1. Requirements
The requirement is to have a new component to support auto-complete in multi entry fields. For example, autocomplete on airline names on the airlines search fields that support multiple airline codes.
The goal of this new widget is to accept several separated user entries, each time proposing the user with an auto-completion list when typing.
Here is the high level flow:
Entries are done according to the global flow described above.
In some cases (free-text configuration), unknown inputs are typed in by the user (no item was selected from the auto completion list), in which case, a separator character marks the end of the entry (comma by default, but should be configurable).
When many items has been entered, and there is no available space left, the widget then expands vertically and the items wrap on the following lines. The entered text should match all word boundaries of the suggestion list.( but should be configurable).
Pax/Segment selection
We want to use the widget to select passengers or segments.
Passengers/Segments can be referred to by their name: ie 'John Doe' or 'AA1899', or their short name ie 'P1' or 'S1'.
Passengers or Segments should be selectable by autocompletion with either the full name or the short name (P1, S1). Moreover, we should be able to select multiple elements using numeric ranges as it is done with the cryptic commands:
"P1-3" selects passengers 1, 2 and 3 "S2,5,6" selects segments 2, 5 and 6
The width of the element representing a passenger or segment should expand so that the name is fully displayed. If There are too many elements to display on a single line, the widget should scale vertically and add a second line. If a name is too long to be displayed on a single line, an ellipsis should be displayed.
Auto-complete vs drop-down
The widget should be usable with large amounts of data through auto-completion lists, as well as with small amounts of data through simple drop-downs.
If the widget is configured to work with a drop-down of say, airlines, then an Expand button is displayed on the right side of the widget to give the whole list of items. Selecting from this list add a new object in the field.
Edition relies on the fact that "graphical objects" can be selected.
After a few entries have been typed, the user can go back and edit any of them in the following way.
"Graphical objects" have a close icon on the right side, clicking on it removes the entry.
"Graphical objects" can be clicked on once to be selected, and at the second click become editable (focus is given into the individual auto-complete field). At this stage, the text in the field can be erased and typed again just like with any singular auto-complete.
The edition can also be done via the keyboard:
Error Handling
The widget's field can be displayed in error state if there is a validation error, as seen below:
The normal AriaTemplates validation mechanism should apply to the widget: developers should be able to specify custom validation such as the maximum/minimum number of items, detection for duplicates, etc ...
On top of this, one type of validation at object level needs to be supported: when the widget is configured not to accept free-text, then the user may still type something that is not proposed by the completion list, ending by comma, however, in this case the invalid entry is marked by an error tip (located just above the entry), as shown below:
The normal AriaTemplates validation mechanism should apply to the widget: developers should be able to specify custom validation such as the maximum/minimum number of items, detection for duplicates, etc ...
We should be able to validate user input (number of items, etc) at the time the user hits enter to trigger the form submission. Then we should be able to display an error tooltip with a custom message if validation fails.
Technical Solution
Multi AutoComplete Part
Create a new widget called MultiAutoComplete which has a similar behaviour like autocomplete, in addition it has option to add multiple values with range supported.
Widget API
{@aria:MultiAutoComplete {
The Widget generates the below markup.
<span style="width:280px;margin:1px;" class="xWidget" atdelegate="d81" id="w17">
Value of Autocomplete
Multi AutoComplete Edit
Multi Autocomplete Controller
The Multi Autocomplete Controller module handle the resource handlers, rendering of the suggestion template depending on the user interaction. Multi Autocomplete Controller handles the content and functionality similar to the AutocompleteController and MultiselectController and shares the similar behaviour. The expando button behaviour is handled by controller such that on click of button all suggestions will be shown along with checkboxes with 'select all', 'deselect all', 'close' links. Already selected values will be checked.
Handling of Ellipsis
Multiautpcomplete handler also handles ellipsis if the width of the selected value is wider than autocomplete width through
Key Board and Mouse Interaction
Source for MultiAutocomplete is handled by MultiAutocompleteHandler which extends the LCResourcesHandler. This handler should implement the IMultiResourceHandler Interface.
It also handles selecting the range of values. The range of value is handled by _getRangeSuggestions method which accepts the character only in the format P1-4 or P1,2,4 parses them to show the suggestions list having the range selected.

If you build it, he will come.
This year, a $27 million bridge was built between Sterling and Rock Falls.
Sure enough, Gov. Pat Quinn came to the Twin Cities Monday to help dedicate it.
As well he should have.
More than 3 years ago, Quinn signed a capital construction bill that gave the state the resources it needed to begin fixing its crumbling transportation infrastructure. You'll recall that no capital bill had been passed in the previous 10 years, and across the state, it showed.
Money from that program helped to finance the First Avenue Bridge reconstruction project – one of hundreds needed across the state.
"We've built over 1,000 bridges in the last 3 years," Quinn told dignitaries and the public who assembled at Rock Falls' Bowman Park.
With the new bridge visible in the background, the governor called on Illinoisans and Americans to continue to be "bridge builders," particularly after a divisive election campaign.
And what a bridge it is.
"This is a great bridge," Quinn said. "It allows for bicycling and pedestrians. It's 21st century safe, and I think we have to do that over and over again in Illinois, and this is a good model for other communities across the state to understand how we have to invest in our bridges."
Quinn also praised Sterling Mayor Skip Lee and Rock Falls Mayor David Blanton.
"I really like the fact that Sterling and Rock Falls worked together – one community, two cities – and so, I was really moved by that, and I wanted to come and celebrate with everybody," he said.
Left out of the public comments was the fact that Sterling owns the bridge, and Rock Falls city officials declined Sterling's invitation to help pay for its reconstruction.
But at this point, that's water under the bridge (pun intended).
Blanton remarked, "It's going to be a great asset for both cities."
Lee was a bit more effusive: "This is more than just a bridge. This is the impetus for us to get down to serious work here in Sterling-Rock Falls and get this area developed. We've been through some tough times, but all we need is this beautiful bridge to be a reminder that from that which is old and worn out can come things which are wonderful. I look forward to many, many more projects in the future."
Quinn, who doesn't make it a habit to visit Sterling-Rock Falls, had one more turn at the microphone.
"I think what Mayor Lee just said is really important. Human beings want to live and work near water and the Rock River, a mighty river, a very important river, and we want to make sure the bridges over the river are safe. …
"We have work to do. We have to keep investing if we're going to be a strong state. ...
"So we're right here in Sterling-Rock Falls to say we're going forward. We, the people, we're going to keep on building bridges and roads and make Illinois a better place."
State Rep. Jerry Mitchell, R-Sterling, who went through two other bridge rebuilds in Dixon, praised the cities for their cooperation and patience, as well as Civil Construction, the contractors and workers.
"It's an absolutely fantastic structure. It looks absolutely beautiful at night," he said.
People who have driven across since the bridge's Oct. 15 opening would heartily agree.
We add our praise for the builders, the state and the municipalities. Nice job, one and all.
We hope the bridge is a symbol for how the cities can work more closely together.
And to Gov. Quinn, we say, Don't be a stranger. One new bridge does not the entire Sauk Valley make. Come back and see what else we have.

