Couple Charged With Defrauding Joplin Tornado Victims
JOPLIN, Mo. (AP) - A southwest Missouri couple will stand trial on charges that they defrauded victims of the 2011 Joplin tornado.
Sixty-five-year-old Jeffrey Wolfson, of Osage Beach, and his wife, 57-year-old Gloria Schoeller, of Springfield, are accused of taking about $38,000 of insurance money from three Joplin property owners without performing the promised repairs.
The EF-5 tornado that hit Joplin on May 22, 2011, demolished a broad swath of the city and killed 161 people.
The Joplin Globe reports that Jasper County Judge Richard Copeland found probable cause Thursday to try Wolfson on charges of theft and deceptive business practice. Schoeller waived a preliminary hearing Tuesday on similar charges, including theft, fraud and deceptive business practice.
Lawyers listed for Schoeller and Wolfson didn't immediately return calls seeking comment.JOPLIN, Mo. (AP) - A southwest Missouri couple will stand trial on charges that they defrauded victims of the 2011 Joplin tornado

Heisman: Winston, Manziel, Lynch among 6 finalists
Recommended Video:
NEW YORK (AP) -- Jameis Winston will have plenty of company at the Heisman Trophy ceremony -- though he's not expected to have much competition.
The Florida State quarterback was among a record-tying six Heisman finalists revealed Monday, along with Northern Illinois' Jordan Lynch, Texas A&M's Johnny Manziel, Alabama's AJ McCarron, Auburn's Tre Mason and Boston College's Andre Williams.
Six finalists invited to New York for the presentation are the most since 1994. The winner will be announced Saturday night.
Winston is the overwhelming favorite to win the award now that a sexual assault complaint against him in Tallahassee, Fla., has been closed without charges being filed. He could also become the second freshman to win the award.
Manziel was the first last year. The Aggies quarterback is trying to join another exclusive Heisman club by becoming the second player to win the award twice. Ohio State's Archie Griffin won the award in 1974 and '75.
Lynch led No. 24 Northern Illinois (12-1) to within a victory of a BCS bid and has set the major college record for yards rushing for a quarterback this season with 1,815. He also tweeted that he was a finalist about five minutes before the official announcement was made on ESPN by former winner Danny Wuerffel.
"NYC here I come!! Thanks to the coaches teammates and media relation couldn't of did it wt out them!" the record-setting senior posted.
McCarron completed 67 percent of his passes for 2,676 yards and 26 touchdowns for the fourth-ranked Crimson Tide (11-1).
Mason has made a late push into the Heisman conversation as No. 2 Auburn reached the BCS title game. He ran for 304 yards and four TDs in the SEC championship game, and is ninth in the country in rushing (124 ypg) with 22 touchdowns
Williams is the nation's leading rusher at 175 yards per game, the 16th player in FBS to run for 2,000 yards in a season and the first since 2008.
Winston's arrival as Florida State's starting quarterback was being touted as a major event in the spring and he has surpassed the hype. The Alabama native is on pace to break the NCAA record for passer efficiency rating (190.1) and has already set records for yards passing (3,820) and TD passes (38) for a freshman.
Winston's only issues have come off the field. About a month ago, a year-old sexual assault complaint against him made by a female Florida State student was given by police to the state attorney's office for a full investigation.
A woman claimed Winston raped her. Winston's lawyer said the sex was consensual. Winston continued to play, and play well, during the investigation. Last week, the state attorney announced there would be no charges filed in the case, and two days later Winston threw for three touchdown passes and ran for a score as No. 1 Florida State won the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game 45-7 against Duke and wrapped up a spot in the BCS title game.
In the latest straw poll released Monday by HeismanPundit.com, which has correctly predicted the last seven winners, Winston received seven of the 10 first-place votes and 26 points to easily outdistance Lynch (eight points and two first-place votes).
Winston is also a finalist for the Maxwell and Walter Camp player of the year awards.
All six finalists are expected to attend the ceremony, which would match '94 for the most in Heisman history. That season Colorado tailback Rashaan Salaam won the Heisman, and Penn State's Ki-Jana Carter and Kerry Collins, along with Alcorn State's Steve McNair, Alabama's Jay Barker and Miami's Warren Sapp were finalists.
In 1989, eight players were invited to the ceremony, but only four attended. Among the missing was Houston's Andre Ware, who won the award but was preparing for a game.

By Bob Hullinger
John Dillinger, Indiana's most notorious gunman, reportedly had a Kokomo woman as one of his best friends during the height of his crime spree in the early 1930s.
However, the woman, Mrs. Pearl Elliott, wasn't the only contact Dillinger had with Kokomo. The Mooresville, Ind., bandit once spent a couple of days here and one of his friends robbed a Kokomo bank.
Dillinger's known visit here was legal - he was seeking parole for one of his friends. Reports have it that Dillinger was in Kokomo other times too, hiding out.
Mrs. Elliott was said to be involved closely with Dillinger and his gang. It was reported she was treasurer for the gang and served as arbitrator during arguments which occurred among its members.
The Kokomo woman, listed as a roadhouse proprietress during her stay in Kokomo, had several run-ins with law enforcement officers here. According to police records, several cases involving violation of public morals were listed against her.
She figured prominently in the 1924 robbery of the South Kokomo Bank and at the time was operating a place of questionable standing at Washington and Madison Streets.
Supposedly she harbored the gangsters who robbed the Kokomo bank, prior to the robbery. The gangsters, headed by Harry Pierpont, obtained $4,828 in cash, $4,300 in liberty bonds and $2,000 in unnegotiable securities.
Pierpont and his associates were captured later in Detroit and brought her for trial and were convicted. Pierpont escaped from prison, then "rescued" Dillinger from a Lima, Ohio, jail, after murdering the sheriff.
Kokomo's Chief of Police, Clint Jackson, traveled to Tucson, Ariz., to question Pierpont about activities concerning the Elliott woman, after Pierpont had been recaptured in that city.
The bandit told Jackson that he had stopped at the place on North Washington Street, formerly occupied by the Elliott woman, and had kicked open the door. He found her gone, but talked briefly with a woman who apparently was keeping the place.
Although Mrs. Elliott was never captured by the police, the Department of Justice sent posters all over the nation, carrying her picture and listing her as wanted in connection with Dillinger and his gang.
After Dillinger was killed by FBI men July 22, 1934, Mrs. Elliott traveled to Mooresville to view the body in open defiance of authorities.
According to one newsman, Mrs. Elliott went to the funeral home in the company of four other women, all associated with the Dillinger gang.
The women drove a smart, maroon-colored coupe within hand-shaking distance of state troopers and detectives, then joined the line of those waiting to see the body.
One reporter for a wire service centered his story around the Kokomo woman. "Official Indiana State Police circulars asking the apprehension of Pearl Elliott are in a hundred cities," he pointed out, "The woman has long been sought as the advance fixer and brains as well as treasurer of the Dillinger gang. It is believed that this former proprietress of a fancy Kokomo establishment engaged apartments for the Dillinger-Pierpont bandits before they came in to 'pull their jobs', directed the division of loot, and acted as arbiter in the inter-gang quarrels."
The reporter claimed he approached the Elliott woman and asked, "What brings you here?" She hesitated, and then answered, "I came for a last look at Johnny. He never threw me down and I wouldn't do it to him."
Only a few months after Dillinger's death, Mrs. Elliott was reported near death of an incurable disease at her mother's home in Frankfort.
State police, upon learning she was in Frankfort, claimed they no longer wanted her since the death of Dillinger and the capture or death of most of the Dillinger gang.
This undated article was part of the vertical files at the Kokomo-Howard County Library under "Pearl Elliott". Pearl was the Kokomo madam who helped to aid young Harry PIERPONT and then later, John Dillinger, during the days of the "Terror Gang". Harry PIERPONT (1902-1934), was my paternal cousin.

