Usually during the first few weeks of summer vacation, when the novelty of no school and ample free time wears off, parents across the valley hear the all-too-familiar "Mom, Dad... I'm bored!!!" whine from their children.
Kids complaining of nothing to do? Well, one just needs to get the kids out of their houses, away from the TV, computers and video games... and enjoy what our Valley has to offer. And they can earn new Brag Tags in the process.
There seems to be something for everyone coming up in the next few weeks.
This weekend Wasatch County plays host to cowboys and Native Americans. The annual Heber Valley Pow Wow and Rendezvous will be up at Soldier Hollow this weekend.
At the Wasatch County Events Center is the Utah High School Rodeo Finals. Come see these great cowboys and cowgirls compete.
Next week, who can resist the annual Chevy Classic Car Show at Heber City's Park? From Corvettes to Cameros. From Mustangs to Malibus, this car show will have them all. Plus "Doc" the Hudson from the movie Cars!
Also next weekend, make sure to cheer on the runners for the 10th annual Wasatch Back Ragnar Relay.
Beginning this Thursday night are the weekly Concerts in the Park and Farmer's Market at Heber City's Park. The Plein Aire art show at Midway Town Hall the first week of July.
Also in July is the High Valley Arts production of Music Man in Midway. Watch the Wave for more information on dates.
And the Wasatch County Fair, rodeo and demolition derby are right around the corner.
Yes, there is much to do and see in Heber Valley - and the summer is just beginning.
So don't complain that there is nothing to do in this little hamlet. Most, if not all of these activities have Brag Tags available just for attending.
Pick and choose your favorite activities to attend and have a great summer.

A small selection of candidates left their mark on us this week. We plucked out 4 of them thanks to certain qualities such as charisma, originality and inventiveness. Here is the selection made in Montaigne Street.
We all fell under the charms of this young girl's smile.
The surf style look with tee shirt and bikini bottoms is really offbeat given the background and the glamorous stilettos which lend an even more off-the-wall aspect to her pose.
The colors are well coordinated, fun and beauty abound…..Nice work Madame!
This young angel is everything that we can say about « special ».
The use of color is well worked as well as the choice of pieces, as in the black and white leggings or the half suspender (black&white, and black-white-red). The tie is innovative and the mildly futuristic hair renders the character even more atypical.
Two dominant colors, a particular style, all mixed together with real charisma.
Stay fly angelito, stay FLY !!
Gibran's profile made an impression on us as one sees immediately from his first photo that he is full of creativity, he is not afraid to dare and to show his difference. This kind of black dress that he is wearing with the super high shoulder pads and the striking glasses that embrace his face, one would say a younger Karl Lagerfeld.
His passion spreads over several domains like fashion, art, architecture, music, design, and his photography and videos are testimony to that, particularly the shot where he has a sort of Japanese Kan-ji painted on his forehead, one could take it for a photograph of a renowned photographer. He combines all of these universes in one sole character and he merits a bit more of our attention and our complicity in permitting him to express all that he can do.
She has a name that one would say comes straight out of Celtic mythology. And like her name, she has an uncommon beauty, we particularly love the contrast between her bright red hair as she describes it herself and her very clear porcelain complexion, one would say a princess from the Middle Ages. She glows in the light as one can see in her photos, and even in shadowed places she captures all of the light around her and reflects it back.
Pure Natural Beauty.

Political Science
Thanks, Alumni!
Mar 27/13
During this past year, a number of our Political Science alumni returned to campus to give talks to current Laurier students.
In conjunction with the Career Centre, we held a number of "Career Night" sessions that allowed students to gain insight into how some of our graduates had taken the skills that they had acquired at Laurier out into the job market:
Sean Simpson '11 (Associate Vice President, IPSOS-Reid) and Michael Howell (Senior Research Manager, IPSOS-Reid) spoke about the field of public opinion research and marketing;
Sue Brown '73 (President, Peacebuilding Centre; Past Chief, Peacebuilding Unit at the Canadian International Development Agency), Lenore Dougan '10 (Policy Advisor at Ontario Energy Board) and Anthony Piscitelli '12 (Supervisor of Planning & Research, Waterloo Region Crime Prevention Council; Trustee, Waterloo Catholic District School Board) discussed career options in the public sector, at federal, provincial and municipal levels; and
A. Kelsey Orth '00 (Associate, Crawford Chondon & Partners) and Phaedra Klodner '92 (Phaedra Klodner Law Office) reflected on their careers in Labour Law and Family Law, respectively, and more generally on the law school experience.We were also very pleased to have Christian Pearce '02 deliver a talk in November, "Trigger Politics: Guns and Crime in Canada." Since publishing his book, Enter the Babylon System: Unpacking Gun Culture from Samuel Colt to 50 Cent, in 2007 (with his colleague, Rodrigo Bascunan), Christian has become known as an expert on gun culture in Canada.
We would like to thank all of our former students for coming back and sharing their experiences with current students. We look forward to seeing you again and welcoming even more of you!

The cycle of addiction is dizzying to the addict and it creates what I calling "doing" some forward movement in growth. And undoing. The old (by now probably moldy) undoing). The trapdoor for the addict is you know the drug offers relief. And since you live only in the hear and now (emotional and physical pain can cause that feeling) you want the instant relief that it seems only the drug gives you. My job is to gently and sometimes not so gently dispel you of this massive myth. What you really need is to learn to slow down by substitution of behaviors. It will be clearer when we meet.

