During an IBM summit held in collaboration with The Marketing Society and sustainability charity Start, the IBM vice president of marketing and communications Caroline Taylor said: "We don't believe altruism can drive sustainability".
Instead the changes must be driven by personal needs, a notion backed up by British Gas marketing director Will Orr when explaining why the utility giant is helping customers reduce their energy consumption.
Orr said: "If we don't do that [help people reduce their energy usage] our competitors will. People's bills are going up and if we help them to keep them down people are likely to stay with British Gas.
"We are not helping customers use less energy out of good heartedness."
Orr also pointed out that there are business opportunities in sustainability for energy companies through initiatives including setting up solar panels.
Simon Evans, Thames Water press office manager, believes in "cutting out the corporate bollocks", reducing corporate language and boosting trust, to persuade the public to get on board corporations' sustainability agendas.
He said: "We rely on natural environment for our core business. We polluted a river in South London and killed a lot of wildlife, it's now our job to put it right. Every now and again we do cock up, we are not proud of that but it's a rarity."
Tim Smit, the CEO and co-founder of The Eden Project, argues corporations putting their weight behind sustainability programmes could give the economy a much-needed kick-start.
Smit believes companies could offer employment opportunities with sustainability projects as "there's an enormous amount of unused capital that is lying in a wasteland".
He adds that corporations should pool their resources via the Start charity because there is overlap in their marketing communications, including sustainable initiatives in schools.
He said: "The rubbish that is produced is bringing teachers to their knees with all the sustainability pamphlets being produced by marketing teams."
P&G corporate marketing director and head of marketing Roisin Donnelly believes attitudes towards the environment have now turned a corner within major corporations.
Donnelly said: "If we had this conference 10-years ago we would have been a weirdo group of eco warriors."

PURPOSE: We tested the hypothesis that the prediction of renal cancer-specific survival can be improved if traditional predictor variables are used within a prognostic nomogram. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Two cohorts of patients treated with either radical or partial nephrectomy for renal cortical tumors were used: one (n = 2,530) for nomogram development and for internal validation (200 bootstrap resamples), and a second (n = 1,422) for external validation. Cox proportional hazards regression analyses modeled the 2002 TNM stages, tumor size, Fuhrman grade, histologic subtype, local symptoms, age, and sex. The accuracy of the nomogram was compared with an established staging scheme. RESULTS: Cancer-specific mortality was observed in 598 (23.6%) patients, whereas 200 (7.9%) died as a result of other causes. Follow-up ranged from 0.1 to 286 months (median, 38.8 months). External validation of the nomogram at 1, 2, 5, and 10 years after nephrectomy revealed predictive accuracy of 87.8%, 89.2%, 86.7%, and 88.8%, respectively. Conversely, the alternative staging scheme predicting at 2 and 5 years was less accurate, as evidenced by 86.1% (P = .006) and 83.9% (P = .02) estimates. CONCLUSION: The new nomogram is more contemporary, provides predictions that reach further in time and, compared with its alternative, which predicts at 2 and 5 years, generates 3.1% and 2.8% more accurate predictions, respectively.

The Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce, one of the state's most powerful interest groups, unveiled a legislative agenda this morning that suggested the possibility of a grand bargain: Fiscal reforms that will lead to long-term savings in the state budget in exchange for a tax increase in the upcoming legislative session, which begins next week.
State government faces a $2.3 billion hole. Gov. Jim Gibbons, a first-term Republican, released a proposed budget that would close the hole with a 6 percent pay cut for state workers and teachers and a 36 percent cut to higher education. That proposal has been widely derided by Democratic legislators, higher education chancellor Jim Rogers, the teachers union, and some Republicans.
The chamber said it could support a tax increase, but only if the Legislature acts on the following items:
-- Cuts in the public employee retirement system for new employees. The current system faces a $6.3 billion unfunded liability.
-- Similar cuts in retiree benefits, including eliminating a health care subsidy for new employees and eliminating the subsidy for current employees when they reach Medicare eligibility. That system faces a $4 billion unfunded liability.
-- Work to reduce local government salaries. The chamber advocates making the collective bargaining negotiating process more transparent, meaning making some of the proceedings public so voters can weigh in before contracts are signed. The chamber also proposes changing the collective bargaining law to give local government more leverage in the negotiations, which are currently dominated by binding arbitration that favors government unions.
-- Create a "rainy day" fund for K-12 education.
-- Reform the existing Budget Stabilization Fund to help mitigate against future downturns.
Chamber government affairs chairman Hugh Anderson said the business lobby would be willing to participate in a conversation about a tax increase, but only if their proposals were passed in some form.
Steve Hill, chairman of the board of the chamber, said the group is opposed to Gibbons' proposals on teacher and state worker pay cuts and the deep cuts to higher education.
Chamber officials said they've received positive feedback from Democratic legislators on their proposals.
Democrats control both houses of the Legislature. Any tax increase will require two-thirds majority of both houses. They control the Assembly with a two-thirds majority, but would need two Republican votes in the Senate for a tax increase. The chamber could be a crucial help in lobbying Republicans.

Fox News: EPA New Rules Will Destroy Coal Industry
First it was letting them drill for oil off our shores and giving away American dollars so Soros oil could sell the China and now
they are stop our own use of coal but guess who Obama is letting in on one hell of a deal: http://grist.org/politics/2010-11-18-india-china-…
It will not matter if hussein destroy the coal co. "BECAUSE THE BASTER IS DESTROYING THE USA" that what he sayed he was going to do! He said we had it to good and now he want us to support the poor country.
If you read "Climategate" by Sussman, you will see that Al Gore and Obama are poised to enrich themselves from trading at the Chicago Climate Exchange, which Obama helped to set up. Businesses will have to buy carbon credits to compensate for their carbon dioxide emissions. Businesses that can not afford to buy these credits will be forced out of business or move to another country, taking their jobs with them.
Global warming is not man made, but is caused by the sun. (See "Unstoppable Global Warming Every 1500 Years" by Linde.)
Senator Obama said that under his cap and trade plan, electricity rates would "necessarily skyrocket", and that coal companies would go bankrupt.
Coal exports from the U.S. to China are a record highs. China has few, if any, emission controls, so the emissions will enter the jet stream and be distributed through the world, including the U.S. Also, the mercury emissions from the U.S. produced coal will enter Asian oceans from which 84% of the seafood consumed in the U.S. comes.
Obama and his environmental zealot support base are no only destroying the U.S. economy, but are endangering our health.

