PARIS (AP) — When French TV crews descended on a Los Angeles hospital in 2009, American reporters didn't get it. Johnny Hallyday was hospitalized. Who's he? Only a rock music idol and legend, a man France's president would eulogize Wednesday as "a French hero."
Hallyday, known simply as Johnny, made generations of fans in his native France squeal, jump and jive with his dazzling dress, pumping pelvis and tunes by American artists belted out in French. His death at age 74 was a loss even for younger people who might have found his Elvis Presley-inspired act passe.
But the beloved rocker's stardom mostly remained confined to France. Media outlets in the U.S. reported Wednesday on the "Johnny" phenomenon that endured for more than half a century.
French President Emmanuel Macron a fan and offstage acquaintance of Hallyday's, offered a lyrical on-the-spot tribute while visiting Algiers for talks on fighting terrorism.
"We had built deep within ourselves the conviction that he was invincible. He is among these men who should have died 100 times because of their lifestyle, because of their overindulgence, because of their battles," Macron, 39, said "But he never fell."
Hallyday had been treated for lung cancer and repeated health scares in the years before he died, but performed as recently as the summer.
Macron wasn't the only French politician to talk Johnny while on state business. Nicolas Sarkozy called the Hallyday family during a European Union Summit in 2009 to get updates on the singer's condition — at the time an infected herniated disk.
Why was Johnny Hallyday so loved? Was it his rugged good looks and scratchy voice? Or was it the charisma that singer Line Renaud, who helped launch his career and is known as his "godmother," said "there's no school for."
Fans seemed to viscerally grasp the tender side hidden under the image of a singer whose stage presence wasn't particularly French. With sparkly suits, a large cross on his bare chest and hi legs spread, he looked like an act out of Las Vegas or Hollywood.
"I know that happiness doesn't exist. There is but pain and solitude," he said in an extensive interview with the newspaper Le Monde in 1998. "I talk about it often because I can only speak of what I know. When I say talk, it means sing."
Hallyday has said he never stopped grieving his absent father, a Belgian who disappeared from his life when his parents divorced before he was 1 year old. He only occasionally sang "A Propos de Mon Pere" (Concerning My Father), which appeared on his 1974 album and he said was about his dad.
Born in Paris on June 15, 1943, Hallyday stopped using his given name, Jean-Philippe Smet, when he was 16 years old and had followed his father's sisters to London. There, he met Lee Ketchman, an American singer who gave him his first electric guitar.
Hallyday covered American songs in French, from "Johnny B. Goode" to "Black Is Black" and "Roll Over Beethoven." He sang the "The House of the Rising Sun" in English — the melody of which was also used for one of his most famous songs, the 1964 "Le Penitencier."
"If the artistic quality of his work is under debate, his ability to embody the contradictions of French society is obvious," sociologist Jean-Louis Fabiani told the newspaper Le Monde. "Johnny is a veritable cultural sponge, fed on the spirit of the times and its uncertainties."
Hallyday's widow, Laeticia Hallyday, said in a statement announcing his death that his battle with cancer had given "everyone extraordinary life lessons."
"The heart beat so strongly in this body of a rocker who lived a life without concession for the stage, for his public, for those who adored and loved him," her statement, transmitted overnight to the French national news agency AFP, said. "My man is no more."
But he never stopped being vulnerable.
"All my life, I was obsessed with the absence of my father," Hallyday told the Journal du Dimanche weekly newspaper in 2014. He recalled attending his father's funeral in Brussels in 1989.
"That day I was the only one there. Not a woman, not a friend. Absolute solitude in death. I wouldn't like to end like that," he said.
Johnny didn't.
One fan, Yves Buisson, his arms bearing Johnny tattoos, stood outside Hallyday's gated home west of Paris, calling the rocker "our God."
Lawmakers in the French National Assembly stood briefly and applauded the star, and Prime Minister Edouard Philippe gave an informal tribute.
The fan occupying the presidential Elysee Palace made it clear Hallyday hadn't died alone.
"I know that this morning there are many French people who probably feel more lonely," Macron said. "So we'll comfort each other by thinking about him."

Has multiple purchasing options
The Conduit HD, a high-definition re-release of High Voltage Software's Wii-exclusive first-person shooter, is now available for Tegra 3-optimized Android devices on Google's Play Store. Along with the visual upgrade, the game features "innovative touchscreen controls and gameplay that has been re-balanced for tablet play."
"Our goal with The Conduit was to bring a hardcore game experience to a 'casual' market," said Kerry J. Ganofsky, CEO and founder of High Voltage Software. "I believe we have reached that goal again with The Conduit HD!"
The purchasing options for The Conduit HD are rather strange: The first two levels are free, and the full game is $4.99. However, each half of the game can also be purchased separately for $2.99 each, so if you've ever wanted to go that route, there you go.

