Grabbing gun makers NH's big opportunityEDITORIAL
April 06. 2013 10:33PM
Last week, Maryland and Connecticut approved strict new gun-control laws. Colorado preceded them by a few weeks. New Hampshire now has a rare opportunity to show that the New Hampshire Advantage is about more than tax rates. Will our leaders take it?
Maryland is home to Beretta USA. The Baltimore Sun reported in early March that "the governor of Texas, West Virginia's House speaker and an Illinois congressman" had already contacted the company to invite it to their state. LWRC International, an arms manufacturer also based in Maryland, "received offers, some including tax incentives, from elected or government officials in Nebraska, Mississippi, North Dakota, Nevada, Texas and West Virginia," The Sun reported.
Notice what gun-friendly New England state is glaringly absent from those lists?
Gun manufacturer Sturm, Ruger & Co. is headquartered in Connecticut. It has manufacturing facilities in two other states: Arizona and New Hampshire. Bill Ruger Jr., former company president and son of Ruger's founder, is retired - in New Hampshire.
Yet as far as we can tell, Gov. Maggie Hassan has not shown up on his doorstep each morning with flowers and chocolates.
Colorado is home to a big gun-accessories manufacturer. All of these companies are being heavily recruited by public officials from states other than New Hampshire, which already is home to Sig Sauer and to manufacturing facilities for Heckler & Koch USA, Sturm, Ruger and other parts and accessories makers.
New Hampshire has low taxes, a good port, good access to major interstate highways and a culture supportive of responsible gun use and the Second Amendment. It is a great location for manufacturers of guns, gun parts, gun accessories and ammunition. So why is the state not aggressively pursuing these companies and the jobs they would bring with them?

ALEX Salmond endured one his worst batterings at the hands of opposition leaders during First Minister's Questions as he was attacked over his dealings with the tycoons Rupert Murdoch and Donald Trump.
• Opposition leaders attack SNP leader over ties with tycoons during First Minister's Questions
• Alex Salmond insists he was advocating jobs for Scotland during meetings with Rupert Murdoch
• Manhattan dinner dates with Trump could have misled parliament
In a heated exchange in Holyrood on Thursday Mr Salmond was told he has "demeaned the office" of First Minister to win the businessmen's favour.
The First Minister's opponents poured scorn on his claim that safeguarding Scottish jobs was behind his willingness to lobby for Mr Murdoch's ill-fated take-over of BSkyB.
And late on Thursday, the emergence of a "secret" meeting with the News Corporation chief in 2008 prompted further calls for Mr Salmond to explain his relationship with the media mogul.
Mr Salmond also faced claims of misleading parliament over a 2007 dinner date with Mr Trump in New York, during which the tycoon said he received assurances a wind farm would not be built near his North-east golf course, a claim strenuously denied by Mr Salmond.
'The First Minister is demeaning the office he craved for so long'
Labour leader Johann Lamont told Mr Salmond at First Ministers Questions he was perhaps the "only senior politician in the world" ready to meet Mr Murdoch after it emerged the murdered schoolgirl Milly Dowler's phone was hacked by the News of the World.
Ms Lamont said: "His newspapers might be being investigated for bribery, perverting the course of justice, destroying evidence and perjury, but Rupert is still welcome in Wee Eck's house.
"Doesn't the First Minister realise all he is achieving is to demean the office he craved so long? Alex Salmond is desperately trying to cover-up for the fact a rich man has played him for a fool. He is less a statesman, more a sucker."
Mr Murdoch this week described his relationship with Mr Salmond as "warm" and said his Sun newspaper endorsed the SNP at last year's election.
The First Minister insisted his dealings with the media tycoon, which included a January meeting with his son James, were motivated by "the prospects of employment in Scotland".
He said that BSkyB employed more than 6,000 people in Scotland, but said "major job losses" were threatened last year when the company reduced the number of its contractors from nine to two. In July last year, after the Milly Dowler scandal broke, SNP MPs at Westminster had backed a motion asking Mr Murdoch to withdraw the BSkyB bid.
A separate Holyrood motion from October 2010 was signed by current SNP youth employment minister Angela Constance. Ms Lamont asked: "If this was really such a good job for Scotland, as the First Minister said last night, that jobs relied on it, why did the First Minister support his own MPs in opposing the deal?"
Mr Salmond told her: "That was after the revelations on phone hacking and Milly Dowler. I would have thought that is patently obvious."
'No assurances given against offshore wind'
It emerged this week that Mr Salmond told Murdoch aides that he would be prepared to lobby the under-fire UK Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt to allow the BSkyB takeover, which collapsed in the aftermath of the phone-hacking scandal.
Liberal Democrat leader Willie Rennie said: "The First Minister is fast becoming Murdoch's defender in chief."
Meanwhile, the fallout from Mr Trump's appearance at Holyrood earlier this week continued, as Tory leader Ruth Davidson asked Mr Salmond why he had failed to disclose the dinner with Mr Trump in late 2007 when he was quizzed about his dealings with the Trump Organisation at Holyrood's local government and communities committee three months later.
She said: "Did the First Minister intentionally mislead parliament, or did he just forget in the glory of supping with Murdoch one night that he had been supping with Trump the next?"
Mr Salmond said: "Let me repeat, this government has never given any assurance against a planning application for offshore wind in Aberdeen."
The Tory leader added: "Is the First Minister asking the Scottish people to believe that when a multi-billionaire, attracted to Scotland with great fanfare by his predecessor, was threatening to pull the plug as soon as he took office, that he didn't, like some latter-day Arthur Daley, tell his new best pal that he would get it sorted? Something here stinks."
Mr Salmond challenged Ms Davidson's assertion that Mr Trump looked "credible" during his appearance at Holyrood's energy committee. He said: "When Donald Trump was asked what the evidence was for this great difficulty in Scottish tourism, he said: 'I am the evidence'. I have to say it struck me not so much as 'credible'. It's a bit like the Judge Dredd view of tourism."

Wet weather is good for mushroom hunters.
All this wet weather has brought a nice showing of mushrooms in New Mexico. This enthusiast had the good fortune to attend a dinner party where the featured item was an eight pound Cauliflower mushroom from the south east area of the Valle Grande in Jemez mountains. A beautiful tangy and earthy scent emanated from this specimen, which was regarded by many to have the segmented appearance of a brain. It sliced like a Stilton, loose and hearty. It was cooked to perfection in a broth by the host who then proceeded to feature the fungus in a lovely Beef stroganoff on egg noodles. A chardonnay complemented the delicate, buttery flesh of this outstanding find.
Mushroom hunter Rick Fulwyler (pictured) reported that he had also found porcini (Boletus edulis,) the rare Boletus aereus, oyster mushrooms and the wild cousin of the button mushroom.
Disclaimer: do not eat anything without the guidance of an experienced mushroom hunter.

