"Style is everything. I mean, the blues are three chords. But every guy that plays the blues plays differently, because that's their own style. Right?" —Skip Engblom
The open source software community is building a wall to contain Microsoft and other monopolistic forces, and middleware is the mortar.
It should come as no surprise, then, that the most important feature a piece of middleware should provide is the ability to wire together disparate subsystems and to allow systems to be broken down, so that specialized communities of developers can each focus on building their bricks, their pieces of the whole.
With enough of these communities working together, there are very few limits to what we'll build. Open source Java willdominate the enterprise market. The days of per-processor licensing fees will be gone forever. Medium-sized businesses and cottage industries all over the world will spring into a new life. The global 2000 enterprises from the 20th century will meet a hundred thousand reinvigorated family enterprises in the 21st. The era of big ideas is ending, and the insects shall inherit the earth.
Okay, seriously — that was a bit dramatic, but you get the point. Competition from the bottom will force the companies at the top to either lower their prices or dramatically improve the quality of their products and services to remain competitive. And open source software will play a driving role in that shift.
The goals of a framework (which qualifies as middleware because of its role in lacing together disparate information systems) were neatly outlined by one Dr. Trygve Reenskaug in the "Administrative Controls in the Shipyard" essay he presented at the ICCAS conference in 1973. The goals and principles he identified are as fresh and relevant today as they were 30 years ago. Dr. Reenskaug suggested that the goals of a framework were to support:
- Simplified manual override
- Division into modular subsystems
- Behavioral transparency of subsystems
- Pluggable subsystem modules
- The capability of continuous growth for the total system
But large systems are complex. The only hope for developers who wish to model them is to decompose the larger "total" system into subsystems, and then repeat the process for subsystems, breaking them down into role categories and objects that fulfill the requirements of those roles. In Java, the terms "interface" and "role" are practically interchangeable. Interfaces define the nature of an object but not its specifics, and can limit the scope of interactions between objects in the system according to their public roles. This both reduces the complexity of the system and makes it more flexible and extensible. Therefore, breaking down complex systems into families of interfaces is something we should at least attempt.
The Model, View, and Controller roles of the MVC architectural style have been offered as a means of categorizing components in web application frameworks, but in my previous article on this topic, I argued that the attempts to implement these distinctions have failed to show that this is a correct approach. The primary evidence of this failure is the absence of a single component framework that has managed to isolate the concerns of its components into Model, View, and Controller interfaces.
A correct approach would be to create a new hypothetical style that describes best practices already used in the problem space, instead of prescribing an architectural style from a distantly related problem space. Then the hypothetical new style should be tested through implementation. Any flaws uncovered in the style should be addressed in the refactoring stage, and the cycle repeats itself: hypothesize, implement, refactor.
If these principles are applied to the complex systems that drive dynamic web applications on the server side, we find a family of roles, which should be utterly unsurprising. The roles I outlined in my first article have themselves undergone a refactoring. I've renamed the
DataSource interface to
State because of confusion between it and
javax.sql.DataSource, and also removed the
Presentation interface entirely. Presentation components are officially beyond the scope of this problem space, but the representation of the application's state is not. At the suggestion of others in the community, I've added a
Representation role, which I'll describe in more detail below. After incorporating these changes, we are left with:
- Application
Statecomponents that maintain the incoming data.
Actioncomponents that can alter the
Workflowcomponents that decide the order in which
Actionobjects execute.
Representationsubsystem to limit the complexity of the
Statefor component developers by restructuring or "pre-chewing" the state to make it more intuitive for component developers.
Since writing the first article, I've been notified of a better term than "pattern" to describe what to call this collection of roles. It's just an "architectural style." Nothing more, and simply put. I call this architectural style WARS, which is very appropriate considering the use to which we put it in designing Java web apps.
I've yet to find a middleware/command-pattern/servlet/MVC (call it what you like) framework whose components can be neatly separated into implementations of
View, and
Controller interfaces. That isn't to say MVC is a hoax — not at all. It's absolutely great for building user interfaces. It just isn't the best way to describe the architectural style of our middleware systems. On the other hand, there is at least one middleware framework whose components implement the WARS architectural style. Its name is Shocks, and I wrote it as a proof of concept for this architectural style.
But before we get to that, I'd like to note that other frameworks, most notably Apache Cocoon, have already been using this architectural style (or something very close to it) for some time. Since I developed it by studying how things were actually being done in popular systems like Struts and Webwork, and by disregarding the MVC marketing speak, this should not come as a surprise. WARS is a descriptive term for what is already common practice and satisfies the principle of least astonishment.
It's just that we hadn't hit on the right words to describe it. Until now — or so I hope. An insightful (if somewhat aged) letter by Berin Loritsch in the Cocoon archives shows that the Cocoon project was aware of very similar concepts over two years ago — it just never crystallized into our lingua franca. Struts has been decomposing toward the commons-chain package for some time now, so this idea reinforces their work in that area and vice versa. WebWork introduced an extremely sophisticated state machine (in their value stack concept) quite a long time ago. My guess is that the terminology surrounding these ideas prevented them from taking wing. "The difference", wrote Samuel Clemens, "between the almost-right word and the right word is really quite a large thing. It's the difference between the lightning bug and the lightning." Whatever the case, I look forward with renewed interest to all their projects.
Having said that, I want to turn now toward my proof of concept — the Shocks framework. It's a far cry from perfect. But like the first hot air balloon flight in Paris, it has exciting and unexpected implications. There will be better versions, better implementations, evolution — there always is.
After all, you know what they say ...
Any Implementation Today
... Is better than a perfect implementation tomorrow. Already, based on advice from Craig McClanahan of the Struts project, dIon Gillard from Codehaus, and dozens of others, I've made significant changes to the internal structure of Shocks. What I have to present today is a step beyond simply getting "there and back again;" from the web page to one or more action classes that perform some kind of business logic, and back out to the user by way of some kind of presentation subsystem.
The internal architecture of Shocks is very simple and straightforward. There's a
shocks.wars package that contains the master interfaces. Figure 1 displays this arrangement.
Figure 1. Arrangement of
As you can see, the
Representation interface is quite shy. The idea for representation components was inspired by Greg Wilkins' recent blog entry about "contentlets" and Roy Fielding's Representational State Transfer architectural style.
A representation component will have access to the application's runtime state, but will not alter the state in any way. Instead, it'll harvest information from the state at runtime, restructure it for easy access, and make it available to a higher context — such as a data repository through JMX.
Representation components aren't action components, because they don't alter the state at runtime. They're not workflow components either, because they make no decisions about the execution of actions. And they're not really state components, because their job is not to passively store data — although the
State interface would be their closest relative. If anything, the
Representation interface serves as a protocol-neutral bridge between the application state and developers. If well-developed enough, it could completely shelter action and workflow components (and their developers) from the complexity of the state. So
Representation gets its own seat at the table.
State interface is also very minimal. I'm erring on the side of caution for the time being, and allowing other interfaces to extend the basic
Staterequirements. Implementations of those objects can be recast inside of the different
Action and
Workflowimplementations without cluttering up the method signatures with specific dependencies. A
toMap() method will probably be in order eventually. Both of
State's methods return
java.lang.Object, which likewise must be recast. This flexibility comes with an accompanying degree of complexity, which we'll explore more later.
Action interface is simple. Actions are given a reference to the
State and they don't return anything. Their role is to alter the
State in some way, or to trigger an external process as a result of the state. The other components in the framework make no assumptions about what actions actually do. A
Workflow component can check the state before and after an action has fired, and use that information to figure out what to do next, but has no other way of knowing what goes on therein.
Workflow implementations accept a reference to the
State object but, unlike
Action objects, they also return a
State reference. This is important, because it might not be the same
State as the one they received. Right now,
Workflow components examine the application state, decide what to do next, maybe fire off some actions, forward control to another
Workflowcomponent, and once they're done doing their thing, they give control back to whatever object called them. All they do is examine the state and decide whether or not to execute actions. By themselves, action objects aren't capable of deciding the order in which they execute. They can set a flag in the state, therebysuggesting the order, but ultimately, the workflow components make that decision.
The best part about
Workflow components is that the brunt of their decision-making functionality can be replaced with a JSR-94-compatible rules engine. In the future, the role of Shocks'
Workflow components will be to delegate decisions to that JSR-94 rules engine by way of JMX. The entire
