Portsmouth is a city in the U.S. state of Ohio and the county seat of Scioto County . The municipality is located on the northern banks of the Ohio River and east of the Scioto River in Southern Ohio. The population was 20,909 at the 2000 census.
Portsmouth's roots began in the 1790s when the small town of Alexandria was founded just west of where Portsmouth is today. Alexandria was flooded numerous times by the Ohio River and the Scioto River. In 1803, Henry Massie spotted a place to move the town away from the flood plains. He began to plot the new city by distributing the land and mapping the streets. Portsmouth was founded in 1803 and was established as a city in 1815. Alexandria soon disappeared.
Portsmouth quickly grew around an industrial base with the completion of the Ohio and Erie Canal and the construction of the N&W railyards and the B&O junction. This greatly benefited Boneyfiddle (which is a west-end neighborhood in Portsmouth), where grand buildings were constructed with the wealth from the commerce. As time passed, much of the commerce began to move towards Chillicothe Street, which is still today the main thoroughfare of Portsmouth. While Boneyfiddle is receiving new life, it is a shadow of its former self.
Another notable part of Portsmouth's history in the 1800s was its importance on the Underground Railroad. It was located on a route that continued north to Detroit and into Canada .
Floods and floodwalls
Even though the city was on higher ground, it was still prone to flooding. The city had great deal of flooding in 1884, 1913, and 1937. After the flood of 1937, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers constructed a floodwall protecting the city, which prevented two major floods in 1964 and 1997.
In 1992, the city of Portsmouth (instituted by then mayor Frank Gerlach) began honoring some of the many accomplishments of its area natives by placing a star on the Portsmouth Wall of Fame. Some of the honorees include Don Gullett, Al Oliver, and former United States Vice-President Dan Quayle, who was not a Portsmouth native.
In 1993, mural artist Robert Dafford began painting murals of Portsmouth's history on the city's floodwalls. Most of the mural project was finished around 2003, and a baseball mural honoring Portsmouth's baseball heroes was completed in 2006, including Branch Rickey. The newest mural honors the Tour of the Scioto River Valley (TOSRV), a bicycle tour between Columbus and Portsmouth over the past 40 years.
In 1907, the population of Portsmouth had reached 50,000. By 1950, the population had declined to approximately 36,000. High wages and foreign competition eventually caused most of the industry on which Portsmouth's economy was based to move out of the area. A major blow came in 1980 when the steel industry suspended local operations. With a current population of approximately 20,000, the city is not far removed from many small cities along the Ohio River valley, sharing many of the same problems in an era of unskilled labor outsourcing and population migration to more urban areas with the subsequent loss of both skilled and unskilled labor.
As of the census of 2000, there were 20,909 people, 9,120 households, and 5,216 families residing in the city. The population density was 1,941.4 people per square mile (749.6/km²). There were 10,248 housing units at an average density of 951.5/sq mi (367.4/km²). The racial makeup of the city was 91.50% White, 5.00% African American, 0.63% Native American, 0.61% Asian, 0.02% Pacific Islander, 0.32% from other races, and 1.92% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 0.93% of the population.
There were 9,120 households out of which 25.9% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 37.9% were married couples living together, 15.6% had a female householder with no husband present, and 42.8% were non-families. 37.3% of all households were made up of individuals and 17.8% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.19 and the average family size was 2.87.
In the city the population was spread out with 22.0% under the age of 18, 11.3% from 18 to 24, 25.9% from 25 to 44, 21.2% from 45 to 64, and 19.6% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 38 years. For every 100 females there were 83.8 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 78.3 males.
The median income for a household in the city was $23,004, and the median income for a family was $31,237. Males had a median income of $31,521 versus $20,896 for females. The per capita income for the city was $15,078. About 18.3% of families and 23.6% of the population were below the poverty line, including 31.1% of those under age 18 and 14.5% of those age 65 or over.

Portsmouth is at the confluence of the Ohio, Scioto and Little Scioto Rivers. Portsmouth is also a midway point between four major cities: Charleston , Cincinnati , Lexington and Columbus , all of which are approximately ninety miles away (roughly a two hour drive). Much of the terrain is quite hilly due to dissected plateau around it. However, both rivers carve a river valley, making Portsmouth nestle between the Scioto and Ohio Rivers.
Indian Head Rock
The Indian Head Rock is an eight-ton sandstone boulder which until recently resided in the bottom of the Ohio River. The removal of the rock, which is now housed in a Portsmouth municipal building, has led the states of Kentucky and Ohio into a legislative battle to determine its ownership and disposition.
Portsmouth has fourteen parks for its residents and community use. These parks include Alexandria Park (Ohio and Scioto River confluence), Bannon Park (near Farley Square), Branch Rickey Park (on Williams Street near levee), Buckeye Park (near Branch Rickey Park), Cyndee Secrest Park (Sciotoville), Dr. Hartlage Park (Rose Street in Sciotoville), Labold Park (near Spartan Stadium), Larry Hisle Park (23rd Street & Thomas Ave.), Mound Park (17th & Hutchins Streets), York Park (riverfront), Spartan Stadium, Tracy Park (Chillicothe & Gay Streets), and Weghorst Park (Fourth & Jefferson Streets).
Sciotoville -Located 5 miles east of Portsmouth off US 52 at Ohio 335.
Boneyfiddle -Located just a couple blocks west of downtown Portsmouth at the Market St./2nd St. intersection.
Alexandria-Located at the Scioto River and Ohio River confluence at the Front St./Scioto St. intersection.
Rosemount -Located 5 miles north of Portsmouth on US 23 and Old Scioto Trail.
Portsmouth City Hall
The city charter was originally adopted on November 6, 1928. The city conducts business at their city hall which was constructed in 1935. City council meetings are held during the second and fourth weeks in the month. The city reverted from being run by a city manager to a mayor in 1988. The mayor is elected every four years. There are six wards in the city with elections of the wards every two years.
First Ward Mike Mearan
Second Ward David Malone
Third Ward Bob Mollette
Fourth Ward Jerrold Albrecht
Fifth Ward John Hass
Sixth Ward Richard Noel
Scioto County Courthouse
Portsmouth is the county seat for Scioto County. The courthouse is located at the corner of Sixth and Court Streets and was constructed in 1936. The county jail, once located in the courthouse, is now located in a new facility in the same location where the Norfolk and Western rail depot used to stand near U.S. 23. It was constructed in 2006.
Portsmouth was a city focused on industry and manufacturing until the 1970s, when a number of companies closed down their factories over labor issues and foreign influences. Since the closure of these factories, Portsmouth has suffered a loss of jobs and revenue. The city is currently trying to promote service businesses, with the Southern Ohio Medical Center currently being the biggest employer in the city of Portsmouth. Portsmouth is also home to the newest state university in Ohio, Shawnee State University. Shawnee State enrolls between 3,300 and 4,000 students, and grants Associate and Baccalaureate degrees. The school also issues a very limited number of Master's Degrees. Much of the recent economic growth and change is based on service to SOMC and Shawnee State University.
In November 2002, the Portsmouth Uranium Enrichment Plant in nearby Piketon, Ohio was recognized as an ANS Nuclear Historic Landmark by the American Nuclear Society. It had served a military function from 1952 until the mid-1960s when the mission changed from enriching uranium for nuclear weapons to one focused on producing fuel for commercial nuclear power plants. The Portsmouth Uranium Enrichment Plant ended enriching operations in 2001 and began to support operational and administrative functions and perform external contract work. All uranium enrichment in the area has been taken over by a sister plant located in Paducah, Kentucky . Uranium enrichment functions had previously been shared by the two plants. USEC interests in the area remain strong with the American Centrifuge Plant under construction in Piketon. This commercial uranium enrichment facility is expected to employ up to 500 people and reach an initial annual production level of 3.8 million SWU by 2012.
Portsmouth is also the home of Mitchellace Inc., the largest manufacturer of shoelaces in the world.

Portsmouth is served by two major U.S. Routes: 23 and 52. Other significant roads include State Routes 73, 104, 139, 140, and 335.
Norfolk Southern offers a railyard for long distance shipping and is currently reopening the repair shops. Amtrak offers passenger service to the Portsmouth area under the Cardinal route between New York City and Chicago. The passenger station is located in South Shore, Kentucky across the Ohio River. This is an unmanned station so tickets must be purchased online or if the train stops from the conductor.
Portsmouth also offers air services with the Greater Portsmouth Regional Airport located in Minford, Ohio , which is approximately 20 miles northeast of the city on State Route 335.
Public transportation for Portsmouth and its outlying areas is offered through Access Scioto County (ASC).
Portsmouth used to be home to Ohio University Southern Campus; however, it moved to Ironton (Lawrence County ) in the early 1980s. The former Ohio University buildings became home to Shawnee State Community College, which in 1986, through the diligent efforts of then Ohio House Speaker Vern Riffe became Shawnee State University, Ohio's thirteenth and newest institution.