Anti-hunger network sprouts from a former Northwest Philly food desert
Thanks to La Salle University's Exploring Nutrition project, Tom Wingert has set his sights on helping families in Northwest Philadelphia with the launch of the new Germantown Hunger Network.
Wingert may be just 25 years old, but while the Philly native earns his La Salle MBA in Management and Leadership, he's also involved in program development with the Leadership and Global Understanding program.
An academic minor open to all departments, LGU students study civic leadership and social justice issues on the local, national and global stage, and make at least three 10-day service trips to foreign countries.
Combating hunger
In partnership with the Exploring Nutrition project, which is now in its second year, many LGU students have become involved in local anti-hunger initiatives.
These have been a natural outgrowth of the 2009 opening of the La Salle Fresh Grocer store in "one of the largest food deserts in Philadelphia," according to Exploring Nutrition Director Marjorie Allen.
Exploring Nutrition pioneers a model for urban universities to partner with local businesses and community and religious groups to aid neighbors' access to healthy food.
Its initiatives are a natural fit for socially-minded LGU students.
Last spring, the Exploring Nutrition project joined LGU students and leaders, the Fresh Grocer and an array of community groups and churches for an Easter food drive that fed nearly 2,000 people.
However, Wingert and 2013 LGU graduate Jessica Orapallo wanted to do more.
Communication needed
"We realized as we were visiting all these churches, and talking with all these people, that there were a lot of organizations in this neighborhood that were addressing hunger and nutrition issues," Wingert explained, "but none of them were necessarily working together."
As Allen put it, "People were doing wonderful things, but were not as effective as they could be because they were not aware of what other people were doing."
That lack of dialogue inspired Wingert, Orapallo and their partners to help existing organizations keep in touch by founding the Germantown Hunger Network under the umbrella of La Salle's LGU minor and the Exploring Nutrition project.
Networking efforts lead to Germantown
Wingert decided to "wear down a little bit of shoe leather," asking for meetings with local leaders in Germantown and the greater Philadelphia area to discuss the successes, challenges, future plans and scalability of regional programs to address hunger.
Invitations went out to Philadelphia's Common Market, St. Christopher's Foundation, MANNA, The Food Trust, Germantown United CDC (GUCDC), Philabundance and many others.
Wingert said the Germantown response was especially enthusiastic. As a near neighbor to La Salle with a strong civic network already in place, it was an ideal target for the new initiative.
While he hopes the Germantown Hunger Network could eventually be adapted for other neighborhoods, Wingert is focusing there for now because "Germantown is probably the area [where] I found the most active civic life."
For example, a meeting with Wyck House Programs and Outreach Manager Bob McKee yielded connections to three other locals who were interested in getting involved.
"I wasn't finding as much of a strong exponential growth factor" in other parts of the city, Wingert continued. "The civic society is so strong in Germantown, and there are so many people who are committed to revitalizing that community, so many active soup kitchens and food pantries."
On June 21, the Germantown Hunger Network's first official meeting was held on campus. Representatives from St. Christopher's, GUCDC, Wyck House, the Germantown Historical Society, Philabundance and many others attended.
Response to challenging cuts
With cuts to the federal government's Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits looming this November, as a 2009 increase in the benefits expires without action from Congress, civic efforts to combat hunger are becoming more important than ever, Wingert noted.
"When government — be it city, state or federal — is going to make it a little more difficult to help the people that need the most help, [it's grassroots organizers] that are going to be responsible for stepping up and making sure something happens," he added.
Allen, Wingert and their La Salle and Fresh Grocer partners hope that the Germantown Hunger Network can be a new way for those activists to stay connected.
Wingert outlined hopes for local soup kitchens and food pantries previously unconnected in their operations to hold monthly or biweekly meetings for, among other things, resource sharing and best-practice dialogues.
"We have all the people who are dedicated to making this neighborhood a better place in the same room. Who knows what could come out of it?" he asked. "With enough social and political capital, we might be able to get some policy work done, long-term."
Said Allen, "To make real changes you have to work in partnership with the community. We're really happy this is happening. We think it's vitally needed and we're very pleased to be a part of it."
Wingert said the Germantown Hunger Network meeting hopes to hold its second meeting in mid-September.
Correction: Wingert's level of LGU involvement has been updated since this story initially posted.

i did a lot of research before picking my doctor. Dr. Mendieta Seemed like the most obvious choice because of his results and reputation. I have a friend that also referred him to me and seeing her results really helped me make my decision. He's not called "the butt guru" for nothing lol. I had my first consultation with Dr. Mendieta. He was very sweet and showed a genuine interest in my needs and wants out of this surgery. i want to take out fat from my love handles bra line flanks and abdomen. I'm a little scared because i was only able to get 14 days off of work. My job requires me to stand on my feet for hours so im scared about returning to work afterwards. How did everyone feel at day 14? I will keep the wed posted on my progress and hope this community can help me through my journey.

Reds, Bailey roughed up by Dodgers
Reds, Bailey roughed up by Dodgers
LOS ANGELES -- Until Tuesday, Reds starting pitcher Homer Bailey had only visited Los Angeles once on a personal trip and never before had faced the Dodgers. With his performance in a 12-3 Reds loss to the Dodgers, Bailey showed he was as susceptible to demise at Chavez Ravine as anyone else wearing the word "Cincinnati" across their chest. The Reds have lost the past 11 games they've played at Dodger Stadium since 2006 and have dropped the past eight games they've played against the team in blue since last season. In the past two losses of this series, Reds pitchers have allowed 19 runs.
"When you have a young pitching staff, you have to live sometimes with inconsistency," Reds manager Dusty Baker said. "That was tough to watch and manage." Making it just 2 2/3 innings, Bailey gave up nine runs, six of them earned, on eight hits with two walks and no strikeouts. He was trailing, 4-1, after two innings and 9-1 when he exited. Both walks came in a five-run bottom of the third, as did two wild pitches and the hitting of leadoff batter Manny Ramirez in the hand to start the rally. But Bailey's command was lacking the entire evening. "I noticed the same thing," Bailey said. "It's just one of those things that you just have to wake up the next day and go back to square one. It wasn't anything mechanical. I just tried to go out there and do too much." In each of the first two innings, the Dodgers' first three batters collected hits. After a pair of singles in the first inning, Ramirez got both runners home with a liner to the left-field corner that got past Jonny Gomes and rolled around the warning track. Ramirez was credited with a two-run triple. Gomes got one run back by reaching out on a 1-1 pitch low and away, hitting a leadoff home run to right field off of Dodgers starter Randy Wolf. Over 7 1/3 innings, Wolf allowed two runs on just four hits. In the second inning, after James Loney's leadoff single, eighth hitter Matt Kemp hit a 3-2 off-speed pitch for a two-run homer. "It seemed like he was either way out of the zone or over the heart of the plate," Baker said. "Then he lost command of his off-speed breaking balls and they were just sitting on fastballs. When that happens, they're hitting ahead of the count. When you're behind the count a lot, you've got to find more of the plate than you want to. "There weren't that many first-pitch strikes. They were tattooing some balls pretty good. You've got a good lineup when your eighth hitter is hitting .323. I don't know if I've seen that, ever." The wheels came completely off in the bottom of the third, however, when the Dodgers scored five on only two hits. It started when Ramirez was drilled in the side of his left hand with a 95-mph Bailey fastball. Ramirez had to leave the game and go to the hospital for X-rays that were negative. "The good news is, Manny's hand isn't broken," Bailey said. "I'm glad that's the case or there would have been a lot of mad Los Angelians at me. I was trying to get about stomach high and in. That's kind of what we had on him. You have to go in. When you go in, you don't want to miss over the plate, because he's liable to hit it 800 feet. The pitch just got away from me." Pinch-runner Juan Pierre advanced to second on a wild pitch to Andre Ethier, who walked on four pitches. Casey Blake followed with a grounder to Joey Votto, who made a bad throw to second base on the fielder's choice for an error that loaded the bases. Bailey's second wild pitch scored Pierre and a two-run single by Loney followed. With two outs, Rafael Furcal hit a two-run single that ended Bailey's night. Bailey went into the All-Star break with two high-quality performances but didn't carry it into the second half through his past two starts. On Thursday vs. the Brewers, he gave up a career-high seven earned runs over 5 1/3 innings during a loss. He's given up six walks and struck out three. In five starts since returning to the Majors, Bailey has a 6.84 ERA. His overall record is 1-2 with a 7.63 ERA. Baker left Bailey out there longer than he would have otherwise wanted but was aware that his bullpen worked three innings the previous night's 7-5 loss. "It became more about bullpen preservation than anything else," Baker said. "You try to figure out how you'll get through the game without tearing up your whole bullpen, especially after you just went to it last night." Los Angeles scored three more runs in the fifth off of Jared Burton, which included a two-run homer by Furcal. At 44-49, the Reds are a season-worst five games under .500, but because of a Cardinals loss, remained 5 1/2 games out of first place.

