The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) today announced $31.5 million in grants for 201 humanities projects. This funding will support a wide variety of projects, including the production and development of radio and television programs, digital scholarly resources, professional development for teachers and college faculty, and the development and staging of museum and library exhibitions. NEH grants will also help institutions improve and secure long-term support for their humanities programs and resources, and support state humanities council programs exploring significant events and themes in American history.
"The NEH grants announced today seek to discover, preserve, and share the stories that have shaped us," said NEH Chairman Jim Leach. "Whether through continuing education opportunities for teachers, public debates on issues of civility and democracy, or the development of digital scholarly and educational tools, these projects underscore the power of the humanities to enrich our understanding of our history, our society, and ourselves."
Among the grants announced are those that will enable the digitization of records of Delaware's industrial history and allow fifty community college faculty members to attend a workshop at Jackson State University on the 1968 Memphis Sanitation Workers Strike and its role in the civil rights movement.
Funding will also support digital textual analysis of 15 editions of the Encyclopedia Britannica, expanding our understanding of the development of concepts, ideas, and language, and will permit the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston to diversify its American art holdings. Other grants will support an interactive digital simulation of the experiences of Japanese Americans in wartime internment camps in the Arkansas Delta, and allow the Folger Library to mount a traveling exhibit on the history and influence of the King James Bible.
This funding cycle also marks the first grant awards as part of the NEH's new Bridging Cultures initiative, which supports projects that explore the ways in which cultures from around the globe, as well as the myriad subcultures within America's borders, have influenced American society. Projects receiving support through Bridging Cultures grants include a symposium at the National Constitution Center on the role of dissent and protest in American culture, and a public forum at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, on the influences of Islamic cultural and intellectual traditions on the development of Western humanist and scientific thought.
This award cycle, institutions and independent scholars in 41 states and the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, Northern Marianas, and the Virgin Islands will receive NEH support. Complete state-by-state listings of grants are available here.
Selected projects have received a We the People designation for their efforts to strengthen the teaching, study, and understanding of American history and culture. In this cycle, grants were awarded in the following categories:
- We The People Project Grants for State Humanities Councils support programs sponsored by state humanities councils that explore significant events and themes in American history and culture, and advance knowledge of the principles that define America.
- Digital Humanities Start-up Grants encourage innovations in the digital humanities by supporting the planning stages of projects that advance humanities research, education, preservation, access, and public programming through the use of technology.
- Summer Seminars and Institutes for College and University Teachers Grants support intensive two- to six-week projects in which fifteen to twenty-five college and university faculty members, working with scholarly experts, engage in collegial study of significant texts and topics in the humanities.
- Summer Seminars and Institutes for School Teachers Grants support intensive two- to six-week projects in which fifteen to thirty school teachers, working with scholarly experts, engage in collegial study of significant texts and topics in the humanities.
- Landmarks of American History and Culture: Workshops for School Teachers support a series of one-week workshops for K-12 educators that address central themes and topics in American history, government, literature, art history, and other humanities fields related to historic landmarks.
- Landmarks of American History and Culture: Workshops for Community College Faculty (WTP) support a series of one-week workshops, conducted by leading scholars, for community college educators in which participants study central issues in American history related to historic landmarks, enhancing both their knowledge and their ability to teach.
- America's Historical and Cultural Organizations: Planning & Implementation Grants support traveling or long-term museum exhibitions, library-based projects, interpretation of historical places or areas, websites, and other project formats that engage audiences in exploring humanities ideas and questions. Planning grants develop the content, interpretive approach, and formats of projects; implementation grants support their final development, design, and production.
- Interpreting America's Historic Places: Planning & Implementation Grants support public humanities projects that exploit the evocative power of historic places to explore stories, ideas, and beliefs that deepen our understanding of our lives and our world. Planning grants develop the content, format, and design of projects; implementation grants support the final preparation of a project for presentation to the public.
- America's Media Makers: Development & Production Grants support media projects, including radio, television, and digital technology projects, that explore significant events, figures, or developments in the humanities. Development grants enable media producers to collaborate with scholars to develop the humanities content and to prepare programs for production; production grants support the preparation of a program for distribution.
- Bridging Cultures: Planning and Implementation Grants for Academic Forums and Program Development Grants support the planning and implementation of an academic forum and workshop that explore the ways in which cultures from around the globe, as well as the myriad subcultures within America's borders, have influenced American society.
- NEH on the Road Grants help small sites defray the cost of hosting an NEH traveling exhibition.
- Challenge Grants strengthen the humanities by encouraging non-federal sources of support and helping institutions secure long-term improvements in and support for their humanities programs and resources. Recipients are required to match NEH funds on a three-to-one or, in some cases, two-to-one basis.

Amazon Drops the Price on Kindle, But Ads or No Ads, Don't Get Your Hopes Up for Free
Amazon has dropped the price of its latest generation of the Kindle by $25, hoping to attract a larger user base of people who will now be able to afford the e-reader.
But will the Kindle ever be free?
"It's not possible. The economics don't work," Jay Marine, a Kindle director said in an interview. "At $114, we think it is the best deal for a consumer electronic. We sell a lot of consumer electronics, so we should know it's a good deal."
What if it were tied to other offers, like Amazon Prime, which costs $79 a year and offers free two-day shipping and access to free streaming movies?
"I don't know how to do it. I would not get your hopes up," he added.
Three years ago, the first Kindle went on sale for $399, and each subsequent price drop led to a spike in sales.
Last year, when Amazon dropped the price to $139 for the Wi-Fi model and $189 for 3G, it became the company's best-selling product in history. What's more, robust sales helped catapult Kindle books to become the most popular format on the giant bookseller's site, surpassing hardback and even paperback books.
The new Kindle introduced today will cost $114 when it comes out on May 3. That's roughly the same price as 10 paperbacks. It will be sold by Amazon, Best Buy and Target.
Marine's comments aside, it appears Amazon is doing everything it can to bring the price of the device down. This time, it has squeezed another $25 out of the system with assistance from advertisers.
The Kindle at $114 will display full screen ads on the home screen, and a much smaller banner ad will appear at the bottom of the screen when using the menu. Ads will not appear inside books (and nothing changes for the more expensive Kindle models). Initial advertisers that have signed up include General Motors, Procter & Gamble and Visa.
At the new price point, the Kindle will inevitably attract a few more hold-outs. But without hitting the $99 sweetspot, it's questionable whether it will be enough for the masses, especially since it will now ship with advertisements. "We know price matters. We expect people to love it," Marine said.
To be sure, Amazon is trying to make the experience sound as painless as possible.
For starters, the Kindle with Special Offers will have the exact same hardware that's on sale at $139. It includes the same battery life, storage capacity and screen resolution.
And, the advertisements themselves are being sold less like a display banner and much more like a daily deal that a user has opted into, much like what Groupon and LivingSocial are offering today via email. The name "special offers" says it all. In fact, Amazon will offer $20 gift cards for $10, a near-identical deal to the one LivingSocial offered earlier this year, which led to more than one million sold.
Marine said there's no direct connection between LivingSocial and Amazon today despite the company's $175 million investment in the company.
Other specials include: $6 for six Audible books (normally $68), $1 for an album from Amazon MP3 Store and $10 for $30 of products in Amazon's Demin Shop. Users will also be able to help dictate what ads end up appearing on their homescreen by placing votes on a system Amazon calls the AdMash.
Not once has Amazon revealed how many devices it has sold, preferring to speak in vague terms, such as millions of sales, or Kindle sales eclipsing "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," the seventh book in the children's series.
Maybe that will change now that Amazon will have to respond to advertisers, who want to know the size of the audience it is reaching.
Nah, probably not.

