Ie, if the widget appears 500 pixels in, and 300 pixels down, but is nested inside various hboxes and tables, how do we find out it is in a 500x300 pixel position?
I need to make a window appear in an exact place under another widget.

Almost an institution, the "tiny anchovy" (as the name translates) doubles as a pizzeria-trattoria, but stick to the tasty cicchetti offered at the bar, like the eponymous anchovy minipizzas, the arancioni rice balls, and the polpette. The selection of wines by the glass changes daily, but there are always the ubiquitous local whites on hand, as well as some Tuscan and Piedmontese choices thrown in for good measure. Don't miss the tonno con polenta
(tuna with polenta) if it's offered, but scan the banco (grab a stool to pause a bit longer) and choose whatever appeals.

Apple CEO Steve Jobs photographed at dinner with President ObamaApple Chief Executive Steve Jobs sat directly beside President Barack Obama at a special dinner featuring some of the biggest names in Silicon Valley on this week.
In a photo posted on the official Flickr account of The White House, Jobs can be seen sitting to the left of Obama as the table of tech luminaries engages in a toast. Others at the dinner included Google Chief Executive (and soon-to-be executive chairman) Eric Schmidt, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerburg, Yahoo CEO Carol Bartz.
Another picture shows Zuckerberg talking with the president, with Bartz and Genentech Chairman and Apple Board of Directors member Art Levinson in the background. In that picture, a figure standing behind Obama is obscured, but could also be Jobs.
However, none of the pictures uploaded offer a clear look at the Apple co-founder, who reports this week claimed has been spotted looking extremely thin. It was claimed that Jobs was seen at California's Stanford Cancer Center, prompting speculation that he has relapsed and requires additional treatment in his ongoing fight with cancer.
Jobs and other Silicon Valley executives met with Obama on Thursday at the home of John Doerr of venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers. The meeting was aimed at promoting technological innovation in an effort to boost the U.S. economy and increase the number of jobs available.
Also this week, Gizmodo hired a plane to view the recent demolition of the Jackling House mansion owned by Jobs. A flyover of the property shows the building razed to rubble with construction equipment onsite.
After years of holdups and problems, Jobs finally got the OK to demolish the property, a process that began earlier this week. The 17,250-square-foot building was a decade-long controversy between Jobs and preservationists.
Local historians sought to protect the Spanish colonial revival mansion, built in the 1920s by copper baron Daniel Jackling. They argued that the home was historically significant.
The property has been vacant since 2000, as Jobs has been involved in several back-and-forth filings with the city of Woodside and preservation group Uphold Our Heritage. The CEO reportedly plans to build a smaller, more private home in place of the mansion.

DS7.1 _Symantec_netBoot_Interface Service crashes immediately upon starting
|Created: 2010-04-16
|Updated: 2011-03-10
|Article URL http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH127349
Server with net boot (PXE) services installed
The IP address that the _Symantec_netBoot_Interface Service is attempting to create a socket connection on is not the correct IP address for the server on which it's attempting to run.
This is most common when the Server's IP address was changed for some reason.
Correct the configuration file
In the SBS directory (default "C:\Program Files\Altiris\Altiris Agent\Agents\Deployment\Task Handler\SBS") find the file "initialPXEConfigPath.txt".
In this file locate the following lines:
- Server_Listeners="XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX"
- Mtftp_Listeners="XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX"
The IP Address in these two fields should be the correct current IP Address of the server on which this file is located. Correct these lines to have the correct address or add them if they are missing.
Correct the database
The information contained in the config files is ultimately populated by information taken from the database, in the 'sbs_ServerList' table. This table contains entries for all SBS servers, including their GUIDs and IP Addresses. This table is populated when the SBS server first comes online and is populated with the information that is correct at that time. There are various reasons that this information can be incorrect, from changes in the environment to multiple NICs on the servers. If these entries are not corrected, then there it is likely that the config file information will be overwritten with the incorrect database information.
**Note: A quick way to check the information in this table is to view the PXE Server Configuration page in the console. The 'PXE Servers' list at the bottom of this page will display the information in the 'sbs_ServerList' table.
If the database information is missing:
If the data populated in this table does not include an SBS Server's information, then it was - for some reason - not populated at the server's first attempt to register. To populate this information, follow article TECH133451.
If the database information is incorrect:
If the information listed is incorrect in this table, it will need to be corrected to avoid perpetuation of incorrect data to the configuration files. The 'sbs_ServerList' table will need to be modified to have the listed IP Address match the actual IP Address of the server.
**Note: The entries in the 'sbs_ServerList' table are listed by the resource's GUID, so the server's GUID will be needed to modify the table.