You're slipping, Hutch. Your lack of customary objectivity has finally betrayed your loyalties. I came to your site to comment on your Huffington Post article, "What Will Obama Do When There's No Hillary Firewall?", only to find another article that was even more partisan. In the first article you dug up everything you could think of that you indicate Republicans will be able to use against Obama in the November election—and you were right. In fact, you were so effective, that you all but built the Republicans a tailor-made swift boat. You've rendered the Republican Party a tremendous service in that article. As a result of your article alone, they can fire all of their researchers—you've done all of their research for them. And now I find in your most recent article, "What to Make of Obama's Strange Bedfellows, Namely Blacks and White Males." In that article you imply that Black people, along White males, have come together in a sexist coalition against Hillary to support Obama. In your final paragraph you say the following:
"Even if unconscious gender bias affects only a relatively small percent of men in a close contest between a male and female candidate in which the two are rated fairly evenly in competence, qualifications and experience, the refusal of many men to vote for her could harm her candidacy. Female candidates offset the male bias by getting solid support from women voters." But I think you made a few typos in your last sentence. Didn't you mean to say, "Female[s][should] offset the male bias by [giving] solid support from women voters."?
I really can't understand this Obama hatred that seems to be centered, primarily, among many Black intellectuals and leaders. First, we have a Black television host jumping up and down because the senator won't drop everything in the middle of a hard fought presidential primary to come kiss his ring, then we have a that group of Black cynics demanding that he walk the water to earn their vote, and finally, a handful of Black pundits, intellectuals, and political leaders trying to sabotage Obama's march into time. And, oh yes, I almost forgot those who are prudent enough to want to hedge their bet. They're maintaining a silence so profound that it's deafening. In fact, I didn't think Sharpton was capable of keeping such a low profile—it makes one almost wish this year would never end.
I find this situation very sad, yet, extremely interesting-but what's going to be even more interesting is watching these very same Black intellectuals and so-called leaders squirm when they find themselves stranded on the wrong side of history. It's really ironic. This nation is about to bring into reality everything these people have been screaming for ever since they've had permission to open their mouths, and now they're doing everything they can to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. It's almost as though they're afraid they're going to lose a trusted friend—the right to fail with personal impunity (I'll be compassionate and not even mention those who may have to find a new line of work, because they're gonna have it rough—I don't think the employment office has a line for social agitator).
But just in case I'm wrong, and they really don't understand what everybody is so excited about, let me lay it out. We discussed it the very same week that Obama announced his candidacy. I told you then what was coming—in fact, now that I look back on our discussion, I'm sure you'll agree, things are happening just like I predicted. Remember when I used the analogy of a runaway train, even before that train left the station? And remember when I compared Obama to JFK and you laughed, and that reporter from KFWB kinda looked at me sideways? I'm certain you both reflected on that when Caroline and Ted Kennedy made the very same remark in their endorsements. But I shouldn't brag, because it really wasn't hard to see it coming. The fact is, you're such an astute political observer, I'm shocked that this one got past you—and even more shocked that you still don't seem to get it.
The key was in understanding the American people. Americans love drama—and I mean that in a good way. They love the idea of hard work and sacrifice—
especially when it comes to the underdog fighting to overcome adversity, because that's the story of America itself. And what we have in Obama is a fearless love, a fatherless child, and now, an appointment with destiny. A child with everything working against him, rising to the very top—it's a story that's almost Biblical in its poignancy. It's a story that's uniquely American—and the kind of story that will be told and retold as long as man has a yearning for hope.
Thus, every American across this land should feel blessed to be living at this moment in our history. We're living in a time that historians will someday record as the defining moment of our legacy as a people. It's a moment in history when America is on the very brink of disaster, and the founding fathers have literally reached back from the grave to both save this nation, and fulfill their promise to humanity. The moment in history will someday be looked back upon as the moment when America truly became one nation under God—a time when, hundreds of years from now, young people, and particularly young Black people, will look back upon our contribution to their quality of life and say, due to the courage and tenacity of that great generation of Americans, America was finally able to meet its appointment with destiny.
So you see, this is not just Obama's story—it's an American story. It's a story being written by all of us, and about all of us. So Bill and Hillary can throw all the mud they like, and the Republicans can come with a fleet of swift boats, but it will all be to no avail. Because America is not about to let this opportunity pass them up. Senator Barack Obama is about to walk right into the annals of time, and he's taking us all along with him.
Finally, note that I'm dating this communication, because thanks to the internet even the most common scribe can leave a note for posterity, and I want them to know that I could clearly see the significance of this moment. Let's just call it, my graffiti on the walls of time.