Is Spotify Readying Launch Of Third-Party Apps For the iPhone?
Guest post by Eliot Van Buskirk of Evolver.fm.
We're somewhat obsessed with Spotify apps, because they let developers build all sorts of wacky stuff on top of a legally-licensed music library. This makes it possible for you to hear music in all sorts of new ways, whether you pay for it or not, thanks to Spotify's agreements with labels and publishers.
When we met with Spotify director of product Charlie Hellman at Spotify's New York headquarters earlier this year to check out the company's then-brand-new iPad app, we asked him if Spotify if the company was planning on rolling out third-party Spotify apps within its own smartphone app. He hinted that we were onto something.
For now, Spotify apps (not to be confused with Spotify-powered iOS apps, of which there are at least 47, and which run as separate programs rather than within Spotify itself), are only available on the desktop, for a number of reasons.
However, Evolver.fm recently received word from web developer Ethan Lee about some interesting files he turned up while snooping around the Spotify app with software that lets you peak inside your iPhone. What he found indicates that Spotify may have already built some of the architecture that would be required to roll out third-party apps within its iOS app:
I was recently digging through Spotify.app in my iPhone (using Phone Disk, which lets you mount your iOS filesystem as a volume in Finder), and I found a subfolder in its package contents labeled 'apps'. Further inspection revealed two files: 'api.spa,' and 'radio.spa'.
Unfortunately, I could not read the contents of either file (due to permissions issues, my reluctance to jailbreak, and only a free trial of Phone Disk), but '.spa' looks a lot like "Spotify App" to me. Radio is listed in the desktop client of Spotify as an app (although not in App Finder), so perhaps Spotify might be looking into rolling out its HTML 5 apps on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.
This might seem a bit tenuous, but given what Hellman told us in May — and given the clear market value of porting these apps into the mobile version of Spotify, not only to the company but to its app-building partners — we're inclined to believe it. After all, listeners to the desktop version of the apps racked up 1500 years of play time in the first three months they were available.
There's just one wrinkle: From what we understand, Apple bars iOS apps from including app stores within themselves, like some sort of Russian nesting doll. However, Spotify may have ironed that out — we would guess by making these third-party apps available as in-app purchases using Apple's own system. If Cupertino were to get a cut of these apps, why would it stop them from happening? Simple: It wouldn't.
Anyway, assuming our tipster really is onto something, as we suspect he is, what apps would be available within the iOS version of Spotify? For starters, they would likely include the same apps that are available on the desktop, including these:
- Spotify Apps Go 'Branded' with Intel, McDonalds
- Spotify Apps Focus on Radio, Concerts
- NME Launches Music Recommendation App For Spotify
- Spotify's First Artist Apps: Disturbed, Quincy Jones, Rancid, and Tiësto
- Spotify Apps Build Playlists From Lyrics, Radio
- Spotify Apps Offer Musical Love Connections
- Blur's Spotify app

NEW YORK -- At the 54th Annual Spirit of Pace Awards Dinner, held at the American Museum of Natural History in Manhattan, Pace University honored its president, Stephen J. Friedman, with the 2017 Leaders in Management Award.
Founded in 1962, the Leaders in Management Award Dinner was created to highlight the assistance Pace receives from its corporate partners. Proceeds from the dinner directly support both student scholarships and special projects on campus, including the newly-unveiled New York City Master Plan renovations.
During the evening's ceremonies, Friedman was specially recognized for his service to the University. "President Friedman has overseen a period of tremendous accomplishment and growth, one that has set the stage for Pace to reach new heights in the coming years," said Mark Besca '81, chairman, Pace Board of Trustees. "Thanks to his vision and commitment, Pace leads the way in educating the next generation of thinking professionals who will take the reins of the 21st century economy and form the executive, entrepreneurial and innovative class of tomorrow."
The seventh president of Pace, Friedman has led the university since his appointment in 2007. Prior to his presidency, he served as dean of Pace's Elisabeth Haub School of Law, beginning in 2004.
During his tenure, Friedman presided over the university's increased enrollment, establishment of new academic and study abroad programs, launch of significant renovations of the New York and Pleasantville campuses and built a solid financial foundation for advancing Pace's mission.
A former senior partner at Debevoise & Plimpton LLC, Friedman served as commissioner of the Securities and Exchange Commission, deputy assistant secretary of the Treasury and law clerk to Justice William Brennan at the Supreme Court of the United States. He also has an extensive background as a leader of nonprofit organizations.
Also recognized at the Awards Dinner was Dr. William Offutt, professor of History and faculty adviser of the Pforzheimer Honors College at Pace's New York City campus. A faculty member since 1990, he has taught classes on colonial and revolutionary America, the Civil War, constitutional history, and American women's history. An accomplished scholar, his book, "Patriots, Loyalists, and Revolution in New York City, 1775-1776," is part of a simulation game in the "Reacting to the Past" series, which has been adopted by dozens of colleges around the world.

There have been a slew of news reports lately that Legendary Pictures and Warner Bros., the combo responsible for the current remake of Clash Of The Titans, will be producing a new Godzilla movie for release in 2012.
It's kind of funny to see this. It's part of a story I've been following for the past few years. A guy named Yoshimitsu Banno -- named in the story linked above as one of the film's producers -- has been making the rounds in the US entertainment industry trying to get a new Godzilla project off the ground since at least the late 90s. Banno is an intriguing character. He is the only person to have directed just one Godzilla movie (not including the last US-made catastrophe in 1998). Most Godzilla movie directors get asked back after they do one movie. Banno apparently made the execs at Toho so mad they never asked him back.
Banno's Godzilla movie was 1971's Godzilla Vs. The Smog Monster, one of my personal all-time favorites of the series. It turns out that Banno didn't just pick a pollution-based monster as Godzilla's enemy because it was a trendy topic at the time. He was and is a big environmentalist. It has long been his dream to remake Godzilla vs The Smog Monster with a big budget as a way of calling attention to the serious environmental issues facing humanity today.
Apparently, Banno managed to purchase the rights to remake Smog Monster from Toho. But his efforts to get it going haven't been all that successful until now. Last I'd heard before this news came about was that he was trying to get a 15 minute Imax version made somewhere in South America. Or something like that...
ANYWAY, this all got me thinking that one of the FAQ's I get fairly often when I'm on tour from people who've read Zen Wrapped in Karma Dipped in Chocolate is, "What the heck ever happened with your job at the Godzilla company?" (which was not the company that made Godzilla, but was a company founded by the guy who invented Godzilla)
I left that unresolved at the end of the book because at the time I finished writing the book it was unresolved. What ended up happening is that I got fired. That's in the book, I think.
But then in September of 2008 I went to Japan to lead the annual Dogen Sangha retreat and scheduled a meeting with the company while I was there. It was at this meeting that they proposed for me to come back to Japan and work for them again at the Tokyo office.
I really hemmed and hawed on this one. I desperately wanted to return to Japan. I feel more at home there than I do anywhere else. And yet returning to my old job sounded unappealing. Besides that, Zen Wrapped in Karma was set to be released in the Spring of the following year and I wouldn't be in America to promote it if I took the job in Japan.
At the end of 2008 I had to make my official decision. So I moved in to the San Francisco Zen Center for three weeks, finished off the book, then called up Tokyo and told them I was staying in America. I officially quit.
And that's the story!
Remember that this weekend I'll be in Brooklyn at the Zen Center there running a retreat. There's still space available. All info is on this link here.
Then it's on to Baltimore and following that, Richmond, Virginia. All info is on the link referenced above.

