The offset-of-first-byte param to FileTailingAdaptor is hashed into the default adaptor name. This changes the semantics of adaptor uniqueness, and broke metrics and the log4jappender.
Proposed fix:
Add a new "addByName()" method to ChukwaAgentController that lets callers specify names.
Use this new method whenever finer control of adaptor uniqueness is needed.

It will be better only if the client has enough knowledge on how the underlying implementation is done and if the client want to take care of that ....
It's good to have the ability to create your own naming convention for the adaptor but I assume that most developers will just use the implementation that do not specify the name as it simple and they will not have to worry about duplicate and so on ....
Solution that will not change the semantics of adaptor uniqueness, and broke metrics and the log4jappender :
- add a method to the adaptor interface (isDuplicate, that takes the same parameters as the start method)
- each adaptor will register to the factory class so AdaptorManager will be able to call the isDuplicate's method on the right Adaptor
- if there's no instance for specific adaptor then it's because there's no duplicate
At the AdaptorManager level:
- if name is present then do not check anything
- if name not there then rely on the adaptor to found if it's a duplicate or not.
My view is that adaptor names are a responsibility for users, not for Adaptor developers. In practice, most users will use the controller, which is able to handle this for them. More precisely, I think uniqueness is a problem for whoever is issuing the "add" command, which is a handful of places in the Chukwa code, plus advanced users who presumably know what they're doing.
I'm uneasy about an isDuplicate method. The Adaptor interface is already getting uncomfortably complex and that makes me skittish. Worse, it's not clear what isDuplicate should do. What does it mean, really, to say that one adaptor duplicates another? It seems like this is pushing an awful lot of policy into Adaptors, without being able to give adaptor authors any guidance on what it should be.
If I understand your proposal correctly, isDuplicate() need to be called for each existing adaptor, every time we create one. That might be a performance limitation at scale.
Here's some code to illustrate the fix I had in mind. Lacks tests, so not yet ready to commit.
I think this approach is clean, and won't need to be revisited, and won't add to the maintainance burden in the future.
Ari could you move the MD5's method to an helper class out of ChukwaAgent.
There's no point in requiring the agent class on top of chukwa-hadoop-client.jar (so make sure that chukwa-hadoop-client.jar is self contain)
Good catch. How about org.apache.hadoop.chukwa.util.AdaptorNamingUtils?
Quick fix for troubles with metrics. Probably not final word on underlying issue, though.
Base on today's discussion, the interface should be refined to include optional parameters, and the original naming is generated base on adaptor name + stream name (fixed parameters).
UTF8 adaptor should have one offset tracker instead of 2 to identify that sending from offset 0 and offset 100 should generate the same adaptor id for the common use cases for UTF8 adaptor.
For my proposal:
1- if the client provide a name, then this name overwrite all the AdaptorManager logic
2- If there's no name then the AdaptorManager rely on the underlying adaptor to provide one.
3- >> uniqueness is a problem for whoever is issuing the "add" command
I still think that if the one that is doing the add is automatically able to figure out a unique name in order to avoid duplicate in a distributed environment without talking to anyone else, then the that logic can be pushed down the adaptorManager, who is the only one to have the global vision.
4- >> isDuplicate() need to be called for each existing adaptor, every time we create one
No. the AdaptorManager, receive a Add command then call a isDuplicate's method to the factory,
Here the workfow:
4.1- At the factory level, if there's no adaptor already registered for this AdaptorType then there's no duplicate
4.1.1- if it's not a duplicate The AdaptorManger call the factory to create the adaptor
126.96.36.199- The factory create the new adaptor and register that instance as the instance that will provide all answers for the isDuplicate call for that specific AdaptorType (hash.put(AdaptorType, adaptor) )
4.1.2- if there's already one adaptor registered for the AdaptorType then the factory return hash.get(AdaptorType).isDuplicate(...)
22.214.171.124- At the AdaptorManager level if it's a duplicate then it returns the existing adaptor based on the name, otherwise call the factory
So there's no iteration over any adaptors, just a get from a hash based on AdaptorType + 1 call to isDuplicate(..) and therefore there's no performance issue
Eric, Jerome – both your suggestions involve significant changes to the adaptor interface, as well as to the semantics of adaptor creation. The biggest reason I wanted to fix this in the controller is that it's a very small change – the patch only changes a handful of lines.
How would you feel about doing the controller fix in 0.2, and something more principled for trunk?
or we can put back something similar to the simple check that was there before for the 0.2 release + a check on the name.
But that one involved scanning all adaptors and may have some performances impact under a large number of adaptors.
if (params.indexOf(a.getValue().getStreamName())!=-1){ log.warn(params + " already exist, skipping."); return null; }
As best I understand, here's the best synethsis of what Eric and Jerome are proposing.
- Adaptor.start() has been split into start() and parseArgs(). The parseArgs() method parses the arguments, stores them, and returns only the part of the argument that is required for duplicate detection – so for instance, the offset is not included. This is Eric's point about splitting mandatory from optional params.
Only the mandatory part is used in synthesizing adaptor names by default. This is basically jerome's suggestion, except without the hassle of maintaining a registry.
I'm proposing this for trunk, not sure about 0.2
Do we have any number about how many files are processed every day? I think the performance impact introduced by scanning all adaptors could be neglected.
- How do you know that you don't need the optional part to compute the adaptor's name?
What if the optional part says use this extractRecord method unless there's already someone watching the file?
- What the purpose of parseArgs()? returns only the part of the argument that is required for duplicate detection? so that's basically my proposal with the isDuplicate method. At least with a isDuplicate method's name you kind of know what is used for.
And if you don't maintain the registry part (the AdaptorType lookup from the factory) then you are always going to create a new instance just to get the name, is that correct?
Yes. The parseArgs() method returns exactly the part of the argument used for duplicate detection; this was intended to carry out your suggestion. I noticed that isDuplicate would basically have to reproduce all the parsing logic from start(), and it occurred to me that that should be factored out-- duplicating the code would be a significant maintainance burden.
The point about "optional parts" is a good one. I think this is a documentation-only fix – instead of talking about optional parts, the comment should be more explicit that the string returned is used for duplicate detection.
As to not keeping a registry – object creation in Java is really efficient, as is garbage-collecting short-lived objects so I think the overhead of creating an object, and throwing it away if that adaptor already exists, is OK. (Particularly since it avoids a hash lookup) Adding more shared datastructures is unappealing – each new datastructure needs a synchronization scheme, and introduces the posibility of subtle bugs.
big-1 includes fixes to a number of test cases; most of these fixes are unrelated to
CHUKWA-330, but needed to make unit tests pass.
To be clear – I'm proposing the big patch for trunk, small patch for 0.2 – changing the Adaptor interface is a biggish change for this stage of release cycle.
+1, thanks Ari for addressing these issues with lots of patients.
CHUKWA-330 is good for chukwa 0.2 branch.
CHUKWA-330-big-1 is good for trunk for additional bake time.
Hey Eric? I think you may have committed the one without the revised tests. Was that deliberate?

