WSDL Customization Issues and Workarounds in Java EE 6 Applications in NetBeans
By Jeffrey Rubinoff on Mar 10, 2010
I've found a couple issues when using NetBeans to generate a WSDL file for an EE 6 web service, and then customizing that WSDL file. Some other users have reported them as well, so I thought I'd share them with the community.
- When I set a new wsdlLocation attribute in the web service class, this is ignored and the default, autogenerated WSDL is used instead. It appears that GlassFish v3 doesn't recognize the wsdlLocation attribute. A bug against GlassFish has been reported (11437), there's a fix in the nightly GF builds, and the fix will be there in 3.0.1. In the meantime, it's probably worth downloading and installing the nightly GF build and registering this server in the IDE.
- When you use NetBeans to generate the WSDL for an EE 6 JAX-WS service, generation fails because wsgen "Could not create declaration for annotation type javax.ejb.Stateless" or javax.ejb.EJB. Workaround is simply to comment out those annotations, generate WSDL, then uncomment them.
The NetBeans guys told me that the second problem is related to wsgen in JAX-WS, not an NB issue. I posted this as issue #837 in jax-ws, but the JAX-WS guys replied that this was a problem with apt, not wsgen. Their suggested workaround is to "Pass the Java EE API jar that contains @Stateless in the wsgen classpath." I don't know how this is done and am waiting to hear from the NetBeans guys, again, to find out if this is something we can do in the IDE. Also, I hope someone can explain to me what "apt" is.
UPDATE: All these issues are resolved using NB 6.9 RC, GF 3.0.1 and JDK 6 u 20.

FERC gives Minisink compressor the go-ahead
March 6, 2012 —
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has concluded that a natural gas compressor station proposed by the Millenium Pipeline Co. for Minisink would "not constitute a major federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment," according to a 78-page environmental assessment report just released by the agency.
The station would include two compressors and a pair of 52-foot-high exhaust stacks, and has given rise to widespread public opposition, including hundreds of comments submitted to FERC for its environmental assessment.
According to a company spokesman, the Millenium Pipeline Co. is not required to get approval from the Minisink planning board for the project, but would like to work with the town, as encouraged by the FERC environmental assessment.
The Stop the Minisink Compressor Station group intends to request a full environmental impact statement, according to member Pramilla Malick, and may consider court action.
Comments on the project will be accepted until April 2. Visit www.ferc.gov/industries/gas/enviro/eis/2012/03-02-12-ea.asp and click on the "efile" button on the righthand side.

Some Bellaire ordinances called outdated
BELLAIRE Some of the Village of Bellaire's ordinances are in need of an upgrade, or at minimum, additional clarification, according to village zoning administrator Mike Wallace.
Speaking before council Thursday night, Wallace explained that many were passed in 1963 and prior and do not "meet the times."
This was in response to questions asked of him by council and also issues recently that have come to his attention and to that of the zoning board.
"One of the bigger issues addressed before council is that of junk in general and junk vehicles," Wallace said. "And also collecting junk materials that are used for salvage.
"The ordinance doesn't specifically address items used in performance of a business."
That was in reference to Electronic Recyling Services, its main lot and also its overflow location situated nearby that has wrapped pallets of electronics waiting to be recycled. The overflow lot's inventory is visible from the roadways and surrounding area, sparking a few residents in the neighborhood and beyond to complain about the sight.
Dan Brown, Senior Director of Operations for ERS, and fellow ERS employees came before council two meetings ago in October to express their concern for what they felt was improper treatment of ERS.
The terms "dump" and "eyesore" in reference to the overflow lot were previously used and Brown referenced a letter his company received that he felt was geared toward insulting the business and its growth.
According to Wallace, there are no ordinances in place that specifically detail ERS is doing anything wrong.
"From what I can see, the pallets are wrapped in plastic," Wallace said. "We had a disagreement on whether the computers are usable or not. I don't care. They are there for a specific purpose, to be salvaged.
"I don't see a problem with the end result. The materials are moving out. The supplies, what they recycle, is similar to a coal company stockpiling coal for sale or transport."
Wallace believes all involved need to sit down and look on both sides what's best for this community, for both businesses and its residents."
Brown had accused certain members of council and their associates of "daily harassment and negativity" in regard to ERS.
Upon further investigation, The Times Leader found no evidence of daily harassment or any action or comments made an in official capacity be neither council nor members of the Bellaire Chamber of Commerce as was reportedly previously.
Wallace also mentioned the vagueness of some ordinances in relation to proper use/legal use of trailers within the village.
There has been a repeated question asked about a nearby business using a trailer as a storage unit. The unit is surrounded by a fence but still visible from the street.
Several councilmen stated there are also two trailers being lived in within village limits, neither of which are in a designated trailer court as the village does not have one.
Wallace believes the best course of action is to have council sit down and work on updating the ordinances and their language to better reflect the times.
"We need to sit down, go after these things and get some sample ordinances in place to try and start rectifying the problem," Wallace said.

