Have you ever thought of how tools like
"http://checkstyle.sourceforge.net/">Checkstyle or
"http://findbugs.sourceforge.net/">FindBugs perform a static
code analysis, or how Integrated Development Environments (IDEs)
like NetBeans or "http://www.eclipse.org/">Eclipse execute quick code fixes or
find the exact references of a field declared in your code? In many
cases, IDEs have their own APIs to parse the source code and
generate a standard tree structure, called an Abstract Syntax
Tree (AST) or "parse tree," which can be used for deeper
analysis of the source elements. The good news is that it is now
possible to accomplish the said tasks plus a lot more with the help
of three new APIs introduced in Java as part of the Java Standard
Edition 6 release. The APIs that might be of interest to developers of Java
applications that need to perform source code analysis are the "http://www.jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=199">Java Compiler API
(JSR 199), the "http://www.jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=269">Pluggable Annotation
Processing API (JSR 269), and the "http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/jdk/api/javac/tree/index.html">Compiler
Tree API.
In this article, we explore the features of each of these APIs
and go on to develop a simple demo application that verifies
certain Java coding rules on a set of source code files supplied as
input. This utility also shows the coding violation messages as
well as the location of violated source code as output. Consider a
simple Java class that overrides the
equals() method
of the
Object class. The coding rule to be verified is
that every class that implements the
equals() method
should also override the
hashcode() method with the
proper signature. You can see that the
class below does not define the
hashcode() method,
even though it has the
equals() method.
public class TestClass implements Serializable {
int num;
public boolean equals(Object obj) {
if (this == obj)
return true;
if ((obj == null) || (obj.getClass() != this.getClass()))
return false;
TestClass test = (TestClass) obj;
return num == test.num;
Let us go on and analyze this class as part of the build process
with the help of these three APIs.
Invoking the Compiler from Code: The Java Compiler API
We all use the
javac command-line tool for
compiling Java source files to class files. Then why do we need an
API to compile Java files? Well, the answer is quite simple: as the
name describes, this new standard API lets us invoke the compiler
from our own Java applications; i.e., you can programmatically
interact with the compiler and thereby make compilation part of
application-level services. Some typical uses of this API are
listed below.
The compiler API helps application servers to minimize the time
taken to deploy applications, for example, by avoiding the overhead
of using an external compiler for compiling the servlet sources
generated from the JSP pages.
Developer tools like IDEs and code analyzers can invoke the
compiler from within the editor or build tools that significantly
reduce the compile time.
The Java compiler classes are packaged under the
javax.tools package. The
class of this package provides a method called
getSystemJavaCompiler() that returns an instance of
some class that implements the
JavaCompiler interface.
This compiler instance can be used to create a compilation task
that will perform the actual compilation. The Java source files to
be compiled will be then passed to the compilation task. For this,
the compiler API provides a file manager abstraction called
JavaFileManager, which allows Java files to be
retrieved from various sources, such as the file system, databases, memory, and so on. In this sample, we use
StandardFileManager, a
file manager based on
java.io.File. The standard file
manager can be acquired by calling the
getStandardFileManager() method of the
JavaCompiler instance. The code snippet for the
above-mentioned steps is shown below:
//Get an instance of java compiler
JavaCompiler compiler = ToolProvider.getSystemJavaCompiler();
//Get a new instance of the standard file manager implementation
StandardJavaFileManager fileManager = compiler.
getStandardFileManager(null, null, null);
// Get the list of java file objects, in this case we have only
// one file, TestClass.java
Iterable<? extends JavaFileObject> compilationUnits1 =
A diagnostic listener can be optionally passed to the
getStandardFileManager() method to produce diagnostic
reports of any non-fatal problems. In this code snippet, we pass
null values, since we are not collecting the
diagnostics from the tool. For details of the other parameters
passed to these methods, please refer to the "http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/tools/JavaCompiler.html">
Java 6 API. The
method of the
StandardJavaFileManager returns all the
JavaFileObject instances that correspond to the
supplied Java source files.
The next step is to create the Java compilation task, which can
be obtained using the
getTask() method of
JavaCompiler. At this point, the compilation
task has not yet started. The task can be triggered by invoking the
call() method of
CompilationTask. The
code fragment for creating and triggering a compilation task is
shown below.
// Create the compilation task
CompilationTask task = compiler.getTask(null, fileManager, null,
null, null, compilationUnits1);
// Perform the compilation task.
Assuming no compilation errors, this will generate the
TestClass.class file in the destination directory.
Annotation Processing: The Pluggable Annotation Processing
As we all know, Java SE 5.0 introduced support for adding and
processing metadata or annotations to elements like Java
classes, fields, methods, etc. Annotations are typically processed
by build tools or runtime environments to perform useful tasks like
controlling application behavior, generating code, and so on. Java
5 allows both compile-time and runtime processing of annotated
data. Annotation processors are utilities that can be
dynamically plugged into the compiler to analyze source files and
process annotations in them. Annotation processors can make the fullest
use of metadata information to perform many tasks, including but
not limited to the following.
Annotations can be used to generate deployment descriptor files
like persistence.xml or ejb-jar.xml, in the cases of
entity classes and enterprise beans, respectively.
Annotation processors can use metadata information to generate
code. For example, a processor can generate Home and Remote
interfaces of a properly annotated enterprise bean.
Annotations can be used to verify the validity of code or
deployment units.
Java 5.0 provided an Annotation Processing Tool (APT)
and an associated mirror-based reflection API
com.sun.mirror.*) for processing annotations and
modeling the processed information. The APT tool runs matching
annotation processors for the annotations present in the supplied
Java source files. The mirror API provides a compile-time, read-only
view of the source file. The main drawback of APT is that it is not
standardized; i.e., APT is specific to the Sun JDK.
Java SE 6 has introduced a new feature called the Pluggable
Annotation Processing framework, which provides standardized
support for writing customized annotation processors. It is called
