Java and JavaFX Meet Web 2.0 at O'Reilly Answers and Oracle Mix
Web 2.0 is a title that has been used to describe the generation of the World Wide Web that began with sites such as Flickr, MySpace, and Digg, and web technologies like web services, blogging, RSS syndication, and wikis. A defining aspect of Web 2.0 versus Web 1.0 is an increased level of participation by community members, and increased interaction between the authors of web pages and the people who visit those pages.
Within the domain of software engineering, the history of online posting of questions and answers to problems exhibits the change from "Web 1.0" to "Web 2.0" when one considers content archives like newsgroups, forums, and modern sites like Oracle Mix and O'Reilly Answers. All of these are clearly archives for information that is largely of the form of questions and answers. Still, that there is a major difference between the newsgroups of the early 1990s and sites like Oracle Mix and O'Reilly answers is readily apparent.
Newgroups are bare information archives, with little "personality". They're ideal for being mechanically catalogued by search engines. They're great, encyclopedic resources, but that the content was produced by actual human beings is not really noticeable. Or, at least, information about the individuality of those people isn't much available.
Meanwhile, sites like Oracle Mix and O'Reilly Answers are geared for the creation of communities. The communities may form around topic areas, around individuals who post on the sites, etc. It's a Web 2.0 structure, because the organization of the communities is determined by the visitors to the sites, not by a rigid site structure that is created by the site owner. Web 2.0 sites mimic the actual world of human interaction. It's like O'Reilly Answers and Oracle Mix are software engineering conference venues, but the types of conferences that "happen" there are of the unconference sort. The structure of the conference, of the interaction between the participants, of the clumping of people into groups and subgroups, is determined by the people who participate in the site, in the gatherings that the site infrastructure makes possible.
Web 2.0 really is cool, no?
Anyway, I was launched onto this tangent primarily by Java Champion James Weaver's blog post Hanging out with JavaFX Geeks and Newbies, which I'm highlighting as one of today's
With JavaFX/Java now being shepherded by Oracle, I thought it appropriate to start an Oracle-Mix forum where the JavaFX community can help each other and give feedback to Oracle JavaFX teams. This forum is affectionately entitled JavaFX Geeks and Newbies, and its stated purposes are: * Build a community that encourages and supports developers as they climb the JavaFX learning curve...
One of the most actively-discussed questions in the "Java geeks and newbies" group (which currently has 101 members) is What are the highest barriers to widespread adoption of JavaFX? (login required), a question Jim asked 23 days ago.
If you're engaged with JavaFX development, or interested in JavaFX, consider joining the JavaFX Geeks and Newbies Oracle Mix group.
Also, consider taking advantage of the O'Reilly Answers Java topic area (no login required) if you want to ask or answer Java-related questions, or present Java-related information snippets, within a Web 2.0 community framework.
Also in Java Today, Joseph Darcy considers API Design: Identity and Equality:
When designing types to be reused by others, there are reasons to favor interfaces over abstract classes. One complication of using an interface-based approach stems from defining reasonable behavior for the
hashCodemethods, especially if different implementations are intended to play well together when used in data structures like collections, in particular if an interface type is meant to serve as the key of a map or as the element type of a set...

In the Weblogs, I posted two blogs covering news items of interest that I came across on Wednesday. The later post was Jeff Friesen: Comic Books and Java:
On his home site, Jeff Friesen, author of 21 java.net articles, has posted an interesting little article titled Comic Books and Java. In the article, Jeff presents a Java application that reads and displays digitized comic books. In the article, Jeff explains the standard format in which comic books are digitized (a .cbz zipped file and a .cbr RAR archive file). Jeff then walks through his application code. If you'd like to read some digitized comic book classics on your desktop, or learn how to code a reader, check out Jeff's article.
My preceding news item post was Justin Kestelyn Tech Cast Live interview with Mark Reinhold is now available in audio-only format:
On Twitter, I saw that an audio-only edition of Justin Kestelyn's February 16 Tech Cast Live interview with Mark Reinhold is now available. To see the interview as well as hear it, visit https://channelsun.sun.com/media/show/15028.
John Ferguson Smart provides Focused Extreme Feedback with CI Information Radiators - a case study:
Build Server Information radiators are an excellent, easy-to-implement way of getting people to pay attention to broken builds. But it pays to tailor them to your exact needs. This article is a short case study of how easy it is to set up an effective information radiator if you put your mind to it. One of my clients is UBS Investment Bank in London. At UBS, they are into Agile in a big way. Rob Purcell and Gordon Weir of UBS asked me in to help out with some of their Maven, Test-Driven Development, Java coding and tooling practices. And one relatively minor item they were particularly keen on was to improve their information radiator, in order to raise awareness of broken builds...

Let's see about me... That's not a question one would think of as difficult until asked. I am always told that I have a unique take on the world which I always take as a compliment. I can also be found doing any assortment of activities. I enjoy reading, playing video games, hiking, camping, I'll try pretty much any sport. I can also be found in a recording studio producing some musician or in a t.v. studio behind the camera. I will also try to add any of those combination of things together when I can. I am also a fan of tattoos, having four of them myself with plans for more. To me they are some of the best forms of expression a person can have. I am sure I am forgetting stuff so please ask any questions you may have.

