The Champaign school district is looking for a centrally located piece of land for the high school it wants to build, and it's looking for an expert to help.
CHAMPAIGN — The Champaign school district is looking for a centrally located piece of land for the high school it wants to build, and it's looking for an expert to help.
The school district issued this week a request for qualifications for someone to help it identify a central Champaign site for a new Central High School.
The school district is looking for a minimum of 30 acres inside the area bounded on the north by Interstate 74, on the south by Springfield Avenue, on the east by First Street and by the west by Interstate 57.
The school district needs the date of possession for the site to be negotiable, depending on whether taxpayers approve a tax increase for building a new Central High School, and is interested in buying either an undeveloped site or one that includes buildings that could be demolished.
Someone interested in helping the school district find that site should submit his or her professional history, describe the services he or she would offer, include an overview of experience and "familiarity working with public entities or other developments within the district," include a resume for anyone who would be involved, disclose any possible conflicts of interest with the school district and a description of how the developer would work with the school board, school district staff and members of the community. The request for qualifications also asks interested parties to submit three references for similar projects.
The deadline for submissions is Aug. 5, the request for qualifications states, and the board could approve someone to help it at its Sept. 9 meeting.
The school board discussed the request for qualifications at its July 8 meeting, and board member Kristine Chalifoux expressed concern about the possibility of paying a developer twice, once for finding a site and again when the land is purchased.
She said Thursday, though, that she's OK with the request the school district issued.
"It is different than I was expecting, but could be done several different ways," she said. "We can only do one, and this is fine."
Superintendent Judy Wiegand reminded board members at the July 8 meeting that they can decide not to hire someone to help the district find the site, as the request for qualifications isn't binding.
When the time comes for the board to make a decision, administrators would give the board information about how the developer would be compensated, Champaign schools spokeswoman Stephanie Stuart said.
This is the same procedure it uses when hiring for other professional services, like architects, she said.
In the past, the school district has mentioned it's looking for a 40-acre site for a new Central, and Stuart said the request for qualifications mentions a 30-acre site just to make sure it catches all possibilities.
"A smaller plot of land might have some challenges or quirks in terms of what's possible, but they wanted to see all (sites) that were possible," Stuart said.
That's an easy one. The site where the old Humko plant used to be, on Mattis Avenue.
Problem solved.
That's what I was thinking. It's in a great location, already has large roads for access, and wouldn't be really far away from any Champaign neighborhood.
Thirty acres? How many acres does the current school cover?
I am confused as to the reason for a need for one more consltant, which costs the taxpayer. Unit 4 has a consulting contract with the city planning department. That entity alone could identify a package of land meeti ng the criteria. This could also be identified by the RPC staff, the county assessor, the city of Champaign assesso, the Champaign assessor--so why are not these knowledgeable individuals being used for a triangulazation of thei information. Then from the biased perspective any real estate agent in the community could do the job.
The first problem with the Scumko site is the cost to finish cleanup of the carcinogens left from the previous occupant. The district can't pay for that unless you vote to raise your property taxes in November 2014.
Who, of the News Gazette's readership will voluntarily sell their 30+ acres of land for the building, parking and playing fields? Oh, you don't own 30+ contiguous acres! So, are you volunteering your neighbor's property, along with your's?
The district's most affordable choice is farmland north of I-74. Build it and they will have to come.
Put it on west bradley, north side of street between Dodd's and Heritage Park's

Come on. Let's not get insulting. If you can think of ways that something can be improved then make constructive suggestions as to the additions you'd like to see.
You could even clone the plugin and see what information you could add yourself.
Also, the plugin is only ever going to be an overview.

Question about the Stan Lee autograph tickets...
Expand Messages
- Pat,
I want to get one of the tickets to see Stan on Saturday, but at the same time I have to work Saturday morning. I wont be back out around the Monroeville area until possibly 3pm. If the tickets for Stan are being grouped to allow so many by hour and I pre-purchase my tickets, what happens if I'm not there for that hour that the Stan ticket is set for? Is there a way to specify which hour you want to be grouped in for your ticket?

1997 Ford Mustang Cobra Questions
Get answers to questions about your 1997 Ford Mustang Cobra at RepairPal. Find solutions, diagnose problems and get back on the road.Refine by vehicle
I NEED one that I can trust!!! A mechanic that knows the car inside and out. Is successful with what he does...Also, I need him to be in near Chicago Suburbs.
My '97 Cobra has some sort of knocking coming from the engine when I accelerate at or above 2 RPM's. Some have told me it may be a few things. Rod Knock, calve lifter, crank shaft bouncing around (main bearings went caaaput). I just got my oil changed and almost feel the tampered with my car, which again caused me have trust issues. But not just this one time, but many times. My car also has exhaust issues (leak of some sort). The exhaust leak started couple of years ago when my clutch was replaced. I had the clutch repaired A SECOND TIME last year. I was thinking I should go back to them again, but they are not ford Mustang specialists.
By the way, I have owned my '97 Cobra Mustang since I bought it BRAND NEW from the dealer in November '97 (50+ some mile on it at time of purchase). SO I am the only owner. I don't beat on it, either, surprisingly. Garage kept for years.
I need a savior here!! Any help would be greatly appreciated. Phone numbers and location helps!
I changed the plugs and the plug wires it ran a little better, but still sluggish in all gears but worse in 5th what could it be
1997 mustang fan inside only works on high - if you turn the dial to any other setting - nothing happens
My cobra will die sometimes after pushing the clutch in to stop at a light. It will restart after sitting for about 10 minutes. It cut out twice going down the road the other day. It has a fuel cell on it. Any ideas? Sensor? Clogged filter?
Went to take off and it wouldn't sounds like something is spinning underneath but isn't catching to make the car go. What could be wrong? Rear end? Transmission?
brakes go to floor when pressed before stopping....already installed new master cylinder and bleed the MC and all brakes...what are signs of a bad hydro booster and when i bleed the hydro booster there was lots of air but got it all out and brakes still dont work

