New Mexico State fall to Denver
DENVER (AP) — Royce O'Neale had 14 points, five rebounds and five assists to lead Denver to a 66-60 victory against New Mexico State on Saturday.
Brett Olson and Chris Udofia added 13 points each for the Pioneers (19-8, 14-2 Western Athletic), who won their eighth straight game and inched closer to clinching the No. 2 seed in the conference tournament.
Bandja Sy had 21 points and 11 rebounds and Sim Bhullar 17 points and four blocks for the Aggies (19-10, 12-4).
After O'Neale's two free throws gave Denver a 57-54 advantage with 1:22 remaining, Sy turned the ball over. At the other end, Chase Hallum drilled a 3-pointer for Denver.
Sy responded with a basket from behind the arc to make it 60-57 with 37 seconds left, but with New Mexico State forced to foul, the Pioneers protected the lead by going 6 for 6 from the free-throw line down the stretch.
Denver is two games in front of third-place New Mexico State in the WAC standings, with two conference games to play. The schools split their two meetings this season.

EDMONTON, Alberta – Dan Boyle's name continues to show up in reputable sources of NHL trade rumors and this morning he acknowledged there's no way you can not be aware of what's circulating out there – and his unhappiness about that.
"I've got friends texting me and emailing," Boyle said. "I do the best I can to keep it out, but I don't like hearing that stuff."
Later he added: "A lot of guys will say I don't listen to that stuff, but the truth is, it does find its way inside."
Boyle reportedly has a limited no-trade clause in his contract, one that gives him some control over where he might end up. And even though those rumors – the latest from Pierre LeBrun at ESPN suggests the New York Rangers are interested — show other teams may find Boyle an attractive add for a playoff push, he still doesn't like any of it.
"This is where I want to be," he said of the Sharks. "I don't want to be anywhere else. . . . it's not fun to hear it. The only other time my name was involved was five or six years ago (when he ended up coming to San Jose) so sometimes where there's smoke there's fire. I hope there's not in this case, but it's hard not to pay attention."
In truth, Boyle's name also came up during the off-season, linked again to the Rangers. That, of course, did not come to pass.
Without referring to Boyle specifically, this was Todd McLellan's answer to a question on what impact trade rumors might be having on his team at the moment.
"The people that are being talked about are very mature athletes that have been in the league for a long time and some of them have been moved and traded in the past," the coach said. "But when you come and you put the helmet on and the gloves on, tighten up the skates and go out there and play, you can leave all of that stuff behind and get out and perform. The better we perform, the better chances are of us having success and staying together. It's entirely up to them. I don't think we can use that speculation as an excuse for wins and losses at this point."
****The Oilers and Sharks enter tonight's game separated by a mere two points and have played the same number of games. But while San Jose has but one win in its last seven games, Edmonton is on a 3-0-1 roll.
Don't think that has gone unnoticed.
"They're a team that's similar to where we were a couple weeks ago," said Oiler captain Shawn Horcoff, whose return from an injury coincided with this current run. "They're a team that's trying to turn things around and make their own push. We're a team that's made that push and trying to sustain that."
The Oilers haven't forgotten that the Sharks ruined Edmonton's home opener with a six-goal first period, or that the Sharks won a shootout in San Jose as the final victory in that 7-0-0 start. Since then, though, things have changed.
****Look for the Sharks to make only one change in the lineup that dropped a 5-3 decision in Anaheim on Monday night as Michal Handzus did not take part in line rushes this morning and Andrew Desjardins did. Handzus took a hard hit from Ducks forward Matt Beleskey in the last game, but McLellan indicated that while Handzus was banged up, he was still OK. Handzus has struggled, but hasn't missed a game yet this season.
Here's how the lines looked at the skate: Marleau-Thornton-Burns, Pavelski-Couture-Havlat, Galiardi-Gomez-Wingels and Sheppard-Desjardins-Burish.
On defense, it looks as if Justin Braun will miss a second consecutive game as the pairings were Boyle-Irwin, Vlasic-Demers, Stuart-Murray. And Antti Niemi will be back in goal.
Injured forward Ryane Clowe skated after other players had left as he recovers from a shoulder injury. Tim Kennedy remains on IR with an upper body injury, but is on the trip while Thomas Greiss remains in San Jose.
****Marty Havlat's return to action after missing seven games earned praise from McLellan, who had cautioned that the talented forward needed to be able to adjust to the tight way the game is being played this season in the Western Conference.
"I thought Marty had an impact on the game," McLellan said. "He had the puck a lot, he shot it, he skated better than he had in the past so injury-wise he's overcome it. Now he needs to bring that every day.
Whiile noting that it was only one game, McLellan said Havlat "went to holes, he handled the puck well, the puck was on his tape longer than usual. He made some shooting attempts on net from prime scoring areas so, yes, he made strides."
Havlat said his first game since Feb. 28 "felt better than I thought I would feel. That was positive, but we lost the game."
"The legs, the game speed and the timing — those are the three most important things when you go back," he said, "But I've been there before. I know what to expect."
We'll make that the understatement of the day.
****Marc-Edouard Vlasic will be playing in his 500th game tonight, all of them with the Sharks who found a spot for him on their roster without any time in the minors after taking him 38th overall in the 2005 draft. Only Anze Kopitar of the Kings has more games (503) than Vlasic in that entire draft class.
"Hopefully there's 500 more to come," Vlasic, 25, said. "I love doing this."
And a reminder that the Sharks took Vlasic with the 2nd-round pick from Calgary received for goaltender Miikka Kiprusoff.

Spoiler alert: If you haven't watched Episode 18 of "Strike Back," spoilers ahead.
The actors in the military drama "Strike Back" may just be pretending to fight, fire weapons and kill enemies in various ways, but that doesn't mean they don't get hurt.
Take, for instance, Shane Taylor, who plays one of this season's bad guys, former soldier-turned-killer Craig Hanson. In the Sept. 28 episode, Hanson has a run-in with Damien Scott, played by series star Sullivan Stapleton. And, well, somebody got hurt. I'll let director Michael Bassett explain:
"There is a fight sequence ... which is so brutal Sully broke the actor's ribs," Bassett told me at San Diego Comic Con. "[It was] entirely by accident. There were all the fight coordinators around, so it's safe, it's safe, it's safe, but when you're really going for it as intensely as you can that's what happens."
According to Stapleton, Taylor's ribs may have been cracked before their fight scene, which you can see in the exclusive video above. "I didn't break his ribs," Stapleton says in the video, laughing. "He says I broke his ribs; I didn't break his ribs."
Stapleton claims Taylor mentioned he was feeling some rib pain before their fight, but he hadn't consulted with a doctor about it. He adds, "I was as gentle as I could be."
I you believe what Bassett says about Stapleton, you might doubt the actor. The director told me that all the cast members and guest stars go 100 percent when filming action sequences in an effort to make them as believable as possible. The actors do about 95 percent of the stunt work, according Philip Winchester, who plays Scott's partner Stonebridge. But when Stapleton fights, Bassett said, it's almost for real.
"When Sully fights he gives no quarter whatsoever. He fights like he means it and you can see it in his eyes," Bassett said. "For the actor he's fighting, that's tricky, but for me as a director it's absolutely wonderful. ... For me, I love it."
Taylor's character, Craig Hanson, apparently can handle as much pain as the actor. He's been shot, his face has been burned by steam and he's survived a car wreck. But with only two episodes left in the season, I have to think he's going to finally pay for murdering Stonebridge's wife. Winchester didn't take the bait when I fished for an answer during an earlier interview. But he did praise Taylor.
"Shane Taylor came in and he just smashed Hanson so hard," Winchester said. "He did such an amazing job at making him human. He made him likable and he made him a character that you just love to hate as well, but he just did such a good job of humanizing this sort of animal."
You'll have to watch the final two episodes to see what happens to Hanson, and how Taylor rebounded after those alleged cracked ribs. Cinemax debuts new episodes of "Strike Back" at 9 p.m. CT Fridays.
By the way: Shane Taylor, if Sully really did crack your ribs, he says he's sorry. (Call me, we'll clear this up.)

