|Fast Break: Celtics snap losing streak, beat Raptors
|01.18.12 at 9:56 pm ET
The Celtics have been desperate for a strong start and they finally got one on Wednesday against Toronto, opening up a 21-7 lead and making nine of their first 16 shots. They rode that early lead through some rough patches in the second quarter and earned a much-needed 96-73 win over Toronto, snapping a five-game losing streak.
It wasn't all good for the Celtics as Rajon Rondo was put on the ground by Linas Kleiza with a hard foul late in the third quarter. Rondo landed awkwardly on his right wrist and didn't return to the game. Kleiza was originally assessed a Flagrant-2 foul on the play, but it was downgraded to a Flagrant-1 after a review.
The Celtics opened up a 29-14 lead in the first quarter and while they eventually cooled down, the Raptors didn't have nearly enough offense to make up the ground with leading scorer Andrea Bargnani out of the lineup with a strained left calf. However the win came, the Celtics will take it. They're back in action on Friday against the Suns.
— Rajon Rondo didn't get his first assist until the 6:01 mark of the third quarter, but it was hard to argue with his floor game. Rondo went to the basket repeatedly and made seven of his first eight shots. He also went to the free throw line seven times in the first half and made five.
— Kevin Garnett came out aggressive with six points in the first four minutes and 10 points by halftime. Garnett finished with 15 points and seven rebounds and while he's still having trouble finishing inside, this continued a run of stronger games for Garnett.
— Paul Pierce only scored eight points but he had seven assists and four rebounds. With Rondo looking to score, Pierce played the role of facilitator and did it well.
— The Celtics hit the defensive glass and didn't turn the ball over. A very good combination.
— Mickael Pietrus and Brandon Bass formed an effective two-man bench, combing for all 19 points for the reserves prior to fourth quarter garbage time. Pietrus finished with 12 points, all on 3-pointers and Bass had 13 and nine rebounds.

|Irish Coffee: Four Paul Pierce Celtics trade scenarios
|at 3:48 pm ET
By now, you've probably heard Yahoo! Sports columnist Adrian Wojnarowski's report that "several contending teams" have contacted the Celtics to gauge Paul Pierce's availability on the trade market.
- As Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen become free agents this summer, money will peel away from the salary cap. Between then and now, the bigger question promises to be: Does ownership and general manager Danny Ainge go for the complete rebuild and trade Pierce before the March 15 deadline? Several contending teams have inquired about Pierce's availability. As one Eastern Conference official said, there are 'lots of calls asking if [Boston] will blow it up.'
Based upon 42 comments Tuesday on WEEI.com about this item, fans fall into two camps: 1) Those who can't handle The Truth being traded; and 2) Those who'd send the captain's ship sailing for the right package in return.
Ainge falls into the latter camp, if only because he's said time and again over the past year that nobody is off limits in his attempt to keep the Celtics relevant in this post-Big Three era. His sole goal is to avoid watching Pierce, Garnett and Allen grow old and gray in green as Larry Bird, Kevin McHale and Robert Parish did in the 1990s.
Heck, Ainge explored trades involving Pierce prior to Garnett and Allen's arrival, when the captain was in the midst of his prime, so why would he be afraid to pull the trigger on the right deal involving a now 34-year-old Pierce with a $32 million price tag over the next two seasons? Just because teams are calling doesn't mean Ainge has to listen, but here are four deals that might keep him on the phone. Read the rest of this entry »
|Celtics encouraged despite losing five straight
|01.17.12 at 10:13 am ET
Monday night's loss to the upstart Thunder marked the first time in the Big Three era that the team has lost five straight games, and it's also the second time in the young season that Boston has lost three games in the span of four days. Even though the natural inclination is to panic, collectively the Celtics feel the team is improving.
"I really like the effort we had tonight," said Paul Pierce. "I was the telling the guys if we compete like that night in and night out — we'll get closer to where we want to be."
Certainly it's easy to point to Boston's 4-8 record and feel underwhelmed at any notion of optimism, but the Celtics are starting to click individually. Now, the team needs to find some semblance of consistency.
"We're still chasing putting four quarters of good basketball together," said Kevin Garnett, who finished with 12 points and 12 rebounds against the Thunder. "I know y'all are probably tired of hearing this, and I'm sure if y'all rewind your tapes, I'm in a different outfit saying the same thing, but we're going to continue to work and we're going to continue to get this thing better. I really believe that, and you've got to believe that."
Ray Allen and Brandon Bass helped carry Boston earlier this season. Bass, in particular, was a pleasant surprise. Through the first seven games of the season he averaged 14 points off the bench. However, during this five-game losing streak, Bass has seen his production cut in half, only averaging 7.4 points per game.
|Kendrick Perkins: 'I'm just really glad it's over'
|at 1:50 am ET
After playing his first game against his former teammates since being traded for Jeff Green last February, Thunder big man Kendrick Perkins didn't hesitate when asked if part of him still felt like a Celtic.
"Yeah," said Perkins, the C's starting center during the 2008 NBA title and 2010 NBA Finals runs. "I mean, I have much love and I'm greatly appreciative about being in Oklahoma and stuff like that — I love Oklahoma — but being here for eight years and winning a championship, it's hard to replace it. Just from what I learned, it's still got a special place in my heart here. That's all it is.'
A night that included a Jumbotron montage in his honor and a rousing standing ovation from the Garden crowd clearly affected Perkins, who finished with seven points and five rebounds in a 97-88 Oklahoma City victory. Here's what he had to say in his postgame press conference. Read the rest of this entry »
|For starters, Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett need to get it going
|01.14.12 at 9:19 am ET
The "Big 3" of Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett have been the backbone of the Celtics title runs in the last four seasons, winning it all in 2008, coming within a Game 7 of another in 2010 and getting to the second round of the playoffs in '09 and last spring.
All three admitted Friday night after losing to the younger, more energetic Bulls, if they don't help get the team off to better starts in games, they're going nowhere.
"It's up to the starters, and myself, to play better basketball at the start of games," Pierce said. 'I think we started to play better defense, and move the ball a lot better, but the bottom line is we can't dig ourselves these holes in the first quarter. It seems like it's getting repetitive every game, the starters need to do a better job with getting better starts. The last couple of games we've gotten off to poor starts and half to scratch and claw our way back and exert so much energy that by the time we catch up with them our guys are tired and can't get over the hump.
'I have to play better for us to win ball games and I realize that. Right now we're going through a little lull, and we've just got to get through it.'
Pierce, Allen and Garnett combined to shoot 6-for-18 in the first half Friday, as the Celtics fell behind by 19 points at halftime.
"It's very concerning," Allen said. "Look at the stats for tonight, in the second, third and fourth, we picked up our scoring. It's the five starters, we have to have better starts."
"Slow start, they came out firing on all cylinders and created a hole for ourselves early," Garnett said. "For any team, you can't really do that. Second half was obviously a better effort. Somehow, someway we've got to figure out starting games with a lot more energy. You're probably getting tired of hearing that and it's repetitive but it's something we have to act on and do. This ain't perfect and we're going to continue to work.
Garnett started the game by missing his first six shots, including 0-of-5 in the first half.
"Frustration starts with the man in the mirror," Garnett said. "I definitely have to do better, I'm going to do better, watch tons of film and just continue to better myself and that's all I can do. I'll continue to encourage teammates and continue to be the glue, or one of the pieces of the glue and just stay supportive. You don't win anything in the first month, I do know that."

