ST. CHARLES – Candice Alvarez said she knows the first step toward keeping her family flu free this year is getting a flu shot.
With symptoms of fever, aches and an upper-respiratory cough, she also knows that coming down with the flu is pretty miserable.
"I had it on Christmas last year," she said, adding that she got the flu despite having a flu shot. "It didn't last as long – maybe a day or two. It wasn't a whole week or anything."
The St. Charles resident stopped by a flu shot clinic Tuesday hosted by Kid Care Medical at The Salvation Army in St. Charles to get shots or nasal injections for her children, ages 6 and 18 months. She said even though she caught the flu last year despite having gotten the shot, it's still worth it because it shortened the illness.
Parents and children are among the most frequent patients at Kid Care Medical flu shot clinics, which take place on the third Tuesday of each month at The Salvation Army in St. Charles, said Pat McNamara, program director for community outreach for Kid Care Medical. She said seniors usually get their flu shots through their primary doctors, which is why they see fewer seniors at clinics.
She said turnout at the clinics usually depends on how prolific the flu is each season, adding that the flu virus hasn't hit very hard yet so far this year.
Still, it's a good idea to stay ahead of the curve, she said.
"It is so contagious," she said. "And for certain populations – the very young and the very old – it can be a killer."
When the H1N1 strain hit a few years ago, McNamara said people flocked to flu shot clinics for immunizations. She said this year, health care personnel are looking out for the H1N3 strain, which mainly was contained in the southern states last year.
Children as young as six months can get their flu shot, McNamara said. The flu shot being administered this year is called a quad strain flu shot, which covers four types of viruses, she added.
Jenna Micko-Vogt of St. Charles said getting a flu shot on Tuesday for her daughter, Jordan Micko-Vogt, 8, was quick and easy.
"I just want to keep her protected," she said. "They make it very easy – you fill out two quick sheets of paperwork and pay $5. It's much simpler than making a doctor's appointment."
Health care workers kept up the walk-ins as they filed into the room. After parents filled out paperwork, health care workers took temperatures and asked about allergies before taking families behind a screen and administering the shots. McNamara said shots are $5 for children or free with Medicaid and adults who stop by the clinic don't have to pay more than $20 for a flu shot.
Parents can call a hotline at 630-599-5480 to make an appointment, which helps Kid Care Clinic staff prepare for the number of people who plan to stop by, but walk-ins are also welcome. The next flu shot clinic at The Salvation Army, 1710 S. Seventh Ave., is from 4 to 7 p.m. Nov. 19.
Margarita Espinoza of St. Charles stopped by Tuesday's clinic with three of her four children ages 2, 6 and 12. She said they get their flu shots every year and said it's especially important to keep her kindergartner flu free because younger children tend to spread more germs.
Nancy Levers of St. Charles shared the same sentiment for the 2- and 5-year-old she had in tow Tuesday.
"We just want to do everything we can to keep our kids sick free," she said.

Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez are having a baby boy. Can you say baby boy Berry Martinez five times fast?
The Oscar-winning actress' fiance, a French actor, confirmed the news to People on Wednesday.
"My son will be an American, but I remain French," Martinez told the mag while visiting Paris.
PHOTOS: The Hollywood baby boom
Martinez, 47, and Berry, 46, confirmed their baby news in April just as Berry set off to film "X-Men: Days of Future Past." They previously would not comment on early reports that they were expecting a boy.
It will be the couple's first child together, though Berry has a young daughter, Nahla, with her ex-boyfriend, model Gabriel Aubrey. Martinez currently lives with Berry in the States.
Martinez spilled the beans during opening night of the Champs-Elysees film festival. He's the festival's honorary president this year, People said. The actor also noted that walking the red carpet in France isn't as widely touted as it is for celebrities in the U.S.

"I'm French — it's less important," he added. "Meaning, I remain a Frenchman in America, but I adapt to American culture. I feel good there — but I'm still a foreigner."
But he doesn't expect his future son to have the same problems.
"My son will be an American," he said again.
The actress, who will be a guest of honor at the festival, previously shared how great she was feeling with the pregnancy.
"I feel fantastic," she said of her pregnancy in April. "This has been the biggest surprise of my life, to tell you the truth. Thought I was kind of past the point where this could be a reality for me. So it's been a big surprise and the most wonderful."
No word yet on the due date, but it is clear that the the actress has no problem flaunting her sprouting baby bump.

Andy Sheehan just ran a story on the KDKA tv news.
Calling it "Scandall fallout".
And the tease was. "Could this hurt the Penguins slots chances?"
I was incredulous to see where they intended to go with this and what the "tie in" was.
They mentioned the Tocchet scandal, showed him as a Pen. Then speculated on Recchi and LeClair.
Cut to attorney for Recchi and LeClair refuting the story of their involvement.
Then cut to Ken Sawyer with a statement contrasting the two, a legal state authorized parlor, with the scandal being illegal bookmaking.
Great job by KS as always. imo
Then Sheehan does his tie in, to how it may effect the Pen's.
Right after Sawyer's sound bite.
Sheehan "well that may be so. SOME people feel that gambling and professional sports should never mix. This only gives them fuel for their fire."
What a bunch of crap.
I am not even going to sit here and point out the vast differences.
I just wanted to make anyone aware of that, since it was near the top of the KDKA 6pm news broadcast. And in case the issue ever comes up and people attempt to use that as an argument against IOC.
Fuel to the fire?? Yeah, maybe for idiotic arguments.