Sullivan County lawmakers voted on July 21 to extend Agricultural District Four to include a 4.5-acre parcel owned by philanthropist and orchid maven Stuart Salenger. The acceptance into the district makes it more difficult for local officials to adopt zoning changes that would prevent Salenger from using the property for agricultural uses.
This is the third time that land owned by Salenger has been added to the district, and the third time during the process that neighbors have turned out to assert that Salenger doesn't have the right to use his property for a commercial enterprise. In this case, Salenger may use the acreage to raise goats.
In the past, only legislator Kathy LaBuda, who represents
Forestburgh, opposed Salanger. This time around, she was joined by lawmaker Ron Hiatt. In an email, Hiatt said that he has always voted in favor of expanding the agricultural districts because he believes that farming has the most potential for economic development in Sullivan County.
But, noting that this may be connected to a neighborhood dispute, Hiatt wrote, "It was clear to me that this is and always has been a residential neighborhood. And putting an unknown number of goats directly adjacent to the neighbor's property would affect the character of the neighborhood. The goats could just as easily be raised on the other 60 acres already approved for farming and well away from the residence."
The argument from some lawmakers was that the members of the Sullivan County Farm Board, who are experts in the area, made the recommendation that the parcel should be accepted and the legislators should follow their advice. Officials connected to agriculture in the county have generally been very supportive of Salenger's efforts.
The vote was five to two in favor, with two abstentions from legislators Leni Binder and Jodi Goodman. Salenger's neighbor, Kathryn Barnhardt, at a public hearing in June said Binder and Goodman should recuse themselves from a vote on the matter because they have sat in Salenger's box at concerts at Bethel Woods Center for the Arts. County lawmakers are not supposed to accept gifts worth more than $75 if "it could be reasonably inferred that the gift was intended to influence him or her."
Binder said had she not abstained she would have voted "yes" based on state law, and the fact that the parcel is contiguous to an existing farm.
Because of current ethics rules, abstention votes now count as yes votes unless there is a real conflict of interest as opposed to an appearance of impropriety. Binder and Goodman have sought to change that rule so that an abstention in the future would not count either way.
At an earlier meeting at the government center, lawmakers discussed changing the rule but no one had any suggestions about how language in the proposed measure should be changed, and a couple of lawmakers said the rule did not need to be changed.
Lawmaker Alan Sorensen said that it could allow legislators to avoid difficult votes by pleading some potential perception of a conflict of interest.
Goodman asked that the vote be tabled to give lawmakers more time to consider the matter and perhaps come up with new language, and the other lawmakers agreed.

Black Tip Reef Shark
The blacktip reef shark inhabits the waters of the Indo-Pacific coral reef distributional area. Adults rarely exceed 2 meters in length and often live in groups. However, it is possible to find isolated examples: often it is the case of females about to give birth.
The preferred prey of the blacktip reef shark are small bony fish, crustaceans and cephalopods. It has a rather shy and introverted nature; these sharks are rarely a danger to humans, even though they are attracted by the presence of divers who move about the coral reefs. They are typical in appearance of how humans imagine a shark to look, and can be seen at our big ocean tank.
Today, the black fin shark is a threatened species because of man's overfishing of them.
Blacktip Reef Sharks have an average lifespan of 12 years.The Blacktip Reef Shark's diet is composed primarily of small teleost fishes, including mullet, groupers, grunters, jacks, mojarras, wrasses, surgeonfish, and smelt-whitings.