|Mickael Pietrus makes his Celtics debut and maintains: 'I'm here to win a championship'
|01.12.12 at 12:38 pm ET
Mickael Pietrus said on Monday he thought he might be able to play five or 10 minutes in his Celtics debut Wednesday against the Mavericks. He added he would play as much as the team needed him.
Turned out the Celtics, trying desperately to find a spark off the bench, needed him much more than even Doc Rivers might have imagined. Rivers put him in for the still-struggling Paul Pierce with 1:25 left in the first quarter and immediately noticed a boost.
'He was phenomenal," Rivers said. "I thought we was one of our best players in the game. He clearly gave our team energy. Played hard. Turned the ball. He's exactly what we need. And it's just going to get better. Even if it didn't, I'd take it. Really, he was terrific. He really was. His energy, his joy ' he brought joy to the game. You know, you can just see it. He was so happy to play, and really the only reason he came out was because he was dying. He was getting tired and I had to take him out.'
Rivers took him out 6:04 left in the fourth after 18 hard minutes. Pietrus was 2-of-5 from the field, with one rebound, four fouls and five points. But it was the intangible of energy that meant the most to Rivers. Pietrus, who hit his first shot – a 3-pointer – just over a minute into the second quarter, felt immediately that his style will fit in with these Celtics.
'We have a lot of energy, a lot of focus," Pietrus said. "You know offensively we still have to step up with a lot of new guys, including myself, and it will take time, but we are going to get it done.
'Anytime I step on the floor I'm trying to give the team my heart. The Celtics are my heart now. And that's why I thought people on the Celtics are going to play harder. I tell you everything that's what I'm going to bring every night and I'm not going to lie to you, I'm here to win a championship."
|Celtics at a loss to explain slow starts
|01.07.12 at 2:07 pm ET
Rajon Rondo pushed the ball forward trying to lead a Celtics fast break as time was running out in the first half of Friday night's game against the Pacers. Indiana thwarted any easy opportunities for the Boston point guard by getting back on defense. Rondo pulled the ball out to just beyond midcourt to receive instruction from coach Doc Rivers. Less than 10 seconds remained, though, and the Celtics found themselves out of sorts offensively. Rondo was trapped by two Indiana defenders and was forced to pass the ball to Kevin Garnett, who launched a wild, off-balance jumper to end the half.
The TD Garden crowd serenaded the Celtics with boos while they left the court with their heads hung low. The possession exemplified Boston's dreadful 25-point first-half output. The anemic offensive display tied a franchise record set in 1995 and repeated in 1999.
"It sucks to be on the wrong side of history," Ray Allen said. "Especially with the firepower we have, you never think we could score so few points. We can always look back and remember this game."
Allen, who missed Wednesday's game against the Nets due to flu-like symptoms, remarkably was the game's high scorer at halftime with eight points. As a team, Boston shot 9-of-34 (26.5 percent) from the field in the first half. Nine of those 34 attempts came from Paul Pierce, who struggled mightily, only hitting one attempt.
Boston's captain finished the game with 10 points on 3-of-17 shooting, to go along with a team-high five turnovers (three of which came in the first half). Even though Pierce didn't convert his opportunities, he was satisfied with the looks he got at the basket. "I took a lot of good shots tonight," Pierce said. "They just didn't fall, but I feel good about [the shot selection]."
Rondo made no excuses for his team's performance Friday night, but he noted that Pierce's shooting struggles were something he doesn't think the 13-year veteran will replicate going forward. Meanwhile, Jermaine O'Neal said a rare break in the schedule will give the Celtics an opportunity to sharpen their offensive execution in practice, something the compacted season has made difficult with limited off days.
Perhaps more alarming for Boston is that this is the second consecutive game the team has struggled to produce offense in the first half. Wednesday against New Jersey, the Celtics scored a paltry 34 points through 24 minutes. The Nets were playing without two starters (Deron Williams and Kris Humphries), and were only able to counter Boston with a woeful 35-point effort themselves. The Celtics found their groove offensively and would go on to enjoy 55-point second half, cruising to an 89-70 victory.