Beth's Charming Downsize

- What I Love About My Small Home:
- When we decided to save money and downsize from our longtime rental in Silver Lake, we knew we would be sacrificing major square footage. But, as we explored our charming little back house for the first time, we became so excited by the possibilities that the size didn't really register. All we could think about was how bright and happy it felt inside. Is it too hippie to say it? The vibe was right. As were the details that we could build on.The plentitude of paned windows and the light they let in, the fenced yard with a big tree begging to be hammock-ed, our cute kitchen, the coziest bedroom ever (maybe because it's literally a bed-room with our eastern king), and (thank god) the garage. We also love that, with the addition of a semi-built-in bookcase, we finally have a little library nook in our office. And we are just a short stroll from of our favorite farmers market, restaurants, and shops on the Atwater Village strip and dangerously close to Eagle Rock Brewery.
- Biggest Challenge of Living in a Small Space:
- Hands down -- limited space and storage (followed closely by taking pictures of said small space). My 6'x2' closet is the only one in the whole house, and our kitchen has an eighth of the cupboards of our last place. But tricky things like this force you to get creative. So, we got my husband an IKEA wardrobe that somehow fits (along with our king bed) in the tiny bedroom, a barrister bookcase for dish storage, a small vintage hutch for the bathroom, all our spices and knives are magnetic, and I stash the vacuum behind one of the living room drapes. Small homes require you only keep around things that you love and that feed the space you're constantly recreating. This is another challenging, but fun, element -- a compact casa is never finished. You're always moving things around, thinning stuff out, looking for a better place to put one thing or another, always seeking balance and the best possible design for every nook, because every corner counts all the more when the whole is tiny.

COMMERCE CITY, Colo. – Sporting KC striker Teal Bunbury opened his 2012 goal-scoring account on Saturday with first-half brace at Dick's Sporting Goods Park, but the Colorado Rapids answered back with goals by Tyrone Marshall and Kosuke Kimura in the second half to finish the match tied at two goals apiece. It was both clubs' first draw of the season.
The out-of-favor Bunbury made the most of his second start of the season by collecting two close-range finishes in the first 14 minutes of the contest, providing an immediate offensive jolt to a KC team that had scored just once in their previous three games.
Colorado's dominant possession helped the home side back into the contest. Marshall headed home a Martin Rivero freekick in the 52nd minute to make the score 2-1, and Kimura completed the comeback shortly after by tapping home a Conor Casey cetering pass from close range.
Sporting's three-game losing streak seemed to be well behind them when Seth Sinovic's floated service 65 seconds into the match found an unmarked Bunbury lurking in the center of the box. The US international made no mistake in burying his header and putting the visitors on top.
Twelve minutes later, Matt Besler's throw-in went right through Rapids keeper Matt Pickens' hands and into Bunbury's path. The 22-year-old pounced on the gift to knock the second goal of the game into Colorado's empty net in the 14th minute.
But after weathering the initial blow, the Rapids slowly began to ease into the contest, finding creases in the Kansas City back line and nearly scoring several times in the first half. Sporting keeper Jimmy Nielsen was called upon to make a string of fine saves in the 25th minute, including a sliding stop on Drew Moor's close-range blast. Conor Casey's through ball in the 33rd minute nearly found a wide-open Tony Cascio in the penalty box, but Aurelien Collin's perfectly timed tackle prevented a sure goal.
WATCH: What Pareja told the team at halftime
The offensive blitz from Oscar Pareja's team finally found a tangible result seven minutes into the second half, when Martin Rivero's pinpoint free kick found the head of the Jamaican international Marshall, who banged in his first goal of the season.
In the 60th minute, Colorado once again capitalized on a set piece to sting the visitors. Jeff Larentowicz's freekick from 25 yards out was initially stopped by Nielsen, but the veteran 'keeper spilled the rebound to Casey. The hulking striker cleverly turned and slotted a ball to Kimura, who buried the Rapids' second.
Both sides pushed for the win in the final thirty minutes, and Nielsen was forced into a diving 86th minute save on a Rivero header. However, both teams were forced to settle for a share of the points. For Colorado, it was the first time they came back from a 2-0 deficit to earn a point since April 15, 2006 against Dallas.
Sporting now return to Livestrong Sporting Park to open up a three-game streak against San Jose next Sunday [4:30 pm EST, NBC Sports], while the Rapids will host the Montreal Impact on Saturday night [9 pm EST, MLS Live].
Scoring Summary:
SKC - Teal Bunbury (Seth Sinivic) 2'
SKC - Teal Bunbury 14'

Easy install, but I'd advise downloading the manual and taking it out to your vehicle to make sure you have room for it.