My self-summary
Write a little about yourself. Just a paragraph will do.
What I'm doing with my life
Don't overthink this one; tell us what you're doing day-to-day.
I currently work in retail which has both it's ups and downs. But I am really trying to find a job in the audio production world or in a radio station. Also I am just trying to have fun with life. "don't take life to seriously you'll never get out alive" - Van Wilder
I'm really good at
Go on, brag a little (or a lot). We won't judge.
I'm really good at making an ass out of myself. Like if that was a job i'd be the best at it. I am also good at starting fires, setting up tents and I know my way around a computer for the most part. I'm also really good at telling bad jokes and cuddling. One cuddle with me and your life will never be the same.
The first things people usually notice about me
I'm an empty essay… fill me out!
I don't have a clue. Help me figure out by letting me know. Thanks in advanced.
Favorite books, movies, shows, music, and food
Help your potential matches find common interests.
I love the Harry Potter series. Christopher Moore is my favorite author though. As for as movies going pretty much anything that's a comedy or involves superheros and i'll be good with watching it. My favorite band is Seether, but I am also a huge Aerosmith and Beatles fan. Basically any form of rock music works for me. I love the show Breaking Bad, I am also a fan of the Big Bang Theory. As for food I will try anything at least once.
The six things I could never do without
Think outside the box. Sometimes the little things can say a lot.
normal human things, food, water, air As for not "normal things" music, camping, books. Yeah those six things should work.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Global warming, lunch, or your next vacation… it's all fair game.
the future. I spend a lot of time thinking about what's going to happen and what moves can I make to get me as far as I can. I also think a lot about what my next tattoo is going to be.
On a typical Friday night I am
Netflix and takeout, or getting your party on — how do you let loose?
Could be anything. I could be with friends, I could be at work, I could be on an adventure. I could be sitting around reading. It's hard to say.
The most private thing I'm willing to admit
I'm an empty essay… fill me out!
That I tend to over think things to much and that I am not sure what I want out of life yet.
You should message me if
Offer a few tips to help matches win you over.
Your looking for a new friend and your not entirely sure where you want it to lead.

New staff member joins NMCRS
Inspired after 9/11 to return to serving his Navy community, retired Senior Chief David Swanson joined the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society (NMCRS) as a volunteer. After more than 800 hours as a volunteer, he became as staff member as a relief services assistant (RSA) in May of 2004. Now, after more than a decade with the NMCRS office at Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC), Swanson is retiring.
A Hail and Farewell luncheon was held in his honor Jan. 8 at the NMCRS office at NBVC Port Hueneme.
Swanson has been instrumental in providing financial counseling to service members and their families as a certified society caseworker, the highest achievement in NMCRS training. Over the years, he has touched the lives of more than 30,000 Sailors and facilitated the funding of a million dollars in assistance.
"Now, just as when I was a new volunteer years ago, I see Dave as the pillar resource of our office," said Jeanne Billiot, director of the NMCRS office at NBVC. "There is just no other person with the knowledge he has accumulated over his years as an active duty member and RSA with the Society."
NMCRS welcomes aboard Patty Sanford as the new relief services assistant. Sanford has been volunteering as a caseworker for just under a year. She is married to Lt. Jonathan Nelson, assistant operations officer for the Naval Facilities Engineering and Expeditionary Warfare Center.
Coincidentally, Sanford's first day as a volunteer was Jan. 23, 2013, the Society's 109th birthday. She quickly became a dedicated and capable member of the team, and she looks forward to serving the NBVC community in her new role.

An international team of researchers working at Los Alamos published a paper in the scientific journal Nature proposing an "unconventional" approach to superconductivity.
The work has emerged from a series of discoveries over the last several years, involving the interplay of traditional cold temperatures and magnetism with a newly identified boundary area governed by quantum physics.
Electricity, for all the good it does as a relatively inexpensive form of easily distributed energy is still less than fully efficient.
Some 20 percent of electrical energy goes to waste as heat from transmission wires.
Superconductivity, a special state of matter in which electrons can move without resistance, promises a sizeable energy dividend, if it can be accomplished at a warmer temperature.
Currently, even so-called "high temperature" superconductivity is far from warm. Industrially engineered superconductivity is now practical for some highly specialized purposes like magnetic resonance imaging and particle accelerators, but not for ordinary use.