Hello everyone!
After a long time of hard work, and lots of testing, I'm extremely happy to announce that Game Character Hub is finally out! It is available for purchase on Steam for $14.99 only! There is a special promotion that ends on May 30, with a lower price $9.74, saving you 35%!
There have been a lot of changes since the Beta version. Here is a list of the main ones: (You will see a full list of features on Steam!)
I really hope you will enjoy it!
I've had lots of questions about the licence, and whether the characters created with GCH could be used in commercial products. Those licensing issues are now solved! The answer is as follows: if your character uses the default item library, which is a property of Enterbrain, you may use your character for RPG Maker products only (and then, games made with RPG Maker may be sold with no problem according the licence). This means you may sell your game as long as it's made with RPG Maker and you own a licence. However, if you don't use GCH item library but your own graphic materials, then you are free to use the character in any commercial product.
By the way I'd like to thank everyone who tested the Beta version and gave their feedback, or encouraged me in any way! That really mattered to me, and without any positive feedback from your part, I would never have achieved this. So, thanks again, I really mean it!
As for the Beta version, I remind you that it was only temporarily available, until the full release. The Beta will be disabled on June 6. This means that the Beta won't be available for download any more, and that the version you have won't be working any longer. To continue using GCH, and to enjoy its new features, you need to get the final release on Steam. I would like thank you all again for testing the product, and I hope you have enjoyed it :-)

Hi =) Just saw ur product on steam and it looks really interesting =) I just wonder if the library of included assets belongs to you or to RPG Maker. Because I don't plan to develop to RPG Maker, but for another projects of mine. The library appears to be really good, and the software really productive! If the library is nice, and I can use the characters I create outside RPG Maker, i'm definitely getting it and recommending for other people! THank you for ur time =]

I just got GCH and I am using RPGM2k3 and I didnt know the tileset merging was only for xp. Surely this cant be right? Well I tried multiple times even trying to save in 8bit as the wizard instructs me to do. I get an error most of the time because its more then 256 colors. Sometimes it will save but then it shows as all black tiles in game. I also tried the character creator and it made a char that was huge and had a black background.

How to Debug Your Code in R
Once you have written your code in R, it is important to know how to debug it. To err is human, and programmers fall into that "human" category as well. Nobody manages to write code without errors, so instead of wondering if you have errors in your code, you should ask yourself where you have errors in your code.
Know What to Look For in R
A bug is simply another word for some kind of error in your program. So, debugging doesn't involve insecticides — it just means getting rid of all type of semantic and/or logical errors in your functions.
Before you start hunting down bugs, you have to know what you're looking for. In general, you can divide errors in your code into three different categories:
Syntax errors: If you write code that R can't understand, you have syntax errors. Syntax errors always result in an error message and often are caused by misspelling a function or forgetting a bracket.
Semantic errors: If you write correct code that doesn't do what you think it does, you have a semantic error. The code itself is correct, but the outcome of that line of code is not. It may, for example, return another type of object than you expect. If you use that object further on, it won't be the type you think it is and your code will fail there.
Logic errors: Probably the hardest-to-find are errors in the logic of your code. Your code works, it doesn't generate any error or warning, but it still doesn't return the result you expect. The mistake is not in the code itself, but in the logic it executes.
This may seem like a small detail, but finding different types of bugs requires different strategies. Often, you can easily locate a syntax error by simply reading the error messages, but semantic errors pose a whole different challenge and logic errors can hide in your code without your being aware they exist.

Once in a generation, an idea comes along that is so perfect, so sublime, so incredibly simple yet bathed in the blinding light of genius, that all we can do is blink in wonderment. This, friends, is beer-flavored potato chips. Oh, and did we mention there's cheese?
Kettle Foods marketing director Peter Wilson said: "To our knowledge, this is the UK's first ever real beer-flavoured chip. As such, it will appeal to all lovers of good English ale.
We will now fulfill the promise we made in college, that if something like this ever came along we'd start attending church regularly. See you there.

Oregon Tech Online staff are experts in the areas of advising, transfer evaluations, course substitutions, tools for registration, and registration procedures. We are here to serve you during your academic program, so feel free to contact us whenever you need assistance or just want to check that you are on the right track.
Admitted undergraduate students have a transfer evaluation done after admission. When this review process begins, you will receive an email from our Registrar's office notifying you that part, or possibly all, of your evaluation has been completed. Once you receive this email, you will be able to log in to Web for Student, as instructed below, to see the evaluation. You will need your student ID number to log into your Web for Student account.
The Online Office works as quickly as possible to complete evaluations. Once we have all your records, your evaluation may take a few days, or possibly a few weeks, depending on your number of transfer credits and the number of student records currently being evaluated. Our office will contact you when your evaluation is complete.
"No equivalency" next to a course title does not necessarily indicate that the course will not transfer to Oregon Tech. Courses with this notation are currently being researched to determine equivalency. Changes to the transfer evaluation will be made once the course equivalencies are determined. Check your evaluation regularly until all your courses and transcripts have been fully evaluated.
If you have any questions, please let our office know (866.497.0008). It is very helpful if you can provide your Student ID number when you call so that we can provide more efficient service. Thank you for your patience.

