We are pleased to announce the release of Adobe LiveCycle Enterprise Suite 3 (ES3). LiveCycle ES3 contains the document and data services capabilities, including electronic forms and business processes, which were formerly part of the Adobe Digital Enterprise Platform (ADEP), a brand that is being retired.
The new LiveCycle ES3 release incorporates:
LiveCycle offers a number of components that help extend the value of existing back-end systems by better engaging users, streamlining processes, managing correspondence, and strengthening security.
Read the complete post at http://blogs.adobe.com/livecycle/2012/03/livecycle-es-3-release-now-available.html.
Solutions over ADEP have introduced the concept of an application context (aka app context), which can be seen as a unique identifier, that various server side modules use to identify the execution context (from the current execution thread) and process requests in context of that solution. For instance, when persisting content/assets onto the CRX repository, the platform's persistence module (official known as Platform Content) uses the current (invoking) app context to determine where to store the content/assets, and what configurations to use (which would typically be different for different solutions). See snapshot below, indicating the solution specific content areas.
Note that the storage location is /content/apps/cm for Correspondence Management, and /content/apps/icr for Integrated Content Review, which happen to be the app contexts for the two solutions.
Since it is essential for the server to identify the execution context, if you do not set or establish the application context before you make calls to the solution APIs, you will encounter a server error that says : "Unable to fetch application context". To set the app context, use one of the two methods:
If you are invoking a solution API from a flex application, ensure that you set the app context using:
var appToken:AsyncToken = com.adobe.ep.ux.content.services.search.lccontent.LCCQueryServiceFactory.getInstance().setAppContextService("/content/apps/cm"); // setting app context for the CM solution
appToken.addResponder(new mx.rpc.Responder(<your success handler>, <your fault handler>));
If you are invoking a solution API from a java based application, ensure that you set the app context using:
com.adobe.livecycle.content.appcontext.AppContextManager.setCurrentAppContext("/content/apps/cm"); // setting app context for the CM solution
The app context concept is also used (or rather leveraged) in other scenarios such as driving solution specific Building Block (BB) configurations. Since a Building Block is meant to be reusable across solutions, it exposes certain configurations that can be different for different solutions. Hence, the BB needs to behave differently depending upon the context in which it is being used or invoked. Below is an example where the Data Dictionary BB is used by two solutions – CM and ICR – and has configurations specific to each solution, lying within the solution's specific app context – /apps/cm for CM and /apps/icr for ICR.

Recently I have been seeing reports of stalled / failed processes, both short-lived and long-lived. It turns out that in some cases, the process developers were updating processes on their live systems without taking due precautions. The following post is to explain what is actually happening under the hood, and why you can't simply "hot change" a process.
Imagine you have a process called MyNotify with two steps in it: a first task (not start point) AssignUser, and a second task SendEmail. Pretty straight forward.
You have deployed this process, and process instances are merrily being kicked off. Great. Now you realize that you don't want the AssignUser task; rather, you want a Workspace Start Point. Remove the AssignUser task, configure the Workspace Start Point to open the same form as you had in the now deletd AssignUser task. Save and deploy.
You may now start getting calls from your users saying their form submission never resulted in an email. Upon investigating, you will likely find errors saying that "Job ID could not be found for Job […]".
Oh no. What happened?
Let's wind back to where there were two steps. When a process instance is kicked off, what happens is that an entry in the database is made saying that process MyNotify has been kicked off by user "Alice" (for example), and it has been assigned to Alice, in the AssignUser task.
When Alice submits the form, LiveCycle goes to its database and checks the process – Alice just submitted the AssignUser step, so it checks MyNotify for an AssignUser step, and figures out what to do next from that.
If you have deleted the AssignUser task from MyNotify, LiveCycle will be unable to determine what to do next – and stall the process instance. Future instances should work fine (they are before the change point), anything that was at the SendEmail point in the process will be fine as well (they are after the change point). It is specifically process instances that are in a state that could be affected by the change that risk failure, and that will happen without possibility of roll-back or recuperation (bar performing some incantations in the database to recuperate the data, and then constructing some half-processes to mimick pre-change parts of the changed process, in the hope of pushing the data onwards — a lot of avoidable hassle, itself prone to failure).
It is understandable that you may think that if the process were modified, already-running processes would continue with the older version. This is not so, or at least, not in this scenario.
When kicking off a new process instance, LiveCycle does not automatically make a copy of the process to be followed should a new edit of the process come into existence. Maintaining a copy of all the configurations of a process for each instance created would cause extremely severe performance issues on the server, so a more de-coupled implementation serves best. The work of ensuring that a new copy of the process configuration is created is left up to the process developer.
Once a process is deployed, there are only two "safe" ways of updating the process.
The first is to create a new Application version, and when all the new changes are made, deploy the new version.
Once you have ascertained for sure that NO more processes from the old version are running, and that no applications rely on the old version, you can safely undeploy it from runtime, and delete it if you so wish.
Having done this, all references to sub-processes inside the same application will be updated, as will all resources referenced relatively inside the application. For example, MyApplication/1.0/ProcessA can reference /FormA (in Assign User tasks for example) which means "the current application's version's FormA". A sub-process on the process-workflow convas will be referenced relatively if the sub-process is contained inside the same application.
Take special heed however — processes and resources that do not reside in the same Application do not see their references updated — they are absolutely referenced. If MyApplication/1.0/ProcessA is upgraded, it will not change the references to, for example, OtherApplication/1.0/OtherProcess. Similarly, if we upgrade to OtherApplication/2.0/OtherProcess, then MyApplication/1.0/ProcessA will still point to OtherApplication/1.0/OtherProcess.
Finally, note that if you create a new version of an application, all resources and processes are copied over with it with new version numbers too, and any textual references to other resources remain the same. So if MyNotify/1.0/ProcessA has a variable referencing MyNotify/1.0/FormA, then MyNotify/2.0/ProcessA will also reference MyNotify/1.0/FormA ; the same goes for resources uch as XDPs, XSLTs, and any other resources stored in an Application. The reason for this is that these references are stored as "strings" (pieces of text) and Workbench cannot, upon creating a new version, differentiate what snippets of text all through the Application are versions to update, what versions should not be updated, and what strings do not actually contain versions at all.
The other way is to plan downtime.
You could choose the second method to avoid having to update references to resources, but it would defeat the purpose of having this versioning at all and does, unavoidably, incur the overhead of a downtime.