OverviewTetraMAX® ATPG automatically generates high quality manufacturing test patterns. It's the only ATPG solution optimized for a wide range of test methodologies and integrated with Synopsys' patented DFTMAX™ and DFTMAX Ultra, the leading test synthesis tools. The unparalleled ease-of- use and high performance provided by TetraMAX ATPG allows RTL designers to quickly create efficient, compressed test patterns for even the most complex designs.
Download Datasheet
Testing Complex ASICsWith TetraMAX ATPG, designers can generate high-quality manufacturing test patterns without compromising on high performance design techniques (Figure 1). While such techniques may impede other ATPG tools, TetraMAX ATPG is able to obtain coverage on the resulting complex logic.
TetraMAX ATPG supports internal three-state busses including implementations with pull-ups, pull-downs and charge storage. Similar to three-state busses, bidirectional I/O pads are also supported. To ensure ATE (automatic test equipment) requirements are met, TetraMAX ATPG provides a number of options to generate contention-free patterns for three-state logic.
Figure 1: Integrated test flow using TetraMAX ATPG
Memory Shadow TestingLogic with fault effects which pass into a memory element, and logic that requires the outputs of the memory to set up a fault, are said to be "in the shadow" of the memory (Figure 2). Typically, the memory's shadow affects a significant portion of the chip and causes a reduction in fault coverage. TetraMAX ATPG supports behavioral models of the memories to resolve the shadow effects and increase overall fault coverage for the circuit.
Figure 2: TetraMAX ATPG delivers high test coverage on a wide range of design styles
TetraMAX ATPG's DRC supports full scan and partial-scan test methodologies using mux-scan, clocked-scan, level sensitive scan design (LSSD) and proprietary schemes. For maximum flexibility, TetraMAX ATPG accepts user-defined constraints and initialization patterns required for proper scan chain shifting. Complete support is provided for designs with IEEE 1149.1/6 internal scan shifting protocols and related techniques that minimize the number of external I/O pins required for ATPG.
Figure 3: TetraMAX provides high-performance ATPG and advanced debug capabilities through its integrated graphical interface
High Defect-Coverage TestingMany manufacturing defects will not be caught without additional high defect-coverage testing that specifically targets subtle nanometer defects.
With the TetraMAX DSMTest option, designers and test engineers can easily generate transition delay, path delay (Figure 4), bridging or dynamic bridging test patterns to further reduce defective parts per million (DPPM).
Figure 4: TetraMAX DSMTest automates testing of critical paths
TetraMAX DSMTest for Slack-based Transition TestingTetraMAX DSMTest also enables ATPG to target subtle small delay defects inside ICs that could lead to failures when devices operate at full speed. Detecting these defects reduces DPPM compared to levels achieved by only using standard transition delay patterns and lowers the cost of production testing.
Figure 5: TetraMAX small delay defect testing flow
Power-Aware ATPGScan testing typically increases transistor switching activity by many times their peak functional-mode levels, leading to excessive power consumption. Too much power consumption during test can lead to unpredictable test results, including the failure of good devices on the tester, and unnecessary yield loss.
TetraMAX ATPG for power-aware test limits power consumption during test by automatically reducing switching activity to levels consistent with normal operation, based on designer-specified power budgets. This is achieved without compromising test coverage or the cost-savings advantage of DFTMAX and DFTMAX Ultra.
Multicore ProcessingFor many design teams, turn-around time for pattern generation is critical. TetraMAX ATPG takes advantage of the shared-memory architecture of widely available multicore computing machines to significantly cut the time needed to generate high-quality manufacturing tests. Optimizations in TetraMAX ATPG ensure that runtime performance scales well with the number of processor cores used, reducing runtimes when run on 2 to 32 cores while achieving the same high test coverage and low pattern count from operation on a uniprocessor machine. Multicore processing in TetraMAX ATPG is easily enabled with a single command line switch.
IDDQ TestingIDDQ testing is a method for enhancing the quality of IC tests by measuring the power supply current of a CMOS circuit. Defect free CMOS circuits draw very low levels of current during a quiescent state. IDDQ levels are typically an order of magnitude higher in the presence of a silicon defect. IDDQ testing targets physical defects that create a conduction path from the power supply to ground and result in excessive current draw.
TetraMAX ATPG generates a minimal set of high fault coverage patterns for IDDQ testing purposes, and constrains the test patterns to avoid excessive current during the quiescent state. The TetraMAX IDDQ Test option then accurately validates these patterns for low quiescence using Synopsys VCS® or other Verilog simulator, thereby ensuring the IDDQ patterns will work on the ATE.
Silicon DiagnosticsIn addition to identifying defective parts from manufacturing, TetraMAX ATPG can also isolate the location of defects on devices that fail TetraMAX ATPG test patterns. Automatic and accurate defect isolation is an important step to diagnose critical yield issues, both during production ramp as well as in volume manufacturing. TetraMAX ATPG diagnostics read the test patterns and tester failure data, which are the differences between measured and expected responses to those test patterns. They also report the fault candidate locations that most likely explain the faulty device behavior observed on the tester. TetraMAX ATPG diagnostics use advanced heuristics and a high-performance fault simulator for rapid and reliable results in a volume manufacturing environment.
Figure 6: Integrated flow between TetraMAX ATPG and Yield Explorer
Failure and Yield AnalysisTetraMAX ATPG is tightly integrated with Yield Explorer for further analysis of diagnostics results. To perform volume diagnostics, hundreds or thousands of failing parts are diagnosed with TetraMAX ATPG and Yield Explorer correlates those with specific failure mechanisms to determine the key design or systematic issues that are contributing to yield loss. Yield Explorer directly reads the accumulated diagnostics results from TetraMAX ATPG and loads them into a complete database of previous diagnostics results, other test data, multiple domains of design data, and if available, process data from the fab.
TetraMAX ATPG and Yield Explorer share standard interfaces for both fail data from the tester as well as physical design data. Physical data is important for both diagnostics and yield analysis. Diagnostics accuracy is significantly higher for defects caused by metal shorts and opens when the layout topology is incorporated into the diagnostics heuristics used by TetraMAX ATPG. For yield analysis physical data allows volume diagnostics results to be correlated with design-specific layout characteristics and determine which ones are the most sensitive to process variability.

