Your Talent Acquisition Strategy Needs SEO, Too

You might be familiar with how search engine optimization, or SEO, can help search engines like Google and Bing discover your website. Using keywords, linkbacks, social media and page ranking can help your site gain the added exposure you need to turn clicks into customers. But, can SEO also help you find the right candidates for your open positions?
A little search engine optimization can go a long way toward getting your jobs out in front of the candidates your company needs to meet its growth objectives. Companies of all varieties understand the role of SEO in bringing traffic to their sites, but many are ignoring the importance of using SEO for their talent acquisition strategy. If your startup has recently acquired funding and you want to hire the best, SEO can be an important and affordable part of your recruitment marketing campaign. Here are some tips for how to optimize your talent acquisition strategy to find the people your startup company needs to thrive.
Do a Little Digging
Before you start developing your talent acquisition SEO strategy, take a step back and figure out what kind of candidate you need for your company. Give some thought to the work experience, attitude and skills your ideal employee will need to be successful.
Once you know what your company is looking for, think about what your ideal candidate might be looking for. Discover what industry-specific terms, programs or buzzwords candidates matching your requirements would typically search for to find their dream job. Armed with your list of ideal candidate attributes, look at similar job descriptions and even use the Google AdWords Keyword Tool for inspiration.
Be ready to roll up your sleeves and do a little research. Understanding the needs of your ideal candidate will go a long way toward helping you nab the talent your company needs.
Key Into Your Keywords
At this point, you should have a list of keywords both relevant to your company's needs for which talented candidates are likely to be searching. Next, you need to include the keywords in your job description.
For example, if you are hiring a digital marketing position for your newly-funded startup, you should not only include obvious keywords such as "marketing" and "digital," but you may also want to sprinkle in more specific job requirements such as "social media," "SEO" or "content management." Additionally, remember the importance of location. Most talent is looking in a specific geographic area, so include location-based keywords to let candidates know whether the job is based in San Francisco or New York City.
Finally, it is important to be as specific as possible with keywords in your job title in order to find the best candidates. For instance, do not bill your opening as a "web developer" if it is really a "Java front-end developer" you are looking for. It might seem counterintuitive, but the more specific your keywords, the more likely you are to hear from qualified candidates.
Know Your Ranking
It is also important to pay attention to Google PageRank when deciding on what sites to post your jobs. For those not familiar, Google's ranking system ranges from 0 to 10 and shows how popular a site is based on algorithms: below a 3 means the site has a low ranking on Google, 3 means the site is average, 4 to 7 is a healthy page ranking and means Google considers the page to have useful content, and 8 to 10 would denote a massively popular site. For instance, LinkedIn.com has a ranking of 9.
When putting together your recruitment marketing strategy, it is best to focus on posting to sites with a PageRank of at least 3, but preferably higher. Once you have identified job sites with healthy page ranks, use a talent acquisition platform to distribute your open positions to these well-trafficked destinations.
Don't Hold Back on Linking
Links are an important SEO tool. Google uses links — both outbound and inbound — to calculate how important your site is and, therefore, how useful viewers will find the information on your page.
To get your job description in front of talented candidates, cross-link your open positions as much as possible. This means you should have your job description page, company career site and blog all linked to each other. More links to and from your job description means more paths leading to your open positions. As a result, it will be easier for the right candidates to find your jobs.
Socialize To Optimize
Social media is not only a great platform for the distribution of jobs, but it can also give you the linkbacks you need for increased exposure in Google search rankings. As social media becomes more important in everything from communicating with friends to promoting your business, it is crucial not to ignore these networks in your talent acquisition efforts.
A next-gen social recruiting platform can help you promote your openings on the major social channels such as Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn. The increased exposure can give your job descriptions better SEO, as the increased links to your site will make the search engines see your content as more valuable. The more you share your open positions, the better the overall distribution as the jobs are shared by your friends, friends of friends and so on. When many people share your jobs, Google will see the social sharing activity and linkbacks as a positive sign indicating that your job descriptions are valuable content. As a result, your jobs will rise in search results, making it easier for your ideal candidates to find them.
Optimizing your job descriptions for search engines can be a powerful tool to help your company find the best possible fit and the right employee, especially when working on a limited budget. Integrate these SEO practices into your existing talent acquisition strategy to be more effective at reaching the talent your company needs for staying competitive in the war for talent.

