After finishing the regular season 8-3 and advancing to the playoffs, coach Will Hall is pleased with the way his University of West Alabama football team has played this season, especially considering some of the hurdles it had to overcome.
After finishing the regular season 8-3 and advancing to the playoffs, coach Will Hall is pleased with the way his University of West Alabama football team has played this season, especially considering some of the hurdles it had to overcome.
"We did three things this year that have never been done in the history of our school: We won at Valdosta State, we beat Delta State, Valdosta and North Alabama in the same year and we won the first outright GSC championship in school history," Hall said. "So, from that standpoint, it's been just an outstanding year. The Division II losses we had were disappointing, as was losing Matt Willis in the middle of the year. For him to go down the way he did was just a tragic thing for him and our fans and our football program. In the games we lost, we didn't feel like we put our best foot forward. So those are disappointing, but to do those things we did — that's a huge step in the right direction for our program."
Besides Hall, who won Gulf South Conference Coach of the Year honors, one of the keys to the Tigers' success has been the defense. Newcomer Ridge Wilson, who transferred from Kentucky, has made an immediate impact, winning the honor of GSC Defensive Player of the Year behind his 15.5 tackles for loss and 50 total tackles. Wilson attributes his success to preparation and a desire to disrupt the opposing offense.
"Success on game day is preparation, watching film," Wilson said. "What you do on Saturday is what you've done all week, watching film, repeating the play. Every play I'm trying to get off the ball, get on the edge of the linemen, get the linemen on their toes, trying to be a problem for the quarterback and offensive coordinator. I'm trying to be relentless every play, being a problem to the quarterback and offensive line, getting a sack, squeezing the pocket. I want to be a problem."
The Tiger defense has taken a similar philosophy to Wilson's, and Hall was impressed with the way it played.
"They've all played well," Hall said. "We've gotten better as the season has gone on. That's credit to our seniors and assistant coaches. We're No. 1 in the nation in pass defense and (fourth) overall in total defense. We were able to mesh those new guys in, and I think it's had a positive impact on our program."
Wilson has drawn inspiration from the school mascot.
"We just get after our opponent," Wilson said. "We use the mentality of a tiger. A tiger doesn't sit back and wait for his prey. He is aggressive, he pursues. We're Tigers, so we have to play like tigers. We play aggressive, play with intensity and play smart."
When the Tigers face Miles today, the defense may again be the key to the game, Hall said.
"They're quarterback is a great, great player," he said. "I think the key to this game is what is always the key for us, it's to allow our defense to be a great defense. Don't give up long returns. If we have to punt, make sure we get down there to cover it. I think the physical aspect of the game will be big. We've been pretty good all year in the trenches. I think those matchups will be big as well."
With Miles being an in-state opponent, Wilson sees this game as a rivalry of sorts, and he wants to make his coaches proud.
"It means a lot," Wilson said. "It's a big game similar to a North Alabama game. I want to win this game for the coaches. To be able to play for a guy like him, it makes you want to give your all. This game is about respect. I feel like a few opponents don't respect me, they don't respect my team, they don't respect my coaches. So I want to go out there and make them respect us."

We asked a dozen men in the NFL—players, coaches and executives—to share the best thing they've learned from their dad or an influential father figure. Here's the wisdom that's been passed on by mail carriers, businessmen, high school coaches, Hall of Famers, construction workers, educators and military veterans
Ike Taylor, Steelers cornerback
Pittsburgh owner Dan Rooney taught me that status doesn't mean anything. My father was a rolling stone, as they say. When I was drafted, I learned that Dan Rooney had an open door policy for his employees. During my third season I went to his office to share my feelings, but I was so exhausted I fell asleep on his couch. He told his son, the president, I was going to take over his office and he turned off the lights and left. I think I napped for two and a half hours. We're talking about a Hall of Famer, an owner, who treats everybody like family. With him, it doesn't matter who you are—we're all human.
John Fox, Broncos coach
Ron Fox taught me the importance of teamwork. My stepfather, now 79, came into my life when I was 11 and later I decided to take his last name. He went to Ohio State and became one of the original Navy SEALs. As a boy I watched him train in everything from water jumps to mini-sub exercises. I saw a couple of Silver Star presentations for bravery, and through hearing the tales behind the honors, I learned how important it was to him to take care of a teammate. I can't share those stories, but the memories will stick with me for the rest of my life.
Gus Bradley, Jaguars coach
Roy James Bradley taught me that everything you do is a reflection of you. He passed last October in Minnesota at the age of 85. I had a lawn-mowing job as a teenager that also required me to trim about 35 trees. One day after I had already come home, he drove by tree number 13 and saw that it still had tall grass around it. He took me back out to the spot and had me fix it. "If you have a job to do," he said, "do it to the best of your ability, because people are always watching and trying to find out what you are all about." I try to meet those standards every day.