I love winter weddings! Bri and Dan had a great one at St. Patricks followed by a reception at the Anchorage Hilton. The classic red color scheme was perfect for the winter setting, they even had a christmas tree at the reception! R&R Production's provided the tunes and some nice room lighting to work with(don't skimp here!). Oh, and the groomsmen wore mini-snowboard boutineers! Anyways, a big thank you to Bri & Dan for choosing me to tell the story of their big day! Congratulations and enjoy the pics!

The Plaza Fairmont, New York
With its position facing Central Park on one side and the world-famous FAO Schwartz toyshop across Fifth Avenue, plus its association with Eloise, the precocious children's book character who lived at the hotel (her portrait hangs opposite the Palm Court), the Plaza is just made for kids. The hotel is styled as a French château: crystal chandeliers, velvet sofas, acres of polished floors. Stay in the Tower Suite, an extraordinary corner room with circular beds and ridiculously high, turreted ceilings. A family 'ambassador' (that is, a particularly patient and smiley staff member) accompanies you to your room on check-in, and knights younger family members with a ceremonial sword. 'For young children who have demonstrated bravery and prowess on the battlefield,' reads the ambassador, totally straight-faced, from a scroll that might put Magna Carta to shame and is yours to take home. (And if New York is a combat zone in terms of shopping and sightseeing, the citation couldn't be more apt.) Yes, it's kind of hokey, and older children might roll their eyes, but the under-eights can't get enough of this shtick - or the host of goodies, including a closet full of dressing-up gear, children's terrycloth bathrobes (very knightly), a hardback copy of The Knight at Dawn from the Magic Tree House series, and a $100 gift card for FAO Schwartz. They even throw in a family picnic, to be taken at Belvedere Castle in the park.

The Fair Work Commission has held that an employer's offer to relocate an employee to a remote town in northern Western Australia in a lower paid position with less seniority was not acceptable alternative employment.
Implications for employers
When considering what constitutes acceptable alternative employment, an employer should consider, among other things, the employee's skills/experience and job security. If relevant, employers should also take into account the reasonableness of any reduction in salary, changes in the number of hours required to be worked, and variations in the employee's seniority. Additionally, if the new position requires relocation of the employee, it is important to consider costs associated with the relocation and extra travel time.
The respondent, Ms Margaret McEniery, was employed by Children's Services Support Unit Inc (CSSU) as a Regional and Remote Coordinator of Wickham's out-of-school care program. Among other things, Ms McEniery's contract provided that she would relocate to other CSSU services as required. Ms McEniery's employment was terminated because the CSSU 'no longer required the job she was doing to be done by anyone'.
Upon being made redundant, the CSSU offered Ms McEniery an alternative position as the Contact Coordinator 2IC at the Dampier Early Learning Centre. This would require Ms McEniery to relocate to Karratha in northern Western Australia, approximately 20 kilometres from Dampier Early Learning Centre.
Additionally, Ms McEniery's hourly rate of pay in the alternative position would decrease by 19%. The redundant position involved caring for children between ages five and 12, whilst the alternative position would involve dealing with children under five years of age. The duties and responsibilities of the two positions were similar.
Pursuant to section 120 of the Fair Work Act (FW Act), the CSSU applied for orders varying the redundancy pay Ms McEniery was entitled to. The Commission was required to determine whether the offer of alternative employment was acceptable and if so, whether the amount of redundancy pay payable to Ms McEniery should be reduced.
Commissioner Williams did not accept that the Contact Coordinator 2IC position was acceptable alternative employment for the purposes of section 120 of the FW Act. Among other things, Commissioner Williams held that;
- a 19% reduction in pay was sufficiently significant, particularly given there were no other benefits to offset this;
- it was likely there would be an increase in net housing costs which would have a negative impact on Ms McEniery; and
- the reduction in Ms McEniery's seniority was a significant negative consequence of the alternative position.
Commissioner Williams found that the requirement to move to Karratha did not of itself result in the alternative position being unacceptable, particularly given that Ms McEniery's contract of employment stipulated that she may be required to relocate if necessary. In addition, the fact Ms McEniery would be dealing with children of a different age group was not enough to indicate that the alternative employment was not acceptable.
Commissioner Williams noted that whether alternative employment is suitable should be determined objectively and not from the subjective perspective of the employer or employee. Ms McEniery was entitled to the full benefits of her redundancy pay.

Released by Trinity Police Department
TRINITY/TRINITY COUNTY (KYTX) - TPD Officers responded to the Brookshire Brother's parking lot. It was
reported a grandmother had accidentally locked her keys in the vehicle
with her six month old grandson. Chief Jones was the first on scene an
immediately made the decision to have the window broken out of the
vehicle. Using his asp baton, Sgt. Wheeler, was able to break out the
driver's window. The child was safely returned to the grandmother and,
at the grandmother's request, checked out and cleared by paramedics.
Thankfully, the child was ok in the incident. But there is something to be learned from it. The grandmother mistakenly only thought he had been in the vehicle for approximately 10 minutes. Chief Jones reviewed the store camera system and found that the child was actually locked in the vehicle for approximately 28 minutes. Based on a study conducted by the Department of Geosciences at the San Francisco State University; at an outside temperature of 80 degrees after 30 minutes the inside of the vehicle becomes 114 degrees. Today the temperature was around 98 degrees. You do the math!
The grandmother called for her husband to bring another key and was doing what she thought best, but if you lock your child in the vehicle or you see a child locked in a vehicle, then please treat it as an emergency and notify law enforcement via 911 or directly call your local office.
We have attached some information from to the San Francisco State University Department of Geosciences data. You may be shocked at what the statistics you find there.

