Do you know who Taiwan's earliest inhabitants are? They are Taiwan's indigenous tribes. Archaeologists believe they migrated to Taiwan from mainland Asia, or present day southeastern China, thousands of years ago. And from here they spread to the Pacific Islands, as well as to Southeast Asia, forming the Austronesian diaspora. But intermarrying and assimilation with bigger tribes as well as the majority Han Chinese race in Taiwan led to the population of Taiwan's indigenous tribes declining. One of the smallest tribes, the Hla'alua, which has less than 400 people, earlier this month held its most important annual festival in southern Taiwan's Kaohsiung City. The festival includes a ceremony in which the tribespeople honor their Shell God. According to the tribe's legend, holy spirits and ancestors' souls hide inside the shell. Participants in the ceremony also prayed for blessings, abundant harvests and a growth in their population. Most importantly, they wanted to pass on the millennia-old cultural traditions so they don't die out. Help them by watching one of their dances.

Session Roundup!
The 23rd edition of The Session is finished. I would like to thank Stan Heironymus, Jay Brooks, and all the others who created and developed the concept of a Beer Blogging Friday, for allowing me to participate. It was fun and, during the course of the last month's activities, I've become aware of a tiny portion of the great number of really good beer blogs out there!
If you have a beer blog and you haven't hosted a Session, yet, you really should do so. It has been a great learning experience for me! If you want to find out about the breadth and depth of the beer blogging universe, this is a very good start!
Here is the roundup (in no particular order):
Ron, at HopTalk tells us what five things he won't miss about 2008. I have to agree with him on most of them, too!
Stan at Appellation Beer, gives us a list of things he will miss about 2008 (hint: sleeping in a parking lot is one of them!) and a smaller list of the things he hopes to see in the coming year.
Rob, at Sophisticated Brews, lists some of the things he eagerly awaits in 2009 (having posted a year-in-review a few days ago...). One of these is more cask ales...hooray for session beers!
David, at Musings Over a Pint, puts a local spin on the topic, listing what he will miss in the Virginia beer scene and what might adequately replace it...
The Beer Nut gives us some of his plans for the coming year and a very simple, but eminently sensible, answer to what he'll miss about 2008.
Mario, at Brewed for Thought, makes his case for the Zappa series from Lagunitas and has big hopes for Pliny the Younger.
Steph at Beer and Food Love gives an exciting and lengthy list of personal "firsts" in 2008 and hopes for even more of the same in 2009. Go homebrewers!
Mark, at Beercraft, offers a couple of beers he will miss and some ambitious plans for the coming year.
Shaun, at 21st Amendment, gives us a review of the past year's financial difficulties in the brewing biz and a celebration of a new trend he hopes to see continue in the coming year: Collaboration Brews (Way to go, Melissa Myers!).
Jimmy, at Hopwild, says he doesn't miss much about 2008, but is looking forward to a better 2009. I'll second that!
Lew Bryson, at Seen Through a Glass, will miss a few very specific things from 2008 and has guarded hope for the new year.
Brewmaster Matt, from A World of Brews, thinks 2008 was pretty darn good and plans for more beery good times in the coming year!
Tom, from Yours for Good Fermentables, has a few regrets about 2008 and some great expectations for 2009!
Keith, at Brainard Brewing, tells us what he missed in 2008 and that he plans on rectifying that in 2009!
Joe, at The Thirsty Pilgrim, cries us a river over his missed Belgian beer opportunities and has a very special arrival to look forward to in 09!
Jon, at The Brew Site, says he misses one specific beer (a really good one!) and looks forward to "more Beer" in 2009.
couchand, at I'll Have a Beer, has some thoughts on the hop crisis and some sour predictions for 2009.
Thomas, at Geistbear Brewing Blog, misses some old haunts but looks forward to new ones, too.
Rob, at Pfiff!, examines the brewing extremes and, perhaps, the not so extreme in the coming year?
Jay, from Brookston Beer Bulletin, describes the past year as a "miserly little year that took more than it gave" (well-said!) and waxes philosophical in his offering.
Peter, from Better Beer Blog, compares last year to a trip to the Magic Kingdom and "hopes" for more and better next year.
Beckel, at Legal Beer, will miss growlers at Surly's and is looking forward to a special collaboration beer with a twist!
Brad, at La Petite Brasserie, identifies his travels and the great real ales he discovered as the thing he'll miss most from '08, and brewing more of those great English Milds in the coming year is what he's excited about. I'm down with that!
Next month's Session will be hosted at Musing Over a Pint, by Dave Turley. Look for a topic to be announced soon, there.

Thanks for hosting. Some interesting articles from my fellow bloggers.
By the by, the direct link to Ron's contribution is http://hop-talk.com/2009/01/02/session-23-what-i-will-not-miss-from-2008/

Thanks, I thought I had it but obviously posted the general link. I just fixed it.
I really can't tell you how much I enjoyed this exercise. I learned a lot and bookmarked a whole bunch of blogs!

My brother got me a couple of assorted 12 packs for my birthday: Saranac and Red Hook.
- Beerme said...
Saranac makes some very good beers. I'm only familiar with Red Hook's ESB, though.
So many beers, so little time...
- beckel said...
So, I'm dumb and completely forgot to comment with a link to my session post, dang busy Fridays. Sorry for the latency and thank for the topic.
- Brian said...
I like it! I've got to admit the first time I say "the session" I just assumed that it was in reference to the Brewing Network podcast. I should have looked more into this origanally. Thanks for posting these, I'm reading back into previous posts right after I enter in my word verification :)

Yeah, pretty cool, huh?