John Pizzarelli, Jr.
Rockin' in Rhythm: A Tribute to Duke Ellington
US: 23 Feb 2010
UK: 22 Feb 2010
If you're a jazz-obsessed Italian-American kid from the North Jersey suburbs raised on a steady diet of '70s rock and soul—who pursues music with a mixture of swing and goofy humor—well, you would be very much like me. If you're a jazz-obsessed Italian-American kid from North Jersey raised on '70s rock 'n' soul and whose father is a legendary guitarist and who happens to also be a massively talented guitarist steeped in classic jazz who then pursues music with a mixture of swing and humor—well, that makes you John Pizzarelli, Jr.
Plus he sings—and he's good-looking.
John Pizzarelli's latest recording is Rockin' in Rhythm, a collection of Duke Ellington tunes that brings his total discography well past three dozen—which includes long runs on major labels and, frankly, pretty good record sales… for jazz. Add to that: a 1997 appearance on Broadway in Dream, countless club dates around the world including notable appearances at New York's Rainbow Room, playing as the opener for another Jersey musician named Sinatra, a syndicated radio show, Radio Deluxe hosted with his wife, vocalist Jessica Molasky, and numerous appearances on Letterman, Leno, and so on.
John and Me
Which is to say, John Pizzarelli, Jr. is a very accomplished jazz musician. It's a tribute to what you can accomplish if you have much more musical talent—but otherwise the basic ingredients—of a knucklehead like me. I've met the guy, as you might imagine. We were born within a few months of each other, in Paterson and Hackensack if you're a New Jersey fan, and so my mom was thrilled to tell me about this young guy who had a song on the radio… about New Jersey.
The tune was "I Like Jersey Best", a hilarious jump tune about the joys of The Garden State written by Joe Cosgriff. My mom heard it played on New York's legendary WOR radio. Next time I was home, she took me to a joint down the street from her condo called Nobody's Inn where John was playing duets with his dad, Bucky Pizzarelli. I was a major jazz buff, so I knew that Bucky played a seven-string guitar and had held down the guitar chair in the Tonight Show band when the show was in New York.
They played stunning guitar duets, and then John sang a few. He was a lanky, biggish-haired kid in his early 20s (I was a short, balding kid in my early 20s), and his voice was reedy and pleasing, light and quick across a lyric. Of course, he sang "I Like Jersey Best", and—no doubt about it—it was charming and swinging and genuinely funny. It was just the music I might have wished I could make, if only I could play like this guy, Pizzarelli.
What Pizzarelli could do would grow more impressive over time. He started recording fully adult albums in 1990 (My Blue Heaven on Chesky), a few years after another young guy starting selling the same kind of music. Harry Connick, Jr. was a young and handsome fella—a pianist rather than a guitarist—who was singing old standards with a sense of youthful verve and a hankering for Sinatra swagger. (A few years later Diana Krall would follow-up in a female vein.) Pizzarelli's model was not Ol' Blue Eyes but Nat Cole, and Pizzarelli's style was appropriately chipper and hip.
Like Cole, Pizzarelli approaches jazz with a jivey humor but a respect for melody, a virtuoso's musicianship but a direct sense of swing. Though his initial success was tied to this Young Fogey movement, Pizzarelli's attachment to the old songs isn't throwback posing. He grew up around this stuff and loves it the way kids love baseball and chocolate.
From the beginning, Pizzarelli performances—typically with a drummer-less trio including his brother Martin on bass—were charming and hilarious, with John cracking jokes, doing impressions, and telling tales. As his repertoire grew to include an extensive array of standards, from ballads to jump blues to vocalese, Pizzarelli still performed "I Like Jersey Best", but modifying it over the years to include verses mimicking The Beach Boys, Billie Holiday, Springsteen (natch) and Paul Simon.
Despite wearing increasingly snazzy suits and playing in fancier and fancier venues, Pizzarelli was always—on some level—just messin' around. When he took the music seriously, it was also flawless.
Not Much of a Voice
After Pizzarelli made a few terrific discs, I bought my two favorites (Naturally and Dear Mr. Cole) as a gift for my mom's husband, Harris. He loved old standards, including the singing of Fred Astaire, so John lightly swinging stuff seemed perfect.
Always a blunt guy, Harris told me, "Music's okay. Not much of a voice, though."
Which may be true enough. Pizzarelli's transcendent talent is clearly his lickety-split technique and imagination on seven-string guitar. Fast, fleet, and daring as a player, Pizzarelli begins from the swing era grounding he learned from his dad but is more than capable of playing anything he chooses. As a singer, though, he's limited.
I might have said to my step-dad, so what? Miles Davis could not necessarily play just anything on his trumpet, but his limitations became his strengths, as he worked brilliantly within his sweet spot. Billie Holiday did the same. John Lennon. Chaplin.
Pizzarelli has made the very most of his airy, puckish voice. He's dead on recording a sly Dave Frishberg song; he's likable and shining with a sped-up Gershwin track; he can be sinuous on a bossa nova; and he manages modern pop songs played with swing because he sings without the pretense or old-fashioned pomp that makes old music seem, well… old.
Take a really old tune like "After You've Gone", which John has recorded up-tempo with his trio. The song is as old as the hills (1918!), but Pizzarelli spits it out with staccato pleasure, turning it into a playful act. He changes the line "You'll miss the dearest pal you've ever had" to "You'll miss the slickest partner you ever had", and his voice adds just a little zipping sandpaper to it all so that it's not a plea but a dare, and the music flat out pops.
In 1998, Pizzarelli recorded John Pizzarelli Meets The Beatles, on which he set the Lads' modern pop classics to non-rock grooves with remarkable success. His "Here Comes the Sun", for example, is given a jaunty bossa-nova groove, and his voice seems to me like one of the few that could manage this. By under-singing the whole thing he avoids sounding like a Sinatra-Wannabe belting out The Beatles as if they were Cole Porter, yet his delivery is syncopated and hip enough not to seem fake in an older style.
In short, John Pizzarelli is cool enough to be modern but hot enough to old. He knows what he's doing with that voice, even if he's no Sinatra.

They believe lies because it is what they want to hear. They don't want you to do anything. They try to control your life. I know from personal experience.
the pain on their face when they view someone doing well
At some point in all of our lives, the green eyed monster appears. Everyone has had feelings of jealously. Most of us control those feelings and get over it.

A person who is excessive in this area, will tend to be extremely domineering, controlling and possessive. Really jealous people are also spiteful and vindictive.

My grandfather was very jealous. And he was so controlling that he would not allow my grandmother to look out of the window, have male friends, etc.... Really weird.
they are nervous, cant sit still and are always watching & listening
when they're face is turning red and they don't want the person or thing they liked to be close with other .
Watch Mr.Bean
They mimic you and hate you all at the same time.
Simply look for anyone hah. Everyone holds jealousy for something. It's human behavior.