Livecycle uses native processes for Forms and Output related operations, more on this specific topic you can find here.
This blogpost will go into detail about how short-lived processes utilize these native processes and how you can optimize this.
To demonstrate this, I am using the following process.
It has a setValue operation, then a renderPDFForm operation and it ends with an executeScript.
The executeScript has the following contents:
System.out.println( "After the render operation" );
In this process, renderPDFForm is using the native process XMLForm. If there is no running XMLForm process when you invoke this process, it will start a new one. What you also can do is to kill the existing processes and then invoke the process and you will also see that the process it started again.
By default you will have a maximum of 4 XMLForm processes running on your system, and these are allocated via a pooling mechanism.
To have more information on this allocation/deallocation process, apply the following setting to your JVM :
When you now invoke the process you will something like this in the log :
[com.adobe.service.ResourcePooler] *****http-0.0.0.0-8080-2 trying to obtain lock on com.adobe.service.ResourcePooler@1cf0bb for resource allocation
[com.adobe.service.ResourcePooler] *****http-0.0.0.0-8080-2 allocated ProcessResource@f6b087(name=XMLForm.exe,pid=1392), Pool: {ProcessResource@f6b087(name=XMLForm.exe,pid=1392)=true}, initializing=false, poolsize=1, max=4
[STDOUT] After the render operation
[com.adobe.service.ResourcePooler] *****http-0.0.0.0-8080-2 deallocated ProcessResource@f6b087(name=XMLForm.exe,pid=1392), Pool: {ProcessResource@f6b087(name=XMLForm.exe,pid=1392)=false}, initializing=false, poolsize=1, max=4
So in normal English this would be :
1. Looking for an available XMLForm process
2. Allocating process with pid=1392 for this short-lived process
3. The message from the executeScript
4. Deallocating the process, and returning it back to the pool
At first sight you would say this is working as expected, and it is.
But the thing to look for is why the deallocating is taking place AFTER the executeScript.
In a short-lived process the allocation of the native-process is maintained for the whole transaction, this means when the short-lived process has completed the native-process is returned to the pool.
Of course in our example having a simple executeScript will not extend the duration of the lock, but imagine you do send out an email and afterwards execute webservice call.
Having these steps in your process will extend the lock where it doesn't need to.
What is the impact?
If you are locking the native process longer than needed then you can end up with reaching the maximum number of native process in use. When that happens any subsequent operations that use the native process will have to wait until a native-process is returned back to the pool.
In that case what you will see is that processes are taking longer to complete, but you won't see an increase of CPU-usage on the machine.
This locking effect on native processes can also lead to a deadlock. Consider the following process:
Here the process actually uses the XMLForm native process twice, once to render a form, and then, conditionally, an XMLForm native process may be used indirectly to carry out a flatten operation on the form. What can happen in this instance is that a lock is first obtained during the render, then when the flatten operation is performed indirectly by Assembler, it will attempt to find another different XMLForm native process that is not already locked. When multiple instances of this process run concurrently, all available native processes can be locked in the first step, with none available to carry out the second step and a deadlock will result. When this happens the deadlock is eventually broken when the transaction times out.
What is the solution?
What we want to achieve is to return the native-process to the pool as soon as possible, so for example when the render-operation has completed.
The way to do this is to create a wrapper process around renderPDFForm, this wrapper process contains only one step and has a transaction setting "REQUIRES NEW".
This process is now called from the process, instead of doing a call directly to renderPDFForm.
If we use this subprocess in our example, then you will see the following output in the logfile:
[com.adobe.service.ResourcePooler] *****http-0.0.0.0-8080-2 trying to obtain lock on com.adobe.service.ResourcePooler@1cf0bb for resource allocation
[com.adobe.service.ResourcePooler] *****http-0.0.0.0-8080-2 allocated ProcessResource@f6b087(name=XMLForm.exe,pid=1392), Pool: {ProcessResource@f6b087(name=XMLForm.exe,pid=1392)=true}, initializing=false, poolsize=1, max=4
[com.adobe.service.ResourcePooler] *****http-0.0.0.0-8080-2 deallocated ProcessResource@f6b087(name=XMLForm.exe,pid=1392), Pool: {ProcessResource@f6b087(name=XMLForm.exe,pid=1392)=false}, initializing=false, poolsize=1, max=4
[STDOUT] After the render operation
As you can see now in the output the native-process is returned back to the pool BEFORE it starts the next step.
The wrapper process has been created for renderPDFForm, but this also applies for the other operations of the FormsService and OutputService.

Customers using LiveCycle Workbench to develop solutions will have the following requirements:
Note: To differentiate a customer's LiveCycle application with an application in Workbench, we take "project" as customers' LiveCycle application.
1. Three environments (DEV – for development of LiveCycle applications, TEST – for testing the developed LiveCycle Applications, PRODUCTION – for deploying and using LiveCycle applications.);
– Project could be transferred to cross environments smoothly.
2. Multiple active development streams aka. parallel development with different developer roles;
– Roles could be process developer, form developer, Flex developer, schema developer and so on;
3. An iterative development style;
– Project could be handed over for testing or production while development of later versions can continue.
LiveCycle Workbench ES2 provides necessary fundamental functionality so that these development requirements can be met. The new development model in LiveCycle ES2 is application centric rather than repository centric that was used in previous versions.
Here is a general solution:
1. Use multiple structured applications for parallel development and resource management;
2. Make use of application versions for iterations;
3. Use LiveCycle archives for transitions;
Here is an application structure sample:
In LiveCycle ES, all processes, forms and other assets are stored in a flat structure called repository. But in LiveCycle ES2, application is used to manage resources which are called application assets. A LiveCycle application is simply and logically a container of assets during design-time.
In LiveCycle Workbench ES2, it's suggested several applications be used to better manage the project resources. It's to say one project could have several LiveCycle applications in Workbench.
For the sample application structure above, it has some advantages:
In LiveCycle Workbench ES2, every application version is composed by a major version and a minor version. For every application asset, it has revisions. LiveCycle developers can make use of these versions for iterations or even releases. Generally, a release could be a combination of different versions of applications.
Talking to transitions between development, testing and production environment, LiveCycle archives can be used. In Workbench, you can create an archive for each application; or, you can create an archive for all applications of your project. These archives then can be imported to other environments.

Marcel van Espen, over at the Dr Flex and Dr LiveCycle blog, explains how you can create a LiveCycle process to access custom Office properties. His blog post also includes a useful example.
"Within LiveCycle Workbench ES, one of the services in the common category that you can use is 'Export XMP'. This service will extract all the available metadata from a PDF document. If you have converted a MS-Office document to a PDF document, you will be surprised what metadata is also converted. All these properties now become accessible."

The night-watch went his rounds in many of our colonial towns, and called the hour and the weather.
Since that night-watch at Pine Tree Ranch, he had been a different man.
Everywhere we encountered the New York policemen who had taken the place of the night-watch of 1833.
The first record of these was made by McLean, when on night-watch on March 22.
We will pay the Chartreuse a visit in broad daylight after breakfast, which will not interfere in the least with your night-watch.
He listened for the step of the policeman on night-watch, because he did not wish to be seen.
With this taciturn Frenchwoman I entered upon my night-watch by Minima, whose raving no one could understand but myself.
She'd last about half a night-watch out there—say out where old 67 is to-night.
Often in a night-watch did my thoughts recur to Julia Sumner.
The herald, as usual, constituted himself a night-watch, and perched upon the newly made mound.

Road Trip: Parkdale and Odell
Rumor has it that there's more to the east side of Mt. Hood than awesome downhill skiing. Upon investigation, we can now confirm that it's true. Here are some fun spots along Highway 35.
For an alternative to alpine skiing and boarding, take a Nordic tour through the snowy woods on Mt. Hood. Ski off the beaten track out off the Bennett Pass Sno Park or Pocket Creek Sno Park, or skate the groomed track at Teacup Lake. Check with the Mt. Hood Ranger District for maps.
Stop in at Michoacan Sports Grill in Odell for some seriously good Mexican food made from scratch. Try the carnitas — the chef's family recipe — carne asada, or, if you are in the mood for al a carte, a range of tasty tacos.
Solera Brewery in Parkdale makes a great winter gathering spot. Try the Solera Peche Bier, a wheat beer made with Hood River Valley peaches. Stop in Monday night for the $9 special — sausage and a pint.
Other glasses
Glassometry Studios in Odell offers classes in glassblowing, fusing, slumping and metal sculpture. Check out the gallery and pop into the studio, where you can blow your own glass (for ages 5 and up).