Greetings to all.
Last year I wrote a great multi-instalment account of what I and Eve had been doing in the previous 12 months. My intention is to squeeze the account of 2014 into one episode. We shall see what my stint at the keyboard delivers. I cannot hope to compete in human interest with my cousin Mike's account of his desperate search for a lavatory near Buda castle. But I can certainly promise that this epistle will be illustrated.
At the end of 2013 we hosted our first wwoofer. Wwoof is an acronym for willing worker on organic farms. Through the year we have had a series of delightful young people in the house. They work on the farm for 4 or 5 hours per day and we provide board and lodging. They are usually travellers, working their way around New Zealand, but we have had a Kiwi, too. They have harvested last summer's garlic, hung it up to dry, cleaned and sorted it. Wwoofers helped to plant this year's crop, mulch it and weed it. And they have all been great company.
Christian (Germany), Elisa (Austria), Fabian (Germany) and Eve. For some reason, the two boys would do anything Elisa asked them to.
14 January 2014 was a very important day for us. That was when Laurel Sara Heritage, my first grandchild, was born. She had the great good sense to choose Richard and Tansy as her parents and, as you would expect, is growing into a delightful child. Not that Grampa is biased of course.
Laurel will be very literate. She has no option. Aunty Elizabeth has already started her on Pride and Prejudice and Grampa recites poetry to her; Spike Milligan and Ogden Nash mostly.
In February we booked ferries and drove to Auckland. Eve's niece Leigh was getting married to Glen on Waiheke Island on 1 March and this was an excuse to visit some other good friends. In Pauanui we caught up with Martin Little, who I have known since he flatted with my brother, Nigel, in London in the 1970s. In Auckland, John Vague, one of my many accountant friends, took us out on Auckland Harbour in his launch. We had a wonderful day, even though the snapper we caught were all undersized and had to be thrown back.
The wedding took place under a tree on a hill surrounded by grapevines. The weather was perfect. The groom was dashing. The bride was beautiful. It couldn't have been better.
Glen is from Ulster so we met his mother and aunt. We got on very well, and have pressing invitations to stay with them if we are ever in Northern Ireland. Leigh is a singer, so the reception music was live and featured some very well known (except to me, of course) musicians.
After a good party it was agony to get up early the next morning. But it had to be done so that we could get the first ferry back to the mainland and deliver me to the airport. I then flew to Wellington to play hockey. I was playing in the National Masters Tournament as a member of the Nelson 60+ team. So at the end of my hockey career I achieved representative honours. Not that there was a lot of competition for selection. If you were over 60 and still a registered player in Nelson you were in the team.
Eve drove the car South at a leisurely pace and collected me at the end of the week. After the tournament I retired from competitive hockey (for the second time). I still umpire and I will still play Golden Oldies hockey.
On the work front I fired my biggest client! I had been contracting to the New Zealand Institute of Chartered Accountants since 2004 to undertake quality control reviews of chartered accountancy practices. In 2013 this expanded to include reviews of licensed auditors under delegated authority from the Financial Markets Authority. Over time this had changed from being a largely educational process and become very much a policing operation. I have been heard to say that the FMA should have issued its reviewers with jackboots and a steel helmet. I did not enjoy it nearly so much, so I gave notice that I would not be renewing my contract.
Over time I had built up a little list of clients to whom I deliver advice on auditing and technical accounting matters. There wasn't enough of that work to generate a decent income, but preliminary discussions led to talks and then to an arrangement to help one of the national accounting firms. Again I am a contractor, not an employee, but I have the grand title of National Audit Risk Manager for BDO NZ. I even have a BDO email address, but it only accepts internal messages so you can't try it out. (BDO is a global network of accounting firms.) Quality control reviews are a large part of my work, but it also involves training audit personnel, and developing/improving audit policies and practices. And I can still do work for my other clients.
Eve went travelling without me in June. The original idea was to go with a friend, but the friend eventually couldn't go so Eve took off by herself. She went to the UK to see friends and relatives. These included her brother, Geoff Franklin, and my brother Nigel. The visit to Geoff and his wife, Stephanie, coincided with the death of Stephanie's mother, Doris. Doris had been ill for some time, so it was not unexpected, but it still made for a sombre visit.
Eve took a brand new camera with her but she didn't use it much. You will not be surprised to learn that nearly all the photos she brought home were of plants.
While Eve was away it fell to me to replace the car. The old one, which had given no trouble at all, suddenly developed several ailments at once. We have remained loyal to Toyota, but have gone up to a Camry because (a) it is very comfortable and (b) we got a really good deal on a not-quite-two-years-old vehicle. Luckily Eve likes it as much as I do.
After Eve got home we had less than a fortnight before we were off together. This year's holiday was to Fiji. After trying snorkeling for the first time in Hawaii last year Eve was very firm about doing some more. We did lots more.
We actually went on a package holiday. What? The Heritages are famously independent travellers. The deal we found was an 11-night tour of some of Fiji's offshore islands; the Mamanucas and Yasawas if you want to look them up. We selected the grade of accommodation and the tour operator selected five different resorts for 2-night stays and the last night was at Beachcomber 'party' island. Naturally we selected the most basic "1 coconut" resorts, but took the "Full Monty" package with lots of activities included.
Every day a large, yellow, fast ferry leaves Denarau in the morning and follows a route to the most distant of the Yasawa Islands. Then it turns round and heads back to Denarau. Along the way it picks up and drops off passengers and freight at the many resorts. Only one resort has anything so sophisticated as a jetty. The ferry merely slows down and drifts while people, luggage and freight are transferred to and from the resort's launch. Then it powers off to the next mid-ocean rendezvous.
We had a wonderful time and I could enthusiastically write at great length about out time in Fiji. Our resorts were generally small and run by the owner family. Our fellow guests were mainly young people on backpacker budgets. Both groups were invariably friendly and good company. Our bures were simple and comfortable and with one exception had en-suite facilities. At one resort we had a tiny private yard with an open air shower amongst the hibiscus. We generally had cold showers, but that's no penance in the tropics. The food was variable, but if the dining was sometimes ordinary, the dinner table conversation never was.
Every resort had at least one delightful, sandy beach. The sea was packed with coral and our snorkelling equipment got plenty of use. We saw all sorts of marine life, from living cowrie shells to sea snakes to manta rays. The new camera was a waterproof one, purchased with snorkelling in mind. For all that, it was an effort to break the habit of many years and put an expensive camera under the surface the first time.
One activity was advertised as feeding the sharks. The guides made much of the sharks' alleged preference for white skinned flesh. In the event, we didn't see the sharks eat anything, but we did gape at the way the guides played with them – grabbing them and bringing them up to the surface so we could all stroke the captive.