Special Correspondent
VISAKHAPATNAM: Police used force to disperse clashing workers of the Telugu Desam and the Congress during the Intinta Indiramma programme at Balighattam near Narsipatnam on Tuesday evening.
Narsipatnam MLA and senior TDP leader Ch. Ayyanna Patrudu and his younger brother and Narsipatnam Sarpanch Sanyasi Patrudu were engaged in heated exchanges with Parawada MLA and DCC president Gandi Babji and Zilla Parishad Chairman Gorle Ramamurthy Naidu in the presence of Minister Konthala Ramakrishna.
Much before the Minister and others reached Balighattam, Mr. Patrudu along with some 1,000 party workers went to the venue to seek a definite assurance from Mr. Ramakrishna that the alumina refinery would not be established at Makavaripalem falling under Narsipatnam Assembly constituency. Comments made by Mr. Patrudu on Mr. Babji while addressing his party workers sparked clashes between the TDP and Congress supporters. Later, Mr. Ramakrishna announced that farmers would be consulted before taking a decision on the alumina refinery.

The world's biggest tidal array is to be built in North Scotland bringing jobs and energy security to the Pentland Firth region, informs a UK Government news release.
The Government has provided £10 million worth of grant funding to the Meygen project, which will provide enough electricity to power 175,000 homes and provide up to 100 jobs when fully completed. Other funders include the Scottish Government, and The Crown Estate.
The £51m scheme could inspire further projects in the Pentland Firth - helping to provide clean, sustainable and secure energy and jobs for the local community for decades to come.
Energy Secretary Ed Davey said:
"This innovative and exciting project puts Scotland and the UK on the map as a global leader in marine technology – meaning jobs, better energy security and the potential to export this technology to the world."
"The project also shows what can be done when the UK and Scottish Governments work together to provide a lasting benefit for the people of Scotland. Wave and tidal power have the potential to provide more than 20% of the UK's electricity needs, and Meygen could pave the way for future projects in the Pentland Firth."
The Government news release adds that the UK alone has around 50% of Europe's tidal energy resource. Thanks to the its geography, wave and tidal stream energy could meet 20% of the UK's electricity demand.
Renewable energy generation is expected to play a major role in replacing one-fifth of the UK's aging coal and gas fired power plants which are due to be brought off-line by 2020.
The Meygen project forms part of the £100 billion of private sector investment the UK Government aims to attract in new cleaner electricity infrastructure between now and 2020.
The Government has introduced a number of reforms to the UK electricity market to attract this investment, necessary to keep the lights on and emissions down, whilst saving consumers money on their energy bills. £100 billion of investment is expected to create a total of 250,000 jobs in the low-carbon electricity sector by 2020.

The WaPo report that Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence [ISI] chief Shuja Pasha actually was present at the meeting in August between US officials and Haqqani group's representative Ibrahim Haqqani (half-brother of Jalaluddin) is shocking. It completely exposes the Barack Obama administration's doublespeak on the Haqqanis. The WaPo says the White House has since "authorised more intensive reconciliation efforts" with the Haqqanis and other Afghan insurgent groups.
Pakistan winds up its war on terror
That being the case, Pakistan has all but suspended even its limited military operations in Waziristan. Another excellent WaPo dispatch analyses the drift of the thinking in Pakistan. What is striking is that there is a complete civil-military consensus that homegrown insurgents are after all "disgruntled brethren" who are best reconciled through peace talks and deals. Obama can't complain, can he?
If India's experience with Pakistan over the decades is anything to go by, ISI will be simply unbeatable when things narrow down to a sordid game of "Talk, talk; fight, fight". Of course, the US is bound to give up at some point. The early signs are there already that Pakistan is turning the table around and beginning to allege that the US-led coalition forces on the Afghan-Pakistan border could be actually aiding and abetting cross-border terrorism directed against Pakistan! As they say, the pot calling the kettle black?

Vijay Rajvaidya says
US will do what is in its best interest. Currently, it is to stabilize Afghanistan by bringing together all stake holders and get American kids home. But the conglomeration of Islamists will most certainly be inimical to Indian interests. India cannot allow this to happen. What is interesting is how Mr. Bhadrakumar's colleagues in MEA react to it. Historically they fold and retreat. Hopefully, that has changed. Otherwise, the way India was kept out of the last conference on Afghanistan in London will be repeated at grander scale. What are the options? Figuratively speaking, if Pakistan is allowed to develop its strategic depth in Afghanistan, India should work hard to confine it to that "depth". Us can be told clearly that any solution to Afghanistan overlooking Indian sensitivities will have implication in Iran policy of India. US cannot expect India to help isolate Iran. India will also need to aggressively pursue missile defense and operationalize nuclear triad against Pakistan. Hope MEA can leverage India's military strength.

