Xtext, Robots and Quirk Busters in San Francisco
by Jan Köhnlein (firstname.lastname@example.com) at March 06, 2015 09:13 AM
This year I will be pretty busy: As some of my colleagues unfortunately cannot make it, I took over their sessions, resulting in one talk or tutorial per conference day. And as we decided to bring our XRobots game to our booth, that will likely keep me occupied for the rest of the conference. But I am really looking forward to it!
On Monday morning, Holger and me are giving a tutorial on Xtext for Beginners. Remember to bring your Laptop, as you are going to get your hands dirty implementing your first domain-specific language to create a Web-Application. Harbour A - Monday, 09:00 to 12:00.
On Tuesday, I am going to tell you why it is hard to integrate diagram editors with Xtext or an existing text-based IDE, and show how you can improve the user experience of a combined textual and graphical IDE. I will use FXDiagram, a framework that focuses on UX and keeping the developer in charge. It has made made great progress recently, so it is ready for adoption. Diagrams, Xtext and UX, Grand Peninsula EFG - Tuesday, 14:15 to 14:50
Wednesday is Xtext Day, an entire track exclusively on Xtext. I am going to substitute Moritz in the talk on Scoping, Linking and Indexing. From my experience, this is one of the first hurdles a language implementer has to take when using Xtext. Bayside AB - Wednesday, 15:00 to 15:35
XRobots is a robot sumo fight game. Players can challenge each other in writing the best script to push the opponent off the ring or tip him over. We are providing the game almost during the entire conference at our booth. All you need to participate is a web browser and some ambition to win :-) It has already been a huge success at EclipseCon Europe and Devoxx Belgium, so we hope the North Americans are as geek as the Europeans. If you want to know how we implemented it, you have to attend my session The Making of XRobots, Grand Peninsula EFG - Thursday, 14:30 to 15:05.

Beta Time for JBoss Developer Studio 8.1.0 and JBoss Tools 4.2.3
by akazakov at March 05, 2015 10:03 PM
We are ready with Red Hat JBoss Developer Studio 8.1.0 Beta1 and JBoss Tools 4.2.3 Beta1 for Eclipse Luna SR2.
Red Hat JBoss Developer Studio comes with everything pre-bundled in its installer. Simply download it and install it like this:
java -jar jboss-devstudio-{version}-installer-{standalone|eap}.jar
JBoss Tools or JBoss Developer Studio Bring-Your-Own-Eclipse (BYOE) requires a bit more:
This release requires at least Eclipse 4.4 (Luna) but we recommend using the Eclipse Luna SR2 Java EE Bundle since then you get most of the dependencies preinstalled with Java EE Bundle and SR2 release includes some critical fixes.
Once you have installed or if you have JBoss Tools 4.2.x already installed, you can use our update site directly for JBoss Tools:
And for JBoss Developer Studio Bring-Your-Own-Eclipse:
Note: JBoss Tools 4.2.3 and JBoss Developer Studio 8.1.0 will become available in Marketplace only for Final releases at early April
What is New?
This release is update for Eclipse Luna and also includes some new features which we would like to highlight. You can see everything in the What's New section for this release.
Eclipse Luna SR2
This version of JBoss Tools targets Eclipse Luna SR2. More stability. Less false positive JavaScript errors. And many other fixed bugs.
FeedHenry support
If you are a FeedHenry user we've now added support for easy importing and running of your FeedHenry Cordova applications.
New Wildfly Archetypes in JBoss Central
WildFly 8.2.0.GA archetypes are now available for the HTML5, JavaEE Web & EAR project wizards. They will be automatically enabled when you select a WildFly runtime in the project wizards.
HTML5 & JavaScript Editing Improvements
HTML validation in Eclipse Web Tools Luna has an annoying issue with custom HTML5 tags. It warns about any HTML tag name that is not mentioned in the HTML specification. We contributed a patch to Eclipse Mars which allows to disable those warnings for any particular tag name (or a tag name mask, e.g. <ion-*>). Though this was fixed in Eclipse Mars only we back ported this useful feature to JBoss Tools 4.2.3 which is based on Eclipse Luna SR2:
JavaSript file validation now respects ECMA5 keywords.
Tern.java and AngularJS Eclipse 0.8.2
Tern.java and AngularJS Eclipse (available via JBoss Central - Early Access) has been upgraded to the latest 0.8.2 version.
There is a bunch of new features which were introduced in 0.8.0 releases:
0.8.2 releases also include bug fixes for some critical issues which caused Eclipse to freeze.
Multiple Browser Engine Support on Linux in Visual Editor
On Linux Visual Page Editor can be opened in HTML5 mode for HTML files, where all HTML5 features are supported. Visual Page editor mode can be changed with dialog, which appears during HTML file opening or in Visual Page Editor Preferences.
IP6 Support Added for Server Tools
For JBoss 7 and Wildfly installations, using hostnames with an IPv6 format often failed to connect, show webpages, or even verify the server's state. Several changes have made this work as expected. With updated wildfly jars, management commands will execute without issue. In addition, our tools will now automatically recognize host names in an IPv6 pattern, and update your launch configuration's various launch arguments to ensure that the server starts properly and with all expected flags set.

