|Oracle Fusion Middleware Adapter for Oracle Applications User's Guide
11g Release 1 (22.214.171.124.0)
Part Number E10537-05
Oracle Applications is a set of integrated business applications that runs entirely on the Internet. Oracle Applications offers you the following:
Reduced costs
Increased value across front-office and back-office functions
Access to current, accurate, and consistent data
Oracle Applications are built on a unified information architecture that consolidates data from Oracle and non-Oracle applications and enables a consistent definition of customers, suppliers, partners, and employees across the entire enterprise. This results in a suite of applications that can give you information, such as current performance metrics, financial ratios, profit and loss summaries. To connect Oracle Applications to non-Oracle applications, you use Oracle Fusion Middleware Adapter for Oracle Applications.
Adapter for Oracle Applications not only provides comprehensive, bidirectional, multimodal, synchronous, and asynchronous connectivity to Oracle Applications, but also supports for all modules of Oracle Applications in Release 12, Release 11.5.10, and Release 11.5.9 including custom integration interfaces in various versions of Oracle E-Business Suite.
Important: Please note that Adapter for Oracle Applications is also informally known as Oracle E-Business Suite Adapter.
The support for various versions of Oracle E-Business Suite has the following conditions:
Adapter for Oracle Applications supports Oracle E-Business Suite Release 11.5.9, as well as Release 12.0 and above.
Adapter for Oracle Applications supports Oracle E-Business Suite Release 11.5.10 which works with OWF.G.Rollup 7 applied.
To enable the native Oracle E-Business Suite connectivity using J2EE data sources feature, the minimum requirement for Oracle E-Business Suite Release 11i is 11i.ATG_PF.H.Delta.6 (RUP6), and for Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12 is Release 12.0.4.
See "Oracle Fusion Middleware Adapter for Oracle Applications, Release 11g", My Oracle Support (formerly OracleMetaLink) Knowledge Document 787637.1 for details.
Adapter for Oracle Applications provides the following features:
It leverages the Integration Repository to provide the information from the source of truth on integration.
It supports the widest range of integration interface types. They are PL/SQL APIs, Business Events, Open Interface Tables, Concurrent Programs, XML Gateway Interfaces, e-Commerce Gateway Interface, and Interface Views.
It generates adapter metadata as WSDL files with JCA extension.
Note: For more information, see Oracle Fusion Middleware User's Guide for Technology Adapters.
It works under the securely configured connection between Oracle Applications and Oracle Fusion Middleware using just the FND User name and password for authentication.
It leverages and supports Oracle User Management function security feature to allow only authorized users to access and execute APIs that they are exposed as Web services to update Oracle Applications.
It implicitly takes care of applications context without bothering about the complexities of initiating the same explicitly.
It supports multiple languages and multiple organization access control (MOAC) setup.
It uses a JDeveloper based design-time tool for dynamically browsing the Oracle Applications interfaces and configuring the adapter metadata. The design-time tasks are wizard driven, user-friendly, and intuitive providing superior user experiences.
It provides the global transaction control support implementing two-phase commit by leveraging the underlying JCA standards compliant framework.
It supports multiple versions of Oracle E-Business Suite from the same instance of Adapter at design time as well as run time.
It provides flexfield support for PL/SQL APIs that flexfield information is not only displayed at design time but also allows the runtime to work in the context of flexfields, not database columns.
Adapter for Oracle Applications is based on JCA 1.5 standards and deployed as a resource adapter within the Oracle WebLogic Server container. The architecture of Adapter for Oracle Applications is similar to the architecture of technology adapters.
Adapter for Oracle Applications Architecture
For more information on technology adapters, see Oracle Fusion Middleware User's Guide for Technology Adapters.
Adapter for Oracle Applications and Oracle JCA Adapters are available as part of the Oracle Fusion Middleware install. In addition, these adapters support both Oracle WebLogic Server and middle tier deployments.
For more information, see Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Guide for Oracle SOA Suite and Oracle Business Process Management Suite.