This consensus is welcome, for it can create better climate for the internal resolution of their inner turmoils. The point of interest to both NATO forces in Afghanistan and to India is the cross-border terrorism which it seems is being instigated by military authority. If this terror tap is closed permanently, there would be no basis for expressing concern with Pakistan.
India has suffered for decades the low intensity warfare offensive. There may now be realistic capability available to subjugate the terror authority once and for all, if coordinated decisiveness is demonstrated by Indian decision makers. The surgical severance of their terror arm from formal military would make it more amenable to civilian legal control.
Grizzly says
US again making a grave mistake by relying on pppoooorrrkkkkiis.
But the price will be paid by us all.
Force Khukri says
I like to add. To what end Pakistan can go antagonizing the americans ? Maybe this is another grand smoke screen create by joint cooking of Af-Pak Broth. All that kept aside. Pakistan knows ery well that all its ISI and expert abilities to jump sides or mastery in game of survival will come to no avail once US starts strengthening India.
Pakistan won't collapse because India tries to instigate the trouble. India has only so much leverage in muslim world. What can break Pakistan is its jealousy and the margin of difference. Until now pakistanis fervently compare from Big guns to a safety pin between the two countries. All americans need to do is supply small titbits to a very potent Indian indigenous programme. That would be sufficient to even surpass China in 10 years.
Its all in the hands of the Big Brother. Well, US still has maximum number of innovations despite reverse brain drain right ? …. The point is – diplomacy and politics can only take us that far. A nation needs internal synergy to be able to twist arms of others. That comes with innovations and technology. No other way in or out – JUST ONE STRIAGHT PATH. Indians should never lose sight of it.

Thai Tan Tien
Good budget off-beach option
How about... Different than the Beach Club?
We really enjoyed Thai Tan Tien, it's actually a lot better than the Travelfish would lead you to be...
By bsigrin
What we say:
Originally entering the market as a sort of Beach Club clone with a similar set of thatched roof bungalows, Thai Tan Tien is still one of the beach's budget options. Of course it isn't quite as nice as other spots on the beach, with the bungalows set about 40 metres off the beach and behind a marshy swamp. The route to the beach is a long two-metre wide concrete walkway flanked by said swamp and doesn't have any handrails. This is fine in itself but if you've had a few drinks, it might be your best option to walk a minute north to the other pathway to your room. Rooms are simple and no frills, with fridges and warm showers but on the whole they could use a bit of sprucing up. For the price, however, you can look past the blemishes. While the rooms themselves are off the beach, Thai Tan Tien has one of the most private stretches of beach in the area, with little traffic coming from either side. Their beachfront restaurant is worth a stop as they offer acceptable food at the lowest price on the beach. There are definitely pleasanter places to stay on Long Beach but for the price, Thai Tan Tien is hard to beat.

How about... Different than the Beach Club?
We really enjoyed Thai Tan Tien, it's actually a lot better than the Travelfish would lead you to believe, although it probably isn't as nice as the Beach Club. Can we just think of it as it's own entity though? The rooms are clean and well-furnished and each bungalow has a nice porch with hammocks or chairs. It was really QUIET and nearly no one bothers you on the beach. The restaurant is mediocre and there were a lot of mosquitoes during our visit. I would recommend renting a motorbike as it's pretty far from town. Bungalows are now starting at $22.

Lovely well-priced Bungalow Resort
This place was just perfect. The staff were friendly and some spoke great English. The rooms were big with everything one needs and nothing you don't. The bungalows are about 100 feet from the beach, where there is a great restaurant. Soccer balls, volleyballs, and snorkeling equipment available for free. Good food/drinks and cheap. And the beach may as well be private. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Much greater than your description
The place is just great. Simple, quiet, no fla fla. 10 bungalows all at 15$ all seasons. No music, no restaurant but a 2 eggs and baguette breakfast in the morning at 1,20$. Held by honest owner with only nice daughter and son. Might be less sophisticated than Beach Club but much more natural in my opinion.
The so-called marshy swamp is an overflow of the sea from rainy season and habitat of frogs and crickets making wonderful concert for the night. What is better ?

Holly Leaf Drop
I brought my newly purchased potted hollies into the garage one night when we were expecting a cold snap. I am still preparing the bed for them so they were not yet planted.
That was 4 days ago. I didn't realize they would be adversely affected. Now all the leaves are drying up and dropping off the plants. One of the 4 has no leaves at all!
Was it too dark in the garage? The light is never on and there are two small windows but not near the holly.
Will they come back? It is cold outside, but I watered them and moved them to the front porch which is the most protected outside area I have.
Should I fertilize them? Should I bring them in at night? I do want to plant them this season, when we have a few nice days so I don't want them to get too used to the warm??
Any help or insight would be appreciated!!

Contemporary and SolidWhen looking for bathroom faucets, I searched the internet and came across the Rotunda Widespread Faucet by Signature Hardware. Firstly, it is the stayle that I was searching for, for months. The lines are clean and contemporary and the faucet itself is substantial and solid. I decided to use it in both main bathrooms as the architecture of the house is very contemporary. The plumber remarked at how easy it was to install and was impressed by its construction and design qualities. They are mounted onto new granite counter tops and when viewed by friends and family...not one mention was made of the new granite!
ROTUNDA WIDESPREAD FAUCET - LEVER HANDLES - OVERFLOW - OIL RUBBED BRONZE- This review is for the oil rubbed bronze finish model with overflow -
We purchased this along with the ISOLA THERMOSTATIC SHOWER SYSTEM (also in rubbed bronze finish) and we loved it. We receive a lot of complements for the finish and the look. Even our contractor was surprised by the high quality . Highly recommended.

I grew up in the Midwest. Music has been a part of my life in one form or another, be it church hymns, school choirs, electronic compositions, acoustic guitar singer/songwriter, or as an electric bassist in bands for 15 years. I studied Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana/Champaign and began a career as a software engineer. The allures of job possibilities in Washington State drew me to move there; I live in WA for approximately 8 years. Finally feeling the calling to return to the Midwest, I moved back to Illinois early 2014. I've taken some time off of work, got accepted to grad school at DePaul, and recently started a new job in Chicago. I've also gotten involved in the local music scene. I've been following a diet and have lost 70 pounds in the past 2 years. I recently joined a gym and am supplementing my weight-loss with regular exercise. My passion in life is writing music and software. I'm also a TV/movie and video game enthusiast. I am a cat person, but I also like dogs. I could not live life without a few good friends and family in my life, my radio or iPod, my phone, an internet connection, a job, and oxygen. I'm interested in meeting a woman who has at least a portion of a plan for what she wants out of life. Someone who is independent; important characteristics are intelligence, a sense of humor, a unique artistic appreciation of life, and practicality. Hopefully you are interested in: Fun and/or meaningful conversations about important topics, issues, or common interests. Enjoying a good meal at a nice restaurant. Hanging out and having a few drinks at a local bar. Going to the theater to see a movie, or going to a local venue to catch a concert. Enjoying a night at home watching TV or a great movie, or even playing Scrabble. Or simply perhaps just meeting somewhere for coffee.
Coffee and conversation , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Playing cards , Travel/Sightseeing , Video games
Bowling, Other types of exercise, Tennis / Racquet sports, Weights / Machines
I exercise 1-2 times per week.
I don't believe in astrology
I like Cats, Dogs, Fish
I recently moved back to the Midwest. So I'm re-familiarizing myself with the suburbs and Chicago. Some places I like are the restaurants and bars in downtown Downers Grove. I also am a fan of Bottom Lounge in Chicago.
University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign, Champaign, IL
Music: MMW, Rush, Phish, Dada, the Cure, Radiohead, Beck, etc. TV: Fringe, Lost, the X-Files, Dexter. Boardgames: Scrabble, Settlers of Catan. Videogames: Aliens: Colonial Marines and various MMOs. Either a good beer or a margarita.
Play/practice/perform/write/record music. I like to play video games, watch TV and movies, go to theatres and concerts, hanging out at pubs and bars. Going on road trips and exploring different cities is great. I enjoy card and board games.
"Reamde" and "Zodiac", both by Neal Stephenson. I'm planning on re-reading another one of his books "Snowcrash" and Robert Jordan's "Wheel of Time" series.

