|Re: Need help with Tomcat MBean support
|Fri, 05 Sep 2008 12:56:16 GMT
Thanks again. These articles are very clear and simple. They do raise a couple questions, though. In the first article, no mention is made of an mbeans-descriptor.xml file. It's all done programatically in the first article - which might be fine for my needs. The Tomcat documentation does make it sound as though you can drop the xml file into your MBean package directory and something provided by Tomcat picks it up and makes the MBean accessible, but it now seems that this is not the case. The second article shows code to read these XML files ( CommonsModelMBeanDemonstrator.applyCommonsModeler() ) which leads me to ask whether Tomcat comes with commons-modeler support built-in or whether this must be added manually as in this sample. Anyway, it appears that there are two approaches here 1 - do everything programatically, in which case the .xml file isn't needed 2 - use the commons-modeler xml-file approach (question remains what support, if any, Tomcat provides for this). Do I have this right? H.

U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has started an operation 'Pangea', which co-led by Interpol. According to FDA, the criminals profit from consumers purchasing unapproved prescription drugs off the internet. So, such activity must be cut-off, and criminals linked to this illegal trade are being chased down by an ongoing global collaborative effort.
FDA's operation Pangea on the annual basis aimed to combat the online-sale and the most important aspect is unveiling both the makers and distributors of illegal prescription drug products. Cutting the outlawed medicinal products from the supply chain is another goal of Pangea's operation. As director of the FDA's Office of Criminal Investigations noted:
"Preventing illegal internet sales of dangerous unapproved drugs is critical to protecting consumers' health."
Nowadays, the internet became an extremely comfortable place for different illegal business, one of it is counterfeit medicinal goods selling. According to the statistics of the World Health Organization (WHO), up to 1% of medicines available in the developed world are likely to be counterfeit. On a global scale, this figure reaches 10%, just unbelievable profit! The most counterfeited internet-markets registered in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Fake goods can form up to 30% of these markets.
In its statement regarding this year Pangea, Karavetsos said: "Operation Pangea IX demonstrates the FDA's continuing commitment to stand united with our international partners to protect consumers in the United States and throughout the world from criminals who put profit above the health and safety of consumers."

So you thought you needed a bus pass to go on a cruise. Truth is the industry has been working hard to shake off its senior image for some time to persuade more of us, across the generations, to come aboard.
And it seems to be paying off, according to the Passenger Shipping Association, which reports the numbers of Britons taking a cruise is increasing year on year. Its latest figures, for 2009, show passenger numbers up by 4 per cent to 1.53 million despite the tough economic climate.
They won't be disappointed with 2010's offerings, which are bigger and bolder than ever, from the new multimillion-dollar cruise terminal that opened in Dubai in January to some of the floating behemoths about to hit the waves.
The largest of the 14 ships to launch this year is Allure of the Seasfrom Royal Caribbean International (royal caribbean.com). Allure is an exact replica of its sister ship, Oasis of the Seas, accommodating 5,400 passengers, more than any other vessel of its kind. Its design is as remarkable as its size; the 16-deck vessel divides into seven themed areas, or "neighbourhoods", including the Boardwalk, with its full-size carousel, and Central Park, an open-air version of New York's famous green lung that's the size of a football pitch. The ship also has plenty to entertain the young at heart – or in spirit – such as FlowRiders and the first zipline at sea.
Competing with Allure in the novelty stakes is Costa Cruises' (costacruise.com) new ship Costa Deliziosa. It may take fewer passengers – 2,062 per voyage – but its aim toplease is similarly grand. A Grand Prix racing simulator, roller-skating track and 4D cinema are among the diversions for guests. And NieuwAmsterdam, from Holland America Line (hollandamerica.com), is also attempting to catch the eye of the modern sailor by branding its offerings with world-beating names. So the computer room is also known as "The Digital Workshop, powered by Microsoft Word", and the place to grab a morning coffee is the "Explorations Café, powered by The New York Times".
Other new outings this year include Celebrity Eclipse from Celebrity Cruises (celebritycruises.com), which launches this month, hosting 2,850 guests in surroundings reminiscent of a country club – there's even a manicured lawn on the top deck. Norwegian Epic, making its maiden voyage in June for NCL Freestyle Cruising (ncl.com), carrying up to4,200 guests. At the other end of the size scale, Yachts of Seabourn's (seabourn.com) Seabourn Sojourn will accommodate just 450 passengers in its top-end all-suite vessel fromJune. And Oceania Cruises (oceaniacruises. com) will offer wheelchair accessible rooms across the categories for the first time in its debut bespoke ship, the 1,252-passenger Marina.
Cruise and Maritime Voyages (cruiseandmaritime.com) entered the market, too, this year with two traditional-style ships for 800 passengers, the Marco Polo and the Ocean Countess. And Disney (disneycruise.co.uk) started running full-length cruises out of Dover.
But it's not all about new ships and novel concepts. Fine dining has always been a big draw for cruisegoers and it's something the big companies have been working on in recent years, signing up Michelin-starred chefs to create restaurants on board. P&O (pocruises.com) has restaurants by Gary Rhodes on Arcadia and Oriana, and by Marco Pierre White on Ventura. This year Atul Kochhar,of London's Benares restaurant, will open Sindhuon its latest ship, Azura.
Other starry chefs at sea include Aldo Zilli on Thomson Celebration, Todd English with Cunard (cunard.com), and Nobuyuki Matsuhisa on Crystal Cruises (crystalcruises.com). Chefs coming aboard for special events include Martin Blunos with Holland America Line and Tom Aikens with Crystal Cruises.
Spas, too, are pulling in the punters. Regent Seven Seas (rssc.com) has opened a Canyon Ranch SpaClub on its latest ship, Seven Seas Navigator, and Costa Deliziosa will feature a Samsara Spa. But the biggest story is reserved for the autumn, when the launch of the latest Queen Elizabeth, is sure to hit the news headlines. Cunard's successor to the QE2 will carry 2,092 guests on its first tour, calling at ports including Lisbon and Las Palmas.