Dog Days
The leading light of winter's evening skies is climbing into view in the morning sky. According to tradition, that dawn appearance brings an end to the "dog days" of summer.
Sirius is the brightest star of Canis Major, the Big Dog, so it's known as the Dog Star. It's also the brightest star in the entire night sky. For the last couple of months, it's been rising and setting at about the same time as the Sun, so it's been lost in the daytime glare.
The ancient Greeks and Romans blamed that proximity to the Sun for the oppressive heat of summer. So they called this time of year the dog days.
Sirius doesn't actually contribute anything to the heat of summer. Despite its brightness, it's almost nine light-years away, so there's no way for it to warm our planet. Its appearance during the hottest part of the year is just a coincidence.
But it's one that won't last forever. Thanks to a "wobble" in Earth's rotation, the stars move through the seasons. As a result, the time that Sirius rises and sets with the Sun is moving later into the year. And over the millennia it will move even later. So perhaps the people of the distant future will associate the "dog days" not with the heat of summer, but with the cold of winter.
For now, look for Sirius just peeking into view in the south-southeast shortly before sunrise. The brilliant star will climb a little higher into the sky each day — eventually working its way into the cold evening skies of winter.

Ahead of 'Manam' shooting, Chaitanya experiences jitters
Published: 05th September 2013 01:11 PM | Last Updated: 05th September 2013 01:11 PM | A+A A-
Actor Akkineni Naga Chaitanya is "excited" and "nervous" ahead of shooting for the first time with his grandfather and father in upcoming Telugu comedy-drama "Manam". Chaitanya will shoot with his family members here Sep 9.
"Manam" also features Chaitanya's grandfather Akkineni Nageswara Rao and father Akkineni Nagarjuna. It is touted to be the first family multi-starrer in Telugu.
"I'm quite excited and nervous at the same time. I'm sure shooting few days together with my grandfather and dad will ease my tension because facing them together before the camera will be totally different from what it is at home," Naga Chaitanya told IANS.
Vikram Kumar of "13B" and "Ishq" fame will helm this project, which will be produced by Akkineni home banner.
The film also features Shriya Saran and Samantha Ruth Prabhu in important roles.
It is reported that the three members from Akkineni family will reprise their real life relationship on screen as well.
In Indian cinema, only the Kapoor family - Prithvi Raj Kapoor, Raj Kapoor and Randhir Kapoor - have featured together in Hindi film "Kal Aaj Aur Kal".

Well now I have another cookie to make. Sugar cookies are my favorite. I love the April Fools try.ReplyDelete
I've never been a big fan of sugar cookie, but then wall of the ones I've tried have been from the store bakery and a little stale. So I think I should try some award winning cookies to see what all of the fuss is about.ReplyDelete
Yum! I love just about all cookies (and it shows). I'm sending this recipe to myself. =)ReplyDelete
I made them this morning using coconut oil and ww flour. My kiddos gobbled them. big thanks to you and Nigel.ReplyDelete
Shame on you for posting these! I just finished baking them and if I'm not careful, there may not be any left for my son's cub scout den tonight!! Whatever the boys don't eat are going to work with my husband. Cookies like these are the reason I very rarely bake (I end up eating them all))!ReplyDelete

I asked hubby to go to the store for cream of tartar tonight. two stores later, i made the cookies! they are yummy: crisp, sweet and delicate! plus, i'm in new mexico so maybe i can cheer for nigel's cookies at the state fair this year. thanks for sharing on your beautiful blog.ReplyDelete
The butter is 113g by the calculators. 2.5cups flour total. I wasn't sure if my butter was unsalted or not so left out the added salt - all good!! V popular but wish I'd read on to see the cinnamon/5spice tip. Wondering if anyone has sub'd/added any lemon or cocoa for flavouring and would like to offer how it went...?ReplyDelete
just made these as Christmas cookies and finished them off with green & red sugar and they are TO. DIE. FOR. they probably won't make it to Christmas. i guess i'll just have to make more! :-)ReplyDelete

One of the long-running inside jokes of furry fandom is that of drawing a female furry character, naked with a crowbar.
The origins of the joke are said to be a convention sometime in the 1980s. As the story goes, someone asked Steve Gallacci to draw a picture of Erma Felna naked. He declined, but Jim Groat who was nearby and overheard the conversation, asked again in a whiny fanboy voice to draw her naked, and with a crowbar.[1]
Since then, it has become something of a cliché/running joke that any artist in the furry fandom will at some point produce a picture of a female naked with a crowbar, or that any sufficiently well-known female character will be drawn naked with a crowbar (one recent LiveJournal discussion mentioned Florence Ambrose).[citation needed]
Some artists have done one or more pictures specifically to pay homage to the joke. It has been parodied in a few stories, including Sabrina Online: The Story, and even made it into one edition of an SNES game. [2]
The Titanium Crowbar Awards[edit]
On July 25, 2000, artist Brian O'Connell suggested in alt.fan.furry the creation of the Titanium Crowbar Awards for best furry erotica in the fandom.[3] This came out of a discussion involving "crowbar" jokes, posted earlier on the group, involving the device, Gallaci's character, and sex.
Even though he wrote a ballot post on August of that same year on AFF, with category nominations, nothing came out of it, and the idea was shelved.[4]

This topic gathers recipe-style solutions for common needs developers using EMF have.

- 3 Properties Recipes
- 4 EMF.Edit Recipes
Code generation recipes
Recipe: Avoiding xsi:type in your serialization
Recipe: Generating Pure API With No Visible EMF Dependencies
You want to generate code for an EMF model but you don't want any references to EMF types in your API or anything else that reveals that the API is implemented by EMF.
In your genmodel:
- Set the 'Suppress EMF Types' property to 'true'; standard Java types will be used rather than EMF types for all accessors and operations. Features of type 'EObject' will be surfaced as 'java.lang.Object' instead. If the model includes feature maps, you will need to use the properties 'Feature Map Wrapper Class', 'Feature Map Wrapper Interface', and 'Feature Map Wrapper Internal Interface' to provide an alternative API. You can look as the support for SDO's Sequence API as the example.
- Clear or set the value of the 'Root Extends Interface' generator model property. If cleared, the generated domain API will not depend on anything, or it can be set to an interface of your choosing so that root interfaces will extend this specified interface.
- Set 'Suppress EMF Metadata' to 'true' so that only a package implementation class is generated, but no interface, and so that the generated factory interface will not extend EFactory and will have an INSTANCE instead of an eINSTANCE field. Alternatively, set the generator package's 'Metadata' property to redirect the package and factory interfaces to a different Java subpackage.
- Set the 'Suppress EMF Model Tags' property to 'false' to eliminate the generation of the @model tags in the Javadoc.
- Set the 'Root Extends Class' and 'Root Implements Interface' properties to control the generation of the implementation, but if you clear the first one or set it so the generated implementation is not a subclass of EObjectImpl, the generated code will be invalid as it will have unresolved references to inherited methods that will not be available, e.g., eGet, eSet, eUnset, eIsSet and eIsProxy. Generating an implementation that is pure Java is not possible with the default templates but can be achieved with dynamic templates.