After backlash, senators cancel meeting on immigration
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Architects of the Senate's immigration bill on Monday canceled a meeting that had been planned with business groups and other supporters to try to rally momentum for the legislation, in a sign of how difficult it will be to enact the reforms.
Democratic Senator Chuck Schumer, Republican Senator John McCain and other members of the "Gang of Eight" that shepherded a sweeping immigration bill through the Senate want to enlist business, labor and religious groups to help persuade members of the House of Representatives to back reform.
All members of the bipartisan group of senators except Republican Marco Rubio held a meeting with business groups last Tuesday to talk about strategy in the Republican-dominated House, where immigration reform faces strong resistance, especially for the pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants contained in the Senate bill.
But some of the business groups were uneasy with the strategy, which included trying to persuade more than 100 Republican House lawmakers to pass a comprehensive immigration bill.
A follow-up meeting was to have been held this Thursday but the senators canceled it, citing scheduling issues.
Several business representatives who participated in the meeting said they were concerned that the Senate's involvement would not play well in the House. Republican members of the House have repeatedly rejected the Senate's bill and are working on smaller enforcement and work-visa bills that do not include a path to citizenship for the 11 million illegal immigrants in the United States.
Some of the business groups "were outraged," said one lobbyist, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the talks were private. "Even if what (the senators) said was right, they know how unpopular they are in the House," the lobbyist said.
Other lobbyists who attended the meeting also said they had concerns.
House Republicans are deeply divided over how to rewrite the country's immigration laws and have no clear strategy or timeline for passing legislation that could eventually be merged with the Senate bill.
Lobbyists said the majority of the groups that participated in Tuesday's meeting had already been working with the House Republicans they thought could be persuaded and felt that the Senate's involvement could backfire.
Not everyone was comfortable with the Senate's approach and as a result some of the groups were not planning to attend the second meeting scheduled for Thursday because they did not think it would be useful, participants said.
A Democratic congressional aide said the meeting was canceled because of scheduling problems and that the senators would continue to work closely with immigration reform groups.
But even before the meeting was canceled, some participants said they did not plan to attend the second meeting because of concerns about the strategy.
Underscoring the difficult politics of the issue in the House, Republican Speaker John Boehner, in an interview with the CBS program "Face the Nation" on Sunday, refused to say whether he thought a bill should include a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants.
Boehner said taking a personal stand on the issue would make it harder for him to find consensus on immigration in the House.
"If I come out and say, 'I'm for this and I'm for that,' all I'm doing is making my job harder," Boehner said. "My job in this process is to facilitate a discussion and to facilitate a process."

The Weekly Source Code 55 - NotABlog: A Local XML-RPC MetaWebLog Endpoint That Lies To Windows Live Writer
My team has to write a lot. We write some blog posts, sure, but we also write a lot of tutorials for various sites. Right now the http://www.asp.net site runs on Umbraco, but MSDN runs on custom internal what-not, and there's other sites as well. The only common thread is HTML.
Sometimes someone will write a tutorial or document in Word, then try to get some HTML out of that, that will only ends in pain and suffering. We could use something like Markdown or Dreamweaver or Expression Web, or write the HTML ourselves, but we keep coming back to Windows Live Writer. No joke, for our workflow, WLW is the best blog editor out there.
It creates nice clean markup, and lets us stick to the basics, which for us are H1, P, PRE, UL, LI, ACRONYM, BLOCKQUOTE, IMG and not much more. It supports plugins for editing and coloring code (I use the PreCode plugin) and has very nice image handling features like Watermarks, resizing and linking to larger versions, etc. We would like to write everything in it.
Problem is, it doesn't include a Save As dialog. We could view|source and copy the HTML directly after we edit, but WLW uses temporary image links of a custom type while editing with names like $whatever.png and hides the images in temp files and opaque blobs.
NOTE: Windows Live Writer does support editing and publishing to the Blogger API, the MetaWeblog API and via AtomPub. AtomPub is the newest and most rigid, but I'm going to start by creating a MetaWeblog Server because I understand it and it's trivially lightweight. I'll try to follow this post up the with the same functionality except with AtomPub soon in order to juxtapose the two. Remember that MetaWeblog extends the Blogger API and is all about blogging and content. AtomPub isn't just about blogging, it's about editing anything. WLW is a blogging client that speaks AtomPub, but it's not a general AtomPub client.
So what I'm going to build is a small local "NotABlog" server that I can point Windows Live Writer to and fool it into thinking it's a blog. Then I'll effectively be able to Create, Read, and Update blog posts (HTML files and their associated images) that are sitting in a local publish folder.
This sample might be interesting to you and your organization (or the not-yet-written AtomPub version) because you could potentially put an endpoint in front of existing systems that you work on and enable business users to edit content with Windows Live Writer. WLW isn't too scary for business folks and it's a nice interface for updating existing custom content management systems that you might have lying around. Creating an editing endpoint for existing clients is a low-effort way to reinvigorate existing content management systems.
Many years ago (like 12) XML-RPC was created by Dave Winer and some Microsofties. It's not SOAP, it's literally remote procedure calls over HTTP with XML. There are other protocols built on top of XML-RPC, which are just interfaces. Effectively they are agreements that an endpoint will contain certain named methods with certain parameters.
The MetaWeblog API is an XML-RPC interface that Dave made that lets you edit weblog entries. It's older, but it's effectively universal. Here's an example of what an XML-RPC call looks like.
Charles Cook created an amazing and elegant library called XML-RPC.NET and has given it to the community. He's kept it working nicely such that I was able to get it working in my .NET 4.0 application without any modification even though I was using an older 220.127.116.11 version for .NET 1.0 in my first version. That's a testament to Charles' work. Later I downloaded the latest 2.4.0 from 2008 and it worked nicely also and fixed some bugs.
In 2008, Keyvan Nayyeri created a nice little MetaWeblog ASP stub in ASP.NET so I started building with that. I just return true in the ValidateUser method, because this is for local editing. I lie (return hard-coded stuff in a few places) to Windows Live Writer.
Here's what the interface looks like:
namespace NotABlog
public interface IMetaWeblog
#region MetaWeblog API
string AddPost(string blogid, string username, string password, Post post, bool publish);
bool UpdatePost(string postid, string username, string password, Post post, bool publish);
Post GetPost(string postid, string username, string password);
CategoryInfo[] GetCategories(string blogid, string username, string password);
Post[] GetRecentPosts(string blogid, string username, string password, int numberOfPosts);
MediaObjectInfo NewMediaObject(string blogid, string username, string password, MediaObject mediaObject);
#region Blogger API
[return: XmlRpcReturnValue(Description = "Returns true.")]
bool DeletePost(string key, string postid, string username, string password, bool publish);
BlogInfo[] GetUsersBlogs(string key, string username, string password);
UserInfo GetUserInfo(string key, string username, string password);
You just need to derive from Charles' XmlRpcService and he'll handle the routing of the HTTP POSTs and the calling of the methods and tearing apart of the parameters. (Actually, as a curiosity back in the ASP.NET MVC 1.0 timeframe both Phil and I write XmlRpcRoutes and supporting samples just to see if it was possible. It is.)
The idea is to catch the calls and just redirect them to the file system. Here's a simple example:
string IMetaWeblog.AddPost(string blogid, string username, string password,
Post post, bool publish)
if (ValidateUser(username, password))
string id = string.Empty;
string postFileName;
if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(post.title))
postFileName = Guid.NewGuid() + ".html";
postFileName = post.title + ".html";
File.WriteAllText(Path.Combine(LocalPublishPath, postFileName), post.description);
return postFileName;
throw new XmlRpcFaultException(0, "User is not valid!");
Go run it yourself if you like. Here's how.
Setting up your Local Publishing Endpoint
First, edit the web.config and change your local publish directory if you like. Currently it just puts posts in a folder .\LocalPublish in the current directory of your web application. Free free to change it. I put it in my desktop.
Since this is a web application, I need a Web Server to run it under. I didn't want to require Visual Studio or IIS to run it, so I figured I'd use IIS Express from WebMatrix to do it since it's free and you don't need to be Admin to run it (except on Win2k3). Install WebMatrix and you'll get IIS Express.
I created a batch file called StartNotABlog.bat and put this in it:
SET ExecPath=%ProgramFiles(x86)%
IF "%ExecPath%" == "" SET ExecPath = "%ProgramFiles%
"%ExecPath%\Microsoft WebMatrix\iisexpress.exe" /path:"%CD%" /port:12345
It's pretty straightforward and it'll work on both x86 and x64. It starts up a Web Server on port 12345 with the current directory (that the batch file is running in, not the environment's current directory) as the path.
Now, start up Windows Live Writer. Add a blog, select Other...
And select "Metaweblog API" as the type.
Put in http://localhost:12345/MetaWeblogAPI.ashx as the remote posting URL.
There's no username or password so just put in something.
Click Next and Finish and go edit a post! I'm using it now to edit a 3000 word tutorial on ASP.NET.
Not a Blog.zip. Download the Code and have fun playing with it. There's actually not much there but it's already changed how I do my job. Now the trick will be to show the bosses how easy it is to give anything an endpoint that WLW will talk to. Maybe this blog post will help. ;)