The BBC is as culturally important as Google and Apple but must spend its money more wisely if it is to justify the licence fee, according to the corporation's chief.
In a speech to the Oxford Media Convention tomorrow, Lord Hall will hail the BBC as a "world-class" institution but acknowledge that it is not efficiently run.
In an effort to silence critics who have called for the licence fee to be cut or shared with other broadcasters, he will promise "tough choices" on how the money is spent.
Management costs and the BBC's services, including television and radio channels, will all face cuts in the coming months. Lord Hall said.
Lord Hall will say: "Google is more than double the size of the whole UK broadcasting market. Apple is seven times bigger. Today, I believe the BBC's cultural influence matches theirs. I want that to be true at the end of this charter and into the next.
"I want the BBC to remain a world-class broadcaster. That's why we need to keep on modernising, and that's why we need to keep on making the most of every pound we get.
"Our public service ethos has not made efficiency savings unnecessary or important – it has made them essential.
"Tough choices will lie ahead, but we must not shy away from taking them."
Lord Hall, who took over as director-general in April 2013, will say that the BBC is embarking on "a programme of change" ahead of negotiations with the Government over a new licence fee deal. The current agreement runs until the end of 2016.
He has identified a need "to accelerate further savings" in staffing and services, and will target unnecessary layers of BBC management.
Licence fee money should be focused on quality programming, he will add, saying that: money that goes on the scree or over the airwaves for the benefit of the British public is money well spent, but being as lean as possible elsewhere is a priority".
Earlier this month, former BBC chairman Lord Grade told a Commons select committee that the licence fee should be shared with Channel 4. He also backed a merger of BBC Two and BBC Four.
At the same hearing, former director-general Greg Dyke told MPs that the licence fee may have to be abolished in future as a new generation of viewers watches programmes on iPlayer rather than a television set.

