Takes Five Richard Posner
Richard A. Posner has been a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th District in Chicago since 1981 and teaches part time at the University of Chicago Law School. He has written more than 30 books, mostly about how economics can be applied to legal subjects such as antitrust laws, public utility regulations and contracts. Posner founded the Journal of Legal Studies to encourage economic analysis of law. Posner, 66, a Yale and Harvard Law School graduate, spoke about copyright and patent law Monday afternoon at Marquette University Law School. Before his speech, he talked to Journal Sentinel reporter Meg Jones.
Q. You're visiting Marquette to talk about your concerns about copyright and patent law - what are your concerns about copyright and patent law?
A. The concern is that there has been such a rapid expansion in intellectual property rights that we have too-extensive protection of intellectual property, and it impedes new creation of intellectual property if you can't draw freely on previous creative works. So the more intellectual property protection we have, the more the public domain from which authors and artists draw shrinks, and it becomes difficult to create new work. That's true also in the patent area. If (there is a) huge thicket of patents out there, then a new inventor will find it difficult to build on existing inventions because they'll have to negotiate with all sorts of patents.
Q. I'm assuming when you were in law school in the early '60s, there were few courses on intellectual property. How have American laws changed as technology has rapidly evolved over the last few decades?
A. There's no question intellectual property has become a much more important field for a variety reasons. One is the rise of software, which is not only a valuable form of intellectual property, but it also enables very cheap copying. And that, of course, has created a lot of tension, especially with the popular music industry because they're worried that file-sharing software programs enable copyrighted music to be copied basically costlessly (and) instantaneously with no loss of quality. The other reason is just the rise of entertainment, the hugely profitable character of many forms in the entertainment field.
But also with science and technology, there's more rapid and extensive technology developments and more pressure to grant patents, but also to circumvent patents.
We've passed from an industrial economy to an information economy and information is the domain of intellectual property. It's a much more important field of law than it was years ago.
Q. Do you foresee legal battles over intellectual property rights from stem cell research?
A. Already there are intellectual property fights involving research tools which would be organic material used in scientific research. For example, Harvard has a patent on something called the OncoMouse. The OncoMouse is a mouse that's very susceptible to cancer. It's very useful to use in research. So since you can patent living things, sections of DNA and so on, sure stem cell research leads to, as they hope it will lead to, important medical therapies. Then, yes, there will be fights over the commercial use.
Q. You worked as a law clerk for Supreme Court Justice William Brennan. Do you think Justice Antonin Scalia should be the next chief justice to succeed William Rehnquist?
A. (Laughs.) I'm not permitted to speculate about such matters or make such recommendations.
Q. The slayings of Judge Joan Lefkow's family in Chicago have shocked many people, particularly after the killer committed suicide in West Allis and left a note explaining he wanted to kill her because she ruled against him in court. As a judge in Chicago's 7th Circuit Court of Appeals, are you worried that judges are becoming more of a target from people upset about their rulings?
A. There hasn't been a study to suggest increased frequency. Since the federal judiciary was created 216 years ago, there have only been three assassinations of federal judges. Now the incident involving Judge Lefkow's family, of course she wasn't assassinated, but you can treat this as four. So, four in 216 years. That's obviously very few.
Now it's true that these four are all since about 1960 or 1970, so they're concentrated, but even so there's been a substantial increase in the number of federal judges in that period. But in any event, a sample of four is too small to draw conclusions about a pattern of increased risk. There's been an even larger increase in federal litigation, and really the more litigation you have, the more unstable people (you have.) That seems to be the problem really you're going to have. So it may be that there's somewhat of an increased risk, but it's very small.

HAMDEN, Conn. For the first time in 45 years a Clarkson University hockey team will be playing for a national championship.
Clarksons womens team earned their first appearance in a title game with a 5-1 win over Mercyhurst in a semifinal before 3,171 fans at the High Point Solutions Arena on Quinnipiacs campus Friday night.
The Golden Knights (30-5-5 overall) will meet two-time defending national champion Minnesota (38-1-1) for the title at 3 p.m. Sunday. Clarksons last appearance in a national title game by the mens team was in 1970 when it lost to Cornell University in Lake Placid.
It was an exciting night for us, Clarkson co-coach Matt Desrosiers said. It was the biggest win in the programs history. I thought the girls did a good job just sticking with it tonight. I thought we came out maybe with a little bit of jitters and all that.
Clarkson came out strong in the first period and was sending a lot of shots at Mercyhurst goalie Amanda Makela, but couldnt get anything past her.
The Lakers (24-9-4) took a 1-0 lead at 8 minutes, 2 seconds of the opening period when Jaclyn Arbour put in the rebound of her own shot while positioned next to the crease.
We were very excited after the first goal, but we were still disappointed after that period, Mercyhurst captain Christine Bestland said. We knew we had to keep working our systems and keep working hard. We knew we got lucky on that goal there. We knew they were going to come out hard in the second. Tonight they did push us out of our comfort zone. We didnt come and play our game tonight. Its upsetting, no one wants to lose the last game of their career, but tonight Clarkson out played us.
Clarkson, which had been 0-5 when behind after one period this season, came out inspired in the second period and tied the game at 5:00 on a shot from the point by defenseman Renata Fast, for just her second goal of the season.
A hustle play by seniors Jamie Lee Rattray and Vanessa Gagnon made it 2-1 Clarkson at 9:16 of the second period.
Rattray was trying to get to a loose puck behind the Laker net and tussling with two different players. Even after the puck squirted toward a Laker player she kept hustling and got it back and then sent a pass in front of the net which was put in by a diving Gagnon.
We both went for it, Gagnon said of the goal. Jamie Lee pretty much did all the work. She got in the corner and made sure I got the puck and I saws it at the last second, so I dove for it and got the goal. I just had to finish it.
The third goal of the period was off another shot from the point by Fast, only this time it was redirected in front of the net by Christine Lambert to make the score 3-1 at 16:24.
My main goal was to get the puck on net, Fast said. Whether it gets tipped, or it just goes in, I had some big screens up there, so there was a lot of help.
Clarkson has missed All-American defenseman Erin Ambrose (14 goals-36 assists) in its last three games after she suffered an ankle injury in an ECAC Hockey semifinal against Quinnipiac. Fast, and Clarksons other defensemen, have had to pick up some of the production missing with the injury.
Its been great, a lot of our players have stepped up over the last couple weeks to fill in the void of Erin not in the lineup, Desrosiers said. Our defense has done a great job holding some pretty good teams to not very many scoring chances and not very many goals.
The Golden Knights extended the lead to 4-1 at 6:39 of the third period when Rattray skated into the Lakers zone along the boards and sent a quick pass to Brittany Styner, who put a shot past Makela.
The Lakers had not allowed more than two goals in their last 11 games prior to Friday.
Tonight wasnt one of our best efforts, and I think part of that is because of how well Clarkson played, Lakers coach Michael Sisti said. We looked like a young team today. A lot of it had to do with how well Clarkson played.
An empty-net goal by Shannon MacAulay with 14 seconds left closed out the scoring.
Were going to appreciate what weve done, but our main goal is not done yet, Gagnon said. Weve got a big game coming up and were not backing down. They are going to get a hell of a good game.