7cm mini CD in a small edition. What Steve does is process, this makes all his work strange and unusual. This is not music. But. This is: the engine of a Norwegian ferry is resonating through the hull, Steve records it, singing along enharmonically. Then he goes home and erases the ferry, keeping the voice. Then he replaces the ferry noise with bowed banjo, and this is the result.

How do I adopt the Eclipse 4 Application Platform?
Accessing the status line
|Eclipse 3.x
|Eclipse 4.0
getViewSite() .getActionsBars() .getStatusLineManager() .setMessage(msg);
@Inject IStatusLineManager statusLine; ... statusLine.setMessage(msg);
Associating help context with a control
getSite() .getWorkbenchWindow() .getWorkbench() .getHelpSystem().setHelp( viewer.getControl(), some_id)
@Inject IWorkbenchHelpSystem helpSystem; ... helpSystem.setHelp( viewer.getControl(), some_id);
Handling errors and exceptions
try { ... } catch (Exception ex) { IStatus status = new Status( IStatus.ERROR, "plugin-id", "Error while ...", ex); StatusManager.getManager() .handle(status, StatusManager.SHOW); }
@Inject StatusReporter statusReporter; ... try{ ... } catch (Exception ex) { statusReporter.show("Error while ...", ex); }
Accessing preference values
IPreferenceStore store = IDEWorkbenchPlugin.getDefault() .getPreferenceStore(); boolean saveBeforeBuild = store .getBoolean(SAVE_BEFORE_BUILD);
@Inject @Preference(SAVE_BEFORE_BUILD) boolean saveBeforeBuild;
IPreferenceStore store = IDEWorkbenchPlugin.getDefault() .getPreferenceStore(); store.putBoolean(SAVE_BEFORE_BUILD, false);
@Inject @Preference(SAVE_BEFORE_BUILD) Provider<Boolean> saveBeforeBuild; ... saveBeforeBuild.set(false);
Why won't my application start?
E4AP products require having the following plugins:
- org.eclipse.equinox.ds (must be started)
- org.eclipse.equinox.event (must be started)
Note that org.eclipse.equinox.ds must be explicitly started. In your product file, you should have a section:
<configurations> <plugin id="org.eclipse.core.runtime" autoStart="true" startLevel="2" /> <plugin id="org.eclipse.equinox.ds" autoStart="true" startLevel="3" /> <plugin id="org.eclipse.equinox.event" autoStart="true" startLevel="3" /> </configurations>
Dependency Injection & Contexts
What services are available for injection?
See the list of provided services
How can I override a provided object?
FIXME For example, to provide an alternative StatusReporter or Logger
How do I provide singleton objects?
Typical E4AP applications have a single injector, accessible through org.eclipse.e4.core.di.InjectorFactory#getDefault(). Within this injector, any class or interface annotated with the javax.inject.Singleton will be treated as a singleton instance.
Another approach is to use a IContextFunction that checks and sets a value in the top context.
FIXME: Can the injector also be configured to bind @Singleton to a particular class?
Why am I getting a new instance of an object?
The injector attempts to resolve objects in the context. If they are not found in the context, but the class exists, then the injector will instantiate and return a new instance providing that its injectable dependencies can be resolved.
Why is my widget/part not displaying? Why am I getting a new Shell?
The fix is to annotate the use with "@Named(ACTIVE_SHELL)".
Why am I being injected with null?
Typically null values are only injected when an argument or field is marked as @Optional. But a null value will be injected if the value has previously been explicitly set to null in the context.
For example, the valueChanged() method will be injected with null:
@PostConstruct public void init(IEclipseContext context) { context.set("value", null); } @Inject public void valueChanged(@Named("value") String selection) { // ... }
Why aren't my parts being injected with my value set from my bundle activator?
The context obtained using
EclipseContextFactory.getServiceContext(bundleContext) is completely dissociated from the context created for an application in
E4Application. If you want to populate a context such that a part can be injected, you either need to use an addon or an
What is the difference between IEclipseContext#set and IEclipseContext#modify?
public class MyPart { @Inject IEclipseContext context; ... private void repositoryChanged(IRepository repository) { // set the variable "repository" in this part's context: the value is only visible to // this part and any children context.set("repository", repository); // search up the context stack to see if the variable exists in one of the the context's // ancestors; otherwise it does a set in the specified context context.modify("repository", repository); } ... }
A placeholder can be made for #modify with IEclipseContext#declareModifiable() or a <variable> declaration in an Application.e4xmi.
What's the difference between the xmi:id and elementId?
The xmi:id are unique identifiers are internal to EMF and used for resolving model-level references between objects, similar to a memory reference. The elementIds are Eclipse 4 identifiers and serve to provide a well-known name to an object. '
Unlike EMF's xmi:id identifiers, which are expected by EMF to be unique, Eclipse 4's elementIds do not necessarily have to be unique. For example, it may make sense for every part stack containing editors to have elementId editor-stack (though we might instead recommend using a tag). Some elementIds are expected to be unique for particular uses. For example, an MCommands elementId serves as the unique command identifier.
How do I enable Drag N Drop (DND) of parts?
The DND addon is found in the org.eclipse.e4.ui.workbench.addons.swt plugin. However it requires the compatibility layer and is not available for native E4AP applications.