Hey, if they don't want us using the city as a toilet, they should make more public bathrooms right? Axixa provides an easy solution to peeing in the city while maintaining that invigorating outdoorsy experience.
The Axixa concept involves installing urinals outside of buildings—urinals with a classy pee-stain aesthetic. I'm not sure how these would work exactly, but even if the urinals weren't inappropriately shaped I don't see local businesses going for it. So, I recommend sticking with Ray Tempus' 15-Point Guide to Peeing In the City. It's an urban survival guide that will teach you everything you need to know. [The Design Blog]

Juliette Rooney-Varga is Director of the UMass Lowell Climate Change Initiative and an Associate Professor of Environmental Biology. Rooney-Varga's research has been supported by the National Science Foundation, NOAA, MIT-Sea Grant, Sigma Xi, the Massachusetts Water Resources Research Center, and UMass Lowell. Rooney-Varga's research has lead her to study both climate change impacts and solutions. For example, she has analyzed microbes that naturally occur in Arctic peatlands and are responsible for the production of methane, a potent heat-trapping gas. As the Arctic warms, methane production is expected to increase, forming an important climate change-carbon cycle feedback that could amplify global warming. She is also studying microorganisms that can generate electricity from organic matter in soil, which can be used as a renewable energy source or to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions from organic wastes.

WASHINGTON -- Leaders of a Senate panel that oversees U.S. intelligence issues said Thursday it has approved a plan to scale back how many American telephone records the National Security Agency can sweep up. But critics of U.S. surveillance programs and privacy rights experts said the bill does little, if anything, to end the daily collection of millions of records that has spurred widespread demands for reform.
Legislation by the Senate Intelligence Committee, which was approved by an 11-4 vote, would increase congressional and judicial oversight of intelligence activities. It also would create 10-year prison sentences for people who access the classified material without authorization, according to a statement released by committee chairwoman Sen. Dianne Feinstein, a Democrat, and Sen. Saxby Chambliss, the panel's top Republican.
Just how far it would scale back the bulk collection of Americans' telephone records was unclear.
The statement said the plan would ban bulk collection of records "under specific procedures and restrictions." Chambliss spokeswoman Lauren Claffey said some of the telephone metadata collection would continue, so long as intelligence officials followed rules for how it can be used.
Only certain people would have access to the phone data, according to the bill. It also would bar the NSA from obtaining the content of the phone calls. The current program only allows the NSA to collect phone numbers and times of calls and cannot listen in on phone calls without a warrant from a secret court.
"The threats we face -- from terrorism, proliferation and cyberattack, among others -- are real, and they will continue," Feinstein said in the statement. "Intelligence is necessary to protect our national and economic security, as well as to stop attacks against our friends and allies around the world."
She said "more can and should be done" to increase transparency of the surveillance and build public support for privacy protections.
But Rep. Adam Schiff, a Democrat who sits on the House Intelligence Committee, said the legislation allows the bulk collection to continue under certain safeguards. He called the safeguards a positive first step but said the NSA should stop sweeping up Americans' phone records and only obtain those that are connected to a specific terror plot.
Privacy advocates who have long called for the end of broad government snooping objected to the bill, which they said would merely legalize the surveillance that the NSA has quietly undertaken since 2006.
David Segal, executive director of advocacy group Demand Progress, said "Lawmakers must immediately recognize this legislation for the sham that it is -- and reject it outright."
The Senate intelligence bill rivals one put forward earlier this week, by House and Senate judiciary committees, that would eliminate the phone data collection program that was revealed earlier this year in classified documents that were released to the media by NSA leaker Edward Snowden.
The dueling legislation means that Congress ultimately will have to decide how broadly the U.S. government can conduct surveillance on its own citizens in the name of protecting Americans from terror threats.
Polls indicate that Americans widely oppose the surveillance program.
Meanwhile, the NSA issued a more forceful statement rejecting reports that it illegally collected millions of records from communications links between Yahoo and Google data centers around the world.
The Washington Post, citing documents obtained from Snowden, has reported that the NSA sent records from the companies' internal servers to data warehouses at the agency's headquarters.
The NSA said such reports have "misstated facts, mischaracterized NSA's activities, and drawn erroneous inferences about those operations." In a detailed statement, the agency said its activities are conducted in accordance with law and policy. And it said the data collection goes after valid foreign intelligence targets that often use communications over satellite links, microwave towers and fiber-optic cables.
"U.S. service provider communications make use of the same information superhighways as a variety of other commercial service providers," the agency said. "NSA must understand and take that into account in order to eliminate information that is not related to foreign intelligence."
Under normal procedures, the NSA is required to sort data based on relevant potential threats and seek additional legal authorities to access the information if the communication involves an American.