-With three wins in the Columbia Regional, Maryland improved to 4-6 all-time in the NCAA Tournament. Its 3-0 mark in Columbia captured Maryland's first regional title in school history.
-Maryland's 4-3 win over South Carolina Saturday ended a 28-game home postseason winning streak and handed the Gamecocks their first ever postseason loss at Carolina Stadium. USC entered the weekend 16-0 at Carolina Stadium in postseason action.
-The Terps had five players named to the Columbia All-Regional Team led by centerfielder Charlie White, who was named the regional's most outstanding player. White was joined by Jose Cuas (third base), Kevin Martir (catcher),Mike Shawaryn (pitcher) and LaMonte Wade (first base).
-Charlie White hit .545 (6-for-11) in the regional with a double, four runs scored and two RBI including a single to center to score the Terps' first run in their ninth-inning comeback against Old Dominion.
-Right hander Mike Shawaryn earned his ACC-leading 11th victory of the season Saturday against the Gamecocks. Shawaryn's win total is tied for 12th nationally and is a Maryland single-season record. Shawaryn, along with second base Brandon Lowe, earned Collegiate Baseball newspaper Freshman All-American honors Wednesday.
-Terrapin ace Jake Stinnett struck out seven Old Dominion batters Friday to increase his season total to 130. Stinnett passed Steve Schmoll (124 Ks, 2003) for first on Maryland's single-season strikeout list. Stinnett leads the ACC in strikeouts and ranks third nationally.
-Catcher Kevin Martir was a large part of Maryland's surge in May. The catcher led the team in hitting (.400), slugging (.620) and on-base percentage (.492). He had 10 RBI in 15 games to along with two doubles and three home runs. Martir is currently riding a career-long 13-game hitting streak.
-Closer Kevin Mooney earned his 12th save of the season in Saturday's win over USC. Mooney is one save shy of Brett Cecil's single-season record of 13 (2006). He is two saves shy of Cecil's career record of 23.

I'm playing Godseekers and while I like it, it is not like DT. If your looking for a game strong in tactics then I wouldn't recommend it, it is more a DW type tone. The only challenge (even on hard) really is in story/characters where a setplay ambush or something (or simply some super high level figures) can force readjustment of your plans but even then a well placed synchro attack pretty much wipes out anything
Not sure if it is helpful but Dynasty Tactics 2 is on the PS3 PSN store but for some reason not the PS4 PSN store. I have no idea why the stores are so different with content though.

Black Eyed Peas star Will.i.am is seen holding onto his BlackBerry Torch while running with the Olympic Torch! The question is, what can he possibly be doing on his BB Torch? Any guesses?
Here is a snippet of info about Will.i.am from Wiki:
William James Adams, Jr. (born March 15, 1975), better known by his stage name will.i.am ("will I am") is an American rapper, musician, songwriter, singer, entrepreneur, actor, DJ and producer.He came to prominence in the late 1990s as a member of the hip hop group The Black Eyed Peas. The group consists of rappers will.i.am, apl.de.ap, and Taboo, and singer Fergie. Since the release of their third album Elephunk in 2003, the group has sold an estimated 56 million records worldwide. Their first worldwide song was "Where Is the Love?" in 2003, which topped 13 charts worldwide. Another single was the European hit "Shut Up". Their next album Monkey Business, was a worldwide success, certified 4× Platinum in the U.S., and spawning two singles, "My Humps" and "Don't Phunk with My Heart". In 2009, the group became one of only 11 artists to have simultaneously held the No. 1 and No. 2 spots on theBillboard Hot 100, with their singles "Boom Boom Pow" and "I Gotta Feeling"; which topped the chart for an unprecedented 26 consecutive weeks in 2009. The album later produced a third Hot 100 number-one placement with "Imma Be", making the group one of few to ever place three number one singles on the chart from the same album before being followed with "Rock That Body" and "Meet Me Halfway" which managed to peak in the Top 10 of Hot 100. "I Gotta Feeling" became the first single to sell more than 1 million downloads in the United Kingdom. The Black Eyed Peas were ranked 12th on the Billboard's Decade-End Chart Artist of the Decade, and 7th in the Hot 100 Artists of the Decade.On the 52nd Grammy Awards ceremony, which held in January, 2010 they won 3 awards out of 6 nominations. In November 2010, they released the album The Beginning. In February 2011, the group performed at the Super Bowl XLV halftime show. The album's first two singles "The Time (Dirty Bit)" and "Just Can't Get Enough" became international hits and topped the charts in many countries. In July 2011, during their promotional tour the group announced that they are taking a break and have denied rumors that the band has broken up.
Will.i.am has also release four solo albums. The first Lost Change was released in 2001 on Atlantic Records. The album itself is the original soundtrack to the movie of the same name. A music video was made for the song, "I Am", however, no singles were released from the album. The second solo album Must B 21, was released on September 23, 2003. Track seventeen on the release, "Go!", was regularly used as the theme for the NBA Live 2005 and Madden NFL 2005 seasons. A video for the track was also recorded for use within the sports, however, no singles were released from the album. The third album Songs About Girls, was released on September 25, 2007. The first single released from the album was a club track titled "I Got It from My Mama" which peaked on the Billboard Hot 100 at #31 on the 17th of August 2007. The album also featured singles "Heartbreaker" and "One More Chance". #willpower is the upcoming, fourth studio album.
Will.i.am is also a music producer, he has produced with other artists including Michael Jackson, Justin Bieber, Eazy-E, Britney Spears, U2, Rihanna, Usher, Justin Timberlake, Earth, Wind & Fire, Nicki Minaj, Cheryl Cole, 2NE1, SMAP, The Game, Nas, Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, Daddy Yankee, Wolfgang Gartner, and Juanes.