Marvin Lewis' smile said plenty, but his blunt assessment was even better.
Lewis and Mike McCarthy have known each other for going on 25 years now, dating back to when they worked together at the University of Pittsburgh in 1990 and '91. So when Lewis, the Cincinnati Bengals head coach, was told Tuesday morning that McCarthy, the Green Bay Packers coach, had been criticized in some quarters for his team not being physical enough last season, he smirked and shook his head.
"I'm sure it hurt Mike," Lewis said during the AFC coaches breakfast at the annual NFL Meetings at the Arizona Biltmore hotel. "But we all suck unless you win."
Both Lewis' Bengals and McCarthy's Packers did win – but not enough. The Bengals went 10-6 before losing an AFC Wild Card game to the Houston Texans. The Packers went 11-5, won the NFC North for the second straight year, beat the Minnesota Vikings in the first round of the playoffs but then lost for the second straight year in the NFC Divisional round.
For the Packers, it wasn't so much that they lost but how they lost their 45-31 decision to the San Francisco 49ers. The 49ers, with their physical reputation, reached Super Bowl XLVII, which they lost to the Baltimore Ravens, another team with a physical persona. Mix in the Packers' 2011 NFC Divisional Playoff loss to the New York Giants, their regular-season loss to the Giants last November and their season-opening loss to the 49ers at Lambeau Field, and two years removed from winning Super Bowl XLV, suddenly their toughness and entire approach were being questioned.
Which McCarthy did not appreciate.
"Obviously, we're a physical football team. One play – or a segment of plays that you want to highlight – I don't think speak for how your team plays, the mentality of your team," McCarthy said at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis last month. "There are things that we will improve on, there's things we will re-emphasize when the players get back here April 15th.
"But, hey, Baltimore is the champion. Obviously San Francisco is the NFC champion. Those compliments to their football team are well-deserved and I think they're accurate the way they play. But I have all the confidence in the world in our football team, and I'd do take them anywhere to play anybody."
Next season, the Packers will face all kinds of tests on how physical they are. Not only do they have a rematch on the schedule with the 49ers at Candlestick Park, they also play the AFC North – meaning they'll play the Super Bowl-champion Ravens and the Bengals on the road and the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cleveland Browns at home. They'll also play the Giants for the third straight regular season.
The problem with questioning how physical a team is or isn't, of course, is that it's hard to quantify or define. What makes a physical football team? Is it a hard-hitting defense? A ground-and-pound running game? Is it built by choosing a specific type of player? Running a particular offensive or defensive scheme? Is it a mentality?
Or is it simply what McCarthy would call a "convenient criticism" that invariably follows back-to-back playoff disappointments?
"I think 'physical' means finish, fourth quarter, mental toughness – you know what I'm saying? (But) it's more than just words on paper," said Lewis, who was the Ravens' defensive coordinator when they won Super Bowl XXXV, following the 2000 season. "It's work ethic and how you go about how you approach, your preparation for a game, how you go into the game. It's really a culture more than anything."
That culture, Ravens coach John Harbaugh said, has to show through in every aspect of your team. It's not just about having an aggressive defense or bruising running backs.
"I think we've had a vision in this organization for quite a long time and we built on that the last few years. You know the type of player you want to bring into your organization," Harbaugh said Tuesday. "We don't bring anybody in that we don't think has that type of a mindset – guys that love football and love the tough part of football, the physical part of football. (Guys) that like to work and play a good, physical game.
"I think it's in all three phases, every aspect. It's run, pass, run defense, pass defense, every part of special teams. You have to be physical in everything you do. It's a physical sport, it's one of the things that makes the game great. It's who we are. It's who we are as a football team. You look around the league, most teams try to be that. Our division, all four teams have taken on that mindset."
Steelers coach Mike Tomlin, whose team lost Super Bowl XLV to the Packers, said personnel is a factor in being viewed as physical, but that it's also an approach
"Combative. And I think that's a word that I look for in regards to being physical," Tomlin said at the AFC coaches breakfast. "Put together a team that's combative, one that doesn't run away from combat situations or circumstances. I believe that year in and year out we're capable of producing that kind of team.
"I just think it's a mentality more than anything else. We understand that there's going to be confrontation in the game of professional football and we're not running away from it.
On defense in 2012, the Packers finished with 47 sacks, fourth-most in the league. A year after missing a mind-boggling 109 tackles on defense, they missed just 81 last season – and one-third of those (27) came in their three games against the Minnesota Vikings and running back Adrian Peterson. They also played the entire season without their most physical player (inside linebacker Desmond Bishop) and were without their two biggest defensive leaders – Charles Woodson (nine games) and Clay Matthews (four games) – for lengthy stretches.
