Eileen Canney Joins Softball Staff As Pitching Coach
Sept. 12, 2011
CHICAGO - UIC head softball coach Michelle Venturella announced Monday morning the addition of two-time All-American and two-time Big Ten Pitcher of the Year Eileen Canney to the Flames coaching staff.
"We are extremely fortunate to have Eileen join our UIC softball family," said Venturella. "She has one of the best softball resumes' in the country. Not only did she dominate when she played at Northwestern, but she continued to find success on a national and international level, which gives her a unique perspective into our sport. Along with Eileen's accomplishments as a player, she brings a personality that everyone will enjoy. I couldn't be more pleased to have her join our program."
Canney joins the UIC staff with a wealth of playing experience, including a four-time letterwinner at Northwestern, which included a second- and third-place finish at the Women's College World Series and a two-time All-American. She then was a member of two national softball teams, an international squad and most recently, the United States National Team.
"I couldn't be more excited to be a part of the UIC family," said Canney. "I moved from Calif. to Chicago in 2003 to attend Northwestern and pitch for the Wildcats, and I have been infatuated with the city and its rich softball culture ever since. As a cross-town opponent, I witnessed firsthand the strength of the Flames' softball program, and now I eagerly anticipate moving to the other dugout and growing with a new family. All of the pieces are in place to take this program to great heights, and I am grateful for the opportunity to be a part of the journey."
In addition to her playing experience, Canney coached the 2011 Under Armour All-American high school game, where she led the nation's 30 best high school softball players as they showcased their talents during the ESPN RISE games. Canney also provides private instructions that develop upcoming players both physically and mentally.
Canney's accomplishments as a player are evident as the Paradise, Calif. native was a member of the Northwestern softball team from 2003-07. During her rookie year (2004) she was named the Big Ten Freshman of the Year, in addition to being an all-Big Ten and NFCA all-Mideast Region selection each season (2004-07). During the 2006 season Canney assisted her team to a second-place finish at the Women's College World Series, which propelled her to be named to the all-tournament team, in addition to earning her first All-American honor and Big Ten Pitcher of the Year award.
Canney again returned the Wildcats to the Women's College World Series during her senior campaign (2007), where Northwestern placed third. The standout pitcher earned her second All-American and Big Ten Pitcher of the Year accolades, in addition to being named to the USA Softball Player of the Year Watch List. After her tenure with the Wildcats, Canney played for the New England Riptide, a national professional fast pitch team, during the 2007-08 seasons. She was a two-time all-National Pro Fastpitch (NPF) selection, while also leading the league in strikeouts and ERA.
Canney then returned to Chicago and played for the Chicago Bandits (2009-11), where she was again selected to the all-NPF team and was named the 2009 National Pro Fastpitch Pitcher of the Year. The pitcher took her talent overseas as she is one of only seven Americans who were invited to play in the Japan Softball League.
As a member of the United State National Team (2010-11) she has pitched in multiple international competitions and earned three gold medals in 2010. The first medal was at the IPF World Championships in Venezuela, followed by the Japan Cup and then the KFC World Cup of Softball.
A native of Paradise, Calif., Canney earned a bachelor's degree in human development and psychological services from Northwestern in 2007.

Phone interview by Denise Maher
Q:First of all, you made a hairstyle famous, but you also made it cool for women to have a practical look that allowed for an active lifestyle. Looking back, how does that make you feel?
DH: It still surprises me because I always hated my short hair. My mother would run around the house with a comb trying to brush my hair and I never let her so that's when she said, "ok, we'll just keep it short" because I had tangled hair. I just find it really quite humorous that people copied my haircut, the haircut I had. As an athlete, skating all the time, being able to wash and wear hair was really important to me. I found I tried to grow my hair but for my life, it's just not practical, having long hair. And of course, as we age, everything changes, the bones get a little stiffer, the skin changes, so trying to remain healthy and keep the great skin I had, trying to keep it hydrated and keep fit and eat properly, all of those things are some of the tips we've put together for this.
Q: I think you helped make it easier for women to work out publically, perhaps because they're less concerned about messing up their hair or skin. Do you think women today are better equipped to deal with chapped skin and sweaty hair?
DH: Absolutely. There are wonderful products now so we don't have to have chapped skin. But I think there's something nice and very fresh looking about when you just come off of a work-out, whether it's skating or basketball or tennis, or whatever sport, jogging, to sort of have this ready, sweaty messed-up look. We have things now that we didn't have when I was a kid growing up. First of all, we didn't have Title IV I know Peggy Fleming opened a lot of doors for me and hopefully I've opened a few doors for others. Really, there's nothing like seeing someone who's just worked out and there's no feeling like it in the world. As hard as it is to get out there and do it, it just feels so good once you've done it. Yeah, I think it's okay for women to feel like that. Of course, I'm much older than you and more your demographic and I'm a subscriber, its great that your magazine provides all this information so we can be right up to date on everything that's known and hopefully have healthier, longer, lives. Longer, but healthier as well.
Q: I'm curious to know if, as someone who's been in the skating world for so many years, if you are curious to see any of the "older", maybe non-American women skaters who are coming out or coming back. Is there anyone you admire for sticking with it for so long?
DH: Sasha Cohen. You said non-American but Sasha is the one who comes to mind because she just competed at the US nationals and she didn't qualify for our Olympic team, but she's been out of that competition, the world competition, for four years but she came back and was just stunning. She didn't do everything she needed to and she made mistakes – that's why she didn't qualify. So when you say older, in figure skating at the elite level, 26 is really old. So those of us who don't compete at that level – you know, move it or lose it I always say. I'm mentoring a young lady, Rachael Flatt, who is our US champion, she's 17! So she has her whole life in front of her. I mentioned Peggy Fleming opened so many doors for me, Billie Jean King, she really started the whole women's sports, it's okay to be an athlete. It doesn't necessarily mean you're not feminine and beautiful and care about makeup. There's something very beautiful and fresh and sexy about being young and athletic
Q: So there's really no Dara Torres of figure skating right now. DH: No, there's not.
Q: What about someone like Lance Armstrong? Are there any breast cancer survivors or athletes that have competed after an illness, Olympic athletes, that you admire?
DH: Not in figure skating. I think I'm probably the oldest. I'm probably the oldest breast cancer survivor, Peggy Fleming doesn't skate anymore but she had breast cancer. Most of the women who are athletes that have had, Scott Hamilton of course, but most of us are too old to compete at that level. And we're pros. In our days, we were amateurs and once you turned professional you couldn't compete at the eligible status anymore. So most of the youngsters are too young, not that you can be too young to have cancer, but most haven't had to deal with those kind of problems.
Q: One more very important question. I would like you to tell me about your skate camps because I looked at the pictures online and I thought, "These have got to be MORE readers!"
DH: Last year I had an adult figure skating fantasy camp for the first time, and I wanted to keep it small because we wanted the ratio of students to coaches very…one-on-one virtually. We had a blast. It was Randy Gardner, Peter Carruthers and then my two coaches and choreographers. We had five days sort of what it's like in a fantasy world, to live the life of an ice skater. It's in Nantucket and we're doing it again this summer so go to my website and check out the figure skating fantasy camp. The only requirement is that you have your own skates. We take any levels, beginners. It would be fun to have MORE readers come join us!