Pekin man went for early morning swim in Illinois River and disappeared under the water, witnesses said
A team of Peoria rescue divers pulled the body of a 32-year-old Pekin man from the Illinois River Wednesday morning, about nine hours after he disappeared during a late night swim. The body of Gregory L. Johnson, 13688 First St., was discovered about 9:30 a.m. about 20 feet from the shore near the John T. McNaughton Bridge in Pekin. Johnson was seen swimming in the area about 12:45 a.m., said Chris Bitner, an investigator with the Pekin police. Witnesses said he bobbed up and down and then disappeared underwater. Tazewell County Coroner Dennis Conover said an autopsy Wednesday afternoon showed Johnson drowned. No foul play is suspected. The Peoria County Underwater Rescue Team first began searching for Johnson at 1:30 a.m. Pekin fire and police departments assisted in the search. Morning storms delayed the effort about 3:30 a.m., but the search resumed about 8 a.m. Conover said he could not comment on what might have caused Johnson to drown, but he said his office would investigate the possibility that alcohol was involved. The area where Johnson was last seen at the foot of Court Street has a reputation as a party spot, Conover said. "That is a place where it seems like there's a lot of alcohol consumed," he said. Conover said it would be at least two weeks before toxicology reports are returned. An inquest will be scheduled at a later date. A group of witnesses initially shouted for Johnson to get out of the water, Conover said, but the swimmer apparently did not comply. Once it was evident Johnson was in trouble, one of the bystanders jumped in to help but was unsuccessful. Joe Crawford can be reached at (309) 686-3251 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

I like the idea of an American Secular Party to compete with the two establishment parties that, as predicted by Washington himself, will destroy America. To me, the instilling of irrational belief in children -- essentially indoctrination into belief at the sake of reason -- is central to the Party plank. Keeping Jesus out of the schools by disallowance of vouchers to evil Popes and their evangelical ilk stateside, wold be a Top Ten plank positions. Taking "God" off coins and absent from the Pledge. Things like that. I see Judeo-Christian, and mostly Christian dogma guiding far too many institutions and taking us backward into ancient history rather than looking toward the Dawn of World Enlightenment and True Freedom from The Priesthood.
Eghp! all my other wall comments pale in comparison to:
Fine sentiments but falling on deaf ears in King's hands.

May 8th - May 12th This week honors those hard working, patient and understanding people whom we entrust our children to. Teachers help shape our kids in a positive direction, and affect who they are and who they become.
Thank you teachers for all you do!
Please see the list of ideas below on ways to express your appreciation for all their hard work!
The simple spoken words of "Thank you" can go a long way. Teachers are very grateful to feel that their work is valued and appreciated. Try a simple thank you next time you see your child's teacher, or better yet, write them a thank you card.
Next time you have extra baked goods, wrap them up and send them in with your child to give to their teacher. This little extra treat can really make a teachers day.
Every teacher can use some help in their classroom. Even if you think you are too busy with your work and home schedule all you really have to do is take an hour or so out of your day once a month to show that you care. And research has proved that it helps your child succeed in school. So, it's a win-win situation!
Technology makes it so easy these days to show that you are thinking about someone. As soon as you have a thought, you can simply send a quick text or email and instantly the other person can know that you are thinking of them. Try sending a quick note thanking them for a skill your child learned, or the wonderful craft your child brought home. Anything to show them that their work is valued and that you have noticed.
Teachers are always running out of classroom supplies. Usually when this happens they have to use their own money to pay for them. Ask the teacher what they are running out of, and offer to send some more in. They will appreciate it more than you know.
One of the best gifts that you can give a teacher is a gift card. This simple and cheap gift is a great way to show a teacher that you care.
Who doesn't like it when someone brags about them? Anytime that you see an opportunity to boast about your child's teachers to another teacher, school staff member, or even the Director, then do it. Teachers spend all of their day in the classroom and many times no one realizes how great they are! Just a little shout out is all you need to do to make your child's teacher happy.
Be involved in everything that your child does that has to do with their education, your child's teacher will notice and be grateful. Listen to them, read at night, show up to every parent-teacher conference and ask questions. By doing so, you're showing your child's teacher that you know that their job is important and you're taking the time to reinforce whatever they have learned in school, at home.
This is by far the best way to make a teacher happy. When you show your child that you respect their teacher, then so will they. If a child sees you talking bad about their teacher to other people, then they will think that you do not respect them, and in turn they will not. Respect is an essential component of teaching and learning in the classroom. So make sure to always show them the respect that they deserve.
As teachers, we can appreciate this list. Most teachers are parents themselves and sometimes forget how important their job really is. At the end of day, the best way to keep a teacher happy is to let them do their job, show them they are valued with a simple thank you, and respect them for who they are and what they are doing for your child.
During the Month of May
Please check with your child's teacher to schedule a date and time.
Common Questions to Ask:
What are my child's strengths?
In what areas does he/she need improvement?
How does my child do socially?
Does my child seem engaged?
What more can I do to help?