Joe Staley, 49ers tackle
Butch Staley taught me to enjoy my job. My father's been a mail carrier in Michigan since I was born. He's 53, and grew up in a coal mining town outside of Pittsburgh with an alcoholic father. My dad was the opposite. He's an example of how to be a great father and a great husband. Every day is fun to him. He knows the families he's delivering to, and they get excited to see him on his route. I take pride in my job, but I don't let the pressure overwhelm me. A lot of guys take it way too seriously and get bogged down, but I never have. I think that comes from my dad.
Clark Hunt, Chiefs Chairman and CEO
Lamar Hunt taught me that it is important to treat others with respect and dignity no matter their station in life. When I was a boy, my dad was working on the AFL and interests in soccer, tennis and basketball, but despite all that he made an effort to be at my games. He would fly back from wherever he was to be there. It's fun for me today, seven or so years after he passed away, to run into someone with a Lamar Hunt story. A man told me he was 22 years old and was sitting in an airport when he recognized the man sitting beside him as the owner of the Chiefs. My dad struck up a conversation, and they spent the next 15 minutes talking about what was going on in the young man's life. It's nice to have that reminder of how important it is to treat others well.
Brian Cushing, Texans linebacker
Frank Cushing taught me to fear no one. He pitched in two College World Series and he made me a warrior through baseball. When we were taking batting practice and I was crowding the plate, he would throw at my head. He never hit me, but he came close enough to get the message across. All those parents who questioned his methods look at me now like, Wow, he knew what he was doing. Dad believed that there was nothing worse than wondering if you could've or should've tried harder. I've gotten hurt sometimes while doing it but there isn't a day that goes by I regret because I know I've gone after everything 100 percent. That's because of him.
Gunther Cunningham, Lions senior coaching assistant
Garner Cunningham taught me how to fight. My stepfather was an Air Force sergeant who brought me to this country at the age of 12, with my mother. I was born in Munich in 1946—a year after WWII—and I knew as soon as the teacher read my name during attendance I would become a target. During that first year in Greenfield, Massachusetts, I fought constantly. One fight with four boys came to my front yard. My stepfather opened the door and said, "Son, you'd better win." And he locked the door. The night he died two years ago, I asked him, "Why didn't you help me?" And he said, "Son, if you were going to make it in this country, you had to learn to fight for yourself, to take care of yourself, to make something of yourself." That experience drove me in school, as a football player, and darn sure drove me as a coach. Maybe that would be wrong for some people, but for me it was the right medicine.
Rick Smith, Texans general manager
Dr. Franklin L. Smith taught me to learn and grow from my mistakes. My father always emphasized the importance and value of education. He was superintendent of the Dayton Ohio Public School system, so his signature was on my high school diploma. At Purdue, I was on the dean's list as a freshman and enjoyed a role as a part-time starter and special teams contributor. Yet by sophomore year I was declared academically ineligible to play football. When I planned to tell my father, we met at a Denny's following his monthly public school board meeting. "I made a mistake," I said. He responded, "You are not judged by your mistakes—you are judged on how you respond to them and grow." It gave me strength, determination, and inspiration and it was one of the most powerful and pivotal moments of my life. Dad, after all these years, I hope you know I was listening.
Philip Rivers, Chargers quarterback
Steve Rivers taught me that if you're going to do something, you better do it all the way. He was a high school football coach in Decatur, Alabama, for 30-some years before retiring recently. I loved being around it as a kid and hearing his QBs call plays. I couldn't wait to be his quarterback. In the fall, when we'd rake the lawn, we had to get every last leaf. I would tell him, "Dad, more are gonna fall!" And he'd say, "Well, we'll get them too." He treated the third-team tackle same as the quarterback. And he would bench me like anybody else, but he didn't let a bad practice ruin dinner. I asked him once on the field, "Do I call you Dad or Coach Rivers?" And he said, "Shoot, call me dad."
Dennis Allen, Raiders coach
Grady Allen taught me that I can't control everything in my environment, but I can control the way I respond to that environment. I lost my father two years ago at 66 years old. Growing up in Hurst, Texas, he was a guy who was always there for me. He coached all of my Little League teams and he impressed upon his children a desire to be the best in everything that you do. He taught me the value of hard work. After playing five NFL seasons with the Falcons, he became an industrial chemical salesman. When I was a boy, he'd take off for the road on a Monday and say, "I won't be back until Thursday, so I'm going to miss your game on Wednesday." But, invariably, he was at every single one of my games.