Up and coming Christian band headlines concert
PLAINVIEW - Casting Crowns, who have captivated Christian airwaves with their No. 1 hit "If We Are the Body," will headline a concert at Wayland Baptist University on Friday, March 26.
The concert, slated for 7:30 p.m. in Harral Auditorium, will also feature Jeff Deyo, the former lead singer for Sonicflood who is now in a solo career as a writer and singer of modern worship music.
Based in Atlanta, Casting Crowns released its self-titled debut album in September 2003 and quickly became the fastest-selling new artist in 2003. As of the end of February 2004, the album was in its seventh week on the Neilson's Top Christian Album chart. The band also held the No. 1 position on both Radio and Records and Christian Radio Weekly's contemporary hit radio and adult contemporary radio formats.
The band was also recently honored with four Dove Award nominations by the Gospel Music Association for New Artist of the Year, Pop/Contemporary Album of the Year, Pop/Contemporary Song of the Year for "If We Are The Body" and Song of the Year for writer and lead singer Mark Hall.
The group is lead by Hall, a youth minister who formed the group in Daytona, Fla. while serving a church there a few years back. When Hall's family moved to Atlanta, Ga. to take a church position there, the group moved with him and grew. Two independent CDs were released mostly in the Atlanta area and were well received, but the band didn't feel it was God's will at the time to begin soliciting record labels.
But God had a plan already working. A student in Daytona became acquainted with a familiar music face, Mark Miller, lead singer of Sawyer Brown, and put the Casting Crowns CD in his hand. Miller, yearning to do a project with friends Terry Hemmings of Provident Records and another talented musician, Steven Curtis Chapman, approached the pair and shared the music.
The result was a new imprint under Provident called Beach Street Records and the flagship artist for the new label would be Casting Crowns. Miller and Chapman produced the debut album in 2003 and singles from the project continue to captivate listeners across the country.
After several years as lead vocalist, songwriter and co-producer for Sonicflood, Deyo launched his debut solo album, titled "Saturate," in 2002, later earning a Dove Award nomination for New Artist of the Year. His single "More Love, More Power," reached No. 1 on Christian pop radio charts.
Considered a modern worship pioneer, Deyo continues to lead worship at conferences and concerts around the world, including YC2004, Canada's largest youth conference with an expected attendance of 16,000 students.
Tickets to the concert are $10 each, available at the Wayland bookstore, in Lubbock at Mardel and Family Christian Stores, and in Amarillo at Lifeway and Family stores.
The concert is being held in conjunction with Wayland's Big Weekend, the annual college preview event planned for March 26-27 for high school juniors, seniors and college transfers. For $20, participants get a taste of college life by staying in dorms, visiting classes, meeting current students and faculty and getting information about Wayland. The cost includes a concert ticket and meals for the weekend. For more information, call the Office of Admissions at 291-3500.

CANONSBURG, Pa. — Sidney Crosby is ready to give Broadway its latest revival act.
The Pittsburgh Penguins star plans to play on Thursday against the New York Rangers, his first game in more than three months following a second lengthy bout with concussion-like symptoms. The 24-year-old went through an arduous workout with his teammates on Tuesday and got bumped around enough that he feels prepared for the grind that awaits over the final month of the regular season and beyond.
"You're not going to get hit to the extent that you would in a game," Crosby said. "But you've got to test that as best you can."
The dizziness and headaches that have plagued Crosby since the symptoms resurfaced in early December have abated. Crosby believes he's in better shape now than he was during a brief comeback from a 10-month layoff last fall, when he collected 12 points in eight games before heading back to the injured reserve.
"I'm just trying to make sure I progressed and remain symptom free," he said. "Everything's gone really well."
His arrival further bolsters hockey's hottest team. The Penguins have won nine straight and closed to within striking distance of the Eastern Conference-leading Rangers. Pittsburgh has been the NHL's best team since mid-January and while coach Dan Bylsma is eager to have Crosby's No. 87 back on the ice, he's planning to ease his captain back into the rotation.
Crosby will play on the third line with Matt Cooke and Tyler Kennedy while being limited to about 15 minutes against the Rangers, though Bylsma will experiment putting Crosby with MVP candidate Evgeni Malkin and fellow center Jordan Staal when given an opportunity.
"It's a great step for him and our hockey team," Penguins general manager Ray Shero said. "He's been trying to get back for a while now and I've always said, 'he's a hockey player who wants to play the game of hockey.' I know our team's been looking forward to having him back in our lineup."
While Bylsma allows it's difficult to keep a player like Crosby on the bench, putting him on a line with the workmanlike Cooke and Kennedy should keep Crosby from piling up too much ice time too quickly. The coach pointed out Crosby played around 20 minutes in each of his first three games back during his previous return. That's not really an option with the Penguins playing three times in four days.
The Penguins are assured of a playoff spot and while Pittsburgh is eager to catch New York and assure themselves home ice through the playoffs, Bylsma also wants to use the next half-dozen games to experiment. That includes putting Crosby on the point during the power play and shifting him around to various spots.
"He'll need some games and I think that was a goal for him to come back this season and not in the second and third game of the playoffs," Shero said. "He wanted to come back as soon as he could to get into the swing of playing hockey games again and get ready for the playoffs."
If Pittsburgh gets injured defenseman Kris Letang back from a concussion on Thursday, it means the Penguins will be a full strength for just the second time this season. Crosby joked he doesn't want to talk about it, but the team's dressing room is burgeoning with optimism.
"We really like the feel we have here," forward James Neal said. "Especially if we're at full strength with Sid and (Letang)."
It will be hard for Crosby to top his previous return, when he scored twice and collected four points in a win over the New York Islanders on Nov. 21. Yet he's more relaxed this time around. He's become an expert on his condition and knowing what to expect has put him at ease.
"That first game was pretty overwhelming," Crosby said. "I'm going to try to pace myself a bit especially with the schedule. It's going to be (work) enough getting back into it."
The road has been tough enough already. Crosby's latest stint on injured reserve had him crisscrossing the continent trying to figure out why his symptoms returned. Tests revealed a previously undiagnosed soft tissue injury in the neck that mimics a concussion. He received an injection in late-January to help alleviate some of the problems and believes it produced the desired results.
"I saw some noticeable changes after that (treatment)," he said. "That part definitely feels better."
So did getting knocked around in practice. The Penguins worked for more than an hour on Tuesday, with Crosby right in the middle of it. He mixed it up during drills and bounced right back up following a not-so gentle nudge from defenseman Ben Lovejoy.
It's a good sign, though Crosby knows the hits will be much more violent when they're coming from guys in different colored jerseys, particularly this late in the season.
"The intensity and the importance of the games is a little bit higher," he said. "I'm sure there's going to be a feeling out process and see how things go."
Crosby was the best player in the world before taking head shots in consecutive games in January 2011 that forced him to sit out the rest of the 2010-11 season and the first six weeks of this season. Now, he may not even be the best player on his own team.
Malkin leads the league with 84 points and carried the team on his back in mid-January after a six-game slide threw the Penguins into disarray. The Russian is in the race for the Hart Trophy and his numbers this season are similar to Crosby's at his peak.
Considering the way last season ended — with Crosby and Malkin both sidelined by injuries and the Penguins losing to Tampa Bay in seven games in the opening round of the playoffs — Bylsma is only too happy to figure out how they work together over the coming months and see who really is the best player on the planet.
"I hope they fight it out for that title," he said with a laugh.

