The average museum attendee spends a scant three to five seconds passively glancing at each work of art, an oft-cited statistic suggests. As spring nears, an annual benefit by Auxiliary of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco will invite attendees to lengthen and deepen that gaze as they view living interpretations of de Young pieces designed by local floral artists.
"It's a glorious week for the museum. It's completely bedecked with flowers," Barbara Traisman, co-chair of the Bouquets to Art festival, said.
The festival, which will enter its 27th year when it opens March 15, gives 150 featured floral designers creative leeway to interpret the de Young's permanent collection pieces by designing complementing blossom arrangements. The largest fundraiser for special exhibitions at the de Young Museum and the Legion of Honor in San Francisco, its displays draw thousands of attendees during the five-day event.
"It isn't judged and there's no prize: You do it because you love it," 10-year participant Constance Oakson of Los Altos Hills-based The Empire of Flora said.
The pairings range from literal duplications to reinterpretations to designs that draw emotive, tonal or structural inspiration from their partner, Traisman said, encouraging museum-wary attendees and seasoned art lovers alike to take a closer look.
"At Bouquets to Art, people stand in front of a given work, looking back and forth between the two. ... It encourages them to stop and regard the works in a much more thoughtful, expanded and intentioned way," she said.
Participants step outside of their comfort zones to design displays well-suited to the museum environment, designers and organizers say. Accustomed to designing short-lived, stand-alone displays, designers must avoid materials like untreated wood and fruits that could damage the delicate works that line museum galleries. They must also anticipate the extent to which their ephemeral arrangements hold up to the pressures of time and the heat of lighting and crowds.
"A lot of new floral designers don't know their materials well enough, and the next day, (blooms) will have to be replaced," Oakson said.
Her design this year is an interpretation of an earthenware pot in the American Indian section. The display will be housed within a pot reconstructed from potsherds, complementing the bulbous pieces within the gallery and encouraging museum-goers to look within to see an arrangement of succulents, leaves, red twig dogwood and orchids, hardier materials with staying power, she said.
The blooming interpretations at Bouquets to Art give floral designers a chance to share unconventional arrangement techniques, designers said, presenting peers and attendees from garden clubs the design equivalent of an inside joke.
"The floral designers are speaking to other floral designers in this event, using unusual techniques some might not pick up on," Oakson said.
Bouquets to Art designers often use cutting-edge techniques to interpret de Young pieces. In 2009, Kris Forbes and Andi Mallinckrot, a Woodside-based design team known as Pomegranate, used a novel design strategy to complement the bust of an African woman with a glass necklace. Using floral materials to interpret the woman's head, they wove rafia, flower buds and flax onto flexible forms to create a necklace.
"We were able to use a new technique from the American Institute of Floral Designers symposium we had attended last summer. It's difficult to find a commercial customer for this kind of thing," Forbes said.
Some designers sketch out their displays in the month before the event and others ultimately depend on the flower stock available at wholesale flower warehouses such as San Francisco Flower Mart, which is crowded with designers at 7 a.m. the day of installation. Design often takes place on the museum floor, as transporting a large installation could destroy it.
"I don't fully know what (the finished arrangement) will look like until I actually buy what I'm going to use," participant Donna Higgins from Los Altos-based Design and Interiors said. Even a slight curve of a fresh-cut branch, she added, should change the form of a finished arrangement.
Designers scrutinize their assigned pieces for design inspiration. Higgins, who has participated in Bouquets to Art since its inception, aims to design "open, loose and unconfined" traditional arrangements that play off her assigned painting's colors and textures. To complement this year's assigned painting that depicts a peach-toned nude outdoors, she predicted a display showcasing silvery greens, such as eucalyptus, and peach-toned roses. Tulips, finicky flowers prone to unexpected growth, may be part of her installation.
"I've had them grow 6 inches before," Higgins said.
But the challenges of designing and maintaining complements to permanent installations are outweighed by the displays' ability to attract and inspire art lovers, participants said.
One docent came up to Higgins' interpretation last year of a floral still life, she said, and told her, "I like the flowers better than the painting!"