Jake Matthews, Falcons tackle
Bruce Matthews taught me if you commit to something, you're not giving up on it. It was unbelievable to see his energy every week, the amazing way he played on the field and then came home and had all the love in the world for us. Late in fifth grade, I told my dad, "I think I'm going to play baseball instead of football this year." He didn't even make me feel bad and say, "No, you have to play football," but we had his relentlessness, because he left everything on the field. Naturally I came back and said, "I can't quit football. Let's do both."
Ryan Grigson, Colts general manager
Jeffrey F. Grigson taught me to never feel sorry for myself, and how to fight for those you love. My father was a 6-foot-3, 250-pound former Marine, college defensive tackle and construction worker. To me, he looked like the Incredible Hulk. I lost him to brain cancer when I was 9, and yet, I still have many fond memories of him. He still found the energy to help coach my first football team, referee my basketball games and take me and my friends to the movies and the park. He never stopped being a dad. Years after his passing, I asked my mom if he ever had any weak moments with her. She said he never once complained or ever even said, "Why me?" The example he demonstrated in the face of severe adversity has given me strength whenever I've encountered challenges. My father only lived to 33, but in our nine years together he gave me plenty of vivid examples of what it means to be both a father and a man.

Patch 2.4 will likely go live this coming Tuesday and if not, then most assuredly next Tuesday. Are you ready?
I went over some of the upcoming patch 2.4 changes back in February, as well as looked at a couple of the new tanking items.
About the only skill change that is coming with 2.4 that affects tanking warriors, is the change to Cleave. From the patch notes:
Cleave: This ability will no longer strike any secondary target which is under the effect of crowd-control spells that break on taking damage. i.e. Polymorph, Sap, etc.
I guess this is nice, but in my opinion it is just a dumbing down move. If you are worth your salt, you can move mobs as needed so that your Cleaves aren't breaking CC's anyway.
Other than that, I hope you've been saving up those badges for the new badge loot!

For all the free agents imported by the new Tampa Bay Buccaneers regime, one of the most important additions is a young player returning from a torn labrum that cost him the entire second half of the 2013 season.
Running back Doug Martin said Friday that he expects to gain medical clearance next week and should be ready for offseason workouts on April 22.
"It's been too long since I've been in the game," Martin said, via Rick Brown of the Lakeland Ledger. "I can't wait to get back on the field."
Coach Lovie Smith has identified Martin as his "bell cow" in a power-running game, but the new offensive staff has promised to use multiple backs to a greater extent than Greg Schiano did.
As disappointing as Schiano's two-year tenure turned out to be, his coaching staff deserves credit for a rushing scheme that allowed mediocre talents such as Bobby Rainey and Mike James to excel when Martin went down last season.
We suspect Martin's volume and fantasy value will take a hit in new coordinator Jeff Tedford's offense even if the runner recaptures his rookie-season form as one of NFL's most effective per-play backs.
UPDATE: Martin tweeted Monday that his shoulder has been cleared for football activities.
CLEARED!!!! Excited to be back y'all!!â

In the last few weeks it seems I have gotten exposed to lots of new search sites and places to play for free or for fee.
Having been a big fan of Mr. Samuelson and his information on Wills, Deeds, and Probates I follow him.
Today I got an update that he has updated his site.
So this morning I played. I dare not call it work for it has become quite a task.
SAMPUBCO Here is one of my favorite sites to play.
Due to New York being a non rewarding area to research I love to garner all the help I can get.
Having met a few distant cousins and found some nice new friends no better place to be.
Deciding I was going to crack this JONES problem or at least have an idea where to look next. So I went to New York and started reading all the JONES names in the Index of Wills. Having known some were mine from previous searches, I expanded my search in this method.
I decided to start with A and g to Z. So far the counties I have checked no one has listed anyone of the name I am researching. But I did find a Zebulon, a few Solomon's, Josiah, Samuel, William, Ebenezer, Elijah, Enos, and Timothy. O yes, there was that one NOEL JONES in Independence , Allegany Co. Ny.
His papers I have from LDS Library several years ago. The long court battle, the drugs, the loss of suit for children of his by first wife. It itself makes a story that one can make into a movie. NY-2-4-195
My Noel was born around 1785 near Albany, New York. His son was NOYES JONES, we believe him to be born Petersburg, Renssealear Co. Ny. Found the entry in the County Records, It lists his Mom as Susana and father NOEL JONES. From Noel to Noyes I can confirm on down. It is the Silas Jones Sr to NOEL I am struggling with. He is probably the son of Abel, Ruscomb or Noel the first three born sons of Silas. I suspect Abel but some one sent me a note saying to recheck NOEL, Silas, Sr. son born 14 April 1748
So hopefully by doing a county by county search I may find a clue on my elusive Noel Jones.