"pluggable" because the annotation processor can be plugged into
javac dynamically and can operate on a set of
annotations that appears in the Java source file. This framework
has two parts: an API for declaring and interacting with annotation
processors -- the package
javax.annotation.processing --
and an API for modeling the Java programming language -- the package
Writing a Custom Annotation Processor
The following section explains how to write a custom annotation
processor and plug it into the compilation task. The custom
annotation processor extends
AbstractProcessor (which
is the default implementation of the
interface) and overrides the
process() method.
The annotation processor class will be decorated with two class-level annotations,
@SupportedAnnotationTypes and
@SupportedSourceVersion. The
SupportedSourceVersion annotation specifies the latest
source version the annotation processor supports. The
SupportedAnnotationTypes annotation denotes which
annotations this particular annotation processor is interested in.
For example,
is to be used if the processor only
needs to process Java Persistence API (JPA) annotations. It is
interesting to note that the annotation processor is invoked even
though no annotations are present if the supported annotation types
are specified as
@SupportedAnnotationTypes("*"). This
allows us to take advantage of the modelling API along with the
Tree API to do general purpose source code processing. Using these
APIs, it is possible to get a lot of useful information pertaining
to modifiers, fields, methods, and more. The code snippet of a
custom annotation processor is given below:
public class CodeAnalyzerProcessor extends AbstractProcessor {
public boolean process(Set<? extends TypeElement> annotations,
RoundEnvironment roundEnvironment) {
for (Element e : roundEnvironment.getRootElements()) {
System.out.println("Element is "+ e.getSimpleName());
// Add code here to analyze each root element
return true;
The annotation processors are invoked depending on what
annotations are present in the source code, which processors are
configured to be available, and what annotation types the available
processors process. Annotation processing may happen in multiple
rounds. For example, in the first round, the original input Java
source files will be processed; in the second round, the files
generated by the first round of processing will be considered, and
so on. The custom processor should override the
process() of
AbstractProcessor. This
method takes two arguments:
- A set of
TypeElements/annotations found in the
source file.
- The
RoundEnvironmentthat encapsulates information
about the current processing round of the annotation
If a processor claims the annotation types it supports, the
process() method returns
true and other
processors are not invoked for these annotations. Otherwise, the
process() method returns a
false value
and the next available processor will be invoked, if any.
Plugging In the Annotation Processor
Now that the custom annotation processor is ready to use, let's
see how we can invoke this processor as part of the compilation
process. The processor can be invoked either through
javac command-line utility or programmatically through
a standalone Java class. The
javac utility of Java SE
6 provides an option called
-processor that accepts
the fully qualified name of the custom annotation processor to be
plugged in. The syntax for this is as follows:
javac -processor demo.codeanalyzer.CodeAnalyzerProcessor TestClass.java
CodeAnalyzerProcessor is the annotation
processor class and
TestClass is the input Java file
to be processed. This utility searches for
CodeAnalyzerProcessor in the classpath; hence, it is
important to place this class in the classpath.
The modified code snippet for plugging in the processor
programmatically is shown below. The
method of the
CompilationTask allows multiple
annotation processors to be plugged into the compilation task. This
method needs to be called before the
call() method.
Also note that if an annotation processor is plugged into the
compilation task, the annotation processing happens first, and then only
the compilation task. Needless to say, annotation processing
will not happen if the code causes compilation errors.
CompilationTask task = compiler.getTask(null, fileManager, null,
null, null, compilationUnits1);
// Create a list to hold annotation processors
LinkedList<AbstractProcessor> processors = new LinkedList<AbstractProcessor>();
// Add an annotation processor to the list
processors.add(new CodeAnalyzerProcessor());
// Set the annotation processor to the compiler task
// Perform the compilation task.
If we execute the above code, it causes the annotation processor
to fire during the compilation of
printing the name "TestClass."
Accessing the Abstract Syntax Tree: The Compiler Tree API
The Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) is the read-only view of
the source that represents the Java code as a tree of nodes,
where each node represents a Java programming language construct
or Tree, and the children of each node signify
meaningful components of these trees. For example, a Java class is
represented as a
ClassTree, method declarations are
represented as
MethodTrees, variable declarations as
VariableTrees, annotations as
AnnotationTree and so on.
The Compiler Tree API provides access to the Abstract Syntax
Tree of Java source code and also provides some utilities like
TreeScanners, etc., for
performing operations on the AST. A deeper analysis of the source
content can be done using a
TreeVisitor, which visits
all child tree nodes to extract the required information about
fields, methods, annotations, and other class elements. The tree
visitors are implemented in the style of visitor design pattern.
When a visitor is passed to a tree's accept method, the
visitXYZ method most applicable to that tree is invoked.
The Java Compiler Tree API provides three implementations of
TreeVisitor; namely,
TreePathScanner, and
TreeScanner. The demo
application uses a
TreePathScanner to extract
information about the Java source file. The
TreePathScanner is a
TreeVisitor that
visits all the child tree nodes and provides support for
maintaining a path for the parent nodes. The
method of the
TreePathScanner needs to be invoked to
scan the tree. To visit nodes of a particular type, just override
the corresponding
visitXYZ method. Inside your visit
method, call
super.visitXYZ to visit descendant nodes.
The code snippet of a typical visitor class is shown below:
public class CodeAnalyzerTreeVisitor extends TreePathScanner<Object, Trees> {
public Object visitClass(ClassTree classTree, Trees trees) {
---- some code ----
return super.visitClass(classTree, trees);
public Object visitMethod(MethodTree methodTree, Trees trees) {
---- some code ----
return super.visitMethod(methodTree, trees);
You can see that the visit methods accepts two arguments: the
tree representing the node (
ClassTree for the class
MethodTree for the method node, etc.) and a
Trees object. The
Trees class provides
utility methods for fetching path information of elements in the
tree. It is important to note that the
Trees object
acts as a bridge between JSR 269 and the Compiler Tree API. In this
sample, there is only a single root element, which is
TestClass itself.