When not actually immersed in the sea we lazed in shaded hammocks, played/watched volleyball, fished, were serenaded as we watched the sunset from an open boat and, at one resort, dined al fresco just above the beach – again at sunset.
Our favourite resort was Naqalia, despite it having the coldest shower. They put on a lovo (earth oven feast) and a wonderful demonstration of Fijian dancing followed by a kava ceremony.
The tour operator was Awesome Adventures Fiji (http://www.awesomefiji.com). We recommend them.
Last Christmas I recklessly promised Eve that we would adopt a puppy from the SPCA. In August she exercised this option and we brought home Flossie.
Flossie is a 'summer' dog. She's summer this breed and summer that breed ;-) She is certainly good, exuberant company. We took her to puppy school where she learned to 'socialise' with other pups, which appears to be code for 'become uncontrollable'. We are trying very hard to mainly feed her the recommended, scientifically correct puppy food, which costs rather more than a restaurant steak. Flossie much prefers the supermarket's own-brand dog sausage, sheep poo or (if she is lucky enough to find one) a rabbit or hedgehog that has been dead for a week. When we first got her, she was miserably car sick. Now she sees a ride as a treat to be secured at all costs. A few days ago she spotted a stranger's car parked near our gate with a door left open. She immediately leapt inside and to our mortification ignored all commands to get out. She is now six months old and has successfully charmed us both.
October brought high drama. We had a French couple, Nicolas and Charlotte, wwoofing for us. Their English wasn't very fluent, but it was improving noticeably as their stay progressed. One of their tasks was to trim the twigs off broom stems that Eve's son Matthew had cut, and chop the stems into firewood length pieces. One day they arrived at the house in a very agitated state. Nicolas had been using a machete and had slashed his left thumb.
I immediately phoned for an ambulance, while Eve applied first aid. Both Nicolas and Charlotte were in a bad state, and Nicolas would not let Eve bind the hand properly. It was, Eve said afterwards, the first time she'd seen the inside of a living bone – and she would have liked a closer look. The machete had gone right through the bone and his thumb was attached only by soft tissue. Anyway, Eve did wrap it up in a towel and made Nicolas keep his hand elevated.
Rural properties are often difficult to identify at the roadside, so I was instructed to go down to the gate and make sure the ambulance came to the right place. It seemed to be taking an awfully long time, and then a helicopter appeared, circled once and then zeroed in on the house. Once I had climbed back up the hill I learned that the ambulance had been replaced by the rescue helicopter. The pilot had managed to land on the only level-ish piece of ground near the house.
The medics praised Eve for doing exactly the right thing and put a huge bandage on the injured hand. Nelson Hospital does not have the right specialists for sewing thumbs back on, so Nicolas was whisked directly to Hutt Hospital, in the North Island, which has a Plastics Department. The next morning the surgeon did his magic and the day after that Nicolas and Charlotte were back with us. The last we heard, the thumb is healing well.
Charlotte and Nicolas after the surgery
As if to compensate, November brought a piece of luck. BDO asked if I would help to present a week-long training session being run jointly with BDO Australia in Sydney. Did Eve want to come to Sydney with me? Of course she did.
The flight from Christchurch to Sydney was remarkable for what happened on the ground at Sydney Airport. Our plane was not directed to a gate with an air-bridge, so we had to be bussed from the aircraft to the terminal. We were seated close enough to the front of the plane to get on the first bus. When it was full the driver started the engine and pressed the switch to close the doors. The front doors closed, the rear doors hissed shut but the middle doors only waggled a bit. Open the doors and try again … After several attempts, some with physical assistance, all the doors closed – but the bus's electrics apparently didn't believe it because the vehicle would not move. By this time the passengers still on board the 'plane must have been getting very fed up.
The second bus had arrived, so we all shuffled off the first one and traipsed over to the replacement. The doors all closed to a subdued ironic cheer. The lady driver backed out into clear space, turned so that the bus was facing the right way and engaged forward gear. Nothing happened. It was an electric vehicle, and we could see her pushing buttons, but every time she attempted to move off one of the buttons popped out and the bus stubbornly stayed where it was. After several minutes she turned off the air conditioning and by some alchemy that allowed the motor to produce forward motion so we could proceed to the terminal.
We managed to have some time to ourselves at the weekends before and after the course. We took the ferry from Circular Quay to the zoo, which has a splendid collection of Australian fauna. We saw wild kookaburras and heard a clamorous reed-warbler. The latter has a loud, tuneful song, which it delivers without ever seeming to take a breath. It was in a fairly small cage but neither of us could see it! We visited Eve's friend Tasneem and her husband Don in Brighton le Sands. Eve had repeatedly told me that Tasneem is gorgeous. I can now confirm that she is.
During the working week I was coaching BDO senior auditors in how to do even better audits. Eve ambled around some of Sydney's tourist spots, had an extravagant lunch with Tasneem and devoted one day to the botanical gardens. She reported back on a number of shops, but did very little actual shopping. Her most notable purchase was a range of teas from a bookshop cafe.
On our last day we walked the Manly Scenic Walkway. The route is all within Sydney. Some of it is through suburbs, but an astonishingly large part of it is genuine bush. We enjoyed great views of the harbour, heard more kookaburras and saw many interesting plants.
A pied currawong
Eve had spent most of the week on her feet and had walked up some blisters. Near the end of the scenic walkway a large blister burst and the raw skin underneath was agony to walk on. Luckily we were approaching a residential area and the sight of a bus stop promised relief. The bus took us to the Manly Ferry Terminal, where we caught the fast ferry back to Circular Quay and a taxi to the airport.
My parents' estates got (mostly) settled during the year. We have paid off a chunk of the mortgage, but kept enough back to make us think of owning a boat. We have already inspected a few launches and hope to report on nautical adventures next year.
My Uncle Norman celebrated his 90th birthday in December. He is clearly confident of eclipsing his brother's 91 years and 5 months because he has already invited us to his 100th birthday party! And look out for the celebrations next October when he and Chick will have been married for an amazing 70 years.
Christmas was on a smaller scale than usual. Matthew has been living with us for the last few months and the only others to share our roast turkey were our most recent wwoofers, Minako and Naoto from Japan. They are a lively couple, who managed to maintain smiles on their faces even after 3 weeks of weeding the garlic. Minako is a qualified teacher and she spent a couple of days at Lower Moutere School observing the end-of-school-year chaos. She also enjoys cooking and has promised to come back in the New Year and cook us a Japanese banquet. Yummm.
You didn't think you were going to get away with only one photo of my granddaughter, did you? This is Laurel at 10 months.
Eve here now, but where to start? Bill has told you all of the news really but perhaps I can add a few comments.
First of all I'm fully in favour of having wwoofers to help on the farm. They've made things much easier for me and I don't have to worry so much about getting things done, especially in the garlic field. As Bill said, we've had a lovely mixture of young people here to help out. In spite of a neighbour telling us not to have under twenty year olds, this nationality and that, because they're lazy, useless etc., we have had very good experiences with all of them. Apart from being hard workers and lots of fun, we've had some very good cooks here too, so have tried many different ethnic foods.
One of the best things to happen this year is Bill giving Practice Review the old heave-ho. He is far more relaxed and happy with his new working life than he has been at least for the past two years. He even manages to take the odd afternoon off! Here's hoping that when we get our launch, he'll find even more time to relax.
My trip to England was quite leisurely. I spent time with Nigel in beautiful Dorset, and had a lovely few days there visiting stately homes and gardens with Vivienne, a family friend of the Heritages. We also had a great morning, Vivienne and I, ratting round in charity shops. We went back to Nigel's with some great bargains. I then went to visit my brother and sister-in-law near Tamworth. The countryside around there is very pretty, though in the circumstances we didn't go out very much. Next, I went on to stay with a friend in Port Sunlight which is a very interesting and attractive town, built originally by the Lever brothers (Sunlight soap) for their staff and their families.
Another train journey took me to Winchester to visit my cousin Geraldine and her husband Paul. It was great to see them again. Winchester is amazing and has a most beautiful old cathedral which was consecrated in 1093. There was a church there before that which was built around 600 AD (the Old Minster).
I then moved on to our friend June's home in Norfolk near Norwich and had seven or so days there doing her garden and going out with her to visit nature reserves and other beautiful places. We didn't go to the Broads this time.
After being home from my travels for about a fortnight, Bill took me to Fiji for my birthday. It had to be the best birthday present ever! He's told you enough about all that so I won't carry on.
This year has to be the best one for the vegetable garden and it's simply because I now have drip irrigation for it. It makes such a difference to just turn on the pump from the stream and leave the garden to soak up the water. Everything is growing very well although I haven't got everything planted yet.