Feds to Seek International Trade Protection for U.S. Turtles
Would Help End Runaway Harvest of Turtles in Eastern United States
WASHINGTON— The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced today that it will propose three species of U.S. freshwater turtles for protection at the next meeting of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) in Thailand in 2013. Today's announcement responds to a 2011 petition submitted by the Center for Biological Diversity that asked the Service to help end the destructive international trade in American freshwater turtles. Millions of wild freshwater turtles are caught in the United States every year and exported.
"Turtle traders are depleting U.S. turtle populations at a frightening rate. It's got to stop soon or we're going to lose these incredible animals from the wild," said the Center's Collette Adkins Giese, an attorney and biologist who works to save endangered reptiles and amphibians. "Commercial harvesting only compounds the daily problems native turtles already face from habitat loss, water pollution and road mortality."
More than 2 million wild-caught, live turtles are exported from the United States each year. Most are used to supply food and medicinal markets in Asia, where turtle consumption rates have soared despite the fact that native turtle populations have already been killed off. Adult turtles are also taken from the wild to breed hatchlings for the international pet trade.
Overharvest has caused population declines in almost all turtle species, with many now either protected as endangered under the Endangered Species Act or under consideration for such protection. For example, the beautiful spotted turtle — one of 53 species of amphibians and reptiles included in a recent Endangered Species Act listing petition filed by the Center — has suffered sharp declines because of overcollection for the pet trade.
"I'm so pleased that the United States is acting to save our freshwater turtles," said Adkins Giese. "International protection from exploitation is vital for the survival of wild freshwater turtles across the country."
The list of species announced today by the Service contains three species of U.S. turtles being considered for CITES Appendix II, including the spotted turtle, Blanding's turtle and diamondback terrapin, all of which the Center recommended in its 2011 petition. When turtles are added to CITES Appendix II, their international trade is regulated by a system in which permits are issued only when trade has been determined to be nondetrimental to species survival. CITES-listed species are also subject to mandatory reporting requirements.
The Service, which has already received more than 25,000 comments supporting trade restrictions for the North American turtles, is opening another public comment period on its species proposals for the 16th meeting of the Conference of the Parties ("CoP16"), which will be held in March 2013 in Thailand.
The United States is a turtle biodiversity hotspot, home to more types of turtles than any other country in the world. As part of a campaign to protect this rich natural heritage, the Center in 2008 and 2009 petitioned states with unrestricted commercial turtle harvest to improve harvest regulations. In 2009 Florida responded by banning almost all commercial harvest of freshwater turtles from public and private waters; earlier this year Georgia approved state rules regulating the commercial harvest of turtles, while Alabama completely banned commercial harvests. The Center has also petitioned to list several species of imperiled freshwater turtles under the Endangered Species Act.
For more information about the Center's campaign to stop the amphibian and reptile extinction crisis, please visit http://BiologicalDiversity.org/herps.
The Center for Biological Diversity is a national, nonprofit conservation organization with more than 450,000 members and online activists dedicated to the protection of endangered species and wild places.

According to a December 31, 2013 filing with the Federal Election Commission, Yelp is set to open its own political action committee, or PAC. The PAC will allow the popular reviews site to collect money and distribute it to legislators as a way to influence policy.
In November, Yelp hired its first lobbyist, Laurent Crenshaw. In his official lobbying registration form filed in November 2013, the former House staffer said that he was interested in working on patent and copyright reform bills along with a potential federal-level anti-defamation (anti-SLAPP) bill.Other Silicon Valley firms have PACs too: Google's NETPAC is worth about $1 million, while Facebook's is worth about $200,000.
Yelp executives have also previously donated small amounts of money to political candidates and organizations.
Donation records also show that Luther Lowe, Yelp's director of public policy, donated $500 in August 2013 to a Republican congressional candidate from Arkansas. The company's vice president, Michael Ghaffary, donated $250 in January 2013 to "Americans for Responsible Solutions," a gun control nonprofit founded by former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ).
Traditionally, Silicon Valley has leaned toward the American political left in recent years, although it has a notable libertarian streak as well.

Between the Assassinations
A twelve-year-old boy named Ziauddin, a gofer at a tea shop near the railway station, is enticed into wrongdoing because a fair-skinned stranger treats him with dignity and warmth. George D'Souza, a mosquito-repellent sprayer, elevates himself to gardener and then chauffeur to the lovely, young Mrs. Gomes, and then loses it all when he attempts to be something more. A little girl's first act of love for her father is to beg on the street for money to support his drug habit. A privileged schoolboy sets off an explosive in a Jesuit-school classroom in protest against casteism. And the loneliest member of the Marxist-Maoist Party of India falls in love with the one young woman, in the poorest part of town, whom he cannot afford to wed.
A blinding, brilliant, and brave mosaic of Indian life as it is lived in a place called Kittur, Between the Assassinations, with all the humor, sympathy, and unflinching candor of The White Tiger, showcases the most beloved aspects of Aravind Adiga's writing to brilliant effect and enlarges our understanding of the world we live in today.
Ce que les critiques en disent
"With richly detailed descriptions of life in Kittur, from the cart puller to the journalist to the scion of the town's richest man, Adiga achieves in a dozen pages what many novels fail to do in hundreds: convincingly render individual desire, disappointment and survival. ... In many ways, the vignettes in Between the Assassinations flesh out the question at the heart of The White Tiger: Where is the justice in one man ruling another simply though the accident of his birth? ( San Francisco Chronicle)
"The hearts of his characters are where Adiga reveals the greatest depth and breadth, spanning the ages from youth to late maturity. ... Adiga creates these, and other distinctive characters, with the ease of a god, and deftly tells their sometimes comical, often tragic stories against the backdrop of an often corrupt, and sometimes lovely South Asian world." ( Dallas Morning News)

