NILES, Ill., Sept. 19, 2012—When high profile meets high security, the challenge of ensuring reliable wireless performance gets kicked up a notch. Shure's venerable UHF-R® wireless microphone system proved that it was up to the task, as a series of A-list performers capped the 2012 Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina.
The final event at Bank of America Stadium included performances by the Foo Fighters, Mary J. Blige, and James Taylor. Shure UHF-R wireless systems were used by all of the performers.
For Production RF Technician James Stoffo, the frequency coordination challenge actually began months before the convention, when a preliminary site survey was conducted. "We were crushed for frequencies. I could see several hundred RF signals on my spectrum analyzer."
Louis Libin, the frequency coordinator for both political conventions, requested a Special Temporary Authority from the FCC, permitting them to operate wireless audio equipment in two frequency ranges outside of the broadcast television band, which are reserved for public safety and commercial use, but had not yet been assigned to licensees in the Charlotte area.
With the additional spectrum resources, Stoffo was able to successfully operate the 12 UHF-R wireless microphone systems, 10 PSM®1000 personal monitor systems, and six intercom systems required for the show. The predictably heavy presence of police and Secret Service officers with their radios added to the overall RF noise level. "From my analyzer…from what I could tell, the density was on par with the Super Bowl," he says.

1934 Ford, Builder Showcase Car – NSRA Nationals
"There is simply nothing better than LizardSkin, especially on a build like this...."
-- Chip, Pottstown, PA
"I applied four gallons of LizardSkin® to the entire interior trunk area and the sound level and deadness of the panels is truly amazing! We measured a 30 degree temp differential skin temp to inside temp."
"sprayed the inside and underside of a 1936 Ford …out in the sun one day, roof temperature of the 1936 Ford was about thirty degrees cooler than the 1965 Ford Falcon right next to it."
"LizardSkin® was easy to apply and works much better than others in keeping my car cool inside. The deadening effects also made the sound system much greater and clearer."
"CalFabz built my 47 Ford and they only use LizardSkin to beat heat and noise. After seeing both coatings in action, LizardSkin is the only thing I'll use in future builds. I'm looking forward to a cool and quiet ride this summer."
"We used LizardSkin coatings because we knew it was the only thing that would keep the Hellfire cool and quiet."
"I saw a demo at a car show of both the sound control and ceramic insulation and decided that if it worked half as good as the demo it would be great."
"LizardSkin is amazing. Do you know how nice it is to drive in what was once basically a big metal drum and actually be able to use the phone?"
"LizardSkin is a great product. Both were used in my car to keep it super quiet and very cool."
"I drive approximately 100 miles per day. 70 of these miles are on the freeway and after the application of the Lizardskin I find the road noise has reduced 60 to 70%."
"I applied both LizardSkin Products SC and CI to the exterior and interior. This is the best and easiest product to use and it does a fantastic job!"
"LizardSkin is an unbelievable product. My car is very quiet and very cool now. I'll never build another car without it."
"My car was very hot and I was unable to drive for very long distances."
"We would not build another car without it. My Dad switched from another product he used on his car."
"LizardSkin Sound Control is great. I can really hear the high performance of my ride."
"Just wanted to drop you a note to tell you how excited I am to see the difference Lizard Skin makes. After it finished curing, the difference in resonance is staggering."
"The surface temperature of my toolbox was 140?F in the Houston Summer heat, and made accessing it a scary prospect if there were no clouds in the sky."
"We applied it to the inside surfaces of the body and to all underside panels including the transmission and driveshaft tunnel."
"Best product in the world, I will never build a car without it"
"The heat in my car was terrible until I applied LizardSkin CI. A great benefit is that I was able to top coat it to match my exterior paint."
"LizardSkin is an awesome product for both keeping the interior cool and quieting down the noise. It's one of the best things we did for this car."
"LizardSkin is by far the best product for making your car quieter and cooler, as it made our Suburban very comfortable to drive. We will never build another one with out it."
"I drive thousands of miles a year going to Car Shows. There is nothing out there that can quiet and cool your car like LizardSkin can."
"LizardSkin keeps my "LRHC" Roadster Truck Cool and Quiet, use this product once and you will never use anything else."
"I used LizardSkin because I can get into all of those little corners and crevices where the other stuff can't go or won't stay."
"There is simply nothing better than LizardSkin, especially on a build like this...."
"I have used the other stuff and the new technology of LizardSkin is superior to anything I have found, this product is the best!"
"This product was so easy to apply ,really user friendly and almost odorless when applied. The finished product looks great !!! I will use this product on my next project."
"We used LizardSkin SC & CI on the entire inside of the car, roof, cowl, doors, and floor. It helped control the interior temperatures and makes the AC not have to work so hard."
"We used it front to back through the floor and trunk. LizardSkin is an amazing product!"
"I used LizardSkin Sound Control and Ceramic Insulation inside the cab and doors, on both sides of the firewall, and under the fenders too..."
"I am impressed with how well LizardSkin dampened the sound of the bare metal, sealed over the factory body seams, and encapsulated the whole body surface."
"We completely encapsulated the entire interior with LizardSkin Ceramic Insulation and Sound Control. It makes it so much better to drive. It's so quiet and with the insulation, it's very cool inside."
"The [Jayco Greyhawk] camper is quieter and the heat is 100% less! Another happy camper!"
"No way I'm riding in a car without LizardSkin."
"This is a bottom of a Trans Am we are doing. It looks real good in our opinion; we are very happy. It has a factory look to it."
"We love using LizardSkin on our builds!"
"We love using LizardSkin on our builds!"
"We love using LizardSkin on our builds!"
"There is simply nothing better than LizardSkin, especially on a build like this...."

