We're the first customers through the door of the dockside fish shop and the ocean's bounty of seafood is staring us in the face with its customary dead-eyed gaze.
There are salmon and swordfish steaks, cases of ice-covered whiting and flathead, trays of oysters and squid and a plateful of ambiguously labelled 'mixed coral fillets'. Peering studiously into these display cabinets is former fishing industry executive turned sustainable seafood expert Colin Hunt and two fish in particular are causing his curiosity to twitch like an angler's float.
The first is a display of filleted Atlantic salmon from Australia, which we're told by the shop assistant is "definitely wild caught" - yet Hunt knows this fish is always farmed.
Another tray of fillets is labelled 'coral bream', a species that Hunt, despite decades of experience working and researching in the fishing industry, has never heard of.
In an effort to clear up the confusion, a supervisor in a white smock and gumboots emerges clutching a 60cm-long unfilleted version. "It's just bream,'' he says, "I think it's caught up in the Barrier Reef".
If the fish was indeed bream, then the Australian Marine Conservation Society (AMCS) considers this to be a relatively sustainable choice. But according to the seafood industry-backed Approved Fish Names initiative (to which this shop is a signatory) the name coral bream is obsolete and shouldn't be used. The initiative's database reveals seabream (Gymnocranius & Monotaxis spp) and grass emperor (Lethrinus laticaudis) have both been sold as coral bream in the recent past, making it hard for consumers to know for sure what they're buying.
Confused? So were we. The true origin of that glistening silver fish remains in doubt.
Later that same morning, we toured seafood shops and supermarkets (where about 60 per cent of Australian seafood is bought) in the Brisbane area. When we asked about the origins of the cod on the menu of a fish and chip shop, staff could only confirm it had come from a box in the freezer.
Our mini-tour of fish purveyors revealed two inescapable truths. Buying fish is easy, but buying sustainable fish is whole different kettle of, er, fish.
Empty oceans?
Fish and seafood is now the only food consumed on a large scale by the world's population that is essentially hunted in the wild. The environmental impacts of catching that seafood are as diverse and interdependent as the life in the oceans themselves, and as a result questions abound. Is your prospective meal from a sustainably managed fishery? Are you about to eat a fish that's being over-exploited or, worse still, is an endangered species? Were any other animals like seals, sea lions, sharks, dolphins, whales or sea birds sacrificed in the process? (This is known as bycatch.) Is the fish being imported and, if so, from where?
"For the consumer it's tough...very tough,'' says Hunt, a former visiting fellow in the University of Queensland School of Economics who has just finished reviewing hundreds of reports and research papers to provide the backbone of a new version of AMCS's Sustainable Seafood Guide. "If you want to know if it's wild caught or aquaculture or if it's from Australia, then labelling becomes very important.''
Around the world, consumers began waking up to the sustainable seafood quandary after research papers warned fish stocks were collapsing at alarming rates. The most controversial finding of all came in 2006 from a study led by Canadian scientist Boris Worm, which predicted the world's entire fish stocks could collapse by 2048.
Published in the prestigious journal Science, the paper concluded: "Our analyses suggest that business as usual would foreshadow serious threats to global food security, coastal water quality, and ecosystem stability, affecting current and future generations.''
More recently, the idea of an impending global collapse of seafood stocks was examined to even more dramatic effect and communicated to a wider audience in the award-winning documentary film The End of the Line.
So, are we headed for a future in which seafood has become so rare that it's a luxury only the very wealthiest will be able to afford?
"It is true that there are ongoing concerns about fisheries and how they're managed globally and there is no cause for complacency," says senior CSIRO fisheries scientist Tony Smith. "But the idea that we would fish out the oceans and there would be nothing left I don't think was very credible.''
Since Worm's apocalyptic prediction, Smith has led another team to update the research and these new findings paint a more hopeful picture of the world's oceans. After examining 10 ecosystems including the north west and south east of Australia, researchers found that in half of them, fishing rates had dropped. However it's not all good news. "Sixty three per cent of assessed fish stocks worldwide still require rebuilding," the research concluded, "and even lower exploitation rates are needed to reverse the collapse of vulnerable species."
The ocean has been historically described as bountiful, but research from the likes of Worm suggest there's a long way to go if we're to avoid turning that abundance into a largely empty fish tank.

text: It is missing some functionality 2 The iPad does not slip all the way into the sleeve like it is supposed to. I continually have to push in the iPad (from left to right in portrait mode) to make it snug. Otherwise the left border of the screen is uncomfortable to use. When i close the cover it only locks the screen sometimes; usually unsuccessful after i attempt using it in the typing or keyboard-mode. The folio does not like to stay in the keyboard setting, it resists staying there, if that makes any sense... The cover stays deformed for a few hours after changing positions unless you flatten it out after every time you change the viewing position, unless of course you use the strap every time to close it, but using the strap every time i want to open and close the iPad during lectures is a little inconvenient. I own at least 5 Case Logic products right now, not to mention how many i've owned in the past, this product does not measure up to their reputation. Grad student Southern California 2013-03-11

Did you hear about the time the Rainbow Warrior sailed herself through a French military blockade, with no captain in sight?
It was 1995, just ten years after French secret agents sunk Greenpeace's first Rainbow Warrior. Greenpeace activists set off on the Rainbow Warrior to disrupt the French nuclear tests, this time under Jacques Chirac.
Putting your body in the way of injustice on the high seas requires not only guts of course, but also expert and committed sailors, and a ship that's up to the task.

First published on April 24, 2011. Revised and expanded in early 2012.
The San Fernando Valley is 260 square miles of suburbia. Actually, make that suburbia on nutritional supplements. And antidepressants. With perhaps a little cosmetic surgery south of Ventura Boulevard, where the big money is. Or maybe -- now that it's grown to more than 1.7 million people in nearly three dozen cities and neighborhoods rich and poor – the Valley isn't even a suburb anymore.
It begins just 10 miles northwest of Los Angeles City Hall, sprawling west to the Simi Hills, north to the Santa Susana Mountains and east to the Verdugo and San Gabriel mountains. Yet when you ask the natives what there is to do besides Universal Studios, you may hear a long pause.