The influence of the enchytraeid species Cognettia sphagnetorum on N mineralization in homogenized mor humus was examined in a laboratory study. The mor humus was incubated in containers (150 ml) for 8 months at various temperatures and with different moisture levels. Two series were used, one with C. sphagnetorum and one without. The presence of enchytraeids in the cultures increased the level of NH4 + and NO3 - by about 18% compared with the cultures without enchytraeids. Almost 40% of this difference was explained by the decomposition of dead enchytraeids. Temperature and soil moisture were the most important factors controlling the mineralization rate. The optimum moisture for N mineralization was between pF 1.6 and 1.1.

6. 69While it's sometimes hard to concentrate when the heat gets turned up, this personal, up-close interaction has a way of getting both parties really amped up for intercourse. Once you really figure out the best position for this one -- on top of one another or laying on your sides -- it can be an intimate and orgasmic experience for both.
What makes it hot for her: "She loves to feel him throbbing in her mouth -- it turns her on," says House. "The 69 position is more than the sensations you are actually feeling, it's also the gratification of tasting how much pleasure you are giving to your partner."
What makes it hot for him: "Anytime a man and woman agree on something that brings them both pleasure, they become closer and feelings of intimacy deepen," says Dr. Sonjia. "In addition, tasting, smelling, and pleasing each other can be even more intimate than intercourse because tastes and smells can be powerful aphrodisiacs and these senses are not always stimulated during intercourse."

Chickahominy YMCA offering meals to needy students
Citizen Staff Reports 07/10/12
To ensure that children in the Greater Richmond and Petersburg areas have access to food year-round, the Chickahominy Family YMCA in Sandston is offering free healthy meals and snacks through its summer food program, thanks to a $5,000 grant funded by the Walmart Foundation.
The Y has partnered with the Walmart Foundation to address child hunger in communities, with a focus on increasing participation in the USDA's Summer Food Service Program (SFSP), which provides free meals to children aged 18 and under while school is out. According to the Food Research and Action Center, only one in seven children who depend on free or reduced-cost meals during the school year received meals though the SFSP last summer.
At the Chickahominy Family YMCA, children will receive two meals and a snack each day. This summer, more than 300 Ys nationwide will offer summer food programs with a collective goal to serve five million healthy meals and snacks to 100,000 children.
Nationally, the Y is a partner in the Walmart Foundation's 2012 Summer Giving Campaign, which has committed more than $20 million in grants to expand nutrition, learning and employment programs for elementary, middle and high school students in more than 350 communities. The Walmart Foundation contributed a $5 million grant to YMCA of the USA (Y-USA) to address child hunger. Y-USA, in turn, passes the funding along in the form of grants to participating YMCAs.