Apparently confused, City Councilman Joe Addabbo, Jr. set up his podium at the rear of a room during a recent speaking engagement. "I think the job is taking a toll on Joe," said Community Affairs rep P.O. Pete Rahaniotis (of the 100 Precinct). "Several months ago, the guy showed up at a Christmas tree lighting ceremony dressed in St. Patrick's Day garb. He's starting to scare me."

Paprika Productions delivers a most poignant and passionate story, performed by the remarkable Nadia P. Manzoor. This autobiographical one woman show features a Pakistani young woman, beautiful both inside and out, raised in London with an overprotective, extremely strict Muslim upbringing, leaving her stifled emotionally. She was at constant odds and pressure to conform to her family's demands, yet always showed immense respect. She charismatically portrayed 21 characters onstage, all near and dear to her, replete with facial mannerisms and exquisite physical humor. The use of a scarf wrapped around her served as a unique prop, a perfect complement to the colorful scarves draping the set. In her quest for self identity and belonging, she portrays those most significant in her life, both in her formative and young adult years--accents, gestures and all.
The audience gets a vivid picture of her father, mother, brother, grandmother, boyfriend, college girlfriends, and professors at the university in Manchester she is privileged to attend. Nadia is a wonderfully astute actress, raised in North London, and has since moved from Singapore to Dubai; from Boston to Brooklyn. She was trained at Improvolution, a Groundlings based improv school in New York City. She so profoundly delves into her real life soul searching journey for happiness and inner peace. This story is so topical and timely today, as we are seeing so many incidents of oppression against women by Muslim extremists, and it's certainly time for these women, hidden behind the burqa, to express their true voice. Written and performed by Nadia Manzoor, and directed and developed by Tara Elliott, this show will help transform these women who have been trivialized to a very choked life, and allow their creative expression to flourish.
The actress is bouncy, vivacious, and mesmerizing, and at some points in the show, dances to the music of Bollywood, to the audience's delight. She so strongly yearns to break out of the world encasing her. In the end, one hopes for her to release her burqa and all it symbolizes, as she walks out the door, 'into the sunset,' as it were. This is a powerful, evocative look at a woman, symbolic of the struggle facing so many today. This is an out of the ordinary performance, premiering in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and London.

The NFL Draft is starting to come into focus as teams wind down evaluations for the first round on May 8. The tepid quarterback market has caused a handful of teams at the top of the draft to consider other positions or dealing out of the top spots. How quarterback-needy teams like Houston, Jacksonville and Oakland view this draft's quarterback crop will largely determine how the first round plays out.
In my first three mock drafts, I've predicted a trade down for the Saints and still think a scenario where a deal happens is possible. But for the purposes of this exercise, I will presume the Saints sit still at No. 27 and select the best player available.
I could see the Saints going in a number of directions at No. 27, with cornerback, interior offensive line, linebacker and wide receiver as the top priorities. I expect the Saints to address these positions in some capacity during the first three rounds of the draft.
|Jeff Duncan's NFL first-round mock draft:
|1. Houston - Blake Bortles, QB, Central Florida
|2. St. Louis- Sammy Watkins, WR, Clemson
|3. Jacksonville - Jadeveon Clowney, DE, South Carolina
|4. Cleveland - Khalil Mack, OLB, Buffalo
|5. Oakland -- Johnny Manziel, QB, Texas A&M
|6. Atlanta - Greg Robinson, OT, Auburn
|7. Tampa Bay - Jake Matthews, OT, Texas A&M
|8. Minnesota - Justin Gilbert, CB, Oklahoma State
|9. Buffalo - Eric Ebron, TE, North Carolina
|10. Detroit - Mike Evans, WR, Texas A&M
|11. Tennessee - Anthony Barr, LB, UCLA
|12. N.Y. Giants - Taylor Lewan, T, Michigan
|13. St. Louis - Calvin Pryor, S, Louisville
|14. Chicago - C.J. Mosley, LB, Alabama
|15. Pittsburgh - Ra'Shede Hageman, DT, Minnesota
|16. Dallas - Aaron Donald, DT, Pittsburgh
|17. Baltimore - Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, S, Alabama
|18. N.Y. Jets - Odell Beckham Jr., WR, LSU
|19. Miami - Zack Martin, T, Notre Dame
|20. Arizona - Teddy Bridgewater, QB, Louisville
|21. Green Bay - Brandin Cooks, WR, Oregon State
|22. Philadelphia - Bradley Roby, CB, Ohio State
|23. Kansas City - Marqise Lee, WR, USC
|24. Cincinnati - Dee Ford, OLB, Auburn
|25. San Diego - Kyle Fuller, CB, Virginia Tech
|26. Cleveland - Derek Carr, QB, Fresno State
|27. New Orleans - Ryan Shazier, LB, Ohio State
|Last week: Trade down. Analysis: Normally I don't consider linebacker a first-round position. But the more I think about it the more I like Shazier in this spot. He brings a skill set the Saints lack on the second level: range and cover skills. The Saints once again will be playing with a lot of leads and will need to improve their pass defense at the linebacker spot. Shazier is versatile, instinctive and owns the best cover skills of any linebacker in the draft. In many ways, he's a linebacker version of last year's first-round pick, Kenny Vaccaro. That one worked out OK, didn't it?
|28. Carolina - Kelvin Benjamin, WR, Florida State
|29. New England - Louis Nix, DT, Notre Dame
|30. San Francisco - Darqueze Dennard, CB, Michigan State
|31. Denver - Demarcus Lawrence, DE, Boise State
|32. Seattle - Xavier Su'a-Filo, G, UCLA
Check back later today for my latest seven-round mock draft for the New Orleans Saints. Here's last week's version: Jeff Duncan's seven-round mock draft.

