You saw in the DataNucleus JDO Tutorial how to configure a sample application for persisting to RDBMS. We took sample classes of Inventory , Book and its parent Product and showed
In that tutorial we used an RDBMS datastore (HSQLDB for the downloadable sample). This tutorial shows how easy it is to change that to persist that very same data to a different datastore. In this case we choose ODF, but could have chosen any of the other datastores supported by DataNucleus
What if we want to persist that same data to a spreadsheet like ODF (OpenOffice) ? Well the changes necessary are minimal. In fact, for Part 1 of that tutorial we simply change the URL of the datastore in datanucleus.properties , like this
and then put datanucleus-odf and ODFDOM in the CLASSPATH and run it!!!
If we move on to the second part of that tutorial we can also control the worksheet and column names used by ODF, as well as the positions in the worksheet of each column. So let's define a file package-odf.orm
<orm> <package name="org.datanucleus.samples.jdo.tutorial"> <class name="Inventory" table="Inventories"> <field name="name"> <column name="Name" length="100"/> </field> <field name="products"/> </class> <class name="Product" table="Products"> <extension vendor-name="datanucleus" key="include-column-headers" value="true"/> <inheritance strategy="complete-table"/> <field name="id"> <column name="Id" position="0"/> </field> <field name="name"> <column name="Name" position="1"/> </field> <field name="description"> <column name="Description" position="2"/> </field> <field name="price"> <column name="Price" position="3"/> </field> </class> <class name="Book" table="Books"> <extension vendor-name="datanucleus" key="include-column-headers" value="true"/> <inheritance strategy="complete-table"/> <field name="Product.id"> <column name="Id" position="0"/> </field> <field name="author"> <column name="Author" position="4"/> </field> <field name="isbn"> <column name="ISBN" position="5"/> </field> <field name="publisher"> <column name="Publisher" position="6"/> </field> </class> </package> </orm>
With ODF the only inheritance strategy supported currently is complete-table so we use that, and we will have 3 worksheets in our spreadsheet, one called Inventories , one called Products and one called Books . We have defined the column names to be with capital letter etc, so they will look nice in the spreadsheet, and that both worksheets will have column headers included. We also set the relative positions of the columns. Finally we set this property to pick up the mapping info
When we run it we get a spreadsheet like this
As you can see, with very minimal changes, we can make our tutorial persist the data to an ODF spreadsheet. In fact we have not changed any model code, nor any persistence code and simply defined how it will be mapped to the spreadsheet. This flexibility and portability is not available with any other persistence tool .

Software Control of Home Automation Systems
Last year I presented a talk on home automation at OSCON, focusing on the hardware aspects. This year my home automation talk will cover the software aspects of controlling home automation systems; topics include:o Software control of electrical devices in the home, e.g. lights, motors, appliances, bells o Detection of light conditions, e.g. dusk, dawn o Detection of motion o Collection of telephone caller-id information and its dissemination o Using a wireless remote to activate computer programs o Scheduling home automation tasks using cron o Monitoring activity and taking secondary actions o Writing scripts to simplify home automation tasks
Practical applications include turning off all the lights at night, summoning everyone for mealtime, and broadcasting caller-id
information to all computers. The talk will cover the use of the 'heyu' open source home automation program. Examples will include the
creation of 'bash'-based stand-alone scripts, background daemons, and cron additions.

eadgyth, I wish you a safe journey and look forward to meet you there. I will also use the train but I'm already going to Ludwigsburg tomorrow afternoon after work.
In Ludwigsburg you will meet some other big Moya fans who are also in the forum or just read the forum. A couple from Hesse I met 4 years ago in Dresden. The two I met also in Aachen last Sunday. And Simi, a froum member, and her husband will also be there. I like it to meet people from the forum or people I have met before at Moya's concerts.

News and notes from around the world of sports video gaming:
• Nearly every title at EA Sports is being put to a cover vote. We've had contests now for Tiger Woods PGA Tour, NFL Blitz, Madden and NCAA Football. We haven't heard what NBA Live will be doing, but it's a good bet whatever it has in mind won't take as long as the NHL 13, which seems to mimic the span of the NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs. This vote has now reached the quarterfinals, with Claude Giroux vs, Anze "Der" Kopitar and Scott Hartnell in one half of the bracket. Pavel Datsyuk vs. John Tavares and Henrik Lunqvist vs. Pekka Rinne are in the other. Vote here. The winner won't be declared for another month, the June 20 NHL Awards in Las Vegas.
• Pastapadre, sports video gaming's bloodhound, notes that we are still a long ways off from a patch for MLB 2K12. This is significant because we didn't—couldn't—get one from its March release through the end of April because of the Million-Dollar Perfect Game Challenge. 2K Sports couldn't alter the gameplay or the structure of the game while the contest was in place because of, who knows, legal restrictions or something. The same kind of legal restrictions that couldn't prevent contestants from cheating in the qualifying round, and did prevent 2K from weeding them out or even discussing the controversy. While a patch still is in the works, it hasn't yet cleared internal reviews, and then it must pass Microsoft's certification. So don't expect it for another couple weeks, I'd say. [Pastapadre]
• Speaking of covers, we forgot to give you the official Madden NFL 13 box art featuring Calvin Johnson, who I correctly, properly and admirably predicted as the overall winner a month before the vote-off began. Here it is.