U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan and Dr. Jill Biden Visit Miami Dade College to Discuss Improving Nation's Education System and the Importance of Community Colleges in Job Creation
U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan and Dr. Jill Biden Visit Miami Dade College to Discuss Improving Nation's Education System and the Importance of Community Colleges in Job Creation
U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan and Dr. Jill Biden today held a panel discussion with students at Miami Dade College to exchange ideas on improving the nation's higher education system and the importance of community colleges in job creation. Duncan and Biden also discussed how funds from the stimulus package will help make college more affordable for families.
"Community colleges like Miami Dade are going to be an extremely important part of restoring the economy over the next few years and ensuring that our students can compete not just with their neighbors down the block, but also with their peers in China and India," Duncan said.
Accompanied by Miami Dade President Eduardo Padrón, Duncan and Biden praised the work of community colleges in providing students with a quality education at an affordable cost. Duncan also discussed how the stimulus package will help save education jobs and drive reform.
"As a community college professor, I see firsthand the significant and critical role that community colleges play in educating students and preparing them for a fiercely competitive workforce," Biden said. "Community colleges will no doubt play an increasingly important role in restoring the economy over the coming years by training Americans for jobs of the future in affordable and accessible ways." Biden is currently a professor at Northern Virginia Community College. Prior to coming to Washington, D.C., she taught English full-time at Delaware Technical & Community College in Newark, Delaware, for the last 15 years.
Of the $30.8 billion in the stimulus package for higher education, $17 billion will be used to close the shortfall in the Pell Grant program and boost grant amounts by $500 to $5,350 in the first year. The increase in Pell Grant aid will benefit low-income students who are disproportionately represented at community colleges, Duncan said. And students who participate in the Federal Work Study program will receive larger awards.
Changes in the American Opportunity Tax Credit will provide relief to more families struggling to pay for college. The education tax credit will make the cost of tuition and fees at community colleges virtually free for many students. The tax credit covers up to $2,500 of college expenses and, for the first time, a portion of this credit is available to families who currently don't have income-tax liability.
Universities and community colleges throughout the state have had to make catastrophic budget cutseliminating faculty and staff positions and decreasing financial aid. "With a $21 million reduction in funding and a 15 percent increase in enrollment here at Miami Dade, you are all too familiar with the challenge of trying to serve your students amid this economic crisis," Duncan said. "In tough economic times, we have to tighten our beltsbut not at the expense of our children's future. This is a historic opportunity we have right now to do something extraordinary for students and to take American education to the next level."
There are more than 1,000 community colleges across the country, and Miami Dade College is the largest and most diverse in the nation with eight campuses and more than 167,000 students from around the world. The college offers more than 300 programs of study and several degree options, including vocational, associate and baccalaureate. The college, which awards more associate degrees than any other community college in the United States, has a Virtual College, an Honors College and an Emerging Technologies Center of the Americas. The college has grown tremendously since it first opened its doors in the 1960swith enrollment up more than 15 percent over the last two years.

Quitana's sharp start lifts Sox in makeup game
Young southpaw continues to impress by pitching into eighth inning
CHICAGO -- In the present, the White Sox 3-2 victory over the Blue Jays on Monday night at U.S. Cellular Field was nothing more than a makeup game from a washed away contest on June 12 played by two long-ago eliminated non-contenders.
But take a bigger picture look at how this victory came about, and it gives the White Sox (62-94) something to smile about in the final week of a 2013 season full of gloom.
Jose Quintana (9-6) earned the win, allowing just one J.P. Arencibia home run and a Ryan Goins' run-scoring single over 7 1/3 innings. He fanned six and walked one, moving to 193 innings thrown for the season with one more start in Sunday's season finale against the Royals.
After bursting on the scene in 2012, Quintana not only backed up that strong rookie performance, but he surpassed it. The southpaw appears to be a strong No. 2 starter behind Chris Sale in the young but talented White Sox rotation.
"I don't think about that. I just want to do a good job and give the team a good opportunity to win," said Quintana through White Sox coach and translator Lino Diaz. "I take that as an opportunity every time I'm out there. As long as I can give the team an opportunity to win, that's all I can ask of myself."
"Quintana is good," said Toronto manager John Gibbons of the White Sox victorious hurler. "He mixes speeds, he moves in and around. He's got a quick arm, the ball gets on you. He's more explosive than the radar gun will show you. He's got a feel. You can just tell he knows what he's doing out there."
All three runs scored off of Toronto starter J.A. Happ (4-7) came via the long ball. The two home runs delivered by the White Sox came from contributors of the future and quite possibly standouts based on their final month's work.
Marcus Semien, who started at third base, launched his first career homer with one out in the second on a 0-2 pitch. Semien finished with two hits off Happ and helped cut short a Blue Jays' eighth-inning rally by making a nice defensive play on pinch-hitter Adam Lind's slow roller.
For good measure, Semien even showed off the speed element of his game with an infield single in the third.
"Any time you hit your first homer, it's a good feeling," said White Sox manager Robin Ventura of Semien's connection. "Any time you kind of get those zeroes out of the way that are in your column. It's a special night for a guy that's coming up, is trying to prove he can play at this level. To be able to hit a homer and swing the bat the way he has is good."
"It's a great feeling," said Semien of his homer. "I was really kind of nervous. Whenever you have a first-time anything in the big leagues, it's kind of a great feeling. I feel good about the way I've been playing. I try not to worry about making a case for myself or anything like that. I'm just focused on helping the team win."
Along with retrieving the baseball that he plans to bring to his mom's house, Semien got a big dugout hug from teammate Avisail Garcia after he put the White Sox on the board. It was Garcia who capped off the scoring with a solo shot in the fifth, going the opposite way for his sixth of the season and fourth with the White Sox.
Garcia joins Quintana as two of the young cornerstones of the White Sox reshaping process for 2014. Semien certainly has earned an extended look during 2014 Spring Training through his results and versatility since being called up.
"We've got a lot of young guys here, and a lot of them are playing," Semien said. "We're trying to finish strong here and see what happens."
"Moving forward, you're seeing which guys kind of fit in trying to turn it around and be a better team in the future," Ventura said. "Marcus is making a good case for himself that he can play at this level. He's not only swinging the bat, but even playing defense. He just seems like a baseball player. He's aware of what's going on."
Monday's winning decision leaves the White Sox just one victory away from avoiding a 100-loss season. Business picks up the rest of the week for the South Siders, with two in Cleveland and then four at home against the Royals.
This night in Chicago was a rain-induced stopover between a weekend in Detroit and a quick trip to face the Indians. It also produced Quintana's 17th quality start and second straight victory to go with his Major League-high 17 no-decisions, shining a bright future light for the American League Central's last-place team.
"Of course I'm very happy with the win," Quintana sad. "I'm just going to keep doing what I've been doing. Keep working. And hopefully continue to help the team that way."