One stat did stand out: The Packers forced only eight fumbles in the regular season last year, recovering four. That would seem to be a physical statistic, right? There's just one problem with that theory: Only two teams forced fewer fumbles than the Packers last season: The Indianapolis Colts, who made the playoffs, and the Ravens.
On offense, the Packers non-quarterbacks ran the ball 375 times while quarterback Aaron Rodgers and backup Graham Harrell had 556 pass attempts and 51 sacks. Throwing out Rodgers' 54 rushing attempts (and Harrell's four) even though most of those were scrambles on called pass plays, the Packers ran 982 plays. Of those, 38.2 were runs by running backs, and 61.8 were clear-cut passing situations.
In addition, the Packers haven't had a running back rush for 100 yards in a regular-season game since Brandon Jackson carried 10 times for 115 yards (71 of it on one run) at Washington on Oct. 10, 2010. That's a streak of 43 consecutive regular-season games without a 100-yard rusher. (If you count James Starks' 123-yard effort against the Philadelphia Eagles in a 2010 NFC Wild Card playoff game, the streak is 38 games including playoffs.)
"You have to be able to run the ball effectively. That's what Benny brought to us more consistently," Lewis said, referring to running back BenJarvus Green-Ellis, whom the Bengals signed from New England. "Even when we weren't doing things ripping and roaring up and down the field for a 100-plus yards a game early in the season, we were much better on short-yardage and goal-line, and I think that mentality was a different mentality. That was something that he excelled at with the Patriots, so when he came to Cincinnati he'd get excited about because he was used to being very good at that in New England and that was his forte."
Short yardage was not the Packers' forte. According to NFL statistics, the Packers faced third-and-1 on 35 occasions during the regular season. They ran the ball on 18 of those plays, converting the first down on 11 of them (61.1 percent). They threw the ball on 15, converting eight (53.3 percent). And on two, Rodgers scrambled and converted both for a total conversion rate of 60 percent (21 of 35) – which ranked 23rd in the NFL. Overall, the Packers finished ninth in the league in third-down conversion rate (42.9 percent).
Rodgers accounted for five of those first-down runs on called QB keepers, so the Packers' running backs were 6 for 13 (46.2) on third-and-1 situations.
It certainly didn't help the short-yardage game – or the running game as a whole – that veteran running back Cedric Benson, who was starting to round into form and was looking very capable of being the workhorse back the team has lacked, went down with what turned out to be a season-ending foot injury in Week 5. That led to a revolving door at running back, where late-season addition DuJuan Harris showed an intriguing physical running style for his 5-foot-8 height, but the running game was still a non-factor.
For another team that has developed a physical reputation, the Seattle Seahawks, it starts at running back with Marshawn Lynch, whose punishing running style proved to be a perfect complement for rookie quarterback Russell Wilson, taking pressure off the passing game until the ex-University of Wisconsin star hit his stride.
"He's a tone-setter. There's no question about it," said Seahawks general manager John Schneider, who traded for Lynch during the 2010 season, when he was willing to pay a steeper price than Packers GM Ted Thompson would. "The other players see how hard he plays and he gives it up. He's a guy that's really been a tempo-setter for the younger players on the team."
"(Being more physical) was a goal of ours when we got there (in 2010). We had played the Packers that (previous) year, and we knew that we wanted to establish a certain identity and that was a long-term goal of ours – to become a strong, tough, fast, physical football team. That you knew when you came to CenturyLink (Field) that you were going to have to deal with the noise and you were going to have to deal with the toughness. And then if we went somewhere and played on the road, that you weren't just going to be able to walk out on your home field and walk all over us."
For Schneider, who was Thompson's director of football operations before leaving to join coach Pete Carroll in Seattle, the idea of getting physical begins with player acquisition.
"I think when you're scouting players, you're scouting the guys you're attracted to because they play through injuries, they present themselves with a certain mental toughness, a certain swagger," Schneider said. "Then you have a staff that can instill that confidence in them to play with that certain swagger. Pete's always, wherever he's been, done a great job of instilling confidence in people and letting them be themselves."
And if the Packers are themselves, they will be a pass-oriented offense with arguably the league's best quarterback and a bevy of pass-catching talent (even after Greg Jennings' free-agent defection to Minnesota and the retirement of franchise all-time leading receiver Donald Driver). They can certainly improve in the run game on offense become a more attacking, hard-hitting defense – especially in the secondary. Maybe the draft will yield a hard-hitting safety, some linebacker help and another defensive lineman who'll eat up blocks. And perhaps after two years of playoffs disappointments, there'll be more urgency and intensity that could lead to being more physical – which the Packers have always aspired to be under McCarthy.
"We always wanted to be," said Miami Dolphins coach Joe Philbin, McCarthy's offensive coordinator from 2007 through 2011. "There was a certain way we wanted to play. I thought we did a good job with the players that we had in terms of putting them in a position to be successful, and utilizing the talent we had at our disposal. … But we were a throwing team a little bit."

