JWT Automatic Build
- 1 Automatic build of JWT Features and Plugins
Automatic build of JWT Features and Plugins
Helpful resources
- General information about building
- Article from Markus Barchfeld about automatic building
- Sample project
What we did
- First, we downloaded CVS support for the command line: [CVS]
- Afterwards, we downloaded PDE Releng:
cvs -d :pserver:firstname.lastname@example.com:/cvsroot/eclipse export -r HEAD org.eclipse.releng.eclipsebuilder
- We set some system variables, e.g. the ECLIPSE_HOME-variable:
set ECLIPSE_HOME=C:\Programme\Eclipse //adapt to your Eclipse home directory
- And also configured the Build target directory:
set BUILD_HOME=C:\Build\New //adapt to your Build directory
Startup the build process
- Generate a build.xml from the feature using right-click, PDE Build -> Generate Ant Script (this creates a build.xml in the feature directory)
- Go to the directory of the feature: cd ...\jwt-we-feature
- Execute:
java -cp %ECLIPSE_HOME%\plugins\org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.0.101.R34x_v20080819.jar org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main -application org.eclipse.ant.core.antRunner -buildfile build.xml -Dcomponent=sdk.examples -Dconfigs="*,*,*" -Dbaseos=win32 -Dbasews=win32 -Dbasearch=x86 -Djavacfailonerror=true -Dpde.build.scripts=%ECLIPSE_HOME%/plugins/org.eclipse.pde.build_3.4.1.R34x_v20080805/scripts -DbaseLocation=%ECLIPSE_HOME% -DbuildDirectory=&BUILD_HOME%
- This generates the JAR-file of the feature.
What we have
Update sites organisation
First, as it is the case in most of "one feature" projects (such as GEF), JWT now has 3 update sites:
- http://download.eclipse.org/technology/jwt/update-site is the update-site that contains the current release of JWT
- http://download.eclipse.org/technology/jwt/integration-update-site is the update-site the could contain any development or nightly build of JWT. Contents of this update-site should only be used by JWT contributors for testing.
- http://download.eclipse.org/technology/jwt/stable-update-site is the update-site for stable development build, and also for Galileo milestones
Start a build for build.eclipse.org
Anyone who has access to build.eclipse.org can now start a build of cvs HEAD by typing from JWT home folder ./build.sh [buildType] where build type is I (default), S or R, respectively for integration, stable or release build.
This script will start the whole build process and update the update-site for the specified build type.
Start a build on your local machine
If you want to build locally JWT, simply checkout the org.eclipse.jwt/releng CVS module and write a script that starts the build with your local configuration (please do not modify build.sh or build.properties, that are build.eclipse.org files). See build.mistria.openwide.sh for example.
Continuous integration
TODO Note that the PDE build process supports unit testing. I've read about several Eclipse projects that used a continuous integration tool (such as cruise, continuum or hudson) to monitor their builds and test results. I'll try to choose if one of these solutions is fine for JWT.

BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — Montana revenue authorities are trying to block former billionaire Tim Blixseth from collecting $3.3 million in attorney fees he's claiming from the state's frustrated efforts to force him into bankruptcy.
Officials said Wednesday that Blixseth should be barred from pursuing the fees while they appeal a July ruling that dismissed the forced bankruptcy case.
The state has alleged the founder of Montana's ultra-exclusive Yellowstone Club owes $57 million in back taxes. If Blixseth goes into bankruptcy and the tax claim holds up, he could be forced to liquidate his assets.
Blixseth, a resident of Washington state, has twice gotten the case dismissed by a now-retired federal judge. That allowed him to seek attorney fees against the plaintiffs in the case under federal bankruptcy law.
In addition to the state, Blixseth also wants to recover the fees from the Yellowstone Club Liquidating Trust. That's a group of creditors who sided with the state as part of the creditors' efforts to collect on a $41 million judgment against Blixseth in the club's 2008 bankruptcy case.
Blixseth gave up the club to his ex-wife shortly before it went into bankruptcy. He's since placed many of his assets in a family trust based in Nevada as a means of shielding it from creditors, according to court records.
Attorneys for the state contend that the money sought by Blixseth reflects charges from dozens of attorneys he employed at hourly rates of up to $750. The state characterized the request as "breathtakingly large" for a bankruptcy case.
The Revenue Department has spent an estimated $800,000 on outside attorneys since the case began in 2011 and has one in-house attorney working on it, officials said Wednesday.
"While Mr. Blixseth is asking the state for $3.3 million in legal fees to pay his 65 attorneys and other consultants, the Montana Department of Revenue has been responsible with public dollars as we attempt to recover unpaid taxes that Mr. Blixseth owes the state and its citizens," Revenue Director Mike Kadas said Wednesday.
A hearing is scheduled Friday before U.S. Bankruptcy Judge William Thurman in Nevada on the state's bid to stop proceedings related to the attorney fees.
Blixseth wrote in a Wednesday email to the Associated Press that "the fees are in line with the national average that lawyers charge, so thus reasonable."
He said he plans to file additional claims for hundreds of millions of dollars in damages against the liquidating trust and the state.