By Julie Schmit, USA TODAY
Last July, Food and Drug Administration officials issued a rare warning to U.S. consumers: Botulism toxin was suspected in hot dog chili sauce made by Castleberry's Food.
The botulism outbreak, which would eventually sicken eight and lead to a recall of tens of millions of cans of food, was the first in a U.S.-made canned food in 33 years.
The day before the warning, FDA investigators had begun an inspection at a Castleberry's plant that set off alarms within the agency.
Two 10-foot-tall cookers may not have heated cans enough to kill all bacteria, including those leading to botulism toxin.
The cookers had broken alarms, a leaky valve and an inaccurate temperature device, the FDA said in a previously undisclosed report. USA TODAY obtained a copy from a congressional committee.
The cookers in the Augusta, Ga., plant showed "poor maintenance," and management failed to "correct ongoing deficiencies" in the plant, the report said.
"Failure in management was ultimately the reason for the … botulinum toxin in the cans," according to the report.
The outbreak drove FDA officials to step up inspections at other canneries. In late November, the FDA began inspecting the New Era Canning plant in Michigan, where it discovered botulism spores, a precursor to the toxin, in cans of green and garbanzo beans. No illnesses were reported. New Era recalled 1.2 million cans of vegetables because of the risk.
The recalls worried FDA and industry officials. Botulism toxin — so deadly that it's feared as a bioterror weapon — had been virtually eradicated in the canning industry for decades through time-tested manufacturing processes. The FDA feared some plants had slipped into lax practices that led to botulism-prevention regulations in 1973. On Dec. 21, the day of New Era's recall, the FDA sent a letter warning canneries to "not become complacent."
Donald Zink, a senior FDA food scientist, says a refocus on good manufacturing practices is needed.
"Probably, we've suffered from being too successful," he said in an interview. "Maybe some have gotten a little sloppy."
The FDA's report also underscored the limits of government oversight. The FDA criticized Castleberry's for failing to correct problems, but those problems went undetected by FDA inspectors at the plant five months before the outbreak and by Department of Agriculture inspectors who were in the plant weekly.
Rep. Bart Stupak, D-Mich., who chairs a subcommittee that has held eight hearings on food safety in the past 18 months, says both recalls were "largely a function of careless producers and insufficient regulatory oversight."
"This (canning) process is decades old and well validated. There should be no reason for these hiccups," adds Michael Doyle, director of the Center for Food Safety at the University of Georgia. "It's a matter of properly maintaining equipment and applying proper protocols."
Zink and industry officials say the recalls and FDA warnings caused other companies to tighten safety procedures. "It may be we've seen the worst of it," Zink says. "It may be that we find a few more firms" with problems.
Castleberry's made fixes at its plant and reopened. New Era also made changes and received FDA clearance Thursday to resume production. Both companies say the problems that led to recalls were hard to detect and not the result of sloppiness.
Food-borne botulism is so rare that only about 30 cases are reported in the U.S. each year — almost all from home-canned foods, says the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Commercially canned foods are one of the safest foods because they're cooked long and hot enough to kill bacteria, unlike fresh produce, in which there is no processing "kill" step.
Even so, botulism is a concern because it's so deadly, claiming 8% of victims, often because breathing muscles become paralyzed.
The toxin flourishes in the low-oxygen environment of a sealed can or jar in low-acid foods, such as vegetables, meat, poultry, fish, milk and olives.
Proper canning prevents botulism. But undercooking, and leaky can seams that let in bacteria after cooking, may cause it.
'It was mass chaos'
Food safety inspectors from the FDA and Georgia descended on Castleberry's the night before its July 18 recall, the report said.
Four people in Texas and Indiana had fallen ill, all of whom reported eating Castleberry's hot dog chili sauce, local and state health officials had determined.
The recall began with FDA-regulated meatless hot dog chili sauce and soon grew to 90 products made over two years, including beef stew, corned beef hash, chili sauce and pet food.
Inside Castleberry's warehouse, investigators found swollen cans, which can indicate relatively harmless spoilage or deadly botulism. In one sample of 17 swollen cans, the toxin was in 16 of them, the FDA report says.
Investigators also asked for records, lots of them. None came until the evening of July 20, three days into the probe, which is when the FDA gave Castleberry's 24 hours to produce records or face a potential citation, the report said.
Some key records couldn't be immediately provided because they were stored on the laptop of the plant's maintenance manager, who was on vacation, according to the report.
"It was mass chaos," said Christopher Lischewski, Castleberry's CEO, in an interview.
By following production codes on contaminated cans, the FDA quickly narrowed its focus to cans made May 7 and May 8 on two of the 100 cookers in the plant.
The FDA said new controls on one cooker were improperly installed in February and gave off false temperature readings.
In late May, a technician from the cooker's manufacturer, Malo of Tulsa, noticed the controls were "far out of line," the FDA said in its report, citing the technician's report.
The FDA also said an employee operating the cooker failed to do required checks on the cooker's thermometer, the "reference instrument" for temperature. That's an "egregious" oversight, said canning expert John Rushing at North Carolina State University. "Everybody knows to do that."
The other cooker that may have produced contaminated sauce had a worn valve that failed to seal properly, the FDA said. That allowed water to back up in the cooker, lowering the temperature inside. Zink calls the worn valve a "maintenance failure."
Alarms or alarm lights, designed to alert operators to problems, on both cookers were malfunctioning. "Leaking valves and burned out alarm lights … provide a picture of … poor maintenance and inattention," the FDA report said.
According to the FDA, the Malo technician said in his report that the cookers had been well maintained two years earlier but that they were "maintained poorly now."
Castleberry's was sold in 2005 to Bumble Bee Foods, an operating company of Canada's Connors Bros. Income Fund.
Some of Castleberry's problems started then, as the 400-employee company "lost its identity and so did the employees," plant general manager James Waits told investigators.
An 'almost undetectable' flaw
Castleberry's, which hadn't seen the FDA report until USA TODAY provided it for comment, disputes the report's assessment of poor management and maintenance.
Lischewski, who's also CEO of Connors and Bumble Bee, says testing showed that the leaky-valve cooker was the likely culprit. That problem was "almost undetectable" unless the valve was taken apart, which wasn't part of Castleberry's weekly maintenance check, he said.
Neither the Malo technician nor Waits, the plant manager, were fully informed, he said. The technician wasn't aware of changes Castleberry's had made in its maintenance program since the company's sale and his judgment was inaccurate, according to Lischewski. Waits joined the management team eight days after the recall and made several comments to the FDA "out of emotion," he added.
Castleberry's said it supplied records to investigators as soon as possible, given requests from multiple agencies. Paper copies of records kept by the vacationing manager were at the plant, it said.
"It's a tough-worded report. But I do not believe there was any sloppiness," Lischewski said. "We believe it was more of a technology and design issue than an operating issue."
The FDA's Zink said it's not clear which of the two cookers produced contaminated cans, because the plant's clocks weren't synchronized with equipment that stamped cans.
"When you have a firm that fails so badly that they produce cans with Clostridium botulinum … there are invariably multiple process failures, multiple violations … and failed management systems," Zink said.
Those failures went undetected by two USDA inspectors who were in the plant several days a week to check meat-containing products.
USDA spokeswoman Amanda Eamich said inspectors check food-safety controls, but they may not be trained to spot hard-to-detect equipment problems.
The FDA did a three-day inspection at the plant in February 2007 and found no major issues. That inspection covered a new line of cookers, not the ones that led to the recall, Zink said. To inspect all 100 cookers would have taken a month, he added, unfeasible given the scarcity of FDA inspectors.
'Out of control'
Alarmed by Castleberry's outbreak, the FDA inspected 15 other canneries that used the same equipment, a step to prevent another outbreak. Only one sent up red flags: New Era.
In its warehouse, investigators found cans with swells, buckles and defective seams, according to the FDA's inspection report. New Era was cited for failing to discover whether its products posed a "potential public health hazard" and to fix problems.
New Era also did something that Zink said he hadn't seen in 25 years. Some cans that had buckled after cooking had been pressed back into shape and sold.
"Debuckling" can mask a "critical defect," Zink said, because buckled cans may have damaged seams. Canneries typically destroy severely buckled cans.
"This was a plant that was out of control for some time and dodged a bullet," said John Cerveny, food microbiologist with NSF-Cook & Thurber, which audits food plants. He reviewed the FDA report.
New Era didn't undercook, Zink said. The FDA suspects that botulism spores entered the plant's water via a broken well line and got into cans through seams while cans were cooled in water.
New Era didn't know how long the water line had been broken, the report said. Nor did it chlorinate its cooling water, which is commonly done to kill bacteria, or adequately maintain seaming equipment or monitor bacteria levels in cooling water, the FDA said.
"When cans buckle and compromise the … seam and you cool them with unchlorinated water, you really create a disastrous situation," Zink said.
Post-recall reforms
Since their recalls, both companies have made changes.
Castleberry's took suspect cookers out of service. It added backup valves to others, redesigned controls and retrained workers. The recall's costs hit $38 million, it said in March.
New Era will check bacteria in water more often and chlorinate cooling water, even though President Rick Ray said that wouldn't have prevented contamination in this case. Zink said that's uncertain.
New Era no longer pushes buckled cans back into shape. The company says only a tiny number were, and that buckles don't pose a safety risk if seams aren't affected. New Era never intentionally sold cans with damaged seams, it says, and disputes Zink's opinion that its previous practices posed a "disastrous situation."
A USDA audit of the plant four weeks before the FDA's inspection found the plant in compliance, the company says.
New Era is a peak-season employer of 250 in a village twice that size. The recall was the first for the 98-year-old family-owned company, Ray said.
"We are very concerned about creating safe food, and our track record shows it," he said.