County announces budget with no tax increase
BROOKVILLE — The Jefferson County Commissioners Wedn-esday advertised the prop-osed budget for the 2011 fiscal year, and there will be no inc-rease on property taxes.
The property tax rate will remain at 10.75 mills of assessed property value.
County finance officer Deborah Gillung said it was "kind of a surprise" that a tax increase was not needed. This is the second consecutive year that the commissioners did not have to raise taxes.
Commission Chairman Paul Corbin said two factors contributed to the county not having to raise property taxes despite more than $500,000 in unexpected spending needed for repairs to the Jefferson County 911 Center.
First, the county saved more than $300,000 in debt service payments by refinancing existing bonds. The county's financial standing improved earlier this year, and therefore, lower interest rates were available for borrowing.
In October, the county borrowed more than $12 million to pay off existing debt. The $12 million was borrowed at a lower interest rate, which saved the county money.
The other factor that allowed the county to maintain its current millage rate was the expiration of some Keystone Opportunity Zone (KOZ) properties. The KOZ program was a tax abatement initiative that allowed exemptions from property taxes for those who developed properties.
The program was designed to give incentive to property owners to create jobs. Some of the properties that were in the program last year were removed this year, and increased revenue will be experienced.
The county also had to make a smaller contribution to its retirement fund than other counties of similar size. A contribution of $274,000 was needed this year, while similar counties are contributing more than $500,000.
The commissioners did not invest public pension funds in the stock market, as other county's commissioners did. Therefore, the pension program was not underfunded when stocks depreciated in value.
The county also had an additional $200,000 in the beginning budget for the next fiscal year because the commissioners have managed to pay off debt that was created by yearly operating deficits.
The commissioners allocated $200,000 to reducing that debt the past three years, and that debt is now eliminated. This year, the budget has a positive ending fund balance more than $10,000.
"It has been a difficult struggle (to get out of debt)," Corbin said. "We have finally reduced the deficit that was on the books. We cannot sit here and take all of the credit for that. Our row officers, our employees, everybody has worked together to reduce costs."
Throughout the debt reduction process, Corbin said the goal of the commissioners was to limit any tax increases that may have been necessary.
"We had to make some tough decisions," he said. "We did what we thought would have the least impact on the taxpayers. We realize that times are tough. A dollar in your pocket is better than a dollar in ours. You know how to spend your money better than we do."
Even though the county's financial footing is improving, Corbin cautioned that spending should not increase.
"It doesn't mean that we've turned the corner and we can now spend frivilously," he said. "We must continue to monitor spending and revenues. You never know what mandates will be coming down from the state."

CNN-SI is reporting Boston College defensive tackle B.J. Raji tested positive for drugs at the NFL scouting combine and that teams were already aware he had tested positive for marijuana at Boston College.
There are some mock drafts, including one by former Raider exec Mike Lombardi, which have the Raiders taking Raji in an effort to shore up the NFL's 31st-ranked rushing defense.
Drug test stories always make me a little uncomfortable. It's a mine field fraught with the possibility of error, with those who want to float information for their own purposes and reporters eager to be the first to a story.
I've heard rumors before, but nothing close to the reporting stage. Frankly, without the drug test directly in front of me so I could see it with my own eyes (and someone who could help me understand what I was looking at), I'd just as soon take a pass.
It's like one of those occasions where I run into a Raiders player out on the town during a road trip. "You going to write about this?," they'll sometimes ask.
My answer?
"Not unless you wind up on a police blotter. Then I've got no choice."
Listen to Warren Sapp talk about how he was linked to cocaine by ESPN, a story which caused him to fall in the first round. Charlie Garner, an affable sort, never did truly trust the media again after a false report in a Philadelphia newspaper chronicled a positive drug test for marijuana.
It usually turns out that most of the stories linking athletes to drugs are true. The NFL seems to have a pipeline regarding its allegedly anonymous drug and steroid program which runs straight to ESPN, Fox, etc.
It makes the league look as if it is serious in cleaning up the problem.
Whether Raji truly has a problem or not, or whether he ever failed a test, is not known.
But it's out there now, and it could cost him. I'm sure there are teams that fully realize there are players who may go Michael Phelps from time to time, and they're more worried about the positive test and the negative spin then they are the fact that the drug was actually consumed.
The Raiders are known for going their own way and not concerning themselves with what people think. They had the information anyway. The story alone isn't going to alter their perception.

A Brisbane court has approved an $82.5 million settlement deed between Storm Financial clients and margin lender Macquarie Bank.
More than 1000 investors who were devastated when the Townsville-based financial services company folded in early 2009 will receive money under the deed, which was given the green light in the Federal Court in Brisbane late on Friday afternoon.
However, the money will not be evenly distributed.
After consideration, Justice John Logan approved a proposed 35 per cent premium for the 315 investors who funded a class action against the bank.
The court heard they will receive a 42 per cent return on the money they lost through Storm, while the remaining investors will receive just 17.6 per cent.
The premium was slammed by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) as unfair.
However, Justice Logan ruled it gave "apt recognition to the very real risk they assumed in putting their money forward" to fund the litigation.
The decision was met with relief from a small number of the investors who attended.
Justice Logan acknowledged the settlement gave investors certainty of a return from litigation which probably would otherwise have been destined for the High Court and might not have been concluded until 2016.
The court heard the settlement included no admission of liability on behalf of Macquarie, which was alleged to have signed off on multimillion-dollar margin loans without any consideration of whether they could be repaid.
There are still several other ongoing cases against Storm Financial, which is in liquidation, and against banks who lent money to its clients.