Mitek said in its most recent 10-Q filing on Aug. 6 that "The Company does not believe that the results of USAA's claims will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations." Mitek reported a net loss of $2.01 million, or eight cents a share for its fiscal third quarter ended June 30, compared to a loss of $2.00, or eight cents a share, a year earlier. Total revenue increased to $3.88 million in the fiscal third quarter, from $3.16 million in the year-earlier period. The company raised $17 million through a common share offering during the fiscal third quarter. From its customer growth, Mitek clearly has momentum for its business. DeBello says the company is "well poised financially to take advantage of the market opportunity before us," adding, "we have a strong customer base and we are unique in the offerings we have." The CEO also touts the company's lack of debt. Cash and equivalents totaled $22.9 million as of June 30. PiperJaffray analyst Michael Grondahl rates Mitek's shares "neutral," with a $5.30 price target. In a note to clients on July 25, Grondahl called the company's third-quarter revenue "solid," but also wrote "We have low confidence in future quarterly revenue but current demand is strong." Grohndahl estimates Mitek's revenue for fiscal 2013 will total $13.8 million, increasing to $18.4 million in fiscal 2014. He estimates the company will lose 30 cents a share during fiscal 2013, with the losses totaling 32 cents a share in fiscal 2014. William Blair analyst Bhavan Suri has a more positive outlook for Mitek, with an "outperform" rating. Suri in a note on July 26 wrote that "given the strong mobile banking and mobile check deposit statistics from the largest U.S. retail banks, notably
Bank of America ( BAC) , as well as the fact that this was Mitek's second sequential quarter with five reorders, we have increased confidence that revenue volatility is beginning to subside." "The company now has a maintenance stream of just over $1 million per quarter that should add to this stability," Suri added. " W e understand investors' reluctance to get involved until the lawsuit has been resolved and there is more predictable revenue growth," Suri wrote. "Still, for those with a 12- to 24-month or longer horizon, the secular trends around smartphone usage and mobile application adoption suggest that the company should be able to deliver material top-line growth and outperform current expectations. We remain buyers of the stock," he wrote. -- Written by Philip van Doorn in Jupiter, Fla. >Contact by Email. Follow @PhilipvanDoorn

What would you like to do?
Name an insect which makes high pitched sounds creating almost 1000 sound waves per second?
Was this answer useful?
Thanks for the feedback!
How fast does a sound wave travel meters per second?
The speed of sound at sea level is 340.29 meters per second.
Is the length of a sound wave or the number of vibrations per second?
See if you can phrase that question in the form of a complete sentence.
How do high pitched sound waves shatter glass?
Answer High frequency sound waves can shatter glass if powerful enough. This happens because the glass vibrates at the same frequency as the sound waves o…n the outer surface of the glass, but at lower frequencies inside the glass. This causes interference in the waveforms moving through the glass, which stress the glass, causing it to break. This is a different effect than when a single sharp sound, such as an explosion, pushes the glass beyond its breaking point.
How many feet do sound waves travel per second?
At sea level in air sound travels approximately 1125 ft/s, however it changes depending on the material in which it travels. For instance, it travels faster in water.
How do sound waves look with high pitch?
As sound gets higher, sound waves get closer together.
What kind of sound waves produce a high pitch?
The kind of sound waves that cause the highest sounding pitch would the the really thin and fast moving ones. There is, however a difference between big waves that are thin an…d fast, making a high pitched sound louder. This fact also applies with low, and thick slow moving waves as well.

Does a guitar make a high pitched sound or a low pitched sound?
The pitch a guitar makes is totally dependent on how it is tuned and where it is played. But in standard tuning the lowest pitch of a guitar (Low E) as around 82Hz and the hig…hest pitch (4 octaves above middle C) is 1050Hz. Cosidering the Human hearing range is 20Hz-20,000Hz, the guitar makes relatively low pitch sounds. It makes pretty much both low and high notes some keys are high notes and others are low.
What waves make high- pitched sounds?
Radio waves
What makes sound high or low pitched?
High pitch = high frequency = short waves = comes from something moving fast Low pitch = low frequency = long waves = comes from something moving slower
In Mechanics
What sound waves make low pitched sound?
Pitch is affected by the frequency and wavelength of a sound wave. When the frequency is lower there are not as many waves per second, and the wavelength becomes longer. A low… pitch is made by the low frequency and long wavelength of a sound wave.
In Physics
Does a violin make a high pitched sound or a low pitched sound?
Compared to a tuba, it's higher. Compared to a piccolo, it's lower.
In Science
What sound waves make high pitched sounds?
High frequency sound waves.
In Physics
How can you make a high or low pitch sound?
Sound is made when air is forced through the vocal chords at the top of the larnyx. The chords sit atop the trachea. When they are constricted, you make a squeeky sound. Whe…n they are relaxed, you make a lower pitch sound. This is done subconscienously.
In Science
If a wave has a high frequency what will the pitch of the sound be like?
High pitched.