This is an important book by an important author who has already won a Booker prize. It captures the rich complexity of India on every level possible; no easy task. Adiga casts a keen eye towards social, political and economic injustices without a heavy hand. Rather, he creates a a deeply textured protagonist whose life tells us all we need to know about these larger issues from a personal and intimate viewpoint.
The success of this unabridged audio version is clearly the talent and skill of the narrator, Mr. Harsh Nayyar. Mr. Nayyar 's timing is always perfect, his voice captivating, his pronunciation perfect. He draws us into the story immediately, before we even become invested in the main character. He transforms the reading of audio books to the level of sheer art.

Fine Short Stories
This is a collection of short stories, not a novel with a single story line. Some of the negative reviewers seem unable to get over that point. Despite no plot line, the stories are linked together by place -- all are set in the fictional southwestern Indian town of Kittur. In this sense it's not unlike Dubliners or Winesburg, Ohio.
Aravind Adiga does an excellent job of creating believable and endearing, though not necessarily likeable, characters that represent a cross section of Indian society.
My only complaint is that it is unrelentingly grim, which again reminded me of Winesburg, Ohio. Nevertheless, I recommend it, especially to anyone interested in modern India.

Enjoyed these thoughtful stories very much, and particularly liked having a narrator with an appropriate accent, very clear to understand and hear, and read extremely well. I would recommend this book to anyone with an interest in compelling stories.

Boring & Disjointed
I downloaded this book since I enjoyed the authors previous book,White Tiger. This book is nothing like the first one. Extremely boring vingettes that take place in an obscure Indian village. A real torture to finish it.

Enough with the Indian Poor Already
This an aggregation of short stories about individuals struggling to survive in the Indian caste system. Mildly interesting but after "White Tiger" and "Sliumdog..." I have pretty much had it with descriptions of the underbelly of India. There are parts that are very funny; mostly because of the cursing and berating one another, but it is a generally depressing read. The reader becomes wearing and annoying too. Maybe that's the message but it's not a page turner. I bought it because of the $9.95 Audible promotion. I don't recommend it as either entertainment or information.

Compelling, but not pretty
I enjoyed the performance and the stories were compelling--AND they held together. However, the subject matter was hard to listen to. The poverty and the hatred--both toward self and others who are different was hard to hear.

India Revealed
The stories in this book appear to be well-writtten, realistic visions of the problems faced by lower caste people in India. While the images are convincing, the stories are uniformly morbid and difficult. Men and women alike are frustrated, sometimes corrupt, always in trouble. It is not a pleasure to listen to.

I had to force myself to finish this
Unless you have an interest or knowledge of the history of India, don't bother wasting a credit or your time. This was not entertaining. It was very raw and unpleasant (this, from someone for whom the F-Bomb is a part of life!). I listen to several books per week. It took me two weeks to struggle through this. I saw little point in the book and have no idea what appealed to me when I chose it. Don't make the same mistake. No stars is the harshest I have ever been.

There has been discussion originally posted in the Announcement & Feedback forum about the possibility of establishing a forum for people who have recovered substantially after spinal cord injury. I just changed the name of this forum to Exercise & Recovery. This should provide a place and "home" for members of CareCure who have recovered through exercise to post their experience and to discuss how they facilitated and maximized their recovery.
One question is whether and how to draw the line between exercise-induced "recovery" and "cure" of spinal cord injury. Some may argue that exercise is a form of therapy and cure. But, in some ways, it is different. A majority of people with "incomplete" spinal cord injury will recover without specific treatment to regenerate or remyelinate the spinal cord. There is ample evidence that intensive repetitive exercise such as treadmill walking and electrical stimulation assisted activity will restore function in people with spinal cord injury.
There was some concern that people might get the impression that exercise alone will restore function and some people may be disappointed exercise does not. Exercise is necessary for recovery but not always sufficient for recovery. In other words, for some people, particularly those with "incomplete" spinal cord injury, exercise will facilitate and even extend recovery. However, for some people exercise will restore function. That is why therapy is necessary. Note that "curative" therapies are likely to require exercise and training to maximize recovery.
People should continue to post about therapies and "cure" related discussion in the Cure Forum. Recovery that is exercise-related or non-therapeutically gained should be posted here. If there is confusion or this change does not help, we can always change it back. Thanks.

Reunion weekend features parties, classes, awards
Alumni whose class year ended in 3 or 8 invited to celebrate with classmates
Calling all 3s and 8s!
Undergraduate alumni whose class year ends in a 3 or an 8 are invited back to campus June 7 to 9 to celebrate their Reunion with family and friends.
The celebration kicks off with Friday night's all-class Fire and 'Deis Welcome Back Party, featuring a tapas-style dinner and dancing to live music under a tent on the Great Lawn. Saturday's lineup includes a conversation with President Fred Lawrence, the presentation of the 2013 Alumni Achievement Awards, the popular Ralph Norman Barbecue, class photos, an ice cream social at the Castle, campus tours and class dinners. A champagne brunch wraps up the festivities on Sunday morning.
In addition, Reunion committees for each class have been working since the fall to plan class-specific programs, including faculty presentations and talks, tours of the Rose Art Museum, family-friendly activities, a kickball game and more.
"This year's Reunion promises to be the best ever," says Leigh Creveling, director of alumni and university relations. "This will be our third Fire and 'Deis Welcome Back Party, and, if the past two are any indication, it will mark the start of another fun Reunion weekend."
Alumni and friends eager to relive the Brandeis classroom experience are invited to begin their weekend Friday morning at Alumni College, a one-day series of classes and presentations by some of Brandeis' most beloved faculty. Reunion attendees are entitled to a discounted registration fee.
Chris Bedford, the Henry and Lois Foster Director of the Rose Art Museum, will kick off this year's program with a presentation entitled "Art Inside Out." He will also lead museum tours on Saturday afternoon. According to Sharon Rosenberg '00, director of alumni and university relations, "Chris will share his vision for the Rose, highlight current exhibitions and discuss the significant role the museum has played in shaping the academic, cultural and social life of Brandeis."
There are six additional classes throughout the day: Voice for Life: Refresh, Renew, Rejuvenate; Who's Afraid of Assimilation?; The Making of "An Accident of Hope": The Therapy Tapes of Anne Sexton; Influences of Age and Culture on Memory; Private Media, Public Obligation: Profit and the Fourth Estate; and What Makes Us Like The Foods That We Like?
Additional Reunion programs include an Alumni of Color reception, an open house at the Hiatt Career Center, Ollie's Family Fun in Chapels Field and a student-led panel discussion entitled "Brandeis Today."
Alumni Achievement Awards will be presented during a conversation with President Lawrence on Saturday morning. Bonnie Berger '83, professor of applied mathematics and the first woman to earn tenure in the math department of MIT; Jon Landau '68, renowned music manager, record producer and manager of rock legend Bruce Springsteen; and Robert Zimmer '68, president of the University of Chicago, will each receive the highest recognition bestowed exclusively on alumni for their distinguished contributions to their chosen fields of endeavor.