Portsmouth has one public and one private school system. The Portsmouth City School District has served the city since its founding in the 1830s and is the public school in the city. Portsmouth City School District is notable having a storied basketball tradition by winning four OSHAA State Basketball Championships in 1931, 1961, 1978, and 1988. The Trojan basketball team has made 13 final four appearances, they are 1925, 1926, 1927, 1929, 1931 (1st), 1934 (2nd), 1939, 1941, 1961 (1st), 1978 (1st), 1980 (2nd), 1988 (1st), & 1990 (2nd. The Trojan football team has also produced some notable teams as of late with the an Associated Press Division 3 State Champions in 2000, a regional title, and state semifinal appearance in 2000, and finishing as regional runner up in both 2001, and 2002. In all the Trojans football team has sent 5 teams to the post season since 2000, as of the start of the 2009 season.In 2000, Portsmouth voters passed a much needed school bond issue, which helped construct new schools for the district. The new schools opened for the 2006-2007 school year. These schools won the Grand Prize from School Planning & Management's 2007 Education Design Showcase. The award is awarded annually to the K-12 school that displays "excellence in design and functional planning directed toward meeting the needs of the educational program." In addition, the school system plans to build a new $10 million athletic complex.
Portsmouth Notre Dame HS
Notre Dame Schools (formerly Portsmouth Central Catholic HS) have served the city's Roman Catholics and others who want a higher education since 1852. It is also notable for its football team founded in 1929. It has won two state championships in 1967 and 1970.

Many historical buildings in Portsmouth have been demolished because of poor upkeep, other city improvements, or the completion of other buildings that replaced the landmarks. Landmarks that have been demolished include the old Norfolk & Western rail depot, churches dating back to the early 1900s, houses that dated back to the 1850s, Grant Middle School, and currently the old Portsmouth High School and various elementary schools. Nevertheless, there are many buildings still standing in the city that date back to the early 1800s. Old churches still stand as a reminder of Portsmouth's past and identity. Along with the Columbia Theater, which was given a major facelift (the building has since been destroyed in a fire), other buildings include the old monastery, which can be seen for miles, Spartan Stadium, and numerous buildings in the Boneyfiddle Historic District , which is on the National Register of Historic Places. In 1982, students from Miami University conducted research on several of Portsmouth's most important historic buildings. This work resulted in an exhibition at the Miami University Art Museum and a book entitled Portsmouth: Architecture in an Ohio River Town.

Portsmouth Public Library, the city's only public library, was founded in 1879; it has branch libraries throughout Scioto County. The Southern Ohio Museum, founded in 1979, has over sixty exhibits on display including artwork by Clarence Holbrook Carter and Jesse Stuart, China dolls, Native American artifacts, and works by local artists.
Portsmouth had a series of semi-pro football teams in the 1920s and 1930s, the most notable being the Portsmouth Shoe-Steels, whose roster included player-coach Jim Thorpe. From 1929 to 1933, the city was home to the Portsmouth Spartans, which joined the National Football League in 1930. The Spartans competed in the first professional football night game, against the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1930.. Despite their success, the team could not survive in the NFL's smallest city in the depths of the Great Depression; it was sold and moved to Detroit in 1934, where it survives today as the Detroit Lions.
The Portsmouth Explorers were one of the original teams in the Frontier League, a non-affiliated minor league baseball organization. The Explorers played in the league's first three seasons, from 1993 to 1995. In 1938, Portsmouth was also the home of the Portsmouth Red Birds, a minor league team owned by the St. Louis Cardinals.
In the late 90's Portsmouth was home to the Superstar Wrestling Federation before its demise. More recently Revolutionary Championship Wrestling has made its home in Portsmouth airing on local TV station WQCW. Revolutionary Championship Wrestling in Portsmouth has featured such wrestling stars as Big Van Vader, Jerry "The King" Lawler, Demolition Ax, "Beautiful" Bobby Eaton, "Wildcat" Chris Harris, and Ivan Koloff.
Portsmouth is a dividing line of numerous television markets, which includes the Columbus , Cincinnati , and Huntington -Charleston markets. There are two local television stations in Portsmouth which is W66CZ - The Zone & WQCW , a CW affiliate. Portsmouth is also served by the local PBS station, WPBO, which is a WOSU Columbus extension. Local radio stations WIOI , WNXT , WPAY , WZZZ , and WHRR-LP serve the radio listeners in the city. Portsmouth is also served by three newspapers. The Portsmouth Daily Times is the city's only daily newspaper. The Community Common is a free biweekly newspaper and the Scioto Voice is a weekly newspaper, which is mailed to subscribers. The University Chronicle is the student-led newspaper at Shawnee State University.

\section{Introduction}

In \cite{Dvali:2011uu}, by investigating a classical $\lambda \phi^4$ model with external source,
it has been clarified that there is a renormalization group structure, including the
phenomenon of the dimensional transmutation, at purely classical level.
Especially when the coupling $\lambda$ is negative, the classical beta function shows the
property of asymptotic freedom as in QCD.
In the paper \cite{Dvali:2011uu}, massless $\lambda \phi^4$ model has been investigated.
In this paper, we investigate the $\lambda \phi^4$ model with mass, and clarify
the role of the mass.
The obtained beta function is identical with
that of the massless $\lambda \phi^4$ model in \cite{Dvali:2011uu} up to the corrections
of $1/\Delta$. Here $\Delta$ is the ratio of the IR cutoff to UV cutoff.
We also, perturbatively, found that the dynamically generated scale of massive theory is larger
than that of massless theory, which could be due to the screening effect of the mass term.
Furthermore, we see the same effect and the renormalization flow in non-perturbative analyses by introducing the effective mass.

\section{Perturbative Analyses}

We start with the following Lagrangian:
\begin{align}
\label{I}
\mathcal{L} =\frac{1}{2} \partial_\mu \phi \partial^\mu \phi
 - \frac{1}{2} m_0^2 \phi^2 - \frac{\lambda_0}{4} \phi^4\, .
\end{align}
We also add a source term:
\begin{align}
\label{II}
J\delta^{(3)}(\bm{x}) = 4\pi Q \phi \delta^{(3)}(\bm{x}) \, ,
\end{align}
and consider spherically symmetric solution of the classical
equation of motion with an external source of charge $Q$:
\begin{align}
\label{classEq}
\f{1}{r^2}\f{d}{dr}\Lt (r^2\f{d\phi}{dr}\Rt ) - m_0 ^2 \phi
 -\lambda _0 \phi ^3=-4\pi Q\delta ^{(3)}(\bm{x}) \, .
\end{align}
We expect that the mass term could screen the charge $Q$ because of opposite sign
of the negative $\phi^4$ interaction.