One of the top kickers in Ohio has been a long time commitment to Akron, according to his coach, Steve Trivisonno. Igor Iveljic originally committed to the Zips back in late August and he's done nothing to disappoint as a senior.
"He's got a cannon for a leg," his coach said. "This kid is a special story and a very good get for Akron."
Iveljic grew up in Bosnia, Germany and in the United States playing soccer. In fact, his coach said he never played football until last season. He spent the first two years at Mentor, one of the top programs in Clevlenad, playing soccer only.
As a junior, he made two of six field-goal attempts, was 31-of-34 on extra points and had 11 touchbacks on kickoffs.
This season he averaged 33.5 yards a punt and had a long of 50 yards. He was also eight of 12 in field goals and 24 of 26 in extra points. He was one for one from 50-plus yards and deadly inside the 40, missing only one kick.

dinner was great! clearn bathroom. lovely tyrolean room. fresh green garden.
Comfortable hotel, large room, large bed (I am tall), free parking, plus swimming pool & spa. Big breakfast is included. There was no air conditioning, so it was very difficult to sleep at night. With windows open for any air, the noise from the road, and the autostrada and the rail line was very apparent.
The manager was helpful and agreed to turn on the sauna for us at 07.00, after reception clerk refused to do it two times in a row. It was a Tuesday night and they had a disco blazing until 11pm. We were told that in our room we wouldn't be bothered but it was impossible to ignore. The saunas and wellness areas are open only 14.00-19.00, which is difficult for me to enjoy. The food at breakfast and at dinner was not memorable and not regional, the hotel is like a Marriot in Midwest -- but set in the mountain area. All in all, I fail to see why this would be a "spa" hotel.
Excellent value for money. Nowadays one should ask for a room on the other side of the hotel (valley view) than the reception is as there are construction works going on in neighbouring hotel facing the reception.
A lovely hotel in a nice valley. Facilities were top notch and well appointed. The staff were particularly helpful and attentive in the reception area. The Gala meal on our second night was 7 courses and took a long time to serve, we would have preferred the standard meals we had the other evenings.
Very good breakfast and dinner buffet, nice location, oversized common spaces, helpful and carefully staff, maybe a bigger parking place will be more appropriate.Dinner antipasti buffet to rich and dangerous for people who has overweight predisposal.
Excellent family hotel, typical for Tyrol. Located 1km only from Vals Jochtal ski lift. Inclusive all services such as pool, spa, hammam, etc. A huge gaming room for children. Most of the waiters in the restaurant are quite young and not so friendly (at least not as friendly as in other tyrol hotels). The exterior terasse hasn't been cleaned from snow, so nobody could sit there and enjoy the sunbath. The hotel is a bit too much expensive for Christmas period.
Excelent food, very peacefull, nice atmosphere and sorounding, very good internet conection, a lot of things to do every day, nice and helpfull staff ...
Relax and calmness. A lot of facilities for apres ski. To get to the nearest town you have to drive 10-15 km

