As Rick Santorum's poll numbers rise, so do the Mitt Romney attacks. This week the Romney campaign, directly and through surrogates, have attacked Rick Santorum as "big labor's favorite senator."
But that's not how Pennsylvania labor leaders remember their former senator.
Aside from votes here and there, they remember a man who was hostile to unions and received a career average of just 12 percent from the AFL-CIO for votes he cast from 1995 to 2006. Three of those years he received a zero on the labor lobby's scorecard.
Rick Bloomingdale, president of the Pennsylvania AFL-CIO, remembered trying to schedule meetings with Santorum, but always being passed over to his staff. After appealing to the Republican Senator's aides on the labor issue of the day, Bloomingdale said his office would receive a letter stating the senator "was opposing you on whatever that issue was."
"His thing was, 'I won without you.' He's an arrogant guy, he thinks he's right and everyone else is wrong," Bloomingdale said. "Calling him a labor supporter would be similar to calling Mitt Romney a conservative. They're both ridiculous."
Bill George, who preceded Bloomingdale as state president, said in the few instances Santorum supported labor, it was often because business was also on board. When Santorum, then a Pittsburgh-area U.S. congressman, voted against the North American Free Trade Agreement, it was because the state's steel industry also opposed it. He then voted for subsequent trade agreements with other nations.
"No, he's never been a friend of labor," George said.
"Rick being a labor supporter is laughable," said Greg Potter, head of the Lehigh Valley Labor Council. "I don't know where (Romney) comes up with a lot of these things, let alone this. It sounds like a desperate candidate. And it sounds that way to a lot of folks."
Throughout the week, the Romney campaign attacks have largely been lobbed in Michigan, where, despite being Romney's hometown, he and Santorum are running even in polls. Michigan votes Feb. 28.
The campaign dispatched Romney surrogates to exploit Santorum's "unapologetic defense of big labor." On Friday, former New Hampshire Gov. John Sununu, on a conference call hosted by the Romney campaign, said Santorum "is not a conservative on labor issues."
The campaign blasted out a press release this week with the heading: "Rick Santorum: Big Labor's Favorite Senator" in large, bold, capital letters. In it, Romney campaign has highlighted a handful of votes Santorum cast that would be viewed as pro-labor. In 1996, the year Santorum received his highest rating from the AFL-CIO, 43 percent, he voted not to proceed on a National Right to Work bill that would have allowed workers not to pay union dues. The bill failed.
But Bloomingdale cited those instances as outliers in a long career. Santorum served in the U.S. House from 1991 to 1994 before ousting incumbent Democrat Harris Wofford from his U.S. Senate seat.
"Santorum, when he would see something, if it was going to fail, he would throw us a vote," Bloomingdale said. "The problem with Congress is there are so many votes, Romney could certainly pick out a few isolated incidents."
Santorum has said he sometimes voted for labor because Pennsylvania has many unions. State lawmakers have not pushed for right-to-work status, so he didn't support it in Washington. About 15 percent of the Pennsylvania workforce is unionized.
In the 2006 U.S. Senate race, labor spent $444,000 on Democrat Bob Casey versus $65,700 on Santorum, according to the Center for Responsive Politics' Opensecrets.org.
Building trades labor unions liked Santorum, former Gov. Ed Rendell said, because he actively brought federal money for projects home to Pennsylvania.
"He got us a lot of projects and helped the construction industry," Rendell said in an interview. "Did he have a good relationship with the municipalities? The SEIU? The teacher's union? Not so much …"
"I wouldn't call him on ideological issues on welfare or food stamps because I knew he and I disagreed," Rendell said, "but on issues about projects he did a terrific job. When the Romney camp says [Santorum] was for earmarks, he was for earmarks."
The Pennsylvania arm of the Building and Construction Trades Council overwhelmingly endorsed Casey over Santorum in the 2006 election, Frank Sirianni, president of the state chapter said. But the local Philadelphia chapter and two other smaller union groups backed Santorum, according to news reports, citing his support for funding that spurred construction jobs.
Sirianni had nothing bad to say about Santorum.
"He did a good job as a senator and brought a lot of economic development to the state. There's no crime in that," Sirianni said. "He created a lot of jobs, good paying jobs. What's wrong with using taxpayer dollars to improve people's environments?"
Santorum's proud earmarking during his congressional career is another point the Romney campaign hammers in an effort to weaken Santorum's support among Michigan's conservative voters.
Hogan Gidley, Santorum's spokesman, said Romney has been "grasping at straws the entire campaign."
"When he's challenged he just unleashes his well-funded attack machine and refuses to spend time or money talking about why he's good. He'd rather talk about why someone else is bad," Gidley said. "Most of the attacks he makes are false, misleading and just not true."

Pye studied at the Architectural Association (AA) and spent three years working as an architect, latterly specialising in wooden buildings. He served in the Royal Navy during the war and taught briefly at the AA. His main career was in teaching and he spent 26 years at the Royal College of Art (1948-1974), where for the last ten years he was Professor of Furniture Design. At the same time, he designed furniture for industrial production, made wooden bowls and boxes, and wrote books. The most of important of these was The Nature and Art of Workmanship (1968) which has had a long-lasting influence on the crafts.
David Pye's unusual fluted bowls and boxes were carved (not turned) on a lathe or 'fluting engine', which he had invented in 1949/50. He exhibited and sold his work continuously from 1949 to the early 1980s and in 1984-5 the Crafts Council arranged a touring retrospective exhibition. He was awarded the OBE in1985.

Get Screened
Screening can find cancer before symptoms develop. Screening increases chances of finding cancer at the earliest stage, when it can be treated most effectively. Consult with your doctor to make informed decisions.
- Screening for colorectal cancer: For individuals at average risk, beginning at age 50, screening with either flexible sigmoidoscopy every 5 years and yearly stool testing for hidden blood (FOBT or FIT), or colonoscopy every 10 years following a normal exam.
- Screening for breast cancer: Annual mammogram for women beginning at age 40. Clinical breast exam by your doctor once every 3 years for women younger than 40, and then annually.
- Screening for cervical cancer: Screening with Pap tests every 1-2 years between ages 21 and 29; women age 30 and older who have had 3 consecutive negative Pap tests may be screened every 3 years.
- Screening for prostate cancer: Men over age 50 should discuss benefits and limitations of screening with their doctor.
- Screening for oral cancer: Be sure your dental hygienist gives you a complete exam for oral cancer. Notify your dentist or doctor of any painful areas, bleeding, or lumps/lesions in the mouth.
- Screening for skin cancer: Regularly check your skin and be aware of changes. Make sure your annual checkup includes a full-body check for skin cancer.
Talk with your doctor about what is right for you.