All in all it's been a very interesting and enjoyable year but I feel as though I'm never going to catch up on all the things that need doing around here! At least I won't be away from home as much next year.
We wish all our friends and relations a very happy and healthy 2015.

Do not write about the refs.
That's the goal of today's column, even though I technically already failed. OK, so no writing about the refs starting . . . now.
Instead, let's look back at a scene from the beginning:
2013 AD: It's pre-game. NFL Countdown. And ESPN's exclusive broadcast team — Chris Berman, Mike Ditka, Keyshawn Johnson, Cris Carter, Tom Jackson, Trent Dilfer, Steve Young, Stuart Scott and Ray Lewis — is previewing the Patriots and Panthers. At this moment, they're introducing a segment called "Field Pass", where the roving cyborg camera zooms around spying on players as they warm up, and dramatic football opera plays in the background.
They open on Tom Brady:
Young: "He's finally got everyone he wanted. Nobody does more with less than Tom Brady, and he's done it through out this season. But getting to where the Pats offense is today, they're finally healthy, and this is where they really make the run."
That was the story surrounding Brady and the entire offense last night. Basically, this WAS the offense. Danny Amendola, Rob Gronkowski and Shane Vereen were all active. Kenbrell Thompkins and, especially, Aaron Dobson had/have graduated to another level. Sure, Sebastian Vollmer was still out, but he's not coming back. As far as this year goes, last night was the perfect picture of the Patriots offense. After months of wondering: What will it look like when everyone's healthy? This was the answer.
The camera moves on to Cam Newton (*something about proving himself*), and then Luke Kuechly (*something about his awesomeness*), before landing on Aqib Talib:
Stuart Scott: Richard Sherman and Darrelle Revis get the buzz, but is Aqib Talib in their class as a corner?
Tom Jackson: Stu, he's one of the best cornerbacks in this league. He's certainly in their class.
I don't often find myself saying this, but it's hard to argue with Jackson's answer. In other words, it's fair to say that last season, minutes before the deadline, Bill Belichick traded a fourth-round pick for one of the best cornerbacks in the league. One of the previously missing pieces to New England's Super Bowl puzzle.
Asante Samuel was a big time playmaker, but Talib, when healthy, can dominate a game like no Patriots cornerback since Ty Law. He's a shutdown corner, when healthy. When healthy. When healthy.
But he was healthy last night. At least for a little.
Next, they hit Steve Smith (*something about his rivalry with Talib*) before moving to a quick split screen of Aaron Dobson and Danny Amendola (*Cris Carter called him Edelman*). Finally, the camera did what cameras tend to do. It found Rob Gronkowski:
Mike Ditka: "He's a power forward in the NBA. Just a great, great receiver. This guy attacks the seams of the field as good as anybody. This guy's really good!"
If a healthy Talib is among the best corners in the league, then a healthy Gronk is THE best tight end. It was easy to forget that over the course of his drama-filled year, but in his short time back, Gronkowski's hammered that point back home. Just how good he is, in every aspect of the game, and how much better he makes this offense.
And that was it. Segment over. But ESPN did a great job of laying out the state of the Patriots. Heading into last night, and even more so after last night, you can probably boil their chances down to these three guys:
Brady: Is he hurt? He sure seems to be favoring his hand on the sidelines. But then again, he's also playing pretty well. Probably his best football of the season. Last night was Brady's first game all year completing more than 70 percent of his passes. Before that last second interception, he'd gone two full games without one.
You can understand why Brady was frustrated back in September, but at this point, the gang's all here. It's time to raise the offense to another level. And win or lose, especially considering the atmosphere and competition, last night was a step in the right direction.
It wasn't perfect. Stevan Ridley's fumble was terrifying. As dynamic as he is, how can you trust him in the playoffs? Other than that, they waited too long to get Gronkowski involved. And they also missed on a huge third and 1 in the fourth quarter, from the Panthers eight-yard line. A nothing play that ended with Brady throwing it out of the endzone, leaving the Pats to settle for a field goal (which they almost muffed) and a 20-17 lead.
But in general, watching the offense last night, it was obvious that the pieces are there. When everyone's healthy, Brady and Co. can run with anyone in the league. And in today's NFL, that means you always have a chance.
Talib: The best and most important defensive player on the roster. Even with the injuries to Vince Wilfork, Jerod Mayo and Tommie Kelly, Talib's presence is enough to get the Patriots defense to where it needs to be. Maybe not as good as they could have been, but still good enough to win. Belichick can work around him.
It's hard to say exactly how much last night's outcome would have changed if Talib had spent the fourth quarter on the field instead of once again injured on the bench, but I know this much is true: The Patriots can't win the Super Bowl without a healthy Aqib Talib.
Gronkowski: Funny how two of the three most significant players are also two of the batpoop craziest athletes in Boston. But in both cases, as long as Talib and Gronk are on the field, doing what they do, who cares? Talib wants to challenge every opposing receiver to an old-fashioned duel? Go ahead. Gronk wants to make cartoons and rap videos and throw out the occasional slur? Sure, why not.
Bottom line: If he's out there. If Talib's out there. And if Brady's healthy in the pocket and happy with his options, the Patriots are contenders.
That was true before last night's loss, and it's still true now.
As for the details of that loss, what can you say?
(WARNING: About to break my original promise)
This is the third time in a month that a Boston team has been on the wrong end of a controversial game-ending call. And it happened in three pretty big games. The pushing foul in Week 7 against the Jets. The obstruction call in Game 3 of the World Series. And now, the picked up flag in Carolina. Boston isn't alone, either. Check in on any sports fan across the country and I'm sure he or she can rattle off at least one recent game in which the home team was screwed over by controversial call. At this point, it happens so often that stuff like this is just an assumed risk of caring. Every once in a while, you're going to get screwed. Stuff happens. And when it does, all you can do is suck it up, and hope for the best.
And thankfully, you don't have to look very hard to find sources of hope in these Patriots. Through all of the referee drama, the truth is that the team that took the field last night in Carolina — with Brady in the shotgun, flanked by Vereen (he adds such an important dimension), Gronkowski, Amendola, Dobson and Edelman; and Aqib Talib roaming the secondary — is a legit contender. They're good enough to win.
The ultimate prize won't be easy. Not that it ever is. The Pats have suffered so many injuries. There's a lot of good competition. And who knows what hardships might lie ahead — especially with Talib's hip. But in the big picture, one bad call won't keep the Patriots out of the playoffs. They'll still win the division. Could it cost them a first round bye? Maybe. It may very well play a role. And that's too bad. But, it happened. It happens. It will happen again.
In the meantime, it feels like the NFL season is officially underway here in New England.
After two months of wondering what this team would eventually look like, and waiting for something real to hold onto, last night finally filled the void. It could have been better, the outcome might sting, but the message was clear: Stay healthy, and these guys can play with anyone.
They'll have another chance to prove it next week against Denver.