Donald Trump lashed out on Monday at Republicans who have tried to tone down his rhetoric about election fraud, calling his party's leaders "so naive" and claiming without evidence that large-scale voter fraud is real.
Trump's claims were part of a Monday morning blast of tweets that took on his party, the women who've accused him of sexual misconduct, the media and Vice President Joe Biden.
The defensive barrage came while Republicans are under pressure to rebuke Trump's claims that the presidential election is "rigged" in Hillary Clinton's favor. The push reflects growing worries that their nominee's unsubstantiated rhetoric could erode public trust in elections and lead to damaging disputes if he loses.
U.S. & World
Trump's running mate, Mike Pence, declared Sunday the ticket will "absolutely accept the results of the election." But Trump seemed to brush back against his vice presidential pick.
"Of course there is large scale voter fraud happening on and before election day. Why do Republican leaders deny what is going on? So naive!" he tweeted Monday.
There is no evidence to back up Trump's claim of widespread voter fraud. A study by a Loyola Law School professor found that out of 1 billion votes cast in all American elections between 2000 and 2014, there were only 31 known cases of impersonation fraud.
Later on Monday, Trump laid out an ethics reform plan for a crowd of his supporters at a Green Bay, Wisconsin rally. Three of the state's most prominent Republicans — House Speaker Paul Ryan, Sen. Ron Johnson and Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker — avoided the event, as they've been trying to distance themselves from their party's nominee without retracting their official endorsements.
The GOP candidate reiterated his doubt about the legitimacy of the American electoral system and hit Hillary Clinton for allegations of "quid pro quo" negotiations between the FBI and the State Department before getting to the heart of his ethics reform package. One piece of the plan, Trump said, would be to ban all executive branch officials from lobbying the government for five years after leaving their posts. He said he'd also extend that ban to members of Congress.
He said he would "close all loopholes that former government officials use by labeling themselves consultants and advisors, when we all know they're lobbyists." In addition to his five-year ban, he said he would prevent senior executive branch officials for life from lobbying on behalf of foreign governments.
By focusing on closing loopholes for political insiders, Trump tried to highlight his potential to act as a reformer. He called Clinton's scandals "worse than Watergate."
The nominee also reasserted his stance that the women who've accused him of sexually inappropriate behavior are all lying.
Pence and other Republicans have tried to argue that Trump's claims of election-rigging refer to media bias in favor of Democrats. He points particularly to the reports on the allegations by several women, some of whom allege Trump's misconduct went as far as assault.
Trump pushed back against those women earlier Monday, tweeting: "Can't believe these totally phoney stories, 100% made up by women (many already proven false) and pushed big time by press, have impact!"
In another tweet, Trump linked to a video montage of Biden greeting and hugging women at various events. The Democrat has not been accused of sexual improprieties, but has raised eyebrows for his lingering or awkward embraces of women.
For Clinton, it was a quiet day of debate preparation with advisers near her home in New York. The final presidential debate is Wednesday night.
As the candidate prepares, Clinton's campaign continues to have to answer for the contents of hacked emails being released by the thousands by WikiLeaks. The most recent batch showed Clinton generally avoided direct criticism of Wall Street as she examined the causes and responses to the financial meltdown during a series of paid speeches to Goldman Sachs.
WikiLeaks said Monday that founder Julian Assange's internet access has been cut by an unidentified state actor. Few other details were immediately available.
The fraud concerns raised by Trump aren't new to Republicans. They often cite the risk of fraud as they make a case for tightening access to the polls through voter identification laws and other restrictions. But Trump's often repeated claim that the election is "rigged" as put the party in the unusual position of expressing faith in the legitimacy of the election system.
Leaders in both parties fear Trump's claims will encourage his most ardent supporters not to accept the results, leading to prolonged litigation, possible violence or hardened divisions — or some combination of the three. That could make it even difficult to govern and take a long-term toll on the democracy.
Even staunch conservatives have found themselves in the position of trying to gently walk back the nominee's remarks.
"I just don't think it's that constructive to make this a campaign issue," Rep. Steve King said Monday on CNN. The staunch conservative from Iowa said he shares Trump's worries about election fraud, but acknowledged Trump's claims are "partially unsubstantiated."
"I don't want to say anything on this program that delegitimizes our election," King said.

Some women breeze through their pregnancy without a single bout of nausea – no sickness, no vomiting, just sunshine and a beautiful baby when it's all over. Most women are not as lucky. When it comes down to it, nausea and vomiting are almost synonymous with pregnancy. It's one of the first symptoms that occur, and anyone who has ever experienced it will tell you that it's flat-out, undeniably miserable. Even if there's no miracle pill that will cure you of morning sickness completely, all hope is not lost. There are some things you can do to help alleviate symptoms.
Morning sickness can strike throughout the day and it's usually unavoidable, but your eating habits and the environment around you can both make it worse. If you've been feeling under the weather, try avoiding certain habits, foods, or activities.
- Miss a meal. It can actually make you feel sicker than if you ate in the first place.
- Eat greasy or spicy foods. The smell could make you sick, and they both can cause heartburn.
- Eat garlic, onion, or acidic fruits and vegetables. Different foods trigger morning sickness for everyone, but these are the worst.
- Drink when you eat. Drink in between meals instead.
- Drink alcohol. It's bad for the baby and bad for morning sickness.
- Drink products with high levels of caffeine; it can upset your stomach. Fizzy drinks like soda do help with nausea, but go for caffeine-free sodas like ginger ale. (Ginger also helps settle stomachs.)
- Allow yourself to get dehydrated. Try drinking smaller amounts of fluid often if it's bothering your stomach.
- Lie down for two hours after eating.
- Perform tasks that involve strong smells, such as cleaning with scented products.
- Perform rigorous workouts. If you get too hot, it could increase nausea.
- Smoke cigarettes or inhale second-hand smoke. Again, it's bad for the baby, but the smell will make you sick.
- Wear tight or formfitting clothes. If you are uncomfortable, you are likely to become nauseated.
- Get too stressed out; it makes symptoms worse. Try to take time each day to relax, and if you have to, reduce your workload. You'll feel much better.
No one wants to sit around feeling miserable, so be pro-active. Something as small as taking your prenatal vitamins later in the day if you have trouble keeping them down can make a huge difference. Here are some things you can do to help prevent or ease the symptoms of morning sickness:
- Eat plain and dry cereal before you get up in the morning. It's easy on your stomach, especially without the milk.
- Eat something salty before a meal. It helps to prevent vomiting if you've had trouble keeping food down.
- Eat more protein. Try small protein-rich snacks like nuts.
- Eat cold foods – they give off fewer odors.
- Eat small meals every two hours. Having an empty stomach will almost always make you feel sick.
- Eat and drink slowly.
- Drink carbonated or electrolyte-enriched drinks. They settle fussy stomachs and keep you hydrated.
- Nap during the day. Morning sickness will take a lot out of you and you'll always feel tired.
- Get out of bed slowly in the morning.
- Get a good night's sleep.
- Stay in a cool place. (Heat can make symptoms worse.)
- Cook and sleep in a well-ventilated room. This will keep strong odors from sticking around, and the fresh air will help alleviate symptoms.
The good news is there are some helpful remedies out there to help you ease morning sickness symptoms. Here are some herbal remedies:
- Preggie Pops: These lollipops contain essential oils and herbs that help reduce the effects of morning sickness.
- Ginger: Ginger is known to curb nausea. Try taking 250mg ginger capsules three times a day. If you have a sweet tooth, try some hard ginger lollipops or crystallized ginger (which is often coated in sugar – yum!). If you're having trouble keeping food down, freeze ginger ale in an ice cube tray to make ginger-ale ice cubes.
- Acupressure: Some women swear by it.
- Non-nausea inducing essential oil: Keep it in your purse at all times to cancel out any nausea-inducing smells.
- Vitamin B6: Take 50mg per day to reduce nausea. High doses are harmful to your baby, so don't take more than 200 mg a day.
- Herbal Tea: Peppermint or ginger tea can sooth your stomach.
Remember: Herbal supplements could also be contributing to your morning sickness. What benefited your pre-pregnancy body might not be suitable for you now, so discuss any medications that you're still taking with your doctor.More On

