EMF Search provides the fundamental infrastructure and components for search queries on EMF based models. A particular focus is made on integration with the Eclipse Core Search API for end user tight integration.
EMF Search is an Ecore meta-model based extensible search engine which purpose is to provide users query launching services against Ecore based models.
Meta-model based search is basically being able to take advantage of a meta-model structure to run generic search queries onto it. This means that a meta-model structure, defining a minimal modeling "organizaton", contains information enough to get operations applied to it, and by extension having same operations applied to any inheriting model compliant with this meta-model structure. Ecore based search is in fact a particular case of meta-model based treatment, a typical approach also known as Model Driven Architecture.
In other words, this allows to develop meta-model based generic algorithms, valid across any user defined model extending elements & structure of a given meta-model. Such method are usually employed as part of a code generation development process also known as Model Driven Development, allowing developers to code things once, setting up templates based code generation getting its data from the particular valuation of an instance of a given meta-model (eg: An actual user defined model or domain model populated with pertinent data).
For model search explanatory purposes, we need to introduce some terminology. First at all, lets keep in mind a model search query always need to deal with entities such as a scope of model resource(s)/element(s) onto which a search query will apply, a set of participant meta-elements which the search query will consider, and finally a search query, textual, scriptical,programatic which an associated model search engine will evaluate against a scope and participants. This evaluation obviously having the role to produce Model Search Results.
[EMF Model Search Query Entites Overview]
This brief explanation just made main concepts appearing : Model Search Scope, Model Search Participants, Model Search Query, Model Search Engine, Model Search Results.
* Model Search Engine: EMF Search has extension point allowing user to contribute custom model search engines (see org.eclipse.emf.search.modelSearchEngine extension point definition). A model search engine has responsability, given a model resource scope, to evaluate a model search query applying only on a set of selected meta-elements (called meta-elements participants).
* Model Search Query EMF Search offers extensible model search queries mechanism. Users can contribute model search queries potentially combined with any numbers of diferent elements particpants. (eg. given the fact different user defined elements extends Ecore meta-elements). As a result, users can register to org.eclipse.emf.search.modelSearchID extension their own model search queries (plus the way to handle it from UI point of view) and the, associating it to an existing model search engine.
* Model Search Particiants EMF Search offers extensible model search participants elements mechanism. Users can contribute model search participants potentially combined with any numbers of diferent model search queries. As a result, users can register to org.eclipse.emf.search.modelSearchParticipantTab extension their own model search participant elements (plus the way to handle it from UI point of view) and, associating it to an existing model search engine.
* Model Search Scope Model Search Scope stands for a set of ecore resources to be considerer by the search query. We can make a comparison with platform search concepts from the scope point of view. As in the text search or java search, user can search into the whole workspace or reduce its scope to selected resources, selected projects or even given working set.
* Model Search Result Query evaluation produces matches, being collected in a result object or each resource evaluated. Matches can be considered as reult entries of top level reult object. These matches are considered as Model Search Result and will populate the Eclipse Search View.
Eclipse Search Integration
Eclipse Search Ecore Integration
Ecore Search Page have two main query kinds : Textual & OCL
- Textual queries
- normal (?, * available)
- case sensitive
- regex (Java regular expression based)
Textual queries are very similar to JDT, PDE or File ones. Query evaluation is done against meta elemnt names as users can see in Ecore editors. Thanks to the fact Most Ecore elements are inheriting from ENamedElement, exposing a usefull getName:String method, it is possible evaluate regex pattern against them.
- OCL queries
OCL queries for Ecore are simple OCL invariants evaluations, these queries are ran against a particular meta element. OCL contextual edition is allowed according to a meta element user selection. Thus, users wanting to evaluate invariant expression against an EClass would have to set the OCL Expression wigdet context set to 'EClass' before being able to edit the invariant body.
As a result an OCL query expression body can take advantage of syntax coloring & contextual completion proposal.
Ecore Textual Search
Ecore Textual Search Page is composed of two parts : query & participants.
- Query : Textual expression edit area with normal, case sentitive & regex support
- Participants : All Ecore meta elements possibly particpating to Ecore Textual query
The figure below depict a user textual query against selected participant meta elements.
Here, the user want find all EClass elements with name matching "Movie*" regex.
Note that the search scope can be chosen between Workspace, Selected, Resource, Working Set.
Note also that query participants can be filtered in order to ease elements selection user experience.
Ecore Results page collects and display matches for Ecore queries. An header label summarize the query configuration in terms of expression, participants and scope.
Matches are display in black, hierarchical intermediary results are colored in gray and get number of match occurences their sub tree owns.
Ecore OCL Search
OCL queries for Ecore are simple OCL invariants evaluations, these queries are ran against a particular meta element. OCL contextual edition is allowed according to a meta element user selection.
Thus, users wanting to evaluate invariant expression against an EClass would have to set the OCL Expression wigdet context set to 'EClass' before being able to edit the invariant body.
As a result an OCL query expression body can take advantage of syntax coloring & contextual completion proposal.
Below we can see the completion proposal list obtained by hitting "Ctrl+Space" from the OCL Expression widget.
Results are collected and displayed accordingly to the resource & OCL invariant they have been evaluated against.
EMF Search Replace
Replace infrastructure is offered. It allows users to replace a match occurence by a given text.
Normal & Case Sensitive queries replace the whole matched occurence. Regex queries replace only the region matched with given text.
It is planned to improve replace infrastructure to offer full regex replace support.
Once, user gave a new value to replace occurences with, a dialog pops up proposing to apply or not changes.
UML2 Search Integration
UML2 Search is a kind of enhanced sample example demonstrating extensibilty of EMF Search framework. It has same features has Ecore ones by extesnion and add some UML specific ones.
Textual queries are against NamedElement objects. OCL Queries are ran against any ModelElement.
Results are collected in a dedicated result page, offering custom actions and navigation.
GenModel Search Integration
GenModel is basically an Ecore model for Ecore generation. Thus, it was a natural candidate for an EMF Search integration.
GenModel elements are pretty similar to those defined in Ecore meta model. Search page has a simple textual expression area. GenModel extension of the EMF Search framework is very similar to the UML2 one. They are all inheriting from the Ecore one.
Results are displayed in a very similar form than Ecore or UML2 ones.
Results allow to perform code generation actions as in the EMF genmodel legacy editor.
GenModel owns information enough to generate code *AND* navigate to source.
GenModel Textual Result Navigation To Java Code Action
User can come back to legacy Ecore editor at any time.
Custom Textual Search Code Generation
Users wanting to get a boostrap implementation for Search Core & UI can take advantage of code generation wizard.
This wizard works only for textual search queries (No OCL support). Basically speaking generating textual EMF search implementations for arbitrarty ecore models is quite complex. First you need to query .genmodel to get all available String/EString Ecore EStructural features. User must select a few or all of these features from which Core & UI implementations will be generated.
Access to the wizard is available from a popup menu on any .genmodel file. menu is "EMF Search > Generate Textual Search Engine ..."
Wizard allows user to discriminate which textual feature he wants its search to consider.