1 February marks the launch of an all-new season of FIFA Predictor, the daily match prediction game that could send you and a friend to the 2014 FIFA World Cup™!
The two main prizes for the 2013 season of FIFA Predictor are trips to the FIFA World Cup while monthly winners will receive a customized football jersey from a 2010 FIFA World Cup team of their choice. (The new season runs from 1 February to 31 December 2013.) Here's what you need to know about FIFA Predictor 2013:
Sign up and activate
- If you are not already a Club member you will need to sign up before being able to play FIFA Predictor. The registration process is quick and straightforward. Sign up here.
- Log in to your Club account and activate FIFA Predictor (you can find the game in both the Activities and Club House sections of the Club).
- Agree to the Terms and Conditions of the game (you will only need to do this once this season).
Making your predictions
Once you have completed the above steps you are ready to make your first prediction! Simply view the list of upcoming fixtures (located in the My Predictions section of the game) and make your selection. You can only predict one match at a time. Once your selected match hits full-time you will be able to make your next prediction. You can change your current prediction at any time before the match kicks off but not once it has started.
The aim of the game is to build up the best prediction streak within one round (each round is one month long and there are 11 rounds in the 2013 season of FIFA Predictor). If you make an incorrect prediction your streak drops to 0 and you start again. At the begging of every month the monthly leaderboard is reset, giving everyone a chance to start a round fresh. The overall winner at the end of the season is the player that managed to record the longest prediction streak during the season.
Season prizes
The Grand Prize for FIFA Predictor is a trip to the 2014 FIFA World Cup where one lucky winner and their guest will get to watch all three of their favourite team's group stage matches! We are also giving away a trip to Brazil 2014 to one lucky runner-up. At the end of the season the players ranked from two (2) through ten (10) on the overall leaderboard will be placed into a random draw to win a trip for themselves and one (1) guest to the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil™ to watch one (1) group stage match in Brazil!
We hope you enjoy the new season of FIFA Predictor. Remember, the only way to win is to play often so be sure to visit us daily for new fixtures from top leagues all over the world. Good luck to all our predictors!

Volcanic Ash Reroutes Transport of Afghan War Wounded
- Details

- Last Updated: Tuesday, 20 April 2010 06:19

Defense officials decided to transport war wounded to Balad, Iraq, to increase troops' level of survival and to maintain medical capacity in Bagram, home to the primary U.S. medical center in Afghanistan, Air Force Brig. Gen. Steven L. Kwast said.
"It's all driven by the requirement medically that that intermediate stop saves lives, and it needs to be done," Kwast, commander of the 455th Expeditionary Air Wing, told Pentagon reporters.
While Balad does not have the same capacity as the Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany, where troops normally receive care before returning to the United States for further treatment, Kwast said, the military has taken measures to ensure care at the Iraq-based facility is comparable.
"The reality is that there is no degradation in care because we're going to Balad instead of Landstuhl," he said.
Discussing the need to maintain capacity at the field hospital in Bagram, Kwast cited last year's battle at Combat Outpost Keating. Fighting that erupted at the remote U.S. military camp near the Pakistan border left eight American troops killed and 24 wounded, necessitating a field hospital equipped for handling mass casualties.
"We have to be prepared at a moment's notice for something like a COP Keating or a devastating attack by the enemy," he said. "To have that capacity ready at our hands means we have to move those wounded soldiers [to Iraq], and we have to move them in a way that allows us that capacity to be prepared for the unexpected."
Kwast said the military is using flight paths that circumvent the ash plume when transporting those wounded and killed in action, albeit on different flights.
"There has been no degradation in the speed and the efficiency and the dignity and respect with which those remains have come back home since the volcanic eruption," he said.
A plume of ash that began erupting last week continues to block European and transatlantic flight paths, including those of American military aircraft. Thousands of commercial and military flights ranging from Ireland to the Ukraine have been cancelled as the Eyjafjallajokull volcano continues to spew ash.
In addition to rerouting Afghan war casualties, the U.S. military has made other adjustments. American bases in Mildenhall and Lakenheath, England, and Ramstein and Spangdahlem air bases in Germany have been affected by the ash plume.
"There are no flight ops due to the mandatory declaration and suspension of flights from EuroControl," Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman said yesterday. EuroControl is the equivalent of the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration.
"We still have a solid contingency plan for evacuating our wounded out of [the U.S. Central Command area], and we've relocated some of our aeromedical evacuation aircraft to Rota, Spain, along with medical teams that provide for care all along the route," Whitman added.