Recipe: Using Multiple Namespaces in the Generated EMF Editor
You want to use multiple namespaces in your generated EMF editor: say you have metamodel A with namespace mm.A which is a superset of legacy metamodel B with namespace mm.B .
If you generate an EMF editor using namespace mm.A, it can by default not read files which were serialized using namespace mm.B, unless you manually edit the files to point to namespace mm.A. But all files using metamodel B must be compatible with some legacy tool so they cannot be changed.
Now you could rename namespace mm.A to mm.B and regenerate the editor, but that forces you to adapt all your manual code and all your new files using metamodel A.
- You can change your plugin.xml to let the editor recognize both namespaces:
<extension point="org.eclipse.emf.ecore.generated_package"> <package uri = "mm.B" class = "mm.APackage" </extension>
<extension point="org.eclipse.emf.ecore.generated_package"> <package uri = "mm.A" class = "mm.APackage" genModel = "model/A.genmodel" /> </extension>
- If you save a model in your generated EMF editor, it will by default use namespace mm.A. You can change it to save using namespace mm.B by changing the String eNS_URI in src/mm.APackage (and changing the @generated tag).

Notification Framework Recipes
Recipe: Use EContentAdapter to receive notifications from a whole containment tree
You want to observe changes in a whole containment tree.
- Extend org.eclipse.emf.ecore.util.EContentAdapter (MyContentAdapter) and add that extension as an Adapter to the Root EObject of the containment hierarchy that you want to observe.
- Override the method 'notifyChanged(Notification n)'. Inside the method´s body your first call must be super.notifyChanged(n) which adds MyContentAdapter to any new elements in the hierarchy and removes MyContentAdapter from any removed EObjects in the hierarchy. After finding out the type of the notifier Object (Remember: this might now be any EObject in the containment hierarchy, not just the EObject you initially added MyContentAdapter to - so it could be of any type that occurs in the containment hierarchy) you can go on by writing the usual notification code to find out about what feature changed, the type of the notification, etc.
A simple example model org.example.library consists of an EClass 'Library' which has a containment reference 'books' of type 'Book'. The EClass 'Book' has a String attribute 'title' and a boolean attribute 'available'. Now you want to be notified about a) new Books in the Library and b) about changes of any book´s availability (the title of a book usually won´t change so we exclude this feature). Using the Solution described above we will do the following:
class MyContentAdapter extends org.eclipse.emf.ecore.util.EContentAdapter {
// start observing a Library model
public void observeLibrary(org.example.library.Library l){
//override the notifyChanged method
public void notifyChanged(Notification n){
super.notifyChanged(n); // the superclass handles adding/removing this Adapter to new Books
// find out the type of the notifier which could be either 'Book' or 'Library'
Object notifier = Notification.getNotifier();
if (notifier instanceof Library) {
} else if (notifier instanceof Book) {
// output a message about new books
private void handleLibraryNotification(Notification n){
int featureID = n.getFeatureID(org.example.library.Library.class);
if (featureID = org.example.library.LibraryPackage.LIBRARY__BOOKS){
if (n.getType == Notification.ADD){
Book b = (Book) n.getNewValue();
System.out.println("New Book was added to the Library: + " b.getTitle());
// output a message about a book´s availability
private void handleBookNotification(Notification n){
int featureID = n.getFeatureID(org.example.library.Book.class);
if (featureID == org.example.library.LibraryPackage.BOOK__AVAILABLE){
Book b = (Book) n.getNotifier();
System.out.println("The book " + b.getTitle() + " is now " + (b.isAvailable() ? "available" : "unavailable"));

Properties Recipes
Recipe: Create your own property editor in a generated application
You want to edit your model properties using your own cell editor, rather than using EMF default one.
- Create your own CustomizedPropertyDescritor that extends 'org.eclipse.emf.edit.ui.provider.PropertyDescriptor' and overrides 'CellEditor createPropertyEditor(Composite)'. In that method create your own CellEditor. Please refer to super implementation to know, how to enable your editor for particular types.
- Create your CustomizedPropertySource that extends 'org.eclipse.emf.edit.ui.provider.PropertySource.class' and overrides 'IPropertyDescriptor createPropertyDescriptor(IItemPropertyDescriptor)'. The overidden method should return CustomizePropertyDescriptor described in the previous paragraph.
- Create your CustomizedAdapterFactoryContentProvider that extends 'org.eclipse.emf.edit.ui.provider.AdapterFactoryContentProvider' and overrides 'IPropertySource createPropertySource(Object, IItemPropertySource)' method. The overidden method should return CustomizedPropertySource.
- In your generated .editor find the XyzEditor, and then, in 'IPropertySheetPage getPropertySheetPage()' replace the line
propertySheetPage.setPropertySourceProvider(new AdapterFactoryContentProvider(adapterFactory));
with a line that will set your CustomizedAdapterFactoryContentProvider.