Don't worry. They just take the area for granted, and they know it will never replace the beaches on tourist itineraries. But once their lips are loosened, most locals can tell you plenty. The Valley is the home of the oldest Bob's Big Boy diner and perhaps the only porn-star karaoke night in North America. (After all, the Valley is widely known as the nation's porn production capital.) This is where Bob Hope and Ritchie Valens rest in peace, where "Friends" was shot, where Disney makes movies (but doesn't give tours), where the ageless phrase "gag me with a spoon" was born, and where the papa of Patagonia honed his climbing skills.
1. Driving on the Edge and Hiking
Mulholland Drive wriggles for about 20 miles along the ridgelines of the Hollywood Hills and Santa Monica Mountains, marking the border between the Los Angeles basin and the Valley, its two lanes passing palatial homes and big views. In "The San Fernando Valley: America's Suburb," author Kevin Roderick writes that he likes to introduce visitors with a drive here, preferably "on a sparkling winter morning, with a chilly north wind gusting down from the San Gabriels to keep the sky clean." Wind or no wind, you should start near dawn or dusk at the drive's east end at Cahuenga Boulevard (near the 101 Freeway). From here, you can almost (but not quite) see the fictional home of fictional detective Harry Bosch, which author Michael Connelly describes as a stilted refuge off Woodrow Wilson Drive. A few hairpin turns later, you reach the Hollywood Bowl overlook. Farther west, you'll find the headquarters of the nonprofit group Tree People (Coldwater Canyon Park, 12601 Mulholland Drive, Beverly Hills; www.treepeople.org) in an area that includes great views and several hillside hiking trails. You could keep driving west for miles past the homes of the rich and famous, but why not do something healthier? Park in TreePeople's main lot at Coldwater North and Mullholland, and hike the Betty B. Dearing Trail. Dropping to the valley floor and then climbing again, the trail traces a three-mile loop through Coldwater Canyon and Wilacre parks. TreePeople park operations director Jim Hardie suggests you keep an eye out for poison oak and the occasional rattlesnake -- but then again, you also might encounter Paul McCartney (a repeat hiker here) or actor-activist Ed Begley Jr. (a frequent biker).
2. Universal Studios
The Universal Studios people (Universal Studios Hollywood, 100 Universal City Plaza, Universal City; www.universalstudioshollywood.com ) would like you to believe they're in Hollywood, but you have a map, so you know better. Like the Disney and Warner Bros. studios, they're in the Valley. If you go whole hog at Universal, you'll pay about as much here as you will at Disneyland. (But for the $77 that a one-day pass costs, you get can an annual pass that gets you in free all year, although with many blackout dates. For more dough, you can upgrade to a pass with no blackout dates.) For that you get a 45-minute tram tour of the studios, along with a passel of theme-park rides and attractions. Arrive before temperatures rise and lines lengthen, do the studio tram ride first, and try to imagine these hills in 1915. That's when founder Carl Laemmle started charging gawkers 25 cents a day to watch moviemaking on the site of an old chicken ranch. After many expansions (and a four-acre fire on the lot in 2008), the territory is 415 acres, and the tour includes fleeting glimpses of productions in progress and a series of staged scenes, including a King Kong 360 3-D encounter, an earthquake in a subway station, a leaping "Jaws" shark, the old "Psycho" motel and mansion, a "Fast and Furious" car that belches flames, and a gaggle of spittle-flinging "Jurassic Park" dinosaurs. Wipe yourself dry and head next for the Simpsons Ride (a.k.a. Krustyland), a fake roller-coaster ride that will likely have your 7-year-old in stitches and you fighting off nausea. Other attractions are drawn from "Shrek," "The Terminator," "WaterWorld" and "The Blues Brothers." If you have little kids, the water features, ball room and playground of the Curious George area are sure winners, and roaming characters such as Dora the Explorer and SpongeBob SquarePants turn up left and right.
3. The Walk, Beverly and Vivian
You don't need to pay admission to visit Universal CityWalk (100 Universal City Plaza, Universal City; www.citywalkhollywood.com), an entertainment district adjacent to the theme park, with 19 movie theaters and dozens of shops and restaurants, all arranged on a pseudo-street full of Southern California architecture in caricature. The restaurants -- Hard Rock Cafe, Johnny Rockets and so on -- aren't unique, but the flashing, splashing, buzzing energy and kid-friendliness of the place is undeniable. To sidestep the $10-$20 cost of parking, arrive using the Metro Red Line's Universal City station or sleep just down the hill and walk. The two closest hotels to Universal are the Sheraton Universal (333 Universal Hollywood Drive, Universal City; www.sheratonuniversal.com) and the Hilton Los Angeles/Universal City (555 Universal Hollywood Drive, Universal City; www.hiltonuniversal.com). But there's also the Beverly Garland Holiday Inn (4222 Vineland Ave., North Hollywood; www.beverlygarland.com.), which is almost as close and offers free shuttle rides to the park. The seven-acre Garland complex offers a pool, a restaurant (Tula's), two illuminated tennis courts -- not your typical Holiday Inn and not a typical back story either. Beverly Garland, a TV and film actress from the '50s to the '90s, built the hotel with her husband, Fillmore Crank, in 1972. He died in 1999, and she died in 2008, but a great collection of stills from her spectacularly varied career ("The Alligator People," "My Three Sons," "Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman") remains on the lobby walls. From that lobby, you can walk two blocks to a breakfast haunt where few tourists turn up: the ultra-casual Vivian's Millennium Cafe (10968 Ventura Blvd., Studio City; www.netentry.net/vivians-café). Head for the patio in back, settle in among the locals and order the pancakes.