The Winscape Virtual Window Gives Your Home A Real Time View Of The San Francisco Bay From Any Perspective (video)
In "Total Recall" Arnold not only wakes up to a fine piece of tail (Sharon Stone), but his home has a virtual wall allowing him to watch TV or give him a view of the alps, the great lakes or whatever he fancies.
The Winscape system does something very comparable using two plasma TVs (two windows) and a tracking camera to present one user with a variety of virtual landscapes to stare at from any perspective in the room. (The video example below is quite stunning so skip to that if you want the real deets).
It's too bad the tracking beacon, which you have to wear around your neck so the camera knows who to follow and how to adjust the perspective is gargantuan in size – I'm confident they'll fix that when it soon comes to market this July.
But wait, there is more. What kind of system would it be if there wasn't an iPhone app. That's right, using your handset you can change the landscape and even experience what it is like to ride on some sort of Asian train.
Cost you ask? You're probably thinking like $20,000. Wrongzo. The Winscape system will cost as little as $2,500. Of course, keep in mind that is before installation, so it's probably safe to assume a few more Gs to get this thing jammed into your wall.

Chris Gragg, TE: Coach John L. Smith isn't sure if he'll have his tight end for Saturday's game, and it'd be a big loss for the Hogs if Gragg can't go. The 6-3, 340-pound senior is second on the team in receptions and yards, having caught 19 balls for 234 yards and 2 TDs so far this season. His size/speed combo also make him a tough guy to match up against, especially as he gets deeper down the field. If Gragg's leg proves too bruised for action Saturday, Aggie fans should consider that a big advantage.

Abstract Background Asthma is a common complex disease responsible for considerable morbidity and mortality, particularly in urban minority populations. The Mechanistic Indicators of Childhood Asthma study was designed to pilot an integrative approach in children's health research. The study incorporates exposure metrics, internal dose measures, and clinical indicators to decipher the biological complexity inherent in diseases such as asthma and cardiovascular disease with etiology related to gene-environment interactions. Methods/Design 205 non-asthmatic and asthmatic children, (9-12 years of age) from Detroit, Michigan were recruited. The study includes environmental measures (indoor and outdoor air, vacuum dust), biomarkers of exposure (cotinine, metals, total and allergen specific Immunoglobulin E, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, volatile organic carbon metabolites) and clinical indicators of health outcome (immunological, cardiovascular and respiratory). In addition, blood gene expression and candidate SNP analyses were conducted. Discussion Based on an integrative design, the MICA study provides an opportunity to evaluate complex relationships between environmental factors, physiological biomarkers, genetic susceptibility and health outcomes. Project approval IRB Number 05-EPA-2637: The human subjects' research protocol was reviewed by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) of the University of North Carolina; the IRB of Westat, Inc., the IRB of the Henry Ford Health System; and EPA's Human Subjects' Research Review Official.