It's a new year and the start of the cycling season is just around the corner. Now is the time to improve your performance and make this your best season ever.
To do this, consider hiring a coach. It's an important consideration because an effective coach can provide you with three benefits: knowledge, objectivity and inspiration.
More: 7 Things to Consider Before Hiring a Coach
Experienced cycling coaches have a tremendous amount of knowledge. This can be helpful because competitive cycling is a complex sport. There are many variables that impact your success including the bike itself, bike fit, position on the bike, bike handling, year-round training regimen, diet, motivation, rest and recovery, choice of racing discipline and race selection.
A good coach can be very helpful when it comes to developing a training plan, improving your cycling skills and dealing with problems such as performance plateaus.
More: 10 Tips for Finding the Right Coach
Objectivity is another benefit of coaching. A coach can objectively diagnose problems that are impacting your performance. For example, if you are struggling during the season, you may have difficulty determining the cause of the problem, but it might be clear to your coach.
He might notice you're not resting enough, or may recognize the need for a diet modification. Even more commonly, your coach may point out your expectations are unrealistic for your current stage of development. With their impartial perspectives, coaches can often discern issues athletes overlook.
Third, a coach can be a great source of inspiration. Never underestimate the tremendous psychological benefit an effective coach can provide. No matter how dedicated and committed you are, sooner or later, you'll need some inspiration. Cycling is a very difficult sport and there are numerous obstacles every cyclist must face. These include injury, illness, difficult training and racing conditions, uncertainty and a lack of confidence, especially when things are not going well.
A coach can help motivate you during these difficult times. She can be a source of strength, a shoulder to cry on, a sounding board and a friend. A coach will also hold you accountable. You may buy the excuses you make but a good coach never will.

WORCESTER—The Police Department has released the motorcade route for President Barack Obama's visit to the city Wednesday. The city will have more than 250 officers on duty for the visit, at a cost of about $100,000.
Police Chief Gary J. Gemme said he hopes release of the motorcade route will prompt motorists to avoid the area, cutting down on traffic jams.
City Manager Edward M. Augustus Jr. said this afternoon that Mr. Obama will leave Worcester via helicopter to attend a 7 p.m. event in Weston. The president will head back to Worcester Regional Airport and depart at 8:20 p.m. for his return to Washington, according to the White House. The White House previously disclosed that Mr. Obama would attend a Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee event in Greater Boston.
Air Force One is to land at Worcester Regional Airport at 3:20 p.m., according to the White House, and then the presidential motorcade will take Pleasant Street east to Newton Square. From there the president will take Highland Street into Lincoln Square.
The last portion of the route involves a quick trip on Major Taylor Boulevard until the motorcade reaches the DCU Center.
Mr. Obama will be the main speaker at Worcester Technical High School's graduation. The ceremony is slated to start at 4 p.m.
Chief Gemme said this morning the motorcade route will be shut to regular traffic at 2:30 p.m. and stay closed until sometime around 6 p.m.
The road closures will cause some fans attending four high school baseball and softball state tournament games (3, 4, 5 and 7 p.m.) at Worcester State University to take alternate routes. While Chandler Street will be open, it will be cut off from some parts of the city.
Cross traffic will be allowed once the president reaches the DCU Center. There are more than five major intersections on the route, including Park Avenue.
"We're just not going to allow people to travel the presidential motorcade route once the president arrives," Chief Gemme said. "Our objective is we want the public to know and people aware of the times the motorcade route is going to be closed. We are trying to minimize the inconvenience to the public and at the same time provide the security requested by the Secret Service."
More than 250 Worcester police officers will be involved in the security efforts.
Chief Gemme said a full complement of officers will be working to handle all types of calls throughout the city.
The cost for police resources involved in Mr. Obama's visit is about $100,000 – a cost that is being absorbed by the Police Department, according to the chief.
"The presidential visit puts the Worcester community in the national spotlight. We believe that the presidential visit is a positive for the city," Chief Gemme said. "It is certainly a strong recognition of the quality education taking place at the Worcester Technical High School."
This afternoon, seniors at Worcester Technical High School will be at the DCU Center for a graduation rehearsal.
Officials have distributed about 5,600 tickets for the event, which will be held in the main arena of the DCU Center.

I think I finally found the right place to post this.
I am simply trying to go from one slide to the next slide using a timer within a slide document in Flash 8.
The behaviors I can attach are great for interaction like, go to next slide, and go to first slide, but how do I get any of those behaviors to trigger based on a timer, using action script, instead of navigating from slide to slide triggered by the action of the user?
The client wants an auto slideshow on the front page of the site, and I am freaking out.