Adapter for Oracle Applications integrates with the JCA Binding Component of the Oracle Fusion Middleware platform; therefore, it integrates with service engines, such as Oracle BPEL Process Manager (Oracle BPEL PM) and Oracle Mediator.
Adapter for Oracle Applications can easily expose public integration interface within Oracle E-Business Suite as standard Web services. These services can be created and configured in the Oracle JDeveloper at design time while integrating with Oracle BPEL PM and Oracle Mediator. At run time, Oracle E-Business Suite integration flows are deployed in the Oracle WebLogic Server for execution of the services to complete the integration.
Oracle BPEL Process Manager
Based on the service-oriented architecture (SOA), Oracle BPEL Process Manager (BPEL PM) provides a comprehensive solution for creating, deploying, and managing Oracle BPEL Process Manager business processes.
Oracle Mediator
Oracle Mediator provides a lightweight framework to route data from service providers to external partners. In addition, it can subscribe to and publish business events, as well as transform data using XSL Transformations.
For example, a Mediator can accept data contained in a text file from an application or service, transform it to a format appropriate for updating a database that serves as a customer repository, and then route and deliver the data to that database.
Design Time
While integrating with Oracle BPEL PM and Oracle Mediator, Adapter for Oracle Applications uses Oracle JDeveloper as the design-time tool to create SOA Composite applications and generate WSDL and JCA files for the Web services.
When you create a partner link in Oracle JDeveloper BPEL Designer, the Adapter Configuration Wizard starts and allows you to select and configure the Adapters for Oracle Applications or other adapters. With proper database and service connection setups, you are presented with a functionally organized list of inbound and outbound interfaces available in your Oracle E-Business Suite instance for which you select the one that fulfill your requirements. When configuration is complete, the wizard generates a WSDL file corresponding to the XML schema for the partner link.
Additional process activities are added to the BPEL process if necessary to assign parameters and invoke the service.
Run Time
Adapter for Oracle Applications is based on the JCA 1.5 specification. A Composite application including the BPEL processes, Mediator services, and partner link definitions generated at design time is deployed to the Oracle WebLogic Server. A JCA Binding Component acts as the glue layer that integrates the standard JCA 1.5 resource adapter with the Oracle BPEL Process Manager during run time. The JCA Binding Component acts as a pseudo JCA 1.5 container.
Note: Only the JCA 1.5 integration allows the BPEL PM to receive inbound events (from EIS to J2EE/BPEL PM). The Oracle BPEL Process Manager acts as a pseudo JCA 1.5 container and implements the JCA 1.5-specific System Contracts. The JCA 1.5 resource adapter and the BPEL PM instance must be deployed in the same Oracle WebLogic Server container.
The Web service invocation launched by the BPEL Invoke activity contained in the SOA Composite is converted to a JCA CCI (Common Client Interface) outbound interaction, and the JCA response is converted back to a Web service response. This end-to-end invocation is synchronous.
Testing the SOA Composite Application at Run Time
After deploying the SOA Composite application, you should validate the design by testing the BPEL process contained in the deployed SOA Composite application to test the interface integration.
For detailed design-time and run-time tasks for each integration interface, see the individual interface chapter explained later in this book.
Oracle WebLogic Server is a scalable, enterprise-ready Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) application server. Its infrastructure enables enterprises to deploy mission-critical applications in a robust, secure, highly available, and scalable environment and is an ideal foundation for building applications based on service-oriented architectures (SOA). SOA is a design methodology aimed at maximizing the reuse of application services.
In addition, Oracle WebLogic Server consists of a JCA container for hosting JCA resource adapters. JCA defines standard Java interfaces for simplifying the integration of a J2EE server with various back-end applications. All client applications run within the Oracle WebLogic Server environment.
Design Time
Oracle JDeveloper is used to create Web services represented in WSDL files and XML Schema Definition (XSD) files for the adapter request-response service.