Quick Start Guide
This quick start guide will explain :
* Steps to generate textual search infrastructure for arbitrary Ecore model (Here MoviesDb) * Generated Code and relations to EMF Search framework architecture * Explain Extensibility in context of this example * Hints for code customizations
Movies DB Example
Developer Guide
Developers have several levels/contexts/persitences configurations for which they want to use EMF Search.
One aspect is which modeling level they want their extension to address :
- meta modeling level
- Ecore meta-modeling (M3)
- UML2 meta-modeling or custom meta-models (M2)
- Model instance (M1)
Another aspect is where and how their meta models are stored :
- meta model perstistence layer type
- Eclipse Resources
- Local File System
- WWW distant resources (Close to be supported)
- DB persitence (Support planned)
Depending on these particular situations, EMF Search typical usages exist.
Search Scope & Visitors
EMF Search defines a Scope API contract with IModelSearchScope :
public interface IModelSearchScope<P, O> {List
getParticipants(); void addParticipant(P resource); void addParticipants(P[] resources); void removeParticipant(P resource); void removeParticipants(P[] resources); List<P> findPartcipant(Class<O> clazz); String getLabel(); }
- Eclipse Workspace resource
- Local File System
- Distant locations (Http URIs)
- EE repositories

How To Give A Body Rub Massage
Be prepared for a hot night of sex when you learn how to give a body rub massage. This type of massage is different than a standard massage in that the masseuse uses their entire body to give the massage instead of just their hands. This is a sexy alternative to a typical 'hands on' massage that will help spark up your love life in just one night! Here you'll learn the secrets of how to give a body rub massage.
Things needed to give a body rub massage:
- Massage oil (slightly warmed)
- Flat surface (bed or table)
- Sheet or towel
- Candles
How to give a body rub massage:
- Prepare the surface. A body rub massage requires a lot of massage oil so before you begin, lay down a sheet or towel on the surface that you will be giving the massage on. This will make it easy to clean the area up once the massage is over.
- Set the scene. Before you begin this sensual massage, you'll want to set a romantic scene by dimming the lights and placing candles around the area. This will help her to relax during the body rub massage. It will also put her in the mood for a romantic evening.
- Undress. Both participants will need to undress for a body rub massage. During this type of massage, the body of the masseuse is rubbed all over his partner, so you won't want to have any undergarments in the way. Get completely undressed and her lay flat on her stomach to prepare for the body rub massage.
- Begin the massage. Now you're ready to begin the body rub massage. To start, apply warm (not hot) massage oil liberally all over her back, shoulders and buttocks. Be sure to rub your hands together before touching any area of the body. Begin by rubbing the back and shoulders with your hands only, massaging with a comfortable amount of pressure.
- Take it up a notch. Once you have relaxed her (approximately 10 to 15 minutes) straddle your body across her buttocks, and rub against her lower body with your pelvic region as you continue to massage the shoulders, neck and arms. Use slow movements as you rub, and lower you face and kiss your partner as you gyrate and massage her body. Things will heat up quickly and you may be tempted to penetrate her, but don't! The point of a body rub massage is to tempt your partner with your body and make all her senses heightened. This will intensify the sex when it does finally occur.
- Flip her over. To finish the massage, flip her over and repeat the process on the front of her body. Since you will be eye to eye for this portion of the massage, most couples become overwhelmed with their passion for one another and don't make it far in the massage before they break down and have sex. Try to hold out as long as possible, as the longer you wait, the more animalistic you'll become for one another.

Access and Fairness in the Courts
A fair decision under the law is the cornerstone of the Utah courts. Fairness is just a word if the people cannot access their courts. The Judicial Council remains committed to achieving both access and fairness, and measuring progress towards those goals through the opinions of the people who use the courts.
An access and fairness survey was administered to the court users during the summer of 2006 and summer of 2007. Responses were collected for one day at each courthouse in the state. Every person at the courthouse that day was eligible, except people visiting an agency other than the court. The survey was administered as people left the courthouse. If a justice court is co-located in the courthouse, justice court responses are included, but the survey was not administered at justice court facilities. Access and fairness will be evaluated annually.
This survey was developed under grant number SJI-06-N-065 from the State Justice Institute. The points of view expressed are those of the author and do not necessarily represent the official position or policies of the State Justice Institute.

