Finding the Best Cancer Doctors Even More Important with Projected Decrease in Oncologists
The nation may face a shortage of oncologists in the years ahead, but right now consumers can use America's Top Doctors for Cancer, a handy reference guide.
By the year 2020 a startling number of cancer patients will have difficulty finding an oncologist. The shortage of oncologists is expected to be anywhere from 2,550 to 4,080, according to a study released by the Journal of Oncology Practice.
Why is this happening?
The diagnosis and treatment of cancer is projected to likely increase due to the aging of the baby boomer population. The so called "downside" of living longer is that we live long enough to develop certain cancers.
The age related growth in cancer and cancer survivors, a reflection of detection advances and cancer treatments, demands more oncologists. But a growing number of oncologists are heading into retirement without enough new oncologists to fill the need.
"These predictions are alarming and worrisome," said healthcare expert, Dr. John J. Connolly, President and CEO of Castle Connolly Medical Ltd., and the former president of New York Medical College.
"It is important for those diagnosed with cancer to find an oncologist as quickly as possible. Our America's Top Doctors® for Cancer guide is the type of resource people should be using. The quicker a person can find an outstanding doctor who is most appropriate to address their particular type of cancer the sooner they will be able to get the treatment they need," explained Dr. Connolly.
Castle Connolly Medical Ltd. is a healthcare information and research company noted for its print and online resources to help consumers identify top doctors across the U.S. Castle Connolly publishes America's Top Doctors® for Cancer annually. Currently in its second edition, the book profiles more than 2,100 of the top cancer doctors who are among the leading clinicians for the diagnosis, treatment and management of cancer in adults and children across the United States. The guide gives descriptions of many of the nations leading cancer centers and also gives guidance on how to identify a "top doctor" for cancer.
The books can be found at all major book sellers including Amazon and Barnes & Noble, as well as online at Castle Connolly's website www.castleconnolly.com or via its toll-free #, 1-800-399-D*O*C*S (3627).
"Our guides direct people to the top doctors in America, all focused on, and expert in, cancer. Castle Connolly does all of the ground work so a person can simply pick up the book and find a top doctor in their area," said Dr. Connolly.
Under the direction of its physician-led research team, Castle Connolly surveys tens of thousands of physicians and hospital executives to identify, screen and select those physicians regarded by their peers as leaders. These top doctors are among the very best in their specialties and for specific diseases and techniques.
Castle Connolly Medical Ltd. is America's trusted source for identifying top doctors. Founded in 1991 by John K. Castle (Chairman) and John J. Connolly, Ed.D. (President and CEO), who served as board chairman and president, respectively, of New York Medical College, its mission is to help consumers find the best healthcare. They achieve that mission through their consumer books such as America's Top Doctors®, America's Top Doctors® for Cancer and Top Doctors: New York Metro Area and their web site www.CastleConnolly.com and various consumer and business oriented print and online partnerships.

Saturn's polar regions are home to brilliant auroras created by the collisions of charged particles above its magnetic fields, just like on Earth. And now you can see Saturn's southern lights in all their infrared glory.
The basic mechanisms of the auroras on Earth and on Saturn are roughly the same. On both planets, ionized particles from the solar wind collide with atmospheric particles, which are then funneled through the magnetic fields near the poles. This releases energy and leads to the emission of a photon, which together creates the array of brilliant colors one can see around the Arctic and Antarctic Circles.
Now, Saturn doesn't work in quite the same way - the auroras there are also affected by various internal magnetic processes that make it impossible to see the auroras in visible light. However, Saturn's auroras look quite brilliant in infrared, ultraviolet, and radio wavelengths, and now the Cassini spacecraft has snapped this amazing infrared photo of Saturn's southern lights.
Since this photo is actually in infrared, the colors you can see are a bit of artistic licence. Basically, the green region is the aurora, the blue is reflected sunlight, and the red is thermal emissions from within Saturn. You can get a closer look at Saturn's aurora by clicking on the image up top, and there are even more high resolution images at the link. For more information on Saturn's auroras, check out our previous posts here and here.