What are the crime stats for Southend on Sea?
What are the crime stats for Southend on Sea?
Asked on Mar 1 2013, Safety & Crime in Leigh-on-Sea | Report content
Answers (1)
Hi NickyCaskey123, In the most basic terms, the crime levels in Southend-on-Sea are fairly average when compared to the rest of the UK. You can look at all of the statistics compiled and updated by visiting the site police.uk and having a search for the town you specify. To break down the stats a little more – Southend-on-Sea has seen a crime rate that has been largely stable over the last two years up until September 2012, with barely any change, but this keeps it below the national average. In January of this year, there were a reported 222 incidents of crime in the area, but 289 outcomes recorded by the police. Comparing the area to others of a similar size around England and Wales, it can be seen that the levels are largely average, existing in the lower band of mean levels. However, it has a higher crime rate than in Essex as a whole. Many thanks, Scott

Wales players have let Chris Coleman down - Ashley Williams
- Venue: Cardiff City Stadium
- Date: Friday 12 October
- Kick-off: 19:45 BST
Coverage: Live coverage on BBC Radio Wales, BBC Radio Cymru, BBC Radio Scotland 810MW and on the BBC Sport website. Highlights on Match of the Day Wales on BBC Two Wales at 23:00 BST
New Wales captain Ashley Williams says the team's main motivation for beating Scotland on Friday will be under-pressure manager Chris Coleman.
The Swansea City defender believes the players, and not Coleman, were to blame for the recent 6-1 defeat in Serbia.
Ashley Williams
"We need to win the game for him as well ourselves and the country."
Wales go into the must-win game against the Scots bottom of their qualifying group for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
"We feel like we kind of let him down a little bit on the pitch to be honest," admitted centre-half Williams.
"We really want to win the game for him because we know he is under a little bit of pressure.
"He has come under criticism, which people are going to do because of the results, but we feel it's a little bit unfair because it's not really his fault. It's more ours."
No manager of Wales has lost their first five games in charge. However, Coleman, who took over as boss following the death of Gary Speed, has seen his first four matches all end in defeat.
Wales have not lost their first three games in a World Cup qualifying campaign since 1968-69 either. Yet they have already been beaten by Belgium and Serbia this time around.
Football Association of Wales chief executive Jonathan Ford has backed Coleman ahead of the Group A games against Scotland and Croatia, which takes place in Osijek next Tuesday.
According to Williams, who has taken over the captaincy from Aaron Ramsey, the players have followed suit.
"Everyone is really happy with him and I can speak for the rest of the lads," said the former Wolverhampton Wanderers defender.
"We need to win the game for him as well ourselves and the country. That will be in the back of our heads come game time."
Coleman, who will be without the likes of Craig Bellamy and Adam Matthews for the qualifier against Scotland, has conceded his team have to play well at the Cardiff City Stadium after the Serbian debacle.
"We all know that we owe a performance," he insisted. "We are in debt now to our country, to our supporters. When you perform like that and you take the hiding which we did, that's on all our CVs.
"All we can do is go into the next game, be determined and show what we are made off. The signs this week have been very good."

brazil has a population approaching 200 million.
are you saying that has nothing to do with their success and they would be just as good with a population of 3 million?
size always matters.
Comment number 97. Posted by LeChuckon 12 Oct 2012 22:12
94. 50,000, registered yes,let alone all the kids available.
Remind me again...how many can take to the pitch at one time? 11? Trust me, a good coach could mould a damn good team of 11 from a pool that size! Quality teaching rather than quantity playing.

hah Jdavidh, nice comments. the bottom line is we are a minnow in football , a giant in rugby, and a leader in farming.
As for your lot, The FA turning over a quarter of a billion and all you can win is the toss. Your rugby union has 2000 member clubs , we have 293. so put that in your chariot, smoke it well and toddle off home china

not sure why the population argument is 'laughable' as it obviously has an impact. i think wales are in the smallest 3 or 4 nations to ever qualify.
also to compare them to uruguay is hardly damning. uruguay are the 'greatest' of the small nations to play the game.
wales has 50,000 registered male footballers. uruguay has 240,00.
size always matters.

Wales just aren't good enough, nothing to do with population, we don't have the strength in depth to compete consistently. However, it's never been our concentration - I'd say that England are much worse off, it the national sport, they have world class players and they can't win anything! The welsh boys have the same number of medals, just more summer holidays :)
Comment number 91. Posted by LeChuckon 12 Oct 2012 18:09
90. Population argument is pitiful, but don't be too quick to use it as a stick to beat Wales with. Wales have recognised the importance of quality youth development and at least have reacted positively to make changes, they've implemented radical changes since 1997 which are now coming to the fore.
Comment number 90. Posted by Jdavidhon 12 Oct 2012 17:56
the population argument is pitiful. Uruguay have a 3m population and are laughably better than Wales all across the park, easily one of the best teams in the world.
If Wales lose against Scotland they might as well pack in the whole football thing.

73 Stephen Marsh "...always used to wish fellow British national teams well, but having interacted with football fans of both countries today, I've experienced a sea change. I now hope the ref wins."
Football's mob culture breeds hatred, bigotry, jealousy and greed and brings out the worst in so many. Now you know why Scots and Welsh fans hate England fans.
Comment number 85. Posted by greyhoundon 12 Oct 2012 17:12
You neatly sidestepped the All Blacks point.
The Welsh rugby team of the 70s and the Scottish football team of the same period shows that these nations can compete with the best in the world.
Great to see a resurgence in the Welsh rugby national team.
The low population wasn't an issue then-why is it now?
Comment number 84. Posted by THIS IS THE NEWSon 12 Oct 2012 17:09
Two countries whose football is somehow worse than that of Englands. That's impressive in itself to be honest and i'll be watching the match out of morbid curiosity.
Comment number 83. Posted by The Realiston 12 Oct 2012 17:03
The sooner Wales gets rid of the Cardiff influence the better, everybody knows that the newly built Swansea Youth Academy is the only chance the nation has.
Also, I have to laugh at the English fans here... they know they can't say anything to the French, Italians, Germans etc... so they pick on a little nation like Wales. How noble of them!
Comment number 82. Posted by ioanteifion 12 Oct 2012 16:58
@79, population size is most certainly a factor in a country's potential. Are you saying that a country such as Lichtenstein with a population of around 35,000 isn't hampered by their tiny player pool? There are other factors as well such as the country's prosperity and the facilities they've got or how popular football is in the country. India for example severely lacks in the last two.
Comment number 81. Posted by amcdeeeeeon 12 Oct 2012 16:33
I think you'll find that's the wrong way round Mr Williams. Coleman has long been past his sell by date having been sacked by Coventry and then turning up in the Greek 2nd Division only to leave Larissa less than six months later.
Wales need to get him out before he undoes all the good things Speedo managed during his brief reign. RIP Gary