SUPerFISHal helps accomplish an SUP fishing "first!"
Categories: Featured, Featured Post, Fishing, Fishing Reports, Reports, Saltwater, Saltwater Fishing, SUPerFISHal
I look around at all of the great Jackson Kayak athletes and anglers and realize I am blessed to be among a set of people who are out pioneering their niche of fishing and paddling; they take their craft to places people never would have thought possible. Eric and Dane Jackson along with Nick and Emily (Jackson) Troutman, Clay Wright, Ben Stookesberry and Rafa Ortiz on the whitewater side of things are always blowing me away with what they're able to accomplish.
Kayak fishing may not seem as extreme as whitewater kayaking, but there are a lot of "firsts" and ways we can certainly push the limits of what can be accomplished on a kayak. The Jackson Kayak fishing team is full of fishermen and fisherwomen who are all pushing the limits of where we can go and what we can catch in our kayaks or paddleboards! This past spring I had a mission in mind to pull off one of the "firsts" while using our new stand-up paddleboard – the SUPerFISHal.
I've been learning how to fish the beautiful Florida Keys for about a year and a half now, ever since myself and the team at Jackson Kayak decided to make some real big water and salt water friendly fishing kayaks. Through the help of our team member who guides kayak fishing tours in the keys, Randy Morrow, I have learned a lot about the "flats species." The main flats fish that we target are bonefish, permit, tarpon and redfish. However, the crowning jewel of all and the most difficult fish to sight fish on the flats is by far the permit. I don't know of the exact number, but it is quite possible that only about 10 or 15 people have ever caught a permit off of a kayak; as far as I, or anyone I have asked knew no one had caught one off of a paddleboard.
My goal this past trip, in April, was to catch my first off an SUP and hopefully be one of the "firsts" to catch a permit off of a stand up paddleboard (SUP). In a day, with the right wind conditions, and if you're in the right spot, you may be fortunate to see one or two permit. However the hard part is seeing them and making sure it is indeed a permit so you know which rod/reel to pick up to cast with. If you throw the wrong bait to a permit, it won't eat. It is easy at first to mistake any fish you see for a permit because there are so many fish that do roam the flats – barracuda, sharks, jack crevele, bonefish, tarpon, redfish. If you are fortunate enough to actually see a permit, you likely have 3-5 seconds to make a cast to it before it sees you or you spook it off by making even the slightest noise. If you bang the side of your boat with your push pole, paddle or even have too much paddle drip coming off your paddle then you will scare the permit off. They have incredible hearing and eyesight and to make matters worse they don't swim anywhere in a straight line, so it's hard to know where to cast! Yes, they are very ADHD! Just think of the concentration it takes to be on the water all day, for several days, only to have it all come down to a couple 3-5 second moments that either make or break your chance at this fish, and possibly your entire trip, planning etc. Challenging is not even a word that describes this task!
On April 3rd all the conditions were adding up to be a pretty good permit day – wind was calm, sun was high, tides were just right and the water temp had warmed up enough for them to really get onto the flats. I hit the water with Randy Morrow, Brooks Beatty, Jameson Redding, Alex Tejada and Esteban Guttierez, all members of the Jackson Kayak fishing team. I had rigged up a really cool poling platform on my Jackson Kayak SUPerFISHal and had an incredible view from on high where I could see fish very well.
I had seen 3 permit already and couldn't connect with any of them for reasons I've already mentioned above. I thought I had missed my opportunity on such a perfect day. However, in the afternoon I saw one more in some moderately windy afternoon conditions. Many times a moderate 10-15mph wind can help because it allows you some time before they see or sense your presence. Of course it can make boat control and seeing in the water very difficult as well. In this case I saw the fish and gently laid my YakAttack 12-foot push pole down and picked up my rod with a small live blue crab on it (about the only thing you can get permit to eat consistently). I had one shot at making the right cast. I grabbed my Daiwa Certate reel and made the perfect cast about 5-7 feet away from where it was facing. Sure enough the fish bit and the fight was on!
I was standing on top of my platform, on an SUP, about 30 inches off of the water fighting this fish – it was awesome! It took about 10 minutes or so to land this beautiful permit and it was cool to look back andthink that I am most likely one of the first to catch one off of a paddleboard. It wasn't a giant (they can reach 50lbs!) but it was still a very solid permit that I am super proud of.
I love achieving new goals, exploring new water and catching new fish that provide the next personal first or a new challenge. Similarly, it's cool to be a part of a brand that keeps innovating and pioneering new advances in kayak fishing because the challenge of "firsts" and pushing the limits on what we can all do is what keeps things interesting. I hope this article pumps you up to take on your next challenge or "first;" I know I'm already thinking about my next "first!"
If fishing in the Keys and trying to catch some of these fish of a lifetime on a kayak is something you think you'd want to do, then I would suggest calling Randy up at 305-923-4643. Then, I'd ring Parmers Resort at 305-872-2157 because it is the perfect place to stay since they have amazing accommodations right on the water and give discounts to kayak anglers (just mention my name) and are so close to the good fishing, restaurants and your kayak fishing guide, Randy. Just being there in such a warm beautiful environment is well worth the trip!
Here are ALL the photos of this very historic permit! Enjoy!