I'm from Iran and the channel was Iranian bbc persian.
we have lots of tasty food and delicious like kebab,kufte

Do the preparation task first. Then, watch the video and do the exercises. Remember you can read the transcript at any time.
Check your food vocabulary by doing this exercise before you watch the video.
This video is part of our Word on the Street series. Word on the Street is an exciting new English Language teaching programme co-produced by the BBC and the British Council.
Carmen: The Chinese introduced oriental food to Britain. But before the Chinese, immigrants from all around the world came to live in London.
British people enjoy a huge range of food and flavours from other countries.
This is Borough Market, London's oldest food market. Today, you can find food here from all over the world.
This is Italian cheese. Each group of settlers brought their own food and styles of cooking and people here embraced the exciting new flavours… maybe because British food wasn't very good.
Restaurants from all around the world can be found on most British high streets. Indian, Chinese, Greek, Italian, Spanish, Persian... the list goes on.
But just what are the UK's favourite dishes?
On the Street: My favourite meal is Thai green curry.
On the Street: One of my favourite meals is... cottage pie with peas.
On the Street: My favourite food is... Chinese ... Chinese.
On the Street: What's my favourite meal? Still full English breakfast.
Chef: This is a full English breakfast. Tomato, black pudding, sausage, bacon, egg, mushroom.
Carmen: A big fried breakfast might not be to everyone's taste. But in Britain, there is something for everyone.
Celia Brooks Brown is a food writer and knows all about food and the future of food in the UK, today.
Mmm! It looks good. What have we got here, Celia?
Celia: Well, this is a British tomato salad with a Yorkshire-made sheep's cheese. And here we have a Barnsley lamb chop with new potatoes and a mint hollandaise sauce.
Carmen: So is this a sign of developments in British cooking?
Celia: Yes, people want to know where their food comes from. Chefs in restaurants like these are reinventing classic British dishes. They're using ingredients that are locally sourced and locally grown.
Carmen: So what about world cuisine?
Celia: Well, anything goes. Chefs love to experiment with ingredients from different cultures. And we live in a globalised society, it's very exciting.
Carmen: OK, Celia, if you were cooking these dishes at home, what ingredients from different cultures would you use?
Celia: Well, I might use something like this. This is a Moroccan spice mix called Ras el Hanout. Have a sniff.
Carmen: Hmm. That's really strong.
Celia: Lovely, isn't it? Now, this might make a lovely spice rub for that lamb chop.
Carmen: I can't wait to taste this.
Carmen: The food in Britain reflects the many different cultures here. But some of the old favourites are here to stay. I'm off for my favourite, fish and chips. Want a chip?
What do you think about British food?

Hi NarethTan. I've just checked the video and it seems to be working ok for me on my computer. Is the video still not playing for you? Could you let us know what browser you are using (e.g. Internet Explorer)? Also, can you try the other videos on the site like Grammar Snacks, Fast Phrasals and Video Zone and check if they work ok, or if they don't play either? One thing you can do is try using a different computer and see if the videos will play. I hope we can help you sort this out! :)
Jonathan (LearnEnglish Teens Team)
Sure. . British food makes me so hungry.

Utah Jazz fan ejected for heckling Dwyane Wade
Dwyane Wade has heard and seen it all in his 10 NBA seasons. That doesn't mean he'll put up with anything.
The Miami Heat guard was being heckled by notoriously harsh Utah Jazz fans during Monday's 104-97 loss. The result: A fan in a courtside seat was removed from the game by a security guard.
GAME:LeBron's late missteps cost Heat after comeback
With the Heat down 20 in the third quarter, Wade points out a fan to security guards, who escort him out. The fan gets in a few indecipherable words to Wade before he goes.
Wade could have been frustrated from his off night. He finished with 11 points. Then again, the Heat turned things around after the fan was ejected, finishing the game on a 37-24 run from that point.
We're not sure if Wade asked for the fan to be removed or simply pointed out the troublemaker after someone else raised the red flag. Either way, courtside seats are expensive.