New York: Despite some promising early evidence, a new clinical trial suggests that flaxseed may not ease menopausal hot flashes after all.
In a study of 188 women, researchers found those who were randomly assigned to eat a daily flaxseed bar saw no more improvement in their hot flashes than women given flax-free "placebo" bars.
Over six weeks, more than one-third of women in each group had a 50 percent reduction in their hot flash "score" -- which measures the frequency and severity of a woman`s symptoms. The similar results in both groups suggest a placebo effect or some other explanation for the changes some women reported, researchers said.
"What women should take from this study is that there is little compelling information to try flaxseed if the objective is to reduce hot flashes," senior researcher Debra L. Barton told Reuters Health in an email.
In an earlier pilot study, Barton and her colleagues at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, had found that women who consumed flaxseed did see their hot flashes wane, on average.
But that study had no comparison group of women taking a placebo, Barton pointed out.
Flaxseed is high in compounds called lignans, a type of phytoestrogen. These are plant chemicals structurally similar to estrogen and may have weak estrogen-like (and anti-estrogen) activity in the body.
The most effective treatment for hot flashes is hormone replacement therapy. But since hormones have been linked to increased risks of heart disease, blood clots and breast cancer, many women want alternative hot-flash remedies.
Some antidepressants have been found to cool hot flashes by as much as 80 percent. But "natural" products, Barton noted, have generally failed to stand up to the test of clinical trials. Those products include black cohosh, soy and now flaxseed.
The current study, reported in the journal Menopause, included women with bothersome hot flashes -- occurring at least an average of four times a day.
Half of the women had a history of breast cancer -- which would generally make it inadvisable to use hormones to treat hot flashes.
Barton`s team randomly assigned the women to eat either a flaxseed bar or a placebo bar everyday for six weeks. The flaxseed bar contained fiber, protein and 410 milligrams of lignans; the placebo bar provided protein and fiber, but no lignans.
By the end of the study, there was no difference between the two groups in hot-flash symptoms -- which the women recorded in a daily diary.
In both groups, 36 percent of women had a 50 percent drop in their hot-flash scores. And when asked to rate their hot flashes, one-third of women in each group said they thought their symptoms were moderately to "very much" improved.
There are several potential reasons for the findings, Barton said.
In general, she explained, studies into hot flashes have found a significant placebo effect -- where women feel better because they expect to. Overall, 20 percent to 30 percent of placebo users improve, Barton noted -- though some studies have found even higher rates.
On top of that, hot flashes naturally cool off over time for some women. And, Barton said, they can be "extremely variable" since environmental triggers often set them off -- like hot weather or stress.
"This is why it`s important to perform randomized, placebo-controlled trials to understand the potential risks and benefits of interventions," Barton said.
Flaxseed may be helpful for other health issues, like constipation, Barton noted. But as a hot-flash remedy, the evidence is lacking, she said.
As for side effects, the researchers found that women in both groups commonly reported abdominal bloating and gas -- probably because of the fiber in both types of bar.

After a DU on 2011-08-03 02:00GMT, which seemed to go without issue, I now find that my 64-bit studio workstation is now unable to make sound
because the file /usr/bin/hdspmixer has been removed due to not working with new kernels (although the file is still mentioned in my non-updated locate database).
Google shows me some hints:
In May, a temporary fix for Ubuntu users was to use the Sid package, but this no longer works even for Sid
http://www.linuxmusicians.com/viewtopic ... amp;t=7098
"you need alsa-tools 126.96.36.199 (yes .2) for correct operation, unfortunately, this version isn't released, yet."
Currently sid only has alsa-tools (126.96.36.199-1)
Does anyone have any suggestions of how to get hdspmixer back again, even an old version on an old kernel? I tried copying the file from my other 32-bit system, but that failed of course!
I'm not quite sure how to use git and make my own package. But I do still have alsa-tools-gui versions 1.0.23-3+b1, 1.0.23-4 and 1.0.23-5 packages in /var/cache/apt/archives
This is a major issue for me, as without hdspmixer my music studio is without sound, and my new sweetheart is coming round to stay at the weekend and I wanna serenade her...

[Devs please ignore this post, as clearly nobody here uses RME Hammerfall DSP soundcards, which are a niche product for multi-channel recording. Since this is hardly an aptosid problem, more an issue with Sid/upstream, I'm just replying here to point any Googlers straight to a temporary solution pending an upstream release, to save them hours of wading through links...]
Well, after a sadly silent month (!) in the studio
and much head-scratching, I have finally got sound working again
I excitedly thought this week's update in Sid of alsa-tools-gui to the required version 22.214.171.124-2 might fix the issue of hdspmixer not working, but alas no. Although now the hdspmixer binary is back in /usr/bin where it should be, the command fails, despite having already invoked hdsploader at bootup:
malc@audentity:~$ ls -al /usr/bin/hdsp*

hi spock!
i also use hdsp hardware on aptosid! (a Multiface)
recently i've been doing some testing...
for me, alsa-tools-gui 1.0.25-2 is fine with kernel 3.1-6.slh.1, but fails with kernel 3.2.0-3-rt and kernel 3.5-2.slh.3 -- specifically, on the bad kernels, hdspmixer fails with a "HwDep ioctl failed. Metering stopped" error. the same version of hdspmixer is (so far!) completely solid with the 3.1.6 slh kernel.
i'm going to test with horo's most recent kernel as well -- that's 3.0.9.
please let me know if you have any interesting results with recent alsa-tools-gui or kernels, which might shed any light on any of this!

Hi plutek, if you're still awake
After sid unfroze and all upgrades passed without issue, I finally found the balls to remove the hold I'd had on alsa-tools-gui, and tonight took the plunge and installed version 1.0.27-2 replacing my olde (but working) version 1.0.23-3. Great! It works, along with a shiny new GUI for HDSPmixer, along with many other changes:
http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index. ... DSP_Loader
I'm seeing one tiny (new) issue in HDSPmixer: there is no signal moving in the level meter for my headphone output's right channel (#26), which is labelled "AN R". It just looks like silence without drawing any graphics in the channel, although sound passes OK and the fader works as it should raising and lowering volume. The level above it reports "minus infinity dB", which is obviously what it's drawing as a graphic (i.e., silence), but I am certainly hearing sound.
The left channel is fine, and the level meters in Ardour are of course both fine too. This happens using a variety of sound sources, both via JACK and without. Not a dealbreaker, but curious. There are no Debian bugs mentioning this, just another unrelated issue I'm not seeing.
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgrepor ... -tools-gui
Is anyone else seeing this? Worth filing a report for?
P.S. Congratulations for the new aptosid and Debian

New B1G Jersey apparently for Basketball
According to Brent Yarina (@BTNBrentYarina) "#Michigan MAY debut 4th uni in #B1G play"
EDIT: as pointed out in the thread, jersey is probably basketball related. I withdraw my "clowniforms" for the time being. These looked good, yes?
And we did wear throwbacks to these in 2009
If I had to guess, it'd be a Fab 5 throwback for the Fab 5 (minus CWebb?) Love fest that is happening once the 10 year ban ends.

