At one time seatbelts were new, airbags were new, now there's a safety feature available that will stop a car when it senses you're about to get into a fender bender.
The new Volvo XC60, also known as "the car that stops itself," is touring Southern California as part of an educational tour about the new feature known as City Safety.
Get inside the car, drive straight toward the white striped cones and the car automatically comes to a quick stop.
City Safety was developed because a majority of accidents happen under 25 miles per hour, according to Celesta Davis, one of the Volvo staff managing the tour. If the car senses an accident is imminent, while the car is moving under 9 mph, the car will operate 100% of the car's brakes.
"It won't brake until the last minute because it doesn't want to get in the way of the driver," said Davis. "It's going to come in at the very last second."
Customers are getting access to the new feature through an Experiential Tour at Volvo retailers across the country.
Where you can see the Volvo this week from 5:30 to 8 p.m. each day:
Tuesday, Feb. 3:
Carlsbad Volvo, 6830 Avenida Encinitas, Carlsbad, Calif.
Wednesday, Feb. 4:
Power Volvo Irvine, 44 Auto Center Drive, Irvine, Calif.
Thursday, Feb. 5:
Volvo of Orange County, 1400 Dan Gurney Drive, Santa Ana, Calif.
Volvo is involved in a dialogue with insurance companies regarding lower insurance premiums for vehicles equipped with City Safety.

COMMERCE CITY, CO – The Colorado Rapids prepare to kick off their first home match of 2010 when they host the Chicago Fire this Saturday at Dick's Sporting Goods Park at 2:00pm. Last Friday night, the Colorado Rapids began their 2010 regular season with a 1-0 win over Chivas USA at The Home Depot Center thanks to an Omar Cummings goal in the 56th minute. It was the first time the team opened the season with a road win in team history. On Saturday, April 3, your Rapids kick off their 15th MLS campaign at home, and will look to go 2-0 to start a season for the first time in club history.
Quick Notes for Saturday's Opening Day:
• Colorado are 4-0-2 in their last six home openers, winning the last four by outscoring their opponents 11-3. In 2009, Omar Cummings' second half goal gave Colorado the 2-1 win over Kansas City.
• The Rapids' all-time record versus Chicago is 11-16-5, and 8-3-4 when playing them in Colorado. Chicago have posted a 3-1-1 record in the last five meetings, winning both meetings in 2009. Colorado are 1-1-1 versus the Fire at Dick's Sporting Goods Park.
• Omar Cummings has scored three goals in two starts against Chicago, tying for the most goals he has scored against any opponent. He has now also scored three against Chivas USA.
• In the Rapids' season opener against Chivas USA, five players made their debuts in a Rapids uniform, including starting defenders Danny Earls and Marvell Wynne, and midfielder Jeff Larentowicz. In the second half, Wells Thompson and rookie draft pick Ross LaBeaux entered as substitutes for their first game with the Rapids.
• Also last Friday, Team Captain Pablo Mastroeni added to his franchise-most eight season opener appearances with his seventh opening day start. • Midfielder Colin Clark made his first appearance for the Rapids since tearing his left ACL in August 2009.
• Chicago began their 2010 campaign with a 1-0 loss at the New York Red Bulls. The team has made a few roster changes since the end of 2009, including the addition of new head coach Carlos de los Cobos, Dutch forward Collins John, and goalkeeper Andrew Dystra, who replaced the veteran Jon Busch. Chicago have also had a few key losses, including the departure of midfielder Cuauhtemoc Blanco, defender Gonzalo Segares, and forward Chris Rolfe.

SAN DIEGO — Judging from the initial public reaction to the immigration reform bill drafted by the Senate's "Gang of Eight," many Americans have been pretending to be moderates on this issue when they are actually closer to the extremes.
They've been saying one thing when they really believe another. They've been trying to fool the rest of us into thinking they're fair-minded and ready to negotiate when actually their positions are set and their minds are shut. They've been stringing us along, saying they might support immigration reform as long as certain conditions are met. In truth, some of them would almost seem to prefer the status quo.
Now a group of senators from both parties has given them what they claim they wanted by introducing the Border Security, Economic Opportunity and Immigration Modernization Act of 2013. It's a meticulously crafted compromise that answers most of the concerns on the right and the left. In response, both sides are backtracking and changing the narrative. Regardless of whether they think our immigration policy should be tougher or more compassionate, they're still not satisfied.
This could simply mean that the bill is a work in progress and a long way from perfect. But there's more to it. What it really tells us is that many Americans haven't been honest about what really concerns them. And this reveals a lot about their true intentions.
For instance, conservatives have claimed that they could support some type of legalization program for undocumented immigrants if the nation's borders were secured and enforcement enhanced. They also insisted that they had nothing against legal immigrants, and that what really bothered them about the prospect of letting the undocumented remain in the United States legally was that the immigrants might go on welfare and "cut in line" with an expedited path to citizenship.
All this is addressed in the bill, which requires illegal immigrants to pay fines, eschew welfare, and wait 10 years for a green card and another three years for U.S. citizenship. The legislation also smooths the path for legal immigrants and provides billions for more fencing, better surveillance, and additional Border Patrol agents.