NORWELL — Kevin Riley loves to cook. Trouble is, the kitchen at home is the domain of his wife, Valerie.
"I lived alone for a while and cooked for myself, and I was the last of nine kids, so I know what I'm doing," the Quincy resident said while chopping vegetables during a recent couples' cooking class at The Good Life Kitchen in Norwell. "But Val won't let me in the kitchen."
For the record: Under the tutelage of Good Life's owner, chef Bernard Kinsella, and the able assistance of Valerie, Riley did a tremendous job creating the dessert of the night, pears poached in red wine.
In fact, we all cooked up a storm, and had a blast to boot, which is the bottom line when picking up a knife and preparing a meal, Kinsella said.
"People get together in these classes, they cook together, laugh, and have a good time," said Kinsella, who ran two schools in Atlanta before opening his Norwell operation. "It's just fun."
With the proliferation of food shows on television, interest in home cooking has blossomed, Kinsella and others chefs said.
"People are looking at these shows, talking about them, and then want to do it," he said. "Food is big, we should eat three times a day, and a lot of what I do is healthy cooking."
As many men as women are taking courses these days, according to Pamela Beaudet, who runs Cooking With Pamela classes from her Walpole home. Beaudet recalled watching cooking shows as a kid, stirring pots on the stove, and pretending she was on TV.
"I find with a lot of my friends, the men are cooking more. Men seem to be more fearless in the kitchen, not afraid to throw stuff together and see what happens," said Beaudet, who is also a life coach.
Many instructional chefs are teaching healthier food preparation, she said, a necessity in a nation plagued by obesity.
"I don't want to get preachy, but we're getting to the point of relying on fast food and frozen food too much," Beaudet said. "And it's showing on our children and our waistlines."
She's big on meals that "fit on the plate," and showing people "how to make homemade tomato sauce that the kids won't find yucky."
A popular request is beef bourguignon, which Beaudet said "people may find intimidating, but it's so easy and so good, and you can get several meals out of it. Or tacos, using your own spices and ingredients, rather than opening a ready-made package full of preservatives."
In one of Kinsella's recent classes — held in a brand-new, wide-open kitchen with two commercial gas stoves, an induction oven, and all manner of wonderfully sharp chef's knives — four couples took part. Three came as a group, and the fourth happened to know the others. They were greeted by Kinsella with an assortment of cheese, crackers, hummus, and wine, and as the night progressed, all engaged in cooking vegetable and mushroom risotto, a soy-and-honey glazed salmon dish, and that earthy, wine-poached pear dessert.
We did it under the guidance of the affable and animated Kinsella, who punctuated his lessons with the occasional "Boom!" much the way celebrity chef Emeril Lagasse uses "Bam!" only at a much lower volume.
"That's it, just like that, boom!" Kinsella would say as a student sliced reconstituted shiitake mushrooms.
"I try to cook every night, I don't like taking stuff out of the freezer," said Kelly Scola of Quincy, who gave the class to her husband, Tony, as a birthday present. "He loves to cook, both our kids love to cook, and I really think my 11-year-old is going to be a chef someday."
"I started them young," said Tony Scola, an investment manager. "They'd help in the kitchen when they were 3 or 4, and we'd do the food shopping together."
Greg Keefe of Quincy, who took the class with his friend Donnalee Guerin, admitted: "I don't cook; I just come home from work. But I came tonight to be with friends and maybe learn something."
Guerin loves to cook and said taking a class like this helps her learn more, and as a bonus, "It's much better than going out to dinner."
Cooking classes in the area run the gamut from healthy cooking to baking to nights for couples or singles. Kinsella's offerings include cooking with local foods, or making risotto, candy, or soups.
Also popular are courses at places like Whitman-Hanson Regional High School, through the Whitman-Hanson Community Education Main Street Extension, said Cheryl Wyndham, who heads a program that runs in the fall and spring. The program offers about 65 courses, and the 2013 choices will be listed online early next year, she said.
"Our instructors are people with a passion for cooking, and we target an audience of about 30 to 55 years old," she said.
The facility uses the full kitchen at the high school, and the program "is thriving. Those shows on TV have really kick-started these programs."
In Mattapoisett, Colby Rottler recently opened Commanding Cuisine, which is run through the town's Recreation Department. Looking for something to do after retiring from the Federal Reserve Bank, he graduated in 2001 as a certified chef from the Johnson & Wales University culinary program.
"I have mothers and daughters, grandchildren, men, you name it," Rottler said of his classes. "My grandchildren come and help me. I keep my recipes simple. You're not going to go crazy trying to make them."
Rottler also donates his culinary talents to veterans groups and others who auction off his services to raise money.
The biggest benefit of cooking classes, Kinsella said, is bringing people together and creating the communal sense of doing a necessary task together.
"I think it's a way to bring family closer together. We've gotten away from family meal times, I think," he said.
"When I teach, we're all there in the kitchen, we're relaxed, the way it should be with cooking," he said. "You all participate, whether someone cooks or sets the table or cleans up. It's time we're spending together."
And creating some mouth-watering dishes doesn't hurt. At the end of our class, we all sat down to gorge ourselves on what we had created, drink wine, and talk. Not much was left over, least of all Riley's poached pear dessert, mounded with mascarpone, light cream, lemon zest, powdered sugar, and raspberries.
"Maybe now," Riley said, "my wife will let me in the kitchen more."Paul E. Kandarian can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com

This week, we've taken a look at Mario Kart 7's online multiplayer and community pages, so for my last launch-week video, I wanted to take a quick tour through the 16 new tracks that Nintendo has created for the game. They run the gamut from simple racetracks to elaborate, multi-level roller-coasters, and a couple already rank among my favourite Kart tracks.
In addition to the 16 new tracks in the video, the game comes with 16 classic tracks, which have been updated with 3D graphics and some cool hang-gliding and underwater bits. Those classics include:
- Luigi Raceway (N64
- Bowser Castle 2 (GBA)
- Mushroom Gorge (Wii)
- Luigi's Mansion (DS)
- Koopa Beach (N64)
- Mario Circuit 2 (SNES)
- Coconut Mall (Wii)
- Waluigi Pinball (DS)
- Kalamari Desert (N64)
- DK Pass (DS)
- Daisy Cruiser (GCN)
- Maple Treeway (Wii)
- Koopa Cape (Wii)
- Dino Dino Jungle (GCN)
- Airship Fortress (DS)
- Rainbow Road (SNES)
There are also six arenas for the Balloon Battles and Coin Runners modes, three of which are new and three of which are reused.
- Battle Course 1 (GBA)
- Big doughnut (N64)
- Palm Shore (DS)
- Honeybee Hive (New)
- Sherbet Rink (New)
- Wuhu Town (New)
It's a good selection overall, and while a couple of the new race tracks aren't that interesting, the majority are great, and a few feel like instant classics.