The British parliament's first avowedly atheist member, Charles Bradlaugh, would stride into public meetings in the 1880s, take out his pocket watch, and challenge God to strike him dead in 60 seconds. God bided his time, but got Bradlaugh in the end. A slightly later atheist, Bertrand Russell, was once asked what he would do if it proved that he was mistaken and if he met his maker in the hereafter. He would demand to know, Russell replied with all the high-pitched fervor of his pedantry, why God had not made the evidence of his existence plainer and more irrefutable. And Jean-Paul Sartre* came up with a memorable line: "God doesn't exist—the bastard!"
Sartre's wonderful outburst of disappointed rage suggests that it is not as easy as one might suppose to rid oneself of the notion of God. (Perhaps this is the time to declare that I am not myself a believer.) At the very least, Sartre's line implies that God's existence would solve some kind of problem—actually, a profound one: the transcendent purpose of human existence. Few of us, especially as we grow older, are entirely comfortable with the idea that life is full of sound and fury but signifies nothing. However much philosophers tell us that it is illogical to fear death, and that at worst it is only the process of dying that we should fear, people still fear death as much as ever. In like fashion, however many times philosophers say that it is up to us ourselves, and to no one else, to find the meaning of life, we continue to long for a transcendent purpose immanent in existence itself, independent of our own wills. To tell us that we should not feel this longing is a bit like telling someone in the first flush of love that the object of his affections is not worthy of them. The heart hath its reasons that reason knows not of.
Of course, men—that is to say, some men—have denied this truth ever since the Enlightenment, and have sought to find a way of life based entirely on reason. Far as I am from decrying reason, the attempt leads at best to Gradgrind and at worst to Stalin. Reason can never be the absolute dictator of man's mental or moral economy.
The search for the pure guiding light of reason, uncontaminated by human passion or metaphysical principles that go beyond all possible evidence, continues, however; and recently, an epidemic rash of books has declared success, at least if success consists of having slain the inveterate enemy of reason, namely religion. The philosophers Daniel Dennett, A. C. Grayling, Michel Onfray, and Sam Harris, biologist Richard Dawkins, and journalist and critic Christopher Hitchens have all written books roundly condemning religion and its works. Evidently, there is a tide in the affairs, if not of men, at least of authors.

Bluejays Grade Themselves Halfway Through Season
All Agree Defense Needs Work
The 24th-ranked Creighton Bluejays are about to the mid-point of their season. At 12-2 for the season, KETV NewsWatch 7 asked the players and coaches to grade how they are doing.
"I would give it a B- or a C+," said sophomore forward Doug McDermott. "I think our offense has been probably an A, but I think our defense has to improve."
"Except for the turnovers against Drake, I have been pretty pleased with how we have played on the offensive end of the floor," said coach Greg McDermott. "Defensively, we are making strides. I would say we are a B- to C defensively, but we have shown we are capable of doing better."
"On offense, I am going to give it a B," said senior guard Antoine Young. "We could always get better with our moving and our spacing, knowing we need to get it inside, knowing when to attack from outside. Our defense is getting there. I will give it a C+, but it's improving."
Creighton plays at Bradley on Saturday with the tip at 7 p.m. in Peoria.