4. Cruise Ventura Boulevard
There's no sense fighting car culture, so you may as well embrace the boulevard. It carries the Valley's commercial lifeblood, and without it, the stars from up the hill would have no place to take their dry cleaning or get their poodles permed. Start at its southeast end in Studio City, perhaps with breakfast at Jerry's Famous Deli (12655 Ventura Blvd., Studio City; www.jerryfamousdeli.com) and head toward Tarzana, an upscale hillside community that began with the arrival in 1919 of Tarzan creator Edgar Rice Burroughs. Check out the big digits at Hand Car Wash (11514 Ventura Blvd., Studio City; www.studiocityhandcarwash.com); the spate of sushi restaurants between Vineland Avenue and Laurel Canyon Boulevard; the 24-hour Du-par's coffee shop (12036 Ventura Blvd., Studio City; www.du-pars.com); the 24-hour Twain's coffee shop (12905 Ventura Blvd., Studio City). Or skip the foregoing and start with lunch at Sweet Butter Kitchen, Café & Market (13824 Ventura Blvd., Sherman Oaks; www.sweetbutterkitchen.com), then check out the highly walkable stretches near Vantage, Whitsett and Cedros avenues; and the fountain at the Sherman Oaks Galleria (15301 Ventura Blvd., Sherman Oaks; www.shermanoaksgalleria.com). The Galleria has been so thoroughly updated that it looks nothing like it did in the early '80s, when Frank and Moon Unit Zappa drew inspiration for their song "Valley Girl," but it has Arclight Cinemas, a gym, a spa and a bevy of national-chain restaurants and snack stops. You'll also pass Van Nuys Boulevard, which was a big-time teen cruising scene in the '60s and '70s before police put a stop to it. (Classic-car enthusiasts have been trying to revive summer cruising nights on the second Wednesday of every month.) To top off the journey, tip your cap at the humble offices of Edgar Rice Burroughs Inc. (18354 Ventura Blvd., Tarzana). It was here, under a walnut tree, that the author's family scattered his ashes in 1950. (A Burroughs office staffer notes, "We have had a lot of landscaping done in the meantime.")
5. The mission, the dead and the boulders
Mission San Fernando Rey de Espana (15151 San Fernando Mission Blvd., Mission Hills; www.missiontour.org/sanfernando) went up in 1797, 17th of the 21 California missions. The surrounding Mission Hills neighborhood -- a gritty triangle made by the 5, 118 and 405 freeways -- is not a tourist haven. But the mission complex has been well reconstructed, the church celebrates regular Masses and weddings, and there's a big collection of artifacts in the museum next door. Bob Hope, who lived in the Valley's Toluca Lake neighborhood for many of his 100 years, is buried here, and there's a memorial garden in his honor. At the San Fernando Mission Cemetery next door (11160 Stranwood Ave.), you can pay respects to L.A.'s first famous Valenzuela: singer-songwriter Ricardo Valenzuela (a.k.a. Ritchie Valens), who died at 17 in a 1959 plane crash. (To find Valens' flat marker, look in area C, near No. 248 at the Stranwood Avenue entrance.) Next, leave the gravestones and head 10 miles west on California 118 to Chatsworth. When 118 crosses the north end of Topanga Canyon Boulevard, get off and park. See the towering boulders? This is 76-acre Stoney Point Park (www.laparks.org/dos/parks/facility/stoneyPointPk.htm). Outlaws hid out here in the 19th century, and rock-climbing pioneers Royal Robbins and Yvon Chouinard (founder of the Patagonia outdoor clothing company) did a lot of learning here in the '50s and '60s. The place is still big with climbers (and film crews), and if you show up in the afternoon, expect to find a few boulder-scramblers on their way to play. They'll be the ones carrying bags of rosin (to keep hands dry) and Cheetos (to keep belly full).
6. Great Wall, good sausage, Hot Wheels
The Great Wall of Los Angeles, created by artists Judith Baca and hundreds of high school kids between 1976 and 1984, is half a mile long, which makes it one of the biggest murals in the U.S. It's also an underdog's view of California, beginning before the dawn of man and including downtrodden Native Americans, imprisoned Japanese Americans and deported Mexicans, concluding improbably with the arrival of the Olympic torch for the 1984 Summer Games. The images line the west wall of the flood control channel on the west side of Coldwater Canyon Avenue between Burbank Boulevard and Oxnard Street in Valley Glen. A footpath runs along the channel so you can cover all that history while making a one-mile loop, as many locals and their dogs do. Then head to Nat's Early Bite (14115 Burbank Blvd., Sherman Oaks; www.natsearlybite.com), an old-school breakfast-and-lunch joint, its menu long on sausage and homemade muffins. Having just covered 2,200 or more years of history, you can eat your fill. Then you step next door and flash back into history again. Only this time it's the happy recent history prized by the management of Big Kid Collectable Toy Mall & Retro Store (14109 Burbank Blvd., Sherman Oaks; www.bigkidcollectables.com). When customers see old familiars still for sale -- Abba Zabba and Tang, among them -- "people trip out," says manager Nick Liberatore. He speaks over the buzz of a 1963 Pepsi machine and the score of the Beatles' "Yellow Submarine," which is showing a few feet away on a reproduction '50s TV. Other inventory includes "Planet of the Apes" action figures and Hot Wheels tracks. When the phone rings, Liberatore answers with "Good morning, Big Kid." Who's the kid in that sentence? We all are.
7. Burbank, baby
Eventually, you're going to crash at the Tangerine Hotel (3901 W. Riverside Drive, Burbank; www.tangerinehotel.com), a 31-room budget spot (with pool) that's been recently redone in minimalist style, heavy on the color orange. But before you sleep, Burbank awaits, harboring more diversions than you might imagine. They begin with Bob. The oldest remaining Bob's Big Boy (4211 W. Riverside Drive, Burbank; www.bobs.net) went up in 1949. Its sign stands 70 feet tall, it's open around the clock and its lot fills up with classic cars on Friday nights. On Saturday and Sunday nights, you can get car hop service. For years, writer-director David Lynch had lunch here daily. During the day, you'll see lots of elderly customers under the swooping ceilings of the Midcentury dining room, and the big boy himself lingers just outside the front door like the world's least-menacing bouncer. If you happen to be here on a Tuesday night, one after-dinner option is the adults-only song stylings of Porn Star Karaoke night at Sardo's Grill & Lounge (259 N. Pass Ave., Burbank; www.sardosbar.com), just a few blocks away. Since 2003, porn-industry insiders have been gathering to croon and unwind after a day's filming, these days with the encouragement of sassy emcee (and veteran actress) Nicki Hunter. You never know what you'll get. At 9:15 p.m. one Tuesday, a 90% male audience waited patiently while a middle-aged man earnestly made his way through Simon and Garfunkel's "The Boxer." A week later, a DVD release party for a "Vagina Monologues" parody brought a buzzing crowd that included several cast members. If neither night sounds like your style, here's good news: Just across the street from Bob's is the 130-seat Falcon Theatre (4252 Riverside Drive, Burbank; www.falcontheatre.com), founded in 1997 by "Happy Days" creator Garry Marshall. It features goofball musical mash-ups by the Troubadour Theater Company and director Matt Walker. Just from a sampling of show titles, you get the flavor: "It's a Stevie Wonderful Life," "As U2 Like It" and "Much Adoobie Brothers About Nothing."