Recipe: Create an Eclipse Forms editor with widgets for your properties
You want to edit your model properties using a custom non-tree-based forms editor, rather than using EMF default one.
- As a starting point, grab the SimpleFormEditor from this article on Eclipse Forms.
- You need the following components to get this working:
* ComposedAdapterFactory : this adapts all the ItemProvider stuff from the EMF-generated .edit plugin to suit your needs * AdapterFactoryEditingDomain : this is the read/write interface to your model's resource, it needs the adapter factory and a command stack * AdapterFactoryItemDelegator : delegates from a model element (item) to the respective item provider from the .edit plugin * AdapterFactoryLabelProvider : gets text for your model elements by asking the item provider * BasicCommandStack : well...a basic command stack with some undo/redo support
- To start implementing, open the default multi-page editor generated by EMF from your model. You need to merge parts of this into the forms editor, among them:
* resource management code (changed, saved and removed resources as well as the resourceChangeListener and partListener) * editor state management code (isDirty() and all save-related methods) * methods which handle events related to the above mentioned stuff * the 3 methods documented below
- initializeEditingDomain() : This method glues most of the above-mentioned components together. Call it in the editor's constructor. The XYZItemProviderAdapterFactory (generated by EMF in the .edit plugin) should already be added to the ComposedAdapterFactory (if not, add in the one you need).
protected void initializeEditingDomain() {
// Create an adapter factory that yields item providers.
// For this to work this plugin needs the dependency on the
// EMF edit plugin generated from the ThetaML .ecore and .genmodel
this.adapterFactory = new ComposedAdapterFactory(
.addAdapterFactory(new ResourceItemProviderAdapterFactory());
.addAdapterFactory(new ThetamlItemProviderAdapterFactory());
.addAdapterFactory(new ReflectiveItemProviderAdapterFactory());
// command stack that will notify this editor as commands are executed
BasicCommandStack commandStack = new BasicCommandStack();
// Add a listener to set the editor dirty of commands have been executed
commandStack.addCommandStackListener(new CommandStackListener() {
public void commandStackChanged(final EventObject event) {
getContainer().getDisplay().asyncExec(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
// Create the editing domain with our adapterFactory and command stack.
this.editingDomain = new AdapterFactoryEditingDomain(adapterFactory,
commandStack, new HashMap<Resource, Boolean>());
// These provide access to the model items, their property source and label
this.itemDelegator = new AdapterFactoryItemDelegator(adapterFactory);
this.labelProvider = new AdapterFactoryLabelProvider(adapterFactory);
- init() : Editor initialization comprises registering for part and resource events and creation of your model (see below).
public void init(IEditorSite site, IEditorInput editorInput)
throws PartInitException {
super.init(site, editorInput);
- createModel() : This loads your model's resource into the editing domain. If you don't need the diagnostic stuff you may skip that as I did. After the resource is loaded, your model instance can be created and used.
public void createModel() {
URI resourceURI = EditUIUtil.getURI(getEditorInput());
Resource resource = null;
try {
// Load the resource through the editing domain.
resource = editingDomain.getResourceSet().getResource(resourceURI,
} catch (Exception e) {
resource = editingDomain.getResourceSet().getResource(resourceURI,
if (resource != null) {
this.modelRoot = (Your_Model_Root_Element) resource.getContents().get(0);
- Create a new class extending FormPage and overload the constructor to give the class access to all components you need. This may be the model or parts of it, references to the form editor, the editing domain etc.
- Implement the createFormContent(IManagedForm managedForm) method of the form page by creating form widgets as you like. For instance, you may traverse your model and create a text field for every property.
- To fetch an element's property, instruct the above-mentioned ItemDelegator to fetch so-called "property descriptors" for this element. Just iterate over this list of IItemPropertyDescriptor's ("descriptor" is the loop variable here, it has to be final) and call
EObject feature = (EObject) descriptor.getFeature(your_element_instance);
Now you may introspect this feature instance and decide what widget you want to create for it. By looking at it's feature ID, you can discover which property the feature represents. The actual property value you get by calling the ItemDelegator (I wrote a getter in my editor class):
Object value = ((EObject) editor.getItemDelegator().getEditableValue(your_element_instance)).eGet(your_feature_instance)
In most cases it will be a String value, so you just have to create a text field for it:
Text text = toolkit.createText(client, valueString, SWT.SINGLE);
- To update your model when the user modifies the value in the form, you have to add a mofifyListener to handle this:
if (value instanceof String) {
text.addModifyListener(new ModifyListener() {
public void modifyText(ModifyEvent event) {
for (IItemPropertyDescriptor descriptor2 : variablePropertyDescriptors) {
if (descriptor2.getId(formula).equals(descriptor.getId(formula))) {
String newValueText = ((Text) event.widget).getText();
descriptor2.setPropertyValue(formula, newValueText);
That's basically it. Your mileage may vary. Things left to do include code to update the form upon resource changes.
The important concept to grasp is that you interact with your model in a very indirect way. To utilize all the nice things the EMF framework offers out-of-the-box, you have to use its mechanics. I'm referring to the generated XYZItemProvider classes and the accompanying adapter factory. If you look at these you find they implement the interfaces IItemPropertySource and IItemLabelProvider. This enables the AdapterFactoryItemDelegator and AdapterFactoryLabelProvider to fetch properties and label text for each item, i.e., element of your model. They also implement IEditingDomainItemProvider which enables the AdapterFactoryEditingDomain to delegate command creation to the EMF-generated ItemProviderAdapter (all XYZItemProvider classes extend this). The line where setPropertyValue is called is the important one - here the magic happens. This call is delegated to the ItemProvider for the element you used and a SetCommand is created, added to the command stack we setup for our editing domain, and executed. All editor state management like mark dirty, save, undo/redo is handled for you by EMF.
Most of the code was written by Eclipse EMF and Forms people, I just merged it to get a basic forms editor working. There may be easier and/or cleaner ways to get this done. I encourage you to add to this recipe or correct me if I got something wrong.