Chief executive officer of Vodafone Germany said that the company welcomes Nokia Corp.'s decision to use Microsoft Windows Phone as its primary operating system since the cooperation creates the fourth major mobile ecosystem.
"We are looking very much forward to these new products that will come from this cooperation between Microsoft and Nokia. The market is dominated now by Apple and Android is picking up fast, RIM in the enterprise field is a very important solution as well and we think that the fourth operating system with Nokia and Microsoft will be a very positive thing for the market overall," said Jan Geldmacher, chief executive officer of Vodafone German, in an interview with IDG News-Service.
Mr. Geldmacher did not elaborate what was wrong with Nokia's Symbian platform, which was the most popular mobile operating system (OS) and which, unlike Microsoft's mobile platform, has been gaining support from end-users, albeit, has been losing market share.
Nokia's decision to drop support of its own Symbian and adopt Microsoft Windows Phone 7 instead yet has to prove its viability. Microsoft has failed to create a competitive mobile ecosystem throughout the most recent decade and despite the launch of WP7 its market share dropped further in Q4 2010. It is hoped that Nokia will help Microsoft to create a proper mobile OS.
The first Nokia phones featuring Nokia-enhanced version of Windows Phone 7 are projected to be released in late 2011 or in 2012.

Fundraising | News
The alumni association at Southern Illinois University Edwardsville has implemented an application to improve its fundraising efforts among its 80,000 alumni. The foundation, which raised $3.7 million in fiscal 2009, will be running a set of programs from Agilon to manage donor information and finances.
The organization initially announced its selection of Agilon software in June 2009 and began a phased implementation. The first modules put in place were part of Donor Outreach Suite, which includes Constituent Connection, an online community; Rel@y, an e-mail delivery service; and Events Management. Those programs allow alumni and other university fans to update their profiles, make donations, register for events, and renew memberships through a self-service Web portal.
Since those initial deployments, the foundation has finished integrating legacy Ascend data to work with Agilon's constituent relationship management (CRM) modules. Those provide functions for maintaining donor demographics, prospect reporting and proposal tracking, campaign management, gift processing, planned giving, and management of scholarships and endowment programs.
"Agilon's technology gives our fundraisers the tools they need to be successful." said Patrick Hundley, CEO of the foundation. "With the integrated Donor Outreach Suite we've improved communications and networking with our constituents, and provided them with self-service access for making gifts and pledges, registering for events, and purchasing memberships."
Other Agilon customers have included foundations at the University of Toledo in Ohio, Oklahoma Baptist University in Shawnee, and Montana State University in Bozeman.

Reading, writing and a rhythm stick
March 3, 2011 —
I was stunned this week to hear one of my pals exclaim that there was "nothing to do around here." I know that most of us have grown weary of winter, and the weather tends to keep us inside—but nothing to do? Hardly.
I scanned my schedule and made several suggestions, but while she had to admit that there were events of interest on my list, when push came to shove, she simply did not want to go out. "Fine," I replied, "but I'm hitting the road."
The Monticello Performing Arts Booster Club ( monticelloschools.net ) offered a perfect opportunity for something different this week, in the form of "Sounds of Africa," led by award-winning "Master Drummer" Bernard Woma and the Saakumu Dance Troupe, arriving in the Catskills from Ghana, West Africa. Their music ranges from "spiritual, ceremonial, recreational genres to contemporary African dance forms." Woma has performed with artists Maya Angelou and Yo Yo Ma, and has appeared at Lincoln Center, Avery Fisher Hall, with the New York Philharmonic and for the likes of Nelson Mandela and Queen Elizabeth II. Oh, and for a SRO crowd in Monticello, NY.
Woma was recently honored as the cultural resource person for President Barack Obama's family while they visited Ghana. Considered one of West Africa's "cultural treasures," his resume is extensive as both a dynamic artist and educator, lifting students' spirits while sharing a rich history of music and dance.
The Eugene D. Nesin Theatre was packed with people stomping their feet, clapping their hands and dancing in the aisles. While one friend stayed home, I attended with another, and we were invigorated by the spirit of this (IMHO) amazing troupe, which had already performed its whirlwind program twice that day, before hitting the streets of Monticello and heading off to Buffalo to spread more joy.
Variety being the operative word this week and with "nothing to do," I headed a bit west—to the Sunshine Hall Free Library ( rcls.org/eld/friends.html ) in Eldred, NY for a bit of light reading. The bill of fare for the afternoon showcased Port Jervis' "Ghost Detective" Michael J. Worden—who is, by day, a real-life police officer and in the off hours, a man who hunts for "things that go bump in the night."
Worden regaled the attentive crowd with personal anecdotes, sharing stories of local hauntings, peppered with helpful hints for the would-be ghost hunter in all of us. His book "Ghost Detective" and website ( paranormalpolice.com ) are designed for both the novice and avid enthusiast.