We assume the solution has a form of the damping solution as in the Yukawa potential:
\begin{align}
\phi (r)=\f{Q\tilde{f}(r,m_0) }{r}\ \e^{-m_0 r} \, .
\end{align}
Then the differential equation can be rewritten in the form of the integral equation:
\begin{align}
\tilde{f}(r,m_0)=& 1+\alpha _0  \int ^r_{r_0} dr' \e ^{2m_0r'}
\int ^{\infty }_{r'} \!\!\!dr'' \f{\e ^{-4m_0r''}\tilde{f}^3(r'',m_0)}{{r''}^2}
 -\tilde{N}(\alpha _0,m_0) \label{f_tilde(r)} \\
=&1+\alpha _0\Lt\{\int  ^r _{r_0} \!\!\! dr' \f{\e ^{-4m_0r'}(e^{2m_0 r'}
 -\e^{2m_0 r})}{2m_0{r'}^2}\tilde{f}^3(r',m_0) \Rt.\n\\
& \Lt. + \left(\e^{2m_0 r}-\e^{2m_0 r_0}\right)\int ^\infty _{r_0} dr'
\f{\e ^{-4m_0r'}}{2m_0{r'}^2}\tilde{f}^3(r',m_0)\Rt\}
 -\tilde{N}(\alpha _0,m_0)\,.
\label{inteq}
\end{align}
Here, we have introduced an ultraviolet cutoff $r_0$ and $\alpha$ is
defined by $\alpha _0:=-\lambda _0 Q^2 >0$.
We should note that In the limit of $m_0\to 0$, Eq.~(\ref{f_tilde(r)}) reproduces the expression
of massless $\lambda \phi^4$ model in \cite{Dvali:2011uu} up to the constant term:
\begin{align}
\tilde{N}(\alpha _0,m_0=0)=N(\alpha _0)
 -\alpha_0 r_0\int ^\infty _{r_0} dr' \f{1}{{r'}^2}\tilde{f}^3(r',m_0=0) \, .
\end{align}
The $\mathcal {O} (\alpha _0)$ part of the solution for (\ref{f_tilde(r)}) is
explicitly given by
\begin{align}
\tilde{f}(r,m_0)= 1 +\alpha _0 ( 2\e^{2m_0  r}\Ei (-4m_0  r)-\Ei (-2m_0  r)  )
+ \mathcal {O} (\alpha _0 ^2) \,,
\end{align}
with
\begin{align}
\tilde{N}(\alpha _0,m_0 )=\alpha _0 (2 \e^{2m_0 r_0}\Ei (-4m_0 r_0)- \Ei (-2m_0 r_0 ))
+ \mathcal {O} (\alpha _0 ^2) \,.
\end{align}
Here the exponential integral $\Ei(x)$ is defined by
\begin{align}
\Ei(x):=-\int^\infty_{-x} dt\f{\e^{-t}}{t}\,.
\end{align}
Unfortunately, we cannot obtain analytic form of the $\mathcal {O} (\alpha _0 ^2)$ part of
the solution by using Eq.~(\ref{inteq}) because we cannot integrate the equation analytically.
Therefore, we now consider the expansion with respect to the mass assuming $m_0\ll 1$.
Although the original equation (\ref{inteq}) is infrared finite, by the expansion with respect
the mass $m_0$, there appears the infrared divergence and therefore we need to
introduce {\it infrared cutoff} $R$ as given by
\begin{align}
\Lt. \f{d\tilde{f}}{dr}\Rt| _R=
-\alpha _0 \e ^{2m_0R} \int ^{\infty }_{R} dr'' \f{\e ^{-4m_0r''}
\tilde{f}^3(r'',m_0)}{{r''}^2}=0 \,,
\end{align}
which leads to the following expression:
\begin{align}
\tilde{f}(r,m_0,R)=
&1+\alpha _0\Lt\{\int  ^r _{r_0} dr' \f{\e ^{-4m_0r'}(e^{2m_0 r'}
 - \e^{2m_0 r})}{2m_0{r'}^2}\tilde{f}^3(r',m_0,R) \Rt.\n\\
& \Lt. +(\e^{2m_0 r}-\e^{2m_0 r_0})\int ^R _{r_0}
dr' \f{\e ^{-4m_0r'}}{2m_0{r'}^2}\tilde{f}^3(r',m_0,R)\Rt\}
 -\tilde{N}(\alpha _0,m_0,R)\,.\label{f_tilde(r)ren}
\end{align}
Furthermore we impose the renormalization condition for the IR cutoff in the
same way as in case of the massless $\lambda\phi^4$ model in \cite{Dvali:2011uu}:
\begin{align}
\tilde{f}(R,m_0,R)=1-\tilde{N}(\alpha _0,m_0,R) \, .
\end{align}
Then Eq.~(\ref{f_tilde(r)ren}) gives
\begin{align}
\int^R_{r_0} dr' \f{\e ^{-4m_0r'}(\e^{2m_0 r'}-\e^{2m_0 r_0})}{2m_0{r'}^2}
\tilde{f}^3(r',m_0,R)=0 \,,
\end{align}
and we obtain
\begin{align}
\tilde{f}(r,m_0,R)=
&1+\alpha _0 \int^R _r dr' \f{\e ^{-4m_0r'}(\e^{2m_0 r} - \e^{2m_0 r'})}
{2m_0{r'}^2}\tilde{f}^3(r',m_0,R) -\tilde{N}(\alpha _0,m_0,R)\,.
\label{A1}
\end{align}
We now use new variable $t$ and new parameter $\Delta$ by $t :=r/r_0$
and $\Delta:=R/r_0$. Furthermore we choose $R=1/m_0$.
Then the expression (\ref{A1}) reduces to
\begin{align}
\tilde{f}(t,\Delta )=1+\Delta\alpha _0 \int^{\Delta} _t
dt' \f{\e^{-4t'/\Delta}\left(\e^{2t/\Delta} - \e^{2t'/\Delta}\right)}
{2{t'}^2}\tilde{f}^3(t' ,\Delta ) -\tilde{N}(\alpha _0 ,\Delta)\,.
\label{f_tilde(t)}
\end{align}
As in case of Eq.~(\ref{f_tilde(r)}), we cannot solve (\ref{f_tilde(t)})
analytically.
Since $\Delta$ is the ratio of IR cutoff to UV cutoff, $\Delta$ should be large.
So we expand the integrand in (\ref{f_tilde(r)}) by the power of $1/\Delta$,
and neglect the $\mathcal {O} \left(\left(1/\Delta\right)^2\right)$ terms.
Therefore we find
\begin{align}
\tilde{f}(x ,\Delta )=1&+\alpha_0 \int^x _{\ln \Delta} dx' \Lt\{
1- \e^{x-x'}+\f{1}{\Delta} \e^x\Lt( 4 - \e^{x-x'} - 3 \e^{-(x-x')} \Rt) \Rt\}
\tilde{f}^3(x' ,\Delta ) -\tilde{N}(\alpha _0,\Delta)\,.
\end{align}
Now we have used a new variable $x$ defined by $x:=\ln t=\ln r/r_0$.
We further change the variable by $x\rightarrow y:=x-\ln \Delta=\ln (m_0 r)$
and find the following expression:
\begin{align}
\tilde{f}(y) = 1&+\alpha _0 \int^y_0 dy' \Lt\{ 1 - \e^{y-y'}
+ \e^y\Lt( 4 - \e^{y-y'} - 3 \e^{-(y-y')} \Rt) \Rt\} \tilde{f}^3(y')
 -\tilde{N}(\alpha _0 ) \, .\label{f_tilde(y)}
\end{align}
The recursive solution of (\ref{f_tilde(y)}) is given by
\begin{align}
\tilde{f}(y) = 1+\alpha_0 \left( y - (3-4 y) \e^y - \e^{2 y}\right)
+\alpha_0^2 \left( 3y + \frac{3}{2} y^2 + 15 (5+y) \e^y
+ \left( 66-39 y + 6 y^2\right) \e^{2 y}\right)
+\mathcal {O} (\alpha_0 ^3) \, ,\label{f_tilde(y)rec}
\end{align}
namely,
\begin{align}
\tilde{f}(r) =& 1 + \alpha _0\left[\ln (m_0 r) -m_0 r (3-4 \ln (m_0 r))-(m_0 r)^2 \right] \nn
& +\alpha _0^2 \left[ 3\ln (m_0 r)+\frac{3}{2} \ln^2(m_0 r) + 15 m_0 r (5 + \ln (m_0 r))
+ (m_0 r)^2 \left( 66-39 \ln (m_0 r)+6 \ln ^2(m_0 r)\right)\right]
+\mathcal {O} (\alpha_0 ^3) \, ,
\end{align}
with
\begin{align}
\tilde{N}(\alpha _0)=4 \alpha_0 -9 \alpha_0 ^2+\mathcal {O} (\alpha_0 ^3)\,.\label{N_tilde_rec}
\end{align}
In (\ref{f_tilde(y)rec}), we have neglected $\e^y$ terms, which lead to identify $y$ with $x$.
The obtained equation is identical with that in case of massless $\lambda \phi^4$ model
in \cite{Dvali:2011uu} although the expression of (\ref{N_tilde_rec}) is different.

We now define an effective coupling constant $\alpha_\mathrm{eff}(y)$ by
$\alpha_\mathrm{eff}(y):=\alpha_0\tilde{f}^2(y)$.
Then by using (\ref{f_tilde(y)rec}), we obtain
\begin{align}
\alpha_\mathrm{eff}(y)=&\alpha_0 \Lt \{ 1+2 \alpha \left[(y - \e^y (3-4 y)
 - \e^{2 y}\right] \Rt. \n\\
& +\alpha_0 ^2\left[ 6 y +4 y^2 +2 \left(75+12 y+4 y^2\right) \e^y
\Lt. -\left(123-52y-4 y^2\right) \e^{2 y} + (6-8 y) \e^{3 y}
+ \e^{4 y}\right ]+\mathcal {O} (\alpha_0 ^3)  \Rt \} \\
=:&\sum^{\infty}_{n=0}\alpha_0 ^{n+1}\tilde{g}_n(y) \,,
\end{align}
thus,
\begin{align}
\alpha_\mathrm{eff}(r)=&\alpha_0 \Lt \{ 1
+2 \alpha \left[(\ln (m_0 r)-m_0 r (3-4 \ln (m_0 r))-(m_0 r)^2 \right] \Rt. \n\\
& +\alpha_0 ^2\left[ 6 \ln (m_0 r) +4 \ln ^2 (m_0 r)
+2m_0 r \left(75+12 \ln (m_0 r)+4 \ln ^2(m_0 r)\right)  \Rt. \n\\
& \Lt.\Lt. -(m_0 r)^2 \left(123-52\ln (m_0 r)-4 \ln ^2(m_0 r)\right)
+ (m_0 r)^3 (6-8 \ln (m_0 r))+(m_0 r)^4 \right ]+\mathcal {O} (\alpha_0 ^3)  \Rt \} \,.
\end{align}

If we choose $\alpha_0=\alpha_\mathrm{eff}(r_0)$ and fix $\Delta$,that is the ratio of IR cutoff
to UV cutoff, $\tilde{f}(y)$ only depends on $r_0$ logarithmically.
So, we are able to define {\it classical} beta function as in a way similar to
\cite{Dvali:2011uu},
\begin{align}
\beta :=\f{\alpha_\mathrm{eff}}{dx}=\f{\alpha_\mathrm{eff}}{dy}
=\alpha_\mathrm{eff}^2\sum^{\infty}_{k=0}\tilde{g}'_k(-\ln \Delta )\alpha_\mathrm{eff} ^{k}\, .
\label{A2}
\end{align}
In (\ref{A2}), we have put $y=-\ln \Delta$, that is, $x=y + \ln \Delta = 0$.
By neglecting $\mathcal {O} \left( \left(1/\Delta\right)^2 \right)$ terms, we obtain
\begin{align}
\beta (\alpha )=& \left[2+ \f{2}{\Delta} + \f{8}{\Delta} \ln\Lt(\f{1}{\Delta}\Rt)\right] \alpha ^2
+\left[ 6 + \f{174}{\Delta} + 8\left( 1+ \f{5}{\Delta}
+\f{1}{\Delta} \ln\Lt(\f{1}{\Delta}\Rt)\right) \ln\Lt(\f{1}{\Delta}\Rt)\right ]\alpha ^3
+\mathcal {O} (\alpha ^4) \, . \label{beta}
\end{align}
We should note, now, $\alpha :=\alpha _\mathrm{eff}$.