Good food and fun, bargain prices
Pelon's serves up a good mix of variety, value
I first stumbled into Pelon's on a Wednesday night, lured by the promise of $2 tacos and beers. At those prices, I had assumed the place was a hole in the wall, and was pleasantly surprised by the spacious, pleasant interior.
Having spent my teen summers in Virginia Beach surfing, I also felt instantly at home amid the ocean-themed decor. From the ride-the-waves posters lining the walls and the TV displaying non-stop surfing footage, to the foosball table and enormous spools serving as tables, Pelon's is a delight for beach lovers and surfing fans. Reading the menu is part of the entertainment here, as patrons browse burrito choices that include Rip Tide, The Curl, Hawaiian Pipeline and Big Kahuna. > Read more.

Started in the field of Data Processing when I joined the Air Force in 1961 where we wired boards and used punched cards for producing flight line reports. After getting out of the Air Force I went to work for Standard Oil/ Chevron Research and it was there we got the first transistorized machine in California. Memory size was 8k (yes 8k not 8meg) with 4 tape drives. Programmed this in Autocoder and needless to say you had to be very stingy with your code.

"Pop's" was a good person. He would give his last $2 for a friend in need. He trade to help everyone he knew in any way possible if they needed it (and even if they didn't).
But the youth was where his heart was at (other than his family). He would spend hours on end at the fields to make sure everything was alright. He would draft the kids that were "at risk youth" and kids who were from the wrong side of the tracks. He was one of those kids so he knew what they were feeling. He would help groom them into responsible young men that always showed respect. He would do it by showing them respect he felt they deserved as people and NEVER yelling at them. He would simply talk to them, man to man.
My grandparents raised me. They are my mom and dad as far as I am concerned. My mom had me @ 17 and my biological father bolted when he found out my mom was pregnant. My grandfather was my dad, best friend, confidant and my life's teacher.
My 1st year playing LL Baseball I was 7 going on 8. When I tried out they wanted to draft me to the "Majors" because I was better than most of the kids in the Minors OR Majors (they was no "Farm Div") despite being one of the shortest kids in the league. He didn't allow them to do so because he wanted to coach me for at least a year and wanted me to get a feel for the game. By the time I was 10 when I went up.
The team I was on was mostly made up of Mexicans and African-Americans, with a couple white kids. Well, when I was 12 we were playing a team that we were battling for the title (which we had won the previous 2 years). The umpire was a young kid who looked about 19. He made a comment to a parent before the game started. He said "I won't let that "spic" team get the win today, watch what I do".
I was pitching the first 4 innings that day. I threw countless balls RIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE and he called them balls. While their pitcher got EVERY CALL. There were plays were we beat out balls hit to the infield but he called us out.
After the game he looked over at my grandfather (who was Italian American) and said "take that ghetto team back to the projects where they belong old man". My grandfather LOST IT. The ump was about 6'2, 200lbs while my grandpa was in early/mid 60's 5'8, 165 (but was a Golden Gloves boxer). Poppa went after him, he grabbed him by the shirt collar lifted him up against the fence and was just about to deck him when he heard our other coach say "he's only 17 Joe, DON'T"! He released him to the ground and the kid ran off to a waiting car.
He was suspended for 6 games, and as a team we went on to win all 6 games by an averaging 25 runs a game. We played for him. He defended us. Later that year at the closing ceremonies he won "sportsman of the year". LOL! It was great.
When I came back from college after I found out my then girlfriend (now wife) was pregnant with our daughter, my family was scared to tell him and scared for me to tell him. They thought he would disown me because she is African-American. It was a Tuesday night and he was painting our town house. It was me and him, alone. I told him. I wasn't nervous, I wasn't afraid, I was what he raised me to be, a man.
He was more excited then anyone else. He wanted my wife to move in and wanted me to marry her. I told him that I would, but not because she was pregnant, and I did. He loved her and all our kids as he loved me.
My grandparents moved back to Wisconsin in 2004.
When he was dieing I had to fly back to Milwaukee. I wasn't going to not be there for him. He had dementia and didn't remember anyone other than 1 of my cousins some times. But when I walked in his hospital room at the V.A. Hospital, and when he seen me, he smiled, and tried to sit up and started breathing harder. He knew who I was and we talked. He said in a tired voice "I aint going any where" when I told him it was Ok to go home (to heaven). He just kept touching my face. It was a shock to see me standing there to him. It was a day we both wished we had more often in the year after he moved to Wisconsin.
His room looked right into Miller Park. He was in the hospice section (I think the 3rd floor) and you could see right into center field. Only grandpa could have a view like that. Joe Di'Maggio was his favorite player growing up and loved that I also player CF.
Later that night we came back to the hospital and he wanted me, and only me to hold his hand as he fell asleep. I did. On November 3rd my grandma, mom, sister and I went back to see him. They wanted to eat and I wasn't hungry so I stayed with him in the room. He woke up and seen me. I told him that I loved him, he was my best friend and hero and I thanked him for being my father and teaching me how to be a man. He looked at me, with his beautiful face and said "I love you too". Those were the last words he ever said to me.
Sorry if I went on to long about him, and tearing up as I write this, but he was my Pal. He was the one person that could always relate to me and have my back no matter if I was right or wrong. He taught me to put God and my family first and everything else second. he taught me it was ok for a man to cry and show emotion.
When I started to write the rumors 6 or 7 years ago, he was my biggest fan. He would listen to the calls I would get and read the e-mails and just say that pro sports is a crazy business. He would read all the detractors and doubters and just say "have thick skin and don't respond, unless they get personal". I took his advice and still use it to this day.
He touched my life, but I was amazed at how many other lives he impacted. Every player that he coached while coaching me, still called him "Grandpa" till the day he passed on. He may be passed on, but his legacy will last forever.
Dictionary is the only place that success comes before work.
Hard work is the price we must pay for success.
I think you can accomplish anything if you're willing to pay the price