And what is the conservative response to this hard line? They think it's still not hard enough. The fence should be higher, the fines stiffer, the wait for legal status longer. Meanwhile, on the left, we were assured that liberals who want a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants recognized the right of the United States to protect its borders. They said they were fine with illegal immigrants meeting conditions to obtain legal status, and even used that as a negotiating ploy. One proposed condition is a criminal background check, and liberals raised no objection because they claimed they were only advocating for hardworking, law-abiding immigrants. Lastly, they insisted that immigrants did not come here to get on welfare, and that they deserved legal status because many of them had put down roots in this country.
Again, these concerns were dealt with in the new bill, which makes ineligible for legal status any recent arrivals that came to this country after Dec. 31, 2011. It says those people can be deported, and also bars from the legalization process those convicted of certain crimes.
Does this please the left? Not on your life. Liberals now insist that the bill isn't compassionate enough to the poor, makes immigrants jump through too many hoops, excludes too many people, and infringes on the rights of those who may have been arrested for a crime but paid their debt to society.
It's dizzying. But it's not difficult to understand. Many conservatives may claim that they care about securing the borders and ensuring that immigrants follow the rules. But what really worries them is that immigrants from Latin America are changing the cultural and linguistic landscape of the United States. Many liberals may claim that they're fine with imposing conditions as to who gets to legally remain in the United States and barring some people from participating. But what they really believe is that the border should be open and human beings allowed to cross it as easily as trade goods do in a free market.
So why put on the charade? It's all to appear reasonable and moderate and open-minded. For many Americans, the immigration debate is about keeping out illegal immigrants or keeping alive the possibility of reform. But for some, it's mostly about keeping up appearances.

A few people mentioned at our recent MRO Americas Conference that it would be nice if there was a streamlined way to help U.S. military maintainers get an FAA A&P maintenance license--either while they're in the service--or after they leave.
Thankfully, yours truly was the sole journalist who got to participate in a military Tiger Team a dozen or so years ago that tackled this very issue. A representative of each service, along with the FAA, worked together to outline the differences in education and experience levels within each service, compared to the FAA A&P requirements. They documented that, identified gap training, and then created the Joint Service Aviation Maintenance Technician Certification Council to manage the program to help transition military maintainers to the civilian workforce.
The dedicated military members of this group transcended their particular service roles, worked for a common good and made it happen. A big shout out to the great people from this group!
It was an extraordinary effort to be part of, and it lives on to help talented military professionals ease into civilian MRO roles. Either visit the JSAMTCC website or send an email to email@example.com to learn more.
Many civilian aviation aftermarket organizations are actively trying to hire experienced maintenance professionals. I urge you to look into this resource.

Today's maritime realm is a complex environment characterized by diverse stakeholders with competing and overlapping authorities and requirements and multiple asymmetric threats. Compounding these challenges are the vastness of that realm, the vital importance of the maritime transportation system to world economic well-being, and the relative lack of resiliency of many nodes of this vital enterprise. While simply responding to incidents within this system may have been acceptable in the past, more is demanded today. In sum, mission success is increasingly measured by the result being a "non-event," where a mishap or threat is identified early enough in its development to prevent or substantially mitigate negative consequences.
A Shift in Awareness
Fortunately, this previously difficult-to-achieve outcome may be made more likely by an enhanced ability to anticipate founded on optimized fusion and shared information that allows a growing coalition of maritime security providers to foresee rather than simply react to mishaps and threats. This power to anticipate is a quantum leap beyond the concept of a common operating picture and represents a higher level of shared synchronized situational awareness.
In many ways, the term common operating picture is a misnomer. How a given user decides to view the information is irrelevant; what is relevant is that everyone uses the same time-synchronized information drawn from trusted and authoritative sources. The new term should be shared synchronized situational awareness, meaning that all decision makers at every level know the same thing at the same time—regardless of how they choose to display the information. Such awareness, made possible by the tools of the information age, is rapidly supplanting industrial age, hierarchical command-and-control constructs by harnessing collaboration and coordination across government agencies to achieve real time unity of effort in maritime security.
Our current paradigm of regulating the sharing of information, however, is based on "need to share, need to know" and stifles the flow of information or creates undue risk. Shared synchronized situational awareness is critical to the unity of effort across diverse coalitions to achieve mission success in a highly dynamic operating environment where there is no time to assess requests for information. Instead, a new paradigm focusing on a "Triple P" model of protocols (how we share data and information), permissions (with whom we share information and data), and protections (how we keep the data and information safe), agreed to prior to or in the first seconds of an event, must be adopted. This shift will sustain and empower trust within a given coalition facilitating information flow.
History is full of examples where shared awareness may have changed outcomes—maybe none more prominent than the attack on Pearl Harbor. If key decision makers had the ability to rapidly fuse all-source information and intelligence and share the resulting awareness, Admiral Husband Kimmel, the Commander-in-Chief of the Pacific Fleet, might have had a better understanding not only of Japanese intentions but also of the veracity of the advisements and warnings he was receiving.
At the tactical level, shared synchronized situational awareness between the Army and Navy would likely have led Kimmel to be informed immediately of the Japanese midget sub contact and the Army's radar detection of a large flight of inbound aircraft. With this additional knowledge, it is probable that Kimmel would have had his forces better prepared prior to the attack and may have even been able to orchestrate a relative non-event. Of course, Kimmel did not have the advantages of modern technology, but we do, leaving us no good excuse should another surprise attack strike us from the sea.