SAN DIEGO - Sons who have fond childhood memories of their fathers are more likely to be emotionally stable in the face of day-to-day stresses, according to psychologists who studied hundreds of adults of all ages.
Psychology professor Melanie Mallers, PhD, of California State University-Fullerton presented the findings Thursday at the 118th Annual Convention of the American Psychological Association.
"Most studies on parenting focus on the relationship with the mother. But, as our study shows, fathers do play a unique and important role in the mental health of their children much later in life," Mallers said during a symposium focusing on social relationships and well-being.
For this study, 912 adult men and women completed short daily telephone interviews about that day's experiences over an eight-day period. The interviews focused on the participants' psychological and emotional distress (i.e., whether they were depressed, nervous, sad, etc.) and if they had experienced any stressful events that day. These events were described as arguments, disagreements, work-related and family-related tensions and discrimination.
The participants, who were between the ages of 25 and 74, also reported on the quality of their childhood relationships with their mother and father. For example, they answered questions such as, "How would you rate your relationship with your mother during the years when you were growing up?" and "How much time and attention did your mother give you when you needed it?" The same questions were asked about fathers. The research controlled for age, childhood and current family income, neuroticism and whether or not their parents were still alive.
Participants were more likely to say their childhood relationship with their mother was better than with their father, with more men reporting a better mother-child relationship than women, according to Mallers. People who reported they had a good mother-child relationship reported 3 percent less psychological distress compared to those who reported a poor relationship.
"I don't think these results are surprising, given that past research has shown mothers are often the primary caregiver and often the primary source of comfort," said Mallers. "It got interesting when we examined the participants' relationship with their fathers and their daily emotional reaction to stress."
Men who reported having a good relationship with their father during childhood were more likely to be less emotional when reacting to stressful events in their current daily lives than those who had a poor relationship, according to her findings. This was not found to be as common for the women in the study.
Also, the quality of mother and father relationships was significantly associated with how many stressful events the participants confronted on a daily basis. In other words, if they had a poor childhood relationship with both parents, they reported more stressful incidents over the eight-day study when compared to those who had a good relationship with their parents.
Mallers theorized why healthy or unhealthy relationships may have an effect on how people handle stress as adults. "Perhaps having attentive and caring parents equips children with the experiences and skills necessary to more successfully navigate their relationships with other people throughout childhood and into adulthood," she said.
She added it was difficult to come up with a concrete theory as to why men's relationship with their father had such an influence on their emotional reaction to stress, especially since this study included adults of all ages who were raised during very different eras in the United States.
"The role of fathers has changed dramatically from the time the oldest participants were children," added Mallers. "We do know that fathers have a unique style of interacting with their children, especially their sons. We need more research to help us uncover further influences of both mothers and fathers on the enduring emotional experiences of their children."
Symposium: "Social Relationships and Well-Being - A Life Span"
Session: 1235, 1:00 - 2:50 PM, Thursday, Aug. 12, San Diego Convention Center, Upper Level, Room 25B
Presentation: "Fathers and Sons: Importance of Paternal Affection for Adult Well-Being," Melanie H. Mallers, PhD

Questions about the Rescue process?
Contact Rescue Director Judi Young & her Rescue Team at [email protected] or write to the Rescue Coordinator for your state.
For people who haven't owned a Kerry before, we recommend that you study the breed before you contact rescue. A good place to start is this web site. Other places to start would be to read some Kerry books and periodicals. You should also talk to people who have experience with the breed, such to Kerry exhibitors at local dog shows, or a breeder near you.
The next step in the adoption process is–no matter where you live–to complete the
Adoption Application. The questionnaire helps you understand the breed and the responsibilities involved in owning a Kerry Blue. If you are not comfortable filling out the questionnaire, you probably are not meant to own a Kerry. Send the questionnaire to the Rescue Coordinator(s) nearest you.
The application will get reviewed. Usually you'll correspond with the Coordinator a number of times, and potential Rescue dogs might be identified.
At that point, the Rescue Coordinator will call your references and arrange a "home visit." That means a Kerry person comes to your home–hopefully with a Kerry or two in tow–to check out your fence, talk about security, Kerry care and temperament. He or she will probably be a wonderful local resource in the future when you own your own Kerry.
Once you and the Rescue Coordinator are comfortable with the placement, the Adoption Contract must be signed. We also expect that the adopter make a donation to the Foundation ot help cover the costs.
Some rescue dogs have some problem; behavior, health or old age. The Rescue Coordinator tries to ensure that the potential adopter understands the situation and the responsibilities. If you are not selected to adopt a rescue Kerry, rest assured that the decision was made with your and the Kerry's best interest in mind.
Your completed questionnaire is an excellent way to introduce yourself to Kerry breederswho may have puppies or an older dog to place, or who may know of someone who does. You can also send the questionnaire to an officer of a nearby Kerry Club.