Workflow engine will therefore be completely modular, extensible, and manageable.
The Client API
For action developers who use the framework, we've set aside the
shocks.client package. Its job is to abstract component developers from the internal complexities of the framework. At present, this package has three items in it. Figure 2 shows this design:
Figure 2. Arrangement of the
Shocks wouldn't be much of a framework if there weren't points of connection. Actions must have some way of getting at the internal state of the application at runtime. However, reducing the degree to which actions are dependent (or even aware) of the framework is one of our top priorities. People don't want their classes to be locked into a single framework — and who can blame them for that?
In the most absolute basic implementation, actions would only need to implement the
Action interface. But the goal that prompted me to develop the framework in the first place was the ability to trade actions between classloaders using JMX. To this end, the framework creates an instance pool in which actions are stored and managed. In addition to cloning the action instances for pooling, the framework sorts the instances by name and version. Toward this end, the
CachedAction interface extends
Action and
Cloneable, and also introduces two methods for getting and setting the action metadata.
The repository that manages
CachedAction instances is available through JMX and universally accessible from any classloader in the VM. This allows us to trade actions between WAR files and provide tools for managing the actions (fulfilling the manual override requirement from above), and allows application developers to revert to a previous action versions at runtime. If a new version of an action brings negative side effects to the system, the manual override should allow a developer or admin to roll the system back to an earlier, more stable version. But that sort of functionality comes at a price — action developers must abide by the
CachedAction interface or be willing to write a new repository mechanism with fewer interface requirements. Another great technique would be to implement a "dynamic action" that can map to a plain-old Java object (POJO). Of course, this could have negative effects on resources if the POJOs aren't pooled. Regardless, neither solution would be difficult to incorporate into the total system.
The clients package also contains my first feint toward a protocol-neutral state subsystem. Earlier versions passed the
HttpServletResponse, and
ServletContext directly into the action object through its
execute() method signature. In this implementation, the incoming
State parameter can be cast to an
EnvironmentContext, which provides access to commonly used Internet protocols. It certainly isn't the best way to do business, but it's good enough until we can write a better system.
A better system would aggregate all of the data in the
RuntimeState (which the framework uses internally, and which presently implements
EnvironmentContext) in a protocol-neutral manner, re-organize it all, and make it accessible to internal and external component developers. This is where the representation subsystem will come in. In other words, the role of
Representation components is to manage the interaction between developers and the application state. At that point, a more sophisticated state subsystem can be built without adding complexity for component developers.
There is another area in which the state subsystem is currently lacking. Families of actions (or workflow components, for that matter) can be coupled through their reliance upon values cached in the
RuntimeState. This is called "state-coupling," and it can be broken during development if one of the objects alters the key by which they refer to that mutually required value. When this occurs, it can result in runtime errors that are very difficult to track down and debug at compile time. Externalizing the application state and making it manageable could help with this, as could aggressive system-level unit testing. I'm laying out plans for a project to provide this capability.
The client package is completed by the
CachedActionSupport object, which provides a bare-bones implementation of
CachedAction, and handles the downcasting of
State to
EnvironmentContext so you don't have to. But you're certainly not required to use
CachedActionSupport. You can easily provide your own implementation of
CachedAction if you like, or write a new action repository mechanism (as mentioned above) if you don't.
Framework Architecture
The structure of the framework itself is very straightforward, as illustrated by Figure 3.
Figure 3. Arrangement of the
The main entry point into the framework is the
ShocksHttpServlet. Any sort of handler (like an SMTP handler or a SOAP handler) could also provide entry into the workflow system — this is just the default implementation. When initialized by the servlet container, the
ShocksHttpServlet triggers a loading mechanism that parses the shocks-workflow.xml file in the WAR file'sWEB-INF directory. All of the XML metadata from that file is loaded into a central repository, which binds it into
MDBeans and manages the details of instance pooling. The loading mechanism then uses these
MDBean objects to load
Action and
Filter objects, and combinations of the three to build
At runtime, the
ShocksHttpServlet pulls the command URI from the incoming request object, then packages it (along with the relevant protocol objects) into a new
RuntimeStateobject. That
RuntimeState object gets passed on to the
WorkflowController, which figures out what to do with it.
WorkflowController's job is made especially simple because of the way we pre-build and cache metadata and workflow sequences. It passes the command URI to a
MetadataRepository and gets a
MDBeancontaining all of the information about that command. The
WorkflowController then passes the
MDBeanas a key to a
SequenceRepository, and gets an appropriate
Sequence object, which is an ordered set of workflow components. The
WorkflowController can then forward to the
Sequence, which is a series of filters and a target action. Eventually, the flow returns to the
WorkflowController. When this happens, it puts the
Sequence back into the repository, examines the
RuntimeState, and decides what to do next.
Watching the framework hit the action and come back the first time was like watching a skateboarding legend like Tony Alva or Jay Adams hit the lip of a swimming pool. There and back is just the price of entry. The tricks you pull off while you're getting there and back, and your style — the way you pull those tricks off — that's what really matters.
As noted before, none of these tricks works quite the way I'd like, and a lot of the decision making could be farmed out to a rules engine like Drools. But this proves that the concept and the process are sound, that division of the entire system into a family of explicit rolescan be accomplished.
Framework Checklist
Now, after working through this design, how well does it address the five challenges set forth by Dr. Reenskaug? I'm going to grade our progress in this, but not on a curve compared to other projects.
Manual override: B
This is accomplished by making the workflow and action subsystems completely manageable through JMX. At present, it should be possible to override and direct the behavior of an application at runtime. When we plug the Drools engine in and write management hooks for that, we'll have even more fine-tuned control over the application workflow. The addition of state- and representation-management capabilities, as well as some really good UI tools, would drive the grade straight into "A" territory. Look for advances in those areas and a web-based application management suite sometime in the next year.
Modular subsystems: B
The total system has successfully been divided into modular subsystems, but the decoupling could be improved upon. A better representation subsystem could lead to much more developer-friendly environment, and we'll be working in this direction.
Behavioral transparency: B-
This is accomplished through the use of interfaces and access to a common
RuntimeState. There is a certain degree of state-coupling, because objects are tied to one another through the values stored therein. If one developer switches the name of an attribute in one object, it could wreak havoc across the entire system. Aggressive unit testing and an external state-management subsystem could simultaneously reduce complexity and raise transparency here (I got the idea from the Apache Cocoon list — it is by no means a novel concept).
Pluggable modules: B+
New features and functionality can be plugged into the framework as WAR files packed with useful
Actionobjects. Entire feature platforms that provide common functionality like form validation, type conversion, and JSF-style command processing can all be added to extend the core framework's functionality. The addition of the Drools workflow system will allow new Petri nets, or "workflow modules" to be plugged into the framework, as well. All of the current instance-pooling mechanisms are replaceable, but this process could be made even easier so that it requires no manipulation of framework class files at all.
Continuous growth: B
By reducing (and aiming to eliminate) the need for third-party subsystem developers to directly manipulate the framework source code, the framework allows the total system to grow with less friction. The core developers of the framework (no matter how good their intentions) represent a bottleneck that prohibits the introduction of functionality to the total system. We are actively working to reduce the need for framework developers to integrate changes into the total system. Eventually, this framework plus its third-party "feature platform" extensions plus your business logic extensions (all three comprise the total system) will be capable of continuous growth with a bare minimum of friction. The ability to break the application down into explicit subsystems is absolutely integral for this to even be possible.
Shocks is clearly not perfect, but that's alright. I just assumed I'd do everything wrong and that eventually every subsystem would need to be torn out and replaced with a better piece — most likely by a better developer. The challenge was to make that process easier, and also to explore new possibilities and expose myself to unexpected consequences. I think I've done that. There are no hard and fast rules in this game, and any absolute principles that might apply have not been identified. You can write something to cover the 80% use case, but that other 20% must be left to artists. If you give them hooks for incorporating their ideas into the whole, hopefully their jobs will be easier and everyone benefits.
The best we can hope for as designers is that every day we render obsolete the technology of the day before, or that we strike upon some guiding principles to help us along our way. With one another's help, I hope we continue doing just that. The tools we use in five years will not resemble the tools we use today. Hopefully, we can plug into each other's talents with better frameworks, and hopefully, this architectural style can help us more easily see how all the pieces fit together.
If not, that's alright too. We can always refactor and hone the style. Right?

