Reviewer: Louis Greene (Oreland, PA) |
First, I would like to thank BUILT for the speedy delivery (received my order in under three days). Next I would like to thank you for the wonderful sleeve. I paid more for the black, but it is worth a penny. The quality of the material is marvelous. The stitching shows real craftmanship. It didn't appear at first glance to fit my Asus, G74SX. However, upon inserting the laptop into the sleeve, all I could do is sit back in awe. Tight fit at first, but I must say a perfect fit. This sleeve really enhances and protects my laptop. Anyone who wants to protect their over-sized laptop should purchase to high quality sleeve. |

I purchased this to protect my laptop when commuting from my apartment to school. This laptop sleeve has protected my laptop bumps and bruises and also the rain. |
Reviewer: Tori Kittridge (Grand Rapids, MI) |
Love this sleeve! So cute!! I have a large laptop (just over 17 inches) and I didn't want a clunky over the shoulder case. I just wanted something to keep it safe in my bag or carrying it from class to class. This worked great!!! I have one and would totally buy another! The zipper also is a great one! My laptop just fits in the case and I was nervous that the zipper would ware down. But it hasn't. Totally recommended!!!! |

(CNN) -- A hard-line armed group that operates in Gaza, called The Mujahedeen's Shura Council of Aknaf Bayt al-Maqdis, claimed responsibility for the rockets that were launched Thursday morning from Gaza into southern Israel. In a statement posted Thursday on an online forum known to carry messages from extremist groups, the post said: "Shelling Sderot by rocket bombardment in response to the visit by Obama, the West's dog." The two rockets caused no injuries or major damage.

T he Council on Legislation, Rotary's "parliament," meets every three years to deliberate and act upon all proposed enactments and resolutions submitted by clubs, district conferences, the General Council and Conference of Rotary International in Great Britain and Ireland, and the RI Board. The Council itself also makes proposals.
The Council on Legislation is an important part of Rotary's governance process. While the Board of Directors sets policies for Rotary International, the Council is where Rotary clubs have their say in the governance of the association. Every three years, each district sends a representative to the Council, which reviews proposed legislation. Every club and district is entitled to submit legislation to the Council, and some of Rotary's most important work has resulted from Council action. Women were admitted into Rotary because of the action of the 1989 Council on Legislation, and PolioPlus was born as the result of the 1986 Council.
The Council comprises more than 500 representatives from every part of the Rotary world. Voting members include one elected representative of the clubs of each Rotary district. Some nonvoting members include the chair and vice chair of the Council, the RI president, members of the RI Board, and past RI presidents.
The next Council on Legislation will be in April 2013 in Chicago. Council representatives will be selected during the 2010-11 Rotary year.
The deadline to submit legislation to the 2013 Council on Legislation is 31 December 2011.
The 2010 Council made a number of changes to the legislative process for the 2013 Council, including the requirement that all proposed legislation must be submitted with a statement of purpose and effect as well as a limit to the number of times a Rotarian can serve as a voting member of the Council. Further information on these changes can be found below and in What's New for the 2013 Council.