Stop. Look. Listen.
August 14, 2013 —
As the summer wanes and kids begin to tremble at the thought of back to school, the Upper Delaware Valley thrums with activity in an attempt to squeeze every last drop of entertainment, amusement and culture out of August. Traversing the countryside with the wonder dog in tow, we often hear the comment, "Why does everything seem to happen all in one weekend?" That, of course, isn't the case, yet we still are forced to make choices as to where and when our leisure time is best spent.
I am often flummoxed myself over how to divide my time, and have been known to scribble the choices on scraps of paper and (throwing caution to the wind) fling them in the air like autumn leaves to see which ones flutter to the ground face up, letting the universe decide for me. With the week's schedule chock-full of music, art and theatre, I broke out the old magic eight ball to assist in making decisions. "The future is cloudy," it read. "Ask again later." Confused about what to do, I decided to stop and examine the choices. I could go look at the new art show (www.artsalliancesite.org) in Narrowsburg, I mused, or check out the concert schedule (www.bethelwoodscenter.org) before making a decision.
Reading that The James Hunter Six (www.jameshuntermusic.com) was slated to open for blues legend Buddy Guy (www.buddyguy.net), who in turn was slated to appear with George (Bad to the Bone) Thorogood at Bethel Woods on Thursday, my decision was made. Critically acclaimed throughout the world, Guy has been performing and perfecting his Chicago blues sound that has influenced generations of musicians. At 77, Buddy brought the audience to its feet repeatedly, strutting, wailing and sharing colorful anecdotes about his career, peppered with salty language best fit for an adult crowd. At one point, Guy marched into the middle of the house, never missing a beat, singing, "While you were slipping out (someone else was slipping in)," and the place exploded. Thrilled to have had the opportunity to listen in, I slipped out before Thorogood hit the stage (at 10:30 on a Thursday night) because my dogs were barking and Dharma was tired, too.

Liner changes have made this year's Demon 130 a kinder, gentler, more huggable devil. It still puts a ski on edge and holds it there securely, but the liner wraps more precisely with a softer, more cushioned feel. Testers said its improved shin fit invited aggressive moves to the front of the ski even in gnarly crud. Fore- aft support is definitely all there, and good skiers with medium and wide feet will find a big payoff.

Lack of Offense Isn't Hurting the Red Sox…
Yesterday, I received an email from the Red Sox Insider blog that I'm subscribed to, and it had some interesting statistics:
so that the Red Sox can see if he is just going through a funk, or if his career is actually coming to an end. He obviously wants what is best for the team, which is why he mused that the team might be better off without him.
16 Comments
Watch your back Heidi, you could have serious competition soon…as always, great insight and obnoxiously good pictures of you with Red Sox players. Keep up the good work!
Watch your back Heidi, you could have serious competition soon…as always, great insight and obnoxiously good pictures of you with Red Sox players. Keep up the good work!
dammit, internet!
Happy Pre-Birthday and how exciting that you'll be at the Rays-Red Sox series at the Trop! Knowing you, you'll still manage to ace your tests. Tough situation with Lowell, but he's a straight shooter and a team guy, so I'm sure it will resolve amicably for all concerned.
The Mike Lowell situation is like the Juan Pierre situation on the Dodgers except that Juan had a huge salary. We did get John Ely in trade though!! 🙂
Yeah, so far that pitching and defense strategy ain't workin'. Too… many… sloppy… plays. On Defense. Unacceptable at the Big League level. With the Rays and Yanks playin' so well, the Sox better right the ship quickly. The good news is: if any team can do that it's the Red Sox.
So the BoSOx have won 3 in a row, can they keep it up this weekend as they come to the city of brotherly love….
Phillies Outside
Happy early birthday Elizabeth! and how cool is that that you got tickets to your beloved Red Sox! Seating is excellent! Maybe since you are getting there super early, you can take your French book with you.
Happy Birthday. Sounds like you'll have a great one. I look forward to reading up on you Minor League adventures this summer. What a great opportunity for you.
'Minoring In Baseball'
I personally would like to see Mike playing more, be it at 3B or DH, but that is not happening anytime soon. So, I would think he would be happiest playing elsewhere. If we could swing a trade, that would be great. Otherwise, he'll fill in nicely if someone gets injured (which, as Mike noted well, we don't wish for). If we do try a trade, I would hope we'd do better than the trade we attempted with Texas. Even if we are just looking for a backup player or two in return, a 3rd or 4th string catcher is NOT what we needed. GO SOX!
Ortiz scared the crap out of me in the 9th last night. SO close to a Grand Slam….yikes! Can he just take a short vacation the next two games? LOL
Holy Cow! An incredible post. You caught me by surprise with the Red Sox offensive info too. Dice-K's performance today was very nice to see. Like you say, if that pitching shapes up and the defense tightens up, the BoSox can still go on a tear and be right in the mix.
Good luck with finals!
That was quite the comprehensive post. There are lots of things going on with the Sox right now (though they look pretty good tonight, darn it). Their starting pitching is up and down, their defense is atrocious, and their offense is lights out from time to time. Technically, it is still very early. I am hoping that the Rays can get together a good series agianst your guys so we can put you away. If you sweep us you'll be just 5 1/2 out and right back into the race!
Well, the Red Sox pitching did a pretty good job of shutting down the Phillies two out of three games. Guess you'll be at the game tonight – happy birthday! Good luck on those exams, too!
Rants, Raves, and Random Thoughts
Well.. you tried to cover the "bases" and stopped short of scoring with this diatribe… ok… to critique the "Dead" Sox's lack luster performance vis a vis huddling in third place… I recall the immortal words of the legend in Kathy Gifford's mind.. Frank Gifford.. when forced in silence in the Football booth with Howard Co-smell… he could not get in edge wise as Howie went on and on trying to codify what was wrong with the unsuccessful team they were commenting on… frank, not known for articulate or cogent remarks… sum up in a simple declarative sentence what Howard had struggled with for 5-7 minutes of his obfuscating verbiage an failed to put into perspective.. same applies here, summing up the Red Sox and their lack luster performances… "They need some good players" .. that was Frank's gem.. and applies here.
Age is showing up in injuries.. and BoSox need to rethink recruiting younger players.. and don't spend again like they did for Dice K.. think! If they had allowed Dice K to go to yankees, we could be laughing at their foolish spending.. instead, it's the other way around. Dice has had his moment in the big leagues.. time for him to go home and eat sushi.