Revision as of 08:30, 15 August 2012
These instructions outline how to contribute to the aggregation build for the common repository.
These instructions were substantially changed in August of 2012, to accommodate migration to new source repository, and at the same time a rename of the main project needed from that repository. The instructions and process for Juno (SR1 and SR2) are very similar to those for Kepler (SR0, in June 2013) except for the branch to use to for modifications/updates; Juno_maintenance for the former, master for the latter. For history of migration and change of project names, see bug 359240.
If at anytime, there are questions, issues or problems, don't hesitate to ask on cross-project list, or open a cross-project bug.
Get the simrel.build project
If you don't have it already, you'll need to install Eclipse EGit, from common repository or their own repository at
Clone the repository named
org.eclipse.simrel.build.git and import the project of similar name,
org.eclipse.simrel.build. There is only the one project in that repository. An appropriate URL would be similar to
Make sure that your remote branch specifies rebase=true. ex:
branch.master.remote=origin branch.master.merge=refs/heads/master branch.master.rebase=true
You can set this up as the default for cloning/tracking remote branches by adding the user setting:
Or, for casual browsing, see org.eclipse.simrel.build.git (browse, stats, fork on OrionHub)
If you do not have write access to this repository location, then open a bugzilla entry or send an email to the webmaster, explaining which project you are working with, and CC the Planning Council chairperson (currently email@example.com).
Note: To control "inactive committers", once per year, usually around SR1, anyone who has not committed anything to the "build" project (governed by callisto-dev Linux group) will simply be removed from that group. So, if you need write access again (after not needing it for a year) simply re-request to be added, again stating which project you are committing changes for. [Reminder: there is at least one id, 'genie', that is a member of callisto-dev that should not be removed, even though it will show no "commits", as it is required to be there for signing purposes. See bug 362436 for problems that result from removing it.]
The 'master' branch of that repo is used for the most forward looking release (namely Kepler, as of this writing) and maintenance for SR1 and SR2 will be named following the pattern of '<Release>_maintenance' (so, Juno_maintenance for Juno SR1 and Juno SR2).
Install the b3 Aggregator
- Use the 0.2.x version of the b3 aggregator Editor, running on Eclipse 3.7.2 (Indigo SR2) or 4.2 (Juno), installed from b3's "3.7 repo", at following URL:
- Follow instructions to install the b3 Aggregator editor (and get the above mentioned project in your workspace). Tip: you may prefer to have a separate workspace for this aggregation work, as it works with many p2 repositories and can add a lot of background processing as it works with all those repositories.
- Open the file
simrel.b3aggrusing the Aggregator Model Editor
- Tip: Having the model "loaded" and allowing it to update itself (staying current and caching the latest contents of referenced repos) and syncing up (pulling) the simrel.build project on a regular basis, can often help you spot errors or inconsistencies with your own contributions, and allow fixes to be made before you commit and push your changes to the repository and risk breaking the build.
For new project contributions
- Create the following elements (New Child) under top Aggregation: node or Validation set:.
- One or more Contacts (show Property View to specify both Email and Name). [It must be a real email, not dev list].
- A Contribution (specify Label and link to Contact)
- A Mapped Repository (specify Location: URL of your p2 repository)
- Your Features (select name from features found in your repository, select Categories from pre-defined set, specify exact version to be included in aggregation under Version Range)
- A Mapped Repository (specify Location: URL of your p2 repository)
- To create your b3aggrcon file, select your specific Contribution and invoke Detach Resource from the context menu. Choose a filename like
projectname.b3aggrcon(renaming this file at a later stage is not supported). For ease of bookkeeping, it is advisable to use the exact name of your project as it appears in the Eclipse Foundation databases, including top level and subproject names, as appropriate, for example,
emf-validation.b3aggrconis preferable to
webtools.b3aggrconpreferable to
- Verify. Be sure to "pull" to be sure you have current contents of every thing (with no conflicts). To ensure that your contribution will not break the build, right-click on top-most Aggregation: node and
- Validate checks the general XML and EMF Model validity (short running), then
- Validate Aggregation checks the whole model specifies correct and valid repo locations and compatibility dependencies (long running).
- Commit and Push. At this point, you are ready to commit and push your contribution. You will need to check in changes to the
simrel.b3aggrfile, as well as your
Updating contributions
- To change things like Contributors or Categories, or adding or removing features, you should use the b3 Aggregator with the top level
simrel.b3aggrfile ... as these things often have relationships that span multiple files and you need to update, synchronize and checkin all effected files. Note: the Categories are normally only added or edited by Planning Council, so be sure large changes there have been discussed via bugzilla, etc. (You can do this via a bugzilla entry in cross-project category).
- To change values of feature versions, or repository URLs, you can directly change your
projectname.b3aggrconfile with text editor (or build scripts) and check those in, in isolation. Of course, you can and should still use the b3 aggregator editor, and it is often desirable to do so, as it will do a "validate aggregation" and will tell you if something is wrong. For example, if there is a typo, and the repository URL does not point to a valid repository, you'll know about it right away, if you use the b3 Aggregator Editor.
- Note that contributions, features, and repositories can be enabled or disabled, via property page. This allows temporary changes with minimal disruption. For example, if you disable a contribution or feature, it will be left out of a category, without having to also edit the category). This is especially useful if there is a leaf component that is "broken" and should temporarily be omitted from the build. Important: One implication of this is you will need to sometimes re-enable your contribution or feature, even if you did not disable it. These are sometimes disabled by others -- without notice -- especially if a contribution or feature is causing build breaks for an extended period of time especially if there's been no communication explaining it or describing status or outlook on cross-project list. Of course, fixing the issue is the desired first choice, as disabling one contribution or feature will often require other contributions or features to be disabled simply because they depend on the broken one.
The overall categories used in the common repository are the responsibility of the Planning Council (in that they have the final say about any new ones, removals, etc.). So ... please open a cross-project bug if you'd like to propose new categories or some reorganization. But otherwise, feel free to add or remove your features to what ever categories you think are appropriate (using the full aggregator editor, since two files are changed when doing so) and others will open bugs if something seems wrong, or in the wrong category.
Runtime Target Platform Category
Some features (or bundles) are not intended to be installed into an IDE ... they do not contribute to the IDE (such as menu items, etc.). By convention, such features should be placed in the "EclipseRt Target Platform Category". This would be the case for, say, a "server" that someone was coding and testing for. In some cases, a runtime feature might "cause harm" (or, change behavior) if a user mistakenly installed it into their IDE. To prevent a feature (or bundle) from being installed into an IDE, the current "process" is for that feature or bundle to specify a negative requirement on a "magic IU". This is usually done in a p2.inf file, with contents of
# this bundle should not be installed into IDE requires.0.namespace = A.PDE.Target.Platform requires.0.name = Cannot be installed into the IDE requires.0.range = 0.0.0
The details of the "magic" solution may change in Juno, as a cleaner solution is being discussed in bug 365004 ... it would be a similar "negative requirement" but just may be on a different (non magic) IU.

Bangor Bus Passenger Charged with Breaking Into Terminal After Passengers Left Stranded
A Concord Trailways bus passenger in Bangor is facing charges after allegedly breaking into the back of the closed bus station. Police say the crime happened on Christmas Day, when passengers were dropped off at the station for a layover, with the expectation of being able to wait inside the building.
Bangor Police Lieutenant Paul Edwards said in a press release today that police were called to the Union Street station to the report of several passengers that were left stranded. Officer Dan Sanborn responded at about 11am to find several people in and outside the bus station. Witnesses told the officer that the bus driver dropped everyone off and left. When the passengers tried to get in, they found the door locked and no one inside. This left all of them standing outside in frigid temperatures.
Officer Sanborn said when he walked into the bus terminal he felt a cold draft from the back of the building and found that the back door was broken from the outside. He watched surveillance video with the manager, who was called to the building, and observed a man break in through the back door, rummage through cabinets and remove a hammer, long before anyone else was let into the building.
As a result, Dale Quereux, 42, of Plainville, Connecticut is charged with Class C Felony Burglary and Misdemeanor Criminal Mischief and Theft. At last report, he remains at Penobscot County Jail.