In (\ref{beta}), numerical coefficients of each powers of $\alpha$ are equal to the case of the massless theory
\footnote{We have checked the terms to $\mathcal {O} (\alpha ^8)$.},
but we cannot take the massless limit, $\Delta\rightarrow \infty$, because of logarithmic divergence of $\mathcal {O} (\alpha ^3)$ terms.

We check the {\it 1-loop} part, that is, $\mathcal{O} \left(\alpha^2\right)$ part
of the classical beta function (\ref{beta}),
\begin{align}
\beta (\alpha )=\f{d\alpha}{dx}=2\kappa \alpha ^2  \, . \label{beta1}
\end{align}
Here
\begin{align}
\kappa (1/\Delta ):=1+\f{1}{\Delta} + \f{4}{\Delta} \ln\Lt(\f{1}{\Delta}\Rt) \,  ,
\end{align}
and we should note
\begin{align}
0<\kappa <1
\end{align}
for $\Delta >10$.
We now assume $\Delta$ does not depend on $r_0$ and solve (\ref{beta1}).
Then, we obtain {\it dynamically generated scale} $\tilde{R}_c$ in the same way similar to
the case of the massless $\lambda \phi^4$ model in \cite{Dvali:2011uu},
\begin{align}
\tilde{R}_c=r_0 \e^{-1/2\kappa \lambda_0 Q^2}>R_c \, .
\end{align}
$R_c$ is the dynamically generated scale in massless $\lambda \phi^4$ model \cite{Dvali:2011uu}.
Namely, the dynamically generated scale of massive theory is larger than that of massless theory.
This result could be consistent with screening effect of the mass term.

Obviously, the physical running coupling constant $\lambda (r)$ is given by
\begin{align}
\lambda (r)=\f{1}{2Q^2\ln (\tilde{R}_c/r)} \, .
\end{align}

We found that the dynamically generated scale of massive theory is larger than that
of massless theory, which could be due to the screening effect of the mass term.

\section{Non-Perturbative Analyses}

We find the {\it classical} beta function (\ref{A2}) as in a way similar to \cite{Dvali:2011uu}.
So, we can obtain the differential equation of the classical beta function from the equation of motion
(\ref{classEq}) and (\ref{A2}), as follows:
\begin{align}
\Lt( 1+\f{2 \e ^x}{\Delta}\Rt)\beta (\alpha )
=2 \exp\Lt[-\f{2 \e ^x}{\Delta}\Rt] \alpha ^2 +
\f{1}{2}\Lt( \f{d\beta (\alpha ) ^2}{d \alpha }-\f{\beta (\alpha ) ^2}{\alpha }\Rt) \label{eq_beta}\, .
\end{align}
We should note that (\ref{eq_beta}) coincides with the equation of the massless theory
in the massless limit.
We now consider to solve Eq.~(\ref{eq_beta}) in a non-perturbative way.

If we choose that $x$ could be independent of $\alpha$,
the solution of (\ref{eq_beta}) is given by
\begin{align}
\beta (\bar{\alpha} )=\Lt( 1+\f{2 \e ^x}{\Delta}\Rt) ^3 \exp\Lt[\f{2 \e ^x}{\Delta}\Rt]
\Lt( 2\bar{\alpha}^2+6\bar{\alpha}^3+48\bar{\alpha}^4+570\bar{\alpha}^5+  \cdots \Rt)\, .
\label{beta_alpha_bar}
\end{align}
Here, $\bar{\alpha}$ is defined by
\begin{align}
\bar{\alpha}:=\f{\exp\Lt[-\f{2 \e ^x}{\Delta}\Rt]}{\Lt( 1+\f{2 \e ^x}{\Delta}\Rt) ^2}\alpha
=\f{\e^{-2 m_0 r}}{\Lt( 1+2 m_0 r\Rt) ^2}\alpha \, .
\end{align}
In (\ref{beta_alpha_bar}), the numerical coefficients of each powers of $\bar{\alpha}$ are
equal to those in case of the massless model.
This situation is not changed from (\ref{beta}) but the $\Delta$ dependence in the beta function in
(\ref{beta_alpha_bar}) is different from that in (\ref{beta}).
Since $\bar{\alpha}<\alpha$, this could be interpreted as the screening effect due to the mass term.

In order to investigate the renormalization flow of the massive theory we now remove the explicit
scale dependence from the expression in (\ref{eq_beta}).
For this purpose, we introduce the new variable $w(x)$ corresponding to scale and
rewrote (\ref{eq_beta}) as follows,
\begin{align}
\Lt( 1+\f{2 \e ^x}{\Delta}\Rt) \tilde{\beta}
=\f{2\exp\Lt[-\f{2 \e ^x}{\Delta}\Rt]}{w'}\alpha^2
+\f{w'}{2}\Lt(\f{d\tilde{\beta}^2}{d\alpha}-\f{\tilde{\beta}^2}{\alpha}
+\f{1}{(w')^2}\f{d(w')^2}{d\alpha}\tilde{\beta}^2\Rt)
\label{eq_beta_tilde}\, .
\end{align}
Here we have defined $w':=\f{dw}{dx}$ and $\tilde{\beta}:=\f{d\alpha}{dw}$.
We now require
\begin{align}
\f{2 \e ^x}{\Delta} =\f{1}{2w'}\f{d(w')^2}{d\alpha}\tilde{\beta}=\f{dw'}{dw}
\end{align}
on (\ref{eq_beta_tilde}), that is,
\begin{align}
w(x) = \Ei (2 \e ^x/\Delta) -\Lt( \gamma +\log(2/\Delta) \Rt)
= \Ei (2 m_0 r) -\Lt( \gamma +\log(2 m_0 r_0) \Rt) \, .
\label{Eiwx}
\end{align}
Here we have chosen one of integration constants so that we have $w(x)=x$ in the massless limit.
Another constant can be arbitrary because it is identified with the constant factor
of $\tilde{\beta}$.
By using (\ref{Eiwx}), we find
\begin{align}
w'(x)=\exp\Lt[\f{2 \e ^x}{\Delta}\Rt]\, ,
\end{align}
and we obtain
\begin{align}
\tilde{\beta} =\f{2}{(w')^2} \alpha ^2
+\f{w'}{2}\Lt(\f{d\tilde{\beta}^2}{d\alpha}-\f{\tilde{\beta}^2}{\alpha} \Rt) \, .
\end{align}
We now define the screened coupling constant as
\begin{align}
\tilde{\alpha}:=\f{\alpha}{w'}=\exp\Lt[-\f{2 \e ^x}{\Delta}\Rt]\alpha \, .
\end{align}
Then we obtain
\begin{align}
\tilde{\beta}(\tilde{\alpha})=2\tilde{\alpha}^2
+\f{1}{2}\Lt( \f{d\tilde{\beta}(\tilde{\alpha})^2}{d\tilde{\alpha}}
 -\f{\tilde{\beta}(\tilde{\alpha})^2}{\tilde{\alpha}} \Rt)
 -\f{dw'}{dw}\f{d\tilde{\beta}(\tilde{\alpha})}{d\tilde{\alpha}} \tilde{\alpha} \, .
\label{eq_beta_tilde2}
\end{align}
Eq.~(\ref{eq_beta_tilde2}) is identical with the equation corresponding to the case
of massless model up to the last term which depends on $w$ explicitly.
For remove this $w$ dependence, we introduce the {\it effective mass}
as $p^\mu p_\mu\phi=m_{\mathrm{eff}}^2\phi$, namely,
\begin{align}
m_{\mathrm{eff}}^2=m_0 ^2+\lambda_0 \phi ^2=m_0 ^2
 - \f{\alpha\e^{-2m_0 r}}{r^2}=m_0 ^2\Lt\{1-4\tilde{\alpha}\Lt(\f{dw'}{dw}\Rt)^{-2}\Rt\}\, .
\end{align}
Then by using (\ref{eq_beta_tilde2}), we obtain
\begin{align}
\tilde{\beta}(\tilde{\alpha})=2\tilde{\alpha}^2
+\f{1}{2}\Lt( \f{d\tilde{\beta}(\tilde{\alpha})^2}{d\tilde{\alpha}}
 -\f{\tilde{\beta}(\tilde{\alpha})^2}{\tilde{\alpha}} \Rt)
 -2\sqrt{\f{m_0 ^2}{m_0 ^2-m_{\mathrm{eff}}^2}}
\f{d\tilde{\beta}(\tilde{\alpha})}{d\tilde{\alpha}}\tilde{\alpha}^{\f{3}{2}}\, .
\label{eq_beta_tilde3}
\end{align}
We regard $m_\mathrm{eff}$ as the screened physical mass by taking account for the
$\lambda\phi ^4$ interaction.
Therefore when we like to investigate the renormalization flow of the coupling constant
$\alpha$, we need to solve (\ref{eq_beta_tilde3}) on fixed $m_\mathrm{eff}^2$.