Council reveals new city brand
'Gold Coast - full stop' - this is the the city's new slogan, made public today by Gold Coast Mayor Tom Tate.
- Print page
- Email this
- Permalink
Cr Tate says the slogan and logo represent a city "that's forward thinking, vibrant, warm, connected and balanced."
He adds it "has been designed to reflect a proud, unapologetic, independent city that offers opportunity and lifestyle."
"It boldly communicates that we are unique," he says.
"By presenting a singular Gold Coast brand covering Gold Coast City Council, Gold Coast Tourism and a number of other business entities, we are giving our city greater impetus to strengthen its reputation."
The new branding will also form part of the new City Plan.
Cr Tate says this new plan is still being finalised but will outline how the city wants to be viewed by the world in 2020.
"It will encapsulate what we love about our city and what we aspire to be - it will be built on the values that unite us as a vibrant, forward thinking city. It will reflect our warmth, our unique lifestyle balance and sense of connection."
The announcement comes after mysterious red dots have been appearing around town this week, teasing residents about the new campaign.
Ironman Trevor Hendy is an ambassador for the new brand.
"Generally the whole campaign - the idea is to highlight that the Gold Coast is the Gold Coast, full stop. It means a lot of things to a lot of people but it really is a place of its own and we've been around long enough now to say 'we are the Gold Coast, full stop'.
"Having travelled around Australia and the world, what I love about the Gold Coast is that on one side we've got the Pacific Ocean fringing up against the edge of the coast, and not far to the west we have the hinterland - a stunning, spectacular, world-class hinterland. So you've got this narrow strip of land that cuts between the two.
"You've got the energy from the land and the energy from the ocean, and in the middle you've got this representation of life - things are fast moving in places, and slow moving in others."
He says that anywhere you go on the Gold Coast you can have a different experience.
"You can say 'I love this part, and I don't like this part' - there is a balance, there's something for everyone, that's what I love about it."
As for the negative attention on the Gold Coast, Trevor says such opinions have always been around but as far as he is concerned "there is no doubt that when the sun comes up and you stand in the middle of Surfers Paradise, you look around and you are awe-inspired because this is just an amazing city."
What do you think of the new branding and city plan?

HOLLYWOOD, July 30 (UPI) -- Gwyneth Paltrow says exercise and a $185 sonic infusion gadget have helped her stay in movie-star shape as she pushes 40.
Paltrow said in her latest fan newsletter the Clarisonic Opal Sonic Infusion is a "wonder gadget" that has become standard in her beauty regime.
"It focuses on fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes by infusing the skin with anti-aging serum," she wrote.
US magazine said this week the 38-year-old Paltrow's arsenal also includes foundations, sun screens and various scrubs for "beach ready skin."
All that work appears to have paid off. Paltrow has Coldplay front man Chris Martin as her main squeeze these days. But her good looks apparently haven't gotten her past the band's artistic boundaries. People magazine said Paltrow jokingly tweeted this week about who she would have to sleep with "to get an advance copy of the new Coldplay album. I mean, really."

text: Hello my name is Susie Hawkins, I am a Painter, Sculptor and Graphic designer.I paint mostly in Acrylics, but I use oils and other mediums too. Painting is my passion. I can totally immerse myself in my own world and create where I want to be, away from the hustle and bustle of city life. Predominantly a landscape artist for the past 19 years, I work from palette to canvas using no sketches and create straight from the mind.My sculptures are all made from 99% recycled materials. The 1% is the paint and glue that I buy. All made from household rubbish we would normally throw away. For example, plastic, cardboard, paper and tin cans. My aim is to show how you can recycle your waste in an interesting and creative way which is not only fun, but good for the environment too. I am also a graphic designer. I love photography, its away for me to create those images I can not always capture on canvas. Although I have been known to try ;) I hope you enjoy the Journey as much as I have enjoyed creating it.Regards Susie. (Little Heaven Workshop)

As women, if most of us are honest with ourselves we can admit that we are simply AFRAID when it comes to starting over. Why is it so hard for us to push the reset or redo button and just startover? When it comes to starting a new life,moving to a new location, breaking off the old relationship,starting a new relationship,or starting a new job,most women are afraid. Petrified probably better describes it. These are simple examples of what makes most of us afraid but truth is when something makes us step out on faith or stretches us to our limit that's we need to tap into moving to the next level and not let fear consume our abilities to be successful.
I remember one time God gave me the vision of hosting an event for sexual abuse, domestic violence and breast cancer awareness. I later called this event I Survived! but it was so many things that went into this event that I wasn't comfortable with like sharing the secret of being abused in my first marriage and being a victim of molestation at age 11 by a family member. Although I was a victim of domestic violence and sexual abuse but I wasn't quite ready to share that on a platform yet. This is one moment when I knew I needed to face my fear. One thing that I've started to ask myself when I have my fearful moments is what's the worst that can happen? When you answer those questions then allow yourself to move forward without fear.
This is somewhat an old saying about fear but it really holds true: Fear is False Evidence Appearing Real.
Never allow fear to rob you of being the better person that you are or can be.

The Fellowship (FAGD) and Mastership (MAGD) Awards are two of the most rigorous continuing dental education programs today. They help your dentist stay up to date on the most current dental procedures in order to offer you the highest quality of care.
FAGD: A general dentist who is a "Fellow" in the Academy of General Dentistry (FAGD) has been recognized by other general dentists as a leader and exemplifies to other dentists the importance of quality continuing dental education. To earn the FAGD, a dentist must complete a minimum of 500 continuing dental education credit hours, pass a comprehensive exam and have been an AGD member for three continuous years.
MAGD: A general dentist who has earned the designation of "Master" of the AGD (MAGD) has completed a structured and demanding set of requirements. To attain the MAGD, your dentist must first be a Fellow in the AGD. Your dentist must then earn an additional 600 approved continuing education hours (including 400 hours of hands-on courses), while meeting minimum requirements in certain dental disciplines.

Shrimp and Pineapple Skewers with Garlic and Cilantro Drizzle
Diane Morgan
Grill Every Day: 125 Fast-Track Recipes for Weeknights at the Grill
Published by Chronicle
These colorful, easy-to-prepare shrimp skewers make a delightful main course. The garlic and cilantro drizzle slicks the shrimp and pineapple, making every bite a fusion of flavor. Accompany the skewers with rice or with Lemon Couscous with Dried Cranberries and Apricots. The skewers would also be a great appetizer for a big backyard party; just double or triple the recipe to serve a crowd.

Type of Dishskewer
- 8 (10-Inch) bamboo skewers, soaked in water for 15 minutes, then drained
- 1 pound large shrimp (26/30 count). Peeled and deveined tails removed
- 2 red bell peppers, seeded, deribbed, and cut into 1-inch squares (about 24 pieces)
- ½ pineapple, peeled, halved, cored, and cut into 1-inch cubes (about 24 pieces)
- 6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
- ½ tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1½ tablespoons minced fresh cilantro
- ½ teaspoon kosher or sea salt
- ½ teaspoon sugar
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
Immerse the skewers before lighting the grill so they have plenty of time to soak. Prepare a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill or preheat a gas grill on medium-high.
To assemble the skewers, pinch a shrimp into a horseshoe shape and thread it onto a skewer, piercing it once near the tail end and again near the head end.
Follow with a square of red pepper and a cube of pineapple. Repeat the lineup three more times, then load the remaining 7 skewers the same way. Arrange the skewers on a rimmed baking sheet and brush them with olive oil. Set aside.
While the grill is heating, prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, combine the 6 tablespoons olive oil, the lime juice, garlic, cilantro, salt, sugar, and pepper. Stir to mix, and set aside.
Oil the grill grate. Fold a footlong piece of aluminum foil in half lengthwise and lay it on the grill grate. Arrange the skewers so the exposed bamboo is protected from the flame by the foil and the food is directly over the medium-hot fire. Use 2 pieces of foil if necessary.
Grill on one side until light grill marks appear on the shrimp and the pineapple begins to caramelize, about 3 minutes. Turn and grill until the shrimp turn pink on the outside and are just opaque on the inside, about 3 minutes longer.
Arrange 2 skewers on each warmed dinner plate, and drizzle the garlic and cilantro sauce over the skewers. Serve immediately.

