SUN JDK 1.6.0_07 released.
VisualVM
Java VisualVM is provided as part of this update release. Java VisualVM is a tool with a visual interface for viewing detailed information about Java applications while they are running on a Java Virtual Machine (JVM), and for troubleshooting and profiling these applications. Various optional tools, including Java VisualVM, are provided with Sun’s distribution of the Java Development Kit (JDK) for retrieving different types of data about running JVM software instances. Java VisualVM federates these tools to obtain data from the JVM software, then re-organizes and presents the information graphically enabling you to view different data about multiple Java applications uniformly, whether they are running locally or on remote machines. Furthermore, developers can extend Java VisualVM to add new functionality by creating and posting plugins to the tool’s built-in update center.
For more information about VisualVM, check the Product Documentation, the Project Home Page and Documentation Index.

Can You Hear Me
Can You Hear Me! Enrique.Iglesias
I remember that I can still feel you
Sometimes I’m blind but I see you
You are here but so far away
The times when you wanna.. Im missing you
Makes me feel like I’m spinning
Sometimes you get what you gain
I’m on a coaster-collision
Am not about to give in
Can’t explain my position or the condition that I’m in.
Where I am is no limit, no walls, no ceilings
No intermission, so let
Let the party begin.
(Chorus)
Hey.. Hey.. Hey all the way
DJ let it play.
Hey Hey Can You Hear Me?
Oooow
Hey.. Hey.. Hey all the way
DJ let it play.
Hey Hey Can You Hear Me?
Oooow
Can You Hear Me? Can You Hear Me? Can You Hear Me? Can You Hear Me?
Oooow
Don’t you mean that you’re my vision
I gotta make a decision
Do I go, do I stay? (Stay)
You’ve gotten into my system
You are in control of my mental
I need to mean for a stay (???)
I’m on a coaster-collision
Am not about to give in
Can’t explain my position or the condition that I’m in.
Where I am is no limit, no walls, no ceilings
No intermission, so let
Let the party begin
(Chorus)
Hey.. Hey.. Hey all the way
DJ let it play.
Hey Hey Can You Hear Me?
Oooow
Hey.. Hey.. Hey all the way
DJ let it play.
Hey Hey Can You Hear Me?
Oooow
Oooow Oooow Oooow Oooow Oooow Oooow
Can You Hear Me? Can You Hear Me? Can You Hear Me? Can You Hear Me? Can You Hear Me?
Hey.. Hey.. Hey all the way
DJ let it play.
Hey Hey Can You Hear Me?
Can You Hear Me?

New York tops list of 2007 world’s fashion cities

A model seen walking the runway during New York Fashion Week in this February 9, 2007 file photo.
New York was on Wednesday named as the world’s top fashion city for the fourth consecutive year, according to a survey by a U.S.-based language use group.
The Global Language Monitor, a non-profit group that tracks words and phrases in the media, on the Internet and throughout the blogosphere, compiles an annual list of the top fashion cities.
New York ousted Paris as the leader in the list four years ago, leaving the French capital jostling with London, Rome, and Milan for the other top positions in the list.
This year, Rome beat out the others for second place with Paris coming in third position, followed by Milan and London. Hong Kong was rated the top fashion city in South Asia, coming in 8th position overall.
Other notable rankings included Shanghai at number 14, Sydney and Melbourne at numbers 12 and 15 respectively, and the fashion quartet of South America — Santiago, Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo, and Buenos Aires.
Krakow, one of the largest and oldest cities in Poland, made it to No. 25, apparently because of its emerging status as a centre of neo-Bohemian influence.
“The ranking is surprising in a number of ways, most of which relate to the changing nature of the global fashion industry,” Millie Payack, a director of the Global Language Monitor, said in a statement.
“Cities that recently would have been considered fashion backwaters are now emerging as significant regional hubs.”
Following is the list of the top 25 fashion cities:
1. New York
2. Rome
3. Paris
4. London
5. Milan
6. Tokyo
7. Los Angeles
8. Hong Kong
9. Las Vegas
10. Singapore
11. Berlin
12. Sydney
13. Barcelona
14. Shanghai
15. Melbourne
16. Moscow
17. Bangkok
18. Mumbai
19. Santiago
20. Rio de Janeiro
21. Sao Paulo
22. Buenos Aires
23. Johannesburg
24. Dubai
25. Krakow