Yesterday the entire conservative blogosphere and Internet were abuzz with links to this page from WhiteHouse.gov, with the following alarming excerpt:
There is a lot of disinformation about health insurance reform out there, spanning from control of personal finances to end of life care. These rumors often travel just below the surface via chain emails or through casual conversation. Since we can't keep track of all of them here at the White House, we're asking for your help. If you get an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Yikes! (...and yes that "yikes" is the G-rated version of what I'm really thinking.) Encouraging Americans to report on each other for committing thoughtcrimes is pretty freaking scary if you ask me, the kind of thing that the Soviet Union did, or Nazi Germany, or the totalitarian government in Orwell's dystopian novel, Nineteen Eighty-Four.
Honest "liberals" should be outraged at this- as a chief aspect of their political platform and worldview is tolerance for disagreement and freedom of thought and expression. I want to hear some outraged Democrats speak up against this horrifying precedent (could our White House be dipping its toe into the waters of police statism as a test to see how Americans would react?).
Or could the White House just be that dumb? Could they just be using this as a means of gathering information so they can put together more lame, transparently deceptive rebuttals (like the video on the page I linked to above) of people's chain e-mails and blog websites? If that's the case, I've got a suggestion for Rahm Emmanuel:
It's called Google! USE IT! You can find out all you need to know about what people are saying through the power of the Internet, which is far more appropriate than asking Americans to report on each other's opinions to the government.
Patriots, I've got a suggestion for you too: Let's e-mail bomb email@example.com with the following message:
Mr. President,
Asking Americans to report on each other's behavior and opinions to the government is a startling precedent to say the least. This is not the kind of change we wanted or voted for in 2008. Your promises of hope, transparency, and open-mindedness will crumble into cynicism, secrecy, and unchallenged dogmatism if your administration continues these policies.
I believe that a public option will necessarily push out private competition because it will have the advantage of taxpayer subsidies, which will also mean higher taxes for hard-working Americans. Given your past statements, I also believe that you and the Democrats in Congress understand this and hope to ultimately fashion a single-payer system.
For Liberty,
(Your Name)
If this be thoughtcrime, make the most of it!

School Beyond the Walls
Authentic Learning
Global Reach
Jamestown's podcasts involve many aspects of a radio or television broadcast—writing, editing, oral presentation, technical work—allowing for contributions by students of very different learning styles.
"Students who don't normally come out as the as the strongest writers often become good producers or editors," said Ms. Gagliolo. A podcast project gives such students "the opportunity to communicate."
Jamestown fifth-grade teacher Rachel Lott has noted that the collaborative nature of the projects is helping to build a sense of self-sufficiency in her class. As each student learns from the others' skills, each begins to exercise his or her "multiple intelligences."
"It was amazing to see how empowered they got," she said. "They didn't need their teachers standing in front of them, prompting them on what to say and do."
Students from Jamestown Elementary in Arlington, Virginia, work in teams, interviewing each other on their impressions of the Smithsonian National Zoological Park in Washington, D.C.

Hi Robert_U!
Yes I have noticed that HD Graphics 4000/2500 do not support Windows Vista..... Thats why I posted my question!
My question was when drivers for Windows Visa will be released!! ??
Having a DH67CF board I did check the bios update wizzard and with board rev. 207 and bios 151 it was go to install 3rd genneration Intel Core.
Checking the DH67CF homepage for latest Vista graphics driver showed no warning that driver did not support HD Grapichis 4000/2500.
Checking on i7 processors downloadpage not a word about the difference between the 2nd and 3rd generatation on support of graphics, it just says that grapich driver version 188.8.131.5222 (188.8.131.5222) installs on Windows 7 and Windows Vista.
Nothing on wizzard page and nothing on moterboard page and nothing on processor page about supported operating systems......poor information!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Shame on You Intel!!!!!!!!!!!
3. Re: Intel® HD Graphics 4000/2500 Drivers for Vista?Robert_U May 15, 2012 12:28 PM (in response to Bfozz)
Hi Bfozz
We do have a supported operating system FAQ for the 3rd Generation Intel® Core™ Processors with Intel® HD Graphics 4000/2500 here.
I apologize if it was difficult to find. We will work to make it more visible.
4. Re: Intel® HD Graphics 4000/2500 Drivers for Vista?Bfozz May 17, 2012 9:58 AM (in response to Robert_U)
Hi Robert!
Yes that page was difficult to find.
If You have an Intel MoBo (I have a DH67CF) and You check compatible CPU's there shold be a warning about the operating system, because You have all the drivers on the MoBo page and don't go look around!!!
If You have a third party MoBo I could understand that You might miss it.
I just bought a Gigabyte MoBo with the Z68 chipset and the same there, Ivy Bridge compatible and the same graphic driver fo Vista if You had Ivy Bridge ord Sandy Bridge. This time I know about it and the MoBo was for a Sandy Bridge. (The old one from the DH67CF).
So You (Intel) cost me a couple of hundred greenbucks for a new Win 7. Dont't want to run the Ivy on XP, about 25% worse than Win 7.
PS: You just get all Your links correct!.DS

This is a support request.
Okay, so i got myself a IDE HD of 120 gb, and i hooked it up with my IDE cable, which is also linking my CDROM drive to my motherboard. Booted up the box, and went into BIOS settings, checked boot prio, confirmed it was CD>Flash>HD>Disabled and rebooted. It didn't really react to the disk in my CDROM drive (a winXP disc), but went on to boot the HD, which contains an old windows install that i don't have access to. So, i rebooted again, went into BIOS, and saw that it didn't detect no IDE Slave, only the Maxtor HD. I tried switching the order (linking the HD on the slave slot, and CDROM on the master slot, no difference. Then i removed the HD completely, and it booted the windows disk with no problems. As soon as i reconnect the HD it skips the CDdrive again.
I then went on to plug the harddisk into my other box alongside it's CDROM, this box is running a SATA primary HD, but this time it refused to detect the IDE HD.
I'm terrilbly confused. All i wanna do is format and install an XP on it, but i just can't get it to work at the same time as my CDROM drive.
As i can't get the box running, i'm not certain what's inside, i've got an Asus motherboard with "M2R-FVM/VP/S" written on it, there's power on everything (confirmed by drives working individually) and the IDE cable's golden aswell, worked perfectly on the old HD two days ago.
I have no idea what to do.