March 17, 2007
HOUSTON, Texas - Senior Craig Edwards and Freshman Rastislav Racz each earned All-America status in their individual events on Friday evening, while the 200-yard medley relay team achieved the same feat to help propel the Engineers up to 10th-place out of 50 scoring schools after day two of the NCAA Championships. Edwards finished fourth in the 100-yard backstroke and Racz placed sixth in the 100-yard breaststroke, while the two combined with freshmen Jeff Zhou and Luke Cummings for the medley relay.
Kenyon College jumped out to a huge lead in its quest for an unprecedented 28th consecutive national championship and will take 373.5 points into the final day of competition. Second-place Denison University has racked up 245 points, while Emory University (201) rounds out the top three. MIT has amassed 80 points over the first two days in Houston.
Friday morning's events got underway with the prelims of the 200-yard medley relay, and the squad representing the Cardinal and Gray did not disappoint. Edwards, Racz, Zhou and Cummings entered the event with a national-ranking of sixth and a seed time of 1:33.42 and made that ranking stand up with a sixth-place finish in prelims. They then matched that result in the finals with a time of 1:33.46 to earn 26 points and All-America status.
Freshman phenom Racz then earned his first individual All-America recognition by finishing sixth in the 100-yard breaststroke with an Institute record time of 56.37, raising the Engineers' score by 13 points in the process. The native of Bratislava, Slovakia, had entered the event ranked 10th in the country with a seed time of 57.15 and set himself up for the finals with a fifth-place finish in prelims.
The 100-yard backstroke closed out the day for MIT, and Edwards gave the Cardinal and Gray its best finish of the afternoon with a fourth-place showing, good enough for 15 points. Entering the event ranked eighth with a seed time of 51.42, the native of Brookfield, Conn., pushed his prelim time to 51.10 to earn sixth-place and a spot in the championship finals. He then did himself one better, finishing fourth in the finals with a time of 51.42 to earn All-America honors in the backstroke for the fifth time in his illustrious career.
Head coach Dawn Gerken, though clearly elated with the performances of all of her athletes, was more impressed with the leadership shown by Edwards, who is competing in his third national championships.
"This whole weekend he has just been such a leader," she said. "He's a seasoned veteran at the national level and he's really shown that over the past couple of days, as he's stepped up and raised his game when it's mattered most. More importantly, he's been a role model for the three freshmen that are here with him. I can't say enough about how important his presence has been."
Zhou also competed in an individual event on Friday afternoon, finishing 28th in the 100-yard butterfly with a time of 51.80.
The Engineers will close out the competition today, hoping to improve upon the 10th-place finish that they achieved in 2005. That result equaled the best team-finish at the NCAA Championships since 1984, while the highest that MIT has ever finished at nationals is seventh, in 1982. However, the task will be a bit harder than previously believed, as the 400-yard free relay team will no longer be competing. As a result, Tech's only remaining competitors are Edwards, in the 200-yard backstroke, and Racz, in the 200-yard breaststroke.