8. Suburban splendor
Take Tujunga Avenue north from Ventura Boulevard, then pull over between Woodbridge and Moorpark streets. You have just arrived in suburban paradise, although it comes with a fatal footnote. Begin by nibbling, sipping and browsing in the home and patio that have been converted into Aroma Coffee & Tea Co. (a.k.a. Aroma Café, 4360 Tujunga Ave., Studio City; www.aromacoffeeandtea.com) and the neighboring bookshop, Portrait of a Bookstore (www.portraitofabookstore.com). Along this block you'll find vintage clothes, a day spa, a yoga venue, a theater company and gallery, a gelato bar and Caioti Pizza Café (4346 Tujunga Ave., Studio City; www.caiotipizzacafe.com), whose salads have long been said to help induce labor in pregnant women. Within two blocks you'll find at least two casting agencies, one dance academy, one acting studio, one spiritual coach/life teacher and Woodbridge Park, which has a playground, a few shaded picnic tables and a big patch of grass. For the footnote, walk to the nearby Italian restaurant and jazz club. That's Vitello's (4349 Tujunga Ave., Studio City; www.vitellosrestaurant.com), where actor Robert Blake brought his wife, Bonny Lee Bakley, for dinner on May 4, 2001, shortly before she was shot to death nearby. A criminal jury acquitted Blake in the killing in early 2005, but later that year a civil jury found him liable for Bakley's wrongful death and awarded her children $30 million in damages, later reduced to $15 million by an appeals court. Blake filed for bankruptcy in 2006.
9. The bohos of NoHo
The North Hollywood Arts District, for many years a forlorn commercial strip, has been gathering steam as a bohemian enclave over the last decade, aided by a subway stop and redevelopment dollars. Start with dinner or lunch at Pitfire Artisan Pizza Co. (5211 Lankershim Blvd., North Hollywood; www.pitfirepizza.com), which has a big patio with a fire pit and pingpong table. (It's part of a small Southern California chain.) Then hit a performance (check Deaf West Theatre, 5112 Lankershim Blvd., North Hollywood; www.deafwest.org), winner of many national plaudits, or El Portal Theatre (5269 Lankershim Blvd., North Hollywood; www.elportaltheatre.com), built as a vaudeville house in 1926 and revived as a three-venue space in 2000. To see what's on at these and several other local theaters, check www.nohoartsdistrict.com. If you have spare minutes, browse the TV star statues (Johnny Carson, Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz, to start with) in front of the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences at Lankershim and Magnolia boulevards. Or get dinner or a nightcap at the stylish Federal Bar (5303 Lankershim Blvd., North Hollywood; www.thefederalbar.com), which opened in February in a cool, two-story brick building that dates to the 1920s.
10. Berries and grass
Three generations along, the Tapia Bros. Fresh Produce (5251 Hayvenhurst Ave., Encino; www.facebook.com/pages/Tapia-Bros-Farm/126868084034172) keeps the Valley's agricultural history alive with an 80-acre farm and stand. The stand, which typically closes January through late March, greets spring with strawberries and tomatoes. The family also grows corn, keeps chickens, pheasant and goats, and sells flowers. Once you've had a taste and said hello to the animals, cross Burbank Boulevard for the wide-open spaces of the Sepulveda Basin and Sepulveda Dam recreation areas, with lots of grass and nine miles of flat trails that are highly popular with joggers, dog-walkers and kids on bikes. This broad area, north of Encino and south of Van Nuys, was designed to collect water in a major flood. It also includes the Sepulveda Basin Dog Park; Lake Balboa Park; Balboa, Encino and Woodley Lakes municipal golf courses; and the Japanese Garden (6100 Woodley Ave., Van Nuys, www.thejapanesegarden.com).
11. That's all, folks
Don't overlook the tour at Warner Bros. studios (3400 Riverside Drive, Burbank; vipstudiotour.warnerbros.com). It has no rides, no 3-D presentations, no spitting dinosaurs. What it does offer is a grown-up look at how TV shows and movies get made, priced recently at $49 for adults, closed to children younger than 8, and lasting about 2 1/2 hours. Led by a guide, you typically travel on foot and by golf cart in a group of 12. You browse the fixtures and paintings in the prop shop, perhaps glimpse rooms where backdrops are painted or orchestral scores are recorded, stand in the square where "76 Trombones" was shot for "The Music Man," step into the courthouse where the last episode of "Seinfeld" took place, and sit on the couch at Central Perk, where the "Friends" coffee shop is preserved. If it's working Hollywood you want to see, this is a better bet than Universal. You wind up at the Warner Bros. Museum, where the bottom floor covers 80-odd years of movies and TV and the top floor covers Harry Potter. Along the way, you're bound to learn a thing or two about such Warner heroes as Bugs Bunny and Porky Pig, who concluded many a cartoon by saying -- well, you know.