Attorneys for the state said in court filings that Montana would suffer irreparable harm if forced to pay Blixseth since because it would be all but impossible to recover the money if the state prevails on appeal.
The state's claim against Blixseth, which already has been pending for several years, came after a court ruling that he fraudulently transferred a 2005 loan meant for the Yellowstone Club to his personal use.
The state contends that the money he got from the loan was taxable personal income. Blixseth has maintained it was a legitimate business loan intended to finance his creation of an international version of the Yellowstone Club.

20 Tourists Drifting On Canadian Ice Floe Are Back On Solid Ground
In partnership with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, Emergency Measures Organization Iqaluit and other partners, the Canadian Armed forces helped rescue 11 hunters and 20 tourists who found themselves stranded on an ice floe in the remote Nunavut territory Tuesday. Major-General Pierre St-Amand said it was "one of the largest Arctic rescues the Royal Canadian Air Force has been involved in."
"Our crews continuously train to operate effectively in Canada's North, and today that training helped save lives," St-Amand noted. "I am very proud of the hard work our men and women put into this rescue effort."
The adventure travelers awoke Tuesday to find that their camp was no longer connected to land. Moreover, the ice floe on which they were drifting was breaking apart.
Canadian-based Arctic Kingdom Polar Expeditions released a statement Thursday explaining what happened to the tourists on its trip: "A 50km (31 mile) long piece of ice broke off the floe edge, just north of Arctic Bay, Nunavut, yesterday morning. Travelers on Arctic Kingdom's Great Migrations of the Northwest Passage program were at a camp on this ice, which has made its way along Admiralty Inlet, about 12km (7 miles) from its original position. Favorable evening tides helped slow the ice movement, and all 20 staff and travelers were brought back to land."
Arctic Kingdom said it was the first time that a whole camp had drifted away, and it thanked Nunavut Protection Services, the local Arctic Bay Search and Rescue organization, Joint Task Force North from Iqaluit, and the Joint Rescue Coordination Centre in Trenton, Ont., for their coordinated efforts by air and sea to retrieve the group. The agency added, "There are no injuries and the travelers are in good spirits."
Authorities dropped food and supplies -- including three 20-person life rafts and a satellite phone -- Tuesday afternoon amid concerns that the ice floe showed signs of deterioration. Two attempts to rescue the tourists and guides, however, were abandoned due to high wind and fog. After two frightful days stranded in the Canadian Arctic, all were rescued and returned to safe land by Wednesday evening.
Peter MacKay, Minister of National Defense, congratulated everyone who helped in the operation. "A rescue of this scale in such a remote location requires careful coordination with many organizations in Canada's search and rescue system," he stated. "Thanks to the dedication of our men and women in uniform, and to all agencies involved, these people can return safely to their families and loved ones."
Arctic Kingdom likens its trips to African safaris with seals, polar bears and narwhals instead of Big Game, but it has come under criticism for putting the thrill-seekers in a dangerous position. Spokesperson Graham Dickson told Canada's CBC news that "there will be some discussion afterward about things that could be done in the future to prevent or better manage [the situation]."
"It's local knowledge and advice that's the biggest way to stay safe, and we work with the hunters and trappers organizations in the communities where we go, and we take their advice and the advice of the guides on where to go, and when to leave," he said. The hunters told CBC news that the recent "super moon" may have caused high tides and strong currents that were responsible for breaking up the ice earlier than normal this year.

Metaldehyde subject to new labels
By MITCH LIES
For the Capital Press
Beginning this year, the Environmental Protection Agency is imposing new restrictions on commonly used slug baits.
Metaldehyde slug baits will not be cleared for use on crops such as clovers, peas, beans, root crops and wheat on new pesticide labels the product registrant, Lonza, and formulators are expected to roll out this year.
However, the Oregon Department of Agriculture is working with Oregon State University Extension to ensure that uses on clover grown for seed will remain intact under a Special Local Needs label until a second-round of new labels can be issued.
"We hope to be there with a Special Local Needs label, so those growers are not left without coverage," said Rose Kachadoorian, a pesticide specialist with ODA.
A special local needs label, or 24C label, is a state-specific label issued by a state department of agriculture. The 24C label will allow use only on non-food and non-feed clover crops.
Grass seed, berry crops, Swiss chard, rhubarb, mint, ornamentals, lettuce, brassicas, spinach, tomatoes and corn will be included on the new labels, according to Joe DeFrancesco, an integrated pest management specialist at OSU.
Working through the national IR4 Program, the Field Research Center at OSU's North Willamette Research and Extension Center recently submitted tolerance data for clover seed, peas and beans. But tolerances for those crops are not expected until 2015 at the earliest. Data for wheat and hops are in the process of being submitted to EPA, DeFrancesco said.
DeFrancesco said the department is not planning to issue a 24C label for metaldehyde on food crops, such as peas and beans. He said he is exploring the possibility of obtaining an emergency use exemption for metaldehyde on those crops and some root vegetables "if there is not enough product to get through the season."
Growers can use metaldehyde formations registered under the "old label" on all crops listed on the label until that product is exhausted, DeFrancesco said.