Latest Cold and Flu News
HealthDay Reporter
FRIDAY, Feb. 10 (HealthDay News) -- It was just about three years ago that a strange new strain of flu first appeared in Mexico, then spread across the border to the United States and eventually much of the globe.
The H1N1 "swine" flu strain didn't behave like a "normal" flu, because it proved particularly dangerous to children and younger adults -- the very groups of people who usually have the strongest defenses against seasonal flu.
After a quiet couple of years, more cases of the pandemic H1N1 flu are circulating again where it all began -- in Mexico.
But infectious disease experts says Americans shouldn't be overly concerned.
In January, there were 1,623 cases of flu reported in Mexico, and 90 percent of those cases were H1N1 flu. There were also 32 flu-related deaths, all but three caused by the H1N1 strain, the Associated Press reported.
"It appears that H1N1 in Mexico is circulating at a higher level than in the United States," said Tom Skinner, a spokesman for the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. "We have seen some H1N1 here in the U.S.," he added, but the more familiar H3N2 strain is predominating here this winter.
The flu season in the United States has also gotten off to a slow start, Skinner said, but it's expected to pick up in the coming weeks. "Our season usually peaks sometime in February and it's not too late to get a flu shot," he said.
The flu shot for this year -- and last year -- includes protection against the H1N1 strain, Skinner noted.
Infectious disease expert Dr. Marc Siegel, an associate professor of medicine at New York University, doesn't think there's much for Americans to worry about, given the situation in Mexico.
"First of all it [the H1N1 virus] turned out to be a very mild virus," he said.
"One of the reasons Mexico saw a severe outbreak compared with us in 2009 is that initially you see more lethality and more morbidity. Then, as the virus spreads, it usually becomes less severe -- that's traditional," Siegel added.
Also, flu pandemics tend to follow a pattern like the one taking place now. They come in "waves" and there are always additional "waves" in the second and third year after flu strain's initial appearance, he said.
"It just becomes one of the circulating viruses," Siegel said.
It's unlikely that another severe outbreak of H1N1 would occur in the United States, he said.
"We have developed a 'herd immunity' through previous exposure to the virus and vaccination, so it slows the spread," he said.
According to the CDC, one reason that children and young adults were more vulnerable to the H1N1 strain back in 2009 is that this strain hadn't circulated widely since the early half of the 20th century. As a result, CDC studies found that no children and very few adults younger than 60 had existing antibodies to the 2009 H1N1 flu virus. Curiously, about one-third of adults 60 and older are thought may have antibodies that may help protect against the virus.

Followers of this column know that Jupiter has appeared rather odd during this years 2010 apparition. Specifically, the Southern Equatorial Belt, or SEB, vanished for the first time in the 21st century. This is not a unique or singular occurrence, as it happened no less than 12 times in the 20th century. Its not completely understood why this happens, and why only the SEB is prone to this disappearing act and never its twin Northern Equatorial Belt. Now, theres evidence that the SEB may be returning.
AstroEvent: The Return of the SEB?
Astro Event: A Very Close Dawn Conjunction.
Tomorrow morning has something worth getting up for; one of the closest planetary conjunctions of the year. Specifically, the planets Jupiter and Uranus sit about 26 arc minutes apart, as seen through binoculars. Both will also fit nicely in a low power telescopic field for the next week or so. Jupiter has been very much in the news as of late, as it first became suddenly one striped a few weeks ago and was recently smacked again by an impactor. When we first caught wind of this, our first instinct was hoax, such as the Mars is the closest this August in 50,000 years! email that circulates every summer. But it does indeed appear that another impactor has struck the giant world, on the same calendar date and discovered by the same observer! Weve definitely received a lesson in Jupiters role as a cosmic vacuum cleaner as of late, although no true impact scar has yet to reveal itself. Its also worth noting that the impact longitude will be on the planets central meridian at 4:21 EDT tomorrow the 8th as well, another reason to check out Jupiter. The impact video that circulated revealed the hit to be right at the longitude of the missing Southern Equatorial Belt. Uranus will be slightly fainter than a typical Galilean moon and display a grayish green disk. The pair rises around 3AM local and a waning crescent Moon will be nearby. Fun fact: did you know that Galileo missed the opportunity to discover another outer world, Neptune, during a close conjunction? He even drew its position change next to Jupiter in his notebook! Probably the reason that he didnt make the intuitive leap was because no one at the time supposed that there should be any undiscovered planets!
The Astro-Word for this week is Appulse. This is another term that points back to astronomys hoary roots with astrology. We say an object (usually two planets or a planet and the Moon) are at appulse on their closest apparent approach. Of course, this is only line of sight from our vantage point; in reality, objects such as Jupiter and Uranus are millions of miles apart. The term appulse has sort of fallen to the wayside in favor of its synonym, conjunction, but it certainly doesnt raise the eyebrows like another related mystical sounding term, occultation. Im just glad that professional astronomers no longer have to subsidize their income by casting horoscopes for kings, as they did in times of yore!