He was well known as Barack Obama's pastor, until Obama denounced Wright's remarks ahead of the 2008 presidential election after controversy surrounding Wright's sermons and political activism, especially regarding racism. In May of that year, Obama resigned his membership in the church. Also because of Wright's comments, Northwestern University rescinded the honorary doctorate of sacred theology it had granted to Wright.

The Gift of Partisan Politics
The polarized political atmosphere that has defined the Obama era and this year's tumultuous presidential election is viewed by many as ultimate proof of the destructiveness of partisan politics. But Sean Wilentz sees a very different story. In "The Politicians and the Egalitarians: The Hidden History of American Politics", the famed Princeton historian argues that our partisan politics have always been a critical part of a functioning political system and a crucial tool against the extremes of wealth and want. This annual lecture recognizes a generous multiyear contribution to the Chicago Humanities Festival by Julie and Roger Baskes.

Paula Hawkins | Appel Salon
"I was never going to be the type of writer who wrote about spies or serial killers. The stories I'm drawn to are the ones in the newspaper when there is an ordinary family...something terrible has happened and I'm always so fascinated by how did they get to that point? And do they recover after?" Paula Hawkins wrote the global phenomenon, The Girl on the Train. She sat down with Johanna Schneller to talk about her next novel, Into the Water, the addictive new psychological thriller.
Populism in the Time of Trump: A Debate
With editors of Dissent magazine and American Affairs. At Verso Books in Brooklyn, May 26, 2017. After a year of global populist upheaval, the elite consensus that has guided policymaking around the world since the collapse of the Soviet Union is splintering apart. What comes next? Are new political categories required to make sense of politics today, or are the divisions between left and right starker than ever? And what role do intellectuals have in a time of surging populism? Dissent editors Sarah Leonard (also of The Nation) and Timothy Shenk will debate these questions with Julius Krein and Gladden Pappin, editors of American Affairs, a new journal the New York Times says "seeks to fill the void left by a conservative intellectual establishment more focused on opposing Mr. Trump than on grappling with the rejection of globalism and free-market dogma that propelled his victory."
"Does Human Nature Make Socialism Impossible?" with Adaner Usmani
"Good in theory, bad in practice." Sure, the concept sounds nice, but people aren't very nice, right? Isn't capitalism much more suited to human nature—a nature dominated by competitiveness and venality?
Socialists don't believe these truisms. They don't view history as a mere chronicle of cruelty and selfishness. They also see countless acts of empathy, reciprocity, and love. People are complex: they do unspeakable things, but they also engage in remarkable acts of kindness and, even in difficult situations, show deep regard for others.
Adaner Usmani is a graduate student at New York University and on the board of "New Politics."
Filmed at Verso Books in Brooklyn, March 14, 2017.