Good story Joe.
You just might be a perfect fit for this place. Look around- we rag each other constantly...we fight, call each other names, etc.
We all get along incredibly well, and we went through the whole Brett thing, just like everyone else. It will also surprise and amaze just how many PC folk are here, just under a different "guise".
This is a fantastic forum, you only need to give it a week or two--seriously..

Arrigo, whenever a newly arrived Packer fan finds his way into this den of iniquity, I usually launch into a diatribe on the evils of cheese.
But I shall forego that for now.
Reading the narrative of your Grandfather truly touched my soul.
A man may acquired many materialistic things in his passage through life, but nothing can compare with the true legacy of what values and influence he passes on when his journey is done.
And your Grandfather lived a very rich life indeed.
The well deserved respect and admiration that you give to him is a testament to a very good life lived.
No better epitaph can be given than "He was good and honorable man".
And it looks like that values that he instilled in you, are being carried on.
I can definitely say that it would have been a true honor to have met your Grandfather.
There are some very good and knowledgeable people here, even if the vast majority are Packers fans.
And welcome to this forum. It is a pretty good place, too many cheeseheads, but overall not too bad.

first of all - welcome to the site, joe!
secondly - thank you for sharing so much of yourself with us. as a woman, i thought it was a rare quality to find in a man. since joining this site, i have found that to be completely untrue.
and finally - i also lost the man who taught me morals, values, my love of the packers, how to work, & how to be a loving person. i share your pain & rejoice in your memories!

Fish populations are increasingly being subjected to anthropogenic changes to their sensory environments. The impact of these changes on inter- and intra-specific communication, and its evolutionary consequences, has only recently started to receive research attention. A disruption of the sensory environment is likely to impact communication, especially with respect to reproductive interactions that help to maintain species boundaries. Aquatic ecosystems around the world are being threatened by a variety of environmental stressors, causing dramatic losses of biodiversity and bringing urgency to the need to understand how fish respond to rapid environmental changes. Here, we discuss current research on different communication systems (visual, chemical, acoustic, electric) and explore the state of our knowledge of how complex systems respond to environmental stressors using fish as a model. By far the bulk of our understanding comes from research on visual communication in the context of mate selection and competition for mates, while work on other communication systems is accumulating. In particular, it is increasingly acknowledged that environmental effects on one mode of communication may trigger compensation through other modalities. The strength and direction of selection on communication traits may vary if such compensation occurs. However, we find a dearth of studies that have taken a multimodal approach to investigating the evolutionary impact of environmental change on communication in fish. Future research should focus on the interaction between different modes of communication, especially under changing environmental conditions. Further, we see an urgent need for a better understanding of the evolutionary consequences of changes in communication systems on fish diversity.

As soon as the recovery is well under way, we need to set up a long-term plan to reduce the structural deficit and make sure we are not leaving a mountain of debt for the next generation.
Barack Obama
Contributed by: Samme
The abandonment of the gold standard made it possible for the welfare statists to use the banking system as a means to an unlimited expansion of credit. In the absence of the gold standard, there is no way to protect savings from confiscation through inflation. There is no safe store of value. Deficit spending is simply a scheme for the hidden confiscation of wealth. Gold stands in the way of this insidious process. It stands as a protector of property rights. If one grasps this, one has no difficulty in understanding the statists' antagonism toward the gold standard.