Pfeiffer to Meet Limestone for Conference Carolinas Women's Lacrosse Championship
from press release
CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Sarah Hebberd scored two back-to-back goals leading the Pfeiffer University Falcons past Belmont Abbey College in the semifinal round of the 2011 Conference Carolinas Women's Lacrosse Tournament. The Falcons won 10-9 advancing to face Limestone College tomorrow at 1 pm at the Queens Sports Complex.
Belmont Abbey was on the attack early scoring two quick goals to start the game. Natalie Marvin broke the scoring drought for the Falcons with a goal at the 18:06 mark. Another goal by the Crusaders would put the three seed up 3-1 at just over the 15 minute mark.
The second half of period one was all Pfeiffer as the Falcons scored six goals to Belmont Abbey's two taking a 7-5 lead heading in to the break. Hebberd notched three goals during the Falcons' spurt.
The Crusaders got on the board first in the second half finding two early goals once again tying the game up at seven with 26:28 on the clock. Shannon Bonnel answered for the Falcons giving them the lead back for about 10 minutes.
Dowd responded for the Crusaders striking again tying the game back up at eight. Her goal was soon followed by one from Elyse Mohn giving Belmont Abbey the lead for the first time since the 7:27 mark in the first.
The Crusaders lead didn't hold up as Hebberd notched her game-tying and game-winning goals sealing the victory for the Falcons.
Hebberd led all players with five goals on the day. Marvin finished with two for the Falcons. Amanda Smith collected seven draw controls and four caused turnovers.
The Saints outshot the Royals 30-to-26, while Queens won the possession battle winning 13 draw controls to Limestone's seven. Queens also scooped up 27 ground balls to the Saints' 18.
Mohn led the Crusaders with four goals while Dowd contributed a hat trick. Tory Morgan took the loss in goal while getting 16 stops.

With the release of version 18.104.22.168 of its 9i Application Server, Oracle introduced a fast, scalable, developer-friendly J2EE container. OC4J, as it is popularly known, was licensed from Ironflare, makers of the Orion server, and was enhanced by Oracle and integrated with other components in the application server stack.
A future article will discuss the just-released developers' preview version of OC4J 2.0. 9iAS release 2 includes complete support for Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) 2.0, Servlets 2.3, JavaServer Pages (JSP) 1.2, JTA 1.0, JNDI 1.2, JMS 1.0, JDBC 2.0, JavaMail 1.2, JAF 1.0, JAXP 1.1, Connector 1.0, and JAAS 1.0. OC4J also supports standard services such as JSP Tag libraries, and provides advanced clustering facilities to support both stateless and stateful application failover of servlets and EJBs. This article only discusses the features provided in the 126.96.36.199.x version of 9iAS Oc4J.
OC4J 126.96.36.199 is a J2EE-1.2-certified application server. OC4J provides the performance, scalability, and features (like HTTP clustering and load balancing) necessary for deployment as an enterprise application server. In addition, it boasts several features to make developers' lives easier during the development phase. In this article, I will cover the ease-of-use and developer features that make OC4J an attractive option for developing and deploying J2EE applications.
OC4J can either be installed from 9iAS software distribution or downloaded from the Oracle Technology management Web site. OC4J is developed purely in Java and hence the same distribution works for most of its platforms (Windows, Linux, Solaris, HP).
The installation of the J2EE container is very simple and takes only few minutes. You need JDK 1.2.2 or higher installed on your machine and java binaries included in your path. If the
unzip utility is not available in your environment, you can use the
jar utility to install the server from the
oc4j.zip file.
Following are the steps involved in installing OC4J:
$ cd ias
$ unzip oc4j.zip (or jar xvf oc4j.zip)
$ cd j2ee/home
$ java -jar orion.jar -install
Enter an admin password to use: debu
Confirm admin password: debu Installation done
The application server configuration files consists of seven XML files residing in the
$IAS_HOME/j2ee/home/config directory; the names of the XML files are self-explanatory.
The following list provides a brief description about the configuration files.
data jms.xml
By default, OC4J has a Web server configured to listen for HTTP requests at port 8888; you can change the port by editing
The OC4J server can be started with a single command and the process runs in a single JVM. After the OC4J server is started, you can invoke your Web site as
http://<servername>:8888. The command to start and shutdown OC4J is:
$ java -jar orion.jar Oracle9iAS (18.104.22.168.1)
Containers for J2EE initialized
$ java -jar admin.jar ormi://localhost admin debu -shutdown