Okay, so if we don't have 2 computers would the deal be get 3 for the price of 1?
normally, i am so on top of the math, but i can't figure this one out!!! maybe it is the happy hour drink i am sipping! thanks in advance for the help!
I am confused as well. Could someone explain the breakdown if we only have one computer so only 2 coupons. I thought you would buy 2 get 1 free and then apply 2 coupons to the two you bought giving you 2 more free. So by my calculation 5 for the price of 2.
I am unsure of this deal too. I only have 1 computer I can print from so how many bars do I get? Do I pick 4? Then 2 are free b/c of the coupon and a third is free b/c of their deal? And I am not sipping anything like the Previous poster (sounds yummy though)
Someone plz help I downloaded the ibotta app n turned in my first offer n it got accepted but I didn't get the bonus $5 Y?
In order to get your 5 you have to purchase something and upload the reciept for proof. Hth
I did that it says I got the money added on my account said it was accepted but no $5?
My $5 bonus came in a separate email/alert – HTH?!
Offer may have already expired for the $5.
Thanks Collin!
I'm wondering about the drugstore deals list for tomorrow-nothing up yet?
FYI-The Nestle Singles that are Buy 2 get 1 free and then using the 3 B1G1 coupons are up to 79 cents, not the 99 cents that the candy costs so it ends up being $1.59 for all 6
My CVS didn't take my 2 nestle coupons because they didn't scan. They said they only take internet coupons if they scan, they wont manually enter. :(
I'm still confused because the sale is "buy 2 get 1 free" and with 2 coupons for BOGO wouldn't that be buy 2 then you get 3 free? (2 free from the coupons and 1 from CVS) Please help.
to get the most bang for your buck, you buy 6. Then 2 will be free with the store sale. 2 more free with the coupon. So you pay for 2, get 4 free (unless you have a 3rd cpn, that leaves you to pay for 1 and get 5 free)
THanks Collin-we got our 6 on Sat. evening.

Winter 2010
The Missions
England and France weren't the only world powers snapping up tracts of vast North American land in the late 17th century. Spain, too, laid claim to real estate along the fertile and flourishing banks of the San Antonio River in what is now South Texas.
P.O. Box 1142
An offhand comment from a park visitor unveiled the untold story of a secret Virginia facility where clever interrogation techniques and good old-fashioned eavesdropping helped secure victory in World War II. Now the Park Service is racing to unearth all the details before the last remaining witnesses vanish.
Its Brightest Jewel
From out of the darkness over Duncan Bay, a loon calls, a low sound shaped like the moon rising. It is early, a string of stars still tangled in the branches along the horizon, but out beyond the Narrows, to the east, the sky has turned the color of campfire coals. I lift the paddle once, sliding it silently through the dark water to turn the canoe toward the coming sunrise, and then drift, listening again for the loon.

Sony has just confirmed that the DualShock 3 controller made for the PlayStation 3 won't work with the PlayStation 4, even if the PlayStation Move motion control system is compatible with the next-gen console.
The PlayStation 4 was revealed to the world yesterday and, while the actual console wasn't showcased, Sony presented its controller, the DualShock 4, as well as its special PlayStation 4 Eye Camera.
Now, Sony Worldwide Studios head Shuhei Yoshida has revealed to Polygon that the PlayStation 4 won't support the PS3's DualShock 3 controller.
Even so, the next-generation console will be compatible with the PlayStation Move.
Other details about supported peripherals will be shared in the future, according to him, so PS3 users might still have some use for their various items, like the wireless Bluetooth headset.

Cibola National Forest
March 15, 2014, 04:50:15 am »
CIBOLA COUNTY - On National Forests, there are a large variety of recreational opportunities. These include bird watching, camping, hiking, and hunting to name a few.
There is another type of recreation called motorized recreation that uses off-highway vehicles (OHVs), which includes four-wheel drive vehicles, dune buggies, dirt bikes, and all-terrain vehicles (ATVs). Since 1972, the number of OHV users in national forests has risen by more than 1,000 percent.
Motorized recreation in the right place at the right time is a legitimate recreational activity on national forests and grasslands. However, irresponsible use by a small number of riders is becoming a growing problem. These riders leave lasting impacts by traveling off roads and trails and creating unauthorized roads, ruts, and trails.
When ATVs (and other OHVs) go up hillsides, they damage vegetation, leave ruts and when it rains the soil is washed away and fills our streams and arroyos. Meadows and grasslands are being permanently scarred when ATVs go through them. Riparian areas along streams and lakes are being damaged. Archeological sites are also being destroyed. Wildlife, fish, and native vegetation are also affected where this irresponsible use is occurring.
In the fragile desert ecosystems of the Southwest, vegetation takes a longer time to recover and hundreds of acres of fragile habitat are being damaged each year. One irresponsible rider can do a lifetime of damage.
In order to address the problems associated with unmanaged off-highway vehicles, such as ATVs and OHVs, the U.S. Forest Service was directed to implement the Travel Management Rule. The Travel Management Rule required each national forest and grassland to designate roads, trails, and areas open to motorized use by type of vehicle and time of year. Those designated routes are identified on a motor vehicle use map (MVUM).
Once routes are designated, cross-country motor vehicle use off the designated system is prohibited. A managed system of roads, trails, and areas designated for motor vehicle use will better protect natural and cultural resources, address use conflicts, and secure sustainable opportunities for public enjoyment of national forests and grasslands.
Sometimes when someone hears about the Forest Service managing the national forests in ways that prevents them from using the forest the way they want or how theyve always used the forests, this person feels like the U.S. Forest Service is infringing upon their rights.
But, this is not the case.
So why manage or regulate these activities? To prevent the damage in the forests I mentioned earlier. More and more people are coming to and using the national forests for recreation. This is putting a lot of pressure on forest ecosystems. The Forest Service tries to balance people using the forests and protecting those ecosystems.
The Mt. Taylor Ranger District of the Cibola National Forest has completed the Travel Management Plan. From this plan a Motor Vehicle Use Map (MVUM) has been developed which shows designated roads for all vehicles, trails for ATVs/UTVs, and trails for motorcycles. The MVUM is free and available at the Mt. Taylor Ranger District office and at the Northwest New Mexico Visitor Center.
Within the next few weeks a Motorized Trail Guide will become available at the Southwestern Regional Office, Cibola National Forest Supervisors Office, Mt. Taylor Ranger District office, and at the Northwest New Mexico Visitor Center.
The cost of this trail guide is $2. This guide shows 175 miles of motorized trails ion the Mt. Taylor Ranger District. ATV/UTV cattle guards have been installed at strategic fence crossings. These ATV/UTV cattle guards reduce the incidents of cowboy gates left open and should enhance ATV/UTV use in the District. Additional ATV/UTV cattle guard installations are scheduled this summer.
So, if you like driving around in OHVs, get a Motorized Trail Guide, drive responsibly, and enjoy your National Forests.