NetBeans 7.0 M2 and Maven 3 - Better than M2Eclipse? (Gunther Popp)
The EclipseLink team, is organizing a Development Summit in Ottawa. This 3-day event (May 25th to May 27th) will provide detailed technical information on the project. Doug Clarke, the organizer, is inviting committers, contributors, and consumers. In addition to Doug, presenters include GordonYorke, TomWare, MikeKeith and PeterKrogh. The Summit page keeps a list of attendees; also see the original invitation.
EclipseLink is, of course, the JPA 2.0 Reference Implementation and the default JPA Provider used in GlassFish v3. EclipseLink is also available separatedly (Downloads, Maven).
I'm going to try to corral an EclipseLink volunteer to report regularly here... we will see.
The MySQL Users Conference is April 20-23rd in Santa Clara, CA and we are all getting ready for it. Dups has one of the longest preps - he is traveling (by train and bus) from Montreal in his North American Tour visiting Universities around the way.
Arun only needs to drive across town to present about GlassFish and MySQL, and he has been building up the demo material for his session - see his note on how to use EclipseLink on GlassFish to do pagination on MySQL - he will present at 3pm on Tue, Apr 21st.
On my side, I don't have any sessions but I'll be there to meet community, partners and customers, specially around GlassFish and Hudson.
One more JavaEE 6 specification in Proposed Final Draft: Linda has announced the availability of JPA 2.0 PFD. This draft includes a number of significant changes, including the replacement of an earlier version of criteria API with a typesafe API, support for validation, and a metamodel API.
As pointed by Linda, the changes to the criteria API and the new metamodel API came through a proposal from Gavin to the EG; a great example of how the EG can pool the expertise from experts in the Java community, regardless of their company affiliation.
Download the PFD spec from the JSR 317 site and give feedback to the EG on this one... and the others that will follow as JavaOne is playing its usual role of forcing function.
GlassFish v3 uses EclipseLink as the default JPA provider but it supports Hibernate equally well, and, thanks to the benefits of IPS and the UpdateCenter, that's just a click away: just fire the updatetool and clicking on the package.
For more details - but just a few more, there is really not much to tell - check on Mitesh's writeup.
During the break, I noticed that the Bean Validation spec had gone into Public Review Draft. That spec is the last of the batch being considered for JavaEE 6. Below is a full list based on a pass through JCP (will adjust if I missed any); all of them are either in PRD or past it; the only exception is Java EE 6 itself (JSR 316) which, by definition, lags them all.
(Gavin King,
Some of these specs have already been voted on: EJB 3.1 (results) and JPA 2.0 (results); for some others the vote starts on Jan 6th: JCA 1.6, Servlet 3.0, JSF 2.0, and a last batch starts on Feb 3rd: Bean Validation, WebBeans.
JPA 2.0 went into Public Review Draft on Nov 14 (announcement, JSR 317, download) and Linda is writing short summaries of its key features. The latest is on the Criteria API (Chapter 5 in the spec), a non-string-based API for the dynamic construction of object-based queries.
Linda introduces the Criteria API and then shows how to use it for her earlier JPQL 2 Examples. Also check out these mini-prezos: Linda on JPA 2.0 and Gordon on EclipseLink. Send feedback to jsr-317-pdr-feedback at sun dot com. Also see other posts tagged as JavaEE6.
The Expert Group for JPA (JSR 317) has released its Public Review Draft, and, Linda, the EG lead, has written a Summary of the major changes in the JPQL, including:
• Extensions to the "." operator for improved navigation
The expert group is soliciting feedback at jsr-317-pdr-feedback at sun dot com. Linda promises a follow-up blog entry describing the changes to the Criteria API, and she also gave a fast (10m) presentation as part of the GFv3 Prelude launch (details, replay, slides).
Also, recall that the (production-ready) Reference Implementation of JPA will be EclipseLink - Gordon also gave an overview for the GFv3 Prelude launch (details, replay, slides).
A compilation of today's news of interest:
The GlassFish Migration team is soliciting participation from interested parties to Localize the tool. Contact Shinya via that blog entry or by sending email to g11n at glassfish dot dev dot java dot net if interested.
Arun has another post on JSF 2.0; this time showing how to Use JSF 2.0 with Managed Beans.
From OpenDS land, first Ludo points to an article at BigAdmin by Sachin Krishna Telang showing how to Use OpenDS with IBM's WebSphere. Then, Mark describes how he used OpenDS with JRuby.
Dave has published two recent notes focusing on the areas where SocialSite extends the OpenSocial API. The First Post covers People and Friending, Profile Editing and Metadata, Profile Privacy Settings and Group Creation, Management and Invitations. The Second Post covers Gadget Installation and Management, Messaging and Search. Dave promises additional posts.
And, from the land of Java SE, the long-awaited JavaSE 6 U10 release is now available; check Downloads, FAQ and Osvaldo's post. Despite its obscure name, this is a very important release - I'd expect additional posts on the topic early next week.
A compilation of today's news of interest:
GlassFish ESB is getting closer to its release. Bill (the-blogger) leaks that the second Milestone is Available Early, including Data Mashups. Download Now!.
Terracotta 2.7 is out with formal support for GlassFish Server. See the product page, the download page and Alex's post.
John, at NetBeans, has a new demo showing how to Use EclipseLink via JPA on NetBeans 6.5. EclipseLink is included in the GlassFish v3 releases, including the imminent GlassFish v3 Prelude.
Chinmayee, in Chennai (called Madras by the british) reports on a Presentation to Wipro last month. Wipro is one of the top (top 3?) IT companies in India, with over 100K employees. It's great to see increased adoption in India; like Brazil and China, these are rapidly growing markets - the biggest challenge with GlassFish is getting the word out.
Dan is the author of Seam in Action and recently posted about Using Seam with GlassFish. An exchange with GlassFish team folks followed and Dan now has a Wishlist for GlassFish.
Last week was the OpenSSO Ask-the-Experts, and, following that format, they have published the transcript for the session. Thanks to Rajeev for the tip
The EclipseLink team has released EclipseLink 1.0. This release will be incorporated into a future version of GFv3.
See earlier EclipseLink Posts and check out the Release Announcement.
This is not just YAPS (Yet Another Pet Store); this one is Groovy! :-) Carol has written a sample of the now famous Pet Store (check out the Wikipedia Entry) but this time it uses Groovy, Grails, MySQL Server and the GlassFish Server.
Carol's writeup has full details. Other TA entries on the topic are tagged Groovy or Grails, including the announcement about Grails in the UpdateCenter.
EclipseLink, the JPA implementation that is being used in GlassFish v3 (related posts), just Graduated from the Incubator on its way towards a 1.0 release next week (Roadmap), very well timed for GlassFish v3 :-)
In preparation for the release you may want to check Doug and Shaun's Overview at DZone. EclipseLink 1.0 should show in a GFv3 build soon; I'll check out the details and report back.
The Object Relational Mapping in Rails is provided by ActiveRecord. If GlassFish is used for Rails application deployment then you may like to use Java Persistence API, because of existing code, for ORM instead.
Vivek explained in a recent blog how to use JPA with Rails on GlassFish v2 and MySQL. Ming followed up with a similar entry for GlassFish v3.
JavaOne is always a forcing function for announcements, releases, deals, etc. Some happen during the week, some the weeks before - makes it a bit hard to keep up, but now that CommunityOne is over, I'll try to start catching up...
New Previews of JavaEE 6 Specifications:
• Rajiv announces the latest
Servlet 3.0 Draft Spec
Go check them out and provide feedback; it's the only way to ensre that the future specifications will satisfy your needs.
Topics include Open Source, GlassFish, JavaEE, Cloud, Web Services, WebSockets, Jersey, Tyrus, Metro, Grizzly and more

