 Using null annotations

NullPointerException is one of the most common causes for failure of Java programs. In the simplest cases the compiler can directly warn you when it sees code like this:

 Object o = null; String s = o.toString();

 With branching / looping and throwing exceptions quite sophisticated flow analysis becomes necessary in order to figure out if a variable being dereferenced has been assigned a null / non-null value on some or all paths through the program.

 Due to the inherent complexity, flow analysis is best performed in small chunks. Analyzing one method at a time can be done with good tool performance - whereas whole-system analysis is out of scope for the Eclipse Java compiler. The advantage is: analysis is fast and can be done incrementally such that the compiler can warn you directly as you type. The down-side: the analysis can not "see" which values (null or non-null) are flowing between methods (as parameters and return values).

Inter-procedural null analysis

 This is where null annotations come into play. By specifying a method parameter as @NonNull you can tell the compiler that you don't want a null value in this position.

 String capitalize(@NonNull String in) { return in.toUpperCase(); // no null check required } void caller(String s) { if (s != null) System.out.println(capitalize(s)); // preceding null check is required }

 In the vein of Design-by-Contract this has two sides:

It's the caller's responsibility to never pass a null value, which is to be ensured, e.g., by an explicit null check.

The implementor of method capitalize enjoys the guarantee that the argument in shall not be null and thus dereferencing without a null check is OK here.

 For method return values the situation is symmetric:

 @NonNull String getString(String maybeString) { if (maybeString != null) return maybeString; // the above null check is required else return "<n/a>"; } void caller(String s) { System.out.println(getString(s).toUpperCase()); // no null check required }

Now the implementor must ensure that null is never returned.

Conversely the caller now enjoys the guarantee that dereferencing the method result without checking is OK.

Available annotations

 The Eclipse Java compiler can be configured to use three distinct annotation types for its enhanced null analysis (which is disabled by default):

@NonNull: null is not a legal value

@Nullable: null value is allowed and must be expected

@NonNullByDefault: types in method signatures that lack a null annotation are regarded as non-null.

Annotations @NonNull and @Nullable are supported in these locations:

Method parameter

Method return (syntactically a method annotation is used here)

Local variables

Fields

In Java 8, more locations can be annotated with null type annotations

@NonNullByDefault is supported for

Methods - to affect all types in this method's signature

Types (classes, interfaces, enums) - to affect all methods in the type body

Package (via a file package-info.java) - to affect all types in the package

 Note, that even the actual qualified names of these annotations are configurable, but by default the ones given above are used (from the package org.eclipse.jdt.annotation). When using 3rd party null annotations, please ensure that those are properly defined using at least a @Target meta annotation, because otherwise the compiler can not distinguish between declaration annotations (Java 5) and type annotations (Java 8).

Setup of the build path

 A JAR with the default null annotations is shipped with Eclipse in eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.jdt.annotation_*.jar. This JAR needs to be on the build path at compile time but it is not necessary at run time (so you don't have to ship this to users of your compiled code).

 Starting with Eclipse Luna, two versions of this jar exist, one with declaration annotations for use in Java 7 or below (version 1.1.x) and one with null type annotations for use in Java 8 (version 2.0.x).

 For plain Java projects there is also a quick fix on unresolved references to @NonNull, @Nullable, or @NonNullByDefault that adds the suitable version of the JAR to the build path:

For OSGi bundles / plug-ins please add one of the following entries to your MANIFEST.MF:

When using null annotations in a Java 7 project or below:

 Require-Bundle: ..., org.eclipse.jdt.annotation;bundle-version="[1.1.0,2.0.0)";resolution:=optional

For null type annotations in a Java 8 project please use:

Require-Bundle: ..., org.eclipse.jdt.annotation;bundle-version="[2.0.0,3.0.0)";resolution:=optional

 See also the discussion in the corresponding section on compatibility.

Interpretation of null annotations

 It should be clear now that null annotations add more information to your Java program (which can then be used by the compiler to give better warnings). But what exactly do we want these annotations to say? From a pragmatic point of view there are at least three levels of what we might want to express with null annotations:

Sporadic hints to the reader (human and compiler)

Design by contract: API specification for some or all methods

Full specification using an extended type system

 For (1) you may start using null annotations right away and without reading further, but you shouldn't expect more than a little hint every now and then. The other levels deserve some more explaining.

Design by contract: API specification

 At first sight using null annotations for API specifications in the vein of Design by Contract only means that the signatures of all API methods should be fully annotated, i.e., except for primitive types like int each parameter and each method return type should be marked as either @NonNull or @Nullable. Since this would mean to insert very many null annotations, it is good to know that in well-designed code (especially API methods), @NonNull is significantly more frequent than @Nullable. Thus the number of annotations can be reduced by declaring @NonNull as the default, using a @NonNullByDefault annotation at the package level.

 Note the significant difference between @Nullable and omitting a null annotation: This annotation explicitly states that null is OK and must be expected. By contrast, no annotation simply means, we don't know what's the intention. This is the old situation where sometimes both sides (caller and callee) redundantly check for null, and some times both sides wrongly assume that the other side will do the check. This is where NullPointerExceptions originate from. Without an annotation the compiler will not give specific advice, but with a @Nullable annotation every unchecked dereference will be flagged.

 With these basics we can directly map all parameter annotations to pre-conditions and interpret return annotations as post-conditions of the method.

Sub-typing and overriding

 In object-oriented programming the concept of Design by Contract needs to address one more dimension: sub-typing and overriding (in the sequel the term "override" will be used in the sense of the @Override annotation in Java 6: methods overriding or implementing another method from a super-type). A client invoking a method like this one:

 @NonNull String checkedString(@Nullable String in)

 should be allowed to assume that all implementations of this method fulfill the contract. So when the method declaration is found in an interface I1, we must rule out that any class Cn implementing I1 provides an incompatible implementation. Specifically, it is illegal if any Cn tries to override this method with an implementation that declares the parameter as @NonNull. If we would allow this, a client module programmed against I1 could legally pass null as the argument but the implementation would assume a non-null value - unchecked dereference inside the method implementation would be allowed but blow up at runtime. Hence, a @Nullable parameter specification obliges all overrides to admit null as an expected, legal value.

 Conversely, a @NonNull return specification obliges all overrides to ensure that null will never be returned.

Therefore, the compiler has to check that no override adds a @NonNull parameter annotation (or a @Nullable return annotation) that didn't exist in the super-type.

 Interestingly, the reverse redefinitions are legal: adding a @Nullable parameter annotation or a @NonNull return annotation (you may consider these as "improvements" of the method, it accepts more values and produces a more specific return value).

By forcing sub-classes to repeat null annotations in any overriding methods, the null contract of each method can be understood without searching the inheritance hierarchy. However, in situations where an inheritance hierarchy mixes code of different provenance it may not be possible to add null annotations to all classes at once. In these situations the compiler can be told to treat methods with missing null annotations as if annotations from an overridden method were inherited. This is enabled using the compiler option inherit null annotations. It is possible that a method overrides two methods with different null contracts. Also a nullness default can be applicable at a method which is in conflict with an inherited null annotation. These cases are flagged as an error and the overriding method must use an explicit null annotation to resolve the conflict.