In the week since Asiana Flight 214 crash landed at San Francisco International Airport, the on-scene face of the government has been National Transportation Safety Board Chairman Deborah Hersman, a blunt-talking investigator known for her poise and orderliness.
She doesn't fly planes, but she's the daughter of a Vietnam War fighter pilot and surrounds herself with expert airmen. She has a motorcycle license, but doesn't ride, because, as a 43-year-old mother of three boys, "I try to minimize the risks," she told NBC Bay Area's Raj Mathai.
Her job requires her to show up at the sites of major air, rail and motor vehicle accidents. So seeing her in town often means something has gone wrong. But "I don't want people to think I'm associated with disasters," Hersman said.
There is an uplifting part of her job, she said: getting to see people respond to catastrophe in heroic and selfless ways -- San Franciscans included.
"Sometimes we see the very best of communities, the very best of people in these difficult circumstances, and I can tell you that I've certainly seen some of that here," she said.
Hersman has been an unmistakable force at the NTSB since she first arrived as a 39-year-old in 2004, a West Virginia-born Democrat nominated to the post by Republican President George W. Bush. President Barack Obama, a Democrat, reappointed her to a five-year term and named her chairman. During her tenure, she has overseen investigations of several major accidents, including the 2009 collision of two Metro trains in Washington, D.C., the fire inside a Boeing 787 Dreamliner in Boston and the 2009 crash of a Colgan Air commuter plane near Buffalo. In each instance, she has showed a fearlessness in facing down the transportation industry and rival government agencies. She has irritated critics for her outspoken critique of safety lapses, and for the details she releases to the press.
The aggrieved include the Air Lines Pilots Association, which said this week it was "stunned by the amount of detailed operational data from on-board recorders" from Flight 214 released by the board "so soon into the investigation."
Hersman is unapologetic, but she also says she's looking for ways to do her job better. She says she listens to those around her.
"I learn from people who have more knowledge than I do," she said.
Hersman's background is on Capitol Hill, where she served as a senior aide to West Virginia Rep. Bob Wise and as a senior adviser to the U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation. That's where she sharpened her skills as a bureaucrat, but also as a safety advocate, helping draft legislation overseeing the operation of motor carriers, pipelines and Amtrak.
Although she's known for her openness, Hersman stressed that it's too early to talk about what caused the July 6 crash in San Francisco.
"I know it feel like a long time for people, but we want to make sure we have a really full picture of what happened here before we reach any conclusions," she said.
That could take as long as a year.
But she added that if any safety issues arise before then, she and the board will be quick to issue recommendations on how to avoid similar accidents.
"This is obviously a high priority for us and we're going to be focusing a lot of resources on it and to get it done as quickly as possible," Hersman said.

Poetry and Pragmatism
Harvard University Press, 1992 M01 1 - 228 páginas
Richard Poirier, one of America's most eminent critics, reveals in this book the creative but mostly hidden alliance between American pragmatism and American poetry. He brilliantly traces pragmatism as a philosophical and literary practice grounded in a linguistic skepticism that runs from Emerson and William James to the work of Robert Frost, Gertrude Stein, and Wallace Stevens, and on to the cultural debates of today.
More powerfully than ever before, Poirier shows that pragmatism had its start in Emerson, the great example to all his successors of how it is possible to redeem even as you set out to change the literature of the past. Poirier demonstrates that Emerson--and later William James--were essentially philosophers of language, and that it is language that embodies our cultural past, an inheritance to be struggled with, and transformed, before being handed on to future generations. He maintains that in Emersonian pragmatist writing, any loss--personal or cultural--gives way to a quest for what he calls "superfluousness," a kind of rhetorical excess by which powerfully creative individuals try to elude deprivation and stasis. In a wide-ranging meditation on what James called "the vague," Poirier extols the authentic voice of individualism, which, he argues, is tentative and casual rather than aggressive and dogmatic. The concluding chapters describe the possibilities for criticism created by this radically different understanding of reading and writing, which are nothing less than a reinvention of literary tradition itself.
Poirier's discovery of this tradition illuminates the work of many of the most important figures in American philosophy and poetry. His reanimation of pragmatism also calls for a redirection of contemporary criticism, so that readers inside as well as outside the academy can begin to respond to poetic language as the source of meaning, not to meaning as the source of language.

Protesters Vows to Push on Police Shootings
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Critics of Albuquerque police promise to crowd another city council meeting over recent police shootings just days after rowdy demonstrators forced councilors to flee.
Nora Tachias-Anaya, a local activist, says protesters are planning to attend a rescheduled council meeting Thursday and will not stop criticizing the Albuquerque Police Department.
On Monday, angry demonstrators took over the regularly scheduled city council meeting, chanting for the ouster of the police chief, shouting at council members and causing so much disruption that the city council president adjourned the meeting.
The council was to discuss whether the police chief's position should be one selected by the council or by voters.
Albuquerque police are under tough scrutiny following a harsh report from the U.S. Justice Department over the use of force.
Police shot and killed a man barricaded in his home Saturday after long standoff.

Perfect Sleep Red Band Trailer (2009)
Think of the hard-boiled world of film noir: the world of Dashiell Hammett's Sam Spade, a world of femme fatales, a world of shadows. Now imagine this world populated with characters from tragic Russian novels like those by Dostoevsky: tormented figures suffering through harsh circumstance. This unique world provides the foundation for the dark and vivid dreamscape of "The Perfect Sleep."
In a timeless city, a man with no name returns to the violent, brutal domain of assassins he left ten years before – back when they dubbed him The Mad Monk for his disregard for his own life and his intense devotion to one woman, Porphyria; a beautiful, luminescent woman; the girl he grew up with; the love of his life; the one thing he has ever wanted; the one thing he can never have.
There is no discernible reason for him to come back to this ruthless city, save one. She still lives here, she is in danger, and he – a man gifted in the art of killing – may be the only one who can save her. Waiting for him are deadly men who would like nothing more than to see him die a painful death. Standing at their forefront is the formidable Nikolai, the man who raised him and just might be his father.
To protect Porphyria, this unnamed man will return to a life of torment and torture. He will face off against the father figure he turned his back on so many years ago. He will revisit this existence full of people imprisoned by their desire, their history, and their very blood; a world where the only thing keeping you from happiness is yourself, the world of The Perfect Sleep.