Two groups — one in favor and the other opposed to Proposition No. 1 — have filed with the state's Public Disclosure Commission. Proposition No. 1 would authorize a classification change for the city from a noncharter code city and adopt a council-manager plan of government with the City of Port Orchard. Citizens for Professional Government, which favors Proposition No. 1, filed with the PDC on July 26 and listed Richard Peterson as treasurer, along with former councilman Fred Olin, chair, and Dick Ziglar, vice-chair. The opposing group — Port Orchard Citizens for Responsible Government filed on Oct. 2 with Gil Michael listed as treasurer. In past weeks, signs opposing Prop. No. 1 have popped up throughout the city — mostly near the downtown area, while fliers supporting the measure have been circulating. Citizens for Professional Government is listed with the PDC as a single-year political committee, while Port Orchard Citizens for Responsible Government has filed as an ongoing continuing committee. Both groups are under mini-reporting which means no more than $5,000 will be raised or spent, and no more than $500 will be accepted by one contributor, according to the PDC.

A Port Orchard resident accused two councilmembers and a current Port Orchard City Council candidate of attempting to change and influence distributions during the process of the Lodging Tax Advisory Committee in 2012, during residents comments at the Oct. 8 meeting. Resident Gil Michael noted during the past several year a pattern has developed of trying to influence the process of the Lodging Tax Advisory Committee to disburse funds. He cited a statement from Councilman Jerry Childs during the Sept. 17 council work session regarding this year's LTAC recommendations. During his eight-minute speech, Michael held copies of emails obtained from the city. He claimed Councilman Jerry Childs appeared to provided Kim Punt — a city council candidate — his recommendations prior to a September 2012 LTAC meeting. Residents' comments are limited to Michael three minutes each for items not up for public hearing, according to the agenda. According to the emails obtained, Michael claimed that Punt leaked the final results of the LTAC meeting to Childs and Councilwoman Cindy Lucarelli. Michael claimed the emails indicate that Childs and Lucarelli, and former Councilman Jim Colebank and City Attorney Greg Jacoby met at Childs' home prior to an Economic Development and Tourism Committee meeting. He claimed Lucarelli set up the meeting. He also claimed the city attorney billed the city for the meeting, but did not charge the city from a September 2012 billing statement. "All these things happened before the LTAC results were officially presented to the council," Michael said.