6.5.4 : Problem with Maven Snapshot Dependencies... Follow
I've updated to 6.5.4 to solve what I understood was a bug : the recurring apperance of the red message: 'Problem with Maven Snapshot Dependencies... ' in every build that has a Maven Snapshot trigger.
I still have it on many maven builds, I don't understand what's causing it
Couldn't perform check for SNAPSHOT dependencies update because there was an error reading POM. See Maven 2 tab for details

Can you tell me what's missing? What is TC actually looking for?
This error means TeamCity couldn't read POM. This is needed for analizing project snapshot dependencies and checking them for updates.
The exact reason why TeamCity was unable to read POM is visible on the "Maven 2" tab of the build configuration page.
Could you please describe what is reported in there?
Sorry, I forgot to check that despite the clear message, I guess I believed updating to 6.5.4 would magically solve the problem...
The same error for all builds: the parent POM isn't found
An error occurred during collecting Maven project information: Cannot find parent: com.company:company-parent
Parent pom has to be installed manually on each every agent - afaik due to Maven limitations.
Which is precisely the original point of my question in Getting a build to run on all agents by default.
How does the server resolve the Maven dependencies? Does it has it's own bundled Maven, does it use its user's own .m2/repository ?
Can I point it to another - in my case the local buildAgent - .m2/repository.
I'm afraid to have to install manually yet another paren pom instance.
on the Maven 2 tab for the parent pom build, I've got the following error.
An error occurred during collecting Maven project information: Unable to build project '/opt/local/apache-tomcat-6.0.26/temp/teamcity1800547576466275045maven/pom.xml; it requires Maven version 3.0.1
Which confirm the TC server bundled Maven instance.
Is it possible for the TC server to use M2_HOME env var as well? Couln't find any place to configure this in Administration section.
TeamCity parses poms using bundled Maven 2.2.1 as a library. Unfortunately you cannot switch to any arbitrary Maven since it's bound to 2.2.1 too tight. When resolving parent dependencies TeamCity uses it's own local repository located in <TC data dir>/system/pluginData/maven/repository . Currently it's not possible to point TeamCity to another location.
You can put the missing parent pom into there. But why you don't deploy the parent into the corporate repository so the server and all agents could pick it without having you to install it into each machine?
As for Maven 3.0.1 limitation error. How did you get this restriction? As far I as know both Maven 2 and 3 use the same project model version, so even if a project is intented to be built with Maven 3, it at least should be readable with Maven 2.
There's always been a problem with the parent pom.
It needs to be installed manually, it doesn't behave as a dependency, it's not updated like them.
Besides, it needs to be deployed first, so that dependant project can find it.
How can I install the parent pom in the server repository, and how can I make that a TC build?
We use the maven restriction to 3.0.1 to be sure everyone in the team has the same Maven revision.
It's possible to remove it, though TC shouldn't impose things like that.
Server bundled Maven definitely needs to be externalized in the future. Is it a planned feature already?
Sorry, I don't understand the difficulties with your parent pom quite well. Here at JetBrains we have a parent pom for several projects deployed into our repository manager, and we have no problem accessing it when either building any project or reading it in TeamCity provided the settings.xml defines appropriate mirroring. Yes, it should be deployed first, but that's all you need to make your projects get built (+ mirroring).
If you still want to manually install that pom to the server local repository, you can do it by executing install:install-file (http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-install-plugin/install-file-mojo.html)
> Server bundled Maven definitely needs to be externalized in the future. Is it a planned feature already?
We don't plan to externilize it, but yes, we're considering to use both Maven 2 and 3 engines for parsing poms on server.
Hello Sergey,
we've always had problems with the company parent pom.
We decided it had to be installed manually on each every machine. There's probably a way to get an update in the dependency SNASHOT style.
Would you mind telling me how you use the mirroring? I don't see how it can help in this matter.
How can I have the server local maven to execute the install:install-file ?
I can't use a Maven build step since I don't have a pom.xml, can't use a script build with 'mvn' either, I guess I need to find the bundled maven executable.
There's nothing in <TC data dir>/system/pluginData/maven/ but artifactDigest.xml.
Where's the .m2 repository then? The Maven executable?
I need a TeamCity build to be able to install this parent pom, I'll have to install it every now and then in the future.
I guess a script build with a reference to the bundled maven excutable should do the job.
There is no bundled Maven installation on the server, only on agents. The server uses only few Maven jars.
You don't see the repository directory since (most likely) teamcity hasn't required it yet. It's created automatically on demand.