Securing a Complex System
In the face of progressively austere budgets and increasing threats of natural and manmade disasters, unity of effort among the various agencies and private sector actors responsible for ensuring maritime security in a multi-threat environment has become increasingly important. Achieving this unity requires even closer collaboration and coordination through meaningful advances in maritime governance, operating frameworks, and especially shared synchronized situational awareness. It also must be maximized at the port (tactical), regional (operational), national (strategic), and global (grand strategy) levels. With its broad authorities and long presence within and alongside the defense, interagency, and private communities, the Coast Guard is well positioned to join with these entities to spur enhanced unity of effort among maritime safety and security providers.
The security of our maritime environment is vital to the survival of the United States—we are a maritime nation dependent upon the maritime transportation system for our economic and national security. In addition to the significant amount of business and revenue generated by U.S. recreational and commercial maritime users, over 95 percent of our foreign trade in raw materials, supplies, and goods that sustains our economy is conducted via maritime routes. Our ability to project power requires the maritime transport of military supplies and hardware. Whether we live near the shore or far inland, little in our daily lives is not connected in some way to the sea.
With nearly twice as much maritime as land border, over 360 maritime ports of entry, and more than 3.4 million square nautical miles of exclusive economic zone containing extensive mineral, energy, and living resources, our maritime domain is the world's largest. Adjacent to it are vast oceans that form a maritime commons under no nation's jurisdiction, where legitimate and illegitimate users may operate in relative obscurity. Within it exists an incredibly complex transportation system used by merchant ships of all states with crews of every nationality imaginable, U.S. and foreign fishing vessels, hundreds of commuter ferries and cruise ships, and hundreds of thousands of recreational users. Further complicating the situation is that the infrastructure supporting this transportation system is owned and operated by an array of private companies or state port authorities that are often in direct competition with one another.
Shared Responsibility
Securing our vast and immensely complex maritime domain and marine transportation system is beyond the ability of any one agency or entity. Instead, a number of federal, state, and local agencies are charged with protecting that system against a variety of accidental, intentional, manmade, and natural threats from multiple vectors (surface, subsurface, air, and cyber). Each agency has authorities, jurisdictions, and duties that can be unique, overlapping, or intertwined with those of other agencies. In addition, each agency possesses its own culture, perspective, and priorities that make it unique in both its understanding and its approach to threats. In the public sector, there are a multitude of independent private sector maritime owners and operators who also share responsibility for securing maritime operations. Within and between each of these sectors are competing interests that often create tension and undermine cooperation.
Published in 2005, the National Strategy for Maritime Security recognizes the need for unity of effort in securing our maritime domain. The strategy calls for a "comprehensive and cohesive national effort involving appropriate federal, state, local, and private sector entities" to secure the nation's maritime environment by "blending public and private maritime security activities on a global scale into an integrated effort that addresses all maritime threats." The strategy affirmed that "the Department of Homeland Security, with the U.S. Coast Guard as its executive agency, has the primary responsibility for maritime homeland security."
With so many independent agencies and the private sector sharing responsibility for the security of our maritime domain, mission success depends on unity of effort, yet often without unity of command. This is best achieved through a triad of:
• Shared synchronized situational awareness that empowers collaboration and aligned decision making and is derived from three significant components—what the authors consider the three "Ps:" protocols, permissions, and protections;
• A common governance framework that synthesizes the various authorities, capabilities, capacities, competencies, and partnerships of the coalition;
• A common operating framework that facilitates collaboration, sustains trust, and supports coordinated yet independently controlled action.
Within this triad, the key to effective unity of effort among the maritime-security coalition at every level, from the ports to the global maritime, is shared synchronized situational awareness, which is the foundation that allows the coalition to align decision making. This awareness need not be derived from brick-and-mortar joint command-and-control nodes, but from highly automated shared virtual data systems that synthesize "big data" into relevant information. Additional context can then be provided by the unique knowledge and experience of coalition members to create shared knowledge. Simply described, data that may appear unimportant to some members may be recognized as unusual and potentially threatening by others, raising the alarm for all. As the process repeats, the participants in the system continue to learn and adapt to potential threats. The process for capturing and disseminating this information must be accomplished within a timeframe that enables effective action. This decision cycle can be thought of as a continuous OODA (observe, orient, decide, and act) Loop. The challenge is to achieve this higher order cognizance in a timely and operationally-relevant manner for field operators.
"Big data" include all of the imaginable (and yet to be imagined) data sources available from local to global—a nearly infinite number of potential sources. Every member of the maritime-security coalition continuously collects data regarding activities relevant to their particular purposes. In addition, there is a nearly endless list of maritime users recording and/or discussing happenings in the maritime domain on just as nearly an endless number of electronic media. Marina and maritime facility operators collect data on long- and short-term facility users. Commercial operators have schedules of movements and discuss maritime activities over the radio. Everyone exchanges current event information on social media. Further, decision makers can gain valuable situational insight from public sources such as cable news. Any piece of data or combination thereof, if properly captured and understood by security forces, could identify a threat before it fully evolves.
The challenge for securing today's maritime environment is not the lack of data, but abundance. Humans can only absorb so many disorganized data inputs before they become saturated; we also have difficulties in recognizing patterns and anomalies in large data sets. In contrast, today's information technology can absorb massive amounts of data, rapidly process it according to tailored instructions, and communicate processed output through customized interfaces to humans for understanding and comprehension. Never in human history has such technology existed, and it becomes more capable and affordable by the day.