By Helena Rodriguez: Local Columnist
I guess I was destined to learn to speak Spanish late in life like many gringos.
I read last week that New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg and three other guys who want his job have been busy learning to roll their Rs so they can hablar en español. According to this Associated Press story, many lawmakers on Capitol Hill are also taking weekly language classes, and let's not forget Los Angeles' newly elected mayor, Antonio Villaraigosa, the city's first Hispanic head honcho, who beat out an incumbent and is already well-versed in Spanish.
With the fast-growing Hispanic population in the United States, not to mention Latin America, the question these days is not a simple "si" or "no" when it comes to learning Spanish. It's a question of when.
Add this 37-year-old newspaper columnist to the list of middle-aged Spanish students. Actually, I don't have much trouble rolling my Rs and I understand much of what people say in Spanish. But I have a severe language deficit when it comes to putting sentences together, particularly in the past and future tenses. And since we can't live in the here and now forever, I often find myself in trouble when people start talking in Spanish.
I was told last winter by my Spanish teacher, Vitelio Contreras, that I've already got a bilingual mind to speak Spanish. I was raised on Spanglish. That should make it a piece of cake to fill in the blanks, right? Wrong. It hasn't been so easy. So like these politicos, I'm resorting to desperate measures. I'm packing my bags and heading south of the border this summer.
I mentioned my upcoming trip to the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico in last week's column, but I didn't go into detail. Last summer I set my sights on taking part in this four-week Spanish immersion program with Eastern New Mexico University, under the leadership of Mary Ayala. Since then, I've fantasized about swimming with the dolphins and doing the whole tourist thing. But in reality, it won't be all "bon voyage," or should I say, "un bien viaje?"
This immersion program will be exactly what it implies, a total immersion into a foreign culture and language. It's foreign to me because I've never been totally immersed in Spanish, which would explain my Spanish-speaking deficit. It's not the same as my Spanglish world, which consists of listening to a little Spanish music and throwing in a Spanish word or two here and there.
It will be a matter of complete survival in Spanish — something I've never had to do, not even as a teenager when Mom and Dad sent my sisters and I to stay with my grandparents in Lubbock. Grandpa Chaya doesn't speak any English. The idea was for us to learn Spanish, but we cheated. My cousin Esmeralda, who was bilingual, translated for us. But one time when Esmeralda was gone, we literally played a game of charades with Grandma Chaya. We couldn't figure out what she wanted from the little tienda down the street, even as she held up a box of crackers but moved her hands about to indicate a smaller box.
Grandma Chaya may come to visit this weekend. If so, I will take advantage of the opportunity to work on my Spanish before going to Mexico in July. When I suggested to my 14-year-old daughter, Laura, who is also going with me to Mexico, that Grandma Chaya should stay with us, Laura was like, "But we won't understand her!" And I was like, "Duh! That's the whole point!"
It's easier to learn to speak Spanish when you have no choice, as these politicos are finding out. I feel like I no longer have a choice either. I want to have conversations in Spanish with Grandma Chaya before it's too late. I also want to begin work on a Ph.D. in intercultural communication in the fall of 2006. And in this increasingly globalized economy, you too may soon find yourself sounding like that old Spanish-speaking Taco Bell dog, who was ahead of his time, and say, "Yo quiero hablar en español!"

Help is coming to replace some of the ash trees cut down in La Crosse recently.
The city received a grant for a little more than $4,300 from the La Crosse Community Foundation.
The money will be used to replace the trees at Pettibone Park that are being cut down because of the emerald ash borer.
The dollar amount isn't enough to replace all of the lost trees, but it will be enough for the city to lay out a plan to spruce up the park. "We want to actually leave some areas open, some fields open, for some use by soccer whatever, maybe riverfest wants to come down here, and do areas that you can do things so it's not speckled, or salt and pepper trees all over the park," said Park and Rec Superintendent Gar Amunson.
There is no timeline to start the planting.

Tesla Roadster EV Manages Record 313-Mile Trip on a Single Charge

The American-designed Tesla roadster offers a sweet blend of performance and efficiency, boasting a 3.9 s 0-60 acceleration and a 244 mile range.