AutoWeek has unearthed photos of a four-door Porsche prototype of the early 1990s that may be the spiritual predecessor to the company's upcoming Panamera. The Porsche 989 one-off was a rear-engined (as opposed to the front-engined Panamera) prototype based on the 911, though with several styling and suspension improvements that would show up in later 911s. Although Porsche officials claim the company never released photos of the prototype — and said the car had been destroyed in 1991 after production plans were shelved — the 989 had already been photographed by a German magazine. Moreover, the car likely still exists in some Porsche facility, under deeper cover than an KGB agent sweeping up at Wal-Mart.

Iran has doubled the number of uranium enrichment machines it has in an underground bunker, a U.N. report said on Thursday, showing Tehran continued to defy Western pressure to stop its atomic work and the threat of Israeli attack.
In the weeks and months when Israeli politicians increased their talk of air strikes on Iran's nuclear sites, the Islamic Republic was rapidly increasing the enrichment capacity of its Fordow site, buried deep underground to withstand any such hit.
The U.N. International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said in its quarterly report on Iran that the number of centrifuges at Fordow, near the holy Shi'ite Muslim city of Qom, about 130 km (80 miles) from the capital Tehran, had more than doubled to 2,140 from 1,064 in May.
The new machines were not yet operating, it said.
RECOMMENDED: How well do you know Iran? Take the quiz
Iran's supreme leader repeated this week that Iran's nuclear program was entirely peaceful. "Our motto is nuclear energy for all and nuclear weapons for none," Ayatollah Ali Khamenei told a developing nations summit in Tehran.
But the expansion in enrichment infrastructure and the increasing in stockpiles of potent nuclear material revealed in the report will do nothing to allay fears or reduce the diplomatic and sanctions pressure on Iran.
The report showed that Iran had produced nearly 190 kg (418 pounds) of higher-grade enriched uranium since 2010, up from 145 kg in May.
Iran says it needs this material - which is much purer than fuel needed for electricity generation - for a medical research reactor, but it also takes it significantly closer to making potential bomb material.
The IAEA also expressed concerns about Parhcin, a military site south of the capital that it wants to inspect for evidence of past nuclear weapons development.
"Significant ground scraping and landscaping have been undertaken over an extensive area at and around the location," it said.
Five buildings had been demolished and power lines, fences and paved roads removed, the report said, "extensive activities" that would hamper its investigation if granted access.
"The activities observed ... further strengthen the agency's assessment that it is necessary to have access to the location at Parchin without further delay", the IAEA said.
Iran says Parchin is a conventional military facility and has dismissed the allegations about it as "ridiculous".
Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi, meeting U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon in Tehran on Thursday, was quoted by Iranian state TV as saying: "The West has put sanctions on Iran for years, however the Iranian nation continues to resist and make progress."
A Western diplomat said the doubling of enrichment capacity at Fordow was a "worrying trend" showing that Tehran continued to expand its program.

Carle Looks to Acquire Hoopeston Hospital
Urbana-based Carle Foundation Hospital is moving forward to buy Hoopeston Community Memorial Hospital. An application filed with the Illinois Health Facilities and Review Board lists the purchase price is $2.7 million dollars.
Carle also says the proposed transaction will ensure residents of Hoopeston continue to have access to critical services through Carle's capital loan commitments to Hoopeston; specifically, Hoopeston's Emergency and Surgery Department project.
Carle Foundation hopes to complete the transaction by October 1st. The proposal, however, must first be approved by the Illinois Health Facilities and Review Board.
The application says having the Hoopeston facility affiliated with Carle would further enhance the quality of health care services provided to the residents of Hoopeston and Vermilion County. ''Moreover,'' says the application, ''the proposed transaction will help promote a sustainable model of health care in the Hoopeston community through better cost control, increased efficiency, shared technology, shared purchasing, consolidation of services, and integrated clinical protocols of care.''

How to Use the Images
(Bureau of Reclamation; Ben Glaha, photographer)
1. Reread Lesson No. 5 in Reading 2. In addition to drilling holes for dynamite, the scalers also knocked unstable rock loose by hand. Why was this work necessary?
2. What safety equipment can you find in this picture? How much protection do you think it offered against rock falling down from above? Look at the upper right hand corner of the image. This shows the floor of the canyon, hundreds of feet below. Do you think the safety equipment would have kept the men from falling?
3. How many high scalers can you find in this photo? Other historic photos show dense rows of men working close together on the canyon walls. How safe do you think this would have been?
4. Many newspapers and magazines featured descriptions and images of the "high scalers." Why do you think they did that? Do you think you would have wanted to do work like this? Why or why not?