Relaxing a @NonNull parameter to unspecified?

 If inheritance of null annotations is not enabled one particular situation is safe from a type theory point of view but may still indicate a problem: Given a super method that declares a parameter as @NonNull and an overriding method that does not constrain the corresponding parameter (neither by an explicit null annotation, nor by an applicable @NonNullByDefault).

 This is safe because clients seeing the super-declaration will be forced to avoid null whereas the the overriding implementation simply cannot leverage this guarantee due to the lack of a specification in this specific method.

 Still this may lead to misconceptions because it may be intended that the declaration in the super type should apply also to all overrides.

 For this reasons the compiler provides an option '@NonNull' parameter not annotated in overriding method:

Enabling this warning/error is useful for forcing developers to be explicit about the contract of overriding methods. If null should indeed be acceptable it is good practice to add a @Nullable annotation to override the @NonNull from the super method.

Disabling this warning/error is useful in scenarii of mixed code ownership: it facilitates the use of legacy implementations (without null annotations) in combination with super types that have adopted the approach of null annotations.

Legacy super-types

 The previous considerations add a difficulty when annotated code is written as a sub-type of a "legacy" (i.e., un-annotated) type (which may be from a 3rd party library, thus cannot be changed). If you read the last section very carefully you might have noticed that we cannot admit that a "legacy" method is overridden by a method with a @NonNull parameter (since clients using the super-type don't "see" the @NonNull obligation).

 In this situation you will be forced to omit null annotations (plans exist to support adding annotations to libraries after-the-fact, but no promise can be made yet, if and when such a feature will be available).

Canceling a nullness default

The situation will get tricky, if a sub-type of a "legacy" type resides in a package for which @NonNullByDefault has been specified. Now a type with an un-annotated super-type would need to mark all parameters in overriding methods as @Nullable: even omitting parameter annotations isn't allowed because that would be interpreted like a @NonNull parameter, which is prohibited in that position. That's why the Eclipse Java compiler supports cancellation of a nullness default: by annotating a method or type with @NonNullByDefault(false) an applicable default will be canceled for this element, and un-annotated parameters are again interpreted as unspecified. Now, sub-typing is legal again without adding unwanted @Nullable annotations:

class LegacyClass { String enhance (String in) { // clients are not forced to pass nonnull. return in.toUpperCase(); } } @NonNullByDefault class MyClass extends LegacyClass { // ... methods with @NonNull default ... @Override @NonNullByDefault(false) String enhance(String in) { // would not be valid if @NonNullByDefault were effective here return super.enhance(in); } }

The case of fields

Null annotations work best when applied in method signatures (local variables typically don't even need these, but may also leverage null annotations for bridging between annotated code and "legacy" code). In such usage null annotations connect the chunks of intra procedural analysis as to achieve statements about global data flows. Starting with Eclipse Kepler null annotations can also be applied to fields, but here the situation is slightly different.

Consider a field marked with @NonNull: this obviously requires that any assignment to the field provides a value that is known not to be null. Additionally, the compiler must be able to verify that a non-null field can never be accessed in its uninitialized state (in which it still has the value null). If it can be verified that every constructor complies to this rule (similarly a static field must have an initializer), the program benefits from the safety that dereferencing the field can never cause a NullPointerException.

The situation is more delicate when considering a field marked @Nullable. Such a field should always be considered as dangerous and the recommended way of working with nullable fields is: always assign the value to a local variable before working with it. Using a local variable the flow analysis can tell exactly, whether a dereference is sufficiently protected by a null check. When following this general rule working with nullable fields poses no problems.

Things get more involved when the code directly dereferences the value of a nullable field. The problem is that any null checks that the code may perform before the dereference can easily be invalidated by one of these:

effects via aliased references

side effects of another method

concurrency

One can easily see that without also analyzing thread synchronization (which is beyond the compiler's capabilities) no null-check against a nullable field will ever grant 100% safety for a subsequent dereference. So if concurrent access to a nullable field is possible, the field's value should never be directly dereferenced, always a local variable should be used instead. Even if no concurrency is involved, the remaining issues pose a challenge to a complete analysis that is harder than what a compiler can typically handle.

Flow analysis vs. syntactic analysis

Given the compiler cannot fully analyze the effects of aliasing, side effects and concurrency, the Eclipse compiler does not perform any flow analysis for fields (other than regarding their initialization). Since many developers will consider this limitation as too restrictive - requiring the use of local variables where developers feel that their code should actually be safe - a new option has been introduced as a tentative compromise:

The compiler can be configured to perform some syntactic analysis. This will detect the most obvious patterns like this:
 @Nullable Object f; void printChecked() { if (this.f != null) System.out.println(this.f.toString()); }

 With the given option enabled the above code will not be flagged by the compiler. It is important to see that this syntactic analysis is not "smart" in any way. If any code appears between the check and the dereference the compiler will cowardly "forget" the information of the previous null check, without even trying to see if the intermediate code could perhaps be harmless according to some criteria. Thus please be advised: whenever the compiler flags a dereference of a nullable field as unsafe although the human eye may see that null should not occur, please either rewrite your code to closely follow the recognized pattern shown above, or, even better: use a local variable to leverage all the sophistication of flow analysis, which syntactic analysis will never attain.

Benefits of Design-by-Contract

 Using null annotations in the style of Design-by-Contract as outlined above, helps to improve the quality of your Java code in several ways: At the interface between methods it is made explicit, which parameters / returns tolerate a null value and which ones don't. This captures design decisions, which are highly relevant to the developers, in a way that is also checkable by the compiler.

 Additionally, based on this interface specification the intra-procedural flow analysis can pick up available information and give much more precise errors/warnings. Without annotations any value flowing into or out of a method has unknown nullness and therefore null analysis remains silent about their usage. With API-level null annotations the nullness of most values is actually known, and significantly fewer NPEs will go unnoticed by the compiler. However, you should be aware that still some loopholes exist, where unspecified values flow into the analysis, preventing a complete statement whether NPEs can occur at runtime.

Complete specification using an extended type system

 The support for null annotations had been designed in a way that should be compatible to a future extension. This extension has become part of the Java language as type annotations (JSR 308), which have been introduced in Java 8. JDT supports to leverage the new concept for null type annotations.

Compiler messages explained

 Semantic details of annotation based null analysis are presented here, by explaining the rules that the compiler checks and the messages it issues upon violation of a rule.

 On the corresponding preference page the individual rules checked by the compiler are grouped under the following headings:

Violation of null specification

As specification violation we handle any situation where a null annotation makes a claim that is violated by the actual implementation. The typical situation results from specifying a value (local, argument, method return) as @NonNull whereas the implementation actually provides a nullable value. Here an expression is considered as nullable if either it is statically known to evaluate to the value null, or if it is declared with a @Nullable annotation.

Secondly, this group also contains the rules for method overriding as discussed above. Here a super method establishes a claim (e.g., that null is a legal argument) while an override tries to evade this claim (by assuming that null is not a legal argument). As mentioned even specializing an argument from un-annotated to @NonNull is a specification violation, because it introduces a contract that should bind the client (to not pass null), but a client using the super-type won't even see this contract, so he doesn't even know what is expected of him.