Sister Joan Chittister famously said, "We are each called to go through life reclaiming the planet an inch at a time until the Garden of Eden grows green again." Reflecting on that journey -- a blog at a time -- is the focus of this site.

Let's hear it for family values!
The biological parents "always rolled the egg out of their nest, they kicked it out again and again," zoo veterinarian Joachim Schoene said.
"Then we made the decision not to give it up and instead try to give it two fathers."
So far, the experiment has been a success. The two foster dads incubated the egg for 30 days until it hatched and have continued to care for the newborn chick. Read the rest here ... and then bookmark this story for the next time someone tries the "but it just isn't natural" argument.
Two male Humboldt penguins guard the entrance to their cave in the zoological park in Bremerhaven, here they are foster dads to a six-week-old penguin chick. (Focke Strangmann/Associated Press)

I don't get this. How can animal behavior be labeled like human behavior? Animals aren't "gay," "straight," or "bisexual," they just do what they've always done.
- BJ said...
The point is that the behavior "ain't no new-fangled" thing created by humans -- it exists and has existed -- from the beginnings of time probably. You see, it is true: God doesn't create junk! "Birds do it, bees do it," -- can't remember any more lyrics until "Let's do it; let's fall in love." Now, that's what it is about -- falling in love and sharing a life.
- Göran Koch-Swahne said...
Don't we?
- Unknown said...
And Tango Makes Three (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/And_Tango_Makes_Three), by Peter Parnell and Justin Richardson, illustrated by Henry Cole, is the delightful (true) story of chinstrap penguins, Roy and Silo, who were given an egg to hatch after incubating a rock. The book itself is horribly 'controversial' and a number of public school libraries of either banned it or placed it in 'restricted' access sections.
[N.B., There is no word as to whether or not either Roy or Silo (or Tango) will seek Episcopal orders.]
- RonF said...
You are presenting behavior by two animals confined in a zoo and potentiated by human intervention (taking the egg away from it's natural parents and giving it to them) as natural? That's a rather odd viewpoint and is more an argument for the other side.
- SUSAN RUSSELL said...
Oh for heaven's sake ... lighten up! It's a cute, heartwarming story about two male penguins who are mates and who are providing nurture for an egg the biological parents kicked out of the nest.
A great example that even in the "animal kingdom" there are family values that transcend heterosexuality ... AND a rebuttal to the argument that homosexual erotic and affectional attraction is "not natural."
- seraph said...
This is kinda cute too and just as natural... in the continuing story of sexual orientation in penguins. What could we learn from it...?
That gay male penguin relationships can be as impermanent as those of male humans?
That there is such thing as "ex"-gay penguins...?
There are so many possibilities...!
many blessings
- IT said...
RonF, there is a substantial scholarship on same-sex behavior in a very wide variety of animals in their natural environment. Like it or not, it is a "normal" variant of creatures with complex behaviors. Minority behavior, to be sure but it certainly occurs widely.
Indeed, in domestic sheep, something like 5-8% of rams exclusively mount other rams. Another similar number aren't interested in mounting anything. There is a substantial research effort in agricultural schools about this, becasue it's quite expensive to the sheep farmer to have a ram "uninterested" in ewes. And they haven't figured out how to avoid it. Hmmmmm.
"Evolution's Raiinbow" and "Biological Exuberance" are two books discussing this. At some point I will write a genetics primer on my blog to explain the current theories, but I don't have time right now.
It would just be most honest if your side admitted what science and medicine ahve established: homosexuality is a natural biological variant affecting a fraction of people in all human populations. ( So is being left-handed). The question really is not whether it is natural, but whether it can be moral. We say yes and you say no. And that's what the fight is really about.
This attempt to describe being gay as some sort of evil human "choice" (why anyone would CHOOSE it given people like you, is beyond me) is stcking your fingers in your ears and shouting "lalala" in the face of countervailing evidence.
Science now also tells us that the earth revolves around the sun, regardless of what the church used to think. You might have missed that one too.
- SUSAN RUSSELL said...
Or maybe we don't know as much as we think we do about sexuality in general. Maybe it's much more of a continuum than anyone on EITHER side of the "gay/straight" divide wants to admit.
Maybe some people are "wired" gay and some people are "wired" straight and MOST people are "wired" somewhere in the middle.
And maybe what matters is not who you love, but DO you love.
Not who you commit to love, honor and cherish til death do you part but DO you commit ...
And maybe if we could spend less time labelling each other and more time letting each other go in peace to love and serve the Lord we'd get some work done on this "thy kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven" stuff.
- IT said...
Actually, Susan, you are right. Most people do experience sexuality on a continuum, not on a binary, and it is much more fluid. Complex traits generally are, well, cmplex.
Same thing for handedness, actually, A few people are actually ambidextrous, most people can do a few tasks with the "unfavored" task, relatively few are strictly one way or the other.
I agree completely that getting rid of this label stuff would be welcome.
Why can't we celebrate variety and love, in all it's beauty, and simply encourage people to live in honesty and integrity?
There is not enough love in this world that we can afford to squander any of it.
- LGMarshall said...
News Flash -- there is no such thing as a gay male penguin couple. Anthropomorphism is thoroughly Un-Biblical. Cute story though. By the way, God instructs us to go AGAINST our (sin) nature, not WITH it.
Also....lets talk about something important. Salvation! Available to Human Beings (only). Repent & Believe. John 3:16.
- uffda51 said...
"Anthropomorphism is thoroughly Un-Biblical."
Anthropomorphism - the representation of objects (especially a god) as having human form or traits.
Daniel, Chapter 7, verse 9
As I looked,
thrones were set in place,
and the Ancient of Days took his seat.
His clothing was as white as snow;
the hair of his head was white like wool.
His throne was flaming with fire,
and its wheels were all ablaze.
On another topic, some conservatives still believe that Saddam Hussein was behind 9/11 and that torture is justified, but even Dick Cheney (The Washington Post, 6/6/09) supports marriage equality.
- SUSAN RUSSELL said...
"Anthropomorphism is thoroughly Un-Biblical"???????????
Then ... just for STARTERS ... where does "God the Father" fit in?
- LGMarshall said...
Is there some alternative-dictionary that you use at TEC?
God the Father is not an object, he is a Person.
def: anthropomorphism -- 'The describing of human motivation and characteristics to Inanimate Objects, Animals or Natural Phenomenon' -- (i.e., weather, storms, floods, earthquakes.)
Which dictionary says... 'especially a god' in the definition?
(Note: 'god' small 'g', connotes capricious pagan gods -- or false gods.)
Maybe your confusing it with 'anthropomorhous: having or suggesting human form and appearance.' (Jesus God in Human form?)
- uffda51 said...
Xenophanes - "If horses had Gods, they would look like horses."
- WilliamK said...
In TEC, (I would hope!) we use the Oxford English Dictionary! We're Anglicans, after all! ;-)
The Oxford English Dictionary has THIS as its FIRST entry under "anthropomorphism."
Attribution of human form or character. a. Ascription of a human form and attributes to the Deity.
Further down in the entry, the following quote from Pusey appears: 1860 PUSEY Min. Proph. 433 "Thou didst walk through the sea with Thine horses...Such anthropomorphisms have a truth, which men's favourite abstractions have not."
Mr. Pusey here is identifying the biblical statement that God walked through the sea with horses as an "anthropomorphism." That, of course, is what it is ... unless one wants to argue that God actually does "walk" and have horses!
In any case, the grumble about the reference to "gay" penguins is a red herring (I wonder if penguins like to eat red herring?) .... The point Mother Susan was making, using colloquial language to make that point clear, is that we find same-sex pair-bonding in the animal world, and that such pair-bonding has been found to serve positive functions, as in the example cited.

Beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend, "The Good Doctor" Henry Clyde Watkins was taken from this earth suddenly on March 4, 2012 at the age of 69.
Clyde was born March 15, 1942 to Ivan and Irene Harvey Watkins, the third of five children, with siblings Richard Watkins, Bertha (Snyder), Marlyn (Smith) and Caroline (Amey).
He was raised in Blanding, UT and graduated from San Juan High School in 1960. Clyde dedicated his life to the service of others. He served an honorable two year mission in New Zealand for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
Clyde then continued his education at Washington State University, School of Veterinary Medicine, in Pullman WA. After graduation in 1969, he became "Doc Watkins" and moved to Roy, UT where he had his first veterinary practice until 1971.
In that year he moved to New Zealand and lived there with his family for the next ten years. In New Zealand, he served as branch president for the LDS Church. He moved back to his home town of Blanding in 1981, where he continued his dedicated veterinary work for the greater San Juan County area, covering from Moab to Dove Creek and down to Monument Valley.
He loved working with the people in this area until the end of his life. There are many who have had the privilege to rub shoulders with this great man as he shared his time, warmth and knowledge with those in the community that he loved with all his heart. He was always willing to lend a helping hand or a listening ear.
He married Patricia Pickworth of New Zealand in 1966. Together they had four children Marie (Matt) Crocker of Corvalis, OR, John Watkins, Jason Watkins of Blanding, and Katherine Patrick of Salt Lake City, UT. Clyde and Patricia later divorced.
He married JoAnn Radke Brown in 1994 and they were blessed to share 18 years together along with his step-children Douglas (Katie) Brown of Grand Junction, CO, Daniel (Margo) Brown of St. George, UT, Dena (Neil) Moon of Malad ID, Dale (Shylowe) Brown of Blanding, UT, Dustin (Whitney) Brown of Monticello, UT, and Dennis (Nicole) Brown of Blanding, UT.
He was also blessed with 21 grandchildren and two great-grand children.
Clyde is preceded in death by his son John Watkins, sister Bertha Snyder, parents Ivan Watkins and Irene Harvey Watkins, sister Caroline Amey, and great-grandson Beckham Summerhays.
Clyde loved his veterinary work. He was always willing to do all he could for everyone he met. His greatest treasure was his family and friends. He could often be seen out on the tractor with a kid or two on his lap. He loved taking his children and grand children with him on the vet calls and when he was working out on the farm.
He had a great love of life and greatly enjoyed talking to and getting to know every person he helped. His presence in our lives will be greatly missed but his influence will forever be felt in our hearts as we remember this great man and the impact he had on our lives. Clyde leaves behind a great legacy of a man devoted to family and friends.
Our family would like to express our deepest gratitude for all the thoughts, prayers, visits, food, phone calls and for every other way we have been shown kindness, love, and support during this difficult time. The priceless stories and memories that have been shared with us by those that knew Clyde were truly appreciated.

