True Awareness
With April being Autism Awareness Month, everyone is getting into the spirit of helping out when it come to this cause. People are turning their Facebook pictures blue, putting blue lights outside their homes, and going to fundraisers for autism. The big question is what can you do after April is over? Autism does not stop at the end of April and start back up when the time rolls around. The new statistic out is that 1 in every 68 children has some form of ASD and has to live with this every day. I think it is great that so many people want to spread the awareness of Autism in the month of April, but there is so much more people can do after the month is over.
Working part-time as a bartender, I get the chance to meet a lot of interesting people. I am always asked what I do as a full-time job. When I say I work at an autism center as a Supportive Employment Manager, people are always amazed and commend me for having this job. Questions come up about my job, my individuals, and the staff that I have on my caseload. But the best question is: "What can I do to help?" I always say, "Just spend some time with someone with autism and see how they live." Some of the individuals I have on my caseload even surprise me as to some of the interests they have or some of the things they can do. I have one individual who knows something interesting about any date in history. Another individual will sit for hours with me and talk about sports as if he were an ESPN sportscaster. One nonverbal individual is able to pick up any skill just by showing him once, and is able to speak to me through an iPad.
One of the requirements of my job is going to work sites and speaking with managers about the progress that the individuals on my caseload are making. Even some of the managers I speak to are amazed by what the individuals can do. Some of the managers are afraid to give the individuals new tasks. I tell the managers "Just show them what you need them to do, and give instructions to the staff." I enjoy the managers' later surprise at how well the individuals did completing these tasks. After the first time of trying this, some of the managers do not even wait for me to come in and ask me if the individual can do a new task. Sometimes I will walk into a jobsite and see the individual already doing a new task and the manager says, "I just wanted to try this and see if they could do it."
Even though April is Autism Awareness Month and I love seeing everyone's enthusiasm for helping, the best thing to do after April is to volunteer your time with someone with autism. Who knows, you may be able to teach them a new life skill or job skill that could help them gain more independence. They may also be able to teach you something new. I know I have learned so much after working with the individuals I have.

Diamond Fluorescence
A measure of the visible light some diamonds emit when exposed to ultraviolet (UV) rays. Diamonds with a strong or very strong fluorescence are a better value because the market prices them slightly lower. It is quite rare for fluorescence to have any visual impact on a diamond's appearance, and it does not compromise the gem's structural integrity in any way.
For more information, read our education on Diamond Colour.

Every cartoon series has a pair of buddies that are different, but the same. The new show that hit Cartoon Network's airwaves is a perfect example on how every main character needs to have a wingman. Up next I will be showing you "how to draw Dave", step by step. Now Dave is the best friend of Scaredy, and he is almost the complete opposite. What I mean by that is, unlike Scaredy, Dave is a fearless individual that likes living life by the seat of his pants. Everything with Dave has to be risky or at least risky to do. I think he's like this because he is a skunk, and as you know skunks are pretty out there as far as having courage goes. Dave also likes to get his hands dirty whenever there is a sticky situation involved. The only thing that Dave lacks is a little bit of logic. Anyways, I know you will have fun as you draw Dave from Scaredy Squirrel because he is just too funny looking to pass up. That's it for now but my return is near. I have a surprise for those of you that love Mordecai and Rigby!

When Apple announced its new iPhone 5s last week, the fingerprint scanning technology, called Touch ID, stood out as one of the most notable additions. The benefits are easy enough to identify – iPhone users will no longer need to repeatedly type in an annoying security PIN code to unlock their phones or download apps or media from iTunes.
Even better, those who have tried the technology first-hand seem to be largely satisfied. However, before designating the iPhone's new security feature a win, a few issues need to be considered.
Just over a year ago, a report published on Elcomsoft's blog cracking passwords highlighted "a huge security hole" with fingerprint reader security in laptops sold by 16 companies, including Acer, ASUS, Dell, IBM and Samsung. The fingerprint-reading software that came preinstalled on these laptops stored the Windows user passwords in plain text, according to the report. This violated a pretty basic security policy, which Microsoft itself advises its users to adopt – don't store Windows passwords on the PC.
Of course, this is just one example, and it's since been resolved. Still, at the time, the vulnerability was considered "extremely broad" by the researchers who found it, as it somehow made it past Microsoft and the 16 manufacturers that shipped the laptops.
Worse still, the software responsible for the flaw was owned by Authentec, the biometric company that Apple bought for $356 million last year so it could develop fingerprint sensor technology for the iPhone 5s. Small world.

Things to consider before expanding your business
Expanding your business usually involves dedication and hard work. Before moving ahead, consider whether you and your team are fully committed to making the effort and if your operation is ready to support growth before investing your time and money. Whether your business is large or small, there are several personal and operational issues to consider.
Personal considerations
Evaluate your motivations for expanding your business, and the impact it could have on your personal and family life before going ahead:
- Are you ready to devote more time to the business, if needed?
- Does your family understand your need to commit more time to the business?
- Will you need to invest some personal financial resources?
- Does expansion fit into your short and long term business objectives?
- Is the return on investment worth your time and effort?
- Will you still enjoy running the business?
- Are you willing to take the risk?
- Do you have the right skills and abilities to manage growth? If not, where will you get them?
If your business is home-based:
- Will additional traffic to your home affect your privacy or that of your family?
- Could it disrupt your neighbours? Some municipalities establish rules for residential areas, so be sure to check ahead.
Operational considerations
Your current operations should be relatively stable before you consider expanding your business. Research shows that trying to grow when the business is not ready is a leading cause of business failure.
Growth can put a strain on your cash flow, your production capacity, and your ability to deliver services; be sure you are starting on strong footing. Carefully research your ideas and consider the impact on your operations.
If you're ready to move ahead, take a look at the ways you can grow your business, and some of the things you may need to do to achieve your goals.
- Assess your options for growth
Learn how to choose the appropriate strategy for your business, when to implement it and which financial choices are suitable.
- Challenges of growing a business and how to meet them
Learn how to recognize and avoid common growth-related traps to help your business continue to grow and prosper.