A Czech Roman Catholic priest whose theology of paradox invites believers and atheists to dialogue has won the 2014 Templeton Prize, worth $1.83 million, for his work affirming the spiritual dimension of life.
Tomas Halik, who worked underground to promote democracy and morality before communism fell in Czechoslovakia in 1989, has "continuously opened vistas that advance humankind," the U.S.-based John Templeton Foundation said on Thursday in announcing the prize.
The award is one of the world's richest, worth more than the $1.2 million the Nobel Prize committee paid to its 2013 laureates. It honors a person who has contributed to "affirming life's spiritual dimension" through insights, discoveries or practical work.
Previous winners include the Dalai Lama, South Africa's Archbishop Desmond Tutu and British astrophysicist Martin Rees.
Since 1989, Halik has pursued his mission of dialogue with other believers and non-believers through his Czech Christian Academy, his work as chaplain at Prague's Charles University and his 17 books translated into 18 languages.
"The chief task of faith and theology is to teach the art of living amid life's paradoxes and the courage to enter the cloud of unknowing," he said in a speech in London where the Foundation announced the prize.
In his speech, Halik, 65, who was ordained secretly in East Germany in 1978, thanked his philosophy and theology professors, "many of whom spent long years in communist prison camps and had very little opportunity to write or publish."
With official repression of faith boosted after the 1968 Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia, even his mother did not know about his study for the priesthood.
Halik told Reuters in an interview this week before the prize was publicly announced that he would use the money to develop his work on dialogue with other faiths and atheists, especially at the Academic Parish next to Prague's famous Charles Bridge, which hosts a wide range of cultural and religious activities.
"In this parish in these past 25 years, I have baptized more than 1,000 young people," said the priest, who also worked closely with Vaclav Havel, the first post-communist president in Prague, and Polish-born Pope John Paul II.
"This year, we have 105 catechumens (candidates for baptism) - and this in what is supposed to be the most atheist country in the world," he said.
A 2012 Pew Research Forum survey showed the Czech Republic had the world's highest percentage of religiously unaffiliated people at 76 percent, ahead of North Korea (71 percent). China has the most non-religious people but they make up only 52 percent of the huge population.
Halik, a trained psychotherapist, was barred from teaching under communism as an "enemy of the regime." He is now a professor of the sociology of religion at Charles University and frequently lectures abroad.
A fluent English speaker, he came from a secular family and became a Catholic under the influence of English Catholic writers such as G.K. Chesterton and Graham Greene, whose novels he has used to explain Christian thinking to non-believers.
Halik said he believed life was made of paradoxes and the main dividing line in spiritual questions was not between believers and non-believers, but between what he called "seekers and dwellers."
Explaining his theological approach, he said seekers look for deeper meaning in life, either through religion or other spiritual quests, while dwellers are firmly anchored in organized religion or militant atheism.
One paradox is that even atheists can be seekers if they look for something more in life than material well-being while religious fundamentalists can be as rigid in their thinking as the most vociferous deniers of anything spiritual.
"In today's world, there are two extremes - religious fundamentalism and militant atheism," he said. Even atheists he meets tell him they believe there is "something else" to life beyond what empirical science observes.
"This 'somethingness' is the most widespread religion in our country," he said. "I would tell atheists they are not wrong, but have no patience with the silence of God."
Sometimes, he said, atheists have a distorted image of God that blinds them to the God who helps believers deal with the paradoxes and mysteries of life.
"When an atheist tells me his image of God, I say, 'thank God you don't believe in him. I don't believe in him either," he said.

On a sunny Sunday morning, we decided to take a drive toward North Bay. To this point, I hadn't been here very often except going through on my way to somewhere else. Today would be different though, as I hoped to chase down a few places of interest on my list. One in particular fascinated me, but I had already resigned myself to the likelihood that I wouldn't get past the gate.
When we arrived at the BOMARC missile complex, just outside of North Bay, I was surprised to see the gate wide open, inviting me inside. I accepted the invitation and parked the vehicle. Soon, I noticed two men working, loading some things onto a large truck and I went over to introduce myself. As luck would have it, one of those men was the property owner and he was a little hazy on the history of his recent acquisition.
In the later years of the 1950's, world politics were turbulent and John Diefenbaker struggled to navigate his party and his country through murky, troubled waters. He found himself faced with difficult choices on how Canada would contribute to the fledgling NORAD alliance designed to protect North America from the threat posed by the Soviet Union, just over the Arctic Circle. A new interceptor, the Avro Arrow, was being designed, but the US was applying pressure to deploy a new surface-to-air missile (SAM) called the BOMARC.
Diefenbaker ordered the end of the Arrow program and agreed to host the missiles in two locations. The first, just outside of North Bay. The second, La Macaza, Quebec. Since the missiles came in two variants, one with conventional, high-explosive warheads, the other with low-yield nuclear warheads, it was uncertain to most Canadians which they were getting. This uncertainty ended in 1960 when it became known that the warheads would indeed be nuclear. This sparked debates and controversy until the collapse of Diefenbaker's government in 1963. He was replaced by Lester Pearson who, after considerable reservations about the issue himself, ordered the receipt of the nuclear warheads.
The Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) formed the 446 SAM Squadron in North bay, and later the 447 SAM Squadron in La Macaza. Both units were disbanded in 1972 after the Government of Canada decided that the BOMARC no longer served a useful purpose and closed the missile sites.
Some time after the base was closed, it was acquired by Canadore College and was used as a helicopter training facility. As that program grew in popularity, an opportunity came about to move to the airport, and once again the base was closed and put up for sale.
The owner and I stood and chatted for some time as I filled him in on some aspects of the site's history. He wasn't sure at that point what he was going to do with the place, but was cleaning up a lot of the waste and debris that had accumulated over the last three decades. In the meantime, he indicated they would be there for another hour or so and that I was welcome to look around until they were ready to leave. Knowing the clock was ticking, we set out immediately to photograph as much of the site as possible.
As we walked about the base, the most prominent feature is, of course, the rows and rows of identical buildings. These are shelters that housed each individual missile. Upon getting the word to launch, the missile was prepared by ground crews, the roof split in two and slid out on rails before the launcher lifted the missiles from a horizontal position to vertical. When launched, rockets would fire lifting the missile from the ground and giving it an initial kick of speed. Then, having reached a speed of almost Mach 2.5, the missile engaged two RAM Jets for cruising toward the target. It was guided by radio signals from the SAGE computer system using tracking data from various radar sites. Once near its target, the missile would activate its own on-board radar to fine tune its terminal course.
When we had finished our look around, I returned to where the owner was working and informed him we were leaving. I offered my thanks for his indulgence and we went on our way. A slim chance paid off in ways I wouldn't have imagined and I was smiling quite broadly as we passed through the gates to Highway 11.