She said that's not all bad because the district saved more than it anticipated in its last fiscal year, which ends Aug. 31.

The South Kitsap School District is a little closer to closing its $2.9 million deficit for the upcoming school year. Terri Patton, assistant superintendent for business and support services, said at Wednesday's school board meeting that the district won't replace five full-time custodians who left the district after the last school year. She said that will save the district $250,000. Patton said the deficit stems from unforeseen circumstances when the district presented its last levy to voters in 2004.

Improvisation Games for Classical Musicians
500+ Non-jazz Games for Performers, Educators, and Everyone Else
by Jeffrey Agrell
500+ Non-jazz Games for Performers, Educators, and Everyone Else
Why don't classical musicians improvise? Why do jazz players get to have all the fun? And how do they develop such fabulous technique and aural skills?
With these words, Jeffrey Agrell opens the door to improvisation for all non-jazz musicians who thought it was beyond their ability to play extemporaneously. Gently, step-by-step, Agrell leads through a series of games, rather than exercises. The game format takes the pressure off of classically trained musicians, steering them away from their fixation on mistake-free performance and introducing the basic concepts of playing with music itself instead of obsessing over a perfect rendition of a written score.
Agrell draws a startling analogy with sports that illustrates the absurdity of the traditional approach to classically-oriented music performance:
Imagine if basketball were played the way we perform music today.... The greatest games would be recorded and aspiring players would be required to learn a pro's every move by reading a description of each move from a written chart. Nothing unplanned or unknown would be allowed to happen. No invention in the moment. No individual expression of ideas. No risking a series of less-than-perfect moves for the sake of imaginative play.
Starting with simple scale fragments, Agrell shows the way to break this artificial way of thinking about music making with an innovative approach to the business of creating melody, harmony, and rhythm, while working in tandem with others. This extensive collection of 566 games is for anyone and everyone who wants to learn to improvise, but has been afraid to try.
Improvisation Games for Classical Musicians can be used by solo individuals, groups from two to sixteen or more, and in classroom settings.
Jeffrey Agrell teaches horn, directs the Horn Choir, coaches chamber music, and performs in the Iowa Brass Quintet at the University of Iowa.
What is being said about Improvisation Games for Classical Musicians?
Jeffrey Agrell's Improvisation Games for Classical Musicians is one of the most inspiring and innovative books I have come across since reading John Steven's revolutionary Search and Reflect fifteen years ago...For those musicians who have never improvised, Agrell provides a huge number of easily accessible and comprehensible ways to get involved with the process...The book is a real "must read" for music educators (either in private tuition or in ensemble settings) who want to open up their students' understanding of the real creative possibilities of music. It will be equally useful to any musicians of any level of experience who wish to expand the creative and expressive range of their playing.
—Jared Burrows, PhD
Resonances: Exploring Improvisation and Its Implications for Music Education
Improvisation Games for Classical Musicians by Jeffrey Agrell is an amazing contribution to both the education and enjoyment of all who are interested in musical performances of any kind. The design, the content, and especially the manner in which Agrell has presented his wildly creative materials is brilliant. Add to that the fact that what this book addresses is the most neglected and perhaps the most important aspect of classical musical growth. With this book teachers and performers alike have a wide open door to years of exploration and learning in how to express themselves through their music and free themselves from a total dependance on the printed page and the deeply ingrained traditions of the classical music traditions....

Surgeons at Scott & White Healthcare in Texas are the first to use a minimally invasive robot-assisted procedure to remove small tumors on the adrenal glands, and do so by entering from the patient's back. A study on the feasibility of this approach will be published in the next Journal of Endourology.
The adrenal gland produces hormones that protect the body against stress, as well as regulate salt and water balance in the body. Small tumors in the adrenal gland, which are most often benign, can cause hormone overproduction that affects other organs and makes a person sick.
Terry C. Lairmore, M.D., F.A.C.S., is director of surgical oncology at Scott & White Healthcare in Temple, Texas; he is a professor of surgery at the Texas A&M Health Science Center College of Medicine.
"Our study demonstrates the feasibility and safety of robot-assisted PRA," says Dr. Lairmore. "Further study and experience will be required to determine whether there are definite advantages to this new technique."
Dr. Lairmore's co-investigators and collaborators for the study were Dr. Samuel Snyder, Dr. Aaron Ludwig, Dr. Kristofer Wagner, Dr. Patrick Lowry, and Dr. Harry Papaconstantinou at Scott & White.
Since the first robot-assisted PRA operation was performed at Scott & White, the procedure has been performed in other centers.

After that trip, Garrett named LSU his leader, a title the Tigers never lost. Garrett started taking official visits once football season started. Gainesville, Knoxville and Oxford were his first three stops before he returned to Baton Rouge on Nov. 23 for the Tigers' game against Texas A&M. That visit marked Garrett's parents' first trip to LSU, and the coaches did all they needed to sell the entire family on what they had to offer. Garrett made a silent commitment to the staff before leaving then made his decision official on Dec. 17.
Garrett finished the 2014 recruiting cycle as the nation's No. 1 MLB, a no-brainer five-star prospect. He already looks like a SEC linebacker and his play on the field mirrors that. Garrett is an absolute monster between the sidelines, even though he's one of the nicest guys you'll meet off the field. Garrett's a physical specimen that plays downhill and fills the rushing lanes with authority. He's a sure tackler that rarely misses when he gets his hands on the ballcarrier.
Garrett fits the prototypical mold for a MIKE backer in John Chavis' defense. While it may take some time for him to pick up on the intricacies of the college game, Garrett has the potential to step in and play immediately. How quickly he adapts to the next level could determine how big an impact he makes in 2014.