To enhance synergy and unity of effort, independent actions need to be coordinated through common governance and operating frameworks. Such frameworks are best exemplified in responses to maritime disasters like Hurricane Sandy. During these events, federal, state, local agency and private-sector responders unify under the National Response Framework, which provides a common governance structure, and the National Incident Management System Incident Command System, which provides the common operating framework.
Another example of employing common governance and operating frameworks in building effective coalitions is in our ports. Based on the requirements of the Maritime Transportation Security Act of 2002 (MTSA), each port formed an area maritime-security committee consisting of key federal, state, municipal, and private-sector maritime-security stakeholders. Led by the Coast Guard Captain of the Port as the MTSA-designated federal maritime-security coordinator, the area maritime-security committees share threat information and maintain an area maritime-security plan.
The plan identifies the port's security risks and sets forth how the various members will work to mitigate these risks and respond to heightened security threats using the National Response Framework and National Incident Management System Incident Command System. All members of the port-security coalition form the committee either as a sitting member or participant and agree through the area maritime-security plan on how to best use their respective authorities, capabilities, capacities, competencies, and partnerships to secure and protect the port. The plan also serves as the common operating framework that specifies how coalition members will coordinate their security activities under their individual command-and-control systems. Part of what motivates this level of collaboration and cooperation within ports is the understanding that no one agency can ensure resiliency in the port; it is only through partnership that the port can thrive in a multi-threat environment.
Unity of Effort in Practice
Imagine the patrol commander of a Coast Guard security escort protecting a chemical tanker transiting through a crowded port. The patrol commander receives an alert on a wireless tablet that multiple tweets have been posted regarding three speedboats loitering in a small cove around the bend in the channel, a cove seldom used by recreational boaters. A second popup on the tablet informs the patrol commander that the state police have been notified of a cash purchase of three speedboats several weeks before by persons using false information. Using his fused display application on his tablet, the patrol commander can see that a state marine patrol boat is operating about a half mile from the location of the speedboats and texts the marine patrol to investigate the suspect craft well before the escorted tanker would pass the cove. All of these actions are taken within the context of pre-agreed, objective-based common governance and operating frameworks for the unified coalition effort.
Comprehensive shared synchronized situational awareness of a maritime-security coalition and the ability to self-organize based on that awareness creates a revolutionary capability. Collecting and sifting immense volumes of disparate data, sharing this processed "big data," and converting this knowledge into a common operating picture enables forces to anticipate and react to a threat as early as possible.
This challenge requires systems that will consume any form of data and identify, flag, and display or communicate threat indicators in ways most helpful to the various users on different systems. The human interface should be limited to the various coalition members collaborating to flag or add context to anomalous data that deserves attention. The information produced by this process must be recognized as helpful, authoritative, and trusted by all in order to sustain and empower trust within the coalition.
This port model of shared awareness, based on cooperation and trust, needs to be replicated at the regional, national, and global levels. As the Department of Homeland Security's executive agency for maritime security, the Coast Guard should lead this effort to build a strong interagency coalition at every level, similar to the role of its federal maritime security coordinators in the ports.
At the regional level, the various agencies responsible for implementing strategy at the operational level need to be identified and in turn organize and prioritize the governance and operating frameworks. In addition to their regional offices that oversee relatively small geographic areas, somewhere within each agency are those responsible for translating strategy into action on a broader geographic scale. These personnel are the operational element of each agency and need to be brought together to collaborate and develop a coordinated plan for implementing the nation's maritime strategy that leverages the strengths of each. This plan needs to employ a whole-of-nation approach that leaves no gaps or excessive overlaps in our maritime security.
At the national level, the Global Maritime Operational Threat Response Coordination Center manages a process for federal security agencies to rapidly assess maritime threats to U.S. interests worldwide and decide upon a course of action. As such, the center provides a common governance structure and operating framework for most actionable maritime threats short of acts of war from a sovereign state—particularly those identified well offshore. What is missing is a common governance and operating framework for jointly creating the appropriate policy, strategy, and budget decisions to best ensure continuous maritime security through a whole-of-nation approach. The National Maritime Security Advisory Committee created by MTSA, while effective in addressing various maritime- security policy issues, needs to resemble more the area maritime-security committees to assess national maritime vulnerabilities and update the National Maritime Security Plan as appropriate while continuing to advise the Secretary of Homeland Security. This plan needs to further strengthen the concept of interagency collaboration and cooperation and provide both a shared strategic intent and a common national governance structure for decision making.
At the global level, the International Maritime Organization's International Ship and Port Facility Security Code provides a common governance framework for maritime security, which in consort with emerging technologies, provides an opportunity for enhancing international unity of effort through shared situational awareness.