New York, June 23, 2011--Ethiopian authorities have been holding a newspaper columnist incommunicado since Tuesday, local journalists told the Committee to Protect Journalists. Reeyot Alemu, a regular contributor to the independent weekly Feteh, was expected to spend the next four weeks in preventive detention under what appears to be Ethiopia's sweeping anti-terrorism law.
Authorities have not disclosed the reason for Alemu's arrest, but a local lawyer who requested anonymity for fear of government reprisals told CPJ that she has been transferred into preventive detention for a period of 28 days, pending further investigations. This is the minimum period for preventive detention under Ethiopia's 2009 anti-terrorism law, according to legal experts. Ethiopia's code of criminal procedure allows for preventative detention for a minimum of 14 days, they said.
Ethiopian government spokesman Bereket Simon told CPJ on Friday that he was not immediately available to comment. Local journalists said they believe Alemu's arrest could be related to her columns critical of the ruling EPRDF. Alemu's June 17 column in Feteh criticized the EPRDF's public fundraising methods for the Abay Dam project, and made parallels between Prime Minister Meles Zenawi and Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi, according to local journalists
"We condemn the ongoing detention of Reeyot Alemu without charge," said CPJ Africa Advocacy Coordinator Mohamed Keita. "Since Alemu is frequently critical of the government, we are concerned about the possible use of far-reaching and vaguely worded provisions of Ethiopia's anti-terrorism law to prosecute her. We call on authorities in Addis Ababa to release Alemu immediately."
The sweeping anti-terrorism law criminalizes any reporting authorities deem to "encourage" or "provide moral support" to groups and causes the government labels as "terrorists."
Alemu was picked up at a high school in Addis Ababa where she teaches English, according to local journalists. Police then searched her house, according to the same sources.
Ethiopia has six journalists currently behind bars, behind only Eritrea as the nation detaining the largest number of journalists in Africa. Eritrea holds at least 17 members of the press in its secret prisons, according to CPJ research.

Russia's counterterrorism committee lists accomplishments
The special representative of Russia's Counterterrorism Committee (NAK),Andrei Przhezdomsky, listed the committee's achievements at a press conference.
Przhezdomsky said some 360 militants have been killed so far this year,"99 percent of them in the North Caucasus," but also referred to terrorist attacks in Tatarstan during the year. He said the number of terror victims in 2012 decreased to 58 from 128 in 2011.
Przhezdomsky said 466 "improvised explosive devices, some of which were already functional" were seized, including 21 suicide bomber belts.
The NAK representative credited part of the committee's success to three elements -- "the prevention of terrorist attacks, the arrest of suspected terrorists, and minimizing the damage from acts of terror."
Przhezdomsky also said that better coordination between authorities and law enforcement agencies has furthered the advances that the committee has made in the war on terror.
Przhezdomsky said a "total of 515 militant bases and arms caches" were discovered this year and nearly 1,500 were found in the last four years. He said some of the militant bases had "laboratories, fortified bunkers and [supplies] that could allow people to live there autonomously."
Przhezdomsky also warned that there are more than 7,000 websites identified by the NAK as "terrorist" websites, "some 500 of which are in Russian." He said that while it was possible to counter such websites in Russia, many sites such as KavkazTsentr, a Chechen rebel website, are posting material from outside Russian borders. He said even YouTube "is filled with terrorist elements."