The 50 Finest
The Editors | Photo: Angie Mosier and Andrew Thomas Lee | June 27, 2014
When it comes to good taste, Atlanta has it in spades. The city's Southern charm is evident in its wave of new tantalizing trattorias, beguiling brasseries and posh points of interest where menu magic, mixology moxie and dessert decadence deliver the goods. We're serving it all up right here. Hopefully, you've come hungry.
Dan Pernice and Ryan Pernice
This Roswell-raised dynamic duo have taken their hometown historic district by the taste buds. Both proteges of Danny Meyer—arguably one of the best restaurateurs in the country—it was Ryan, the younger of the two, who served as the driving force behind the opening of both the popular Southern spot Table & Main and the newer Italian trattoria Osteria Mattone. Eventually, Ryan lured his wine-savvy sommelier brother, Dan, from a James Beard-winning wine program at The Modern in New York City back home. Dan is now the beverage director of both restaurants. As this pair grow up (they're 28 and 30, respectively)... and grow their business—a dining dynasty seems underway. 1028 Canton St., Roswell, 678.869.5178; 1095 Canton St., Roswell, 678.878.3378
Thaddeus Barton and Lane Hajack
After mastering the kitchens in various Chicago eateries (including a stint under famed chef Grant Achatz), Barton is taking root south of the city. As the new executive chef at rustic-chic restaurant The Farmhouse at Serenbe, Barton is letting his true culinary prowess shine through a revamped menu of seasonally driven, garden-rich cuisine. His wife, Hajack, is also poised to break new ground at the helm of Serenbe's Blue Eyed Daisy Bakeshop, which involves developing an innovative new menu of local farm ingredients with a focus on baked goods and lighter fare. The culinary couple is taking this small idyllic town by storm. The Farmhouse, 10950 Hutcheson Ferry Road, 770.463.2622; Blue Eyed Daisy Bakeshop, 9065 Selborne Lane, Palmetto, 770.463.8379
Andy Minchow
Sure, Minchow is one of the most innovative mixologists the city has ever seen—but he's also much more. As a pioneer of Atlanta's craftcocktail scene who honed his skills at Holeman & Finch, his latest venture is a Kirkwood eatery-meets-cocktail bar, called Ration & Dram. It's garnered significant buzz, thanks to cheeky drink names (a Yo, Adrian!, anyone?), a small-batch beer and wine list and a pared-down food menu of sustainability-minded cuisine. Ration & Dram, 130 Arizona Ave. NE, 678.974.8380
Eddie Russell
The Food Network's new show Belly Up! premiered last month with— surprise!—this Atlanta-based chef as host. After stints at Hugh Acheson's Athens, Ga., standouts Farm 255 and 5 & 10, as well as Inman Park's Parish Foods & Goods, Russell is poised to be the star-making network's newest celebrichef. This summer, Russell will be enlightening viewers and revealing how bar food can be both delicious and sophisticated. He can do that because—besides working for some of the best kitchens in Georgia—he's been a private consultant for many Atlanta top spots, helping to develop stellar lineups. Who knew?

Where to look
Now that you know the jobs are out there, how do you find them? Steele says a good approach is to identify what you want to do and where you want to work.
"Temporary jobs can give you experience in industries
and careers you might not have otherwise thought of trying, without
a long-term commitment," says Steele.
Once you have zeroed in on a few choices, go directly to the companies and apply in person.
"Be bold and keen enough to go straight to the organization and express your interest in working with it," she says. "Ask immediately to fill out an application."
Today, people often rely on the speed and convenience of the Internet when applying for a job. Steele says this is a mistake.
"What you don't want to do is e-mail first," Steele points out. "There is too much spam, and your e-mail could easily be deleted. You're not a personality when you send an e-mail."
If you can't walk in the door, do the next best thing -- call. If you aren't able to immediately speak with the human resources person, leave a voice message saying who you are and that you are interested in working there. Follow up the phone call with an e-mail.
Another good way to find a temporary job is to get
the word out to everyone you know, Steele says. Word-of-mouth can
be one of the best ways to find employment. Steele recommends being
very specific about what you want and asking questions targeted
toward getting the answers you need.
People looking for temporary work often hit pay dirt in unexpected places, Steele says. For example, colleges and supermarkets often advertise temporary employment on the walls of their buildings.
"Some employers may use bulletin boards because they don't want to pay for ads," she says.
Doyle agrees that job opportunities often pop up in
unexpected places.
"I saw a sign on the counter in the deli department of my local supermarket advertising job openings and saw another sign at McDonald's," Doyle says.
In addition to word-of-mouth and window signs, don't
forget to look in the standard places -- online and in newspapers
and television. When searching online, use keywords such as "seasonal"
or "temp."

Matteo Guidicelli has re-tweeted a column of Ricky Lo on The Philippine Star this morning, April 9, 2014. Said column contains detailed information of his rumored relationship with Sarah Geronimo as well as several photos which were taken during the celebration of his birthday.
They (Sarah and Matteo) are still ignoring their fans and supporters call for admittance despite the circulation of their photos and videos online that almost confirm their boyfriend-girlfriend relationship. Last week, Matteo celebrated his birthday with friends, relatives, parents and Sarah Geronimo who was accompanied by Mommy Divine.
For some observers who have already seen the photos and watched the videos online, it was one of the happiest moments for the birthday boy because almost all of his love ones were present during that night. Aside from the powerhouse attendance, he also received a hug and a kiss for the pop princess who performed a duet with him to the tune of John Legend's All of Me.
A lot of people noticed that Matteo was a proud boyfriend to Sarah Geronimo during that night. He assisted and introduced his princess to his proud parents. Matteo received positive feed backs from them, according to him, they all love Sarah Geronimo. He added that his parents were amazed when they saw his princess. Despite his actions, Matteo is still keeping himself away from the questions linking his name to Sarah Geronimo.
He is still hesitant to admit his relationship with her. In an interview with reporters who were also present during that night, the hunk actor said he didn't want to say something because he also didn't want to make mistakes. That was his revelation several days ago, but today, things have changed for the hunk actor because he re-tweeted and encouraged everyone to read an article of Ricky Lo that confirm his relationship with Sarah.
In his column in The Philippine Star, Ricky Lo, one of the most respected entertainment journalists in the Philippines, confirmed the Sarah Geronimo-Matteo Guidicelli relationship. "Besides his girlfriend Sarah Geronimo (yes, she is!) who was, as reported by Funfare in a scoop last week, his VSG (Very Special Guest) on his 24th birthday party last March 28," Ricky Lo said. Was it Matteo's way of admitting his relationship with Mommy Divine's precious daughter?

Here's a list of some artists who have only had four #1 singles to date for their career: The Beach Boys, the Temptations, Eminem, Blondie, Bon Jovi, Cher, Jay-Z, Justin Timberlake, Rod Stewart, The Jackson 5, Kanye West. Pretty good crew, no? Bruno Mars can now count himself among the ranks of those four-timers, doing so in under three years, between his guest appearance on B.o.B.'s "Nothin' on You" (his first #1 with his first-ever appearance on record) and this week, when his Unorthodox Jukebox lead single "Locked Out of Heaven" takes over from Rihanna's "Diamonds" on top of the Hot 100.
The quartet of chart-toppers ("Nothin'," "Locked Out," "Grenade" and "Just the Way You Are") in just 30-something months is the quickest any male artist has gotten to four number ones in a long time—since the mid-'60s, when Bobby Vinton did so with "Mr. Lonely," "Blue Velvet," "Roses are Red (My Love)" and "There! I've Said It Again." Pretty good for a self-made guy that's mostly succeeded entirely on his own terms, without being part of any bigger scene or sound or anything. It'll be interesting to see how many more Bruno can rack up before all is said and done.
Rest of the chart is pretty boring, but it's funny to see that Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas" is entering the Top 40 for the first time this week, nearly 20 years after its release. The fact that it didn't have an official single release prevented it from charting back then, and rules against songs charting as repertory tracks prevented it from doing so since, but recent rule changes allowing old songs to re-chart mean that holiday sales and airplay of the song have it entering the chart at #38 this week.
Considering there's no reason for the song to specifically re-chart this holiday season aside from it being probably the most beloved Christmas pop song of maybe ever, it seems like it's pretty likely Carey's song will re-chart every December from now until the end of time. Seems fair to us.