Once you have persisted objects you need to query them. For example if you have a web application representing an online store, the user asks to see all products of a particular type, ordered by the price. This requires you to query the datastore for these products. JDO allows support for several query languages using its API. DataNucleus provides querying using
Note that for some datastores additional query languages may be available specific to that datastore - please check the datastores documentation. The query language you choose is your choice, typically dependent on the skillset of the developers of your application.
|We recommend using JDOQL for queries wherever possible since it is object-based and datastore agnostic, giving you extra flexibility in the future. If not possible using JDOQL, only then use a language appropriate to the datastore in question
The principal ways of creating a query are
Query q = pm.newQuery("javax.jdo.query.JDOQL", "SELECT FROM mydomain.MyClass WHERE field2 < threshold " + "PARAMETERS java.util.Date threshold");
Query q = pm.newQuery("SQL", "SELECT * FROM MYTABLE WHERE COL1 == 25);
Query q = pm.newNamedQuery(MyClass.class, "MyQuery1");
Query q = pm.newQuery("SELECT FROM mydomain.MyClass WHERE field2 < threshold " + "PARAMETERS java.util.Date threshold");
Query q = pm.newQuery(MyClass.class); q.setFilter("field2 < threshold"); q.declareParameters("java.util.Date threshold");
TypesafeQuery<MyClass> q = pm.newTypesafeQuery(MyClass.class); QMyClass cand = QMyClass.candidate(); List<Product> results = q.filter(cand.field2.lt(q.doubleParameter("threshold"))).executeList();
Please note that with the query API you can also specify execution time information for the query, such as whether it executes in memory, or whether to apply a datastore timeout etc.
An intermediate step once you have your query defined, if you want to check its validity is to compile it. You do this as follows
If the query is invalid, then a JDO exception will be thrown.
So we have set up our query. We now execute it
Object result = q.execute();
If we have parameters to pass in we can also do any of
Object result = q.execute(paramVal1); Object result = q.execute(paramVal1, paramVal2); Object result = q.executeWithArray(new Object[]{paramVal1, paramVal2}); Map paramMap = new HashMap(); paramMap("param1", paramVal1); paramMap("param2", paramVal2); Object result = q.executeWithMap(paramMap);
By default, when a query is executed, it will execute in the datastore with what is present in the datastore at that time. If there are outstanding changes waiting to be flushed then these will not feature in the results. To flush these changes before execution, set the following query "extension" before calling execute
JDO's query API allows implementations to support extensions and provides a simple interface for enabling the use of such extensions on queries.
q.addExtension("extension_name", "value");
HashMap exts = new HashMap(); exts.put("extension1", value1); exts.put("extension2", value2); q.setExtensions(exts);
With the JDO API you can either define a query at runtime, or define it in the MetaData/annotations for a class and refer to it at runtime using a symbolic name. This second option means that the method of invoking the query at runtime is much simplified. To demonstrate the process, lets say we have a class called Product (something to sell in a store). We define the JDO Meta-Data for the class in the normal way, but we also have some query that we know we will require, so we define the following in the Meta-Data.
<jdo> <package name="mydomain"> <class name="Product"> ... <query name="SoldOut" language="javax.jdo.query.JDOQL"><![CDATA[ SELECT FROM mydomain.Product WHERE status == "Sold Out" ]]></query> </class> </package> </jdo>
So we have a JDOQL query called "SoldOut" defined for the class Product that returns all Products (and subclasses) that have a status of "Sold Out". Out of interest, what we would then do in our application to execute this query woule be
Query q = pm.newNamedQuery(mydomain.Product.class,"SoldOut"); Collection results = (Collection)q.execute();
The above example was for the JDOQL object-based query language. We can do a similar thing using SQL, so we define the following in our MetaData for our Product class
<jdo> <package name="mydomain"> <class name="Product"> ... <query name="PriceBelowValue" language="javax.jdo.query.SQL"><![CDATA[ SELECT NAME FROM PRODUCT WHERE PRICE < ? ]]></query> </class> </package> </jdo>
So here we have an SQL query that will return the names of all Products that have a price less than a specified value. This leaves us the flexibility to specify the value at runtime. So here we run our named query, asking for the names of all Products with price below 20 euros.
Query q = pm.newNamedQuery(mydomain.Product.class,"PriceBelowValue"); Collection results = (Collection)q.execute(20.0);
All of the examples above have been specifed within the <class> element of the MetaData. You can, however, specify queries below <jdo> in which case the query is not scoped by a particular candidate class. In this case you must put your queries in any of the following MetaData files
/META-INF/package.jdo /WEB-INF/package.jdo /package.jdo /META-INF/package-{mapping}.orm /WEB-INF/package-{mapping}.orm /package-{mapping}.orm /META-INF/package.jdoquery /WEB-INF/package.jdoquery /package.jdoquery
When a Query is executed it executes in the datastore, which returns a set of results. DataNucleus could clearly read all results from this ResultSet in one go and return them all to the user, or could allow control over this fetching process. JDO provides a fetch size on the Fetch Plan to allow this control. You would set this as follows
Query q = pm.newQuery(...); q.getFetchPlan().setFetchSize(FetchPlan.FETCH_SIZE_OPTIMAL);
fetch size has 3 possible values.
In addition to the number of objects fetched, you can also control which fields are fetched for each object of the candidate type. This is controlled via the FetchPlan. For RDBMS any single-valued member will be fetched in the original SQL query, but with multiple-valued members this is not supported. However what will happen is that any collection field will be retrieved in a single SQL query for all candidate objects; this avoids the "N+1" problem, resulting in 1 original SQL query plus 1 SQL query per collection member. Note that you can disable this by either not putting multi-valued fields in the FetchPlan, or by setting the query extension "datanucleus.multivaluedFetch" to "none" (default is "bulk-fetch" using the single SQL per field). For non-RDBMS datastores the collection/map is stored by way of a Collection of ids of the related objects in a single "column" of the object and so is retrievable in the same query. See also Fetch Groups.
DataNucleus also allows an extension to give further control. As mentioned above, when the transaction containing the Query is committed, all remaining results are read so that they can then be accessed later (meaning that the query is still usable). Where you have a large result set and you don't want this behaviour you can turn it off by specifying a Query extension
q.addExtension("datanucleus.query.loadResultsAtCommit", "false");
so when the transaction is committed, no more results will be available from the query.