Add disabled hunters seeking the right to use crossbows in the field to the list of victims of the federal government shutdown.
The Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission had to table its review of crossbow hunting bans in Oregon because a federal official whom commissioners wanted to hear from could not attend Friday's meeting in Newport.
The seven-member commission was set to hear a presentation from Dana Perez, the Americans with Disabilities Act coordinator for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services' Pacific Region based in Portland, says David Lane, a spokesman for the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife.
But the federal furlough meant no one from the USFWS could testify at the meeting, Lane says.
The discussion was tabled, and now the commission won't be able to revisit crossbow rules until Dec. 6 in Portland at the earliest.
The commission has no November meeting scheduled, Lane says. No formal agenda date has yet been set for the December meeting, he says.
The commission was set to discuss crossbows amid requests by disabled hunters to get the decades-old ban on crossbow use here lifted for hunting seasons.
As a jumping-off point, the commission was set to begin with where it left off when it last visited the issue in 2010 — allowing crossbows only for owners of an Oregon Disabilities Hunting and Fishing Permit.
Crossbows are commonly accepted weapons among archery hunters in most Midwest and Southern states, many with whitetail deer populations strong enough that hunters are encouraged to kill multiple deer annually.
In Oregon, hunters have been concerned that the increased power and range of crossbows over conventional bows could lead to higher hunter success rates that could lead to shorter seasons on its migratory mule and black-tailed deer populations. Big-game seasons in Oregon are set based in part on the numbers of deer that hunters are expected to kill.
Crossbows currently are legal only for shooting non-protected animals such as nutria and coyotes that are not part of big-game hunting structures.

Since 1999, Daniel Rouse's second grade class has been baking bread for the Whosoever Gospel Mission, a men's shelter in Germantown. Once a month, beginning in October and continuing through the end of the school year, the students and parent volunteers bake 16 loaves of bread for the men's dinner that evening. "A running total of 1,585 loaves and counting," says Rouse.
"The exercise of bread making for the Whosoever Gospel Mission is a real-life service project that ties in to the root of our social studies theme: basic human need," explains Rouse. "While we study the ancient ways of the Lenape and then the Colonial period of the Northeast, we [focus] on how human beings back then fed, clothed and housed themselves. Baking bread once a month for a local shelter in our neighborhood that is dedicated to helping homeless men get back on their feet seemed like the perfect opportunity to connect our modern lives and needs with the needs of others."
The class visits the Mission each fall to get a sense of the work that is done there.
Parent Richard Greenwald says, "This is my third child in Daniel's class, so I've seen it before and done it before and I think it's fantastic. I went to the Mission in the fall and it was so good to go there with my child. It's fun and it's a great learning tool."
The students are helping others, but they are also learning about the source of their own food.
"We felt that the children should know more about the origins of what they eat," says Rouse. "For many children, bread comes to the house in a plastic bag. To know how bread is made—how yeast converts sugar into carbon dioxide gas, thus making the dough rise—is knowledge that helps connect children to their environment and illustrates that what we eat comes from the earth."
While studying the Colonial period, the students hand mill wheat to make their own flour, which is then used in the bread recipe.
In the kitchen the students and parents chat and laugh as they knead the dough. The kids wiggle dough-covered fingers and giggle about the flour on each other's cheeks and noses.
"We make the dough and knead it before we put it in the oven," explains second-grader Chase Roman.
"It's fun and it's hard work." Classmate Olivia Perry eagerly adds, "But when it's done we get to eat a piece; and we can put honey on it!"
The parents enjoy connecting with other parents and students while they work beside their own child.
"It's the parents who make this happen," says Rouse. "At the beginning of every year the parents are a little surprised—'Daniel Rouse doesn't make bread! It's the parents and the students who do it!"
After a long morning of kneading with the students, parent volunteer Tracy Roman planned to deliver the bread to the Mission with her son, Chase. "I want to bring him with me," she says. "He has to see that part. It completes the whole circle for them. They see the people who they are helping and what it's all about. And it's a good opportunity to discuss these issues in ways that they can process—it's not over their heads. It's a great experience."
Second-grader Oliver Briger sums it up best: "It feels good to help people."

Our pediatric orthotics specialists use prefabricated or custom-made orthotics for children to provide support and increase mobility for kids who are born with or develop any number of musculoskeletal abnormalities or conditions.
The term "ortho" means to correct or straighten. When you think of pediatric orthotics, you may picture the simple devices worn in shoes to improve mobility and decrease pain. While shoe inserts are, indeed, orthotics, there are many more complex solutions available for a broad range of conditions affecting the bones, muscles and joints.
Pediatric orthotics help to improve children's gait (how they walk), as well as support the spine, upper extremities or lower extremities.
Some examples of pediatric orthotics include:
- ankle foot orthoses (also called AFOs)
- leg braces
- hand and wrist splints
- shoulder and elbow braces
- body braces