The Best CGI Animated Films Ever Made
List Rules Features made entirely utilizing computer animation. No live action films with animated sequences.
Can Wall-E beat Toy Story? This list of the best computer-animated movies ever made many finally answer that question. Though it is far-reaching and includes films representing a variety of studios, nations and animation styles, it's undeniable that tastes seem to overwhelming lean towards the work of two studios in particular: Disney's Pixar Animation Studio and DreamWorks Animation. Pixar, in particular, tends to dominate the public's perception of contemporary animation style and form. This is unsuprising in some ways, considering the studio's track record for popular event films, and the fact that they initially popularized the idea of computer-animated features with Toy Story in 1995.
CGI stands for computer-generated imagery. Computer animation dates back to the 1940s and 1950s, though in this era the technique was relatively experimental. There are rare examples of the use of computer animation (often then called "computer graphics") in mainstream film and TV projects, notably the opening credit sequence of Alfred Hitchcock's film Vertigo. By the 1970s, more films - including George Lucas' Star Wars - were finding ways to utilize computer animation within the context of other, more practical special effects. (The 3D models of the Death Star, for example.)
By the early 1990s, computer animated sequences were popularly being used within live-action films to create characters that would not otherwise be possible, such as the Jurassic Park dinosaurs or the liquid metal antagonist of Terminator 2: Judgement Day. It was not until Pixar released Toy Story in 1995, however, that the world got to see a completely computer-animated feature. The genre has been massively popular ever since, with a number of the highest-grossing American films each year being entirely computer-animated. In 2012, Pixar released its 13th feature animated film, "Brave."
What are the best CGI animated movies? This list will answer that question.[Click here for a more complete list of all computer-animated films.]

I have two Halloween related lessons coming your way and because I love this holiday, I wanted to make a couple of new or updated versions of tutorials that I have on the site already. To kick things off, I am going to show ya'll "how to draw a Halloween ghost", step by step. The ghost is probably one of the most popular figures that symbolizes Halloween along with witches, cats, vampires, pumpkins, and other monsters from fictional tales and stories. When drawing a ghost there is a few ways to develop a look. If you are going for an all-around basic ghost design or concept, all you have to do is draw something that looks like it belongs in a children's Halloween coloring book. If you are the type that likes scary, or ghoulish ghosts, than your best bet is to conjure up a mental image of how you want your ghost to looks, and start drawing it on paper. Then there is the children's or cute ghost. This is a concept that can be replicated from Casper's looks but twisted in your own way or creation. There is so many ways to design your figure, and for me I decided that a spooky or threatening ghost would do just right. So have fun as you tackle this submission and I will be back in no time at all. Peace out !
DragoArt members upload artwork and drawing tutorials! They are also allowed to leave comments on tutorials, profiles, etc. Many more features, as well; it's way better than just being a boring guest! Register Now!

text: The great Gianna Michaels has what some would consider to be the greatest tits in porn today. They're all natural, they're huge, and year after glorious year, they somehow manage to resist gravity's pull. But there's more to Gianna's impressive popularity than just a nice rack! Part of what makes every one of Gianna's scenes so damn captivating is her intense energy and raw sex appeal. There are some things that you just can't fake, and Gianna's certainly got that 'it factor." Gianna didn't always know she would end up as one of the biggest porn stars in the world, though! In fact, she was working a regular old nine to five job when she was approached to try out some modeling. Regular modeling soon lead to nude modeling, which soon lead to solo videos, and before too long, the world had the big titted babe that we all know and love! Now, with four AVN Awards and counting under her belt, Gianna Michaels is here to stay!

Amtrak officials are getting ready to launch a six-month experiment to see whether pets should be allowed aboard the passenger trains.
Beginning next month, small pets will be allowed to travel on the Illinois Zephyr and Carl Sandburg lines between Chicago and Quincy.
The rules would be similar to those for cats and dogs that travel inside airplanes: the animals must weigh 20 pounds or less and be in certain types of carriers. The animals would need to be placed under a seat or at their owners' feet.
Amtrak officials said the animals would only be allowed on stations in Chicago, Naperville and Galesburg and owners would have to pay $25 for the animal. Advance reservations would be required.
If the project is a success, the effort could be expanded.

Norah Jones on the Death of Her Father Ravi Shankar
Jazz and pop singer Norah Jones had a distant relationship with her father, sitar master Ravi Shankar, but with his passing yesterday at the age of 92, she's speaking out about the power of his music.
"My Dad's music touched millions of people. He will be greatly missed by me and music lovers everywhere," Jones said in a statement to Speakeasy.
Jones is the daughter of Shankar and American Sue Jones, and was born in New York City, before later moving to Texas.
Shankar played virtually no role in Jones's life when she was growing up, but she's long been aware of his musical influence.

A christian friend of mine has issued this challenge to re-read Genesis as a document rather than a religious book:
"But if you read Genesis as described you may see that I am talking about another angle completely, I am not referring to God beingall around us, hidden in the open, plain to see when you are aware, I am actually talking about a different system, people group, thing etc that is still with us here today, (literally everywhere).
I mentioned the bible because it gives a very accurate account of genealogy, etc that can trace certain peoples etc...and high lights what we see around us every day. (Not talking about creation, or things to do with the fall of man, there is an even bigger agenda here)
The scientific, historical and archeological evidence that I refer to is not from any Christian source, it is independent information that I have managed to research from many sources over the years none of them being Christian in origin, but... they still tie perfectly together."
What does this mean and where do I start with this?
Views: 488
Like it...
Btw, the Flood story showed up first in 'Gilgamesh'. Even down to packing up the animals and sending out the birds.
The guy is just talking arse I could note all the points our friends have made but it wouldn't help. To convince a xian or any of the other religions of the truth they need to be willing to be convinced. A bit like an alcoholic or drug addict having to accept their addiction.
Besides all of this it sounds like he is just trying to bamboozle you with a load of crap. As i for one couldn't really see the point of his argument. Did he say all of this to you in a hushed voice? As he is seeing patterns where their are none.
Your friend's writing sounds ominous and pregnant with purpose, but doesn't actually seem to say anything.
I am actually talking about a different system, people group, thing etc that is still with us here today, (literally everywhere)
Well, which is it? A system? A people or group? A thing? And its "everywhere?" What the hell does that mean?
...gives a very accurate account of genealogy
Really? How do you know it's accurate? According to what source? The Bible itself, perhaps? Just because it bears a list of names doesn't mean it is accurate, in fact I doubt there is a shred of independent evidence that supports those genealogies.
The scientific, historical and archeological evidence...
Make him show you. Chances are he will produce purported evidence of a world wide flood. You can skip right over it -- how is that evidence for a 6-day creation? Or man created whole from nothing? Or woman coming from a rib? Or talking snakes? Yes, parts of the earth that are now dry land used to be covered with water. Brilliant observation. Science has an extremely detailed understanding of this history, and the mechanisms behind it. And Genesis is still just a poorly-assembled mostly borrowed mythology.
In the end, you don't have to take the bait. Just keep asking your questions, and remain happily unconvinced. It isn't incumbent upon you to defend or debate anything. He's the one chasing Leprechauns.
Not to flog a dead horse, as I can see many people have already commented on this, but your friend has not provided any supporting evidence in the statements you posted. He/she merely mentioned their opinion of Genesis in a way that sounded influencing to those with scientific/secular perspectives. Also, I don't know how the Bible could provide accurate evidence of ANYTHING since it has no author and each version of the Bible counters its own claims, not to mention John, Luke, Mathew, and Mark couldn't agree on the same sighting when Jesus "escaped his tomb", so how can anything be taken as viable?
Hardly seems surprising. Magical thinking can lead you down some incredibly strange paths. Would be interested to know what other things your friend dips his toe into.
when confronted with biblical literacy and authentication (etc) I always take a more philosophical approach, for instance, for arguement's sake the entire bible is true, the morals depicted are nothing short of melevolence.
So if my morals don't match his morals how am I created in his image?
I find that breaking it down into philosophical concepts like that it negates any validity to biblical claims as my morals or that of a well raised two year old has a better moral system.
Also, I love "well Troy as written in the Illiad was proven to exist, but no cyclopse skeletons"
(this applies primarily to the judeo christian version of god...mind you....