In some situations you don't want all FetchPlan fields retrieving, and DataNucleus provides an extension to turn this off, like this
q.addExtension("datanucleus.query.useFetchPlan", "false");
JDO allows control over whether objects found by a query are locked during that transaction so that other transactions can't update them in the meantime. To do this you would do
Query q = pm.newQuery(...); q.setSerializeRead(true);
You can also specify this for all queries for all PMs using a PMF property datanucleus.SerializeRead. In addition you can perform this on a per-transaction basis by doing
If the datastore in use doesn't support locking of objects then this will do nothing
When using optimistic transactions all updates to data are held until flush()/commit(). This means that executing a query may not take into account changes made during that transaction in some objects. DataNucleus allows a convenience of calling flush() just before execution of queries so that all updates are taken into account. The property name is datanucleus.query.flushBeforeExecution and defaults to "false".
To do this on a per query basis for JDO you would do
You can also specify this for all queries using a persistence property datanucleus.query.flushBeforeExecution which would then apply to ALL queries for that PMF.
Sets the timeout for this query (in milliseconds). Will throw a JDOUnsupportedOperationException if the query implementation doesn't support timeouts.

Those who follow this blog already know of my great respect for the model that is the National Writing Project. The work done through this network of educators has been frequently referred to as professional development that works in that it affects a lasting change in teacher practice over time.
This summer, in a short presentation on working with professionals across a generational divide (four generations, the largest cross-generational grouping, now work side by side) I was exposed to the simple graphic below as an explanation for why certain generational groups approach their work differently.
It immediately resonated as a model for the failure of most of the professional development in schools to affect a lasting change.
It also offers a strong argument for why the Intensive Summer Institute, and the ensuing network of teaching professionals, has proven to impact student learning.
The chart maintains that experiences affect our beliefs. Those beliefs influence our actions which ultimately determines results.
Most professional development only acts on the top two tiers. "Do intervention a, b, or c and you will get prescribed results." The intervention does not 'take' because nothing has been experienced which will change beliefs. Without ongoing support for new strategies, the teacher does not have enough experience to change beliefs and falls back on old assumptions. When the first initiative fails, a new approach is introduced.
The experience of most teachers has built the belief that "this too shall pass." We need only wait out the current reform as another one will surely replace it.
Conversely, the teachers of the Invitational Summer Institute are immersed in experiences which affect their beliefs about practice. They apply theory to practice, experience heightened engagement from learning from each other, examine student work across time and curriculum, and, most importantly in understanding how writing happens, write with an eye toward publication for a valued audience. Over the period of a month or more, teacher create a collaborative, respectful learning environment of sharing practice, theory, and the writing life.
It is these combined experiences that teachers most often describe as 'transformational.' The combined experience of the Institute leads teachers to the belief that their work is worthy of study, reflection, and revision--and that they can take charge of these habits of mind.
If we are to believe the model pictured in the graphic, the culture of the teaching profession must change. Changing the experience of teachers from one of subservience to empowerment will result in classroom teachers who can enact substantive and lasting reform on a classroom by classroom basis.

Mahmoud Amedinejhad has been the master of vitriol against Israel ever since he took office. With statements like, "Israel is a withered tree soon to be uprooted and thrown into the sea," or, "Israel is a cancer that is soon to be irradiated," there is not much wiggle room for detente or negotiations. Iran has called for all Muslims to rise up against Israel and defend their Palestinian brothers. So far we have heard lots of rhetoric but not much action on the part of the Iranians, Syria or Libya. Frankly, I hope that this war doesn't escalate, but I will continue to monitor it from here. As of this post Israel continues it's operations in Gaza. They are trying to destroy the tunnel system that honeycombs Gaza and which serves as the command post and center of operations for HAMAS.
I received a comment yesterday pointing to the idea that somehow the Israeli war is being controlled by the CFR and that Israel is just a pawn of the United States and the Global cabal to take over the world. While there are elements of this that may be true, surely we can agree that the current war, that is taking place is in direct response to the rockets that are launched, most often from civilian houses, by HAMAS. I fail to see the conspiracy here. HAMAS has sworn that it will never recognize the state of Israel, period. Iran, and it's proxy Hezbollah have echoed this decree innumerable times. Israel is responding to months of rocket barrages by HAMAS. The person who posted the comment then referred to Jeff Rense's site. Rense is anti-Semitic and all one has to do is land on the site to see the hate and bigotry directed toward the Jews. Interestingly enough, I am no longer welcome on that show, although I was a guest a few years back. Most likely the reason for this is that I hold to a Christian world view and part of the view is the belief in Biblical prophecy, which centers around Israel. That being said, there is a dynamic that is being set in motion here that the natural man can never understand. There are supernatural forces that are at work in that part of the world. There is the Mystery of Lawlessness, that Paul warns us about, that is at work to bring about the man of sin, or the Anti Christ. I am often asked if we are in the time when the Anti Christ will be revealed. The short answer to this is yes. That being said, I do believe that there is a conspiracy but it is a Luciferian or Satanic one that is pushing this area of the world into conflict and this was prophesied thousands of years ago. We will see if Iran and it's neighbor Syria join the fray and are then backed by the Russians. Are we about to see the fulfillment of the Ezekiel war? At some point in time this prophecy of Ezekiel will be fulfilled. When this happens it will create what I believe one of the most unsettling times in all of history. Will this be the trigger that sets off supernatural events that I have written extensively about in Politics, Prophecy & the Supernatural? Will we see the manifestation of the supernatural? Only time will tell….

Wednesday's Severe Weather Risk
Our weather will really start to change over the next 48 hours across Arkansas and Oklahoma. The SPC severe weather risk has been moved further west out of our area for Wednesday.
Dynamically speaking our atmosphere really won't be that explosive tomorrow afternoon and evening. Cloud cover and deep moisture will help to limit our heating; however, across central and western Oklahoma, heating and cold air aloft should promote surface based storms.
There will be enough shear within the slight risk area that large hail, damaging winds, and isolated tornadoes will be possible. Those storms will move in our direction by the late afternoon and early evening. Storms will weaken as they approach our area, but they could produce small hail and gusty winds.
A FLASH FLOOD WATCH has been issued for LeFlore, Scott, Polk, and McDonald counties through Thursday. We do expect widespread 1" to 3" rainfall totals throughout eastern Oklahoma and western Arkansas through Thursday afternoon. Right now the rain is forecast to move out for Halloween night!