Irony alert! Singer and social media star Miley Cyrus is aiming her famous wrecking ball at a new target, and it's none other than, um, social media. To hear the former Disney TV star turned--twerking-and-marijuana-championing superstar, social media is worse than pot, an herb with which she certifiably has more than a little familiarity.
Never mind that Cyrus has 49,452,968 Facebook followers, 18,426,402 Twitter followers and 12,306,880 Instagram followers.
Her attack on social media came up over the weekend during an interview with Sunday Night, an Australian TV program.
"I put some picture of me smoking weed … on my Instagram because I was brought up in the way that we never thought marijuana was bad," said Cyrus, who apparently has been taken aback at some less than favorable comments posted on her social media sites.
When the Sunday Night interview commented aloud on her new tattoo, "Love your brain," Cyrus was quick to respond.
"You know what hurts your brain?" she asked. "Googling yourself. You know what hurts your brain? Instagram. You know what hurts your brain? Reading comments on Facebook. You know what hurts your brain? Reading US Weekly."
Cyrus is right on target about the vapid and often cruel tone that too many social media users employ, cloaked in online anonymity. But it is disingenuous of her to use social media to fuel her career by posting provocative comments and suggestive photos of herself, then acting shocked when doing so inspires negative responses from Internet trolls.
Rest assured, we're not defending loathsome Internet trolls, nor are we attacking Cyrus' right to say anything she wants -- or to change her stance as she evolves.
But if she really wants to shock people and take advantage of a genuinely teachable moment, she could directly engage her social media followers in a frank discussion about the pros and cons of online interaction. Or, perish the thought, she could stop engaging with social media for a week, a month, or longer, and see what happens.

Judith Orloff Interview About Positive Energy
The Chicago Sun-Times
By Debra Pickett
Judith Orloff is a University of Southern California-trained psychiatrist with a small private practice and a spot on the medical school faculty at UCLA.
She is also an "intuitive empath," able to gain great insight into people by reading the energy they project.
Guess which one she's famous for.
The people who flock to her appearances and seminars are not there for medical advice. Or, anyway, not the sort of advice you could get from the doctors Orloff describes as "the good-old-boy surgeon types."
Instead, they're more like the woman who showed up last night at Transitions Bookplace, where Orloff was signing copies of her latest book, Positive Energy (Harmony Books: $24).
"She was really kind of miserable," Orloff says, crossing a slim leg beneath our table at 437 Rush. "She was talking about her job at Victoria's Secret."
When Orloff asked her if there was something she felt like she should be doing, rather than selling underwear, she replied that she'd always pictured herself running a child-care center. Orloff told the woman that was her intuition speaking to her: she was meant to be taking care of kids.
I decide that it's possible that I, too, might be an intuitive empath.
Orloff grew up in Beverly Hills, where both her Philadelphia-reared parents were doctors. Her personality seems to reflect a blending of East Coast achiever with California flake.
So she tries hard to steer clear of the new age-y jargon that invites cynics to heap contempt on ideas like intuitive healing and positive energy. But she also manages to make it clear that, when she describes the "subtle energy" people project, she's talking about what your average guru would call "auras" or "chakras" or "chi."
"I don't want to portray intuition as a new age phenomena," she says, when I ask her about this. "It isn't. It's a human phenomena and it needs to be integrated into modern, Western medicine. So I'm very careful with my vocabulary."
Still, she does flirt with a certain metaphysical goofiness, as when, taking a bite into the scallopini-thin chicken breast she's ordered, she declares, "This chicken gives me energy. I try not to eat foods that deplete me."
It's hard to know how seriously to take her. So, when she tells a story about the time -- she was about 10, she thinks -- she told her parents that a friend of theirs was going to kill himself and he did, I'm speechless. After several seconds of awkward silence, I manage to force out a follow-up question: Did you really understand what that meant when you said it?
"I didn't understand it," she says. "And my parents forbade me to express any of my intuitions at home, so I grew up thinking there was something wrong with it."
In retrospect, she says, she understands that her parents, now gone, were just trying to protect her. Her mother "just never wanted me to be thought of as strange or weird."
But, she says, it made for a sometimes-difficult childhood. She didn't know what to do with the complicated thoughts and feelings that seemed to arrive, unbidden, in her mind. She'd find herself deeply exhausted after leaving a crowded public place, like a shopping center, because, she says, she'd absorbed all the energy being put out by the people there.
I nod in understanding. Malls wear me out, too.
You know, I really just might be an intuitive empath.
Orloff figured out that she was one as a teenager, when, in the aftermath of a serious car accident, her parents took her to talk to a psychiatrist. From then on, she says, she decided to start listening to her premonitions and dreams.
Fine-boned, and with wide eyes that seem to pop out from her fair skin, Orloff, 52, has a certain ingenue-like quality. She speaks softly and eats her lunch in tiny bites.
Her book is all about how people can protect themselves from the aspects of modern life -- like constant multitasking -- that tend to drain our energy away. (Somewhat predictably, she prescribes meditation and deep breathing and long, candlelit baths.) And Orloff herself seems like someone who doesn't quite want to live in the modern world.
She's had the same office for 20 years, doesn't travel too much, doesn't like trying new restaurants or meeting lots of new people.
"I think happiness comes from inside," she says, "so I don't look for it in things like that."
She doesn't talk much about her personal life, other than saying that yes, she definitely has one. And, when she talks about phases of her life -- college, medical school, the fame she found after her first book was published and she "came out" as an intuitive empath -- she mentions a different boyfriend for each one.
There was the Venice Beach mural artist she was living with when she had the dream that told her to go to medical school. And then there was the medical school boyfriend who worked in the anatomy lab and tutored her in the basic sciences.
But since she published Second Sight (Warner Books: $14.95) in 1997, she's discovered that being an intuitive empath is not actually a great help in romantic relationships.
"In dating," she says, "men always think I'm reading their minds."
Is she?
She laughs. "I don't go there," she says. "But that's what they always think."
Her life has changed in other ways since that first book, too. She's become a favorite on the magazine and talk-show circuit and regularly sells out large seminars for people eager to get in touch with their own intuition. She's continued to be a practicing psychiatrist, though her 20 regular patients now include some serious Hollywood movers and shakers. And she's got a waiting list 5,000 names long, just in case someone should drop out.
A true Southern Californian, she's keenly aware of the nature of celebrity. So, in Positive Energy, she includes an interview with a celebrity at the end of each chapter. Shirley MacLaine discusses creativity. And Larry King talks about generating positive energy. She also quotes Kenny Loggins ("Footloose") as an authority on sexuality and Cheryl Tiegs on yoga.
"People will hear it better," she says, if her advice on how to use your intuition and raise your energy level comes from the very famous.
But she does have to admit that sometimes the message can get a little muddled.
Donald Trump showed up at her book party, she says, and she took the opportunity to ask him if positive energy plays a role in business.
"He said, 'Absolutely,'" she says, "And he went on, saying how positive energy is the single most important factor in business: 'You have to be positive . . . because life is a bitch.'"
It's not exactly the way she'd put it, but she laughs and says
she loves it. She knows other people will, too.
Judith Orloff, an "intuitive empath," tries to avoid new age jargon. But she believes in the importance of "subtle energy" and teaches people how to protect themselves from energy-sapping multitasking.