Enough joking around and waiting for Chromebook demand to miraculously start lagging after so many great months, Microsoft is just about ready to take the bull by the horns and launch a super-low-cost Windows 8.1 rival.
Remember the uber-affordable Windows-powered HP Stream laptop that Microsoft officials teased last month as basically the lead executioner of Google Chromebooks? It still amazes us that MS and HP expect the 14 incher to retail at $199, since, well, it's a Windows 8.1 14-inch notebook.
Obviously, the Stream is no powerhouse, and a hardware manual precociously detailing its specs makes that quite clear. The big Achilles' heel is likely the use of a low-power AMD Mullins chip, which for a second there looked like vaporware.
But hey, a CPU of the same doomed family, the AMD E1 Micro-6200T, is found inside the Pavilion 10z, and the tinier machine still costs $250. Meanwhile, the Stream will employ an AMD A4 Micro-6400T that we don't know much about, except it's likely no match for Intel Bay Trail solutions in raw speed or frugality.
Ergo, battery life is to circle a lower figure than standard Chromebook numbers, perhaps five hours or so, given the cell itself is no whopper, at 32 Wh. Needless to point out the display is also a pushover, at 1,366 x 768 pixels resolution, and the fixed, non-upgradeable 2 gigs of RAM certainly don't make up for the SoC's lagginess.
Internal storage starts at 32 GB, with 64 requiring some extra dough, and the connectivity options are pretty standard, including stuff like USB 2.0 and 3.0, HDMI and Wireless support. A fairly unexpected perk is a Beats Audio sound enhancement system with four built-in speakers, and apparently Microsoft throws in free 100 GB OneDrive cloud storage for two years as well.
Complain about the obscure, sluggish processor or low-res non-touch screen if you will, but the pricing-quality ratio remains a winner. And a threat for Chromebooks. Now all we need is an ETA. HP?

Rossi/Taurus (it had the taurus name on the box) 357 snubnose.
Nice gun and great shooter, when it worked. The problem was it broke frequently, and unpredictably.
The same part failed 3x, the cylinder bolt. Cheap metal or poorly heat-treated, whatever, the same internal part kept cracking.
First time, after 50 rounds and 1 day after purchase.
Second failure, after maybe 500 rounds and 6 months after getting failure #1 fixed.
Third failure, after 6 rounds and 1 day after getting failure #2 fixed.
The gun was only $315 but i spent over $150 sending it back and forth to the factory for slow slow repairs (6+ weeks each time).
Sold that piece of crap and never looked back. Never again either. (Bought a Ruger and an S&W, and never again a problem. Too bad I didn't pay a little more at first)
There are some good tauri out there but something like 1/4 to 1/3 of them that I've seen, including mine, have serious quality problems for which there is no excuse. (Numbers apparently pretty close to the poll numbers here) Add poor customer service on top of that and you've got ... the Taurus experience.
Would you buy a cheaper seatbelt for your car, if so many of them had problems? Why do it with a gun? Go ahead, roll the dice, spend $75 less and see if you roll a "7" and get one that works and won't break. Get one if you like it, but I'm plugging my ears when and if it breaks, I don't wanna hear it. Consider yourself warned, take the advice or leave it...

Tennis agent Ken Meyerson, who represented Grand Slam winners Andy Roddick, Chris Evert and Justine Henin, has died. He was 48.
Meyerson died Wednesday night at his home in Florida, according to a statement by his agency, Lagardere Unlimited. The cause of death was not immediately known.
Meyerson had been president of Lagardere's tennis division since 2009.
"Ken was a very hard worker and was always determined to do his best, both for his clients and for the company," agency chairman Arnaud Lagardere said in the statement. "His clients were his extended family and there was nothing he wouldn't, or couldn't, accomplish on their behalf. Ken is, and will remain, an inspiration to all of our agents."
Before joining Lagardere, Meyerson was president of BEST Tennis from 2006-09. During a nearly 25-year career in tennis that began in 1987, Meyerson also worked with ProServ, one of the earliest sports management firms, and the SFX Sports Group.
As news of his death spread, Meyerson was being honored by a number of agents and players, including American players Mardy Fish and John Isner.
Roddick tweeted: "I love you and miss you. I will be forever grateful for your faith & loyalty. You will forever be my brother. As always `thanks Meyerson.'"
Meyerson is survived by his wife, Claudia, and daughters Charlotte and Emily.
Funeral arrangements are pending.