CodeAnalyzerTreeVisitor visitor = new CodeAnalyzerTreeVisitor();
public void init(ProcessingEnvironment pe) {
trees = Trees.instance(pe);
for (Element e : roundEnvironment.getRootElements()) {
TreePath tp = trees.getPath(e);
// invoke the scanner
visitor.scan(tp, trees);
The following section explains the retrieval of source code
information using Tree API and populates a common model used for code verification later. The
method is called whenever a class, interface, or enum type is
visited within the AST with
ClassTrees as the argument.
Similarly, the
visitMethod() method is called for all the
methods with
MethodTree as argument,
visitVariable() for all the variables with
VariableTree as the argument, and so on.
public Object visitClass(ClassTree classTree, Trees trees) {
//Storing the details of the visiting class into a model
JavaClassInfo clazzInfo = new JavaClassInfo();
// Get the current path of the node
TreePath path = getCurrentPath();
//Get the type element corresponding to the class
TypeElement e = (TypeElement) trees.getElement(path);
//Set qualified class name into model
//Set extending class info
//Set implementing interface details
for (TypeMirror mirror : e.getInterfaces()) {
return super.visitClass(classTree, trees);
JavaClassInfo used in this code snippet is the
custom model for storing information about the Java code. After
executing this code, information pertaining to the class like the
fully qualified class name, superclass name, interfaces implemented
TestClass, etc., are extracted and stored in our
custom model for future verification purposes.
Setting the Source Location
So far we have been busy obtaining the information about various
nodes of the AST and populating the model objects for class, method,
and field information. With this information, we can verify if the
source follows good programming practices, conforms to
specifications, and so on. This information can be quite useful to
verification tools like Checkstyle or FindBugs, but they might also
require the location details of the source token(s) that violates
the rule, so that they provide the error location details to
SourcePositions object, which is part of the
Compiler Tree API, maintains the positions of all the AST nodes
within the compilation unit tree. This object provides useful
information about start and end positions of a
FieldTree, etc., within the file. A position is
defined as a simple character offset from the start of a
CompilationUnit where the first character is at offset
0. The code snippet below shows how we can get the
character offset position of the passed
Tree object
from the start of the compilation unit.
public static LocationInfo getLocationInfo(Trees trees,
TreePath path, Tree tree) {
LocationInfo locationInfo = new LocationInfo();
SourcePositions sourcePosition = trees.getSourcePositions();
long startPosition = sourcePosition.
getStartPosition(path.getCompilationUnit(), tree);
locationInfo.setStartOffset((int) startPosition);
return locationInfo;
However, if we need to get the position of the token that gives
the name of the class or method itself, then this would not
suffice. To find the actual token positions within the source, one
option is to search for the tokens within the
char content of the
source files. We can get the
char content from the
JavaFileObject corresponding to the compilation unit
first as demonstrated below.
//Get the compilation unit tree from the tree path
CompilationUnitTree compileTree = treePath.getCompilationUnit();
//Get the java source file which is being processed
JavaFileObject file = compileTree.getSourceFile();
// Extract the char content of the file into a string
String javaFile = file.getCharContent(true).toString();
//Convert the java file content to a character buffer
CharBuffer charBuffer = CharBuffer.wrap (javaFile.toCharArray());
The following code snippet locates the position of the class
name token within the source. The
java.util.regex.Pattern and
java.util.regex.Matcher classes are used to obtain the
actual position of the class name token. The content of Java source
is converted to a character buffer using
java.nio.CharBuffer. The matcher searches for the
first occurrence of the token matching the class name in the
character buffer, starting from the start position of the class
tree within the compilation unit tree.
LocationInfo clazzNameLoc = (LocationInfo) clazzInfo.
int startIndex = clazzNameLoc.getStartOffset();
int endIndex = -1;
if (startIndex >= 0) {
String strToSearch = buffer.subSequence(startIndex,
Pattern p = Pattern.compile(clazzName);
Matcher matcher = p.matcher(strToSearch);
startIndex = matcher.start() + startIndex;
endIndex = startIndex + clazzName.length();
LineMap class of the Complier Tree API provides
a map of character positions and line numbers within the
CompilationUnitTree. We can get the line number of the
concerned token by passing the start offset position to the
getLineMap() method of the
Verifying the Source Against Rules
Now that we have successfully retrieved the required information
from the AST, the next task is to verify if the predefined coding
standard rules are satisfied by the sources under consideration.
The coding rules are configured in an XML file and are managed by a
custom class called
RuleEngine. This class fetches
rules from the XML file and fires them one by one. If a rule is
not satisfied by the class, it returns a list of
ErrorDescription objects. The
ErrorDescription object encapsulates the error
messages and the location of the error in the source code.
ClassFile clazzInfo = ClassModelMap.getInstance().
for (JavaCodeRule rule : getRules()) {
// apply rules one by one
Collection<ErrorDescription> problems = rule.execute(clazzInfo);
if (problems != null) {
Each rule is implemented as a Java class; the model information
of the class to be verified is passed on to this class. The rule
class encapsulates the logic to verify the rule logic using this
model information. The implementation of a sample rule
OverrideEqualsHashCode) is shown below. This rule
mandates that a class that overrides the
method should also override the
hashcode() method.
Here we iterate through the methods of the class and check if it
follows the
equals() and
contract. In
TestClass, the
method is absent while the
equals() method is present,
causing the rule to return the
ErrorDescription model
containing the appropriate error message and the location details
of the error.
public class OverrideEqualsHashCode extends JavaClassRule {
protected Collection<ErrorDescription> apply(ClassFile clazzInfo) {
boolean hasEquals = false;
boolean hasHashCode = false;
Location errorLoc = null;
for (Method method : clazzInfo.getMethods()) {
String methodName = method.getName();
ArrayList paramList = (ArrayList) method.getParameters();
if ("equals".equals(methodName) && paramList.size() == 1) {
if ("java.lang.Object".equals(paramList.get(0))) {
hasEquals = true;
errorLoc = method.getLocationInfo();
} else if ("hashCode".equals(methodName) &&
method.getParameters().size() == 0) {
hasHashCode = true;
if (hasEquals) {
if (hasHashCode) {
return null;
} else {
StringBuffer errrMsg = new StringBuffer();
errrMsg.append(" : The class that overrides
equals() should ");
errrMsg.append("override hashcode()");
Collection<ErrorDescription> errorList = new
return errorList;
return null;