Leverage Collaboration for Success
The example given of the attack on Pearl Harbor pointed out a failure in shared awareness and governance, but history also provides examples of where a more collaborative approach leads to operational success. At the start of World War II, Germany's command-and-control capability was centered around the Enigma machine. Fortunately for the Allies, Poland's Cipher Bureau was able to reconstruct such a machine. As Europe was on a collision course towards war, Poland shared their capability with the United Kingdom. After the United States entered the war, Germany's U-Boats sunk Allied shipping at an alarming rate. As Andrew Lycett noted in his 2011 article Breaking Germany's Enigma Code, "A break-through came in March 1941, when the German trawler Krebs was captured off Norway, complete with two Enigma machines and the naval Enigma settings list for the previous month. This allowed the German Naval Enigma code to be read, albeit with some delay, in April, by allied code breakers." The information was immediately shared through a structured form of maritime governance—the result was a dramatic drop in submarine attacks—a shared approach to operations, which connected the dots and resulted in a dramatic change in direction of the war and the creation of many "non-events."
Maritime security in the 21st century information age must be founded on collaboration and coordination, synchronized situational awareness, and common governance and operating frameworks that share the goal of unity of effort. We must shed the rigid, hierarchical, top-down command and control system of decision making of the industrial age. Our operations must reflect the age in which we live, or we risk unexcused failures. The power to anticipate, through the tremendous power of information technology and shared purpose, presents an unprecedented opportunity to ultimately achieve mission success through "non-events."
Social Media: Tapping Into Human Collectors for 1s and 0s
Social media has become more than a distraction or a way to pass the time. It is changing the way we respond to disasters and enhances our shared situational awareness. At just over 7 years old, Twitter claims to have over 500 million users who send 400 million tweets a day. Facebook also claims to have over 500 million users who spend over 700 minutes per month on the site. Each user is a human sensor, and each tweet or Facebook post is data, that when corroborated with other knowledge and patterns can provide vital information in anticipating or responding to an event.
Following the bombing at the Boston Marathon, the Boston Police Department used Twitter to disseminate information and updates. The short, 140 character tweets, provided Bostonians a lifeline for communication and was the department's best defense against misinformation. In a peer reviewed paper published in the journal PLOS Currents: Disasters, it was noted that Boston area hospitals monitored Twitter postings by officials and civilians to anticipate their response. Similarly, NATO forces in Libya utilized tweets from rebel fighters to gain information not available by other means. Information gained from tweets was combined with collected intelligence to coordinate airstrikes that ultimately led to the overthrow of the Ghadafi regime.
In the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, getting in contact with loved ones whose homes had been destroyed was difficult. Facebook users throughout New York and New Jersey posted their status online, letting their family know they were okay. Other families posted pictures of missing loved ones that peers and other users were able to use to locate them. The extensive personal networks inherent in Facebook allow for instantaneous peer-to-peer assistance and application. In the chaos after an event, when telephone lines go down or are overwhelmed, Facebook is able to provide that vital link.
The power to assimilate accurate, timely, and quick data via social media allows responders to anticipate needs and respond to events increasing our overall resiliency and shared situational awareness, as well as provide aid after an event.

Metrics charts and graphs plot the values of MBean instances and attributes. The values can be real-time polled metric values obtained from a running WebLogic Server, or they can provide a historical view of that metric value for all metrics maintained by the WLDF Harvester.
To create charts and graphs based on metrics data, you drag metrics attributes from the Metrics tab to the View panel. Each new graph shows the value of the selected attribute over time.
The following sections describe how to work with metrics charts and graphs:
For general information about working with metrics charts and graphs and with method performance charts and graphs, see Working with All Charts and Graphs.
The Metrics tab displays metrics available for a single server at a time. To select a different server, select the server from the Server dropdown list. The Server dropdown list displays all the servers in the domain.
The Metrics tab displays a tree containing the following:
The icons described in Table 7-1 help to identify items in the tree:.
The tree shows the MBean types, instances, and attributes for a server. Display items in the Metrics tab, as follows:
|If the MBean type has no registered instances, the name of the MBean type appears in a gray, italic font. If no instances are registered, you cannot expand the node.
You can display details about MBean instances and attributes by placing the mouse pointer over items in the tree of MBeans displayed in the Metrics tab:
For more information about displaying these kinds of details, see Displaying Tooltips for Controls, Views, Graphs, and Charts.
You can display details about metrics charts and graphs displayed in the View panel by pointing the mouse pointer at objects in the panel:
For information about displaying these details, see ee Displaying Tooltips for Controls, Views, Graphs, and Charts.
You can track a metric based on an attribute of any registered MBean simply by dragging the attribute to a chart. You can also create more complex custom metrics by performing a variety of functions on one or more MBean instance attribute values. The custom metric is then available for creating graphs for all instances of a type.
To create a custom metric:
|The Custom Metric Editor provides comprehensive help through tooltips. To display a tooltip, point the mouse at a field, function, or item in an expression, then pause for a moment until the tooltip is displayed.
The Custom Metric Editor enforces where you can drop a function or attribute. When you drag an item to an allowed position in the Expression field, the position is highlighted to indicate you can drop an item there. You can drop into the following positions:
|If no metric or function has yet been inserted where one is required, The placeholder
<MP> (that is, a metric placeholder) appears wherever a metric or function is required but none has yet been added. You can drag a function or metric onto any occurrence of
|To display symbols that indicate where the insert areas are, check the Show Insert Areas checkbox under the Expression field.
|When you display the Custom Metric Editor for an MBean type, you can use the editor to build an expression for that MBean type only. If you want to create a custom metric for a different MBean type, you must save or cancel the expression you are building, then right-click the different MBean type to create a custom metric for it.