"If growers have product on hand with their crop listed on the label, it is perfectly legal to use it," he said. "And if they buy old product with their crop on the label, it is perfectly legal to use.
"It is only if they go out and buy new product and their crop is not on the label, is it then illegal to use," DeFrancesco said.
Growers rely on metaldehyde baits, available in several formulations, to control slugs, which in recent years have emerged as one of the biggest pest problems in many Willamette Valley crops.
No-till and other modern crop management practices have created an ideal environment for slugs to flourish, and growers have struggled to keep populations under control.
Slugs feed on plant roots and foliage. At high numbers, the pest can decimate a new stand of grass seed, clover or any other newly planted, emerging crop.
The recent action by EPA to require new data on metaldehyde baits dates back to 2006, when the agency issued a re-registration-eligibility document stating that the registrant needed to establish tolerances, or safety data, for each crop that metaldehyde is used on.
In 2007, OSU and the IR4 Program, began working on establishing tolerances on several crops, including grass seed, berry crops, mint, rhubarb, Swiss chard and corn.
The IR4 program works to ensure that pesticides are available for minor crops that are commonly grown in Oregon.
EPA issued tolerances for grass seed, berry crops, rhubarb, Swiss chard and mint this past November, ensuring those crops will be on the new labels.
The new labels will allow use of metaldehyde baits on food and feed crops that are listed on the label, in addition to the non-food, non-feed uses.

More than 20 million map packs for Call of Duty: Black Ops have been sold during the first nine months of 2011, Activision revealed last night during an earnings call.
So successful has the DLC been, that digital revenue alone makes it the third biggest title of the year so far.
"Year-to-date, Call of Duty: Black Ops has been a driving force behind both retail and digital sales," said Eric Hirshberg, chief executive officer of Activision Publishing Unit. "For the first nine months of the year, Black Ops has remained #1 title in US and Europe, generating more revenue than any new major console release. In addition to retail sales, Call of Duty: Black Ops has sold more than 20 million Map Packs. The revenues generated from Map Packs alone would make it the third largest console title of the year."
Hirshberg also pointed to the success of the fourth Map Pack, released during the September quarter, as a positive sign for Call of Duty: Elite.
"In the September quarter, we released a fourth Map Pack, something we've never done before. And not only did it positively impact our quarterly results, but it further demonstrates that there is continued consumer interest in the content even 11 months after the launch, making playing Call of Duty truly a year-round activity for millions of our fans," he said. This should bode well for Call of Duty Elite, a key feature of which is providing a constant stream of new digital playable content to our fans throughout the year."
This year's entry in the Call of Duty franchise, Modern Warfare 3, is out now, and millions are already playing.
Those of you wanting to know our verdict, should click straight onto our Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 review. If you're a little rusty on what's happened so far in the Modern Warfare franchise, check out our comprehensive story so far feature.

And you're stuck yet again on the pointless downsizing to 'improve' quality nonsense. I want the good quality at full size, not half size. It's a very stupid way to compare best quality. No idea why you keep banging on about it. Not to mention I was talking about cameras with RAW ability.
To get back to the topic, yes Blu Ray is dying. I don't see it ever getting to critical mass before it becomes unnecesary. Global recession means adoption rates will fall even more. I am the target audience, gadget addicted disposable income having geek and I have only recently joined the blu ray revolution and even then dipped the smallest of toes in the water. I would have preferred HD-DVD since I tend to hate Sony and their proprietary crap but that was not to be.
Is there any evidence to support this view? Blu-ray has been around for little more than 2 1/2 years. Initial take-up was slow because of competition from the HD-DVD format and consequent indecision on the part of some potential cutomers.After a Google search on the current state of the technology, I came across the following claims.(1) 1220 titles on Blu-ray are currently available in the US.(2) In the first week of November 2008, sales of Blu-ray recorders surpassed sales of DVD recorders in Japan.(3) In December 2008, Pioneer Corporation unveiled a 400 GB Blu-ray disc, which contains 16 data layers, 25 GB each, and will be compatible with current players after a firmware update. A planned launch is in the 2009-2010 time frame for ROM and 2010-2013 for rewritable discs. Ongoing development is under way to create a 1 TB Blu-ray disc as soon as 2013.Wikipedia covers the subject quite well at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blu-ray_Disc
What is full size? That's a new concept. I've heard of A4 and A3 and A2 etc., but what size is 'full size'?
Not downrezed. There is no set physical measurement as it depends on image dimensions and dpi. Now if I am comparing a 8mp camera against a 28MP camera I do not print both images at A5 to compare differences. I would compare them at A1, as that is when it matters. Plus unlike with film printing much smaller print sizes can actually result in a loss of quality. I had to argue with my idiot printers to print one side of my business cards at 600dpi as the downsampling of some of the images to 300dpi, markedly reduced quality [which would not be fixed by sharpening]. But they trotted out the dumb 'no need for more than 300dpi' mantra which is based on ignorant nonsense as it comes from the 'no less than 300dpi' guideline, which is a different suggestion altogether and was a guideline before digital resizing even existed.