NBA commissioner to force Clippers owner to sell team as Bucks await sale approval
It's been nearly two decades since a major sports owner has been banned for life from his or her league.
Former Cincinnati Reds owner Marge Schott was suspended for life from baseball for stating her support for Adolf Hitler back in 1996.
On Tuesday, in the harshest punishment ever handed down by the NBA, new Commissioner Adam Silver lowered the boom on Clippers owner Donald Sterling, not only banning him for life, but also forcing him to sell the team.
Fox News' Jim Gray is reporting Sterling has no plans to sell the Clippers.
Sterling is immediately banned from attending any NBA games or practices, and he can't be present at any Clippers office or facility. He also can't take part in any business or player personnel decisions.
Silver also fined Sterling the league maximum $2.5 million.
"I am personally distraught that the views expressed by Mr. Sterling came from within an institution that has historically taken such a leadership role in matters of race relations and caused current and former players, coaches, fans, and partners of the NBA to question their various associations with the league," Silver said.
This happens at an interesting time for the Milwaukee Bucks, who are in the midst of their own pending sale.
The team and current owner Herb Kohl released a statement saying, "We denounce the offensive, racist comments made by Mr. Sterling, and we stand with the actions Commissioner Silver has taken against him."
The sale of the Bucks of to Marc Lasry and Wesley Edens is still awaiting league approval.
A team spokesman said there's no indication that the situation with the Clippers and their owner would delay the pending Bucks sale.
As for the impact of the Sterling penalty on the Bucks owners and the entire league, the director of the National Sports Law Institute at the Marquette University law school told WISN 12 News reporter Kent Wainscott the commissioner is setting the tone for the future.
"It sets a pretty clear standard that conduct that rises to this level would justify a lifetime ban," Matt Mitten said.
Mitten said any future issues involving owners in any sport may use this as a guideline.
Wainscott also reached out to MLB Commissioner Bud Selig, who has had to deal with some difficult ownership issues and suspensions over the years.
But a spokesman told Wainscott the commissioner doesn't have any comment on the NBA situation at this point.
A Bucks spokesman said he does not believe that Kohl was contacted by the commissioner.
That sale of the Bucks still needs to be approved by the NBA board of governors.

Maybe we should ask for a thread about this, kinda have a survey to see how many were actually ok with it cos I haven't heard one person who seems ok with it.

I speak multiple times throughout the year, mostly workshops for students (5-50 students), but also larger (100+ in the audience) special events like university Open Houses & Freshmen Orientations (students & their parents). I've also given teachings at my church several times.It's wonderful to be at that point where speaking doesn't make you nervous, and even better that you can put your finger on this more subtle issue, Dalene--many speakers fall into this mode and never come out of it. Whether you've had some subtle feedback from your audiences or just have a good gut sense that something's amiss with your speaker presence, it sounds like it's time to rethink your approach. Here are some ideas for rethinking what you're doing and refreshing your presentation style to make sure you stay professional:
I have gotten so used to speaking in front of groups that I no longer get nervous. My problem is that I think the reverse has happened: I may be too casual about my approach. Perhaps it is because my audience is typically 17-22 year-olds, who sometimes show up in their pjs or torn-up jeans? I guess I am looking for ways in which I can be sure to stay professional - no matter my audience.
- Take the time to assess the presence you want to have as a speaker: Here are a half-dozen questions to ask yourself about how you want to be seen by your audiences. Advisors do need to be approachable, for example, but do you also want to look authoritative, reliable, trustworthy? Figure out the qualities you want to convey, then assess whether you're doing that now.
- Don't underestimate your audience. Sure, the students show up in pajamas. But these are our future doctors, dentists, veterinarians--and as one who trains scientists and medical professionals in presentation skills, I can tell you they can't start learning too early. Give them a good example of what it means to be professional at presenting, and tell them that's what you're doing. When I get feedback from my workshops that says "I really enjoyed Denise's confidence when she was walking around the tables and answering to some "tough" questions and comments. Hope at some point I'll get that level of self-confidence!" or "Denise is a great role model for how to implement these techniques effectively," I'm reminded how important it is for presenters to take the time to model the best methods when speaking.
- Get video of your current approach and analyze it. Then use my list of 8 things to look for when your speech is recorded to figure out what needs a change, correction or complete overhaul. In this case, let me also suggest that you consider whether you are surprised by anything you see. Does the visual match with what you think you were putting across? Ask a friend to record you or set up a camera and tripod yourself; friends also can help you assess the video and share what they see that you may want to change.
- Use feedback forms. Students, usually the target of critique themselves, are not shy about sharing feedback. Craft a simple feedback form for them to fill out--it tells them you're paying attention to their needs and may give you clues you hadn't considered about what can be improved.
- Switch it up. Experiment with small changes that may help to bring your presenting style into clearer focus--and make you less complacent or bored with what you're doing. Try a more dynamic beginning and make sure you're not losing your advantages right at the start. Do something that requires audience participation. If you normally dress casually, make sure you wear a suit on days you're presenting. Use a prop as the focus for your talk. Take the time to craft a three-point message and work on carrying it through the entire presentation. Switch one thing at a time and assess the results, then try more until you've hit on a new formula that works for you.

¿Que Hora Es?
If there's one problem that baseball management and the Republican party have in common, it's in trying to relate to hispanics. And whether it's cultural differences, the language barrier or continued attempts to push everyone with a hispanic sounding last name out of the country, the problem won't be going away anytime soon.
However, we here at RSBS prefer to be part of the solution so we have a suggestion for both the GOP and MLB front offices. The answer is "education." If you don't at least make an effort to understand the culture and the language, you're going to find yourself on the wrong end of the bat nine times out of ten. I'm not saying you need to learn how to merengue or be able to tell the difference between a Venezuelan and Mexican accent, but you should at least have some basic level of understanding.
Now, I realize that with the end of season approaching and the general election in full swing, neither Republicans nor baseball's movers and shakers have much extra time on their hands. Luckily, YouTube has once again come to the rescue. Give it a try and see if you don't notice your multicultural empathy meter running over within minutes:[youtube http://youtu.be/4cKGyOE_jOI]
It couldn't be any simpler. All you need to know is, "¿Que hora es?"