Case Study MQTT: Why Open Source and Open Standards Drives Adoption
by Ian Skerrett at March 04, 2015 05:26 PM
For the last 3 years, we have been talking about why IoT needs open source and open standards to be successful. We are now seeing great examples of why this is so true and why open communities will lead IoT adoption.
MQTT is a perfect case study. This past month Eclipse Paho and Eclipse Mosquitto released new versions of their MQTT clients (Paho) and MQTT broker (Mosquitto). I believe this is an important milestone for these projects and the adoption of MQTT by IoT solution providers. It seems to me that MQTT has now become a defacto `must be supported standard`for any serious IoT solution provider. And any smart IoT solution provider is using Paho and/or Mosquitto to implement MQTT. https://twitter.com/macchina_io/status/571284151845978112
A quick look at the Google Trends report for MQTT makes it pretty clear interest in MQTT has taken off since Eclipse Paho was created and MQTT was submitted to OASIS for standardization. Now, if you follow the Paho and Mosquitto mailing lists you can see the community is fully engaged and developers are creating real solutions with Paho and Mosquitto.
A perfect example of why open source and open standards drive adoption. We are also seeing this with other standards like Lightweight M2M and CoAP. Open is definitely winning in IoT
Unit Testing in RAP 3.0
by Ralf Sternberg at March 04, 2015 04:06 PM
When you test components of a RAP application, you have to simulate the environment that RAP UI code normally runs in. Thanks to a new API, this becomes easier in RAP 3.0.
In an earlier post, my colleague Johannes explained how to write unit tests for RAP 2.x. This approach required more boilerplate code to set up and tear down the RAP environment in every single test case. To make it worse, this setup code had to use internals. The class Fixture
had been created to test RAP itself and thus had a lot of methods that are not relevant for application development. Hence, it was explicitly excluded from the public API.
In RAP 3.0, we decided to clean up and provide real API. We moved all internal classes out of the public package and replaced it with a simple JUnit Rule. Instead of calling Fixture.setUp()
and Fixture.tearDown()
, you only need to include the following line in your JUnit test cases:
@Rule public TestContext context = new TestContext(); |
This will simulate a new test context (including UI thread, UISession, ApplicationContext etc.) for every test method and also enable event propagation (there's no need for calling Fixture.fakePhase( PROCESS_ACTION )
anymore). TestContext is contained in the bundle org.eclipse.rap.rwt.testfixture
When you write tests for custom widgets, you may need to inject mocked RemoteObjects. To do so, you can replace the Connection with your own implementation like so:
context.replaceConnection(new Connection() { public RemoteObject createRemoteObject(String remoteType) { return mockRemoteObject; } }); |
RAP 3.0 will be released together with Eclipse Mars in June 2015. The TestContext is already available in the latest stable build.