I am an ardent fan of BD and I always buy my movies in BD, if available. Just finished watching 16 hours(! Never thought I'll become vegetative to this extent!) of the BBC series "The Tudors" on my 70" Sony. This is the way all TV should be. Superb cinematography, superb sound, good script even if historically inaccurate. But Sigh... Most of the people I would happily let borrow my discs still do not own any way of playing BDs. They all own (with mis-adjusted aspect ratios) HD displays, but the highest resolution they have ever watched at home are pirated download movies and DVDs. They are generally early adopters and all seem to have terabyte drives full of pirated movies. These pirated downloads are surprisingly good for not much more than a GB per hour (slightly better quality than the HD LLVJ but still very far from a BD movie). But I think there have been too many hurdles imposed on BD, primarily by Sony and other studio owners like Warner Bros. After brilliantly making the PS3 the early-adopter BD player of choice, they still insist on Region Coding, 20 to 30% premium for a BD version of a movie over a DVD, ridiculous price for blanks, still too high a price for burners, etc, etc. Yes, pity, but I think it may indeed be dying.
I think the question relates very much to Michael's Feb. 1 column, "Quality vs. Value - When is Enough Enough." I'm a lifelong audio-and videophile who gladly plunked down US$80 to $100 for the first CDs and pre-recorded Beta video tapes (I eschewed VHS), and was first in line for LaserDiscs. But not a dime for Blu-Ray. Why? Because in a market already saturated with DVD upres players the improvement in spec isn't worth the cost.
There's something else going on here, which is very puzzling. The difference between video from Blu-ray on my 50" plasma set and SD video from a DVD on my 50" plasma set is so obvious, from an appropriate viewing distance, that I can only assume that those who think the improvement is marginal are simply switching off their brains.
I'm a lifelong audio-and videophile who gladly plunked down US$80 to $100 for the first CDs
What it is, however, is not people switching off their brains.
That's a contradiction as the early CDs sounded awful - mainly due to the kit they were being played on. .
That's a contradiction as the early CDs sounded awful
Well, tell us what it is. No need to be smug. Switching off their brains is the only explanation I can think of. If you have a better one, please enlighten us.
Believe me, no smugness or disrespect is intended: if the only explanation you can think of to explain why Blu-Ray isn't being better accepted is the mass stupidity of people, I'm truly the least qualified person I can think of to persuade you otherwise.
In a world with an enormous SD DVD installed base, many of whom have been through at least one standards conversion that rendered their entire collection of media un-hot, not-new, and Dull Edge, there seems little likelihood of a mass embracing of Blu-Ray or any other new DVD spec -- until and unless the new spec hardware & media is the same price and availability as the existing popular spec; is transparently compatible with existing spec hardware & media; and is of such quality improvement as to create virtual ecstasy for the eyes and ears of John and Jane Q. Public.
I don't say that a DVD SD TV picture is as nice as the image on large HD screen. It isn't. All I am saying I don't think that the improvement matters enough to enough people.
For so many of us audiophiles there was no contradiction at all between the amount of our individual GDP's that we plunked down to purchase early consumer digital, and how it sounded (sucky, in fact). It was <drum roll> hot, new, and Cutting Edge. And that was key.
I'd be likely to describe you as an early adopter/ gadget freak instead.

Adam Roach wins 2013 Big Sur Marathon; Nuta Olaru first female
Adam Roach wins 2013 Big Sur Marathon; Nuta Olaru first female
BIG SUR, Calif. —
Highlights: Big Sur International Marathon 2013
Adam Roach, 29, of Pacific Grove, won the 2013 Big Sur International Marathon Sunday morning when he crossed the finish line at 2:27:46.
Josh Whitehead, 34, of Madison, Alabama, was leading the pack of elite runners as they approached the finish line. But in the final stretch, defending 2012 champion Roach surged ahead to win it.
Roach must have been training hard this past year because he completed the 2013 marathon five minutes faster than his 2012 race.
Nuta Olaru, 42, of Longmont, Colorado, was the top female marathon finisher and, like Roach, was also the 2012 defending champion. Olaru is a former Olympian and her winning race time Sunday was 2:50:02.

B-Mets' Muno's 7 RBIs just enough to beat Fisher Cats
July 04. 2013 10:33PM
Daniel Muno provided the Fourth of July fireworks at Northeast Delta Dental Stadium, but he needed a little help from teammate Cesar Puello to enjoy the moment after the game.
Muno drove in seven runs with a fifth inning grand slam and a three-run shot in the sixth frame to power Binghamton to a 7-6 Eastern League victory over the New Hampshire Fisher Cats before 5,472 fans.
The surging Mets, who were 19-5 in the month of June, improved their record to a league best 52-30. New Hampshire (40-45) is now 13-1/2 games behind the Mets in the Eastern Division.
The game ended in dramatic fashion. In the home ninth with New Hampshire trailing 7-5, Brian Van Kirk singled with one out and pinch-hitter Jon Talley doubled him to third. After Adam Loewen fanned for the second out, Andy Burns singled to right fielder Puello, scoring Van Kirk. But pinch-runner Kevin Ahrens, in for Talley, was gunned down by Puello at the plate representing the tying run. The tag was made by catcher Blake Forsythe.