New York—The Interactive Advertising Bureau has introduced SafeFrame 1.0, a technical specification that allows advertisers to know when a digital ad is viewable. "The release of SafeFrame 1.0 will allow us to actually see if an ad is viewable, in most cases," said Sherrill Mane, IAB senior VP-research, analytics and measurement, in a statement. "This technical specification helps to resolve a major impediment in our ability to drive the interactive advertising industry towards a digital measurement paradigm that addresses needs of marketers, agencies and publishers in a cross-platform world." IAB is simultaneously releasing an open-source reference implementation of the SafeFrame 1.0 specification that will help companies adopt the new technology, reducing time to market and associated development costs.

The morning of Merck's annual analyst meeting dawned bright and crisp. At the podium inside the drug giant's Whitehouse Station, NJ, headquarters last December, CEO Richard Clark was beyond buoyant. "We executed every aspect of this launch flawlessly," he said about Gardasil, crowing most loudly about the speed with which the pioneering HPV vaccine made it onto state guidelines and won formulary coverage.
No less than its public health benefits, the rollout of what the media has dubbed "the first cancer vaccine" has cast a halo over Merck, which was badly bruised by the recent fallout from its Vioxx withdrawal and ensuing litigation. But Gardasil is Merck at its best. A 2005 corporate-image campaign put it well: Merck is the company that made diseases like polio, mumps, and measles anachronistic to generations of children. And now, the only company ever to be named "Most Admired" by Fortune seven years in a row is poised to do the same with cervical cancer.A great brand is more than just great branding. A great pharmaceutical brand tells a story—about fulfilling a lifesaving need, overcoming obstacles both scientific and social, and teaching people a health lesson that lasts.
Pharmaceutical Executive selected Gardasil as the 2006 Brand of the Year, our first, because it embodies the kind of links between science, commercialization, and humanity that typify great pharmaceutical breakthroughs. It turned a medical success story into a campaign of empowerment for a generation of girls and young women. Merck's researchers used visionary science to produce a vaccine with the potential to eradicate the third-most-common cause of cancer worldwide, while marketers taught girls and young women how to talk about sensitive issues in a forthright, unapologetic way.
Gardasil is also a vaccine that broke the mold, creating a host of logistical and policy challenges that it then had to go about solving before women showed up in their doctors' waiting rooms. It made a market out of thin air, advancing the first hope of preventing an infection that strikes as many as one-quarter of women in some nations and kills an estimated 232,000 every year.
But hope or not, there were aspects of Gardasil that kept it from being immediately embraced, which might have overwhelmed a less determined company. For starters, there was a staggering ignorance about the virus that Gardasil targets. Secondly, the vaccine has to be given to a population group that spans the spectrum in terms of where they receive primary care, at a time in their lives—puberty—when many shy away from regular check-ups. Finally, and most formidably, there was the issue of teen sex: Merck has had to negotiate a minefield of sensitivities related to the fact that because the human papillomavirus (HPV) is primarily transmitted through sexual contact, girls and young women ideally need to get the vaccine while they are still virgins.

Man Defaces Rothko Painting; Defends Himself By Claiming He Improved It
from the a-pattern? dept
"I believe that if someone restores the [Rothko] piece and removes my signature the value of the piece would be lower but after a few years the value will go higher because of what I did," he said, comparing himself to Marcel Duchamp, the French artist who shocked the art establishment when he signed a urinal and put it on display in 1917.He basically signed his name to the photo and added "a potential piece of yellowism" which appears to be some sort of inane attempt at creating an art movement that nobody knows about.
"I was expecting that the security at Tate Modern would take me straight away, because I was there and I signed the picture in front of a lot of people. There is video and cameras and everything, so I was shocked."
"I didn't destroy the picture. I did not steal anything. There was a lot of stuff like this before. Marcel Duchamp signed things that were not made by him, or even Damien Hirst."

Amazon Wireless is running a deal for you Sprint customers looking for an upgrade. All of Sprint's Android phones are on sale at Amazon for $0.01 with a new two-year agreement. Sure, you won't be able to get your hands on the Galaxy Nexus or LG Viper LTE devices, but you can get your hands on the likes of the Epic 4G Touch on the cheap.
While we can't say it's a good time to be in the market for a Sprint device before this Sunday, if you've been holding out for one of Sprint's current devices, you can't beat a penny. The deal runs through April 30th, so hopefully we'll see them sneak in the Galaxy Nexus and LG Viper.

MPD Endurance Club Raises $10,000 for Rare Cancer Cure
October 16th, 2012 by milwaukeepolice
A big check will make a big difference to the Medical College of Wisconsin where they are researching the cure for a disease that affects litterally one in a million.
Milwaukee Police Sgt. Sebastian Raclaw is that one – and he is raising money for a cure. Hundreds showed up Saturday, September 29, 2012 for a run that took big steps to conducting research into the causes of abdominal cancer. At the end of the day, $10,000 was raised to help in the fight. Sebastian, joined by his medical team and Milwaukee Police Chief Edward A. Flynn presented the check on behalf of the Milwaukee Police endurance Club to the Medical College of Wisconsin physicians on Monday, October 15, 2012.
The run was a benefit to raise money for the the Sebastian Raclaw Abdominal Cancer Research Fund. The goal is to discover a cure within Sebastian's lifetime. Sebastian, a Milwaukee Police Sergeant, was diagnosed with Pseudomyxoma-Peritonea or Stage 4 cancer of the abdominal cavity. Sebastian is 35 years old and has 16 years with the Milwaukee Police Department. He is married to Angela Castillo-Raclaw, an elmentary school teacher, and has two beautiful children, Noah who is 21 months old and Isabella who is 4 years old.
Sebastian has chosen not to accept direct financial support, but has created a research foundation through the Medical College of Wisconsin. The two doctors treating Sebastian at the Medical College of Wisconsin have agreed to limit all funds received to the following:- researching therapies for this type of rare cancer- study novel chemo therapies with micro particles- perform clinical trials with new therapies- create a regional symposium to facilitate collaboration with the leading experts in this rare and incurable cancer that affects one person in a million.
See Sebastian's Website here where you can learn more about this devastating disease and the search for a cure:
Take a look at some of the great photos from the run here:

Apple has scored a potentially key victory in the Great Patent Race of 2011. The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has granted Apple a patent on the "Slide to Unlock" functionality that was made popular with the introduction of the iPhone and is now found in many Android devices. The details on the patent are as follows (you can also find an image in the gallery):
A device with a touch-sensitive display may be unlocked via gestures performed on the touch-sensitive display. The device is unlocked if contact with the display corresponds to a predefined gesture for unlocking the device. The device displays one or more unlock images with respect to which the predefined gesture is to be performed in order to unlock the device. The performance of the predefined gesture with respect to the unlock image may include moving the unlock image to a predefined location and/or moving the unlock image along a predefined path. The device may also display visual cues of the predefined gesture on the touch screen to remind a user of the gesture. In addition, there is a need for sensory feedback to the user regarding progress towards satisfaction of a user input condition that is required for the transition to occur.Apple Slide to Unlock Patentvia USPTO
The language in the patent is vague enough that it could apply to all Android phones on the market today, and even potentially the lockscreen in the unreleased Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. The patent appears to cover all pre-defined gestures that serve to unlock your device, as well as the use of unlock imagery as a means of helping a user unlock their device. It appears, for now, that every Android manufacturer out is potentially infringing on Apple's patent.
It's still unclear at this time exactly what this news will mean for Android devices. We will likely learn more over the next few weeks and months as manufacturers develop courses of action. One thing's for sure though; Apple's legal department is certainly grinning from ear to ear, plotting their next series of patent infringement lawsuits against Android manufacturers. Could this be what Steve meant when he said that he wanted to destroy Android?
What do you guys think? Are you worried about Apple's shiny new patent? Does Google need to significantly change their lockscreen concept to become compliant with the new patent and avoid costly lawsuits? Sound off below.