Last week we learned that Sean Rodriguez had punched a locker during a verbal confrontation with a teammate on the Durham Bulls. The result was a broken right hand, a trip to the DL, and possibly the end of his season.
And now Marc Topkin has shed some more light on just what happened and who the confrontation was with (a current Rays teammate) and if things are cool now (they are most certainly not). Take it away Marc (TampaBay.com)…
Sean Rodriguez admitted that the frustration that led him to breaking his right hand at Triple-A Durham was the result of what he considered disrespectful actions by Dane De La Rosa…The two are again teammates with the Rays, with De La Rosa called up Wednesday. Rodriguez said there "definitely" are still issues, but he will be professional about it and not create any disturbances in the clubhouse…"I'm trying to avoid him as much as possible."
Ahh yes. It all makes perfect sense now. Hot Rod punched a locker and broke his hand because he was disrespected *head hits desk*. Soooo, what did De La Rosa say? He must have called Rodriguez' mom a whore or something like that, right? I mean, that would probably piss off a lot of guys. And it would be a good reason to still be steaming two weeks later.
Rodriguez would not get into specifics over what led him to punch a locker after the Aug. 26 game, except to say it was how De La Rosa reacted when Rodriguez said something about the song being played in the (winning) clubhouse.
And the hits just keep onnnnnn comin'! So Rodriguez didn't like the song being played. He said something. And De La Rosa didn't bow down and respect the opinion of the seasoned Major League veteran and his sense of entitlement.
Go onnnnn…
"How do you disrespect somebody without touching them? You say things or talk in a manner that's very disrespectful," Rodriguez said. "In a baseball clubhouse people do that all the time. But when you turn to ask somebody, 'Are you being serious right now?' the way someone's tone is, the way they're talking to you and they either just smirk or ignore you leads you to believe one or the other, right?
Wait. Let's see if I am following this correctly: Bulls win game thanks in large part to Rodriguez hitting a home run > Music is being played in the clubhouse > Rodriguez hears it > It is One Direction and not Justin Bieber so Rodriguez gets upset > Rodriguez says something about Directioners being jealous of Beliebers > De La Rosa says something that players say in the clubhouse "all the time" > Rodriguez asks if De La Rosa is serious > De La Rosa ignores Rodriguez, possibly sensing he is upset and not wanting to escalate such an idiotic argument > Rodriguez punches locker.
Oh, well why didn't he say so in the first place. That seems understandable *head hits desk again*.
But I suppose we can appreciate that things didn't get worse considering how disrespectful things got. Sean?
"So instead of me normally doing what I normally would have done in the past, which is basically just to go and do a lot of things to him, I tried to exert my energy and frustration elsewhere to try to let it go. Bad job of trying to deal with it."
Ahhh, Rodriguez, in an effort to pile more maturity on top of the rest of this mature situation wants us to know that he would have totally kicked De La Rosa's ass. Because he's totally kicked ass before. Lots of times. Because he is a baddddd man.

'Deadbeat' Texas parents owe nearly $11 billion in child support
About one million parents across Texas are required to pay child support, but 460,000 were delinquent last year by at least a month or more on payments meant to help their children.
In Harris County, an average of 42 percent, or at least 4 of 10 parents ordered to pay child support are past due; in Bexar County, 43 percent; in Dallas County, 46 percent, based on the latest records provided by Texas Attorney General's Office.
And despite aggressive enforcement efforts, the cost to children over the years carries a staggering price tag: nearly $11 billion left unpaid.
State and national authorities say a fluctuating economy and erratic jobless rates are taking a toll on parents who pay child support, though some simply defy orders to pay up. Delinquencies appeared to peak in 2009.
Ultimately, the hardship falls to the custodial parent's children, who rely on the money to make ends meet.
"Consistent complete child support is critical for most families. When the support is not paid or is incomplete or late, the rent or house payment, car payment or food and school expenses suffer. Late fees accrue on rent and autos and the downward spiral continues," said Terry Elizondo, a Houston attorney specializing in family law.
The U.S. Administration for Children and Families estimates that $10.8 billion was past due in Texas at the start of 2011, and the amount continues to grow.
Collection methods
The government typically collects from unwilling parents by withholding wages, tax refunds, lottery winnings or suspending professional licenses. The enforcement resulted in $3.5 billion recovered from current and past due accounts as of August, an increase from $2 billion six years ago.
"We have seen our caseload increase because more parents have applied for enforcement services, perhaps because of custodial parents' reduced earnings due to the economy. We also saw parents who pay child support apply for downward modification," said Janece Rolfe, spokeswoman for the attorney general's child support division.
Most-wanted evaders
One of the state's most wanted evaders is Tomas Roman, a 60-year-old bus driver and laborer who owes more than $179,000 to his two sons and is believed to have absconded to Mexico.
"What qualifies as an evader is we don't know where they are, because they have gone underground or they disappeared," said Carol Campbell, an assistant attorney general for child support. "We believe, one, they could be dead, or they could live somewhere and changed their identities, and they work to get the money paid under the table so we can't find them."
The vast majority of custodial parents are women, and in Texas 48 percent of single mothers live in poverty, according to recent census data.
Maria Anaya, the former wife of Roman, has hardly received a penny for the years she raised her two sons after her divorce. She said she worked more than 60 hours a week in two jobs - as an electronics assembler and a cleaning supervisor.
His child support bills date back to 1988 and, as of 2001, Roman owed $120,000 in child support.
"He has never paid nothing," said Anaya. "My sons' lives would have been a lot easier, so would mine."
Jailed but didn't pay
In 2003, police stopped him for a traffic violation and jailed him for failure to pay support. He served 180 days in the Harris County Jail - but still didn't pay.
Anaya has never seen him again.
Besides Roman, other top evaders sought by the Texas Attorney General's Office include:
* John Lowry, a 53-year-old upholstery worker and windshield repairman from San Antonio who owes $74,196 for three kids.
* General laborer Anthony Palmer, 36, from Lubbock, who accrued debts of $33,589 for his child.
* And 43-year-old Michelle Falco, from Dallas, who owes $51,204 for two children and was last seen in Illinois.
Roman's two sons are grown now. Dominic Roman just finished a college degree in criminal justice because he once hoped the knowledge could help him find his father.
His brother Albert has opened his own business and is going to be a dad himself in three months. "I guess the most important thing for parents to do is to be present with your kids," said Albert.
Effect on children
Experts say parents' delayed or incomplete support leaves irreversible consequences on children.
"Children are already going through a lot of stress when parents separate. When you add the potential financial hardship or parents' enmity … it becomes very tough on a child," said Bob Sanborn, president of Children At Risk, an advocacy group for children and education.