 The full list of situations regarded as specification violations is given here. It is important to understand that errors in this group should never be ignored, because otherwise the entire null analysis will be performed based on false assumptions. Specifically, whenever the compiler sees a value with a @NonNull annotation it takes it for granted that null will not occur at runtime. It's the rules about specification violations which ensure that this reasoning is sound. Therefore it is strongly recommended to leave this kind of problem configured as errors.

Conflict between null annotations and null inference

 Also this group of rules watches over the adherence to null specifications. However, here we deal with values that are not declared as @Nullable (nor the value null itself), but values where the intra-procedural flow analysis infers that null can possibly occur on some execution path.

 This situation arises from the fact that for un-annotated local variables the compiler will infer whether null is possible using its flow analysis. Assuming that this analysis is accurate, if it sees a problem this problem has the same severity as direct violations of a null specification. Therefore, it is again strongly recommended to leave this problems configured as errors and not to ignore these messages.

 Creating a separate group for these problems serves two purposes: to document that a given problem was raised with the help of the flow analysis, and: to account for the fact that this flow analysis could be at fault (because of a bug in the implementation). For the case of an acknowledged implementation bug it could in exceptional situations be OK to suppress an error message of this kind.

 Given the nature of any static analysis, the flow analysis may fail to see that a certain combination of execution paths and values is not possible. As an example consider variable correlation:

 String flatten(String[] inputs1, String[] inputs2) { StringBuffer sb1 = null, sb2 = null; int len = Math.min(inputs1.length, inputs2.length); for (int i=0; i<len; i++) { if (sb1 == null) { sb1 = new StringBuffer(); sb2 = new StringBuffer(); } sb1.append(inputs1[i]); sb2.append(inputs2[i]); // warning here } if (sb1 != null) return sb1.append(sb2).toString(); return ""; }

 The compiler will report a potential null pointer access at the invocation of sb2.append(..). The human reader can see that there is no actual danger because sb1 and sb2 actually correlate in a way that either both variables are null or both are not null. At the line in question we know that sb1 is not null, hence also sb2 is not null. Without going into the details why such correlation analysis is beyond the capability of the Eclipse Java compiler, please just keep in mind that this analysis doesn't have the power of a full theorem prover and therefore pessimistically reports some problems which a more capable analysis could possibly identify as false alarms.

 If you want to benefit from flow analysis, you are advised to give a little help to the compiler so it can "see" your conclusions. This help can be as simple as splitting the if (sb1 == null) into two separate ifs, one for each local variable, which is a very small price to pay for the gain that now the compiler can exactly see what happens and check your code accordingly. More discussion on this topic will follow below.

Unchecked conversion from non-annotated type to @NonNull type

 This group of problems is based on the following analogy: in a program using Java 5 generics any calls to pre-Java-5 libraries may expose raw types, i.e., applications of a generic type which fail to specify concrete type arguments. To fit such values into a program using generics the compiler can add an implicit conversion by assuming that type arguments were specified in the way expected by the client part of the code. The compiler will issue a warning about the use of such a conversion and proceed its type checking assuming the library "does the right thing". In exactly the same way, an un-annotated return type of a library method can be considered as a "raw" or "legacy" type. Again an implicit conversion can optimistically assume the expected specification. Again a warning is issued and analysis continues assuming that the library "does the right thing".

 Theoretically speaking, also the need for such implicit conversions indicates a specification violation. However, in this case it may be 3rd party code that violates the specification which our code expects. Or, maybe (as we have convinced ourselves of) some 3rd party code does fulfill the contract, but only fails to declare so (because it doesn't use null annotations). In such situations we may not be able to exactly fix the problem for organizational reasons.

 @SuppressWarnings("null") @NonNull Foo foo = Library.getFoo(); // implicit conversion foo.bar();

 The above code snippet assumes that Library.getFoo() returns a Foo without specifying a null annotation. We can integrate the return value into our annotated program by assignment to a @NonNull local variable, which triggers a warning regarding an unchecked conversion. By adding a corresponding SuppressWarnings("null") to this declaration we acknowledge the inherent danger and accept the responsibility of having verified that the library actually behaves as desired.

Tips for making code better analyzable

 If flow analysis cannot see that a value is indeed not null, the simplest strategy is always to add a new scoped local variable annotated with @NonNull. Then, if you are convinced that the value assigned to this local will never be null at runtime you can use a helper methods like this:

 static @NonNull <T> T assertNonNull(@Nullable T value, @Nullable String msg) { if (value == null) throw new AssertionError(msg); return value; } @NonNull MyType foo() { if (isInitialized()) { MyType couldBeNull = getObjectOrNull(); @NonNull MyType theValue = assertNonNull(couldBeNull, "value should not be null because application " + "is fully initialized at this point."); return theValue; } return new MyTypeImpl(); }

 Note that by using the above assertNonNull() method you are accepting the responsibility that this assertion will always hold at runtime. If that is not what you want, annotated local variables will still help to narrow down where and why the analysis sees a potential for null flowing into a certain location.

Tips for adopting null annotations

 At the time of releasing the JDT version 3.8.0, collecting advice for adopting null annotations is still work in progress. For that reason this information is currently maintained in the Eclipse wiki.

The four Japanese voice actresses (seiyuu) - Akeno Watanabe (Jo), Megumi Toyoguchi (Meg), Mikako Takahashi (Amy), and Rie Tanaka (Sei) - together sing two songs heard as background music on both the Japanese and English tracks of Burst Angel (Bakuretsu Tenshi): 1) "Fushigi Tokyo Cinderella" ("Mysterious Tokyo Cinderella"), episode 8; and 2) "Taiyou wo Dakishimero" ("Embrace the Sun"), episode 18. The "Fushigi Tokyo Cinderella" CD maxi single from JVC Victor (VICL-35680) contains full versions of both songs, as well as their karaoke versions. Both songs are covers of songs sung by the 1980s Japanese girl idol group Saint Four, which included a future Japanese voice actress of note, Junko Iwao.
The St. Luciana Academy that Meg infiltrates (in episode 5) is a pastiche of the Lillian Academy which features in the anime "Maria-sama ga Miteru".
In episode 9, Kyouhei and Jo are watching a very violent splatter film together. In case you were wondering, the film appears to be a takeoff on "Cannibal Holocaust" (1979, dir. Ruggero Deodato) - a film that's every bit as vile as you might think.

The DeLoach property — on Olivet Road in Santa Rosa — boasts organic culinary gardens that reflect the quality and commitment of the vineyard to organically-grown Pinot Noir and Chardonnay cloned grapes: Farming practices that have earned DeLoach CCOF certification.
Organic viticulture is integrated with the biodynamic farming employed not only at DeLoach, but among the Maisons & Domaines of the Boisset Family of wineries, reaching from California to France, Italy to Québec. (In 2009 the DeLoach estate vineyards received biodynamic certification from Demeter.)