A record is set!
(Source: AutoBlog Green)
With a bit of smart driving the Tesla Roadster has plenty of juice
The old mantra that the driver makes the car (and not the other way around) never seemed more true than in a recent road test of
Tesla Roadster
. A pair of drivers managed a record 313 miles on a charge during a challenge road trip across the Australian Outback.
Priced at near $100,000 the luxury electric sportscar has propelled Tesla into
profitability this July
and made it a new power on the U.S. auto market. A typical 2008 Tesla Roadster features an intriguing blend of power and efficiency. The sporty EV is capable of 0-60 acceleration in 3.9 seconds, making it faster than a
Porsche 911 or Audi R8. And it manages 244 miles on a charge, according to EPA testing cycles. Of course, you can't be flooring the acceleration pedal, if you want to manage that kind of range.
Previous testing (aside from the EPA tests) showed the car's real world range to be about 241 miles, the range it achieved in the Rallye Monte Carlo d'Energies Alternatives
held earlier this year
. Now a new test conducted as part of the Global Green Challenge in Australia has showed just how far the range can be extended by smart driving.
Driven by Simon Hackett and co-driver Emilis Prelgauskas, the pair managed to
squeeze 313 miles
out of the unmodified Roadster. That took them from Alice Springs, in the Australian Northern Territory to a point just 183 km (appr. 113 miles) north of Coober Pedy, in South Australia. The pair sealed the charge port door before embarking across the outback, to make the record official.
Mr. Hackett emailed a note to Tesla Motors that night, stating, "Emilis and I have decades of experience flying gliders competitively and we applied the same energy conservation techniques to our driving, with significant results! The car had about 3 miles of range left when the drive was completed. We travelled 501km on a single charge. Let that sink in for a minute."
He continues, "The security seal was applied to the charge port door when we started the journey. As this is being done as part of the Global Green Challenge, we have a full set of official verifiers here who will attest to the results and to achieving the outcome. We were followed along the journey by our support crew and a documentary film crew - so we have it on film. It's late here and we have another 541k to drive (with an intermediate charge stop) tomorrow - and another two days of the event left after that. When we're done, we will have driven over 3000 km's in the Roadster over the course of only six days, from Darwin to Adelaide."
The record showcases that aside from great performance the Tesla Roadster can also be incredibly efficient. That sets the bar high for luxury EV competitors
like Fisker
. And with a more affordable
mass-market entry
on the way, even companies with non-luxury entries like the 2011 Chevy Volt have cause for concern.
"A politician stumbles over himself... Then they pick it out. They edit it. He runs the clip, and then he makes a funny face, and the whole audience has a Pavlovian response." -- Joe Scarborough on John Stewart over Jim Cramer

Washington, D.C. - U.S. Assistant Secretary of Energy for Policy & International Affairs David Sandalow announced today that Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory will receive $12.5 million over the next five years to lead a consortium on energy-efficient building technologies under the U.S.-China Clean Energy Research Center (CERC). The funding will be matched by the consortium partners to provide at least $25 million in total U.S. funding. Chinese counterparts will contribute an additional $25 million.
"The U.S.-China Clean Energy Research Center will help to save energy and cut costs in buildings in both the United States and China," said Assistant Secretary Sandalow. "This new partnership will also create new export opportunities for American companies, ensure the United States remains at the forefront of technology innovation, and help to reduce global carbon pollution."
The Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory will lead a consortium that includes Oak Ridge National Lab, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the University of California-Davis, the Natural Resources Defense Council, the Energy Foundation, ICF International, the National Association of State Energy Officials, the Association of State Energy Research and Technology Transfer Institutions, The Dow Chemical Company, Honeywell, General Electric, Saint-Gobain, Bentley, ClimateMaster, Pegasus Capital Advisors, and Schneider Electric.
President Obama and President Hu Jintao formally announced the establishment of the CERC during the President's trip to Beijing last November. At the time, U.S. Secretary of Energy Steven Chu joined Chinese Minister of Science and Technology Wan Gang and Chinese National Energy Administrator Zhang Guobao to sign the protocol launching the Center.
In the United States, buildings account for nearly 40 percent of energy consumption and carbon emissions, and nearly half the new floor space built in the world every year is built in China. As such, the U.S. and China will play central roles in the world's transition to an energy efficient building sector in the years ahead.
Two additional consortia were announced by Secretary Chu last month - one led by the University of Michigan to advance technologies for clean vehicles and one led by West Virginia University to focus on the next generation of clean coal technologies, including carbon capture and storage. Total funding for CERC, including private and public investments in both countries, will be at least $150 million.
U.S. government funding will be used to support work conducted by U.S. institutions and individuals only. Chinese partners will be announced in the coming months by the Chinese government.

text: My son is currently 15 weeks old and is a great nurser. However, during the day, he will try to nurse and then keep pulling off and just cry hysterically. I will attempt to keep putting him on and he will suck a couple of times and then pull off and cry. Now, he is bottle fed with my breast milk while I work, and then I feed him from myself when I am home with him. I am starting to think that he is not getting enough from me because if I give him a bottle of milk, he will drink the whole thing up (roughly 6-8 ounces) after he does these crying fits. I think my supply may be going down now that he is sleeping through the night. He is sleeping from 8pm until 6pm without eating. I do not want to start supplementing him but when I pump, I will only get between 3-6 ounces total, and that is clearly not enough for him. I'm not sure what to do! Any suggestions?