Simply Install Maven 3 on server manually, then manually execute the following command (you don't have to have ./pom.xml for executing this)
mvn install:install-file -Dfile=<path to your parent pom> -DpomFile=<path to your parent pom> -DlocalRepositoryPath=<TC data dir>/system/pluginData/maven/repository
Of course you can make TeamCity do this. You will have to setup an agent on the server machine then, since the server itself doesn't execute builds.
But again, to me deploying this pom to the corporate repository and using mirroring is much simpler solution.
To setup mirroring just add to the settings.xml the following:
<mirrorOf>*</mirrorOf> <!-- this wildcard means mirroring of all possible repositories -->
Your repository manager should be configured as a proxy for all required external repositories like Maven Central etc. This way a request for any dependency or parent pom will be redirected to http://my.repository.com/repo/path and will be fulfilled by your repository manager provided it's properly configured.
You also should propagate these settings among all agents (~/.m2/settings.xml) and the server (<TC data dir>/system/pluginData/maven/settings.xml)
Note that this is the simplest possible configuration which you may tune according to your needs and constraints.
see my reply on your next message
Sergey, thank you for for all your explanation.
However, I can't understand what mirrors could bring to me compare to Repositories in the parent pom.
That's what I use in the parent pom:
I designed it this way so that any newcomer in the team wouldn't have to do any config - not even in maven - but just to install the parent pom first.
That seem to be exactly what mirrors propose to do in my opinion. I don't see the difference honestly.
Basically each user of a machine still has to have it's own repositories, and where the problem lies.
I'll have to get my parent pom in the server repo even though there's an agent on the machine (and many users for that matter) that already has a maven local repo.
Technicaly your solution is close to what I propose. But in general I prefer mirroring because a parent pom usually contains more information than just a repository list. Once it contains more information, it (usually) changes more frequently. This is the point where settings.xml looks better. For instance, if you change the dependencyManagement section or add a profile in the parent pom, with mirroring you just deploy the updated pom to the corporate repository and it will be automatically updated on every location. Without mirroring you have to update it on each location manually, which can be quite a big and error prone activity.
Of course, if you don't consider such changes probable in your case, both solution look pretty similar - you either put settings.xml or install the parent pom - not a big difference.
Took me a while but I finally found the time to implement your solution.
It works great and I'm very happy with it.
All Teamcity SNAPSHOT dependencies are now solved. And I get a ton more build triggered as you can imagine!
A side problem I'm having right now is that when a build is triggered because of a SNAPSHOT dependency, it is triggered on each agent, instead of being triggered only once.
It doesn't seem possible to control this on the Build Triggering section.
Where can I configure this?
Sorry, I don't quite understand "it is triggered on each agent". A build always runs only on a single agent, which is chosen automatically and can be overriden by you. Or you mean multiple builds are triggered on the same update of a SNAPSHOT artifact?
this is exactly what I meant, sorry for being unclear.
Multiple builds "were" triggered on the same update of a SNAPSHOT.
Can't reproduce it today though, so far so good.
But it seemed a consistent behavior yesterday... I had this 3 times, the build history shows a build per agent, just a minute appart from each others...
Please disregard
A note about Maven server settings.xml in TC-7.0
I just upgraded to TC-7.0
Found the Maven Settings in Administration:
It says 'There are no Maven settings files.' and propose to upload a new file.
Just before upgrading I put a settings.xml in <teamcity data>/system/pluginData/maven
Shall I upload settings.xml once more or is it taken into account already?
This is probably because the deployment of multiple artifacts is not an atomic operation and takes some time, and the checking for updates happens in the middle of it. It can be avoided by using Artifactory and its plugin for TeamCity, which supports atomic deployment. You also can mitigate the problem by increasing the poll interval, though this won't completely resolve the issue. By default the interval is set to 10 minutes. You can override it by placing the following line into the <TC data dir>/config/internal.properties
teamcity.maven.artifactTrigger.checkInterval=<your value in seconds>
This is a new feature of 7.0. You can upload a number of different settings files and then select any of them on the Maven runner page. During a build TeamCity transfers it to the agent and push it to Maven, so you don't need to do it manually and keep it in sync with the server. But this doesn't affect your current approach so you don't have to change anything if you don't want to.
Interesting, I now understand the value of the Artifactory plugin compared to the maven 'deploy' goal...
"You can upload a number of different settings files and then select any of them on the Maven runner page" >> simply awesome, wasn't obvious just looking at the upload page.