Ousted president Hosni Mubarak and his family will pay back around $3 million for gifts they received from a state newspaper while he was still in office, after a settlement agreement announced by prosecutors Wednesday.
The settlement resolves a side case that opened against the 84-year-old Mubarak just as he was granted a retrial last week on charges of a role in killing protesters in the 2011 uprising that led to his downfall.
Last summer, Mubarak was convicted and sentence to life in prison for failing to stop the killings. But a court last week threw out the conviction because of shoddy procedures.
Mubarak, currently held in a military hospital, is not expected to walk free pending his new trial. Lawyers say once a trial date is set, the court can decide whether to free him during the procedures, but that is seen as unlikely considering the highly charged political nature of the charges.
Mubarak was the first Arab leader who stepped down in the wave of protests across the region to face trial, appear in a defendant's cage and be slapped with a life sentence. He is also the first Arab leader to be tried by his own people.
The trial of Mubarak for his role in the death of nearly 900 protesters during the 18-day uprising against him has left many of the former leader's detractors unsatisfied because they sought to have him tried for his nearly 30 years of autocratic rule.
They charge that in his reign, Mubarak has amassed extensive wealth in the forms of properties, palaces, land plots and bank accounts in local and foreign currencies. Switzerland has frozen some Mubarak assets, but his real wealth has remained a mystery.
The cases of the gifts emerged just days before the appeal court decision. The gifts — including watches, bags and jewelry — were a traditional show of loyalty by the Al-Ahram daily. The received gifts by the Mubarak family were only between 2006 and 2011.
Mubarak was questioned about the gifts on Saturday, and ordered put under detention for 15 days pending further interrogations.
Attorney general Mustafa Hussein said Wednesday he accepted an offer from Mubarak's lawyer to settle the case over the gifts. The money — 18 million Egyptian pounds, the equivalent of just under $3 million — would go back to Al-Ahram.
Some 23 of 26 other officials who received gifts from the same newspaper have also settled, Hussein said.

UnNews:My damn TV won't work
This article is part of UnNews, your source for up-to-the-microsecond misinformation.
15 June 2009
Lancaster, PA -- My name is Wilford Pissbritches and I'm 74 years old. I've got a bone to pick with you long-haired hippy kids. I've had this TV for as long as I can remember, and now, the goddamned thing won't work worth shit! All I get is some snowy crap, these little white dots and speckles all over this black background. The hell's wrong with this thing?
I am a widowed retired 'Nam veteran and McDonald's cashier, and the shit I go through ain't nothing compared to this hippy-happy nonsense. I tried bringing in my TV to Uncle Charlie's Salvage Emporium, only to find out that old Charlie had been dead for eight years and his grandson owns the store now. He's some spiky-haired punk named Fizz Chesterfield. He told me I need some fancy whoozits and whatzits, and I didn't know what in Sam Hill he was jawin' about.
Cost darn near $40, too, near a weeks wages!
I don't wanna mess with some hippy gadgets, and I really miss the three channels I used to watch every night and every day. I'd come home from a long work day and turn on some Dick Van Dyke and Lawrence Welk. I don't need no remotes or cable or any of that baloney! I just want my three damn channels -- NBC, CBS, and ABC. I don't care for Fox that much, except when I'm watching House. That doctor guy looks like my doctor. Dr. Jones ain't cheap, either. He charges 'bout $20,000 per visit, and I'm lucky I got VA and MediCare and all that good stuff to pay for it all.
I think I'm getting off topic here, but the doc says my 'Heimers is getting bad. Let's see, where was I? Oh yeah, my damn TV. My pa bought it for me, I think, back in '52. Or no, I bought it, when color came out. Back then, we had only one channel, it was WWII-TV in, Utah, I think. No, it was New York, or somewhere. Wait, I didn't move to New York because it was too damn expensive. My first wife, Ethel, went, though. When in the Sam Hill did I get this TV?!!
I went to my friend - Murray? Abraham? No...oh, that actor F. Murray Abraham (you know, that guy from Amadeus) -- and only F. Murray Abraham had a working TV. He told me about some "converter box" hippy nonsense, but I thought he was smoking a toke.
Now I'm stuck here in my retirement home without a damn TV to watch. Maybe I'm quaint, but I don't wanna mess around with all the computerized nonsense; it's too scary for me. In fact, I'm writing this on a 1974 typewriter and having some hippy kid transfer it to computer. If anybody can help me get my TV to work, feel free to come down to the Jessica Alba Assisted Living Center for Retired Persons and ask for Wilford, they'll know who I am. They're nice, but they wake me up when I'm taking my nap. And I hate the apple sauce and medicine they give me every Tuesday at 5:00.
I want my damn TV.

- Nearly 4 million apparently accidental calls were made to emergency call centers in 2010
- That's more than one-third of some 11 million emergency calls made in New York each year
- Authorities say it is an increased burden on emergency response systems
A "pocket dial" mistake can result in an unwanted phone call, annoying for the recipient and potentially embarrassing to the caller.
But a new study found a staggering number of those apparently accidental calls in New York City are made to emergency responders, jamming up 911 lines in a city that has prided itself on its ability to respond in a crisis.
Nearly 4 million of those calls were made to the city's emergency call centers in 2010, according to a recent Winbourne Consulting report, commissioned by the city after a massive blizzard delayed first responders and left Mayor Michael Bloomberg open to criticism.
That's more than one-third of some 11 million emergency calls made in New York each year, the study found, which was released Friday.
Those calls were 19 seconds or less.
Authorities determined that they were likely accidental and say unnecessary communications add an increased burden on emergency response systems.
"The increased proliferation of cellular telephones has caused a dramatic increase in the number of accidental 911 calls made," the report said.
In 2011, the Federal Communications Commission issued a report estimating that 70% of all 911 calls -- intentional or mistaken -- were made from wireless devices.
The consulting firm recommended implementing a citywide information campaign to alert the public of the issue and to streamline systems between the police and fire departments, among other recommendations.