DJI Zenmuse XTR Advanced Radiometry 640 FAST version
The Zenmuse XT Advanced Radiometry camera provides twice the temperature measurement accuracy of the standard Zenmuse XT along with new analysis and recording functions. Simply tap any point in an on-screen image to view the temperature of that point or select an area to measure the average, highest and lowest temperatures as well as their location.
The camera can also be calibrated to further increase temperature measurement precision by setting external parameters including background temperature, scene emissivity and more. If photos are captured in the TIFF format, the temperature of each pixel can be recorded for further processing and analysis. A temperature alert threshold can be set, automatically activating when that temperature is detected. This capability could simplify and accelerate search and rescue and inspection activities.
Thermal imaging from the air has never been as easy as it is with the DJI Zenmuse XT. By combining DJI's unrivaled expertise in gimbal technology and image transmission with the industry leading thermal imaging technology of FLIR, the Zenmuse XT is the ultimate solution for rapid and reliable aerial thermal imaging. Capture faster, with pinpoint precision, over large areas, then save them for analysis and reporting
The camera on the DJI Zenmuse XT is developed by FLIR. It provides high-sensitivity (50mK) infrared scanning at 640/30 fps or 336/60 fps depending on the camera model. This sensitivity provides accurate temperature measurements ideal for analytics and telemetry. Both cameras are available with four lens options to meet different business needs. Stabilized and controlled by a custom DJI gimbal, it provides smooth, clear imagery and 360 degrees of seamless rotational movement.
See the unseen. FLIR cameras reveal details invisible to the naked eye by making subtle differences in temperature visible. This new view on the world can reveal when equipment or buildings are damaged, the location of lost people and much more.
Infra-red imagery requires optimization to ensure maximum definition for capturing information. The Zenmuse XT features a suite of image enhancements designed by FLIR including Digital Detail Enhancement™ (DDE); Smart Scene Optimization™ (SSO), which enhances extremes in bi-modal scenes; Active Contrast Enhancement™ (ACE) that adjusts scene contrast relative to its temperature difference; and Information Based HEQ™ (IBHEQ) which compresses complex image data to create the best quality image.
The Zenmuse XT can be controlled completely through the DJI GO app, providing a real-time, low latency view of what the camera sees, and instant access to core camera functions including:
When used with either the Inspire 1 or the Matrice 100, the Zenmuse XT can be put into the air in seconds. It is seamlessly integrated, giving it complete access to key features including the powerful Lightbridge video transmission system (providing up to 3.1 miles (5KM*) of HD range), automated Point of Interest, Course and Home Lock, Follow Me, and the DJI SDK.
When combined with the Inspire 1, the Zenmuse XT works with incredible speed, efficiency and convenience. If used with the Matrice 100, the Zenmuse XT can stay in-flight for up to 35 minutes*, ideal for large scale inspections and especially useful in search and rescue scenarios.