O yes I have information on other Noel Jones's but not born in the time frame given. Except one up in Utica in 1855 ? or 1860 in an Ad, that one ties to a John Jones . But Utica did not list him with a Will there.

Golf, Fishing and Mountain Biking - Discover Kinloch, Lake Taupo.
Once an iconic haven for Kiwi's in the summer, Kinloch is fast becoming an international destination for some world class golf, fishing, mountain biking.
1 / 7
Kinloch - Lake Taupo, New Zealand.
The Location :
Kinloch is a village with a truly distinct character. Fast becoming a worthy stop-off for travellers taking a road trip through the central plateau, its location on the north shore of Lake Taupo makes for easy access from all the main centres of the North Island. And with the convenience of Taupo town itself only 15 minutes drive away, Kinloch is proudly telling the world of its unique offering....
The Golf Courses :
There are two golf courses in this small village. One of them, The Kinloch Club is fast becoming one of the very best . Ranked by golf course architecture peers as a Top 100 in the World in 2013 (Golf Course Architecture Magazine), it is fair to say that The Kinloch Club is fast becoming a "must-play" on the New Zealand golf trail. As the only Jack Nicklaus Signature Course in New Zealand, that is unique in itself. But with Mr Nicklaus exclaiming that The Kinloch Club had the potential to become the best course he has designed to date, then there is reason to believe that there is something very special going on here. The course certainly offers a true test of golf that will challenge every aspect of a players game, so fore-warned is fore-armed! Former Open Champion, Sir Bob Charles says it is his No.1 in New Zealand, so who am I to argue - www.thekinlochclub.com
There is also a truly delightful 10 hole course in Kinloch (called Kinloch Golf Club) which makes for either a delightful warm up for the Nicklaus course, or for just a fun round of golf with friends or family. The course is relaxed and offers an interesting array of holes that make for a truly enjoyable experience.
The Marina :
Quite simply put, the Kinloch Marina is one of the prettiest marina's you will come across. It also is home to some delightful boats! Offering access into the Western Bays of Lake Taupo, fishing for the famous Lake Taupo trout is made a lot easier when you know where to catch them ! Local operators offer half day to full day trips to explore some of the remotest parts of this great lake.
Mountain Biking :
The addition in the past five years of two majestic mountain bike tracks that lead into Kinloch from the West and East sides as part of the Great Lake Trail, has given additional reason to stay in Kinloch a little longer. The W2K track starts from Whakaipo Bay to the East of the village, and climbs to a stunning outlook over Whangamata Bay, before the fun downhill leg into the village! There is also the Kawakawa Bay Track which heads west from Kinloch, and again, views are just mesmerising across Lake Taupo to The Tongariro National Park in the distance. The tracks are fully maintained and are easily accessed either from the village of Kinloch itself or by taking a transfer to the drop-off points at each end of both tracks. Transfers are offered by Great Lake Shuttles
Accommodation :
There are some B&B's in Kinloch as well as ample holiday home accommodation options from luxurious homes to extremely comfortable baches on the lakefront. Dunalistair House is one such luxurious offering, providing a 4 bedroom Qualmark 5* graded holiday home overlooking the Jack Nicklaus golf course. For more holiday home ideas, visit Kinloch Holiday Homes, who offer a growing number of homes and baches to rent.
Dining :
Fish-and-Chips on the beach, a wood-fired pizza oven and also The Tipsy Trout restaurant all offer unique Kiwi hospitality if you are wishing to lap up more of the local Kinloch culture. Alternatively, the easy drive into Taupo offers the array of cafe's, restaurants and shops to add to the variety.
Simply put, Kinloch is a magical place to visit and stay a few days. And did I mention the magical walking trails in the nearby Pureora's? That will be saved for another article!

Top Republican lawmakers have less than two weeks to come up with a new list of priority road projects to fund, but it's not clear if they can come up with enough projects in time.
A supplemental funding bill signed by Gov. Rick Snyder in March again gave the Legislature the authority to award $115 million to various road projects of their choosing across the state.
Specifically, the law says; "Projects shall be obligated and construction shall be underway or design work shall be completed by July 1, 2014."
Local government groups and transportation advocates take that to mean that at this point, due to the pending deadline, the only projects lawmakers could fund with this money are ones that have already been fully engineered and are simply awaiting the money to begin turning dirt. That means some projects that could receive funding may not be of the highest priority, but are ones that are the most ready to begin.
Even then, the money would not arrive to fund those projects until the first week of August, due to the timing of monthly state funding disbursements, said Kurt Weiss, spokesman for the Department of Technology, Management and Budget.