Shroud Hearth Barrow
Shroud Hearth Barrow is a tomb located in Eastern Skyrim. You can find it just outside of Ivarstead.
The tomb ends at a door that requires the Sapphire Dragon Claw to open. You can receive the claw key by completing the Investigate Shroud Hearth Barrow miscellaneous objective.
Once you've received the key, you can use it to open the door and gain access to the rest of the dungeon, which is fairly extensive and filled with quite a few puzzles. The solution for the dragon claw door (from top down) is moth, owl, wolf.
As you proceed through the dungeon you'll eventually find yourself at the bottom of a winding stairwell. There is a trapdoor here into the water. There is some loot in the water, and a chain on the opposite wall that will close the trap.
If you head all the way to the top of the stairs you'll find a locked door (master). Behind it is a locked chest (expert) with some of the best loot you're going to find in this dungeon. Take it or leave it then head halfway back down the stairs and open the door. Pause for a minute until the booby trap arrows stop flying, and head through.
At the bottom of the short stairs is a pressure plate with another booby trap. Head down the next set of stairs and you find yourself in a room with some raised bridges, and a treasure room that you can see through a hole in a closed door. To get into the treasure room you'll need to find and activate two handles. The first is to the left of the door you just came through (next to a coffin in the wall). The second is around the corner to the right next to a coffin.
Grab what you want from the treasure room then head out and clear the skeletons out of the room below you. This can easily be done from above with magic or archery, or you can do it the fun way - directly above the pool is a chandelier with two pots hanging from it. You can throw flames at the pots (or possibly use archery?) to drop them into the pool below, setting the pool on fire and presumably doing away with the skeletons.
It is unclear if there is a way to lower these bridges, or what the value of lowering them might be.
Head down the stairs, then back up the opposite set of stairs, through the iron door and continue on. Eventually you will come down into a waterway, with water rushing into a closed iron gate. There is a pull chain to the right of the gate. Under the water is a skeleton and a coin purse. If you follow the waterway upstream it leads to a waterfall, which you can walk into for some not too exciting loot.
Head up the log stairs into a room with a raised bridge, a pressure plate, and four 3 sided pillars with animal insignias on each side, which can be turned by activating them. To find the correct pillar alignments, head into the next room and step on the pressure plate you find there. Stay on it long enough for the stone doors to rotate open and reveal the answers. Once you've have the correct animals on each pillar, step on the pressure plate to lower the bridge.
Across that the bridge there is a locked iron door on the right. Inside you'll find a gold ingot. If you take the ingot be warned that it is sitting on a pressure plate that activates a stream of fire.
Continue down through the door into Shroud Hearth Depths, and be prepared for a slew of draugrs. Clear the room then head into the next where you'll find a chest with some significant weapons and loot.
Past the chest is a wall with a word for the Kyne's Peace shout. Learn the word, then head to right and through the door.
In the next room, pull the chain to the right of the stone door, head down the passageway and pull another chain to get through another stone door. You'll eventually find yourself back in the room where you found the journal.

★ All of my custom blended polishes are made with a special 3-free base [Toluene, Formaldehyde & Dibutyl Phthalate (DBP) Free] that will suspend glitter [glitter won't all fall to the bottom].I've found all of these statements to be true! This is one easily applied coat of JENsations Rainbow Sprinkles over Zoya Paloma. Rainbow Sprinkles is a mix of multi-sized red, purple, green, yellow, orange, white, pink & blue matte hexagon & square glitter in a clear base with an excellent formula. No need to fish for glitter in the bottle & brushes on in one nice thin coat.
★ All glitters used are solvent resistant [glitter won't bleed into polish]. On rare occasion I use a bleeding glitter on purpose to get the perfect shade of base, but it will be noted.
★ All polishes come inside a unique star shaped bottle. 10 ml in size. Contrary to popular believe they are easy to store.
★ Each bottle contains two stainless steel ball bearings [they will not rust or affect your polish] for easy shaking. Pigments & glitters tend to settle over time so please shake gently =)
★ Each bottle is custom made with my very own two hands so there may be a slight variation in each bottle.
Sells for $8 at her Etsy store. She has many other intriguing glitter polish to choose from too. I've got my eye on Santa I've Been Naughty.
This polish was sent to me for review. All opinions are my own & were not influenced by JENsations! For more information you can read my disclosure policy.

Hi, need some help with this one. All I was asked was to find out if the three points are on the same line. I think that works. But I decided to go a little farther and try getting the equations of the relevant lines. That is where I am going wrong. All that is written in the Eclipse ( my IDE) console is the slopes or what I think is the slopes! Can anyone help please? By the way, this is revision. But I am very rusty and have never been a "Ace" programmer. Something I am trying to fix. Thanks in advance for any help given.

The Central Connecticut women's soccer team clinched an NEC Tournament berth on Sunday afternoon with its 3-1 win over the Wagner Seahawks. Junior Kerriann Welch tied up the match early in the second period, senior Rachel Cerrone scored the game-winner off a free kick and freshman Kelly Halligan added the insurance goal for the win.
With the victory, CCSU is now 5-3 in NEC play and will enter the 2013 Northeast Conference tournament as the fourth seeded team.
Wagner was the first to score in the match, netting the first goal of the game just before halftime in the 41st minute of play. CCSU entered the locker room down by one at the half.
For the second-straight game, Welch came out in the second period and scored the tying goal. Welch was assisted by a long pass from senior Nikki Kureczka.
The squads battled throughout the half looking to gain the edge but it wasn't until a free kick from Cerrone from outside the box found its way to the back of the net that the Blue Devils took the lead.
CCSU secured the win just over one minute later when Halligan scored her first career goal from just off of the right post. Halligan received the ball off of a tip from Welch. Freshman Morgan Santoro also earned an assist on the play.
The Central defense held strong, limiting the Seahawks to just 10 shots. The Blue Devils posted 19 shots, 11 of which were on goal.
Senior goalkeeper Nikola Deiter tallied eight saves on the day, bringing her season total to 84.
The Blue Devils will travel to Loretto, PA on Friday to compete in the semifinal round of the 2013 NEC Championships hosted by Saint Francis U.