San Juan/Old San Juan
Old San Juan (Viejo San Juan) is the historic core of San Juan. Although this eight by ten block district is part of San Juan, it is quite geographically and culturally distinct from the rest of the city. It occupies the western half of the islet of San Juan, which it shares with Puerta de Tierra. As this is a tourist destination, English is relatively common, but not universally spoken.
Founded in 1509, San Juan became a walled city protected by multiple forts. It guarded an important entrance into the Spanish Main, and withstood multiple attacks by the British and Dutch (some partially successful). It was considered the Gibraltar of the West Indies. Due to its military significance, the government kept the growing population within the city walls until 1897, when a few bastions were demolished. The forts received some naval bombardment from US naval ships during the Spanish American War (1898). Much of the district is intact architecturally, including the impressive fortifications.
Many tourists are caught unaware by the sun exposure received from simply walking around the sites of this tropical city. Sunblock is available at many stores in town. Wear good walking shoes to deal with the hills and cobblestone streets. Around the perimeter of the district the trade winds make it surprisingly comfortable, but along the interior streets it get much hotter, with closely spaced, multi-story buildings cutting off any breeze. Brief showers are quite common, so watch your step, the cobblestones can get quite slippery.
Old San Juan is a common stop for cruise ships, yet it is definitely not a beach resort. It is a real town within a city, where people work and live. Men typically wear collared shirts and long pants, and businessmen wear suits. Women tend to wear skirts or dresses and often high heeled shoes. Although visitors are expected to dress more casually; a collared shirt, shorts with pockets and belt, and shoes are minimally appropriate for adults at most attractions.
Get in
Today the port of San Juan annually accommodates nearly 1.4 million passengers in cruise ship travel alone, making it the third busiest cruise port in the world, according to the Cruise Industry Statistical Review published in 2000. The busiest docks are on the south side of the area near a large city bus station. Another pier adjacent to the old Pan American airport handles mostly Royal Caribbean cruise ships for beginning or ending their cruises; it must be reached by car or taxi. Otherwise, all cruise ships dock at Old San Juan.
You may arrive at San Juan/Luis Muñoz Marín Airport, then take a $20 cab ride to your pier. If cruising, you should reach San Juan at least a day before the cruise ship embarks to ensure you make it despite any airline troubles. This also provides time for sightseeing in Old San Juan, near your hotel, etc.
There is also ferry service from across the harbor. Although one can easily drive to Old San Juan, it is not easy to drive or park within the district due to the narrow streets.
For those staying at major hotels outside Old San Juan, day tours can usually be arranged with the concierge. During busy times, drivers may refuse those with significant luggage. For just getting around, you might also consider the city bus to and from Old San Juan. (see same subject for "San Juan")
Get around
By car
Old San Juan is primarily made up of one-way cobblestone roads, and parking is practically non-existent. If you must drive, try to drive and park along Calle de Norzagaray or any other streets on the northern side, and park there if you can. It is near the main attractions and the trolley system which can take you into Old San Juan and out back to your car when you are done.
By taxi
It is $20 to go within Old San Juan by taxi, and this option may be best if you are not practically dressed or not in comfortable walking shoes, or traveling as someone or with someone who cannot walk long distances easily.
By public transportation
Buses do not actually go into Old San Juan, and one walk across the cobblestone roads will show you why. However, they do serve a major bus station on the harbor side of the area, near one of the major cruise ship piers. There is a free, often-running trolley that takes people around the forts, museums, and the center of Old San Juan. Trolley stops are marked with yellow banners that show an illustration of a trolley and a number that indicates which stop it is. You can get on or off at any designated stop, and the trolley driver will help you find your stop if you aren't sure. If you're feeling a bit warm in the midday heat, hop on a white trolley which is open on the sides to catch a nice breeze while speeding to your destination. On Saturday and Sunday afternoons, when cruise ships bring in hundreds of tourists, the trolley is often completely full and does not pick up new passengers. Try to go early.
On foot
The attractions of Old San Juan are technically within walking distance of each other, although the climate and topography can make this untrue in practice. Even if the locals wear nice shoes or sandals, you should wear comfortable walking shoes, as you will scale a few hills and a lot of cobblestone while getting around. Even within the pedestrian metropolis that is Old San Juan, cars will speed through intersections, so use the same amount of caution as you do in other parts of San Juan and wait for cars to stop for you. Do not try to stop traffic unless it is urgent that you cross the street, and if you must then make sure you have made eye contact with the driver and there is no possibility that the car behind it can bypass him from the side and proceed across the intersection. Sidewalks are very narrow and sometimes may have grooves or tripping hazards, so be careful.
While definitely part of Old San Juan's charm, the identical-looking architecture of Old San Juan's buildings can be a nuisance to tourists trying to use landmarks or memory to find something. Don't wait to get to Old San Juan to get a map, get one beforehand and study it so you know what streets take you to your destination and what streets don't. Don't try to use landmarks until you are used to navigating the city, especially since the heat and tiredness from walking can wear you out more quickly than you think. If you get lost or confused, find a bench and pull out your map, which should be readily available to you. Locals will also try to respond to simple requests for help. Don't try to walk yourself back into familiar territory. If you are trying to find a specific museum or restaurant that is not one of the major ones, memorize the address and street. If you know exactly where you are and where you are going, you should find navigating Old San Juan on foot very easy and enjoyable.
Shopping in Old San Juan is diverse, with retailers scattered among many narrow streets. Stores include many fine jewelers, arts, crafts and mercantile shops, two drug stores, and a few branded "outlets", e.g., Coach...genuine with good prices, but discontinued styles. You'll also find numerous cafes and a few fine restaurants. You'll find a well-stocked Walgreens (Rx services pending) at the corner of a large square in the central area, and a new/large CVS (with Rx services) opposite the cross-bay ferry terminal.
Mid-late afternoon temperatures may make walking a bit oppressive, with tall, crowded buildings blocking any breeze. Alternatives to avoid the humidity and tropical sun include going early as stores open (typically 10AM on weekdays) or catching the free trolley winding throughout the area, with opportunities to get off at marked stops wherever desired. The trolley tends to stay very full on afternoons when cruise ships are in.
Unlike in most U.S. States, Puerto Rican laws make it easy for restaurants to sell alcohol. Even modest lunch counters will offer beer, wine, and some mixed drinks. Tipping is customary. There are restaurants which cater to tourists, particularly tapas bars and Latin "fusion" restaurants, but look at the menu before going in to make sure prices are in a comfortable range.
There is a public ordinance which bars drinking alcoholic beverages on the street. Although this is rarely enforced, it is recommended to consume all alcoholic beverages inside the establishments. This local ordinance is relaxed during the San Sebastian Carnival, where drinking in public areas will be allowed if using containers purchased at official establishments.
Although Old San Juan is almost entirely surrounded by water, no hotels have beach access. A few modern chain hotels are located near the cruise ship docks, some with casinos. Hotels within the city walls tend to be more colorful.
Stay safe
Within the city walls, Old San Juan is quite safe. On the southern waterfront by the piers where cruise ships dock, local police line the area, keeping it safe for tourists, even at night. Along this waterfront and in front of the Sheraton hotel is the best place to catch a taxi at night if you need to.
Tourists should be aware that a small neighborhood, La Perla, between the northern city wall and the ocean is a private community and not a tourist area. Visitors should avoid this area since it is a neighborhood of poverty and drug trafficking. La Perla is quite isolated from the attractions that line the northern part of the city and very visibly slummish and different looking amd separated from the rest of Old San Juan by the city walls, so it is not easy to accidentally wander into that part of town. The only thing that may bring tourists too close to La Perla is the Cementerio de Santa Maria Magdalena, which borders the neighborhood and lies at the bottom of the large grassy field behind El Morro. Try not to go into the cemetery unless you have business there, and never visit at night. Visiting photographers should also resist the temptation of going into La Perla to photograph the boldly colored, stacked shacks in various states of decay. To get the best views of La Perla without putting yourself in danger, take the trolley going north on C. de Norzagaray and sit on the left side, or try the lookout views from San Cristobal.
While safe during the daylight hours, at night it is also best to avoid the bastions of the northern city wall that overlook La Perla. As in any other foreign city, it is not advisable to go out alone late at night, unless you have a friend or guide to escort you. If you are traveling by bus, understand that buses that service stations in many of the outlying hotel areas stop running at around 9 or 10PM, and the exact time of the last bus is never sure. If you plan on being out at night in Old San Juan and you are taking the bus in, bring enough money for a taxi in case you stay out too late. Make sure you confirm with your hotel the price you should pay to get back, as cab drivers in Old San Juan are probably the most likely to add a dollar or so to the set fare. Many of the major resort hotels in the area have casinos, lounges, and discos with live music and restaurants which are mostly open until 3-4AM, along with taxis lining the entrance to take people back to their rooms when you're done.
Get out
For those staying in Old San Juan, organized bus/van day-trips to other sights in Puerto Rico can be arranged through most hotels.
Some cabs wait at the end of the El Morro esplanade footpath. There are usually many, many cabs standing at the southwest corner of Plaza Colón.