To edit or delete a custom metric:

The Available Functions box in the Custom Metric Editor lists all the functions you can use to construct an expression. To display a note about what each function does, point the mouse to the function and pause. A tooltip is displayed. The functions are listed by type and explained in the following tables:
|In the tables,
<MP> represents a function or a defined metric.
Table 7-2 describes functions that accept vector and/or scalar data but do not require a computed state from previous data for comparing results.
Table 7-3 describes functions that accept vector and/or scalar data and that do require a computed state from previous data for computing results.
Table 7-4 describes functions that operate over an interval.

Toyota Land Cruiser Association's Cruise Moab EventPosted in Events on March 1, 2008
To the Longfields, to the Newfields, to the Profields -- this story is dedicated to you, the aftermarket birfield manufacturers. A few short years ago and this trail report would not have been possible. Like everything else in this fast-paced world, though, rockcrawling technology is improving by leaps and bounds. As vehicles get more capable, trails become passable that would have been considered unrealistic in the past. One such trail is Coyote. Sorry for the pun, but this trail is ugly. This fact, however, did not deter our group of Toyota pickup owners from attempting it. After running Pritchett Canyon the previous day as part of the Toyota Land Cruiser Association's Cruise Moab event, Denver's Homegrown Crew was hungry for more. And more is exactly what they got with the Coyote Trail.
1PhotosView Slideshow
The trail starts by climbing out of a dry creek bed up a wash filled with large, loose rocks. It gets rough right from the start, with a narrow slot between two massive boulders that requires the driver to pivot on one of the rocks and make a hard left turn. Unlike some other trails in the Moab area, Coyote is unrelenting, with obstacles stacked one on top of another. Other noticeable differences include the tight confines of the wash and relative lack of traction. Granted this isn't Tellico, but it is a far cry from the normal slickrock found throughout the Moab area. The Toyotas, with their triple-digit wheelbases, had to make multiple-point turns on many of these obstacles. With the exception of some new scratches and dents, all this added was an additional challenge on an already extreme trail. As Coyote continues to climb, there are several more turns and huge rocks in your path. With no room to go around (or turn around for that matter), the Homegrown Crew was forced to scale the boulders and continue on.
3PhotosView Slideshow
After approximately one half of a mile, the trail stops climbing and turns south, where it meanders back down toward the creek bed that marks the entrance. In addition to the assistance of gravity, the obstacles on the second half of the trail are not nearly as difficult or plentiful as the ascent, making us wonder if it would be easier to run the trail backward. The one exception was a large drop that planted the front end of each truck squarely against a dirt berm, after which a 90-degree left-hand turn was required. This is where our affection for aftermarket birfield manufacturers blossomed. Toyota front axles were considered a liability in the past due to their use of birfield joints (similar to a CV axle in an IFS application) instead of steering U-joints. Backing up, turning the wheels to the steering stops, and binding up the frontend have all traditionally been recipes for disasters when it comes to birfields. All three criteria were present on this particular obstacle, since the trucks had to nose off straight to avoid rolling, then crank the wheels and back up the obstacle to make the turn. Incredibly, no breakage occurred.
5PhotosView Slideshow
Unlike some trucks that have Toyota sheetmetal but feature Chevy motors and Dana axles, the Homegrown Crew's rigs are all Toyota, from the motor to the transfer cases (yes, that is plural) to the axles. Of the five vehicles on the trail with us for this run, two rigs were running Longfields with stock inner axles, two were using 30-spline chromoly Longfields (stock birfields are 27-spline) with chromoly inner shafts, and two were running Newfields with chromoly inners. No breakage was experienced, even with stock hubs and gears turning 40-inch tires -- a true testament to the strength of Toyotas.
The rest of the trail was quite moderate, and even with a group of five vehicles, we were able to complete the trail in only a few hours. This, coupled with the lack of breakage, left the whole afternoon for the Toyotas to explore some Moab's more traditional offerings. After what we saw on this day, perhaps we should consider calling this trail Coyota.

Police called to the scene of a small accident in Manhattan found a fun surprise in the trunk of one of the cars! Well, not "fun." Actually, "horrifying." It was a man, with his ear cut off.
On Wednesday morning, a BMW turning off the Harlem Rive Drive hit the back of a cab. Both drivers exited the car, and as is standard New York City protocol, the BMW driver ran off. The cabbie called the cops, and that's when they found their prize:
They spotted blood on the trunk, opened it and found a man bound and unconscious inside, a police source said. He had been beaten and suffered a severe head injury, cops said.
One of his ears was nearly sliced off, a police source said.
Sounds like someone was watching Reservoir Dogs before deciding to commit a horrific crime! The man, who survived, was stabilized at Harlem Hospital, and remains unidentified; the BMW was stolen. And, if you take nothing else from this story, remember to drive carefully.

Daniel Bryan overcame the odds and beat Randy Orton for the WWE Championship on Sunday at Night of Champions. But do we really think the McMahon family was going to give up this easily, or will there be another twist in the bearded one's saga tonight? We'll find out together as Raw goes live once again on USA.