Advocates: Haley's Arts Vetoes Will Affect Education
Arts Commission "predominantly funds" arts education programs throughout the state
When Gov. Nikki Haley vetoed $1.9 million in funding allocated to the South Carolina Arts Commission, along with an additional $500,000 in funding for grants on July 5, she said she was not cutting the arts, but rather the commission.
On Facebook, she reiterated: "We vetoed the Arts Commission, not the arts. This does not defund arts education."
But many advocates say that without the SCAC, which is responsible for issuing competitive grants and overseeing the state's art collection, arts programs across the state, including educational ones, will be in peril or ruin.
Christine Fisher, director of Arts in Basic Curriculum Project, an educational arts program dedicated to providing and enriching arts programs in schools from pre-school to the college level, said that her program will not exist without SCAC funding.
"Without the Art Commission, there are no ABC projects, period," she said.
"ABC doesn't just rely on the Arts Commission, and we apply for grants, but if we did not have ABC funding from the Arts Commission, there wouldn't be anybody to write those grants."
The program, which is a coalition between SCAC, the South Carolina Department of Education, and Winthrop University, is predominantly funded by SCAC.
The ABC Project works with schools to develop and enhance all arts fields. One particularly successful area is arts integration, which blends mathematics and science with the arts to make learning more fun.
Fisher said one example is children singing about the water cycle.
"All of those things, research-wise, have proven that students are able to put it from temporary to permanent memory. It's getting them involved," she said.
Fisher said that all ABC Project programs are completely free to the schools that call upon the organization. Having no fees allows the agency to provide arts education for even the most rural, impoverished areas.
"One thing I think people forget is that we're a high poverty state" said Fisher.
"Those grants are really important. When all of the funding for materials and supplies were cut after 9/11, and when everything went South with the economy, the money has helped sustain programs with supplies in order to teach."
Fisher added that without the grants received through SCAC, many schools would be without paint and paper for artwork, or without music to play.
George Patrick McLeer, executive director of the Mauldin Cultural Center, said that even though SCAC funding is crucial to ABC Project, it is more than just funding.
"Yes, they may be able to get funding from other places, but getting the money from the state is more than money," he said. "It's saying the program is worth the state's investment."
McLeer said the SCAC gets matched federal dollars from the National Endowment for the Arts, which only gives to those agencies that are state-supported. SCAC money "trickles down" to countless programs throughout the state through its grants.
SCAC granted more than $260,000 in arts education funds this past fiscal year, according to its website.
State lawmakers return to Columbia on Tuesday to consider the vetoes, and whether to override them.

Haley is so out of touch with what is needed for South Carolina!!! We have a budget surplus, so this is not an issue of reducing the budget! We need strong priorities for our leaders that support the people of South Carolina!! #1 - public education! #2 -Rebuild infrastructure -- this will lead to JOBS!
Vote for the party that supports the People of South Carolina - Democrats!
1:05 pm on Friday, July 13, 2012
"One thing I think people forget is that we're a high poverty state"
"It's saying the program is worth the state's investment."
The poor obviously aren't worth investing in. If not the poor, who will work in factories for less than prevailing wage? Just a little while longer and we'll be caught up with India and China.
12:22 pm on Monday, July 16, 2012
JoSCh - If I read you correctly, your position is that we the people of the impoverished state of South Carolina can spend our way to a better future. You might want to spend a little time and effort (make an investment) with a textbook that provides an introduction ton economics.
Or you might want to listen to Obama, he will support your position that we can spend our way to glory - look how well his spending spree has worked!
1:58 pm on Monday, July 16, 2012
What you call spending I call investing which apparently wasn't discussed in your economics textbook. And of course I think there are issues besides funding, but funding is the only thing the truly selfish care about. I'd ask if you can you cite a case where defunding education produced better results but there isn't much point in engaging you. You've been given your position and your bigotry won't allow you to have a rational discussion using facts, only pejorative and fallacy.
Wall Street Journal article on the Obama spending spree you claim.
I realize that they aren't a blog run out of a bomb shelter by an uneducated Appalachian tardbilly wrapped in a confederate flag so they may not be a credible source to you. Sorry bout that.
2:32 pm on Monday, July 16, 2012
JoSCh - I guess you put me in my place! I especially liked your response with a Wall Street Journnal article as support for your in-depth knowledge of economics. However, the article is not from the Wall Street Journal; it is from MarketWatch which is quite different, but that doesn't matter or does it matter?
Also, I think the cut about an 'uneducated tardbilly wrapped in a confederate flag' was right on target since I was raised in New England and spent most of my adult life in a suburb of Chicago and have an MBA from a Big Ten School. These simple facts seemingly reinforce your boundless wisdom, insight-fullness and profound charm!
Y'all Have a great day, now ya hare!
2:40 pm on Monday, July 16, 2012
Reading comprehension must not be stressed at Big 10 schools? I never said you were the tardbilly, only that you trusted the tardbilly for your talking points.
Yeah, MarketWatch is a huge difference in that it's owned and operated by WSJ, it says WSJ right under MarketWatch in the header, and has multiple links to WSJ and other WSJ publications. I get it that you can't argue with the facts, but you aren't even picking nits very well.
I see you didn't bother responding to the facts in that article or my stance on investing. Way to go. Come back when you have something.