Jetty/Feature/Jetty OSGi
- 1 Introduction
- 2 Feature
- 3 Deployment of web-applications via OSGi
- 3.1 Support for RFC66
- 3.2 Internals and extensions to RFC66
- 4 Architecture
- 5 Next steps
- 6 Additional Resources
Jetty on OSGi consists of bootstrapping a standard jetty server from OSGi. It supports the deployment of traditional J2EE web-applications as well as web-applications contained inside an OSGi bundle (RFC66).
The goal of Jetty on OSGi is to offer a migration path for traditional J2EE applications to run inside an OSGi container. It favours J2EE applications currently deployed on jetty: developers and IT administrators familiar with a jetty deployment will find the same folder structure and configuration files.
Jetty-on-OSGi also provides an SDK for Eclipse-PDE that supports the development and debugging of a mix of traditional web-applications and web-applications contained in an OSGi bundle: Jetty on OSGi SDK for Eclipse PDE.
This document describes the internal architecture of Jetty-OSGi and describes the features supported. It assumes the reader is interested into taking advantage of OSGi.
Jetty bootstrapping in OSGi
A single bundle 'org.eclipse.jetty.osgi.boot' acts as an alternative to Jetty's Start.jar. It wires up all the jetty jars that can be located. It locates the ${jetty.home} folder where the configuration files are located. It starts a jetty server according to these configuration files:
It locates a ${jetty.home} folder (or generate one by default) and starts a jetty server according to the jetty.xml file.
The classloader inside which the jetty server is executing is a mix of the OSGi classloader provided by the 'org.eclipse.jetty.osgi.boot' bundle and also the jars and folders found inside ${jetty.home}/lib/ext and ${jetty.home}/resources.
The jetty.xml provided by default in jetty will deploy all web-applications found inside the ${jetty.home}/webapps and will read the jetty context files found inside ${jetty.home/contexts}.
OSGi's HttpService via equinox servlet bridge
Equinox packages a servlet that supports HttpService. Jetty-OSGi is distributed with a bundle that deploys this servlet and hence provides an implementation of HttpService. The URL mapping to this servlet is "/*": it will catch any request not caught by other handlers.
Deployment of web-applications via OSGi
Support for RFC66
RFC66 standardize the format of a bundle that contains a web-application and its lifecycle. The basic use-case is this one: When a bundle is started and contains "WEB-INF/web.xml", an RFC66 implementation will deploy the web-application contained in that bundle. The RFc66 implementation reads the manifest headers of the bundle for non-default deployment parameters of that web-application.
Jetty-OSGi takes advantage of jetty's native web-app deployer and context deployers and exposes those as extensions to RFC66.
Manifest headers and access to OSGI in the servlet context
The mandatory manifest header of RFC66 is supported:
Web-ContextPath: /theContextPath

The default behavior when it is missing is also supported: the default context path is the symbolic name of the bundle that contains WEB-INF/web.xml.
The optional header "Jsp-ExtractLocation" is not supported currently.
A web-application deployed by OSGi contains a pointer to the org.osgi.BundleContext object as the attribute 'osgi-bundlecontext' of the servlet context.
Jetty-OSGi does not currently enforce that the WEB-INF/classes folder and the WEB-INF/lib/*.jar must be part of the Manifest entry "Bundle-Classpath". If they are not present, jetty-osgi will still load them in the classloader of the web-application.
"war" URL scheme
The "war" URL scheme specified by RFC66 support the installation of J2EE web archives - "war" files - into an OSGi environment. On the OSGi shell, it is possible to install a war file with a command like this one:
>install war:file://path/to/pet.war