The fans give Bryan a warm welcome as he hits the ring with his hard-earned title belt in hand. He tells the fans how awesome they are and leads them in a triumphant "Yes!" chant that would probably go longer if it wasn't halted by the arrival of Triple H. The Game wants to address what he calls the 800-pound gorilla in the room, which as the fast count that ended the championship match. In the interest of getting to the bottom of it, Trips summons Scott Armstrong, the official who made the count. They watch footage of Armstrong's normal cadence while making a count and compare it to the finish. It was faster, no question. How does he explain this? Armstrong admits that he made a mistake and that it was a fast count. Hunter thinks he's hiding something, and Armstrong reluctantly says "They're onto us" to Bryan. A confused champ faces more heat from Triple H, who says he has no choice but to hold up the championship because of the "conspiracy" that needs to be investigated in more detail. He asks Bryan to do the right thing and hand over the belt - or he will take it. The crowd urges him not to comply as Orton hits the ring. Triple H wants both men to be reasonable, promising that he'll get to the bottom of this. When Bryan refuses, Orton hits him with an RKO, allowing HHH to leave with the gold.
Orton storms in and demands his title back, but Stephanie McMahon intervenes and tells Randy that until he finds the sick bastard with no morality that he used to be, maybe they'll have to find a new face of the WWE.
Match 1 - Dean Ambrose vs. Dolph Ziggler
JBL says that as a former WWE Champion, he's disgusted and embarrassed by what Bryan has done. Playing that heel role to a tee! Ambrose sends Ziggler flying out to the floor and right into a commercial break. Dolph is still taking it on the chin after we return, getting planted by a superplex for two. He absorbs more abuse before hitting a jumping DDT that leaves both men down. A dropkick and mounted corner punches follow, as does a running clothesline and repeated elbow drops. Ziggler covers but Ambrose kicks out at two. The two grapplers trade two counts until Ambrose looks for his finisher, which gets countered by a Zig Zag that ends the match. No belt for Dolph, but he does get a measure of revenge.
A pacing Brad Maddox tells Big Show that Triple H and Stephanie will be in to talk to him momentarily. And they are, with Trips telling Maddox that he wants Bryan to compete against Roman Reigns, while Steph tells Show she expects him to be at her beck and call tonight in case she needs him. He has no choice but to play along, since he can't afford to be suspended without pay again.
Match 2 - Fandango vs. R-Truth
This one spilled out of a dance competition on Smackdown, apparently. The fans chant for Summer Rae instead of the match, somewhat understandably. She gets excited as Fandango drops a leg off the top turnbuckle, and that's enough to get a victory.
Dusty Rhodes makes his way out, acknowledging the fans but clearly with a lot on his mind. The American Dream makes an impassioned speech about finding a way to do things for the love of your children, and he's definitely upset about what happened to Cody. He wants to know about the business proposition Stephanie supposedly has for him, and she comes out applauding. She apologizes if Hunter's business decision cast a shadow over the wedding, but Dusty turns down the Bed, Bath & Beyond gift card she offers (�That's where they were registered!�). Cutting to the chase, McMahon says Cody can have his job back... or it can go to older brother Goldust. She says she knows that Dusty blames himself for neglecting Dustin over the years, but he won't be tricked into choosing between them. He tells Stephanie she can go straight to hell, and she ends up summoning The Shield in response. Steph calls for Big Show to "even things out," but something tells me he won't be on the Dream's side. Sure enough, she wants Show to knock him out, and when he refuses, she sends in The Shield instead. The giant gives Dusty a hug before apologizing and knocking him out. I guess that was more humane than the alternative, no?
Show stays by Dusty's side as medics wheel him to a waiting ambulance, even hopping in to ride to the hospital with him.
Match 3 - Layla, Oksana and Alicia Fox vs. Brie Bella and The Funkadactyls
AJ and Natalya join the announcers for some commentary, mostly so they can trade barbs about making each other tap out. Meanwhile all six women get in on the action and Brie ends up getting the pinfall. Nattie and AJ have a post-match staredown as well.
Match 4 - Damien Sandow vs. Rob Van Dam
Sandow gets some early pinning attempts as the crowd tries to rally behind RVD. The Elbow of Disdain gets another two, and now Ricardo Rodriguez is leading the cheers. On cue, Van Dam starts flying around until his Rolling Thunder is countered. The announcers would rather debate whether Bryan knew about the quick count. Van Dam delivers the Five Star Frog Splash, and that's it for this one.
Armstrong visits Triple H, who gives him a lecture about how the officials need to be above reproach. And so he's going to offer him a very generous severance package. "I'm going to take care of you."
Match 5 - Randy Orton vs. The Miz
Hometown boy Miz wants to celebrate with his parents and friends, but Orton assaults him from behind, possibly hurting his shoulder in the process. After some commercials, Miz wants to go on with the bout anyway, valiantly competing with only one good arm. He sends Orton into the retaining wall several times on the outside, but Randy quickly responds right in front of Mr. and Mrs. Miz Sr. The ref calls for the bell, but Orton still sends Miz over the announce table and stomps away on him. Miz fights back beside his folks, but a DDT off the barricade puts an end to that. Back in the ring, Orton puts Miz's head in a steel chair and makes a dramatic knee drop onto it.