LibGuides: Collaborative Aspects
Are we really using LibGuides to their greatest "2.0" capabilities? Easy to use boxes can be added that allow for not only user ratings of links, but interactive polls, feedback boxes, and, most interesting and least used (as far as I can tell) user link submissions.
Some libraries use these boxes, but how can we get kids to participate?
Our 7th graders research the people and cultures of Middle Eastern countries in order to write a first person creative piece. Over the past few years we have built a Google Custom Search Engine for this project (I wrote about it before), and put it on the LibGuide.
I ask the students to participate in this endeavor by submitting links to the LibGuide for their friends to use. This has been relatively successful, and by that I mean maybe eight kids have submitted links this year so far. I might ask the teachers to make submitting links mandatory next year, to help us build a good database in the Google Custom Search Engine, but also to show the kids that we want to collaborate, that they often find great sites to use for research, and that their research is worth sharing.
When the students submit links, they are asked for their name and email as well as the title of the link and the url. I tell kids to only put their first name (privacy), and that the email address doesn't get posted. Then I receive an email telling me I can preview the link before I either reject or post it. This is helpful, so kids take it seriously and really only post worthy sites. It also lets me look at the sites they are finding so I can potentially help them if I see they are somewhere they might not really want to be. After I post the link, at a later date, I add the link to our custom search engine, to be used by others in later years.
On other LibGuides, we ask the kids how they like the LibGuide, or which database is most useful via polls, but the voting is minimal.
I poked around a bit in LibGuides and I found that Juliet Kerico, librarian at Southern Illinois University's LoveJoy Library, has had some success with this type of collaboration with students.
Have you had any interesting collaboration experiences with students using these features? If so, how did you entice students to vote and participate?

Hi Elisabeth,ReplyDelete
Slaven Zivkovic, from Springshare (LibGuides), here. Thanks for the kudos about our system. I wanted to let you know that we are a few weeks away from announcing a major new feature in LibGuides which will help with your collaboration efforts.
Namely, we will announce a new, special account level in LibGuides - appropriately named "Collaborator". It will allow any guide owner to invite anybody (students, faculty, librarians at other institutions, etc.) to collaborate on creating guides - you will just enter the email address of the persons you want to collaborate with on your guide and they will receive a special password, valid for this guide only, which will enable them to edit the contents of the guide.
We're pretty excited about this new feature, I hope you will be too. It should be released in the next few weeks.
-Slaven Zivkovic
That sounds great! Our lower school librarian gave the science teacher administrator rights so he could make guides for his course. Your new Collaborator account sounds like that would be even easier. Thanks for letting us know!ReplyDelete
This sounds really amazing! It's not something we're doing, but thanks for the great idea, Elisabeth!ReplyDelete

I have had most success with grade 5 & 6 students, who, it seems, will comment on just about anything... I make a point of mentioning that comments can be left (and I do read them!) each time I have a class in, and a few grade 8s will comment now and then. I do like the sound of the collaborator that Slaven is talking about above...ReplyDelete
Hi Claire - I just found out our lower school librarian also has a couple of kids who always participate in the LibGuide polls and comments.I love it! Maybe the teenagers are harder to reel in?ReplyDelete
Well, "participate" might be stretching it a little. But some of the 4th graders left comments on this guide: http://bwswest.libguides.com/blackhistory I'm glad that they are using them, and feel comfortable enough to post, no matter how silly!ReplyDelete

We had our entire 9th grade (6 classes) create renewable energy Libguides. Within each class teams concentrated on a subtopic (tab). The kids had a blast and curated a nice batch of resources. Our teacher had kids create test questions for their "tab" so the kids created the content and the test. See Seattle Academy in the LibGuides Community site.ReplyDelete
What a great idea! I love how you included the students on LibGuide content/curation.ReplyDelete

Meghan Waldron has probably been asked about her teams injuries about 1,000 times this season.
It was hard to avoid that theme Tuesday.
And once again, Waldron and Wheaton Warrenville South won a game of attrition.
With both teams missing two injured starters, the No. 4 Tigers built a 14-point lead on Fenwick through three quarters, then held on for a 65-63 win in Wheaton.
WW South (22-3) lost Sierra Bisso to a torn ACL last Thursday, joining Maggie Dansdill on the shelf.
The Tigers just keep winning.
The whole year we keep talking about injuries, but we still have girls who can play, said Waldron, who scored 22 points with 7 rebounds, 7 assists and 4 steals. Melinda (Franke), Olivia (Linebarger), Allie (Zappia), theyve been with us all year and they deserve attention. We want to win for Maggie and Sierra.
The Tigers are used to playing short-handed, but seeing their opponent do the same is new. Fenwick (20-4) was without standout junior point guard Jade Owens (knee tendinitis) and sophomore guard Jennifer Mackowiak.
That changed things up a little bit, admitted WW Souths Diamond Thompson. It was like we had talked about (Owens) all week, watched film, why isnt she playing?
The Friars, as reliant on the 3-point shot as any team around, made just 5 of 23 through three quarters and trailed 52-38 heading into the fourth. Then they got hot. Fenwick made four 3s in the fourth quarter, a 3 from freshman Deja Cage pulling the Friars within 63-62.
After Waldron split a pair of free throws with 7.9 seconds left, Cage missed a long 3, and Eva Brundage missed a contested shot in front of the basket as time expired.
I thought we made a great comeback, said Fenwick coach Dave Power. Its a little discombobulated when you take two kids out.
We started off really well and then I think we got a little tired, Waldron said. They run like no team Ive ever played against.
Waldron got a big assist from Thompson.
Playing against a Fenwick team whose tallest starter is 5-foot-10, the 6-4 Thompson scored a personal-high 25 points to go with 8 rebounds. Most of those points came on layups, after Waldron and Co. had broken Fenwicks pressure. Thompsons three-point play with 46.8 seconds left momentarily stemmed Fenwicks comeback.
We knew they were height-challenged, so they tried to feed me the ball, said the Notre-Dame bound Thompson. We all had to step up. We had another girl (Bisso) just go down.
You get a team that runs and shoots a lot of 3s, its not a great matchup for Diamond, WW South coach Rob Kroehnke said. She had to work really hard to get up and down the floor so much. If youre going to pressure us, were just going to put her on the block.
WW South never trailed, scoring the games first 8 points. Waldrons floater got the lead to double figures at 16-6, it was 20-11 after a quarter and 36-28 by halftime.
Linebarger scored 11 points and Franke grabbed 10 rebounds for WW South. Maya Garland scored 14 points, MacKenzie Sewall 13 and Cage 11 for Fenwick.
This is why we play Fenwick at this time of year, Kroehnke said. I told the girls before the game this is a game we just need to go out and play. It can only help us, win or lose. For them to go out and fight the way they did, it was fun.