New Hampshire rallied for four runs in the third inning. Ryan Schimpf and Van Kirk each walked before Amadeo Zazueta plated Schimpf with a single to center. A fielding error by first baseman Richard Lucas allowed Loewen to reach and load the bases. Burns followed with a two-run single and later with two outs, Clint Robinson singled home the fourth run.
But New Hampshire starter and losing pitcher Marcus Walden (5-9) couldn't protect the lead and couldn't solve Muno, a switch hitter. The product of Fresno State, who was selected by the New York Mets in the eighth round (252nd overall) of the 2011 Amateur Draft, helped Binghamton erase a 4-0 deficit with one swing.
Travis Taijeron, Blake Forsythe and Wilfredo Tovar opened the fifth frame with three straight singles before Muno cleared the bases on a 1-0 delivery with a grand slam to right field for his fifth homer of the season.
In the sixth after two outs, singles by Forsythe and Tovar set the table again for Muno who launched his sixth season homer to right center for a 7-4 lead. In six innings, Walden allowed 10 hits and seven runs and two walks. He fanned four.
New Hampshire closed the gap to 7-5 in the eighth inning when Burns struck out and reached on a passed ball. He later scored on a force out. Jim Fuller got the win and Jeff Walters survived a shaky ninth inning to register his league-leading 22nd save.
Both teams resume their five-game series tonight at 7 p.m.

Andy Schachat's On the Run: Snowshoeing provides an option in winterANDY SCHACHAT
January 05. 2013 8:25PM
Most runners in these parts prefer a mild winter like like last year's. On the other hand, there is a group of runners who applauded the snow that fell in the last week of December. That group knew that a lot of snow, the type that will be around for awhile, means it should be a good winter for snowshoe racing.
Snowshoe racing will never be as big as road racing, but its popularity has grown in New Hampshire over the past few years. Races that drew about 50 entrants a few years ago have grown to the 150- to 200-participant range.
The feature event of the New Hampshire snowshoe-racing schedule is the Granite State Snowshoe Series. The series begins Jan. 12 with the Beaver Brook race in Hollis and includes seven races, the last the Granite State championship at a site yet to be determined.
Or, more accurately put, the series hopes to include seven races. Last year's mild winter resulted in the cancellation of many GSSS races, limiting the series to only three events.
The irony did not escape anyone, races being canceled because the weather was too nice.
Snowshoe racing may seem like it's not for everyone. The awkwardness of running with snowshoes takes some getting used to. As with skiing, one of the first lessons new snowshoe racers learn is how to fall. But new participants to the sport are encouraged to stick with it.
On the Granite State Snow Shoe Series website (www.granitestatesnowshoeseries.org), Chris Dunn, the organizer of the series and local expert on snowshoe racing, has written "Snowshoe Racing 101." The article breaks down various aspects of the sport, including types of shoes, what clothes to wear and how to train. Over the past few years, Dunn has given talks to various New Hampshire running clubs to encourage runners to try snowshoe racing. His message is clear: The sport is for everyone.
Those runners who have responded to Dunn's encouragement have reported high marks for the sport. From elite runners to mid-packers, Granite Staters who have discussed their experience with me report that snowshoe racing is a lot of fun. They also say it is a great way to train during the winter.
Snowshoe racing helps build up different muscles from those strengthened by running on roads, and snowshoe racers claim the activity helps build stronger legs. It is also a great break from constant pounding on the pavement.
If following the example of fast runners is an indication of the benefits of snowshoe racing, then the Granite State snowshoe scene is a prime example. Some of New Hampshire's top runners are frequently seen at local snowshoe races. Last year's Granite State Snow Shoe series men's champion was Jim Johnson of Madison. Over the past five years, Johnson probably has more wins and top-five finishes at New Hampshire road races than any other runner. Longtime New England standout Dave Dunham, a former New Hampshire resident now living in Bradford, Mass., also has frequented the New Hampshire snowshoe racing scene. North Conway's Kevin Tilton, possibly the best runner in the White Mountains region, also has become a top snowshoe racer. On the women's side, Leslie Beckwith of North Conway, winner of last October's White Mountain Milers Half Marathon, is the defending GSSS champion.
No local runner who has taken to the snow has done so with greater success than Concord's Amber Ferreira. Ferreira has won numerous road races and has become a world-class triathlete, but snowshoe racing may be her best sport. In 2012, Ferreira won the national snowshoe championship and was second in the world championships.
But, again, snowshoe racing is not just for the swiftest. A glance at the results of any snowshoe race will reveal names familiar to the New Hampshire road race scene. Whether at the front, middle, or back of the pack, many runners who have found the sport very much to their liking.
And this year, there may actually be ample opportunity to enjoy it.