Mayor's Office
Mayor Chris Beutler said the City will again be using private contractors and staff from other City divisions and departments for pothole repair starting Tuesday. The City added contracted crews and diverted City staff from January 27 through February 3 to increase the City's response to the pothole emergency. During the first five weeks of 2010, crews have filled close to 24,000 potholes throughout the City.
Our increased efforts had a big impact - by the middle of last week, crews had pretty much caught up on the backlog of pothole calls," Mayor Beutler said. "But the rain, snow and cold conditions since then have cause two problems - the fill in some of the potholes, especially those along the curbs, has come loose. New potholes also have formed. It's time to redouble our efforts again.
To respond to last night's light snow and cold temperatures, Public Works and Utilities began material spreading operations at 3 a.m. with 19 one-person crews. As those workers finish, they are joining 10 other City crews now working on potholes. Pothole repair crews generally include two or three workers. In addition to the private contractors, Public Works will again use staff from the Water and Wastewater Division, the Traffic Division and the Parks and Recreation Department starting tomorrow.
The Mayor again urged the public to drive carefully when they are in the area of a street repair crew. Public Works officials remind residents that all repairs being made now are temporary because crews are using a "cold mix." to fill the potholes. The "hot mix" used for permanent repairs is not available at this time of the year.
Residents can report potholes and other non-emergency street problems in three ways:

D.C. Elementary Student Disappointed That President Obama's Not Beyonce
President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama made a surprise stop at The Inspired Teaching School, a Washington, D.C., charter school, on Thursday afternoon to participate in a community service project.
He and other volunteers filled backpacks with books and toys for homeless children at the Inspired Teaching School to mark the September 11th National Day of Service and Remembrance. The president also assisted volunteers in building an outdoor playground.
The visit came much to the dismay of a young girl, who had hoped the surprise visitor would be Beyoncé Knowles.

Cubs @ Brewers
For the first time this year, the Chicago Cubs will play at Miller Park. After dropping two of three to the Astros, the Crew enters the series with a bit of a limp. But nothing helps a team get upright like good pitching and the two aces, CC Sabathia and Ben Sheets, will kick off the most anticipated regular season series of the year.
As excited as everyone is about the showdown, remember, it's only July. The Brewers and Cubs will play 10 more times the rest of the year.
Some numbers:
The Cubs are 22-30 on the road and have lost 13 of the last 19 away from Wrigley.
Since April 22, CC Sabathia is 10-5, 1.97, best in the Majors.
Ted Lilly's road ERA is 3.48 (5.34 at home) and since June 1st (5gs), it's 2.23.
These teams own the best two records in the National League. Milwaukee leads the season series 4-2, with all six games played in Chicago.
While the Brewers have won seven straight and nine of their last 10 on the road, they are just 4-6 in their last 10 home contests.
Chicago averages 6.2 runs per game at home, versus 4.3 on the road.
Only the Rockies have a larger difference between their home and road scoring.
Alfonso Soriano is batting .405 in nine career games at Miler Park (17-for-42), with three home runs and eight RBI.
CC Sabathia is 4-0 with three complete games and a 1.36 ERA since his trade to Milwaukee. In his only career start against the Cubs (June 21, 2006), Sabathia allowed a career-high-tying nine earned runs in 2.1 innings.
In 10 games since the All-Star break, Ryan Braun is hitting .452 (19-for-42) with five homers and 14 RBI. Braun is hitting .407 vs the Cubs.
You can watch all four games on FSN Wisconsin (HD the first three games) with John Walsh producing and Michael Oddino directing.
Enjoy the week.

I personally think that the Brewers need two show that they can handle tuff teams like the Cubs. sometimes they show how good they are and also I think the Brewers took the Sweep 2 the Cubs Lightly.