Processes are the heart of an HTML DB application when it comes to making the application more than just another HTML application. The primary purpose of processes is to interact with the database, but other types of processes are also available to the developer. Most of the time processes are defined at the page level, but you can also define application-level processes. Processes defined at the application level will be evaluated for every page of the application unless limited by their Condition section.
Like computations, processes can be defined to be evaluated either during the page rendering or during the page processing. Those done during page rendering are usually used to retrieve data from the database and populate items on the page. Those done during processing are often used to save the user-entered information into the database. If we look back at a form page we created using wizards, such as the one to edit CONTACTS, we see three processes—one to fetch a row from CONTACTS, one to process a row of CONTACTS, and one to reset the page. The first two are Data Manipulation type processes, whereas the last is a Session State type process.
Processes can both reference and set the values of any page-level or application-level item for the current application. The items will be referenced in different ways, depending on the type of processes you are defining. You will use one of the substitution variable syntaxes discussed in Chapter 6, but most often you will use the bind variable syntax (:P8_MY_ITEM), or in PL/SQL you might use the v() or nv() function.
{mospagebreak title=Creating Processes}
Processes, like almost anything else in HTML DB, are created with a wizard. The wizard for page-level processes is started either from the Add icon in one of the two Processes sections on the Page Definition page or through the Create link on the Developer's Toolbar (selecting the Page Control on This Page option and then the Process option). In the first step of the Create Page Process Wizard, you must select from one of the eight different types of processes available (see Figure 13-1).
The wizard for application-level processes is started with the Create button from the Application Processes section of an application's shared components. With application-level processes, you will not have to select a process type because the only type you are allowed to create as an application-level process is a PL/SQL type process. The eight different types of processes are
Figure 13-1. Process types in the Create Page Process Wizard
briefly described in the following table. The remaining steps in the process-creation wizard vary depending on the process type you select.
|Process Type
|This is a generic PL/SQL anonymous block of code, which could be as complicated as you would like to make it or could simply call a program unit that is stored in the database (for instance, a general API that is always used for access to a particular table).
|Reset Pagination
|This process type is used to reset the pagination of a report back to the beginning of the result set. This way, the next time the report is displayed, the items displayed will be the first part of the result set.
|On Demand
|The purpose of a page-level On Demand type process is to execute an application-level process that has been defined to have a processing point of On Demand. This way, a single process can be called from several different locations throughout the application. Use this process type if you have a generic process that must be executed at multiple locations in your application.
|Session State
|This process type is used to null out the values of existing session state items. It can be used to clear the cache for all workspace applications, for a selected workspace application, for the current session, for certain pages, or for particular items. This process type is also used to set the value of a user preference.
|Data Manipulation
|This process type is used for an automatic Data Manipulation Language (DML) process. The processes created by the wizards to do multirow or single-row form fetches, saves, updates, and deletes are of this type. Typically when you use this type of process, it will be created for you by a wizard.
|Web Services
|This process type is used to implement a web service. When this process is run, it submits a request to the web service provider.
|Form Pagination
|This process type is used with a master detail page. It is used to determine the next and previous master records and to display the master record positional count (for example, "3 of 4").
|Close Popup Window
|This process type is used to close a pop-up window and refresh the calling window. This process type is new to version 2.0—so new that as of the time of publishing this book, Oracle had not been able to provide instructions on how it refreshes the calling page.
The path of the wizard will vary depending on the type of process you choose to create. A number of fields will be entered for most processes. In the Name field, you provide a descriptive name of the process to give other developers an idea of what the process does. The value you enter in the Sequence field is used to determine the order in which processes will be evaluated within the same process point. The Point field is used to specify a point in page rendering or page processing at which the process will be evaluated. Here are the possible points:
- On New Instance – After Authentication
- On Load – Before Header
- On Load – After Header
- On Load – Before Regions
- On Load – After Regions
- On Load – Before Footer
- On Load – After Footer
- On Submit – Before Computations and Validations
- On Submit – After Computations and Validations
In almost all the paths through the Create Page Process Wizard, after you select the type of process you want to create, as shown earlier in Figure 13-1, you will be presented with the process's Type field. The value of this field will be the type you selected. In most cases, you won't want to change its value. However, when you select to create a PL/SQL type process, this field will default to the value "PL/SQL anonymous block." You may wish to change the Type field to "PL/SQL DBMS JOB (runs anonymous block asynchronously)." This allows you to run the process in the background. This is ideal for long-running processes where the user does not need immediate feedback from the process.
The values entered into the Success Message field will be displayed if the process is evaluated successfully and the following page has the #SUCCESS_MESSAGE# substitution variable used in the page template. The value entered into the Failure Message field will be displayed if the process fails. You can make a process conditional by selecting a button for the When Button Pressed field and/or by selecting a condition type and specifying values for Expression 1 and Expression 2.
{mospagebreak title=PL/SQL}
PL/SQL processes offer you the most flexibility in what you can do with them—from a simple DML on a single table, to DML on multiple tables, to the most complex business logic. Aside from the common fields discussed previously, you will also have to enter an anonymous block of PL/SQL. One example might be to insert a row into a table with data collected in a wizard. As noted, you can create a normal PL/SQL process or one that runs in the background. Refer to Appendix A for details on the HTMLDB_PLSQL_JOB package.
The CONTACTS table we have been working with contains almost 30 columns, so it would be a good candidate for a wizard. Use the Create Page | Wizard option to create a wizard with four or five pages. Divide up the fields over three or four pages, leaving the last page for a confirmation page. On the final confirmation page you would have a Finish button. Also, you could display all the data collected so far in a Display Only on Existing Items type region. You then create a PL/SQL process that's conditional on the Finish button being clicked and inserts a record into the CONTACTS table. The PL/SQL for the process would look something like this:
insert into contacts (contact_id, firstname, lastname, dear, …
companyname, workphone, workextension, … )
values (:p20_contact_id, :p20_firstname, :p20_lastname, …
:p23_companyname, :p23_workphone, :p23workextension, … );
Another useful purpose for a PL/SQL process would be to process the contents of a custom multirow edit form. The wizards in HTML DB make implementing a multirow edit form very easy if it is for a single table. If you have the need to create a multirow edit form based on a complex query, you can create and process the form using two built-in packages: HTMLDB_ITEM and HTMLDB_APPLICATION. The form is constructed by creating a SQL Query–based report and using the HTMLDB_ITEM package in the query to generate the items. To illustrate the concept, the following is a simple query based on the EMP table:
SELECT empno,
HTMLDB_ITEM.TEXT(2,ename,10,10) ename,
HTMLDB_ITEM.TEXT(3,job,9,9) position,
HTMLDB_ITEM.SELECT_LIST_FROM_LOV(9,mgr,'managers',null, 'NO') mgr,
HTMLDB_ITEM.DATE_POPUP(4,rownum,hiredate,'Month dd, yyyy') hd,
HTMLDB_ITEM.TEXT(5,sal,12) sal,
HTMLDB_ITEM.TEXT(6,comm,12) comm,
HTMLDB_ITEM.SELECT_LIST_FROM_LOV(7,deptno,'department',null, 'NO')
HTMLDB_ITEM.CHECKBOX(8,empno,decode(temp,'Y','CHECKED',null)) temp
FROM emp
A report created with the previous query produces a report like the one shown here:
To process the changes to this multirow edit form, you use a PL/SQL process like the following. The values of the items in a multirow edit form are passed in arrays that are available to the developer using the HTMLDB_APPLICATION package. Note the special treatment of the check box (item 8). The arrays for check box items only contain entries for those check boxes that are checked.
is_temp char(1);
for i in 1..htmldb_application.g_f01.count loop
is_temp := 'N';
for x in 1..htmldb_application.g_f08.count loop
if htmldb_application.g_f01(i) = htmldb_application.g_f08(x)then
is_temp := 'Y';
end if;
end loop;
update emp
set ename = htmldb_application.g_f02(i),
job = htmldb_application.g_f03(i),
hiredate = to_date(htmldb_application.g_f04(i),'Month dd,
sal = htmldb_application.g_f05(i),
comm = htmldb_application.g_f06(i),
deptno = htmldb_application.g_f07(i),
temp = is_temp,
mgr = htmldb_application.g_f09(i)
where empno = htmldb_application.g_f01(i);
end loop;
The HTMLDB_ITEM and HTMLDB_APPLICATION packages are introduced in Appendix B and are covered in great detail in the HTML DB User's Guide. Note that the first parameter passed into the various HTMLDB_ITEM functions is a sequence number. This sequence number corresponds to the g_fXX functions in the HTMLDB_APPLICATION application that reference the arrays of data passed from the items.
These are just a couple examples of how a PL/SQL type process can be used. Its limitations lie only in your PL/SQL coding skills.
{mospagebreak title=Reset Pagination}
The Reset Pagination process does one and only one thing—it resets the pagination for the current page. After selecting the Reset Pagination type option in the Create Page Process Wizard, the only information you must provide is a name, sequence, processing point, and any conditions.
On Demand
On Demand processes allow you to write a single process that can be evaluated on multiple pages at different points. There are two parts to On Demand processes: the definition of an application-level On Demand process and page-level definitions of On Demand processes that call the application-level process. Like all application-level processes, an On Demand process is a PL/SQL type process.
If you have a process that needs to be evaluated at the same evaluation point on multiple pages, create an application-level process and limit its evaluation to the appropriate pages with the process's Condition section. However, if you need the same process to be evaluated by multiple pages at different points, you will want to create an application-level On Demand process and page-level On Demand processes on the appropriate pages for evaluation at the appropriate points.
Session State
Session State processes allow you to clear out the session state. Normally this type of process is used to clear out the cached values for the current session of the current user. You can clear out individual items by listing those items. You can clear out all items on individual pages by listing the pages, or you can clear out everything for the current session of the current user.
In addition to clearing items for the current session, this type process can also deal with the current user's preferences. Remember, preferences are values stored per user, so the next time the user returns, in a different session, the values are still available. With a Session State process, you can clear all the preferences for the current user or you can set the value of a certain preference based on the value of an item.
Finally, Session State processes can be used for managing sessions within the workspace. This is part of the administrative portion of an application. Remember, session states are stored in the database, and they don't go away until they are removed either through the Workspace Administration section available in the HTML DB development environment or through the HTML DB Administrator interface. The options available for this purpose are Remove All Session State for the Current Application and Remove All Session State for a List of Applications Within the Workspace.
Please check back next week for the conclusion to this article.