NEW MEXICO - Cibola NF Hosting Collaborative Work Sessions for Forest Plan Revision
Dear BRC Action Alert Subscriber,
The Cibola National Forest and National Grasslands is moving forward in revising its Forest Plan for the Sandia, Mountainair, Magdalena and Mt. Taylor Ranger Districts. The Forest released the draft Cibola Forest Assessment Report in April, and just finished a series of public meetings to review, discuss and accept comments and input regarding the report.
The Cibola's next step is to host a series of collaborative work sessions to identify the areas of the 1985 Forest Plan that need to be changed. These work sessions will begin on June 9, 2014 and will provide an opportunity for the public to work with the Forest staff and others with diverse interests to discuss, with increasing detail, what needs to change to ensure sustainability while providing multiple uses.
The Public Collaborative Working Sessions are schedule to start on June 9, 2014. Please see the schedule -- at the link below -- for meeting dates, times and locations. Anyone who wishes to participate in these sessions, but needs assistance with verbal translation or accessibility, should call 505.346.3889 as soon as possible to make arrangements.
The Schedule of Collaborative Work Sessions:
The forest plan revision documents can be found at:

The human body is a complex, organic unit. Its tissues and organs are interrelated and mutually dependent. Therefore the health of the eyes, as the optical organ of the body, can influence and be influenced by any and every other organ in the body.
Acupuncture has been successful in treating a wide range of visual conditions including glaucoma, cataracts, macular degeneration, optic neuritis and optic atrophy. The Western and Eastern medical approach varies in a fundamental way. Western medicine defines eye disease on the basis of the pathophysiological disease process (how X causes Y), and assigns a specific diagnosis to define the underlying pathology. Once this diagnosis is made, the treatment and medication are often the same for patients with similar diagnoses, regardless of differing symptoms. This approach can be very effective for acute conditions, but often falls short for ongoing chronic conditions where the cause or causes of the symptoms are elusive. In Chinese theory, every individual is viewed as unique. Chinese medicine looks for patterns of disharmony in a person to determine the relationship between X and Y. Healing does not depend on identifying how X causes Y, but on how Xs and Ys are interrelated. Practitioners of Chinese medicine do not put labels on disease, but rather determine treatment based on the pattern of symptoms the patient manifests.
According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), all diseases involving the eye are closely related to the liver. It is also understood that the eye is nourished by all of the internal organs in the body. The lens of the eye and the pupil basically belong to the kidney, the sclera to the lungs, the arteries and veins to the heart, the top eyelid to the spleen, the bottom eyelid to the stomach, and the cornea and iris to the liver. The Spleen and Stomach also control circulation in the eyes. Therefore an imbalance in any of the internal organs may lead to eye disease.
Our experience and that of others indicates that visual health is a dynamic process including such considerations as:
the type of work we do (90% of accountants are nearsighted while only 10% of farmers are nearsighted);
lifestyle, which includes whether we smoke cigarettes, drink alcohol and coffee, exercise, attitude, etc.;
adaptation to stress;
computer use;
what we eat as well as how well we absorb nutrients;
health conditions;

Many of you have already sent holiday messages to prisoner rape survivors who are still behind bars. You've heard us telling you what a difference they make, but now I want you to hear about them from Angel.
Angel was raped at knifepoint by his cellmate in a federal prison. He reported the sexual assault, but has received no counseling -- prison psychologists just offered him medication. Although the assault happened in 2009, he writes that it feels like it was yesterday and that he suffers from nightmares and panic attacks. Angel is scared all the time and desperate for help.
Then he got your holiday cards. He writes:
Although you may never know the name of the person who reads your card, please know that even the smallest acts of compassion can change someone's life.
There is still time to send a message of hope! We've far exceeded our original goal of sending 1,000 cards to sexual abuse survivors behind bars -- can you help us reach our new goal of 2,000 cards?