Dental Management of Patients with Hypertension
J. Bruce Bavitz, DMD, FACD
Department of Surgical Specialties, University of Nebraska Medical Center, College of Dentistry, 40th and Holdrege, Lincoln, NE 68583-0757, USA
Surprisingly, there is little if any data to indicate that treating a patient with hypertension alone increases the risk for adverseoutcomes or complications. Most dentists, however, realize that hypertension often leads to cardiovascular disease, renal disease, and strokes, which are conditions that increase the risk for complications, both during and after dental care. Oral and systemic side effects may also arise from the medicines used to treat hypertensive patients. This article reviews the current thought on the pathogenesis,diagnosis, and treatment of hypertension, and provides guidance on how best to treat patients with this common medical problem.
Physiology Blood pressure (BP) is determined by how much blood the heart pumps (ie, cardiac output) and by the resistance to blood flow in the vascular system. Cardiac output in turn is determined by how often the pump contracts (ie, heart rate) and by the amount ofblood ejected during each beat (ie, stroke volume). High blood pressure, therefore, results from either narrow inflexible arteries, an elevated heart rate, increased blood volume, more forceful contractions, or any combination of the above. BP is never constant; it peaks right after the ventricles contract (systole) and reaches its low point as the ventricles fill (diastole). Mean arterial pressure(MAP) is calculated by multiplying the diastolic BP by two, adding the systolic BP, and dividing by three. Diastolic BP is multiplied by two as, on average, the heart spends roughly twice the amount of time in diastole as in systole. The long-term regulation of BP is controlled predominantly by the kidneys through their variable release of the enzyme renin. Renin goes on to

cleave angiotensinogen to angiotensin 1, which is converted by angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) to angiotensin 2. Angiotensin 2 causes vasoconstriction (ie, elevated vascular resistance) and stimulates the release of aldosterone, anenzyme that increases sodium resorption in the kidney. Increased sodium resorption raises blood volume, again elevating the BP. In response to fear (such as impending extraction), exercise, and other environmental stimuli, the autonomic nervous system (ANS) activates its ''fight or flight'' response and can, within seconds, raise the blood pressure. The sympathetic arm of the ANS releases norepinephrine,which acts on the beta-1 receptors of the heart to increase the rate and force of contractions. This is the positive chronotropic and inotropic effect. Norepinephrine release also triggers the alpha-1 receptors on the vasculature to initiate vasoconstriction, again raising pressure. In summary, over a given day or week, MAP readings are primarily under control of the kidneys, while fear and stresscan provoke the ANS to quickly and dramatically raise values. Interestingly, some patients respond to severe psychologic stress (such as a dental injection) by first activating the sympathetic arm of the ANS, but then have an exaggerated parasympathetic response. The acetylcholine transmitter of the parasympathetic system causes the heart to slow, leading to a dramatic fall in BP and a resultantsyncopal event, such as fainting. These patients usually regain consciousness after being placed in a supine position.
Diagnosis Many common medical conditions now have guidelines to aid in their diagnosis and treatment. These guidelines are typically formulated by recognized experts from multiple disciplines. In 2003, the National High Blood Pressure Education Program promulgated their latest...

Soccer-Kiev game against Valencia moved to Cyprus
* Europa League game relocated due to civil unrest
* Last 32, first leg to be played in neutral Nicosia (Adds Tottenham advice on travel to Dnipropetrovsk)
MADRID, Feb 19 (Reuters) - Dynamo Kiev's Europa League last-32, first leg at home to Spanish club Valencia on Thursday has been moved to the Cypriot capital Nicosia due to civil unrest in the Ukrainian capital.
President Viktor Yanukovich has declared Thursday a day of mourning after at least 26 people died in the worst violence in Ukraine since the former Soviet republic gained independence.
Valencia's president, Amadeo Salvo, told reporters at the city's airport on Wednesday that "common sense" had prevailed and the game had been moved to Nicosia and would kick off at the original time of 1800 GMT.
"The players are having something to eat and in a few hours we are flying to Cyprus," Salvo said.
"It was very difficult to play in Kiev," he added.
"They guaranteed our security but the situation is very unpredictable and cannot be controlled and the best thing is to play at a neutral venue.
"We are satisfied. Common sense and the cordial relations between all involved have prevailed.
"The best thing, the most positive, is that there is no change to the date of the match or the La Liga calendar."
The Ukrainian government has launched a crackdown on protesters who have been occupying central Kiev for almost three months since Yanukovich rejected a trade deal with the European Union and accepted a $15-billion Russian bailout.
Salvo apologised to any Valencia supporters who had made the trip to Ukraine for the match.
Tottenham Hotspur face Dnipro FC in the Ukrainian city of Dnipropetrovsk with the English club advising travelling supporters, especially those going via Kiev, to be wary of getting caught up in demonstrations.
"Travelling fans are advised to avoid gatherings and areas where demonstrations could occur such as public squares and administrative buildings during journeys to and from the stadium," Spurs said on their website (www.tottenhamhotspur.com).
"Those fans that are travelling via Kiev should take extra care...avoid all demonstrations and public gatherings as even peaceful protests can be unpredictable," they said, adding fans should carry their passports on them at all times and expect police checks.