Recipe: Custom Labels
You want to provide customized text for an object's label in an EMF-generated editor. Further, if the customized text is derived from other objects and their attributes, you want the label to be updated whenever those attribute values may change.
- Modify the generated ItemProvider.getText() method to compose the value you wish.
- If your label's value depends on other objects and their attributes:
- Take care to test for null references and values.
- Create a class that implements the org.eclipse.emf.edit.provider.INotifyChangedListener interface
- An inner class of the target item provider class works well.
- In the notifyChanged() method, check whether the notification is for one of the attributes upon which your custom label depends. If it is, then fire a new notification event whose notifier/element is your target object. Take care to prevent the new event from causing infinite recursion, remove the listener before firing the event, and add it back afterwards.
- In the target item provider's constructor, create an instance of the above listener and add it to the adapter factory.
- Override the dispose() method to remove the listener from the adapter factory.
- If your label's value depends on attributes or references in the target object, ensure the notifyChanged() method in the target item provider fires a notification event for these cases. The ViewerNotification for these events need to indicate label updating.
In this example, assume you want to customize the label for an instance of EMF class A. The value is derived from an attribute, name, of another class B that is referenced from A.
Modify the getText() method in A's item provider:
public class AItemProvider
extends OperandItemProvider
IItemPropertySource {
* This returns the label text for the adapted class.
* <!-- begin-user-doc -->
* <!-- end-user-doc -->
* @generated NOT
public String getText(Object object) {
A aObj = (A) object;
String ref = aObj.getB() == null ? "???" : aObj.getB().getName();
ref = ref == null ? "???" : ref;
return getString("_UI_A_type")+" -> "+ref; //$NON-NLS-1$
Create an inner class to listen for change modifications:
class ChangeListener implements INotifyChangedListener {
public void notifyChanged(Notification notification) {
if(notification.getNotifier() != null && getTarget() != null && notification.getNotifier() == ((A) getTarget()).getB()) {
((IChangeNotifier) getAdapterFactory()).removeListener(this);
fireNotifyChanged(new ViewerNotification(notification, getTarget(), false, true));
((IChangeNotifier) getAdapterFactory()).addListener(this);
The above implementation checks that the modified object is the same instance that the target object references (as opposed to just any instance of B).
The new VewerNotification identifies the instance of A as the changed element, and the true argument signals the change requires a label update.
The removeListener() call prevents infinite recursion from the following fireNotifyChanged(). After the event is fired, the listener is added back to the adapter factory.
Instantiate the listener and add it to the adapter factory in the item provider's constructor:
public class AItemProvider
extends OperandItemProvider
IItemPropertySource {
private ChangeListener changeListener;
* This constructs an instance from a factory and a notifier.
* <!-- begin-user-doc -->
* <!-- end-user-doc -->
* @generated NOT
public AItemProvider(AdapterFactory adapterFactory) {
if(adapterFactory instanceof IChangeNotifier) {
IChangeNotifier cn = (IChangeNotifier) adapterFactory;
changeListener = new ChangeListener();
Override the dispose() method:
public class AItemProvider
extends OperandItemProvider
IItemPropertySource {
/* (non-Javadoc)
* @see org.eclipse.emf.edit.provider.ItemProviderAdapter#dispose()
public void dispose() {
if(changeListener != null) {
Modify the target object's item provider notifyChanged() to fire a change event when the reference to B changes:
* This handles model notifications by calling {@link #updateChildren} to update any cached
* children and by creating a viewer notification, which it passes to {@link #fireNotifyChanged}.
* <!-- begin-user-doc -->
* <!-- end-user-doc -->
* @generated NOT
public void notifyChanged(Notification notification) {
switch (notification.getFeatureID(A.class)) {
case FooPackage.A__B:
fireNotifyChanged(new ViewerNotification(notification, notification
.getNotifier(), false, true));
Note that the last parameter for the ViewerNotification constructor indicates the label is to be updated.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) With the buzz around top-ranked Rory McIlroy, some of the other big names playing at the Dubai World Championship can be forgotten.
The two-time major winner, who has already wrapped up the European Tour money title, is the favorite to win the season-ending tournament that starts Thursday. But several other Ryder Cup stars, including Ian Poulter and second-ranked Luke Donald, would like to cap off their seasons with a victory.
There are others, including South African newcomer Branden Grace, who know a strong finish could help them move up the rankings and qualify for a major in 2013. A top-30 finish gets them into the British Open, top 15 into the U.S. Open and a top 10 on the money list gets them a share of the $3.75 million in bonus money.
The 13th-ranked Poulter, who struggled earlier in the year, has played some of his best golf since helping lead Europe to the Ryder Cup victory over the United States in September. After his putting fueled the come-from-behind victory, Poulter won the HSBC Champions for his second career World Golf Championships title. He also finished second last week at the Australian Masters.
``I'm looking forward to this week,'' said Poulter, whose penalty in a two-way playoff cost him a shot at the 2010 Dubai title. ``I guess I'm in some pretty good form, so feeling like we can end the year on a very high note and move further in the world rankings, which would be very pleasing.''
The challenge for Poulter is translating the success he's had at the Ryder Cup into more consistency on the PGA and European Tour. He had four wins in four matches at Medinah and his 12-3 career record is the highest winning percentage of any European golfer in history.
``I can produce and it is within me,'' Poulter said. ``It comes out in the Ryder Cup. So why shouldn't I be able to produce that week in, week out?
`` We just have to see how long we can keep doing it for. When you look at the best players in the world, they are doing it week in, week out. So there is no reason why I shouldn't sit among those guys.''
Donald arrived in Dubai last year on the cusp of making history as the first golfer to win the PGA and European Tour money titles. This time around, he is overshadowed by McIlroy, who has repeated the 35-year-old Brit's feat but at a much younger age (2x).
Still, the Chicago-based Donald has been playing better since contributing to the European Ryder Cup win. He beat Bubba Watson to launch Europe's comeback and arrives on the heels of winning the Dunlop Phoenix Open, his first victory in Japan.
It marked his third title of the season following wins on the PGA Tour and European Tour and allowed him to overtake Tiger Woods for the No. 2 ranking.
``What I did last year brings back a lot of great memories,'' said Donald, who finished third last year in Dubai to clinch the Order of Merit title. ``It's an event with the top (57) guys from the year and another chance to obviously play against some of the best players in the world and try to win a tournament.''
Several of the rising stars of the tour are looking to cap career seasons. The 38th-ranked Grace earned his first four victories this season on the European Tour and a good showing could result in cracking the top 30.
``It's been a great year. If I put into words, it would be a dream come true,'' Grace said. ``One thing led to another, once I got my first win everything led into the other, that's how it happens. The year's not over. The course is in great shape. I think this is a long hitters golf course so if you can get out there, you should be able to score around this place.''
Big-hitting Nicolas Colsaerts won a second victory on the European Tour in 2012, and he could move up one spot into the top 10 in the Race to Dubai with a strong finish.
``My season has been far better than my expectation already, so this would be the icing on the cake,'' Colsaerts told The Associated Press.
Looking ahead to next year, the 30-year-old Belgian said he would like to improve at the majors, especially those in America. He tied for seventh at the British Open but missed the cut at the PGA Championship and tied for 27th at the U.S. Open.

Proposed school budget hits $21 million in LitchfieldBy KIMBERLY HOUGHTON
Union Leader Correspondent
February 04. 2013 10:41PM
LITCHFIELD - Voters are encouraged to attend Wednesday's deliberative session for the Litchfield School District, where the proposed budget and warrant articles will be reviewed and debated.
The budget committee is recommending an operating budget of nearly $21 million for the fiscal year 2013-2014. If approved, it represents an increase of less than 1.19 percent over the current operating budget, according to Business Administrator Steve Martin.
Superintendent Brian Cochrane focused on four main objectives when developing his recommended budget, including special education, technology, common core standards and building and grounds. Cochrane recommended an increase of more than $800,000. However, Martin stressed Monday that the budget committee ultimately cut more than $500,000 in cuts from the original proposed budget.
"Budget increases outside of the district's control, including the New Hampshire Retirement System's rate increase of $229,591, the transportation contracted rate increase of $29,538 and the budgeted health insurance rate increase of $19,441 were all absorbed by reductions throughout the budget," says a memo written by Martin.
The proposed budget also includes the hiring of several additional special education teachers and paraprofessionals needed to meet individual education plan requirements in 2014, he said.
The school district is anticipating a reduction of about $811,000 in revenue next year, the major contributor being a decrease in the state education adequacy grant, according to the memo.
If the budget is approved by voters at the polls next month, the school portion of the tax rate will increase from $12.79 to $14.12 per $1,000 of assessed valuation.
If adopted, school property taxes (local and state) would be about $5,277 for a home assessed at $320,000, which is up about $430 from the current rate. A home assessed at $240,000 would see an increase from $3,636 to $3,958, or a $322 hike.
Voters are also being asked to support $110,000 for salary increases associated with a two-year collective bargaining agreement reached between the Litchfield School District and the Litchfield Education Association. A separate warrant article will ask voters to authorize the retention of year-end unassigned general funds for the purpose of emergency expenditures, or to reduce the tax rate - up to 2.5 percent of the fiscal year's net assessment.
On Wednesday, residents will have the opportunity to amend all of the warrant articles before they are placed on the ballot for the March 12 election. Wednesday's deliberative session will begin at 7 p.m. at Campbell High School, 1 Highlander Court.