This article discussed how the new Java 6 APIs can be utilized
to invoke the compiler from Java code and how to parse and analyze
source code using pluggable annotation processors and tree
visitors. Using standard Java APIs instead of IDE-specific
parsing/analyzing logic makes code reuse possible across different
tools and environments. We have only scratched the surface of the
three compiler-related APIs here; you can find many more useful
features by taking a deeper plunge into these APIs.

How can I access comments in the source code while visiting the AST?
My example:
public class Test {
public static String test() {
String res = "Result"; //this is line 1 of method test
res += " of test method"; /*this is line 2*/
return res; /**@line 3*/
All three examples (line 1, 2 and 3 of test()) can work, I need to access the comment, also the ability to modify it so I can write modified code onto another file.
The third one would be using javadoc, on the return tree I wish to access the javadoc and be able to collect the tag name (line) and the value associated (3) and then be able to modify the value.

Deepwater Drilling: Promoting a "Safety Culture"
Deepwater Drilling: Promoting a "Safety Culture"
Following the April 2010 Deepwater Horizon spill, numerous analysts and observers suggested that a stronger safety culture might have prevented the incident, and would reduce the likelihood of future spills. For example, following congressional hearings, Congressman Joe Barton (R-TX) stated "Our hearings discovered that significant cost-cutting measures resulted in decreased maintenance and inspections of the pipeline, and BP's management culture deterred individuals from raising safety concerns." The National Commission on the BP Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill and Offshore Drilling went even further, suggesting that "failures in risk management . . . place in doubt the safety culture of the entire industry." In their RFF paper, "Deepwater Drilling: Law, Policy, and Economics of Firm Organization and Safety," authors Mark A. Cohen, Madeline Gottlieb, Joshua Linn, and Nathan Richardson examine how inculcating a safety culture is a key element in avoiding accidents in high-risk industries such as aviation and offshore oil drilling.
Safety culture is defined as the set of values held by employees and the firm's policies that lead employees to prioritize health, safety, and the environment. Potentially, there are two reasons why oil-drilling firms may not choose the socially optimal level of safety culture. First, firms do not fully internalize the social costs of a spill, and second, "principal-agency" problems within the firm may cause incentives for adopting safety culture to be different for employees and owners of the firm. Using this framework, the authors find, current economic and policy incentives are insufficient for promoting safety culture. Policies should force internalization of spill costs and promote third-party monitoring to reduce principal-agency problems within the firm.
The authors assess five potential policy changes to incentivize stronger safety culture: raising liability caps; increasing financial responsibility requirements (that is, the assets a firm must have); requiring third-party insurance; increasing government oversight; and imposing risk-based fees.
Irrespective of other policy changes, they find that the Deepwater Horizon spill demonstrates a need for stronger government oversight. Recommendations that would improve safety culture for offshore drilling include:
- Raise the liability cap: Raise the liability cap to the level of social damages expected from the estimated worst-case spill for each well.
- Third-party insurance: Require third-party insurance to cover cleanup and containment costs as well as economic and natural resources damages associated with a spill.
- Financial responsibility requirements: If insurance is not feasible, firms should be required to display proof of financial responsibility equal to the maximum liability of the well, if not higher.
- Risk-based fees: Risk-based drilling fees should be used as part of an insurance pool, the Marine Well Containment Company, or in other contexts such as leasing and permitting.

You've seen them, no doubt: A big RV, either of the conventional sort or one of those big three-axle jobs built on a Kenworth or Freightliner chassis, dragging either an open or enclosed trailer carrying Harleys, ATVs, dirt bikes, personal watercraft or what have you. Not the most maneuverable or easily parked combination vehicle in the world, obviously. Is there a better way to get your playthings down the road?
The answer, finally, is yes. Monaco Coach this week introduced its new 2007 Safari Simba STS, the RV industry's very first Class A, diesel-powered "toy hauler" with a proper rear entrance and a dedicated stowage area for your big motorized goodies as well as two actual living areas.
Unveiled at Monaco's annual dealer meeting in Orlando, the Safari Simba STS features a rear-entry garage with stowage space for up to four full-dress touring motorcycles at once, with a stain-resistant floor and dual pull-down bunk beds. Ahead of a permanent divider wall is a conventional high-end living area with an 80-inch sleeper sofa, giving the rig a sleeping capacity of up to eight. Suggested retail is $142,301. Interested?