By JEREMIAH TURNER
PORTSMOUTH – A family-owned distribution company from northern Maine has relocated its corporate headquarters to the Pease International Tradeport.
P.A.T. Products, an international distributor of specialty chemicals, plastics and raw materials, was located in Bangor for 40 years, said Michael Bergeron, business development manager for the New Hampshire Division of Economic Development.
Bergeron worked with the Coyle family on its move. The decision was strategic and financial, with the attractiveness of being closer to the metro Boston area and NH's favorable tax climate major considerations.
Bergeron said P.A.T. has been in contact with his office off and on since 2003. The timing was just right to make the move for them, he said.
P.A.T. opened its new headquarters in December at 112 Corporate Dr., Pease, in a 2,000-square-foot vacant space.
Company president and founder Leo Coyle said the decision to relocate headquarters out of Maine was not an easy one. But Maine has become increasingly less friendly to business and the benefits of the move were overwhelming, he said.
Coyle has purchased a home in Dover and his son and vice president, Leo Edward Coyle, is living in Exeter.
Leo Coyle said the firm will bring up to four employees with it. There were about eight employees total at its Bangor location.
The firm will continue to operate the Bangor facility, said Coyle. It also has satellite offices in Tucson, Ariz., and Cleveland, Ohio.
Coyle said the move is advantageous for a number of reasons.
Not insignificant is Maine's personal income tax, which is 8 1/2 percent at the top rate, he said. This compared to NH's lack of an income tax.
Also, the company estimates it will save thousands of dollars in travel costs.
P.A.T. sells its products worldwide and regularly flies representatives to Asia and other places to meet with customers. Firms it sells to also fly people in for meetings. Being close to Logan and Manchester airports is a real plus, said Coyle. P.A.T. also has many customers in the Boston metro area, now within an hour of him.
Coyle said NH's high property taxes partly offset the income tax, but overall the move is a definite gain for the business and its owners.
NH did not offer any special incentives to move here other than its normal benefits, he said, but neither did Maine make an effort to entice him to stay.
Coyle said the firm likely will hire more people as it grows but the timing is uncertain.
For information on P.A.T. Products, visit www.patproducts.com.
For more information about doing business in New Hampshire, contact Bergeron at 603-271-2591.

By Nathan Petrashek
Ryan Braun's long awaited statement on his suspension has finally arrived, and it's a doozy. Literally. The most remarkable thing about the statement is that it took him 943 words to say what could have been said in 17:
- He's sorry.
- He'll never do it again.
- He did it only that one time.
- He's really sorry.
At the end of the day, it probably doesn't matter what Braun had to say. He destroyed every shred of credibility he had with his victory speech, so I won't hold it against anyone if they believe he started doping at the University of Miami, or whenever. His story has a lot of loose threads.
And what is Braun's story, you ask? Hampered by a calf strain in the summer of 2011, Braun said simply that he used "a cream and a lozenge" to speed his recovery. Of course, he failed his test in October, so that must have been some strain. And we don't know how Braun hooked up with Tony Bosch and Biogenesis in the first place, though that's probably (hopefully?) of greater interest to MLB in its quest to rid the sport of PEDs than to Braun's ever-dwindling fan base.
Braun explains his actions following his failed test as "self righteous" and stemming from his belief that he was "wronged and attacked." This part of the statement I take at face value. I'm sure in the months following his positive test, he did convince himself that he was in the right. That even though he brazenly flouted the Joint Drug Agreement, Dino Laurenzi's decision to store his sample in a plastic tub in his basement for days was somehow so much worse. I'm sure Braun rationalized, diminished, even denied his own drug use until, encouraged by the false confidence he had instilled in others, Braun somehow believed he stood on the moral high ground.
And so Braun's most grievous sin is not his drug use, it's his arrogance. He believed he could beat a system in which he had been caught red-handed. And he did, for a time, but not before smearing Laurenzi who, even if he didn't exercise the best judgment in handling Braun's sample, certainly didn't deserve the inference of tampering Braun tried to create. Notably, Braun did not say he had "privately expressed" his apologies to Laurenzi, as he did to MLB and Players' Association officials.
Braun's ego was the problem, and it may still be. But he can't dodge the cameras and questions forever. And when they finally catch up to him, he's going to wish a calf strain was his biggest worry.

Oprah Winfrey was in a bit of a pickle when it came to launching her Oprah Winfrey Network in January 2011.
Mainly, she's not allowed to broadcast her top-rated talk show on the network because she's contractually obligated to keep it in local syndication until her deal ends in December 2011.
So she's created a reality show about the end of her show.
OWN announced Tuesday afternoon the creation of "Behind the Scenes: Oprah's 25th Season," a weekly reality show about the production of her featured show.
The behind-the-scenes show is billed as "a one-hour primetime docu-series featuring a rare behind-the-scenes glimpse of The Oprah Winfrey Show."
"For the first time ever, viewers will get to see behind the curtains of The Oprah Winfrey Show," said Christina Norman, chief executive officer in a statement. "'Behind the Scenes: Oprah's 25th Season' will document what will be the most amazing season, yet."
The new show solves a critical problem for the Oprah Winfrey Network: how to launch an Oprah-themed network without featuring the starring lady doing what she does best.
Well played, Oprah.
Along with the behind the scenes show, OWN announced four new prime-time shows for the network. We'll let the press release do the talking about those:
KID-NAPPED (working title)
This series will let kids turn the tables on their workaholic parent, allowing them the chance to "kidnap" the offending parent and officially ban them from work, even confiscating their blackberries and cell phones. By forcing some quality time together, the kidnapped parent is under the kids' control until deemed properly cured. This one-hour program is a UK format produced by Love Productions.
MIRACLE DETECTIVES (working title)
Two investigators, one a believer and the other a skeptical scientist, travel the earth to uncover answers to mysterious incidents that transcend logic. In each episode of this series, the investigators will delve deeply into two different miracles. In their quest to find conclusive answers and support their case, they will visit the site of the incident and any other locations that are vital to collecting data about the event. Speaking to witnesses, authorities, and experts, these investigators will do what it takes to explain what just may be a miracle. This one-hour program is produced by Pilgrim TV and Film.