One comes away from a visit to DeLoach with the awareness of an overall governing philosophy of sustainability.
Working with Quantum Builders during the estate's remodel a few years ago, there were doors, windows and tiles repurposed, while reclaimed wood from old wine vats found new life as handsome cabinets for the interior.
Our tasting included a select vineyard-designated Chardonnay: Rich and flavorful…
and a Hawk Hill Pinot Noir from Maboroshi vineyards – both grown in the loamy soils of the Russian River Valley.
DeLoach Wine Tasting
Another DeLoach standout: a Mendocino County biodynamically farmed Pinot Noir designate from the Masut Vineyard, a lovely clean, full-bodied wine with savory notes of cherry and spice.
The 2006 Masut vintage received accolades for its subtle yet complex melding of cherry, currant, raspberry and chocolate flavors, with a lingering oaky vanilla finish. The appellation-designated 2007 DeLoach Russian River Valley Pinot Noir won praise as One of the Year's Best from Wine & Spirits.

Peru Wine at the Tacama Winery
Peru makes not only it's wine brandy (Pisco) but wine as well. In Lima I tasted the wines of Tabernero which I must say – quite liked (Merlot-Malbec 2005 & Cabernet Sauvignon 2006). But also had some less famous experience with the Borgoña wine (which must be Concord), mostly sweet and unpleasant red wine.

A week ago i lent my "friend" £50 and he agreed to pay me back the next day, since then iv asked him to pay me back but he keeps coming up with excuses and brushes it off, its been a week now and im done with him and want to know the best way to get payback?
I'm thinking of going round his house at night and keying his car or cracking eggs on it to damage the paintwork which will do a lot more damage than the money he borrowed.
Is this reasonable?
Most Helpful Girl
No don't do that. You can actually get in trouble for keying his car... what you could do is call him a lot, text him 24:7 and if he still doesn't pay you back just know you've done your best trying to get the money back. If he asks you for anymore money say no, unless it's an emergency.00|00|0

Sebastian Vollmer to Suit Up Sunday for Patriots
Patriots offensive line coach Dante Scarnecchia announced earlier today that veteran OT Sebastian Vollmer will play in Super Bowl XLVI. "He'll play. He'll play in this game at some point, whether we have Nate Solder outside or him at tackle," said Scarnecchia in a recent interview with WEEI.com. "He's going to be out there, and thank God we've got him."
Vollmer was active for just six games this season, which includes New England's 24-20 Week 9 loss to the Giants on November 6th. He will either start this Sunday or come in as a third tackle when the Patriots shift Solder to tight end.
"Sebastian has gotten a lot better here over the last few weeks," said Patriots head coach Bill Belichick. "He practiced Monday, so we'll see how the week goes and see how he holds up, but I think there is definitely a possibility. We'll just have to see how he tolerates the added work and if he does well, I think you'll see him.
Rookie Nate Solder was New England's first-round draft choice and filled in at right tackle for 144 snaps in total. The Patriots are going to need all the help they can get with a proven Giants defensive front ready to pounce. View all Super Bowl XLVI ticket options here at Ace!

Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain equalled their all time points total as they took apart Stade Rennais at the Parc des Princes on Friday night.
Two Zlatan Ibrahimovic goals were sandwiched in between successful conversions from Maxwell and Edison Canvani as PSG made Rennes' quest for European football next season even tougher.
Rennes manager Rolland Courbis made a few changes to his side going into the game in the capital. The veteran coach handed 19-year-old defender Joris Gnagnon his first start and brought in Pedro Henrique to replace the injured Kamil Groscki on the wing. The hosts were without Blaise Matuidi through injury and Adrien Rabiot was suspended.
PSG dominate the first but cannot find the first goal
Despite a resilient showing from the start, Rennes couldn't fathom any goal scoring opportunities in the early stages. It took 23 minutes before Benoit Costil was tested in the Rennes goal. Lovely interplay between the PSG attackers ended with Angel di Maria forcing the French international keeper to pull off an impressive parried save.
The only shot of the half from Rennes came following some quick counter-attacking play by Ousmane Dembele. The youngster ran straight through the static PSG defence and eventually the ball was played out to Ludovic Baal. Unfortunately, the left-back's shot was straight down the throat of Kevin Trapp who managed to hold and end any signs of an upset.
Sensational second half for Blanc's champions
In the second half there was a clear intent in the PSG squad to start strongly and take advantage of their dominance in the match. Only a few seconds in and Costil made his second big save of the game to deny Ibrahimovic.
The scoring did open only five minutes from the restart with departing left-back Maxwell being the scorer. The ex-Barcelona defender looked like he was masquerading as ex-teammate Lionel Messi as he dribbled his way through the feeble Rennes defence. His eventual strike almost burst the net as he gave his side the lead.
Four minutes later PSG doubled their lead with the familiar name of Ibrahimovic getting on the score sheet. A sublime cross field ball into the box found Ibrahimovic who audaciously turned the ball into the net. There were suggestions of offside against Cavani who looked like interfering in play when the ball was played into the penalty area.
More attacking changes were made by Courbis to try and salvage something from the game. Yoann Gourcuff made his return from injury and Jeremie Boga replaced Pedro Henrique who was battered and bruised throughout. The changes seemed to have a much more positive effect as the away side played much better free flowing football, but the champions stood tall to stop any suggestions of a comeback.
Ibrahimovic managed his second of the match on 78 minutes after he held off Baal inside the box to force a shot on goal. The effort hit the underside of the bar and came back down to increase PSG's lead to three goals. Perhaps the Swede's third last league game in Paris colours, he definitely showed what the Parisians could be missing next season.
Just before full-time the scoring was ended for the night with Cavani finally getting the better of Costil. The two had a running battle throughout the match but the winger got the last laugh to score his 23rd goal in all competitions this season. His curled shot from close range nestled into the net giving Costil no chance of stopping it.
A meaningless game in the long run for PSG, but it does mean that they are on course to breaking the record for most points ever in Ligue 1 with a couple of games to go. For Rennes, this match would have been budgeted as a defeat before kick-off. However, the defeat means that they must get six points from their next matches against Montpellier and Bastia, and hope Lille slip up, to even think of Europe next season.
Rennes captain for the night Sylvain Armand believes Europe is still within their sights, but admits the sore derby defeat at home to Guingamp is what changed everything mentality wise for Les Rouges et Noirs.