Psy Trance Party "Sambhala" in Osaka, Japan
Yesterday goa-psy trance party named "Sambhala" was held at the temple Suminoe Peace in Osaka, Japan. It was chill day. In fact the party started from Saturday night, but I cannot dance without sleep, so I attended at Sunday morning. It is a pity that I could not dance with DJ Demoniac Insomniac from Macedonia. I met with him in the morning and offered Sake, rice wine, but he seemed drank much so he saind "I drank enough." Anyway I could dance with Dark Psy Trance music played by various DJs. When I leave the club, I said "Terima kasih, Bunsai." He replied "Sama-sama." He memorized the Malay word when Singaporean DJs came to his club to play.

In terms of music, my tastes are pretty fluid. I tend towards alternative/indie pop.
I'm a big fan of food. I really enjoy sushi, Chinese, Thai, Italian (pasta pasta!). I'm vaguely fond of Indian. I have two weird quirks: I don't like the smell or taste of plain bread -- I don't eat sandwiches or anything that has too thick of a crust. I also don't like salad dressing or really any sauces such as ketchup, mustard, etc. That being said, I can find something to eat anywhere.
2. Chipotle (I know its unhealthy but it's soooo delicious)
3. My Mac (because...well I use it for everything)
4. Swiss Gear Backpack (it has saved the day on too many trips to count)
5. Books/Imagination (there are so many worlds to explore)
6. Passport
Also, more serious things...future/career/love/existence/etc.
And usually what I should cook for dinner

Legalizing same-sex marriage in Minnesota on August 1, 2014 opened a lot of doors for homosexual couples across the state. Not only were their unions now allowed and recognized by state law but they now had rights concerning other family law issues such as child custody and divorce.
But although heterosexual couples in our state have been exposed to how the courts handle family law issues for decades now, this process is relatively new to a lot of homosexual couples. It's because of this unfamiliarity with the law that has led many to seek help from knowledgeable attorneys who can help them with the processes they may encounter.
Before seeking the help of a skilled lawyer though, there are a few legal topics that same-sex partners in Minnesota should consider and be prepared to address. If the couple is seeking a divorce, the first thing to consider is how you want to go through the process. Do you want to engage in the typical divorce process or would you prefer a different option such as divorce mediation?
If you and your spouse have children, whether biological or adopted, considering how you will share custody will be important as it will help you create a parenting plan that is both agreeable as well as in your children's best interest.
You may also want to consider the possibility of child support payments as well. Considering your finances ahead of time will prepare you for the difficult question of who will be obligated to pay their ex-spouse -- possibly even shortening down the amount of time it will take to make this determination as well.
Because you and your partner may not be living together after a separation, it's a good idea to consider property division and who will get the home you may share. This is important to keep in mind because relocations can affect child custody and visitation, which may further necessitate the need for an experienced lawyer.
As you probably realize, there are a lot of things to consider when it comes to same-sex partners and family law. But with the help of a lawyer, you will be able to not only address the issues at hand but meet a resolution that both you and your former partner can agree on.

Flyboys Soar
October 15, 2006 11:37 pm
If a great movie is defined by, "leaving the audience wanting more" ... Flyboys is the must see movie of the year!"
I admit I was a bit skeptical of the pre-movie hype, another "Independent" film boasting the true grit realities of war, a movie steeped in fact, based on historical events. The World War I film appeared to have it all: strong plot and interesting subplots, on the edge of your seat action, drama sprinkled with humor, attractive actors who could actually act, breathtaking cinematography, and memorial soundtrack, and a lion (if you just go to view the lion, the price of the movie is well spent).
Yet, an hour into the film, I could hardly wait for it to end. I had an uncontrollable urge to not only research the young American WWI pilots dubbed the Knights of the Air ... but an even stronger desire to find out how many of the aerial dogfights were performed by actual vintage airplanes, and how many scenes were computer generated.
The Flyboys' plot revolves around a handful of brash idealistic Americans known as the Lafayette Escadrille. These brave young men volunteered their services, and often their lives, to fight alongside the French, as novice pilots in WWI. Reinventing 1917 France was not an easy endeavor, especially on a shoestring budget. It called for innovative and dedicated movie enthusiasts, like director Tony Bill and writers Phil Sears, Blake T. Evans, and David S. Ward, who filmed the movie on the 300,000–acre Stanford Training Area in Britain, with a cast of virtually unknowns.
Instead of shooting with traditional film, the movie was shot entirely in digital cinematography using an untried groundbreaking camera ... the Panavision Genesis 35 mm Digital. The aerial battles were even more incredible with the help of an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) and the Eurocopter AS-350, which created realistic flying responses from the Nieuports and Fokker vintage replica planes. Combined with limited, yet skillful use of CGI and blue screens, created lifelike stomach churning highflying, in the middle of the battle, aerobatics.
Of course, the Flyboys would never have gotten off the ground without the outstanding group of fresh faces posing as the WWI pilots. In training for their parts, the actors all took to the air in the vintage aircraft and were filmed flying, bringing the movie's realism to new heights. The young ensemble cast included new comers Philip Winchester, Abdul Salis, Tyler Labine, David Ellison, and Jennifer Decker.
Also staring heartthrobs James Franco (the ever-brooding upcoming superstar, best known for his recurring role of Peter Parker's rival Harry Osborn in the Spider-Man series), and Martin Henderson (hunky New Zealander, star of Bollywood's Bride and Prejudice). Adding to the mix, the brilliant veteran French film actor Jean Reno (the group's commander), and Shaka the 15-month-old lion (masterfully playing the part of Whiskey, the scene stealing feline).
Without question, the non-humanoid stars of Flyboys were the vintage aircraft. With each trip into battle, the planes took on specific personalities as they struggled to outfight and out fly each other. I too struggled trying to differentiate between computer generated imagery and the real deal. With the exception of the zeppelin encounter, it was impossible to distinguish reality from computer generation. The director delivered on his promise of putting the audience in the pilot's cockpit. Every aerial scene was an on the edge of your seat experience!