3 Reasons to Invest in Bird Control ProductsMonday, March 3rd, 2014
Bird Control
When birds land, roost and nest on your property they create a hazardous, unsightly and costly mess. Here are three reasons why bird control is a great investment and a few products that can be used to solve your bird control problem.
Transmittable Disease
Bird droppings carry any of 60 transmittable diseases that are easy for humans to contract. Nesting materials are just as infectious as bird droppings as they have bugs, mites and remnants of bird droppings.
Cost of Clean Up
Eliminate costly clean up created by pest birds' messy lifestyle. Depending on how long birds have been nesting in an area, there could be thousands of dollars in damage and clean up. Bird droppings contain acidic substances that can stain or corrode certain building materials if left unattended.
Slip & Fall Risk
Bird droppings are messy and slippery. If bird droppings are on walkways or entryways, there is the risk of someone slipping and falling, which could result in injury and a lawsuit if it's on at a business or on public property.
Bird Control Products
Bird Spikes are used to prevent large birds, like pigeons, crows and gulls, from landing or perching on unwanted areas. They will not harm birds. Bird spikes simply create an uneven surface making it impossible for large birds to land. The spike strips come in two foot sections and a variety of widths to cover the area width in need of protection. The base of the spike is 1.5" and has predrilled holes for quick and easy installation. The spikes are easy to install by gluing, screwing or tying them down. Bird spikes come in stainless steel with a polycarbonate base or polycarbonate. The plastic is
Bird Netting is a full exclusion bird control product. Heavy duty bird netting creates a physical barrier to prevent birds from landing or nesting. It is the most efficient and effective method for excluding birds to ensure they cannot access an area to build or rebuild their nests. This product is effective for all bird species. Use a U.V. stabilized polyethylene mesh bird net that is sun and weather resistant and rot proof. Depending on the pest bird, there are different mesh sizes available: ¾" 1 1/8" and 2".
Bird Jolt Flat Track is a low profile, electrical track system that produces a mild electrical shock when birds land on its surface. The shock will not harm birds, but will condition them to stay away from the area, making Bird Jolt Flat Track the ultimate in bird behavior modification. Bird Jolt Flat Track is the only electric track bird deterrent system with patented anti-arcing and glue trough designs and is the safest most effective electric track available. It is also available in six colors: clear, black, grey, stone, terra cotta, and red.
The choice to invest in bird control can save you time, money and potentially hazardous situations.

The Rev. James J. Maher, C.M., Niagara University president, was set to present the keynote address during a conference Monday in Istanbul, Turkey, that aimed to contribute to the dialogue between religions, especially Islam, Christianity and Judaism.
"Sacred Texts and Human Contexts: Poverty and Wealth in the Sacred Texts of Judaism, Christianity and Islam," which is being held at Fatih University, involves more than 50 U.S. scholars who are joining their Turkish colleagues to discuss the themes of poverty and wealth in the three monotheistic religions.
"I submit to you, scholarship, service and teaching in an interfaith context holds great possibility to deal with one of the most critical issues of human life, our brothers and sisters in the cage of poverty," reads an excerpt from Maher's speech. "In addition, our spirituality must lead us to see poverty as a death-dealing dynamic, challenging us to bring life and dignity to the dark, ignominious life of those trapped in poverty."
The first leg of the conference was held last June at Nazareth College, attracting about 200 attendees from top universities, as well as numerous religious studies experts. Selected papers from the conference are currently in the process of being published.
While in Turkey, Maher, Dr. Hung Le, vice president for international relations, and Dr. Mustafa Gokcek, associate professor of history and a native of Turkey, will meet and sign memorandums of understanding with administrators from several Turkish high schools.
The trip is consistent with Niagara University's efforts under Maher to expand its presence internationally.

Where and if what maps you can buy depend on what GPSr you have. What did you buy?
Welcome to the site and to caching and GPSr ownership!

Hi! Welcome to the site and congrats on your GPS!
Like brdad said, the maps you buy will depend on the unit you have. I just want to point out... before you pay for your maps, check to see if you get a free map update first. When we bought our Garmin Nuvi it cam preloaded with maps that were 1 year old. A friend just bought the same model and was given a code that allowed him to download recent maps for free. I don't know if the free maps are a new benefit or if I had just overlooked it, but make sure you check to see what you are entitled to
Actually, I've had good luck buying buying Garmin update maps (micro SD cards) for my Garmin GPSMap 60csx on eBay. I bought Europe last year prior to our trip and sold it on eBay when we got back for only $15 less than I paid for it. And when I wanted to update our Street Atlas USA maps, i got the micro SD card on eBay for a very good price. And I'm VERY pleased that I got the SD card instead of a CD version. No worrying about "did I load the maps for this trip?" like I had done so many times in the past.
Is it legal to resell it?
Thanks for the welcome!
I bought a Garmin gpsmap 60CSx .
I have wanted a GPS for years now so I bought it for myself for my 33rd B day
Ebay hmmmmmmm
I tend to be pretty cheap and use the free resources that are out there before I pay for anything. Check out this map set for New England. Its a great resource for topo maps as well as includes just about every street in the state, right down to fire lanes and dirt roads.
There is a very fine line between 'hobby' and mental illness'. ---Dave Barry
Many times, when you buy a CD from eBay or other reseller, it is an OEM copy that was issued with a new GPSr, and one registration has already been used on the original GPSr.
downloading now.
thanks guys.