Although the expression of (\ref{eq_beta_tilde3}) is completely different from that
in case of the massless model, surprisingly, for fixed $m_\mathrm{eff}^2$,
the numerical solutions of (\ref{eq_beta_tilde3}) have the behavior identical with that in the massless model
even if we choose the value of $\sqrt{m_0 ^2/\left(m_0^2-m_{\mathrm{eff}}^2\right)}$ large or small.
Furthermore, in order that $\sqrt{m_0 ^2/\left(m_0^2-m_{\mathrm{eff}}^2\right)}$ in Eq.~(\ref{eq_beta_tilde3})
could be real, the value of $m_\mathrm{eff}^2$ is restricted to be $-\infty<m_\mathrm{eff}^2<m_0^2$
but there should exist the limit of $m_\mathrm{eff}^2\to +\infty$ and the solutions would be realized
for arbitrary $m_\mathrm{eff}^2$.
For these reasons, we can take the limit $m_0\rightarrow \infty $, namely,
$\sqrt{m_0 ^2/\left(m_0 ^2-m_{\mathrm{eff}}^2\right)}\rightarrow 1$,
and we can check that the behavior is also identical with that in the massless model in this limit.

\section{Summary}

In this paper we generalized the approach of Ref.~\cite{Dvali:2011uu} for massive theory and have investigated
the structure of the classical renormalization group of the $\lambda \phi^4$ model with mass,
as in case of massless $\lambda \phi^4$ model in \cite{Dvali:2011uu}.
We find the classical beta function perturbatively as in (\ref{beta}) by solving
the recursive equation (\ref{f_tilde(r)}) by choosing the renormalization condition as
in \cite{Dvali:2011uu} and identifying the infrared cutoff $R$ with the inverse of the bare mass $m_0$, $R=1/m_0$.
The obtained beta function is identical with that of the massless $\lambda \phi^4$ model in \cite{Dvali:2011uu}
up to the corrections of $1/\Delta$ which is the ratio of the IR cutoff to UV cutoff
and these corrections can be interpreted as the screening effects due to the mass term.
Since the numerical coefficients of each powers of $\alpha$ are equal to the case of the massless theory,
we expect that the perturbative classical beta function (\ref{beta}) could describe the correct behavior
of the classical renormalization flow.
However, because of the divergence in the massless limit $\Delta\rightarrow \infty $,
this perturbative beta function would be unreliable.

Therefore, we have analyzed the classical beta function non-perturbatively
by introducing the effective mass and using Eq.~(\ref{eq_beta_tilde3}).
This equation has a structure similar to that of the equation in the massless theory, and coincides with the
equation in the massless theory in the massless limit.
We should note, however, that Eq.~(\ref{eq_beta_tilde3}) is not the equation for $\beta(\alpha)$
but that for the scaled beta function and the screened coupling constant $\tilde{\beta}(\tilde{\alpha})$.
Since these scalings are monotonic, however, the solution of this equation describes the renormalization
flow of original variables.
So, we solved Eq.~(\ref{eq_beta_tilde3}) on a fixed effective mass, and we obtained the behavior identical
with that in the massless model numerically.

Consequently, we conclude that the classical analysis of the structure in the renormalization group
for $\lambda \phi^4$ model such as that in Ref.~\cite{Dvali:2011uu} is even available in the massive theory,
and verify the screening effects of the mass term.

Finally, we comment on two subjects.
First, we discussed the overall structure of the renormalization group of $\lambda \phi^4$ model
for both of negative and positive coupling constant.
We obtained the equation of classical beta function in positive coupling theory, as in the model
of Ref.~\cite{Dvali:2011uu}, by the replacement $-\alpha$ with $\alpha$ in Eq.~(\ref{eq_beta_tilde3}).
However, this equation would not describe the structure of the renormalization group of the positive coupling theory,
because if we consider the limit of $m_0^2\rightarrow -\infty$, as in the case of the negative theory,
we should replace $-\alpha$ with $\alpha$ again, since the range of the values of $m_\mathrm{eff}^2$
is restricted to be $m_0^2<m_\mathrm{eff}^2<\infty$.
Nevertheless, we can obtain the equation of the positive coupling theory only when $m_\mathrm{eff}^2$
goes to infinity simultaneously with $m_0^2\rightarrow -\infty$,
because in this situation $m_{\mathrm{eff}}^2=m_0 ^2$,
namely $\sqrt{m_0 ^2/(m_0 ^2-m_{\mathrm{eff}}^2)}\rightarrow \infty$,
and we can regard the equation as $d\tilde{\beta}/d\tilde{\alpha}=0$, namely $\beta =0$.
Therefor, it would be suggested that the positive $\lambda \phi^4$ theory is trivial.
Second, it would be interesting now to consider further generalization of the model
to curved space-time where the effective mass term $\xi R \phi^2$ appears.
This may be considered in analogy with renormalization group approach in curved
space (for review, see \cite{Odintsov:1990mt}).

East Divisional Series Preview
With an 8-2 victory over the Vancouver Canadians on Saturday afternoon – before one of the best crowds of the entire season, the Boise Hawks clinched a berth in the Northwest League East Divisional Series – meeting the Tri-City Dust Devils in a Best-of-3 match-up.
A four-run first inning was all the Hawks needed in the win – as Jean Sandoval and the bullpen continued an outstanding run, as Boise has allowed just 12 runs in the last six games, helping the squad win 5-of-6. Ryan Cuneo had four hits, with Reggie Golden and Rafael Lopez each adding three hits in the clincher. Hear Reggie Golden's eighth inning homer and the final out here (http://yotestats.i8.com/hawks/highlights9-3-11.wma).
It's on to the postseason for the first time since the 2006 season, when Salem-Keizer defeated Boise three games to one (before the split season model was adopted). The Hawks have not won a league pennant since the 2004 season, when they swept the Best-of-5 series with Vancouver.
In the divisional series, Tri-City will be a formidable opponent, as the Hawks have won 4-of-6 against the Dust Devils at Memorial Stadium, but have lost 5-of-6 at Gesa Stadium, though four of the five losses have been by three runs or less. Tri-City has the best pitching staff in the league, with a team ERA at 3.07 – with Christian Bergman, Tyler Gagnon, and Ben Alsup expected to be their three-man rotation against the Hawks, the trio allowing eight runs in 26 innings this season against Boise. The Hawks will have to keep catcher Ryan Casteel, who hit .414 with seven doubles and six RBI against Boise, and OF Brian Humphries, who had two homers and nine RBI against the squad, in check.
Jose Rosario gets the ball for the Hawks in Game 1 – having allowed just one earned run in nine-plus innings this season against the Dust Devils. Knuckleballer Joe Zeller will get the nod at windy Gesa Stadium in Game 2, while Ben Wells, coming off his best outing of the season on Friday night, would pitch Game 3. Top hitters for the Hawks against the Dust Devils this season have been Willson Contreras (11-for-34 with four RBI) and Ryan Cuneo (4-for-11, 2 2B, 2 HR, 4 RBI).
Game 1 is set for 6:45 p.m. at Memorial Stadium – with Hawkstown Tonight coming to you live at 6 p.m. on 1350 KTIK-AM. Game 2 (and Game 3, if necessary) will be at 8:15 p.m. (MT), with our pregame report at 8 p.m.
Probable Pitching Matchups – Game 1: Jose Rosario (6-3 3.53 ERA) vs. Christian Bergman (7-5 2.59 ERA), 6:45 p.m.; Game 2: Joe Zeller (2-0 1.95 ERA) vs. Tyler Gagnon (4-3 2.57 ERA), 8:15 p.m. (MT); Game 3 Ben Wells (4-4 4.66 ERA) vs. Ben Alsup (3-3 3.23 ERA), 8:15 p.m. (MT)
In the Western Division, Vancouver earned the second spot in the postseason, after Everett lost their season finale at Spokane, 4-2, giving the C's the berth with the second best overall record. Vancouver hosts Eugene in Game 1 on Monday afternoon, with Games 2 and 3 in Eugene on Tuesday and Wednesday.
If the Hawks win the divisional set, they would either open at home Friday vs. Vancouver, or open at Eugene on Thursday night.
On another note – congratulations to our media relations intern, Laura Verillo, who will be moving on to a position with the New York Yankees…the team decided to give her a ton of props in a true baseball way – with Shaving Cream Pies after Saturday's game…luckily, it was captured on video and you can watch it here.
Win and Hawks are in…
The 3,599 fans that were in attendance – tonight's game between the Hawks and Vancouver was truly a playoff atmosphere, and were treated to a playoff type game. Rafael Lopez's two-run homer in the sixth exuded the largest cheers of the season from the hometown crowd, though the collective gasp on Nick Baligod's RBI double in the ninth was just as dramatic in the C's 3-2 win.
Luckily for the hometown nine, the playoff scenarios played out perfectly. Tri-City won to clinch the East Division second half title, Everett hung on to defeat Spokane, 7-5, allowing the Hawks to maintain a one-game lead on the Indians in the overall standings with just one game left.
The playoff scenario is simple – if the Hawks win tomorrow's 11:35 a.m. matinee, they will advance to the postseason for the first time since 2006 – meeting Tri-City in a Best of 3 divisional series, starting Monday. If the Hawks were to lose, they are not out – they must wait hours for the Everett-Spokane game to finish, and if Spokane were to lose – the Hawks would still move on.
For Vancouver, tomorrow's game is meaningless – their playoff hopes are out of their hands. They are Eugene and Spokane fans – as if either Eugene defeats Yakima, or Everett tops Spokane, the Canadians will move on. Eugene holds a one-game lead on Everett in the 2nd half race, and if Eugene wins the second half pennant outright – Vancouver has the best overall mark. However, if Everett pulls even with Eugene, they will advance, as the Aquasox hold the tiebreaker.