West Brom manager Steve Clarke has urged his side to keep their feet on the ground after a shock 2-1 defeat of Chelsea.
A goal apiece from Shane Long and Peter Odemwingie grabbed victory for the Baggies and moved them to fourth in the league, three points clear of Everton and just five off table-toppers Manchester City.
Saturday's scalp, following hard-fought wins over Liverpool and Everton earlier in the season, has prompted some to suggest that Champions League football may be heading to the Hawthorns in due course.
The former Chelsea assistant manager is remaining realistic, however, but admitted that it is an exciting time to be a part of the club.
"Can we think of the Champions League? I don't look that far ahead, I look from game to game," Clarke told reporters.
"It is a great time to be at the club and, if the supporters want to dream a bit, they can but, within the camp, we will keep our feet on the ground."
The Scot was also keen not to downplay his team's qualities after such a sterling performance, suggesting they can be a match for anyone.
"We are a good team and a good group. Anybody you put in can go in and do a good job for the team," he continued.
"We've shown this year we can challenge all the teams."

Andrew Sullivan spotlights this quote from Todd Glass, a comedian who came out of the closet last year on Marc Maron's podcast. He explains how he told girlfriend jokes for years while doing stand up by just turning his boyfriends into girlfriends:
"You know, at least I'm not lying saying "my girlfriend" anymore. And in all fairness, all my girlfriend jokes — for anybody who thinks, Oh, that's sad, he had to make up whole stories — I didn't make up whole stories; they were real stories, I just changed the gender. And by the way, if that doesn't prove how much same-sex couples are the exact same as heterosexual couples, not once in my career did anyone ever hear a story I told and say, "Wait a second, that doesn't sound like anything we … " It's all the same."
Quite right. And Sullivan picks up from there:
On the hundreds of interviews and radio call-ins I've done on marriage equality over the last two decades, one question was very common. It was: "I'm not anti-gay, I think. I just don't understand homosexuality. I have no real way to understand how a guy is attracted to another guy. It makes no sense to me." I loved getting this question because it helped get closer to the core of the issue. My response was simply: "Yes, you do understand homosexuality very well. Because you're a heterosexual. It's exactly the same – but with the gender switched. It's the same bundle of love, pain, misunderstanding, passion, anger, communication, frustration, happiness, joy, respect, and sadness that all true romantic and conjugal heterosexual love entails.
Every straight person already knows everything important there is to know about a gay person's needs and loves and lives. Just look in the mirror. We are human before we are gay or straight. We are you.
ME: Was I the only straight person at the show tonight?
HER: (Laughing) You might have been.
ME: Why does she have such a big gay following?
HER: Because she's gay.
ME: (Loudly and incredulously) No she's not!
HER: Yes she is.
ME: (Making my best argument) No she's not. Listen to all of her songs, they're all about love…and relationships…and breaking up…and…that was a really dumb thing to say, wasn't it?
HER: (Cracking up as she watches it dawn on me what an idiot I was being) Oh hell, you straight people got nothing on us. Our breakups take drama to a whole new level.
It was that moment, at the tender age of 20 or so, that it suddenly occurred to me that gay and straight are irrelevant characteristics, that as human beings we all experience love and loss and longing and pain in exactly the same way. I don't know why such an obvious thing hadn't occurred to me earlier, but it hadn't. And this is exactly why I'm so vocal in my support for equal rights for my gay friends. I don't see them as a Them anymore; they are me, in all the ways that matter.

- Sauber
Sutil convinced of better results at Sauber
Adrian Sutil is confident he will score the first podium of his career at Sauber as he prepares to join the team at the start of next year.
In his six seasons at Force India (known as Spyker in 2007), Sutil's best result was a fourth place finish at the 2009 Italian Grand Prix after qualifying second on the grid. Next year he will move to Sauber and he is hoping the switch will finally bring him a podium
"I'm convinced that we will have a successful time - and I'm looking very much forward to my first podium," he told the official Formula One website. "Sauber have had some podiums in the past and that is exactly what I want."
He said Sauber had been his team of choice since deciding to part ways with Force India.
"We were in contact for a long time," he added. "It had been my wish to have a change after six good years with Force India - and Sauber was my priority. My Manager has been in contact with them since autumn - and around that time I visited the factory in Hinwil for the first time."
Next year drivers will get to choose which number they run for the rest of their career and Sutil is confident he will get his first choice.
"I have picked my number already - and yes, my favourite was available - but it will be a secret until it is official!"