Livin' Lite RV Ranks 491st in Inc. Survey
August 31, 2010 by Bob Ashley · 1 Comment
Just as Livin' Lite Recreational Vehicles LLC moves into an 18,000-square-foot addition to its factory in Wakarusa, Ind., the small northern Indiana RV manufacturer has been identified as one of the 500 fastest growing companies in the U.S. in the September issue of Inc. magazine.
Livin' Lite builds modern-looking lightweight, all-aluminum folding camping trailers, travel trailers, truck campers and utility trailers.
"I think it's pretty cool for a little company like us in Wakarusa, Ind., to be among the fastest growing companies in the U.S.," said Livin' Lite President Scott Tuttle. "Next year, our growth will be even more."
Inc. reported that Livin' Lite's revenue growth between 2006 and 2009 was 611% — from $418,000 to $3 million — ranking the company 491st in the magazine's annual survey. Among manufacturers of consumer products and services, Inc. ranked Livin' Lite the 30th fastest growing company.
Livin' Lite's private-label Jeep folding camping trailer, which became available Aug. 1 through Chrysler LLC's Mopar parts subsidiary, also was featured on the cover in the October issue of Four Wheel magazine for a story on off-road trailers.
The Jeep popup camper, along with Livin' Lite's Quicksilver popup, will be built in the new plant expansion where Livin' Lite will begin production next week.
With the addition of the new square footage, Livin' Lite will have 53,000 square feet under roof, and plans to increase the number of its employees by 50 over the next year for a total of more than 80.

Initially, the simple question of the day is: "What's so bad about trying to protect movies and music from being pirated?" And, the simple answer is: "Nothing at all."
But upon further examination, the next and ultimately most important question is: "To what lengths will they (studios and the record labels) go to accomplish their goals?" The answer is also simple. They lobby for the passage of bills that would give the government enough power to not only attempt to stop piracy and fail, BUT while failing would also infringe on free speech, cost millions of jobs and hamper innovation all at the same time. The phrase "can't see the forest for the trees" has never been so perfectly matched with a real life situation.
The birth of SOPA and PIPA has been established through the efforts of the lobbying arms of the studios and labels The MPAA and RIAA. SOPA or (Stop Online Piracy Act) is in the Senate and PIPA, or (Protect Intellectual Property Act) is in the House. Both bills are essentially the 'same wolf in sheep's clothing' so there is really no need to try and differentiate.
If passed, SOPA and/or PIPA will give the Justice Department the ability to shut down almost any blog or website at will, PLUS it will also do absolutely nothing to stop those that pirate movies or music.
Today the studios and labels rely on DMCA take down notices to handle piracy on websites such as YouTube, Vimeo and Facebook. The DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) allows the website to take down the content within a specific period of time after receiving a DMCA notice without penalty.
In most cases all of the companies mentioned above do a fantastic job, and thus far have not done too much complaining about the costs of implementing technology and resources for a successful DMCA compliance structure. The studios and labels have a much more difficult time with websites such as Piratebay.org or, what the studios would call 'Rogue' websites, and it requires a little more knowledge about the details of technology that drives such websites to understand why they are such a complicated issue. Piratebay.org doesn't actually host any infringing content at all, but has millions of links to content being hosted on peer or nodes. A peer, or node is a personal computer connected to the internet with an open source application based on BitTorrent open source code . BitTorrent allows a person to host a file (movie, music, software etc). Those files are made available for download using a torrent download application which happens to be the same application that hosts the infringing files. When someone downloads a file using a BitTorrent, they are actually receiving that one file from multiple machines that are hosting the same exact file using the same piece of software and then they are many cases, making that file available to be downloaded from their machine and the cycle begins. Those files could be hosted on machines that were located in multiple countries and it is possible that the person hosting the infringing file might not even know they are hosting it. Confusing isn't it? It is this confusion that it makes things more difficult and more dangerous. Dangerous because, Piratebay.org doesn't actually host, deliver or infringe on any copyright at all. They only have links to such content, because it shows up in their search engine in the same way search result appear in Googles search engine however, under SOPA and PIPA those sites can not only be prosecuted but shut down entirely for the behavior of others they cannot control. It becomes easier to understand why Google is so interested in SOPA and PIPA. If either act had been passed prior to Googles launch, we would all still be using Yahoo, unless of course the Government hadn't already shut them down too. The same goes for YouTube and Facebook. What concerns free speech advocates about these laws is even more frightening then losing access to Google.
If the government, and those behind government, didn't like Huffington Post or Breitbart.com it would now be legally plausible and simple to shut them down. After all, Huffington Post editors at some point in time have posted links to content from CNN, Fox News, MSNBC and other organizations. These networks could now claim that the Huffington Post was infringing upon their copyrights, and that Huffington editors, under SOPA/PIPA, be charged for each offense and go to jail. Yes jail.
"That would never happen" a friend of mine that works at a major studio told me. My response to him was simple. "I have never known a law that gives the government more power that they have not only used but exceeded the laws intent to gain even more power."
I agree that piracy is a serious problem and between 2001 and 2004 when I testified before Congress, we discussed many solutions, none of which violate our First Amendment Right to Free Speech. I have also worked as an executive at a major studio so I do understand their issues as well however, passage of SOPA or PIPA will essentially allow the Government to shut down the DNS (Domain Name Server) that directed a URL such as www.google.com or www.piratebay.org to the physical address of the server its IP address such as (254.196.2.x). Domain names are simply a fancy and more informative way for you to find a website since the data for a website resides on a server somewhere and that server has a digital address identified by something called an IP or (internet Protocol) address. The Bills target the DNS servers that direct users from the URL name to the IP address. For most users, shutting down an infringing DNS address would prevent them from reaching the website that contained the infringing content or the link to the infringing content. It would NOT however stop the pirate from typing in IP address of (256.196.2.x) as an example, to reach the same content. In short, it wouldn't stop the pirates from downloading illegal content any more than background checks stop a gang member from purchasing a hand gun. Gang members don't buy guns legally and Pirates, hackers and criminals never open the legal route either. It's simply too messy and too easy to get caught. SOPA and PIPA are dangerous, half-baked solutions that will cost millions of jobs, stifle innovation and ultimately do nothing to stop piracy at all. It could be used as a solution for those in Government that seek to silence their opposition, even if that was never the intention. Hollywood has many large donors that are huge contributors to Obama so, even though Harry Reid postponed a vote on the bill, you can bet that they will try to wait for the frenzy to calm down before voting on a somewhat different version of the bill and most likely have a different name than SOPA or PIPA. After all, those names are as about as unpopular as members of Congress right now.