It was quite a busy gaming weekend. In WoW, I actually did a bunch of dailies each day of the weekend. I had been going very slowly on them, but decided I should do them just to get the out of the way.
On Sunday I was in uber quest mode apparently. I did Tillers, Anglers, and Golden Lotus dailies. Then for good measure, I went and polished off the Dreadwastes for the most part (I left one quest up with no rep gains).
Our little group is also moving on up. I gained a level on my Paladin and almost a level on my Priest. My wife got ger Paladin to 90. Fettsbounty got his Monk to level 90. Kev and Jody got their Paladins to 90 (I think Kev did, may have been 89). Now we just need to get our group together and do some Heroics and such.
I am looking forward to revered with the Klaxxis so that I can grab those sweet ass tanking pants.
In Diablo news, I got my Demon Hunter to level 60 and have been trying out a new spec on my Barbarian.
My Demon Hunter had about 4 levels to go to 60, so I decided to grind them out. I hit level 60 somewhere in Act 3 of Hell. I ran MP10 through act 1 and dropped it down to MP5 for act 3 and 4. Once I hit 60, I went to the AH for some upgrades. I got legendary two handed crossbow and a Dead Man's hand as well as several other pieces. I have about 69k dps on my DH now, which is ok, but not spectacular for a Demon Hunter.
On my Barbarian, I decided to try out a two handed rend build. I grabbed a Skorn for about 1.5 million and went to work. My paper DPS is up to 114k with my Battle Rage up (which is always up). The build is not nearly as mobile as the double tornado build, but if you crit with Rend, you can literally watch the monster health melt away. The one bad thing is that if leap is on cooldown, you do not have a good escape ability. I have gotten better at using this spec and die less than I did at the beginning.
During my travels, I also picked up two legendary items and a set piece. It is nice to see that kind of stuff drop. It really gives you incentive to keep plugging away other than just grinding out paragon levels.

HARTSVILLE, SC – Coker earned its first win of the season 78-71 over visiting Morris College Monday night in men's collegiate basketball. CC improves to 1-2 on the year while the Hornets fall to 1-5 overall.
The Cobras struck early with a three-point attack by junior Jason Fulwood/Cumming, GA to grab a 14 point advantage. In a 2:17 span Fulwood hit a trio of three-balls to help stretch Coker's lead from 6-2 to 17-3. CC maintained their double-digit lead over the remainder of the half for a 35-23 lead at the break and allowed the Hornets to cut the margin to eight only once during that span.
The second period had more of an up-and-down pace which resulted in 15 turnovers for both teams. Coker's lead hovered around 10 points for the first half of the second period but Morris rode a hot-streak by Joseph Hayward to make it a ball game again. Hayward scored seven in just over two and a half minutes and some reckless play by the Cobras cut the lead to 56-49 with seven minutes on the clock.
A dunk by Hayward brought the Hornets to within nine again with 5:23 to play but the sophomore was adjudged to have held onto the rim too long and given a technical foul. Senior Ryan Queen/Philadelphia, PA knocked down both free throws and the Cobras quelled the rally.
Coker pushed the lead back to 18 points, its largest of the game, with 1:29 to play but MC shaved it back down to seven with six seconds remaining on a three-pointer by Antron Franklin.
Johnny Jackson/Hartsville, SC led the way with 12 points in 14 minutes and Fulwood tallied 11 points for the Cobras. Senior Jay Farrow/Sanford, NC collected nine points and five boards and classmate Michael Pierce/Whiteville, NC stuffed the box score with eight points, six rebounds, four assists, two steals and a block.
Franklin led the Hornets with 18 points and four assists and Hayward scored all 14 of his points in the second period. Jason Jones added nine points and Raymond Parks scored eight.
The matchup featured 28 turnovers by Coker and 26 by Morris. CC held a slight 34-32 advantage on the boards and connected on 78 percent from the foul line while the Hornets hit only 58 percent of their attempts.
Coker will next host CVAC rival Anderson College this Saturday, December 4, at 4:00 PM.