All the bleeding heart liberals (socialist) think more money will inprove education. The education system in South Carolina has been pouring more money into the educatiom system every year for the last 100 years. All it has given us is newer schools,higher pay for teachers and administers to give us the (thank God for Mississippi ) next to last education system in the Nation. Lex-Rich and Lexington One have higher SAT scores ( over 400 points higher) than Richland One and Richland one spends almost double per student. They also have some of the newest schol buildings in the State. So I wish that someone could explain how more money will solve the problem. I guess the same socialist that states this is the same ones that say we can aspend our way out of debt.

Actually, bilgeman, South Carolina is now operating on its lowest educational budget in 20 years. We laid off over 1500 teachers in the last four years. The only reason we didn't lay off more is because of Recovery Act funding, which we don't have anymore, and which means we'll lose even more. Another thing you're apparently not recognizing - that cost per pupil rate. That's calculated with ALL costs, from electricity to maintenance to payment for the new buildings. Its so much higher in the places you specify because of those newest school buildings you yourself point out. Funny how the GOP has its minions spouting out "socialist!!!" in argument against capitalist principles; maybe that's because they're hoping to hide their Marxian economics goals that they've been promoting for the last 30 years.
12:29 pm on Monday, July 16, 2012
bargeman - what you say is true, but you are fighting an uphill battle.
Americans have been conditioned to believe that increased spending for education results in a better product. That canard can be used to support any spending proposal! It follows that if we pay to have the buses repainted of if we buy a new piano for the cafeteria, we have spent additional money therefore we are going to have smarter kids! See how easy and painless that is.....and it takes no brains, just write the check!

Education costs money. Diversity (arts, music, school clubs, etc. ) improves the students' intelligence. What is so expensive? Well, buildings cost money, school buses cost money, interscholastic sports cost lots of money compared to the other school clubs and intramural sports. Teachers don't cost much because we simply don't give them the same pay rate other professionals get, and politically everyone thinks it's the teachers unions that cost the school district so much that no one has the ethics to curtail the expenses of the interscholastic football program and give the teachers a decent salary. They can't refuse the pay the electric bill, but they can freeze the salaries.
10:31 am on Sunday, July 15, 2012
If what you say is true. Then explain why it has not worked for the last 100 years and why it will work now. I am retired from the school system and they will not hold the PARENTS RESPONSABLE and took GOD out of the schools. Until that is restored nothing will EVER change.
11:33 am on Sunday, July 15, 2012
It's worked plenty in the last 100 years, bilgeman. In fact, we used to have the highest rated education system on the planet. It was when the Reagan administration started chopping it up, blocking it from the developments that our educational system and schools needed to continue, that our school system started to plunge. US ranks at the bottom in many education categories when compared to other developed nations.
7:59 pm on Sunday, July 15, 2012
Hey reg the obamanite. Blame it on anybody but the socialist The schools have spent more money every year also the counties and the State have increased spending every year. We still have sorry teachers, educrats ,city and county tax and spend RINOS who are really socialist democraps. We still have the worse education system in the good olde USA because of the sorry,money hungry, socialist teachers and Administrators. As long as ehe schools keep doing what they have been doing it will stay sorry.
8:28 pm on Sunday, July 15, 2012
Who's held the state govt for the past 15 years, bilgeman? Who is it, exactly, that is responsible for the slashed funding we've had? (I see you're ignoring the post I made here that pointed out our school budget got slashed to 1991 levels.) Go on - keep trying to point fingers away from the communist/Marxian trend that the GOP has taken over the last three decades. Your American ancestors are rolling over in their graves....