When in Geneva Server Beta 2 you try to configure and use Windows Integrated Authentication, it may not prompt for credentials and instead you receive an error message:
- When connecting from another computer, you may see the following error message:
- And when you connect from the same server, the more detailed error is displayed:
The error messages indicate that Windows Authentication is disabled, but when you check the IIS configuration it shows as if it were enabled:
So, where is the error?
In IIS 7 the overall configuration file is stored in C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config\applicationHost.config. The file contains some configurations that apply to the whole server, some configurations that apply to each site, and some that apply to a specific path. If you scroll down the file until you see the "FederationPassive" location configuration, you'll see that Windows Authentication is disabled. That is OK except that it is also removing the authentication providers, so no child location can use Windows Authentication without them!
Open applicationHost.config in a text editor. Find the <location> tag related to Windows Integrated Authentication and modify it to look like the following:
Configuration section
Below you'll find the complete configuration section that you can copy and paste onto your applicationHost.config file.
<location path="Default Web Site/FederationPassive/auth/integrated" >
<anonymousAuthentication enabled="false" />
<windowsAuthentication enabled="true"
useKernelMode="true" useAppPoolCredentials="true">
<add value="Negotiate" />
<add value="NTLM" />
<handlers accessPolicy="Read, Script" />
When you save the file, IIS will automatically reload the configuration, so you don't need to restart any service.
Hope this helps!
Visual Studio Load Testing: Optimizing Performance Lab Time
June 4th, 2009
When modeling a Web Application's responsiveness with an increasing User Load, you usually configure a Load Test Mix with a Step based Load Pattern, run the test until the Response Time goes above a certain response time, and then manually stop the test. This requires some of your time monitoring the test progress and having to intervene to stop the test.
Wouldn't be nice if this was automated? Fortunately this can be easily achieved through the use of a custom Load Test Plugin (ILoadTestPlugin) and a configured Threshold. (Custom load test plugins were improved in VS2008SP1 and are also available in VS 2010, used in the creation of this blog post.) This will save you (the Tester) the trouble of having to manually monitor the load test and stop it when the threshold is exceeded.
Let's take a look at how this can be implemented in code:
Creating a Load Test Plug-in that stops the Load Test when a threshold is exceeded
Load Test Plug-ins allow custom code to be executed when a load test starts, ends, or when a threshold was exceeded, among other events. We'll create a Custom Load Test Plug-in that attaches itself to the ThresholdExceeded event and stops the test.
- Create a Class Library project.
- Add a reference to the Microsoft.VisualStudio.QualityTools.LoadTestFramework assembly.
- Create a class named CustomLoadTestPlugin and complete it with the following code (VS2008 and VS2010):
using System; using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.LoadTesting; public class CustomLoadTestPlugin : ILoadTestPlugin { private LoadTest test; public void Initialize(LoadTest loadTest) { if (loadTest == null) { throw new ArgumentNullException("loadTest"); } this.test = loadTest; loadTest.ThresholdExceeded += new EventHandler<ThresholdExceededEventArgs>(OnThresholdExceeded); } void OnThresholdExceeded(object sender, ThresholdExceededEventArgs e) { if (e.ThresholdResult == ThresholdRuleResult.Critical && e.CounterValue != null && e.CounterValue.CounterName == "Avg. Test Time") { this.test.Scenarios[0].CurrentLoad = 0; this.test.Abort(); } } }
- Build the Load Test Plug-in solution
Note: If you'd like to get more information about creating a Load Test Plug-in, see the following link.
Using the Custom Load Test Plug-in
- Open the Load Test Configuration (.loadtest) you'd like to modify.
- Using Solution Explorer, add a reference to the Load Test Plug-In (either to the Load Test Plug-In project or to the compiled assembly).
- Add a Compare Constant threshold rule on the Avg. Test Time counter. To do this, Expand the Counter Sets | LoadTest | Counter Categories | LoadTest:Test element, right click on the Avg. Test Time counter and select Add Threshold Rule.
- Add the Load Test Plug-In to the test run. To do this, right click on the Load Test Name (the top element) and choose Add Load Test Plug-in. On the window that opens, select CustomLoadTestPlugin and hit OK.
- That's it, you should now run the Load Test and see if it stops after your configured threshold.
Hope this saves you time. If you'd like to learn more ways to extend Visual Studio Load Testing, check Bill Barnett's article.