I would buy this again. Everything about this bed was high class! Color was just like the picture! Great quality!
Fun and sturdy loft bed. It's a good quality loft bed. My kids love it, once it's assembled and ready to use. The bed came in four boxes, three of them shipped right away, but the last box (containing cushions) did not ship until a month later, which was quite annoying.
great color. I am decorating the bedroom around this bed. I liked the coloration and design. I ordered two for a dorm room like space for the kids.
Great bed. Very nice looking, sturdy
Space saving sleepers are here! Our bunk & loft beds & sets include plenty of styles, colors and size options. A bunk bed is everybody's favorite, while a crafty loft bed also makes a great choice. And with bunk & loft bed accessories, your kids will enjoy all the creature comforts of home. We have trundle styles, twin over full, storage beds, futons and twin over twin designs, for both boys and girls. Our brand lineup includes Atlantic, Bolton, Lea and Matrix Furniture and NE Kids. These are , not the old iron bunks of early college days, and you'll fall in love with the functional and artful designs that include upper lofts for sleeping and lower study spaces. They are perfect for dorm rooms, studios and cramped apartments, and also come with built-in futon seating.
A Buying Guide
Bunk beds and loft beds were great innovations that raised one bed off the ground to provide more space for another sleeper, or offered additional room space for a student or young adult who resides in a dormitory, room, or small apartment. Bunk beds are great for children who like to have their friends over, instantly providing an extra bed with no sacrifice of space; they are equally wonderful for two siblings who share a room, and many sets offer trundle beds to accommodate an extra friend. As well, some top bunks can be pulled down to the floor to create two separate single beds.
These kinds of beds have continually grown in design and in versatility, continually offering efficient storage space with sturdier frames and friendlier ladders. Their range of stylishness has developed to use a wide array of materials and still appear fashionable, such as the cool and sleek appeal of metal or the warm, rich, and sophisticated allure of wood.
Many of the bunk and loft beds have desks for the advancing student, providing study space such as a desk or reading area in the same amount of room that a regular bed would take up. They come in stylish metal frames or attractive wooden structures which are sure to appeal to young adults with developing tastes.
Many growing youth find it uncomfortable when they are confined to a twin bed, thus the development of the full sized bunk bed. These come available in arrangements such as a full bed over another full one, or a full size over or under a twin. Yet, for those who prefer the space saving capabilities of the twin, there are also choices which feature a twin over twin size, and even fun camp beds. There is a multitude of exciting options available to choose from, which are sure to please your children and their guests.
The futon bunk beds also present a distinctive trend in style, providing a lower bed which transforms from a couch into a full sized sleeping arrangement. This is great for both kids and adults, granting a relaxing sitting area that is separate from the bed yet easily transforms into one for guests.
There is a very special section titled "Kids Love These!" for boys and girls, featuring a plethora of bunk and loft beds that are hard to find anywhere else. Many are brightly colored and whimsically ornamented to cater to any child's delightful sense of décor, yet they still offer the highest quality in stability and use of exquisite materials.
Bunk beds which feature an L-shape are a great way to utilize space by turning the lower bed to face outwards, thereby creating room for shelving, drawers, and desks. Such an efficient and organized cluster will provide a lot more breathing space for any room.
Matching furniture ensures that it will be quite pleasant to create a harmonizing ensemble for any bunk bed or loft choice, whether it's a refined and mature furnishing or it features the fanciful color scheme of children. These complementing armoires, bookcases, desk chairs, desks, dressers, hutches, media cabinets, mirrors, night stands, and storage units will enhance any bed from this site with their extra storage space and attractive designs.

A giant metal palm tree branch crashed through an El Paso, Texas man's windshield, splashing glass in his face and coming inches from impaling him in the head. Why was there a giant metal palm frond crashing to earth? It fell from a T-Mobile cell tower dressed up as a tree.
Apparently T-Mobile checks the fronds on the El Paso, Texas towers once a year, every March, but windy season came a little early this year and nearly killed poor Sergio Gonzales. The CTIA told ABC that neither it nor the FCC regulates the towers—it's the job of local governments to keep the cell companies' metal palm tree costumes from impaling their citizens. As it should be, agrees no one. [ABC via Fark]

Voters To Decide Whether To Split California Into Three Separate States
A proposal that would split California into three separate states will be on the November ballot.
The idea comes thanks to the efforts of businessman Tim Draper who rallied enough support to get the necessary number of signatures on the petition for the measure to go on the November ballot.
Carrying the California namesake would be six counties on the coast from Monterey south to Los Angeles. The northern state would include San Francisco and Sacramento and would extend to the Oregon border, while the southern state would go from Fresno south to San Diego.