MACON, Ga. – After leading the Lipscomb baseball team to a three-game sweep of league foe Jacksonville, junior third baseman Gray Hutchinson has been named the Atlantic Sun Conference Player of the Week as announced on Monday.
Scoring nearly a third of the Bisons 19 runs on the weekend, Hutchinson crossed the dish six times against the Dolphins. The Sugar Valley, Ga., native went 6-for-11 on the week for a .545 average and led the conference with a 1.091 slugging percentage.
"Gray has been working hard to get his swing going and it definitely showed up last week," said Lipscomb head coach Jeff Forehand. "We've been expecting him to get the bat going and he finally has."
The junior capped off the weekend with an eighth-inning, three-run blast that proved to be pivotal in Lipscomb's 6-2 win over Jacksonville on Saturday night.
Hutchinson is the third Bison to receive A-Sun Player of the Week honors this season joining senior infielder Zak Messer and junior shortstop Aaron Sandoval, who each brought home league honors earlier this season.
Lipscomb hosts Tennessee Tech on Tuesday night before wrapping up the 2012 regular season with a three-game set at Belmont beginning on Thursday night at Rose Park.

April 20, 2009 - It has been a while since Terminator fans have had something to get excited about - given the last of the three movies was suspect, and the unfortunate television series that's only good idea involved making Sarah Connor young and sexy. But, with the upcoming release of latest film on May 21, it would seem Warner Bros. wants to capitalize on its hype. And let's face it, good Terminator games are a rarity.
The plot of this title, in classic, film-adapted game fashion, is set two years before the events of the movie. You play as John Connor from an over-the-shoulder, third-person perspective, as you battle against hordes of machines. The gameplay involves having a squad of around eight A.I. teammates with you. One of them is named Blair Wilson, who stays with you throughout the entire game and acts as player two during co-op play. Furthermore, Terminator Salvation is following the long line of cover-based shooters like Gears of War and Rainbow Six: Vegas, which should work considering your enemies are terminators. Also, the cover system is designed around having destructible environments, forcing players to move from cover to cover.
Machines are designed to hunt and kill with no regard to their own safety, so don't expect to send your enemy into retreat. Instead, enemies will mercilessly pursue you, often just moving in straight lines and out in the open. While this doesn't seem like it would make for interesting gameplay, having a ton of enemies approaching at once will probably keep the tension high. Furthermore, it appears that Terminator Salvation is attempting to move away from mostly linear movements of cover-based games, where the player starts on one side of the map and uses cover to get to the other. Enemies are supposed to approach from all sides at all times, increasing the chances of being flanked and overrun.
To keep players from tiring of the standard cover-based gameplay, the game includes on-rail parts where the player takes control of mounted weaponry and lays waste to pursuing enemies. Again, such a feature is in no way innovative and tends to become the standard side-dish for third-person shooters. Moreover, there is no indication that these on-rail parts are going to throw anything new into the mix either, so expect a pretty standard derivation while playing through them.
The weaponry that is available to the player should make for interesting moments as well. Things like shotguns and assault rifles probably won't do much damage against the heavily-armored enemies in the game unless a weak spot is found. This is where teamwork comes into play. Having squad mates distract enemies long enough for you to attack a weak spot will be vital. Having to depend completely on the A.I. of your squad mates, however, could prove to be an issue. Of course, cooperative play should help alleviate those frustrations.
Visually, Terminator Salvation looks to be on par with most other titles coming out this year. It isn't going to stand out from the rest in this regard, or turn any heads, but fancy graphics don't make a game either. The unique cinematic styling of the movie seems to be copied over to the game, at least to some degree, but considering neither the game nor the film have been released, it's tough to say whether this ends up being a good thing.
Unsurprisingly, it doesn't look like the actors from the film are reprising their roles in the game, an issue that many gamers have with these tie-ins. Instead, the game will feature characters that look similar to their actor counterparts and sound remotely like them. Nevertheless, the plot is supposed to lead up to the events that take place in the movie, eliminating the possibility of players being able to defeat Skynet once and for all-an ending that is probably best left to the film.
Terminator Salvation is going to be available on all major platforms, which is both good and bad. It's good because it means that those of us who aren't crazed enough to own every single console will have the opportunity to take the fight to Skynet. On the other hand, it puts the developer in a problematic position because it limits what features they can place. For example, the Xbox 360 version is set to have split-screen cooperative play, but the feature won't be available for the PC version. Multiplayer-wise, there are huge differences between console and PC games, and how these issues will be handled in Salvation has yet to be explained.
There is plenty of hype and anticipation for the film, but whether that hype translates into the game's success remains to be seen. Terminator Salvation seems to be following the long line of third-person shooter conventions; not really breaking any molds or going outside the box. Of course, this isn't to say sticking to the "norm" is bad. On the contrary, many of today's most played and successful games just took what was standard, recreated it, and refined it to death. With any luck, Terminator Salvation will accomplish this task, making it one of the few good film-adapted games available.

The American Farm Bureau Federation has urged President Barack Obama to issue a presidential declaration of emergency for the Mississippi River.
In a letter this week to the president and top administration officials, AFBF, and nearly 20 other national organizations, said there could be an economic catastrophe in America's heartland as soon as mid-December if the administration does not take emergency action to ensure that water levels do not fall below the level needed to support commercial navigation.
Because of this year's severe drought, waterborne commerce on the middle Mississippi River is in danger, especially now that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has begun to implement plans to reduce the release of water to the river from dams on the upper Missouri River.
"The Mississippi River is a critical national transportation artery, on which hundreds of millions of tons of essential commodities are shipped...," stated the letter. "Substantial curtailment of navigation will effectively sever the country's inland waterway superhighway, imperil the shipment of critical cargo for domestic consumption and for export, threaten manufacturing industries and power generation and risk thousands of related jobs in the Midwest."
Aside from issuing an emergency declaration, the groups requested that President Obama direct the Corp to immediately remove the rock pinnacles along the river and release enough water from the Missouri River reservoirs to preserve a nine-foot navigation channel on the Mississippi River.
Attached to the joint letter were letters from the governors of Missouri, Illinois and Iowa, 15 U.S. Senators, and 62 U.S. House members urging prompt federal action on Mississippi River navigation.