SEARCH (working title)
Using the expertise of renowned search specialist and New Jersey housewife Pam Slaton, this series features three people from diverse backgrounds who are looking to find someone they love. Some individuals may be looking for a lost love, others may be trying to find a missing family member, while others may be looking to make amends with someone from their past. Whether separated by adoption, tragedy, or simply by chance, this program will follow each person as they embark on an emotional journey. This one-hour show is produced by Stuart Krasnow Productions.
SENTENCED (working title)
Set at Rockville Correctional Facility, a maximum-security women's prison in Rockville, Indiana, this series will track the personal journeys of real-life "women behind bars," including their ties to family and the lives they try to sustain on the outside. Whether they are in for the short term or in for life, this program will explore the ways in which this particular prison can be a source of rehabilitation and hope. This one-hour show is produced by 44 Blue. Rasha Drachkovitch is Executive Producer.
Oprah Engineers a Talk Show End-Around

A Collection of Confections at CassisPosted: June 18th, 2010 | Author: KN | Filed under: Bakery, Beverly, Cassis Bakery, Sweets and Treats | Tags: Birthday Cake, Cassis Bakery, Fruit Flan, Pastries, pastry, Sacher Torte | No Comments »
June is a busy multi-birthday month for us, so when we needed a couple of birthday cakes we thought of Cassis Bakery in Beverly. Since its inception 10 years ago, Cassis has won many accolades and become well known on the North Shore for its pastries and wedding cakes.
We stopped in last week to peruse the refrigerated cases and order our confections. The bakery offers a wide range of cakes and tortes to choose from, including a new gluten-free menu. Our first request was a Sacher torte, but we were told that due to time and complexity, the baker no longer makes them for small orders, and even when ordering a large one, it must be done further in advance. So we decided to go with a fruit flan and a standard chocolate mousse birthday cake.
The beautiful display in the pastry case was so alluring that after we placed the order, we couldn't leave without taking a few treats along. The porcupines ($2.85) were so damned cute that you almost don't want to eat them—but we did. A butter cookie tart shell filled with chocolate cream, almonds, and a coat of dark chocolate, they tasted as wonderful as they looked. The cinnamon twist ($2.20) was also quite good; like an elongated cinnamon bun with plenty of icing, it was lovely with coffee.
When we picked up the cakes on Sunday morning, everyone was wowed by how gorgeous they were. The fruit flan ($37.50 for 9″) was spectacular. Completely unlike supermarket tarts, the fruit was sliced thinly to make an intricate pattern and included fresh peaches, kiwi, strawberries, and raspberries. The tart shell was buttery, the flan itself rich and creamy.
Although the chocolate cake ($30 for 8″ plus $3 for the purple frosted decorations) was beautiful, flavor-wise it was unsuccessful. The sponge cake was a dry and not chocolate-y enough, though the layers of mousse in the middle helped it, and the buttercream frosting was heavy and bland.
With the chefs' obvious care and attention to detail, one can see how Cassis has gained its reputation, and it's definitely worth frequenting for pastries and specialty items. And you didn't hear it from us, but fruit flan leftovers are especially good for breakfast…

I've done that and the problem persists.
I've done that and the problem persists.
2) KEYBOARD ISSUE: Still present ... auto-reverting to Unicode Hex Input keyboard the moment the drop-down list of words shows (generally after the first character in a search is typed), and the colon (showing as semi-colon) and the asterisk (showing as 8) are unavailable, except by clicking the drop-down options, or by switching to another keyboard for just that one character needed (until BW auto-reverts to the defective Unicode Hex Input layout). <Have not tried to modify the *.keylayout file to see if there is a problem there. There should not be, since the layout works fine in other Mac program.>
Okay, I see the problem. If you have BW running and select from the Apple/main (top) menu BibleWorks | About BibleWorks it does erroneously show 9-r3-13. That is a typo and I will report it.
If the lower left status bar shows 9-r3-14 and the in-program Help | About shows 9-r3-14 you are okay. I'm sorry for my misunderstanding. I had forgotten about that third location for the version number.
Regarding the keyboard issue, the glitch you are reporting is on the Command Line when you are trying to do a Hebrew search, right? Can you tell me the exact keystrokes to press to reproduce the problem you are seeing.

Hmmm... much better than the magnets in the hands. I'd like to see this - a regular lightsaber, a lightsaber hilt, and a molded one with each Jedi/Sith figure.
This is a horrible idea I was much chagrined to see implemented.
Conversation about this prior to the C3 Hasbro Love-in suggested that the molded sabers were a result of action feature + litigation potential. Not sure how true the story is, but supposedly there was an incident in Australia where two kids were playing with the action feature (yes, apparently it does happen) and one ended up finding it's way into a kids eye. Rumored figure recall and this is the solution to future litigation. Again, no idea of the degree of truth here. I'm not a big fan either.

AMGA Analytics
AMGA offers robust resources for data analysis and clinical translation. We assist members in improving population health, using comparative benchmarking to discover opportunities and predictive analytics to identify high-risk patients. We drive discovery and sharing of best practices, and we help members translate them into practice.
Data Support
We create measure specifications and collect benchmarking data from members for AMGA Foundation initiatives: Best Practices Learning Collaboratives and the Chronic Care Challenge national campaigns, Measure Up/Pressure Down (hypertension) and Together 2 Goal (type 2 diabetes). We also provide data management and analysis for other AMGA initiatives, including theBest Practices Learning Collaboratives Provider Risk Readiness Survey.
Research and Translation
Together with AMGA members and other health services researchers, we study ways to improve population health at lower overall cost, enhance the healthcare experience for patients, and increase provider and staff satisfaction. With access to unique longitudinal clinical data and the ability to work directly with the AMGA member organizations, complemented by our expertise in qualitative methods, AMGA Analytics is uniquely positioned for the dissemination and implementation of key research findings, with rigorous evaluation.
Quality Measurement
Together with OptumLabs, AMGA Analytics is supporting the National Quality Forum's new "measure incubator." We are working with NQF to make it easier and more efficient to develop more meaningful measures for external accountability, as well as robust measures that can be used internally to manage care and cost.