|Oracle Fusion Middleware Data Visualization Tools Tag Reference for Oracle ADF Faces
11g Release 1 (188.8.131.52.0)
UIComponent class: oracle.adf.view.faces.bi.component.gauge.UIGauge
Component type: oracle.dss.adf.gauge.Gauge
Use the gauge tag to create an ADF gauge. The attributes on this tag are sufficient to produce a gauge but you can also specify custom settings for many components by including any of the gauge child tags.
The Gauge is a measuring instrument for indicating a quantity such as temperature, pressure, speed etc. It shows a metric value and threshold ranges using graphical representation. Inside a Gauge, there is an Indicator. The Indicator represents the metric value of the Gauge. A single Gauge shows a single metric value. If a grid of values is applied to the Gauge, the Gauge becomes a Gauge set that contains multiple Gauges and each of them represents a value in the grid.
There are four types of Gauges: Dial Gauge, Status Meter, Vertical Status Meter and LED Gauge. All Gauges consist of five major parts: Top Label, Bottom Label, Metric Label, Plot Area and Legend Area with an exception that LED Gauge does not have a Plot Area. Some other parts of the Gauge like Indicator, Tick Labels, Tick Mark and Gauge Frame may be inside the Plot Area as well.
Single Value - The simplest data model for a Gauge is a single metric value, which can be specified by the value attribute. In addition, the threshold, minimum and maximum values can also be specified by Threshold tag, and the minValue and maxValue attributes respectively. The following JSPX xml generates a single Gauge.
<dvt:gauge value = "10" minValue = "0" maxValue = "100"> <dvt:thresholdSet> <dvt:threshold thresholdMaxValue = "30"/> <dvt:threshold thresholdMaxValue = "60"/> <dvt:threshold/> </dvt:thresholdSet> </dvt:gauge>
Data Grid - Alternatively, the data binding dialogs can be used to bind the Gauge to a data control, which is typically based on a rowset. Another common way to provide data for the Gauge is to use the tabularData attribute to create a grid of data. This requires use of a backing or managed bean.
If a grid of values is specified, the Gauge becomes a Gauge set. Each Gauge in the Gauge set represents a value in the grid. The number of Gauges depends on the number of rows and columns in the grid by default. Users may customize the number of column in the Gauge set by using gaugeSetColumnCount attribute.
Data Specification - A Data Specification can be used to specify columns or rows of data to be used as the metric value, and threshold, minimum and maximum values. The following example shows how to use a Data Specification for a set of tabular data. This tabular data contains 5 columns and 2 rows. If Data Specification is not used, the following table will generate 10 Gauges that there will be a gauge for each value. Each column has its desired data specification as shown. Sales is assigned to be metric value, Quota is assigned to be the first threshold, etc. This will generate 2 Gauges, one for Boston and one for Chicago, both with metric, minimum, maximum and threshold values specified.
|Desired Spec.
|Threshold 1
|Threshold 2
CommonGauge gauge = new CommonGauge();
Object[] specs = { DataSpecification.METRIC, DataSpecification.MINIMUM, DataSpecification.MAXIMUM, DataSpecification.THRESHOLD, DataSpecification.THRESHOLD };
String[] colLabels = new String[] { "Sales", "Min", "Max", "Quota", "Target" };
String[] rowLabels = new String[] { "Boston", "Chicago" };
double[][] values = new double[][] { {40, 60}, {0,0}, {100,80}, {30,35}, {50,70} };
List gaugeData = new ArrayList();
for (int c = 0; c < colLabels.length; c++) {
for (int r = 0; r < rowLabels.length; r++) {
gaugeData.add(new Object[] { colLabels[c], rowLabels[r], new Double(values[c][r]) });
gauge.setTabularData(specs, gaugeData);
DVT gauge supports number formatting on its metricLabel and tickLabel. Users can customize the number formatting by adding <af:convertNumber> to the <dvt:metricLabel> and <dvt:tickLabel> tags. The following is an example of how to configure these tags:
<dvt:gauge value="#{binding.dataModel}">
<af:convertNumber pattern="#{appPrefs.metricLabelPattern}" />
<af:convertNumber pattern="#{appPrefs.tickLabelPattern}" />
Automatic Scaling and Precision
Gauge automatically determines the scale ( e.g. 4K ) and precision ( e.g. show 2 decimal points - 0.25 ) based on the values that are being displayed. This automatic formatting still occurs when <af:convertNumber> is specified. The gauge tags that support <af:convertNumber> child tags ( <dvt:metricLabel> and <dvt:tickLabel>) also have scaling and autoPrecision attributes that can be used to control graph's automatic number formatting. By default, scaling="auto" means gauge will auto-calculate the scale. For example, 40,000 will be formatted as "40K". By default, autoPrecision="on" means that graph will auto-calculate the precision of the number. For example, 0.230546 will be displayed as "0.23". If the autoPrecision is 'on' then all of the <af:convertNumber> fraction digit settings ( e.g. min/maxFractionDigits or pattern) are ignored.
Formatting Percent values
When number type is set to percent (valid value are NT_NUMBER and NT_PERCENT), the formatting engine will use the label format and will automatically force the convertNumber type to percent. When <af:convertNumber> is forced to percent, gauge clears <af:convertNumber> pattern, since the pattern will prevent type=percent if specified. This means that patterns are ignored when gauge forces percent formatting.
The Plot Area contains a graphical representation of the metric value for the Gauge. Different gauge types have different plot areas. Indicator, Thresholds and Tick Marks are generally inside the Plot Area.
The Gauge Frame is a decorative frame that encloses the whole plot area on Dial Gauges. Users may choose the fill color and the border color of the Gauge Frame.
The Plot Area appears differently in different types of gauge.
The Dial Gauge Plot Area consists of a dial and a needle. It looks like a speedometer. The dial has tick marks showing the values at specific angles. Users may change the angular extent of the dial using the angleExtent attribute.
The Vertical Status Meter and Status Meter are meters with a rectangular indicator placed in a bounding box. It looks like a mercury barometer. The bounding box has tick marks showing the values at certain locations within the box.
The LED Gauge does not have a Plot Area. See the Indicator section below for details on LED Gauge.
The Indicator shows the metric value of the Gauge. There are three types of indicators for Dial Gauges: Line, Needle and Fill. Line and Needle are rotating pointers to show the metric value by pointing to certain angle on the dial. The Needle indicator is thicker than the Line indicator. Fill is a slice or section of the dial that fills from the minimum value up to the metric value. Users may specify the indicator fill color and border color.
In a Status Meter, the indicator is rectangular. Its length is proportional to the metric value. Use the <dvt:indicatorBar> tag to specify the fill color and border color of the indicator.
The LED Gauge indicates its value mainly by its color. It changes its color to match the threshold range into which the metric value falls. Therefore, one or more thresholds must be present for LED Gauges. Users may change the style of the LED by attribute ledStyle. The shape of the LED gauge can be changed to circular (LS_DOT), an arrow shape (LS_ARROW), triangular (LS_TRIANGLE), or customizable shape (LS_CUSTOM).