Riding with the Ram
Monaco Coach Corp. is a familiar name to anyone who's into recreational vehicles of just about any size you can imagine.
It's about to team up with another exalted brand, just announcing its agreement to produce Dodge-branded and –themed travel trailers, fifth-wheel trailers and "toy haulers," for collector cars and the like, with the new tag-alongs–traditionally, luxury coaches have been Monaco's core products–reaching the market in September.
The Monaco-Dodge deal has been inked for three years. The marketing strategy hinges on Dodge's traditional strength in the pickup market, built on its range of Rams with Hemi V-8 and turbocharged diesel power.
Monaco does have a current line of tow-along RVs; the best known is probably its Holiday Rambler line. Based in Coburg, Oregon, Monaco is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol MNC, and is additionally part of the Standard & Poor's Small Cap 600 stock index.

Research Area: Induced pluripotent stem cells as a model system to elucidate mechanism of Spinal Muscular Atrophy
I received my Bachelor of Science degree from St. Norbert College in 2008 and then began my career at the Medical College of Wisconsin working as a technician for two years. I entered the graduate school through the Interdisciplinary Program in Biomedical Sciences. I quickly decided my primary interests were in the fields of developmental and stem cell biology.
After four rotations, I joined the lab of Dr. Allison Ebert in the department of Cell Biology. Our lab studies neurodegenerative diseases such as Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) and Huntington's Disease. My project focuses on the involvement of Neuronal Apoptosis Inhibitor Protein (NAIP) in SMA. Specifically, the ways NAIP affects disease severity.

Wahhhh! Wahhhh! Wahhhh! Quick, someone call the wahhhmbulance!
Another "misunderstood" NRA member with a 45-caliber mouth and a 14-caliber brain comes shooting out of a barrel of ignorance, whining about my not understanding his side of the firearms debate.
But before I start slinging stones, let me first say on a very serious note that I am sickened and offended by Mr. Smith's vile statement that if someone with a gun were to enter my classroom, I would "use the children as shields."
If necessary, I would, like any other teacher in Los Alamos, throw myself in front of a volley rather than risk injury to any students. He knows absolutely nothing about teachers.
His idiotic statement is exactly what I would expect from a ditto-head who pridefully labels himself as a "pro-gunner pro-lifer."
Pro-gun pro-life? That's like saying pro-sewage pro-air freshener.
I must openly admit, however, that I would consider using Mr. Smith's head as a shield, if not for the fact that an empty shell provides no real defense against a bullet.
Look, I see nothing wrong with law abiding citizens owning firearms.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Reggie Wayne (87) hauls in this pass for a TD in second quarter action.
- Filed Under
No Indianapolis Colts comebacks at Houston this time, just a humbling trip home after a 34-24 season-opening loss to the Texans Sunday at Reliant Stadium.
Arian Foster scored his second and third TDs in a career day during the final quarter as the upstart division rival Texans wore down the defending AFC South champions.
It's just the second time in 17 divisional meetings the Texans have defeated the Colts. The other was 27-24 at Houston in 2006. ...

Star Features
A teacher with a special touch
Elgin Taylor, Star Writer
If aspirants to the teaching profession believe that it is all glitz and glamour, they would be surely mistaken. It is hard, dedicated work with unusual hours which cut into your weekends and time for socialisation. The job often requires going beyond the prescribed curriculum to include personality grooming.
This is the general picture painted by Dorothy Sutherland, a teacher at Ensom City Primary School in Spanish Town, St Catherine, in a recent interview with THE STAR.
"In preparing them (the students), it is like preparing the whole person. You have to prepare them mentally, emotionally and physically. You have to talk to them about nutrition, how to behave, how to manage their time effectively for work and play," she stated.
She also pointed out that the teacher needs to teach the students how to apply knowledge gained earlier to their present situation.
She informed THE STAR that she currently coaches members of the Junior Schools' Challenge Quiz team, and that normally sessions are held from morning to evening on most weekends. She reported that the team has been making steady progress.
In respect of her substantive grade-six class, the soft-spoken educator said her students have done well over the years. In the last Grade Six Achievement Test (GSAT) results, a number of them gained places at prominent traditional schools like Immaculate Conception High, Ardenne High, Wolmers, Jamaica College, Kingston College and St Jago High School.
Special touch
Part of Sutherland's success as a teacher is attributed to what her colleagues have come to regard as the 'special touch'.
"I have been told that I have this special touch. This is because of my ability to turn misbehaving, non-performing students into gentle, hard-working individuals. This usually comes as a surprise to my colleagues and the parents, who usually show their appreciation," she noted.
She spoke about the love and care for each student, and the fact that she starts each school day by having a brief talk session with them about the type of behaviour required for success, and how to study and manage their time. She also uses tokens and other forms of reward as a feature of her teaching strategy.
Legal-Aid secretary
But Sutherland's sojourn into the teaching profession nearly didn't happen, because, initially, she wanted to become a legal secretary. After completing her CXCs and GCE 'O' Levels exams, she worked in the private sector as a supervisor and quality controller at the Kingston Free Zone, and as a production clerk with Sherwin Williams Limited.
It was while teaching Sabbath School that a member suggested that, based on her ability, she should consider getting trained as a teacher. She took his advice and later attended Shortwood Teachers' College and Mico University College, gaining a diploma in primary education and a bachelor's degree in language and literacy respectively, from these institutions.
She taught at Half-Way Tree Primary School in 2001 before joining the staff at Ensom City Primary on September 1, 2002.
Her present class of 31 students is a mixed-ability grouping. She is, however, expecting great things from them at the next GSAT sitting.