Browns Notes from Training Camp Day 3
- The loudest cheer of the day from the sold out crowd came on an interception from rookie CB Justin Gilbert. Gilbert with pads on looks much bigger then most of the other cornerbacks on the roster. His speed also catches your eye right away.
- Gilbert caught a few kick offs during practice but Coach Pettine said that Gilbert would only be used in that type of situation only in an emergancy. But Gilbert said he'd love the opportunity.
- 3rd year saftey Johnson Bedemosi threw his shoulder into a defenseless receiver late in practice and Coach Pettine instantly told him that's not the way to treat a teammate. Pettine wants his team to be tough but to take care of each other.
- The team was in pads today but the hitting was minimal. On Thursday the team will tackle during goal line drills. This has the players excited as Im sure the coaches are a tad nervous. Pettine said that ever stop he has made in the NFL there has been some form of tackling. It hasnt happen out here in Berea in at least 8 years.
- Play of the day had to go to rookie LB Chris Kirksey who picked off Johnny Manziel during a drill late in practice and returned it for what whould have been a touchdown.
-Manziel struggle again on a day that felt more like October then July. Manziel seemed to struggle within the pocket as the game is speeding up. This all could be just getting aclimated to the professional game and learning the scheme. But it's obvious to most observers that Brian Hoyer is leading early on during this camp.

Hi, Rui,
this is another possibility:

g[{x_, y_}] := {x, y/2} // N;
(* ...to be mapped on the list *)

Have fun, Alexei
Hi Rui,
The methods you listed are perfectly fine IMO. You may want to consider a
rule-based solution as well:
In[1]:= Replace[{{a, 5}, {b, 6}, {c, 7}}, {a_, b_} :> {a, b/2}, 1]
Out[1]= {{a, 5/2}, {b, 3}, {c, 7/2}}
Using ReplaceAll may fail in some cases since the rule based on generic
patterns may sometimes be applied one level higher than desired:
In[3]:= {{a, 5}, {b, 6}} /. {a_, b_} :> {a, b/2}
Out[3]= {{a, 5}, {b/2, 3}}

Barbarian microbrewery starts craftbeer revolution in Lima
by Diego M. Ortiz
Three friends from Lima turned their hobby of brewing into a full-fledged beer company. Now these "Barbarians" are set to start a craft beer revolution in Peru.
Out in the Molina District there are three friends who grew tired of drinking the same hackneyed industrial beers every weekend. They wanted something more, so they started up their own brewery. Now they're the owners of Cervecería Barbarian, a craft brewery business that's growing faster than the three friends could have ever imagined.
The group of friends, Diego Rodriguez, Juan Diego Vasquez, and Ignacio Schwalb, are self-desrcibed "beer geeks." After finishing university they started brewing on the weekends as a hobby. Their first batch was only 3 liters and now they're making around 1,00 liters per month, with the goal of making 5,000 liters per month once they move to their new plant.
That's pretty impressive for a group of guys in their mid-twenties who started brewing out of their parents\' garage a few years ago.
"This all started after I came back from studying in the U.S. and seeing how popular the craft beers were up there," Rodriguez said. "We figured it's cheaper for us to make the beer we like ourselves than buying it in the store. We all said, 'let's do it.'"
Around the same time they met a Chilean friend who helped them get the necessary ingredients: malt, hops, and yeast. All which are hard to find in Lima.
The first batch they made changed the way the saw things. They decided to get serious about their recipe and little by little they kept improving their technique, correcting their mistakes along the way and increasing the size of their batches. As the equipment improved so did the beer.
With Vasquez and Schwalb's background as industrial engineers they started building their own brewing equipment. They traded in Vasquez's mom's pots for stainless steel barrel used for fermenting their malt.
The three owners of Barbarian at their current plant in la Molina. (photo: facebook)
By the end of 2011, after months of refining the recipe, the guys were ready to reveal their first craft beer to the world: Barbarian Red Ale.
Using Rodriguez's experience in business and financing, they managed to register their business and convinced the owners of Cañas y Tapas Bar, in Miraflores, to sell their beer. The Red Ale sold out on the first night it was on tap.
Banking on the success of Barbarian Red Ale, the group has added two more beers to their selection: Porter Chaski and 174 IPA.
It all started with the Red Ale, which the guys describe as the easiest to drink. It goes down smooth and doesn't have a very bitter taste.
"We think this is the best option for the Peruvian consumer to be introduced to the craft beer market," Rodriguez said. "It's less bitter than our other selection and it's perfect for the consumer to adapt."
At 6.5 percent alcohol by volume, Red Ale has a distinctive red amber glow that comes from the caramelized malts they use. They blend four different kinds of hops, which give the Red Ale a rich aroma.
"Since we started making beer, we decided that we would never be content with making an OK product," the Barbarian team says. "We like what's original and extreme, that's what this beer and Barbarian is about."
The next beer on tap for the Barbarian boys was the Chaski Porter. Like a good strong porter it's got a full dark color, and Chaski has a taste of coffee and dark chocolate.
They call it Chaski, like the ancient Incan running messengers, because they think it would've been the ideal beer for those tired runners to drink to get their energy up on their long journeys around the empire.
"This is the perfect beer to drink after a stressful day at work," the Barbarian team says. "We made it to help you recharge."
Like Red Ale, it also has 6.5 percent alcohol by volume, but its unique in that it's soaked in powerful toasted malts and combines the classic English style of chocolate with "Barbarian strength."
The third beer on the Barbarian craft beer menu is the most powerful to date. I'm talking about their 174 IPA.
It packs a punch with 8 percent alcohol by volume and so much malts and hops that your taste buds will start to overload.
"This is our best beer," Rodriguez said. "It's got a rich and full after taste that isn't found in any other beer in Peru."
The three friends who started Barbarian, Rodriguez, Vasques, and Schwalb, are working to make Barbarian the standard-bearer of Peruvian craft beers. Earlier this year they purchased a patch of land where they're currently building a 500 square-meter brewery and bottling house.
They plan to move in by the middle of this year. They hope to start producing 5,000 liters per month by the end of the year, and soon they'll start bottling their own product. Eventually, they'll open a chain of brewpubs where they'll showcase their beer selection.
"This has never been about the money; it's a passion," Rodriguez says. "We're beer geeks— this is what we do."
You can try Barbarian Craft Beers for yourself at: Cañas y Tapas Bar, Restaurant Chez Phillipe, Astrid y Gastón Restaurant, Heinsley Café Bar, Lima Rugby Restobar, and American Embassy Café.