Sang Tan, Associated Press
LONDON — The British Museum's latest exhibition displays ancient artifacts in gold, glass, stone and ivory from Afghanistan, a country whose fortune, and curse, has long been to lie at a crossroads of cultures, traders, artists and armies.
That these objects have survived for thousands of years is remarkable. That they have survived the last three decades of Soviet invasion, civil war, Taliban vandalism and continuing conflict seems little short of a miracle.
The items in this touring show, whose London leg was being opened Tuesday by Afghan President Hamid Karzai, were thought lost in the destruction of the National Museum of Afghanistan in the 1990s. In fact, they had gone underground, hidden away just before the Soviet withdrawal in 1989 by museum staff, who kept the secret, despite personal risk, during the years of Taliban rule.
"Many times they brought forces to the National Museum (to ask) 'Where are these artifacts?'" said Abdul Wasey Feroozi of Afghanistan's institute of archaeology. "We said, 'We don't know.' Nobody gave answers to anybody about where these objects were."
Seventy percent of the museum's artifacts were wrecked or looted during the post-Soviet chaos or destroyed by the fundamentalist Taliban, who demolished much of the country's pre-Islamic art in the belief that it was idolatrous.
But two years after the Taliban regime was toppled by a U.S.-led 2001 invasion, Karzai announced that six safes full of objects had been found in an underground vault in the grounds of the presidential palace. When archeologists and museum curators cut into the cases with circular saws, they found a treasure trove — 22,000 gold items from a 2,000-year-old nomadic burial ground, some of which form the climax of the current exhibition.
"Being in that bank vault was like being in Tut's tomb," said National Geographic Society archaeologist Fredrik Hiebert, who spent two years cataloguing the treasures and still bubbles with enthusiasm for the find. "It was all unexpected. I had been among the ranks of scholars to say, 'These things are lost.'"
Museum staff, who hadn't seen the items in years and were uncertain of their fate, were ecstatic to find they had survived.
"All of a sudden," Hiebert said, "the Afghans realized that they themselves had saved their cultural heritage."
The exhibition of that heritage features artifacts from four remarkably different ancient societies, all found within the borders of modern-day Afghanistan — a Bronze Age farming civilization, a classical Greek city, a Silk Road palace and a nomads' cemetery.
They attest to the vast range of influences on the strategically located Central Asian land.
One room features artifacts from Ai Khanum, a Greek city in what is now northern Afghanistan, complete with houses, temples, a gymnasium and an amphitheater. Founded by a general of the Macedonian conqueror Alexander the Great in 300 B.C., it was a piece of Greece on the steppe, whose relics include sundials, the heavy tops of Corinthian columns and a statuette of the hero Heracles.
Also on display are treasures from China, India and the Roman Empire, hidden 2,000 years ago at Begram — present-day Bagram, site of a major U.S. air base north of Kabul. Archeologists are still debating whether it was the warehouse of a merchant moving goods along the Silk Road or the treasures of a palace, hidden for safekeeping during an invasion.
The most dazzling artifacts are also the most surprising, because they belonged to nomadic steppe dwellers who otherwise left few traces of their civilization.
Uncovered in 1978 at a site aptly known to locals as Tillya Tepe, the Hill of Gold, were 22,000 golden objects — crowns, daggers, bracelets, amulets, earrings and bowls — inside the graves of five women and a man from the 1st century A.D.