The buddy cop genre has definitely produced some amazing flicks and "Let's Be Cops" could very well be the next winner.
In the new red band trailer, Jake Johnson and Damon Wayans Jr show off their on-screen chemistry in the tradition of Mel Gibson and Danny Glover and Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas.
Bringing us his seventh installment of "Mean Tweets," Jimmy Kimmel invited some of today's hottest stars to read what gets written about them in the Twitterverse.
Giving fans another look at its upcoming flick, 20th Century Fox released a brand new trailer for "Let's Be Cops" on Thursday (April 24).
The comedy starring Jake Johnson and Damon Wayans Jr. focuses on two pals after they decide to masquerade around town as police officers.
Following the stellar success of the first film, "Rio 2" is coming soon to theaters and there's a brand new trailer to get everyone excited.
The 20th Century Fox flick features the voices of Anne Hathaway, Jesse Eisenberg, Tracy Morgan, Leslie Mann, George Lopez, and Jamie Foxx, under the direction of Carlos Saldanha.
Making the most of their Thursday night (October 10), Kate Mara and Rosario Dawson showed up at the Paramour Mansion in Los Angeles.
The "House of Cards" hottie donned a lovely white sleeveless dress as she celebrated the launch of Martell Caractere Cognac.
Just released in full length from 20th Century Fox and Blue Sky Studios, the "Rio 2" trailer is out for fans' viewing pleasure!
He's never made an appearance on " Jimmy Kimmel Live" before and Matt Damon decided to take matters into his own hands last night (January 24).
The "We Bought a Zoo" hunk kidnapped the late night host, claiming he would make a much more suitable man for the job.

Sichuan Offering 80% Lead & Zinc Mine
It is reported that Sichuan Province is offering to sell an 80% stake in Hui-Dong Lead & Zinc Mine for RMB 2.04 billion to any state-owned or state-controlled enterprise with a registered capital exceeding RMB 1 billion and net assets exceeding RMB 2 billion.
The buyer must make a lump sum payment. Buyers that have gone into debt at any time in the past three years are not eligible.
An senior officer of the bureau of commerce in Huidong County, Liangshan, Sichuan Province, predicted that Western Mining Co Ltd, which last year inked a cooperative agreement with the local government to develop lead zinc ore in Huidong, will probably buy the asset.
Hui-Dong Lead & Zinc Mine, which was established in 1958 with a registered capital of RMB 50.92 million, had 11.56 million tons of ore as of Jan. 30, 2009, including 1.14 million tons of zinc and 88,000 tons of lead.

ATLANTA — The Atlanta Braves will have a losing record at the All-Star break for the second time in three seasons.
Chipper Jones isn't happy, but he says he isn't surprised.
Jones said when the season began that the Braves too closely resembled the team that finished third in the NL East last year for the second straight season.
His concerns have been realized as the Braves have dropped to fourth in the division.
"I guess people might say that I'm a prophet," Jones said. "There's a reason why we've been at or near .500 for two and a half years now."
The Braves are under .500 since winning their 14th straight division title in 2005.
Jones says the Braves don't play like winners, including in their offensive approach.
The Braves have the potential to win big when their big hitters are hot, but they've been astonishingly bad in close games.
Manager Bobby Cox has never been known for small ball. During the run of division titles the team kept winning with its combination of dominant starting pitching and home runs.
Despite losing John Smoltz, Tom Glavine, Mike Hampton, Rafael Soriano and Peter Moylan to injuries, the Braves' pitching has been strong this season. But the Braves, ninth in the NL in runs, keep losing close games.
They are only 4-22 in one-run games. They are 0-17 in one-run games on the road this season, including a 2-1 loss to the Dodgers on Wednesday night, and have lost 24 straight one-run games on the road since Aug. 10, 2007. It's the longest stretch of one-run road losses in major league history, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
Jones says the Braves would win more one-run games if they produced more one-run innings.
"You know, to win one-run games, pitchers have to get bunts down," Jones said. "You've got to hit behind runners. You've got to put the ball in play with a guy on third and less than two outs. You have to do the little things to win those one-run games, because a run here and a run there is the difference.
"We don't do it consistently."
It's not a new problem.
The Braves were 12-21 in one-run games when they were 40-49 at the break in 2006, when they finished 79-83. They finished only 18-25 in one-run games last season, when they were again third in the NL East at 84-78.
If Atlanta had won half its 26 one-run games this season, it would be 52-40 and in first place in the NL East, 21/2 games ahead of Philadelphia.
Dodgers starter Derek Lowe, the former Red Sox pitcher who beat Atlanta on Wednesday night while retiring the first 17 batters, says the Braves take an American League approach at the plate.
"This is the type of team where you have to be able to throw your breaking ball for strikes, especially when you're behind the count," Lowe said. "They're more of a what I would call an American League
team, where they just really look for fastballs on pretty much every single count, so you have to be able to throw breaking balls."
Jones, the NL's All-Star starter at third base, has hit .400 most of the first half. He can't do much more. But he says too many of the team's young players are just waiting on the Braves' sluggers — Jones, All-Star catcher Brian McCann and first baseman Mark Teixeira — to hit home runs.
"I see a lot of the young guys, they have developed a mentality that they sit back and they wait for me or Tex or Mac to deliver the big blow," Jones said. "And we're not going to do it all the time."
Jeff Francoeur was expected to be another big bat behind Teixeira and McCann. Instead, he slumped so badly that he was sent to Double-A Mississippi for a brief three-game confidence boost this week.
Some of the team's problems can be blamed on injuries to Mark Kotsay, Yunel Escobar and Matt Diaz, who have had stints on the disabled list. Kotsay missed 33 games with a lower back strain. Diaz has been out since May 28.
Jones has avoided the disabled list, but he missed eight straight starts with a strained right quadriceps before returning on July 1.
But this is about more than injuries. With Jones, Kotsay and Escobar back in the lineup and Francoeur back from the minors, the losses have continued. The Braves had lost eight of 11 through Wednesday, scoring no more than one run five times in the stretch.
Tim Hudson, the tough-luck loser Wednesday night, is only 9-7 despite a 3.16 ERA. The Braves have seven one-run losses in his starts.
"You just feel bad for Huddy," Francoeur said. "He's pitched so many games like this and we haven't done anything for him. What is he, 9-7 now? He could be 12-4 easy."
Hudson is the only healthy veteran starter, but general manager Frank Wren says the patchwork pitching staff has pitched as well as was expected of the veterans.
"I think if everything had gone as planned with the pitching, we'd be happy with where we are pitching-wise," Wren said. "That just tells you how good a job these guys have done."
The Braves' 3.74 ERA is second in the National League, trailing only the Dodgers.
Jones says the Braves need a complete effort if they are to contend in the second half.
"Some starters are going to have to start going seven, eight innings," Jones said. "The back end of the bullpen is going to have to be strong. The first two guys in the lineup are going to have to get on consistently.
"And if all that happens we'll win a lot of games. But if we keep playing one good game every five, it's gonna be a long summer."

It's that 'new year, new me' time.
And the state government claims it is doing its bit by making it harder for smokers to find places to smoke.
From January 1, people will no longer be able to smoke – or vape – on or within five metres of health and school facilities.
Those who do face an on-the-spot fine of at least $227.
The law was passed a few months ago and also made the use of e-cigarettes, which emit a water vapour instead of smoke, illegal in the same places tobacco products can't be smoked. From Thursday it will apply to all public hospitals and healthcare facilities, which includes aged care and mental health facilities.
"Making Queensland hospitals and health facilities completely smoke free reinforces the message that these places are for healthcare and the promotion of healthy lifestyle choices," acting Health Minister Mark McArdle said in a statement.
Which apparently is all part of making Queensland the "safest place to live and raise a family".
The same people who can fine you for smoking too close to doorways or between the flags on the beach – Queensland Health Environment Health Officers and Local Government officers - will police the hospital and health facility and schools ban, along with 'authorised persons' such as security staff.
The new laws come into effect as the year clocks over to 2015.
Anyone looking for information or help with quitting can call 13 78 48.