Playoff Scenarios, Records, and All-Stars…
Two games remaining in the regular season and the playoff picture in the Northwest League is still a bit cloudy, but getting clearer by the day – as the Hawks look to try an advance to the postseason for the first time since 2006.
Boise currently leads Spokane by one game in the overall standings with a record of 35-39 with those two games remaining – needing to finish ahead of the Indians to have a chance at the postseason. A win by Tri-City or a loss by Yakima in the final two games of the season will give the Dust Devils the second half pennant, sending either Boise or Spokane to the Divisional Series, beginning on Monday.
Best case scenario for the Hawks would be the ability to clinch tonight – having Tri-City defeat Salem-Keizer (the only team in the league that has been eliminated from the playoff chase), and Everett defeat Spokane.
The West Division race is also up for grabs, as Eugene leads Everett by one game in the second half standings. If Everett ties or overtakes the Ems, the defending NWL champions will earn the second spot from the West (they own the tiebreak over Eugene with a 4-3 record in the second half against the Emeralds). However, if Eugene finishes a game ahead of the Aquasox – Vancouver can still reach the postseason by winning with the best overall record in the West (same scenario as the Hawks).
POSTSEASON SCHEDULE: The West Divisional series will open with Tri-City on the road at either Boise, Spokane, or Yakima on Monday night – the game to be played at 6:45 p.m. at Memorial Stadium if the Hawks earn the berth. Game 2 (and Game 3 if necessary) would be played at Gesa Stadium in the Tri-Cities, beginning at 8:15 p.m. (MT) each night.
It gets goofy from there – if the Hawks were to win the Divisional series, they would host Game 1 of the Best-of-3 LCS on Friday the 9th, if they play either Vancouver or Everett…if they were to face Eugene, the series would begin Thursday the 8th, at PK Park in Eugene, with Games 2 and 3 at Memorial Stadium on the 9th and 10th (as the University of Oregon is hosting a football game on the 10th). If Boise were to play Everett, Games 2 and 3 would be in Everett on the 10th and 11th, while if it were Vancouver, there would be a travel day, with Games 2 and 3 on the 11th and 12th.
RECORD BREAKERS: Paul Hoilman broke a pair of Boise Hawks' franchise records on Wednesday night, surpassing the club record for home runs in a season with a second inning blast (listen to the audio call at http://yotestats.i8.com/hawks/highlights8-31-11.wma), surpassing Russ Canzler, who it 16 HR's in 2006. The slugger also became the first player in team history to eclipse the 100 strikeout plateau in a year with a fourth inning K and now has 102 strikeouts on the season – four strikeouts away from Lee Tinsley's NWL record.
Bryce Shafer locked down his 12th save of the season last night – becoming the first Boise player since Bo Donaldson in 1997 to record more than 11 saves. Jason Wylie had 11 saves for the 2002 NWL champion Hawks.
ALL-STARS: Two Hawks were honored by the NWL this season as postseason All-Stars, as Hoilman earned the nod at first-base, while Rafael Lopez was honored as the top catcher in the league. They weren't the only former Hawks to earn all-star honors, as Justin Bour and Hak-Ju Lee were named to the Florida State League team, with Canzler earning Most Valuable Player honors by the International League after an outstanding season with the Durham Bulls.
CALL UPS: With the September MLB rosters expanded to 40 men yesterday, a pair of former Hawks earned call-ups from their big league affiliate – as Brandon Guyer has rejoined the Tampa Bay Rays and Jerry Blevins rejoined the Oakland Athletics. A total of six first-year MLB players that previously played for the Hawks have debuted in 2011.

Q: Add local jar to pom.xml of Spring boot application I have created two spring boot applications - foo and bar. I then created a jar file for bar with the command mvn clean package, which resulted in the bar-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar file. Using mvn install:install-file -Dfile=target/bar-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar -DpomFile=pom.xml as mentioned in this post, I installed this jar to my local .m2 repository.
Then in the pom.xml of foo, I added the following dependency:
<dependency>
    <groupId>com.foobarcompany</groupId>
    <artifactId>bar</artifactId>
    <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>

Now, when I run the foo app from STS, it runs correctly, but if I try to run it form terminal with mvn spring-boot:run or try to package foo with mvn clean package, I get the following error:
package com.foobarcompany.bar.service does not exist

which is referring to a service present in the bar app that I'm calling from the foo app.
As far as I understand, the dependency is not correctly added and the reason it works from STS is because both applications are under the same workspace.
I have even tried adding a local maven repository as mentioned in this answer but even that doesn't seem to work. Or maybe I'm doing it wrong.
Could anyone please tell me what the correct way to add a local jar to another application is?

A: You missed artifactid, version and groupid, please use below command.
mvn install:install-file -Dfile=<path-to-file> -DgroupId=<group-id>
-DartifactId=<artifact-id> -Dversion=<version> -Dpackaging=<packaging>

Reference:
https://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-3rd-party-jars-local.html

A: I have done mvn clean install to publish it to .m2 folder. After that I have added it as dependency (which you have already done). Last step is to add @ComponentScan(basePackages = { "com.foobarcompany.bar", "com.foobarcompany.foo" }) on your main class, where your @SpringBootApplication is placed. I can start application with mvn spring-boot:run. This worked for me.

Bottom Line: It's worth investigating for teachers looking for a classroom-style Goodreads where students can discuss books, but watch out for mature books.
English teachers work hard to create literature circles where each student has a role; they do this to provide the structures and support for students to become proficient at academic discussions surrounding texts. While literature circles are still a valid way to extend thinking, discussion, and study of a text, Kudos Reading offers an online twist by facilitating these discussions over the web. Use Kudos Reading as an extension to any assigned literature in class to obtain visible evidence of learning and discussion that just wouldn't be possible or true of a classroom group discussion. The feedback the teacher can offer will be more descriptive and useful to students.
Teachers will want to model what a proficient discussion looks like to build valuable digital citizenship skills alongside reading skills. To do so, make sure to add engaging discussion questions -- the paid version includes premade questions -- for club members to answer alongside their reading, and, if you want, add tricky vocabulary that students might struggle with throughout the text. Once responses come in, teachers (and students) can comment to model constructive feedback. Teachers may also want to grade students' responses using the built-in feature, but based on a rubric teachers create since there aren't any rubrics included. While Kudos Reading isn't meant to replace classroom conversations, once teachers have modeled and practiced in the classroom, it can be a great place to gradually release that responsibility to students.
Common Core ELA
Kudos Reading is a social reading platform for classrooms, kind of like Goodreads, but private to a group of students and a teacher. There are books for almost every English teacher, whether you are a first grade teacher or a teacher of seniors in high school; however, the site's design definitely skews younger. Book Clubs are Kudos Reading's term for groups of students who are all reading and discussing the same book. These clubs can be customized with teacher-created discussion questions. There's also a bank of premade questions available with a subscription. After students respond to questions, teachers and students can comment on the responses and vote them up as with social media posts. Students can browse books, rate them, add them to reading lists, and make book recommendations to classmates. These social aspects of the platform make Kudos Reading a more authentic experience than some competitors.
To get started, teachers log in and then create an avatar (students do as well), and then they set up a class or Book Club. Click on the Books tab to browse books by genre, by grade level, or, after you've rated a number of books, by suggestion. Teachers then select a book, invite students (either manually from an existing class list or by signing kids up, or by providing students with a code), and create discussion questions or vocab lists. At any time, teachers can click on the Book Clubs tab to edit the club, participate in discussion with students, or give grades to discussions. If teachers have built a word list (words with their definitions), then teachers and students can use the Quest feature which auto-generates games -- word searches, unscrambles, crosswords, drawing, or word matches -- based on the teacher-created word list.
Students will love the freedom they have to discuss and carry on conversations with their group members, and the focus on social media-style discussion of the books can support passionate reading. If teachers take the time to create them, students will also appreciate the connected educational games that accompany each book. Teachers still have to do a fair amount of prep, however. Kudos Reading does not offer prep or tutorials that help students participate responsibly in online discussions, so this falls into the teacher's lap. There's also no built-in dictionary for generating word lists. While there are opportunities for grading discussions, it'd be helpful if Kudos Reading provided a variety of standards-aligned rubrics for assessing student discussions. Finally, while there is some content filtering (curse words as well as terms like "sex" are omitted), we did find inappropriate and mature books while using a student account. Students can only see the covers and synopses of these books, but finding them may still lead to some giggling or awkward conversation.
That said, when it comes to reading platforms, students need ways to use technology to support and advance their learning, not distract from it or sour the joy of reading with quizzes and canned texts. Kudos Reading, by focusing on social discussion and real books kids love, doesn't fall prey to these less-engaging aspects of online reading platforms.
There's a wide array of reading choices and a fairly kid-friendly design, but the book search could be better.
Students can discuss books and curated reading lists while learning valuable digital citizenship skills. The content filtering lets through some mature books, and there's no built-in dictionary for generating vocab lists.
The paid version includes a discussion question bank, and the auto-generated games are useful. However, the site could use better onboarding to orient students in particular.