The corresponding war file is transformed into a suitable OSGi bundle and installed on to the OSGi container.
The support for this protocol is mostly complete. The query string parameters that enable overriding the manifest headers and other settings have not been extensively tested.
Also RFC66 specifies a factory class that create URLs with the war scheme. This factory is not implemented currently. The factory is not specific to jetty so hopefully it will be packaged with the OSGi APIs.
The support for the war scheme is almost fully decoupled from jetty APIs. It could be used in any RFC66 implementation. It is in the bundle [[1]]
Internals and extensions to RFC66
Manifest headers specific to jetty
Jetty-WarFolderPath: /path/to/a/webapp
This entry let's the user define a comma separated list of folder paths relative to the base folder of the bundle. Each folder will be deployed as a web-application. It is required that each folder contains WEB-INF/web.xml Each of those web-application will use its own classloader which is a child of the bundle's classloader that contains them. Hence each webapp can eventually contain WEB-INF/lib and WEB-INF/classes for libraries specific to that web-app.
Jetty-ContextFilePath: /path/to/a/context/file.xml
Jetty also support the deployment of web-application via context files. Those files use Jetty's IOC format to configure various jetty handlers and resources available to them (TODO is their a doc for the context files?). This header is a comma separated list of such files that will be executed by jetty.
The OSGi service 'org.eclipse.jetty.server.handler.ContextHandler'
The internal mechanism through which jetty manages web-applications is through the OSGi service 'org.eclipse.jetty.server.handler.ContextHandler'. Whenever an instance of that service is registered, jetty-osgi will read the attached service parameters and deploy the corresponding web-application.
When such a service is unregistered, the corresponding web-application is undeployed.
The following static method illustrate how to deploy a web-application in OSGi programmatically:
public static void registerWebapplication(Bundle contributor, String webappFolderPath, String contextPath) throws Exception { WebAppContext contextHandler = new WebAppContext(); Properties dic = new Properties(); dic.put(OSGiWebappConstants.SERVICE_PROP_WAR, webappFolderPath); dic.put(OSGiWebappConstants.SERVICE_PROP_CONTEXT_PATH, contextPath); contributor.getBundleContext().registerService(ContextHandler.class.getName(), contextHandler, dic); }
When deploying a web-application, it is necessary to create a WebAppContext rather than a basic ContextHandler.
All possible parameters are defined as constants in the class org.eclipse.jetty.osgi.boot.OSGiWebappConstants
- SERVICE_PROP_CONTEXT_PATH -> The context path of the installed web-application.
- SERVICE_PROP_WAR -> Path to the web-application folder. Those pathes are relative to the bundle location or to the SERVICE_PROP_BUNDLE_INSTALL_LOCATION_OVERRIDE when it is specified.
- SERVICE_PROP_CONTEXT_FILE_PATH -> Path to the jetty context files.
- SERVICE_PROP_BUNDLE_INSTALL_LOCATION_OVERRIDE -> Base folder inside which all pathes are resolved. By default the location where the bundle is installed.
- SERVICE_PROP_EXTRA_CLASSPATH -> extra jar and folders added to the classloader of the web-application.
- SERVICE_PROP_WEB_XML_PATH -> path to the web.xml file when we don't default on WEB-INF/web.xml
- SERVICE_PROP_DEFAULT_WEB_XML_PATH -> path to the defaultweb.xml file when we don't default on the one provided by jetty.
Notes: OSGi services versus bundles to manage web-applications.
It is (in my biased opinion) more interesting to manage web-applications via an OSGi service rather than via a bundle:
- The lifecycle of an OSGi service is a lot finer than the life-cycle of a bundle. Developers can equally create or listen to them. Consoles are developped to administer them: change a parameter for a registered service via an admin console will trigger the reloading of the corresponding web-app with a new deployment parameter.
- There are many ways to create OSGi services and all of them inter-operable:
- java code that depends on OSGi API.
- IOC frameworks including OSGi declarative services, springsource.
- OSGi services are a promising abstractions for distributed servers etc. Bundles are a lot more coupled to the life-cycle of classloaders and underlying jar files.
The support for RFC66'manifest headers basically consists of listening to the bundles lifecycle and issuing the corresponding registration of the 'org.eclipse.jetty.server.handler.ContextHandler'
Classloader tree
'org.eclipse.jetty.osgi.boot' (org.eclipse.jetty.*, javax.*, most optional) + dependencies_injected_by_fragments jetty-server (${jetty.home}/resources, ${jetty.home}/lib/ext) web-application (OSGi-bundle-that-contains-it, WEB-INF/classes, WEB-INF/lib, extraClasspath)
To be more precise we could mention the extra classloader for jsp that supports jasper and the taglibraries.
Injecting new server-wide features into jetty-osgi
A common situation for framework developers is to make a set of library installed in the server's classloader and to have a hook in the life-cycle of the server.
This is supported in 2 ways:
- The traditional J2EE way: locate the ${jetty.home} folder and add the libs to lib/ext then configure jetty.xml
- The OSGi way consists of installing a bundle-fragment hosted by 'org.eclipse.jetty.osgi.boot'
This will make the dependencies of the fragment available in the classloader of the server. In order to hook into the lifecycle of server it is possible to define an implementation of BundleActivator that will be invoked by the bundle 'org.eclipse.jetty.osgi.boot'. In order for this BundleActivator to be invoked it must be named following this convention: ${bundle.id.of.this.fragment}+".FragmentActivator"
Jetty-osgi is distributed with a number of optional bundles that illustrate this technique: Support for jsp with the bundle "org.eclipse.jetty.osgi.boot.jsp" Support for centralized logging on logback; "org.eclipse.jetty.osgi.boot.logback"
Centralized logging support with slf4j and logback-classic
When the bundle-fragment 'org.eclipse.jetty.osgi.logback' is present, jetty-osgi does some extra work to centralize the configuration of the logging. Web-applications can use anyone of their favorite logging APIs: slf4j, commons.logging or log4j.
The optional bundle 'org.eclipse.jetty.osgi.logback' bundles injects the slf4j and logback dependencies into the 'org.eclipse.jetty.osgi.boot' bundle: making them available to all of jetty and all of the web-application deployed there. This bundle also calls-back the internal deployment class to configure it so that a web-application's own local implementations of slf4j, log4j, commons.logging are ignored. This assures that all logging calls end up using the same classes in the same classloader and use the same configuration.
When logback is not configured by the time that the jetty server is started, 'org.eclipse.jetty.osgi.logback' looks into ${jetty.home}/resources for the logback configuration file: logback-test.xml or logback.xml
An alternative to 'org.eclipse.jetty.osgi.logback' is 'org.eclipse.jetty.osgi.log4j' which does the exact same work but relies on log4j for the actual logging. logback is licensed under the EPL and in the process of being distributed by eclipse. logback is more advanced than log4j. The latest releases of logback and slf4j are OSGi ready.
JSP support: Jasper integration
The optional bundle 'org.eclipse.jetty.osgi.jasper' adds support for jsp-2.1 and the standard tag libraries. TODO: support custom taglibs; make sure java server faces and other common libraries work well.
Runtime packaging
felix or equinox. The bare framework with jetty*, javax*, slf4j*, logback* installed as well as a folder where new bundles can be hot-deploy simply by droping them in. A jetty.home folder with the expected folder hierarchy.
Next steps
Better SDK with more UI for the config of jetty. Manage multiple instance of jetty. Better support for other frameworks that want to configure jetty themselves (geronimo, spring, eclipse-platform, nuxeo etc)