In order to make the customizable shape is functional, both ledStyleCallback attribute and its callback class have to be implemented. The callback class extends the LedStyleCallback class, which users need to implement the getLEDImage method to return the desired image for every threshold range. See the JavaDoc for the LedStyleCallback class for more information.
A Threshold represents a significant value range like quota, target or limit value etc. When the indicator falls into one of the threshold ranges, it means certain criteria have been met or not. Different threshold ranges in gauges may have different colors, which you may customize.
Specify the threshold ranges by using <dvt:thresholdSet> tag and <dvt:threshold> tag. The thresholdMaxValue attribute is used to indicate the breakpoint of the ranges. For examples, if thresholdMaxValue of two threshold tags are specified, there will be three threshold ranges, starting from minimum value to first thresholdMaxValue, first thresholdMaxValue to second thresholdMaxValue and second thresholdMaxValue to maximum value. The threshold ranges can also be specified through the data bindings.
A Gauge Legend can be added to show the colors, ranges and descriptions of the Thresholds.
The style of threshold representation can be changed for Dial Gauges. Threshold colors can fill the entire plot area, form a solid or segmented ring around the Plot Area.
Dial Gauges and Status Meters have Tick Marks and Tick Labels to show the incremental, minimum and maximum values for a specific rotational angle or a location on the Plot Area. Users may specify where the tick marks occur within a Gauge, such as increments, minimum, maximum, metric, threshold values etc. If increment is specified, user may decide the number of ticks to be displayed in a gauge. Tick Labels may show actual value or percentage value. The Tick Labels can be positioned inside or outside of the Plot Area.
There are three labels in a gauge: Top Label, Bottom Label and Metric Label.
The Top Label shows the title of the Gauge. It can be positioned above the Gauge or inside the Gauge. The data grid column label is the default Top Label in Gauge Sets.
The Bottom Label further describes the value. It can be positioned below the Gauge or inside the Gauge. The data grid row label is the default Bottom Label in Gauge Sets.
The Metric Label shows the numerical value of the metric. It can be positioned below or with the bottom label, or inside the Gauge. The Metric Label may show the percentage value instead of numerical value.
If top, bottom, and metric labels are placed inside a Gauge, they are positioned at the center horizontally. When two or more labels are placed inside the Gauge, they are ordered vertically (from top, bottom and then metric label) within the Gauge Plot Area.
The Upper Label Frame is a decorative frame that encloses the Top Label, and the Lower Label Frame is the one that encloses the Bottom and Metric Labels. The fill color and border color of those frames can be modified.
The Legend of the Gauge shows a description of the thresholds. It shows the color and the name or range of each threshold. It can be positioned above, below, or to the left or right of the Gauge Plot Area using the position attribute of the <dvt:gaugeLegendArea> tag.
Note: Only one legend exists in either a single Gauge or a Gauge Set. For a Gauge Set, the threshold ranges or values showing in the legend is according to the first Gauge in the Gauge Set. Therefore, the usage of different threshold ranges for Gauges in a Gauge Set is not recommended.
The Legend Title and texts can be customized by the <dvt:gaugeLegendTitle> tag and <dvt:gaugeLegendText> tag respectively.
The default Gauge size is 200 pixels tall by 200 pixels wide. The "inlineStyle" attribute can be used to change the size. Set inlineStyle = "width: 500px; height: 350px;", for instance, to change the Gauge size to 350 pixels tall by 500 pixels wide. The width and the height can also be specified in percent. Use percent for height only when the Gauge is added to an explicitly sized container or one that manages layout, otherwise gauge will behave differently for different browsers. Use the "dynamicResize" attribute to resize the Gauge based on its container size. Note that the specified size applies to the collection of all of the Gauges in a Gauge set, rather than to each individual Gauge.
Gauges support animation. Animate the gauge during initial rendering using the attribute "animationOnDisplay". The Gauge can also be animated when the data changes using the attribute "animationOnDataChange". Use the attribute "animationDuration" to specify the animation duration. Animation is not supported in Gauge Sets.
Context menus can be defined by using any of the context menu facets that are defined on the gauge. Context Menus are currently only supported in Flash.
Due to technical limitations when using the Flash rendering format, the context menu contents are currently displayed using the Flash Player's context menu. This imposes several limitations defined by the Flash Player:
Additionally, since Flash's request for context menu items is a synchronous call, so a server request to evaluate EL is not possible when the context menu is invoked. To provide context menus that vary by selected object, the menus will be pre-fetched if the context menu popup uses contentDelivery="lazyUncached". For context menus that may vary by state, this means that any EL expressions within the menu definition will be called repeatedly at render time, with different selection and currency states. When using these context menus that are pre-fetched, the application must be aware of the following:
Tooltips are useful to display identification and or detail information of the metric value. While the indicator shows the ballpark value of the metric value, tooltip can be very useful to show the exact value.
The <dvt:gaugeFont> tag is used for font formatting. Text color, style, size, and font name can be specified using this tag. This tag is used as a child tag for any of the Gauge's text component tags. Text components for the gauge are topLabel, bottomLabel, metricLabel, gaugeLegendText, gaugeLegendTitle and tickLabel.
Use the shapeAttributes tag to specify interactivity on an individual Gauge set component. A backing or managed bean may be required to use certain functionality of this feature. Please look at <dvt:shapeAttributes> tag for more information.
Here is an example of the interactivity on indicator and metric label. Here is a Dial Gauge. The tooltip of the indicator and the metric label become "Indicator" and "MetricLabel" respectively. When the indicator is clicked, the window title becomes "Indicator is clicked".
<dvt:gauge gaugeType="DIAL"> <dvt:shapeAttributesSet> <dvt:shapeAttributes component="GAUGE_INDICATOR" alt="Indicator" onClick="document.title="Indicator is clicked";"/> <dvt:shapeAttributes component="GAUGE_METRICLABEL" alt="MetricLabel"/> </dvt:shapeAttributesSet> </dvt:gauge>
The gauge can have the following child tags:
The following example shows XML for a gauge tag.
<dvt:gauge id="foo2" value ="#{sampleGauge.gaugeDataModel}"
gaugeType="STATUSMETER" imageFormat="FLASH"
inlineStyle = "width:350px; height:250px;"
gaugeSetAlignment="GSA_RIGHT" gaugeSetColumnCount="2"
partialTriggers="gaugeTypes2" partialSubmit="true">
In attachment mode, the gauge will be displayed in HTML5 or PNG, depending on the browser being used. Limited client interactivity, such as tooltips, is available. The clickListener feature is not supported in attachment mode.