Happy testing!
Let's assume you often run Performance Tests and your application outputs a log file that you manually backup on every test run. You can automate the process using a Collector, a new feature that ships with Visual Studio 2010.
Note: For a great introduction on Data Collectors in Visual Studio 2010 Beta1, please check Amit's blog.
This post is meant to answer the question: How can I create my own Data Collector in Visual Studio 2010?
Steps to create a Performance Collector
Let's create a Performance Collector that generates a log file and copies it to the Test Results folder:
- Create a Class Library Project (C# 4.0).
- Add a reference to Microsoft.VisualStudio.PerformanceTools.DataCollection and Microsoft.VisualStudio.QualityTools.ExecutionCommon. Both assemblies can be found in the %DevEnvDir%\PrivateAssemblies folder, and should only be used for extending Visual Studio.
- Create a new class. Assign it a name, like CustomLogDataCollector.
- Add the following using declarations above the class name.
- Make the class inherit from DataCollector (Microsoft.VisualStudio.PerformanceTools.DataCollection namespace).
- Decorate the class name with the DataCollectorFriendlyName, DataCollectorTypeUri and DataCollectorDescription attributes. The Uri needs to be unique for Visual Studio to identify the Collector, it is usually created in a Company/CollectorName/Version hierarchy, as shown below.
- Add a property of type IDataCollectorSink and implement the DoInitialize method to capture the IDataCollectorSink value. An IDataCollectorSink allows the Collector to interact with the Test Results folder.
- Override the SessionEnd method and invoke the IDataCollectionSync's SendFileAsync method to copy the log file contents into the Test Results folder. In the example below I'm simulating a log file by creating a HelloWorld.txt file with a log line. It's very easy to adapt this to your own environment!
- Build the project. Copy the project's DLL into the %DevEnvDir%\PrivateAssemblies\DataCollectors folder.
That's it! Now it's time to enjoy your first Custom Collector.
Using the custom Data Collector in your Test Project
To use the Data Collector for your Test Project you just need to:
- In Solution Explorer, double click on the ".testsettings" file (the project's test run configuration) to open the configuration editor.
- Select the Execution Criteria configuration from the list on the left. In the Collectors section on the right, scroll down until you see "Your custom collector1″. Make sure the Enabled checkbox is selected and click Apply and then Close.
- Start a Load Test run.
- Wait until the Load Test run is completed. On the Test Results window, click the Test run completed link.
- Verify that there is a file named HelloWorld.txt in the Collected Files section, as shown below. Clicking the link will open the file in your configured text editor.
Next steps
This was a quick introduction on how to create custom Collectors for your Test Projects. Now that you have it working, you can augment it by creating:
- An installer that copies the DLL file to PrivateAssemblies\DataCollectors folder
- A class to hold the Collector's configuration
- A visual editor for the Data Collector's options
I hope you can find a good use for this, and your feedback is greatly appreciated.
On the Semantic Web: SPARQL queries
January 9th, 2009
On my previous posts I wrote about what the Semantic Web is, and how to design your information to be stored on a Semantic Web system. Now it's time to get the juice out of the data, by using the SPARQL query language, which was designed specifically for this purpose.
Thinking in triples
When doing SPARQL queries, you need to think in triples. For example, if you'd like to query for all persons that have a pet whose name is "Duke", you could write the following query.
You may wonder what are the different parts of the SPARQL query, and how to write one query of our own. We'll get to that later.
Triple patterns can be chained to each other, to form complex queries. In the first line of the example above, I'm saying "bring me the Name of a person"; when chained to the second pattern, I'm saying "The person '?person' should be the owner of a pet" (note: in this context the only usage of custom:Owner is the one I'm talking about, otherwise I'd have to specify that ?pet is of type Pet) so "Bring me the name of a person that is owner of a pet". As you may have already guessed, when adding the third pattern, I'm saying "and also, the pet's name should be 'Duke'".
Note: To enhance the potential of triple patterns, SPARQL has the FILTER, OPTIONAL and UNION keywords, to have a granular control on which triples are returned.
Namespaces and Ontologies
Even if I haven't written about ontologies yet, you can think of them as namespaces, that group similar concepts in a certain context. It is not the same to say "Ink" in a printer store than in a digital tablet concept. Also, certain assumptions or inferences apply just to one context; following the example, the printer ink wears out where the digital ink does not.
Generally, an ontology is related one to one with a namespace.
Namespaces in SPARQL work as a shortcut to avoid typing in the full namespace of an element. It saves much time when typing custom:Name instead of http://mySite/MySchema/Name, and also it helps improve readability. In most Semantic Web Software (like IMM), standard namespaces are automatically added by the engine to avoid repeating the prefixes.
Query output
On the query above, the "output columns" is a comma-separated list of values that are returned as columns. All of the SELECT variables must appear on the WHERE part, but the opposite is not true: there is no need to list every WHERE variable on the SELECT part.
Note: In SPARQL, there are 4 ways to perform queries: SELECT, CONSTRUCT, ASK and DESCRIBE. SELECT is the most common for simple queries; it returns a table whose fields are the values obtained from matching (binding) the triple patterns in the WHERE part. CONSTRUCT and DESCRIBE return an RDF graph that is built from matching the triple patterns in the WHERE part; CONSTRUCT is conceptually similar to the views in relational database: DESCRIBE is used to retrieve additional details about the matched triples. Finally, ASK is for doing boolean queries and works very similar to the Exists function in relational databases.