Staged back in 1978 at what was then called Seattle Int'l Raceway in Kent, Wash., you are looking at the first Division 6 Super Pro champion…Team Firebird racer Dallas Isom who swept top honors with his "Old Smokey" Barracuda. Some of you old timers will recognize a few of the people (mostly racers) in this photo, which includes (left to right): Scott New, Craig Stradley, Jerry Nellis, Doug (kneeling), Brad New, age-11, NHRA Division 6 Director (and former Funny Car driver) Frank Hall, Isom, Bill New, Kerry Pagenkopf, Mike Hiatt, Danny Soran, Dave Goff, Harley Noe and Stan Soran. It will be fun returning to the place it all began…for the "Battle in Seattle" over Labor Day weekend.

The New York Mets ownership wants to sell $200 million worth of the team to new investors, parceled out in 10 minority stakes. So far, as WSJ's Brian Costa noted, the team has commitments from seven buyers — and on Thursday we learned the identity of one of them: Steve Cohen of hedge fun SAC Capital.
The Associated Press named Cohen as one of the limited partners while careful to emphasize, as the Journal did, that no sale will be completed until the team can secure deals for all 10 stakes. A spokesman for SAC Capital declined to comment to the Journal.
Over at WSJ's Deal Journal blog, our colleagues see the possibility that Cohen is making a play for a distressed asset. Yes, New York's National League team qualifies:
Cohen's involvement comes as he also tries to bid for the LA Dodgers, a process in which he made it to the second round last month.
The Mets, stung by an relationship owners Fred Wilpon and Saul Katz had with Bernie Madoff, had reached a deal last summer for hedge-fund giant David Einhorn to buy a $200 million stake, but that deal collapsed when Einhorn couldn't get all he wanted.

OSS is marked by free access to the software and its source code. Copyright-based OSS licenses permit users to use, change, improve and redistribute the software, which is designed and developed in a public, collaborative manner. OSS seems to be an example of a 'private provision of a public good'. While the supply-side microeconomics of OSS (individual characteristics of OSS developers, role of firms etc.) are well explored, it is not known which institutional and cultural factors explain different OSS activities across countries. For this reason, we perform a cross-country study analyzing how the number of OSS developers per inhabitants and the level of OSS activity of a country depend on institutional and cultural factors. Our findings are that a culture characterized by individualism/self-determination, abundance of social capital interpreted as interpersonal trust, an optimistic view of scientific progress, a low degree of regulation as well as good protection of intellectual property rights is favoring OSS activities. Our study thus contributes to the understanding of the role of cultural and institutional factors in general as well as in particular with respect to OSS. Additionally, it improves the understanding of the supply-side of OSS. jportal_jpjournal_00000016 2010-02-24T12:52:30.946Z 2010-12-17T11:54:16.478Z

Earning patterns for women working part-time contrast with full-timers'
May 14, 1999
Women who worked part-time—less than 35 hours per week—made up about one-fourth of all female wage and salary workers in 1998. Their median weekly earnings were $161, about 35 percent of the median for women working full-time. Earnings for men who worked part-time were $146. That was 9.3 percent lower than female part-timers' earnings.
[Chart data—TXT]
Unlike full-time workers, whose earnings increased for each successive 10-year age division within the 25-to-54 year category, weekly earnings for female part-timers were essentially the same regardless of age. Female part-timers younger than 25 or older than 55, however, earned less than did those in the central age groups.
Also in contrast to full-time workers, weekly earnings for both male and female part-timers varied little by race or Hispanic origin.
These earnings data are a product of the Current Population Survey. For more information, see "Highlights of Women's Earnings," BLS Report 928.

The SCAA understands and appreciates the position of the Association of Coffee Producing Countries (ACPC) on the current low price of coffee. The SCAA is concerned that prolonged periods of low prices will lead to hardship for the coffee growers and a deterioration in the overall quality of coffee being produced, and that this would have a very negative effect on coffee consumption worldwide. The SCAA therefore supports all measures that are designed to bring about better and fairer remuneration for coffee growers.
The SCAA believes that producers and the coffee industry should implement measures to raise the minimum standard of coffee. The elimination of "TRIAGE" from use in coffee beverages should reduce production surplus and should bring prices to more acceptable levels. The SCAA is keen to work with coffee producers to bring about an overall improvement in the quality of coffee, which, we believe, will bring about an increase in world consumption and better prices.
Founded in 1982, SCAA is the world's largest coffee trade association with over 2,500 members. SCAA members are located in over 40 countries and represent every aspect of the specialty coffee industry-from coffee growers to retailers. The SCAA's annual conference is held in a different U.S. city each year and is the coffee industry's largest gathering and exhibition. Dozens of workshops and roundtables on a variety of timely topics are attended by 8,000 participants, from cupping coffee to merchandizing. The exhibition hosts over 800 trade booths. SCAA's next Conference & Exhibition will be held in Miami Beach, Florida, April 20-23, 2001.
Coffee beans naturally possess cancer-fighting polyphenols, but only a limited number of polyphenols are usually extracted from the coffee grounds during brewing. Consequently, when the consumer throws out the used grounds, many of the healthy polyphenols are thrown away also.
"We've simply changed the roasting process, made it a little more efficient and found a way to keep more healthy compounds intact," said Dr. Thomas Slaga of the AMC Cancer Research Center, which developed the process along with Oncology Sciences Corp. (OSC).
The process is applied after the coffee beans are roasted in a traditional manner. This allows approximately 60% more polyphenols to be extracted from the coffee at the time of brewing. What this means to the coffee consumer is a healthier cup of coffee with 60% more polyphenols and no change in taste or aroma.
"The discovery of this process is an exciting find for a pharmaceutical company specializing in developmental cancer therapies," said Loretta Zapp, president and c.e.o. of OSC. OSC is closely affiliated with Denver-based AMC. "This process can lead to a healthier cup of coffee for the billions of people who drink it every day."
OSC and AMC Cancer Research Center are currently refining the research of the process-the first of its kind anywhere in the world, according to the companies. AMC has dedicated a section of its facility solely to this area of research, complete with a small batch roaster. Already substantially improved, the end result is expected to be a cup of coffee that contains 150-200% more polyphenols than today's ordinary cup of coffee.
OSC says it plans to license the beverage technology to a large coffee roasting company within the next 18 months. A portion of the profits from licensing the rights to the technology will go back into cancer prevention research.
The first project was named "Strengthening the Commercial Financial Management and Business Capacity of Small Coffee Producers/Exporters in Mexico and Nicaragua." The project's goal is to pilot new ways of helping the small producer by improving market access, developing suitable credit systems, and providing technical assistance for capacity building for small producers and exporter organization. The direct beneficiaries of the project will be 40 coffee producer organizations, their families, and communities or regions where they are located. The market linkages established by the project should enable small producers to participate in niche markets such as organic, gourmet and specialty and fair trade coffee markets, speculates the ICO.
The second project is called "Pilot Rehabilitation of Neglected Coffee Plantations into Small Family Production Units in Angola." Its immediate beneficiaries are resource-poor farmers who will participate in the rejuvenation of coffee plantations, and displaced families who will be allocated a piece of land to produce coffee and other crops.
The objectives of the project include demonstrating key elements of coffee rehabilitation plans by showing how production can be increased in abandoned coffee estates and how displaced people can be resettled.
The ICO is an intergovernmental organization established to serve the international coffee community by bringing producing and consuming countries together to exchange views and address policy issues.
The concern in India is that if other producers do not back the coffee retention scheme (CRS), the country could lose some of its 4% share of the world coffee export trade. With the Indian coffee plantation industry being highly export-oriented and the domestic market for the beverage stagnant, a cautious government will come out with a policy on the CRS only when the next ACPC meeting on the subject is held.
Vietnam is not a member of ACPC and is not bound by its decision to restrict coffee supplies. But observers say Hanoi's coffee exports revenues have fallen so far that it may be ready to consider a short-term clampdown on coffee exports to help longer-term revenues. Officials from Vietnam's ministry of agriculture and rural development and the Vietnam Coffee and Cocoa Association (Vicofa) met with Sergio Amaral, ACPC chairman, to listen to the ACPC argument for using the strategy.