Melanoma/Skin Cancer Health Center
Skin Cancer Treatment (PDQ®): Treatment - Patient Information [NCI] - Stages of Skin Cancer
The metastatic tumor is the same type of cancer as the primary tumor. For example, if skin cancer spreads to the lung, the cancer cells in the lung are actually skin cancer cells. The disease is metastatic skin cancer, not lung cancer.
Staging of nonmelanoma skin cancer depends on whether the tumor has certain "high-risk" features and if the tumor is on the eyelid.
Staging for nonmelanoma skin cancer that is on the eyelid is different from staging for nonmelanoma skin cancer that affects other parts of the body.
Millimeters (mm). A sharp pencil point is about 1 mm, a new crayon point is about 2 mm, and a new pencil eraser is about 5 mm.
The following are high-risk features for nonmelanoma skin cancer that is not on the eyelid:
- The tumor is thicker than 2 millimeters.
- The tumor is described as Clark level IV (has spread into the lower layer of the dermis) or Clark level V (has spread into the layer of fat below the skin).
- The tumor has grown and spread along nerve pathways.
- The tumor began on an ear or on a lip that has hair on it.
- The tumor has cells that look very different from normal cells under a microscope.
The following stages are used for nonmelanoma skin cancer that is not on the eyelid:
Stage 0 (Carcinoma in Situ)
Stage 0 nonmelanoma skin carcinoma in situ. Abnormal cells are shown in the epidermis (outer layer of the skin).
In stage 0, abnormal cells are found in the squamous cell or basal cell layer of the epidermis (topmost layer of the skin). These abnormal cells may become cancer and spread into nearby normal tissue. Stage 0 is also called carcinoma in situ.
Pea, peanut, walnut, and lime show tumor sizes.
Stage I
Stage I nonmelanoma skin cancer. The tumor is no more than 2 centimeters.
In stage I, cancer has formed. The tumor is not larger than 2 centimeters at its widest point and may have one high-risk feature.
Stage II
Stage II nonmelanoma skin cancer. The tumor is more than 2 centimeters wide.

About Triposo:
We make great, interactive travel guides.
To make our guides we use the content that is freely available. Open content sites like Wikitravel, Wikipedia, World66 and Openstreetmap are among the best resources for any traveler. Our mission is to make that content relevant for you. So we mix and mash and annotate - and we distill great, relevant travel guides out of it.
We like open content. In fact some of us were involved in World66, one of the first open content travel guides on the web. Triposo's travel guides are very much a re-mix of open content out there.
Currently we're using content from: Wikipedia, Wikitravel, World66, Open Streetmaps, DMOZ and Chefmoz
We're big fans of these projects. If you stumble across some inaccurate information in this guide, we would appreciate
I like it. Offline map no need internet. I use this app between travel.
All i needed is this app for my Europe Trip. more than what i wish to have, just using my car GPS & this app really took my trip to a new level... needed to be updated with more photos..
Great! Anyone planning to visit the Netherlands would really find this app very much useful with all the info relevant and suitable to figuring out how to get out and about the country.
Nice app Thank you
Worked perfectly. Zoomed right into the villages and didn't lag. We used this app to get us around Friesland and Drenthe for four weeks. Worked well and we were able to find our friends and family addresses with no trouble. Also found the "Things to do" sections very helpful.