Applied DNA supplier for Defense
The U.S. Department of Defense has said it is now requiring all of its microcircuit suppliers to embed the high-tech devices with anticounterfitting stamps manufactured by Applied DNA Sciences Inc. of Stony Brook.
The move, announced this month, could be a boon for the struggling startup, which posted a $1.4 million loss this week for its third fiscal quarter. Applied DNA's president and chief executive, James A. Hayward, said the requirement will impact hundreds of companies, including some of the world's largest microcircuit makers.
"We are already receiving numerous inquiries," Hayward said Thursday in a letter to investors. Applied DNA, with 25 employees, marks microchips and other products with plant DNA that cannot be duplicated.
The company has struggled to turn a profit since its founding in 2002. Its stock jumped about 22 percent Thursday, to 7 cents a share, after Hayward told investors about the Department of Defense's requirement.

Seward Bill Clears Path For Otsego County To Withdraw From MOSA
ALBANY, 06/13/11 -- The New York State Senate today passed a bill (S.4555A) that would allow Otsego County to withdraw from the Montgomery, Otsego, Schoharie Solid Waste Authority (MOSA) at their discretion. The legislation, sponsored by Senator James L. Seward (R-C-I, Oneonta), establishes the legal roadmap for Otsego County to leave the authority.
"The legislation follows a home-rule request made by the county board to sever ties with MOSA and move forward on their own in meeting the solid waste needs of Otsego County residents and businesses," said Senator Seward. "The request follows extensive study and exhaustive research on the part of the Otsego County Board of Representatives in regard to the future of solid waste disposal – I believe their decision should be respected."
Along with allowing Otsego County to leave MOSA, the bill also requires an equitable distribution of the authority's assets and liabilities between member counties. A population-based formula is used to determine the allocations.
The Montgomery, Otsego, Schoharie Solid Waste Authority (MOSA) was formed in 1988 to handle solid waste and recycling needs of the three member counties. A 2010 report by the state authorities budget office (ABO) identified significant operational and systemic deficiencies in the authority and recommended a complete overhaul of the authority's operations and an examination of its continued viability.
"Given that the authority is now debt free and all landfill post-closure responsibilities have been defined, Otsego County should be free to move on if that is what local elected officials desire and believe is best for their constituents," Seward concluded.
The bill has been sent to the assembly.

Religious Fundamentalism | Global Violence | Road to Jerusalem/
Beyond the Veil| Eliza Griswold, who has spent the last five years traveling to Nigeria to examine the causes of religious violence, explores the fact the Muslims and Christians in Africa are involved in a numbers game, in her book "The Tenth Parallel".
At least 10,000 Nigerians have died during Christian-Muslim violence during the past decade.
The tenth parallel north, the line of latitude seven hundred miles north of the equator, is the defining metaphor of our time, according to Griswold. The author's arguments reinforce our own: all roads lead to Jerusalem whether they begin among fundamentalists in America or Nigeria. Read on — and hear Griswold in a new interview - in World's Women.

Try perl
Did yopu notice that this is Unix shell scripts?
DOS batch has very few useful utilities and is hopeless at date manipulation. You would do best to install a perl interpreter and run a perl script (www.perl.org)
You might manage using kixtart or an other DOS based script language but once you learn perl you'll never use anything else!

(For example "to be or not to be", "the who", "man in the moon" vs "man on the moon" etc.)
Several postings regarding slow phrase queries have suggested using the approach used by Nutch. Perhaps someone with more Java/Solr experience might take this on.
It should be possible to port the Nutch CommonGrams code to Solr and create a suitable Solr FilterFactory so that it could be used in Solr by listing it in the Solr schema.xml.
"Construct n-grams for frequently occuring terms and phrases while indexing. Optimize phrase queries to use the n-grams. Single terms are still indexed too, with n-grams overlaid."

Attached is my first cut at a port of the Nutch CommonGrams filter to Solr. I still need to write tests for CommonGramsFilterFactory and CommonGramsQueryFilterFactory. Nutch had a method call to optimize phrase queries. For Solr I just wrote CommonGramsQueryFilter for handling queries. Preliminary tests with a relatively small* index of 100,000 full-text documents (index size 44GB, about 30% larger than the index without commongrams) indicate about 10x decrease in response times for phrase queries.
This post by Hoss was extremely helpful as was his suggestion to use the Solr BufferedTokenStream as a base class:
Here is an example schema.xml entry
<fieldType name="ocrCommon" class="solr.TextField" positionIncrementGap="100">
<analyzer type="index">
<tokenizer class="solr.WhitespaceTokenizerFactory"/>
<filter class="solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory"/>
<filter class="solr.CommonGramsFilterFactory" words="commonwords.txt"/>
<analyzer type="query">
<tokenizer class="solr.WhitespaceTokenizerFactory"/>
<filter class="solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory"/>
<filter class="solr.CommonGramsQueryFilterFactory" words="commonwords.txt"/>

*We are working on indexing 1-6 million full-text documents. Our current 1 million document index is about 235GB, so in our context 100,000 docs is relatively small.
The files in CommonGramsPort.zip are:
TestCommonGrams.java (Non-junit test for input on STDIN)
Attached is a patch which includes the code and unit tests for CommonGramsFilterFactory and CommonGramsQueryFilterFactory as well as the doce and unit tests for CommonGramsFilter and CommonGramsQueryFilter.
I took a super quick look and noticed:
- not all classes have ASL (I think unit test classes need it, too)
- Mentions of Copyright 2009, The Regents of The University of Michigan. I have a feeling this would need to be removed
- @author and @version. I know we remove @author lines, and I'm not sure if @version is really desired
Looks like a very thorough and complete patch, but I haven't tried it yet.
Thanks Otis. I'll add the ASL and remove the @author and @version. I must have misunderstood the ASL regarding copyright. I'll go ahead and remove the UMich copyright statements as well. Should I also remove the TODO's in the comments?
FWIW: There are some decently readable docs from the legal team about this topic...
Cleaned up patch.
ASF license now included in all files.
Umich copyright statements removed
Removed author and revision tags
Cleaned up code and reformatted using Solr Eclipse codestyle
Great Tom!
- Can we add a flag to not return the actual stop words? (I know
we could add a StopWordFilter after, however it seems redundant?)
- CommonGramsFilter.ArrayTokens is not used?
- Added an includeCommon flag which when false, does not return
common words in the token stream
- Removed static stop words, we refer to
- Needs test cases for includeCommon
- Maybe there's more redundant code that can be removed or
- Can we change this to be a fix for 1.4?
Hi Jason,
Thanks for the contribution. I applied the patch to the latest Solr and the QueryFilter tests failed (see below). Perhaps something is wrong with my configuration. Did they pass for you.?
I'll dig in to this tomorrow.
TEST-org.apache.solr.analysis.CommonGramsQueryFilterTest.xml:<testsuite errors="0" failures="17" hostname="ULIB-LIT0602"