Corporate information services, many commentaries say, must be valueadded if the corporate information center is to thrive in today's environment of downsizing and outsourcing. Good advice, certainly, but what, exactly, does valueadded mean in a competitive corporation? Adding value to what? And for whom? This article considers the definition that the Ottawa Information Resource Center (IRC) for BellNorthern Research Ltd. (BNR) puts on this term and how the center is currently delivering valueadded services. BNR, which is owned 70 percent by Northern Telecom and 30 percent by Bell Canada, is a global leader in the design and development of advanced telecommunication systems and products.
Value-added Information Services
The BNR Information Resource Center has moved outside of its walls to develop a corporate view of valueadded information services. From this exterior perspective, information services must be seen by the corporation as supporting its competitiveness in the marketplace before such services are recognized as truly valueadded. This general statement can quickly be made concrete by defining who the corporation is and what makes it competitive.
In BNR's case, the corporation is essentially its governance its CEO and president, together with the senior vice presidents of the product development and support divisions. It is this body which guides the corporation and the development of its telecommunication systems and products, the success of which determines the corporation's ability to be strongly competitive. It is also this group which decides the fate of support groups such as the Information Resource Center. If the IRC is not perceived to be supporting the corporation's competitiveness at this level, then it can be very difficult for the vice president responsible for the IRC to defend its place in the organization. With this political reality firmly in mind, the following five attributes of valueadded services have been defined:
Valueadded services must
demonstrate information center intervention and expertise. That is, those receiving the service must recognize the value of the information provided and the expertise of the provider. It must be apparent that it is the IRC, and only the IRC, which has the capability of providing this assistance not some outside provider or consultant, not the computing department, not the MBAs in the marketing group;
confirm an understanding of the corporate product development cycle. To partner effectively with product development groups, the IRC must understand the business and the development cycle which leads from product inception to production;
directly support the delivery of product to customers. Competitiveness is determined by the quality of a product and its acceptance by customers IRC information services must support not only the technical aspects of product development, but also the market and competitive factors which lead to success;
be visible to senior product development management which, as noted above, is a critical survival factor for information centers. The good news is that services which meet points one through three are highly likely to be visible (and even used!) at the senior management level;
valueadded services must be supported by the information center's senior management. It helps to have support from its management, as the BNR IRC has enjoyed from the outset. But, for those less fortunate units, the good news is that services which meet the four points addressed above can generate their own support and can even become feathers in senior management's cap.
BNR Value-added Information Services
The context for valueadded service provision in BNR is the corporate development cycle which has five major phases separated by four project review sessions termed gates. The first phase is Initiation wherein a new business opportunity is identified and researched to build a business case. This business case is presented at a "Gate 0" review with senior managers from BNR and Northern Telecom, BNR's parent company. Should it be apparent to all that the proposed product represents a valid business opportunity, the gate is passed and resources are allocated to complete the second phase Definition. During this phase, the core product team creates a detailed product development plan which spells out the total resources and time required to develop the product. The completed plan is presented at a "Gate 1" review meeting and, if accepted, may result in a major corporate commitment to develop the product. This would begin the Development phase, which sees the actual building of the new product and its readying for verification trials with selected leadusers. Before such trials can take place, a "Gate 2" project review is held to confirm with senior management that the product is ready for leaduser testing. Passage of this Verification phase at a "Gate 3" review then leads to the final phase General Deployment.
In 1993, the BNR Information Resource Center launched its Strategic Program Support Service, a focused valueadded service program which targets major product development projects early in their development cycle. The experience gained through the successful support of six major BNR projects leads to the following operating guidelines and results:
1. At the outset, preferably during the Initiation phase, the IRC dedicates both professional and clerical resources to the project under a fully funded service agreement with the project's senior management.
2. The information specialist assigned to the project joins the development team and works with the senior manager and and those reporting to him or her to define an information profile for the project. This profile builds a complete information context for the emerging product design, covering technical, competitive and market information from internal and external sources. Typically, the information specialist scans incoming electronic and print information, filters it according to the project requirements and issues a weekly report to the entire development team. Critical technical or marketplace events are announced to the team immediately and there may be a need for focused information research in specific areas such as competitor analysis.
3. The Gate 0 and 1 reviews noted above represent critical corporate decision points. It is at these points that significant resources are committed to projects the success of which will have a great impact on the corporation. The complete information context developed under an IRC strategic program support service strongly contributes to a fully informed decisionmaking process.
4. The partnership developed between the IRC and its client project team allows the product information profile to change dynamically as the product moves through its development phases. During the Initiation phase, a primary need will likely be for the market and competitor information required to build a business case. During the Definition and Development phases, marketplace information will continue to be important, but the need for technical and international standards information will increase as developers work to actually build a global product. The Verification phase will likely need to ensure that field trials of competing products are closely tracked. And, with Gate 3, the need for such intensely focused BNR information services should wind down and allow for the reassignment of IRC resources to the next major product thrust.
5. Multinational organizations such as BellNorthern Research and Northern Telecom are now designing products for the global marketplace. Information services can no longer be geographically or corporately bounded if the extended team responsible for product success is to be adequately supported. This means that a Strategic Program Support Service set up by the BNR Information Center serves not only the BNR R&D team responsible for new product development, but also the Northern Telecom project team and all NT individuals with major product marketing and sales responsibilities. Electronic access and delivery channels ensure global information support for emerging global products.
Value-added Services - Getting Started
The shift to valueadded information services has been an extremely positive move for the BNR Information Resource Center in Ottawa, but this does not mean that it has been an easy shift or that there have been no difficulties. The first challenge was to find a pilot project which would act as a proof of concept for this genre of service. Fortunately, at the time of our search, a new project was just getting underway and its senior manager was a person who was well aware of the value of the IRC and its information services. This unfunded trial provided a true opportunity for both parties the IRC learned what it was like to be part of a product development team and the team experienced the benefits of a dedicated information service that was proactively responsive to its needs.
A formal user survey of the yearone trial showed a strong customer pull for the service plus a 31 return on investment, based only on time saved in information gathering by the group. While the survey returns were of interest to the project's senior manager, his ready agreement to fund ongoing service provision was based almost entirely on his strong perception of the value that the service provided to him and his group.
The move from a trial service to the fulltime provision of valueadded services represented a true paradigm shift in IRC operation. Increased headcount is not an option in today's tight corporate environment; staff and funds must be reallocated from existing general services to valueadded services. This requires decisions regarding which services the IRC will supply and which will be reduced or discontinued not always an easy exercise or one that is comfortable, or even possible, for all existing staff. Delays in making such decisions, however, increase the risk of IRC downsizing which, if it happens, allows for even less service flexibility.
Now is the time for corporate information centers to make the move toward valueadded services and away from general commodity-type services. It is the right decision because of the increased impact valueadded services can have on the corporation's competitiveness. And it is the right decision because it provides a true growth path into the future for corporate information centers.

8 Consequenes To Encourage Discipline In Young Children
Some mothers find it difficult to discipline, because they do not want to be "harsh" or "unkind" to their children. Enforcing boundaries teaches submissiveness. Setting rules trains a child to conform, avoiding the constant need to punish a child for disobedience. Even in the immediate present, the predictability of structured, consistent discipline makes a child feel secure and safe.
Other mothers find it challenging to discipline because they don't know how. Let us now focus on consequences. Consequences are an excellent deterrent, which teaches children to obey in the long run. In this column, we will highlight various other options, mostly tailored for younger children, which encourage discipline.
1. Pre-planning: You know the quote, "If you fail to plan, you plan to fail." How about thinking of a new twist; plan the failures? Every family has several tough spots, which are a constant challenge. As a mother, you know what they are. If for the past five months, you've been yanking your seven-year-old out of bed, so that he can make the bus, why do you feel flustered and unprepared every morning? Designate a quiet moment to plan for those inevitable crises and design a course of action. After all, it's always easier to think when you're not under pressure and you're not emotionally involved-yet! Once you've hit on a plan, you will be so much more confident and relaxed. Often, your children will intuitively sense your confidence and therefore, comply more readily.
2. Authoritarian Commanding: When you ask your child to do something, demand it with confidence. You are the parent. You are the authority. You have the final say in your house. A child can tell if his mother is wishy-washy, uncertain or unconfident; he will cash in on that weakness to wheedle his way out.
3. When-Then: A very smart way to get children to comply is by using "When-Then." For example, "When you finish dinner, then you can have dessert," or "when you brush your teeth, then you can read your book." Thereby, you stress the anticipated behavior, and you strengthen the child's motive to listen. Just remember to stick to the deal!
4. The Broken Record: The theory behind The Broken Record is that persistence pays off. If your child ignores you, repeat your words in an emphatic, firm manner. Do not raise your voice or express emotion. Just repeat your words…until your child gets the message. For example: Now it's time to do your homework…Homework time is now…I hear what you're saying, but homework time is now…
5. Forced Compliance: Forced compliance works for little ones. When they are not listening, you can "force" them to do the proper action, and then, thank them for it. For example, cup your hand over your four-year-old's and forcibly have him pass you the saltshaker. Then, say thank you. Or, you put your hand on your seven-year-old's shoulder and walk him into his bedroom…
6. Forced Resistance: If your little one is misbehaving or hurting others, you can forcibly put him on your lap and hold him tightly. While he squirms, tell him, "As soon as you calm down, I will let you go. As soon as you are in control, you can continue playing…" This relaxes the child and forces him to lose his previous momentum.
7. Distraction: If you would like your child to stop a negative behavior and want to avoid conflict, you can distract him or re-focus his behavior in a positive way. This usually works-and is a wonderful tactic to use at times that it is unfeasible or undesirable to use other disciplining tactics. For example, your children are fighting. Take out a game and divert their attention.
8. Training Camp: For an infrequent, creative disciplining alternative when a child does not conform to one of your house's systems, you can tell the child that you'll be setting up a "Training Camp," so that the child can practice behaving. Make sure to do it at a time that is unpleasant for your child to be busy "training how to eat nicely" or "sit at dinner," such as when he wants to go play or enjoy his free time. Have your child go through the steps of the proper behavior until he does it satisfactorily. If your daughter is stretching her bedtime preparations too long, have her get into her pajamas on one Sunday afternoon and practice the whole procedure from beginning to end, including brushing her teeth, until she does it quickly enough. Usually, the child does not want to attend this "Training Camp" more than once.