OC4J provides J2EE-standard EAR and WAR file deployment. The greatest benefit of OC4J is that you can deploy J2EE-compliant EAR as is, with no changes or repackaging required. Just point to the location of the EAR file, and OC4J will automatically deploy the application to the application server. The deployment process is quite developer-friendly, as it automatically deploys the EJB-JARs and WARs included in the EAR file. The EJB deployment process automatically generates the stubs; for CMP beans, it generates the finder methods.
OC4J is certified with Oracle8i and 9i databases out of the box and comes with Oracle's Type 4 JDBC driver. OC4J is also certified with Merant JDBC Drivers for connecting to non-Oracle databases (SQLServer, DB2, etc). DataSources can be configured using
data-sources.xml. Following is a typical example of a DataSource:
<!-- An example/default DataSource that uses
Oracle JDBC-driver to create the connections.
This tag creates all the needed kinds of data-sources,
transactional, pooled and EJB-aware sources. The source
generally used in application code is the "EJB" one -
it provides transactional safety and connection
pooling. Oracle thin driver could be used as well,
like below. url="jdbc:oracle:thin:@host:port:sid" -->
<data-source class="com.evermind.sql.DriverManagerDataSource"
name="OracleDS" location="jdbc/OracleCoreDS"
xa-location="jdbc/xa/OracleXADS" ejb-location="jdbc/OracleDS"
username="scott" password="tiger"
inactivity-timeout="30" />
You can deploy a J2EE application, i.e., an EAR file, either by making an entry in the
server.xml file for the application or by using command-line options. For example, we have our application packaged as
timecard.ear and it has an EJB called
work-ejb.jar and WAR called
work.war. We deploy the the application as follows:
C:\oracle\iSuites\j2ee\home> java -jar admin.jar ormi://localhost
admin debu -deploy -deploymentName TimeCardApp
-file c:\time\ear\timecard.ear
C:\oracle\iSuites\j2ee\home\applications\timecard.ear... done.
C:\oracle\iSuites\j2ee\home\applications\timecard\work.war... done.
Auto-deploying TimeCardApp (New server version detected)...
Auto-deploying work-ejb.jar (No previous deployment found)...
Auto-creating table: create table work_ejb_WorkHours (email
VARCHAR2(255) not null, monthEnding DATE not null, workHours
double precision null, trainingHours double precision null,
vacationHours double precision null, otherHours double precision
null, primary key (email, monthEnding))
The EJB deployment process will automatically generate the stubs and automatically create the table for the CMP entity bean if the table does not exist in the database.
As the timecard application has a WAR module called
work.war the context URI for the Web module can be set by either modifying
default-web-site.xml or as in the following command:
C:\oracle\iSuites\j2ee\home>java -jar admin.jar
ormi://localhost admin debu -bindWebApp TimeCardApp
work default-web-site /time
Now we would be able to access the Web module by accessing
OC4J does not explicitly require an EAR or WAR file, and it supports an open extended directory structure similar to the directory structure in an EAR or WAR file. You can specify the parent directory of the open extended directory to be the location of your application. This is very helpful during the development phase of a project, and you don't always have to build the EAR/WAR file for every code change. Whenever there is a change in a servlet class or JSP, you can just change the time stamp of
web.xml (by the Unix
touch command or some other method) for the Web application, and the Oc4J server will flagged about the code change. It will re-deploy the application, so you don't have to bounce your server for every code change.
OC4J automatically generates finder methods for CMP beans. For simple finder methods, you don't have to do anything; these are automatically generated during deployment. For example, say you have a finder method called
findByemail where email is one of the cmp-fields in your entity bean. If you have a complex finder method, however, you need a finder method to be documented in the vendor-specific deployment descriptor, i.e.,
orion-ejb-jar.xml as follows. This is for a finder method called
findExpensiveEmployees, which finds all employees making a salary above a certain amount.
<finder-method query="$salary > ; $1">
The easiest thing to do is to deploy the EJB once, get
orion-ejb-jar.xml generated in the application
-deployments directory, make modifications in this file per your requirements, and then package this in your
The most promising feature for developers is that OC4J can automatically detect code changes and automatically compile them for you. In order to achieve this functionality, you have to specify the "development=true" attribute in the
global-web-application.xml file for all deployed applications, or
orion-web-application.xml for a particular application. Also, you can set
source-directory to tell the OC4J server where to look for sources for servlet classes for auto-compiling. By default, Oc4J server will use the
WEB-INF/src directory if it exists; otherwise, it will use the
WEB-INF/classes directory.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE orion-web-app PUBLIC
"-//Evermind//DTD Orion Web Application 2.3//EN"
When this configuration is set, you can also look at the intermediate Java code for a JSP. The generated servlet code will be saved in the persistence directory for your application. The persistence directory can be found in the
$ORACLE_J2EE_HOME/application-deployments/application directory, where
application is the name of the application you are using.
Logging and debugging are very crucial for an application during its life cycle. Oc4J provides several facilities for logging of activities in the server and features to help debug problems encountered in an application.
Oc4J provides the following types of logging:
Generally, developers put a lot of
System.out.println statements in their code to perform application debugging. Normally, all standard outputs and error outputs are routed to the console where the OC4J server is started. If you want to capture the standard output and error outputs to files for logging/debugging purposes, then you can use the
-out and
-err options while starting up the Oc4J server to specify which files to use.
Some issues are difficult to track down; sometimes you might need to debug at different sub-system levels in the application server. OC4J provides a number of system properties and you can use these in the comand line while starting to enable this system-level debugging. For example, if you want to enable HTTP session-level debugging, start the OC4J server as follows:
java -Dhttp.session.debug=true -jar orion.jar