Seems to be an actionfilled and visually interesting movie, especially for aviaton fans. However - i'm not quite sure, that all shown manouvers are really flyable with the old WW1 biplanes, since their frame was mostly not metal, more made out of wood and pieces of material, plus their engine powers only allowed certain rougher manouvers. But since it's for the pleasure and the action in a movie, i believe it has to be done that way. Anyway, for sure an entertaining movie, if your interested in the theme.
Hi CSGALAXY, Thank you for your interest in the movie and the article. For additional reading on the creation of the movie and the aircraft involved, I would suggest clicking on the "Creating WWI Air Space" link at the end of the article. I am not a huge fan of flying, nor am I an expert on vintage aircraft. The thought of going to another war movie is akin to how my dogs must feel when I take them to the Vet. Even with all my negative baggage, I found the movie extremely entertaining. Each time the planes took to the air, my heart began to pound. Was some of the flying Hollywood enhanced? I am sure! However, the writers and director did their research, and appeared to do their best to keep the aerial battles within the realm of realism. I particularly found the techniques used to shoot the flying sequences, combing real action with a minimal use of CGI, fascinating. The current trend in movie making is to do all dangerous feats in the studio, with the Techies creating the real life action through the magic of CGI. I found it refreshing that the majority of the flying scenes were created using actual replications of vintage planes, while performing real life dogfights. Thank you again for your comment and I hope you get a chance to view the movie on the big screen. Dee-Marie
I like the review that you've done. The detail was very good. As to the planes in the "War to end all wars" one might be very surprised as to their construction. Anthony Fokker used welded steel in his fuselage and you might remember the British used plywood in their Mosquito in WW2. The speeds flown made for some very tight turns and snappy acrobatics when coupled with rotary engines. It will be very interesting to see.
I liked the movie. I've always been a WWI Aviation buff. It seemed realistic. Only thought I had was saw alot of the Forker DR1s. I think in reality there would have been much more of a mix of Albatros II, IIIs etc...Some good mockups of the large WWI bombers were interesting.

Grilled Asparagus and Red Onion Pizza
We've started a new tradition in the goodLife {eats} house. Friday night is pizza night. Obviously not a new concept, but it is a fun weekly event for us. As kids, my siblings and I made pizza with our dad a lot. It wasn't necessarily a calendar event that occurred Friday nights, but it was a special dad thing we did and I always looked forward to it. Dad loves artichoke hearts so we always had lots of those on our pizza. And never olives on his side.
Food traditions are a fun part of family life and I'm enjoying starting some of my own and continuing the ones I loved from my childhood. For our pizza night, we like to mix things up. Sometimes we order from our favorite place. Other Fridays we make our own. It feels like a special treat at the end of the week and now that I've found a pizza dough recipe that I like, it's really pretty easy.
Last week I wanted to make our own to avoid eating out, but didn't really have much left to cook from by the end of the week and was pressed for time. I threw together an asparagus pizza with what ingredients I had on hand and it turned out really good! Pizza night is something I look forward to now. A night off cooking (even I enjoy that once in a while) or a fun project to work on together. Logan is a great at grating cheese. Some recipes are more complicated than others, but this one was really easy and was great for a busy Friday night.
Grilled Asparagus and Red Onion Pizza (1 pizza)
a goodLife {eats} creation
- small bunch of asparagus
- half a red onion, sliced
- 1 tsp balsamic vinegar
- 1 tsp olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 c fresh grated parmesan
- 1 1/2 c fresh grated mozzarella cheese
- olive oil
Preheat grill. Prepare asparagus for cooking by snapping off the woody end pieces. Cut each asparagus stalk into quarters. Toss asparagus and red onion with balsamic vinegar, olive oil, salt and pepper. Grill until tender crisp and browned, set aside. (I placed a cookie cooling rack on top of the grill so they wouldn't fall through the holes) Brush 1 dough round with olive oil. Evenly distribute vegetables over top. Sprinkle with parmesan and mozzarella.
Preheat oven broiler. Brush grill grates with olive oil. Place crust, on preheated grill (don't close the lid). You won't want to step away because it cooks fast. It will take about 5 minutes, depending on your grill heat. After crust bottom is crispy and nice and brown, take pizza off and place it under the broiler in a stove until the cheese is golden and bubbly.. This will give it a nice browned appearance on top. Alternatively, you can bake the pizza at 475 degrees F in your oven.
Pizza Dough (makes 2 pizzas)
From Cook's Illustrated
From Cook's Illustrated
- 1/2 c warm water, about 110 degrees
- 1 envelope (2 1/4 tsp) instant yeast
- 1 1/4 c water, at room temp
- 2 Tbs olive oil
- 4 c bread flower, plus more for dusting the work surface
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
Measure warm water into a medium sized bowl or measuring cup (with at least a 2 c capacity). Sprinkle the yeast over water and let stand 5 minutes. Add the room temperature water and oil and stir to combine.
Place the flour and salt in the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the paddle. Briefly combine the dry ingredients at low speed. Slowly add the liquids and continue to mix on low until a cohesive mass forms. Stop the mixer and replace the paddle with the dough hook. Knead until the dough is smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes.
Form dough into a ball and put in a deep oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap. Let rise for 1 1/2 – 2 hours, or until dough is doubled in bulk. Press the dough to deflate. Divide dough into two equal portions and shape into pizza rounds.