Well said
The population argument perpetuates the victim outlook.
Look at Rugby Union-All Blacks World Champs.Population 4 million
Comment number 79. Posted by LeChuckon 12 Oct 2012 16:09
Population size is an irrelevence to the quality available. It's a myth that's been used to explain away small player pools and poor results for far too long by pundits who have nothing constructive to say.

The other fossils they found included teeth, which are taller than their ancestors' and with crowns worn flattermore signs the horses had adapted to a grazing life. Analyses of the isotopic composition of the enamel confirmed that E. woldegabrieli subsisted on grass.
"Grasses are like sandpaper," Simpson said. "They wear the teeth down and leave a characteristic signature of pits and scratches on the teeth so we can reliably reconstruct their ancient diets."
Horse expert Raymond L. Bernor, from the Laboratory of Evolutionary Biology at the Howard University College of Medicine in Washington D.C., led the fossil analysis. The bones, which remain at the National Museum of Ethiopia in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, showed this was a significantly different animal than the horses more than 5 million years old, and those 3.5 million years old and younger. Members of the youngest group are taller and have longer noses, further adaptations to the open grasslands, the researchers say.
Members of the two paleontological projects decided to name the species in honor of WoldeGabriel, a geologist at Los Alamos National Laboratory. They want to recognize the high professional regard he's earned from peers and his many contributions in unraveling the geological complexities of the deposits in the Ethiopian Rift system where fossils of some of our oldest human ancestors have been found
WoldeGabriel, who was not involved in the analysis of the fossil horse, is the project geologist for the Middle Awash project in Ethiopia.
"Giday oversees the sedimentology, geochronology and volcanology and how the Middle Awash Valley in the Afar rift is changing shape," Simpson said. He praised WoldeGab

CHENGDU, China, May 20 /Xinhua-PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Tianyin Pharmaceutical, Co., Inc., (OTC Bulletin Board: TYNP), a manufacturer and supplier of modernized traditional Chinese medicine ("TCM") based in Chengdu, China, today announced that it signed over 60 new distribution agreements with a total of 15 regional distributors, including both new and previously contracted distributors.
Many of these agreements, which are for a term of one year, were signed with several of the Company's top 10 distributors from 2007. Newly engaged distributors include Sichuan Kelun Medicine & Trade Co., Ltd. and Zhejiang Huadong Medicine Co., Ltd. Based upon the results of previous years' agreements, and expected results from the new agreements, management believes that all of the 2008 distribution agreements have the potential to generate over an aggregate of $10 million in product orders, which would represent a 20% increase over the results received from last year's distribution agreements.
The distribution agreements cover 27 existing products from last year's agreements and 1 newly launched drug, the Azithromycin Dispersible Tablet, which is used for Upper and lower respiratory tract infections and other bacterial infections in the skin and reproductive system. The Company's two flagship products, Arpu Shuangxin Oral Liquid and Ginkgo Mihuan Oral Liquid, along with any other new drugs that we launch during 2008 are not included in the distribution agreements discussed herein.
"This accomplishment is significant for several reasons and
demonstrates Tianyin Pharmaceutical's ability to expand its geographic
footprint and distribution channels for both existing and new products.
This will help us to gain incremental market share, which will ultimately
drive future revenue growth. We recently initiated production to fulfill
orders for the 28 products referenced above and anticipate initial
contribution from these agreements during the fourth quarter of f

Pruitt Ford month-long sales event aids area volunteer fire departments
By Lee Grace
Classified Writer
Twenty-eight area volunteer fire departments received donations during May from Pruitt Ford during the Burkburnett dealership's month-long Volunteer Fire Department Benefit Sales Event. According to Jeff Kindt, general manager of Pruitt Ford, the dealership raised more than $13,000 for the area fire departments.
"Everyone who purchased a vehicle during May was asked to designate an area fire department and we then donated $100 to that fire department," explained Kindt. "With the hot weather we've been experiencing, these area volunteer fire departments have been busy fighting numerous blazes and they will continue being busy throughout the hot summer fire season. We felt this was a way to show our support and help them, in a small way, with their funding needs."
The volunteer fire depart ments receiving checks included Henrietta, Waurika, Newcastle, Charlie/Thornberry, Devol, Windthorst, Wichita East, Wichita West, Burkburnett, Lakeside City, Iowa Park, Bellevue, Vernon, Frederick, Golinda, Nocona Rural, Temple, Archer City, Bowie, Lawton East Side, Electra, Holliday, Graham, Grandfield, Randalett, Cashion, Olney, and Harrold.
"We are very proud of all of the volunteers who donate their time and risk their lives to protect homes and property in the North Texas and Southern Oklahoma area," said Kindt. "Everyone at Pruitt Ford here in Burkburnett salute these volunteers and we also thank all of our wonderful customers who purchased a vehicle from our dealership during May and helped us with this benefit program."