Anne Helen Petersen: Too Fat, Too Slutty, Too Loud
Anne Helen Petersen talks about her new book Too Fat, Too Slutty, Too Loud: The Rise and Reign of the Unruly Woman with Julie Gerstein, BuzzFeed Senior Lifestyle Editor.
If a woman dares to be too boisterous, or too outspoken, society's reaction is to tear them down. This has always been the status quo, but in spite of the opposition, the persona of the unruly woman has begun to garner positive attention and carve itself into the cultural consciousness. In this fascinating read, Petersen examines the traits that make a woman unruly, and why in today's culture, some celebrities that meet the mark are met with ever rising fame, as well as scorn. Why are we as societal voyeurs drawn to these women, and simultaneously harsh in our judgement of them?

In this talk she tells the story of these two fascinating and brilliant eccentrics and discuss her process of primary-source research and creative transformation. She also displays her animations of how the Analytical Engine would have looked and operated, some of the first visualizations ever created of that extraordinary machine.

Elevator needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 305 designs submitted by 78 freelance designers.
Multicast, an expert in the management and delivery of Internet video, is looking to make a huge splash. We're rebranding our flagship Internet video solution, Vidego. This logo will appear all over the world, in print, online, and on the air. It's your to chance to flex your creative muscle and strengthen your resume.
Vidego is all about enhancing communication for our customers. The Vidego Internet Video Platform is a collection of five (5) best-of-breed components that can be de-coupled to meet a customer's or partner's specific needs or integrate into an existing solution. Vidego enables marketing, human resources, public relations, and other departments to upload video content, build customized media players, and deliver online video through a variety of channels.
View some of our premiere clients here:
- Should embody a video-centric theme or elements, first and foremost it needs to communicate 'video'.
- Think post-Web 2.0. This one is going to be forward-thinking.- Must be unique and recognizable, that includes the text.- Designs that are able to capture the idea of five elements coming together will be given greater consideration.- Keep in mind this logo is for an online video company, so the logo will most likely be animated.
- No elongated designs, logo should fit into a square-ish space.- No CAPS or all lower-case text, text should be written as: Vidego.- No light-weight fonts.- No realist or modernisttypefaces: no Helveticas, no Arials, no Futuras. The font needs to be highly-legible and unique. - If it is going to feature serifs, no classical or traditional serifs. I'd much prefer something post-modernist.
- No film reels (I'd prefer to stay away from the film strips too). Most of our clients don't identify with the film reel symbol since they work with digital video and tapes.

Individual Rights and Government Wrongs
eBook (PDF), 303 Pages
Price: $5.49
From the Tea Parties to Occupy Wall Street, Americans are not happy with their government and they are making their displeasure known. But what is causing this divide? And what is the solution? Individual Rights and Government Wrongs examines two fundamentally different views regarding what type of nation America should be. Using examples from history and the contemporary world, this book looks at what happens when individuals are free and what happens when government intervenes in the lives of citizens. Individual Rights and Government Wrongs challenges both conservatives and progressives. It rejects the notion that government intervention is ever practical or moral, no matter the issue, no matter the "general welfare" that will allegedly result, no matter the "will of the people." If you are concerned about the future of America, Individual Rights and Government Wrongs will give you the intellectual ammunition you need to fight current trends.

Natural slat back rocker 04/17/2013
The rocker arrived & is exactly as described. It was easy to put together. I chose the sports pattern. It is great! I asked for the football to be next to the name. I love it! Thanks!
Natural Slat Back Rocker
Great customer service 01/20/2013
I was disappointed when I received my rocker. This is the third rocker I have ordered from MB, and I have been pleased in the past. (I've also ordered stop stools.) The rocker had a mis-drilled hole, and in order to assemble one of the cross bars, we had to try and widen the drilled hole. It didn't work out so well. There were also a few white splotches on the wood that took away from the name/design. I contacted customer service and they immediately re-did the chair and shipped me a new one with no added cost to me. I will definitely continue to order from MB!
Natural Slat Back Rocker
Best gifts ever 01/04/2014
The parents loved the rocker. We had purchased on for their little girl when she was born and we got their son one now. I have never be disappointed in anything I have ordered from this company.