So what good does a programmatic web API do you? A simple example is a travel agent app that must interface with the apps for airline, rental car, and hotel companies. The obvious way to do this is via the web, which we humans can do today via the companies' web sites, but which is still tedious and non-standard for a client app to do programmatically.
Taken to its logical extension, Web 2.0 will even change the way we humans use the web. Why does a particular web site have to look the way it does and work the way it does? Say you like Amazon's ability to browse books, but hate the way the web site looks, or hate the limitations of accessing the book catalog using a web browser. No problem. You can use a client app that runs in its own GUI (web browser, thick client, whatever), accesses the data Amazon makes available, and displays it to you the way the client app chooses specifically for you, not the way Amazon chose for everyone. Amazon in fact has web services available, AWS, which enable you to this; so do eBay and Google.
Eventually, thanks to our web client apps, we'll start to lose the concept of web sites. Why should your client app show data from just one web site at a time? Why not have a personal finance app which shows you your bank accounts, mortgage, car loan, and stock portfolio all at once by accessing all those financial companies' web sites simultaneously?
It's the evolution of the information you need when you need it in the form you want it. TV channels mean a lot less with TiVo-style DVRs. Radio stations mean a lot less with podcasting. Web sites will mean a lot less with Web 2.0. It's the next iteration of the web.
Some links for more info on Web 2.0:
Also, as for the term "Web 2.0": It's the idea that's important, not the name. As D. Weinberger puts it: "I haven't been a booster of the "Web 2.0" phrase because it sounded like something a conference organizer desperate for novely came up with." (I guess that desperate conference organizer would be O'Reilly!)

My First Wikipedia Editing Experience
Bobby Woolf 120000HQ53 Tags:  non-technical 1 Comment 1,047 Views
I've used Wikipedia a lot, but only for reading. I've never edited any of the pages, until now.
What did I edit? I changed the List of Web service markup languages page to add a reference to the REST page. I also updated the REST page to link to the pages on Web service, List of Web service markup languages, and Comparison of Web service markup languages. Wow, think of all the value I've created!
I hope this experience will be better than Bob Sutor's, where his changes got taken back out again. Wikipedia users have a reputation for policing the site, and it sounds like they sometimes overdo it. My changes are still on the site right now, but if they're not by the time you look for them, you'll know what happened.
BTW: Why was I reading the Wikipedia page on REST? Stay tuned.

Web 2.0: MVC for the Web
Bobby Woolf 120000HQ53 Tags:  soaesbws 4 Comments 2,948 Views
I've talked about how Web 2.0 makes web sites available through web services APIs. Another way of looking at all this is in terms of the MVC paradigm/pattern.
The model-view-controller (MVC) approach separates an application's model from its view. The model is the app's data wrapped by the functions/services it performs. The view is a UI for displaying the model to the user. An app should use MVC to separate its view(s) from its model, so that the model can support multiple views, can run without any views (headless), and so that changes to the model's implementation don't affect the views' impls and vise versa.
As I've described previously, the only interface (most) web applications have is an HTML web GUI. The app should also have a programmatic API that can be invoked across the web via web services. In fact, the web GUI should be built upon the services. In practice, the web GUI probably won't use the web services APIs and instead will use something much more efficient such as simple/local or remote Java calls. Also, the web GUI may need access to services/functionality in the app that is not made publicly available via web services. Nevertheless, the idea is to apply the MVC approach to web apps, to separate the web GUI view from the app model; then the app model's services can be exposed as web services, so that Web 2.0 client apps can invoke the services programmatically.