Sara really needed to go to the doctor for her check-up... and to her dentist, chiropractor, and optometrist. All four had been persistently reminding her that she was overdue for check-ups. But she'd been travelling a lot for work and just hadn't had the time to make her appointments. So, in a fit of reckless abandon, she scheduled all FOUR of them for the same day ¢ next Tuesday, the one day she was home between two business trips. Getting four appointments in the same day was a challenge but fortunately they were all in the same medical center so she didnÆt have to allow for travel time. Determine the time of each appointment (times were 9:00 am, 11:30 am, 1:00 pm, and 3:30 pm), the type of doctor she was seeing, how long each appointment was scheduled for (1/2 hour or 1 hour), and each doctorÆs name.
1. Sara's one-hour appointments were scheduled with Dr. Borne and the dentist.
2. Her appointment with Dr. Swan was scheduled for half an hour.
3. Dr. Bigelow was the physician.
4. The appointment with her optometrist was scheduled to start on the half hour.
5. She saw her chiropractor before Dr. Swan but after her appointment with Dr. Mann.
6. Her appointment with Dr. Mann wasn't at 9:00 am.

Former Rapid City Teacher Pleads Not Guilty to Sex Crime
RAPID CITY, S.D. (AP) - A former South Dakota high school teacher accused of having a sexual relationship with one of his students has pleaded not guilty to charges of rape and sexual contact with a child under 16.
A conviction on either charge could send 26-year-old Kyle Keegan to prison for up to 15 years.
The Rapid City Journal reports that Keegan taught social studies and was a guidance counselor in New Underwood. He's accused of having sex with a 15-year-old female student in October.

SneakerKing needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 269 designs submitted by 66 freelance designers.
We are starting out with a chain of stores in South Beach, FL. With the eventual growth nationwide. We want the logo to have a sexy / hip hop feel while combining the movie theme and shoe business. Our shoes are exclusive sneakers from Nike, Lacoste, Addidas etc.
Our 'sneakerhead' target audience ranges from high school kids to 35 year olds. A lot of celebrity athletes and rappers etc use will be frequenting the store which is why the hip hop tone is very important.
We want the designers to incorporate into the A.J.'s RAREFOOTAGE something that combines the store's business of selling shoes and the movie theme concept (we will be having actual movie theatre seats in the store, the red carpet etc to create the atmosphere to its fullest). You are free to be as creative (can throw a vintage pinup girl in there or whatever the artist chooses) as you want but please make it sexy and fresh.

|Old Young Lesbian Love
Short review: It's that sort of romance that may not be one you're expecting, but these babes are going to make sure it will happen .because they want it, and we all know how determined a woman can be when she sets her mind to it. Mature women, younger ladies, full nudity, fucking machines, toys, high heels, stockings, short skirts, tongues flicking on clits and mixing with other tongues, it's all here.
Content Amount: The count is a bit on the lower side, but in their defense, the site isn't that old however, to be honest in my judgment, I must say, there could be more, recently they've been showing more attention to freshness. A huge list of bonus sites included.

Differences in Lava Lamp Activity
I have two lava lamps that rest in one of the window sils in my classroom. It is both a great distractor to the students and a source of fascination/curiosity to my students. It also helps that my students have to learn the concept of density. One of my lava lamps always seems lethargic and to be frank quite a dissapointment for viewing. I had been thinking that maybe it's a really good observation that might lead to a science inquiry for my students. I did some video and time lapse filming which may result in an inquiry for my students to do. Take a look at the video and see if it's a good idea.