- - - - - -
RUNNING SHORTS: The 2013 New Hampshire road race schedule got off to a fine start. More than 1,400 finished the Millennium Mile, with Makopa Rugabirwa of Concord and Joanna Murphy of Cambridge, Mass., winning. In Portsmouth, there were 395 finishers at the Great Bay Resolution 5K. Winners were Portsmouth's Ryan Proulx and Kate Hyland. The town of Temple saw 156 participants at the Peanut Butter Chip Chase 5K. Many New Hampshire runners crossed the border and ran the 1st Run 5K or 10K race in Lowell, Mass. That's because the race kicked of the 2013 Will Run For Beer Series, a circuit of seven races, five in New Hampshire. Bedford's Colin Cook was the Granite State's best, finishing third in the 5K.

Dunbarton seeking copies of town's first newspaper, 'The Snow Flake'
By Ruth Mariano
There are life-sized photocopies of the Snow Flake from 1881 and 1882, collected by Donna Dunn. (Ruth Mariano Photo)
DUNBARTON - "NOTICE is hereby given that I have this day given my daughter, Carrie Eva Eastman, her time to act and trade for herself. I shall therefore claim none of her earnings , nor pay any debts of her contracting after this date," announced George A. Eastman.
Eastman's pronouncement occurred long ago, in an Oct. 4, 1882, edition of the Snow Flake, the first-known public newspaper published in Dunbarton.
According to Donna Dunn, member of the Dunbarton Historical Awareness Committee, the Snow Flake was then published out of the building that is now the Maple Lodge, which is still in the center of town. The Historical Awareness Committee has gathered old Snow Flake newspapers going back to earliest paper printed on Dec. 25, 1877.
Dunn said the Historical Awareness Committee has been working for the better part of two years, pooling together resources with the town clerk's collection, the Dunbarton Historical Society and some private collections, but they are looking to the general public to find more of these historical newspapers.
For Dunn, part of the intrigue is looking at the evolution of the whole news media from this era forward, especially for a small community, she said. While she finds the economic information to be interesting, she is mostly amazed by the real-time information. She'll read in a history book, for example, about T. Sylvester Wilson, a cobbler from Dunbarton, and then she'll see him listed in the paper as going out for a visit on a particular week.
The Snow Flake was perhaps a cross between today's Neighborhood News papers – reporting on local events – to a social-media-of-the-day, sharing of the goings-on about town, such as an update that "W. Foster Clark has been very ill from the effects of the mumps," to a report that "John Parkinson has his new barn nearly completed." When people came into town to visit, or if they left for an out-of-town journey, the Snow Flake was the place to find out the details.
The Snow Flake also contained poetry, short stories and news of the day. Local merchants advertised their products for wool suits, boots, yarn and many pharmaceutical options.
After the Snow Flake's period of publication, The Analecta published a self-professed "village journal," continuing the tradition of reporting on the daily events in its readership towns of Concord, Dunbarton, Bedford, Contoocook and others. In Dunbarton, for example, in 1886 "Dr. Leach has sold one of his horses to a party in Concord," while a "splendid supper with lemonade, social games, and dancing," was celebrated for Mr. and Mrs. Matthew S. Mills' 25th wedding anniversary on a stormy evening in July.
Dunn said the Historical Awareness Committee has collected issues of The Analecta going back to March 20, 1884.
Beyond then, the Shopper News was published by Mulberry Press in Goffstown, with its first paper (Volume 1, No. 1) published in 1955, with articles about "A Country Women's Journal" by Farmer Brown's Wife, "Historical Notes of Dunbarton" and general news and classifieds for the town. In keeping with the tradition of prior papers, general tidbits about town were announced in their second volume, including the riveting news of "Dora's sister," who was walking her "beautiful. big black rabbit" on New Year's Eve," a pet "who gets his airing every night."
While the Historical Awareness Committee has pooled together an impressive number of these historical gems, they have many gaps in time to be filled. They are hoping the public can find more that may be stashed away in attics or in relatives' belongings.
According to various internet resources, including
HomsteadingToday.com, old newspapers are often stuffed into walls as wind-stop and insulation. Blair Hopper, who has done finish carpentry in old buildings from Weare to an old carriage house in Shrewsbury, Mass., to historical buildings at Beacon Hill in Boston, said builders have been putting newspapers into walls as a matter of tradition – sort of like their own time capsules.
"They've been doing it for over 100 years," said Hopper. "I've ripped out inside walls and found newspapers from the early 1900s."
Hopper continues the tradition, he said, "from guys like me that want to do something for the next guy."
Dunn said many of their papers have come from construction or renovation work being done on historic homes. They have "many examples of people opening up walls and floors with these newspapers," she said. The Dunbarton Cobbler Shop, for example, had many in between the floors.
"That's how we were able to date it," said Dunn.
Dunn urges residents who find any of these papers to you to bring them to the Dunbarton town clerk's office. Linda Landry is the person who accepts the documents as they come in and takes responsibility for them. After the papers have been sleeved and copied, they will be returned to their owners.
The papers will then be available for others to research and view.
Dunn said they are being actively collected in advance of Dunbarton's 250th anniversary in 2015, and they are also being used by the Dunbarton Elementary School to add local history into the kindergarten to sixth-grade curriculum. Younger students in Dunbarton may learn, for example, of Molly Stark's life in Dunbarton and see a letter sent to her by her husband while he was away during the Revolutionary War. Older children may be asked to contrast Martin Luther King Jr.'s belief in nonviolence to Gen. John Stark's famous "Live Free or Die" pronouncement in 1809.