Starting this fall, L. Monique Pittman will add to her duties as a professor in the department of English the new responsibilities of director of the John Nevins Andrews Honors Program.
Since she started teaching at Andrews in 1999, Pittman has contributed to the program both as a member of the Honors Council, and as the teacher of "Literature and the Arts." Her efforts won her the award of Honors "Teacher of the Year" in 2002.
Pittman's affiliation with the program, however, extends back to her time as a student at Andrews, where she graduated in 1991. As a product of the Honors program, Pittman holds a personal interest in it. "I'm thrilled to be given the trust of overseeing a program that has been such a part of my own academic formation," she says. "When I came to Andrews, I joined the Honors Program as a freshman, and it was in those early days of honors classes that I found my own vocation as a Christian educator and my life's calling to learning."
As director, Pittman plans to expand the Junior Research Pro-Seminar as a preparation ground for the Honors Research Project, which stands out alongside the Honors curriculum as a major requirement for graduation from the program. "Our culminating research project offers students a rich opportunity to test out the waters of research and scholarship that they may embark further on in graduate and professional school programs," says Pittman.
In spite of the added workload, Pittman is excited about her future as Honors director. "I've taught in the program for the last eight years and thoroughly enjoyed it," she says. "The students are caring, humane and thoughtful individuals with whom it is a pleasure to learn. It gives me joy to be working with them."

If you watch the end credits of the Coen brothers' The Ballad of Buster Scruggs carefully, one credit pops out: "Gunslinger — Joey Rocketshoes Dillon." It's not hard to guess that "gunslinger" is a jokey credit for gun trainer, but you might be surprised to learn that "Rocketshoes" is not a nickname: Dillon legally changed his middle name after a teen stunt that involved tying tiny rockets to his legs to run faster. A self-described "freak Western enthusiast" and quick-draw champion, Dillon's a busy man, with a résumé that includes participating in Old West–reenactment shoot-outs, crew work as a props master, and an increasingly formidable array of training on movies and TV shows sporting lots of firepower.