Local religious leaders continue to lead an effort to bridge the political and social gaps in the development of a regional transit system.
On June 4, the Metro Coalition of Congregations of the Harriet Tubman Center will join WDET 101.9 FM host Craig Fahle, business leaders and members from the Regional Transit Authority for a transit summit at the Detroit Zoo.
The summit, "Better Transit, Better Business," is designed to spur meaningful conversation about regional transit as it relates to job access, economic development, talent attraction and investment, the group said in a news release.
"Improving transit in Southeast Michigan is essential to the region's economy. So now is the time to get involved," the Rev. Louise Ott, pastor of the Congregational Church of Birmingham, chairwoman of MCC's Regional Transit Committee and member of the RTA's Citizen's Advisory Committee, said in a release.
"We know we need to build partnerships with the business community and local officials to ensure the transit system connects the four-county region, meets the needs of a diverse constituency, and is a system voters are willing to invest in," Ott said.
Marie Donigan, partner at Royal Oak-based Donigan McLogan Consultants LLC, said the summit will give business leaders and local governments the opportunity to tell the transit authority how a transit system could benefit communities.
The MCC held a regional transit system rally in March at the First United Methodist Church of Birmingham.
Eight churches in Oakland and Macomb counties make up the organization.

About Bhubaneshwar
About the city:
About BhubaneswarThe capital of the Indian state of Odisha, Bhubaneshwar is a historic city with roots that go back 2,000 years from now. But Bhubaneshwar was not always the capital of Odisha. Back in 1936, Cuttack was the capital city of a newly formed, separate province, which was then called 'Orissa'. In 2011, Orissa was renamed Odisha. It was in 1956, however, that Bhubaneshwar became the capital of the state. The area that encompasses the present-day Bhubaneshwar first held significance during the times of the Kalinga rulers, when it served as the capital of the Kalinga region. Often referred to as the 'Temple City', Bhubaneswar gets its name from one of Lord Shiva's names, Tribhuvaneswar, which translates to "Lord of the Three Worlds". Under the city's jurisdiction lies the preservation and up-keep of over 500 of India's finest temple remains. Bhubaneshwar, Puri, and Konark form the 'golden triangle' of eastern India. Bhubaneshwar is one of the most visited places in India because of its architectural, religious, cultural, and artistic heritage.

Penn St. 69, Iowa 64
Tim Frazier scored 18 points and Penn State withstood a 3-point
shooting barrage in the second half by Iowa's Matt Gatens to hold
on for a 69-64 victory on Thursday night.
Trailing 66-63 with 49 seconds left, Iowa's Melsahn Basabe
missed two foul shots and Jon Graham was fouled at the other end
for Penn State (12-15, 4-10 Big Ten). The redshirt freshman forward
hit two free throws for a five-point lead, spurring a silent Jordan
Center crowd into raucous cheers.
Basabe missed another foul shot with 7 seconds left and Cammeron
Woodyard went 1 of 2 from the line to seal the win.
Gatens hit 5 of 7 from behind the 3-point arc in the second
half. He scored 11 straight for Iowa (13-13, 5-8) at one point to
help narrow a 16-point deficit to two with 2:40 left.
Gatens finished with a game-high 21 points.
He missed all five of his field-goal attempts in the first half
before his second-half spurt, sinking shots from wide open in the
corner or with a defender's hand in his face from the wing.
Penn State went cold on the other end going scoreless for
four-plus minutes as coach Patrick Chambers watched his team's big
lead get whittled away.
But the rebuilding Nittany Lions held on down the stretch for
their second straight Big Ten win despite getting outscored in the
second half 40-31.
Frazier, Penn State's sparkplug, coolly led his team down the
stretch, before Graham and Woodyard stepped up at the foul line
late. Frazier added four assists and four steals.
Graham, already having one of the best games of his young
career, added to his short highlight reel with his two key foul
shots. Graham finished with 10 points and six rebounds, and went 3
of 3 from the field. Woodyard added 13 points.
Aaron White added 16 points and 10 rebounds for Iowa, while
Basabe finished with seven points and three rebounds off the

If you're ready to ride a bike for fitness but not ready to hunch over like a Tour de France racer or tackle death-defying single-track trails in the mountains, a single-speed, bulbous-tire beach cruiser won't do. You need a "fitness bike," what the industry now calls the broad category that combines the large, fast-rolling 700-C wheels of road bikes, a tough multi-tread tire and the straight handlebars of a mountain bike. Formerly known as hybrids, these lightweight aluminum-frame bikes have become more refined, stylish and specialized; all work for commuting while sporting varying capabilities for pavement and mild dirt paths. Here are four notable, entry-level 2013 models, each outfitted with mounts for racks and water bottles, and priced so they won't break the bank.
Almost do anything
Specialized CrossTrail: A versatile pavement and dirt-path bike with Shimano Altus 24-speed trigger-shifter gearing, light-duty suspension fork with 60 millimeters (2¼ inches) of travel, tough multi-belt 38-millimeter-wide tires and anti-numbness platform handlebar grips.
Likes: Rugged, fast and comfortable. Perfect if you ride on the street and well-graded dirt paths. Although not designed for it, the CrossTrail even got me through some rocky single-track trails due to its shock and bulletproof knobby tires. Higher-end models add disc brakes, a lock-out on the fork, internally run cables and better components.
Dislikes: Since the fork tempts you to do challenging trails that you probably shouldn't do, I would have preferred a higher, mountain-bike-style bottom bracket (pedal axel) for rock clearance and a wider frame spacing to accommodate wider tires.
Price: $580 ($630 with disc brakes). (408) 779-6229; http://www.specialized.com
Caffeinated cool
Felt Café 7: A simple, civilized and stylish road or mild trail bike with 7-speed gearing, a coffee cup holder on the handlebar, a kickstand and several fashion and comfort touches.
Likes: It has a rock-solid feel; a comfortable ride, due to tall, swept-back handlebars; and it's loaded with classy touches, including the frame's intricately shaped top tube, stitched synthetic leather grips and matching seat, and, of course, a cup holder. Designed for ease of use by hassle-averse riders, there's just one twist shifter, no front derailleur, a cushy seat, rubber pedals that can be ridden barefoot and a kickstand. The men's model is all black; the silver women's has a step-through frame. Café models with up to 24 gears range to $669.
Dislikes: Lack of a double or triple front gear and front derailleur limit the bike's top-end speed, granny-gear hill-climbing ability and commuter potential.
Price: $499. (949) 452-9050; http://www.feltbicycles.com
Style and speed
Electra Verse: The stylish 21-speed fitness road, dirt path and commuter bike combines comfort, performance and classy design features.
Likes: Sleek good looks due to an elegant frame with a sweeping top and bottom tubes, hidden internal-frame brake cables and road-bike-style caliper brakes. The tall stem puts you in an upright position that makes for comfortable long-distance riding and nimble handling. The Shimano Acera 21-speed drive-train with trigger shifters offer plenty of options for flatland speed and hill climbs. Mixed tire tread can handle smooth gravel paths. Includes attachment points for racks. $639 moves you up to 24-speed Alivio.
Dislikes: None.
Price: $539. (760) 607-2453; http://www.electrabike.com
Trail to commute
Trek 7.2 FX: The all-conditions performance fitness bike for road, trail and commuting comes with 24-speed Shimano Alivio drive-train, puncture-resistant tires and mountain-bike style V brakes.
Likes: Fast, quick and balanced on road and mild dirt paths. Like the Specialized, it has more of a leaned-over, high-performance position than the Electra or the Felt, plus just enough style (note the red accents) to feel hip. Fender mounts make it a worthy all-weather commuter. It's also available in a women's model with altered dimensions. The FX's higher-end models have disc brakes and better components. For more off-road capability, go to the Trek 8 Dual Sport bikes, which have a light suspension fork.
Dislikes: None.
Price: $549.99. (800) 313-8735; http://www.trekbikes.com