Welcome to the Thugocracy
"I'm in the top two percent," said Peter Schiff, CEO of Euro Pacific Capital, this week on CNBC. "Right now, I'm paying 45 percent of my total income in income taxes … You tell me, what's fair about that when medieval serfs pay 25 percent, I'm paying half? I don't care what the majority voted to do, they don't have a right to steal my money just because they vote for it."
But according to most Americans, they do.
And that's the problem.
As America racks up more debt than God has ever seen on this earth, Barack Obama prepares to right all wrongs by taxing the top 2 percent of income earners in America. What right does he have to their money? Well, says Obama, it's only fair and just — they make the most money, so they should foot a disproportionate burden of the tax load.
Obama, like all other liberals, thinks in vague terms like "fairness." He doesn't worry about a fair process — whether or not it's right to allow a majority to discriminate against a minority simply because the minority is rich. He worries instead about a fair outcome. According to President Obama, a fair outcome — greater income redistribution — justifies the means. If a majority votes to seize the money of a minority, that's fair, because greater income equality is fair. No Democrat has yet explained convincingly why it wouldn't be most fair for the government to simply seize all wealth in the country and then split it up equally. After all, fair is fair.
But this notion of fairness was anathema to the founding fathers. They rightly recognized that the only real sort of fairness is fair process — a process that deliberately takes into account minority rights. They knew that a majority giving its stamp of approval to wealth confiscation of a minority was not fair. As James Madison said, "Our government ought to secure the permanent interests of the country … [It] ought to be so constituted as to protect the minority of the opulent against the majority." Madison wasn't saying this because he was a brutal rich fellow trying to protect his pocketbook. He said this because he didn't want a government in which the majority could oppress the minority. And he also recognized that, in economic terms, wealth confiscation is directly opposed to economic innovation.
Madison wasn't alone in this regard. The founders despised what they termed "faction." They didn't mean political parties — they meant, as Madison wrote in Federalist #10, "a number of citizens, whether amounting to a majority or a minority of the whole, who are united and actuated by some common impulse of passion, or of interest, adverse to the rights of other citizens, or to the permanent and aggregate interests of the community." The purpose of the Constitutional order was to check faction against faction, to prevent a combination of the majority against the minority.
And yet over the past century, America has moved away from this limited view of government. The majority, which has since time immemorial wanted to rob the richer minority, moved to rewrite the system to allow such wealth confiscation. They did it under the guise of fairness. But once the process is overthrown, the tyranny of the majority is no longer speculative: it is a living, breathing reality. If the majority decides on the purest form of wealth redistribution — from each according to his ability, to each according to his need — then that thievery and impediment to human progress is branded with the stamp of legitimacy.
America is no longer a republic. It is a thugocracy. So long as fairness of result trumps fairness of process — so long as a majority can trample the rights of a minority, then point at a simple majority vote as moral legitimation — America has lost its way.

First year results of an innovative new program to help City employees and their families live healthier were presented to City Council. Reported by City of Portland Human Resources staff and Moda Health, promising results of the Healthy Foundations program - such as a 50% reduction in Emergency Room visits - highlight a model that other employers could adopt to empower their employees to take steps to improve their health while reducing future health care trends.
For most health plans, a small percentage of enrollees require a lot of health care. This means spending on care for less than 5% of individuals accounts for about half of the total amount spent on all health plan participants. Moreover, the individuals in this group are often grappling with multiple chronic diseases. Chronic diseases are increasingly pervasive and expensive, but managing them with simple and consistent steps can yield significant health improvements and cost savings. Identifying those individuals with chronic diseases is a strategy health insurers and providers are calling "hotspotting," and the "hotspotters" approach one of the models used for the City's Healthy Foundations program.
In the City of Portland's CityCore plan administered by Moda Health, almost 48% of the total dollars spent in the last five years has been for individuals with claims over $20,000. The exact number of people with these very large claims varies, but the percentage ranged from 3.4% to 4.1% of those covered by the plan. Healthy Foundations seeks to improve the health of this relatively small group of people by offering comprehensive mobile chronic care management and personalized prevention and wellness goals.
The first year results are very encouraging. In addition to a 50% reduction in ER visits, 59% of people in the program lowered their prospective risk score. This is a positive outcome not just because participants have reduced their risk scores but because a person's risk score tends to increase over time as they age. Participants of the program also increased their use of preventive care methods, including the number of prescriptions. This makes sense since provider interventions had failed prior to participants' enrollment in Healthy Foundations. Overall, two-thirds of the active group in the program used less benefit dollars than in the prior plan year. All participants felt their health and quality of life had improved.
I'm thrilled the City is taking an innovative approach to employee wellness, and I'm grateful to the Moda Health team for their enthusiastic collaboration on the Healthy Foundations program. I look forward to continuing to work with my colleagues to identify other ways the City can get more from the health benefits we provide our employees. Good ideas are worth sharing, and I hope other local employers will take note of the City's innovations and actively engage in driving changes that reduce their own health care trends, leaving more money in their employees' paychecks and improving the overall health and vitality of our community.