Advocates fear the announcement of this money by July 1 will be used by lawmakers to show they are funding the roads, after failing to come up with a structural and long-term transportation funding solution before they adjourned last week to begin a 12-week summer break.
If the legislative leadership cannot find enough projects to fund by July 1, the law stipulates that any money not used for priority road projects has to flow through the traditional funding formula the state uses to provide dollars to local municipalities, counties and road agencies.
That would be just fine with several groups representing those interests, who think the idea of the legislative leadership of one party choosing which road projects are funded and which are not is a bad one and that those decisions should be left up to the experts at the Michigan Department of Transportation and local government level.
"We would prefer the money goes through the formula for sure," said Monica Ackerson Ware, communications and development manager for the County Road Association of Michigan. "There were some jurisdictions last time that didn't receive any revenue. If you're earmarking projects the way you do in Washington, it's not good public policy."
Dave Murray, Snyder's deputy press secretary, said since lawmakers have not submitted a list of projects, "it seems increasingly unlikely any projects will make that deadline."
This is a fairly new concept in road funding in the state, used last year but prior to that it had been more than a decade. Traditionally, MDOT and local units of government receive funding from the state and decide on their own which roads to fix.
Priority projects enable some communities to fix a road or bridge that it otherwise would not have had the money to fix. Some of the projects can cost several million dollars. If the state simply put more money into the funding formula, a community might receive just a fraction of what it needs to complete just one project.
But the process also injects politics into the decision-making.
As Crain's reported in March, the last time the Republican leadership allocated money for priority road projects, it spent it almost entirely in districts represented by Republicans. Of the 108 projects funded across the state last year, just two were requested by Democrats.
Lawmakers say this time the funding will be handed out more evenly because they invited Democrats to take part in the process.
"We really think having priority lists politicizes the way money is distributed," said Lance Binoniemi, vice president of government affairs for the Michigan Infrastructure & Transportation Association. "Roads are a bipartisan issue and it needs to continue to be a bipartisan issue."
House and Senate leadership seem to be of different minds when it comes to what to do with the $115 million available for priority projects.
Anna Heaton, deputy press secretary for House Speaker Jase Bolger, R-Marshall, said lawmakers are still working to prioritize a list of projects, but given the amount of time left to do so, it's possible they might not find enough projects to fund.
"The time frame is getting shorter," she said.
Heaton said what Bolger has heard from the public is that people don't just want patchwork maintenance repairs on the roads; they want roads in the most desperate need of repair to actually be fixed.
A Plan B scenario would be a hybrid plan, where they fund the projects they can, she said, and send the rest of the money into the funding formula to be spread across the state.
But Amber McCann, press secretary for Senate Majority Leader Randy Richardville, R-Monroe, said the Senate has been actively working to finalize a list by July 1 that would utilize all of the money, rather than have a portion go into the state's funding formula.
McCann said they have been working with members of both sides of the aisle on projects in their districts to find the ones that are in most need of funding.
"We are focusing on the projects that are as close to being executed as possible," she said.
John LaMacchia, legislative associate for the Michigan Municipal League, said these one-time solutions are not the answer and the MML is indifferent to whether this money should go toward priority projects or spread across the state.
"The effort and the time should be spent on finding a long-term solution," he said.

All is quiet between Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie and the Philadelphia Eagles on the contract front, which has everything to do with the team's uncertain future.
PhillyMag.com reported Thursday the Eagles aren't negotiating with their starting cornerback or any of their players during the season, choosing instead to focus on improving the 3-6 record that has left Philadelphia lounging in the NFC East basement.
Rodgers-Cromartie -- acquired from the Arizona Cardinals in the Kevin Kolb trade before last season -- is set to become a free agent, but speculation that Eagles coach Andy Reid and his staff might not be back in 2013 reportedly is a factor in delaying long-term contracts for the coach's hand-picked players.
DRC's fate is linked to fellow cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha, who's owed a massive $15 million in base salary next season, with $4 million guaranteed. Rodgers-Cromartie is making $1,963,750 this year and obviously won't come cheap.
Both have disappointed for a relatively lost Eagles defense. Rodgers-Cromartie has been the better of the two. Quarterbacks have a 62.4 passer rating throwing in his direction. That figure balloons to 109.5 against Asomugha, who has registered only one interception all season. DRC hasn't picked off a pass since September.
The Eagles might swallow Asomugha's guaranteed money and allow the aging corner to hit the bricks. Rodgers-Cromartie, 26, remains productive, but if the Eagles clean house, his future is unknown.