Is There a Rift Growing Between the U.S. & Poland?
President Obama is traveling to Poland this week to celebrate the nation's 25 years of political independence from the Soviet Union. But the Poland he arrives in is much cooler about its American ally than was the case a quarter century ago.
Polish analysts quoted in advance of Obama's arrival in Warsaw say that Poles are much more concerned about Europe than they are America, and Poles are less likely to rely on U.S. promises of support in the Ukraine crisis.
Is there a subtle but growing divergence of interests between Poland and the United States?
Anne Applebaum, foreign affairs columnist for the Washington Post, says that Poland's relationship with the U.S. is going through a natural readjustment.
"The Poles get tens of millions of Euros every year from Europe for development in the form of trade, and their relationship with the U.S. is a little bit more distant, both naturally and geographically," says Applebaum. "The Poles are waiting for a more concrete commitment from the United States to the security of the region."
While symbolic gestures are appreciated, Applebaum says that Poland is looking for something more substantive.
"I think people would really like to see a permanent base of U.S. troops in the region," she says. "It doesn't have to be Poland, it could be Estonia or it could be Romania. [Poles want] some indication that NATO, and particularly the North American piece of NATO, understands that the calculus of geopolitics has changed."
Applebaum says that the Polish desire for an American military commitment comes partly because Poland provided support to the U.S. during the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. In Afghanistan, Poland committed troops the the U.S. effort, and actually ran a sector of Iraq.
"Other nations in the region also felt that they've supported the U.S. several times in the last couple of decades, and they would like to know what that means—is there a return for it, does the United States still feel committed to peace in Europe?" says Applebaum.
Though the purpose of Obama's trip is to celebrate Poland and commemorate D-Day, Applebaum says this visit does set up some expectations for the future.
"I don't think there's a negative tone to the meeting, but I do think now and over the next few months, people are expecting an American and a higher-level European commitment to this region," she says. "We now have a different set of security issues in Europe, and I think Europeans and particularly central Europeans would like the U.S. to shift its policy to reflect that."

Stylist: PamRating:
Wow! I received a card from Ouidad announcing that this salon had a certified stylist. Months later, I rather impulsively scheduled an appointment with Pam and am so glad I did! Pam took quite a bit of bulk from the bottom of my med-long 3a curls and shaped up the curls that frame my face. I let her use her own product choices and I felt terrific about my hair when I left the salon - and that RARELY happens, LOL! It is such a relief to have someone in SW Ga that I can trust to cut my hair. Pam will be seeing me again!

Australia fashion week trimmed by economic blues
SYDNEY (Reuters Life!) - Australia's fashion week was thinner this year as the global economic crisis crimped designers and buyers' participation, but the catwalk remained an explosion of colors amid optimism that spending will pick up.
Organizers of the 14th Australian Fashion Week that began Monday said the event was 15 percent smaller than last year, with 41 shows and two rather than three catwalks, which mirrored cuts in the fashion capitals of London, Paris, New York and Milan.
Some of the biggest names in Australian fashion were notably absent from the five-day lineup of spring and summer fashions such as Akira, Michelle Jank, Alex Perry, and Bettina Liano.
Big names left on the schedule were Sass & Bide, Camilla and Marc, Wayne Cooper, Nicola Finetti, Zimmerman, Kirrily Johnston and Lisa Ho while Dion Lee won high praise for his catwalk debut.
Organizer Simon Lock, who founded the event in 1995 but sold it to New York-based marking company IMG in 2005, said the numbers were down this year but the mood was upbeat with forecasts of spending rebounding later this year and into 2010.
"We certainly aren't seeing dark and demure collections as the media seems to think fits the times. We're seeing a lot of really directional fashion with lots of great colors and inspirational collections," he told Reuters.
Retail analyst IBISWorld has forecast Australian clothing exports falling 2.4 percent to $322.5 million this financial year as consumers in the United States, Europe and Asia buy less high-value Australian fashion exports.
IBISWorld's general manager Robert Bryant said this meant that Australian retailers and brands positioned at the luxury, high-value end of the market would struggle.
"As ... so-called recessionistas turn to mid-market brands for more affordable options, revenue within the top end of Australia's fashion field is likely to fall by 19 percent this year," Bryant wrote in a report released as fashion week began. Continued...

This new report from the NOAA Drought Task Force highlights the crucial role NOAA research plays in advancing our ability to prepare for and react to drought. Click here to learn more...
Lead: Marty Hoerling, NOAA ESRL
Co-Lead: Mark Svoboda, University of Nebraska, Drought Mitigation Center
Co-Lead: Eric Wood, Princeton University
Co-Lead: Randy Koster, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center
This Drought Task Force is follow-up to the first group, which was established in October 2011 and ran until September 2014. The overall goals of the NOAA Drought Task Force are to achieve significant advances in understanding and in the ability to monitor and predict drought over North America. The Task Force is an initiative of NOAA's Climate Program Office Modeling, Analysis, Predictions, and Projections (MAPP) program. The research results are expected to help advance basic understanding of drought mechanisms, official national drought products, the development of early warning systems by the National Integrated Drought Information System (NIDIS), and experimental drought monitoring and prediction activities and tools for operational and service purposes as part of the National Centers for Environmental Prediction's (NCEP) Climate Test Bed. The Task Force will coordinate with other relevant national and international efforts including the emerging National Multi-Model Ensemble (NMME) capabilities, and the international effort to develop a Global Drought Information System (GDIS).
This Drought Task Force started its activities in October 2014 and will have a duration of three years.
Research Objectives
In the following we describe the issues underlying our key research objectives in more detail.
This NOAA Drought Task Force/NIDIS report details the results of an extensive multi-research-group analysis of the causes and predictability of the drought. The report finds that the exceedingly warm and dry conditions that caused the drought were due to a high pressure ridge off the west coast of the United States influenced heavily by anomalous sea surface temperatures. These influences are attributed to natural variability.