Setting up a new Tumblr blog at the same time I'm working behind the scenes updating this personal blog (douglasjohnston.net) and seeing what needs to be done with DIYPlanner. Created new subdomain off douglasjohnston.net for Tumblr. Created new feeds using FeedBurner for both blog and Tumblr. Connected one or the other or both to Twitter. Connected one or the other or both to Twitter. Set up Google Analytics to tie into the mix, which seems to be connected under Google to Feedburner. del.icio.us feeds integrated into both, I think, now. Flickr and YouTube were somewhere in all those settings, as was Amazon.
So does this mean that if I post something, it'll appear everywhere, and then circle back to appear in the original place, and then over and over, in a vicious cycle?
I feel vaguely like a novice plumber who has somehow connected the toilet to the shower and is now afraid to flush.

Four Handy Pond Tools to Keep Around
Who doesn't love tools? They're cool to look at, fun to play with – and, the best part, they help make chores easy. When it comes to maintaining your pond or lake, tools of all shapes and sizes will come in very handy, particularly these four must-haves, below.
Pond Rake
A pond rake pulls, gathers and removes dead debris from the surface or the bottom of a pond.
Debris on the surface of a pond, like algae or fallen leaves, can sink to the bottom and start to decay, adding to the muck and detritus that's already there. All that debris degrades water quality, compromises fish health, provides a nutrient source for nuisance plants, and can even affect chemical treatments' ability to work.
A floating/sub-surface pond rake, like the The Pond Guy® Pond & Beach Rake, or a sub-surface pond rake, like the Jenlis Weed Raker™, lends a long helping hand. Elongated by rope so you can easily get the deep-water growth, both rakes work by removing submerged lake and pond weeds by their roots, slowing their spread.
Weed Cutter
A weed cutter, like The Pond Guy® Weed Cutter and the Jenlis Weed Razer™, mechanically slices through weeds at their stems so they can then be raked out.
The 28-inch, double-sided Weed Cutter features a two-piece, rust-proof, powder-coated aluminum handle that's 11 feet long. It's great for removing floating aquatic vegetation, marginal weeds and cattails that extend past the pond's edge.
The V-shaped Jenlis Weed Razer™ clears a 4-foot-wide path in pond weeds by sinking to the bottom and slicing through submerged weeds like watermilfoil, cattails and lily pads as you pull it across the pond. The razor-sharp tool weighs just 8 pounds, making it light enough to toss 30 feet or more yet heavy enough to sink straight to the bottom.
A sprayer makes pond chemical application easy. Most liquid chemicals are more effective when they're sprayed over the target weed, and a tank sprayer, like The Pond Guy® Specialty Pond Sprayer, is designed just for this purpose. The 2.75-gallon pond tool features a wide-mouth fill top that minimizes accidental spills, a brass corrosive-resistant handle, and a high-pressure tank that allows you to spray hard-to-reach weeds.
Invest in a separate sprayer just for pond chemicals. If you use lawn and garden chemicals in the same sprayer that you use on your pond, doing so can be toxic to fish and other aquatic life as residue could be left behind. Keep your fish and pond plants healthy and happy: Use a different tool for the job.
Granular Spreader
The final must-have tool is a granular spreader, which helps you disperse granular herbicides evenly over your target area – and that means a more effective weed kill-off. The rust-proof Earthway® Granular Hand Spreader holds 10 pounds of material in a large hopper and features an application adjuster that lets you control how much product is released with its smooth-action hand crank.
Pond Talk: If you could only have one pond-care tool in your toolbox, what would it be? Why?