The Oracle WebLogic Server clients use these XSD files during run time for calling the JCA outbound interaction.
Run Time
Oracle Adapter for Oracle Applications is based on the JCA 1.5 specification and is deployed as resource adapter within the Oracle WebLogic Server container. The JCA 1.5 specification addresses the life-cycle management, message-inflow (for Adapter Event publish), and work management contracts.
For more information about using Oracle WebLogic Server with Oracle JDeveloper, see the Using WebLogic Server with Oracle JDeveloper section, Oracle Fusion Middleware Installation Guide for Oracle JDeveloper.

I'll note first off that you're using '-n' and you've got what appear to be decimal fractions in your test data. I haven't looked into all the issues surrounding the interpretation of decimal numbers with decimal fractions by sort, but I have found that it doesn't always do what one might expect despite claims in the NetBSD manual page. Note also that it appears as if POSIX doesn't require support of decimal numbers (quoted from SuSv3, aka IEEE Std 1003.1-2001): -n Restrict the sort key to an initial numeric string, consisting of optional <blank>s, optional minus sign, and zero or more digits with an optional radix character and thousands separators (as defined in the current locale), which shall be sorted by arithmetic value. An empty digit string shall be treated as zero. Leading zeros and signs on zeros shall not affect ordering. -- Greg A.

Iran Charges Prominent Women's Rights Activists
A policewoman with a baton confronts a protester at the June 12 demonstration in Tehran (kosoof.com) June 21, 2006 -- Leading Iranian women's rights activists Noushin Ahmadi Khorasani and Parvin Ardalan have been charged with acting "against national security" by calling for an "illegal" gathering to promote equal rights and publishing related statements, according to Iranian news reports.
Ahmadi Khorasani and Ardalan have reportedly been freed on their own recognizance.
Also today in Iran, the lawyer of detained former reformist legislator Ali Akbar Moussavi Khoeini, who was arrested during the protest, said he has not been allowed to meet with his client and neither has he been informed of charges against him.
Iran's main reformist party has called for Moussavi Khoeini's release.
Women in Tehran (epa file photo)
CALLING FOR MORE RIGHTS: Although women played key roles in Iran's 1979 Islamic Revolution, the place of women in post-revolutionary society has been a vexing question. Iranian women have struggled to bring attention to their calls for greater rights in their country's rigid theocratic system, calls that have often clashed with the values proclaimed by conservatives in society.

Some exam boards put certain topics in the Core 3 module, while others will have the same topics in the Core 4 module, and vice versa. We have therefore put the topics for Core 3 and 4 together.
FunctionsAlgebra, Series and Functions
Binomial Expansions
Coordinate Geometry
Trigonometric identities to learn:
C3 Differentiaton
Differentiation was introduced back in Core 1... Basically all that's changed is that we can differentiate harder algebra.
To differentiate, you need to use this form:
It may look kind of scary, but it's much cleaner that using the chain rule, another way. What the algebra means is: the power (n) times the differential (f'(x)) times the original to the power of 1 less ([f(x)]^n-1).
First we take the power: 6.
Times this by the differential of the brackets:
Finally times by the original, to the power of 1 less:
All those together:
Easy, hm? if your struggling pm kevlar for more help!
The exam will give you all the usual graph questions:
Find the gradient of the curve at the point... this means, find the dy/dx and sub in the coordinates
Find the perpendicular line at the point... This means find the reciprical the dy/dx number and times by -1. Finally use the formula: y - y1 = m(x - x1) where x1 and y1 are the coorinates of the point.