Extended breastfeeding and the benefits
You hear of the benefits of breastfeeding. You've read it in books. You know that breastfeeding a baby until the first birthday is very beneficial, but do you know much about the benefits of extended breastfeeding?
Here are just some of the facts occuring with extended breastfeeding.
Although there has been little research done on children who breastfeed beyond the age of two, the available information indicates that breastfeeding continues to be a valuable source of nutrition and disease protection for as long as breastfeeding continues.
"Human milk expressed by mothers who have been lactating for >1 year has significantly increased fat and energy contents, compared with milk expressed by women who have been lactating for shorter periods. During prolonged lactation, the fat energy contribution of breast milk to the infant diet might be significant."
-- Mandel 2005
"Breast milk continues to provide substantial amounts of key nutrients well beyond the first year of life, especially protein, fat, and most vitamins."
-- Dewey 2001
In the second year (12-23 months), 448 mL of breastmilk provides:
29% of energy requirements
43% of protein requirements
36% of calcium requirements
75% of vitamin A requirements
76% of folate requirements
94% of vitamin B12 requirements
60% of vitamin C requirements
-- Dewey 2001
Studies done in rural Bangladesh have shown that breastmilk continues to be an important source of vitamin A in the second and third year of life.
-- Persson 1998
It's not uncommon for weaning to be recommended for toddlers who are eating few solids. However, this recommendation is not supported by research. According to Sally Kneidel in "Nursing Beyond One Year" (New Beginnings, Vol. 6 No. 4, July-August 1990, pp. 99-103.):
Some doctors may feel that nursing will interfere with a child's appetite for other foods. Yet there has been no documentation that nursing children are more likely than weaned children to refuse supplementary foods. In fact, most researchers in Third World countries, where a malnourished toddler's appetite may be of critical importance, recommend continued nursing for even the severely malnourished (Briend et al, 1988; Rhode, 1988; Shattock and Stephens, 1975; Whitehead, 1985). Most suggest helping the malnourished older nursing child not by weaning but by supplementing the mother's diet to improve the nutritional quality of her milk (Ahn and MacLean. 1980; Jelliffe and Jelliffe, 1978) and by offering the child more varied and more palatable foods to improve his or her appetite (Rohde, 1988; Tangermann, 1988; Underwood, 1985).
Nursing toddlers are SICK LESS OFTEN
The American Academy of Family Physicians notes that children weaned before two years of age are at increased risk of illness (AAFP 2001).
Nursing toddlers between the ages of 16 and 30 months have been found to have fewer illnesses and illnesses of shorter duration than their non-nursing peers (Gulick 1986).
"Antibodies are abundant in human milk throughout lactation" (Nutrition During Lactation 1991; p. 134). In fact, some of the immune factors in breastmilk increase in concentration during the second year and also during the weaning process. (Goldman 1983, Goldman & Goldblum 1983, Institute of Medicine 1991).
Per the World Health Organization, "a modest increase in breastfeeding rates could prevent up to 10% of all deaths of children under five: Breastfeeding plays an essential and sometimes underestimated role in the treatment and prevention of childhood illness." [emphasis added]
Nursing toddlers have FEWER ALLERGIES
Many studies have shown that one of the best ways to prevent allergies and asthma is to breastfeed exclusively for at least 6 months and continue breastfeeding long-term after that point.
Breastfeeding can be helpful for preventing allergy by:
reducing exposure to potential allergens (the later baby is exposed, the less likely that there will be an allergic reaction),
speeding maturation of the protective intestinal barrier in baby's gut,
coating the gut and providing a barrier to potentially allergenic molecules,
providing anti-inflammatory properties that reduce the risk of infections (which can act as allergy triggers).
Nursing toddlers are SMART
Extensive research on the relationship between cognitive achievement (IQ scores, grades in school) and breastfeeding has shown the greatest gains for those children breastfed the longest.
Nursing toddlers are WELL ADJUSTED SOCIALLY
According to Sally Kneidel in "Nursing Beyond One Year" (New Beginnings, Vol. 6 No. 4, July-August 1990, pp. 99-103.):
"Research reports on the psychological aspects of nursing are scarce. One study that dealt specifically with babies nursed longer than a year showed a significant link between the duration of nursing and mothers' and teachers' ratings of social adjustment in six- to eight-year-old children (Ferguson et al, 1987). In the words of the researchers, 'There are statistically significant tendencies for conduct disorder scores to decline with increasing duration of breastfeeding.'"
According to Elizabeth N. Baldwin, Esq. in "Extended Breastfeeding and the Law":
"Breastfeeding is a warm and loving way to meet the needs of toddlers and young children. It not only perks them up and energizes them; it also soothes the frustrations, bumps and bruises, and daily stresses of early childhood. In addition, nursing past infancy helps little ones make a gradual transition to childhood."
Baldwin continues: "Meeting a child's dependency needs is the key to helping that child achieve independence. And children outgrow these needs according to their own unique timetable." Children who achieve independence at their own pace are more secure in that independence then children forced into independence prematurely.
Nursing a toddler is NORMAL
The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that "Breastfeeding should be continued for at least the first year of life and beyond for as long as mutually desired by mother and child... Increased duration of breastfeeding confers significant health and developmental benefits for the child and the mother... There is no upper limit to the duration of breastfeeding and no evidence of psychologic or developmental harm from breastfeeding into the third year of life or longer." (AAP 2005)
The American Academy of Family Physicians recommends that breastfeeding continue throughout the first year of life and that "Breastfeeding beyond the first year offers considerable benefits to both mother and child, and should continue as long as mutually desired." They also note that "If the child is younger than two years of age, the child is at increased risk of illness if weaned." (AAFP 2001)
A US Surgeon General has stated that it is a lucky baby who continues to nurse until age two. (Novello 1990)
The World Health Organization emphasizes the importance of nursing up to two years of age or beyond (WHO 1992, WHO 2002).
Scientific research by Katherine A. Dettwyler, PhD shows that 2.5 to 7.0 years of nursing is what our children have been designed to expect (Dettwyler 1995).

Breastfeeding protects against osteoporosis. During lactation a mother may experience decreases of bone mineral. A nursing mom's bone mineral density may be reduced in the whole body by 1 to 2 percent while she is still nursing. This is gained back, and bone mineral density may actually increase, when the baby is weaned from the breast. This is not dependent on additional calcium supplementation in the mother's diet.

I am a mom who is still breastfeeding my 2 1/2 year old. She calls it mama's. She knows that breastfeeding for us is for nap and sleep times. She is sooo cute when it comes time to bf her. She will ask politely for mama's. She gets excited, and helps me with my shirt, and bra. She'll hold my breast like it was a bottle. When she is done, but didn't fall asleep, she will gurgle the last of the milk for a few seconds...
I hope this info helps. Don't let people convince you that bf past a year is "gross" or "perverted" or something, because it isn't! It's a bond that you and your baby share, and you shouldn't let anyone take that bond from you.