Summit Up 10-24-12: What's your name again?
October 23, 2012
Good morning a welcome to Summit Up, the world's only daily column that is wondering how many people in our lives we call by the wrong name.
It's not that we don't try to remember people's names, but when you meet as many peeps out there as we do, it can get a little nerve-racking. Since as journalists we're supposed to have a steel trap for a memory, it can be a little embarrassing when we stumble or bumble our way through someone's name, or worse yet call them by an altogether different moniker than they have ever known.
MILLIONS OF SUMMIT UP READERS: Why don't you do what everybody's mother told them to do and repeat the person's name after meeting them?
SUMMIT UP: That sounds far too practical for our standards. Perhaps with all the great advancements in technology in the last century someone has come up with a device to make remembering names easy peasy lemon squeezy?
(sound of googling)
MSUR: They have, it's called a name tag. But the fact remains that you can't require everyone to wear one when out in public.
SU: While you were expounding on the validity of universal name tags we managed to go a little research of our own. It says on this ol' website we found – theartofmanliness.com – that there are multiple devices a "gentleman" can use to etch those names to memory (we're pretty sure that the techniques are equally as effective for the fairer sex as well). We think that we'll use the ol' "visualize the person's name on their forehead" approach.
Well, that's all we have got today. If you see us out and we stare intently at your forehead, don't take it personally, we're just trying to remember your name.

Sheikh Hamdan lambasts Meydan Tapeta surface
Thursday 27 March 2014
By Geoffrey Riddle at Meydan
Sheikh Hamdan has launched a scathing attack on the Tapeta surface that is to stage the 19th running of the $US 10million Dubai World Cup at Meydan on Saturday.
Also run on the surface will be the $US2 million Dubai Golden Shaheen, the $US2 million UAE Derby and the $1 million Godolphin Mile, in which the Sheikh's Soft Falling Rain bids to defend the crown he won so gutsily 12 months ago.
Sheikh Hamdan was crowned champion owner of the Dubai World Cup Carnival at the post-position draw at Meydan on Wednesday and runs Mukhadram in the world's most valuable race.
Mukhadram is Sheikh Hamdan's first runner in the World Cup since the race move to Meydan in 2010 from Nad Al Sheba, where Invasor won for him in 2007.
Mukhadram has worked at Kempton on the Polytrack in preparation for his bid to secure his first Group One but the UAE's Minister of Finance does not feel that the experience is necessarily adequate.
"Honestly, if you ask me, I'll be happier if the race is run on grass as Mukhadram hasn't run on Tapeta. Tapeta is very different to all synthetic tracks.
Warming to his theme, he added at a specially convened media briefing that was published in Gulf News: "Some horses don't mind and can adapt, others don't.
"Not all horses give their best on the surface where the ground conditions change every few metres.
"New horses to the surface shorten their strides and don't stretch naturally.
"It is also inconsistent: It's slow in the morning and fast in the evening.
"I believe they add 20 per cent of cushion each year but that makes it very shallow.
"It was a good track in the first year, but has changed in recent years."
At Wednesday's post-position draw Haggas said, like most trainers with horses without experience of the surface this week: "We don't have a clue about the surface, and we won't know until Saturday evening."
Tapeta is installed at two racecourses in America; Golden Gate Fields and Presque Isle Downs. There is also a track installed at the Fairhill training facility in Maryland, where Tapeta inventor Michael Dickinson is based. It is where Animal Kingdom trained ahead of becoming the first American horse to prevail in the World Cup since the race moved from Nad Al Sheba for 2010.
Godolphin also have several Tapeta training tracks.
Sheikh Hamdan's comments come at a time when rumours are swirling the corridors of Meydan that the Tapeta surface is going to be ripped up and replaced with dirt.
Dickinson refused to comment at the lavish Breakfast With The Stars morning track work event at Meydan on Wednesday, but has previously vigorously defended Tapeta.
"When the Dubai World Cup was run on dirt some years it had a tendency to have three American dirt horses and three Al Maktoum horses, and there weren't that many others from around the world," he said last month. "That is easy to understand because America is the only major racing nation to race on dirt.
"Dirt racing has shown many times that it can't function without a shed load of drugs.
"The global racing public have shown their disapproval of drugs and injuries."
Despite Animal Kingdom's facile success in the World Cup last year, the US challenge is muted for Saturday's extravaganza and it is the first time the US are without a runner in the UAE's feature event since Cigar scored in the inaugural race in 1996.
When the race was staged on dirt at Nad Al Sheba, America virtually shared the World Cup with Godolphin.
They won eight of the 14 World Cups staged at the former racecourse, with Godolphin trainer Saeed Bin Suroor winning five. Sir Michael Stoute was the only other trainer to succeed there when Singspiel won the postponed race in 1997.
Since the race was staged on Tapeta at Meydan, however, winners have come from France, Japan, Godolphin and America, highlighting the surface creates opportunities for the world to compete on an equal footing.
"The race is not as strong as it used to be and that's because the Americans are not here. They prefer the old track," Sheikh Hamdan added.
"If you ask me, I think the strongest race on the card is the Dubai Sheema Classic. It has attracted the best horses from Britain, Europe and Far East. This is what the World Cup should look like.
"The Dubai Duty Free is always a strong race and this year is no different."