If you live in a college town, you might have noticed that campus coffee shops are still buzzing late into the evening.
And that makes sense. New survey data from the NPD group, which tracks trends in what Americans eat and drink, finds that 18- to 24-year-olds are turning to coffee, rather than caffeinated sodas, as their pick-me-up of choice.
In 2002, about 25 percent of 18- to 24-year-olds reported drinking coffee sometime within a two-week period. But by 2012, the percentage of young adults drinking coffee in that same time frame hit 39 percent.
"It's an explosive growth in the consumption of coffee," says Harry Balzer of the NPD Group.
For evidence of this trend, I hit a coffee shop near the campus of George Washington University, which is just a Metro-ride away from NPR headquarters here in D.C. In midafternoon, I found a packed house.
"This is nothing for two o'clock in the afternoon," senior Arturo Lichaucho tells me. Often times, the line is out the door and around the block, he explained, and lots of students hit the coffee shop before hitting the books in the late afternoon.
The students I chatted with gave lots of reasons for a steady coffee habit, including increasing demands on their time that lead to less sleep, and the 24/7 culture of overstimulation. And why not drink more coffee?
Recent studies link coffee consumption to a range of good health effects, including decreased risk of dementia and decreased risk of depression among women.
But experts say there is one downside that's often overlooked: Coffee consumption can get in the way of a good night's sleep.
"Our data has shown that a brewed coffee contains much more caffeine than a cold cola beverage" says Bruce Goldberger, a toxicologist at the University of Florida.
The Center for Science in the Public Interest took a look at several popular items and analyzed their caffeine content. It found that a 12-ounce cup of coffee from Starbucks contains about 260 milligrams of caffeine, which is about five times more than a 12-ounce can of Diet Coke.
The caffeine content of coffee varies widely. McDonald's coffee, for instance, has about 100 mg for a similar-size serving, which is significantly less than Starbucks. And Dunkin' Donuts coffee is somewhere in the middle. For more comparisons, see their caffeine content chart.
When adolescents and young adults are habituating to the effects of caffeine, it's easy for them to overdo it. And often, even adults with lots of experience drinking coffee don't necessarily connect sleep problems to caffeine consumption.
"There are absolutely negative implications," explains Amy Wolfson of the College of the Holy Cross in Massachusetts, who has studied how caffeine influences sleep among adolescents.
For instance, studies have linked high caffeine use to decreased REM sleep.
"We know that REM sleep is needed and has positive implications for memory consolidation and learning," says Wolfson. And if college students are getting too little sleep, or poorer quality sleep, Wolfson says, it's likely to have negative implications for academic performance.
So what's the smartest way to consume coffee for the boost but without the bust of a good night's sleep?
Pay attention to how much you drink, and when you drink it.
Consider this: The half-life of caffeine in the body can range from 2 1/2 hours to 12 hours. Because of genetic differences, some of us metabolize caffeine much more quickly than others.
But Goldberger says the typical half-life is probably about five hours, which means caffeine typically stays in the body for about 10 hours — or longer. (Technically, he says it takes up to five half-lives to rid the body completely of a drug.)
"If someone has a cup of coffee at 7 p.m., the caffeine that they've ingested is still in the body affecting the central nervous system when they're going to bed," says Goldberger.
So as a rule of thumb, if you want to go to sleep by midnight — and stay asleep — it's probably best not to drink coffee after 2 p.m.
It's MORNING EDITION from NPR News on a Monday morning. Good morning, I'm Steve Inskeep.
Today in Your Health, new treatments for Hepatitis C are curing many patients. First, let's get a dose of caffeine. Visit a college campus and you're likely to find that nearby coffee shops are empty in the morning - who's awake then - and packed at night. New survey data show that coffee drinking at the nation's colleges is way up over the past decade.
Now, I'm going to step out for a moment and get a cup of coffee. But while I'm gone, listen to NPR's Allison Aubrey, who reports on what that coffee drinking means for students.
ALLISON AUBREY, BYLINE: Researchers at the market research firm NPD Group track trends in what Americans of all ages eat and drink, including caffeinated beverages. Harry Balzer, who oversees the research, says one striking change he's documented is that college-aged kids have cut way back on caffeinated soda.
HARRY BALZER: But what really was the trend was they traded their caffeine from cola to their caffeine from coffee.
AUBREY: Balzer says consider the change over the last 10 years.
BALZER: In 2002, about 25 percent of 18-to-24-year-olds had coffee sometime in a two-week period.
AUBREY: But by 2012 the percentage of young adults drinking coffee hit 39 percent.
BALZER: Not quite a doubling, but it's up. It's an explosive growth in the consumption of coffee.
AUBREY: For evidence of this trend, I hit a coffee shop on the campus of George Washington University, where in mid-afternoon the place was packed.
ARTURO LICHAUCHO: This is nothing for 2:00 in the afternoon. The library is right there. It's next door, so...
AUBREY: Senior Arturo Lichaucho. He says people hang out here before hitting the books. Busiest time, he says, is early evening. When I asked him and his friends if they were surprised to hear of a significant jump in coffee consumption among their age group, they laughed.
LICHAUCHO: No.
KALEY INDECH: Why?
AUBREY: Student Kaley Indech says for lots of college students overstimulation is a way of life.
INDECH: Especially with like always being on our computers and stuff, and it causes, like, you to feel the need to re-energize with caffeine.
AUBREY: Her friend Richelle Gamlam, a senior, says the intense demands on their time is at play too. She's got an internship this semester.
RICHELLE GAMLAM: I'm working over 20 hours a week, five classes, involved on campus. So just the timing, like, a lot of times, you know, if you're getting less sleep, you really - I need that coffee to make it through class or get through work.
AUBREY: And why not drink more coffee? Recent studies have linked it to a host of good health effects, including a decreased risk of dementia and a lower risk of depression - at least among women.
But experts say there is one downside that's often overlooked. A 12-ounce cup of coffee from Starbucks can contain four to five times the amount of caffeine found in a Diet Coke of the same size. And this means coffee can get in the way of good night's sleep.
Richelle says it's happened to her.
GAMLAM: Yeah, you're really tired. And then you get in bed and you're, like, oh wait, I can't fall asleep now.
GAMLAM: But it doesn't happen very often.
AUBREY: Professor Amy Wolfson, of College of the Holy Cross, studies the effects of caffeine on sleep among adolescents.
AMY WOLFSON: Yes, absolutely. There are absolutely negative implications.
AUBREY: For instance, studies link high caffeine use to decreased REM sleep.
WOLFSON: We know that REM sleep is needed and has positive implications for memory consolidation and learning. And so if you think of the average college student having less sleep or poorer quality sleep, is likely to have negative implications for academic performance.
AUBREY: So what's the smartest way to consume coffee to get that boost without busting good sleep? Bruce Goldberger, a toxicologist at the University of Florida, says it's about timing. Consider this: The typical half life of caffeine is about four to five hours. This means it stays in the body about 10 hours.
BRUCE GOLDBERGER: If someone has a cup of coffee at 7:00 p.m., that caffeine that they've ingested, is still in the body affecting the central nervous system when they're going to bed.
AUBREY: There's a lot of variation from person to person. And due to genetic differences, some of us metabolize caffeine a lot more quickly than others. But as a rule of thumb, if you want to go to sleep by midnight and stay asleep, it's probably best not to drink coffee after 2:00 p.m.

Yesterday was a very interesting day in the markets, as the S&P 500 retraced part of its monumental 2013 run thus far after FOMC minutes indicated a possible slowing or change to the bond buying policies of the Fed. The MAR13 E-mini S&P 500 did hit the key level of 1530, then quickly sold off a few points. Once the minutes came out however, sellers really started to enter the market and took this market down all the way to below 1510. Because of the very important potential implications of these FOMC minutes, many risk-on markets really got hit hard yesterday. Crude oil, S&P 500, RBOB gasoline, gold, silver, and the euro all experienced selling waves yesterday as market participants reacted to potentially less liquidity support by the U.S. Fed.
Today, crude oil futures (APR13) are down again, trading down $2.16 to $93.12. RBOB Gasoline, after a big run up in January and early February, is down again today, trading down $.0248 to $3.0323 (MAR13 contract). We believe crude could continue to approach our major first downside target of $82. It seems like today's and yesterday's price action shows you how much the market has been dependent on the liquidity injections of the Fed. Now, the Fed has indicated talks of 'taking away the punch bowl' before the party really gets going, and the market is adjusting to this potential new reality.
We focus more on the Gold market today. Over the past two weeks, gold futures have dropped more than $100. Today, gold is rebounding slightly, trading up $3.30 to $1,581. We believe the next major downside target to gold is $1,540. Gold is now trading below our very key pivot level of $1,630. With the FOMC indicating a possible change in QE3 policy (potential winding down), gold bugs got very scared and quickly sold gold in anticipation of less Fed support/liquidity.

Singer Nick Lachey has shot down reports of a 98 Degrees reunion tour, insisting he plans on spending the summer with his expectant wife Vanessa Minnillo.
The pop group, comprised of Nick, his brother Drew, Justin Jeffre and Jeff Timmons, gained a massive fanbase when they formed in the mid-1990s, and went on to sell more than 10 million records worldwide before they parted ways in 2002.
Last month rumors surfaced indicating the four-piece was to kick off a 15-date U.S. tour in July, and now dad-to-be Lachey has crushed fan hopes, revealing he has no plans to revisit their boy band days.
In a post on Twitter.com on Thursday, he writes, "So psyched to see all the excitement for a 98 degree tour, but the only tour I'll be doing this summer is at (baby supply store) baby's 'r us!"