DARTMOUTH — Some UMass Dartmouth students say recent incidents in the Cedar Dell residences for upperclassmen have left them feeling unsafe and exposed to what they believe are off-campus trouble-makers who often visit the dorms on weekends.
DARTMOUTH — Some UMass Dartmouth students say recent incidents in the Cedar Dell residences for upperclassmen have left them feeling unsafe and exposed to what they believe are off-campus trouble-makers who often visit the dorms on weekends.
"It's definitely different when you live here," said junior Alyssa Malmquist, who lives in Cedar Dell. "You can't just go back to your dorm (to be safe) because this is your dorm."
In response to the incidents, UMass Dartmouth police have begun checking cars driving into Cedar Dell, the townhouse-style residences for upperclassmen located in woods off Ring Road that encircles the main campus.
The checks started earlier this month after reports of problems in the area. In one case, an intoxicated teenager, about 15 to 18, reportedly showed a handgun tucked into his waistband to a group of students during an argument. The teen, not believed to be a UMass Dartmouth student, fled when he heard police responding to a separate incident nearby, according to a crime advisory sent out to the campus community.
Malmquist and other students said groups of young people — whom they do not believe attend UMass Dartmouth — often flock to Cedar Dell drawn by parties. Students said the youths start fights, stealing and crashing parties.
"It's a bunch of kids; a lot of them look like they're still in high school," said junior Eric Vacca, who lives in Cedar Dell.
UMass Dartmouth Police Chief Emil Fioravanti said the checkpoints show university police take the rising number of problems seriously.
"We're taking a look at who belongs (in Cedar Dell) and who doesn't," Fioravanti said. "We're prepared to do whatever it takes to make the place safe."
Campus police have ordered vehicles without proper parking decals to leave Cedar Dell. Resident students have decals specific to where they live on campus.
Fioravanti declined to say when the checkpoints will occur. Cedar Dell students, however, should expect to deal with them "two or three nights a week," he said.
University police check decals only at the checkpoints; they do not stop foot traffic or search vehicles, he said, adding that he could not say where the bulk of campus crime originates.
Some students said the checkpoints create a feeling of "lockdown," but others say they do not go far enough and point out that troublemakers could park elsewhere and walk in to Cedar Dell.
"What do they think, that if someone had a gun they'd have to run really far to get back to their car and the police could stop them in the meantime?" asked senior Sephora Marie Borges, editor of the student-run campus newspaper The Torch.
Safety in the other dorms also worries students, with many pointing out that visitors to campus often can get inside the Woodland Commons or freshman dorms simply by asking a student to let them in.
The university's Office of Housing and Residential Education declined comment and referred The Standard-Times to UMass Dartmouth spokesman John Hoey, who said student satisfaction surveys show an overwhelming majority of students believe the campus is safe.
According to the Department of Education statistics, UMass Dartmouth sees a higher number of burglaries and assaults in its residence halls per year than Bridgewater State University or the similarly-sized UMass Lowell, although the number of burglaries reached a couple dozen at the most for any given year. UMass Dartmouth also had five reported assaults last year, the same as UMass Lowell; BSU had one.
The number of burglaries at UMass Dartmouth from 2009-12 varied from 19 in 2009 to 24 in 2012. Bridgewater had 10 reported burglaries in 2009 and five in 2012.
Hoey countered that despite a higher rate of incidents this year over last, the campus still has a lower rate of violent crime than Dartmouth or Fairhaven and that crime statistics are an unreliable tool for measuring campus safety.
"We join with law enforcement agencies, including the FBI, in rejecting the idea that one can draw any conclusions about the safety of communities based on the crime statistic numbers (The Standard-Times is) using," Hoey wrote in an email. "Such statistics can be driven by many factors, including how aggressively a police department encourages reporting and the ability of a police department to respond to incidents."
Statistics paint an accurate picture of crime at universities, but campuses are relatively safe places with low crime rates, said Mitchell Librett, a criminal justice professor at Bridgewater State University. Still, "every so often something goes wrong," he said.
Safe campus or not, many students said they're bombarded with a litany of secondhand stories and feel barraged by the school's mass-emailed crime advisories.
Fioravanti said he believes things have "turned a corner" and increased police activity has kept order on campus.
Many students said, however, that safe campus or not, they try their best to stay alert.
"I don't know if I'm in any physical danger," Vacca said. "But I think you need to keep your head on a swivel here."

Thessalonika: 1923
Until 1912 Thessalonika was Ottoman, although much of its population was Jewish. The city also included Turks, Muslims, Slavs and of course Greeks. In 1912, when the city was taken by Greece its population began to change. By 1923 nearly two million citizens from Turkey and Greece were forcibly exchanged across the Aegean because they were of the "wrong" religion. Bruce Clark's book is the first accessible, modern study of this tumultuous period, which helped to radically change the face of the Balkans. Two elements of Clark's book stand out. Firstly he has tracked down the last remaining Greeks and Turks who remember this period and its aftermath. Secondly he shows that, far from being a simple exchange of "Greeks" and "Turks", as previously believed,, identities were in fact far more complex. Many of the "Greeks" from Anatolia spoke only Turkish and many of the "Turks" from Greece spoke only Greek. In some cases families from one side also moved in before the others had moved out. This is Clark's interview with Ramazan Ezer, who was born in the village of Sevindik, north of Salonika in 1917. Ezer was deported six years later and resettled in a coastal suburb of Istanbul.
Before we left, about fifty or sixty households in our village were partially taken over by incoming Rum [Greek Orthodox subjects of the Ottoman Empire] refugees. The Rum family who lived with us spoke even better Turkish than we did. They took two rooms, and we – my parents, my grandmother, my sister and I were left with two rooms, so there was enough space for everybody. The Rum grandmother got along very well with my Muslim grandmother, who had lost her husband to the Bulgarians. The Rum grandmother used to urge us to settle if possible in Hayrebolu [a town on the coast of eastern Thrace] where she and her family had lived comfortably. At least for that short time, the Rum granny had no difficulty with us – but she did worry about some of the other Christian refugees who were settling nearby; some of them spoke Russian but not Turkish. These must have been Pontic Greeks who had spent a generation in Russia. Compared with those Pontians, the lady from Hayrebolu found it easier to talk to us. But I can also remember hearing one of the Rum ladies saying wistfully: "Your Mustafa Kemal is a warrior with a sword in each hand, and a sword on each leg" […] To a six year old it seemed an odd thing to say, and at the age of eighty-six I can still hear her words resounding in my head.