ATLANTA -- On Thursday, several Gwinnett students and schools won't be walking away with Tonys for their stage presence -- they are taking home Shulers.
A Shuler Hensley Award to be exact.
Students from Buford High, Greater Atlanta Christian, Lambert High, Northview High and Wesleyan School are attending the fifth annual Georgia High School Musical Theater Awards at the Cobb Energy Centre for their work in theater on and off the stage.
The Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre Foundation has nominated people in the 16 categories, including overall production, director, choreography, scenic design, lighting design, sound design, technical execution, costume design, orchestra, musical direction, ensemble, leading actor and actress, supporting actor and actress, and featured performer. There are also several honoree mentions.
The ceremony will include performances from the six schools nominated for best overall production, leading actor and actress nominee medleys, plus there will be cameo appearances by Shuler Hensley.
Hensley has a long resume. He has appeared on Broadway as The Monster in "Young Frankenstein," Kerchak in "Tarzan," Jud Fry in "Oklahoma!" -- that earned him a Tony, Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle and Olivier awards -- and Javert in "Les Miserables," just to name a few.

LONDON: Philip Morris International Inc., the world's largest tobacco company, said it will buy back $18bn in stock over the next three years, Bloomberg reported on Wednesday.
The maker of Marlboro cigarettes said the new program will begin in August, following a previous three-year, $12bn repurchase plan that began in May 2010 and will end ahead of schedule. The New York-based company also set a quarterly dividend of 77 cents per share, it said in a statement.
The buyback is the equivalent of a 12 per cent stake, based on a market value of $145bn dollars, Bloomberg calculations show. Philip Morris reiterated a pledge to repurchase $6bn of stock this year.
"It's good news, better than expected, and underlines how strong PMI's cash generating ability is," Erik Bloomquist, an analyst at Bernenberg Bank, said in an e-mail.
Philip Morris, which was created in 2008 when Altria Group Inc. spun off its businesses outside the US, has boosted profit for 10 straight quarters as Chief Executive Officer Louis Camilleri has raised cigarette prices and boosted Marlboro sales in Asia and Latin America.
First-quarter profit rose 13 per cent to $2.16bn, Philip Morris said in April. The company raised ¤1.35bn ($1.7bn) of long-term debt with coupons of less than three per cent last month in the largest offering in the currency from a US-based company since May 2009, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

VINELink provides information regarding offenders who are currently in custody or who may have been recently released from custody.
If you do not find the person for whom you search, please call the facility where you believe the offender to be housed and inquire about the status of his/her custody.
VINE is available in 42 states through various different types of agreements. Even in statewide programs, not each and every county participates in the VINE program. Some counties do not have jail facilities and therefore do not report any information. In other states, individual counties support their own contract for VINE. If you do not see your county listed, then it is currently a non-participating county. Please contact your local jail for offender information.
VINE does not receive information regarding federal inmates. However, the Bureau of Prisons website, www.bop.gov, has an Inmate Locator that provides information on any Federal Inmate.
How frequently do you receive offender information?
Our standard transaction time is every 15 minutes for jails and twice each day for prisons. This may vary depending upon the jail activity and the resources the facility has on site to update the data. Most always, the data is current within 15 minutes.
However, if you have reason to believe the data is out of date, you should call the jail directly for an update and invoke your personal safety plan. Do not depend solely on VINE or any other program for your safety.
Is Charge and Warrant information available on VINELink?
VINE does not receive charge information from all facilities and therefore it is not always available to be displayed on VINELink. We recommend that you call the facility in which you believe the offender is housed and inquire about the charges for the offender.
VINE does not track outstanding warrants. However, Appriss, provider of the VINE service, is working directly with several states to provide VINE Protective Order, a product that allows PO petitioners to receive notification when the warrant is served.
Can you remove or change offender information on your website?
VINE Victim Information and Notification Everyday is funded and provided by local and state agencies for the purpose of notifying victims upon a change in their offenders custody status. We provide this service as a third party and do not have the ability to remove or alter offender data in the database.
Why did I not receive notification on my AOL address?
First, please verify that your email address is correctly registered with VINE for the inmate in which you are seeking notification.
Its possible that VINE email notifications could be perceived as spam by AOL. Please verify that your Mail Controls are not blocking VINEs email address or domain. The email notifications will come from email@example.com. You may also want to add this address to your address book to ensure that VINE mail is allowed to be delivered. Also, please check your spam folder to ensure your spam filters have not caught any mail incorrectly.
What is the Caller ID number and Sender Email address?
When you receive a notification from VINE, you will see the following telephone number on your caller ID: 502-213-2798. If you register for email notification, you will receive a message from the following email address:

Please provide the state in which the offender is housed, as well as the phone number that is being called.