The Tree Layout Secret
by admin at March 04, 2015 11:42 AM
A recurring problem when developing a graphical modeler is providing the right layout. The advantage with Sirius is it provides you with a default algorithm that performs an automatic layout of all the elements on a diagram.
To illustrate the Sirius' layout capabilities imagine that we want to visualize the hierarchy of characters in the US TV series House Of Cards. To do this we define the following metamodel:
First, we used Sirius to create a diagram representing the Persons
Each person is represented by a white square with his or her name on it.
By default Sirius lays out nodes from left to right and what we now have is a flat diagram, with each person on exactly the same level.
However what we want to see is the White House organizational hierarchy so we need to represent the subordination link. This link is modeled using the dependsOn
reference in the metamodel.
Second we define a new relation based edge
mapping. This edge will connect Persons
, and to find the subordinate we just use the dependsOn
The default layout will automatically present an ordered tree diagram of the White House hierarchy with president Garrett Walker at the top of the diagram and Congressman Peter Russo at the bottom. When you define a relation based edge, Sirius then automatically lays out the elements as an ordered tree diagram by using the dependsOn
reference to find the children.
That looks all very well and good. However, supposing that now we want to retain and be able to view our subordination link but also order our nodes according to a different relation. In our metamodel we add another reference influences
that represents the influence one person can exert over another. We need to create another kind of diagram with the most influencial person at the top and the most influenced person at the bottom whilst still retaining the former subordination links between the persons.
Great news! This is really easy to implement with Sirius!
If the Sirius default algorithm does not fit your particular needs, you can configure some of the parameters or request alternative algorithms directly within the Sirius specification editor.
You can define either of:
- A Composite Layout : this must be used to show containment relations. It enables you to specify padding between the different elements and the direction for the default algorithm.
- An Ordered Tree Layout : this must be used so as to lay nodes as an ordered tree.
These layout algorithms manage only nodes connected by edges, other nodes are lay out from left to right as usual.
The Ordered Tree Layout is what we need for our case.
We defined a new Influence
diagram with a Person
mapping and a DependsOn
mapping. These mappings are exactly the same as with the Hierarchy
diagram. The only difference being that we have produced an Ordered Tree Layout.
The Children Expression
is used to specify how to retrieve children for each node. In our example we use the influences
reference to progress through the model.
Your Node Mapping
must specify the mapping that the tree order algorithm is to operate on. In our example we want the algorithm to operate on Person
Note: the ordered tree layout only works if you have only defined a single kind of node mapping in your diagram specification.
And… Ta-daaah! By defining this new layout you can see the person influencing every other player in the White House is… Frank Underwood, but Shh! That's a secret
Finally, if you need to go further, you can also provide your own layout algorithm programmatically.
The sample code from this example is available on github : https://github.com/mbats/sirius-blog/tree/master/tree-layout
Sirius posts are coming!
by admin at March 04, 2015 10:27 AM
Just to announce that we (I and some Sirius commiters from Obeo) will start a series of posts about some features available in Sirius. For the ones who don't know, Sirius is an Eclipse project to quickly define multi view workbenches based on DSL with dedicated representations. Sirius is part of the release train since Luna and its version 3.0 will be available with Mars.
A modeling workbench created with Sirius is composed of a set of Eclipse editors which allow the users to create, edit and visualize EMF models.
In the next weeks, you will discover posts about diagram customization, tree layout, SVG images…
Stay tuned!
SCT - Seamless Integration with C and Java type systems
by Andreas Mülder (email@example.com) at March 04, 2015 10:02 AM
Yakindu Statechart Tools is shipped with a powerful expression language to model the reactive behavior of a state machine. It is a statically typed programming language that is familiar to everyone who knows C or Java. It provides all basic expressions like logical expressions,arithmetic expressions, bitwise arithmetic and bit shifting.
The language is built on a default, platform-independent type system that supports the primitive types Integer, Real, Boolean, String and Void out of the box. During code generation, these built in types are then mapped to reasonable platform specific types. For example, a String is mapped to a java.lang.String in Java and a char * in C/C++.
However, this platform-independence comes at a price: You can't leverage all the captabilities of the underlying technologie in your state machine and you have to write glue code to integrate the generated code with your platform. These issues are well illustrated when it comes to the definition of operations. In SCT, it is possible to define operations, which can be called from an expression:
operation max(int1: integer, int2: integer): integer
entry / myVar = max(1,2)
The Java code generator then generate interfaces for all defined operations that must be implemented by the user. For example, the Java generator creates an interface with a corresponding java method signature. This interface has to be implemented by the client and passed to the statemachine, which is shown in the following code snippet:
DefaultSMStatemachine statemachine = new DefaultSMStatemachine();
SCInterfaceOperationCallback callback = new SCInterfaceOperationCallback() {
public int max(int param1, int param2) {
return Math.max(param1, param2) // Delegate the call to the Java Lib
But what if you want to develop a statemachine for the Java platform only? This is where Statechart Domains come into play. Select the Java Domain in the 'New Model Wizard' and get access to Java native types. For example, import java.util.Math in your statechart and access all methods like max, min or random directly from the statechart model!
Statechart Tools for Java
This integration is illustrated by the following example, a simple statechart that receives events with a value and puts them onto a Stack for later processing.in event inEvent : Message
var stack : java.util.Stack<Message>
Note the definition of the event inEvent. The special feature about this is that the type of the event is the complex type Message - a Plain Old Java Object defined in a local Java Project containing a timestamp of type java.util.Date and a message of type String. Those fields can be accessed as properties from the statechart.
The variable stack is of type java.util.Stack with the type argument Message - the Java Type Integration even supports generic types! All (public) methods provided by java.util.Stack can be accessed directly from the Statechart, as you can see in the State MessageReceived when the currentMessage is pushed onto the stack. With Statechart Tools for Java you can develop your state machine in an object-oriented way like you are used to it from Java!
Statechart Tools for Embedded C
When creating a new statemachine model for the C Domain, it is possible to import C-header files and get access to all of the declared functions.The following example is a simplyfied version of a header from our Yakindu Smart Car.After importing the C-Header (import: car_api.h), all defined complex types like Structs, Unions and Enumerations as well as TypeDefs and Functions become accessible directly from the Statechart model. The generated code integrates well with the imported headers so there is no need to write a bunch of glue code anymore!
Current implementation state
This is work in progress and still a lot of work to do. Although it is already possible to edit C and Java specific statecharts and generate code out of it, we still have to adopt the simulation engine to handle complex types. We expect to have a first version available in Q3/2015.by Andreas Mülder (email@example.com) at March 04, 2015 10:02 AM

FYI: Open Source Initiative (@OpenSourceOrg)
by Chris Aniszczyk at March 03, 2015 03:27 AM
If you aren't aware of the Open Source Initiative (OSI), you should be. They are fantastic not-for-profit organization responsible for the Open Source Definition (which everyone should read once in their lives), they maintain a a list of compliant license definitions on top of promoting open source across the world.
They are also membership driven organization, which is supported by individuals and affiliates. As far as I know, they are the only organization that brings together a variety of open source individuals/institutions to cross-promote ways to work together improve the adoption of open source software:
They are also in the last month of their membership drive, so if you're interested in supporting their cause, I highly recommend you consider joining as a member:
#opensource spans the globe—as does our membership. We're in last 30 days of our member drive http://t.co/z0t21MsJrh pic.twitter.com/8nkzPx7TwG
— OpenSourceInitiative (@OpenSourceOrg) March 1, 2015
Also more selfishly, the OSI currently has nominations open for the board of director election which I'm partaking in. The current group of nominations include a great group of folks from all over the open source ecosystem and I'd love to have the opportunity to serve, my plans include expanding corporate membership and more.
So please consider supporting the OSI and vote your interests, they really make the greater open source community a better place.