|Judges 15
King James Bible
Chapter 16
Then went4 Samson to Gaza, and saw4 there an harlot, 2181 6 and went in4 unto her.
[And it was told] the Gazites, saying,2 Samson is come1 hither. And they compassed [him] in,4 and laid wait4 for him all night in the gate of the city, and were quiet101 all the night, saying,2 In the morning, when it is day, we shall kill1 him.
And Samson lay4 till midnight, 3915 and arose4 at midnight, 3915 and took4 the doors of the gate of the city, and the two posts, and went away4 with them, bar and all, and put4 [them] upon his shoulders, and carried them up55 to the top of an hill that [is] before Hebron.
And it came to pass afterward, that he loved4 a woman in the valley of Sorek, whose name [was] Delilah.
And the lords of the Philistines came up4 unto her, and said4 unto her, Entice16 him, and see3 wherein his great strength [lieth], and by what [means] we may prevail4 against him, that we may bind1 him to afflict15 him: and we will give4 thee every one of us eleven hundred 3967 [pieces] of silver.
And Delilah said4 to Samson, Tell54 me, I pray thee, wherein thy great strength [lieth], and wherewith thou mightest be bound11 to afflict15 thee.
And Samson said4 unto her, If they bind4 me with seven green withs that were never dried,27 then shall I be weak,1 and be as another man.
Then the lords of the Philistines brought up55 to her seven green withs which had not been dried,27 and she bound4 him with them.
Now [there were] men lying in wait,6 abiding6 with her in the chamber. And she said4 unto him, The Philistines [be] upon thee, Samson. And he brake17 the withs, as a thread of tow is broken11 when it toucheth53 the fire. So his strength was not known.8
And Delilah said4 unto Samson, Behold, thou hast mocked14 me, and told17 me lies: now tell54 me, I pray thee, wherewith thou mightest be bound.11
And he said4 unto her, If they bind4 me fast2 with new ropes that never were occupied, 6213 8 then shall I be weak,1 and be as another man.
Delilah therefore took4 new ropes, and bound4 him therewith, and said4 unto him, The Philistines [be] upon thee, Samson. And [there were] liers in wait6 abiding6 in the chamber. And he brake17 them from off his arms like a thread.
And Delilah said4 unto Samson, Hitherto thou hast mocked14 me, and told17 me lies: tell54 me wherewith thou mightest be bound.11 And he said4 unto her, If thou weavest4 the seven locks of my head with the web.
And she fastened4 [it] with the pin, and said4 unto him, The Philistines [be] upon thee, Samson. And he awaked4 out of his sleep, and went away4 with the pin of the beam, and with the web.
And she said4 unto him, How canst thou say,4 I love1 thee, when thine heart [is] not with me? thou hast mocked14 me these three times, and hast not told52 me wherein thy great strength [lieth].
And it came to pass, when she pressed52 him daily with her words, and urged17 him, [so] that his soul was vexed4 unto death;2
That he told55 her all his heart, and said4 unto her, There hath not come1 a razor upon mine head; for I [have been] a Nazarite unto God from my mother's womb: if I be shaven,27 then my strength will go1 from me, and I shall become weak,1 and be like any [other] man.
And when Delilah saw4 that he had told52 her all his heart, she sent4 and called4 for the lords of the Philistines, saying,2 Come up3 this once, for he hath shewed52 me all his heart. Then the lords of the Philistines came up1 unto her, and brought55 money in their hand.
And she made him sleep17 upon her knees; and she called4 for a man, and she caused him to shave off17 the seven locks of his head; and she began55 to afflict15 him, and his strength went4 from him.
And she said,4 The Philistines [be] upon thee, Samson. And he awoke4 out of his sleep, and said,4 I will go out4 as at other times 6471 before, and shake11 myself. And he wist1 not that the LORD was departed1 from him.
But the Philistines took4 him, and put out17 his eyes, and brought him down55 to Gaza, and bound4 him with fetters of brass; and he did grind6 in the prison7 house.
Howbeit the hair of his head began55 to grow15 again after he was shaven.27
Then the lords of the Philistines gathered8 them together for to offer2 a great sacrifice unto Dagon their god, and to rejoice: for they said,4 Our god hath delivered1 Samson our enemy6 into our hand.
And when the people saw4 him, they praised17 their god: for they said,1 Our god hath delivered1 into our hands our enemy,6 and the destroyer56 of our country, which slew many52 of us.
And it came to pass, when their hearts were merry, that they said,4 Call3 for Samson, that he may make us sport.17 And they called4 for Samson out of the prison7 house; and he made them sport:17 and they set55 him between the pillars.
And Samson said4 unto the lad that held56 him by the hand, Suffer54 me that I may feel54 3237 54 the pillars whereupon the house standeth,12 that I may lean11 upon them.
Now the house was full1 of men and women; and all the lords of the Philistines [were] there; and [there were] upon the roof about three thousand men and women, that beheld6 while Samson made sport.2
And Samson called4 unto the LORD, and said,4 O Lord GOD, remember3 me, I pray thee, and strengthen16 me, I pray thee, only this once, O God, that I may be at once avenged11 5359 of the Philistines for my two eyes.
And Samson took hold4 of the two middle pillars upon which the house stood,12 and on which it was borne up,11 of the one with his right hand, and of the other with his left.
And Samson said,4 Let me die4 with the Philistines. And he bowed4 himself with [all his] might; and the house fell4 upon the lords, and upon all the people that [were] therein. So the dead5 which he slew52 at his death were more than [they] which he slew52 in his life.
Then his brethren and all the house of his father came down,4 and took4 him, and brought [him] up,4 and buried4 him between Zorah and Eshtaol in the buryingplace of Manoah his father. And he judged1 Israel twenty years.

"Think Like A Man" (Here Are 3 Reasons Why You Can't)
The first time I wrote about this farce of a philosophy, I was nice. Now, it's time to be real about this new movement that has swept the literary airwaves and has most recently landed on the silver screen to the tune of $33 million….in it's first week!
Are you serious?
How are we letting yet another flawed opinion on what a woman should do, say, and how she should even think take center stage in our relationships?
We survived, "The Rules."
We even accepted that, "He's not That Into You."
But, I cannot, nor will I, let thinking like a man slide.
First of all, it just must be said, you, woman, are not meant to think like a man. While I understand warning women not to be the "needy" girl, or the "whiney" girl, or even the "nag-y" girl, it's not fair to ask women to move from their God-given position into one of thinking like a man.
Why not?
I'm glad you asked.
- Reason One: Relationships are built on both parties being transparent.
At the moment that you start to think like a man, you are no longer yourself. So how, then, do you show this potential significant other (or "signif" as I like to say) the real you? How will they know that this is a person that they should love and cherish, if you're spending your off-time plotting your next "manly" move?
Ummmm…they won't.
- Reason Two: A real man will both act and think like one.
Emphasis on real. ladies. This means that you shouldn't have to work that shift. When you (finally) meet a man who is ready and appreciates a real woman, then he will want you to be you. And "you" are (pause for dramatic effect) a woman. An emotional, sometimes dramatic, nurturing soul created to work besides (catch that rib reference) your partner. To think like a man means to disregard who you truly are. And you, woman, are beautiful…mind and all.
And yes, there are STILL real men out there…I promise!
- Reason Three: You are NOT (I repeat, NOT) a Man!
I already said this, and it goes without saying. But for those who are in need of a blunt statement, there it is! Additionally, the way you think as a woman shouldn't stop you from having or keeping a relationship, it should be the reason that the man in your life loves you and holds you in high esteem.
A side note: If you think like a psycho, then everything I am saying is null and void. Just to be clear…
In conclusion, one of the best things about a woman is her mind. There's something amazing that happens in the mind of a woman and it makes her a phenomenal being. As such is the case, thinking like a man is not an option…nor should it ever be.
Just my two (woman-thinking) sense…