New Wilmington, PA - It was a beautiful day to run for the Geneva College cross country teams at the Fisher Invitational on the campus of Westminster College. Several of the Golden Tornadoes took advantage of the conditions with personal best performances. Geneva′s men and women each finished fourth overall in the nine team field thanks to some solid efforts at the top.
In men′s action, Nick Edinger broke the 27 minute barrier for the first time in his career with a 26:44 effort and a third place overall finish. It was only the third time in school history that a male runner has broken the 27 minute mark. Geneva′s men featured its top five runners finishing in the top 25. In addition to Edinger, Jon Shope (14), Jacob Beschner (23), Ryan Thorn (24) and Owen Struck (25) each turned in top notch performances. Grove City College won both the men′s and women′s overall event to know surprise to Geneva head coach Brian Yowler. "We are still chasing Grove City," said Yowler. But now we can at least see them ahead of us. We are making tremendous strides as a team and is exciting to watch."
After what she would consider a sub-par finish in the opening meet of the season, sophomore sensation Shannon Rech found her freshman form with a 13th place overall finish in an impressive time of 24:55 in the 5K event. In fact, Rech improved upon her time on this same course a year ago my over a minute. Freshman Alayna Merkle was Geneva′s next best finisher with a 17th place spot in a time of 25:08. Other females in the top 25 included Samantha Miller (19) and Julia Urbanski (22).
Geneva will be back on the course next Saturday when it visits another PAC foe in Waynesburg University. The Golden Tornadoes hosted the Yellowjackets in the season opener last Wednesday.
Geneva College is a comprehensive Christian college of the arts, sciences and professional studies. Founded in the tradition of the Reformed Christian faith, Geneva prepares students to serve Christ in all areas of society: work, family and the church. Geneva College′s philosophy of education is based on the Foundational Concepts of Christian Higher Education. Geneva is a founding member of the Council for Christian Colleges & Universities (CCCU).

Denver lobbying firm Headwaters Strategies hired by Michael Bloomberg's gun-control group
Headwaters Strategies, a Denver-based lobbying firm, has been hired by New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg's national gun-control organization.
According to the secretary of state's website, Headwaters Strategies — which was founded in 2009 by Will Coyne and Adam Eichberg — has filed as a lobbying firm for Mayors Against Illegal Guns (MAIG).
The group is expected to lobby heavily in support of Democrats efforts for gun reform here in Colorado this legislative session.
Comprised mostly of Democratic mayors, MAIG was formed by Bloomberg in 2006 with a mission that aims to keep criminals from illegally possessing guns and using them. Bloomberg, an Independent and staunch proponent of tougher gun control measures, has submerged himself into the national debate over guns, taking a hard line stance in favor of tougher gun control laws in the wake of mass shootings in Newtown, Conn., and an Aurora movie theater.
Colorado Democrats, like state Rep. Rhonda Fields of Aurora, have said legislation that looks to require background checks for all private individual gun sales will be presented in the coming weeks. Fields has also said she plans to sponsor a bill that bans high-capacity magazines.
In his state of the state address Thursday, Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper said he supports universal background checks on gun sales.

Lesson Plan
Discovering Traditional Sonnet Forms
|9 – 12
|Lesson Plan Type
|Standard Lesson
|Estimated Time
|Three 50-minute sessions
|Lesson Author
Milwaukee, Wisconsin
In this lesson, students read and analyze sonnets to discover their traditional forms. Students chart the poems' characteristics, including the poetic features and their emotional responses to the poems. They then review the details for similarities, deducing traditional sonnet forms that the poems have in common. After this introduction, students write original sonnets, using one of the poems they have analyzed as a model.
Traditional Sonnets for Analysis: Here are links to the text of traditional sonnets.
Interactive Sonnet Characteristics Chart: Using this online tool, students enter information about sonnets they are analyzing, including the number of lines and stanzas, lines per stanza, rhyme scheme, meter, and other observations.
Albert Somers, author of Teaching Poetry in High School, asserts that the "business of structure seems to be the poetry teacher's greatest bugaboo" (145). We find ourselves searching for a balance between "analyzing poetry to death" and "voices [that] clamor for the teaching of culture and art and the way art-including poetry-works" (145). Teachers are left trying to find the instructional technique that reaches that balance. Somers explains:
"The most prevailing approach is deductive: define the terms, give examples, and have the students find them in poems. In some ways, the method is logical and efficient. Yet year after year, most of our students barely tolerate our efforts. Few recall it with affection, and fewer reflect upon it later as a source of insight and inspiration." (146)
Somers suggests that teachers use the opposite strategy: "Instead of definitions, begin with generalizations. Actually begin with specifics (poems) that lead to generalizations-inductive teaching" (146). This lesson adopts just such an inductive strategy, providing students with examples of the sonnet form and asking them to find the similar characteristics that unite the poems. In the process, students determine the form of traditional sonnets.