SOUTH DENNIS -- Around 12:40 p.m. Tuesday, July 3, 2012, the Dennis Fire Department responded to a structure fire at 156 Main Street in South Dennis.
Arriving crews found the back deck of the single-story ranch-style house ablaze. Flames were creeping up the back wall and into the eaves.
This was the second time in three days the department responded to a fire involving propane gas tanks on the back deck of a residential structure (see Sunday's fire here).
In Tuesday's fire, there were two propane tanks stored in a wooden box on the deck. They were not attached to a grill. The next-door neighbors reported hearing a hissing sound and saw a jet of fire streaming from the box containing the tanks.
Crews quickly knocked down the fire and then searched for extension. Fire damage was primarily restricted to the back deck and sidewall of the house, with smoke and water damage to the interior.
Investigators from the Dennis Fire Department reported that the pressure relief valves on both tanks had released but were unable to determine the ignition source that sparked the fire.
Dennis Fire Chief Mark Dellner commended the fire attack crews from their aggressive work. "They took care of business. With the propane hazard this could have turned into a nasty scene real quick without their rapid response and professional actions."

The Last Boyfriend
Nora Roberts
May 2012, Contemporary Romance
Berkeley, $16.00, 352 pages, Amazon ASIN 0425246035Part of a series
There's not much one can say about Nora Roberts that hasn't already been said in the 100+ reviews AAR staffers have written for her books. Her popularity, quality, and role in the romance world has evolved, and right now for me she has settled in comfortably as a go-to author who is always enjoyable, but rarely wows me. The Last Boyfriend falls very much into that category: Good, but not particularly groundbreaking - unless you really, really like interior decorating and carpentry, in which case this book will be the best of the year for you.
This book more or less picks up after the end of The Next Always, the first book in her Inn Boonsboro trilogy. In this novel, Owen Montgomery, the "details man" of the family contracting business, and Avery McTavish, owner of the popular local pizza joint, are long time friends turned lovers. They were each other's first boyfriend and girlfriend, at the tender ages of 8 and 5, and Avery had proudly declared that she would marry Owen. Twenty-something years later, they are still very close friends when something in their relationship shifts, and they start seeing one another in a different light.
This book doesn't have a particularly active plot. There's the inn's benevolent ghost "Lizzie," whose life and death become a bit of a mystery, and Avery has some commitment issues after being abandoned by her mother at the age of twelve. And, of course, there is a lot - a lot - of self-satisfied discussion of furnishings, the perfect shelf placement, and lamps. Yes, it does sound lovely, but it's more decorating porn than anything else, and a bit pretentious.
One thing I couldn't help but notice was the lack of financial concerns. This book, like Ms. Roberts' Bride quartet, seems to take place in a fantasy world where money doesn't exist. It is not that the characters are extravagantly wealthy the way Roarke is in the In Death books, it is that these are small business owners who are working on major developments or expansions, and I don't think the word "budget" appeared once in the entire novel. Considering the economic state of our country, it felt tone-deaf.
Given these complaints, you might wonder why I gave this book the grade that I did. That is because the heart of the story - the romance between Owen and Avery - is lovely. I loved them individually, and I loved them together. Their friendship-turned-romance was believable, authentic, and deeply felt. The friendships and relationships in this book were all strong, and I enjoyed the parts in which Ms. Roberts laid the groundwork for the third book in the trilogy.
Yes, this book is a bit pretentious, and yes, this book's lavish descriptions of upholstery and window treatments and accent lamps made my eyes glaze over sometimes. But in the end, Avery and Owen made me keep reading.

With multi-processor Athlon support becoming all the rage nowadays, someone just has to check out the MP boards. accelenation has taken up the gauntlets and reviewed the Tyan Tiger MP Motherboard. here's a snip:
"The reason the Tiger MP has me going is because it is the first Dual Athlon board that is truly affordable. At ~$220 online, this board is well within the range of pricing for desktop motherboards. what's more, the Tiger MP hasn't sacrificed very much to get to that price. don't get me wrong, if you want a high-class workstation board, the Thunder K7 is still a better option, but for the average dual processor user, the Tiger MP is much more attractive."

I work for G4S Edmonton and they are a very good management and very professional. They treat you with respect,and schedule you with no problems. I don't know what this person is talking about because the office is always very professional and I never have problems with my schedule. I am always treated fairly and you are always given good shifts with days off when you need it. They help and listen if you have problems if you have them. You are part of a really good group hear and very good in the city of Edmonton.

I have worked at my site for over 5 years and have seen many management changes at this branch and they are all for the better!! The new management that has been there for the past year or so treat you with respect, fairly, help you with any questions, and want to place you at the best site that works with yoru schedule. you don't find that with many security companies (coming from BC) so I am very happy where I am. Alot of companies play favorites with thier guards but this branch doesn't. You are treated fairly and get to work at really good sites in downtown edmonton airport shell scotford or Td banks. many good good sites to choose from!