-the helicopter hangar was the former missile assembly hangar
-the cafeteria was the former base admin office
Sure brings back memories.

BOMARC Base
I used to live in the trailer park behind the base from '72 to '76 after it was decomissioned.
Was wondering what some of the buildings looked like. Thanx alot for this!

Bomarc Base
I too went to school here in the 70's. The large building held the classrooms for the Aircraft Maintenance and Avionics Maintenance students. I recall some guys saying they got into the underground facilities but I never saw it myself. I believe the current owner considered developing it into a museum or displays but the cost was too high.

Pit Area
The pit area was about 7' deep. Steel grating covered it. You would have to duck to walk around in it. It covered an electronic ELE panel, hydraulic pump and accumulator bank, erector base and area for the erector assembly to swing down into. It was just in the area at the rear end of the shelter.

Robert Leslie Odendahl- CA.E. Engineer At North Bay 1961-62
Thank you for your detailed site. I am transcribing my uncle's letters and he has mentioned his new job at the Bomarc Base. I was very interested to see the photos of a place where he spent some years of his life. This is an excerpt dated March 8 1961.
" As to what happens next, it seems that for the coming year at least I'll have to develop a personal interest in Bomarc Missiles, of all things. My current instructions are to show up at the Boing Aircraft Corp. plant in Seattle on July 10 for a period of training. Whenever this is accomplished I'll be proceeding to the partially completed Bomarc Base at North Bay, remaining there until 1962 or perhaps longer. C.A.E. is not performing the installation, but we have the contract to monitor the technical aspects of the operation and ensure they meet requirements. Such things as guidance and telemetering systems differ in many respects from conventional radar and communications apparatus, so that between now and July most of my time will be spent boning up on the necessary facts.

37th ADMS Kinchelo AFB, Sault Ste Marie, Michigan
I worked with the missiles and shelters from July 1968 till Jan. 1972. I loved every minute of it.
Some of my jobs were off loading and reloading the boost case engines, de-fueling and refueling the missiles,
And maintaining the shelters. The site was near a small town called Raco, MI, about 35 miles west of Kinchelo AFB, which was about 35 miles south of Sault Ste Marie, Michigan.

News feeds from Bark Busters
What is RSS?
RSS stands for "Really Simple Syndication" or "Rich Site Summary". RSS is a technology based on XML which facilitates the sharing of content such as news items between different web sites. RSS can be used to distribute website content from one source to many external websites and from multiple websites to one destination site.
Subscribe to the Bark Busters news feed
Why should I use RSS news feeds?
RSS news feeds allow you to see when your favourite websites have added new content. You can access the latest key information (like news headlines and summaries) in one place, as soon as they are published, without having to visit the websites you have taken the feed from.
Many RSS news readers (see below) also allow you to search your RSS news feed subscriptions and most allow you to customise your view of the feeds you receive. The end result is faster access to the most important information you need, using one consistent layout instead of many different website interfaces.
How can I use Bark Busters news feeds?
If you would like to subscribe to Bark Buster news feeds, the first thing you will need is some news reading software. A news reader can be accessed either as a downloadable application (for use on one computer) or as an online service (accessible from more than one computer). Most news readers are available free of charge.
Once you have access to a news reader, you will be able to subscribe to news feed on the Bark Busters website and any other RSS-compatible websites. As you browse the website, you will notice RSS icons, like the orange icon used in various places on this page. Wherever the RSS icon is used there will be a link to an RSS news feed.
By clicking on the icon or an associated link, you will be able to subscribe to the feed. Modern browsers will detect that you have clicked on an RSS feed and automatically start up your feed-reading software for you. Older browsers like Internet Explorer 6 may instead display the source code for the RSS feed. In such cases, you should either upgrade to the latest version of your browser or right-click on the link and copy the url of the RSS feed. This can then be pasted directly into your RSS reader application as a new feed.
Some browsers including Firefox, Safari and Opera automatically detect RSS feeds and display a clickable "subscribe to news feed" icon of their own. Please visit their websites to learn more about how these work.