Conversations (Draft)
Basic Idea
Std. CDI conversations are very limited. So CODI will provide conversations which are similar to the conversations of Orchestra.
Basically each window has its own context (see WindowContext - it's similar to the ConversationContext of Orchestra).
Within this context it's possible to define multiple conversations (grouped by a typesafe conversation-group instead of a string based name).
The following part explains the available annotations. (All scopes are stored in the session - so the max. lifetime is restricted by the session of the user.)
Beans which are marked with this annotations will be scoped as a grouped conversation. That means the bean exists as one of n (parallel) conversations in the WindowContext. The group is identified via the class of the bean and the qualifiers of the bean.
@ConversationScoped public class ConversationDemoBean1 implements Serializable { }
If the bean isn't used any more it will be un-scoped automatically after a configurable timeout (default: 30 min).
Furthermore it's possible to create conversation groups (it's a std. CDI qualifier annotation which is handled in a special way). That means 1-n beans will exist in the same conversation. As soon as the conversation gets destroyed all beans will be un-scoped.
@ConversationScoped @ConversationGroup(Group1.class) public class ConversationDemoBean1 implements Serializable { } @ConversationScoped @ConversationScoped(Group1.class) public class ConversationDemoBean2 implements Serializable { }
TODO: test if the current approach works also with dependency injection in other beans.
Both beans of example 2 will be scoped in a conversation with the group-key: Group1.class
Some important use-case for groups are e.g. wizards, master/detail views,... (e.g. it's possible to use one page-bean for each wizard step. All page-beans used for the wizard are scoped in the same conversation group. At the end of the wizard we can destroy the conversation group of the wizard and every bean gets un-scoped. Furthermore, conversation groups allow an easier API for the WindowContext.
The window scope is like a session per window. (It's just a special conversation without timeout). All beans exist as long as the WindowContext is active (or the session of the user).
We will see an API for destroying the WindowContext as a whole or just all window scoped beans. However, usually you don't need to use it.
We can use the window scope e.g. for the current user. So it's possible to support e.g. multiple tabs with different logins.
@WindowScoped public class WindowDemoBean implements Serializable { }
This scope is similar to the access scope of Orchestra. That means: a bean will be available in the next request if it is used in the current request.
We have to support AJAX so the name as well as the rule is a bit different: All beans which are used in a view will be available in the current view (e.g. multiple AJAX requests) as well as in the next view. (Redirects are supported as well.)
Example Use-Case:
views: [ View 1 ] [ View 1 ] [ View 2 ] [ View 3 ] used beans: [ Bean 1 ] [ Bean 1 ] [ Bean 2 ] [ Bean 3 ] available beans: [ Bean 1 ] [ Bean 1 ] [ Bean 1 & 2 ] [ Bean 2 & 3 ]
@ViewAccessScoped public class ViewAccessDemoBean implements Serializable { }
1 Bean and N Scopes
Via producer methods it's possible to create multiple beans with the same type but different scopes.
public class MixedConversationDemoBean implements Serializable { private String value; protected MixedConversationDemoBean() { } private MixedConversationDemoBean(String value) { this.value = value; } @Produces @Qualifier1 @WindowScoped public MixedConversationDemoBean createWindowScopedBean() { return new MixedConversationDemoBean("Q1@WindowScoped "); } @Produces @Qualifier2 @ViewAccessScoped public MixedConversationDemoBean createViewAccessScopedBean() { return new MixedConversationDemoBean("Q2@ViewAccessScoped "); } public String getValue() { return value; } }
- Conversation
The central interface for a conversation which is a container for 1-n beans which share the same time for destruction.
public interface Conversation extends Serializable { /** * Deactivates the conversation and un-scopes all bean instances immediately.
 * At the next cleanup the whole conversation will be destroyed. * (If an inactive {@link org.apache.myfaces.extensions.cdi.core.api.scope.conversation.Conversation} * gets resolved before the cleanup, the * {@link org.apache.myfaces.extensions.cdi.core.api.scope.conversation.WindowContext} has to destroy it. * -> A new conversation will be created immediately. */ void end(); /** * Un-scopes all bean instances immediately. * Instead of destroying the whole conversation the conversation stays active. * (The conversation will be marked as used.)
 * As soon as an instance of a bean is requested, * the instance will be created based on the original bean descriptor. * This approach allows a better performance, if the conversation is needed immediately. */ void restart(); }
It's like a session per window.
If you need the id of the current WindowContext you can use: #{currentWindowContext.id}
public interface WindowContext extends AttributeAware, Serializable { String CURRENT_WINDOW_CONTEXT_BEAN_NAME = "currentWindowContext"; /** * @return the id of the conversation (unique for each window/tab) */ String getId(); /** * invalidate all conversations immediately * attention: window scoped beans won't get destroyed. * currently there is no api for it. * (if it is needed you have to call {@link #endConversation} in combination with the {@link WindowScoped}) */ void endConversations(); /** * @param conversationGroup group of the conversation in question * @param qualifiers optional qualifiers for the conversation * @return the removed conversation - null otherwise */ Conversation endConversation(Class conversationGroup, Annotation... qualifiers); /** * destroys all conversation of a group independent of the qualifiers * @param conversationGroup group of the conversation in question * @return the removed conversation - null otherwise */ Set<Conversation> endConversationGroup(Class conversationGroup); /** * @return configuration of the current context */ WindowContextConfig getConfig(); }
The following example shows how to use the current WindowContext
public class DemoBean { @Inject private WindowContext windowContext; public void endConversationGroup1() { this.windowContext.endConversationGroup(ConversationGroup1.class); } }
WindowContext - Advanced Topics
By default we have to add a window-id to the url automatically. Furthermore, (currently) the first request has to force a redirect to force a window id also for the first page. If you don't like a window-id in your url/s, you have to switch to a server-side solution. MyFaces CODI provides the ServerSideWindowHandler which uses the flash-scope of JSF2. That means the JSF version you are using needs a working flash-scope! (os890 provides a 2nd alternative.) However, if you store the window-id via a server-side mechanism you lose the support for window refreshes.
We need a window-id for all pages (similar to MyFaces Orchestra). Reason: if you would have a lazy window-id which is just active on pages which use conversation scoped beans, you might get strange problems. E.g. if Page A doesn't use conversations and Page B starts using conversations and you navigate back to Page A - also Page A needs the window-id. If Page A doesn't supports the window-id (e.g. a menu which uses GET-Requests), the navigation would lead to a broken application. In this case it's just broken in special constellations. Such issues are very hard to find. So we have to force the window-id for all pages. By default you don't have to adjust your pages - just if you have e.g. a GET-Request based menu). That means we are using a fail fast approach (as fast as possible) and you have to refactor such a page - e.g. add ?windowId=#{currentWindowContext.id} to the entries of a menu which uses GET-Requests. (There might be a ViewDefinition based solution for pages which are just available for external applications and not part of the nav.-flow within the application.)
Currently the initial redirect is activated by default - you can deactivate it via: org.apache.myfaces.extensions.cdi.DISABLE_INITIAL_REDIRECT (that might change - see EXTCDI-44)
If you have an external application which isn't able to handle redirects, you can use: windowId=automatedEntryPoint as url parameter.
If you have a 2nd application which has to propagate it's own window-id to your application, you have to deactivate trusted window-ids via: org.apache.myfaces.extensions.cdi.ALLOW_UNKNOWN_WINDOW_IDS
If your component lib is aware of windows, you can impl. a cusotm WindowHandler which delegates the work to the component lib.
Injecting the current conversation
@ConversationScoped public class DemoBean implements Serializable { @Inject private Conversation conversation; public void restartConversation() { //this.conversation.end(); this.conversation.restart(); } }
Currently we have got: WindowContextConfig. It isn't finished - so we have to think about further config entries.
The base class is ConversationEvent. Currently we have got the following event types:
UnscopeBeanEvent (fired before the bean gets destroyed)
For sure the lifecycle annotations @PostConstruct and @PreDestroy are supported as well.
It's possible to implement a custom WindowContextManager. Basically a WindowContextManager is responsible for resolving the current WindowContext (or a context for a given ID). It's possible to activate or remove a special WindowContext. Furthermore, it's possible to reset a WindowContext as well as all Conversations.
However, this part might change -> further details are available in the svn-trunk.