Web 2.0 and Pervasive Computing
Bobby Woolf 120000HQ53 Tags:  soaesbws 1,600 Views
I've been talking about what Web 2.0 is (or at least what I think it is). I think it's going to have a significant impact on another area of computing, pervasive computing.
Pervasive computing is the idea of lots of little computers--PDAs, dashboard systems, Dick Tracy wristwatches, etc.--that make computing and data available anywhere, anytime, conceivably embedded into any appliance or accessory. A problem with pervasive devices is the seemingly endless variety of UIs needed--based on screen size, resolution, whether there even is a screen, etc. The approach so far has been either for the device to display a standard web page (and require a lot of scrolling on a small screen) or for web sites to be designed to support small screens and limited bandwidth with alternate GUIs just for pervasive devices. Each approach puts the burden on either the user or the site developer.
Web sites with APIs--Web 2.0--should help resolve this problem. The site makes the data available but lets the device--which knows its screen size, resolution, etc.--decide how to display it. The device can even detect its bandwidth and adjust its data requests, graphics requests, etc. accordingly. The device can even choose a non-visual UI, such as an auditory UI for a car dashboard. The site concentrates on one API, Web 2.0; the user gets a UI that makes sense; the device's client app, which can more easily be different for each different device, makes up the difference.
One catch is that for a particular device to be able to display most any web site, the sites will need standard APIs so that the device knows what to expect. (As usual, as much as we're actually solving the problem, we're also kind of just moving it around.) Another catch is that the device will need the processing power to apply an XSLT stylesheet to the XML data to display it. But this probably isn't much more CPU intensive than parsing HTML and displaying it.
So, you heard it here first (or has this already been said elsewhere?): This whole Web 2.0 thing is finally going to help make this whole pervasive computing thing really work.

How to Implement a Service in J2EE
Bobby Woolf 120000HQ53 Tags:  soaesbws j2ee 2,360 Views
This probably isn't any new info, but let's make sure we're on the same page here, especially since I haven't seen this discussed extensively anywhere; it's just assumed. The way you implement a service in J2EE is with a stateless-session bean.
A stateless session bean (SSB) is a kind of EJB that manages a user's access to an app's domain model. As an EJB, an SSB manages overhead issues like sharing of instances, thread reuse, transactions, and security; this lets the SSB developer focus on implementing code for business logic. Because an SSB is stateless, a user only cares about using an instance from a pool of the same type; since all instances are the same, which one a particular user gets makes no difference.
For example, a banking SSB might have methods like
makePayment, and
transferFunds. Each method is stateless, so it needs appropriate arguments like account IDs and payment info.
Services are also considered stateless; all state must be passed in as parameters. Web services are stateless, HTTP itself is a stateless transport.
So in J2EE, it makes sense to implement a service, such as a web service, as an SSB. If the service transport is HTTP, it's easy to add access to an SSB by implementing a service activator (EIP, CoreJ2EE), which in J2EE for HTTP is a servlet. If the transport is JMS, use the service activator pattern again, but this time implement it as an MDB. A J2EE 1.4 container can expose an SSB as a JAX-RPC web service directly; the container acts as the servlet.
Part of the beauty of implementing a service as an SSB is that clients then have great flexibility to invoke it synchronously or asynchronously. I've already discussed asynchronous access using service activators for HTTP or JMS transports. Java clients of the service may wish to invoke the service synchronously, which is easy to do with an SSB--just use its local or remote home and interface. So SSBs make service invocation very flexible.
Some people don't like EJBs. Perhaps they're not using Java, they're using .NET; they'll use .NET's equivalent of an SSB. Perhaps they're using Java but not J2EE, or at least not EJBs. This principle still applies, they would just use a JavaBean/POJO. But that J2SE object would need to handle security, transactions, remoteness, pooling--pretty soon, you've reinvented EJBs, so you should just use EJBs to begin with.
So an SSB isn't the only way to implement a service in Java, but if you want to take advantage of J2EE, then an SSB is a good way to go.

Four Capabilities of an ESB
Bobby Woolf 120000HQ53 Tags:  soaesbws 1,650 Views
What can an ESB do for you?
Bob Sutor has a great blog posting, The Eight Defining Concepts of an Enterprise Service Bus: Universality, heterogeneity, interoperability, incremental integration, qualities of service, substitution, event orientation, and service orientation. (That's eight; you can count them.) In ESB vs. Message Bus, I've pointed out two qualities that Web services have that services in an ESB need: the services should be self-describing and discoverable. I've even said that an ESB is like a network of roadways: custom and evolving.
OK, that's all great. But what does an ESB actually do for you? What features can an application using an ESB, or applications integrated by an ESB, or parts of an SOA integrated by an ESB--what features does an ESB have that those app(s) (parts) can make use of?
I believe an ESB provides apps with four main capabilities:
So with an ESB, applications can invoke services synchronously and asynchronously, transport data, and perform event notification.

Web Services: What is SOAP?
Bobby Woolf 120000HQ53 Tags:  soaesbws 1,460 Views
Web services are generally thought of as SOAP over HTTP. So just what is SOAP?
The most common web services approach right now is SOAP over HTTP, where request and reply messages formatted in the SOAP schema for XML are passed between computers using the HTTP transport. The overall specifications for how this web services technology works is defined as the WS-I Basic Profile, which defines more clearly how the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) specs go together.
Java has web services APIs specifically for supporting SOAP processing: JAX-RPC support using SOAP RPC to invoke Java methods. SAAJ supports sending XML documents over the web (document-style SOAP).