@bargeman: Blame it on anybody but the socialist...
seems you believe there is something wrong with a socialist...help me understand why...i know some very bright, happy, rich socialist...socialism is just another form of government...why do you use it as a pejorative...
also any reason to believe personal attacks enlighten discussions...generally they add nothing...eg...
how does calling someone a socialist proves that 'Until that [God and parental responsibility] is restored nothing will EVER change...for that matter what do most of your point have to with 'Haley's Arts Vetoes?'
8:46 am on Monday, July 16, 2012
Socialist are worthless. They think eht government man mahe laws are better than God's laws. They think I should pay for the wothless people that will not obay God's law and work. They think that the people who work should feed them,give free medical,f ree housing, free phome....ETC. If you will not work you should not eat or get anything else except what you deserve. NOTHING.The whole truth is that if you socialist do not take money fron the producers by gun point ( forced taxes )the worthless ones would die out. Problem solved as you are responsable for your self and your family.
9:56 am on Monday, July 16, 2012
I see that the "free" education you received didn't take but did you know that your web browser likely has a free spellcheck and if it doesn't your computers word processing software definitely does? Using it wouldn't make you a socialist.
To your other points, you aren't smart enough to argue with.
10:40 am on Monday, July 16, 2012
I knew more than the socialist teachers so I left after the 9 grade ,join the US Navy right after my 17th birthday, got out 10 years later because your government kept trying to get me killed to keep the industral/military complex making money from ammo,bombd and body bags. I am retired and proberly do as well as the top 30% in the USA. I have made it my goal for the reat of my lfe to fight taxes ,welfare, dumbing down school systems and Socialist.Therefore with socialist like you I have very good entertainment for the reat of my life. I am prepared for the coming collapse are you?
11:46 am on Monday, July 16, 2012
Another Navy man, how you doing boats? I got out after 4 years as an RM2 with a tax free 50k reup bonus on the table because they let morons stay in until high year tenure and I just couldn't support an operational organization that wouldn't cull the non-performers. Not that I don't believe that they deserve to live, just that they don't need to be between me and harms way.
Enjoy your battle fighting America and stocking your bunker.

WOW! I don't beleive Gov. Haley has any idea about the arts program and the benefits it provides. She wants to be re-elected and that means NO TAXES..CUT CUT CUT. I am SC born and raised but I am ashamed that all we hear is negative comments from our folks in Columbia. I get real tired of the bickering and finger pointing on issues. I pay taxes and I don't mind when it benefits people and especially our education system. I am embarassed ..............I do and will not support Gov. Haley.

It's common knowledge that a model's life is not always easy. Sure, it has its glamorous moments, but these girls are constantly having their physical appearances scrutinized, and make a living by tip-toeing in the highest of heels down a catwalk approximately ten miles long. Compared to runway modeling, photo shoots sound comparatively less stressful. However, some of them include props and settings that are beyond terrifying!
I don't know about you Lovelies, but I've seen many an episode of America's Next Top Model, and some of those challenges would have made me sprint away from the camera. Does anyone remember the episode that required the girls to pose in a grave? Count me out! As it turns out, these types of photo shoots are not unique to the popular reality show. The artistic minds of the fashion world have dreamed up photo shoots that are just as absurd as the ones we see on television. While being tall, beautiful, and internationally known sounds fantastic, I think I'll keep my 5'3″ body and spare myself the horror of posing on the edge of a building.
Don't these photo shoots look terrifying, Lovelies? Which would you be the most scared to do?

The Next Step – No Pun Intended
Moving right along. It's not as if I don't already compose software in enough different languages already. I'm taking on a new one. And a new platform. And in my spare time.
For my current job I code in HTML, JavaScript, VBScript, VB6, ASP.NET, C# and toss in a little SQL. All on Microsoft and Oracle platforms. Previous jobs have had me coding in Python, PHP, ANSI C, Assembly Language, CList, SAS, Cobol, PL/1 and others, on platforms ranging from IBM mainframes and Prime, Wang and Amdahl computers to various flavors of Unix boxes.
Now I'm adding Objective-C and the Mac/iPhone/iTouch/iPad platform.
I must be crazy… or compulsive… or perhaps just antsy.
What started as a desire to write the next iFart application and make a million dollars has progressed to something quite different. I've really become enamored with the platform. And not just the delivery vehicle(s) but the prospect of being part of something that is becoming ubiquitous. I know I used that word in a previous article about the iPad, but I think portable computing is coming of age, and can really be put to use as something to improve the user's quality of life, and more importantly, capability as a professional or a hobbyist.
I've got a good grip of programming fundamentals, so I'm hoping to master the new language syntax with a thorough reading of a few books I've picked up. I'm exploring the XCode interface and the iPhone SDK in parallel to my reading to observe the potential of the platform.
I've downloaded the development software and obtained a certificate for signing my code as an Apple certified developer. I've written a few Hello World applications and feel comfortable with the development environment. I've begun to understand the language syntax and know how to get detailed help when I need to learn more. I've started developing sample projects to explore the extensive features of the iPhone class libraries. I've got a couple personal projects on my ToDo list, and I'm concentrating on the libraries that provide the functions I'll be needing for those.
As a professional programmer, I've gone through this process a lot. If it's not a new language or platform, it's a new version, which can sometimes be nearly as challenging. Consider it part of the job, if you want to keep up with the market. It's what keeps me, and others like me, at the front of the herd. This time though, I'm feeling a little anxious, as if there's more to it than just the status quo. It's as if something's changing. I'm excited about it. I wonder what I'll be doing a year from now?