To DiC, or not to DiC: that has seemed to be the question in PHP for the last few years. Most people generally agree that injecting dependencies is the right thing to do®. For those writing a framework, or any shared codebase where extensibility or the ability to grow the codebase is a core philosophical tenet, not injecting dependencies is doing a disservice to the project in the long run. So, as I've stated before, the question becomes how do we manage the added complexity that comes with practicing dependency injection?
Recapping What a DiC Is
A DiC (dependency injection container) is a special type of object container that acts as one part object registry, one part object factory. In most common and popular implementations, the container is seeded with or has access to data about what the code looks like (the class names, methods parameters), and also the runtime information (the parameters, like usernames, and application specific information.) Sometimes there is a clear division between the two, sometimes they are blended together. Either way, we can assert that to be a DiC, a container must do at least one of:
- Auto-instantiation: the ability to act as a factory, by creating objects. This means that the container is responsible for either calling
- Auto-wiring: the ability to introduce one object as a dependency to another. This means if object A is required to successfully produce a valid object B, the container is capable of finding or producing object A before introducing it to object B. This could be through constructor injection or via setter injection.
In my book, failing to achieve either of those disqualifies a container from being a DiC.
What A Service Locator Is
A Service Locator, on the other hand, is better defined by a usage pattern, rather than the signature (pattern) of any particular class. This means that any object, upon being injected into a consuming object and then asked for an object, can be a service locator if it is capable of producing the requested object by a particular name or type. Effectively, a service locator can be a special container, or not; it can be a registry, or not; or it can be a factory, but perhaps not.
The only stipulation is that you've provided an object (the service locator) as a dependency to another object so that that the consuming object can then use the provided object (the service locator) to locate any dependencies. Instead of injecting n dependencies, you inject just one: the service locator. In code, it looks like this:
$container = new ContainerThatCanFindThings(); // implements LocatorInterface
$thing = new ThingThatHasDependencies($container);
The constructor for this ThingThatHasDependencies, might look like this:
class ThingThatHasDependencies {
public function __construct(LocatorInterface $container) {
$this->dependencyOne = $container->get('DependencyOne');
$this->dependencyTwo = $container->get('DependencyTwo');
Now, you can see that any instance of ThingThatHasDependencies is now Container aware, which, depending on the context of the ThingThatHasDependencies, might be a good (or a bad) thing.
When to Use Which, In PHP
The decision of whether or not to use a Service Locator approach or use a DiC should be asked and answered not for your code base as a whole, but for each layer or component. The Service Locator pattern should be applied only in places where the it makes the most sense. There are a few simple questions that help you decide whether applying the Service Locator pattern to a particular component or layer within your application makes the most sense.
To reiterate, this is not a pattern that should be applied carte-blanche to all code. Not all code may benefit from using a Service Locator. To help you decide, start by dissecting the structure of your code into layers and components. For example, the layers in an MVC application are Models, Controllers and Views (in that order). The components can be any supporting library code that can stand on its own.
Once you've done this, the next question to ask of each is which part could benefit from the usage of a Service Locator vs. having explicitly defined class dependencies. To do this, there are a few considerations that help you decide:
- What does an instance of a particular class best represent? Is it an object with a well defined API, or does the class better serve as a collection of somewhat related methods? (Loose API's benefit from consuming a Service Locator.)
- How many actual required dependencies are there? (Obj.'s with many dependencies benefit from a Service Locator)
- Is it cumbersome to wire in a large set of dependencies? (Similar to above, put another way.)
- How many "optional dependencies" are there? (Obj.'s with variable dependency sets benefit from a Service Locator)
- How many required dependencies shared throughout all workflows of a given object? (Obj.'s with many dependencies benefit from a Service Locator.)
- Is it anticipated that the number of dependencies might grow over time, or is it fixed? (Adding dependencies requires informing the consumer about how to wire new dependencies.)
- How important is it that a particular class announce its dependencies in various method signatures? (More dependencies means more API introspection to determine how to wire an object.)
- Is this piece of code at the center of many cross-cutting concerns? (Cross-cutting concern objects generally have lots of completely unrelated dependencies. As such, their API, like in point number 1, means little in terms of defining the objects actual role.)
In summary, if you find that if:
- a layer of code or component has many dependencies that are not shared by all workflows of that particular consuming object;
- that the number of these dependencies is large and capable of growing over time;
- that there is not much importance on objects announcing their dependencies (via constructor injection, setter or interface injection);
then Service Location is by far a better solution than practicing dependency injection.
An Example/Exercise In Where I Make The Distinction
To better understand the considerations I've laid out above, I'll demonstrate their application in an application's architecture.
When dealing with an MVC application architecture, I prefer to practice service location for controllers, and dependency injection for models. So, how do I go about justifying that decision?