Writing an Axis2 Service from Scratch
Axis2 has designed and implemented in a way that makes the end user's job easier. Once he has learnt and understood the Axis2 basics, working with Axis2 is very convenient. Discussing Axis2 basic and its architecture is obviously out of scope of this document; if you are interesting in those topics, there are enough documents for reference. There are slight changes in the way that you implement a service in Axis2 and Axis1. Axis2 introduced a new way of deploying a service as an archive file where you bundle all your service-related resources, services classes, and third-party libraries, and then deploy the archive file.
A Web service is obviously an application deployed in a Web service engine. Service implementation, service descriptors, and the way of deploying them vary one engine to another. No matter what Web service engine you are using, there are two main approaches to writing a Web service:
- Contract first approach: Starting from a WSDL file
- Code first approach: Starting from a source code
The recommended way to write a service is to start from a WSDL file, but the code first approach is still valid; most developers use that technique for their application. One of the concerns with the contract first approach is writing the WSDL document to match his requirement; that obviously requires a good knowledge of WSDL.
Code first approach
If you are new to the world of Web services, your knowledge of WSDL may not enough to write your own WSDL file and then create the service using the WSDL document. So, the best way is to start from a Java class and learn how to expose the Java class as a Web service.
At runtime, no one can understand whether the service was created using code first approach or contract first approach because what you have at the runtime is a set of Java classes. There are three main steps involve in creating a new Web service using the code first approach in Axis2:
- Write the service implementation class.
- Write a service descriptor (services.xml).
- Create a service archive file.
Writing the service implementation class
There is no magic involved or no special things to remember when writing a service implementation class. If you are trying to use Axis2's advanced features such as session management and service life cycle, of course you have to do few additional things. But, for a simple Web service, it is very straightforward to write the service implementation class. The following code snippet demonstrates what the service implementation class for the "hello" Web service looks like.
public class HelloWorld { public String sayHello(String name) { return "Hello " + name; } }
This simple Java class has one public method. It takes a string name as an argument and returns a string value as the result.
Writing the services.xml file
To be a valid service in Axis2 when deploying as an archive file, you have to have services.xml inside the service archive file. services.xml is nothing but the deployment descriptor for the service that you are trying to deploy. The service deployment descriptor will tell the deployment module how to configure and deploy the service. Writing a services.xml for service mentioned above is very simple and very straightforward. There are few things you have to remember when writing such a services.xml file:
- Fully qualified class name of the service implementation class
- Message receiver or receivers that you are going to use
Note: Axis2 has a set of built-in message receivers; some of them can only handle a XML-in, XML-out scenario; those are called RawXML message receivers. Meanwhile, there are message receivers that can handle any kind of JavaBeans + simple Java types + XML; those are called RPC message receivers. According to the sample code above, it is obvious that you can use none of the RawXML message receivers for this particular service, so the simple answer is to use RPC message receivers.
There are different ways to write services.xml; they vary depending on the way you specify the message receivers, operation overriding, and so forth. You should start with very basic services.xml to understand the concept very easily, so the services.xml corresponding to the service above can be written as follows:
<service> <description> This is my first service, which says hello </description> <parameter name="ServiceClass">HelloWorld</parameter> <operation name="sayHello"> <messageReceiver class="org.apache.axis2.rpc.receivers.RPCMessageReceiver"/> </operation> </service>
I have bolded few lines in services.xml above; those are the important XML tags that you have to remember when writing a services.xml.
Service implementation class
To specify the corresponding service implementation class, you need to add a parameter with the name ServiceClass; the value of that parameter should be the fully qualified name of the service implementation class.
Specifying the message receiver
There are a few ways to specify the message receiver for a given service. One way is to add the operation tag with the actual Java method name and include the message receiver inside the operation tag. The services.xml mentioned above has followed this approach. As you can see, the service implementation class has a method called sayHello, and services.xml has an operation tag with the same name. Inside the operation element ,it has added the message receiver element.
Creating a service archive file
The next step is to create a service archive file by putting the compile codes of the service implementation class and services.xml. The inside folder structure of the service archive file will look like the following:
HelloWorld.aar META-INF Services.xml HelloWorld.class
Deploying the service is just a matter of dropping the service archive file into the services directory in your aixs2 server repository. If your server is Tomcat, you easily can upload the service by using axis2 Web administration console.
Note: In this case, the name of the deployed service will be HelloWorld.
Different ways of specifying message receivers
As mentioned above, there are a few ways to specify message receivers for a given service:
- Specify the message receiver at the operation level for each operation.
- Specify all the message receivers at the service level for the whole service.
- Specify service level message receiver and override them by operations as and when required.
Specify the message receiver at the operation level
The example described above has used the first approach, where it has specified the message receiver at the operation level.
Specify message receivers at the service level for whole the service
Think about the scenario where you have a large number of operations to be published in services.xml; in this case, adding a message receiver for each and every operation seems useless. If you can specify a message receiver for whole service, it makes the service author's job easier and simplifies services.xml as well.
Axis2 has built-in support for all the eight MEPs (Message Exchange Pattern) defined in WSDL 2.0. In services.xml, you can specify the MEP and corresponding message receiver, and then, depending on who the MEP operation belongs to, axis2 automatically picks up the message receiver and sets the selected message receiver to the operation.
Note: Inside the operation tag in services.xml, you can add an attribute to specify the MEP of the operation as follows:<operation name="sayHello" mep="http://www.w3.org/2004/08/wsdl/in-out" />
Defining the service level message receivers for a given service is as shown below:
According to services.xml, RPCMessageReceiver is the message receiver for all the in-out operations (for any operation that belongs to in-out, MEP will assign this message receiver as its message receiver) in the service; in the meantime, the service level message receiver for in-only MEP is RPCInOnlyMessageReceiver. If you redeploy the HelloWorld service with a new services.xml, you will definitely get the same result if you invoke the service again.
Specify the service level message receiver and override them by operations
There may be instances where the service author wants to use different message receiver for one or two operations while he has defined service level message receivers. To override service level message receiver by operation can be easily achieved by just adding message receiver element to the operation that you want to override. A sample services.xml which follows this technique is shown below.
Operation sayHello uses a different message receiver than its service level message receivers.
Note: All the public methods in the service implementation class are exposed whether you specified that in services.xml or not. Axis2 calculates the MEP of an operation by checking its corresponding java method. If the method is void, the MEP will be in-only; else, it will be in-out, depending on which MEP message receiver will be set.