Three sisters say they were kicked out of a Pennsylvania mall because they refused to remove profanity-laden hats expressing their hatred of cancer.
Their mother died last week of breast cancer, and they were at the King of Prussia mall shopping for funeral dresses when security approached them, the Philadelphia Daily News reported.
Zakia Clark, 29; Tasha Clark, 27; and Makia Underwood, 32; were wearing hats with a one-word profanity before the word cancer. A pink breast-cancer awareness ribbon replaced the third letter of the profanity, The Associated Press reported.
"That's how we feel. It took our mom away. It's a demon. It's the devil," Zakia Clark told the Daily News. "There are no other words you can use to explain how you feel. You want cancer to get cancer and die."
Security asked the women to take the hats off. They were ejected from the mall when they refused.
Mall management initially defended its code of conduct, which does not tolerate profanity, but later apologized to the sisters when they learned of their mother's death, the Daily News reported.
"Certainly this could have been handled in a much more empathic and sensitive manner," Les Morris, a spokesman for Simon Property Group in Indianapolis, told the People Paper. "We're very sorry about her loss and wanted to apologize for the way her party was treated."

Simply exceptional
The event was revived last year after a 30-year hiatus. Divided into competing American and National squads comprised of players from schools large and small alike, the game affords these fine seniors one last chance in their high school careers to play the game they so dearly love. As an added perk, they foster great learning and forge lasting friendships as players who may have once been adversaries during the season or may have been from schools that never saw each other, join forces in the exhibition game.This year the American squad avenged last year's 24-11 loss with a 27-0 win over their National counterparts. Sullivan West's Zachary O'Connor and Cody Franskevicz were part of the American whirlwind that featured a high-powered passing offense and a stalwart defense. O'Connor had three catches on the day including a 12-yard TD reception that broke a scoreless tie with 9:08 remaining in the second quarter. Franskevicz had an impressive catch in the midst of four defenders in the second half. For all of the players, the honor of being a part of the event, the chance to learn so much during the three days of practice and the bonds formed with other gridiron elites were far more important than the game's outcome. Playing for the National squad was Liberty's Kevin Brannigan, who played center on alternating series and did a fine job of blocking as well. Teammate Julius Graves recorded a sack in the first half. Eldred's Nik Dilles had a number of key receptions including a late one that put his team in scoring position as they tried to negate the shutout. The American team's defense thwarted that effort. Fellow Yellow Jacket Julian Gottlieb lent his running skills to the National effort. Monticello's Terry Duncan offered up his speed at wide receiver, while Jon Harned was in on a number of tackles from his linebacker position. While the exceptional seniors were having their final hurrah on the gridiron, another exceptional group, namely the Eldred girls soccer team was vying against defending Class D state champion Poland at the Final Four in Cortland, NY. Powerful Poland scored a trio of first half goals en route to a 4-0 win to end Eldred's storied season at 10-8-1. Eldred won its first Section IX title since 1986 with two late goals to marshal a 3-2 win against rival Livingston Manor. They went on to add another chapter to school history with a dramatic 2-1 Regional win over Oppenheim/Ephratah/St. Johnsville by dint of a goal by freshman Jordan Lepes on a feed from Lyndzee Kelty with just 17 seconds remaining.

The current zoning regulations for the Town of Delaware's properties within the designated Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River Corridor are simple, clear, and straightforward.
The proposed zoning amendments for some properties within the river corridor are not.
The land area in question, hundreds of acres, is comprised of portions of properties within the "overlay zone." These portions of properties have now been added to the RU (rural use) zoning district. One cannot look to the RU regulations for clarity, however, because projects on these properties will be subject to the Land and Water Use guidelines of the River Management Plan (RMP) as interpreted by the planning board and Upper Delaware Council (UDC) on a project-by-project basis.
There are no regulations for this new RU area within the amendment or the existing zoning. There is no statement of permitted uses, special permit uses, accessory uses, building heights or setbacks for these properties.
There is only a stated intent to regulate that land subject to the Land and Water Use Guidelines, presumably as individual projects are proposed. Know this: guidelines are not regulations.
A growing number of town residents are questioning why a straightforward zoning amendment that was to address only an administrative issue, where there was no stated desire to change the river corridor zoning, has actually created the potential to change what can be built in the river corridor.
The Town of Delaware Town Board and Planning Board will say that the UDC has approved these proposed changes as being in "substantial conformance" with the RMP. That is accurate, UDC has said that, but it is also somewhat misleading. The UDC is relying on future planning board decisions to correctly apply the guidelines to projects individually.
Regrettably and inexplicably, the town board and its consultants have not chosen to link the zoning amendments to the existing river district regulations — a simple, clear and rational solution. It would accomplish the administrative issue and keep the existing zoning in place.
It is ironic that this zoning rewrite effort ostensibly addresses the unclear boundary of the river district but, in fact, creates zoning regarding hundreds of acres that is ambiguous and will be open to interpretation and debate. Landowners and potential developers will not be able to read the zoning and understand the development potential of this new RU area without the clear definition as already exists in the Town of Delaware's current zoning. With this amendment, an unclear new layer of rhetoric has been added, diminishing our concise and distinct existing regulations.
There are now many more questions unanswered than answered.
Buck Moorhead lives in Callicoon, NY and is an architect practicing in the Upper Delaware River Region.
[Editor's Note: A special meeting to vote on the zoning changes will be held on Wednesday, July 31. See page 2.]