Could US leaders want global warming to happen?
(Image by ThisCantBeHappening) Permission Details DMCA
What if the leaders of the United States -- and by leaders I mean the generals in the Pentagon, the corporate executives of the country's largest enterprises, and the top officials in government -- have secretly concluded that while world-wide climate change is indeed going to be catastrophic, the US, or more broadly speaking, North America, is fortuitously situated to come out on top in the resulting global struggle for survival?
I'm not by nature a conspiracy theorist, but this horrifying thought came to me yesterday as I batted away yet another round of ignorant rants from people who insist against all logic that climate change is a gigantic fraud being perpetrated, variously, by the oil companies (who allegedly want to benefit from carbon credit trading), the scientific community (which allegedly is collectively selling out and participating in some world-wide system of omerta in order to get grants), or the world socialist conspiracy (which of course, is trying to destroy capitalism).
What prompted me to this speculation about an American conspiracy of inaction was the seemingly incomprehensible failure of the US -- in the face of overwhelming evidence that the Earth is heating up at an accelerating rate, and that we are in danger of soon reaching a point of no return where the process feeds itself -- to do anything to reduce either this country's annual production of more atmospheric CO2, or to promote some broader international agreement to slow the production of greenhouse gases.
It seems insane that this nation's leaders, corporate and political, would even now still be deliberately refusing to take action to protect the Earth, which of course they and their children and grandchildren will also have to live on, and yet almost to a one they are on the side of the deniers or the delayers. The business leaders for example overwhelmingly provided campaign funding to the Republicans -- a party that makes jokes about global warming and openly urges more burning of coal.
Okay, a lot of Republicans are wacky believers in a 6000-year-old world where Adam and Eve hunted dinosaurs and god talked to Moses. But it seems equally or even more insane that people who clearly know better, like President Barack Obama, or most of the Democratic Party leadership in Congress, would resist even minimal efforts to limit greenhouse gas emissions, and would directly work to undermine international efforts at reaching a rigorous treaty on global reduction of carbon emissions...

Q: My SAN admin wants to put my transaction logs on FAST storage. Should we?
A: No...
Oh, you wanted more information than that? Okay, here goes.
SQL Server transaction logs are effectively cyclical files where SQL Server writes the transaction log file from the top to the bottom which lots of sequential writes. The big benefit of FAST is that the storage array will take the blogs which are accessed the most and moves them to the fastest storage, which is typically flash drives. Flash drives are awful when dealing with sequential writes.
Related: Should I be using table partitioning or auto tiering features of my storage array?
Another problem is that because the transaction logs are cyclical we don't really have a hot spot on the log file, we write to all parts of the file evenly so there aren't going to be any hot spots. The storage array will simply take all the blocks and move them to the fastest storage available.
Now if you have a transaction log for a database which isn't all that busy you might think that FAST might be okay, but I'd still say that FAST isn't a good place for the transaction log. This is because when the blocks which hold the transaction log aren't being used they'll be moved to SATA storage. Then when they are needed they'll be sitting on cheap, slow SATA storage and won't perform very well.
After all, this I would say to put the transaction logs on a more traditional RAID 10 made up of fiber channel disks and let it be.

SQL Server Profiler is a well known tool for tracing different activity that happens between your server and the clients connected to it.
But very few people know that you can have custom events and trace them in the SQL Server Profiler. They can be found under User configurable event group:
We can have up to 10 custom events.
Firing these custom events is done by executing sp_trace_generateevent stored procedure which takes event id as the first input parameter. These event ID's span from 82 (UserConfigurable:0) to 91 (UserConfigurable:9)
A simple code example to demonstrate this:
USE AdventureWorks
CREATE PROCEDURE spDoStuff
@AddressID int
UPDATE Person.Address
SET ModifiedDate = GETDATE()
WHERE AddressID = @AddressID
DECLARE @msg NVARCHAR(128)
SELECT @msg = N'No data updated. Rowcount 0. AddressId = ' + CAST(@AddressID AS NVARCHAR(10))
EXEC sp_trace_generateevent 82, @msg
SELECT * FROM Person.Address WHERE AddressID = @AddressID
EXEC spDoStuff 1
-- this id doesn't exist. trace event is executed as shown in the below picture
EXEC spDoStuff -22
DROP PROCEDURE spDoStuff
The UserConfigurable:0 event was successfully fired as is shown in the profiler trace.
These custom events are highly underused and there isn't even much talk about them at all. That is a shame because they can be a very helpful addition to your debugging or general execution tracing. By using them you can easily narrow the profiler trace and with that the load on the server over long periods of time making them ideal for finding seldom occurring problems in production environment.
There is one downside to them though. Running sp_trace_generateevent requires ALTER TRACE permissions to run. Most likely the user running the stored procedure doesn't have that permission. Unless you're running under SA of course :)
A workaround for this is to putting it simply create a wrapper stored procedure around the sp_trace_generateevent stored procedure, sign the wrapper with a certificate and allow public access to it.

WELLESLEY, Mass. – Molly Duffy (New Providence, N.J.) netted her team-leading 18th goal of the year but it was not enough, as MIT dropped a 2-1 overtime decision to Wellesley College in New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) field hockey action Tuesday afternoon. Allison Robbins (Bennington, Vt.) netted the game winner for the Blue just under seven minutes into the extra session to snap the Engineers' season-high seven game winning streak.
With the loss, the Cardinal and Gray now stands at 5-2 in the NEWMAC, with one league game left to play, and 13-3 overall. Wellesley moves to 8-7 and is 4-2 in the conference.
Duffy put the visitors on board early on after the Engineers were awarded a penalty corner just over 10 minutes into the contest. Anna Teruya's (Hockessin, Del.) initial attempt was blocked, but Kimberly Barker (Camden, N.Y.) gathered the loose ball and found Duffy who converted the second-chance opportunity.
Tech would maintain its one-goal advantage into halftime, outshooting the Blue 8-2 in the frame.
Wellesley's equalizer would come midway through the second stanza, as Alex Azzi (Rye, N.H.) deflected Emily Lewis' (Weston, Conn.) shot from the top of the circle during one of Wellesley's three second-half corners.
The Engineers had a number of chances to regain the lead late, testing Wellesley goalkeeper Brit Mscisz () with four shots on goal over a 4:55 stretch at the end of regulation and beginning of overtime. The sophomore turned away all four attempts as part of her nine stops on the afternoon.
Jenna Klein (Parma, Ohio) made four saves for Tech while playing the second half and overtime in relief of Casey Landry (Peabody, Mass.).
MIT is off until next Wednesday, October 26, traveling to the University of New England for a 6:00 p.m. non-conference matchup, before closing NEWMAC play at Babson on October 29.