Douglas thinks lawmakers can decide nuclear plant's future this year
Gov. Jim Douglas says he thinks lawmakers can have their say on the future of the Vermont Yankee nuclear plant this year, but issues relating to the plant's decommissioning fund should be left to regulators.
The governor's comments came more than a week after the passing of a deadline set by legislative leaders for Vermont Yankee owner Entergy Nuclear to agree with Vermont's utilities about how much it will charge for power from Vermont Yankee after 2012.
And Rep. Tony Klein, the chairman of the House Natural Resources and Energy Committee, says he agrees with Douglas that the Legislature still could vote this year on whether Vermont Yankee's license should be extended for 20 years.

Richard Ruelas: Every month we feature an Arizona organization working to help better the community in our giving and leading segment. Tonight, a week before Veteran's day, the focus is on returning soldiers. Arizona is home to more than half a million Veterans. They include 150,000 who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, many of them face multiple deployments. Transitioning from military to civilian life can be difficult, especially for those Veterans dealing with medical issues. Producer Christina Estes and photographer Steve Aron show us how an Arizona veterinarian came up with a plan to help veterans.
Christina Estes: 16-month-old Lucky is like most puppies.
Jason Bedore: He's full of energy.
Christina Estes: And he loves toys stuffed with peanut butter.
Jason Bedore: Good boy.
Christina Estes: It's never easy to separate a dog from his treat but in Lucky's case --
Jason Bedore: Once you put on the vest and the collar, he knows he's going to work.
Christina Estes: Work means protecting a man who spent a decade protecting others.
Jason Bedore: I did five tours to Iraq. In 2007, I was hit with an improvised explosive device, IED, and sustained injuries, from head injuries to, to knee injuries.
Christina Estes: After years of surgeries and therapy, staff sergeant Jason Bedore medically retired.
Jason Bedore: I had a disconnect, I didn't know what to do.
Christina Estes: A bad knee was the most visible scar, while the post-traumatic stress and brain injuries stayed mostly hidden, except from Jason's family.
Jason Bedore: I always had to have my wife with me. I don't go to the grocery store. I don't go -- I hate traffic, so I take the same routes that I know won't have traffic.
Christina Estes: Jason was fortunate his wife understood better than most. She also serve in Iraq; that's where they met.
Jason Bedore: My wife does a lot, spends a lot of her time taking care of me, so it's like she's taking care of two kids, my daughter and myself.
Christina Estes: Until Lucky came along. Someone discovered the lab mix in a dumpster and took him to a shelter where Jason adopted him.
Jason Bedore: Through Soldier's Best Friend, he was able to help me, I guess, come out of my shell.
Christina Estes: Soldier's best friend is a nonprofit that pairs veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder or traumatic brain injuries with dogs to be trained as service or therapeutic companion animals. Jason and Lucky are halfway through the program. They meet with a professional trainer once a week and join other veterans and dogs for public outings, visits to stores, restaurants, and the airport. Lucky's biggest job is to help calm Jason. Especially during nightmares.
Jason Bedore: He's there so I know that it's ok. If I wake up from a dream, or if I'm acting out the dream, he'll wake me up. He'll interrupt me, whether it's with his, his me wanting to pet him or him rubbing his body against me. It brings comfort.
Mac Pieper: He's not going anywhere, unless I'm going with him.
Christina Estes: After months of training, former army sergeant Mac Pieper and his dog, Cal, recently graduated from the program.
Mac Pieper: It makes me really happy and proud because I was able to teach him how to do it and make him understand that he needed to do it. It makes me feel safe because he's a good judge of character.
Christina Estes: While serving three tours in Iraq, Mac endured multiple traumatic brain injuries. He was also diagnosed with PTSD. And then just four months after leaving the military, Mac was hit while riding his motorcycle. The driver took off leaving his bleeding, broken body on the street, and stealing much of his eyesight.
Mac Pieper: It's called bitemporal peripheral vision loss. Basically, it means that on my right eye, I can't see anything from, basically, the middle of my eye out. And on the left side, the same thing, but from the left side.
Christina Estes: The brain injuries make it hard for mac to concentrate and recall things.
Mac Pieper: I will ask my fiancée what's going on for today. And she will tell me. And in five minutes later I will be like, what are we doing today? Because I don't remember it. I don't remember asking her.
Christina Estes: And then, there are the angry outbursts.
Mac Pieper: After my accident, they got to the point where I would roll down the window and scream at people that were not driving the way that I thought that they should be. Or, you know, walking down the middle of the parking lot when we are trying to drive through the parking lot. And things like that. And, I actually, I had to have Krista explain to me, we live in a state where people carry guns. And they might not just shoot me, they might shoot her, too. And that kind of -- that really made me want to get some help and make myself better.
Christina Estes: Cal is always there to calm Mac and to watch his back.
Mac Pieper: We'll stop somewhere. At the grocery store. I will be looking at a shelf or something like that. And he'll automatically turn and face back and be watching the people walking by. And making sure that people are not coming up behind me and doing anything crazy.
Christina Estes: The idea for soldier's best friend came from veterinarian John Burnham.
John Burnham: I wanted to help the military. And I also wanted to help with our overpopulation of pets.
Christina Estes: About half the dogs come from shelters and rescue groups. The program has graduated more than 50 pairs, but it's touched many more lives.
John Burnham: Just the other night we had a graduation, and I had a mother that has been the caretaker of this Veteran, and, and she put her arms around me and hugged me and thanked me because now she can sleep in because her daughter can take her kids to school now. To where before, mom always had to do that because the daughter was not willing to leave home. So, those are the kind of stories we hear on a regular basis.
Mac Pieper: Let's go. Come on. If it wasn't for him, I don't know that, that I would not have been shot at already.
Jason Bedore: Good boy. I just -- I didn't know how to thank him. He's -- it's amazing.
Christina Estes: Sounds like soldiers' best friend has more than one Lucky guy.
Jason Bedore: Yeah.
Richard Ruelas: Soldiers' best friend offers training in Phoenix, Prescott, Tucson and Sierra Vista. Thanks to volunteers and donations, there is no cost to the veterans. For more information, visit soldiersbestfriend.org. That's all for this edition of "Arizona Horizon." Thank you for joining us. See tomorrow night.

Saw this on FB....Gotta be a new level of Kook....
that's the heaviest thing I have ever seen.
I think the best part for me is the dive off the board at the end. Certainly takes himself seriously.
At least he looks both ways before popping. I applaud what hes's doing... practicing his pop, stance, and transitions, warming up, and starting small at an uncrowded break.
I think a kook is someone who doesn't tune in, surfs above his/her ability, and gets in the way. That being said it is pretty funny, but how many people won't do this and will stink up the lineup on a good day.
P.s. I could see you up on the cliffs, I didnt think you were videotaping me though... creep.
love the end when he dives in
Once I saw him go to the double arm paddle I knew it wasnt going to end good.
That was AWESOME!!! Thanks for posting. His poor board was taking a beating.
He looks like Walter Payton puttin moves on that sand crab there. Given that bro a contract!