Gulfstream News & Notes
Gulfstream News & Notes
Groupie Doll Arrives at Gulfstream to Ready for 2013 Campaign
Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Sprint (G1) winner Groupie Doll arrived by van at Gulfstream Park Saturday morning.
Scheduled to make her 2013 debut in the Inside Information (G2) at Gulfstream on March 17, Groupie Doll had been turned out for the past month at trainer Buff Bradley's Indian Ridge Farm in Frankfort, Ky. The 4-year-old daughter of Bowman's Band shared a paddock with Brass Hat, a retired 12-year-old gelding whom Bradley saddled for a Grade 1 victory in the 2006 Donn Handicap at Gulfstream.
"She's been out every day. I don't think she's lost a lot (of conditioning). Brass Hat keeps her going," Bradley said. "She'll probably gallop the month of January and start breezing in February."
Groupie Doll, who is the odds-on favorite to be named champion female sprinter at the Eclipse Awards ceremony at Gulfstream Park on Jan. 19, won three Grade 1 stakes in 2012 and had a five-race winning streak snapped in her final start of the year. Stay Thirsty just got up to nose her out in the Cigar Mile (G1) at Aqueduct on Nov. 24.
"It was another great race. I don't regret taking her up there," Bradley said. "She showed everyone then that she's one of the greatest."
Groupie Doll's 4 ½-length victory in the Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Sprint looked easy, but it was achieved on a track that favored speed, which presented a challenge for the late-running filly.
"You could see early on in the Breeders' Cup that she struggled a little bit because we knew we had to use her a little bit to have her stay up close and not let them get too far away," Bradley said. "Rajiv and I talked about it. I don't like to take a horse out of their running style, but we knew we were going to have to encourage her a little more earlier in the race."
Groupie Doll was bred by Bradley and his 81-year-old father, Fred, who is currently dealing with physical issues.
"I went home for four days for Christmas and had to put him in the hospital with congestive heart failure. They're draining the fluid; they're giving him Lasix actually to drain the fluid," Bradley said. "He should be doing better. It was tough to leave, but I had Groupie Doll coming in today.
Mucho Macho Man Works for Florida Sunshine Millions
Mucho Macho Man breezed half-mile at Gulfstream Saturday morning in preparation for a start in the $500,000 Florida Sunshine Millions Classic on Jan. 19. Exercise rider Nick Petro Jr. was aboard for the breeze, timed in :46 1/5 on splits of :11 2/5, :22 2/5 and :34 3/5 before galloping out in a minute.
"He went really good," said trainer Kathy Ritvo, whose soon-to-be 5-year-old was equipped with blinkers for the workout. "He likes to train. He's a horse that's happiest when he trains."
Mucho Macho Man, who defeated Ron the Greek to capture the Florida Sunshine Millions Classic last year, concluded a productive 2012 campaign with a close second-place finish behind Fort Larned in the $5 million Breeders' Cup Classic (G1) at Santa Anita on Nov. 3.
Gulfport Breezes for 2013 Debut
Dewey Square, a prominent candidate for the $400,000 Holy Bull (G3) at Gulfstream Park on Jan. 26, galloped instead of working Saturday morning, but trainer Dale Romans sent Gulfport to the track for a five-furlong breeze in preparation for his 2013 debut next Saturday.
The son of Unbridled's Song, who is scheduled to run in the $200,000 Jerome (G2) at Aqueduct, was timed in :58 2/5 seconds before galloping out six furlongs in 1:12 2/5 under jockey Corey Lanerie.
"He continues to impove. He's a very classy horse with a class pedigree. He has the looks and the natural talent, and he's just gotten better," said Romans, whose colt won his final two starts of the 2012 campaign at Churchill Downs. "Today's work is about as good as it gets."
The Ken McPeek-trained Frac Daddy breezed an easy half-mile in :49 3/5. Goals for the son of Scat Daddy include the $400,000 Fountain of Youth (G2) on Feb 23 and $1 million Florida Derby (G1) on March 30.

DES MOINES, Iowa – (Feb. 13, 2014) – MidAmerican Energy Company's business customers have ranked the company highest in customer satisfaction in the Midwest Region-Large Segment in the latest J.D. Power study.
This week, J.D. Power announced the results of its 2014 Electric Utility Business Customer Satisfaction Study
, and MidAmerican Energy ranked highest in its segment for overall customer satisfaction among business customers. Overall customer satisfaction is measured by examining six factors: power quality and reliability; billing and payment; corporate citizenship; price; communications; and customer service.
"Customer service is one of MidAmerican Energy's core principles, along with operational excellence, regulatory integrity, employee commitment, environmental respect and financial strength," said Terry Ousley, vice president of customer service, MidAmerican Energy. "We are excited to hear that our continued focus on customer satisfaction has resulted in a high ranking by our business customers."
The J.D. Power study evaluated more than 90 U.S. utilities serving nearly 12 million business customers for overall customer satisfaction.
"The company's ongoing commitment to meet and exceed customers' needs and expectations is demonstrated by the work of its employees," Ousley said. "Every day, we remain committed to continuously improving the service we provide to our customers."
The study is based on interviews with representatives of more than 25,000 U.S. businesses that spend at least $250 a month on electricity. Within each geographic region included in the study, utility providers are classified into two segments: the large segment, which serves 85,000 or more business customers and includes MidAmerican Energy, and the midsize segment, which serves between 25,000 and 84,999 business customers.
MidAmerican Energy Company, Iowa's largest energy company, provides electric service to 734,000 customers and natural gas service to 714,000 customers in Iowa, Illinois, Nebraska and South Dakota. It is headquartered in Des Moines, Iowa. Information about MidAmerican Energy is available on the company's website, Twitter, Facebook and YouTube pages, which can be accessed via

I was born in 1997 and raised in Livermore, California, where my parents moved after growing up in Pleasanton, CA. Being a very energetic young kid, I tried many sports that my parents introduced me to. I tried countless sports, but nothing ever really clicked. But when I turned 8 in 2005, I discovered the obscure world of climbing, and I fell in love. Soon after my first experience of climbing, I bought my first pair of Five Ten shoes, and entered my first competition. Since then, I took home many first place titles, including my first National Champion title in 2011 which changed my view on climbing completely. I discovered the power of hard work, and set off to train and step up my game. However, it isn't always about the competitions, and to me the best part of climbing is the simple beauty of it. Climbing on real rock and finding that perfect line that you just to do is simlpy indescribable. Although there are some set-backs that we have to get through, but the most important thing is to keep a focused mind, and a positive attitude, so nothing matters but finishing that line and the experience of doing it.