As these papers are collected, people like Donna Dunn will be there to gather and preserve them for generations to come.

Maternity and Beauty go Hand-in-Hand with Mommy Makeovers from We Know Beauty
We Know Beauty's panel of expert plastic surgeons consistently perform Mommy Makeovers with the most beautiful results
Jan 04, 2013, 01:09 EST
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- A new mother's time is filled with tending to her little ones and taking care of small and large matters that impact the whole family. This level of commitment to her flock is unwavering as the needs of her children change over time. The first few years of motherhood require a great deal of physical and emotional stamina. Many mothers are disappointed to see that even after all of the daily running around, the excess belly fat that develops during pregnancy will not recede. Even if the lady of the house sticks to a strict diet and works out consistently, she may find that the sagging skin around her mid-section will not shrink.
We Know Beauty, the Los Angeles network of leading, board certified plastic surgeons, offers Mommy Makeovers to women struggling with these issues. The six talented and thoroughly experienced We Know Beauty surgeons deliver impeccable plastic surgeries, including rhinoplasty, breast augmentation, blepharoplasty, abdominoplasty (tummy tuck), and liposuction. Mommy Makeover is a combination procedure which may incorporate tummy tuck, breast lift, breast augmentation, and/or liposuction. Each component of an individualized Mommy Makeover is recommended to sculpt the patient's curves, with each surgeon applying his expertise. For instance, Dr. Anous of We Know Beauty specializes in tummy tuck. With We Know Beauty, the post-surgery body often surpasses the woman's pre-pregnancy form, with the patient proclaiming she has never looked better. In this way, Mommy Makeovers by We Know Beauty consistently exceed expectations.
During the initial consultation, the We Know Beauty professional assesses the patient's problem areas to recommend the best Mommy Makeover. Like any cosmetic surgery, the Mommy Makeover is a serious procedure with the mother needing the proper provisions for recovery. The recovery time period ranges, but most surgeons recommend that patients refrain from heavy-duty activity for five to six weeks. The We Know Beauty expert supervising and performing the Mommy Makeover will provide details for tummy tuck and/or liposuction recovery prior to and following the surgical procedures, allowing the client to make necessary arrangements for recuperation. This may entail a relative or close friend staying with the patient to help with kids and house cleaning, especially during the first week or two of recovery.
The beautiful results of We Know Beauty's Mommy Makeovers are reflected in the pictures and testimonials presented on the group's official website. A recent patient speaks of the breast augmentation she received from Dr. Mandris of We Know Beauty. "I came to Dr. Mandris looking to fix what I considered breast feeding damaged breasts," the mother patient relates. "…He did an amazing job… Dr. Mandris and his staff took excellent care of me and made me feel very comfortable…now my breasts look beautiful and perfect." This is just one of the many patients that attest to the talent of the We Know Beauty surgeons.
A new year is a time for change, and the timing might be right for receiving a Mommy Makeover. We Know Beauty provides services throughout the Southern California area, including Beverly Hills, Pasadena, the San Fernando Valley, Los Angeles County, Ventura County, San Bernardino County, and the Inland Empire. The prospective client can conveniently schedule a complimentary consultation for Mommy Makeover or one of We Know Beauty's other surgical procedures.

The Budget Agreement: No Occasion for Back-Patting
More than six months into the current fiscal year, lawmakers struck an 11th-hour deal and are congratulating themselves for agreeing to a budget that includes more than $38 billion in spending cuts, touted as the largest annual cut in history.
While it is important that Congress averted a government shutdown that would have closed national parks and museums, shut down construction projects, and left phones ringing unanswered at social security, these spending cuts are no occasion for back-patting.
Last week's fight was over a small slice of the budget. This approach fosters the erroneous perception that reducing the deficit and growing jobs can only be achieved by slashing programs that build roads, pay police officers and teachers, ensure the medicine we take is safe and effective, train unemployed workers for new jobs, and provide education assistance for low-income people.
Indeed, after passing the budget, elected officials on both sides of the aisle seemed unified in the belief that spending on programs that benefit Main Street Americans are a big part of the problem.
Unfortunately, the 2011 budget battle is merely a preview of what may come. Last week, the House released its budget proposal for fiscal year 2012. During a press conference, Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan called it a "choice for America's future."
We do have a choice—a choice between increasing opportunities for all or providing for special interests and the wealthy at the expense of low- and moderate-income people. The House budget proposal makes the wrong choice. It not only makes permanent Bush-era tax cuts for the wealthy, it goes one step further by slashing the already historically low tax rate for those at the top.
War Against the Middle Class
David Korten: Why is the middle class shrinking?
While ensuring the wealthy pay less in taxes, the House budget plan assaults programs that promote opportunity and help more Americans move into the middle class. It cuts workforce development programs at a time when, in spite of recent declines, unemployment is still high and the least skilled workers struggle to find employment or access education and training to become more marketable. It raises the real cost of tuition and college expenses for low-income students by decreasing Pell grant aid. It undoes health care reform. And it goes after programs that help low-income people access health care and put food on the table by block granting Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.