Jetty is just a Java program that you can run like any other Java program once you set up a classpath. For example, you can run the SimplestServer from the Embedding Jetty Tutorial as follows:
java -cp $JETTY_CLASSPATH org.eclipse.jetty.embedded.SimplestServer
Similarly, if you configure your server with jetty.xml rather than a Java main, you can run the server with:
java -cp $JETTY_CLASSPATH org.eclipse.jetty.xml.XmlConfiguration etc/jetty.xml
The difficult part of both these examples is knowing what must be on the JETTY_CLASSPATH. The Jetty server comes in over 46 Jars, so working out exactly which Jars you need can be difficult. If you develop with Maven, these Jar dependencies can be managed for you, but you still need to set up a classpath when running from the command line.
The start.jar mechanism is an executable Jar file that builds a class path and then executes your main program. It is a generic mechanism that you can use with any Java program. A start.config file controls its behaviour. The standard start.jar comes with a start.config file for Jetty, so that you can start Jetty with:
java -jar start.jar
You can see the effective command line start.jar generates by providing the --dry-run parameter:
java -jar start.jar --dry-run
which for the default case generates:
/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-sun-188.8.131.52/jre/bin/java \ -Djetty.home=/home/gregw/src/jetty-7.0.0/jetty-distribution/target/distribution \ -cp /home/gregw/src/jetty-7.0.0/jetty-distribution/target/distribution/resources:\ /home/gregw/src/jetty-7.0.0/jetty-distribution/target/distribution/lib/jetty-xml-7.0.0.RC6-SNAPSHOT.jar:\ /home/gregw/src/jetty-7.0.0/jetty-distribution/target/distribution/lib/servlet-api-2.5.jar:\ /home/gregw/src/jetty-7.0.0/jetty-distribution/target/distribution/lib/jetty-http-7.0.0.RC6-SNAPSHOT.jar:\ /home/gregw/src/jetty-7.0.0/jetty-distribution/target/distribution/lib/jetty-continuation-7.0.0.RC6-SNAPSHOT.jar:\ /home/gregw/src/jetty-7.0.0/jetty-distribution/target/distribution/lib/jetty-server-7.0.0.RC6-SNAPSHOT.jar:\ /home/gregw/src/jetty-7.0.0/jetty-distribution/target/distribution/lib/jetty-security-7.0.0.RC6-SNAPSHOT.jar:\ /home/gregw/src/jetty-7.0.0/jetty-distribution/target/distribution/lib/jetty-servlet-7.0.0.RC6-SNAPSHOT.jar:\ /home/gregw/src/jetty-7.0.0/jetty-distribution/target/distribution/lib/jetty-webapp-7.0.0.RC6-SNAPSHOT.jar:\ /home/gregw/src/jetty-7.0.0/jetty-distribution/target/distribution/lib/jetty-deploy-7.0.0.RC6-SNAPSHOT.jar:\ /home/gregw/src/jetty-7.0.0/jetty-distribution/target/distribution/lib/jetty-servlets-7.0.0.RC6-SNAPSHOT.jar:\ /home/gregw/src/jetty-7.0.0/jetty-distribution/target/distribution/lib/jetty-util-7.0.0.RC6-SNAPSHOT.jar:\ /home/gregw/src/jetty-7.0.0/jetty-distribution/target/distribution/lib/jetty-io-7.0.0.RC6-SNAPSHOT.jar \ org.eclipse.jetty.xml.XmlConfiguration \ /home/gregw/src/jetty-7.0.0/jetty-distribution/target/distribution/etc/jetty.xml
Building the Environment
The start.jar builds an environment of Java system properties and start properties that parameterize the start mechanism and the execution of the program. In a start.config, the string ${name} is expanded to a start property and $(name) is expanded to either a start property or a system property.
The main property set by the default start.config is jetty.home, which is assumed to be the directory in which start.jar is deployed. If the jetty.home is not set with a -Djetty.home, then ".", ".." and some well known directories are searched for start.jar.
The $(version) property is also determined by examining the manifest of the start.jar.
Building the Classpath
The default start.config assumes that all the Jetty Jars are in a directory tree under ${jetty.home}/lib. The following Jars are put on all classpaths built by the default start.config:
$(jetty.home)/lib/jetty-util-$(version).jar $(jetty.home)/lib/jetty-io-$(version).jar
If you don't specify any OPTIONS, the following entries are also added by default:
$(jetty.home)/resources/ $(jetty.home)/lib/jetty-xml-$(version).jar $(jetty.home)/lib/servlet-api-2.5.jar $(jetty.home)/lib/jetty-http-$(version).jar $(jetty.home)/lib/jetty-continuation-$(version).jar $(jetty.home)/lib/jetty-server-$(version).jar $(jetty.home)/lib/jetty-security-$(version).jar $(jetty.home)/lib/jetty-servlet-$(version).jar $(jetty.home)/lib/jetty-webapp-$(version).jar $(jetty.home)/lib/jetty-deploy-$(version).jar $(jetty.home)/lib/jetty-servlets-$(version).jar $(jetty.home)/lib/ext/*.jar
This is sufficient to run most standard web applications.
If the system property ${path} is defined, it is treated as a classpath string and prepended to the generated classpath. If the system property ${lib} is defined, it is treated as a directory of Jars and all Jars discovered are prepended to the generated classpath.
Setting OPTIONS
You can specify options to the start.jar to change the default Jars added to the classpath:
java -jar start.jar OPTIONS=Server,jmx,ajp,setuid
To list the options available, use:
java -jar start.jar --help
If you specify an option, the default Jars listed above are not added to the classpath.
Three types of options are available:
- Convenience Options–By convention, options starting with a capital letter are convenience options that include many other options. For example the "Server" option includes all the options commonly needed to run a server: xml,server,security,servlet,webapp,deploy and servlets options; while the option "server" contains just the Jars for the core HTTP server. "All" is the other convenience option.
- Known module options–The main known Jetty modules each have an option predefined to select their required Jars. Known options include xml, server, security, servlet, webapp, deploy, serlvets, rewrite, jmx, ajp, jndi, annotations, setuid, policy and client.
- Discovered options–Directories within ${jetty.home}/lib can be discovered as options. The "lib/ext", "lib/jsp" and "lib/jta" are directories that can be discovered as an options.
Building the Arguments
The jetty start.config file lists has etc/jetty.xml as the default command line argument, which in the default case is the name of the configuration file passed to the XmlConfiguration main. If you need additional configuration files, you must list all the configuration files on the command line along with the options required for the classpath. For example, the following runs Jetty with JMX and AJP connector:
java -jar start.jar OPTIONS=Server,jmx,ajp etc/jetty-jmx.xml etc/jetty.xml etc/jetty-ajp.xml
Use the --help parameter to list the available XML configuration files.
Running the Main
The jetty start.config has org.eclipse.jetty.xml.XmlConfiguration as the main class to run. You can replace it with another class by setting the start.class system property.
Setting Defaults: start.ini
If the file start.ini exists in the same directory as start.jar, it is read and every non-comment line is treated as a command line argument. The following start.ini sets the options and default configuration files for using the server with JMX and SSL:
#=========================================================== # Jetty start.jar arguments #----------------------------------------------------------- OPTIONS=Server,jmx,resources etc/jetty-jmx.xml etc/jetty.xml etc/jetty-ssl.xml
As well as normal start.jar arguments, it is possible to put JVM arguments in a start.ini. However, because these cannot affect the JVM that is running start.jar, you should provide the --exec option so that a new JVM is spawned with the arguments. The following start.ini example sets the JVM heap memory and enables remote JMX management:
#=========================================================== # Jetty start.jar arguments #----------------------------------------------------------- --exec -Xmx512m -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote OPTIONS=Server,jmx,resources etc/jetty-jmx.xml etc/jetty.xml etc/jetty-ssl.xml