The cafe has always worn Chris' pro-Palestinian policies pretty prominently on its sleave. It sells Zaytoun olive oil. There are maps of the encroachment of the Settlements on Palestinian lands. Earlier this year, a blackboard which changes its content regularly started saying "Please boycott Israel. Thank you." Then, a few weeks ago, as I noted here, this changed to something like "We don't sell any Israeli goods. We are not anti-semitic; we are anti-fascist. Jews are as welcome here as anyone else." While I believe that any private individual or business has the right to buy or not buy from anyone they choose, there was something about that "Jews are as welcome here as anyone else" that made me feel really uncomfortable. My posting provoked a (for this blog) extensive debate.
Chris replied here, rather perfunctorily and intemperately. This prompted a long response from David Hirsh, a customer of the cafe, articulating more or less my view.
"But now I don't feel as though I'm welcome there anymore, in spite of the sign which says that Jews are welcome. Or perhaps because of that sign."I think that Chris took some of the responses to heart, including the way a "Jews welcome" sign makes people feel. He replied:
"Fair enough, I can now see that it was a mistake to write 'Jews are as welcome here as anyone else' in that it has been taken, by many people, in exactly the opposite way that it was intended (but perhaps I should have foreseen that – I apologise)."However, he didn't get a lot of the other points.
David also posted his comment on Engage, and that elicited a very heated debate. Chris' response provoked even more. Then the issue was taken up by the Jewish Chronicle and the Jerusalem Post - the latter mentioning this blog. Predictably, anti-Zionists like Deborah Fink and Mark Elf are now going to Cafe Crema to demonstrate their solidarity. The latter describes this site as "the blog of a zionist", which might make some of my Zionist readers chuckle. (I recently posted a comment asking what made him think I'm a Zionist: still awaiting moderation.)
Equally predictably, some Engage readers are calling for a boycott of Crema, or for pressure to be put on Goldsmiths as their landlord to get Chris to change his policy. I think this is utterly wrong. As David says, "most people involved in the boycott campaign are not Jew-haters. They have just stumbled into antisemitic politics." I believe in winning the arguments, persuading people - not in issuing counter-boycotts or using indirect legal pressure.
I have also been thinking about what it means when someone takes a particular interest in an issue, in a lop-sided way. Chris acknowledges that Palestine is his passion, his issue - but also that it is not necessarily the most important issue. My sister used to be very involved in Central American politics, and if there was such a thing, say, as Contra wine, she would have boycotted it - without claiming that Central America is the most important issue in the world. People have the right to have these sorts of passions. Unfortunately, though, there is a cultural matrix by which Israel-Palestine has become unlike other regional issues. It has become a shibboleth, a cultural code by which certain sorts of people recognise each other. This is partly what makes Chris' stance hard to deal with but important to respond to.
P.S. More from Modernity (1 & 2).