Australian Rugby
Ella back in the Wallabies' fold
ESPNscrum Staff
October 8, 2010
Ella casts an eye over a Wallabies training session in Sydney earlier this week © Getty Images
Australian rugby legend Mark Ella has returned to the Wallabies' set-up for the first time since retiring in 1984.
The former fly-half, capped 25 times by his country, joined the national team's preparations for their forthcoming tour of Europe following an invite from coach Robbie Deans. The 51-year-old had not had any contact with the international set-up since hanging up his boots in the wake of the Wallabies' 1984 Grand Slam tour.
"I was never asked back, that was it, so that's fair enough," Ella told the Daily Telegraph. "I wasn't sitting around waiting for the phone call, put it that way. I've been out of rugby for a long time but it's good to be asked to training officially and good to work with a lot of talented players."
Ella offered some advice on the players' attacking game while Manly coach Phil Blake, whose team had the best defence in the Sydney premiership this season, also contributed to the session.
"It was a basic skills session for about 20 minutes - catch and pass," Ella said. "There was nothing too complicated about it, these guys would have done this a thousand times. It was basically making sure they hit the ball straight, that their alignment was right and their speed on to the ball was right."
Wallabies scrum-half Will Genia welcomed Ella's input. "It's very special to have a player of his stature and ability to come and help the boys out," he said. "Even little drills he showed us had a real impact and effect on the boys - we just got better throughout the session."
In related news, Australian Rugby Union chief John O'Neill has backed the Wallabies to end their 10-game losing streak against the All Blacks in Hong Kong on October 30. "Make no mistake. These are the two best teams in world rugby. The All Blacks are number one and the Wallabies, sadly, number two and they will be at absolute full strength for this match," O'Neill told AFP.
"We haven't beaten the All Blacks for some time but there's an old saying in sport, 'ding dong the witch is dead'. Hopefully on October 30 we'll be able to say it loud and clear."
Organisers said that around 20,000 tickets had been sold out of 38,000 available.

Toshiba recalls notebook RAM
Faulty DIMMs could cause data-loss
Toshiba today said it could replace memory modules installed in certain Tecra, Satellite and Portégé notebooks after it emerged that some may malfunction and cause data-loss.
Toshiba did not reveal how many machines worldwide might be affected by the problem.
The company said that third-party DIMMs fitted into a range of machines "might potentially cause blue screens, intermittent PC lockups or undetected memory data corruption... under certain conditions and when used in combination with certain other components".
Toshiba stressed that the likelihood of such an outcome was "extremely low".
The following computers may be affected by the faulty RAM, Toshiba said: Tecra S1, 9100, M1 and M2 laptops; Satellite 2400, 1110, Pro M10 and M30 machines; and Portégé R100 and M200 notebooks. Not all PCs of these types contain the potentially faulty memory, the company added.
Toshiba said it will replace these machines' factory-installed DIMMs free of charge, but owners have until 30 April 2005 to take advantage of the offer.
For now, they need to download a free utility which will test the memory installed on their computers. The software will flag up potentially faulty RAM and provide details of how the memory can be replaced. The utility is also available on CD from local service centres, Toshiba said.
Back in June, HP similarly recalled a range of notebook memory modules which might cause data loss under certain circumstances. Then, as now, the notebook vendor did not disclose which third-party supplied the memory modules that might malfunction. ®

Dr. Wayne J. Sebastianelli, who has served as director of athletic medicine at Penn State since 1992, has been named the new associate dean for clinical affairs for the Penn State College of Medicine Regional Campus in State College. Dr. Scott Lynch, associate professor of orthopaedic surgery and the director of sports medicine at Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center, will become the new director of athletic medicine for the University.
Sebastianelli and Lynch start in their new roles on Sept. 1.
Sebastianelli succeeds Dr. Paul Nelson, who served as associate dean for clinical affairs at the regional campus in an interim capacity since July 2013. Nelson will continue to provide administrative and clinical consultative services and will remain engaged in educational aspects of the regional campus.
"Dr. Sebastianelli's many years of working with Penn State Intercollegiate Athletics and our football team set the standard for exceptional care for our student-athletes. We greatly appreciate his dedicated service and we look forward to him continuing as physician for nearly two-thirds of our University athletic teams," said Sandy Barbour, Penn State director of athletics. "We welcome Dr. Lynch as director of athletic medicine and know that his experience and commitment will provide us with exceptional oversight and care that will continue to benefit student-athletes at Penn State."
Sebastianelli is the Kalenak Professor in Orthopaedic Surgery and Rehabilitation at Penn State Hershey Medical Center and also serves as the chief of staff at Mount Nittany Medical Center and Mount Nittany Surgical Center. He brings to the role of associate dean for clinical affairs a wealth of knowledge about the health care landscape in the Centre County region and is well positioned to help the Regional Campus meet the health needs of those communities. In his new role, he will have responsibility for:
- Oversight of Penn State Hershey's expanding clinical programs in the Centre County region;
- Recruitment of new faculty to the regional campus
- Serving as associate director for Penn State Hershey Medical Group, overseeing the quality and performance of the Medical Group's State College clinic sites;
- Developing and strengthening relationships with community physicians and healthcare practices;
- The continued development of clinical affiliations with Mount Nittany Health and other healthcare organizations in the area, in coordination with Penn State Hershey Health System leadership.
Sebastianelli will continue to serve as a team physician for more than a dozen University athletic teams, including men's and women's basketball, men's and women's track, men's and women's soccer, and cheerleading and dance. Additionally, he will remain in his position as medical director of the Penn State Sports Medicine Clinic in State College.
Prior to his appointment at Hershey, Lynch completed his orthopaedic residency at the University of Vermont, and two Sports Medicine Fellowships, one at the Cleveland Clinic and one at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden. He was named the director of Sports Medicine at Penn State Hershey Medical Center in 2002 and has been the practice site medical director for the adult Bone and Joint Clinic in Hershey since its opening in 2008. He also serves as a team physician for several Harrisburg-Hershey area high schools, as an assistant team physician for the Hershey Bears hockey team, and as orthopedic doctor for the Penn State football team. Lynch is a member of the PIAA Sports Medicine Advisory Committee and provides medical coverage for many of the PIAA championship events.
Lynch was a national champion wrestler while at Penn State.