Can you tell I've been into t-shirt upcycling projects lately? Here's another idea from Rebecca at Better Life Bags for turning those old tees and button downs into baby bibs. Rebecca says, "When my son was born, I had the biggest distaste for baby bibs. I hated how "babyish" they looked, yet I knew how functional they were for drool, food, etc… So, I came up with an alternative. Bibs made out of upcycled shirts!"
What I love about these bibs is that even older kids can get away with wearing them since they don't have that "baby" look to them. Even a three-year-old can make a big ol' mess with a bowl of yogurt. Find a cool graphic tee at a thrift store (or in one of your closets), and you're all set!

Diversity our strength. Riiiight.
You know, it really wouldn't be that difficult, from a methodological perspective, to get a pretty good idea of what immigration really costs us. The federal, provincial, and municipal governments could get a pretty good idea using SIN numbers as well as the budgets of various departments. But they don't…because they are afraid of the answers.
We are often told that we need immigration to help the economy. We never get to see the math. When I hear that, I ask myself what about the Air India bombing. Think about it…the last time I heard, the investigation and trial cost $300 million alone. How many immigrants working and paying taxes would it take to recover the cost of that alone? And that doesn't include the value of all the subsequent insurance claims and lawsuits. One aberrant event like that wipes out vast swaths of any contribution we get from immigrants.
Couldn't agree with you more on this. I found out the Canadian government even said they were sorry . As far as I know it was not Canadian born that even caused this but it is Canadian born that has to pay for it. As you say this can't ever be repaid by immigrants paying taxes. We wonder why we are so far in debt!!!
Yep. It should have been India apologizing to _us_, not the other way around. I don't know where our leaders' heads are at, but I can take a pretty good guess!
"The Fraser Institute report says newcomers pay about half as much in income taxes as other Canadians but absorb nearly the same value of government services, costing taxpayers roughly $6,051 per immigrant and amounting to a total annual cost of somewhere between $16.3-billion and $23.6-billion."
Regarding the Air India bombing incident and comparing that paltry sum of $300,000,000 it cost Canadians over a stretched period of some 20 years. That huge expenditure is actually less than one week's worth of immigrant support costs.
Read the story HERE.
Canada's immigration fiasco is a net loss to Canadians each and every day, and only benefits those lucky immigrants (mostly NON-whites) who are able to gain entry to our land of pandering fools.
If Canada was being operated as a business enterprise (it is!), we'd be bankrupted with a month (we are!), and the only people that derive any benefit are needless foreigners crowding our space with a tremendous cost advantage in their favour.
Imagine Canadians spending $23 BILLION every year on maintaining our own roads, bridges, buildings, etc… plus the Canadian jobs created as a result of that spent money. Instead, we fritter away that vast sum on un-needed foreigners who are surely displacing us and changing our once-stable homogenous population into a multi-culti morass!
"Windsor West MP Brian Masse thanked the new immigrants for choosing "to build your futures with us."
"We have a great country, best in the world, but it needs work," said Masse. "That comes from the people. (ie immigrants)" "
Ask your M.P. — do they second these opinions?? Then you are NOT in touch with the interests and values of Canadians, which is your only claim to legitimately represent them.
We have a great country…. but it needs work???? From other people??
How offensive to me and all Canadians. Quit trying to displace me and my people and call it enrichment.
It is genocide. Diversity = anti-white.
It means that the program of doing away with all white people to the point where Europe and America are to be majority non-white in this century— it requires a lot more than merely changing this immigration policy.
Stop a minute Mr Masse and think about what you are promoting. Would it be acceptable to ANY other culture or ethnic group around the world?
Africa for the Africans, Asia for the Asians, White Countries for Everyone
DIVERSITY is just a codeword for anti-white. More diverse = less white. How much more offensive can you get??? Diversity means Genocide. Anti-racist is just a codeword for anti-white.
Every white country on earth is supposed to become multicultural and multiracial. EVERY white country is expected to end its own race and end its own culture. No one asks that of ANY non-white country.
This is genocide.
If mere discrimination is cause for affirmative action, genocide is far more so. Which means that the program of doing away with all white people to the point where Europe and North America are to be majority non-white in this century requires a lot more than merely changing this policy. It calls for affirmative action at a far higher level to make up for this criminal behavior.
Will I be needing a multipass to watch the premiere?
What's the date for this? Has it happened yet?
No society has a single monoculture. What constitutes culture changes over time. Similarly no society has a single genetic ethnic marker. Your comments and ideas are stuff of dreams and legends. Wake up.
Go to any Canadian urban hospital and you will see the general wards filled with the aged parents of new immigrants getting costly surgery at the expense of the taxpayer. When they get their surgery, they invariably go back to their homeland… laughing all the way.
SO I take it you guys will join us in attacking evangelical Christian prosletization in India? After all, India is based on Hindu cultural bedrock, and the erosion of such a bedrock with foreing Christian and Islamic influences erodes that fabric. RIGHT? I'll make a deal with you, I will attack multi culti-ism in 'white nations' as long as you attack predatory Christian evangelism in India. If YOU support JUDEO CHRISTIAN supremacy in the West, you must accept the total suopremacy of HINDUISM in India. RIGHT???
Actually, I am against missionaries of any stripe.
Frankly, I don't think anyone should be allowed to go abroard and either proselytise to the natives, or provide artificial feeding to failed human populations (for the exact same reason we're not to artificially feed starving deer.)
Want to help people? There's people at home who need help. Want to spread the word? Do it from your pulpit – anyone who wants to hear what you have to say will come to you.
Divide(Diversify) and conquer —greater diversity means more room for division. Whether someone has all the best intentions in the world there will always be someone else who doesn't want it and will fight it and those people should be considered.
Sure a left wing idealist may think the war in the middle east is silly and that they have the answer to solving the problem, but yet it rages on for centuries becasue its not so simple. Even in Canada we have seen tension between French and English in places like Quebec or New Brunswick for example.
Im sure there are lots of great people form all over the world, but we think we are more ready for multiculturalism then we are. Truth is we cant even make it work with the differences we have already.

Seattle DJC: Goodwill to Build $10 Million Facility
01.07.2011 Mithun, Project Updates,
According to Vice President and CFO, Michael Jurich, Seattle Goodwill hopes to start construction on a new job training and education center and administrative office complex south of downtown Seattle in early 2012. The project at Rainier Avenue South and South Dearborn Street will be 45,000- to 50,000 square feet and two to three stories. The overall cost, exclusive of the land, is about $10 million. The complex will expand Seattle Goodwill's capacity for teaching and job training, and enable it to house its administrative staff on-site. Administrative functions are now temporarily above a Goodwill outlet store at another Seattle site. Mithun will design the complex and Bellevue-based Foushee and Associates will build it.