Concerning controllers: The fact that a controller is an object and an action a method is inconsequential.
Most actions could as easily do their job as a closure (like many Sintra style frameworks), or a function. While you get some benefits by being able to tuck away helper functionality in protected methods, the greatest driving factor for controllers as objects is simply that they can group contextually similar actions together into a class. Moreover, the public API of a controller is generally only ever interacted with via a dispatch framework. Rarely do developers instantiate and call controller actions without first going through some dispatcher object.
Concerning controllers: Controller dependency sets are variable per controller.
For any given action within a controller, it's dependencies will vary. Given that you've grouped your User centric actions together, it goes without saying that while most might share some dependencies, it's rare that every action will share all those dependencies. For example, a UserController::editAction might have a dependency on a UserForm object, but UserController::showAction might not:PHP12345678910111213class UserController {public function __construct(UserForm $userForm, UserRepository $userRepository, ViewInterface $view) {$this->userForm = $userForm;$this->userRepository = $userRepository;$this->view = $view;}public function editAction() {$this->view->set('form', $this->userForm);}public function showAction() {$this->view->set('users', $this->userRepository->findAll());}}
Concerning controllers: Injecting specific dependencies is generally outside the scope of a dispatcher.
The job of a dispatcher is not trivial. Depending on the system, it could be parsing a HTTP route, and dissecting some information to determine what code to instantiate/invoke. Once it's figured out what needs to be invoked, the last thing you want is your dispatcher is to have enough contextual understanding to make decisions on what specific services need to be injected into this particular controller. The following is a common dispatch workflow is non-complex frameworks:PHP12345678910// common variables from a router:$routerParams = array('controller' => 'User', 'action' => 'show');// common dispatch workflow:$class = $routerParams['controller'] . 'Controller';$method = $routerParams['action'] . 'Action';// dispatch$controller = new $class;return $controller->{$method}($routerParams);
Concerning controllers: Controllers are very much tied to the stack that dispatches them.
Controllers generally already have a dependency on the framework they are being dispatched from. Along the same lines of thinking, them understanding the type that $serviceLocator->get('db'); does not make them any less reusable since they are already dependent on a particular framework to dispatch them. (Unless you're not using a framework, then this point is moot.)
Concerning models: It is highly anticipated that models can be re-used outside of this particular application.
That said, I find it important to be able to isolate dependencies and practice good DI in models. After all, they are most closely related to the business problem at hand, and since they are environment agnostic, they are a prime candidate for unit testing (whereas controllers are a better candidate for some form of UI or behavior testing). In addition, I find it important to see all dependencies up front when constructing models. Too many dependencies generally means it's time to go back to the drawing board.
Concerning models: The API of a model is something a developer (not a framework) interacts with.
That being the case, the API needs to be able to effectively communicate any dependencies to the developer, without them having to consult large amounts of documentation.
Brief Parting Words
In short, contrary to a popular belief, Service Location is not always an anti-pattern. Patterns are not prescriptions, and service location is no exception. In some cases, using service location is beneficial, in others it is not.

I must agree with Brian Sheets of Beaverton, Ore., with regard to a "Disaster waiting to happen" (Letters to the Editor, Dec 10, 2004).
I believe that creating two new pilot designations with lower standards and less training, "sport" and "recreational" pilots, was a mistake. In order to make flying available to persons who don't wish to go through the rigors of the current private pilot training syllabus, what the FAA should have done was to simplify some of the convoluted mess we now must live under and invite more private pilots.
For example, why in the world in this day and age must new private pilots have to learn all the antiquated weather symbols and abbreviations that were used when teletypes were in vogue, some of which are based on the French language? As important as weather data are, why must we live with so many possibilities for error? Does it really matter to the pilot where the weather data come from, satellite, radar, balloon, observation, etc.? Why not simply have comprehensive local and area weather progs and report charts? Shouldn't the textual reports and forecasts be in plain English?
FAR 91.155 and many others could and should be greatly simplified. The regs that we currently live under are a result of decades of revisions and revised revisions.
Do we really need six classes of airspace, four, or is it five, types of ASOS, plus AWOS, etc.? The list of excesses goes on and on.
There are many areas where the rules and regs, indeed the whole system, should be simplified without compromising knowledge necessary for safe flying. We would all be better trained and safer if the effort expended to obtain a license were used to learn meaningful information instead of gobbledygook. There would be fewer potential pilots scared off by all the convolutedness.
Some of the brighter lights at the FAA should consult with some of us old instructors, then sit down and review the convoluted system we are enduring and come up with a simpler system both in the interest of safety and to attract more pilots who would be better trained, not lesser trained, as is the case with recreational and sport pilots.