Gameloft's N.O.V.A. 3 Comes to the Google Play Store
Gameloft promised they would bring the highly-anticipated N.O.V.A. 3 to Android in May, and they delivered on the last day of the month. If you want to play the best first-person shooter on Android, then head over to the Google Play Store and give Gameloft $6.99.
Android fans will be pleased to hear that most high-end devices are supported. That includes the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, ASUS Transformer Prime, Droid RAZR, Nexus S, Galaxy Tab 10.1, HTC EVO 4G LTE, and more. Surprisingly, the HTC One X (Tegra 3 and Snapdragon S4 versions) is not currently supported, but I expect Gameloft will be adding it soon.
Highlights of NOVA 3 include:
- An epic storyline: Humanity finally returns to Earth after years of exile! Fight in 10 immersive levels across the galaxy, from a war-torn Earth to a frozen Volterite city.
- Multiple weapons and powers: Run, shoot, drive vehicles, and pilot a mech to defeat hordes of enemies.
- Join 12-player battles in 6 multiplayer modes (Capture the Point, Free-for-All, Capture the Flag, etc.) on 6 different maps.
- For the first time, multiple allies can jump inside the same vehicle and spread destruction on the battlefield.
- Discover the new FPS benchmark for graphics and gameplay (real-time shadow & lights, particle system, ragdoll physics, etc.)
If your device supports this game and you are a fan of shooters, I'd highly recommend buying the game right now. Check out all the trailer videos below to see what you are missing out on.

Off-Topic: Meego
Kind off-topic: Is there any kind of petition to Nokia for please not dumping Meego? I have postponed buying a new phone, waiting for Nokias Meego phones. I will definitely buy neither a Windows phone nor another Symbian phone. It would be really a shame if they made such a stupid decision.
By Mark at Thu, 2011/02/10 - 10:46am
Meego down the drain?
Me thinks the same. I have an N900 and really like the device despite it being actually a real "brick" ;-)
Anyway. Windows mobile still has zero marketshare for a good reason: It's barely usable.
Iphone and Android are the only ones left now? Nokia should really keep Meego as it can now be the only real alternative to Apple and Google.

Dwight Howard went to the line 13 times last night, more than twice as often as the rest of the Lakers' starters combined. He went just 5-for-13, with his final two attempts coming with under two minutes remaining and a chance to tie the game. This was the first one. The second one was slightly less embarrassing, but didn't count for any more points. The Lakers wouldn't score again, and Miami would pull away for the 99-90 victory.
The Lakers looked, dare we say it, pretty good against the defending champs, leading the Heat at halftime and starting the fourth on a 13-5 run to tie it up before LeBron James and Ray Allen ran away late. But despite Mike D'Antoni's insistence that season really started on Sunday, moral victories don't count for much when you're 17-22.

George Karl on Nuggets' front office and his health
I caught up with Nuggets coach George Karl on Tuesday night, and GK expressed his emotions about the Nuggets' decision to not renew the contracts of execs Mark Warkentien and Rex Chapman (quotes below)
As for his health, Karl also said he's no longer feeding himself through a stomach tube (following his bout with throat-and-neck cancer). He is able to eat foods, but is taking it slow.
As he mentioned in to our columnist Dave Krieger at summer league, he's taking steps towards assuring he's healthy enough to coach next season (which is the plan). George said he has a PET scan in two weeks to determine if the chemotherapy and radiation wiped out his squamous cell carcinoma. He said he will probably have four PET scans in the coming year.
As for his thoughts on the execs, notably his close friend Warkentien, Karl said:
"I have a lot of love and friendship with Mark. Over the last few years, we pulled off some incredible personnel moves, Mark and I work very well as a team, but I also respect Stan (Kroenke) and the organization. … I respect his decision and I respect that we will move hopefully in a direction that will somehow, someway, be better. But Mark, to me, is a very, very first-class personnel guy."
"As a coach, there's always frustrating moments with personnel. Always moments that we disagree. But Mark and I, in the last 20 years, worked together probably 10 of those years. We can fight with each other, hang up on each other, and we still work together. That's an asset. In the same sense, Stan is very capable and interesting and kind of eccentric owner in a lot of ways.
Asked about his potential input with the new hire, Karl said: "In the next few days I'm sure they'll be some conversations and I hope that I have some input."