Product and Quotient Rules
You need to learn these. They're not given in the formula booklet:
Product Rule: To find we use the product rule which is
Quotient Rule:
To find we use the quotient rule which is
An easy way to remember this is by the rhyme "Low d-high minus high d-low, over the square of what's below", i.e. (v x du) minus (u x dv), all over (v^2)
NOTE: Quotient rule will be written in the AQA formulae book, but in the form g(x) and f(x) i've written both in there simplest forms for revision just remember prodUct U is cap as it starts with u then ends in u and remember the + sign, and quotient rule starts with v ends with v with a minus sign all over v^2
Product Rule : For example, find the where
First, we notice two things times together. We can't practically expand the brackets, however, so we need the product rule. We call the first thing "u" and the second "v" and differentiate them separately, and then stick them into the product rule.
now we plug this into the formula
which simplifies to
This factorises to [This is the hardest part but don't worry if you can't do it in the exam as it's usually worth ONLY 1 mark]
Quotient rule
The following indefinite integrals follow naturally from the differentiation work
Numerical Methods
When using iterration to find x1, x2 etc...
Type the given value for x0 into your calculator and press '='
Then enter the iterrative formula into your calculator and for xn, simply put 'Ans'. Then to find the value for x1, just press '='. Then, to find x2, simply press '=' again without any further work. Likewise for x3, x4 etc...
If two vectors are perpendicular then
If two vectors are parallel then
Two vectors are skew (cross on only 2 dimensions but not 3) when the three equations formed by the two lines, in terms of ks,js,is and kt,jt,it do not have common solutions of s and t for all three equations.

This past Christmas I gave each of my students a personalized manuscript book. They loved the design and some of them starting filling them up with original compositions the very next week! Since, for the most part, I've opted not to use theory books I can also utilize these for written assignments I give my students – writing out their scales, chord progressions, etc.
Whether you want to give your students a special, but practical, gift or use a manuscript book for their regular written assignments, you can get lots of use out of this versatile and attractive manuscript book! (Just click the button below to download the file, save it to your computer and then use it as often as you like to print books for your students. You can e-mail the whole file to a print shop and have them run how ever many copies you need and bind them. The book is set up with margin spacing to allow for double-sided printing.) Enjoy!

1970 Mustang Mach 1 428 Super Cobra Jet R Code Red Full Restoration
I am very pleased to present this super rare 1970 Mustang Mach 1 428 Super Cobra Jet "R" code car. The VIN # is 0F05R141743.
This rare Mach 1 has undergone a recent complete restoration. Only the seats were left original. In fact, the only flaw that was noticed was a small hole in the rear seating area which is not noticeable since the owner keeps the rear seat folded down at all tmes. Other than that, the car was incredibly restored and a pleasure to view and drive. Feast on the pictures for yourself and rest assured that this is the real deal.
According to the Marti Report, the VIN # decodes as follows:
0 = 1970
F = Built in Dearborn
05 = Mustang Mach 1 Sportsroof
R = 428-4V CJ Ram Air
41,743 = Ford Sequence #
12/69 = built December 1969
63C = Mustang Mach 1 Sportsroof
T = Medium Red Paint Ford #2008-A
3A = Black Clarion Knit/Corinthian Vinyl Bucket Seats
V = 3.91 Traction-Lok axle ration
6 = 4 speed close ratio manual trans.
41 = Chicago Ordering District
Owner recently added the following:
– New clock
– New rear end
– Replacement seat covers (included not installed)
Vehicle Condition – – I have personally inspected and photographed this fine Mustang. In my opinion, it is in excellent condition both mechanically and cosmetically. Having undergone an extensive restoration, this car needs very little. It really presents well and has all the power and sound that the 428 should have. No disappointments here.
I invite and encourage any interested party to inspect this car in Vero Beach, FL. and determine for yourself that this car is truly in excellent condition. Seeing is really believing.

Alexander Kelly On ... What I Heard About The World
Editorial Staff • Bradford, Darlington, Derby, Harrogate, Huddersfield, Hull, Leeds, Newcastle upon Tyne, Nottingham, Scarborough, Sheffield, Sunderland, Wakefield, York • 18 Oct 2010
What We Heard About the World is a devised performance and I have been reading on your blog about the process of establishing exactly what will go into the piece. Have you finalised the content of the show yet?