Needed Test-Cases
All tests should work with the default (= url encoding) as well as with a server-side window-handler (requires a working flash scope or the version of os890).
All use-cases which are possible via Ajax requests should be tested with full as well was partial requests.
Initial request triggers redirect to url with window-id.
Request to the same page.
Navigation to a 2nd page and 3rd page -> view-access scoped beans of 1st page should be destroyed (via forwards as well as via redirects)
Navigation to a 2nd page and back to the 1st page should work
An expired window which gets reused should get a new window context with the same (old) window-id (to avoid an additional redirect).
A bookmark of an unknown window-id should trigger the creation of a new window-context

Southwest Virginia feeling housing downturn
- January 27, 2009
- |
The housing market turmoil has struck Southwest Virginia, where foreclosure filings were up 262 percent in 2008 over the previous year.
The region previously had escaped much of the subprime crisis, but the Roanoke Metropolitan area had 301 foreclosure filings in 2008.
The area, however, still has a much lower foreclosure rate than other Virginia localities. Only one out of every 422 households in the Roanoke MSA filed for foreclosure, while one of every 299 households in Fairfax County filed for foreclosure in 2008. (The Roanoke Times)

NEW YORK (AP) — Nobody takes to October like Madison Bumgarner and the San Francisco Giants.
Bumgarner pitched a four-hitter for his latest postseason gem, outlasting Noah Syndergaard in a classic duel between aces, and injury substitute Conor Gillaspie hit a three-run homer in the ninth inning that sent San Francisco to a 3-0 victory over the New York Mets in the NL wild-card game Wednesday night.
Gillaspie connected off All-Star closer Jeurys Familia, who led the majors this year with a club-record 51 saves while allowing only one home run.