Organic candy bars. Fair-trade shrimp. Mushrooms grown in coffee grounds. These are just a few of the culinary concepts that Haas alumni have been cooking up recently to satisfy--and capitalize--on our nation's seemingly endless appetite for innovation in the food world. Here is just a small taste of the enterprising ideas they are bringing to fruition.
A School Lunch Revolution
At Revolution Foods, school lunch means homemade chicken enchiladas, all-natural spaghetti and meatballs, and never-fried chicken wings--all with sides of fresh fruit and vegetables. Revolution Foods ferries 120,000 healthy meals a day to primarily low-income school kids in 30 cities.
"We have always been focused on students who haven't had access to healthy foods," says CEO Kristin Richmond, MBA 06, who co-founded the Oakland, Calif., company with Kirsten Tobey, also MBA 06.
Rev Food's meals meet federal subsidized lunch guidelines and the company's own standards for all natural, fresh ingredients, no corn syrup, no additives or preservatives, and no trans fats. Fruit and other products are sourced locally when possible. "The kids just love the fruits," Richmond says. "Peaches, nectarines, and kiwis have been a big hit."
Food Lit
For foodies who not only like to cook but also read about the culinary world, Leigh Flores, BCEMBA 11, has co-founded a new digital publication called spenser.
Flores helped launch the bimonthly in November after watching the success of similar digital publications in the home and interior design arena.
"Spenser," a Middle English word, refers to the person charged with sourcing food and provisions in a royal or noble household. The idea, explains Flores, is to highlight the food producers and distillers seeking out the best and most unique ingredients and methods in order to help readers "personalize food and drink"--the magazine's tagline
Pearls of Wisdom
Andrew Chau, MBA 11, credits author Malcolm Gladwell's 10,000-Hour Rule with leading him and partner Bin Chen to their bubble tea venture. The pair boiled down their one area in which they had 10,000 hours of expertise to the Taiwanese beverage enhanced by tapioca balls or "pearls." Both had consumed it. In quantity.
They saw an opportunity to enhance the bubble tea experience with careful sourcing of premium ingredients. Their gut instinct proved right: Pop-up appearances and a Boba Guys storefront in San Francisco's Mission District have been warmly received.
Chau estimates that the shop serves 70 percent of its tea to non-Asian clientele and posits that continued cross-cultural influences--or mashup--are the future of food. One indicator: Boba Guys' homemade syrup mixed with their own version of horchata, the popular Latin American rice drink. Says Chau: "It's been our most requested drink by far."
Sharing His Bread and Butter
Semifreddi's is all about the simplicity of flour, water, and yeast. The bread is never sliced or stuffed in a plastic bag. Transfats and preservatives are a no-no. The whole grain, non-genetically modified flour is grown in Idaho and Montana.
"We just continue to do the basics," says Tom Frainier, BS 79, MBA 81, CEO of Semifreddi's Handcrafted Bread & Pastries, who runs the bakery and is partners with his sister Barbara and brother-in-law Michael, also Berkeley grads. "We believe that the company is only as good as its last baguette." But that claim understates Semifreddi's mission, which includes a commitment to the community and environment. Green thinking drove every decision in the company's 2009 move to a 33,000-sq.- ft. Alameda, Calif., facility, which bakes more than 200,000 loaves of bread and pastries each week. The bakery boasts substantial energy savings, recycles 95 percent of its waste, and donates fresh bread and pastry to community organizations every day. Frainier says, "We feel that because we've been successful, it's our obligation to give back."
A Natural Move for Safeway
Pleasanton, Calif.-based Safeway launched its Open Nature natural food line in January 2011 because that's where the market growth is. Between 2009 and 2010, natural and organic food sales rocketed 9 percent to nearly $39 billion, according to market researcher Packaged Facts. Conventional grocery sales lagged, growing less than 2 percent year over year.
But because the FDA doesn't regulate the definition of natural, "the term's inclusion on food packaging has left consumers skeptical of the claim," says Mei-Mei Stark, MBA 96, director of innovation for Safeway Consumer Brands. That's why Safeway set specific standards for Open Nature, explains Stark, who helped create the line. Among Safeway's standards: All Open Nature food comes from natural sources, with no artificial ingredients added, and all dairy products are artificial growth- hormone-free.
The Open Nature line covers more than 30 categories, including meats, cereal, ice cream, frozen pizza, and peanut butter. More natural products are on tap for 2012.
From Desk to Dirt
In between slow roasting Roma tomatoes with Rocambole garlic for an omelet or writing a cookbook, evening-and-weekend student Aaron French, MBA 12, has been stewing over the health of our economy.
French is chef of The Sunny Side Cafe, an acclaimed breakfast and lunch spot with two locations near Cal, and author of The Bay Area Homegrown Cookbook. His latest endeavor: developing a business plan that harnesses the benefits of local and urban food production for workplace wellness programs.
"Organizations are looking for ways to encourage their members to embrace healthy eating and active lifestyles," he says, "and urban farms need additional revenue streams." French envisions urban farms on corporate campuses, with employees working alongside farmers, learning about healthy cooking and eating, and sharing in the harvest.
French looks forward to blending his MBA knowledge with his melange of skills to make a difference in food production and consumption. After all, he says, "Food forms the most intimate connection that we have to our environment."
Back to the Roots
Nikhil Arora and Alejandro Velez, both BS 09, tossed aside job offers in investment banking and consulting for...mushrooms. The pair created their company, Back to the Roots, after hearing Haas Lecturer Alan Ross speak on the potential to grow gourmet mushrooms on recycled coffee grounds, and trying the technique in the kitchen closet of Velez's fraternity house.
By the end of last year, the company had used 1 million pounds of coffee grounds, primarily from Peet's, for its $19.95 home mushroom growing kits, which have been featured in the New York Times, Sunset Magazine, and Oprah. In the spring, the company moved to a 10,000-sq.-ft. Oakland warehouse.
Arora believes the company's success reflects consumers' growing desire to know about their food's origins. "It ties to our vision for our company. We didn't want to name it XYZ Mushroom Farm," he explains. "It's more than just coffee and mushrooms. It's really becoming that brand that connects people again with their food."
Expanding the Fair Trade
Frontier Paul Rice, MBA 96, launched Fair Trade USA (formerly TransFair USA) in 1998 as a market-based approach to alleviating global poverty. Thirteen years later, consumers are more mindful than ever about their purchases and U.S. retail sales of Fair Trade goods have reached an estimated $1.5 billion. Now Rice is looking to expand Fair Trade certification into other commodities and onto larger farms.
Fair Trade USA audits and certifies that farmers and companies are complying with rigorous standards for ethical sourcing and sustainability. This results in direct benefits to farmers and supports sustainable agriculture.
Over the next two years, Fair Trade USA plans to expand from staples like coffee and chocolate to fruits, vegetables, and even apparel. And instead of limiting the Fair Trade designation to smaller farms and co-ops, Rice has launched a Fair Trade for All campaign to improve wages and conditions for farm workers on larger estates.
"The $3-a-day farm workers on big Latin American estates are the poorest of the poor," Rice explains. "Our market approach is a path out of poverty for these workers and their families that avoids creating dependency on foreign aid. For me, it's all about empowerment."
I can't believe it's gluten free!
In 2002, Dan Regan, BS 95, and his wife, Allison, learned Allison had celiac disease, an increasingly common immune system reaction to the protein in wheat and other grains. Disgusted that every gluten-free dessert she tried tasted like cardboard, Allison went on a mission: to make a better gluten-free flour.
Mission accomplished, the couple opened the gluten- free Sweet Cake Bake Shop in Kaysville, Utah, in 2009. Sweet Cake churns out red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese frosting, chocolate whoopie pies, caramel bars, sticky toffee pudding cakes, and cinnamon raisin bread. "Now half of our customers aren't gluten-free. They don't even realize that it's gluten-free," Dan Regan says.
The U.S. gluten-free food and beverage market has risen 30 percent a year between 2006 and 2010 and is expected to expand from $2.6 billion in 2010 to $5 billion by 2015, according to market research firm Packaged Facts. Similarly, Sweet Cake's sales have doubled year over year, and the Regans plan to open a second Sweet Cake shop in Salt Lake City.
Trick or Treat, Organic Please!
Scott Kucirek, BS 88 (Engineering), MBA 99, reinvented himself as Piedmont, California's Willy Wonka for a simple reason: He wanted a better candy bar.
"At Halloween my kids brought in sacks of horrible candy bars," says the father of two, who previously co-founded ZipRealty. "They taste good, but they're really not the best for you."
So Kucirek co-founded OCHO with Denis Ring, the creator of the Whole Foods 365 food line, making all organic bars from simple recipes. (OCHO stands for organic chocolate.) The bars have just five or so ingredients and no preservatives or additives. They come in four varieties: caramel and nut; coconut (most popular); mocha; and peanut butter (Kucirek's favorite).
Kucirek hopes to expand OCHO, now stocked in every Northern California Whole Foods store, throughout the state and lower the $1.99 price to get better candy in the hands of as many kids as possible. "Do we believe at some point these bars can compete with non-organic candy bars at Safeway and Costco and gas stations? Yes," Kucirek says. "We've always figured that if people had a choice, and the price is close, they'd choose ours."