Verbal Irony
The use of words to mean something different from what is actually said.
Example 1: "This car seat is as comfortable as a pile of rocks."
Example 2: In Jonathan Swift's "A Modest Proposal" he suggests that people should eat babies as a solution to famine.
Situational Irony
When what happens is opposite to what is expected to happen.
Example 1: A St. Bernard dog is trapped in an avalanche.
Example 2: A marriage counselor gets a divorce.
Example 3: Adrift in the middle of the ocean without any potable water.
Dramatic Irony
When the full significance of a situation in a story is understood by the audience but not the characters themselves.
Example 1: In Romeo and Juliette, the audience knows Juliette isn't dead when Romeo poisons himself.
Example 2: In a horror movie when a character goes into a house where the audience knows a murderer is waiting.
Irony is the contrast between appearance and reality.

Bomb hoax forces Acropolis Museum evacuation
ATHENS, Greece (AP) — A bomb hoax forced Greek authorities to evacuate the Acropolis Museum in Athens and an adjacent subway station for more than an hour.
Police say an anonymous caller made the telephoned threat on Friday afternoon to a Greek newspaper, saying a bomb would explode at the landmark museum in 40 minutes.
The deadline expired without incident and after a search by bomb disposal experts the building reopened to visitors.
The museum, just outside the ancient Acropolis site, is Greece's most popular, attracting about 1 million visitors every year. It houses collections of sculptures from the citadel's marble temples, as well as free-standing statues and pottery excavated on the hill over the past century and a half.

Rabobank Group
Rabobank implemented CCH Tagetik's software solution for Consolidation, Intercompany Matching, ETL, Disclosure Management, Analytics
Working with CCH Tagetik has been a perfect fit from day one. The commitment and enthusiasm of CCH Tagetik's consultants have helped make our project a success.
Rene Witlox, Head of Strategic Development BI, Rabobank
Download the complete case study
The Challenge
Rabobank had used the same software for consolidation for over fifteen years. At the beginning of 2012, however, it decided to replace its multiple worldwide installations of Hyperion Enterprise with a single, Web-based consolidation application. Its requirements included:
- Integrated process controls and electronic sign-offs on data
- Guided workflow and task support
- Intuitive end-user tools
- Full audit trails on SOX-critical data
- Enhanced reporting and analysis tools
The single Web-based application improved the consistency/quality of its data to streamline the entire process and a faster close
The financial controlling department now receives more correct, consistent data, which it uses for analysis
Thanks to the integrated process controls, Rabobank minimized the manual work involved in the consolidation process
The heart of the application is a guided, step-bystep submission process with strict validations for monthly/annual information
CCH Tagetik and Rabobank later developed a train-the-trainer program so that users could conduct further trainings internally on their own
Rabobank extended its application in 2014 to include the new FINREP regulatory reporting requirements
The Solution
- One unified, Web-based, out-of-the-box solution
- Decentralized intercompany matching process
- Extensive security, process support and audit trail
- Scalability for management accounting and budget processes
- Support for multiple reporting needs