In a Bloomberg/Businessweek article, economics professor Perry Mehrling offers a possible solution to Europe's "doom loop" of weak banks and weak governments. An excerpt:
"Economist Perry Mehrling of Columbia University's Barnard College has a bold idea that began as an out-of-the-box thought experiment and is slowly evolving into a real proposal. He wrote about it on the website of the George Soros-supported Institute for New Economic Thinking, where he is a senior adviser. He told me today that "it has definitely been inserted into the conversation at the highest level. What they're doing with it, I don't know."
The idea is to make a clean break between the two "swimmers," banks and governments. Raise a big pool of private money (a "special investment vehicle," or SIV, in finance lingo). Then use that money to buy up all the government bonds of all the banks of the euro zone. That would take trillions of dollars. Buying the bonds at their actual market value, rather than their face value, would force the banks of Spain, Italy, and other countries to recognize huge losses. But those losses have already occurred—they've just been hidden."

Prof. Mehrling's research focuses on the foundations of monetary economics and the history and applications of monetary economics and finance.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
WASHINGTON - Making the fight against systemic discrimination an agency-wide top priority, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) on Tuesday adopted recommendations from an internal task force report that focus on strengthening the Commission's nationwide approach to investigating and litigating systemic cases.
The task force, led by Commissioner Leslie E. Silverman, defined systemic cases as "pattern or practice, policy and/or class cases where the alleged discrimination has a broad impact on an industry, profession, company, or geographic location." The full task force report is available on the EEOC's web site at http://www.eeoc.gov/abouteeoc/task_reports/systemic.html.
Chair Cari M. Dominguez said, "I want to commend Commissioner Silverman and her task force for the excellent work they have done on this report. This is a very important initiative and I am pleased that the Commission will be moving forward to implement its recommendations."
"By implementing the Task Force's recommendations, the Commission is sharpening its focus on systemic discrimination," Commissioner Silverman said. "Our field offices should handle all systemic investigations and litigation. That's where we have our greatest resources and strengths, not to mention a proven track record. Field offices should partner and share expertise to maximize Commission resources. Headquarters' role should be to assist and support the field's systemic program."
The task force was established in 2005 and charged by Chair Dominguez with examining the EEOC's systemic program and recommending new strategies for addressing this type of employment discrimination. Task force members worked together for nearly a year, conducted interviews, held focus groups, and surveyed EEOC staff and external stakeholders.
The Task Force embarked on its work, as its report states, "with the recognition that the Commission cannot effectively combat discrimination without a strong nationwide systemic program." While concluding that the EEOC has successfully investigated, conciliated and litigated numerous systemic cases, the Task Force also found many opportunities for improvement. The report states: ". . . EEOC does not consistently and proactively identify systemic discrimination. Instead, the agency typically focuses on individual allegations raised in charges."
Commissioner Stuart Ishimaru, who praised the Task Force's work during Tuesday's meeting, said, "I strongly support the recommendations of the Systemic Task Force. If followed fully, I am confident that the recommendations will drastically improve the EEOC's systemic enforcement efforts."
Among the motions approved by the Commission Tuesday:
Among the directives issued by the Chair:
The EEOC is the federal government agency responsible for enforcing the nation's laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Additional information about the agency is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov

A lot of people tell you to follow your passion and pursue the things you love. But what if you can't actually figure out what the heck that is?
I pondered that question a couple months ago while searching for pictures of "bad" prom dresses for a Dos and Don'ts of Prom article I was assigned to write while interning for a stylist in NY (ooh, doesn't that sound all fancy?). When the article was done I went back and removed my name from the byline, preferring it just be credited to some enigmatic ghost blogger, as opposed to me. I'm the girl who's supposed to be the almighty cheerleader of alternative fashion, and firmly believes that fashion "don'ts" dont actually exist. Afterward I pushed my computer aside and took a moment to ask myself What are you doing? Like seriously, what are you doing?

- Description
DetailsOriginally founded in Hunslet, a village just outside Leeds, around 1756, Leeds Pottery was owned by members of two families, both called Green, who were then joined by a Lancashire businessman, William Hartley, giving the company the name under which it became famous. Hartley Greens & Co. rapid expansion followed and by 1790, the Pottery products were exported throughout Europe and as far afield as Russia and America. Hartley Greens & Co produced several kinds of pottery but was particularly famous for its Creamware, a new type of earthenware made from white Cornish clay combined with a translucent glaze to produce its characteristic pale cream color. Creamware was perfect for making the elegant and highly decorative tableware in demand in the Georgian age. The commercial success and outstanding quality of the Leeds product meant that in time all Creamware came to be popularly known as Leedsware.