This assault on opportunity-promoting and poverty-alleviating programs comes at a time when the gap between rich and poor is widening. According to Census data, the top-earning 20 percent of households received nearly half (49.4 percent) of all household income in 2009, the latest year for which figures are available. The bottom 20 percent, or those living in poverty and earning less than $20,000 per year, received 3.4 percent. The collective amount has increased for the top 20 percent but decreased for the bottom 20 percent.
Given this reality, it is troubling that our elected officials are comfortable taking a hatchet to domestic programs. Two-thirds of the cuts in the proposed House budget come from programs that target low- and moderate-income people, according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.
Huge deficits are unsustainable and no good for the nation's long-term economic prosperity. But it is disingenuous to suggest that our budget can be balanced by focusing on domestic, non-defense discretionary programs and leaving tax increases and other revenue raisers off the table.
Late last year, the bipartisan National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform released a plan for deficit reduction that called for shared sacrifice and protection of the most vulnerable members of society. Though the plan wasn't perfect, it did look at both spending and revenue.
President Obama and the Democratic caucus are set to release alternative budget proposals this week. There have been hints that their proposals will take a broader look at revenue and spending, including calling for ending tax breaks for the wealthy and putting a broader swath of government programs on the table for review.
This is a more realistic approach, and at the very least it should be the baseline for national discourse about restoring balance to the nation's budget.
- : Workers across the country are demanding to know why corporations and the wealthy get bailouts and tax breaks while teachers and steel workers bear the burdens of budget crises.
- How the movement for workers' rights can harness the energy of the present moment.
- GE's not paying taxes ... and public employees are the ones we're calling "greedy, parasitic, and selfish?"

MARSHALL COUNTY, OK -- It has been about four years since the original Lake Texoma State Park was sold to Pointe Vista Development. After dozens of questions from park goers about why construction has not started yet we get some answers.
Pointe Vista says they have contracted with a company to remove the asbestos from the old cabins and that work has already begun, but they say it is just one of the first steps toward creating the new resort.
Steps are underway to redevelop the land around Lake Texoma, but Oklahoma State Representative Tommy Hardin says that is not enough.
"To me again that's not construction that's just tearing things down to get ready and they need to, I'd like to see them move a lot faster on getting things completed," Representative Hardin said.
Terri Watkins , the Communications Director for The Commissioners of the Land Office says Pointe Vista Development is still in compliance with their contract which states that the project must be substantially completed by 2014. So far, the company has met the guidelines laid out in that contract.
"We know how important this is to the community. We know how important this is to the state of Oklahoma, but it's a process and we're going through that process and in September we'll have more information," Watkins said.
Pointe Vista Manager, Ryan Chapman, says so far the company has purchased about 750 acres and they are in the beginning stages of demolishing the old cabins. The old lodge has already been torn down. According to the Oklahoma Tourism and Recreation Department the company wants to buy an additional 1,000 acres owned by the Army Corps of Engineers.
Lake Texoma Manager, Joe Custer, says Pointe Vista cannot build on that land until it is transferred to them and that cannot happen until an Environmental Impact Study is complete.
"It looks at recreation. It looks at density of use. It looks at the habitat, environmental affects of what's being proposed. So very very detailed. Very in depth. Very time consuming," Custer said.
Custer says the state has asked them to hold off on doing the E.I.S, but does not know why. State Representative Hardin says he hopes the new tourist attraction will be built by its deadline.
"If it's not completed in a time line then it goes into the court system as far in the contracts and you know I don't know what's going to go on there. It may take another two years to get all that settled before you can actually do anything else," Representative Hardin said.
For a list of frequently asked questions and a more detailed explanation of the project visit the Oklahoma Tourism and Recreation Department's website at http://www.oklatourism.gov/TexomaFAQ.html.

Club Penguin: Elite Penguin Force: Herbert's Revenge Cheats :
Secret - Mission 10 scissors trick
On mission ten if you try to cut that belt then your scissors will break. So you'll have to use the scissors as much as you can before you have to break them. First you have to cut the thing off the mop in the pizza place and also grab the pizza pan. While you're getting the discuises you have to go to the stage and get that beard in front of the costume trunk. Then you have to paint that fake beard black. Give the discuises to Dot and you will start moving around penguins to balence the island. Now after you answer G's phone call you have to go to the pool inside of that cover thingy behind Dot. Get the life preserver. Go through the door and get that infloatable whale. Then you ahve to go the Ski Village and go to the Ski lodge. Go upstairs and cut the ropes with your scissors. Grab the infloatable octopus. At the Ski Village you will see a ducky thing. Grab that. Then go to the gift shop and get those blue shoe things and the life vest. Go upstairs and get the tape. Now go to the iceberg and get the super helium. You will play the mini game and the island will be balenced again. Now go to the Ski Village. Talk to Herbert and Jet Pack Guy until you get to the part when Herbert agrees to help you. Finally the moment of truth. Try to cut the belt with your scissors. After your scissors break Klutzy will cut the belt. Use the purple puffle to blow a bubble around Klutzy. I normally get stuck after I fix the baloon with tape and super helium.