I'll post a new patch tomorrow, essentially nothing is changing,
just cleaned up some of the code. Adding StopFilterFactory at
the end of the analyzer chain performed the same function as
includeCommon=false with no performance difference.
Thanks for cleaning up the code.
I found the problem that was causing the CommonGramsQueryFilter test to fail. CommonGramsQueryFilter checks for token type = "gram". Since the patch changed the type to "shingle" in CommonGramsFilter,, the same change has to be made in CommonGramsQueryFilter.
I'm suprised that adding StopFilterFactory to the end of the filter change doesn't affect performance. I'll wait for your new patch before proceeding.
BTW you asked >>Can we change this to be a fix for 1.4?
I'd love to, but don't the committers make that decision? How do we do that?
BTW you asked >>Can we change this to be a fix for 1.4?
I'd love to, but don't the committers make that decision? How do we do that?
Considering that:
- The issue is old and a patch has been here in one form or another since April
- We have ample time before 1.4 release
I see no reason why it can't be committed for 1.4. Otis, since you have looked at this in the past, will you take this up? Or, I can try to have a look this weekend.
We ran an indexing performance test with CommonGramFilter and a
heavily modified/optimized filter state machine from the book
Building Search Applications that does not emit stop words. I
tried to change CommonGramFilter to not emit stop words, however
BufferedTokenStream seems to only move forwards.
CommonGramFilter was 10% faster with the StopWordsFilter at the
end of the chain compared with the book's version. The book has
a GNU license for it's code so I cannot post it here.
The attached patch just cleans up a few things. Perhaps more of
the test code can be shared?
To mark the issue as 1.4 you'd edit it, change affected version
to 1.3, fix version to 1.4.
I won't get to it before going on vacation. Assigning to you if you want it.
Perhaps more of the test code can be shared?
Can't we use BaseTokenTestCase's helper methods?
- Cleaned up more
- Consolidated the test classes into one
- Formatting in CHANGES.txt for 66 seemed off, fixed it
- I didn't see how we could use BaseTokenTestCase
Is it our intention to support phrase queries with slop? I'm not sure this works?
Hi Jason,
Thanks for all your work on this.
I would be inclined to not deal with supporting slop at this point.
I guess slop of more than 0 will work as long as the query matches the commongrams exactly. (so each commongram gets treated as one token for calculating slop). Otherwise it would seem that you would have to generate commongrams for each combination of a common word and words n edit distance away to support a slop of n. At least for our use case, the increase in the size of the index would not be worth it.
I'll add in the javadocs that if a phrase has a stop word, slop will not work.
I'm reworking BufferedTokenStream to use the new token API. It
seems like caching tokens goes against the way the new token api
works. Is there an example to follow, it seems like we're
allocating objects per gram (which is what we're trying to
There seems to be a bug in CommonGramsQueryFilterFactory where the last word of a non common word query is removed. I'm going to fix it and check in a new patch.
Hi Jason,
If the last non-common word in a query is part of the previous common-gram then it gets removed by design.
i.e. query=" see the hat" query filter output should be |see-the|the-hat|
Is this a different case? The test cases should have caught the bug. Maybe we need to add a few more test cases. Could you send me a test case that shows the bug?
I changed: if (prev != null && prev.type() != "gram") from
checking for "word" which when a token was created from
StandardFilter, would be of type "<ALPHANUM>" and was being
discarded. This was causing at least one of the bugs, though
there may be another.
There is a bug that seems to be related to
HTMLStripStandardTokenizerFactory where a single word query
fails to generate a token using the following chain. However a
StandardTokenizer in it's place returns a token as expected.
SOLR-908.patch was tested with rev 799698, HTMLSSTF worked.
<tokenizer class="solr.HTMLStripStandardTokenizerFactory"/> <filter class="solr.StandardFilterFactory"/> <filter class="solr.LowerCaseFilterFactory"/> <filter class="solr.EnglishPorterFilterFactory" protected="stopwords.txt"/> <filter class="solr.CommonGramsQueryFilterFactory" words="stopwords.txt"/> <filter class="solr.StopFilterFactory" ignoreCase="true" words="stopwords.txt" enablePositionIncrements="true"/>
I'll not be able to look at this before the end of the week, so un-assigning myself.
This schema consistently and randomly generates query
truncations. Perhaps because we're mixing the new and old
tokenizing APIs? I can't figure out what state is being shared
nor how to debug this. We unfortunately upgraded to Solr 1.4
trunk and so cannot revert back to 1.3. I wrote a test case that
has not reproduced the bug locally. The bug happens in a
distributed environment with 20+ servers.
<fieldType name="vCommonGrams" class="solr.TextField" positionIncrementGap="100"> <analyzer type="index"> <tokenizer class="solr.HTMLStripStandardTokenizerFactory"/> <filter class="solr.StandardFilterFactory"/> <filter class="solr.CommonGramsFilterFactory" ignoreCase="true" words="stopwords.txt"/> <filter class="solr.StopFilterFactory" ignoreCase="true" words="stopwords.txt" enablePositionIncrements="true"/> </analyzer> <analyzer type="query"> <tokenizer class="solr.StandardTokenizerFactory"/> <filter class="solr.StandardFilterFactory"/> <filter class="solr.CommonGramsQueryFilterFactory" ignoreCase="true" words="stopwords.txt"/> <filter class="solr.StopFilterFactory" ignoreCase="true" words="stopwords.txt" enablePositionIncrements="true"/> </analyzer> </fieldType>
It looks like our problem could be due to
Analyzer.reusableTokenStream and how it reuses tokenstreams from
a thread local variable. This would explain the random behavior
(i.e. depending on the thread one was assigned for a query, the
associated token stream, if it were in an invalid state, would
return incorrect results). I'm thinking reusableTokenStream can
be overridden to return a new token stream each time? And so
bypass whatever reseting issue is occurring from the mixture of
the old and new tokenizer APIs.
Jason, at a quick look, I see that this filter maintains state, but doesn't implement reset() - could that be the issue?
just my opinion, do not think this problem is due to mixed tokenizer APIs (
this is because this BufferedTokenStream does not mix the apis that cause that issue... it only uses TokenStream.next()
i think instead Yonik might be on the right track, could be wrong.
In my opinion, the problem is BufferedTokenStream (should its name not BufferedTokenFilter?). It has the linked list but does not implement reset(). So the problem is not this issue, more the usage of reset because you reuse the token stream. As long as BufferedTokenStream is not fixed to support reset() you have to create new instances.
Uwe, i opened an issue for this:
i think even if not the cause of this problem, BufferedTokenStream should implement reset() since it keeps internal state.
similar to the BufferedTokenStream reset, the CommonGramsQueryFilter here has its own internal state:
private Token prev;
so this filter too should implement reset (and must call super.reset() so the BufferedTokenStream lists get reset too).
Interesting, the whole reusableTokenStream model is new to me,
so it wasn't in my mental view of how Lucene analyzers work. It
seems if BTS is caching tokens, then being reused, and isn't
reset, then there would be excess tokens instead of deletions?
Or perhaps the reset is being called from another analyzer? It's
quite confusing. I started work on a LoggingTokenizer that could
be inserted between tokenizers in the Solr schema, however have
been working on reproducing the issue (which hasn't worked
Uwe, Yonik, and Robert, thanks for taking a look!
It seems if BTS is caching tokens, then being reused, and isn't
reset, then there would be excess tokens instead of deletions?
right, thats what the test case I added for BufferedTokenStream showed.
this would be more of a corner case, as i think most BufferedTokenStreams would have empty lists anyway
by the time they are reset(), so its likely not causing your problem (though it should be fixed!)
your problem, again is probably the internal state kept in CommonGramsQueryFilter
as you can see, CommonGramsQueryFilter has hairy logic involving the buffered token 'prev'
a lot of this logic has to do with what happens at end of stream.
unfortunately there is no reset() for CommonGramsQueryFilter to set 'prev' back to its initial state, so when something like QueryParser tries to reuse it, it is probably not behaving correctly.
I guess if something causes an exception during analysis, things like BufferedTokenStream can be left with unwanted state.
Note that BufferedTokenStream didn't inherit from TokenFilter and thus wouldn't automatically chain the reset() to it's input... so any upstream filters wouldn't be reset(). I just fixed that.
Added reset overrides to CommonGramsFilter and CommonGramsQueryFilter.
jason, i took a glance. i think the reset() for CommonGramsQueryFilter should not set prev = null
this is because the initial state is not null:
in the ctor, prev = new Token()
with the current logic, this is what reset() must do also.
also, fyi CommonGramsFilter does not need a reset since the stringbuffer isn't used to keep state,
the best way I think to ensure its correct i think, is to add tests that consume and reuse/reset()
Robert thanks. I added the new token in CGQF.reset and reset test cases.
I've updated the lucene libs to rc5 in trunk - hopefully that, coupled with the recent changes to this patch will eliminate the flakiness.
Yeah, unfortunately it's going to be hard to upgrade as folks
feel a bit burned at this point and reverting to Solr trunk 8/31
plus the old HTMLStripReader which seems to be more stable than
the latest Solr builds. I need to reproduce our wacky crazy
random query truncations, and haven't yet. I'll probably try
creating completely randomized queries in multiple threads and
see what happens. Without reproducing the problem and showing it
fixed, upgrading will be difficult to justify. Logically the
threadlocal reusableTokenStream is the problem, however,
perception is things got way too broken.
Also I need to upgrade the patch to use the new tokenizing API.
I think this belongs in Lucene analyzers rather than in Solr
anyways, and BufferedTokenStream totally changes with the new
tokenizing API. Hacking ShingleFilter to only include certain
words seemed like too much of a rewrite of it. So porting is the
next task here after hopefully reproducing.
Thanks everyone on this, we deployed the latest patch with the latest Solr build and things work now, reliably.
Yay! I think we could commit this now... any objections/concerns with the latest patch?
Yay! I think we could commit this now... any objections/concerns with the latest patch?
Looks good. +1 for commit.
i've been doing some tests, latest patch has been working fine for me.
i think jason cleared up any remaining reset/reusable issues with this latest patch.