Loudon, NH July 12, 2013:
BRAD KESELOWSKI, No. 2 Miller Lite Ford Fusion (Qualified 1st) – "We have a really fast race car. The Blue Deuce has been fast since we unloaded here and we came here and tested a few weeks back and the guys did a great job giving me an awesome car. I don't feel like I nailed a perfect lap but my guys carried me with that car. Hopefully it will be this fast on Sunday when it really counts."
CARL EDWARDS, No. 99 Fastenal Ford Fusion (Qualified 7th) – "That was a pretty decent lap. I am pretty happy with that. Obviously we would like to be another tenth faster but that was okay. We worked really hard and made the right adjustments. I think if I had to do over I could run a couple hundredths faster so I am fairly happy with that. Hopefully we will end up top eight or nine, that would be really great."
ARIC ALMIROLA, No. 43 Smithfield Ford Fusion (Qualified 18th) – "We missed it just a little bit there. We just were a little too free. I am disappointed in that. The qualifying is so tight here that a tenth the other way would have us a really good starting spot. It is disappointing but I think we have something to build on too. I think in race trim we were pretty happy, so we will just keep working on it for Sunday."
GREG BIFFLE, No. 16 3M/WB Mason Ford Fusion (Qualified 16th) – "We were definitely free out there. I just got loose and that is the way the car has been since I got here. I am having a hard time driving it right now. We definitely have some work to do to get it better for Sunday."
JOEY LOGANO, No. 22 Shell Pennzoil Ford Fusion (Qualified 26th) – "I was busted sideways twice. That wasn't a good sign. We have a lot of work to do before Sunday."
RICKY STENHOUSE Jr., No. 17 Best Buy Ford Fusion (Qualified 24th) – "That wasn't very good. We haven't been very good since we got here honestly. I don't know what we are going to do. We have a lot of work to do. We just have no grip right now at all, especially rear grip up off. I can't get the throttle down. We just have a ton of work to do."
DAVID GILLILAND, NO. 38 LONG JOHN SILVER'S FORD (QUALIFIED 25TH) – "That's a good pick-up from practice for us so I'm proud of Frank (Kerr) and all the guys. They made some good adjustments for us there. Our car's been tight and we've been slowly gaining on it, getting it a little better each and every time we go out on the racetrack. At this progress, by Sunday, we'll be really good."
DAVID RAGAN, NO. 34 TACO BELL FORD (QUALIFIED 30TH) – "It was a good pick-up but not as much as we'd hoped for. Our car felt really good the last run in qualifying practice. We made a few small adjustments but probably should've been a little bit more aggressive. It was a decent lap but definitely could've been better. But, I think our racecar will be good for Sunday."
BRAD KESELOWSKI, No. 2 Miller Lite Ford Fusion – TALK ABOUT YOUR POLE EFFORT OUT THERE TODAY. "We've had good speed since we started here today and obviously there is a lot more to racing a race track than how fast you are in qualifying but it is still a good start. We have a great race car here and I think our race team is ready. We have been close. We've had the speed the last few weeks to get the job done but different scenarios have bitten us. Those will come and go and I feel like they've went. This is our time."
HOW IS THE MOOD OF THE TEAM? "You know, Ricky Craven asked me the same question earlier and I told him there is a sense of urgency but not a sense of panic. I think there is a strong difference between the two. We are eager to get going, we are hungry and feel like we can do it but I don't feel as sense of panic. There are still two months of racing essentially to get into the Chase. We have fast race cars and if we do our part we don't need any help. If we do our part we don't even need any luck. We just need to do our jobs and I feel like we have got the team to do just that."
ASSUME YOU ARE HAPPY THERE WERE NO PENALTIES FOR THE ROOF FLAP THING SINCE YOU WERE LOBYING FOR THAT OUTCOME. DO YOU FEEL THAT UPLIFTED YOUR TEAM AT ALL? "Any time you have a threat of penalties coming for any team, not just mine, it is a relief that they don't come. I stand behind what I said before about how the situation was handled and I thought that those in NASCAR that made that decision nailed this one."
INDIANAPOLIS WILL BE JAMES FINCH'S LAST RACE IT APPEARS. CAN YOU TALK ABOUT DRIVING FOR HIM AND WHAT KIND OF GUY JAMES IS? "Yeah, it is unfortunate to see because James has definitely played a role in the history, not just history, that probably isn't the right word, but he has played a role in a lot of different things with the sport. Whether it was giving drivers opportunities on the front side or back side of their career or crew members of the same sort. Certainly he has a lot of crazy stories and a lot of fun things he has done too which add to some of the character of this sport. Not having him as a car owner, he will definitely be missed."
"Anytime you win is special but when you do it for a car owner and a driver for the first time it is kind of a double whammy. That is partially why it is sad to see him go. That is a bond we will always share."
HAS PERCEPTION CHANGED BEING A REIGNING CHAMPION? "Not really, I still have the same goal and that is to continue to be a winner and that is what fuels me inside. The competitive fire that burns inside of me is still there whether I was a champion or not. I probably have it with a little bit more confidence and I believe in myself and those around me a little stronger because of the championship but as far as those core values I guess it is what you are probably trying to allude to, they remain the same."
JOEY WAS IN HERE EARLIER TALKING ABOUT CONVERSATIONS EARLIER IN THE WEEK YOU GUYS HAD ABOUT HELPING EACH OTHER GET INTO THE CHASE WHILE RACING EACH OTHER TO GET IN THE CHASE. CAN YOU COMMENT ON THAT? "I think every team has its way of finding success in different ways that the teams work with each other and that is across all aspects, not just the drivers side. It is crew chiefs, car chiefs, engineers and all the way down the line. For me, I am committed to working with Joey and doing all I can do for him and we are kind of tied together sometimes whether we like it or not. I wanted him to come to Penske and seeing him be successful, the more success he has the more credibility I have because I wanted him to come to Penske. The stronger I feel about the legacy I will have with Penske Racing when it is all said and done. I have a vested interest in seeing him be successful if for nothing more than my own reputation inside Penske racing. Either way, he is my teammate and he can help me and there are going to be times where he is going to be better than I am and there will be times I am better than he is. If we can prop each other up on both those situations and both those times, it is for the betterment of all. You would like to see us in a situation where we are both locked in. That is not what it is. I think as a whole, if we can get over this little hump that we are fighting through right now there is no reason both cars at Penske Racing can't make the Chase."
MORGAN SHEPHERD WILL BE THE OLDEST DRIVER EVER TO START AT CUP RACE AT AGE 71 ON SUNDAY. YOU HAVE RACED AGAINST HIM A LOT IN THE NATIONWIDE SERIES. DO YOU HAVE ANY CONCERNS? "I don't know what it is like to be 71 years old so I don't know if I can comment on that. I certainly don't know what it is like to be 71 years old and Morgan Shepherd. At some point I think you just have to trust that he knows what he can do and what he can't do."
WHEN YOU ARE IN THE PREDICAMENT YOU ARE IN, AND DENNY (HAMLIN) IS IN A FAR WORSE PREDICAMENT THAN YOU ARE, BUT WHEN YOU ARE IN CATCH-UP MODE, IS THERE TENDENCY TO OVERDRIVE THE CAR? HOW DO YOU FIND THE BALANCE FROM JUST DOING WHAT YOU ARE USED TO DOING AND THE EDGE WHERE YOU ARE TRYING SO HARD THAT YOU DO TOO MUCH? "I think every driver handles that differently and it defines who you are as a NASCAR racer. I guess the thought process behind this sport is that all the cars are equal. I am going to go ahead and tell you that is not the case. Those of you in the room know that but others maybe don't. On any given day at the race track, the win is defined differently based on what you have from a car and team to work with. Sometimes the win is simple, you win the race. You take a fast car and find a way to get it up front and lead laps and win it. Sometimes the win might be having a 15th or 20th place car and finishing in the top-five. That might be the win. I know that is really hard for some people to see and there are very few people inside this sport that I think even know when that occurs when someone takes a 20th place car and finished fifth. It is just as important though as being able to take a winning car and win with it and it is just as impressive to me. You alluded to Kurt earlier and I have seen Kurt do just that. It is my job to do the same. As a driver, You have to have the keen sense of what you have on that day, which is incredibly difficult because we all have a piece inside of us that refuses to lose, that wants to find a way to win with the 20th place car but quite honestly that is usually when you wreck or do those things you talk about. It is a fine line to balance as drivers that really gets no notoriety but quite honestly is one of the hardest things you do unless you have a dominant car week in and week out like some guys do."
DOES YOUR CONFIDENCE BEING RATTLED OR YOUR CONFIDENCE LEVEL PLAY A ROLE IN IF YOU OVERDRIVE A CAR? "Anytime your confidence is rattled absolutely it plays a factor in how you drive your car. It is a critical thing to have without a doubt. I can't speak to Denny and where his confidence is at but I just trust that he knows where his health is and where he should be and go from there."

The Playtex nurser type ones? I just pish up from the bottom until a little of the liquid squirts out. Sometimes with the slower flow nipples you have to squeeze the nipple a little bit to help the air get out.
I use the disposable playtex drop expandable drop-ins....but with any bag you put in becausse I also have the breast milk storage and feeding bags....just use a bottle that is open at the end like the playtex then start pushing the bag up toward then ipple and gradually the air comes out

Hitachi robot avoids unpleasant run-ins with pedestrians
TOKYO -- Hitachi has revamped its Emiew 2 humanoid robot to better keep its distance from people in areas like intersections and doors by learning about its surroundings.
The 14kg robot stands 80cm tall and can move at 6kph -- about as fast as a human. A neck-mounted sensor recognizes obstacles as well as pedestrians' locations and speeds. The new model maps out data collected by the sensor and uses it to prevent collisions.
Information is gathered about high-traffic corners and people's walking speeds. This data is then used to predict where a pedestrian could suddenly appear in the robot's blind spot. The new Emiew 2 adjusts its path accordingly to avoid the area altogether or to slow down to prevent a collision. The stored information can be updated quickly, even for a new obstacle.
Hitachi aims to apply the technology to surveillance and automated tours of exhibition halls, among other purposes. The Emiew 2 was originally developed in 2007.