Docker and WildFly Part 2 - Deployment over management API
by robstryker at March 02, 2015 04:23 PM
If you've already gotten started with trying out Docker and JBoss Tools, and want to see what other options are available, this blog post will explain how to run Wildfly in a Docker container and configure it for management tasks and managed deployments.
Customizing your Dockerfile
Since the default jboss/wildfly
Docker configuration doesn't expose the management port by default, we'll need
to customize it, and this means writing your very first Dockerfile
. Our goals here are
to add a management user to the Dockerfile, and also to expose the management ports when
running the container.
First, you'll want to make a folder on your filesystem that you can play around in.
I'll name mine docker_jbds_wf_mgmt
Inside this folder, we'll make a new file named Dockerfile
and give it the following content:
FROM jboss/wildfly:latest USER jboss RUN /opt/jboss/wildfly/bin/add-user.sh admin Admin#70365 --silent CMD ["/opt/jboss/wildfly/bin/standalone.sh", "-b", "0.0.0.0", "-bmanagement", "0.0.0.0"]
You can see that we're extending the original jboss/wildfly
In the above RUN
command, we're also adding a management user. Feel free
to customize the password as you wish.
Exposing actual or sensitive passwords in a publicly accessible Dockerfile is dangerous. Make sure to only use example credentials in publicly available Dockerfiles. |
Finally, we're making sure that when the Docker container runs
, it is also making sure to bind the management port to
all possible hosts, helping to expose it for use.
Building your new Dockerfile
You can give your new configuration any name you want when building it.
I'll build mine here, and give it the name wildfly-mgmt
docker build --tag=wildfly-mgmt .
Running your new Dockerfile
To run your new configuration, run the following command, replacing the last parameter with what name you chose when building the Dockerfile.
docker run -it -p 8080:8080 -p 9990:9990 wildfly-mgmt
Note that, unlike the previous post, we do not need to launch with custom volume mappings. All we need is the addition of the management port.
Configuring a Server in JBoss Tools
When creating the server remember to set the host to be dockerhost
( at least on OSX and Windows ) as shown above.
Since we've configured the server to be remote, and for communication with the server
to be handled over the management port, we mark it as Remote
controlled by Management Operations
in the second page of the New Server wizard.
We also don't require a runtime here, though we may need one later when creating
a functional web project with classes. For now, we won't create one. You'll also
note that we have marked that the Server lifecycle is externally managed
which means we won't be starting or stopping the server via JBoss Tools, since
you'll be controlling that via Docker on your own.
On the next page, you'll note that our remote runtime details are optional. Since the server is configured only for management operations, we have no real need to know where the filesystem is located or how to access it. We can safely ignore this page and just proceed through it.
Now, your server is created, but we still need to set the management credentials.
First, double-click your Server in the Servers View
to open the Server Editor
Then, set your credentials as you did in your Dockerfile
as shown below.
You'll note that some default values are already there, and so you'll need to
delete them and set your own values.
Creating Your Web Project
In this example, we can create a very simple web project by browsing to
File → New → Dynamic Web Project
, Once the web project is created, we can
create a simple index.html
in the WebContent
Starting the Server
Now that everything's set up in Eclipse, we can start our Docker container as we mentioned before:
docker run -it -p 8080:8080 -p 9990:9990 wildfly-mgmt
Starting the Server Adapter
In Eclipse, we can now right-click our server, and select Start
. This
shouldn't launch any commands, since we marked the server as Externally Managed
The server adapter is configured to check over the management port at dockerhost:9990
to see if the server is up or not, so it should quickly move to a state of [Started, Synchronized]
In this second example, we've seen how to install and configure a Wildfly Docker image customized for management operations in JBoss Tools.
To summarize, here are the steps needed:
Create your own 'Dockerfile` that uses the existing
configuration, but also adds a management user and starts server with the management port exposed -
Start Docker with 8080 and 9090 mapped
Configure the server to run on
, using Remote management settings and have lifecycle externally managed
As you hopefully noted, this kind of setup is much more straightforward (no messing with paths); unfortunately it does have a downside since all publishes are full publishes over the management API. Because of this, incremental updates will not work in this case.
In a future example, I hope that we'll see how to create an image customized for SSH access, which will allow starting and stopping the server and support incremental updates.

Release Engineering special issue now available
by Kim Moir (firstname.lastname@example.com) at March 02, 2015 02:48 PM
I'm interviewed in the roundtable article on the future of release engineering, along with Chuck Rossi of Facebook and Boris Debic of Google. Interesting discussions on the current state of release engineering at organizations that scale large number of builds and tests, and release frequently. As well, the challenges with mobile releases versus web deployments are discussed. And finally, a discussion of how to find good release engineers, and what the future may hold.
Thanks to the other guest editors on this issue - Stephany Bellomo, Tamara Marshall-Klein, Bram Adams, Foutse Khomh and Christian Bird - for all their hard work that make this happen!
As an aside, when I opened the issue, the image on the front cover made me laugh. It's reminiscent of the cover on a mid-century science fiction anthology. I showed Mr. Releng and he said "Robot birds? That is EXACTLY how I pictured working in releng." Maybe it's meant to represent that we let software fly free. In any case, I must go back to tending the flock of robotic avian overlords.