After months of looking, reading, and poking around I've come to the conclusion that if I want a boat that ticks all my marks I am going to have to build it myself.
- Able to sleep 2.5 people in relative comfort.
- easily trailerable by either of our SUV's (max tow capacity of 3500 for my Montero).
- Able to be beached.
- Can hold a small outboard.
- A relatively simple build that my son, wife, father, mother, and I can enjoy together.
- Good performance in the Salish Sea.
- More than one mast!
One of the biggest factors in finalizing the list was all the pictures, videos, and recounts of the inaugural Salish 100. My wife and I agreed that this is an event we want to participate in.
There are plenty of little pocket cruisers for sale around that we could buy and enter the event, but that leaves out the important part of building something with 3 generations of family. We moved to the PNW to be near the sea and mountains. What better heirloom than a beautiful boat made from trees that grow on the slopes of the Cascades and sails the Salish?
There is also the fact that my father is set to retire for the 3rd time. He needs a "hobby" to keep him occupied so he doesn't get bored and go back to work. I've planted the seed and watered it. Now I'm just waiting for him to come up with the idea himself.
As for our woodworking skills, well... What skills? I have turned several boxes of sticks in to flying contraptions controlled from the ground. But those all fit on a small work bench and had very few complex curves that werent created by shrinking covering over frames. My fiberglass experience consisted of a few wing joints. My father has built a couple very elaborate decks purely from ideas in his head. My wife and mother know how to sand. My 4 year plays with wooden Brio railroad tracks.
My shortlist of boats consisted of the Glen-L Minuet, Welsford Navigator, and Welsford Sweet Pea. Wanting a yawl rig disqualified the Minuet. I ultimately decided on the Sweet Pea for two reasons; 1. The hull will be slightly simpler due to having only 2 chines per side and 2. It was designed to have a cabin from the outset.
So now I sit staring at the study plans every night waiting for my father to come to me with his idea. Then we will purchase plans from John and get to building. I hope to be able to share the experience with you all.

Read the full speech or select excerpts.
Behind us stands the Brent Spence Bridge. It's located on one of the busiest trucking routes in North America. It sees about 150,000 vehicles every single day. And it's in such poor condition that it's been labeled "functionally obsolete." Think about that -- functionally obsolete. That doesn't sound good, does it?
AUDIENCE: Nooo!
THE PRESIDENT: It's safe to --
AUDIENCE MEMBER: Kind of like John Boehner. (Laughter.)
THE PRESIDENT: It's safe to drive on, but it was not designed to accommodate today's traffic, which can stretch out for a mile. Shipping companies try to have their trucks avoid the bridge. Of course, that only ends up costing them more money as well.
The thing is there are bridges and roads and highways like that throughout the region. A major bridge that connects Kentucky and Indiana just closed down for safety reasons. Another aging bridge that crosses over the Ohio River in Ironton could be replaced right now. There are rail stations in Cleveland and Toledo in desperate need of repair. And the same is true in cities and towns all across America. It makes your commute longer. It costs our businesses billions of dollars -- they could be moving products faster if they had better transportation routes. And in some cases, it's not safe.
Now, we used to have the best infrastructure in the world here in America. We're the country that built the Intercontinental Railroad, the Interstate Highway System. (Applause.) We built the Hoover Dam. We built the Grand Central Station. (Applause.) So how can we now sit back and let China build the best railroads? And let Europe build the best highways? And have Singapore build a nicer airport? At a time when we've got millions of unemployed construction workers out there just ready to get on the job, ready to do the work to rebuilding America. (Applause.)[...]
So my question is, what's Congress waiting for? Why is it taking so long? Now, the bridge behind us just happens to connect the state that's home to the Speaker of the House --
AUDIENCE: Booo --
THE PRESIDENT: -- with the home state of the Republican leader in the Senate.
AUDIENCE: Booo --
THE PRESIDENT: Now, that's just a coincidence. (Laughter.) Purely accidental that that happened. (Laughter.) But part of the reason I came here is because Mr. Boehner and Mr. McConnell, those are the two most powerful Republicans in government. They can either kill this jobs bill, or they can help pass this jobs bill. (Applause.) And I know these men care about their states. They care about businesses; they care about workers here. I can't imagine that the Speaker wants to represent a state where nearly one in four bridges are classified as substandard -- one in four. I know that when Senator McConnell visited the closed bridge in Kentucky, he said that, "Roads and bridges are not partisan in Washington." That's great. I know that Paul Ryan, the Republican in charge of the budget process, recently said that "you can't deny that infrastructure does creates jobs." That's what he said.
Well, if that's the case, there's no reason for Republicans in Congress to stand in the way of more construction projects. There's no reason to stand in the way of more jobs.
Mr. Boehner, Mr. McConnell, help us rebuild this bridge. (Applause.) Help us rebuild America. Help us put construction workers back to work. (Applause.) Pass this bill.
AUDIENCE: Pass this bill! Pass this bill! Pass this bill! Pass this bill!
THE PRESIDENT: Let's pass the bill.