COMMERCE CITY, Colo. - Danny Mwanga's equalizing goal in the 66th minute salvaged a crucial road point and condemned the Colorado Rapids to another frustrating draw in a 1-1 deadlock on Saturday night at Dick's Sporting Goods Park.
The second-half substitute Mwanga shot from just outside the penalty area from an assist by Sebastien Le Toux and, although Colorado goalkeeper Matt Pickens got his hands on the shot, he couldn't steer it clear of the corner of the net. The Union (6-3-3) held onto the top spot in the Eastern Conference with the draw, extending their unbeaten steak to three games in the process.
The goal came just three minutes after Colorado took the lead through a penalty kick by Conor Casey. Casey scored his second of the season with a deft lob that wrong footed Faryd Mondragón in the Union goal after Pablo Mastroeni was taken down by Union defender Danny Califf in the box.
The draw was the sixth in a row for Colorado (4-3-7), setting a new MLS record.
Philadelphia arguably looked the stronger of the two sides in the opening exchanges with midfielder Justin Mapp looking particularly dangerous. It was his good play in the 11th minute that led to a well taken free kick by Kyle Nakazawa which Pickens did well to save.
Mapp's substitution in the 25th minute, along with a strong header from Andre Akpan a few minutes earlier, appeared to spark the Rapids a little, and they enjoyed the bulk of possession and chances for the rest of the first half.
Colorado defender Drew Moor, who also had an excellent headed chance late on, went very close with a header in the 39th minute after Casey did well to retrieve a ball that appeared to be going out. A few minutes later, Akpan had another strong header but it was just too high. Casey also went close with a late first half header from a cross by Anthony Wallace that was slightly too high for the big striker.
Perhaps the best chance in the whole game, however, fell to Union substitute Keon Daniel, who had a clear sighting of goal close in in the 53rd minute after a very well put together string of passes by Philadelphia. Daniel could only sky over from just a few yards out.

Q&A with Gavin King on the Impact of JSR-299 and Weld 1.0 on Java EE and JBoss
- Share
- |
Read later
Reading List
Red Hat's JBoss division has shipped Weld 1.0.0, Java EE 6's reference implementation for JSR-299: Contexts and Dependency Injection for Java EE (hereafter CDI). Weld is the implementation used in Sun's GlassFish Application Server version 3 and the upcoming JBoss AS 5.2.0. It does not need a full application server however. Weld can be run in a servlet container such as Jetty 6.1 or Tomcat 6, and also works with Java SE 5.0 and above. To demonstrate the latter, the Weld distribution comes with an example console application and an example Swing application.
Since a draft of JSR-299 was first submitted, Google and SpringSource submitted JSR-330 with the aim of standardising "a proven, non-controversial set of annotations that make injectable classes portable across frameworks", so when I caught up with CDI specification lead Gavin King I began by asking him what impact JSR-330 had on CDI.
CDI now uses the annotations defined by JSR-330 to declare injection points. This had a very minimal impact, since the model used in 330 is essentially identical to what 299 had already defined. It boiled down, more or less, to a change in annotation names.
Remember that 330 does not define a full dependency injection solution. It defines just enough to let you declare an injection point, with qualifiers, and then leaves the rest undefined.
InfoQ: How do CDI and EJB work with the Managed Bean model introduced in EE 6?
The new Managed Beans specification was the result of work we did in JSR-299 (what we were calling "simple Web Beans" in earlier drafts of the specification). Simple Web Beans supported dependency injection, EL names and interceptors, but did not have the programming restrictions or full capabilities of EJBs.
There was plenty of controversy as a result of this, with Red Hat arguing that we absolutely needed to be able to support injection of plain Java classes, and other EE stakeholders making clear that they were not comfortable with 299 defining a new kind of EE "component".
After much discussion, we arrived at a solution whereby this idea of a "simple" component would be removed to its own specification, forming the foundation of all other EE component programming models, including EJB, etc. That's a great vision, which we're all very happy with, though it is still not quite fully realized in EE 6.
The end result is: CDI can work with plain Java classes, now called "managed beans", or with EJBs. And EJBs are now considered just a special kind of managed bean, with some additional programming restrictions and some additional capabilities. It's a graduated programming model that makes EE significantly simpler to digest for new users.
InfoQ: Does EJB still need its own component model?
I think the direction for the EE platform is to gradually generalize the capabilities that are currently defined only for EJBs, and have them apply to all managed beans. For example, there's no reason why @TransactionAttribute and @RolesAllowed shouldn't be supported for all managed beans.
However, EJB will still have a place in defining endpoints for message delivery, remote and asynchronous method invocation, timers, etc. In these cases, the EJB lifecycle model makes plenty of sense.
InfoQ: Seam has provided inspiration to JSF 2 as well as CDI. What advantage does fixing the problems in JSF itself have over addressing them in Seam?
Well, as hard as we tried to make the user experience utterly transparent, we were never quite satisfied. Our users were always aware when they were using a feature of JSF, and when they were using a feature of Seam that should have been in JSF.
CDI grew out of Red Hat's experience with the open source Seam framework, and in broad terms standardises Seam's programming model as the programming model for Java EE 6. CDI serves three major purposes in Java EE 6. First it provides a declarative way to manage the scope, state and life-cycle of components bound to contexts. Second it provides a standardised, annotation-driven, type-safe dependency injection framework for the platform similar in approach to Google's Guice. Thirdly it provides a Service Provider Interface (SPI) for developing portable extensions for the Java EE platform.
CDI's Service Provider Interface has become a key part of Java EE's extensibility, a central aim of Java EE 6. The JSR-316 specification states:
...we believe it is desirable to enable more of these technologies to cleanly layer on or plug in to Java EE application servers. By adding more extensibility points and more service provider interfaces, these other technologies can plug in to platform implementations cleanly and efficiently, and be just as easy to use for developers as the facilities that are built into the platform.
An example of this in action can be found in the next release of Seam, version 3, which uses CDI as its core engine and then uses the CDI Service Provider Interface to offer a number of additional features not found in CDI such as BPM integration, Drools integration, support for PDF and email templates, Excel generation, and so on. These extensions (and potentially others built by third party vendors) can be run in any environment which supports JSR-299 including any Java EE 6 environment. According to the CDI spec:
A portable extension may integrate with the container by:
• Providing its own beans, interceptors and decorators to the container
• Injecting dependencies into its own objects using the dependency injection service
• Providing a context implementation for a custom scope
• Augmenting or overriding the annotation-based metadata with metadata from some other source
Gavin King told InfoQ:
The advent of CDI and JSF2 represents a new direction for Seam.
In Seam2, we wasted a huge amount of energy papering over the cracks in JSF, and the result was that we just didn't have time to work on integration with the full range of presentation technologies that interest us. JSF2 lets us focus our energies in other areas.
Most importantly, CDI now provides a core "engine" which is portable between all EE 6 application servers and is even available for Tomcat, Jetty and Resin. This core has no dependency to any particular presentation technology. What it has instead is a well-defined SPI for portable extension developers. This SPI serves as the foundation for an ecosystem. If you're a framework developer, you now know exactly what you need to do to integrate your framework with CDI and, by extension, with the EE environment. This is perhaps the most exciting feature of CDI.
So, Seam3 is going to be a set of CDI portable extensions, that work on any application server, and provide extensions to the programming model of CDI, and integration with other technologies that interest us.
Mark Little, CTO for JBoss, has stated that CDI and Seam are the future for all of their projects and platforms:
The team are already working closely with those projects and platforms, such as ESB and SOA-P, to ensure that new versions of Seam take into account their unique requirements. Importantly though, some of those projects had already decided that Seam was right for them even without any modifications to it, so it's likely you will see closer and quicker integration than some thought possible.
And King confirmed this, adding:
Seam has already been used successfully by quite a few projects at Red Hat. CDI puts the core functionality of Seam on a much more solid foundation, and our implementation of CDI, Weld, is a much more focused and much better tested piece of infrastructure. This means that we can start to use Weld for all kinds of things where Seam2 simply would not have been appropriate. Things that have nothing to do with building websites.
This is equally true outside of Red Hat and a number of other implementations of CDI are also springing up. Resin maker Caucho Technology have an implementation (CanDI) and the Resin container itself makes extensive use of CDI internally. Apache too are working on an implementation called OpenWebBeans, and Granite DS has an implementation allowing CDI to be used with Flex applications, writing:
Our feeling is that JCDI is a perfect fit for Flex RIAs with an event-driven architecture. JCDI applications look extremely clean and even [though] JBoss Seam provides a lot more features, they do not necessarily make sense with a RIA front-end.