Honeybell Tangelos
The most incredible citrus is in right now, the Honeybell tangelo, but only for a week or two more. I order mine ahead, from Ter Marsch Groves in Juno Beach, Florida (store at 13900 U.S. 1. (561) 626-1177), but there are lots of sources online.
Honeybells have an emotional element for me. My grandparents used to winter in West Palm Beach, at a development called The Lost Tree Club. Back in the 1970s it was a popular with southern businessmen and it had a genteel quality, quite formal and very conventional. The crowd was old world gracious, composed of retired CEOs from a time when CEOs made a good living but not the scandalous amounts of money that somehow emboldens one's tackiest inclinations.
No, these were head-patting grandpas in charge of pre-merged regional banks and trim white haired ladies in Elizabeth Arden lipstick who threw cocktail parties before taking their guests to dinner at the clubhouse (my grandmother Elinor, from Memphis, loved the "Boo-fey" with its display of cold shellfish on ice, punctuated with halved lemons). Religion and politics were not considered polite conversation and everybody's happiness was well lubricated by martinis.
My sister and I used to visit during the first week of January, while we were on Christmas break from school in Vermont, and we couldn't wait to get south to bake ourselves crisp by the swimming pool (it was the pre-sunscreen era after all). The small house, which faced the sea, was cool and turquoise and pink, with a white shag carpet that my grandfather worried over incessantly. There was always a supply of bottled cokes in the fridge, next to a tray of cold stuffed eggs.
For me, those vacations were the height of luxury…mainly I guess because when I was home and looked the least bit idle my parents would hand over a load of chores. But the grandparents seemed mainly happy if we were not asking them too many questions, and so, in our bikinis and puka shell necklaces, we slowly invited our middle-aged wrinkles. The Lost Tree Club is where I smoked my first cigarette (given to me by my grandfather—a Vantage) and drank my first cocktail (also given to me by my grandfather—a Grasshopper). And it is where I first tasted fresh-squeezed Honeybell orange juice.
It was one of the great delights of my adulthood to realize I could order them on a credit card and have them sent to my dreary wintry flat in New York. To me, they simply represent the bliss of teenagerism: those first forays into adult party behavior, the utter inability to imagine middle-age, much less death, and the great joy of guilt free idleness.
If you haven't tried them, I highly recommend you do! Honeybells are incredibly sweet and juicy. They are also known as Minneola tangelos and Honeybell oranges, although they aren't oranges at all. They are a hybrid of a tangerine and grapefruit. My favorite citrus, hands down.
With my flat of 24 oranges I made three half-pints of the best marmalade I ever made, squeezed a quart of juice, made an orange chiffon cake from a Maida Haetter recipe which feeds like, 16…
…and froze a half dozen Honeybell shells to serve granita in some day when I really need a touch of Florida good vibrations.
Honeybell Marmalade
Makes 3 half-pints
There are a lot of misunderstandings about the use of sugar in preserving. One critic scolded me for not mentioning sugar as a preservative in my book, Well-Preserved. I didn't because sugar is not a preservative, at least, not unless you use it to dehydrate a product, like, say, sugared ginger. In canning jams and jellies, sugar is used to enhance flavor, help hold the shape of fruit, and help jell the juice. None of those things actually preserve the food, but they do improve the quality of your end product. Honeybells are super sweet and I just couldn't bear to apply my usual one to one, pulp to sugar ratio for citrus marmalade. So I was totally thrilled to discover the Honeybell peels had enough pectin to properly jell the marmalade even though I used 1/3 less sugar than I usually do! The result is really the best marm I've ever made.
5 to 6 Honeybell tangelos (for 3 cups Honeybell pulp)
1 scant cup Honeybell rind, cut into matchsticks
1 cup water
2 cups sugar
Remove the peel. With a sharp paring knife, remove the white pith from the inside of the peel. It's okay if you don't get it all. Cut the peel into thin matchsticks. Place in a small pot with the water and boil gently over a medium low heat until the peel is tender, about 10 minutes. Set aside. Do not drain.
Cut any white pith off the orange. Cut the Honeybells in half and remove the seeds. Place the Honeybells in a food processor and pulse to grind. Pour the pulp into a bowl, add the peel and water and refrigerate for a few hours. Up to over night is fine.
Pour the pulp, peel and water into a deep, wide heavy bottomed pot. Add the sugar and bring to a boil over a medium high heat, stirring occasionally. Watch to be sure the marmalade doesn't foam up (you can add about a teaspoon of butter if it does, which will help settle down the foam). Boil at a moderately high boil for twenty minutes. The marmalade will look runny. It's okay. Do a gel test: place a small amount of marmalade in a spoon in the refrigerator fro about 5 minutes. If it stiffens up the marmalade is ready.
Prepare the jars: sterilize 3 half-pint jars and bands (to sterilize boil the jars and bands for 10 minutes at sea level; add 1 minute for every 1,000 feet above sea level). Simmer new lids in hot water for a few minutes to soften the rubberized flange. (I just drop the lids into the hot sterilization water after I've taken it off the heat.)
Spoon the marmalade into the jars leaving ½ inch headroom. You can use quarter pint jars, as I have in the picture, but if you use pint jars you have to increase the processing time by five minutes plus altitude adjustments). Wipe the rims, place on the lids and screw on the bands fingertip tight.
Place in a pot with a rack and cover with two to three inches of water. Bring to a boil and boil for 10 minutes at sea level (add 1 minute for every 1,000 feet above sea level). Remove the jars and place on a rack or cloth towel and allow to cool. Check the seal and store in a cool dark place for up to a year. Refrigerate after opening.