The Supreme Court will decide whether a law making it a crime to lie about having received military medals is constitutional.
The justices said Monday they will consider the validity of the Stolen Valor Act, which passed Congress with overwhelming support in 2006. The federal appeals court in California struck down the law on free speech grounds and appeals courts in Colorado, Georgia and Missouri are considering similar cases.
The Obama administration is arguing that the law is reasonable because it only applies to instances in which the speaker intends to portray himself as a medal recipient. Previous high court rulings also have limited First Amendment protection for false statements.
The court almost always reviews lower court rulings that hold federal laws unconstitutional.
The case concerns the government's prosecution of Xavier Alvarez of Pomona, Calif. A member of the local water district board, Alvarez said at a public meeting in 2007 that he was a retired Marine who received the Medal of Honor, the nation's highest military decoration. In fact, he had never served in the military.
He was indicted and pleaded guilty with the understanding that he would challenge the law's constitutionality in his appeal. He was sentenced under the Stolen Valor Act to more than 400 hours of community service at a veterans hospital and fined $5,000.
A panel of the San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals voted 2-1 to strike down the law. The majority said there is no evidence that lies such as the one told by Alvarez harm anybody and no compelling reason to make a crime out of them.
In a dissent, Judge Jay Bybee said his colleagues should have followed previous Supreme Court rulings holding that false statements are not entitled to First Amendment protection.
The appeals court refused the government's request to have the case heard again by a larger group of judges. Chief Judge Alex Kozinski, agreeing with the majority, said people often tell lies about themselves in day-to-day social interactions. He said it would be "terrifying" if people could be prosecuted for merely telling lies.
But seven appellate judges said they would have heard the case, suggesting that Alvarez's conviction should have been upheld.
The law had been the latest congressional effort to try to keep people from wearing medals they did not earn. But it was the first time that lawmakers made it a crime for someone to claim falsely that he had been awarded a medal.
The law has led to dozens of arrests at a time when veterans coming home from wars in Afghanistan and Iraq are being embraced as heroes. Many of the cases involve men who were not accused of trying to profit from their claims. Almost everyone convicted under the law has been ordered to perform community service.
Arguments will take place early next year.
The case is U.S. v. Alvarez, 11-210.

Sen. Ron Johnson: Hillary Planned to Get "Emotional"
Following his heated exchanges with Hillary Clinton earlier today, Republican Sen. Ron Johnson is now accusing Clinton of planning an "emotional" response to "get out of the questions."
Isn't it great that Republicans are so amazingly predictable? I mean, it's such a stereotype that one of these old white guys would immediately go out and brag that he put the uppity emotional woman in her place. You'd think they would learn at some point that it makes them look like total cavemen, but they do it every single time, like clockwork.
Ron Johnson tells me and @bennyjohnson that Hillary planned to get emotional to evade questions. buzzfeed.com/mckaycoppins/r…

Undercover surveillance and strict curfew enforcement are part of a heightened Warren police initiative targeting after-school violence near two schools.
The measures are aimed at students attending Lincoln High School and Lincoln Middle School in the Van Dyke Public Schools, where troublemakers have caused problems in surrounding neighborhoods, city officials said.
'Our police will be taking actions to make the neighborhoods safer in that area,' Warren Mayor James Fouts said in a prepared statement announcing the six-point plan.
The anti-violence crackdown will occur in areas along Van Dyke Avenue, from Eight Mile Road to Stephens Road. It will include:
- The Special Operations Unit, a plainclothes team, will be deployed from 2-10 p.m. near Lincoln High to strictly enforce traffic laws, the city's loitering ordinance and monitor misbehavior outside the school.
- Traffic officers will monitor vehicles for speeding and other violations, primarily on side streets.
- A patrol unit will be deployed from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m., targeting juveniles with a 'zero tolerance' approach.
- Strict enforcement of Warren's parental responsibility law, in which adults can be charged with a misdemeanor for their minor children who commit a delinquent act. The ordinance also requires parents to keep illegal drugs and firearms out of homes and to prevent access to legal firearms by minors; prevent minors from committing vandalism; and to prevent juveniles from possessing stolen property and narcotics, alcohol and guns.
- Increased general patrols in the area when those officers are not dispatched to specific emergencies or other incidents.
- Commanders from the patrol division and the detective bureau will contact business owners for a meeting to hear their concerns about crime.
The Special Operations team was directed to Lincoln High last school year following an increase in 'disruptive' and criminal behavior. From April to June, police identified 35 gang members, issued 56 violations and made 19 arrests, three of which involved guns. Since September, police have issued 22 tickets, recorded four arrests, and issued several warnings to get students under control, the mayor said in the prepared statement. Most occurred after the final school bell.
A phone message left Thursday for Fouts seeking additional comment was not immediately returned.
Thus far, the Warren police school resource officer assigned to the Van Dyke Public Schools has issued 53 violations for fighting - a sum that the mayor said is much higher than other school districts in the city.
Fouts has blasted school district officials about the violence. He accused Superintendent Joseph Pius of being in denial about school violence after they met this year.
Pius declined to comment Thursday on Fouts' anti-violence program and the heightened police presence.
Van Dyke Public Schools has 2,799 students and includes a portion of southern Warren and southern Center Line.

GT/RA?Titans Fall In District Opener
HULL?- The post season started and ended in one game for the Titans of Graettinger-Terril/Ruthven-Ayrshire on Thursday night, Feb. 14. The Titans squared off against Trinity Christian of Hull in the first-round of Class 1A District boys basketball and came up on the wrong end of a 52-38 loss to end their season with an 8-14 mark.
The tournament outing was the third time this season that the Titans had met up with Trinity Christian, falling by a 41-66 tally back in December and a much closer 51-59 loss in late January.
Thursday night, Coach Randy Hough's Titans came out firing and stayed right with Trinity Christian through the first quarter, trailing 14-13 at the end of the first eight minutes of action.
But in the second quarter, Trinity Christian started to edge away on some good outside shooting, taking a 29-23 lead into the locker room at the half-time break.
The Titans would match Trinity bucket-for-bucket during the third quarter of the contest, staying within striking distance but trailing 39-32 at the end of the third quarter of the contest.
But in the final quarter, Trinity Christian began pulling away from the Titans, using long-range shooting and overpowering the Titan defense to put the game out of reach and end GT/RA's season in the 52-38 final decision.
Connor Sturgill would earn the double-double in the loss for the Titans with 13 points and 16 rebounds, while Austin Dyer added 13 points to the effort. Marcus Girres came away with five points, while Andy Geelan chipped in three points and handed out six assists. Trevor Hagedorn and Mason McGrauth would both add two points each to the Titans' tally.