Web Page Shortcut Keys
Wouldn't it be cool to have hot-keys for your favorite web pages on your desktop? For instance, if you type Ctrl+Shift+G it would bring up Google while Ctrl+Shift+W would bring up Worldstart. Well, by combining a few simple techniques in Windows XP you can.
First, go to the web page that you want a shortcut for and put it on your desktop by right-clicking a blank area of the page and selecting "Create Shortcut".
Now that you have the shortcut for the web page on your desktop, right-click the link and select "Properties" (or Alt+double click).
Under the "Web Document" tab look for "Shortcut key". Put your cursor in the box then type a letter. It will automatically add "Ctrl+Alt+" in front of it. You can also create any combination using Ctrl, Alt, Shift plus a keyboard character by typing them at the same time.
After you're done you can bring up the page with your new key combination any time you need to. Use it for search engines or even your online email. Keep in mind that it will open up in your default web browser.

Dear Friend,
We've just had a major public breakthrough for APIA that I want to share with you.
POLITICO—the current leader in breaking news for the mainstream media and the Washington political class—has just acknowledged that APIA is at the vanguard of a new movement among social conservatives seeking to overcome the politically suicidal "truce strategy" in conservative politics.
This development is important enough that I want to quote POLITICO's January 2nd story at some length:
"[S]ome of the religious right's wealthiest backers and top operatives gathered at the Ritz-Carlton to plot their entry into the conservative civil war. Their plan: take a page out of the playbooks of Karl Rove and the Koch brothers by raising millions of dollars, coordinating their political spending and assiduously courting megadonors. . . .It's all geared toward elevating the place of social issues like abortion and gay marriage in conservative politics," writes POLITICO.
The story goes on to take note of "American Principles in Action's paper, issued in October, which argued that such a tactic 'would likely consign the GOP to a permanent minority status,' whereas emphasizing the social issues will help rally the base and attract coveted demographics with which the GOP has failed to connect, including Hispanics and women."
"Social conservatives need to take things into their own hands and can't rely on the establishment to make that case to donors or voters,' I told POLITICO. 'We need to alert donors who care about social issues that, without financial support behind those issues themselves, you have a consulting class of the party that's decided that those issues need to be jettisoned."
POLITICO also identifies APP Chairman of the Board Sean Fieler as an "emerging mid-tier GOP megadonor":
"He told POLITICO there's a chance to reorder the conservative movement — and American politics as a whole — by revealing Democrats to be 'their own worst enemy' on social issues like abortion and gay marriage. 'The rigidity and extremism they have around some of these issues is so out of step with the American electorate that there is enormous opportunity for Republicans. We have to pick some spots and win some elections and frame the debate in a way that's favorable to us,' Fieler said. 'If we can show that integrated conservatism which embraces a middle class and a resonant economic message as well as a pro-family socially conservative message is the winning formula, then I think there will be a lot of money for that.'"
As I told POLITICO, "Nothing exists on the scale on the social issues side of the Koch operation or the Crossroads operation"—yet. But 2014 is the year we launch and this POLITICO breakthrough is going to help us persuade the conservative donor class they need a new strategy.
POLITICO followed up with a January 6th story, in which they called APIA number 3 on a top 10 list of "Wallets to Watch":
"This outfit — comprised of a pair of nonprofits and a super PAC — is the advance guard of a planned big-money effort by the religious right to push back on establishment efforts to minimize divisive issues like abortion rights and gay marriage."
In other big, breakthrough news: on January 22nd, for the first time in history, the Chairman of the RNC will be a part of the March for Life. This demonstrates the RNC's commitment to the greatest principle of equality and liberty in American life: that every human life is worthy of respect and protection--from the most distressed mother who needs our help, to the child in her womb.
RNC Chairman Reince Priebus deserves enormous credit for this definitive rebuke of the idea that the path to victory for conservatives involves jettisoning the life issue.
Let me tell you privately that we are hearing from many people in D.C. of the seminal role APIA's "autopsy" report is having on powerful insider elites.
On January 23, I will be speaking (along with APIA Fellow Maggie Gallagher) before all 168 RNC members, making the political case against the "truce strategy", which turns conservatives into punching bags when the Democrats trump up their "War on Women" attacks.
We hope this meeting of the RNC will be a turning point for conservatives and for the nation.
The other big news this week is that Liz Cheney dropped out of her challenge to Wyoming Senator Mike Enzi, citing family health issues. But, the 20-point drop in her personal popularity since American Principles Fund aired the ads alerting voters that she opposed the Federal Marriage Amendment played a role in her dropping out of the race, and once again POLITICO noticed:
"The success of the ads hitting Cheney in the Wyoming Republican Senate primary should help the group raise more money to air ads elevating social issues in more raises, said its leading donor, New Jersey hedge funder Sean Fieler."
This week, I appeared on C-Span's Washington Journal and discussed APIA's leadership in the fight against the truce strategy. You can watch it here:
When I decided to found the American Principles in Action, one of my urgent concerns was the way social conservatives were underrepresented—missing in action, to be frank—in most of the key insider Washington fights over tactic and strategies, insider fights that have real consequences for the arguments voters end up hearing, because they affect how money is allocated.
No more.
I cannot promise you victory, but I can tell you: they will know there's a fight.
We not only have the moral right on our side, but political common sense. And with your help we will prevent conservatives from committing suicide by political consultant.
As final note, POLITICO's influential First Look in their Playbook, spotlighted APP's upcoming Red, White and Blue Gala, which will take place on February 5th at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington, D.C. This year's Gala will feature Senator Rand Paul as the keynote speaker, and RedState.com founder Erick Erickson will be the master of ceremonies.
Come and join the emerging vanguard of conservatives who recognize that standing on American Principles is the key to victory.
For America,
Frank Cannon

About Me
I have been doing modeling (both live and print) and promotions for over two years in both Canada and the U.S. Photography and fashion are an amazing art which I love to be a part of. I love to see what photographers/makeup artists/designers/wardrobe stylists can produce and love to help them do it!
Paid jobs take priority, however I am willing to do TFCD/TFP if I have the extra time and you have an idea that would add something new to my portfolio.
When I'm not modeling I am a student at UC Berkeley (finally graduating in June 08) or working one of my two jobs as a massage therapist or with LVMH.
I am very professional with every job and can provide references if needed. I love to have fun with shoots and I'm always open to new, edgy, different ideas.

text: Drexel Community Scholars Requesting Drexel Community Scholars Through the Lindy Center's Drexel Community Scholar (DCS) program, Drexel student leaders are placed in long term positions to help build sustained relationships with community organizations to support community capacity building through student volunteer recruitment and retention. Community organizations that work with the Lindy Center for Civic Engagement are eligible to apply for a DCS. Approval depends on the type of public service opportunity available and the availability of an interested DCS who can commit to the partnership. How does it work? Too often, the needs of community organizations are such that a short-term service project can both hinder the programming of the organization and leave our students less empowered through their service. In order to lessen the burden on the community partner and provide a better experience for our students, we recruit and train experienced students to help build capacity of community partners while helping to recruit and orient additional Drexel University student volunteers to an organization, ultimately leading to a quality experience and greater student volunteer retention. How do I request a Drexel Community Scholar? The criteria for matching DCS with community partners include the demonstrated level of need, the proximity to our campus, and the volume of student volunteers that have served that organization over the course of the last school year. Our goal is to continue to identify organizations, especially those in the 19104 zip code, with a demonstrated need for a student leader to serve as a liaison. If this opportunity appeals to you or to discuss recruiting a site leader for your organization, contact Katie Regetta at firstname.lastname@example.com. Do you offer any support to the Community Partner hosting a Drexel Community Scholar? Yes. Each year the Lindy Center for Civic Engagement hosts an orientation to support all the DCS partner sites, and offers ongoing networking opportunities. Meet some of the current DCS and learn more about the work that they do.