Web Services: What is REST?
Bobby Woolf 120000HQ53 Tags:  soaesbws 6 Comments 4,945 Views
Web services are generally thought of as SOAP over HTTP. Another approach is REST.
An alternative web services technology is Representational State Transfer (REST), an approach that tries to be much simpler than SOAP. The idea is that HTTP isn't just the transport for a web service, it is the web service. By this definition, the web itself is a REST system.
With REST, each resource/object exposed to the web has its own logical URL for accessing it. (The web server maps the URL to the object so that each object doesn't need its own static page or predefined URL.) The services are the HTTP verbs GET, PUT, and DELETE, for viewing, updating, and destroying the object. (There's also POST, which is a heck of a lot like PUT.)
I haven't programmed in REST (yet), but from what I've read, a REST web service for browsing and ordering products might work like this:
The HTTP request and response can contain any HTTP data. It's usually XML (MIME type
text/xml), using schemas defined by the services provider (
example.com in this example). A service may support multiple data representations, then negotiate with the client to determine which to use for that particular client.
A common debate theme within the REST community is how the HTTP verbs (GET, PUT, POST, and DELETE) are supposed to work in a web services context. People describe their services as "I think this is RESTful," meaning that the URLs represent resources and the service implements the verbs properly/as expected. But the developers often seem uncertain of themselves, debate the tradeoffs, and sometimes disagree.
There is no formal Java API for using REST. It's so much like good ol' HTTP, perhaps you don't need a new API or library, just a servlet that performs GET, PUT, POST, and DELETE as defined in REST. (I don't think you can necessarily assume that the average Java servlet is automatically REST compatible!) There's support for REST in Apache Axis 2.0 and an article on implementing REST in Java, "The REST of the Web."
For more info:
Aug 18 Update:
On advice from my commenters (see below; thanks for the comments, guys!), an HTTP GET should have no side effects (makes sense). Creating an order so that it can be returned is obviously a side effect, so GET is not appropriate. Seems like if you wanted your web site/web services to be read-only, you'd only support the GET verb.
Accordingly, I've changed the single GET command that I imagined would create and return an order to two commands: a POST to create the order, which returns the URL for the order, and then a GET to retrieve the order. Two commands instead of one seems like more work, and is definitely more round trips across the network, but apparently this is the way REST (and HTTP) works.
I'm still not clear on the difference between PUT and POST. Notice that I now POST to create an order and PUT to update it. Is this correct?
Not to get grouchy here, but REST is supposed to be simpler than SOAP. Seems like when the verbs are somewhat unclear like this, and when it takes multiple commands and round trips to perform one logical action, it takes away from the simplicity.
Aug 20 Update:
Again, thanks to my commenters for helping me understand REST better.
OK, so PUT is like a setter method (and GET is like a getter method; duh). POST is like "perform an action." This is a true service method, where the service can be anything. It's like document-style SOAP (not RPC-style), where you don't tell the receiver what to do, you just pass the receiver some data and say "process this," and the receiver figures out how to process it.
So GET, PUT, and DELETE are pretty straightforward, actions performed on the resource/object specified by the URI. POST is the miscellaneous verb, telling the resource to do whatever processing it thinks is appropriate.
Where is this stuff documented (besides trying to decipher the HTTP spec)? Seems like there ought to be a simple "REST Style" guide that explains this pretty briefly, but I haven't found one.
I appreciate both commenters' insights, but I found this suggestion a bit concerning: Use the HTTP 201 (created) response, put the URI for the new order in the response's Location response-header field, and put the order XML doc in the response's entity-body. I'm kinda impressed by how creative this approach is, but again it confuses me even more as to why proponents seem to think that REST is so much simpler and easier than SOAP. You need to not only understand these HTTP verbs, but also status codes and header fields? Seems to me that any particular provider's REST services are going to need a lot of documentation, not unlike SOAP or Java or any other programming. How's this simpler?

Web Services: What is XML-RPC?
Bobby Woolf 120000HQ53 Tags:  soaesbws 2 Comments 2,596 Views
Web services are generally thought of as SOAP over HTTP. Another approach is XML-RPC.
XML-RPC is an alternate web services technology, a simple technique for invoking an application's method or procedure by sending XML documents in HTTP packets. Sound kind of like SOAP? Well, XML-RPC is the predecessor of SOAP. Apparently Microsoft thought XML-RPC was too simple, added more functionality, and gave the more complex technology the perhaps misleading name/description: Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP).
XML-RPC has gone out of favor. People seem to prefer either SOAP or REST instead.

Web Services: REST and WSDL
Bobby Woolf 120000HQ53 Tags:  soaesbws 2,020 Views
I've talked about the REST approach for web services. Does REST work with WSDL?
Individual web services are typically described with Web Services Description Language (WSDL) documents. WSDL describes a web service in four parts:
WSDL is independent of SOAP, but closely related to it, since the request and response messages are usually assumed to be formatted as SOAP.
So do WSDL and REST get along? Some say sure, some say "no way," and others say "why bother?" It seems to depend on how deeply you drink the Kool-Aid on REST. Seems to me that the port type section doesn't do much for REST, since the operations are always GET, PUT, POST, and DELETE. The port type would just specify which of those four verbs are supported. The bindings section might be useful for finding the hosts of REST services, but that pre-supposes those services are described by WSDL and can be looked up in something like UDDI.
Which leaves the messages and types sections of WSDL. Here there's a fair bit of disagreement between the SOAP and REST philosophies. SOAP is more strongly-typed, saying "Here's the format; take it or leave it." REST is looser; a single service might support multiple formats; the client and host negotiate which format to use for each transaction. The REST message formats are assumed to be XML, but even that's an implementation decision. The SOAP body is an XML document (specifically, the root element). So SOAP and REST agree on XML, but SOAP specifies only one XML schema whereas a REST service may support many. WSDL for a REST service would specify only one XML schema, therefore limiting its flexibility.
So, does a REST service even need the flexibility to support multiple XML schemas? If it can settle on one request/response format pair for a particular operation (GET, PUT, or POST; DELETE doesn't need data), then it seems to me that the REST service can be described with WSDL.