Insider's Guide to Mixing Swing and JavaFX
Injecting the "extreme" into this year's GUI Makeover session at JavaOne, Jasper's finale of blowing up junk email with rocket explosions was really fun and of course completely absurd.
Looking beyond the antics, our message in the session was actually very practical:
You can blend the strengths of Swing and JavaFX to give your Java applications that visual edge that users are coming to expect from modern clients.
If you weren't able to attend the session you can download the GUI Makeover slides (I couldn't resisting drawing a mustache & beard on Chet's face in slide 6).
If you're a Swing developer who's both skeptical and curious about JavaFX, I've broken down the process into 10 steps for integrating your Swing components into a JavaFX application.
Note: We also recognize the need for the inverse (embedding a JavaFX scene into a Swing app), however that is not supported with 1.2 as it requires a more formal mechanism for manipulating JavaFX objects from Java code. The structure of these JavaFX objects is a moving target (for some very good reasons) and we're not ready to lock that down (yet). However,as with most software, this can be hacked (see Rich & Jasper's hack on Josh's blog) but know that you are laying compatibility down on the tracks if you go there.
Honestly, you can pull large portions of your Swing GUIs into JavaFX very easily...
0. Find Your Design
Since every good list-of-10 should go to 11, I've inserted a Step 0 (really the most important step of all): use all means at your disposal to find a good design. If you arn't lucky enough to have that rare engineer who's good at both coding and visual design (e.g. a Jasper Potts or a Romain Guy) and you can't afford to hire a good designer, then study the interfaces you respect and "borrow" from them. The nicest interfaces use effects and animation in subtle ways to bring fluidity to the UI. Here are some random links on the subject (and I'd welcome suggested additions to this list):
- Animation: From Cartoons to the User Interface (from 1995, Self language defunct, but principles still relevant)
- Interfaces That Flow: Transitions As Design Elements
- Excerpts from Josef Alber's Teachings on Color Theory
1. Touch Base with the Language
Turns out that most of the developers I encounter who have a negative impression of the JavaFX scripting language have actually never tried it. A little more than a year ago I was there too; it looked weird and I couldn't imagine why I'd ever want to use anything but Java to code my apps. But it turns out that using a language designed for interface construction is amazingly gratifying. I'll admit there was a little hump to get over in learning to think declaratively vs. procedurally, but once that clicked, I found I can't imagine living without the JavaFX script features of binding, function pointers, and sequences.
So suspend your disbelief for just a moment and browse the tutorial:
JavaFX Language Tutorial
Another critique I've heard is that the declarative, 'scripty' nature of JavaFX leads to unwieldy and hard-to-maintain code; to that I say that it is possible to write crappy code in any language and that JavaFX script does provide an object-oriented model well-suited to the discipline of nice class structure and well-factored code. Just keep using the skills that Java taught you.
2. Download the SDK
Just do it. Go to javafx.com and click on the orange "Download Now" link. I recommend installing the NetBeans 6.5.1 bundle to get the JavaFX plugin automatically.
3. Create NetBeans Project
You'll want to create a new JavaFX NetBeans project (File -> New Project...select "JavaFX" type).
[Note: In the "Create Main File" checkbox, I usually change "Main" to a more descriptive classname for my app because I find it annoying to end up with a dozen "Main.fx" source tabs in NetBeans].
Once your project is there, you can just copy your existing Swing app source code into the "src" directory. For GUI Makeover, we placed the swing sources in their own subpackage for cleanliness. Another option would be to keep your Swing app source in its own Java project and create a jar file which your JavaFX project could use. In our case it was simpler to keep it all in a single project since we wanted to also make minor adjustments to the Swing code (tweaking colors, fonts, etc).
I'll take a moment to emphasize that the core of any serious application should remain in Java and I'm advocating that only the client veneer should be migrated to JavaFX (a good model for separation of concerns anyways). There are numerous reasons for this, but the glaring one is that JavaFX is single-threaded -- any code that needs to run off the main gui thread must execute in Java.
4. Create a Stage
The root of all JavaFX interfaces is a Stage. When you created your JavaFX NetBeans project, it most likely generated a default Stage declaration in your main source file:
Stage {
title: "Application title"
width: 250
height: 80
scene: Scene {
content: [
Text { ... }
Customize that stage as desired. Stage has both a
style and an
opacity variable to make it really easy to create non-rectangular UIs. If you choose a StageStyle of
TRANSPARENT or
UNDECORATED you will have to provide your own input handling for managing the toplevel window in the user's environment (on desktop).
5. Define the Layout
You'll need to replace the content of the stage's Scene with your own UI. In our case with GUI Makeover, our stage was composed of a mixture of FX-node-based panels and Swing components. Since our designer tool isn't yet shipping, you'll have to do this by hand and here's where I'll do a bit of hand-waving, as layout in any sophisticated graphical toolkit is impossible to cover in a paragraph or two. For an overview of JavaFX scene graph layout, you can check out the JavaOne UI Controls session slides where I presented layout in detail (starting at slide 61 -- warning: it's a large slide deck!). My JavaFX layout blog will also be updated soon to reflect changes in 1.2.
Starting simply, you can look at the container classes in javafx.scene.layout (Flow, Tile, HBox, VBox, Stack, and Panel). It's amazing how far one can get by nesting HBox and VBox. If you want the more sophisticated power of a grid style layout, you can use either Stephen Chin's Grid container or MigLayout (ported by Dean Iverson) in the JFXtras library.
6. Embed Swing Components
Any Swing component can be embedded in a JavaFX scene graph using the SwingComponent
wrap() function. This conveniently allows you to directly leverage those Swing components which you've already configured, customized, and hooked to your application data; all that Java code can remain happily unmodified. Once you've created the structure of your scene's layout, you can pull your Swing components into the appropriate locations. Here's a simple example:
def swingTable = new JTable();
Stage {
scene: Scene {
content: VBox {
content: [
// other FX nodes
The wrapped Swing component becomes a leaf node in the scene graph and as such can be manipulated like any other node -- rotated, scaled, skewed, made transluscent, etc. Through some hidden magic which transforms input events, the Swing component will just work, oblivious to its new 2D housing.
The limitation here is that the internals of the Swing component are not nodes in the scene and cannot be manipulated individually using JavaFX graphics ops. It's also worth noting that the entire Swing component can be made transulcent by setting the
opacity variable on the wrapper, but this is not the same as having the Swing component's background be transluscent.
Another important restriction is that although FX script can freely invoke any of the Java apis on the Swing components, JavaFX script's language features (object literals, binding, functions) cannot be used directly with the component. This restriction can be mitigated by creating specialized FX classes which expose the Swing component apis as variables and functions. Many such classes are already provided in the javafx.ext.swing package (e.g. SwingButton) and the techniques for doing so are certainly worthy of another blog.
For our GUI Makeover client, we embedded a Swing JList and JTextArea, neither of which yet have pure FX counterparts. The JList already had a really nice custom cell renderer and we only had to modify the colors to better match the new visual design created by Jasper.
7. Hook up Listeners
Although the magic of JavaFX's bind capability is not available on the embedded Swing components, it turns out to be easy to hook up appropriate listeners to those components within JavaFX script. In the GUI Makeover session, I showed how to create a JavaFX class which extends a Java Listener interface, however, after the session, Richard Bair showed me some syntactic sugar which makes this even easier:
// appcontroller is instance of Java class maintaining various app model state
// No explicit FX listener extension class required!
appcontroller.addPropertyChangeListener(PropertyChangeListener {
override function propertyChange(event:PropertyChangeEvent):Void {
if (event.getPropertyName().equals("selectedMailBox")) {
// handle property change...
8. Add Effects
Now the fun begins. You no longer have to be a 2D mathematician to add effects like drop shadows, lighting affects, or box blurs into your interface. Chris Campbell has created the javafx.scene.effect and javafx.scene.effect.light packages in JavaFX that makes such visuals do-able often with just a single line of code. To mention just a subset....DropShadow, Glow, BoxBlur, Reflection, SpotLight. For GUI makeover, we put a reflection on our toolbar buttons:
def reflection = Reflection { fraction: 0.33 }; // effects can be shared!
composeButtonLabel = VBox {
spacing: 4
content: bind [
ImageView {
image: Image { url: "{__DIR__}resources/compose.png"}
effect: reflection
cache: true // caching good idea for static effects!
label = Text { ... }
You can achieve such effects in Swing (sans JavaFX) using clever Java2D imaging tricks, but the JavaFX language and scene graph capabilities make it vastly easier. What this means is that with very little effort you can experiment to explore what looks good rather than spending a bunch of time getting the math right to discover it wasn't what you wanted (I say this from personal experience :-).
9. Add Movement (but don't over-do it)
Let's face it - the iPhone has raised the bar on interface design. The use of nice transitions to guide your users is now commonplace and expected. Obviously, as we proved with flying rockets in the Makeover session, animation can be taken too far (most engineers I know dream of being gamers) and I recently came across a blog post, flying pixels, which sheds some sensible light on the subject. However, adding subtle animation to give texture, guidance, and pleasure to your users is easy with JavaFX. The goods are in the javafx.animation and javafx.animation.transition packages. Timeline is the driver behind the general animation framework, however many common transitions are greatly simplified by using the canned transition classes, such as FadeTransition, RotateTransition, and PathTransition. In GUI makeover we added rollover effects to our toolbar buttons as follows:
var label:Text; // label on toolbar button
var fadein:FadeTransition = FadeTransition {
node: bind label
fromValue: 0 toValue: 1.0
duration: 100ms // fade-in is fast, don't want UI to feel sluggish
var fadeout:FadeTransition = FadeTransition {
node: bind label
fromValue: 1.0 toValue: 0.0
duration: 500ms // fade-out is slower, like a trailing thought....
composeButtonLabel = VBox {
content: bind [
label = Text { ...
opacity: 0.0 // label doesn't show until mouse-over
onMouseEntered:function(event:MouseEvent):Void {
onMouseExited:function(event:MouseEvent):Void {
And don't forget the rule of thumb that the best transitions are subliminal and arn't even noticed by your users.
10. Draw Your own Conclusions
Skepticism is healthy -- especially in this internet age where we're all peddling something (technology, opinions, egos, tattered copies of The Mythical Man Month). But if you're a Swing developer looking to blend your Java code and skills with next-generation graphics, I'd encourage you to try JavaFX. You can even take your Java and Swing code with you.