A Maxton man was killed after being hit by a tractor-trailer on US 74 on Friday morning, according to a state Highway Patrol report.
At 4:44 a.m., 34-year-old Shawn Bryant was walking north across the westbound travel lane of US 74 bypass near Old Johns Road when he was struck by a tractor-trailer travelling in the left lane.
The left front corner of the vehicle hit Bryant and propelled him into the median cable. Bryant was transported by Scotland County EMS to Scotland Memorial Hospital, where he was declared dead.
It is believed that Bryant was crossing the road after his car broke down. According to the report, he was probably not visible to the tractor-trailer driver.
The driver, John Burke of Red Springs, was uninjured.
According to a witness, the tractor-trailer was travelling slower than the posted speed limit of 70. The driver pulled over some 1,000 feet from the scene of the accident. He is unlikely to face charges.

Your traces aren't square, but do you need to care?
Your traces aren't square, but do you need to care?
Yes, you should care about the fact that PCB traces, when actually manufactured, end up having more of a trapezoidal shape. This is especially true when modeling those traces to determine the correct impedance. More important than the trapezoid shape itself is the resulting change in trace width. Typically, on 1/2-oz. copper, the etching process leaves the top of a trace about 0.5 mils narrower than the bottom of the trace. That means that a 5-mil trace is actually 4.5-mils wide on top. So, when modeling traces to determine impedance, such as in the Stackup Editor in HyperLynx, it is best to take this into account by using the mean trace width. For a 5-mil trace, that would mean using 4.75 mils as the trace width, since it will be 5 mils at the base and 4.5 mils on top.
The proper modeling of trace width is vital to ensuring your impedance calculations match what is actually being manufactured. Proper dielectric modeling is also important – not only to make sure you are using the right dielectric constant values (as discussed in yesterday's blog post) – but also in the area around the traces. Typically the area around the traces is more resin-rich, and will thus have a lower dielectric constant than the rest of the dielectric layer. You can model this in the the HyperLynx Stackup Editor by specifying a different dielectric constant for the trace layers.
You can read more about matching impedance calculations to measurement in my recent article in InCompliance magazine:

Foot Surgery for Athletes, Children, and People With Other Health Problems
Topic Overview
Foot surgery generally is not advised for athletes (anyone participating in sports or fitness activities) who can still comfortably continue their sports. You may want to try nonsurgical treatments such as:
- Taking pain relievers.
- Stretching your shoes or wearing shoes that stretch.
- Using pads, splints, or arch supports.
- Using custom orthotics.
- Switching to more comfortable shoes.
- Changing activities.
But if pain begins to limit your activities, you may want to consider surgery.
- You are likely to have some loss of function after surgery. Stiffness may persist in the affected joint after surgery, which may be more limiting than the pain of the original joint deformity. You probably will be able to resume activities, though possibly at a lesser level.
- If you are a competitive athlete whose Reference bunions Opens New Window or Reference hammer toes Opens New Window interfere with your sport, surgical treatment may improve joint function enough to allow you to continue competing. Some athletes can postpone more significant surgery that would align and straighten the joint until after their competitive careers are over.
Children and teenagers
Some children begin developing bunions before the age of 10. Surgery may be appropriate for children and teens who have pain or limited activity that persists despite nonsurgical treatment. It is as important for youths as it is for adults that the surgeon has experience doing various types of bunion surgery on a regular basis and can choose a procedure that will best treat the child's specific type of bunion or toe deformity.
A pediatric specialist is trained to diagnose and treat the child's rapidly changing body, which is very different from the developed adult body. Some podiatrists and orthopedic surgeons specialize in children's foot deformities and surgery.
People with other health problems
If you have health problems such as Reference diabetes Opens New Window, Reference rheumatoid arthritis Opens New Window, Reference gout Opens New Window, neuromuscular disorders (such as Reference muscular dystrophy Opens New Window), or circulatory problems that limit blood flow to your feet, discuss the risks of surgery with your health professional. These and other conditions increase the chance of complications after surgery.