Lighting and painting...lighting the deal breaker?
Working on my '55 Chevy truck again with some regularity. Finally have the welding out of the way and I've started the filler work at which I've always been comfortable. After a day or two of long board sanding I like to shoot some epoxy primer to get a good look at the body work and get some time in with the gun.
I shot 2 gravel panels with black epoxy primer that were in a not well lit section of the garage..a lot of runs...no surprise right? Then I shot the back of the cab white epoxy primer..only one section sagged a bit but I realized as I stroked the gun that I would loose the wet/dry edge often. Instead of using my eye to time how fast I moved the gun over the surface, I had to guestimate my speed. This is something I have to resolve before paint day this summer. Final color will be Omaha Orange(BC/CC)
There must be a science to lighting for painting. Florescent OK? If not what else? Where located and how many?
I also bought a 13 x 27 party tent with side plastic windows last year for possible use as a paint booth. I assume natural lighting might be the best? Would be a pain in the *** to put up but if it's the best way I'll do it.
Any ideas on keeping the wet edge in sight would be appreciated.
Florescent lighting is ok, in every booth that i have used thats what they use, but they use about 4 sets on each side, with 4 bulbs in each set, then a few across the top, remember the better the light the better you will be able to see what your doing, and the better your results will be i have use some redneck booths where i just set up some flood lights
IF you use the party tent I suggest you only use the frame work. Instead of using its cover, use clear 6 mil visqueen plastic.
Fluorescent bulbs usually give off a green cast. Sodium vapor give off yellow, and regular incadecants are a little on the red side.
When you buy your bulbs make sure you are getting "daylight" bulbs or or lamps. They are balanced to try and resemble actual daylight. That is because it has a lot of blue in the light.
You may already know this but I would suggest using all the same color primer, and that it be grey or white if you are going to shoot orange over it.
If you shoot orange over blake it will take a LOT more color to cover the black, and the lighter primer will help it kinda PUNCH a little better.
And one more thing.......real paint booth lighting is "sealed" in an attempt to make it explosion proof. If you are painting and should back into a bulb and break it.....and the paint/thinnner/vapor/fumes are just right you could have a rather nice EXPLOSION. Electrical outlets are also a no-no because when you pull a plug or insert one there is always a little spark.
I have shot a lot of stuff in small garages, with bad ventilation, and just florecent fixtures propped up against the wall, and have never had a problem but there is a REASON every code in the country requires explosion proof lighting.....I think.
At any rate I never risked someone else's or someone else's cars safety doing it. It was just me and my stuff.
I would never suggest that anyone not take the greatest of precautions against creating an explosion. But I'm just curious as to documented, real life incidents of a hobby painter blowing themselves up and the conditions which caused any such accidents.
Always learning...and sharing what I've learned.
To view links or images in signatures your post count must be 10 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.
I had a bunch of lights when I painted mine. Like 13 4' double fluorescents.
It still wasnt enough.
I think the key is to not have a shadow anywhere.
If you can see a shadow when you move your gun over the car, you will lose the edge.
Thank God for color sanding.
It saved mine.
I noticed booths often have the lights in the ceiling corners mounted at a 45° angle..Not directly pointed down. I was wondering about mounting 4 of those lights construction people use like when then do sheet rocking-they throw alot of heat thou..anyway some kind of spot lights mounted to a makeshift board...say 12 ft long...one on each side of the garage mounted at the ceiling corners at a 45° angle.
some painters will wear sunglasses when painting whites to help see that wet edge
These might be a big help

"Make It Right" Takes Wrong Step in Selection of Sustainable Materials
"Actor Brad Pitt's Make It Right Foundation, which has built 100 energy-efficient new homes in the Hurricane Katrina-ravaged Lower 9th Ward, is considering legal action against the manufacturer of an innovative glass-infused wood that was used in some of the homes' outdoor steps and front porches," reports Richard Thompson. "The wood has begun rotting, despite being guaranteed for 40 years, a Make It Right spokeswoman said."
"The situation is a cautionary tale for nonprofit home builders and others interested in using cutting-edge, sustainable construction techniques, several home building and environmental experts said. The risks inherent in using innovative products must be balanced against considerations such as energy costs, the experts said."
"It doesn't surprise me at all that they will run into some blind alleys like this, where they have to go in and regroup," said Robert Thomas, director of Loyola University's Center for Environmental Communication. "It's to be expected, but I applaud them for looking at products that don't have chemicals that may be dangerous."

2009 Villard Collines Rhodaniennes Contours Deponcins Viognier
Retail: $30.00
$27.98per bottle
Product Description:
"Fragrant and as it should be. Lots of apricot and peach on the nose and then a fine almond-kernel bitter freshness on the palate. Dry but quite rich. Well judged. (JH)" (11/10) -16.5 out of 20 points, Jancis Robinson's Purple Pages
"Known as a Condrieu "master", Francois has grown his tiny domaine from 4 to 7 hectares and still produces a minuscule amount of highly allocated bottling. Referred to by Robert Parker as one of the few "stars" of the Northern Rhone, Francois has recently acquired a small parcel in Cote-Rotie and a few areas in St. Joseph."
"Formerly a chef, Francois brings his brings his complex palate to the winery to produce wines of power and grace that age for years. Francois Villard's strategy is to allow for the most optimal ripening period possible."
"His wines, as a result, are rich and concerted with complex aromas of peaches, apricots, honeysuckle, and honey for the whites and leather and spice for the reds/ The whites are often allowed to develop botrytis and most of the wines pass though wood aging for an extended amount of time to prepare them for a very long life in bottle." -Importer

My Linux mug is starting to crack.
It's not really a Linux mug, but Joe Barr gave me this present some years ago (when I was still with LinuxWorld), which was an oversized coffee mug with handpainted penguins and snowflakes on it. It's now starting to show some cracks after many, many times in the microwave.
My wife thinks its a Christmassy thing since it has snowflakes and penguins on it, although I think of it as a Linux thing because of the penguins and snowflakes (it's cool!). Funny how different a meaning it gives to each of us.
Also years ago, I tried convincing an analyst that there was a market for multi-player games. In 1995 that was a hard thing to prove. PC and console based games were far ahead of the text-based MUDs, MOOs, MUSHes, etc. that were around. However, a PC player long used to playing by themselves would either get it (fun with friends), or miss the point entirely ("this is so graphics-primitive!"). No one quite believed that people would actually pay to play on a regular basis.
By 1999 the time finally came for a new generation of graphical multiplayer games and MMORPGs. Another 5 years later it's widespread. In five more years it'll be almost difficult to consider a world without MMORPGs.
I guess I hadn't quite learned the business-language needed to convince folks.
same thing, different views