The Great Galactic Empire, also known simply as the Galactic Empire, was a massive galaxy-wide government that was formed in 2904 by then-chancellor of the Galactic Republic Jusiac Cognst. He announced that in order to keep the galaxy under order and peace, he could barely trust anyone except some of his personal advisers and assistants.
The GGE lasted for a total of approximately seventy years, from it's formation to it's dissolution.
The idea of a Galactic Empire sprouted in Cognst's head in 2901, after a civil war ended throughout the galaxy. Truthfully, Cognst wanted complete control over the galaxy, and had the upper hand as he was easily capable of intimidating and corrupting senators and politicians. He soon began a fake "paranoia" of distrust in most people he met with regularly, and announced the formation of the Empire shortly afterwards, using this "paranoia" as an excuse. With a thousand senators under his influence, he was unstoppable.
Since he had kept the powerful military of the Galactic Republic, he quickly expanded the GGE's borders into pirate territory, claiming that "The Galaxy needs peace and order, and we must rid it of the underworld." Soon, he controlled nearly the entire galaxy, save the area known as the "Wild Regions", far out on the very edge of the galaxy.
By 2909, his army was massive at nearly 50 million soldiers and other vehicles, and nearly 1,000 warships of every kind.
Early Days and Seeds of Rebellion
In 2910, a meeting was held with the Emperor, and after throwing out the visitors, they proclaimed the birth of an Alliance- the Galactic Alliance, who were to fight the Emperor and restore true peace to the galaxy. But, Cognst thought, how could they, they have almost no followers, and I deny them technology and supplies for this rebellion.
But, however, the Rebels just bought the tech off the Black Market. With high-powered (and illegal) blaster weapons, they began skirmishes with small patrols of Imperial troops on outer-rim planets such as Carnot and Tooles. Soon, they managed to receive enough credits to buy several atmospheric transports and a small corvette. They then began attacking fighters on patrol and other small space ships. Soon, Emperor Cognst declared war on the Rebels, and one of the longest wars in galactic history would leave it's mark.
Early Imperial Victories and Battle of Brevvi
Throughout the first year of the war in 2911, Galactic Alliance ground forces combat Imperial veteran troops with little success. Of the fourteen original planets that gave birth to the Alliance, three were lost in continuous fighting. Desperate for more support, and with military and economical difficulties, the Galactic Alliance's leader, Chairman Tero Zeroni, traveled throughout the Deep Core and Inner Colonies recruiting thousands of new recruits to their cause, also claiming two planets during the tour. Realizing that the Galactic Alliance would be difficult to get rid of, Cognst deployed approximately half of his military against the Rebels in an attempt to destroy them before the war spread galaxy-wide.
By the end of 2911, the Galactic Alliance had enough troops to combat every single Imperial soldier on the capital planet of Tronski. Using this to his advantage, Chairman Zeroni deployed a battalion of troops to the planet in an attempt to destroy three Imperial cruisers under repair and supply on the planet. One was destroyed and the other two were damaged increasingly, but only seven of the infiltrators survived the raid.
Soon, Alliance intelligence discovered an Imperial counterattack- they were to attack and destroy the Rebel garrison on Brevvi, one of their key worlds that supplied them with fast, hard-hitting frigates and destroyers. Zeroni moved 2/3rds of the Galactic Alliance's military to the planet, including nearly 100,000 soldiers and a fleet of 100 small, agile anti-single ship corvettes.
The battle was fierce, and the first major one of the war- the Battle of Brevvi- was won for the Rebels, with extremely low casualties.
Imperial forces retreated and Cognst knew the Rebellion was business- and that it was possible his new Galactic Empire could fall soon enough.
Turning Point and Turning of the Frilong Imperial Remnant
Unable to destabilize the new Rebellion, Cognst needed new space to be able to crush the resistance before it got out of hand- although it nearly already had. Cognst redeployed much of his forces against is old ally, the Frilong Imperial Remnant. After less than a standard galactic month, his troops were already marching on Frilong's capital, Herstar. The remainders of the Frilong Empire sided with the Galactic Alliance, and began donating supplies and weapons to their cause. Cognst, angered that his veteran soldiers could not swiftly conquer Frilong fast enough, redirects his armies toward the Galactic Alliance. Although his generals and admirals advised it would be smart to try and take out the Frilong Empire to try and cut off the Alliance's supplies, he ignored their "advice" and continued to deploy troops against the Alliance and it's growing force.
Continuous Stalemate and Attempted Peace Talks
By 2913, the Galactic Alliance had nearly 1 million soldiers, twenty-three planets, and had three powerful light cruisers. Also not wanting a full-scale war, Chairman Zeroni called a peace conference between himself and Cognst. After three hours of continuous discussion, it was final- they would fight until the end.
Harnessing the Frilong Empire's shipbuilding capabilities, the Galactic Alliance began building an assortment of cruisers, destroyers, and frigates, in an attempt to build a naval fleet capable of combating the Imperial armada.

Today, Rep. Matt Salmon (AZ-05) released the following statement regarding his vote on a few key bills that passed the U.S. House of Representatives this week aimed at reducing federal government intrusion into the lives of Arizonans.
"Now more than ever, Americans need their lawmakers to pass policies that will finally unshackle the chains of government regulation, and create an economy where the private sector can flourish, create more jobs and spur more investment. As Ronald Reagan once said, "government is not the solution to our problems -- government is the problem'.
"With President Reagan's words in mind, I voted for a series of bills that puts an end to government abuse and reduces the federal government's intrusion in our families and businesses."
"Because we've already seen over 45,000 pages of regulation created in just 2013, I voted in favor of H.R. 367, the Regulations In Need of Scrutiny Act (REINS Act). This legislation states that economically significant regulations estimated to have an economic impact greater than $100 million are required to have the approval of Congress.
"In keeping my pledge to eliminate Obamacare and all its harmful rules and regulations, I was proud to vote for H.R. 2009, Keep the IRS Off Your Health Care Act. With the IRS and its government bureaucrats set to create an office solely dedicated to control nearly 50 aspects of Obamacare's implementation, it's critical we keep them away from this harmful piece of legislation.
"Finally, I was proud to support H.R. 2879, Stop Government Abuse Act, which targets government bureaucrats and officials who abuse their power. Sadly, we have seen this abuse by agencies like the IRS, EPA, and the NSA.
As Congress returns to their districts for the August work period, I look forward to talking with my constituents on ways we can further hold the government accountable to the American people."