More than 150 local civic and business leaders and public officials heard visions of the future of Columbus State Wednesday morning as President David Harrison provided an overview of the college's Master Plan. The presentation was part of the College's 50th Anniversary Celebration.
Building community partnerships--along with academic buildings--and removing surface parking while expanding learning spaces, are key components of Columbus State's plan to move forward in coming years.
The hour-long presentation included compelling animated graphics of how the Discovery District, which includes the college, could be shaped in the coming decades. Dr. Harrison's concept includes removing surface parking and adding parking garages to make the campus more pedestrian friendly and aesthetically pleasing.
New academic buildings such as a possible School of Business Technologies and School of Hospitality Management are among the concepts. With no specific funding currently available, the college would work closely with area business and civic partners to explore funding options. The addition of parking structures would be a benefit to nearly all partners, whose educational members include Ft. Hayes Career Center to the north, and CCAD and Franklin University to the south.
Several main traffic arteries cut through the Columbus State Campus including Cleveland Avenue and Spring and Long streets. The newly released animated graphics provide a unique vision of what that area could look like in the future!
You can also see an article in Business First with a slide show of graphics from the Master Plan.
A few new FAQs about Day of Service!
Thank you to everyone who has signed up and is working to make the September 26 Day of Service a big success. Every volunteer opportunity has been fully staffed and we are ready to get out into the community and really make a difference at more than 50 locations!
A few changes have been made to accommodate our large group of employees, and these have been added to our FAQs page on the website:
1) The morning meeting location, when we will hear from Dr. Harrison and where everyone will pick up their t-shirts, their information packets, their lunch boxes etc., has been moved outside (from the gym) onto the Courtyard, beginning at 7:45 a.m. Team leaders for each service location will meet with their group at this time to organize car pools or distribute directions. The group from the Delaware Campus will meet in Moeller Hall at 8:00 a.m.
2) A mileage reimbursement plan for those using their personal vehicles has been created, with pre-calculated mileage for each location. For those requesting reimbursement, you will simply fill out the form with the location, and the Business Office will fill in the mileage and reimbursement amounts.
3) The annual flu shots (previously given on In-Service Day) will now be given on Tuesday, October 29, to all employees who sign up, regardless of their health care plan.
A final reminder: Remember to wear your "Making History Every Day" t-shirt to Day of Service, if you got one for the 50th Anniversary Group Photo on August 30. This is the same t-shirt that we will be wearing for our Day of Service!
Four P's describe this SEOM
Rod Harris is described as professional, personable, prompt, and proactive by his nominator for the September Staff Employee of the Month. "We often find he has repaired something before we even get a chance to call it in," says Kim Hatchet in her nomination. "Rod (maintenance repairperson I) does not wait for things to get to the bad or expensive stage of repair. He thoroughly checks things that are still working to make sure they're working correctly."
"Rod is a behind-the-scenes person who makes sure his job is done exceedingly well so that the rest of the team can forget about it," continues Hachet, who is a supervisor in the Telephone Information Center. "I'm not sure that our trailer is the highest on anyone's list. Rod inherited a 20-year-old trailer with issues. Hardly a day goes by when he's not stopping in before we get there to take care of emergency repairs. Things suddenly started working that we had forgotten ever worked! Besides, anyone that has to crawl underneath a trailer to drag out a dead raccoon deserves some recognition!"
Harris was recognized as the September SEOM at First Wednesday on September 4.

Fund: Leapfrog Ventures
Posted by Anonymous on 2007-05-04
I disagree with some of the other comments here. Peter and Pete invested in our company because of the technology IP (we had lots of Ph.Ds). They are super smart and were quick to "get the idea" and made a decision to invest in 48 hours. You can't expect anymore than that. Their governance has been very even handed and fair.
Peter is one of the few VCs who can deal with very early stage ideas. Even though he has moved on Crosslink you should feel free to pitch him early in your process as he can deal with seeing half baked plans better than most.PRIVATE: Members Only

Toronto filmgoers, be on the look out for the Joaquin Phoenix imposter. He's got the cheesy beard, the aspiring rap star shades and is said to be armed (with scantily-clad female groupies).
The Hollywood Reporter is claiming that director Casey Affleck's PR team has raised the alarm on this phony Phoenix at the Toronto Film Festival.
As much as he we hate feeding into the apparent hoax, outright hype or genuine bad luck involved with Phoenix's new documentary "I'm Still Here" -- sometimes it's just too good to pass up.
THR claims the apparent fraudster is said to arrive by limousine at festival venues and is accompanied by (in the words of the pr team) "a massive entourage of security and scantily clad female groupies."
The trade magazine insists, with a straight-face, that Affleck's team has said he is concerned enough about his fans being "tricked and disillusioned by the fraud" that he's going to address the media Friday night outside the documentary premiere in Toronto.
Of course we can picture what happens next. Affleck will take the apparent fraudster and attempt to rip off the fake beard only to find out the beard is… real and the fraudster is actually... the star of the documentary pretending to be a fraudster. Casey, we're all well-versed on our Scooby-Doo. We know the drill.
Actually the possibilities are endless, but they all end up at the same result: publicity for the documentary which many have speculated is a fake unto itself. It deals with Phoenix's apparent attempt to step away from his film career to become a rapper.

Christmas with MonteBy Colin Fleming
Up until the early spring of this year, I considered myself an absolute Christmas fiend. Not in the Grinch sense of breaking out the Boris Karloff accent and green grease paint and plotting how I might swipe presents, but rather trying to figure out, as early as possible, how best to immerse myself in a holiday that I loved like no other, in a typically over-the-top fashion. You know that person you read about, who bops his head along to Christmas songs on the oldies station—yes, Brenda Lee, you rock around that tree indeed!—the day after Thanksgiving, who insists on seeing Rudolph "live," every year, because it's just more real on TV than Blu-ray? I was that guy. Before I had occasion to become a different guy. And before I decided to spend this holiday season with M. R. James.