Pretty much. We've finalised the content for this version of the show, but the research process is ongoing, so it is possible that later this year, or touring next year, we may develop stories that we hear whilst presenting this version.
Has the devising/rehearsal process been typical of Third Angel or have there been surprises?
I suppose it has been typical in the fact that it has been both familiar and different. Working with artists from mala voadora, the Lisbon based company we are collaborating with, we were all keen that we would work slightly differently to how we would on our own. But obviously we wanted to work together because there is a shared sensibility. I think the main difference is just how much material we had on the table at the start of this stage of the devising process.
Can you tell us about your research process?
We set out looking for stories of fakes, substitutions and stand-ins, and we've been collecting stories since January – either online via our blog, Facebook and Twitter, and also through conversations and work-in-progress performances. These tryout shows ended up creating a stand-alone durational performance (which we call Research Table) through which we collect stories from the audience and place them on a map that we build one country at a time. In that version we give each story a two word title and a little iconic stand-up drawing to mark its position on the map. We showed versions of this at festivals in Sheffield and Oldenburg, with Forest Fringe in Glasgow and Edinburgh, and at the Society of Cartographers Summer School in Manchester.
How have the public responded to your invitation for them to tell you their stories?
Very generously. People have been great in the story-collecting performances, and the online response has been really interesting. People have sent us stuff straight after we've done a call-out, but also months later – it's obviously lodged itself into a few people's brains, and they hear something weeks later and think of us.
Have you made contact with travellers from far flung places? How far have your investigations reached?
We really have had stories about the whole world, and from people all over the world. Most of the festival performances had international audiences, and of course the internet enables the research to be global, within the online community. So we got 'this is what happens in my country stories' and also 'I've been to that country' or 'I live in this place now, and what I've noticed is...' stories. So the stories do come from native and visitor points of view, which is important to us.
Are there any stories you weren't able to keep in the performance that you are sad to lose?
Absolutely. We had about 200 stories on the table at the start of this stage of rehearsals, which we quickly 'long-listed' down to about 80. We got that down to about 30 over the next few weeks, and the show is made up of a selection from that shortlist. A lot of the later work in rehearsal has been getting the balance of the show right, so there were several quite developed stories that didn't make this version of the show. It's not unusual for us to make more material than we can fit in, but there were a couple we were sorry to lose very late in the day. But there is space in the show for a couple of different shorter stories each night if we choose.
Are there any stories that have become particular favourites?
The story that started it – the lifesize 2D stand-ins of soldiers given to families in America when they go to serve overseas – has been an enduring favourite throughout the project. But I think that actually most of our favourites are in the show – though they are all favourites for different reasons.
Following its run in Sheffield What We Heard About the World is touring to Portugal. How do you plan to negotiate the language difference when you're performing over there?
That's exactly what we're starting to work on now. We decided early on that we wouldn't try to think about both contexts whilst we were making it. The run in Sheffield is long enough for us to get the 'English' version up and running, and then to think about the Portuguese version. We don't think it is a question of simply translating the text and surtitling it. It will almost definitely be in two languages, but the exact roles of the performers will probably change, too. I'll let you know how it works if you like...
Can you summarise what you have heard about the world?
Ha! That's a tricky one...my thoughts about our original theme (a suspicion of the inauthentic, I suppose) have certainly broadened and deepened. I have understood that it is, of course, nowhere near that simple. We've certainly heard a lot of the sort of stories we went looking for – of fakes and replicas used knowingly in the day to day – but they have covered a real spectrum of situations and emotions. So I think there is probably too much to summarise – which of course allows me to finish by suggesting that the best way to find out what we heard is to come to the show...
What I Heard About the World runs until 30 October 2010 at Sheffield Crucible Studio Theatre before touring Portugal in November and December 2010

The days of passing notes in class are over. Now kids can text, email, instant message, connect to their favorite social networking sites and even send live video over their phones.
Such options aren't exclusively available to those who can afford the iPhone or Blackberry anymore. The 3G phone is becoming a standard.