The field is taking shape for Bellator's newly organized season-six bantamweight tournament.
Although the 135-pound tournament is the fifth and final addition to the early-2012 calendar, some notable names have been booked for it.
Officials told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) that Marcos Galvao (10-5-1 MMA, 1-2 BFC), Luis "Betao" Nogueira (12-2 MMA, 2-1 BFC), Rodrigo "Ratinho" Lima (9-0 MMA, 0-0 BFC) and Ed West (17-6 MMA, 3-2 BFC) are all slotted for the eight-man field.
Additionally, as MMAjunkie.com reported earlier today, Masakatsu Ueda (14-1-2 MMA, 0-0 BFC) also has signed with the organization and will be part of the field.
Officials will announce the complete field in the coming weeks.
Bellator's sixth season kicks off in March, and as usual, cards will stream on Spike.com and air on MTV2. In addition to bantamweight tournament, the promotion is hosting tourneys in the featherweight, lightweight, welterweight and middleweight divisions. Each tourney winner gets $100,000 in total pay and a guaranteed title shot.
Champion Zach Makovsky currently rules the bantamweight division.
Galvao was bounced from the season-five tourney semifinals with a close split-decision loss to Alexis Villa. The WEC vet's only other Bellator loss came to Joe Warren.
Nogueira enters the tournament with eight wins in his past nine fights. The lone loss came to West in the season-five tourney's opening round.
Lima makes his promotional debut following a perfect 9-0 run in his native Brazil. Seven of his wins have come via stoppage.
West enters his third tournament following a runner-up finish in season three and a semifinal finish in season five. The losses came to Makovsky and Eduardo Dantas, respectively.
Ueda, a wrestling and grappling champion, is perhaps best known for his two-year reign as Shooto's featherweight (132-pound) champion. He won the vacant title with a victory over Koetsu Okazaki before a split-draw with Marcos Galvao and decision victories over So Tazawa and Eduardo Dantas.
For more on Bellator's upcoming season, stay tuned to the MMA Rumors section of the site.