Apple unveils new iOS, home app and new security features at World Developer Conference
Apple sees a Star Trek future where we speak out loud to computers and home appliances instead of looking at a screen or tapping on a button.
The tech giant has unveiled new ambitions to expand voice control into computers and let other companies use its Siri technology to build voice control systems of their own.
Instead of manually adjusting settings on cookers or turning on kettles, we will tell them what to do individually or through a centralised home system that controls all of our appliances.
And Apple has moved to deal with fears that such integrated systems could heighten the damage caused by a hacking attack, with new measures to beef up security on Apple devices.
In front of 5,000 computer developers at its annual Worldwide Developer Conference in San Francisco, chief executive Tim Cook also outlined a vision for more artificial intelligence in phones, computers and apps.
Siri voice control is being added to Mac computers and opened up to anyone who wants to incorporate the technology within their own products.
And a new 'Home' app on the iPhone will appear to control appliances within ordinary households, including washing machines and dishwashers.
"At Apple we believe that technology should lift humanity," said Mr Cook. "Whether it's on the wrist or in the living room, on the desk or in the palm of the hand or even automating your home. This is a huge moment for us."
The company will introduce an updated operating system for the iPhone in the Autumn which promises to bring many of the new features to our iPhones, iPads and Mac computers.
Other new features announced include transcription of voice messages into text so users don't have to call their voice mail. And a new SOS button on the Apple Watch will call emergency services and notify family members with a location map if someone is in trouble.
Meanwhile, the iPhone will no longer have to be unlocked to respond to messages and photo notifications.
However, Apple says that Ireland must wait to see Apple Pay introduced. The system, which allows iPhone and Apple Watch users to pay for things in shops by swiping their device against a contactless card machine, is already available in Britain and Northern Ireland.
Apple is also changing the look and feel of its Apple Music service, which now has 15m paying subscribers.
Meanwhile, the company has changed so the name of its Mac OS X operating system to Mac OS.
Earlier this year, Microsoft introduced new technology that aims to imbue more robots and online systems with artificial intelligence to serve customers and control interactions with people.