The inbound sales, CRM and CMS platform HubSpot offers a range of helpful features, templates and tools to help with inbound marketing, but this platform isn't the right fit for everyone. If you aren't using HubSpot's features or if you find the system limiting, you may be considering a HubSpot to WordPress migration.
WordPress is the world's leading CMS, controlling about half of all CMS-based content and running about a third of the entire internet. A wide range of helpful WordPress plugins give you enormous flexibility in design and functionality, and the platform is relatively intuitive and easy to use. If you're ready to make the switch, this process can help to simplify your HubSpot to WordPress migration.
First off, it's important to remember that all CMSs are different. No matter which CMS you're converting from or to, there will not be a one-to-one transfer for all of your data. Keeping this in mind from the start will give you the flexibility you need to not only move your site, but improve it.
When migrating between CMSs, it's a perfect time to do a site redesign and a content audit. Instead of copying over all of your content and copying your design, get rid of content you no longer need, modernize your design and give your users a better experience. This will create customer-facing value from your HubSpot to WordPress migration, while also giving your own users a better experience.
Creating a new, modern design using WordPress's themes and customization tools is ideal for your HubSpot to WordPress migration. You might find a theme that suits your new site and customize it, or build your own theme.
If you're not ready to part with your HubSpot templates, or you want to use them to inform your new one, you can export your templates as HTML files. Select the Marketing tab from your top toolbar, then Files and Templates and Design Tools. From here, you'll have access to all your templates, including your modules, blog, emails, pages, and more. To export a template, select the template you want, then select Clone to HTML from the Actions menu at the top.
Whether you're shifting your HubSpot theme over to WordPress or you're looking for a completely new design, remember to create a site that is human-centered. This means it should be based on how your customers want it to work, and not how you think it should work. Do some user testing, and ask your customers what they would like to see from your website. This way, your website redesign will create value, instead of simply copying over an old format.
For your HubSpot to WordPress migration to be successful, you need to take the SEO value of your previous design and transfer it to WordPress. Improving your design will decrease bounce rates and increase a user's time on a page, which will boost your SEO value, but there are other considerations as well. A variety of factors influence your SEO, including the keywords you choose, meta information, features like pop-ups, mobile usability, and much more.
The key to improving your SEO when you make your HubSpot to WordPress migration is to improve your site design while maintaining your original SEO value. Keeping your original domain and URLs is helpful here, especially if you have a stream of steady traffic already. If you're changing your domain or reconfiguring your site with different URLs—for example, changing the URL structure of your blog to contain each posts's keyword—you'll need a list of 301 redirects. In WordPress, you can import a list under Tools and Redirection.
If you're migrating your blog from HubSpot to WordPress, you can use the Export button on your HubSpot blog to download a .CSV. In this spreadsheet, you'll want to map the URLs of your old HubSpot blog posts to your new WordPress posts. This can be a demanding task if you have hundreds of blog posts. WordPress plugins like Yoast can automate this process and make it easier to import and redirect your blog and other parts of your site.
It may seem counter-intuitive, but importing every single blog post might not be the best way to preserve SEO value. Conduct a content audit and determine which posts are actually driving traffic and engagement. Make sure these are successfully redirected and formatted properly. For posts that don't meet traffic or engagement minimums you set, save the content, but consider leaving them out of your HubSpot to WordPress migration. If the content is outdated or no longer relevant, let it go. If the content is too short, doesn't target the right keywords, or could benefit from other improvements, considering changing it and posting it as fresh content.
So you've successfully migrated your central pages and your blog. This is the bulk of your migration from HubSpot to WordPress, but a few key elements are still missing. For your migrated content to work and for your website to work successfully within your inbound strategy, you need strategies to move customers through the buyer's funnel. This includes functional elements like CTAs, forms, landing pages, tracking, email marketing integration, and CRM system integration, among others.
Since WordPress is the most-used CRM system and it's supported by thousands of plugins made and managed by talented developers, many of these functions can be completed by installing plugins. You can find and install these plugins from the WordPress plugins page, or you can find integrations with the services you already use, like MailChimp for email automation or the SalesForce CRM. You can use these plugins to create new assets like forms and CTAs, or some plugins allow you to import your HubSpot assets (you can export them using the Marketing, Design Tools, and Actions tab detailed at the beginning of this post). Many WordPress plugins are free, so you may find that your costs decrease substantially.
HubSpot is a popular marketing and CRM platform with many benefits, but a HubSpot to WordPress migration can save many businesses time, money, and provide more value. Take your time to get acquainted with WordPress and find plugins you like. Look at this process as revamping, updating, and refreshing your site to boost value, not just a technical chore to mark off the list. With this mindset, you'll get a valuable, user-oriented website as well as a functional, user-friendly CRM.

Lawmakers' environmental scores released
JONETTA BADILLO
Published 12:00 am EST, Tuesday, November 29, 2011
With 187 senators and representatives in the state, only 38 were awarded perfect scores from the Connecticut League of Conservation Voters for their support and advocacy of environmental initiatives for the year 2011.
The environmental scorecard is completed annually at the end of each legislative session and grades state lawmakers on how they voted on important environmental bills. This year, legislators were graded on whether they were for or against 12 main environmental bills.
The group, also referred to as the legislative watchdog, was established in 1988 and the bipartisan, statewide, nonprofit organization works on laws that affect Connecticut's air, water, wildlife, open space, transportation, energy choices and health.
Out of 36 state senators, just nine received a 100 percent rating. Of the two legislators in Middlesex County, state Sen. Len Suzio was the only one who obtained a perfect score earlier this month at 100 percent. The league graded state Sen. Eileen M. Daily with a C average, or 75 percent. Daily did not return a phone call seeking comment.
Serving his first term as senator, Suzio said he was "thrilled" to know that his hard work was recognized.
"There can sometimes be a conflict between business and environmental consideration," he said. "I really try to be environmentally responsible. Environmental issues were a priority for me."
During this year's legislative session, Suzio said he co-sponsored on a bill with state Sen. Ed Meyer which pertained to the banning of the usage of a chemical called Bisphenol A found in cash register receipts and baby bottles. Over exposure to any items contaminated with Bisphenol A could result in much damage to the human body in the long run, the state senator said.
"This was a good example of how the balancing act [worked] between the business and environment," Suzio said.
Of the state representatives, only 31 out of 151 earned a 100 percent rating, including Matt Lesser, D-100; Gail Hamm, D-32; Phillip J. Miller, D-36; and state Rep. Linda Orange D-48.
State Rep. Joseph Serra, D-33, scored a 71, and state Reps. Christie Carpino, R-32, and James Crawford, D-35, barely passed, both getting an average of 67. Both Serra and Carpino were contacted but did not return phone calls seeking comment Tuesday.
The League of Conservation Voters' website says "34 state lawmakers received failing grades this year -- more than in 2008, 2009 and 2010 combined."
Lesser, serving his third year representing Durham, Middlefield and Middletown, has managed to earn a perfect score from the league three years in a row.
"I'm proud of my environmental record and the work we are doing to put Connecticut in the lead when it comes to creating new green jobs and reducing our reliance on foreign oil," Lesser said in a statement. "We showed this year that economic growth and environmental stewardship can go hand in hand."
During the 2011 legislative session, Lesser sponsored generalized energy reform legislation to cut the state's electricity costs and also made efforts to move Connecticut toward cleaner and more efficient energy, he said.
The group's co-chairman, David Bingham, said in a press release that legislators were able to receive above average scores "despite the pressures of economic distress" and still "upheld policies that are critical to providing clean air and water and making Connecticut an inviting state to do business."

I definitely did not mean to offend or hurt anyone.
There's a fine line between being thought-provoking and provocative. I try for the former but may unintentionally end up at the latter. Working on getting better at that.
I choose analogies because I believe they help convey my ideas. I realize two of the ones I've used here (race and sexual orientation) will be sensitive for some people. It doesn't mean I don't use these analogies. But I will exercise caution.
So while I still stand by what I wrote, I acknowledge my writing needs to be tightened and clarified. I appreciate the help in getting there.
That's it for now. Regularly scheduled programming to resume shortly.
You mean "stand by the intent of what you wanted to convey"? "Stand by what I wrote" could mean something different to people who were offended. Not sure. Nice post.