Join us for this exciting three-part series, with Madhuma Thompson as she skilfully blends Open Floor Movement practice with the wisdom of the Enneagram.
This three part series (April, May, June) will be an embodied immersion and study of the many faces of our personalities, and the Essence they may obscure. The Enneagram offers us a potent shortcut to glimpse the many layers of our personas, our motivations and who we 'take ourselves to be'.
Please note, you can do one workshop as a stand-alone enquiry, or you can do any combination of the three.
'Essence Revealed' is especially helpful for anyone who works with people professionally or who'd like a compassionate yet incisive view into their own or anothers behaviour patterns, and best of all, getting to the inherent goodness behind them.
The Open Floor Movement practice offers us a solid bridge to move with the familiar patterns of our personalities, to dance in the cracks of not knowing, into fresh, unbound and intimate territories of our soul.
Wisdom & Creative Action: April 29/30
Brilliance & Understanding: May 20/21
Compassion & True Connection: June 10/11

Wer-Was-Wo - Detailanzeige
Ergebnisanzeige "Continental Stoicisms (Germanic Receptions of Stoicism)"
|Call for Papers
|Continental Stoicisms (Germanic Receptions of Stoicism)
Queries to: clkwl(at)bristol.ac.uk
The study of Hellenistic philosophy has flourished in recent decades, with increasing attention going to the reconstruction of the doctrines and arguments of the ancient Greek and Roman Stoics. Neo-Stoicism has also emerged as a significant player in cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness therapies. However, though the situation differs from country to country, on the whole the breadth of continental interpretations has not been well integrated into either the scholarly or the therapeutic mainstream. Our goal is not simply to map how continental authors have received Stoicism, but rather to consider how continental approaches can enrich our understanding of Stoicism's theoretical, ethical, therapeutic and political importance in antiquity and today, and how renewed engagement with Stoic texts and scholarship can enrich continental philosophy.
From August 18-20 2016 we will hold the second workshop of the international research network, Continental Stoicisms: Beyond Reason and Wellbeing. This workshop will focus on the German tradition since Wilhelm Dilthey, which we take to include not only Germanophone philosophers in Europe (e.g. Friedrich Nietzsche, Edmund Husserl, Walter Benjamin, Martin Heidegger, Hans Blumenberg, Peter Sloterdijk), but also émigrés and philosophers in other countries working in the same broad tradition (e.g. Hannah Arendt, Leo Strauss, Hans Jonas). Furthermore, we draw no firm distinction between scholarship and philosophy, so that scholarly work on Stoicism by (e.g.) Franz Brentano, Ludwig Stein, Günter Abel, or Max Pohlenz could also be relevant. However, we are not interested in papers that focus on the historical correctness of interpretations. Rather, our focus is on exploring how dialogue between these traditions can be poetically and philosophically interesting.
The venue will be the University of Miami (Florida, USA). We invite abstracts of no more than 400 words for papers of 40 minutes delivery time, which should be emailed to Kurt Lampe at clkwl(at)bristol.ac.uk by Sunday March 13. Abstracts may be in English or German. You may direct any questions about the suitability of topics to the same address. Submissions from graduate students are most certainly welcome.
Through the generosity of the Arts and Humanities Research Council of the United Kingdom, we are able to offer financial assistance to any speakers who do not have travel budgets at their own institutions.

Rapper Ice Cube and Activist Symone Sanders are still set to appear on "Real Time With Bill Maher" this week following talk show host and comedian Bill Maher's major TV blunder last Friday where he jokingly referred to himself as a "House Ni**er".
According to HuffPost, on Monday, a spokesperson for Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) told HuffPost that he would be dropping out of his upcoming appearance on "Real Time with Bill Maher" amid the host's recent controversy. Now, a representative for rapper Ice Cube has confirmed that the actor/musician will not be canceling his own appearance for this Friday's episode.
"Ice Cube will still appear on Bill Maher this Friday as scheduled to talk about the release of 'Death Certificate: 25th Anniversary' edition, an album that was recorded in the wake of the Rodney King beating in 1991, which sadly, speaks to many of the same race issues that we as a society are still dealing with today," the spokesperson for Ice Cube told HuffPost over email.
The apparent reason for Cube still appearing on the show despite the controversy was so that he could have a part in discussing the controversy.
During Maher's show last Friday, the host joked that he was a "house n****r" while responding to a statement by Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.) where he had invited Maher to come "work in the fields" with him in his home state.
However, in a rare move for the comedian, Maher later apologized and called his use of the term "offensive."
Activist and former national press secretary for Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, Symone Sanders, told HuffPost that she also plans to attend.
"I am still planning on doing the show Friday," she wrote in an email. "I thought Maher's comment, Ben Sasse's reaction, and the crowd's applause were all equally distasteful, inappropriate and offensive. I am glad Maher too recognized as such and issued an apology."
Sen. Franken chose to cancel his upcoming appearance given the use of the "n-word."
"Senator Franken believes that what Bill Maher said was inappropriate and offensive, which is why he made the decision not to appear on the next episode of 'Real Time,'" Franken's spokesperson had said in an emailed statement. "He was glad to see Bill, who the Senator considers to be a good friend, apologize and express sincere regret for his comment."
This will be a good debate to watch none the less as the two Black panelists have not backed out on their scheduled appearance unlike the one white panelist (besides Bill).