That One
As a teenager, my daughter drove us crazy. We even took her to a psychologist at one point hoping that someone could do something to make her easier to live with. She met with the psychologist once, alone. The second meeting was a family meeting. My daughter hated going. When the psychologist asked her exactly what the problem was, she pointed to her father, brother and me and said "THAT ONE, THAT ONE AND THAT ONE." Needless to say, she was very angry.
The psychologist was great. She said that my daughter was just going through normal teen stuff and did not need to see her. (My daughter has grown into a sensation adult so this professional was correct.) I totally forgot about this incident until I heard McCain use the same words during last weeks debate. The anger and resentment I heard was the same irrational words I heard from my 14 year old child. She scared me then. He scares me now.

Love that story about our teenage offspring. It gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling that other people went through the same tribulations I did .....
Someone told me they saw a bumper sticker:
"THIS ONE's VOTING FOR THAT ONE."
You can already get a T-shirt with that remark on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/THIS-ONE%27s-VOTING-FOR-THAT-ONE-Obama-T-shirt_W0QQitemZ220292742384QQcmdZViewItemQQimsxZ20081012?IMSfp=TL081012003014r2804
which I'm going to order now.

McCain doesn't scare me as much as his supporters do. They really believe that Obama is a terrorist.
It's great that McCain has forced himself into a position where he has to defend Obama's patriotism.

That comment was so incredibly pejorative and derogatory. I was - and AM - SHOCKED by such commentary from a man who wishes to be my leader.
Not gonna happen if my vote has anything to do with it.
And while I admire the Obamas for not continuing down the slippery slide that the McCain-Palin ticket is creating, it is incredibly hurtful to have McCain lording over the world with his elitist attitude.
All of this from the man who didn't think Arizona should celebrate MLK Day.
Makes ya wonder... but you sure don't have to wonder too long.

I agree completely McCain's supporters are scary. I'm scared of what they might do when Senator Obama is elected. I fear for his family's safety.
On the other hand I have a friend that was disappointed that Senator Obama isn't a Muslim. Her thinking was that would be a huge leap forward for the US in our fight to eliminate bigotry. She remembers her parents thinking the world was going to end when a Catholic became President.
We both have friends that will drive 30 min - 1 hour out of their way to avoid going through certain towns because they fear for their safety traveling through those towns.
Then we all look at our playground with white, black, Hispanic, and Vietnamese students playing together speaking fluent English and Spanish and we have hope for the future. (We are dual language English/Spanish campus - were the ideal is students will leave us literate in both languages).

Religion shouldn't enter into it at all.
The brilliant founders of this country went out of their way to separate church and state. It is for other, much darker reasons that religion has taken over American politics in the past 60 years.

(Reuters) - Shares of Vringo Inc fell as much as 10 percent after the mobile phone software maker said a jury had asked five companies, including Google Inc, to pay about $30 million for infringing its patents.
Vringo had been looking for much higher compensation of at least $696 million from the companies, financial website iStockAnalyst had previously reported.
The court-appointed jury upheld the validity of Vringo's patents and asked Google to pay $15.8 million, AOL $7.9 million, IAC/InterActiveCorp-owned IAC Search & Media $6.6 million and Gannett Co Inc $4.3 million, Vringo said.
Vringo inherited the lawsuit after it acquired Innovate/Protect (I/P), a company which specializes in monetizing intellectual property, in March.
I/P had filed a patent infringement lawsuit against AOL, Google, IAC, Gannett and Target Corp in 2011.
The lawsuit against Google involves two patents that I/P bought from Lycos, one of the biggest search engines of the 90's.
After finding that the patent claims were both valid and infringed by Google, the jury found that reasonable royalty damages should be based on a "running royalty", and that the running royalty rate should be 3.5 percent, Vringo said.
Vringo shares were down 8 percent at $3.66 in late-afternoon trading on the American Stock Exchange.

Oh Oh!!! I don't know if this is how you reply!! With no exagerration: Finn got screwed. Good land blinds. One guy who was called back after land blinds was soooo shocked. Bad, bad blinds & 2 bad marks!!. The whole trial was a mess!! Heather out after land blinds & she ran Ticket.
FWIW-I am very objective now and very disappointed. More to say, but we are running Master tomorrow & I better get to bed.
Miriam, How did you make out at Lake Champlain O/H today? What about Heather and Ticket? Did she run him or did Lois? I'm at Empire. Lost Legend after the land blind and Ransom no-go'd me in the 4th series! Last weekend I finished both of them (4th and JAM), so todays results were a real kick in the teeth. I guess that's trials for ya.
Hope you're having a better day.
Miriam - How'd you fare in the qualifying at Maine? Hopefully you didn't get all the rain and wind we had at Fort Pitt. I still managed a 3rd with Ransom.
Any word on the Qual placements? I'm curious how Ticket and Lois did, as well. It was so cool to hear he got that 2nd a few weeks ago. Gotta cheer for the minority breeds, even from afar.
Hope you're having a great summer and maybe I'll see you at Western, NY or Empire.