LYNDHURST, New Jersey, August 19, 2008 (ENS) - The New Jersey Meadowlands Commission has decided to invest $1.5 million over three years to fund a new program that mentors and guides early-stage environmentally friendly companies.
The NJMC Business Accelerator is intended to provide entrepreneurs with affordable office space and the guidance needed to turn an idea or technology into a thriving business.
Now a part of the New Jersey Business Incubation Network, the Accelerator opens a new office in September at 160 Chubb Avenue in Lyndhurst. The 12,000 square foot space includes conference rooms, shared business equipment, a digital phone system and high-speed and wireless Internet connections.
One-on-one mentoring, coaching, and other resources and services that may out of the reach of young businesses will be available to Accelerator clients.
"Our goal is to attract these companies to the Meadowlands District, helping them to set up shop and to remain in this region," said Joseph Doria, NJMC chairman and commissioner of the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs.
"These local businesses are the seeds that will ultimately help grow the economies of our Meadowlands municipalities," he said.
The commission is now accepting applications from people interested in becoming clients of the Accelerator. The NJMC is interested in clients "who have a vision for sustainable, renewable, alternative energy and other green technologies and service businesses."
Doria says the NJMC Business Accelerator advances Governor Jon Corzine's energy master plan and his economic growth strategy for New Jersey.
The project also is a component of the NJMC's energy master plan to promote energy efficiency and sustainability throughout the Meadowlands District, a vast wetland that stretches along the terminus of the Hackensack and Passaic Rivers as they flow into Newark Bay.
This plan includes installing up to 20 megawatts of renewable energy in the Meadowlands District by 2020 and encouraging green building principles through reduced permit costs in the 14 municipalities in Bergen and Hudson counties that lie within the district.
To expand the services and support the Accelerator provides, the commission has established collaborations with universities, colleges and community groups.
The Accelerator's director is Michel Bitritto, a former president of the New Jersey Business Incubation Network and a director of the Meadowlands Commission.
She is an executive with 27 years' of experience in New Jersey's chemical industry working for Celanese, among others. A prominent Democrat, in 2001, Bitritto won a Council seat in Summit, New Jersey.
As of August 20, she and the Accelerator are featured on the Comcast Newsmakers program on the Headline News.
The commission also is going green in other ways. Its new Center for Environmental and Scientific Education was built to LEED standards with roof-top solar panels, solar light tubes in classroom ceilings, recycled building materials, and low-flow toilets as well as energy efficient lighting and HVAC systems.
Applications and more information are available on the NJMC website at: www.njmeadowlands.gov. Contact Bitritto at: email@example.com.

Right heart ventriculography is a study that images the right chambers (atrium and ventricle) of the heart.
Alternative Names
Angiography - right heart
How the test is performed
You will get a mild sedative 30 minutes before the procedure. A cardiologist will cleanse the site and numb the area with a local anesthetic. Then a catheter will be inserted into a vein in your neck or groin.
The catheter will be moved forward into the right side of the heart. As the catheter is advanced, the doctor can record pressures from the right atrium and right ventricle.
Contrast material ("dye") is injected into the right side of the heart. It helps the cardiologist determine the size and shape of the hearts chambers.
The procedure will last 1 to several hours.
How to prepare for the test
You will not be allowed to eat or drink for 6 - 8 hours before the test. The procedure takes place in the hospital. Generally, you will be admitted the morning of the procedure. However, you may need to be admitted the night before.
A health care provider will explain the procedure and its risks. You must sign a consent form.
How the test will feel
You will be given local anesthesia where the catheter is inserted. The only thing you should feel is pressure at the site. You will not feel the catheter as it is moved through your veins into the right side of the heart.
Why the test is performed
Right heart
Normal Values
What abnormal results mean
- Abnormal connections between the right and left side of the heart
- Abnormalities of the right atrium, such as
atrial myxoma(rarely)
- Abnormalities of the valve on the right side of the heart
- Abnormal pressures or volumes
- Weakened pumping function of the right ventricle (this could be due to many causes)
What the risks are
- Cardiac
arrhythmias Cardiac tamponade Embolismfrom blood clots at the tip of the catheter Heart attack
- Hemorrhage
- Infection
- Kidney damage
- Low blood pressure
- Reaction to contrast dye
- Trauma to the vein or artery
Special considerations
This test may be combined with