One of these smartphones, Nokia Surge, will be available through AT&T July 19, and will be priced at $79.99 after a mail-in rebate.
One of the anticipated new features of the phone is AT&T Video Share, which will allow users to share live video while talking on the phone. Customers can also post pictures and videos on social networking sites like Facebook, MySpace and Twitter from their phones.
The wireless plan will cost $39.99 or higher with a voice plan of $30 (the same as the iPhone).

Favorite juicing combinations
A friend recently gave me a juicer Tuesday. It's not something I would pay $100 for, but if it's offered to me, I'll take it. It's a Jack Lalanne. I've used it a couple times, and the juice is good. But I'm wondering how many of you are more proficient in fruit/vegetable combinations, and what you'd suggest. Thanks in advance.

The hot corner is now all his
Team shows faith in Middlebrooks
As he left his final game in a Red Sox uniform Sunday, removed after a seventh-inning triple, Kevin Youkilis received a rousing ovation from the Fenway faithful, a emotional tribute to the infielder's contributions over eight-plus seasons that included three All-Star Games and two World Series rings.
But that moment is gone. The torch has been passed. Only one flame remains lit at the hot corner.
With Youkilis shipped off to the White Sox, Will Middlebrooks is Boston's full-time third baseman, a move that seemed inevitable given the way Middlebrooks put a stranglehold on the position.
No more lineup shuffling. No more platooning. No more days off. Just further consistency by a rookie who already has boasted it in spades.
"If you wake up every day and go, 'All right, I'm playing today,' it's comforting,'' Middlebrooks said before the Sox' 9-6 loss to the Blue Jays, in which he went 1 for 4 with a double. "It's definitely a confidence builder. It feels good.
"If we can come in here and have more of an idea of who's playing every day, it slows things down for everyone.''
In swapping Youkilis for utilityman Brent Lillibridge and pitcher Zach Stewart, the Red Sox displayed full confidence in Middlebrooks as their third baseman. That idea came to the fore as the 23-year-old emerged as one of the league's top rookies since being promoted May 2.
Middlebrooks, who said he had not spoken to Youkilis since the trade, entered the day leading all rookies with 34 RBIs, the most by an American League player in his first 41 games since Wally Joyner had 39 in 1986.
Middlebrooks was the first player to have at least a .331 average, 9 home runs, and 33 RBIs through 40 career games since Albert Pujols, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
"I think he's a work in progress, but I think the growing is going to be fun for us all to watch,'' manager Bobby Valentine said. "Not without pain though, I'm sure.''
On Sunday, Middlebrooks did something he had not done in the majors: He started at DH.
"I like the way he's handled the days when he didn't perform particularly well, as well as the days he has performed well and the days when he's sat out,'' Valentine said. "I liked the way he DH'd, the way there was a real calm approach in the dugout and at the plate for a guy who's never DH'd before.''
But with all the changes he endured, Middlebrooks never altered his approach.
"I do the same things day in and day out, whether I was playing or not, so nothing really changes,'' he said. "I put that on myself the whole time I've been here, to do well.
"Everything's going to be the same. I come in here with the same intent to get better every day and just help us win.''
Middlebrooks was named the American League Player of the Week after going 10 for 16 over six games with 3 doubles, 3 homers, and 10 RBIs, including a tying two-run homer in the eighth inning in Thursday's win over Miami.
"A lot of people do it one time,'' Valentine joked. "That's what they always say when someone hits a home run. But it's a nice honor, he had a great week.''
For Middlebrooks, the award was not even on his mind.
"I'm happy, I'm honored,'' he said. "But at the same time, it's one week. Hopefully I can keep it going.''

What does importNode have to do with this? Or do you refer to the operation that's "not importNode but acts like it"?

TENAKEE SPRINGS - This is a village where everyone knows one another - and one another's business. A lot of people knew part-time resident Maggie Wigen, but whoever killed the teenager last month and buried her body is a mystery.