Here's the high street hot list
It was sometime around 2008, just before the first credit crunch began to bite, that the UK high street began to seriously rock. Chains like River Island, Warehouse, Oasis, H&M with their guest collections, and Debenhams with their "Designers For..." collections, all began to up their game in response, some would argue, to the challenge of Primark. The high street was transformed from "meh" to must-go.
The Irish-owned budget chain, which crept quietly on to the high street to become a seemingly overnight phenomenon, pulled off the genius trick of catching trends and churning out copies - sometimes astonishingly good and sometimes truly horrid - that left breathless even those who had honed the rip-off concept. The UK's love affair with Primark has definitely cooled, but its legacy - a high street that produces brilliant, directional pieces that are often indistinguishable from a designer original - remains.
This is especially true of Spanish chain Zara, which can be relied on to work the season's strongest trends in good fabrics and great colours at good prices. For spring, that includes their hallmark pared-down, deliciously grown-up pieces like tuxedo jackets with contrast collars, cocoon skirts in bright hues worn with clashing, slash-neck tops, silky slouch tops in vertical colour blocks and understated linen coats.
Home-grown chain Oasis - founded by Bennett brothers Michael and Maurice, now owned by Aurora Fashions - has an especially covetable collection for spring 2012, featuring the season's favourite pastels and sorbet colours, plain or blended in exclusive prints designed by an in-house fabric designer. There are lace pencil skirts, sweetly retro sundresses, brilliantly wearable shift dresses, some with peplums, textured linen cocoon skirts, sheer mid-calf midi skirts and ankle-skimming pastel jeans.
Sister brand Warehouse also offers directional and wearable pieces for spring, like scarf-print tops, mixed print shift dresses and shirts, flower-print trousers, lace pencil skirts with toning cotton knit jumpers, and little dresses with Prada-esque appliqué lace.
Reiss is another high street brand punching well above its price tag for spring 2012. They, too, have an in-house print designer who has created sweet, original florals and abstracts which have been crafted into infinitely wearable little tops, midi and cocoon skirts, placement print shirts, shapely, bracelet sleeve shifts and collarless shirt dresses. Alongside prints, are lace pencil skirts, dip-dyed maxi skirts, ankle-skimming trousers and an infinite number of beautifully tailored blazers and tuxedo jackets.
Debenhams "Designers For..." and "Editions" collections are very strong for spring. Naturally, print features strongly, with J by Jasper Conran's fluid, silky pencil skirt in lime, navy and white, Rocha - John Rocha's placement print shift - and a purple-and-lime print frock from Betty Jackson Black, all brilliantly wearable. A Preen Edition floral and polka dot print used for ankle-skimming trousers, contrast-trim shirt, and a scoop-neck shift, looks seriously pricey and on-trend, while a belted, colour-block crepe dress in red and purple is a stand-out piece from Roksanda Ilincic's Roksanda Edition collection.
River Island, now headed by Ben Lewis, son of late Isrotel boss David, is dazzlingly on-trend for spring. Unlike most of the high street, which is wooing a slightly older demographic for its greater spending power, River Island's collections are frankly aimed at under 30s. This policy puts designer lookalike pieces like mixed-print, '70s trouser-suits, disco-inspired gold-trimmed bra-top-and-skirt ensembles, and sports luxe pieces, within the range of junior style hunters on lower budgets. If you are outside the demographic, River Island is still brilliant for sleek tops, great knits, and stunning shoes and bags.
Which brings us to M&S. Now almost two years into the tenure of Marc Bolland, little has changed in its fashion offering, some of which still resembles C&A's Clockhouse in its dying days. But then not much will change until someone in their glossy Paddington Basin HQ realises that the former fashion queen of Asda, with questionable taste and a take-it-or-leave-it policy of producing key styles in a single colour, may not be the style saviour for M&S. For spring, amid a sea of nasty colours and fabrics, are a few gems worth truffling out, including placement print shifts and pencil skirts, print dresses and a sweet, cat-print blouse.

Best course I've played while in Orlando, FL area. This is the kind of course you would find in the great Pacific Northwest minus all the bugs and palm size spiders that are all over this course. The course should be a par 54 not a par 66. There is two par 4's 280ft and below. Two par 5's with one of them at 315ft. 9 total par 4's with only two of them over 400ft. Very easy course to put great under par numbers.
I like all the tight windows you had to hit. You have to keep your disc low throughout the whole course. Not many big hyzers shots at all.