3 Key Takeaways From Latest Kroger Earnings
- Kroger's beat Wall Street earnings estimates but fell short of top-line consensus.
- Consumers like Kroger's merchandise strategies.
- Kroger experiments with new technologies, layout and design.
Retail conglomerate Kroger (NYSE:KR) announced its Q4 FY 2015 earnings on March 3, 2016. The company reported earnings per share of $0.57, beating Wall Street estimates of $0.54 per share. However, the company fell short of the street's top line estimates of $26.19B, reporting sales of $26.165B. The market took a dim view of Kroger's failure to meet consensus revenue estimates and punished its stock price, which fell by 7% during the regular trading session following the earnings release. However, long-term investors should take note of the opportunity to purchase an aggressively expanding business at a lower price as Kroger's strategies are paying off for its stakeholders.
Merchandise mix resonates
Kroger's same-store sales expanded 5% in its FY 2015 when factoring out fuel, with deflation in some areas serving as a headwind. Management asserted that its merchandise strategies are really paying off. Kroger's Simple Truth organic merchandise brand now represents a $1.5 billion dollar brand just three years after its launch. To put that in context, this represents 10% of the $15.4 billion reported by rival Whole Foods Market (NASDAQ:WFM) in its FY 2015, meaning that there's plenty of market share for Kroger to grab.
Consumers want quality and value and Kroger's consumers get that from the "Simple Truth" brand. On the note of value, Kroger sold $20 billion worth of its "corporate brands" private label products, representing an eye-raising 18% of its FY 2015 revenue. This provides further evidence that consumers watch every dime spent at the grocery store, and Kroger knows how to deliver on that front.
Kroger constantly experiments with store layout and formatting. Kroger also likes to hedge bets based on its diverse portfolio of retailing businesses. Kroger management talked about the Main & Vine layout that will offer a mixture of "specialty", "local" and "everyday products". This stems from management's belief that some consumers like normal merchandise in addition to something new and exciting. Kroger also asserted that its Marketplace concept, which houses everything from groceries and dry goods to restaurants, resonates well with consumers. A Kroger Marketplace leaves you with the impression of a cross between a Walmart (NYSE:WMT) Supercenter and Kroger's traditional grocery store format.
Retailing future
Like home improvement retailer Home Depot (NYSE:HD), Kroger understands that consumers increasingly gravitate towards online shopping. Consumers accustomed to online shopping are reluctant to put effort into physically shopping when they could point, click and receive merchandise at their doorstep. This also applies to groceries as online retailers, such as Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), increasingly offer groceries.
Kroger discussed its ClickList program, which will allow consumers to order online and then pick up at the store. The program has expanded into seven markets. Kroger is also experimenting with home delivery. I believe that any retailer that can effectively compete with Amazon and other e-commerce retailers will need to utilize its current store infrastructure as a means to launching a delivery system into the local market.
Kroger Fundamentals
A company can still perform well and not beat expectations. This was the case for Kroger. In FY 2015, Kroger saw its revenue, net income and free cash flow expand 1%, 18% and 12%, respectively, YoY. Margins expanded across the board due in part to commodity price deflation in products such as meat. Kroger's balance sheet remained in the same relative shape as last year. Its long-term debt, which includes obligations under capital leases, held steady at around $9.7 billion. Gains in reported operating income contributed to a better margin of safety in terms of interest coverage. Times interest earned came in at 7.4 in FY 2015 versus 6.4 in FY 2014.
Kroger maintains discipline with its dividend. The company paid out 26% of its free cash flow in dividends in FY 2015 versus 25% in FY 2014. Kroger's current dividend rate represents a 17% YoY growth. Right now the company pays its shareholders $0.42 per share, yielding 1.1% annually.
Concluding thoughts
Kroger currently resides at the No. 2 spot in the National Retail Federation's list of top 100 retailers. Kroger continues to acquire companies that add to its technologies and geographic footprint (which adds scale), enabling it to compete with the top player, Walmart. While Kroger didn't talk about a possible acquisition of The Fresh Market (NASDAQ:TFM), don't be surprised if it does.
Kroger goes to great lengths to give the consumers what they want. Its management believes this represents the core to maintaining its edge in the highly competitive market and this should help Kroger find itself in the No.1 spot at some point in the future.

Pacific Coast League (Triple-A): Tyler Greene @ 12 games
With a double on Friday and single on Saturday, Memphis shortstop Greene stretched his hitting streak to 12 games. With Saturday night news that Nick Punto is headed toward the disabled list may mean that Greene's quest for game number 13 will be put on hold.
Though Greene has not performed well with St. Louis this season, batting .198 in the majors, his PCL line is a stellar .306/.410/.506 in 22 games.
Shortstop Jackson homered for Springfield on Friday and doubled on Saturday to extend his hit streak to 17 games, the longest active streak in the Texas League. His keystone partner, second baseman Garcia, is working on extending a 13-game hit streak of his own.
Jackson has had a wild ride in 2011. He was the organization's Player of the Month in April, batting .337 before falling apart in May, when he hit just .170. The 23-year-old rebounded to .323 in June before settling to a more-normal .281 so far this month. During the streak, Jackson has just one multi-hit game in his last ten starts.
Garcia, 23, is on fire. He has five hits in his last two games and is batting .411 in July with a .997 OPS. Garcia is batting .321 overall for Springfield after posting a .333 average in an 18-game trial with Memphis last month.
Midwest League (A): Kolten Wong @ 11 games (ended), Oscar Taveras @ 11 games
Wong, the Cardinals' 2011 first-round draft pick, extended his hitting streak to 11 games on Friday night. However, despite getting seven plate appearances in Quad Cities' 12-inning win Saturday night, all Wong had to show for his evening was a walk and an RBI. Despite the 0-for-6 streak-ending night, Wong is still batting .324 in his first 18 professional games.
The second baseman's River Bandits teammate and top organizational outfield prospect, Taveras, now has his own 11-game streak. After a 4-for-7 outing Saturday night, the 19-year-old is batting a cool .395 in his first 38 Midwest League games.
Appalachian League (SS-rookie): Steven Ramos: 12 games (ended)
Ramos has put together a big start for Johnson City and one indication is the outfielder's 12-game hit streak that ended with an 0-for-5 Saturday night. The Cardinals' leadoff man has a .360/.365/.460 line in his first 24 Appy League games. About the only complaint is his lone walk in 100 at-bats.