With no one arrested as of Sunday and no suspect named by law enforcement agencies, it would be presumptuous to conclude Wigen, 19, was killed by someone she knew. But it does seem likely.
Wigen grew up primarily in Juneau, according to Sue Gullufson, a family friend. Since 1998, she had split her time between Juneau and Tenakee Springs, on Chichagof Island about 50 miles southwest of the capital.
Tenakee Springs has one general store, one school and one cafe, but no roads, cars or trucks. Its 100 residents use motorized carts to traverse the 10 miles of dirt trail running through the village.
One of Wigen's typical visits to the village could last for several months. She'd ferry back and forth between Juneau and Tenakee to see friends and to visit her mother, Karin Wigen, who works in the Information Office of the Legislature.
When in Juneau, she worked at Rainbow Foods. When in Tenakee Springs, she picked up odd jobs, often working with locals fixing up their boats. This time, she had been in the village since October, with the exception of a recent week's stay in Juneau before she disappeared in late March.
Tenakee residents said she lived alone in a green cabin at the top of a hill. She lived across the trail from "Tenakee Rosie" Floresca, her landlady. Since 1955, Floresca, 66, has run The Blue Moon Cafe, from which she keeps track of who's coming and going.
Floresca was one of the few people in Tenakee who knew Wigen. Floresca said Wigen was shy and kept to herself, but often came by to talk. Floresca said she kept an eye on the teenager, too.
"She would come in here (the cafe) and listen to me talk," Floresca said Friday as tears welled in her eyes. "She was such a good listener."
Floresca said she last saw Wigen on March 22, the same day the cafe owner hired a local man to work on the little concrete-block dam that slows the flow of a freshwater stream about 180 feet from Wigen's house. A hose running from the stream was the main source of water for Wigen's cottage.
"I didn't really have reason to worry, but I was worried about her," Floresca said. "I usually saw her walking with her dog, Sauk, on the trail, and by Monday (March 24) I hadn't seen her."
Floresca said she checked the work done on the dam and noticed a fresh pile of dirt at the dam's base, she said. She went on to Wigen's house. No one answered her knock on the door - but music was playing inside, she said. She said she went into the house and saw bedding piled in the hallway, "but no Maggie."
Floresca said she started asking people casually if they had seen her. No one had, but no one seemed overly concerned.
On March 25, Mayor Shelly Wilson noticed Sauk in her yard. She told her daughter, Becca, 16, to take the dog to Maggie's and tie him up outside. Floresca noticed - and worried because Wigen never went anywhere without her dog.
"They were companions," she said. "He was her baby. I asked him, 'where's your mama?'"
By Tuesday, March 26, there still was no sign of Wigen, Floresca said.
"I kept looking out my window up at Maggie's place," she said. "I saw someone had lowered the blinds in her kitchen, but I kept watching for her light. There was no light, no light, no light and no Maggie, no Maggie, but the dog had been brought inside."
She enlisted Rachel Israel, another village resident, to go into the house with her. The radio was playing but the pile of bedding was gone. The smell of cigarette smoke and corned beef hash hung in the air. Wigen didn't smoke and was a vegetarian, Israel said. Floresca noticed the attic ladder, which pulled from the ceiling and led to Wigen's bedroom, was only partially up.
In hindsight, the women said, Wigen's killer probably was in the bedroom as they looked for her downstairs.
Floresca and Israel went around town asking people if anyone had seen Wigen.
By March 27, the dog was back outside, howling. Floresca said she was in a panic and went to the house three times that day - the final time bringing her friend Judy McDonald along. She and McDonald searched the house with a flashlight. In Wigen's room, another pile of bedding was in the middle of the floor. Floresca said she poked it.
"I thought maybe she was sick and curled up in the blanket and maybe that's why she didn't answer us," Floresca said. "She wasn't there."
Floresca and McDonald went to homes and boats where they knew Wigen sometimes hung out. No one had seen her. Finally, people were starting to worry.