Putting their family as first priority, the couple have decided to give their marriage another chance, calling off their pending divorce.
The divorce is off and Shaquille O'Neal and his wife Shaunie Nelson are back on. The NBA player filed for divorce from his children's mother in early September last year. Shaunie was quick to response on his divorce filing, seeking to get details on his finance. But in a recent interview with Extra, she said she and O'Neal have reconciled, adding that getting back together was the right thing to do.
"Things are great and we're moving on to the good stuff," Extra quoted Shaunie as saying. "We've both learned a lot and know that our family comes first and that's the main thing for both of us."
Shaunie continued, "I'm learning that all marriages have bumps in the road. And learned that communication is the key to marriage and in the midst of this and that and everything that was going on, you tend to lose that part of it...And I think that was probably our main issue at the time."
Furthermore admitting that she has left her bitter divorce to O'Neal behind and couldn't be happier with their reconciliation, Shaunie summed up "We love each other to death ...We are a great family together and nothing apart." Her full interview with Extra will be aired Monday, August 18.
Shaunie and O'Neal married in December 2002. They are parents to four children, with each of them has one child from their previous relationships.

Cancer is considered as one of the deadliest diseases in the medical field. Apart from the preventive therapies, it is important to find a curative measure which holds no loopholes and acts accurately and precisely to curb cancer. Over the past few decades, there have been advances in this field and there are many antitumor compounds available on the market, which are of natural as well as synthetic origin. Marine chemotherapy is well recognized nowadays and profound development has been achieved by researchers to deal with different molecular pathways of tumors. However, the marine environment has been less explored for the production of safe and novel antitumor compounds. The reason is a number of shortfalls in this field. Though ample reviews cover the importance and applications of various anticancerous compounds from marine natural products, in the present review, we have tried to bring the current status of antitumor research based on marine inhibitors of cancer signaling pathways. In addition, focus has been placed on the shortfalls and probable strategies in the arena of marine antitumor drug discovery.
Cancer has posed a great challenge to the fields of medicine and immunology. Finding novel and efficient compounds of natural origin has been a major point of concern for research in the pharmaceutical sciences. Nature harbors a vast variety of flora and fauna including microbial inhabitants and lithosphere, atmosphere and hydrosphere cumulatively provide an excellent source of chemically diverse compounds with great therapeutic potential. Drugs derived from natural products have a giant impact on the antitumor drug discovery regime of the present day [
The oceanic environment has been a vast source of such natural compounds covering a wide range of bioactivity such as photoprotective [
Despite an array of antitumor compounds that have been produced from the marine environment, a vast majority of oceanic habitat is underexplored due to various problems faced by marine biotechnologists and pharmacists. First, the marine natural products are large in molecule size and complex in structure with multiple chiral centers. Second, lack of technological innovations and financial support coupled with environmental considerations pose hindrances to marine antitumor drug research. Some speedy expansions in molecular biology, bioengineering, genomics, proteomics and metabolomics have aided the discovery of natural products and their implication in antitumor drug development.
This review showcases recent developments in the field of marine antitumor research with emphasis on the signal transduction pathways of oncogenesis, clinical status of the marine derived antitumor compounds and discusses the potential challenges and probable strategies to combat the gap between marine compound isolation and successful antitumor drug development. It is an attempt to focus the attention of the scientific community including biologists and chemists on an integrative approach towards antitumor drug development from marine sources
Carcinogenesis is a complex process controlled by various signal transduction pathways linked to processes such as inflammation, cell differentiation and survival, and metastasis. Most of the players of these pathways are interrelated and irregularities in their crosstalk result in impairment of cellular functions leading to tumor generation and progression. Few such players have been targeted for cancer therapy and some inhibitors from marine sources have been designed and studied to counteract tumor progression and curb carcinogenesis. Some such studies are reviewed in this section.
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), zinc dependant endopeptidases that degrade the extracellular matrix (ECM) [
Further, Quang
To design effective drugs against cancer, it is mandatory to understand the underlying tumor physiology and the changes occurring in the tumor microenvironment [

Even marine derived sediments are rich in bioactive substances which may prove to be potential NF-κB inhibitors. Nam and coworkers (2010) have recently isolated Fijiolide A, a potent inhibitor of TNF-α-induced NF-κB activation, from a marine-derived bacterium of the genus
Topoisomerases play a major role in maintaining the integrity of the DNA helix during replication, transcription, and chromosome condensation in mitosis [
Makaluvamine A is a pyrroloquinoline, principally isolated from the sponge
Members of the protein kinase C (PKC) family of serine/threonine kinases are known to be major players in oncogenesis. One of the isoforms, PKCɛ, has been demonstrated to increase proliferation, motility, and invasion of fibroblasts or immortalized epithelial cells. It has been proven in xenograft and transgenic animal models that overexpression of PKCɛ is tumorigenic, resulting in metastatic disease [
Although the number of natural products is increasing day by day, very few compounds find their way to the market. This may be due to many factors, particularly the cytotoxicity that they show on normal human cell lines, rendering the compound unfit for use as medicinal supplement. Despite the failure rate, some potential compounds have shown promising results as antitumor agents in preclinical trials and many have made it to different phases of clinical trials. Some of them have already been approved as potent anticancer drugs and are already on the market. Cytarabine, Ara-C (Cytosar-U®), a DNA polymerase inhibitor is one such drug developed by Bedford laboratories and Enzon pharmaceuticals, which has been approved for use as an antitumor agent. Trabectedin or Ecteinascidin 743 (Yondelis®), an alkaloid of tunicate origin, has been approved in European countries to be used for the treatment of soft tissue sarcoma [
Eribulin mesylate (E 7389), a macrolide natural product isolated from marine sponges [
Bryostatin 1, a polyketide isolated initially from Bryozoa, is now known to be produced by its bacterial symbioant,
Although much development has been achieved in the fields of biomedicine and pharmaceutical sciences, still very few natural products have found their way to the market till date. There are ample reasons that may be affecting this shortfall, including; lack of sufficient amount of natural product, difficulties in accessing the source of the samples, problems associated with harvesting of the product, troubles in synthesizing the necessary amounts of the compound, difficulties in isolation and purification procedures, high toxicity of the active compound, ecological considerations, government policies, lack of infrastructure and insufficient capital investment.
For example, studies on the marine HIF inhibitor Laurenditerpenol were hindered by a lack of compound supply [
A number of marine microorganisms are difficult to culture and lack of literature on the isolation procedures and standardized culture conditions makes the situation even worse, with less numbers of academics undertaking such studies. For instance, despite the fact that the marine actinomycetes may be a storehouse of novel bioactive molecules, different from terrestrial counterparts, they are an underexploited source for the discovery of novel secondary metabolites [
A lack of understanding of cancer biomarkers (major players in carcinogenesis and tumor progression) is also a major shortfall in harnessing the marine environment for specific tumor targeting drugs. Despite a vast array of technologies in cancer research with unprecedented depths of analyses, the complexity of cancer proteomics and the underlying altered signaling pathways pose a great challenge for marine antitumor drug research. There is an imperative need for extensive, integrative and collaborative endeavors to explicate proteome alterations in cancer [
Certain other issues that pose an obstacle to the marine antitumor drug research include lack of funding and infrastructure resources and experience in the biotechnology firms to perform the extensive late-stage clinical development programs that are needed for regulatory approval of a drug. The reluctance of large pharmaceutical companies to invest in early-stage research raises another financial setback for marine natural product research. It may be because of the lack of surety of novelty and proven market potential; moreover, it even requires a longer period of time for the investments to be actually returned in terms of profit. The huge structural diversity of marine natural compounds makes it difficult for the isolation and purification of these compounds and the development of novel antitumor drugs from these natural sources possesses problems that are not usually met when one deals with synthetic compounds.
Prevailing threats to global marine biodiversity including overfishing, habitat loss, invasive species and pollution, rising water temperatures and ocean acidification are further making marine antitumor drug research more and more difficult.
The discovery of modern anticancer drugs aims to search for improved cytotoxic agents in terms of the accuracy, efficacy and target specificity and sensitivity. The vast biodiversity of the marine environment can serve as a rich source of such natural compounds. However, keeping the above mentioned challenges in view, it becomes mandatory to design specific strategies for improvement of their therapeutic potential.
A semisynthetic approach could be one of the alternatives to enhance the yield of lead natural compounds. It can be achieved by modifying the functional groups of existing natural compounds. This would lead to the generation of structural analogues with greater pharmacological activity and with fewer side effects. For example, studies on the marine HIF inhibitor Laurenditerpenol were hindered by a lack of compound supply. However, a recently completed total synthesis has resolved the absolute configuration of Laurenditerpenol [
Marine fungi are prolific producers of bioactive compounds including antitumor drugs [
Targeted therapy has been an indispensable approach towards oncogenic signaling pathways. Drug-specific modulation of oncogenic signaling pathways in specific patient subpopulations can predict responsiveness to targeted therapy. Andersen
As far as the problems associated with HIF are concerned, Semenza (2002) suggested that the combination of an anti-angiogenic agent and an inhibitor of HIF-1 might be particularly efficacious, as the angiogenesis inhibitor would cut off the tumor's blood supply and the HIF-1 inhibitor would prevent the ability of the tumor to adapt to the ensuing hypoxia and thus the efficacy of HIF inhibitor may be greatly enhanced [
One of the greatest challenges for the field of medicine and immunology is finding a sure shot cure for cancer. An extensive research regime needs to be started to combat the ability of cancer cells to mutate and become resistant to available drugs. As mentioned above, collaborative scientific approaches with a focus on molecular mechanisms of tumorigenesis need to be initiated. Efforts are required to gain deeper knowledge regarding the various signal transduction pathways linked to cellular processes such as inflammation, cell differentiation and survival, carcinogenesis, and metastasis. Although it is very difficult to predict the final outcome of such a scheme of drug discovery, it can be assured that a focused approach and combined efforts would definitely accelerate the development of new marine antitumor drugs to be discovered with increased efficiency.