The growth hormone suppression test determines whether growth hormone (GH) production is suppressed by high blood sugar.
A blood sample is needed. For information on how this is done, see: Venipuncture
At least three blood samples are taken. The first is collected between 6 a.m. and 8 a.m before you eat or drink anything. Then you are asked to drink a water solution containing 75 grams of glucose. You may be asked to drink this slowly to avoid becoming nauseated. However, you must drink the solution within 5 minutes or the test results may be changed.
The next blood samples are usually collected for 1 - 2 hours after you finish drinking the glucose solution. Sometimes they are taken every 30 or 60 minutes. Each sample should be taken to the laboratory immediately. The lab measures glucose and GH levels in each sample.
Do not eat anything and limit physical activity for 10 - 12 hours before the test, so that you don't affect the test results.
Some medications can affect test results. If you are taking medications, your health care provider may ask that you stop taking them before the test. Check with your health care provider before stopping any medications.
You will be asked to relax for at least 90 minutes before the test, as exercise or increased activity can change GH levels.
If your child is to have this test performed, it may be helpful to explain how the test will feel and even demonstrate on a doll. The more familiar your child is with what will happen and why, the less anxiety the child will feel.
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain, while others feel only a prick or stinging sensation. Afterward, there may be some throbbing.
This test checks for high levels of GH, a condition that leads to gigantism in children and acromegaly in adults. It is not used as a routine screening test. This test is only done if you show signs of increased GH.
Normal test results show a GH level of less than 1 ng/mL. In children, the levels may be increased due to reactive hypoglycemia.
The examples above are common measurements for results of these tests. Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or test different samples. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
If the GH levels are not changed and stay high during the suppression test, then the health care provider will suspect gigantism or acromegaly. You may need to be retested at the same time and under the same conditions on another day to confirm the test results.
Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other. Obtaining a blood sample from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight, but may include:

Enter your US/Canadian Postal Code for a customized experience.
The Rheem Digital gas heater comes with a microprocessor-based control center. This allows you to set your pool or spa temperature precisely at your preferred setting by simply pressing the up or down temperature control button. The digital display provides a constant readout of your pool or spa water temperature. Just set it, and forget it! Truly simple. If only your VCR were this easy to operate.
Troubleshooting a Rheem gas heater has never been easier. The Rheem Digital has on-board diagnostic controls that let the user and the service professional know what is going on with the heater at all times. In the unlikely event that a problem develops the digital display easily points out the problem and the probable cause. It's like having a service technician built into every heater!
The new Rheem Digital is compatible with most major pool control and remote systems on the market today. Any two- or three-wire remote can connect to the Rheem Digital and be integrated into the pool control system of your choice.
Burner design is a critical component in any gas heater. The stainless steel burner system used in the Rheem Digital is inherently forgiving and extremely robust. The burner is self-adjusting to compensate for gas pressure fluctuations, allowing the heater to always burn clean and safe.
Not all low NOx heaters are created the same. The Rheem Low NOx design uses a fan to provide cool, controlled combustion air to the burners. Other brands use a fan to pull hot flue gases through the heater. The Rheem design allows the heater to outperform all others during cold starts and provides longer component life.
The Rheem Digital use a spark-to-pilot ignition system. This is the most reliable and robust ignition system available- an industry proven standard for over 20 years.
The ceramic fiber combustion chamber keeps your heater running efficiently while ensuring the outside jacket stays cool. By using this space-age material, the heater won't retain residual heat after it is turned off, allowing it to be installed without the need for excessive clearances. This heater is also certified for installation on a combustible surface.
Performance and reliability are enhanced by the "pagoda top," designed to keep the Rheem Digital operating even in windy conditions. No need for fans to combat drafting problems. This heater is engineered to draft naturally in outdoor installations with its exclusive low-profile design. It is so thoughtfully and carefully constructed it actually protects itself from the things that tend to stifle ordinary pool and spa heaters. It delivers uninterrupted heating performance regardless of falling leaves, wind, airborne debris, rain, downdrafts, updrafts, sleet, snow, etc.
The Rheem Digital has a polyester-coated, non-corrosive cabinet that is more durable than solventborne- and waterborne-coated metal cabinets. Every piece of sheet metal goes through a 7-stage wash system, making certain the powder paint has a perfect bond. Underneath the tough, yet beautiful finish you will find galvanized metal that offers superior rust prevention for years of durable service.
Both water temperature and flow rate inside the heater are controlled to help eliminate condensation, sooting and scale build-up that can shorten the life of a heater. Rheem engineered the Unitherm Governor specifically for pool and spa heater applications, regulating low temperature incoming water to help reduce condensation.
The Rheem Digital is equipped with polymer headers and an integral copper fin tube heat exchanger built with stainless steel tube sheets. This ensures rust-free performance, especially important when heating spas. Even the smallest details, such as the studs and nuts, are made out of stainless steel. The payoff? A heater that will last year after year and can easily be serviced if the need should ever arise.
The Rheem Digital is built to last with the highest quality integral copper fin tube available. Copper is well known for its ability to efficiently transfer heat, and is an excellent choice for pool and spa heater heat exchangers, where the water chemistry is properly maintained.
Rheem heaters are available with an optional cupro-nickel fin tube heat exchanger for added protection against aggressive water chemistry, which has been known to attack copper heat exchangers and cause premature failure. Cupro-nickel's major advantage over standard copper is that it's more tolerant of bad water chemistry and is more resistant to erosion, thanks to a harder surface and a wall that is approximately 50% thicker. When you are unsure of your ability to maintain the pool or spa water chemistry, a cupro-nickel heat exchanger is a cost-effective way to protect against premature failure.
Rheem offers an optional power vent feature. Sometimes, equipment rooms or unusual venting configurations require the use of a power vent. Being the heater experts, we have this option for you when the need may arise.
The D-2 Power Vent assembly is a Category III mechanical draft venting system that operates under a positive static pressure that prevents excessive condensate production in the vent. All sizes are capable of relieving flue gases up to a maximum of 100 equivalent feet of vent length. All models have a standard 4" diameter exhaust connection.
Using the Rheem-supplied adjustable 90° elbow, the flue gases may be discharged in any direction (see D-2 Power Vent manual for details). The D-2 Power Vent is also dual-voltage capable (120/240 volt) and engineered for long life and smooth operation.