Missed Opportunity

Re: Missed Opportunity
Gavin King
On the other hand, there was a lot to be gained by improving the standard option that already existed as part of the platform. There are a lot of JSF shops out there, and they are all going to get a great boost out of JSF2.
And let's not forget that there are a significant number of people out there who are fans of JSF (including me, with several reservations). I've tried most of the leading Java web frameworks, and honestly, they are all very far from perfect. JSF has an overall architecture that I'm very comfortable with, so I've been willing to overlook some of the flaws. I personally do not want to go back to an action-oriented framework like struts2 or stripes. (Perhaps I am in the minority, but that's how I feel.)
Now, JSF2 is the real test. We've done most of what we realistically can to "fix" it. If that's not enough, then I'm prepared to throw in the towel on JSF and put our energy into a competitor like Wicket. But I do believe that 2.0 is a big improvement, especially when you are using it with CDI. There's no piece of JSF which has not been totally refreshed in 2.0:
- model - CDI, which changes everything ;-)
- view - facelets, which is awesome, is now baked in
- controller - critical enhancements to navigation and lifecycle for GET requests
- component development - huge improvements, including the great composite components stuff
OTOH, we're also hedging our bets a little. CDI is going to be a great option no matter what web framework you choose to use. So that's a significant change of strategy. (But it's not in any way a repudiation of JSF.)
Re: Missed Opportunity
William Smith
JBoss should have taken the opportunity to build a great web framework and push that as a standard, instead of supporting the existing broken JSF technology.
Use YAB_WF (Yet Another Blinking Web Framework).
But seriously.
The last thing Java needs is yet another web framework. Sruts2, JSF, Spring MVC, Wicket, Stripes, Tapestry, RIFE, GWT, OpenXava, Echo… How many frameworks do you need?
JSF2 actually looks pretty decent. Take a look then maybe you can persuade your current project lead to adopt it in place of JSF1. It'll be easier to convince them to do that then drop everything in favour of insert framework here
Re: Missed Opportunity
Paul Mooney
I wish I could just be using a simple mvc framework like stripes or spring mvc combined with an excellent javascript library like jquery.
I could never go back to an action/mvc2 framework. They simply don't promote DRY programming, and become too difficult to manage page state and navigation as you add more and more capabilities to a page. As well, keeping the state of the page and any processing on the server instead of on the client (using javascript) is more secure and IMHO less error prone.
Javascript should just be hidden away at the component level never to be seen on the page template. I'm probably the only person who thinks that.
I work with JSF+Seam everyday, and that combination is definitely not broken. So there's no reason to think JSF 2 will be if it's incorporating all of the Seam JSF features. Of course there are still some issues I have with JSF 2, like its restrictive navigation model (still beats an action framework though), and it still seems difficult to create a real (as opposed to composite/compound) component when compared to a framework like Wicket, or an RIA.

Totally! You made the point much better than me.
Re: Missed Opportunity

I'm probably the only person who thinks that.
You're definitely not the only one. Can you imagine trying to refactor views built with handwritten JavaScript?
I work with JSF+Seam everyday, and that combination is definitely not broken. So there's no reason to think JSF 2 will be if it's incorporating all of the Seam JSF features.
Trust me, JSF2 and CDI are a much, much better combination :-) And when Seam3 is ready... well, just wait and see :-)

JBoss 4.2.x
Seam 2.x
Facelets 1.x
Richfaces 3.x
And we decided to upgrade to JBoss 5.x. And we then decide to drop in JSF 2.0 RI (or if it's already included with the app server like it is in JBoss 4.x, then start using new tags, features, etc. in JSF 2). Is this possible and then slowly migrate to CDI/Weld or Seam3 in the future?
Is JSF 2.0 compatible with Seam 2.x and/or RichFaces 3.x? I'm thinking of the phased approach to upgrading the project.
btw, how come nobody talks about Tapestry, but mostly Flex, JSF and Wicket? Tapestry is a mature component-based MVC framework with a decent-sized following...

My understanding is that there are currently some minor issues with JSF2 and RichFaces, but they will be resolved soon. But it would be better to ask the RichFaces folks, since I'm sure they have a much better idea of the timeline.

Re: Missed Opportunity
Arbi Sookazian
thanks for the link and good luck with your project. It would be nice to have the option of an action framework on top of seam or jsr-299. Put a wrapper around it similar to grails and you would have a awesome stack.
"I wanted to get away from the awful 'front controller' pattern, where some big stupid stateless method is responsible for coordinating everything involved in processing the event, from state retrieval and storage, to service location, to orchestration."
GKing is not a fan of Struts (ActionServlet) or SpringMVC (DispatcherServlet) or most likely any other front controller-based web framework.

Maiden soccer coach steps down
Dennis Ly has stepped down as the head coach of Maiden High School's boys and girls soccer teams.
Ly, a 1992 Maiden graduate, said he made the move because of "personal reasons."
"It was in the best interest of the kids that I chose a different profession," Ly said in a phone conversation Thursday.
Butch Parker, Maiden's assistant athletic director, called the move a "personnel decision." Parker confirmed Ly is no longer employed by the school system.
Ly also served as Maiden's head JV boys basketball coach and as an in-school suspension coordinator.
He coached the Maiden soccer programs for three years. The boys program saw steady improvement, going from 2-14 his first season in 2009 to 3-5-1 so far this season.
His largest improvement came with the girls' team, which went from 0-18 his first year to 11-10-1 last season.
Ly's overall soccer coaching record at Maiden was 24-74-5.
In the interim, Tye Ardrey and Mike Oliver are handling the coaching duties for the boys soccer program, which is currently 3-7-1 overall and 2-4-0 in CVAC play.
Parker said that a search has started for a girls soccer coach for the upcoming spring season.
Neither Maiden Principal Dwayne Finger nor Catawba County Schools Superintendent Glenn Barger could be reached for this story.

Some 150,000 different kinds of flies (Order Diptera, Class Insecta, Phylum Arthropoda) are now known and estimates are that there may be more than 1,000,000 species living today. These species are classified into 188 families and some 10,000 genera. Of these, some 3,125 species are known only from fossils, the oldest of which, a limoniid crane fly, is some 225 MILLION years old (Upper Triassic (Carnian)).