REDLANDS - The old adage holds that when a rivalry is involved, anything can happen, but the Redlands East Valley girls volleyball team wasn't about to let crosstown opponent Redlands start to believe that saying is true.
The Wildcats looked every bit the Citrus Belt League favorites they're supposed to be in a 25-7, 25-22, 25-11 home sweep of the Terriers on Thursday.
After dropping the first point of the match, REV reeled off 10 in a row to set an agenda on an afternoon in which they would never be in danger of falling victim to an upset.
Wildcat coach Eli Cuenca believes that the league title is his squad's to lose now that REV (11-5 overall, 3-0 CBL) has knocked off both Redlands (6-6, 2-1) and Yucaipa.
He was much happier than he had been after the victory over the Thunderbirds a week earlier.
"Those are things we pride ourselves on as a program - starting well and finishing well," Cuenca said. "With the Yucaipa game, we were good enough to win, but not good enough. If we want to take the CBL and then make a deep run in the (CIF-Southern Section Division 1-A) playoffs, we have to really focus on playing up to our potential."
Meanwhile, Terriers coach Corinne Flowers is left looking for answers ahead of the two programs' Oct. 23 matchup. They only play twice this year, rather than three times, as they had the past couple of seasons, so finding a way to neutralize Cuenca's weapons will be the upcoming order of business.
"Being 2-1 in league is always a good thing, and we still have some time to get it right in practice," Flowers said. "That helps. We'll have to figure it out."
In the win, senior opposite Kayla Fitzgerald led the way with 11 kills, while sophomore middle hitter Sascha Dominique added eight. As per usual, senior setter Peyton Moyles set them up well. Her 28 assists were the most of any player.
Junior RHS outside hitter Claire Gerard smacked a ball into the net to hand the Wildcats an easy first game.
Redlands would put up a fight in the second, knotting the score at 13-13. The home team soon picked it up, winning five points in a row with 6-foot-1 Dominique leading the charge.
When Cuenca benched Dominique, the Terriers started to gain momentum, clawing back even at 20-20.
The surge would be short-lived. With Dominique back in action for game point, she cleverly looped a winner over the net that found the floor and gave her squad a stranglehold.
The Wildcats began to cruise in the third, building an early lead and never letting up. On match point, freshman Vashti Knight thumped a spike that sealed the deal.
Moyles, who is making a strong bid to win the league's Most Valuable Player award, hopes to see more of the same in the future.
"We played really well. We looked good," Moyles said. "There were a couple of little things to fix there in the second game, but for the most part, we did well. We came out more aggressive. That's what we have to keep up."
Next on the schedule for REV is a home league match with Eisenhower on Tuesday at 4:30 p.m. The Terriers, who are coming off a win over Cajon, will be at Yucaipa at the same time.

Washington (AFP) Feb 24, 2014
The longest-serving member of the US Congress called it quits after 58 years in office Monday, drawing the curtain on a career that began before President Barack Obama was born.
John Dingell, 87, told attendees at a chamber of commerce lunch in Michigan that the "time has come" for him to step down.
His not seeking a 30th term in November means next year will mark the first time since 1933 that there will be no Dingell in the House of Representatives.
The Democrat won his father's seat after John Dingell Senior died in office.
"I'm not going to be carried out feet first," Dingell told the Detroit News. "I don't want people to say I stayed too long."
Dingell became the longest-serving US lawmaker last June when he began his 20,997th day in office, breaking a record set by the late Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia.
Obama hailed the congressman as "one of the most influential legislators of all time."
"John risked his seat to support the Civil Rights Act of 1964, fought to pass Medicare in 1965, and penned legislation like the Clean Air Act, the Safe Drinking Water Act, and the Endangered Species Act that have kept millions of Americans healthy and preserved our natural beauty for future generations," Obama said.
- 'Time to cash it in' -
Dingell, who has served under 11 presidents, beginning with Dwight Eisenhower, said he has grown disillusioned with today's Congress and that he now finds it "obnoxious" to serve in the House.
"This is not the Congress I know and love," he said. "It's hard for me to accept, but it's time to cash it in."
The hard-nosed legislator, who once made Republican adversaries or witnesses at his hearings quiver in their wingtips, claimed the seat that his father held for more than two decades aged only 29.
Dingell is also said to have been in the House chamber as a young page to see president Franklin Roosevelt give his "Day of Infamy" address calling for a declaration of war on Japan.
Last year, Dingell told AFP that he had begun to sour on the partisan gridlock that has come to symbolize the 21st century Congress.
"In the old days there were rules, comity was practiced and compromise was not a dirty word," he said at the time.
"Today, you're sent down here to fight, not work."
While he makes a point of remaining civil with colleagues, Dingell has had his share of battles.
As chairman of the Energy and Commerce Committee for 13 years until 1994 he wielded tremendous power.
The committee's current chairman, Republican and fellow Michigan native Fred Upton, applauded Dingell's political mastery as well as his sense of fairness and across-the-aisle partnership.
"By any standard, he will not only be viewed as the 'Dean of the House,' but also one with an incredible record of getting the job done," Upton said.
The man who once brought a shotgun into the White House -- he was lending it to president Bill Clinton so they could go duck hunting -- takes things more slowly now,
He often putters down the hallways in a motorized cart that has "The Dean" emblazoned on its license plate.
With the congressman retiring, his wife Debbie Dingell, 60, is expected to run for the seat, according to the Detroit News.