(CMT Offstage keeps a 24/7 watch on everything that's happening with country music artists behind the scenes and out of the spotlight.)
"No matter how crazy life gets, I get to go home to a good man." That's what Kellie Pickler said about her new single, "Someone Somewhere Tonight." But really, it could be true about her run on Dancing With the Stars, too. She scored a perfect 10 this week and is heading into next week's finals starting Monday (May 20). She'll have to dance the cha-cha again and told CMT Radio the music's very fast pace makes it hard to stay connected to partner Derek Hough on that one. "We are gonna glue our hips together if we have to," she said, sounding determined to win. But as for that new song, Pickler explained why it means so much to her. "It's about cherishing every moment we have together and never taking it for granted. I'm so blessed that I found that missing puzzle piece," Pickler said, adding that the line in the song about being stuck in a prison makes her think of her father and of her own personal prison in her mind that has blocked her from happiness. The album isn't all deep thoughts, though. She promises it will have fun Kellie Pickler songs on it, too. "I've got a lot to say," she said. "I'm a woman."

As the great research ship Chikyu left Shimizu in January to mine the explosive ice beneath the Philippine Sea, chances are good that not one of the scientists aboard realized they might be closing the door on Winston Churchill's world. Their lack of knowledge is unsurprising; beyond the ranks of petroleum-industry historians, Churchill's outsize role in the history of energy is insufficiently appreciated.
Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill was appointed First Lord of the Admiralty in 1911. With characteristic vigor and verve, he set about modernizing the Royal Navy, jewel of the empire. The revamped fleet, he proclaimed, should be fueled with oil, rather than coal—a decision that continues to reverberate in the present. Burning a pound of fuel oil produces about twice as much energy as burning a pound of coal. Because of this greater energy density, oil could push ships faster and farther than coal could.
Churchill's proposal led to emphatic dispute. The United Kingdom had lots of coal but next to no oil. At the time, the United States produced almost two-thirds of the world's petroleum; Russia produced another fifth. Both were allies of Great Britain. Nonetheless, Whitehall was uneasy about the prospect of the Navy's falling under the thumb of foreign entities, even if friendly. The solution, Churchill told Parliament in 1913, was for Britons to become "the owners, or at any rate, the controllers at the source of at least a proportion of the supply of natural oil which we require." Spurred by the Admiralty, the U.K. soon bought 51 percent of what is now British Petroleum, which had rights to oil "at the source": Iran (then known as Persia). The concessions' terms were so unpopular in Iran that they helped spark a revolution. London worked to suppress it. Then, to prevent further disruptions, Britain enmeshed itself ever more deeply in the Middle East, working to install new shahs in Iran and carve Iraq out of the collapsing Ottoman Empire.

Eshan Patel
Class of 2013
Major/Minor: Biology and Psychology / Chemistry
Eshan Patel '13 attended a high school twice the size of Washington College. So he appreciated the family atmosphere of the John S. Toll Science Center, where he honed skills in the lab, served the local community, and developed into a campus leader.
As a John S. Toll Science and Mathematics Fellow, Eshan studied the toxic effects of chronic exposure to heavy metal compounds, which is a risk factor for multiple chronic morbidities. With the support of his mentor Dr. Mindy Reynolds, Eshan published two first-author peer-reviewed articles while at Washington College. Among several other accomplishments, Eshan was committed to creating a supportive and collaborative community among pre-health professionals. He developed the organization Health Occupations Students of America to provide like-minded students an opportunity to serve the local community, discuss the latest biomedical discoveries, and promote public health education.
At commencement, Eshan was the recipient of the Gold Pentagon Award and the Clark-Porter Medal. The Gold Pentagon recipient is selected by Omicron Delta Kappa leadership honor society for outstanding service to the College. The Clark-Porter Medal is awarded to "the student whose character and personal integrity, in the opinion of the faculty, have most clearly enhanced the quality of campus life." His scientific accomplishments also garnered him the CRC Press Chemistry Achievement Award and the Biology Department Research Award.
After graduation, Eshan completed an NIH post-baccalaureate research fellowship at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, supported by an Intramural Research Training Award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID). He studied the international epidemiology and pathogenesis of HIV and its co-infections under the mentorship of Dr. Thomas C. Quinn, MD, MSc, Chief of the International HIV/STD Section of the Laboratory of Immunoregulation, NIAID, NIH.
Eshan subsequently obtained a Master of Public Health degree with a concentration in Epidemiological & Biostatistical Methods for Public Health & Clinical Research from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. He is passionate about the development, implementation and evaluation of evidence-based interventions aimed to improve both individual and community health, especially among underserved populations.

In the previous section, we've set-up a simple environment containing a clustered Tomcat instances and HAProxy for load balancing. In this section, we will test our load balancing environment and explore various strategies to improve our setup.