On the Semantic Web: How is the information stored?
December 19th, 2008
On my previous article, I wrote about what the Semantic Web is without actually showing how the information is transmitted and stored. This article assumes that you are a technical savvy person, and you would like to know how to design your applications for the Semantic Web.
When you design a system in an Object Oriented way, you think in entities within a domain model. These business objects are usually mapped to Database rows, which are stored in tables. These database tables have a rigid schema, which is very complicated to update and maintain.
What happens if I want to create a new version of the system, whose business entities have different information stored? I would have to create a migration script, which will make the database unavailable for a certain time, and for most large databases the downtime is large enough to make the migration unaffordable.
Message-oriented middleware (MOM) databases have an interesting approach that tackles the issue. Each business object is part of a message that is exchanged between services. MOM databases store the entire message in one special field (column) within a data table (usually of XML type), allowing them to evolve the schema for their message entities and keep the DB schema (there is no DB downtime). Each entity is carefully designed to use simple data types and have an unique ID (to be uniquely identifiable). Having a standard representation helps easier the migration path when the business objects have their schema partially modified (an old application can just have their mapping information updated, and there is no need to update the DB schema).
Designing Entities
If you design the business data storage using a similar design as MOMs, your entities will look like the following:
- Every entity will have an unique identifier that will become their identity within the system (and probably with external systems) and will be of a type.
- Every entity will have their data and relationships drawn as a directed graph
- Every data will have their type information embedded (so a person's photo can be interpreted as a bitmap)
Following these principles will lead you to entities that are easy to represent and transmit in standard formats such as RDF or plain XML. Designing entities with unique identifiers also help synchronizing information that is related to a single entity.
Representing entities in RDF
The Semantic Web standardizes the way each entity is transmitted (and imported/exported) from Semantic Web systems. The entity we described in the preceding section can be represented in RDF as:
Evidently, most RDF entities will be much more complex than this example yet the example is useful to note:
- The type information is implicit when using a custom namespace and Tag name
- The unique identifier is standardized within RDF
- Attributes and relationships are stored as child tags
What is the logic behind RDF?
The sample entity is actually a collection of facts about the entity (representation). The facts are:
- Entity http://people/johnDoe is of type Person
- http://people/johnDoe has a Name of "John Doe" (string literal)
Semantic Web applications combines these facts with logic to represent more complex queries (for example, querying the list of HumanBeings (synonym) should return John Doe in the results).
The directed graph and the collection of facts are different views of the same information. Every piece of information is stored as: [Entity] [Relationship] [Value], which is the same as [Subject] [Predicate] [Object]. This is also known as triple pattern in SPARQL.
In natural language, you could write [Orson Welles] [was born on] [May 6, 1915]. It is the same when relating 2 entities: [Orson Welles] [directed] [Citizen Kane] *. The entities don't have to be of the same type (in this example I'm relating a Person to a Movie).
(*) A better design would be to design [Citizen Kane] [was directed by] [Orson Welles], but let's put this discussion off for now.
Can't I just design a database this way?
Simplifying the model, you could have tables with the "Subject", "Predicate" and "Object" columns. The first 2 columns could be unique identifiers (a relationship must also be identifiable) where the last column should be a special field that can store either a reference to another entity (URI), a literal value (string, date/time, decimal, etc.) or a blob.
For simple facts and queries this approach may work. It could even be the starting point for Semantic Web system. Things get more complicated when adding validations (you can't have more than 1 birthday but you can have more than 1 name) or inferences that generate new information ( "A isMotherOf B" whenever "B is child of A andAlso A is a woman"). This is why Semantic Engines are built (they hide the complexity of storage and provide an interface to access the Semantic information).
Products like IMM work with a backend database, and they use an intermediate component to encapsulate the process of retrieving and storing entities, and performing queries.
What's next?
I'm planning to write an article about SPARQL (the Semantic Web querying language, standardized by the W3C) and ontologies, which give a context (and a meaning within the context) to the Semantic Web information, setting a common language.
On the Semantic Web: An introduction
December 18th, 2008
Many people say that Web 3.0, the "Semantic Web", is coming. But what is the Semantic Web all about?
In the beginning, Internet was created as a way to share information between people in different organizations, like universities and research centers. In the early 90's the Internet became of public usage and grew exponentially, and so grew the information shared by people. An automated way to process the always increasing amount of information was needed. Nowadays, it is not enough to only use a keyword-based Web Search Engine to find the information on the web. This is where the Semantic Web comes in.
The Semantic Web represents the collection of standards that were created to share information not only between humans but also between the machines. It starts by defining a common language (XML) and representation for the shared data (RDF). But the Semantic Web requires more than a common language and representation.
Do computers "understand" RDF?
In order for machines to be able to process the information, machines must not only be able to read the information but also to "understand" them. I'm referring not only to understanding that "<sw:Developer>" is an XML tag in a namespace, but also that Developer represents an entity within a context (Ontology).
In order to retrieve the information that is put in RDF (XML) under a specific Ontology (OWL), a query language is needed. That is why SPARQL was created, and also to provide basic inferences; for example, every "Developer" is an "Southy" (within the company context ), so you will probably want to query for "all Southies" instead of Developers. A programmer can then create SPARQL queries that the systems use to retrieve this interchangeable information.
Queries in the Semantic Web
So how does a SPARQL query look like?
In the example below, I want to answer the following question "How can we choose 2 people that had worked together, both have a high English level and at least 1 has management skills?"
PREFIX sw: <http://southworks.net/core/testOntology>
SELECT ?x ?y
?x sw:workedWith ?y ;
sw:hasMgmtSkills "true"^^xsd:boolean;
sw:englishLevel "high".
?y sw:englishLevel "high".
This is a complex query where I'm querying not only for facts but also information that is inferred from these facts.
Note: For an interesting example of Advanced SPARQL queries in IMM, please see http://blogs.msdn.com/imm/archive/2008/10/28/advanced-sparql-in-imm.aspx
Evolving the Semantic Web
There is no need to be too sceptic to see that humans still need to write the queries, and there is still no released commercial system that answer natural language questions which are translated to SPARQL queries (products like Cypher are still in Beta). What will the future bring on this side may depend on the evolution of these standards and the evolution of massive parallel computing.
I've left out an important detail though, that the information made available is naively trusted. When these systems publish and consume the information on the Internet, there must be a way to prove that the information is true, and to establish a trust relationship with the publisher (as we humans do). So far there are no implementations of an actual trust network, but plans for a public network based on a Public Key Infrastructure may turn into pillars for the future Trusted Semantic Web.