Where to Learn about Java
Bobby Woolf 120000HQ53 Tags:  rad was java j2ee 8 Comments 3,786 Views
A reader recently asked: Which web sites (if any) do you frequent to keep up with Java goings-on?
Hmm, that's a good question. Here are a couple you might want to check out.
I do a lot of my learning by reading books, so one of my very first blog postings was What You Should Be Reading. This is a theme that has come up a number of times in my blog, so Google for that. Likewise, check out a frequent recommendation of mine, the ISSW Recommended Reading List, which is mostly articles and web sites, not books, so that they're freely and immediately accessible.
The reader proposed one possibility for a good web site to learn about Java: The Server Side. I tend to find The Server Side to be kind of a super market tabloid of a Java news site; more interested in shocking than educating. There, I've said it, let the hate mail begin. (sigh) When I peruse The Server Side, what I find is lots of announcements for new versions of frameworks I've never heard of, which doesn't make me feel more knowledgeable about how to use Java. To anyone who wants to defend The Server Side: What would be useful is for you to highlight sections of the web site for learning about Java, and thereby prove what a good educational site it is; I'd like to know.
There are other Java web sites which tend to be educational and helpful. My collegue Kyle Brown publishes and comments occasionally on JavaRanch, which seems to actually have informative articles. Along the same lines, jGuru seems good. A performance-specific site is Java Performance Tuning; a similar site is Precise Java. (Also in the Google list of Java performance sites is one called Nawa Shibari, but judging from the root page, I'd say it seems to be something very different! Is this where Java performance enthusiasts go when they're not tuning Java?!)
OnJava is O'Reilly's take on things. Javalobby is kind of the closest thing Java has to a political action committee. And finally, at the risk of simply endorsing my own employer, there are lots of good articles in the developerWorks' zones on Java, WebSphere, WebSphere Application Server, IBM WebSphere Developer Technical Journal, Rational Application Developer (and the older WebSphere Studio zone), and so on.
That should give you some stuff to browse for a while. Hope you find it helpful.
Aug 23 Update:
Another helpful site is java.net, run by Sun as a newsie addition to the main Java Technology site.

Web Services: REST vs. SOAP/WSDL
Bobby Woolf 120000HQ53 Tags:  soaesbws 3 Comments 14,132 Views
Which is the simpler approach for implementing web services, REST or SOAP/WSDL? I've been thinking about how they compare.
Supporters of the REST approach claim that it's simpler than SOAP. (By SOAP, we really mean SOAP and WSDL, since SOAP is just a data format, not a service.) Amazon Web Services implements both, and there are claims that 85% of the AWS traffic is REST (therefore only 15% SOAP). I have no idea if these numbers are accurate, or how they change over time, but let's suppose they're accurate. This is the main REST drumbeat, that REST is simpler than SOAP.
So is REST simpler? Hmmm, from who's perspective?
REST leads to lots of little URLs--one per remotely-accessible object, plus URLs for listing objects and creating new instances. For example,
http://example.com/product/12345 could provide access to the
Product instance whose ID is #12345. No non-trivial app can nor should have that many static URLs or HTML/XML/whatever pages, so the way REST works is to map lots of logical URLs to objects/resources in the app. This puts complexity on the client to figure out which of a seemingly endless list of URLs to invoke for the desired behavior, and puts complexity on the host to map this vast set of URLs to useful behavior or objects. SOAP has fewer URLs, basically one per port type defined in WSDL.
Thanks to all the URLs in REST, each URL's behavior is pretty darn simple. There are only four operations: GET, PUT, POST, and DELETE (although it appears that POST can be overloaded to do lots of things depending on the request document; see What is REST?). So assuming the operations' behavior is truly as intuitively obvious as it's supposed to be, once you've got the URL, invoking the behavior should be simple. A SOAP/WSDL service has fewer URLs, basicly one per port type, but lots of operations, as listed in the WSDL.
SOAP and REST seem to agree on XML as the data format of choice. But a SOAP/WSDL format requires a particular XML schema for the SOAP body (a schema for the request and another for the reply). A REST service, in theory, can support multiple formats; the client and provider negotiate which format to use for a particular invocation. Will these negotiations really make REST simpler? Or will a typical REST service maintain simplicity by only supporting a single format?
These are points upon which learned men can disagree. Do you prefer lots of URLs and a small, constant set of fine-grained operations (REST)? Or fewer URLs, each hosting a larger, application/service-specific set of potentially course-grained operations (SOAP/WSDL)? Do you want to support one set of XML data formats (SOAP/WSDL) or potentially negotiate the data format every time (REST)? Which do you think is simpler?
Some other thoughts along these lines:

BAD 1. Only 5 free keys for you to start playing with. 2. The game isnt sensitive at all. Which means you have alot of misses. 3. Not so much fun games.