great music
in my opinion, the instruments is heard MUCH clearer in this version than in infernus. both are grat songs, but the instruments are better hereXD
I just prefer Infernus because it's longer, and has a much more badass solo at the end.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
>< geez to dam good!
quick question. could u make it..how to say..longer? like for a not to quick but not to slow , but longer fight scene? or can you only do short quick and to the oceans of blood kinda thing? or mix it to where... yah uv listened to it 4 hrs repedly but it somehow changes kind in the middle? mind bend lol. 9 for being awesome and complimenting Xionic 3 -1 for being a little short sorry =P
Yeah, check out my song 'B7 - Infernus'. That's long enough that it should suit your fancy :)
Rated 5 / 5 stars
nice music
it relly goes with the movie it is fricking awsome man
Well thanks. But just so you know, the movie was made around the song, not vice versa :P
Rated 5 / 5 stars
cant wait for the next xionic madness
I know, I thought it was sweet too. Wow I just realized your review is nearly exactly the same as the one below lolz

I do oncology research and truly love my job (I won't bore you with the geeky details). After several years of being a full time road warrior, I am enjoying my time in the city and reconnecting with old friends. I loved seeing the country and have tons of good memories and random suggestions should you ever find yourself in the southern part of the US.
I enjoy cooking a lot (Asian dishes are my forte) and trying new restaurants in the city. I don't especially love clubs but like going to more low key bars and lounges. I think hotel bars are great for people watching.
I am laid back and I think pretty easy to get along with. I make friends with strangers on planes and trains. I am looking for the same. I am not a fan of drama. My ideal match would be smart, passionate (about something -- anything), loyal and all those other good things.
I am very optimistic. I am convinced this is going to be the Maple Leafs year.
I got a puppy earlier this year and she is such an amazing addition to my life. So you must love dogs. We are having fun exploring Boston.

I double-checked my firewall rules, and went through line after line of
firewall logs. I can't see any dns blocks occuring that have anything to do
with any machines on my lan.
I was looking more closely at the config.xml file, and as I enabled/disabled
the DNS Forwarder option in m0n0 (services_dnsmasq.php) I went to the
status.php page and could not find any changes occuring in the config.xml,
dhcpd.conf or resolve.conf files. Shouldn't some kind of change occur in
some configuration file when the DNS forwarder is turned on or off? Could
someone correct me if I am looking in the wrong place to see this change

During his first six months in office, Assemblyman Andrew Raia has put on 20 pounds from the blitz of breakfasts, lunches, dinners and after-hour receptions around the Capitol.
''Say you ate one pig-in-a-blanket, one bacon-wrapped scallop, and one Coke in each place -- just add up the calories,'' said Mr. Raia, a Suffolk County Republican who is partial to fried food. ''It's just the worst.''
Mr. Raia is Exhibit A in the State Legislature's new war on fat.
In the closing days of the session, Republicans and Democrats in the Assembly and Senate are backing competing legislation intended to get people to toss out their Twinkies and potato chips in favor of healthier foods. While neither proposal has a chance of passing now, they have provided fodder for the latest bipartisan squabble.
First, Assemblyman Felix W. Ortiz, a Democrat from Brooklyn, proposed last week to increase the sales tax on junk food, video games and DVD's, among other things. He estimated the tax would generate more than $50 million a year, which he wants to earmark for programs to prevent childhood obesity.
But the proposal -- called the ''fat tax'' or ''couch potato tax'' -- quickly met resistance among Republican legislators, businesses and the food industry. A spokesman for Joseph L. Bruno, the Senate majority leader, said that he would not support any fat tax.Continue reading the main story
Today, Mr. Raia and other Republican legislators announced their own initiative against fat at a news conference, where they took to a treadmill and an exercise bike to make their pitch for healthy living. The equipment was borrowed from an Albany fitness company.
The Republicans want to create a ''fitness credit'' of up to $500 per year on state income taxes for people who join health clubs, buy exercise equipment or enroll their children in sports programs.
Assemblyman James N. Tedisco, a Republican from Schenectady, said that the Republican emphasis on tax incentives -- rather than on taxes -- would encourage more people to exercise and to eat better.
''If you start to put a hamburger in your mouth, they're going to rap you on the knuckle with a big tax stick,'' he said. ''Our approach is the carrot, and we know that carrots have a lot more nutrition and are better for you.''
But Assemblyman Ortiz said, ''My approach includes everybody from top to bottom, because obesity does not have a name.''Continue reading the main story

"More of the same, this is Reconfiguration 2," said Peter Borre, head of the Council of Parishes, a group formed to help churches fight closings. He, and others who fought reconfiguration, see this plan as another way to close churches eventually.
"Because what's very clear is that as these collaboratives are formed, within each collaborative someone will be voted off the island," Borre said. "That's how I've read it through leaked minutes of the council of priests, and that's how it is shaping up."

I'm not going to stop someone going 65, but if I'm only going 55 (or less) because of the weather, and you pass me, then I'll write that ticket. I know, "Who would pass a cop?" You'd be surprised!
so what is your take on passing cops?
I do it all the time, sometimes they are going a bit under or right at the speed limit, and traffic ahead and behind is moving ~5-10 over. A lot of times, everyone will slow down a create a traffic jam just so that they do not pass a cop, but I figure most of the time 5-10 over is OK, so I still pass. Never had a problem with this. I can see if you pass at >15 over....
What about when a cop comes up behind you?
I notice a lot of times people just slam on their brakes or get over immediately. If I am going around the speed limit, and a cop comes up behind me without lights on, I act just as if it were any other driver that wants to pass; sometimes I move, sometimes I do not. Although sometimes, I must admit, sometimes I will not move over because I know that he is just going to blow past me at a speed, that if I did, would get a ticket for.

Sure, the concert documentary "One Direction: This Is Us" is a feature-length informercial for the British boy band, but acknowledging the sales pitch doesn't mean the snow job isn't entertaining.
The film weaves live performances of a dozen of the band's songs, saving the hit "What Makes You Beautiful" for last, with behind-the-scenes looks at the five lads having fun on their first world tour. There's some backstory, as when impresario Simon Cowell describes how he picked the teens from the rejected finalists on the UK version of "The X Factor" and launched them as a unit.
Fans will eat this stuff up with a spoon, while any stray nonfans will likely spend the movie gauging the bubblegum tunes and matching faces to names. (By the end, I could finally tell bandmates Liam Payne and Louis Tomlinson apart.)
Director Morgan Spurlock, whose specialty is deconstructing corporate marketing machinery ("Super Size Me," "The Greatest Movie Ever Sold"), turns out to be a smart choice to build the band's image as cool but down-to-earth guys though their antics can't hold a candle to the giddy chaos The Beatles exhibited in "A Hard Day's Night."

'One Direction: This Is Us'
Opens Friday, Aug. 30, at theaters everywhere; rated PG for mild language; 92 minutes.