Brought this from Lowes for $9 in February 2012.
Brought this as I dont have one. Im sort of developing an eye for palms that I dont have or are a little rarer to find. home Depot has an endless supply of Queen and Foxtails, but not much else.
Im surprised its still there. Thats got to be a good sign. Although im sure it shouldn't be a quarter the size that it was when I brought it.
Doesnt like where it is. I think its a bit hot and dry. Maybe once it establishes itself, but from experience it looks like it will probably die. When I got here in November it was pretty poorly, and all I did was water it and its a bit greener, so its not so much the hot position but the lack of rain. Essentially it hasnt rained for over a month.
Still alive. I think it has gone through a bit of a drought and is looking a bit worse for wear, but its still alive and hopefully working on its roots.
Just planted this.

Easter 2011- Halls Gap, The Grampians Victoria.
We headed up to The Grampians region of Victoria for our Easter break. Not before calling in to visit my Pa in the Hospice in Bendigo. It was a short and loving visit that we had with Pa. He is just so tired now and he expressed that he just wants to be with his Mum now, time to go. The main thing I am so happy about is that he is pain free. Thank goodness for the excellent nursing care there in the Hospice. Such a sad time for everyone.
We arrived at Halls Gap on Wednesday. It was raining off and on throughout the first two days of our stay. It did not deter us having fun! We sat by the fire with our friends. we laughed and told jokes and the boys played guitar a little bit too. The kids found so many friends to play with. The kangaroos and the kookaburras were within arms reach, and the view of the mountains never cease to amaze us.
On Easter Sunday the kids woke to some chocolate eggs. They also got some money to spend at the shops. Nicholas bought two Phantom Comic Books, the girls bought themselves some beautiful colourful sun catchers, and Tom bought himself a chocolate milk drink (haha, teenagers love their milk right?)
We took some yabbie nets with us and placed them inside a small body of water.. each morning we went back there were more in the trap. it intrigued the kids, and especially our neighbour's little girl, she learnt a new word "Yabbie" (said like "dabbie").
(heading Off up a track)
We went four wheel driving through a lovely track with two other vehicle loads of people. We took out time and soaked up the beautiful nature. I took a few photos, as you can see there are wild flowers up there even now, spectacular in real life.
(One example of the damage the rains in January caused to one track in The Grampians)
Now we are home and tired, and I have completed three loads of washing thus far. All is well that ends well.

Oh how lovely Cazzie, what a great Easter you all had. Those kids of yours are going to have such great memories of their childhoods.
Sorry about your Pa, sounds like it won't be long now. Thoughts are with you and your family.

Looks like a great fun. Treasure these times while they are still young.

text: Hello. Is it possible to set (or just change) the password of an existing user on the command line? I haven't found a reference to this. Reason: I want to change the password for a lot of users and it would be a real pain to do this by the web interface. (As far as i found, the passwords are stored encrypted within the database, so it seems to be no option to change the settings on mysql level...) Hints are welcome ;-). Thanks, Sebastian

Beer & Glassware: Not Just Any Beer, Any Glass – Part 1
One of my writers in crime here at Beer Blotter, Jess R., quite recently published a very well crafted article about glassware. It reminded us all of the overwhelming importance of presenting beer in its proper vessel.
In turn, we were reminded of the the one place in the world where bartenders actually feel the need to offer a heartfelt apology for momentarily being out of the proper glass for the beer ordered: where else but Belgium. Thoughts of Belgium take us down never ending roads of memory that we will most definitely not get into right now.
But for us three blotterers, a chance to get together, drink beer, and reminisce about our mighty Euro trip will never go unrealized. In the midst of that exciting undertaking, we figured why not clear out a small corner of the cellar that drastically needed to be cleared, all the while bringing it full circle with just the topic that spawned the meeting, glassware.
This night was epic. I guess we had a lot more cellar space to open up than we thought. Time will not allow me to copy all of my notes on all of the beer-glass pairings of the night in one sitting, so here I present part 1.
Pilsner Glass – Victory Brewing Summer Love Ale
Though dubbed an ale right there in the name, this was most likely brewed with California Common yeast, which would indeed make it an ale but would attribute many characteristics of a lager. Thus, the pairing with the pils glass, which allowed the head to stay compact and lively in the decreased circumference, where it would normally dwindle and lay dormant in short time. This beer was specially made for Philly Tourism, who recently contacted us due to Timperial's roots there.
We took our popular With Love, Philadelphia XOXO tourism initiative from campaign to consumer experience by partnering with Victory Brewing Company to create Summer Love Ale. Brewed locally in Chester County, PA with pale malts, German hops and water from the Brandywine River, the golden brew began flowing at bars throughout the Philadelphia region during the annual Philly Beer Week in June.
Check out this quote from Victory Brewer Bill Covaleski:
Summer Love starts with an all German malt base upon which we overlaid crisp German hops for that familiar, import quality that some many beer drinkers find attractive and comfortable, then we put bright, lemony Citra hops, grown here in the US, into the mix for an exciting aroma to start and refreshing and enduring finish. Kinda like Philly. Mostly familiar but always surprising!
My notes of the beer read as follows: This pours, not surprisingly, light in color, hazy yellow with a white head of very large bubbles. The odor is very impressive in it's hoppiness; floral and grassy. This is very easy drinking with excellent sweetness coming from mild caramel notes. From a light(er) beer perspective, this is really well balanced with a striking lemony, citrus hop profile. I could drink this for days!
Tulip Glass – Victory Brewing Saison Du Buff
This beer was originally released under Stone Brewing's liscense as part of their collaboration series. Dogfish Head, Stone and Victory teamed up to create this one, but each brewery is now releasing it under their own license and with their own distinctive artwork.
I found this beer to be hazy golden in color with intense carbonation. To call it spicy and floral would be an understatement. Herbal to the nth degree. Some possible herbs at play are chamomile, ginger, coriander, citrus peel, rosemary, sage… It's a cornucopia.
The head quickly subsided to nothing at all, which I found to be very odd with respect to the lively carbonation. Perhaps oils from the herbs had negative effects on the retention?
The aftertaste seemed to linger for days, and I also found it to be surprising that the finish was not super dry, which seems to be commonplace with saisons in general. Damn good beer!
Goblet – The Bruery Trade Winds Tripel
This is seriously no ordinary beer for no ordinary glass. For branding consistency sake, I turned the glass around to the non-logo side for the picture (left) but just take my word for it that it's a Westvleteren glass. We got that shit straight from In De Vrede in West Flanders! And the beer…well, it's made by The Bruery…'nuff said!
This puppy weighs in at 8.1% and is brewed with rice and Thai basil. It pours a soft amber hue with above average carbonation and pretty poor clarity. Arising on the pour, a luscious white head that sticks around. In the nose, that striking candy sweetness that accompanies nearly all true Belgian tripels. There is also a malty sweetness that lends credibility to the brewer's art.
The basil manifested itself into a simple, neutral spicy characteristic, and I also found there to be a very pronounced green apple quality. The lacing on the glass is not to be scoffed at and all that sweetness lends to a fantastically smooth mouthfeel.
The aftertaste is mesmerizing as well. Booze and grains come out as it warms, but I don't find either to be negative here.
Flute – Ommegang Zuur
This 6% Flemish Sour Ale was brewed in collaboration with the much heralded Belgian sour brewer Liefman's. It fills the glass with a brownish ruby red color and possess respectable clarity.
Initially, as it makes contact with the glass, the carbonation is wild and it's very difficult to pour anything but a glass full of foam. As quickly as the suds rise up they dissipate to not but a trace. I find dark fruit in the scent, mostly the cherries that it was brewed with, and a good dose of funky, sour tartness, spot on for the style.
On the tongue, it's prickly with the carbonation and tensing with tartness. Puckering yes, but I've soireed with many Flemish ales with much more zing. There is a pleasant bread-like maltiness in behind all the pizazz, but the overall body and intensity is underwhelming in the end.
Many respects for Ommegang for taking a swing at this exciting style, and though it's very drinkable, it's no Rodenbach.