AFJ Legislative Counsel
When the Senate Judiciary Committee convenes its hearing this morning, not one of the 17 judicial nominees waiting for a confirmation hearing will appear. Instead, they will keep on waiting, even though 14 of them were nominated more than 50 days ago, and even though 8 of those 14 are nominated to vacancies that are now "judicial emergencies." Indeed, one nominee to the Eastern District of North Carolina, Jennifer May-Parker, has been pending in the Judiciary Committee for nearly 300 days. If confirmed, she would fill the longest district court vacancy in the country. Another, Jill Pryor from Georgia, has been waiting for a confirmation hearing since she was nominated to the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals more than two-years ago.
Particularly in places where nominees would fill emergencies—which means that, according to the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts, caseloads are too big for courts to handle—these delays have led to dire situations where judges are overworked and the provision of justice is put on hold. So why not use today's hearing, as the Committee would normally do, to move these nominees through the process and bring them one step closer to actually serving the American people?
The answer is as simple as it is arcane: blue slips.
During his tenure as Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., has extended a powerful courtesy to Senators with judicial nominees pending in their home states: Home state Senators are asked to indicate that they approve a nominee on a blue sheet of paper. And until both Senators return a favorable blue slip, there will not be a confirmation hearing and the nomination will lay dormant. Ideally, this policy can ensure that Senators have sufficient input on who will serve as a federal judge for their constituents. But Senate Republicans have exploited the blue slip, using it to manufacture gridlock and prevent the president from appointing supremely qualified nominees. As of last week, each of the 14 nominees who should have been ready for a hearing were still waiting for at least one blue slip, and each is from a state with at least one Republican Senator.
What blue-slips are is plain; why they are withheld is less so. Senators don't have to give a reason for withholding blue slips. They can unilaterally derail nominations without any explanation. The case of Jennifer May-Parker is particularly mysterious. In 2009, North Carolina Senator Richard Burr specifically recommended her to fill the vacancy for which she is now pending. But while Senator Kay Hagan returned her blue slip long ago, Burr has withheld his support without explanation. Similarly, Republican Georgia Senators Saxby Chambliss and Johnny Isakson wrote to President Obama endorsing Jill Pryor for a federal judgeship in 2012, but have so far blocked her nomination to the Eleventh Circuit.
To be sure, not every blue slip delay indicates outright objection—just yesterday, Florida Senator Marco Rubio finally returned his blue slip on a Southern District of Florida nominee who should have cleared the hearing hurdle today. And sometimes the delay can originate with the Committee's ranking member, Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, who insists that Republicans withhold blue slips until he's done reviewing background investigation paperwork. But with more than 100 announced vacancies, and with more than 50 nominees waiting to be confirmed, both the Judiciary Committee and the full Senate should be advancing nominees as expeditiously as possible. It is bad enough that Senate Republicans have decided to force cloture votes on even the most noncontroversial judicial nominees, turning the Senate floor into a bottleneck through which nominees can only trickle through. There is no excuse for confirmation hearings to also suffer such needless delay.

A Sesame Street Christmas Carol is a direct-to-video Sesame Street special, released to home video in 2006. Oscar the Grouch stars in the Ebenezer Scrooge role for a Sesame Street version of the classic novel by Charles Dickens.
A Christmas Carol was previously adapted by the Muppets in the 1992 film The Muppet Christmas Carol, and has been spoofed in Muppet Magazine, a Sesame Street calendar, and the 1978 TV special, A Special Sesame Street Christmas, as well as other books and albums.
The three ghosts in the special are computer animated by Magnetic Dreams.
The special received its broadcast premiere on Sprout On Demand from November 17th through the 23rd. [1]
As released on DVD, the story is divided into five chapters.
The story opens on a quiet, snow-covered Christmas Eve with a voice-over narration about Sesame Street and what a wonderful place it is at Christmas time. As the narrator talks, clips from past Sesame Street Christmas specials are shown (the opening from Elmo's World: Happy Holidays, and a scene from Elmo Saves Christmas). A Muppet named Joe Marley of "Scaredy-Pants Delivery Service" comes down the street to deliver a "ghost-o-gram" to Oscar.
The ghost-o-gram consists of an old, empty can of baked beans and a card on which is written a rhyme that Oscar must read aloud to summon Rhubarb, the Grouch ghost of Christmas Past. Rhubarb shows Oscar some old home movies of Christmases past. The first is The Gift of the Magi starring Bert and Ernie (showing the pair's subplot from Christmas Eve on Sesame Street). The next home movie features Big Bird from Elmo Saves Christmas singing "All I Want for Christmas Is You."
Oscar soon finds himself visited by Christmas Carole, the perky Ghost of Christmas Present whose body and attire are shaped like a Christmas tree. Carole shows Oscar the glory of Christmas in the now and that Christmas is more than just decorations and Christmas trees. She shows four clips representing the present, including Elmo and Santa Claus from Elmo's World: Happy Holidays; Elmo and Lightning singing "Everyday Can't Be Christmas" from Elmo Saves Christmas; Elmo talking with kids about how they celebrate Chanukah and Kwanza from Elmo's World: Happy Holidays; and "Keep Christmas With You" from Elmo Saves Christmas.
The final ghost to arrive is the ghost of Christmas Future in the form of a futuristic robot named Sam. He shows an animated short about what Christmas will be like in the future—including houses that decorate themselves and Christmas dinners consumed in the form of "delicious, chewable space capsules" while floating in zero gravity.
The story ends on Christmas morning, when a Muppet who looks just like Joe Marley awakens Oscar to give him a sticky ball of used wrapping paper as a Christmas present. When Oscar recognized the visitor as "Joe the Scaredy-Pants guy," the visitor responds "No, I'm little Joey Dickens, you know, from Brooklyn." In the end, Oscar finds several things to enjoy about Christmas Day, including sticky balls of used wrapping paper, waiting for the "rotten snow" to turn the "mushy and gray," and "best of all, tomorrow is the day after Christmas, and this will all be over."

The rise of the internet as the go to source for on demand information has given the victims of cheaters and homewreckers a way to voice out and warn others of the unfaithful ways of their (former) partner. Dozens of websites, commonly referred to as Cheater Sites, now exist. The purpose of these sites is to give victims of unfaithful partners and abusive relationships a place to post about the cheating ways of their partners and the person their partner is cheating with. Most cheater sites allow for the submission of anonymous posts that are not moderated or validated in anyway. Fraudsters.onlines allows for anonymous users to submit unverified claims about their partner and the person (or homewrecker) they believe that their partner is cheating with. Today the site features thousands of user-submitted posts warning the public about homewrecker men, homewrecker women and cheaters (male and female).