Announcing Orion 8.0
by John Arthorne at February 27, 2015 08:04 PM
The Orion Project is pleased to announce the release of Orion 8.0. You can check out the new release now on OrionHub, or grab your own copy of the Orion server from the download page. The Orion Node.js implementation matching this release is orion 0.0.35 on NPM. The Orion 8.0 release includes over 1000 commits from 36 unique contributors, and fixing 280 bugs. The major themes for this release were building higher value tools for JavaScript/CSS/HTML development, and in making the Orion server highly scalable.
In language tools, Orion 8.0 introduces Quick Fixes for automatically resolving common coding problems, semantic file to file navigation, smart language tool hovers, and many more smaller enhancements. For complete details on the extensive web tooling improvements, read Orion 8.0 Language Tooling Enhancements Part 1 and Part 2
On the server side, the main focus for Orion 8.0 has been on clustering support. For a site with heavy traffic, it is useful to have multiple Orion instances operating on the same Orion workspace content. This also allows you to have a running standby instance for fail-over and upgrade without any site downtime. To support this, Orion 8.0 has introduced file-based locking to manage contention across multiple instances. In addition, persistent state has been divided between instance-private and shared locations, to prevent sharing of the server's own internal state that is not designed for sharing across instances.
A final major change on the server side was completely rewriting our search infrastructure. The new Orion search implementation provides global search and replace based on a server side search crawler, rather than indexing. This means searches take a little longer, but they have perfect accuracy. Server side search now also supports regular expressions and case-sensitive search, making this kind of search much faster than before. This implementation also simplifies Orion server management for large-scale Orion installs, because it saves Orion server admins from having to deal with search index sharding and Solr clustering. This server side global search is currently only available on the Java implementation of the Orion server, but there is a team in the community working on a Node.js implementation for this as well.

Gimp 2.8 – Eclipse Splash
by eselmeister at February 27, 2015 08:19 AM
I was wondering why the splash screen is not visible anymore after using Gimp 2.8 to create the *.bmp file. It's the color profile option that needs to be deactivated. Here's the workflow:
Create a splash design with Inkscape:
Width: 455 px
Height: 295 px
Export the design to *.png format (90 dpi).
Then open the *.png file with Gimp and export it to *.bmp format.
Use the options:
> Don't write color information
24 Bit
That's it :-).

New Eclipse Chain Completion Improvements and Hippie Privacy Settings
by Simon Laffoy at February 26, 2015 09:15 AM
Codetrails has just released Eclipse Recommenders 2.1.12 and Codetrails Connect 1.3.0. So what's new? Let's have a look ...
Eclipse N!
by waynebeaton at February 26, 2015 04:29 AM
The Eclipse Planning Council—with help from the community—is trying to sort out the name for our eleventh named simultaneous release in 2016. We had some trouble with the first set of names that we selected, and so we're into the second round.
We started following the alphabet a few years ago, naming our fifth release "Helios", and now we're up to the letter N. We've been bouncing around some N names on Twitter; I quite like the idea of just going with "N", and stated as much.
@irbull @dougschaefer @alblue @cra I'm fond of just going with "N". We can add an exclamation point: Eclipse N!
— Wayne Beaton (@waynebeaton) February 25, 2015
I originally put in the exclamation mark to make it seem more exciting, but then it occurred to me that the exclamation mark has special meaning in Lisp. In a functional programming language like Lisp, you generally avoid changing state, so Lisp functions that make changes are marked with a cautionary exclamation point (spoken as "bang"). When you invoke a bang function, things are going to change:
@dougschaefer @alblue @irbull @cra Just putting it out there, in Lisp, N! would be read "N-bang" suggesting that things are going to change. — Wayne Beaton (@waynebeaton) February 25, 2015
It seems appropriate. Change is in the air. I'm excited by the prospect of having an actual installer. I'm excited by our vision of the future of the developer's platform.
With Mars, our June 2015 release, we're making a subtle shift to put more focus on the user experience. This takes the form of our Every Detail Matters for Mars effort which aims to tackle a handful of "little things" like getting more of the default preferences right in our packages, standardizing naming conventions, providing reasonable and useful package-specific new and noteworthy documentation, improving the story for adding simultaneous release plug-ins into an Eclipse-based IDE, and more. I'm pretty excited about some bits of the "and more" part, but I'll save that discussion for another day.
Of course, we're also trying to tackle some pretty big things. We've come a long way towards having a proper installer for Eclipse. I'm also optimistic that we'll be including Gradle support in Eclipse (more on this later).
We need your help and so we've started the Great Fixes for Mars skills competition. To enter, all you need to do is take responsibility for a bug, mark it as "greatfix", and submit a patch.

Case Key EIR = Environmental Impact Report IS = Initial Study ND = Negative Declaration NOA = Notice of Availability NOP = Notice of Preparation
The project site is located at 4747 Daisy Avenue, south of 48th Street, north of the Virginia Country Club and east of the Los Angeles River.
The proposed Riverwalk Residential Development Project site is 10.56 acres. The project site was formerly the Will J. Reid Boy Scout Camp, but is no longer used by the Boy Scouts and is currently vacant. The proposed project would involve subdividing the project site and developing it into a gated residential community containing 131 detached single family homes on lots with a minimum square footage of 2,400 square feet. The proposed homes would be a mixture of 2 and 3-story homes with a maximum height of 356".
The project site is located at 415 West Ocean Boulevard at the northeast corner of Ocean Boulevard and Magnolia Avenue in downtown Long Beach, California. The 151,200-square-foot project site is located within the block bounded by Broadway to the north, Chestnut Place to the east, Ocean Boulevard to the south, and Magnolia Avenue to the west.
The proposed project consists of the demolition of the former Long Beach Courthouse building and would entail the removal of reinforced concrete, structural steel, siding, glass, and other building materials from the project site. Following completion of the demolition activities, the project site would be secured with a fence to prevent unauthorized individuals from entering the project site. While development of the project site in the future is likely, at this time, no firm plans for the project site have reached the level of a proposed or reasonably foreseeable project.
6400 E. Pacific Coast Highway (bounded by 2nd Street to the north, Pacific Coast Highway to the east, a retail shopping center (Marina Shores Shopping Center) to the south, and Marina Drive to the west.