Motorhead's Lemmy Kilmister Discusses Touring With Megadeth + Black Sabbath's Reunion
The 2012 Gigantour is well under way with a lineup of Megadeth, Motorhead, Lacuna Coil and Volbeat. Motorhead, out in support of their latest studio album 'The World Is Yours,' released in late 2010 still put on one of the loudest shows in the world and in a recent interview with SFWeekly, frontman Lemmy Kilmister checked in to talk about the tour and his thoughts on the Black Sabbath reunion.
When asked about touring with Megadeth, whose Dave Mustaine and David Ellefson are not shy about talking about their Christian beliefs, Kilmister offered up a few gems, saying, "Well, the great thing about my philosophy is live and let live, you know?" He continued to explain the details of his personal philosophy, stating, "I don't mind if you want to worship the Great Poobah in the sky, as long as you don't expect me to do it, too. And nobody has so far preached to me on this tour, so it's alright."
When asked if he tried to stay clear of certain subjects with Megadeth (including religion), Kilmister admitted that he doesn't really see Megadeth too often on the tour, "We hardly ever see Megadeth anyway. They come late and we leave early after we finish to beat the traffic out of there. So we don't see much of them. I've stayed a couple of times to watch their show, but that's about all."
It seems that everyone in the rock world has an opinion about the much troubled Black Sabbath reunion (drummer Bill Ward is currently out of the fold) and Kilmister kept his opinion short and sweet, saying only, "Well you can't do a reunion without the originals, can you?" Good question Lemmy, good question!
Gigantour continues through February before Lemmy and Motorhead head off to Europe for some festival dates.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
"A thought for Christmas... If Jesus and mother Mary were alive today, they would, as Jews without security, probably end up being lynched in Bethlehem by hostile Palestinians. Just a thought..."
That was the message posted by an Israeli official to the Facebook page of the Israeli embassy in Ireland this week. It took only a matter of minutes for the post to raise such an outcry that the embassy was forced to delete it and issue an apology.
It is arguable if such an idea is correct or not, but the fact is that many people in Europe (and maybe the US) have forgotten the Jewish background of Jesus and his earthly family.
Everywhere you go in Europe, you are constantly confronted with two Jews - Jesus hanging on a cross and Mary with a baby in her arms. In restaurants, bars, and of course churches, there they are. And yet, a majority of Europeans no longer remembers that these two iconic figures are part of the Jewish people.
A year ago when Palestinians put on a provocative performance depicting Joseph, Mary and Jesus in front of an Israeli checkpoint near Bethlehem, nobody made a fuss about that. But the truth is that the family of Jesus is not a Palestinian family. They are a Jewish family.

this team has shown some heart.
Hi NBA / David Stern ----> Can you be any more obvious with your biased refs?
Biedrins gets elbowed in the face, Blake Griffin performs his academy award skills, Biedrins called for the foul.
I love me some Blake Griffin highlight dunks, but wow that guy is a pansy with
his acting jobs. And he knows he can get away with it because the refs are on his nuts.

Guybrush wrote:So far McGuire is having 8 rebounds and 5 assists...definitely good all-around player. If he could improve his scoring, he would be better than Iggy perhaps.
Definitely gotta resign McGuire next year. Gritty player and love having him on the team.
I think you can see in this game how more fluid this team is without Lee. Lee is a ball hog, he slows it down, plays iso a lot, and everyone know he's gonna try the shot, even if he's not in a good position. I love this team basketball, with no one player that "HAS" to have the ball when it's a close game. It's like "who's open, he shoots"...plain and simple.
Idk why Mark Jackson has to resort to that hack-a-Blake. 1) they were only down 3 so need to resort to that. that should be a last resort if regular D isn't working 2) it doesn't give confidence to the W's defense that they can get a stop. so it's kind've an insult to them 3) it rarely works and messes up the W's rhythm. I don't think David Lee's a ballhog by any stretch... he can create for others, he's just been one of the best options and gets us some points in the paint instead of jumpers. he was more passive last year, I like that he's being more assertive / aggressive this year. I do think, at least this game, they are able to play faster and push the tempo, which gets some easy buckets.
OK, ballhog might have been a strong word, but he definitely slows down the pace of the game, and Warriors still thrive in up-tempo style of game. When they just run up and down the court...and I might admit that I love that kind of game.
yeah it is fun to watch. no reason the team can't do a little of both. I look forward to next year though with our frontcourt bruisin people. No more Blake Griffin thinking it's a free lane to do what he wants... introduce him to Bogut

Nate got his 5k career point during this game. In a game like this where Jenkins was dominated by CP3, Robinson showed his value where he could get in the lane and score, as well as dish out assists. He is capable of playing solid D, when he doesn't gamble, and he brings lots of energy. If we brought him back he would defeniately have an impact on games as a backup PG next season. And I wouldn't be as worried about Curry's ankle.