The village will conduct prescribed burns on Thursday at the Sierra Court detention area at the intersection of Algonquin Road and Pyott Road and at the Joseph Court detention area adjacent to Joseph Court in the village.
On Friday a prescribed burn is scheduled at the Frank Road detention area south of Miller Road on Frank Road.
Encap Inc. will perform the prescribed burns as part of scheduled maintenance of the natural areas.
Prescribed burns are an efficient and economical tool that reduces the amount of pesticides needed to control invasive plants, the village said in a news release. Fire helps to promote species diversity by controlling invasive woody shrubs and trees. Without fire, natural areas often become thickets of shrubs or weeds. Fire burns off dead vegetation and stimulates new plant growth by allowing sunlight to warm the dark soil, encouraging germination. Fire also enriches the soil by returning nutrients back to the soil.
During the burns, the village asks that residents keep pets inside, although workers will make every effort to prevent drifting smoke. The village recommends residents keep windows closed. Depending on weather conditions, the prescribed burns may be rescheduled to next week. People with questions regarding the prescribed burns, should call the Village of Lake in the Hills at 847-960-7500.

Skip to comments.WHO Chief Presses Rich Nations for More AIDS Cash (hand me your wallet)
Posted on 12/07/2003 2:40:33 PM PST by traumer
BRASILIA, Brazil (Reuters) - The head of the World Health Organization (news - web sites) on Sunday urged rich nations to provide more money to fight AIDS (news -web sites), which is devastating African nations.
WHO Director General Jong-Wook Lee called on Britain, Japan and Scandinavian nations in particular to donate more money to the organization's global push against the disease, estimated to be killing 8,000 people a day.
"The trend is more money is becoming available, we have to put in more requests and suggestions and pressure to the countries," said Lee, in Brazil for a global health conference.
He said "very urgent action and not the business-as-usual approach" was needed.
Funding to battle HIV (news - web sites)/AIDS has increased from $3.2 billion in 2002 to $4.7 billion but is still less than half the yearly total the United Nations (news - web sites) has called for to fight the epidemic and provide drugs to treat people infected by HIV.
The WHO earlier this month unveiled plans to rush life-saving antiretroviral (ARV) AIDS drugs to 3 million of the world's poor by 2005 and train 10,000 health workers.
Lee said HIV had now infected nearly 40 percent of people in Botswana and half the population would die of AIDS unless urgent action was taken. Life expectancy in Mozambique is expected to fall to 27 years due to the disease.
In 2002 around $1 billion was spent on fighting HIV and AIDS in Africa, which is thought to have nearly 30 million of the 40 million people infected by the disease.
The United States has promised $15 billion over five years to combat AIDS, especially in Africa. It has come under fire for only earmarking $2 billion for the program next year.
Earlier this year, Britain said it would give a global AIDS fund $280 million through to 2008 after initially pledging $200 million for five years in 2001.
What? Again?? Oh, that's right. Last month it was the UN saying the rich nations needed to pony up more to 'fight AIDS'. How about "presses" to fight malaria or diarrhea? I'll bet these two beauties kill a whole lot more people in 3rd world countries than AIDS.
No, it's spread by homosexuals and those who engage in behavior similar to homosexuals, as in bisexualism.
Read up, my friend.
You've been listening to way too much PC "It's normal" propaganda. We live in 2003 now. The thought police are gone.
You'll catch on soon enough newbie. Stick around a while.
AIDS is spread through more than homosexual activity, why don't you take a class on it that has been updated since 1985.
The chances of contracting HIV from a promiscuous homosexual lifestyle are much higher than the chances of contracting HIV from a promiscuous heterosexual lifestyle.
No offense, but why don't you take a class on it that isn't taught by a liberal professor?
I think the death rate among HIV patients is a pretty solid 90-100%.
Are condoms a good way to keep from getting AIDS? "Condoms will reduce your chance of infection, compared to having sex without any form of protection. Nonetheless, one in three AIDS victims will contract the disease from an infected partner despite 100% use of condoms. One study found that among married couples where one partner was HIV-positive, 17% of the uninfected spouses contracted the disease, despite the use of condoms. The best way to prevent AIDS is abstinence. More about HIV/AIDS.... "
Sterotyped by who? The liberal left's "tolerance of all sin" propaganda?
That's a bad thing because......????? I don't see a problem here. Enlighten me.
After all, homosexists are just like you and me....
Scripter or EdReform would you post your list of links,this thread has one of the most ill informed posters I've seen in ages and many who are on the right track but need better,more up to date info. I don't know how to link but this thread could use your help. Thanks.
Here's a recent link on the issue:
Africa isnt dying of AidsAdditional links on AIDS and Africa:
Anal Sex Largest Cause of HIV in Africa
African Women and AIDS
African sexual health programmes "misguided"
Indeed you are correct, saradippity, some here are ill informed and cannot support some of their statements. And some here claim those who discourage homosexual behavior somehow hate homosexuals, when it fact it's just the opposite.
dougherty is right that needles are another way AIDS is spread in Africa. In fact, needles are the primary reason for the AIDS problem in Africa, with anal sex (heterosexual and homosexual) second.
Fortunately homosexuals have admitted AIDS culpability so perhaps they'll start acting more responsibly, and the best way to do that is abstinence.
You'll find the above links and quite a few others below in regards to the severe health hazards of the homosexual lifestyle.
