allowed the chain to move up 10 places from its Preceding-Year Top 100 sales rank.
U.S. systemwide sales growth: 20.5%
U.S. systemwide sales: $450.9 million
Top 100 sales rank: 88

ESPU: $882,400 (up 13.1%)
4. Buffalo Wild Wings Grill & Bar

Top 100 sales rank: 72
U.S. unit count: 129 (up 21.7%)
ESPU: $4.6 million (up 3.9%)
2. Jimmy John's Gourmet sandwiches

Top 100 sales rank: 41

ESPU: $874,700 (up 6.1%)
1. Firehouse Subs
(Continued from page 9)

So they make these awards as the international season just begins for the UK sides! They also choose their international player of the year based on two matches played six months apart! Who was the selection panel, the same one that chooses the Australian team? More Australian arrogance.
According to this week's League Weekly, Danny Lockwood had a vote for player of the year, so the judging panel wasn't exclusively Australian. However, there are so many flaws in these awards it's not funny. How have they managed to find a Japanese player of the year? And the Tongan player of the year is Brent Kite? Seriously!!!