By March 28, Floresca made one last trek to the house. The music was off but the dog was inside, on Wigen's bed. His food and water dishes were empty.
"I knew she was gone," Floresca said of Wigen.
A search party took shape. Residents walked the trail, bringing their dogs, and went door-to door and boat-to boat. Mayor Wilson called the Alaska State Troopers, who organized a search beginning the next morning. Troopers brought in Sitka Search and Rescue and the Southeast Alaska Dogs Organized for Ground Search. But Wilson, who has been mayor since October, said it was the army of volunteers who scoured the 10 miles of the village, 18 miles of coastline and the Forest Service cabins beyond the city limits.
"You know we may not all like each other or even get along most of the time, but when a crisis happens, we're here for each other like family," Wilson said.
Israel said she had mixed emotions during the search.
"You know, you want to find her and you don't - you know what I mean - because you don't know yet what you're looking for," she said. "As time went on, we just knew. I mean, we still hoped, but it didn't look good. But we never stopped. We had to have a resolution. Even when the Troopers gave up on her that Sunday, we couldn't."
Troopers suspended their search on Sunday, March 30, and left Tenakee, even though the incident was being investigated as a possible homicide, said Trooper Spokesman Greg Wilkinson. He said they didn't have the time or the resources to leave a Trooper in Tenakee. Troopers said to call if anyone found anything, Wilson said.
Floresca had been telling everyone to check the little dam, mentioning something about "weird-looking dirt," Israel said. Even though search parties checked it with dogs and turned up nothing, Arnie Strong, the teacher at the Tenakee Springs School, checked it one more time, Israel said. Poking a mound of dirt, Strong ended the search for Maggie Wigen.
"He saw a foot," said Israel. "We all had places we just had to check. We all felt that. He said his was the dam, he said he had to check there one more time, and he was the one that found her. She was partially buried, wrapped in a blanket or rug or something, and tucked in next to the wall of the dam."
Strong declined comment on the incident.
In the wake of her death, residents speculate she was killed in her home. They don't want to know in what ways she may have been hurt before she died. They think she was strangled, most likely in her room, where no one could hear her.
"It's so unbelievable to me," Israel said. "She lived in the center of town. She wasn't out the road. She was right here, right next to us, and we never heard anything. We never suspected anything or heard cries for help. She was all alone and scared and we couldn't get to her. Maybe we could have helped her, but there was nothing."
Crime-scene investigators flew to Tenakee on April 2. Wigen's body was removed on April 3. As the Troopers carried her to the plane that waited to take her to Anchorage for an autopsy, scheduled today, some residents asked the "blue shirts" for a favor.
"We told them Maggie just loved long walks," said Bob Pegues, owner of the general store in town. "We asked if they might not take her for one more. So they put her in the plane and as they were pulling away, they pulled way far up on the beach and rode a little ways down past the town, they tipped their wings back and forth as a tribute and to say good-bye, and flew her away."

29 CFR 570.101 - Introductory statement.
(a) This subpart discusses the meaning and scope of the child labor provisions contained in the Fair Labor Standards Act, as amended (hereinafter referred to as the Act). These provisions seek to protect the safety, health, well-being, and opportunities for schooling of youthful workers and authorize the Secretary of Labor to issue legally binding orders or regulations in certain instances and under certain conditions. The child labor provisions are found in sections 3(1), 11(b), 12, 13 (c) and (d), 15(a)(4), 16(a), and 18 of the Act. They are administered and enforced by the Secretary of Labor who has delegated to the Wage and Hour Division the duty of making investigations to obtain compliance, and of developing standards for the issuance of regulations and orders relating to: (1) Hazardous occupations, (2) employment of 14- and 15-year-old children, and (3) age certificates.
(b) The interpretations of the Secretary contained in this subpart indicate the construction of the law which will guide him in performing his duties until he is directed otherwise by authoritative rulings of the courts or until he shall subsequently decide that his prior interpretation is incorrect.