There are many benefits to schema-less NoSQL datastores, but there are always trade-offs. The primary gift the NoSQL movement has given us is the variety of options we now have for data persistence. With NoSQL we no longer must try to shoehorn everything into a relational model. Now the challenge is in deciding which persistence model fits best with each domain in a system and then combining those models in a cohesive way. The general term to describe this is Polyglot Persistence and there are many ways to accomplish it. Lets walk through how you can combine a regular SQL model with a key-value NoSQL model using Java, Spring, Hibernate, and PostgreSQL.
This article covers the pieces of a simple web application which uses regular SQL and PostgreSQL's hstore for key value pairs. This method is a mix of NoSQL inside SQL. One benefit of this approach is that the same datastore can be used for both the SQL and the NoSQL data.
In this example the server technologies will be Java, Spring, and Hibernate. (The same thing can also be done with Rails, Django, and many other technologies.) To add Hibernate support for
hstore I found a fantastic blog about "Storing sets of key/value pairs in a single db column with Hibernate using PostgreSQL hstore type". I won't go through that code here but you can find everything in the GitHub repo for my demo project.
This demo app uses Maven to define the dependencies. Embedded Jetty is started via a plain 'ole Java application that sets up Spring MVC. Spring is configured via Java Config for the main stuff, the web stuff, and the database stuff.
The client technologies will be jQuery and Bootstrap and there is a strict seperation between the client and server via RESTful JSON services. The whole client-side is in a plain 'ole HTML file. Via jQuery / Ajax the client communicates to JSON services exposed via a Spring MVC Controller.
Ok. Now onto the NoSQL inside SQL stuff. This application stores "Contacts" that have a name but also can have many "Contact Methods" (e.g. phone numbers and email addresses). The "Contact Methods" are a good use of a schema-less, key-value pair column because it avoids the cumbersome alternatives: putting that information into a separate table or trying to create a model object that has all of the possible "Contact Methods". So lets take a look at the simple Contact Entity:
package com.jamesward.model; import net.backtothefront.HstoreUserType; import org.hibernate.annotations.Type; import org.hibernate.annotations.TypeDef; import javax.persistence.Column; import javax.persistence.Entity; import javax.persistence.GeneratedValue; import javax.persistence.Id; import java.util.HashMap; import java.util.Map; @Entity @TypeDef(name = "hstore", typeClass = HstoreUserType.class) public class Contact { @Id @GeneratedValue public Integer id; @Column(nullable = false) public String name; @Type(type = "hstore") @Column(columnDefinition = "hstore") public Map<String, String> contactMethods = new HashMap<String, String>(); }
If you are familiar with Hibernate / JPA then most of this should look pretty familiar to you. The new / interesting stuff is the
contactMethods property. It is a
Map<String, String> and it uses PostgreSQL's
hstore datatype. In order for that to work, the type has to be defined and the
columnDefinition set. Thanks again to Jakub Głuszecki for putting together the HstoreHelper and HstoreUserType that make this possible.
Now the rest is simple because it's just plain Hibernate / JPA. Here is the ContactService that does the basic query and updates:
package com.jamesward.service; import com.jamesward.model.Contact; import org.springframework.stereotype.Service; import org.springframework.transaction.annotation.Transactional; import javax.persistence.EntityManager; import javax.persistence.PersistenceContext; import javax.persistence.criteria.CriteriaQuery; import java.util.List; @Service @Transactional public class ContactServiceImpl implements ContactService { @PersistenceContext EntityManager em; @Override public void addContact(Contact contact) { em.persist(contact); } @Override public List<Contact> getAllContacts() { CriteriaQuery<Contact> c = em.getCriteriaBuilder().createQuery(Contact.class); c.from(Contact.class); return em.createQuery(c).getResultList(); } public Contact getContact(Integer id) { return em.find(Contact.class, id); } @Override public void addContactMethod(Integer contactId, String name, String value) { Contact contact = getContact(contactId); contact.contactMethods.put(name, value); } }
Now that you understand how it all works, check out a live demo on Heroku.
If you want to run this app locally or on Heroku, then first you need to grab the source code and continue working inside the newly created
spring_hibernate_hstore_demo directory:
$ git clone https://github.com/jamesward/spring_hibernate_hstore_demo.git $ cd spring_hibernate_hstore_demo
To run locally:
- Setup your PostgreSQL database to support hstore by opening a
psqlconnection to it:
$ psql -U username -W -h localhost database
- Then enable hstore:
=> create extension hstore; => \q
- Build the app (depends on having Maven installed):
$ mvn package
- Set the
DATABASE_URLenvironment variable to point to your PostgreSQL server:
$ export DATABASE_URL=postgres://username:password@localhost/databasename
- Start the app:
$ java -cp target/classes:target/dependency/* com.jamesward.Webapp
- Try it out
Cool! Now you can run it on the cloud with Heroku. Here is what you need to do:
- Install the Heroku Toolbelt
- Login to Heroku:
$ heroku login
- Create a new app:
$ heroku create
- Add Heroku Postgres:
$ heroku addons:add heroku-postgresql:dev
- Tell Heroku to set the
DATABASE_URLenvironment variable based on the database that was just added (replace
YOUR_HEROKU_POSTGRESQL_COLOR_URLwith your own):
$ heroku pg:promote YOUR_HEROKU_POSTGRESQL_COLOR_URL
- Open a
psqlconnection to the database:
$ heroku pg:psql
- Enable
hstoresupport in your database:
=> create extension hstore; => \q
- Deploy the app:
$ git push heroku master
- View the app on the cloud:
$ heroku open
Fantastic! Let me know if you have any questions.

The many joints between the bones of the foot allow it to change shape to accommodate different and uneven surfaces. The skeleton of the foot consists of: the seven tarsal bones, including the heel bone (calcaneum) and the talus which articulates with the leg bones at the ankle joint; beyond these, the five metatarsals and, in the toes, the phalanges. There are layers of small muscles in the sole, and tendons from the lower leg traverse the ankle to reach their various insertions in the sole and on the dorsum (upper part) of the foot. Figure 1.

Q. Can flat feet be repaired by surgery? I have flat feet and I'm looking for all sorts of treatments for it- I heard there is a surgery for it- is it helpful?
Q. Is it possible to have fibromyalgia in your feet and hands? Can you explain? I am very eager to know whether anybody is here with the symptoms of mine. My thumb hurts so much that it's difficult for me to write, and both my feet hurt when I put any weight on them. My hands and feet used to be the only parts of my body that didn't hurt.