Departs Valdez Alaska and Explores Prince William Sound. Enjoy camping at two tide water glaciers and remote wilderness sites. Paddle the remote coastline skirted with towering mountains and cascading waterfalls. Relax while the guides prepare mouth watering meals and tell stories around the camp fire. A motorboat will bring us back from our final destination of Glacier Island, after visiting Alaska's largest tide water glacier, Columbia Glacier.
Your Itinerary
Day 1: During the morning of the first day the guide will familiarize the group about the agenda for the coming days and an introductory instruction on sea kayaking and packing the kayaks. The day will be spent exploring the upper bay of Shoup Glacier State Park. We will find sea otters, seals, and a spectacular rookery of Black-legged Kittiwakes. This will be our first experience with floating ice and calving glaciers. The campsite is one of the best in the sound! (L/D).
Day 2: Paddling out of Shoup Bay the group will head south toward Columbia Glacier. Our destination for the evening will be Sawmill Bay. En route we will paddle a dramatic coastline adorned with towering snow capped peaks. Magnificent waterfalls cascade from the cliffs above. Paddle into Sawmill Bay and enjoy a comfortable camp site. In the evening we take a paddle into "Bears Kitchen" to see the Black Bears feeding on Salmon. There are also some good salmon fishing opportunities in this area. (B/L/D).
Day 3: After an evening in Sawmill Bay the paddle continues out into the open sound for a relaxing paddle to one of our favorite camping beaches. The beach has a small waterfall at one end which offers a refreshing bathe. The beach has an open view looking east across Prince William Sound. We always enjoy a camp fire and evening stories. A walk into the rainforest is always an option. (B/L/D).
Day 4: The final stretch to Columbia Glacier. A full day of paddling brings us to Heather Bay. This bay is very well protected and is home to a wide variety of waterfowl and marine mammals. It is not uncommon to see rafts of thirty or more sea otters. Columbia Glacier is the largest in Prince William Sound and offers views of snow capped peaks and towering icebergs. (B/L/D).
Day 5: Our day will be spent in the Heather Bay exploring the ice of Columbia Glacier. This day offers a relaxing day of paddling and easy hiking. The diverse wildlife is a treat on all of our visits. We will stay at the same camp site to give a more relaxed pace to the day. (B/L/D).
Day 6: Our final day starts early with a paddle out of Heather Bay and crossing to Glacier Island. By lunch, we will be turning Bulls Head for an experience of a lifetime. We will get to paddle with a colony of Stellar Sea Lions before the motor boat picks us up for lunch on the ride back to Valdez. (B/L).
25% deposit required for reservation. One night at a B&B is included in the price.

Firewall Scan Problem
Both Firewall and antivirus programs have different functions to do, however Firewall may include some
Solving the Firewall scan problem
of the operations done by an antivirus program. An antivirus program is designed to identify, prevent and fight with viruses only, while Firewall gives you complete protection against viruses, spyware, adware and other malicious programs. If you are running your antivirus program with Firewall turned on, you may encounter some Firewall scan problem issues on your PC. Let us look at these issues and try to resolve them.
Downloading updates
If Firewall has been turned on in your computer and you are running an antivirus scan, then your antivirus may try to download updates from a site that is not allowed to access by Firewall. Actually, most of the ports and web addresses are restricted by Firewall and you will have to change the Firewall settings so that it can allow your antivirus program to access the particular port.
Slowed down computer
Antivirus scanning itself lowers down the speed of your computer and if Firewall is turned on, it further slows down the performance of your PC. This Firewall scan problem arises because scanning all files and folders in your PC may take some time for the scanner. This is obvious that your computer's performance speed will be slowed down.
Difficulty in surfing over the Internet
When both scanner and Firewall are turned on, your computer's speed is slowed down and that is why, downloading web pages may take longer time than usual to open. This can be an irritating situation for you, especially if you are doing some important task on your PC.
Router blocks the ports
Sometimes, changing the settings of your Firewall is not enough for the antivirus program to reach the port. In that case, you need to check your router to find out if the port has been blocked by it.
Checking your Firewall status
There are some sites over the Internet that allows the users to check their Firewall status. You just need to visit the site and enter the number of the port that you want to reach. The automated system of the website will tell you whether the port is open to be reached or not from your computer. Now that you know that the Firewall scan problem is from your router or from the Firewall, you can easily fix the problem on your own.

I absoulutely love the natural birth process and attending my first brirth ( other than my own : ) ) was the most amazing experience of my life. I would be honored to be a part of yours. Along with my training , I can offer the knowledge I have gained through study and training, and the confidence I have in the natural birth process to help you have a wonderful labor.
You can e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com and we could meet after that to discuss if we are a good fit,
UPDATE : Thank you so much MDC moms, I am submitting my cert. package this month. I am now "working" as a doula for a really reduced rate while I build experience. I would love to meet any of you who are thinking about a doula for your birth experience.