Artists and Fleas, an artists and designers market that has become a Williamsburg institution at their location on North 6th Street will be expanding into McCarren Park for a summer engagement. The popular market has served as a venue for countless up-and-coming fashion designers, artists, and craft makers since it was created in 2003, and its curators have partnered with OSA to create a neighborhood-focused, open-air bazaar that will not only showcase local artists, but feature live performances and positive community programming.
The organizers are expecting between 35 and 50 vendors and the table fees will be split between OSA and the Parks Department, and will ultimately go back into improving the programming and infrastructure of McCarren Park.
"We've been looking to interact in a more meaningful way with the community, and showcase the creative side of the neighborhood to a broader audience," said Ronen Glimer, co-creator of Artists and Fleas. "We began speaking with OSA, and it seemed like a great opportunity to do that and raise some funds for the park at the same time."
The new outdoor market, officially known as Artists and Fleas Presents the Market at McCarren in Partnership with OSA, will be located at the north end of the park, adjacent to the equipment facility. A short walk from McCarren's green market, the artists market too will be open on Saturdays, creating a shopping extravaganza for North Brooklynites looking to buy locally produced fruits, vegetables, clothing, and art in the summer sun. Both markets will be complemented by non-amplified musical performances and creative performances.
"This is a tremendous opportunity that will benefit residents of the area by bringing new programming to the park," said Stephanie Thayer, executive director of OSA. "It's a great way to take the artistic constituency of the neighborhood and make them a part of our parks."
In addition to merchandise and performances, the new market will also allot space for a variety of non-profit and community organizations.
"We want to do education and outreach as well," said Glimer. "We're looking to do something about bicycling, and we are planning a day focused around 'greening' McCarren Park."
Many of the vendors currently involved at Artists and Fleas will be expanding to the new market, although they are seeking new vendors who specifically want to sell at McCarren Park as well. "Our hope is that the new market will complement the original Artists and Fleas," said Glimer.
The partnership between Artists and Fleas and OSA has yielded results that are exciting the community, and both groups hope that it is the beginning of a long relationship. Though only scheduled to run on Saturdays between May and September, Glimer hopes that the market and similar ventures will continue to improve McCarren Park for years to come.
"I hope that this season will become a model for future partnerships, " said Glimer.

NAIA Softball Players of the Week - No. 2
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Katie Cotta of Concordia (Calif.) has been tabbed as the NAIA National Softball Pitcher of the Week and Stephanie Nippert of Corban (Ore.) has been named the NAIA National Softball Player of the Week, the national office announced Tuesday. The duo was chosen, based on their performances from March 11 - 17 out of a pool of conference player of the week selections among 21 conference/independent/unaffiliated groupings.
Cotta, a 5-foot-6 senior from Stockton, Calif., has now thrown a school-record three-straight no-hitters, including two last week. She struck out 26 batters in 14 innings and only allowed two base runners. She held down hitters from Hope International (Calif.) on March 12 and Vanguard (Calif.) on March 16 in a pair of 5-0 wins.
Currently, Cotta ranks second in the nation in strikeouts (126), 10th in ERA (.210), and 11th in wins (10). Cotta leads the Golden State Athletic Conference in all three of those categories. She has now thrown a school-record eight career no hitters, with four this season. She is 10-1 on the year with seven complete games and 67.0 innings pitched.
Nippert, a 5-foot-8 senior first baseman from Rocklin, Calif., batted .667 with four home runs and eight RBIs in four wins last week. She went 6-for-9 from the dish, with eight runs scored and posted a 2.000 slugging percentage. The NAIA leader in home runs (13), Nippert smacked the game-winning roundtripper against College of Idaho on March 15. After that homer, she was walked all three times that she stepped to the plate in Game No. 2 to bring her season total to 14 free passes. Another highlight came against Eastern Oregon on March 16, when she went 3-for-3 with four runs scored and hit two homers.
Among all NAIA players, Nippert leads the country in total home runs and home runs per game (0.591), while ranking in the Top 10 nationally in nine other statistical categories.

A lipoma is a growth of fat
cells in a thin, fibrous capsule usually found just below the skin. Lipomas are
found most often on the torso, neck, upper thighs, upper arms, and armpits, but
they can occur almost anywhere in the body. One or more lipomas may be present
at the same time. Lipomas are the most common noncancerous soft tissue
The cause of lipomas is not
completely understood, but the tendency to develop them is inherited. A minor
injury may trigger the growth. Being overweight does not cause lipomas.
Often the most bothersome symptom is the location or
increased size that makes the lipoma noticeable by others.
A lipoma can usually be
diagnosed by its appearance alone, but your health professional may want to
remove it to make sure the growth is noncancerous.
Lipomas do not generally
require treatment. Because lipomas are not cancerous growths and cannot become
cancerous, they do not need to be removed. There is no known treatment to
prevent lipomas or affect their growth.
A lipoma may be surgically
removed if symptoms develop, such as if the lipoma:
Most lipomas can be removed in the doctor's office or
outpatient surgery center. The doctor injects a
local anesthetic around the lipoma, makes an incision
in the skin, removes the growth, and closes the incision with stitches
(sutures). If the lipoma is in an area of the body that cannot be easily
reached through a simple incision in the skin, the lipoma may need to be
removed in the operating room under
general anesthesia.
Lipomas occur in all
age groups but most often appear in middle age. Single lipomas occur with equal
frequency in men and women. Multiple lipomas occur more frequently in