Load Balancing
Default SetupAfter downloading and installing Tomcat and HAProxy, we will now test the default load balancing
Open a browser and visit the following link:
It should display the following page:
Notice we did not indicate any port. By default the browser will use port 80 for HTTP requests. The previous link is equivalent to:
This means HAProxy is able to redirect our requests from port 80 to the Tomcat instances. If we check the HAProxy logs, we can see that the requests is redirected to tomcat1:
localhost haproxy[4530]: 127.0.0.1:42377 [06/Oct/2011:07:50:57.054] http-in servers/tomcat1 0/0/0/2/28421 200 25030 - - --NN 0/0/0/0/0 0/0 "GET / HTTP/1.1"
Let's pretend that tomcat1 has failed by shutting it down manually. To shutdown tomcat1, run the following command:
sudo /usr/local/tomcat-7.0.21-server1/bin/shutdown.sh
HAProxy's stats page should display that tomcat1 is dead. To display the stats page, open a browser, and visit the following link:
Now, let's check if we can still access the main page. Open a browser and visit the previous link:
You should see the following page:
Notice the web page is still available! It means HAProxy is able to redirect our request from an inactive server to an active one.
If we check the HAProxy logs, it shows that our request has been redirected to tomcat2:
localhost haproxy[4530]: 127.0.0.1:56619 [06/Oct/2011:07:58:17.761] http-in servers/tomcat2 17/0/0/2/27825 200 13075 - - --NN 0/0/0/0/0 0/0 "GET / HTTP/1.1"
Let's turn off tomcat2. This means all our servers are down! Visit the localhost page again, and we should get the following response:
The web page is down! HAProxy's stat page shows that the Backend servers are down:
Sharing Sessions
If we are serving a web page that holds session information we assume that information is still available regardless if tomcat1 or tomcat2 is down.
Imagine a shopping cart. You're selecting items in a page. Behind the scenes the server you're working at has crashed. You expect the original shopping cart information is still intact. Otherwise, you'll start again from scratch.
Let's verify this behavior by examining the sample applications within the Tomcat examples directory. These examples are built-in to Tomcat when we initially installed it.
Before we proceed, please make sure your environment is as follows:
|Tomcat 1
|Tomcat 2
The open up a browser, and visit the following page:
This is what you should see:
This application is one of the built-in examples included in the Tomcat installation. In my computer, this application resides at:
I'm going to examine the session ID returned by this page by using Google Chrome's Developer Tools (see http://code.google.com/chrome/devtools/). Here's an actual screenshot:
The session ID reads 697E0084595762C85952E2AFEB7B56FD. If you're running this guide with an actual Tomcat, your session ID will vary.
Now, let's change our environment. Before we proceed, make sure this is your environment:
|Tomcat 1
|Tomcat 2
Open up a browser, and visit the following page again:
It should display the same page still. Let's examine the session ID returned by this second request:
The session ID reads E501914ABC8DD2F2EC82A4B5123B51AA in the Response Header section; whereas it reads 697E0084595762C85952E2AFEB7B56FD in the Request Header section.
If we refresh the page, the Request Header now has E501914ABC8DD2F2EC82A4B5123B51AA and the original session ID 697E0084595762C85952E2AFEB7B56FD is gone forever. This means when we shutdown tomcat2, the session ID is not transferred from tomcat1.
Although we're seeing the same page, we're actually operating in different sessions. Imagine if this is a shopping cart. Suddenly, all your orders are gone! Time to file a support ticket!
How do we resolve this issue? The solution is simple. Enable session sharing. How? We follow the instructions given in the Apache Tomcat 7' Clustering/Session Replication HOW-TO reference.
Configure Tomcat to Share Sessions
The key to enable session sharing is to declare two XML elements: one in your application's web.xml (1) and the other in Tomcat's server.xml (2):
1. <distributable>
2. <Cluster className="org.apache.catalina.ha.tcp.SimpleTcpCluster">
Let's declare those two XML elements in our "Hello World SimpleTag Handler" example. It's important that we declare those two elements in all our Tomcat instances where our application resides.
Let's do that now.
1. Go to your Tomcat 1's directory, and find the examples directory. In my computer, the directory is:
2. Under WEB-INF, open web.xml and declare a <distributable> element. Place it just above the filter elements. See screenshot below:
3. Next, edit the server.xml. In my computer, this translates to
Declare a <Cluster className="org.apache.catalina.ha.tcp.SimpleTcpCluster"> element.
Place this element just below the Engine element. See screenshot below:
We've configured tomcat1. Now, configure tomcat2 by repeating the same steps.
Retest Session Sharing
After configuring both Tomcat instances, we need to restart them so that the changes will take effect.
Now, update your environment, and make sure it follows this scenario:
|Tomcat 1
|Tomcat 2
Open a browser and visit the following page:
Using Google Chrome's Developer Tools, the session ID is 16E9D9B83CFF02196DBC794CE3E0AB3D
Update your environment, and make sure it follows this scenario:
|Tomcat 1
|Tomcat 2
Again, open a browser and visit the following page again:
Using Google Chrome's Developer Tools, the session ID reads 16E9D9B83CFF02196DBC794CE3E0AB3D
Notice we have the same session ID!. This means our session information has been successfully retained and reused across our Tomcat instances.
Session Sharing Caveat
Everything seems fine now. However, I want to emphasize an important requirement with session sharing. To understand what I meant, let's run another built-in example application.
Open a browser, and visit the following page:
It should display a shopping cart:
Try adding an item. Immediately, an exception will be thrown:
The exception reads:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: setAttribute: Non-serializable attribute cart
Why are we getting this error? If we study the Tomcat 7 reference for clustering, we will find the following information:
To run session replication in your Tomcat 7.0 container, the following steps should be completed:
- All your session attributes must implement java.io.Serializable
- Uncomment the Cluster element in server.xml
- Make sure your web.xml has the
Source: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-7.0-doc/cluster-howto.html
The reference is telling us to ensure that our session attributes are serializable! Based on the error message, our cart is not serializable.
Let's examine the source code of this cart class. You can find the source code within your Tomcat examples folder. In my computer, this translates to:
Here's the source code:
To make this class serializable, we just implement the java.io.Serializable class as follows:
You can compile this by yourself. Or you can download my patched version of DummyCart.class (click here to download). To use this patch, follow these steps:
- Go to your Tomcat examples directory. In my computer this translates to:
- Replace the old DummyCart.class with the patched version. Alternatively, rename the old one instead of deleting it.
- Repeat the previous steps to all your Tomcat instances.
- Restart all Tomcat instances.
If we check the HAProxy logs, our request went to tomcat2
http-in servers/tomcat2 890/0/0/6/30760 304 3109 - - --NN 0/0/0/0/0 0/0 "GET /examples/jsp/sessions/carts.html HTTP/1.1"
The session ID is 84061AA7EF1EF6CADE7489113700481E as shown in the Google Developer tool (I have omitted the screenshot).
Let's turn off tomcat2 and add a new item in the shopping cart.
You should be able to add a new item:
HAProxy logs show that we're now using tomcat1 instance:
http-in servers/tomcat1 0/0/0/35/34234 200 2924 - - --IN 0/0/0/0/0 0/0 "GET /examples/jsp/sessions/carts.jsp?item=Switch+blade&submit=add HTTP/1.1"
Our session ID is still 84061AA7EF1EF6CADE7489113700481E as shown in the Google Developer tool:
Try switching servers off and on. Just make sure there's at least one server running. Notice the session ID never changes.
Next Section
We've successfully implemented load balancing using HAProxy and session sharing among our Tomcat instances. We've learned how to troubleshoot session IDs by using Google Chrome's Developer Tools. In the next secion, we will configure HAProxy logging so that we can easily troubleshoot problems arising from this tool. Click here to proceed.