Attorney General Lockyer Obtains Judgment in First "Do Not Call" Lawsuit Filed in NationAmerican Home Craft Must Obey Telemarketing Laws, Pay $100,000
June 23, 2004
(916) 324-5500
(SACRAMENTO) Attorney General Bill Lockyer today announced he has reached a settlement in what is believed to have been the first lawsuit filed in the nation charging a company with violating the national Do Not Call law.
Filed in November 2003, the Attorney General's complaint charged American Home Craft Inc. and two of the company's officers with making illegal telemarketing phone calls to more than 120 Californians who had placed their names on the national Do Not Call registry. The complaint also charged the home improvement company with continuing to call customers after they asked to be placed on the company's internal do-not-call list in violation of federal law.
"American Home Craft blatantly disregarded one of the most significant consumer protection laws ever enacted," Lockyer said. "We expect all telemarketers to respect the wishes of consumers who put their names on the federal Do Not Call registry so that they may enjoy uninterrupted evenings with their families and friends in the privacy of their homes. We will continue to file complaints and obtain judgments against unscrupulous companies that interrupt people's lives in violation of this landmark law."
The complaint was filed against American Home Craft; Bradley Alan Smith, the company's president; and Brent Frenchak, the former vice president in charge of marketing, who has since left the company. Under the terms of the judgment, signed by U.S. District Court Judge Jeffrey S. White in San Francisco, all three defendants must comply with federal and state do-not-call laws. American Home Craft and Smith also are required to implement compliance procedures that include plans for recording, investigating and reporting complaints and ensure their employees are properly trained in those procedures.
The company and its president also are required to pay $45,000 in civil penalties, $30,000 for the costs of investigating and prosecuting the case and $25,000 in restitution to the California residents who lodged complaints with the California Attorney General, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) or the Federal Communications Commission about receiving phone calls from American Home Craft in violation of the federal do-not-call law. Individual consumers who filed a complaint against the company prior to the entry of the judgment will receive damages of up to $200 each.
The lawsuit was based on violations of the federal Do Not Call law that occurred before California's Do Not Call statute went into effect in January 2004. Under the state law, companies that continue to place unsolicited commercial phone calls to Californians who have placed their names on the FTC's national Do Not Call Registry can face penalties of up to $11,000 per unlawful phone call.
Based in Hayward, with offices in Sacramento, San Diego and Irvine, American Home Craft was charged with placing illegal phone calls to consumers from more than 12 area codes in California. The investigation by the Attorney General's Office revealed that American Home Craft never attempted to purchase the Do Not Call registry when it first became available to businesses in October 2003. In addition, consumers complained they continued to receive unsolicited telemarketing calls after they had requested to be placed on the company's internal Do Not call list, a violation of federal regulations.
In January, Lockyer filed a second lawsuit against L.M.A. Marketing Inc, for violating ththe federal Do Not Call law. The Florida-based company, doing business as Mortgage Concepts, is charged with pretending to conduct surveys in an effort to contract California consumers about refinancing their mortgages. The Attorney General received more than 250 complaints from Californians. The litigation continues.
Consumers who wish to block unsolicited commercial phone calls may register their home or mobile telephone numbers on the FTC's national registry at www.donotcall.gov, or by calling 1-888-382-1222. California uses the national registry so Californians who register their numbers with the FTC also are protected by both state and federal law. Consumers who wish to file complaints against telemarketers for violating the law may do so by contacting the FTC at the above website or phone number.

Values of Protected Landscapes and Seascapes Series No 2
Editor Josep-Maria Mallarach
This is the second volume in the new series on the Values of Protected Landscapes and Seascapes produced by the Protected Landscapes Task Force of IUCN's World Commission on Protected Areas (WCPA).
In launching the series early in 2008, we explained the rationale behind protected landscapes: some lived-in landscapes are so important for conservation and sustainable development that they deserve special protection and IUCN has recognised such landscapes in which effective national or local conservation measures are already in place as Category V protected areas: Protected Landscape and Seascapes.
As protected areas based on the interactions of people and nature over time, these places sustain biological and cultural diversity, as well as being valuable in many other ways. We explained too that, while the Protected Landscapes Task Force had begun to document these values1, we felt that there was need for more detailed examination, explanation and advocacy of these landscapes in order to promote a wider understanding of the range of benefits that Category V protected areas have to offer: hence, the publication of this series on the values of Protected Landscapes and Seascapes, in which each volume will explore the different values that this category provides through a set of case studies preceded by a synthesis section discussingthe lessons to be learnt.The first volume in the series, Protected Landscapes andAgrobiodiversity Values2, was well received. We are confidentthat this second volume, The Cultural and SpiritualValues of Protected Landscapes, will be equally useful to awide range of practitioners and policy makers. In producingthis volume we worked in partnership with the WCPA Task Force on the Cultural and Spiritual Values of ProtectedAreas (CVSPA)

At Shim Jang Taekwondo we work hard to provide a safe and friendly atmosphere for our members and instructors to train in, we are sure you will be pleasantly surprised when you first experience one of our classes.
Good Health
Good health is important for us to live a satisfying life, as you train you will be introduced slowly to various stretching, breathing and coordination exercises that can assist us in all aspects of our daily lives, regular training gets us "off the couch" and helps us develop a more health conscious, fulfilling lifestyle.
At Shim jang Taekwondo we study the original 20 Chang-Hon or Chon-Ji style patterns that were developed and have been taught since taekwondo's inception back in the late 1950's. These patterns help to instil in our members a sense of pride, achievement, skill and confidence while at the same time assisting them to continually hone and develop their self defence skills.
Our organisation boasts some of the country's most experienced instructors who have a wealth of knowledge to share with our members, some of our more senior instructors have over 30 years experience in the art of taekwondo and have been instrumental in the arts overall growth, development and success here in this country. Our instructors are experts in their field and will confidently guide you on your Shim Jang TKD journey.
Great Value!
Shim Jang TKD's size, strength, expertise & independence allow us the luxury of passing our hard earned success back on to our members by way of:

No Tournaments
Shim Jang Taekwondo does not hold tournaments; although tournaments can be seen as an effective way of promoting a club we believe them to be counterproductive to the study of "Original" Taekwondo. It is common sense that we only have a certain amount of time to practice, we believe that the more time you spend learning to "Point Fight" the less time you have to learn and benefit from the real "ART". From a promotional point of view we are quite happy to let our ability as instructors and our reputation as a world class organisation do the talking for us.
Our classes do not promote the wearing of cumbersome protective padding during training but instead we prefer to practice balance, timing, co-ordination and control.
To all affiliates & new members; On behalf of all W.S.T.A Instructors it gives me great pleasure and deep honour to welcome you to the art of Shim Jang Taekwondo.
Since the early 1980's our organisation has built a strong reputation for providing members of the public with top quality martial arts and self defence instruction. more