Workaround for flaw in Windows Server 2008 RC0 + .NET 3.5 JSON services
November 7th, 2007
In Windows Server 2008 RC0 + .NET 3.5, JSON services do not work. An exception message is returned. If behavior is enabled, a "Method not found" exception is returned.
Windows Server 2008 RC0 has an incorrect version of the System.Runtime.Serialization.dll file. In that DLL, the DataContract class does not contain a GetIdForInitialization method (which is invoked form System.ServiceModel.Web). The Windows Vista version contains that method, as shown below:
Use the System.Runtime.Serialization.dll file from the Windows Vista version.
Escaping string literals in XML (C#)
September 6th, 2007
If you are creating XML documents or fragments from a String (for example, when using a template engine to create XML fragments), you may have wondered if there is a .NET method that escapes the string.
For those cases, this code snippet may come in handy:
string escaped = SecurityElement.Escape("This is being escaped!");
You can obtain more information about this method in this page.

Bay Area Bites Guide To 5 Movie Theaters Serving Food and Alcoholic Beverages
Date night just got easier with this list of five local theaters that serve more than just popcorn and Junior Mints.
The Jack London District might finally get something it's been lacking since its booming development: a real grocery store.
A first impression of Lungomare, Jack London Square's new Italian-inspired restaurant from Chop Bar's Chris Pastena.
The 3rd Annual Eat Real Festival kicked off their food extravaganza this past weekend. I've attended the event since its inception and have always come away with a full, happy belly.
Goats, chickens, bees, home coffee roasting, Korean tacos, a paella pan as big as a waterbed: the Eat Real Festival returns to Jack London Square to celebrate the joys of street food and DIY urban living.
The trick, I realized, was to pick one long line–like the one for Seoul Food's Korean tacos– and then send your friends out on recon missions to the shorter lines, so you'd have something to eat while you waited in line for something to eat.
Where the recent SF Street Food Festival skipped actual street food for slimmed-down restaurant eats, Eat Real did keep it real, with taco trucks, soul food ribs and the Sexy Soup Lady in a pink apron straddling her three-wheeled soup cart. And the prices were right, too, with nothing over $5.