JDT Core/Null Analysis
This page discusses a proposed improvement in the static null analysis of the JDT compiler.
See also bug 186342.
The static analysis of the JDT compiler detects many potential programming problems related to the null-ness of variables: dereferencing a null value (-> NPE), redundant null checks etc.
However, the current analysis is restricted to flow analysis within one method. No assumptions can be made about
- arguments flowing into a method
- return values from method calls and
- field reads.
In order to include these elements in the analysis one could either
- use whole program analysis (very expensive - not feasible for a (incremental) compiler)
- explicit contracts via an extended type system or annotations
The second option is well explored in research and some existing tools (like the Checker Framework, JML, FindBugs) already introduce specific annotations to this end.
One could argue that advanced analysis should be left to specialized tools but having something like this in the JDT compiler should show two benefits:
- feedback is more immediate and it is available for all JDT users without installing more software
- analysis might be more precise than some existing tools provide, because the actual flow analysis in the JDT compiler is already pretty strong (unproven claim).
A preparatory discussion of the design space can be found here: /Brainstorming.
Actual Strategy in the JDT
Disclaimer: this is work in progress. No promise is made that this particular feature will be part of any particular release of the JDT.
By default the JDT does not support inter-procedural null analysis, however, a prototype exists allowing the JDT to be configured to use annotations for extended null checking. The prototypical implementation is currently based on the OT/Equinox technology for better maintainability at this stage. This particular prototype is known to have negative impact on the compiler performance, which is however no indication about how the final in-place implementation will perform.
Specifying nullness
Null annotations in method signatures can be interpreted as null contracts, however, a more general approach considers null annotations as an extension of the type system. Eventually - that is once JSR 308 can be used - all type references should either include or exclude null, which allows for complete checking of any possible dereferencing of null. In other words, a fully annotated program which passes the type checker will never raise an NPE at runtime.
To achieve this guarantee two annotations are used. The specific annotations can be selected as a preference, but the following defaults are provided (see #Compiler configuration explained):
For any variable who's type is annotated with @NonNull (or the configured equivalent) the following rules apply:
- It is illegal to bind null or a value that can be null to the variable. (For fields and local variables this applies to initialization and assignments, for method argument binding a value means to pass an actual argument in a method call).
- It is legal and safe to dereference such a variable for accessing a field or a method of the bound object.
For any variable who's type is annotated with @Nullable (or the configured equivalent) the following rules apply:
- It is legal to bind null or a value that can be null to the variable (see details above).
- It is illegal to dereference such a variable for either field or method access.
The above rules imply that the value from a @NonNull variable can be bound to a variable annotated with @Nullable, but the opposite direction is generally illegal. Only immediately after an explicit null check can a @Nullable variable be treated as being @NonNull for the sake of binding to another @NonNull variable or for dereferencing.
For interaction with inheritance see Null Contract Inheritance.
Installing the prototype
- Get an Eclipse SDK 3.7 or use your favorite Indigo package.
- (no backport to helios, sorry)
- Some of the operations below (multi quickfixes) require lots of memory, you may want to add s.t. like
-Xmx800malready now
- Enter this update URL:
- Select and install these features:
- JDT Null Annotation Checker (Early Access)
- Object Teams Equinox Integration
The code is hosted at
- svn://dev.eclipse.org/svnroot/tools/org.eclipse.objectteams/trunk/contrib/org.eclipse.objectteams.jdt.nullity
Browse it at
- http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/viewvc.cgi/trunk/contrib/org.eclipse.objectteams.jdt.nullity/?root=TOOLS_OBJECTTEAMS
Example usage
In order to try the prototype against any existing Java project the following steps should help (I tried it using the JDT/Core as an example):
- Prepare the following compiler configuration
- enable compliance 1.5 or higher
- enable all null-related warnings
- (disable warnings regarding generics if the project doesn't use generics — don't spam the problems view)
- Import the example annotation types (source) from http://download.eclipse.org/objectteams/contrib/org.eclipse.jdt.annotations.zip
- Since there isn't yet any UI for the new compiler preferences the following line should be added manually into
- Define
@NonNullas the default at the granularity of your choice (project/package/type):
- project: add one more line to
- package: add a file
package-info.javawith contents like this:
@org.eclipse.jdt.annotation.NonNullByDefault package org.my.pack.age;
- type: add
@org.eclipse.jdt.annotation.NonNullByDefaultto the type declaration.
- project: add one more line to
- Build (Project > Clean)
- At this point you should see plenty of new errors and warnings
- If problems are not reported immediately, please try a full build (if this makes a difference please drop a note in bug 186342).
Cleaning up
When applying the new analysis to a big existing project, the sheer number of new problems may look intimidating but that's where quickfixes will come to the rescue. Currently the following problems offer a quickfix:
- Fixable for these locations: return statements:
- Note that the mentioned @NonNull declaration may be implicit via an applicable default
- In cases 2) and 3) use only with care: the compiler has no clear indication if @Nullable was actually intended or not
- The fix is:
- Fixable for these locations: read access to a method parameter
- The fix is:
- Otherwise a null check may indeed be unnecessary and should be deleted.
- Location: declaration of an overriding method
- Note again that the mentioned @NonNull declaration may be due to a default.
- Possible fixes are:
- Location: Parameter declaration of an overriding method
- The second form occurs when no null default applies at the scope of the super method.
- Possible fixes are:
- Location: Parameter declaration of an overriding method
- Quickfix is either of:
These quickfixes can be applied...
- individually (Ctrl-1)
- all occurrences per file (via the hover)
- all occurrences (via context menu in the Problems view)
Note, that some quickfixes require to modify another compilation unit (file) than the one where the problem was observed. For these quickfixes the current implementation doesn't support fixing several equal issues in bulk (for the technical background see bug 337977).
Compiler configuration explained
By default the JDT does not recognize any null annotations but it can be configured to do so. For this purpose these options are proposed:
- Previous versions of this proposal contained emulation and default import of annotation types, which may, however, not be supported by the final solution. See older versions of this page for details (≤ 20110226).
- Enable annotation based null analysis (enabled/disabled per project or workspace global).
- This is the master switch for everything described in this wiki page.
- The built-in default for this option is:
- Specify the names of annotation types to be used for marking nullable vs. nonnull types as well as for defining the default per type or per package.
- Use this if you want to achieve compatibility with annotations defined by some other tool (or a future standard, should one be defined eventually).
- The built-in default values for these options are:
- the final implementation in the JDT will not support setting the default to
- the final implementation in the JDT will not support setting the default to
- Define a global default for un-annotated entities (nonnull/
- Use this if your code has a bias to either @NonNull
or @Nullable. By defining a global default you save the effort of adding annotations to the majority of locations.
- There is no built-in default for this option. The option name is
- Use this if your code has a bias to either @NonNull
It is the user's responsibility to make the required annotation types available on the build path.
Defaults at different levels
If no null annotations are used, the compiler uses the original Java semantics, where the following is legal for all variables of reference types:
- assign
null, and
- dereference without check.
The above mentioned preference (
org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.annotation.nulldefault) allows to globally change this so that any declaration
to which no null annotation applies will be considered as either nullable or nonnull, depending on that specific setting.
For more fine-grained control two additional annotations can be used. The qualified type names of these annotations can be configured using these preferences:
The built-in values for these preferences are
org.eclipse.jdt.annotation.NullableByDefault and
- Update: while NullableByDefault is being dropped, we added an optional boolean parameter to
@NonNullByDefault, when set to false this causes the annotation to cancel a default that may possible apply at the current location. This is useful when, e.g., sub-classing a legacy class without null annotation, where the sub-class sits in a place that would otherwise apply non-null as the default, which would make all overrides incompatible with inherited methods.
These annotations can be applied to any Java type or package and affect all method returns and parameters with undefined null status within their scope. (More locations will be supported in the future).
A default declared at an outer scope can be overridden by a different default at an inner scope. However, no means are provided for canceling a default (as to re-establish the original Java semantics).
The following bugzillas address future improvements of the above strategy (order roughly by priority):
- bug 334455 - UI for new preferences regarding null annotations (plus a dup: bug 364815).
- bug 337977 - [quick fix] Add quickfixes for null annotations
- bug 334457 - [compiler][null] check compatibility of inherited null contracts
- bug 331647 - [compiler][null] support flexible default mechanism for null-annotations
- bug 331651 - [compiler][null] Support nullity profiles for libraries
- bug 331649 - [compiler][null] consider null annotations for fields