We got a tip from a reader that Kathy May's Restaurant has moved and opened up as Kathy May's Lakeview Café at 6622 Lakeview Drive in Huntington Beach.
The home-style restaurant, previously on Goldenwest Street, offers breakfast, lunch and dinner at reasonable prices. Weekday breakfast specials run about $3.99 with the most expensive dinners at about $10.99.
"The restaurant has windows all across the front so you can see the lake," owner Kathy May said. "There's a huge fireplace and the décor has a very cottage type of feel — like you're on vacation on the lake."
It also features an indoor and outdoor patio with views of Lake Huntington and Central Park.
Fan favorites, according to May, include the spinach omelet for breakfast, and patty melts, salmon and country fried steak for dinner.
The restaurant is open from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Sunday; (714) 842-7700.

Lagunan writes memoir
I just received a copy of Lagunan author Niki Smart's memoir, "Hell Camp: How to Chew on a Crazy Childhood and Avoid Checking."
I haven't started reading it — more to come on that later — but in case you weren't aware, Smart read an excerpt of it at the most recent L.A. Times Festival of Books and had an author signing at Laguna Beach Books.
Smart, who works with at-risk teens, also teaches yoga and has written several songs. More on her book and life is at niki-smart.weebly.com.
Christmas Eve in Laguna
Sapphire Laguna also is offering a special Christmas Eve dinner. The three-course prefix dinner, prepared specially by Chef Azmin Ghareman, will be from 4: 30 to 9:30 p.m. and will feature menu of "culinary influences from around the world." Cost for the dinner starts at $52.
Reservations and more information is at Reservations http://www.sapphirelaguna.com.

Pop Life Art: Celebrity Artists & Celebrity Art
This is my first blog entry. I started Pop Life Art in April. I am very happy with how things are going so far. I've had a few nice mentions "in the press" (I've listed them at the end of this post if you would like to take a look at them). I was also quite pleased to be listed in the Yahoo Directory in June.
I will make posts here occasionally to let you know what's going on with the site and with me. For example, today I went to the Malibu Arts Festival. It was very nice, although a bit too hot. Jane Seymour's art was on display, and I believe I overheard someone say that she will be there tomorrow. I can't be certain though. Who knows? I might go back tomorrow.