JavaFX composer based update ?.
by rktumuluri - 2010-07-06 23:55Amy, Your blogs rock !!!. This is one of many articles and webcasts that I follow diligently. Could you consider updating this article with the latest changes in this area, namely the "JavaFX composer" tool?. I still need to write hybrid GUI's using JavaFX and Swing. Matisse/Swing and JavaFX/Composer are quite usefull RAD tools in this context. It would be really usefull for us to have the "10 commandments" in this scheme of things. Reading between the lines, it appears that awt/swing is being phased out ?. Is this accurate ?. A "position statement" of sorts would again be very very helpfull. Right now this space is filled with FUD. Much thanks again /rk
by dukke - 2009-06-12 08:29Hi, I'm doing a rework of an existing free application called Modellus (http://modellus.fct.unl.pt/) using JavaFX. It's mainly written on Java and developed on another IDE different from Netbeans. It has a portion that is beeing done in JavaFX using Josh's hack. The main problem is how do I debug that portion? I've tryed attaching the netbeans debugger but wasn't able to. Please can you help me? Pretty please?? :)
by stevegal - 2009-06-11 12:03Amy, thanks! Its soooo good to hear that the integration all us "old school" swing developers are after is in the pipeline! Excellent - Happy Swing Developers Everywhere :D
by aim - 2009-06-11 10:17@stevegal - your question (how to embed JavaFX in Swing) was the most commonly asked question at JavaOne, so I've added a paragraph at the top of the blog to address this. Internally we're well aware of the need here and I hope this is something we'll address in a coming release. In the meantime you can experiment with the hack documented in Josh's blog, but make sure to read through all the comments first :-).
by lockenj - 2009-06-11 09:15Hi Amy thanks so much this was exactly what I was asking for at Java One!!!! The FX team and yourself are doing a bang up job and I can't wait to see what in store for us in the future :)
by stevegal - 2009-06-11 06:00how can we add a javafx stage or scene into a swing app (can I provide a JStage or somesuch)? I've seen lots of examples of doing it the other way around - but this would be nice so that us Swing developers can add a bit of Javafx to our exisiting apps without having to access internal sun classes.
by realsnowbird - 2009-06-17 23:35Hi Amy, thanks for the infos! While playing around with JavaFX there's one question which often comes to my mind: Why was it designed as a language? This seems to make things complicated for people who write JavaFX development tools (like the NetBeans JavaFX editor) and for developers who want to use JavaFX. To me, the way of Flex and Silverlight (XML GUI description with code behind file, using a well known language) seems to be a much easier approach for everyone: Existing tooling would be enough for a simple but supportive development environment. Developers would still have to learn about the possibilities of JavaFX but could stick to the languages they already know. Obviously the JavaFX language has some nice features like the integrated databinding, but these things are possible in plain java as well. So my question is: Why is the language approach of JavaFX considered to be more powerful than the way Flex and Silverlight are working? What benefits does the current solution offer compared to a combination of an XML GUI description and a Java code behind file? Thank you for clearing that up to me!
by willismorse - 2009-06-16 09:20Whoops, I just found your answer to my comment on this subject in your last blog entry :-) I'm glad it's on your radar; please keep us up to date, even if it's just a more sophisticated hack. Now if you guys can just open up the JavaFX runtime distribution license so we can distribute it along with the JRE in our installers....
by willismorse - 2009-06-16 09:12Amy - This is great for new small apps. But there's no way we can implement large apps in JavaFX. For one thing, those of us doing desktop app development have either adopted a large RCP framework like Eclipse or Netbeans Platform, or written our own. The language support, tooling, nothing is there to support large-scale development in JavaFX. Fabrizio summarizes some of our concerns nicely: http://netbeans.dzone.com/news/language-apart-what-i-miss That being said, I am totally on board with using a scenegraph-based UI, even for mundane things like forms. We already use Piccolo heavily in our app, and it is a vastly better way than Swing to make UIs. Can someone from Sun please provide some details on why it is so difficult to embed a JavaFX panel inside a Swing app running inside a standard Java main()?
by swpalmer - 2009-06-16 06:48Two big things are still missing: - as above embedding a JavaFx Scene in a Swing application - support for offline installation and distribution of the JavaFX runtime. (e.g. from CD)
by steveonjava - 2009-06-15 02:14Great article, Amy! @stevegal We are releasing a SceneToJComponent class that makes it easy to embed JavaFX Scenes in Swing applications as a part of the JFXtras 0.5 release. The final release will come out in a few days, but for now you can try out the beta here: http://code.google.com/p/jfxtras
by dukke - 2009-06-14 13:52Hi again Peter, To answer your question regarding javafx1.2, I haven't tried javafx1.2 yet. I'm using JFXtras and it isn't ready for it so I can't upgrade yet. That's really strange that no one else at Sun has mentioned and given another workaround for that. I hope you're able to fix that. If you do, please tell me something cause I was planning on upgrading to 1.2. Thanks, Pedro
by christiaan_se - 2009-06-14 07:37Hi Amy, thanks for posting this. You won't believe how many positive comments we get on our swing business application just because it looks good. (Can you believe there were doubts applying java because of this;-) So we can't wait to embed javafx into swing to make it look even better! I hope you guys put priority on this, since it is the best way to increase acceptance for javafx. kind regards, Christiaan
by peat_hal - 2009-06-13 13:43Hi Pedro, > a run method on you scene class. Ah, okay now I understand. Thanks for that! So, my fix to josh's workaroung is not necessary. But still I am missing a workaround for javafx1.2. Do you have such a workaround? Or how did you solve it for Modellus? Regards, Peter.
by dukke - 2009-06-13 11:32Hi Peter, I mean that then you can use josh's workaround. I saw that in your blog you were complaining that you couldn't get it to work. On josh's blog I think he forgot to mention that you have to have a run method on you scene class. Regards, Pedro
by peat_hal - 2009-06-13 11:16Hi Dukke! What do you mean with that? Then I could call the javaFx run method. But then the scene is not embedded in my JComponent, right? Peter. PS: Josh's workaround does only fix javafx1.1. In javafx1.2 the JSGPanelSceneImpl class is missing...
by dukke - 2009-06-12 19:40Peter, Regarding your problems using josh's work around: do you have a run method on your javafx class that extends scene? You have to have one: public function run(args: String[]) { AnimationScene = AnimationScene { } // just an example } Regards
by peat_hal - 2009-06-12 13:19Hi Amy, I'm the author of [1], but now in JavaFx 1.2 there is no such JSGPanelSceneImpl class. Would you mind to give me a way how to use JavaFX1.2 in Swing? Also only a temporary hack or whatever would be very nice of you! Regards, Peter. [1] http://karussell.wordpress.com/2009/02/27/calling-javafx-from-java/
by aim - 2009-06-18 12:01@realsnowbird "why a new language?" is a seriously good question. As I mentioned in my blog post, I was equally skeptical when Sun first embraced JavaFX script. Without getting into an academic DSL vs GP language debate (you can find plenty of those with a quick web search) I will just speak from personal experience. I can create a visually rich user-interface very rapidly using JavaFX script due to a combination of its language features (*binding*, sequences, functions) and the rich graphics/animation capabilities built into the scene graph. And the binding support in JavaFX is not the garden-variety binding framework you'll find in other environments (Java or Flex or Silverlight) - it's an extremely powerful expression-based binding akin to a programming power-drill (vs. a push-drill) (if you believe it's similar to what's offered in other environments then I can tell you haven't actually tried JavaFX yet :-). And the productivity gain comes in spite of the lack of decent tool support, a deficiency which we must remedy (I'm red in the face as I type this). In terms of comparing it to the XML GUI description with Java code-behind file, well in my opinion XML is just cumbersome -- all those angle brackets, quoted tag attributes, and code embedded with "