So with MWC right around the corner and impending new Nokia devices, how long do you think they will wait to put them on the market?
Nokia does need to stay competitive, but I think most would agree they don't want to see a great set of devices announced then have to wait 4 months to get one.
I'm on Verizon and wanted a 920 and was super disappointed with the exclusivity. I had an HTC 8x for a couple weeks but returned it. Ready for a really amazing WP8 experience and to get away from this boring iPhone. - 02-19-2013, 08:50 PM #4
There are two guys on the forums here, Honestabebread and Mr. MacPhisto, who have inside info. I don't remember which, but one said a while back that it was looking like Easter for a time frame. Of course, with Verizon being Verizon, that is subject to change, and it has been quite a while since he said it, but it at least gives us an idea what they were shooting for.

Here's a nugget garnered from yesterday's WPCentral Podcast (Thanks to Dan Rubino): In September, Nokia announced great new hardware - the 920, yet they were lambasted in the press and the stock market. What were the complaints? No carrier agreements announced, no ship dates announced, and no pricing. Nokia is a company that hears customer complaints and acts on them - how many times have we seen "x phone company wouldn't take care of me and I contacted Nokia directly, and they're sending me a new phone." ? Dan Rubino brings out a good point that Nokia heard those complaints, so there's a really good chance they won't make the same mistakes again. I'm going to lean on that and trust it until proven otherwise.

I don't think it matters really, Nokia will give AT&T the high end and the middle to low for everyone else. so if your not on AT&T don't hold your breath. I think this hurts WP overall the exclusive thing. Because if you want a high end WP you have to be on AT&T. I really don't see the 8x as high end.though it has a great screen res. 4.3 with 16 gb is middle road now.
Someone hasn't been following WP news...

Finn Corporation's TRU-Mulch line consists of six mulches specially designed to meet the demands of various erosion control and hydroseeding projects. The wood fibers used throughout the line originate from virgin poplar and pine wood chips from forests of the eastern United States. A non-toxic green dye is added to the fibers to increase visibility during application and to enhance aesthetic appeal.
• TRU-Wood provides an effective solution for basic erosion control and hydroseeding needs.
• TRU-Wood with HydroStik enhances the effectiveness of TRU-Wood by adding Finn's HydroStik tackifier. This increases erosion protection by allowing a stronger binding of fibers to the soil.
• TRU-Blend combines the holding strength of wood fiber with a clean, recycled paper product. It features the same holding strength as TRU-Wood.
• TRU-Blend with HydroStik increases the erosion protection of the standard TRU-Blend product by adding Finn's HydroStik tackifier.
• TRU-Max SMM is a stabilized mulch matrix designed for 3- to 6-month soil stabilization and erosion control projects in construction areas where the soil has been disturbed.
• TRU-Bond BFM provides great holding power on the toughest slopes.

Acoustiblok Inc., a world leader in noise abatement for both inside and outside installations, has announced the release of Acoustifence, a revolutionary new defense against outdoor noise pollution. The company says that foliage or trees on earth berms can actually increase noise. Since sound is dispersed in much the same way as light, it will penetrate and reflect off the foliage in all directions, including that side of the berm that is meant to be peaceful and quiet. Although the higher the berm, the better the sound deflection, it is far more affordable and more practical to increase the berm height by installing Acoustifence than it is to add fill to the berm.