The project site is located at 1645 W. Pacific Coast Highway (PCH), bounded by 19th Street to the north, Cota Avenue to the east, PCH to the south, and Technology Park to the west.
This project proposes the demolition of the existing buildings and carports on the site and construction of a new single story building for retail use that would be up to 122,500 square feet in size with 490 on-site parking spaces. The proposed retail building would have a maximum height of 32 feet and could be used by a single retail tenant or by two tenants with separate (side-by-side) entrances.
The proposed East Division Police Substation (herein referenced as the project) is located at 3800 E. Willow Street (between Redondo Avenue and Lakewood Boulevard), and would involve the transfer of the Schroeder Hall property (owned by the U.S. Department of Defense) to the City of Long Beach for relocation of the existing East Division Police Substation and Juvenile Investigations Section.

Proposal to convert the theater space from the closed AMC Pine Square 16-screen movie theater into 69 residential apartment units. 112,079 square feet of new residential space, in two levels, will be created from the existing highceilinged one-level theater envelope. The existing 142 residential dwelling units will remain, as well as the existing retail spaces on Pine Avenue, 3rd Street and Broadway. A small amount of floor area from the theater box offices, approximately 538 square feet, will be converted into new commercial retail space, bringing the total leasable retail floor area on-site to 37,240 square feet.
The proposed project involves construction of a 23,330-square foot addition (14% floor area increase) to an existing 166,447-square foot aquarium facility. The project consists of a new wing with a media-based chamber, an expanded retail store, and a new front entrance. The Aquariums total ground lease area is 276,371 square feet (6.34 acres). The project will be designed and built to the USGBCs LEED Gold standards with add-alternate design plans to bring the project to Platinum status if funding is available.
The proposed project involves acquisition of a lease on the Redevelopment Agency-owned property located at 925-945 E. Pacific Coast Highway. The lease, which expires on March 11, 2013, would be acquired by the Redevelopment Agency through negotiated agreement, or upon determination by the Redevelopment Agency, by eminent domain. The project also involves demolition or rehabilitation of the existing project site building for the purposes of blight removal.
The project site consists of ten lots on 1.38 acres: five located in the City of Long Beach and five in the City of Signal Hill. The five lots located in Long Beach total 30,198 square feet and are located on the east side of Atlantic Avenue and north of East 33rd Street at 3300 Atlantic Avenue. The applicant is proposing to construct a new single-story, 14,304 square-foot Fresh & Easy Neighborhood Market with 17 parking spaces north of the building on the .69-acre Long Beach site. Two accessory parking lots, separated from the market by a 20 wide alley and containing a total of 52 parking stalls, comprise the remaining project acreage and lie within the City of Signal Hill. The lots in Signal Hill consist of a 100 wide x 120 deep parcel and a 150 wide x 120 deep parcel separated by 100. Both of these lots will be improved as open parking lots for the retail use. The parking lots also contain a trash enclosure, transformer, and cart corral.
The proposed project would provide new residential, office, retail, and potential hotel uses, along with associated parking and open space. The project includes three development options, a Residential Option and two Hotel Options, all of which would be entitled through the City of Long Beach. The option ultimately constructed would be selected based on market conditions prevailing at the time entitlement is complete.
Southeast corner of Second Street and Pacific Coast Highway
The proposed project would include the demolition of existing on-site uses and would provide new residential, office, retail, and potential hotel uses, along with associated parking and open space.
The proposed project involves the redevelopment of an approximately 6.3-acre site in the City of Long Beach with a mixed-use village center project. This section describes the project location, characteristics of the site and the proposed development, project objectives, and the approvals needed to implement the project.
The Art Exchange is intended to provide a permanent and affordable workplace for the development and production of art by local artists. The Exchange would operate on a profit-centered business model where artists sell directly to the public and are connected to networking opportunities that would help promote an art community for the City.
This is an addendum to the Supplemental EIR 14-04 for the Pike at Rainbow Harbor project. This project consists of a new 5-story 125-room hotel with approximately 15,000 square feet of ground floor retail space, to be located at 290 Bay Street. Parking is to be provided at the 2,211-space Pike parking structure.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Actress Tempestt Bledsoe says she's thrilled to be returning to network television on a show that portrays "a positive black family" similar to the long-running hit sitcom she was part of for roughly eight years — "The Cosby Show."
"That show was my childhood," said Bledsoe, who played middle child Vanessa Huxtable in the NBC show that also starred Bill Cosby, Phylicia Rashad, Malcolm-Jamal Warner, Lisa Bonet and Keshia Knight Pulliam. "It did so many things. It greatly influenced the kinds of projects I did. It helped form my core values, like my work ethic."
Bledsoe and actor Anthony Anderson spoke Friday at the Essence Music Festival about the new show they're starring in, "Guys with Kids," which premieres this fall on NBC.
In an interview after their appearance, the co-stars told The Associated Press they were thrilled the show will spotlight a "positive black family on network television."
"We just don't have that right now, not on network television," said Anderson, who has two children of his own. "Like the Cosby Show, this will be an opportunity to see the love, support, humor and beauty of a black family on TV."
The show, produced by Jimmy Fallon, is about three 30-something new dads trying to hold on to their youth. "Guys With Kids" will also star Jamie-Lynn Sigler of "The Sopranos" and actors Zach Cregger and Jesse Bradford. One of the characters is a single dad, another is a working father and Anderson's character is a stay-at-home dad raising four young sons.
Bledsoe, who plays Anderson's working wife, chuckled as she spoke about his character's daily challenges wrangling the children, including twins under the age of 2.
"There's nothing funnier," Bledsoe said. "This role was tailor-made for Anthony."
Anderson said he was drawn to the role for several reasons, including his strong feelings about the importance of having a father figure and that his character "chooses" to stay at home with his children rather than being forced to do so because he lost his job.
He said he also recognized that in these tough economic times, more dads are choosing to stay home in part because of child care costs.
"A lot of them get funny looks because it's not what people are used to seeing, and this show reflects this new dynamic in the American family," he said.
Other celebrities appearing at the festival included actor Russell Hornsby, who played on "Lincoln Heights" and currently stars in the NBC supernatural drama "Grimm"; Bern Nadette Stanis, who played Thelma on the hit 1970s show "Good Times"; comedian and "Think Like a Man" author Steve Harvey; and Malik Yoba, who stars on the SyFy network's drama "Alphas."