Universities and their students are our very own 'gold mine'
Posted: August 16, 2013|
A PARTICULARLY grumpy cab driver last week picked me up at the station. Do not start me on the 'worst welcome to Stoke-on-Trent' ludicrously annoying current location of the taxi rank.
Why on earth anyone thought that making our visitors stumble through the rain to the godforsaken car park area would be a good idea, I cannot imagine. Surely taxis must have priority over other traffic at that point? I notice those taking the bus to Alton Towers don't suffer the same problem.
Rant over.... The cab driver, as he made his way towards Hanley, resentfully slowed down as three chattering young people crossed the road. "Bloody students" he said, "they are supposed to have gone by now". This was definitely not a driver with whom to chew the fat, and the conversation stopped there.
But I have been thinking about his outburst over the week. For a city of our size to have one university is good, but to have two is an extraordinary blessing on an area with serious financial issues.
Staffordshire University is not only an employer of great significance, but a centre of excellence in several fields that attracts students from all over the country. These students rent accommodation, often in the very terraces that have been abandoned by their original inhabitants, and make the middle of a city, that might so easily be a hollowed out doughnut, a vibrant and busy place.
While they may not spend that much on domestic cleaning materials (or indeed pottery) they are nevertheless eating, drinking and shopping in the city, all 17,000 of them. So it is just worth thinking that if all of those students spent £10,000 a year to live, eat and sleep in Stoke-on-Trent, the Staffs Uni students alone are putting £170 million into the local economy, that is without considering the fees that pay for the staff and organisation of that university.
As it happens, Staffordshire is not the only university in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire's big brother Keele accounts for another 10,000 students, with their accompanying spending power.
Keele covers different areas of education and is among the most highly rated universities for student experience in the country.
But universities are not students alone. They are also centres of thinking and learning that bring into the area, or in the case of Nick Foskett, Vice Chancellor of Keele, the kind of clear thinking and intellectually rigorous approach that the city needs to continuously reinvent and reinvigorate itself.
They are the perfect intellectual support to the practical work of Stoke-on-Trent and Newcastle Councils. Indeed, Foskett and his opposite number at Staffs Uni, Michael Gunn, are key players, as have their predecessors been, in the urban renewal projects currently underway.
You can see and understand the work of these two universities without any commitment or hard work.
In the summer every year are degree shows for painters, designers, film makers etc right in the centre of Stoke. This is where students demonstrate the fruits of their three, or in most cases four, years' work, in considered and stylish exhibitions.
There are public lectures in both places, there are films shown that will never reach popcorn scattered screens of the Festival Park multiplex, but that close the gap between the city and more metropolitan centres. And perhaps you may be treated by graduates of the medical school, your children may be taught by graduates, or the businesses that you work in may benefit from vocational skills taught in those places.
At Emma Bridgewater, we employ half a dozen graduates from the surface pattern course who help to keep our design studio functioning, thus sustain jobs in the factory.
I hope my taxi driver is reading this, although he may have thrown down the paper in disgust but I know that he is missing the point when he wishes away the mop headed, slouching, perhaps even hoody wearing students who briefly slowed down his progress.
Those young people, perhaps they are your children or grandchildren, are the lifeblood of Stoke-on-Trent and Newcastle. They are its most important economic driver and dwarf any other industry in the area, and even dare I say it, the potteries.
In reality, perhaps the curmudgeonly cabbie should be offering free trips, at the very least he should be aware that every adult he collects may be a parent or a friend of the gold mine that is the universities of Stoke-on-Trent.
Matthew Rice is managing director of Hanley-based pottery firm Emma Bridgewater.