Girly But Not Cutesy
Anyhow...Ava will be three in a few months and moved out of a crib and into a "big girl" bed this summer. So it was the perfect time to switch rooms and redecorate. Ooh, redecorate! Ava told me that she wanted a princess room. Pretty typical for a two year old. But I just can't stand the thought of too many frills and Disney princesses. Since I have an obsession with fabric, I figured I could satisfy her taste for girly while keeping it sophisticated for my taste. And since she's not really old enough to object to my ideas...I win!
I decided that pink walls were OK. Not too pink though. I chose a Benjamin Moore Natura paint (No VOCs) in super light pink (forgive me, I forgot the exact color name). It's light enough that it almost looks white in bright sunlight which I find to be very nice.
My hubby and I have always like to collect original artwork so when it came to art for the kids' rooms, I had some great pieces to choose from. I really like the idea of instilling appreciation for art into the kids from an early age.
Side note: I took the kids to the the Lake Oswego Festival of the Arts this past summer and was so thrilled when Emerson, who is 6, decided he wanted to spend some of his money on art for his bedroom. Granted, he only had about $15, but he looked around and chose some cards and postcards to buy from artists that he liked. I let him make all the decisions and pay the artists. It was neat to see what art struck him.
So in Ava's room, I decided to hang a painting we bought back in 1999 in Minneapolis. I think it was at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design student art sale at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts. It was a long time ago. But we loved a piece called "oh poo poo" by Kurt Halsey. Who can resist a flying bunny pooing? Again, the bunnies - I just love them! It's such a great painting. Whenever we show it to someone new, they don't even notice the trail of rabbit poo until we tell them the painting name. The artist now lives in Portland, Oregon, I just learned. He's showing some of his work at a place in Portland called Sweetpea Baking Co. - I'm going to have to go check it out.
Another piece I have in Ava's room is a hand-embroidered wall hanging by a woman I met at the Craft-In in Newberg, Oregon, this past August. She and I were vendor neighbors. Her company is called bo betsy and she makes the cutest hand embroidered art. I was thrilled to get a wall hanging from her, and it looks great in Ava's room now.
I've also tried to put some special knickknacks in her room to counter the plethora of plastic toys and general junk kids accumulate. On the dress, she's got a wooden Pinocchio we bought in Italy in 2000, an antique book my mom gave her, a pair of wooden Dutch shoes from my great uncle, and a milk glass chicken from my grandmother. And though, the lamp isn't a family heirloom, my husband picked it up in an antique store many years ago and it definitely goes with the aesthetic I'm going for.
The room's not quite done yet. I'm waiting for Ava to finish potty training so I can get the huge changing table out and move in a toy chest I got for a steal at a garage sale this past summer (the hubby is anxiously waiting getting the "prime real estate" in the garage back).
I hope you enjoyed my little tour. Have a great weekend!

It's World Egg Month and Egg Farmers of Ontario are celebrating across the province sunny side up! Bloggers around the province were issued with the "French Toast Challenge" by the kind folks at Trillium Corporate Communications to get creative with the queen of breakfasts and brunches – French toast!
I have to be honest here and say that whilst I love the IDEA of French toast, I rarely order it mainly because it's always so huge that I never finish a portion. When I am out to brunch, I tend to stick to savoury items but always want a little something sweet at the end of the meal. Sadly, it's hard to order a "small" portion of French toast unless you are under 12 and qualify for the children's menu. So I got to thinking what would I like to order on a menu and came up with the idea of individual French toast puddings with a sweet surprise of maple-caramelized apples tucked in there amongst the custard and bread.
This recipe is actually just an adaptation of the recipe provided with the blogger challenge kit – a simple French toast topped with the maple-caramelized apples, developed by Dianne McComb, an egg farmer in Lucan, Ontario.
The ingredients are the exact same as you would find in French toast, only it's baked in small ramekins – no frying involved! That must make it healthy, right? 😉
Individual cinnamon spice French toast puddings with maple-caramelized apples
Individual French toast puddings - for when you can't finish a whole plate of French toast!
- 1 tbsp (15 mL) butter
- 3 apples, peeled and sliced thinly peeled
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 3 eggs
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla essence
- 1 tablespoon custard powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 3 slices day-old baguette or egg bread
- Heat the butter in a small saucepan.
- Add the apples and coat well with the butter. On a medium heat, cook them down until they are just slightly mushy.
- Add the maple syrup and turn up the heat to medium-high.
- Cook until most of the liquid has evaporated.
- Set aside.
- Pre-heat oven to 350˚F.
- Butter six 6oz ramekins
- Tear up the bread roughly and divide evenly amongst the ramekins.
- Divid the maple apples between the ramekins, placing both on and under the bread pieces.
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla, custard powder and spices.
- Pour the custard over the bread and apple mixture, only filling the ramekins about ¾ of the way up the side. The mixture will puff up when it cooks.
- Bake for about 35 minutes until the tops are golden brown.
- Dust with icing sugar and serve with maple syrup.
Gorgeous puffy little ramekins with just enough sweetness. These don't leave you feeling weighed down like regular French toast does!
The maple-caramelized apples are a lovely surprise to find in amongst the bread and custard and I imagine you could do this with pretty much any fruit for a different flavour. If you happen to have different flavoured compotes or jams about, you could use those as well. Or even fresh bananas – the possibilities are endless!
As part of World Egg Month, the Egg Farmers of Ontario have provided me with a $50 Cora gift card for one lucky reader! You can find all Cora's locations here.
If you are able to use a Cora's gift card, you can enter by finding out one fun fact about eggs from the Egg Farmers of Ontario website, then email me your fun fact!

(Edited to add: Thanks everyone for your fun Egg Facts! The contest is over and the winner will be announced on October 30th)
Disclosure: I was provided with a basket of ingredients necessary for preparing French toast. I was not compensated for writing this post and all opinions are 100% my own.

After I dug around in my scrap bin and pressed some scraps I cut out my pieces. I then drew a diagonal line on the star 2" squares.It wasn't long before I had the flying geese segments done. I am making 2 blocks here, one for me and one for Polly.
Once the star was pieced it was time to add the OVERSIZED triangles to the sides.
After I have 2 sides sewn on, I do trim the large dog-ears at this point.Now I add the last two sides and press. No more trimming!!!! Leave oversized and the dear folks at Moda will trim to size.As you see, what you have essentially made is a star block within a square. There is a lot of leeway here to trim to size. My block finishes just a bit over 10" square, but will be much smaller once trimmed. Have a great weekend, and try to fit in a block or two. This is where they need to be sent.

Geithner: Gov't could pass debt limit by mid-Feb.
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner is telling congressional leaders that the U.S. government will exhaust its borrowing limit as soon as mid-February, earlier than expected.
The government reached its $16.4 trillion borrowing limit on Dec. 31, but began using bookkeeping maneuvers to keep from surpassing it. In a letter to congressional leaders on Monday, Geithner says Treasury expects to exhaust those measures by mid-February to early March.
Geithner said he would provide a more precise estimate of when the government will reach that threshold once it moves closer to the deadline.