Don't wear nail polish every day; it's important to let your nails breathe.
Real or just a rumor?
It is 100% r-e-a-l! We all heart nail polish 'cause it makes our tips instantly glam. But did ya know it also has some risky aspects like nose and throat cancer (yikes!)? Ever noticed your nails have a yellowish tinge after applying polish? This is the awful result of nail polish's harsh chemical ingredients. A chica's nails are an extension of her skin and whatever ya put on 'em can travel straight to the rest of your bod. Prevent nail nastiness by always applying a base coat when painting your tips and looking for polishes that are "3 Free": formulated without harmful chemicals like Tolulene, Formaldehyde, DBP or Parabens.

There are no natural ways to plump your lips.
This one's fake. Have ya ever dreamt of bee-stung lips but don't have the guts to try out a lip plumper? Here's your chance to get the lips of your dreams: Start whistling! It's true: Whistling for just 4-8 minutes each day helps circulate the blood flow in your lips, which can make them fuller. Brings new meaning to the phrase "Whistle while you work!", right?
Wearing mascara on the daily can make your lashes fall out.
Hello, real. Don't freak, mascara won't make lashes fly off your face within seconds, but it won't keep 'em lush and healthy forever, either. By not properly removing mascara at the end of the day, your lashes will become fragile and frail and could eventually start falling out. But there is a cinchy cure: Gently remove your eye makeup before bed using a mild makeup remover and cotton pad. (Told ya it was easy!)

If you eat certain foods your eyes will change color over the years.
This one is so not true. The eye color you are born with is the eye color you are stuck with, but not necessarily forever! Many chicks have opted to change their peepers with color contacts. But there are easy ways to play up certain color tones in your irises: Wearing warm colors such as brown, pink and orange can make blue or green eyes pop, while cool colors like blue, green and purple emphasize brown and hazel colored eyes.

Guiness Book of World Records attempt?
I've heard a little rumor that The Flaming Lips were going to be doing an attempt for most live shows or something of that nature, and that they were going to be playing my small US southern town, and I'm sure many others. I can't seem to find any info confirming this though. Anyone else heard of such a thing? According to the rumor, tickets are only available through VH1, but see nothing on their tour dates indicating a stop here. Wondering if I should be giddy with anticipation or slap my self on the face for almost being gullible enough to fully believe this.

10 Ways To Build An 'Idea Factory' Within an Organization
Ideas can be in the form of new products or services, cost-reducing techniques, process improvements, or innovative business models and methods. No doubts that the benefits of innovation occur in all aspects of the financial statements. Most great ideas for enhancing corporate growth and profits aren't discovered at your research centre or brainstorming in the conference rooms, they come from the people who on a day to day basis face the company's battles, who serve the customers, explore new markets and defend competition.
Organizations are looking at ways to tap into the knowledge base of every employee; it is more often about co-operation & collaboration inside the business that drives innovation. According to a global study by IBM, today's CIO spends an average of 55% of his or her time on activities that spur innovation. Today, we need more innovators than any time before due to increased competition, economic conditions, the impact of globalization, migration, technological and knowledge revolutions, and climate change issues.
When it comes to problem-solving or solution building, your employees are your most valuable asset: after all, they are the closest to the work &most likely to see opportunities for innovative solutions regarding improving customer service, reducing costs, or increasing efficiency however amid so many e-mails, verbal conversations, and IM's, it can be easy to lose great ideas.
To grow the best ideas, you have to discuss, refine, and ultimately vote on where your innovative energies will be spent. A well designed ideation platform like MangoApps (full disclosure: the author is a product manager at MangoApps) can help empower anyone to submit an idea, everyone to comment and refine an idea, and holds the decision makers accountable for acting on ideas until they are implemented or deferred. Here are few best practices to tap into the collective intelligence of your idea factory (employees);
You may not have the time to sit around and discuss ideas that lead business innovation. An Innovation platform creates a space in which employees from across the organization can exchange ideas, vote, collaborate& contribute to ideas from anywhere anytime since Eureka moments can happen anywhere.
It's essential to involve employees in ideation not only for their unique perspectives, but also to ensure buy-in throughout the company afterwards. If your employees aren't telling you that your idea is crazy, then it is likely that it's not a very big idea.
At any company innovation typically grows from the seeds planted by the senior management & employees then work together to make it a reality. Discussions about ideas should be open conversations; everyone has to be on the same page, especially when it comes to understanding the competitive environment.
Employees need to be explained the importance of ideation, the potential they have to benefit the organization, its customers, or broader business goals. Employees need to be motivated about participating through rewards & recognitions. They can't be forced to reveal their thoughts or be imaginative however they can be pulled into the ideation process by making it transparent and more meaningful.
Idea campaigns are a proven way to capture hundreds of ideas to improve productivity, cut costs and drive improvements from the bottom up in a short time period. It is desirable to invite the widest range of participants possible.
It is desirable to invite the widest range of participants possible. The more diverse the participants, the more diverse and creative the ideas you receive during your ideas campaign.Promote the ideacampaigns to as many eligible participants as possible. This could be within your enterprise social network via e-mail, via announcements, links etc., Remember, if people do not know about your ideas campaign, they will not participate.
Collaborative effort between management and employees can help minimize down time researching on an idea, it can improve the dissemination of knowledge between experts and your entire network& help build stronger relationships with employees by giving their ideas visibility through leader boards, encourage peer-to-peer awards for good work and see productivity increase across your organization.It is the receptive atmosphere that allows ideas to become improvement realities.
Employees need to understand how their ideas can contribute to the organisation's success. This means that they have to believe in its overall purpose and values and also will be given suitable resources and backing if working on new ideas.
Transparency and honesty arethe key to create a culture of innovation. It's important that employees understand what each other are working on and feel able to share knowledge and ideas and give constructive feedback.Using social collaboration platforms can be helpful in this context in order to provide employees with a platform to share innovative ideas that would otherwise go unnoticed.
Happy Employees = Happy Clients = Happy Profit. Therefor developing and maintaining an effective reward and recognition system is a key aspect of maintaining and encouraging innovation. Employee rewards and recognition system is not just a positive thing to do with employees but communicating it effectively is an efficient tool in encouraging them to ideate.
You hired the people who work for you because of their talent and skills – and today is the day to start putting all of that talent to use in new and innovative ways. Start now and you will be well on your way to taking your organization to the next level.If your business does not already have in place a platform to encourage and reward new ideas, signing up for a collaboration software might prove prudent.