Brent added a post in a topic Monster Energy Trophy TruckI started one of these about 7 years ago, the build thread is on here somewhere. One day it might make it back on the bench.... looking forward to seeing your project take shape.
Brent added a post in a topic IH Scout Pro TouringThanks again.
LOL The way I'm throwing money away on mud it might be cheaper to fly you up LOL. Seems like I put it all on then end up sanding it all off again....;-)
Brent added a post in a topic IH Scout Pro TouringWow super cool!
Thx for the comments guys. I had to put this on hold for a bit. Wife has me renovating the main bathroom. Installing new sheetrock at the moment and mudding the joints. Figured how hard could it be to get a wall smooth when I can get a kit to look like glass...... Apparently not the same thing LMAO.
Anyways I will hopefully get back at this in the near future. In the meantime I finished the frame.
Brent added a post in a topic If you could only choose ONE photo of any of your builds, wich would it be?So many talented builders on this site. It's a honor to be amongst you.
Brent added a post in a topic IH Scout Pro TouringWOW guys thanks for all the comments and feedback. A bit more done, not a huge update...
I tried to mock up the front end using the front bumper, isn't happening so I messed around making a front spoiler.
I also did the hood vents the C10R has.
Rear has been rolled, again didn't like the bumper look.
Brent added a post in a topic 1950 chevy step vanLove it already, cant wait to see more.
Brent added a post in a topic IH Scout Pro TouringI haven't been building seriously for a long while. I'll sneak one in here and there but nothing like I once was.Thank you for the comments guys! They are keeping me motivated and keeping me going on this.
Dino that Pro Street looks great!! I absolutely LOVE the Pro Street scene.
A bit of an update...
Hit the frame with some paint. This color will not be the body color....
Got some other parts painted as well.
And some frame assembly.
Then back to the interior tub. Made a new firewall dog house and cleaned up the rest of it. I may have to clean up a bit more once I hit it with primer.
I'm now working on a roll bar for the interior and a front air dam. I don't really like the front bumper on it so seeing if I can come up with something else. I rolled the back of the body so wont be using a rear bumper either.
I'll keep at it.......
Brent added a post in a topic IH Scout Pro TouringFrame was easy but now things are getting interesting.
The ride height was close but front has to be dropped. I was going to alter the frame but the more I did that the higher the motor would be.I figured no problem as I have a pile of room until I figured out the motor is so set back that it is going into the fire wall.
So I looked at the interior tub and since the side walls are pretty much vertical I thought I could get away with taking some out of it to drop the body on the frame.
Once that was done I had a gap on the sides.
I thinned the door panel (so it would not look so wide) and added a filler strip.
Next I made room for the engine.
Then I sat and pondered how I was gong to deal with this mess.. The transmission hump was massively oversized since a big 4X4 transmission wasn't going to be used. I thought about trimming around it and re making the floor.... Then into the box of goodies to see if I could find another option.
I long time ago I bought a bunch of Nascar kits. about 10 or them. All the kits were missing bodies. I think the guy was using them for slot cars or something. Anyways the width was a perfect fit and would really clean up the underside of the truck.
I cut the floor completely out.
Not sure if i have any less of a mess to deal with LOL.
Sneak peek of ride height as of this moment....
Brent added a post in a topic IH Scout Pro TouringGot the rear tubs done.
Tackled the frame length next.
Brent added a post in a topic IH Scout Pro TouringThx for the replies guys. I'll try not to disappoint.
Kruleworld, Its the AMT Ertl Kit
Brent added a post in a topic Stallone's Mercury CobraYep, you rocked this build!! Nice job!
Brent added a post in a topic Jaaaag XK120- Gentleman's Racer! Paint and Engine Update 7/26WOW!!! Fantastic work!
Brent added a post in a topic IH Scout Pro TouringThe frame was trimmed off and the wheel tubs. Want the open look like the C10R
Next needed to make room for the rear wheels.
Looking for a frame I had built a 39 Wagon Rod and had bought a started kit for 5 bucks. Wasn't really interested in building the kit again so took a good look at it to see if it would be a good donor. It has been very handy to have a completed build to look at. The decision was easy. It had the motor I was looking for, a nice frame and had a great lowerd stance.
The frame was much too long.
Also too wide.....
This isn't going to work.
Wheel offset was very close to working on the back but not quite.
The body was pretty thick so i tried cheating and thinning down the fender well.
It wasn't enough, I needed more room. So I narrowed the frame in the rear..
Now we're talking...
More soon!
Brent added a topic in On The WorkbenchIH Scout Pro Touring
Edit: Oh Shoot, this should probably be in the truck threads.... Sorry Mods.
This build was inspired by Larry Chen's Pro Touring C10R.
I have had a Metal Lathe now for some time and use it solely for business. Thought it was time to "play" with it and see what I could come up with. A big part of the look would be the crazy deep dish wheels, so I grabbed a chunk of aluminium rod and went at it.
Played around with a prototype (on the right) and came up with these...
So now the fun begins. I knew I was going to be in for a challenge tucking these wheels under any body. Looked all through my parts boxes looking for a donor for a frame.The Scout frame was molded in and that wasn't going to work....

I discovered this perfume years ago and it was discontinued in Canada and is not easy to find. I found it at exclusive boutiques in France. I just received my 1st bottle from Frangrancex.com and it is half of what I paid in stores. I'm a little wary about buying online, but my experience was excellent. I will use this site for my skin care products as well.