I have installed maven and have all the spring batch jar files including the samples jar file. Can someone please help me to run the samples to get started ?
I have installed maven and have all the spring batch jar files including the samples jar file. Can someone please help me to run the samples to get started ?
If I were you I would get the source code for the samples (and then the easiest way is to get all the source code for the whole project - I think we might try to make that easier). Then just do
$ mvn test
on the command line. Or use your IDE to run the unit tests in the samples project.
Dave, I'm using Jdeveloper as the IDE. I have the source code of the samples imported to the ide as a project and I don't see any unit test java files.
I was able to figure out how to run the samples. I tried running nfljob....and I get this error in the log.
Nov 29, 2007 12:31:37 PM org.springframework.batch.execution.bootstrap.supp ort.BatchCommandLineLauncher start
SEVERE: org.springframework.beans.factory.access.Bootstrap Exception: Unable to return specified BeanFactory instance: factory key [batchExecutionEnvironment], from group with resource name [classpath*:beanRefContext.xml]; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefini tionException: No bean named 'batchExecutionEnvironment' is defined
Process exited with exit code 1.
NFL job takes rather long to run, so I think it is broken deliberately as a temporary workaround to speed up running of the test suite as a whole.
I don't think it is broken - I can run it anyway. The error is saying that the beanRefContext.xml from the claspath does not contain a bean definition called "batchExecutionEnvironment". I'm not sure where that came from as the beanRefContext that we ship has "simple-container" as the context (I just fixed that http://opensource.atlassian.com/proj...owse/BATCH-239). Maybe you need to launch it with -Dbatch.execution.environment.key=simple-container?

Would you rather spend many weeks researching entertainers, their level of talent, their reputation and their reliability or would you rather make one call to a good Entertainment agency? PartyPOP features some of the most renowned and reliable agencies in the country. Good agents deal on a daily basis with their clients (i.e. bands, musicians, magicians, etc.) . They spend a lot of time helping customers find the best entertainers for their wedding, party or corporate event. Many talent agents also spend a considerable amount of time looking for new and exciting ideas and entertainers. The most important ingredient of a successful event is that the vendors or entertainers show up on time and deliver a peak performance. Agencies with a good reputation will drop entertainers who are unreliable. This is probably one of the greatest advantages of hiring an agent. Customers get access to professional, punctual and high quality talent.

Litchfield native receives Valor Award
According to a story posted May 22 on ksby.com, U.S. Marshals informed the SBPD the armed suspect, who had prior law enforcement experience, and his son were on a train that would be passing through Santa Barbara.
DeForest was part of a group of officers sent to apprehend the suspect after he reportedly had picked up his 9-year-old son and then burned the family home to the ground.
DeForest and another detective confronted the suspect as he came out of the restroom of the train car and a fight ensued.
The detectives were able to take the fugitive into custody quickly enough to avoid a possible hostage situation and other violence.
DeForest's mother, Ann, said she and her husband, Michael, were thrilled that their son won the Guerry Award for Valor.
"When Jeff called to tell us he was being given the award he was very humble and said it was not a big deal, just another day at work," said Ann."However, it was and is a terrific honor and not given lightly or often."
According to his mother, DeForest has wanted to be in law enforcement since he graduated from high school.He began his career with the Lassen County Sheriff's Department after serving in the National Guard.
He was hired by the SBPD in 2002 where he began as a patrol officer, moved into gang suppression, then special investigation/burglary, and is currently a narcotics investigator.
"He loves his career and takes great pride in being a conscientious police officer," said Ann. "When he was growing up and attending Janesville School, Jeff was the one who chose the underdog to be on his team.He has never changed."

Social Protection
Vulnerability and Poverty Reduction (VPR) team members work to address key challenges to the extension of social protection.
In recent years social protection has risen rapidly up the policy agenda of many governments, donors, international organisations and NGOs. A growing body of evidence shows that measures such as cash transfer programmes positively impact people's lives, reducing poverty and vulnerability and strengthening livelihoods.
However, there remain substantial challenges to the extension of social protection to all people which include:
- We need to strengthen the linkages between social protection policy and multidimensional approaches to the analysis of poverty, risk and vulnerability.
- We need open, independent and critical networks to share across regions and countries innovative work on the design, delivery and evaluation of social protection interventions.
- We need to link research with capacity building and advocacy, in order to support campaigns for the right to social protection, and to ensure that practitioners and policymakers have the information and analytical tools to advocate for social protection effectively and credibly.
IDS also hosts the Centre for Social Protection (CSP), a global hub for research, policy analysis, and capacity building on social protection. CSP advances thinking, policy and practice in social protection by:
- Creating knowledge about social protection policies and evaluating the impacts of social protection programmes.
- Mobilising networks of researchers, policymakers and practitioners to exchange knowledge and advocate for change.
- Strengthening capacities to shape and implement social protection policies.
To contact the CSP team please e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com