WASHINGTON — The government-chartered company that insures the pensions of one in seven Americans said Friday that its deficit this year nearly doubled to $22 billion.
That's still an improvement over the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp.'s midyear record deficit of $33.5 billion, which soared as automakers and other companies faltered and caused the insurance fund's liabilities to spike.
Yet experts say the long-term picture is grim. They say that without major changes, such as higher insurance premiums and less risky investments, the fund will require a taxpayer bailout.
"We could face much higher deficits in the future," acting director Vincent Snowbarger said. "We won't fail to meet our obligations to retirees, but ultimately we will need a long-term solution."
The agency's finances this year have been battered by the economy, which put it on the hook for 144 new pension plans that failed during the fiscal year that ended Sept. 30. That compares with 67 in the previous year.
Low interest rates added to the sea of red ink, because the PBGC can't count on inflation driving down the value of future payouts. It also faced losses on stock investments made by investment advisers and by the pension funds it has taken over — though the recent market rally has helped the corporation net an investment return of 13.2 percent for the year.
These fluctuations can hide the fundamental problems with the pension insurance system, said Bradley Belt, a former PBGC executive director and now CEO of the financial consulting firm Palisades Capital Advisors LLC.
"People focus too much on what the number is," Belt said. "A lot of what's going on is bookkeeping or accounting that mask, unfortunately, the long-term problem."
The PBGC is responsible for the benefits of 1.5 million Americans and sends checks each month to 740,000 pensioners. It is funded entirely by fees on the companies whose pensions it insures.
But Congress sets those fees, and it's been reluctant to raise them in the face of opposition from business and labor groups. Because the fund isn't expected to run out for a decade or more, there is little impetus to raise rates now.
Indeed, some lawmakers have introduced legislation that experts say could further expand the PBGC's deficit. A bill introduced last month by Rep. Earl Pomeroy, D-N.D., and others would allow employers to reduce contributions to pension funds.
The bill is intended to reduce companies' costs so they can withstand the recession and support an economic recovery. But it also could force the PBGC to take over some liabilities from plans that cover multiple employers. Under the current system, those costs are covered by the remaining companies if one partner in a pension plan goes bankrupt.
Congress' reluctance to increase costs to employers has led to growing shortfalls. The PBGC has been in the red for 29 of its 35 years of operation. The fund still has plenty of money to operate now. But unless pension funds adopt less risky investment strategies or Congress raises insurance premiums, it eventually will run out of money to pay the pensioners it supports.
That would force Congress to choose between bailing out the fund and depriving more than a million people, many of them elderly, of a key income source. Experts say an eventual bailout is almost inevitable.

If/when numbers and facts can be examined and understood by anyone, how is it some people take offense the strong generalization of those same numbers or facts? Take a look at the surveys what do you think, could Hillary have a valid point?
You know, just to be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump's supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right? The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic — you name it. And unfortunately there are people like that. And he has lifted them up. He has given voice to their websites…He tweets and retweets their offensive hateful mean-spirited rhetoric.
Nevertheless, some in the media were shocked — shocked! — that Clinton would suggest even some Trump supporters are bigoted.
(Trump's shocking statement was saying that Hillary Clinton could murder someone in front of a crowd of 20,000 people and get away with it.)
Whether Clinton's characterization is good political strategy is a matter of opinion. There is a case to be made that no matter how abhorrent a person's views are we should seek to understand them, if not empathize.

Thanks for the website, coal berner. That looks great. For the PioneerTunnel, we'll make another Day-trip with the kids this summer.
Is the "Breaker" tour ok for the little ones? We had kids aged 4 to 10 with us on the No. 9 visit. I'm affraid they'd get cranky if we spent too much time there. As it was, 1 hour at No.9, followed by a picnic lunch there, was perfect for them.

SEFFNER — Armwood coach Mike Wrenn relished the role of underdog heading into this baseball season.
After all, it was district rival Brandon that returned most of a team that last year rode momentum all the way to the Class 5A state semifinals.
But now, it's the Hawks (24-5) who can duplicate that feat with a win over Oviedo Hagerty in the best-of-three region final series Friday and, if necessary, Saturday.
Armwood has long been known as a football school, where the signs off Interstate 4 boast state championships and national rankings. The success of the baseball program has been limited — the Hawks were just five games over .500 last season and hadn't won a district championship since 1989.
But as the wins piled up for Armwood this season, so did the confidence. And now, it is on the verge of its first state final four in school history.
"We can see that state championship face-to-face right now," Armwood ace pitcher Robert Benincasa said. "I think everybody started realizing how far we could actually go. Right now our whole team is kind of clicking. It's really exciting."
Wrenn said it goes back to the fall, when the Hawks won a pair of tournaments at St. Leo and the University of Tampa. Along the way, they beat county powers Alonso, Jesuit and Sickles at those events.
"It let them know they could do it," Wrenn said. "Right then, I knew we had the chance to do something good."
Benincasa, who went from unknown to a Florida State signee, emerged as one of the county's top pitchers. Shortstop Zack Powers became a legitimate No. 2 starter. And a lineup built around run producers Joe Cartwright, third baseman Kristian Calibuso and Powers found a way to get the timely hits to win time after time.
"I think these guys stepped up to the plate," Wrenn said. "I think some of these guys like the pressure. It's more intense, and it keeps them going mentally and it keeps them sharp."
Benincasa said another big step was the Saladino Tournament in early April. At that event, the Hawks thrived in the one-and-done atmosphere, reaching the semifinals. In fact, they have only lost once since — winning three in a row to win their first district crown in 10 years.
Now, the Hawks have bigger goals.
"We may not have won Saladino, but we were able to see how far we could go come tournament time," Benincasa said.
"Now, nobody wants to end the season right now. We all want to keep playing. Nobody is tired of playing. Everybody wants to play and everybody wants to win. With everyone on the same page, everybody's just looking forward."