Holiday toll a 'needless waste of life'
4 Jan, 2012 06:11 AM 6 minutes to read
Eighteen people died on New Zealand's roads over the Christmas holiday period. Photo / John Borren
Matthew Backhouse
Assistant Chief of Staff
Police have called the holiday road toll a "needless waste of human life".
Eighteen people died from 4pm on December 23 to 6am today - up 50 per cent on the same period last year, when 12 people died.
National road policing manager Superintendent Paula Rose said disappointment did not come close to describing how she felt about the holiday road toll.
"This is just so much more significant than that - it's standing by and seeing needless waste of human life time and time again," she told APNZ.
Ms Rose said two thirds of the fatal crashes had involved alcohol, speed or a combination of both.
At least four people would have been highly likely to have survived if they had been wearing seat belts.
"They're things that we can do something about right now, each and everyone of us. Then we'd have less families grieving."
Ms Rose said the holiday fatalities followed a remarkably low national road toll, with 284 deaths last year - the lowest annual toll since 1952.
"The 18 dead over the holiday period is not, I think, a sign of things to come. I think it's just a bad two weeks on our roads, and we can change that tomorrow."
Ms Rose said four of the crashes had been double fatalities, which was unusual.
'Stupidity' blamed for road deaths
Tourists' death pushes road toll to 18
Our deadliest roads
Paul Thomas: Holiday peace is great - so why all the deadly rush?
Most people had been driving well and had taken safety messages on board.
A focus on lowering speeds meant the overall number of crashes was down, and people were walking away from crashes with fewer serious injuries.
Transport Minister Gerry Brownlee said the national holiday road toll was a "disappointing result".
"Every fatality and serious injury is a tragedy for the families and loved ones of those involved," he said.
"Many people will still be returning from holidays and I urge drivers to take extra care to focus on the job at hand."
Ministry of Transport official would be analysing the causes of the fatal crashes over the holiday period, Mr Brownlee said.
Police today named two people killed in one of the four double fatality crashes during the holiday period.
Dunedin man David Morris, 82, and German woman Kerstin Fromert, 51, died after a car and campervan collided head-on on the Haast Highway on December 28.
Detective Malcolm Haughey of Westport police said a crash analysis had shown the driver of the campervan, who was also a German tourist, had been driving on the wrong side of the road.
"At the time he began braking he was completely within the northbound lane heading south, completely within the right-hand side of the road," he told APNZ.
It was not known whether the driver had forgotten which side of the road he was meant to stick to.
Mr Haughey said no other factors were thought to have contributed to the crash.
Police have not yet named two women who died in crashes this year.
A 22-year-old woman was struck and killed on New Year's Day on a motorway near the Auckland Airport, while a German tourist died after the van she was in collided with a ute north of Hunterville.
Canterbury road policing manager Inspector Al Stewart today said it was disappointing that the three holiday fatalities in the region were all young men in their 20s.
"They had all been drinking alcohol, they were all speeding and none of them were wearing seatbelts. If you want common themes, that's what we call the trifecta - all three of the big contributors to road fatalities," he told APNZ.
Mr Stewart said most young male drivers were responsible and took road safety messages on board, but there would always be some who did not.
"There's just some we're still not getting to, and that's something we're going to have to have a good, hard look at and see how we're going to do that."
The road toll in Canterbury dropped to 32 last year, down from 47 the previous year, but that was still "totally unacceptable".
"Any death on our road is unacceptable when you consider the impact it has on the family, the community and society as a whole."
Meanwhile, the Northland region achieved its lowest annual road toll on record, with a total of seven deaths last year.
It is the first time since records began in 1970 that the number of deaths has dipped below 20.
Relieving road policing manager Senior Sergeant Steve Dickson said the region had averaged 34 road deaths each year.

Discussion in 'The Sound Hound Lounge' started by GrungeMan, May 10, 2016.
The Rides are Stephen Stills Kenny Wayne Shepherd Barry Goldberg Kevin McCormick and Chris Layton. They just released their sophomore album Pierced Arrow, it's a bluesy funky soulful rocker offering with lots of tasty guitar from Stills and Shepherd, keys from Goldberg, great rhythm grooves from McCormick and Layton, Stills' voice is in good form. Eight original co-written tracks by the band members, one redone "oldie" from Goldberg and a cover of Willie Dixon's My Babe. Check it out it's a great listenable album!
Thanks for the heads up. Heavy blues, and some fine musicianship.
Yer welcome. Any one else gives this gem a listen?
Yes Hah! that would be two bands with Layton, the bassist Kevin McCormick is from Jackson Browne, CSN...Whattaya think, got yer foot tappin?
Anything from the CSN/Y family I'm going to check out as they were my first music love...them & Neil.
marktweedy and GrungeMan like this.
Throwing some young blood(KWS) into the mix seemed to rejuvenate the old dogs Stills and Goldberg!
marktweedy and aynirar27 like this.
A few years ago Stills was dealing with severe hearing impairement so much so that his speech was/is garbled and his tone was shrill because of it, now with improved hearing aids his tone and speech vocals has improved. Have you listened to the two releases "Can't Get Enough" and "Pierced Arrow" by The Rides?
If so, that's AWESOME! I've loved Stills since Buffalo-Springfield. I've seen him live, several times, in several group settings. The last couple of times (the latest was with CSN, a couple of years ago), it was really disappointing. He was strutting like a guitar hero, overplaying, with terribly shrill tone. His vocals were slurred and flat.
He's been talking about making a blues album for decades. While I wouldn't really call The Rides' albums "blues", I like some of their stuff (especially the ones that sound like CSN outtakes). I won't be sold, entirely, until they write some better songs, however.
That's what I thought was so. refreshing about it, to me none of it sounded like CSN.
Couldn't find much on youtube, just found a documentary. The music sounds great.
At first I found a band called Pierced Arrows doing a song called "Let It Rain". Sounded like a dry heave put to music!
I'll buy it. I liked their first album. They're touring, but the ticket prices are astronomical, IMO.
Love KWS. Saw him opening for VH last summer and he was great.
Not really paid attention to them as my 1st exposure was not really impressive. You know 1 chance to make a good impression. Interesting about Stills, heard him on the radio and thought he's had a small stroke.
Their new album is fantastic. Obviously all very talented musicians. But, yeah, the tix are a bit much.
Here they didn't appear to be able to sell enough tickets for a theater so they moved to BB King's Blues Club - a restaurant/bar scene. Tickets for standing at the bar were $58 + fees =~ $75. Seats at tables were $125 plus another $20 minimum order in food/drink per person.
They were on PBS "Front and Center" for an hour, last fall. I felt bad for Stills. The others were OK, but it did nothing for me.
Of course, they've already passed through our area. I just couldn't justify the cost. I would have gone if I could have gotten away for $50 or so. Oh well.
From what i've listened to I am not all that excited. Maybe with all those names I expected more.
This said I'll give it at least one more listen to be on the sure side.

Bill to create Latino museum on National Mall moves ahead
Posted: Jul 26, 2020 / 02:20 PM MDT / Updated: Sep 15, 2020 / 10:19 AM MDT

A 23-member commission was established in 2008 to study the viability of a museum for American Latinos, and the commission said in a 2011 report that creation of a museum on the National Mall was feasible.
In July 2020, the House passed a bill to establish a Smithsonian museum for American Latinos that would showcase Latino history, art and culture. The bill now goes to the Senate, where it has bipartisan support. The museum would be similar to the National Museum of African American History and Culture, which opened on the mall in 2016.
The Congressional Hispanic Caucus hailed the bill's passage, noting that a museum honoring Latinos has been under consideration for more than 15 years. "The Latino story is an American story, and our history is a central thread in the history of our nation," said Rep. Joaquin Castro, D-Texas, the group's chairman.
"Latinos have fought in every U.S. war. Food and music from Latin America are enjoyed in every American city. American Latinos are parents, veterans, teachers, activists, innovators, artists, scientists, business owners … and so much more," Castro said. "Now, more than ever, America's Latinos deserve to have our story told and our voices to be heard."
"The National Mall is the most visited national park with over 25 million visitors each year. It's nicknamed 'America's Front Yard.' It's a testament to the accomplishments, history and diversity of the people that make up these United States of America," said Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler, R-Wash. "However, there are almost 60 million Americans whose stories, contributions and traditions do not have a platform or spotlight" on the mall, which stretches from the Capitol to the Lincoln Memorial in downtown Washington.
Millions of people, "both Mexican Americans like me and people of other heritages, value those contributions to our union and want to see that platform become part of our country's message," said Herrera Beutler, the first Hispanic member of Congress from Washington state.
Sen. John Cornyn, a Texas Republican who co-sponsored the Senate bill, urged his colleagues to approve the bill and send it to the White House.
"Close to 40 percent of all Texans identify as Hispanic, and their history is an integral part of Texas history that must be recognized and remembered," Cornyn said in a statement. "By creating a new museum in the Smithsonian Institution, we can honor American Latino contributions and highlight their stories for future generations."
If such a measure is approved by Congress and signed by President Donald Trump, the Smithsonian Institution would have two years to appoint a board of directors and locate a site for the museum.