Hey Iceng! Thanks for sharing.
Actually, I am still following the discussion over at,
even though I haven't commented over there, and I saw the video of your closet railing over there too, as a reply to Max's comment about a pipe with a slit so "current cannot flow".
It kind of looks like, even with a big wide slit, the magnet still falls slowly, which I guess means there are still places in the metal, on either sides of the slit, where eddy currents can form.

text: Beautifully UglyEmil sat on the windowsill, chin in hand, and bored expression painted across his face. He watched the crashing ocean from his post. Occationally he would change positions, or stray from his dwelling to grab a bottle of water and retreat back, just watching. His father, Lukas would constantly remind him that there was always something to do around the house, or just do something productive instead of just sitting there. Emil took that as an empty suggestion. He didn't care. Nor would he ever care. Sometimes Berwald or Mathias would often attempt to engage a conversation with the teen, mostly about tips to get girls, a topic Emil easily dodged, whether he was with Kaoru or his uncles. His tastes and interests were directed in a different area and very much his. Photography that was his passion. He enjoyed taking photos of whatever seemed to appeal to him the most.

A hybrid CO2 laser processing for silicon etching
Optics Express, Vol. 15, Issue 12, pp. 7269-7274 (2007)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (162 KB)
A novel approach to silicon (Si) etching has been demonstrated using glass assisted CO2 laser processing. Conventional Si etching can be performed by wet etching, dry etching, Nd:YAG or UV lasers. No CO2 laser was used to etch Si due to the absorption problem. We have etched Si with the assistance of glass beneath the Si. This approach changes light absorption behavior of Si and makes Si be etched from the top surface toward the interface. The new mechanism was discussed in viewpoint of the variation of electronic band structure, surface oxidation and light absorption of Si at high temperature.

Description: In 1937 spit-fire Katie Morosky briefly meets the preppy Hubbell Gardiner. Almost eight years later, the two are reunited in New York, when leftist radio worker Katie spies military officer Hubbell in a nightclub. The two opposites fall in love and head to Hollywood so that Hubbell can write a screenplay for producer pal J.J. But the House Committee on Un-American Activities' Communist witch hunt in 1947 tears the pair apart, as a pregnant Katie refuses to keep silent about the jailing of the Hollywood Ten, while a faithless Hubbell decides to save his career. When the two meet again in the 1960s, TV writer Hubbell and nuclear protestor Katie feel that old pull again, but they have to decide if they have what it takes for the long run.

Chief Learning Officer magazine honored Lisa Doyle of the Veterans Affairs Department as the 2011 Chief Learning Officer of the Year.
Doyle is chancellor of the VA's Acquisition Academy. She was named the academy's first chancellor when it was formed in 2008 with a mandate to train, certify and expand the VA's 40,000-member acquisition workforce.
Doyle received the award for her work in standing up the VA Acquisition Academy. As chancellor, she's responsible for training VA's acquisition workforce. She has established career development programs and is developing experiential learning opportunities.
Although the academy incorporates classroom work, Doyle takes a more holistic approach. The coursework goes well beyond rote learning of the Federal Acquisition Regulation to cover the softer skills needed by contracting officers.
"We take it to the next level," Doyle said in a recent interview with Federal Computer Week. "Technical training is not everything. We develop the whole person."
"The CLO of the Year award is given annually to the candidate who best exemplifies leadership qualities, creates the vision for change in his or her organization, and adds value for stakeholders," the magazine said in a news release on Oct. 26.
Doyle was selected for the award by a panel of seven judges, including past recipients of the honor.