BBRY: Bernstein Says Hold on Slow Consumer, Corporate BB10 Take-up
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
Shares of BlackBerry (BBRY) are down 70 cents, or 4.7%, at $14.14, after a couple of bears on the stock weighed in today, claiming weakening sales of recently introduced BlackBerry handsets based on the BB10 operating system, in contrast to a few positive notes in the past week.
Bernstein Research's Pierre Ferragu cut his rating on the shares to Underperform from Market Perform, and cut his price target to $10 from $15, writing that the Street expectations for BB10 devices, including the Z10 and Q10, are too high for the rest of the year.
Ferragu opines that consumer interest in the BB10 handsets is "weak," citing data such as Google searches:
The initial enthusiasm that we observed for Blackberry 10 devices now appears to be waning. Google Trends data shows that consumer search activity in Z10, for instance, is on the same downward trajectory as Nokia's Lumia phones. Google searches for Blackberry Q10 also seem to have peaked and at a level much lower than the Z10. Consensus thinking at Blackberry and in the industry was that the Q10 should meet a better demand than the Z10 and we now see a risk of over-production and inventory problems later in the year [...] Our checks with operators and distributors in Europe also point to a slow take up of BB10 devices by consumers, and confirm the slower ramp of the Q10.
In addition to discounts for the Q10 and Z10 from Carphone Warehouse and France's SFR, Ferragu thinks that take-up in enterprise accounts will be limited:
The company recently announced 60% of the Fortune 500 enterprises are at least testing Blackberry 10, with about half of them (29%) actively using BB 10 devices already. Almost 6 months after launch and in the context of a long overdue platform refresh, we find these numbers worrying, as they imply the proportion of defecting corporate clients could be significant. This, combined with the growing share of other manufacturers, mostly driven by BYOD schemes (bring your own device) at existing Blackberry clients, could result in a steeper decline of Blackberry corporate user, impacting both handset
replacement and service revenues.
Ferragu is modeling 3 million BB10 units shipped in the fiscal Q1 ended last month, and 4 million in the current quarter, which he thinks is more or less in line with estimates. He cut his estimate for the second half of the fiscal year to 10 million units from a prior 11 million. With higher estimates for the legacy BB7 devices, he sees Street consensus being too high on financials: He's modeling $5.77 billion in revenue for the second half of the year, and 3 cents EPS, versus consensus for $6.66 billion and 25 cents per share.
Another bear weighing in today is James Faucette of Pacific Crest, who reiterates an Underperform rating, writing that current BB10 device production is much higher than demand:
Our checks on U.S. Q10 demand show lower shipment and sell-through volumes than posted by the Z10. This reinforces our view that BB10 production of 1.5 million to 2 million per month remains well above
global sell-through demand, which we estimate at well below 500,000 per month.
Faucette urges BlackBerry management to disclose sell-through figures, not just shipments, when it reports results on June 28th:
BlackBerry's management has declined with unfailing consistency to disclose actual BB10 activation figures even when addressing direct questions from investors and press. When the company reports its FQ1 (May) results before the market opens next Friday, June 28, we believe it is incumbent on BlackBerry's management to give a complete and accurate accounting of its progress to establish BB10 as a new mobile platform and ecosystem. We think such transparency would show the highest level of good faith toward BBRY shareholders, many of whom we believe have staked very large portions of their personal holdings on BlackBerry's ultimate success.
Faucette and Ferragu's notes are in stark contrast to positive trends for Q10 sales noted yesterday by RBC Capital's Mark Sue, and noted on Monday by Deutsche Bank's Brian Modoff, and a bullish note Friday from Wells Fargo's Maynard Um.

SP3080 : Allesley Hall Drive
taken 12 years ago, near to Allesley, Coventry, Great Britain
This is 1 of 7 images, with title Allesley Hall Drive in this square
Allesley Park, Coventry :: SP2980
The park has its origins as a medieval deer park, part of which became the landscaped grounds around Allesley Hall mansion which dated from around 1700. The mansion was replaced c. 1910 with the present Allesley Hall building and it and the surrounding lands were gifted to the people of Coventry in the 1960s. Part of the land was built on to form the Allesley Park estate and the slopes between the hall and Allesley village became a public park.

Under the Civil Procedure Rules the parties to an action are encouraged to adopt a "cards-on-the-table" approach toward the exchange of information, not just once litigation has commenced but before as well. It is likely in the early stages that a few documents will be identified as being relevant or key to the matter at hand. These will be used to provide advice as to the merit or not of proceeding with the dispute. If the decision is taken to proceed, the law imposes a requirement to make full and proper disclosure, which is the process whereby the parties to an action disclose to each other all documents in their possession, custody or power relating to matters in question in the action. This title deals with the nature and scope of the obligation to disclose.

|Electronic Evidence & E-Disclosure Handbook
Peter Hibbert's Electronic Evidence and E-Disclosure Handbook provides practical step-by-step guidance on how to project-manage, seek, preserve, and analyse electronic documents for legal review and offers detailed insight on compliance with CPR Part 31 in civil litigation cases in the England & Wales jurisdiction.
E-disclosure has emerged as a new and important facet of disclosure, as noted by Lord Justice Jackson in his Report on Civil Litigation Costs. It is now seen as inevitable in many cases, rather than an optional course for parties. It is therefore hugely important for judges, solicitors and counsel to have a fully detailed and up-to-date understanding of the process, the ever increasing and developing technology available and how it functions.
The author ensures that this insight is easily found in his Handbook – using reader-friendly language to explain the technology involved, starting with basic concepts and developing an understanding of some of the more advanced analytical systems. The text advises lawyers on how to communicate confidently with business clients' IT departments, e-discovery vendors and indeed experienced judges, with a technological understanding and a vocabulary to match. The Electronic Evidence and E-Disclosure Handbook:
•explains where relevant data may be found
•demonstrates what software tools exist and what they do (in terms of collecting, processing, reviewing and analysing the data)
•explains what practitioners can save in terms of cost and time – with screenshots of a number of e-disclosure software tools, showing how data is actually displayed on-screen to enable lawyers to search and review
The text goes on to guide the reader through the disclosure obligations under CPR part 31, in particular Practice Direction 31B, including essential points on:
•advising the client on the need to preserve data and the implications of preservation on business operations
•preparing for the first CMC, including how to conduct the required discussions on technology and disclosure
•how to avoid sanctions being imposed against the client and against the lawyer for disclosure failures
The Electronic Evidence and E-Disclosure Handbook is a complete text and looks beyond UK jurisdictions. The author tackles issues which can arise when relevant data are stored in foreign jurisdictions, and also provides an understanding of the legal, practical and technical issues that can arise when transferring electronic data into and outside the England and Wales jurisdiction.
As Lord Justice Jackson remarked in his foreword to the Handbook: ''I anticipate that it will become the vade mecum for any lawyer conducting heavy civil litigation''.