Independent Sales Representative question regarding Exclusive Territory
Get new comments by email

Bri in Montreal, Quebec

Hi Everyone,
My company is currently looking for sales agents but we do not want to give them exclusive territory. Reason being, a potential market place interested in our product may have a few thousand people but if that one Agent has that exclusive territory he/she may only be dealing with only 50 customers. How did you deal with this issue? Are there any solutions for this?

I recently started in a new sales position. I am new to this particular industry as well as sales in general. I have a question about commission guarentees / the commission ramp up period. What is the typical procedure for a commission ramp up period. Should I be getting some sort of commission guarentee for a specific period of time until I get the hang of things?
Dan in Port Isabel, Texas

Answers to both questions:
Exclusive Territory - that used to be the norm but in the last 3 years exclusive "protected" territory has faded away due to market conditions. Most companies/reps want a "territory" and that is either based on geography or vertical market. What works best is that you protect them on the accounts they sell and incentivize them with perks or spiffs for new accounts.
Commission Guarantees - most will not pay this because then it is like a salary and go against the independent contractor relationship and commissions. What you may be able to do is ask for perks or "spiffs" for new account openings, sales benchmarks met etc. I have a number of manufacturers that offer us a one-time cash spiff for every new account we open and that helps offset the ever-rising cost of road expenses.

If you do not want to give exclusive territory then you have to structure base+ commission which guarantee the sales person a reward of his efforts and the expense he is doing to promote your sales. I am looking for that kind of opportunity.

When notorious outlaw Ben Wade (Russell Crowe), a ruthless robber with a quick shooting policy, is captured while celebrating his latest job, penniless rancher Dan Evans (Christian Bale) enlists in the posse escorting him to the nearby town of Contention, from where the 3:10 train to Yuma prison will arrive. But with the outlaw's own crew (led by the psychotic Ben Foster) in hot pursuit, the posse's prospects of surviving the journey grow shorter by the minute. Check out photos from 3:10 To Yuma...

Halliburton's Wireline and Perforating product service line (PSL) uses electronic tools and computerized surface systems at the wellsite to record and analyze geological and geophysical formations. Its services also include "perforating," which is the use of explosives to provide maximum well and reservoir productivity. Wireline and perforating services help reduce the risks that customers face at the well and also minimize nonproductive time at the well.
Wireline and Perforating Field Engineers use electronic tools and computerized surface systems at the wellsite to perform openhole, borehole seismic, and cased-hole logging to record and analyze subsurface formations in oil and gas wells. They also perform perforating services to facilitate the flow of oil and gas from the well.
During openhole logging, field engineers use electronic imaging tools (such as nuclear, 3-D, seismic and gamma ray) to measure the downhole formation's viscosity, density, resistivity, permeability and anisotropy, and the well's fluids (water and hydrocarbons). Sensor readings travel up an electric wireline and produce a log (similar to what a medical EKG reading looks like). The engineer analyzes the log to determine if oil and gas are present and, if so, how much and if it can be produced economically.
After openhole field engineers determine that the well can produce oil and gas, the hole is cased and cemented in place so that cased-hole logging services can be performed. Cased-hole field engineers inspect the cement casing with acoustic tools, electromechanical tools and video to help ensure that the well will produce oil and gas at optimum levels.
Cased-hole field engineers also perform perforating services, which is the process of using explosive charges to make holes in the casing to provide connectivity between the hydrocarbon bearing reservoir and the wellbore, thereby allowing oil or gas to flow to the surface. Perforating is accomplished by using a perforating gun - loaded with shaped charges - that is lowered into the well and electronically fired from the surface.
Borehole Seismic engineers are a specialty group who work in both openhole and cased hole environments providing data to bridge the gap between surface seismic and the wellbore with customized reliable high-resolution borehole seismic images to improve reservoir analysis using industry leading borehole seismic energy source & downhole array technologies.
The first year
Wireline and Perforating Field Engineers actually spend the first 8-10 months of their careers receiving a combination of classroom and on-the-job training. At our training center in Fort Worth, Texas, you'll learn everything from "Oilfield 101" to equipment theory and practical applications. You'll work a 24-hour, on-call schedule while in training and also after your training is complete.
While you are training in the field, a mentor – typically, an experienced engineer – will provide you with guidance on how to perform tasks critical to your job, including:
The objective of the training you receive is to learn and master the skills of an equipment operator and to begin functioning as the "second engineer" on wellsite jobs.
Depending on your career path, you will learn and become proficient in openhole, cased-hole or perforating services.
After training
Once your training is complete, you will be a lead engineer, managing a crew of two to three equipment operators, and conquering new challenges each day.
You'll typically work seven days on call, with three days off. While on call, it is not uncommon to spend one or two nights away from home.
Due to the nature of the job, you will spend the majority of your time outdoors at the rigsite, working in sometimes extreme weather conditions for extended hours.
Work locations are subject to change, depending on our customers' needs.
Halliburton currently has opportunities for Wireline and Perforating Field Engineers in the following locations:
