Abstract
This paper describes the participation of FEUP, from the University of Porto, in the TREC 2009 Blog Track. FEUP participated in the faceted blog distillation task with work focused on the use of temporal features available in the new TREC Blogs08 collection. The approach presented in this paper uses the temporal information available in most individual posts to amplify (or reduce) each post's score. Blog scores, and subsequent ranks, are obtained by combining individual posts' scores. While preparing the runs, no endeavors were made to identify a priori any temporal differences between the three distinct facets.

Abstract
Good design and implementation are necessary but not sufficient pre-requisites for the successful reuse of object-oriented frameworks. Although not always recognized, good documentation is crucial for effective framework reuse but comes with many issues. Writing good quality documentation for a framework is often hard, costly, and tiresome, especially when not aware of its key problems and the best ways to address them. This document presents two of a set of related patterns that describe proven solutions to help non-experts on solving recurrent problems of documenting object-oriented frameworks. The patterns here presented address the problems of describing the customization points of the framework and how such customization is supported, respectively the patterns Customization Points and Design Internals.