Stocks to Watch: MetLife, Williams and More!
Some hot stocks to watch this morning, including Williams and MetLife.
Williams Cos. swung to a first-quarter profit as the natural-gas transporter and exporter reported improved results in its Midstream Canada and Olefins segment, while its Williams Partners L.P. business posted 4.7% lower earnings due to interest payments on debt.
Clearwire Corp., which reported a sharply wider first-quarter loss but record subscriber growth, said it has no plans to sell wireless spectrum this year after raising enough cash to operate for at least the next 12 months.
MetLife Inc.'s first-quarter profit rose 20% before preferred stock effects as core earnings at the biggest U.S. life insurer rose more than expected.
Liberty Global Inc. first-quarter earnings plunged because of a gain in the prior-year period, but its operational results continued to strengthen overall.
Prudential Financial Inc.'s first-quarter profit rose 9.9% in its financial services business as its core profit rose more than expected on strong revenue growth.
Ace Ltd.'s first-quarter profit slid 66% as catastrophe losses jumped sharply, while the company reported net premiums slightly declined.
Willis Group PLC's first-quarter earnings fell 83%, though adjusted results rose slightly, as the insurance broker booked nearly $270 million of one-time charges.
Expeditors International of Washington Inc.'s first-quarter earnings rose 49%, beating analysts' estimates, as the company saw broad-based geographic strength and revenue climbed by more than one-fifth.
American Water Works Co.'s first-quarter earnings rose 54% to beat the consensus expectation even though revenue growth was weaker than anticipated.
Atmos Energy Corp.'s fiscal second-quarter earnings rose 16% as the natural-gas utility said higher rates helped offset lower consumption and warm weather.
Concho Resources Inc.'s first-quarter profit fell 37% as hedging impacts swung against the company, masking a surge in earnings amid higher production and oil prices.
Con-way Inc. swung to a first-quarter profit as the less-than-truckload shipper reported progress in its effort to raise prices and shed some of the low-margin business it had taken on during the economic downturn.

MH526: CHRISTIANITY IN CHINA, KOREA, AND JAPAN (4 Units). Scott W. Sunquist.
DESCRIPTION: During the 20th century Christianity, an Asian religion, became resident in East Asia as an Asian religion. The countries of Korea, Japan, and China have common cultural threads that have shaped Christian development in particular ways. This course studies some of those trajectories of Christian development in East Asia as distinct from the West (although in dialog with the West) and as distinct from South Asia.
LEARNING OUTCOMES: Upon successful completion of this course students will (1) have demonstrated the ability to articulate various influences of western missions on the development of Christianity in each of the three countries; (2) have given a brief autobiography (explaining the significance for Christian development) of two or more influential Christian leaders from each country; (3) have demonstrated the role of western colonial governments in the development of Christianity in East Asia; (4) have demonstrated the impact of Japanese imperialism, communism, and (economic) globalization upon the development of Christianity in each country; and (5) have explained the interplay between Christian development between the three countries.
COURSE FORMAT: This class will meet once a week (3hrs) for 10 weeks. Class sessions will involve discussion based upon the week's readings, with short lectures that will supplement the readings. The last two weeks of the course, students will be doing reports on their research. Students will be required to post questions and respond to online discussion, approximately one hour a week.
REQUIRED READING: Read a total of 1,200 pages (437 pages required plus additional reading the student will select from the General Reading list).