Aimé Césaire World Literature Analysis
(Masterpieces of World Literature, Critical Edition)
While Léopold Senghor, Léon-Gontran Damas, and Aimé Césaire were studying in French colonial schools, they read textbooks that affirmed the superiority of French culture over the native civilizations of the colonized peoples. French colonial authorities arrogantly spoke of "the civilizing mission of France" and of their desire "to assimilate" those in their colonies into the supposedly superior French culture. In Paris, Senghor, Damas, and Césaire met numerous black students and writers from Africa and from various regions of the African diaspora. The term "African diaspora" refers to black people who now live in exile far from Africa as a result of the slave trade that transported their ancestors into slavery in the New World. Senghor, Damas, and Césaire took courses in Paris on African civilizations and learned a great deal about the rich cultures of Africa before the slave trade and the European colonial exploitation of the continent. They also came to realize that colonial powers had created negative images of black people as a means of justifying racism. As well-educated people who had learned to express themselves in fluent French, Senghor, Damas, and Césaire came to believe that it was their responsibility to speak for ordinary black people who needed to appreciate their profound dignity as human beings.
Both Senghor and Damas readily admitted that it was their friend Césaire who invented the term "Négritude." Césaire argued that "Négritude" meant describing the experience of what it meant to be a black person in literary works that would appeal to readers of all races. Senghor and Césaire had a white friend, Georges Pompidou, who studied with them in Paris and later served as the president of France from 1969 to 1974. Césaire and Senghor would read their poems to each other in order to make sure that these works authentically captured aspects of black culture, and then they would read their poems to Pompidou in order to find out if their poems were of universal appeal. Pompidou was not just an ordinary friend. He also possessed a deep appreciation of French poetry. He introduced Senghor and Césaire to the poetry of Victor Hugo and Charles Baudelaire and helped his friends realize that great poetry had to have universal appeal to readers. Pompidou's own acumen as a fine judge of French poetry was shown in his excellent Anthologie de la poésie française (1961), an anthology that is still used in introductory courses on French poetry.
In Return to My Native Land, Césaire illustrates how he combined Négritude with what Senghor later called la civilisation de l'universel (the civilization of the universal). In this long and exquisite poem, Césaire describes how his extended stay in France gave him the time to appreciate the values of his own culture and to realize that he could not be anything other than a proud black man from rural Martinique. He presents this highly autobiographical poem as an illustration of the voyage of self-discovery that all people experience in their lives. This poem helps readers understand the essential difference between what they do and who they are. Although Césaire achieved international fame as a statesman and a writer, he never forgot that he was raised in the impoverished village of Basse-Pointe, where his moral values were formed in his childhood. As a black man, Césaire knew that he could authentically describe the world only from his perspective of a black man. For Senghor, Damas, and Césaire, Négritude enabled them to present positive and authentic images of black culture, while at the same time depicting readers' universal search for their own values.
First published: 1961 (English translation, 1973)
Type of work: Poetry
A very personal collection of poems, in which Césaire explores the meaning of black culture from different countries in his understanding of the world.
The very title of this book of poems will send readers to a French dictionary because cadastre is an obscure legal term that means a register of land possessions. The French word cadastre translates into English as the equally rare word "cadastre," which can also be spelled "cadaster." Once readers have understood the meaning of the title, they begin to realize that Césaire strives to evoke many different places that were important in his life.
He naturally mentions his native island of Martinique in the poem "Ton portrait" ("Your Portrait"), addressed to Martinique. He evokes not the title of "the flower island" that is designed to attract tourists but rather the 1902 cauchemar (nightmare), when the Mount Pelée volcano exploded and killed more than thirty thousand people in the former capital of Saint-Pierre, leaving only one survivor. Martiniquais are still traumatized by this volcanic explosion, and the area around Mount Pelée remains largely abandoned more than a century after this natural disaster. Each afternoon there is a report on Martinique television designed to assure Martiniquais that they do not have to evacuate their homeland within twenty-four hours. During his fifty-six years as the mayor of Fort-de-France, Césaire had to make sure that the city's emergency services were always prepared for another explosion of this active volcano.
In another poem, "Ode à la Guinée" ("Ode to Guinea"), he evokes the West African country from which so many slaves were taken in chains to Martinique. Césaire "salutes" Guinea, whose screams of suffering still "strike" him. The horrors of slavery were so terrible that they can never disappear from Césaire's understanding of the world. In a powerful poem,...

In the year that marks 100 years since the birth of the poppy as a symbol of Remembrance and hope, the Royal British Legion is encouraging people across Bedfordshire to support the Poppy Appeal for the memory of the fallen and the future of the living.
This call to action came from Bedford Blues Rugby Club where the players helped launch the Legion's Poppy Appeal at their Goldington Road ground on Monday, October 20.
The Royal British Legion Bedfordshire county chairman, Eric Robinson MBE, said: "As we mark the centenary of the First World War, it's as important as ever to wear a poppy and remember the sacrifices and commitment made by our armed forces both then and now.
"The message behind this year's Poppy Appeal is Live On – to the memory of the fallen and future of the living, which captures perfectly why it's so important to donate to the appeal and wear a poppy.
"Every donation received will make a real difference to the lives of service men and women, veterans and their loved ones."
Mr Robinson added: "The Poppy Appeal 2014 embraces the dual role of the Royal British Legion as the custodians of Remembrance and provider of welfare support to the armed forces community.
"The poppy is a powerful symbol which is worn to commemorate all those who have fought and died in our armed forces and show support for those still serving today and their loved ones.
"We're encouraging people to dig deep for this year's Poppy Appeal to help us raise a national target of £40 million, so we can continue providing our vital support to individuals whether they're still serving, transitioning back to civilian life or have left the services, and importantly their families too."

November 14th is World Diabetes Day. In honor of that I have a blue manicure today. I am a Type II diabetic, as are a few of my family members. I think it is a good idea to raise more awareness about the disease, and you will find more info about WDD here.
For my blue, I broke out my OPI DS Magic. I recently acquired this beauty, and it is one of my very first DSs. It took me long enough, right? ;o)
Anyhoo, I really do love this polish. I think it is an awesome sparkly shade of glass flecked blue, and it has a gorgeous purple duochrome to it. Which my camera did not pick up. At all. Hopefully I will be able to get a shot of that for you in natural light tomorrow. But look at that blue!
Do you have Magic? How did it work for you with cleanup? If you have any tips for this one I would appreciate them. And do you have a favorite DS you want to recommend? Let me know which one. :o)
Have a great day/night everybody!

Ralph Baer, a German immigrant of Jewish ancestry, who left his country in 1933 as an 11-year-old kid in search of a better life in New York City with his parents months before the Kristallnacht attacks (part of the Holocaust), became known as the Father of Video Games after his dedication for making the Brown Box, the prototype for the creation of video game consoles.
In the US, Mr. Baer became a radio service technician (in 1940) and television engineer (in 1949), as well as military intelligence personnel for the US Army in London (in 1943).
Since 1966, Baer wanted to expand the fun times people at universities and military were having with computers, and he accomplished his goal after many years of trying to convince many companies. The Magnavox Odyssey became the first-ever video game console in 1972 after Baer licensed his invention.
Baer received the National Medal of Technology by President George W. Bush in 2006 for his creation of video game consoles.
The rest is history: The life and death of Atari consoles, the battle between Nintendo vs Sega in the 80s and 90s, the arrival of Sony PlayStation and Microsoft Xbox, and much more.
Gamers owe a bunch of gratitude to Baer for making gaming consoles a reality. Baer passed away at his home yesterday at the age of 92. The cause of his passing was not disclosed.
Thanks for making electronic entertainment available to millions of people, Ralph Baer.