Daring Bakers: Bostini Cream PieMonday, October 29th, 2007
This is my fourth month as a member of the amazing Daring Bakers. The Daring bakers consist of proud women and men that love to bake and are not afraid of baking challenges. The idea of the Daring Bakers is that every month one baking recipe is presented that all members have to follow exactly without any modifications except where specifically allowed. During the month we share our experiences and learn to be better bakers. The recipe, our photos and experiences are then officially posted on a specified day, this time on the 29th of Otober. This month's challenge is Bostini Cream Pie which consists of a orange chiffon cake served on vanilla custard and then topped with a chocolate glaze. The recipe is from Donna Scala and Kurtis Baguley of Bistro Don Giovanni (in the Napa Valley) and Scala's Bistro (in San Francisco) and was picked as this month's challenge by Mary at Alpineberry.
I must admit that this month's challenge has been the most delicious so far, but oh so rich. I already feel much heavier due to the delicous vanilla custard! I halfed the recipe and still got 4 generous servings and 3 mini servings. I'm always nervous when cooking custard but it turned out perfect. The orange chiffon cakes were easy too make. I had some troubles getting them out from the ramekins though, I probably greased the ramekins too little. For the mini variants I cut out hearts with a cookie cutter and for the normal servings I just used the whole cake from each ramekin. The chiffon cakes were very light and fluffy even though they sank quite a lot after they were taken out from the oven. I used a little too bitter chocolate for the chocolate glaze, but actually I think that was good as the dessert might have been too sweet otherwise.
The verdict is very positive! This is a simple yet delicious dessert, it's perfect for parties as you can prepare all parts in advance and then just assemble them as the guests are waiting for the dessert. Thanks Mary for this month's challenge! To see how the other Daring Bakers managed this month's challenge, go to the Daring Bakers blog roll.
- Bostini Cream Pie
(from Donna Scala & Kurtis Baguley of Bistro Don Giovanni and Scala's Bistro)
(makes 8 generous servings)
Custard (Pastry Cream)
3/4 cup whole milk
2 3/4 tablespoons cornstarch
1 whole egg, beaten
9 egg yolks, beaten
3 3/4 cups heavy whipping cream
1/2 vanilla bean (or 1 tsp pure vanilla extract)
1/2 cup + 1 tablespoon sugar
Chiffon Cake
1 1/2 cups cake flour
3/4 cup superfine sugar
1 1/3 teaspoons baking powder
1/3 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup canola oil
1/3 cup beaten egg yolks (3 to 4 yolks)
3/4 cup fresh orange juice
1 1/2 tablespoons grated orange zest
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup egg whites (about 8 large)
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
Chocolate Glaze
8 ounces semi or bittersweet chocolate
8 ounces unsalted butter
To prepare the custard (pastry cream):
Combine the milk and cornstarch in a bowl; blend until smooth. Whisk in the whole egg and yolks, beating until smooth. Combine the cream, vanilla bean and sugar in a saucepan and carefully bring to a boil. When the mixture just boils, whisk a ladleful into the egg mixture to temper it, then whisk this back into the cream mixture. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Strain the custard and pour into 8 large custard cups. Refrigerate to chill.
To prepare the chiffon cakes:
Preheat the oven to 325°F. Spray 8 molds with nonstick cooking spray. You may use 7-ounce custard cups, ovenproof wide mugs or even large foil cups. Whatever you use should be the same size as the custard cups.
Sift the cake flour, sugar, baking powder and salt into a large bowl. Add the oil, egg yolks, orange juice, zest and vanilla. Stir until smooth, but do not overbeat.
Beat the egg whites until frothy. Add the cream of tartar and beat until soft peaks form. Gently fold the beaten whites into the orange batter. Fill the sprayed molds nearly to the top with the batter.
Bake approximately 25 minutes, until the cakes bounce back when lightly pressed with your fingertip. Do not overbake. Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack. When completely cool, remove the cakes from the molds. Cover the cakes to keep them moist.
To prepare the glaze:
Chop the chocolate into small pieces. Place the butter in a saucepan and heat until it is just about to bubble. Remove from the heat; add the chocolate and stir to melt. Pour through a strainer and keep warm.
To assemble:
Cut a thin slice from the top of each cake to create a flat surface. Place a cake flat-side down on top of each custard. Cover the tops with warm chocolate glaze. Serve immediately.