Migrating an Existing Extension to JDeveloper 11gR2 -- Part One
By John 'Jb' Brock-Oracle on Jun 13, 2011
With the new release of JDeveloper 11gR2, an extension that was written for a previous version of JDeveloper will no longer work. There are a few changes that must be made to get things working again. As with all development tasks, the work required can range from the very simple to extremely complex. In this post, I'll cover the basics. It should get everyone started in the right direction at least.
Your extension migration will follow these rough steps:
- Open your existing project in the 11.1.2 workspace
- Look at your existing extension and determine how it is integrated into the IDE. (e.g. Menu item, Wizard, etc.)
- If the integration point is coded in the Addin.initialize method, pull this out and replace it as a trigger-hook in the extension.xml file
- If the menu or wizard hooks are already in use in the extension.xml file, move them into the trigger-hooks section.
- Create an Action and controller class that will call the Addin.initialize() method when the action is called
- Changes to the extension.xml file in regards to Classpath and dependencies will also have to be addressed
- Make and Deploy to Target Platform to generate the manifest.mf file.
Open a copy of the workspace/project
NOTE: Make sure you are opening a copy of your extension source and not the original. This step can not be undone.
Make a copy of your existing extension source code and place it in a new directory that can be opened in the 11gR2 IDE. Once you open the project, the IDE will ask to do some migration tasks that will bring the project and application files up-to-date with this version of the IDE.
How does the extension get initialized?
If your extension is already using a menu-hook, wizard, or context-menu-hook, in the extension.xml file for integrating with the GUI, you are in pretty good shape and there are only a few things that need to be changed to get things going again.
If you are using the Addin.initialize() method to register all of your menus, etc. then there is a little more work to be done. It is the plan going forward, to completely remove the Addin.initialize() method and move everything to declarative hooks in the extension.xml or manifest.mf files.
I'll cover both situations in this blog topic, with Part One covering the non-Addin.initialize case, and Part Two extending to cover the rest.
Let's start with the SDK Sample project, "FirstSample".
When we look at this project we can see that none of the classes are extending the Addin class. We can also see that the menu setup is already being done declaratively in the extension.xml file. This should make for a fairly simple migration.
I've made a copy of the FirstSample directory and placed it inside of another Application that I created in the 11gR2 version of the IDE.
When I open the project now, it brings up a migration wizard that looks like this.
I'll go ahead and just accept the defaults on the next couple of pages, then click on Finish. The resulting dialog will look something like this.
This process gets a few of the housekeeping things taken care of for the project itself. It doesn't do anything to the source code of our project though. That will remain the same.
Since we have already determined that we are not using any classes that extend the Addin class, we will only need to work with the extension.xml file. I'll work through the file from top to bottom and show you what needs to get updated and how to go about doing it.
The <Classpaths> element has been deprecated in this release. If it's in the extension.xml, it will just be ignored. It has been replaced by a new element called <Required-Bundles>. The easiest way to make sure you are getting the proper bundle name when making these changes, is to use the Visual Editor for the extension.xml file.
Click on the Overview tab at the bottom of the editor window.
Then click on the Dependencies menu. It will look like this.
You can still see the entries that you currently have in your Classpaths element. We'll use these to get what we want in the Required-Bundles section.
Click on the + sign to the right of the Required Bundles section. A dialog will popup with a list of all the available bundles. In the search field at the top of this dialog, type in the name of the first library that you currently have in classpaths. "javatools" in this case. This will narrow the list down to something that you can more easily select from. Go ahead and select the oracle.javatools bundle from the list. HINT: Look at the slightly grayed out name under the jar files path. This is the bundle name. It will look like this when you're done.
Repeat the steps above for the "oicons" bundle as well.
Once you have both of these added as Required Bundles, you can highlight the name of each Classpath entry, and then click the big red X on the right side of that section to remove this entry from the extension.xml file.
Clicking on the Source tab at the bottom of the editor, will get us back to the source code and the new entries should looks something like this
Go ahead and delete the remaining <classpath/> element from the file. It will stop you from getting a warning at runtime.
Next we are going to add the new trigger-hooks section to the extension.xml file. This is what allows us to use lazy loading with our extensions. An extension is not loaded until a trigger is hit that tells the IDE that you want to use this functionality, so load it up.
Once you've done this a few times, you can simply cut and paste code from other extensions that you have already migrated, but I want to show a little tool that can help when you're not quite sure where to start.
If you right-click on the <extension> element in the Structure window (lower right side of the IDE by default) you will see an option to "Insert Inside extension". Select that option and go all the way to the bottom of the submenu and select "trigger-hooks".
Now right-click again, but on the trigger-hooks element this time, and insert a "trigger-hook" inside the trigger-hooks element.
You will notice that it places a nice clean <trigger-hook /> element in between the open and close <trigger-hooks> tags. We need to change this to be an open and close tag instead of just the one tag. If you delete the "/" from the trigger-hooks tag and then hit enter and type "</ " you will notice that the IDE will enter the close tag for you. The end result should look like this
You can see that this would have been a lot easier to just cut and paste in, but I wanted to show you that we do have a tool for working with the schema. We'll use this same tool a little later to add a Controller element which has a few more required parameters.
Now that we have the trigger-hooks structure in place, we can start moving some of our old elements up into this new area. Since the Actions element is what most everything else references, let's move it in first. Simply cut and paste the existing actions element from the <hooks> section up to the new <trigger-hooks> section.
We need to add an xml namespace to the <actions> element now. The easiest way to do this is to click inside the <actions> tag just after the word "actions". Enter a space and then type " xmlns=" ". After you type the first " after the equal sign, a code completion pulldown should show up and give you a list of available namespaces to select from. In this case, scroll down until you find, " http://xmlns.oracle.com/jdeveloper/1013/extension ". Add the close " and you're done.
Controllers are now their own element in the extension.xml file, so we will delete the existing <controller-class> element from the actions element. The resulting actions element should now look like this
Controllers are a new element in the extension.xml file. We're going to go back to the schema helper tool to add in our new controllers element.
Right-click on the <triggers> element in the Structure window and select "Insert Inside triggers". Click Browse and scroll down the list until you find "Controllers". Click OK and then right-click on the new controllers element and follow the same steps to insert a controller element inside of the controllers. This is going to open a dialog asking you to enter the class for the controller. If you start typing the package name for your controller, code completion will kick in and help you find the existing controller class. It will look like this
For this example, work your way down to the SimpleController class and click OK.
Let's keep adding the required elements to our new <controller> element. Right-click on the controller element again, and insert an <update-rules> element, and then insert an <update-rule> element inside of that. You will be asked for the "rule *: " when you insert the <update-rule>. For now, just type in "always-enabled" for the rule. I'll talk more about the new Rules system in another post, very soon. The last thing to add is the <action> element. Follow the same steps to insert the <action> element inside of the <update-rule> element.
You will be asked for the action id and label when you insert the action element. You can copy the action id from the action element that we just added above. For this example it will be: "oracle.ide.extsamples.first.invokeAction"
You can set the label for your controller here as well, but it's not required. Since we already have a label in our Action, I'm just going to leave this blank. The final Controllers element should look like this
Context Menus
Context menus are next in the existing extension.xml file, so lets take those on next. The context menu element is a little different in the new release. Here is what the original looks like
We're going to use the xml schema tool again to get the new structure setup.
Right-click on the triggers element and "insert inside triggers". Click Browse, then select the Context-menus-hook. Enter "always-enabled" for the rule type when prompted.
Now right-click on the new context-menus-hook element, and insert a "site" element inside of this one. You will be prompted for the "idref" for the context menus that you want to add. In the original we had to created three different elements to cover all three of the main context menus. Here we can enter all three as a comma separated list.
Enter, "navigator, editor, explorer" and click OK.
Right-click one more time on the context-menu-hook, and insert an extension-listener element this time, inside the context-menu-hook element. Set the class name to be the same as what you had in the original elements. In this example, it would be, "oracle.ide.extsamples.firstsample.SimpleContextMenuListener"
The <extension-listener> element is optional. In this case, it works great because it just replaces the listener element that was already being used. If you context-menu-hook uses the menu element instead of a listener-class element, do the steps below instead of adding the extension-listener element.
Now right-click on the menu element and insert inside of it, a section element. You can set the ID for this section to be anything you like. Once you have the section element created, insert an "item" element inside of it. Set the "action-ref" value to the action id that we set above. For this example it is: "oracle.ide.extsamples.first.invokeAction"
The new context-menu-hook element should now look like this id you used the <menu> element
and like this if you used the <extension-listener> element
Notice that I still had to add an empty <menu/> element, since it is a required element.
The gallery element hasn't changed that much. Copy and paste the original from the <hooks> element into the new <triggers> element.
We only need to make a couple of changes to this element. We need to add an xml namespace to the gallery tag. Follow the same steps as above, where you clicked inside the tag, just after the name, enter a space, then type, "xmlns=" " when the code completion list comes up this time, select the same namespace as before,
Now we need to add a rule parameter to the <item> tag. Type inside the tag, and add, " rule="always-enabled". The new item tag will look like: <item rule="always-enabled">
We also want to add an <icon> element to the gallery element now. This is pretty simple. Just add the line:
Everything else should stay the same. The new gallery element will look like
Menus and Toolbars
The <menu-hooks> element is even easier then the Gallery hook. Copy and paste the entire <menu-hooks> (including menu and toolbar hooks) element into the <triggers> element.
All we have to do is add an xml namespace to the <menu-hooks> tag. Set this to " xmlns="http://jcp.org/jsr/198/extension-manifest" "
Once you have all of these elements moved from the Hooks element to the Triggers element, the only thing left in the Hooks section should be the <features-hook>. This can be left where it is. The <hooks> element does still get called by the extension framework. It is called as the extension is loaded. The best way to decided if something belongs in the <triggers-hooks> element or the <hooks> element is to think about when that information needs to be available to the IDE. If it's something that has to show up before the extension is actually loaded, then it should be in the <trigger-hooks> element. Otherwise, it's fine to leave it where it is.
That should do it for migrating this extension. To test everything and make sure it really does work, you need to follow these three steps.
1) Build the extension
This is an obvious step and of course it should compile without any errors.
2) Deploy to Target Platform
This is a new step that must be run every time before you can perform the "Run Extension" menu option. It builds the manifest.mf file and packages everything properly. Rick-click on your project and select this from the menu down in the Extensions section.
3) Click on Run Extension
This performs the same as it always has. It will open another instance of the IDE with your extension installed and, hopefully, running correctly.
In Part Two I finish the migration steps by showing how to handle migrating an extension that extends the Addin class. You will still need to do all of the work that we have just shown above, but there is a little more work to do as well.
Comment are always welcome, and encouraged. Everyone learns more when a good conversation is started!