Snap Judgments from the Week 11 late slate. For more, check out early Snaps, midday Snaps, our recaps of Texas A&M-Alabama and Kansas State-TCU and our complete Top 25 review.
• No. 5 Georgia 38, Auburn 0. Aaron Murray constructed four touchdown drives on Georgia's first four possessions in Auburn tonight, first throwing three scoring passes to three different receivers, then handing off to Todd Gurley for a rushing touchdown late in the second quarter. Murray finished 18-of-24 with 208 yards and three touchdowns. (You're not hallucinating, watching replays of that third touchdown pass: Tavarres King played wearing No. 15 tonight to honor injured teammate Marlon Brown.) A breakaway 62-yard run by the other half of the Dawgs' freshman tailback tandem, Keith Marshall, marked Georgia's last score late in the third quarter. Gurley and Marshall combined for 19 carries totaling 221 yards.
On a Saturday that saw two of the six undefeated FBS teams fall (so far, that is -- Oregon and Cal are tied 7-7 as we're writing this), the one one-loss team in the AP top five sealed its regular-season conference fate. Georgia is your 2012 SEC East champion and will make a second consecutive trip to the Georgia Dome in December, presumably to face Alabama out of the West. Until then, the Dawgs are finished with SEC play, hosting Georgia Southern next week and Georgia Tech the week after that. Auburn, too, will stay in-state, getting Alabama A&M at home in Week 12 and (presumably!) providing a second division title-clinching game at Alabama in the Iron Bowl.
Said Murray in his postgame remarks: " Like I've been saying all year, you just never know who's going to win." That may not be entirely true today, but it's a nice sentiment. [BOX | RECAP]
• No. 3 Kansas State 23, TCU 10. Collin Klein was back in action and operational for the Wildcats, and Thayer Evans was there to see the 'Cats snap TCU's three-game winning streak against teams ranked in the top five. Click over to SI.com for his report from Fort Worth. [BOX | RECAP]
• No. 4 Notre Dame 21, Boston College 6. Everett Golson accounted for all Notre Dame points this evening, throwing touchdown passes of seven and 18 yards to Troy Niklas and John Goodmn and rushing for a two-yard touchdown himself. Theo Riddick added 105 rushing yards on 18 carries. [BOX | RECAP]
• No. 9 LSU 37, No. 22 Mississippi State 17. The Bayou Bengals saved the most impressive score of the evening for last, with a 100-yard interception return from Craig Loston. We also got Les Miles eating grass on camera again. Sports! [BOX | RECAP]
• No. 19 Louisiana Tech 62, Texas State 55. As is customary by now when it comes to Louisiana Tech, we're going to just get right to the part where we list a whole bunch of numbers and records. Ready? Yards gained: 632. Yards allowed: 568. First downs, combined: 70. Oh, and after AJ McCarron's pick against Texas A&M earlier, Colby Cameron is the last FBS quarterback not to throw an interception in the 2012 regular season. Cameron also broke Russell Wilson's NCAA record for pass attempts without an interception with his 380th, and then blew right by it, finishing the night at 419. Kenneth Dixon broke the NCAA record for single-season rushing touchdowns by a freshman, a mark previously held by Ryan Williams and Marshall Faulk. With four scores tonight Dixon stands at 24 for the season. His accumulated points moved him to 150 for the year, breaking the NCAA single-season freshman scoring record, also previously held by Faulk. [BOX | RECAP]UCF 31, UTEP 24.

The group of the Glossarium Mediae Latinitatis Cataloniae (GMLC), based at the Milà i Fontanals Institution of the CSIC, began in the 1950's, using the Latin documentation of the lands corresponding to the linguistic domain of Catalan between the IXth and XIIth centuries to edit this lexicographical work. In September 2012, we began the process of digital editing in XML-TEI and is nowadays well concerned with markup practices in lexical resources and digital structuring in order to collectively optimize this line of work. The team is also working in a lexical database known as CODOLCAT (Corpus Documentale Latinum Cataloniae), which can be consulted by all those interested in the Early Middle Ages. CODOLCAT provides direct access to the texts written in Latin in Catalonia in the early mediaeval period.

Title: Sergio Mendes Makes Pinoys Swoon
Written by Jamie Ortega
Photos by Ferdie Arquero
In the frenetic, fast-paced world that we live in, isn't it nice to listen to music that invigorates the soul and relaxes the mind? That's what bossa nova does to me. I grew up listening to Brazilian jazz legend Sergio Mendes for as long as I can remember, thanks in part to my dad who would pop in Sergio cassette tapes whenever we would go on multiple hour road trips.
As I grew older, I learned to appreciate the smooth, cool rhythms of jazz for myself, especially after a long day at work. There's something about Sergio Mendes easy-listening style and contemporary soft pop melodies that can only be described as swoon worthy. One song can easily conjure up memories of romantic trysts like candle light dinners or walks by the beach.
Another great thing about Sergio Mendes is the fact that, unlike other veteran musicians who stubbornly stick to their sound, Sergio has learned to modernize his music. One big proof of this was his 2006 album Timeless. The said compilation featured Sergio's collaboration with Black Eyed Peas' will. I. am, an album which successfully introduced a new generation of fans to Mendes' unique and captivating blend of Brazilian and jazz sounds.
That's exactly what I saw at his concert last April 24 at the Araneta Coliseum- a lively coming together of old and new Sergio Mendes supporters. Dubbed as Sergio Mendes & Brasil 2012 Live In Manila, the crowd was definitely wowed as the Latin performer performed bossa nova hits like The Look Of Love, Never Gonna Let You Go, Rainbow's End, The Trouble With Hello Is, and Night And Day, etc.
Sporting his suit and signature hat, Sergio kicked off the night by saying "Magandang gabi." There wasn't much interaction with the audience as Sergio and his band Brasil 2012 focused on delivering a superb performance. The crowd clearly didn't mind as they laughed, clapped, and even danced in their seats to the timeless hits. As a newly-converted Bossa Nova fan I really enjoyed the infusion of rap lyrics and hiphop beats performed by one member of Brasil 2012 named H20. He gave the songs a new flavor and communicated with the much-younger members of the audience.
Another part of the concert that truly delighted me was when another member of the band performed capoiera in between numbers. I found the swift gestures and rapid beats very cool. It brought a cultural element to the show and made me really feel like I was transported to Brazil. Because of all of these elements I was treated to a show unlike any other. As Sergio Mendes told the great Ricky Lo in his Philippine Star Fanfare column, Bossa Nova will never die. After his spectacular concert at Araneta, I know exactly why.