UNH Police on crime reporting: There's an app for thatBy RYAN O'CONNOR
Union Leader Correspondent
April 30. 2014 9:12PM
DURHAM — University of New Hampshire Police Chief Paul Dean recognizes that the best way to fight campus crime is to make crime reporting as convenient as possible.
With that in mind, Dean's department has connected with a smartphone app that allows students, parents, faculty, UNH sports fans or anyone else who may be on campus to report directly to one of his dispatchers.
"We've worked to communicate public safety messages through our website, our Facebook page and through Twitter, but this app is critical to that effort because it allows for two-way communication between the dispatch office and whoever is reporting the crime on the other end," Dean said.
The "LiveSafe" mobile application, which Dean said was designed by a former UNH student, is free to download to iPhones, smartphones and tablets.
"It's available to you whether you're a full-time student, or if you come onto campus one day a week, one day a year or you're just passing through," he said.
Dean said a lot of people are nervous about getting involved, especially in a potentially dangerous situation. The app allows a crime to be reported anonymously
"Students don't like to use the phone these days," he said. "They prefer to text, and this allows them to report a situation with a couple swipes of their fingertips."
It also provides a tactical advantage to responding officers, Dean said.
"It gives us the information we need that's missing, that we don't necessarily know going in," he said. "Plus, the reality is police can't be everywhere, so to me, this provides everyone the opportunity to get involved in making this campus safe, and I just think it's a good way for students to practice good public safety habits."

Tuesday Tip - Citing Sources vs Starting an Archives?
4 comments:
I, like you, started and had never heard of citations. Then about 2012 I did. I am citing now and I have found that elusive piece of paper with information and no idea where it came from.ReplyDelete
I am trying to sort it all out and think where I have been and what I found. Thank you for this post.
I want to let you know that your blog post is listed in today's Fab Finds post at http://janasgenealogyandfamilyhistory.blogspot.com/2014/03/follow-friday-fab-finds-for-march-21.html
Have a wonderful weekend!
I think the answer to this question also applies to individual family historians who inherit the possessions of parents and others. We need to learn the best ways to keep those thing safe. (Though, of course, in a public setting the safety or lack of it will effect more people.)ReplyDelete
Do professional archivists offer occasional pro bono services (as attorneys sometimes do) to help an organization with volunteers get a sound start?
Thanks for the links. I'll look into them.
Claudia, I totally understand. I did that, myself, very recently when going back through old research. It made me *sigh*, but it's part of the learning process.ReplyDelete
Jana, as always your so very kind! I love your list and am so appreciative when you include my blog.
Nancy, I sent you an email; to address your question publicly there is a rift in the Archives community because many, if not most, of the entry level jobs, that really should be done by beginning Archivists to strengthen their base of knowledge, are going to unpaid Interns or Volunteers. However, our reality is that the amount of funds available don't even support the Professional Archivists, so we're often put in the position of Sophie. Hopefully, the Volunteer Guide will help the Public better understand how to set up volunteer programs when they are needed to protect and preserve our history. Thanks for the great question and comment!

IT Management Slideshow: How To Retain Knowledge When Top Tech Talent Departs
Apple's Steve Jobs may be the highest-profile executive to take a medical leave of absence in recent memory, but he's certainly not the only one to do so. (Editor's update: Steve Jobs died Oct. 5, 2011, at age 56). The first members of the Baby Boomer generation hit age 65 in 2011. Since Baby Boomers (b. 1946-1964) make up 26 percent of the IT workforce, according to a 2010 report from staffing firm TekSystems, this means that potentially one quarter of your workforce could be nearing retirement age very soon. Are you making sure that valuable technical know-how and general institutional knowledge doesn't walk out the door with them? You'll be wise to launch a formal "technical talent management" program now in order to avoid the common, transitional mistakes that happen whenever your top tech talent departs, according to the book Invaluable Knowledge: Securing Your Company's Technical Expertise (Amacom/Available Now). Author William Rothwell explains that high-performing engineers, developers and other IT pros not only know all the details of the architecture, applications and processes that drive your company—oftentimes they invented these. A technical talent management program will enable you to capture as much institutional and operational information as possible from departing workers.

IP address ranges, or netblocks, are groups of related IP addresses. They are usually represented as a base IP address, followed by a slash, and then a netmask which represents how many IP addresses are contained within the netblock. This format is known as CIDR. You'll also sometimes see netblocks given as a start ip address, and an end ip address, or an ip address range.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — A new federal report says inmates at jails in Indianapolis, Baltimore, St. Louis and Philadelphia face the nation's highest levels of sexual abuse at the hands of guards.
The U.S. Department of Justice's report says the Marion County Jail in Indianapolis had the nation's highest rate of inmate sex abuse by staff. Its 7.7 percent abuse rate was well above the 1.8 percent average abuse rate among all jails based on inmate surveys from February 2011 to May 2012.
The Baltimore City Detention Center had the second-highest abuse rate by guards at 6.7 percent. The St. Louis Medium Security Institution and the Philadelphia City Industrial Correctional Center both had 6.3 percent abuse rates.
The report's authors surveyed inmates at 233 prisons, 358 local jails and 15 special correctional facilities.

You know, the Philadelphia sports media gets a bad rap sometimes. Too critical, too insensitive. A sort of ink-stained version of the local fandom. We'd probably write bad sentences about Santa Claus and throw horrible cliches at the Easter Bunny. That's the reputation.
The truth is that we are sometimes amazingly circumspect when it comes to understanding that some of our athletes have interesting private lives that have nothing to do with how they perform their jobs. So we don't go there. Off the field, unless there is a compelling reason, is off limits.
Well, that's only true until someone's wife-to-be begins to sell her own line of stripper poles. Then, I'm afraid, all bets are off.
Kendra Wilkinson, noted former girlfrield of that mad scamp Hugh Hefner, and afianced partner of Eagles wide receiver Hank Baskett -- they are set for a June 27 wedding at the Playboy mansion -- is, indeed, trying to sell you a stripper pole.
In an interview with US magazine, Kendra touted the pole as a fitness device, and who are we to argue? No indication if it's a living room item, or more appropriate somewhere else in the house, but when Hank runs a post pattern at home he'll have to be careful.
Kendra has her own reality show on the E! network that features her life with Hank, and probably some other decorating tips. It would be nice if Hank came home and discussed Andy Reid's offense, but there's no indication of anything like that.
According to Kendra, the show is a lot like I Love Lucy.
"A streeper pole? Kennnnndra, you got some splaining to do."