Indiana's form of government is closely modeled on the federal government with three branches: executive, legislative and judicial. The Governor, elected for a four-year term, heads the executive branch. The General Assembly, the legislative branch, consists of the Senate and the House of Representatives. Indiana's fifty State Senators are elected for four-year terms and one hundred State Representatives for two-year terms. In odd-numbered years, the General Assembly meets in a sixty-one day session. In even-numbered years, the Assembly meets for thirty session days. The judicial branch consists of the Indiana Supreme Court, Court of Appeals and local circuit courts. On the national level, Indiana is represented in Congress by two Senators and nine Representatives.
In Indiana, public schools for K-12 are set up as consolidated school districts with local school boards, along with the state, responsible for meeting the educational needs of the local community. Indiana also has several nationally known private schools such as Howe and Culver military academies.
Public institutions of higher learning include Ball State University at Muncie, Indiana State University at Terre Haute, and Vincennes University at Vincennes. The two largest public universities are Purdue University at West Lafayette and Indiana University at Bloomington. Both have established regional campuses around the state. Purdue leads the nation in undergraduate engineering enrollment and IU graduates more medical doctors than any other school. The University of Notre Dame at South Bend is one of the most prestigious Catholic universities in the world. Butler University, Indianapolis; DePauw University, Greencastle; Wabash College, Crawfordsville; and Earlham College, Richmond are other notable private institutions.
Recreation and Sports:
Over 1.1 million acres of land are available for outdoor recreation in Indiana. The Department of Natural Resources operates parks, forests, nature preserves, fish and wildlife areas, museums and memorials across the state. Brown County State Park and the Indiana State Museum at Indianapolis are two of the more popular facilities.
Indianapolis has become a major center for sporting events. Besides being home of the Indiana Pacers professional basketball team and the Indianapolis Colts in pro football, Indianapolis is also host to the "Indy 500" in May and the "Brickyard 400" in August, run at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and the RCA Championship tennis matches each summer.

About rJavaGIT accessDownload/FilesNewsCheck resultsPackage R docs
rJava is a simple R-to-Java interface. It is comparable to the .C/.Call C interface. rJava provides a low-level bridge between R and Java (via JNI). It allows to create objects, call methods and access fields of Java objects from R.
rJava release versions can be obtained from CRAN - usually install.packages("rJava") in R will do the trick. The current development version can be downloaded from the files section.
In a sense the inverse of rJava is JRI (Java/R Interface) which provides the opposite direction - calling R from Java. JRI is now shipped as a part of the rJava package, although it still can be used as a separate entity (especially for development).
Currently rJava is used as a part of JGR, iPlots and JavaGD software/packages.
Please report any bugs or wishes related to rJava or JRI using Issues on GitHub.
2016/01/06 - rJava 0.9-8 released. Mostly work-arounds for bugs in Oracle Java on OS X - see NEWS for details.
2015/07/27 - rJava 0.9-7 released. Mostly various bugfixes - see NEWS for details.
2012/12/23 - rJava 0.9-6 released. Fixes Java parameter issue introduced in 0.9-5 on systems with headless mode (e.g. OS X).
2009/10/27 - rJava 0.8-0 released. Many new features mostly thanks to Romain Francois -- check the NEWS file for details.
2009/08/22 - rJava 0.7-0 released. Recommended update (includes bugfixes to fields handling, new support for with(), method/field auto-completion and more forgiving $ operator), includes JRI 0.5-0.
2008/09/22 - rJava 0.6-0 released. Adds support for Java serialization and R-side cache which enables Java objects to become persistent across sessions. See ?.jcache in R (or the online help) for details.
2007/11/05 - rJava 0.5-1 released. Fixes issues with Windows; and minor updates (see NEWS).
2007/08/22 - rJava 0.5-0 released. This is a major update featuring many new features and bugfixes. It sports a new custom class loader, much improved (and faster) field support, integration of all native Java types, automatic fall-back to static methods, infrastructure for writing Java packages easily (see .jpackage), support for custom convertors and call-backs. Please read the NEWS file for details.
2007/02/27 - rJava 0.4-14 (update is recommended to all users due to memory leak fixes), please use CRAN to get the latest release. The current development version is rJava 0.5-0 (available from here - see SVN access and download on the left). It is under heavy construction right now with many new features, so feel free to test-drive it if you want to be on the bleeding edge (it is a bit chatty as some debugging output is still enabled). Some of the highlights are memory profiler, intelligent class loader, easy Java package integration and callback support.
First, make sure you have JDK 1.4 or higher installed (some platforms require hgher version see R Wiki). On unix systems make sure that R was configured with Java support. If not, you can re-configure R by using R CMD javareconf (you may have to prepend sudo or run it as root depending on your installation - see R-ext manual A.2.2 for details). On Windows Java is detected at run-time from the registry.
rJava can be installed as any other R package from CRAN using install.packages('rJava'). See the files section in the left menu for development versions.
JRI is only compiled if supported, i.e. if R was configured as a framework or with --enable-R-shlib.
If you want to run R within a Java application, please see the JRI pages for details. rJava allows you to use R code to create Java objects, call Java methods and pass data between R and Java. Most functions are already documented by the corresponding help pages in R, but here is a very basic crashcourse:
The following gives a quick guide to the use of rJava. If you have questions about installation, please visit the R Wiki - rJava package.
Next, we will call a simple method:
There is a simple function .jstrVal that returns the content of a string reference or calls toString() method and returns the string:
Finally a note about the $ convenience operator. It provides an experimental, but simple way of writing code in Java style at the cost of speed. Taking the String example, you can achieve the same with:

WILMINGTON, N.C. (AP) — Frantz Massenat scored a career-high 30 points and Freddie Wilson scored all 16 of his points in the second half as Drexel staged a 30-point turnaround to defeat UNC Wilmington 79-63 on Saturday.
The Dragons (10-7, 2-2 Colonial Athletic Association) were down 14 just before halftime. They first caught the Seahawks (6-14, 0-5) with 11:47 remaining after Wilson scored six straight points. Wilson put Drexel up for good at 53-51 with a basket with 8:39 left. From there, the Dragons outscored the Seahawks 26-12.
Chris Fouch finished with 14 points for the Dragons, who hit 16 of 24 shots in the second half (66.7 percent) plus 16 of 18 free throws.
Drexel came in averaging nine turnovers, third-best in the nation, but had seven in the first half. They had just two in the second half.
Craig Ponder scored a season-high 16 points for UNCW, which has lost nine straight.

CLOUD PINK @ Savina Gallery from everyware.kr on Vimeo.
Korean artist group Everyware (Hynwoo Bang and Yunsil Heo) recreates the sky and its clouds as part of an interactive installation on the ceiling of a Korean exhibition space, the Savina Gallery.
Cloud Pink, a multi-media project, serves a pseudo sky pool in which you can touch and interact with the color, shapes and sizes of clouds. The work is composed of a fabric screen, and an interactive software; the two work together to create a believable yet whimsical recreation of the clouds on the sky.
"Today, I visualize my colorful cloud of words right in front of your eyes. Touch the pink clouds drifting on a giant fabric screen, reminisce your childhood clouds of dreams. I spent countless sleepless nights just to realize my unproductive and only romantic cloud of words. But, isn't it nice if we could feel the clouds at our fingertips?"

The sequencing of the human genome was the centerpiece of the Human Genome Project. It was truly an international effort. Over twenty labs in six countries were directly involved in the sequencing itself. Many others contributed to the mapping of the human genome and to disseminating the information to the scientific community.
The National Human Genome Research Institute's (NHGRI) human sequencing program began with a set of pilot projects in 1996 and scaled up to full production levels in 1999. A draft version of the sequence was published in Nature in February 2001.
The sequencing effort continued at full strength and is now complete. The completion of the finished sequence coincided with the April 2003, 50th anniversary of the discovery of the DNA double helix by Dr. James Watson and Dr. Francis Crick, and was announced at 50 Years of DNA: From Double Helix to Health, A Celebration of the Genome.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Regional media reported on Thursday that Israel was behind an aerial assault that completely destroyed a Syrian air base along the country's Mediterranean coast overnight.
The strike, which reportedly came from the direction of the sea, took out a Russian-made surface-to-air missile battery and its supporting vehicles and facilities.
Shortly before that, Lebanese media reported that a squadron of Israeli fighter jets had been spotted flying up the coast near Beirut. But, such reports are common in the Lebanese media.
The attack happened in an area of Syria still strongly under the grip of dictator Bashar Assad.
Lebanese, Syrian and other Arab media were certain Israel was behind the strike. Israeli officials refused to comment on the reports.
Israel has on several occasions over the past year attacked sensitive targets in Syria that it felt posed a threat to the security of the Jewish state.

Disneyland -- Mr. Toad's Wild Ride
The beloved ride was at both Disneyland and Walt Disney World until 1998 when Disney shut down Mr. Toad at the Magic Kingdom in favor of a Winnie the Pooh ride. Disneyland keeps Mr. Toad running while it also has a version of the Pooh ride. It's one of several dark rides that separate Disneyland from Walt Disney World.