Paul Heyman makes his appearance pushed in a wheelchair by Ryback. He calls himself the best in the world and taunts the Cleveland fans for their insignificant achievements. He's pretty proud of his most recent one, pinning CM Punk. Heyman claims he had no master plan, and that the beating he took was so bad that he's confined to a wheelchair, perhaps the most vicious beating in WWE history. How did he survive? Because one man stood up hen all other Paul Heyman men fell down, and that man is Ryback. He owes his life to Ryback. If there's one thing Ryback can't stand, it's a bully, and Ryback didn't appreciate the way Punk was bullying Heyman. As long as he's around, Punk will never put his hands on Heyman again. And there's a kiss on the cheek. #Awkward
Match 6 - The Usos vs. The Real Americans vs. Tons of Funk - Tag Team Number One Contenders Match
Trent Richardson and some of the other Cleveland Browns are in the house as guests of The Usos. They see Jimmy (I think) get an extended beating from both the other teams until Tensai decides to focus on Antonio Cesaro instead. That doesn't stop Cesaro from flying in and rolling up Tensai to eliminate Tons of Funk. Commercial time. During the break, fans were giving the "This is awesome!" chant to Cesaro for his Big Swing. Seriously. Now the fans are chanting for JBL and Jerry Lawler for some reason. Jimmy Uso gets a hot tag from his brother and unloads on Jack Swagger, but Cesaro manages to save his partner. The Usos make dual leaps to the outside as Zeb Colter shows some concern. A wild finish ends with Jey flying off the top rope to splash Swagger and win a tag team title shot.
At this point, I'm not going to try translating any of the Wyatt Family videos for you. They kind of need to be seen for themselves. Bray does promise to Abigail to put all the sick and wounded animals down, that much I got. Backstage, Bryan gets some support from the good guys on the roster and a hug from Brie as he heads to the ring.
Main Event - Daniel Bryan vs. Roman Reigns
Ambrose and Seth Rollins are out supporting their teammate, but Orton soon makes his way out as well. Bryan opens fast with a flurry of kicks, working over Reigns' left leg with abandon. Orton sits back and strokes his facial hair as Reigns tries to prevent more damage to his leg. The Shield's enforcer finally gets things going his way, slowing the pace with a headlock and some shoulder blocks. Bryan responds with a knee to the midsection and some kicks to Reigns' back. He goes back to his bulldog-like attack on the left leg but ends up in a bad way in the corner. Bryan's rally takes the form of a big missile dropkick, but Reigns catches him flying out to the floor and smashes him into the apron. Switch to the app during the ads (where applicable)! Bryan slowly works his way out of trouble, drawing on some love from the Cleveland crowd. He kicks Reigns in the chest a bunch of times but misses a head shot, and a Reigns Samoan drop is good for a near fall. Bryan escapes a power bomb and gets his own two with a kick to the head. Rollins gets a baseball kick for getting too close to the action, and Ambrose gets a dropkick too. Reigns tries moving in for the kill with Bryan on the mat, but he gets hauled into the Yes Lock instead. Orton intervenes, the match is thrown out, and Bryan is soon victim to a four-on-one assault. Orton sets the chair up to give Bryan some of the same medicine Miz got, but the Usos, Kofi Kingston, Ziggler, RVD, R-Truth , Zack Ryder, Justin Gabriel, and the Prime Time Players all hit the ring. Rollins eats a running knee shot from Bryan ,and The Shield is left licking its wounds. The Players hoist Bryan onto their shoulders and everyone joins in a "Yes!" chant as Raw ends with the good guys finally getting some payback. See you in seven!
Nick Tylwalk has been waiting for a WCW-style ending with the locker room hoisting a guy up in the air in triumph at the end of the show, and now he got it.

U.S. equity markets rallied to kick off the week following encouraging election news out of Italy over the weekend along with upbeat results from Caterpillar (CAT), which hinted at an uptick in output from China. Corporate earnings will remain at the center of attention this week as more industry bellwethers step up to the plate, including reports from Apple (AAPL) and AT&T (T) after the closing bell today[Download 101 ETF Lessons Every Financial Advisor Should Learn].
Diversified industrial behemoth DuPont (DD) is slated to report earnings later today, which brings our spotlight onto the Materials Select Sector SPDR (XLB, A), as it allocates over 9% of its total assets to the company. Analysts are expecting for the firm to report earnings of $1.55 per share, compared to a year ago when DD reported earnings of $1.52 per share [try Free ETF Stock Exposure Tool].
Chart Analysis
XLB is currently trading in a sweet spot from a technical perspective; notice how this ETF appears to have completed a healthy correction since peaking at $40.04 a share in early March of 2013 judging by its ability to rebound off its 200-day moving average (yellow line), which has allowed it to remain within its longer-term upward sloping trading channel (blue lines). As such, entering into a long position at current levels is attractive because traders can favorably position themselves in anticipation of a run higher while still keeping a close watch on downside risk by setting a tight stop-loss near the recent low at the bottom of XLB's trading channel [see How To Swing Trade ETFs].
Despite XLB's bullish setup, the technical pattern at hand can still encounter headwinds if DuPont posts disappointing results later today and prompts a sell-off in the basic materials sector [see How To Take Profits And Cut Losses When Trading ETFs].
Upbeat results from DD can surely fuel XLB's rebound; in terms of upside, this ETF has major resistance at $40 a share. On the other hand, lackluster quarterly results can also snap XLB's winning streak; in terms of downside, this ETF has major support around $37 a share. As always, investors of all experience levels are advised to use stop-loss orders and practice disciplined profit-taking techniques.