Comments about Lalique Le Parfum Perfume:
One of my FAVOURITE perfumes of all time! I just LOVE this! It is brilliant in scent, presentation, and price. Lalique perfumes are really great perfumes. Buy a vial to try first and if you find you like it, you will probably want to own all of the lalique scents. Longlasting! I truly recommend, but if you don't like it, all the more for the ones that love it! (me included) :-)lol

Serious Error
Dear, good morning.
I would like to make clear in this discussion, the importance that we give the integrity of our data, in particular our emails.
We constantly see people everywhere reporting infections on their desktops and applications, but I do not see reporting as contracted. Importance would be a good integrity of our emails because we feed them well (cybercriminals) with new weapons by obtaining data on which they should not.
Social networks registered with corporate e-mail, blogs registered with corporate e-mail etc., make each day are more targeted.
As security expert, I always make sure that after all always looking for a culprit for a serious infection or destructive, and at the end of everything as it always has to have a fault, this is a security solution, but we learn that , we have to create its own policy of security as well.
Attached to this discussion, is a video explaining the step taken by an attacker to collect e-mails and perform intrusion attempts with new weapons all the time are created by these criminals.
Remember, a cracker does not use steps "maldados," they create their own weapons and new weapons to attack, so we never have a 100% solution, but if you create a good security policy in yourself, then it will be secured 100%, because a good percentage depends on your security solution, and so another good percentage is up to you forever!
I hope you enjoyed.
Big hug to everyone.

GraigV, good morning.
Thanks for commenting on the forum and thank you also for the idea. I believe in more than half of cases, people suffering from certain types of situations just because of that "broadcast" their information should be confidential. When attacked, they exchange their solutions and answers are always the same: "My solution was not good"
I created this thread with the idea to educate people to take care, because that is how it all begins.
I did what you recommended, I put as a blog, I'll wait just approval, but as always, I hope it is approved.
Big hug and come back often!

Dear Fabiano.
Thank you for sharing. While I do believe I get the gist of your message, it is not very clear. Please can I ask you to re-translate your thoughts into English and not use broken or run-on sentences.
In the meantime, I will watch the video.
Please mark the post that best solves your problem as the answer to this thread.
...you might find that is how Google Translate spat it out. English isn't everyone's first language on Connect
Alternative ways to access Backup Exec Technical Support:
Absolutely agree, CraigV.
I did first check his profile & saw that he was from Brazil. Please also realize that I was not derogatory in my request for a clearer explanation. How can I help if I misunderstand the question? Thus a request for clarification with two suggestions.
Please mark the post that best solves your problem as the answer to this thread.
Honestly I have to confess that my English is horrible, but could not stand to see people here questioning our solution against infections and on top of competitor flag raising. So I decided to write like Google translator wanted lol
I often say that the lawyer should be to work with information technology, because it does not come out in support and defense of my anyway, saying properly, going to war. Be there with a gun that is, as is and where is.
It really is not with the words that should, as in the article that launched on the weak protection of competition, but I post it here writing on my tongue.
Thanks for the comment, I hope the video people can understand more or less how things were portrayed.
Big hug.

Hi Fabiano,
We also have a video section on Connect. Videos are submitted by creating a video page using the create form and then they will be reviewed, processed and then published if appropriate. Typically a 3 - 5 day turnaround.
If you could go ahead and submit your video, I will process it and then we can link to the video from your blog post.

We eat them and take note: the shiny red skin, how they crunch, how much juice spurts out through the skin, and how unbelievably sweet and fresh they are. It's a total pleasure experience. In fact, when they're sweet, it's not easy to eat just a few.
California-grown bing cherries have a relatively short season from May to early June; cherries from other regions are imported to us for the remainder of the summer. According to the California Cherry Advisory Board: Bing cherries have "red/mahogany-colored skin and flesh; the stone is relatively small, while the fruit itself is crisp, firm and juicy. Its sweet, rich flavor makes it the most popular variety" while a Rainier cherry is "recognizable by its golden/pink blushed skin color. It's a finely textured variety with firm, clear flesh and colorless juice. The Rainier offers a very sweet, delicate flavor."
In addition to wonderfully sweet flavors, a recent study by the USDA's Agricultural Research Service (ARS) indicates that "bing cherries may reduce painful arthritic inflammation. Eating cherries may also help lessen the severity of other inflammatory conditions, such as cardiovascular disease or cancer." So, what's not to love?
When purchasing fresh cherries, avoid ones that are soft, wrinkly, leaking, sticky or show any signs of rotting. Once you bring them home, handle cherries carefully and delicately to avoid bruising. For freshness, keep them as cold as you can up to 10 days. Eaten fresh, added to a dish or baked up as a dessert, you'll rarely go wrong with seasonal cherries. Try this recipe for a delightful cherry tart.
Alaskan or Wild Salmon
Fresh salmon from Alaska or Wild Pacific Salmon is a culinary treat to please a fish-lover. Alaska generates more than 90 percent of domestic salmon; the remainder comes from fishermen along the West Coast. Wild Pacific salmon is fairly abundant, wild Atlantic salmon is rare and extremely difficult to get. Farmed Atlantic salmon, with its moist orange flesh is what most of us see, especially fall through spring. So when you hear of wild salmon, it's probably Pacific salmon.
The flesh of Pacific salmon, also called king salmon or Chinook, is usually red but there are rare species of white flesh. Wild salmon has a high fat which is marbled like a steak. The fat gives the salmon much of its flavor and its degree of fat tells you something about where that salmon spawned. Fish often travel great distances to lay their eggs, particularly up Alaskan rivers like the Copper and the Yukon. To make that journey, the salmon must have a reservoir of fat. The longer the journey, the more fat and the more flavor.
The consumer market for wild king salmon has grown considerably over the last decade due to concerns about the pesticides, wastes and dyes of farmed salmon. Increasingly, consumers wait for the wild salmon season and enjoy (or stock up on) the fresh fish when they can.
Use a reliable fish market to purchase your wild salmon. To discern what you are consuming, always ask questions to find out where the salmon is coming from - is it wild or farmed? And during salmon harvesting season, enjoy as much of the wild variety as you can! Check out this delicious yet simple salmon recipe.

2. Sift flour and salt together into a large bowl. Add sugar. Gradually whisk in whole eggs, egg yolks, milk and cream. Add vanilla-bean scrapings and kirsch; whisk to combine.
3. Using a sieve, strain the batter over the cherries. Bake until puffed and browned, about 45 minutes. Let cool until warm; it will sink slightly. Dust with confectioners' sugar, and serve.

Women dressed in heels and fine fur coats started lining up in the cold outside Zion Baptist Church shortly after sunrise Sunday in hopes of worshiping with President Obama and his family. It is a scene that has been repeated each year on the eve of the federal holiday celebrating the life of Martin Luther King Jr. since the Obamas moved into the White House.
The Rev. Keith W. Byrd Sr. greeted nearly 700 people at his Northwest church, which sees fewer than half that number on a typical Sunday.