Ship Weight:0.90 Servings:15 Dosage:0.25 Cup(s) FunFresh Foods Dowd & Rogers Gluten-Free California Almond Flour - 14 oz. (396g) California grown and processed, Dowd & Rogers Gluten-Free Almond Flour is 100% almonds. In addition to being gluten free Dowd & Rogers California Almond Flour adds a wonderful flavor and texture to baked goods and is a great coating for chicken or fish. A 1 ounce serving of almonds contains more fiber than any other nut and is an excellent source of vitamin E, magnesium, and manganese and a good source of fiber, copper, riboflavin, and phosphorus. One ounce also contains 6 grams of protein and 12 grams of heart-healthy unsaturated fats. Are all Dowd & Rogers' products wheat free and gluten free? Yes. All of their products are wheat free and gluten free. They have been carefully formulated and produced to meet the needs of celiacs. Otherwise, the Dowd in Dowd and Rogers couldn't eat them! Each batch is laboratory tested to be free of gluten to 10 ppm. Dowd & RogersSince 2001, Dowd & Rogers has produced premium gluten-free baking products that appeal to everyone--gluten intolerant or not. If you think all gluten-free baked goods taste inferior to "traditional" baked goods, try Dowd & Rogers! You are in for a pleasant surprise. Having been diagnosed at the tender age of three with celiac disease, Derek Dowd grew up without all the goodies children enjoy—the birthday cakes, the cookies and brownies, even bread and macaroni—because they all contain wheat gluten, a protein that makes bread rise and cakes fluffy. Later, he recalls "in the 70s and 80s, there was a limited amount of gluten-free products, and most of the gluten-free products weren't very good." While in college, Dowd discovered chestnut flour, a favored artisanal staple in Northern Italy, "No one else was doing anything with chestnut flour in the gluten-free world," he says, and what's more, he discovered that baked goods with chestnut flour tasted delicious! From that discovery, Dowd & Rogers was born, launching their first product, Italian chestnut flour in 2002. All the Dowd & Rogers products are lab tested gluten-free, but you don't have to be gluten-intolerant to enjoy them. Now, everyone can have their cake and eat it too! Dowd & Rogers is manufactured for FunFresh Foods.

The Art of… Advertising
August is underway meaning that any day now September fashion issues the size of telephone books will be hitting newsstands. Last year I shed light on editorial content vs. ad pages and, while I can imagine 2013 will be much of the same, something excites me about what I have seen thus far on the fall/winter ad circuit. More designers have taken inspiration from art for their latest set of campaigns.
For starters, Inez and Vinoodh captured Raf Simmons' fall 2013 collection for Dior and one image in particular (pictured above) was a direct reference to Edouard Manet's 1863 masterpiece, Luncheon on the Grass (below).
Edouard Manet, Luncheon on the Grass, 1863
While Dior took inspiration from the past, at KENZO, Carol Lim and Huberto Leon enlisted the help of present-day artist Maurizio Cattelan to think up a fantastic, surrealist-inspired campaign.
Left: Maurizio Cattelan's highline billboard and Right: KENZO Fall/Winter 2013
Left: Robert Longo image and Right: McQ Fall/Winter 2013
Similarly, one of fashion's 'go-to' artists, Robert Longo, is once again invading fashion magazines by way of the McQ campaign (above). In the past, Lanvin showed Longo-inspired images for spring/summer 2010 while the following season the entire Bottega Veneta campaign was shot Longo-style.
Bottega Veneta Fall/Winter 2010
In the past, fashion houses have partnered with artists to produce original editorial content. Cindy Sherman is always the premier example of the intersection of art and fashion; take her post card series for Comme des Garçons in 1994 or her Marc Jacobs advertisements in 2006. Rather than a brand using an artist to promote a collaboration between the two creative forces, it is most intriguing when designers seek out artists to highlight their existing products.
Tom Ford Fall/Winter 2007 by Marilyn Minter
Taking this philosophy and looking back at past year's fashion advertisements, Tom Ford's fall/winter 2007 campaign by Marilyn Minter immediately comes to mind. The images represented the Tom Ford brand through the eyes of Marilyn Minter – pure genius.

Left: Rene Magritte, The False Mirror, 1928 and Right: Diane Von Furstenberg
Just last year Diane Von Furstenberg showed a series of surrealist ads for spring/summer 2012 with countless references to the work of Salvador Dali and Rene Magritte (above).
Last but not least, my favorite ode to an artist was Prada's spring/summer 2001 ad campaign inspired by the amazing Martin Munkacsi (the same man who captured the puddle jumper in 1934, well before Avadon). Munkacsi was famous for his high-energy, identifiable images when, at the time, almost all fashion photographs were being shot on a large format camera inside a studio. His series of beach photographs from the late 1920's to early 1930's are still some of his most celebrated to date and served as the inspiration behind Ms.Prada's spring/summer campaign.

100+ Clean, Simple and Minimalist Website Designs
Minimalism has been a popular website design style for years. It has so many benefits; minimalist sites load faster, take fewer server resources, and are often faster to develop than more graphically complicated designs. Plus, they give a professional, clean impression to visitors.
Many people still view minimalist designs as boring. But there's a real art to effective minimal website designs, something not all designers can effectively master. When you limit the number of graphic elements you use and put the focus on negative space and typography, a good eye for spacing and proportion becomes crucial.