From the first pick to the last, Chip Kelly's fingerprints were all over his first NFL draft with the Eagles.
All eight choices were from the type of BCS schools Kelly recruited against the past four years as head coach of Oregon.
Four were Pac-12 players, including quarterback Matt Barkley of USC. Kelly wanted to make it five, but pass rusher Dion Jordan, who played for the Ducks, came off the board one spot ahead of Lane Johnson, the offensive tackle the Eagles grabbed in the first round.
"I think it kind of just happened," Kelly said. "There are some other good Pac-12 players that I'm aware of that went other places. When you saw them go, you'd say, 'Wow, that kid is a really good player.' (USC's) Khaled Holmes ... We loved Khaled. He's an outstanding center prospect and the Colts took him. I think he went in the fourth after we took Matt.
"There are a couple top leagues out there -- Pac 12, the SEC, the Big 10, the ACC. But it wasn't by design that we were targeting one thing over another."
The draft went seamlessly for the Eagles. Hard to believe there was concern that Howie Roseman, the general manager in each of the past two seasons the Eagles struggled, would be totally in control of the draft in the Kelly era. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Starting with Johnson, Kelly had a personalized scouting report on everyone.
Kelly worked out Johnson, who also was highly recommended to Kelly by Oklahoma head coach and pal Bob Stoops.
Kelly got beat last year by second-round pick Zach Ertz, the tight end at Stanford. He tried to recruit him a few years ago.
Defensive tackle Bennie Logan, the Eagles' third-round draft pick out of LSU, had a big game to beat Oregon and Kelly two years ago.
Kelly had almost annual Pac-12 battles with Barkley and seventh-round picks Joe Kruger (defensive end) of Utah and Jordan Poyer (cornerback) of Oregon State.
Kelly spoke to Stoops about seventh-round choice David King (defensive end) of Oklahoma. Safety Earl Wolff, the fifth-round pick out of North Carolina State, basically was the exception.
While Roseman suggested there were minor disagreements during the draft, Kelly indicated the key decisions had been made before it started.
"I guess the best way to say it is there wasn't a lot of exchanging ideas today because all the work was done up until this point," Kelly said. "It wasn't like today Howie was going to say, 'Hey, we should take this guy who is ranked down here.' We really let the board play itself out."
There was at least the temptation to force the board starting with Jordan and continuing with such Oregon players as linebacker Kiko Alonso (second round, Buffalo Bills), running back Kenjon Barner (sixth round, Carolina Panthers) and guard Kyle Long (first round, Chicago Bears). Kelly said he would have been happy with any or all of them.
Sticking to the board in spite of personal feelings impressed Roseman. It speaks to Kelly's discipline.
That said, if Jordan was ranked higher than Johnson, which some have speculated, why not take the plunge? Truth be told, the evaluations were nearly identical.
"I think when you start to get emotional and get involved, and I was pretty conscious of that, then what do you have to do to move up?" Kelly said. "And then when you do it, it's if you move up to get him that means you don't get Bennie Logan because you don't have a third-round pick, or you don't get Matt Barkley because you don't have a fourth-round pick. It's the accumulation of putting the whole team together. What are you willing to sacrifice to get one player? A lot of times you look at what people did when they jump. The Redskins did it to get (Robert Griffin III), but they gave up a lot to get him. The Falcons did it a couple years ago to jump up to get Julio Jones. Usually there's a pretty good price tag."
When you get through the hype, the reality is the draft isn't the only way to build the roster. The Eagles filled in holes on defense in free agency. At some point they're going to have to line up and play. And Kelly is looking forward to putting his stamp on this Eagles team on the coaching end.

JRebel Remoting can be used to update applications deployed to SAP NetWeaver Cloud. This means that you only have to deploy the application once and then keep on updating it in Eclipse (soon with IntelliJ as well) without restarts using the JRebel Remoting IDE plugin. SAP NetWeaver Cloud supports deployment of Java EE 6 Web profile WAR files and OSGi bundles. In order to enable JRebel, it has to be wrapped in a self-extracting OSGi bundle (don't panic – we'll show you how). The next step is deploying it together with the application WAR(s).
Creating the BundleThe first step is to place a jrebel.jar (use the latest nightly build at the moment) in an empty folder. You can download the nightly build from the JRebel early access page and you'll get the license file when you apply for an evaluation licence. The second step is turning these artifacts into an OSGi bundle. You need a
META-INF folder containing
MANIFEST.MF file with the following content to do that:
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Bundle-ManifestVersion: 2
Bundle-Name: JRebel Wrapper
Bundle-SymbolicName: jrebel.wrapper
Bundle-Version: 1.0.0
Make sure there is an empty line at the end of the manifest file!
Finally, create a
p2.inf file in the same
META-INF folder to make it a self extracting bundle. The file needs to have the following content:
org.eclipse.equinox.p2.touchpoint.natives.unzip(source:@artifact, target:${installFolder});
Finally, zip up the folder into a jar file. Its contents should look like this:
-- jrebel.wrapper_1.0.0.jar
| |-- p2.inf
That's it! You have a self-extracting JRebel OSGi wrapper-bundle. Now it has to be placed in the same folder with all the wonderful applications which will be deployed to SAP NetWeaver Cloud. Ideally this has to look like:
-- Deploy_folder
|--application2.war (Optional)
|--application3.war (Optional)
Uploading the BundleThere are several ways to throw that pile of software over the fence to SAP NetWeaver Cloud. Ironically – all of them involve using the Neo Console Client. Prerequisites to deploy an application are:
- you have an account at SAP NetWeaver Cloud, create a free perpetual developer account over right now!
- you have to download the SAP NetWeaver Cloud SDK and extracted it locally.
- your apps + JRebel are placed in a deployment folder
Manually specify all the optionsGo to
Neo_SDK\tools folder and execute the following command:
neo deploy -s <FOLDER CONTAINING JREBEL WRAPPER + WAR FILES> --account <YOUR ACCOUNT> --application <APPLICATION NAME> --host hanatrial.ondemand.com --user <YOUR P/S USER> --vm-arguments "-javaagent:jrebel.jar -Drebel.remoting_plugin=true -Drebel.remoting.sapAuthenticator=true"
Save options in a property fileYou can also save all those settings in one properties file and reuse it for future operations. The properties file will have the following content:
account=<YOUR ACCOUNT>
application=<APPLICATION NAME>
user=<YOUR P/S USER>
vm-arguments=-javaagent:./jrebel.jar -Drebel.remoting_plugin=true -Drebel.remoting.sapAuthenticator=true
The call to the SAP NetWeaver Cloud Console Client afterwards looks much more streamlined:
neo deploy <PROPERTIES_FILE>
The result in both cases will be the same – you'll see an output like this:
Requesting deployment for:
application : hellojrebel
account : p1234566789trial
source : /usr/gosho/all_my_precious_apps
vm arguments : -javaagent:jrebel.jar -Drebel.remoting_plugin=true -Drebel.remoting.sapAuthenticator=true
elasticity data: [1 .. 1]
severity : ERROR
host : https://hanatrial.ondemand.com
SDK version : 1.13.1
user : p1234566789
Password for your user:
Deployment finished successfully.
The only thing remaining afterwards is to start your application by calling
neo start or using the start button at your SAP NetWeaver Cloud Account page. With that – your application is JRebel-enabled and ready to be rapidly developed!
Once you have the application running, copy-paste its URL from the browser's address bar to JRebel Advanced properties window. Don't forget to enable HTTP Authentication and provide your SCN login details when they are prompted for.
Any comments? Any problems? You can visit the JRebel Forum or shoot us an email at firstname.lastname@example.com.