text: First off let me say that it feels good to have found this forum because I know that I will get support from people that understand what I am going through rather than people trying to tell me that my sons actions are normal boy behaviors. My son is 4 years old and very violent, disruptive of any activities he is involved in, disobedient, destructive of any property, and openly mouthy towards any adult/person he is around. I recently found a child psychiatrist in my area that would see him, and I am working to get help with his behaviors and some more parenting skills for me but the process seems like I am never going to reach the light at the end of the tunnel. I keep trying to keep up hope but it is hard. That is why I am turning to this group in hopes of finding other parents going through similar things that I will be able to talk to and work through some struggles I am having. Ok so a little about me and my family history. I am Bipolar and my dad and all his side of the family have multiple mental health issues. So when I started having behavior issues with my son I was ready or so I though for the long road to dealing with him and finding help for him to ensure that he would have a easier time then I did in school and life. Well to my surprise I had a harder time finding a doctor that would entertain the though that my 4 year old had a problem than I thought I would. I was told that it was normal behaviors, or he was just acting out, or that I needed to be firmer with him. Well I knew that was not the case. But I finally found a doctor and he seems to be trying to help but to me none of the medications that we have tried have helped very much. The doctor has diagnosed him with ODD and ADHD with some Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) behaviors. Right now he is one Guanfacine (Tenex) ¾ mg 3 times a day and Methylphenidate (Ritalin)5mg 3 times a day. I was giving him Clonidine .1mg at bed time along with 3mg of melatonian but that was making him worse with sleeping so I stopped giving it to him and he seems to be sleeping a little better (when he does go to sleep). I have tried risperdal and that made him break out with a rash. I am going to ask the doctor about trying mood stabilizers with him when I go back because I dont think the ADHD route we are taking is working or the right thing. Some of his serious daily behaviors are : -Breaking his toys until they are completely destroyed and need to be thrown away -Throwing toys at the walls or tv in an attempt to break something or put a hole in the wall -Throwing tantrums for 30-45 minute where there is no calming him down -He will go from sitting and watching tv to yelling and screaming at me in my face for no reason -If I tell him no for any reason he throws a horriable tantrum and destroys he is room (putting holes in walls, throwing clothes and drawers across room, throwing toys all over and trying to break the window by throwing toys at it) -If he has a good day, I will take him to the store to get a prize and he will throw a tantrum at the store and never end up getting anything because I have to drag him out of the store -If I take him to the grocery store with me then he knocks stuff off shelves, pushes the basket into the shelves, yells and screams, until I just leave and take him home -he tries to hurt our dogs(which I now keep him and the dogs separate) he chases them, or tries to hit or kick them -he will try and sneak scissors into his room to cut up things( cut holes in his sheets, cut up posters on his walls or even cut up his DVD movies) I have since hid all sharp objects on top of the fridge -He does not sleep at night, he will wake up and scream all night until I come in there, then he will start screaming 5 minutes after I leave, he never tells me what he wants other than he does not want to go to sleep he wants to stay up and play -He will come into my room when he thinks I am sleeping and just stand over me(which is scary when you wake up to a child standing looking at you) And there are a lot more behaviors that I deal with on a daily basis. I know this was a long intro but today has been an unusually long and bad day so I had a lot on my mind. Thanks a head of time for the support and helping comments. Stacey

Kmart Delisted From NYSE20 Dec, 2002 By: Jessica Wolf
Another smackdown for Kmart came this week as the beleaguered retailer was delisted from the New York Stock Exchange Dec. 19.
Kmart (KM) stock was trading at about 35 cents per share at market close Dec. 19 and could not rally to meet exchange guidelines that required the stock to trade at more than $1 per share for a full month.
The company, in bankruptcy protection since early this year, will still list shares in the over-the-counter market under the ticker symbol KMRTQ for Kmart Corp. common stock.
Kmart officials told "CBS Market Watch" that the delisting will not interfere with Kmart Corp.'s continuing efforts to emerge from Chapter 11 protection. The delisting marked an end to Kmart's 84 years on the New York Stock Exchange.
Meanwhile, Kmart plans to take advantage of the last-minute gift shoppers of this year's shortened holiday shopping season by remaining open for 110 continuous hours, beginning at 6 a.m., Dec. 20.

History Brief, by
Johan Visschedijk, additional info
Ray Watkins
March 5, 2004,
revised August 15, 2008
Bell 309 KingCobra
In 1962 the US Army initiated its' Army's Advanced Aerial Fire Support System (AAFSS) program which had a tank-killing capability as a high priority. Bell responded by offering a version of the UH-1 Iroquois as the Design D-255 Iroquois Warrior. As a private venture Bell also produced the Model 207 Sioux Scout as a concept evaluation vehicle, first flown in July 1963 it was well received by the US Army, but a larger turbine-powered aircraft was preferred. Bell scaled down their D-255 as the Design D-262 which was tendered for the AAFSS contract in the 1964 competition. The Lockheed AH-56A Cheyenne and the Sikorsky S-66 were selected for the final evaluation process.
Charlie Siebel, chief experimental helicopter projects engineer at Bell, believed that the Army would soon be looking for an interim capability while the highly complex and costly AAFSS aircraft went through the development phases. He got approval to develop the Model 209, based on the UH-1 dynamic system, but with an 8ft (2.44 m) wide tandem-cockpit fuselage and an extensive array of ordnance systems. Army announced that they were seeking an interim gunship for operations in South East Asia and Bell formally offered the Model 209, and the AH-1 HueyCobra was first flown on September 7, 1965. Bell won a fly off against the Kaman UH-2 Seasprite and the Sikorsky S-61 and a development contract was signed in April 1966. The AH-1 HueyCobra became the first attack helicopter to go in series-production and entered operational service in 1967.
With the reduction of the activities in the Vietnam War in 1969 the US Army's focus turned to operations in Europe against Warsaw Pact forces and an attack helicopter with a tank-killing capability was re-emphasized as a high priority. Bell considered that an AH-1 HueyCobra with TOW (tube-launched optical-tracked wire-guided) anti-tank missiles could fill the gap and produced the Model 309 KingCobra as a private venture. The first aircraft (N309J) flew on September 10, 1971 powered by a Pratt & Whitney Twin Pac turbine engine and intended as an replacement for the USMC AH-1J SeaCobra. The second flew with a Lycoming T-55 turbine engine for the first time on January 31, 1972 and was to be offered to the US Army.
However the second prototype suffered from an accident in April 1972, so to participate in an Army evaluation of potential gun ships, the first prototype had its Twin Pac engine replaced by the Lycoming engine to suit the Army requirements. One other evaluated helicopter was the Sikorsky S-67 Blackhawk but neither of these types were ordered.
In November 1972 the US Army issued a request for proposals for their Advanced Attack Helicopter developing program to which Bell responded with the Model 409, resulting in June 1973 in a contract for two prototypes and a ground test vehicle. The two KingCobras have been used as research vehicles for this and other programs.
The KingCobra had the general configuration of the HueyCobra but had the wing stubs enlarged to a span of 13 ft (3.96 m), 5 ft (1.52 m) enlarged new designed rotor, 4 ft 7 in (1.40 m) longer fuselage and a tailboom extension. The General Electric chin barbette could mount a 0.79 in (20 mm) or 1.18 in (30 mm) rotary cannon, the wings had four hard points for various weapons like up to eight Hughes TOW missiles and two 19-tube rocket pods with 2.75 in (70 mm) FFARs (folding-fin aircraft rockets). The multi-sensor fire control system comprised infra-red, laser and low-light-level television systems.

Iraq votes for first time since US departure
Iraqis vote in provincial elections, the first ballots held in the country since American troops withdrew in late 2011 (AFP)
The run up to the elections was marred by poltical violence but millions of Iraqis turned out for Saturday's vote.
It was the first time Iraqi security forces took charge of a ballot since American troops invaded the country in 2003.
Violence has escalated throughout the election cycle, with dozens of people killed in bomb attacks, mostly in Shia neighbourhoods. Fourteen candidates, most of them Sunni, have been killed in the run-up. The Shia-led government postponed elections in two Sunni-dominated provinces.
On polling day itself, violence was limited to a handful of attacks at voting stations, including mortar rounds a nd small bombs that injured four people, according to the BBC.
As many as 14 million Iraqis were eligible for Saturday's vote, with turnout expected to be around the 50% mark, according to an official, quoted by Retuers.