text: If we can get past the fiscal cliff, the market should rally. That's the word from Jim Stack, one of the market's best forecasters. By Steven Goldberg, Contributing Columnist November 27, 2012 James Stack is well worth listening to. The editor of the InvesTech Research Market Analyst newsletter boasts a record that puts the competition to shame. Over the past ten years through October 31, his recommendations have returned an annualized 10.7% -- compared with an annualized 6.9% for Standard & Poor's 500-stock index, according to the Hulbert Financial Digest. SEE ALSO: Kiplinger's Economic Outlook Stack hasn't missed a major market turn since predicting the onset of the 2007-09 bear market almost to the day. After the S&P 500 tumbled 55.3%, Stack turned bullish soon after the March 9, 2009 market bottom. (I based a March 10th piece on his optimistic stance.) He's been bullish ever since, and for the most part his optimism has been borne out. From the bottom through November 23, the S&P has returned a cumulative 125.4%, or 24.5% annualized. Stack, who's based in Whitefish, Mont., isn't changing his tune now. Here are four reasons why he thinks the bull market will continue -- if we can get beyond the fiscal cliff. Advertisement 1. Consumer sentiment is strengthening. In spite of a tortuously slow economic recovery, the U.S. consumer is alive and kicking. In fact, consumer sentiment is at its highest level since the onset of the recession in late 2007 -- although it's still low, considering that we're more than three years into the recovery. "Despite all the bad news, the consumer refuses to cave," Stack says. 2. The economy continues to show signs of growth. Stack looks most closely at two studies by the Institute of Supply Management: its survey of manufacturing and its report on the larger services segment of the economy. Both surveys currently point toward more growth ahead. "Leading economic data suggest that the fear over the fiscal cliff may be overdone," Stack says. 3. Technical indicators show that the market is healthy. Although Stack puts a lot of weight in economic indicators, at the end of the day he is a technician -- someone who makes his market forecasts based mainly on what the market itself is telling him. The picture here is somewhat mixed but, on balance, positive. Among the indicators pointing in the right direction is the market's ratio of advancing stocks to declining stocks. A healthy market has more stocks going up than down -- and that's the situation today. Stack also looks closely at the number of stocks reaching new 52-week highs as opposed to ones reaching new lows -- the higher the ratio of new highs to new lows, the better. That indicator, too, is bullish. Advertisement Stack also constructs an index of stocks in economically sensitive sectors that he calls his bellwether index. His index is pointing higher. 4. The stock market is reasonably valued. Based on the past 12 months' earnings, the S&P 500's price-earnings ratio is 16. The average P/E over the past 83 years is 17. Bear markets usually start when valuations are higher. Not everything is rosy, however. It almost never is. The biggest negative, of course, is the fiscal cliff -- huge spending cuts and tax increases that are slated to take effect January 1. If by that date Congress and the White House haven't reached agreement on a plan to prevent the automatic cuts and hikes from taking effect, the economy would likely head toward recession and a bear market would probably materialize. Largely as a consequence, the Conference Board's survey of CEO confidence has declined to near dangerous levels. When executives are pessimistic, they don't expand their businesses and they don't hire new employees. Advertisement The market's technical picture has a few clouds in it, too. Most notably, the Dow Jones transportation average has been going sideways. In a healthy market, it should be rising along with other stock indexes. Add everything together and you get a somewhat murky but largely positive picture. "The economic and technical evidence isn't warning us of an imminent bear market," says Stack. As a result, he recommends that his subscribers keep 77% of their investments in stocks. Stack sees the stock market and the economy at an inflection point. The economy is growing so slowly that it wouldn't take much to push it back into recession. But if we can get beyond the fiscal cliff, he says, "the surprise will be to the upside" -- both in the economy and the stock market. Let's hope so. Steven T.

As you will see, my site could use a little help with style.
I'm looking for some design ideas for the site. I'd like to keep the layout basically the same, but make it more attractive (not my forte).
Of course, I'm open to suggestions.
The service the site promotes is still in the trial phase, but eventually I will want paying customers. The site needs to look more professional than it does now; I want it to look like the kind of business trustworthy enough to give money to.
Feel free to ignore the 'Coming to Ballarat...' heading on the home page, that will be gone in a few weeks.
P.S. You'll notice there's a 'mobile version' as well. I don't need a redesign for that.

William Randolph Hearst, the famous American newspaper tycoon and publisher, was born in San Francisco in 1863, as the son of a wealthy father who made his fortune in mining. Hearst studied journalism at Harvard, where he was influenced by the great newspaper man Joseph Pulitzer, whose biggest rival he would later become. He got his first newspaper in 1887, at age 23, when his father gave him The San Francisco Examiner which he had accepted earlier as payment for a gambling debt. William Randolph Hearst set out a new course for journalism, reforming investigative reporting and not shunning sensationalism, introducing banner headlines and lavish illustrations. He hired famous reporters such as Ambrose Bierce, Jack London and Mark Twain.
Hearst acquired The New York Morning Journal in 1895, and launched The Evening Journal a year later. Soon he was the chief of a whole chain of American newspapers and magazines, giving him tremendous power over the distribution of information. Some say he used this to initiate the Spanish-American War of 1898, inciting anti-Spanish sentiments, with the object of increasing sales. He is also said to have inspired political assassination, writing an editorial piece about it just before President McKinley was killed. Hearst's ferocious and often immoral style of journalism was soon called "yellow journalism", after the strip 'The Yellow Kid' by R.F. Outcault which was printed in one of Hearst's papers.
The start of the Spanish-American War, 25 April 1898
William Hearst has meant a great deal for newspaper strip artists. Aware of how strips and illustrations lured a devoted audience, he set out to hire the greatest comic artists, such as Winsor McCay, George Herriman, James Swinnerton, Rudolph Dirks, Cliff Sterrett, Doc Winner, Carl Anderson, Edgar Wheelan, Harry Hershfield, Frederick Opper, Clare Briggs, Tad Dorgan, Milt Gross, Hal Foster, Otto Soglow and Jimmy Murphy. They had great artistic freedom, often being able to show their work in entire color supplements. Of course, this inspired rivalling newspapers to employ comic artists as well, and until the 1930s Depression, newspapers provided an unequaled opportunity for many comic artists.
The newspaper war between Pulitzer and Hearst;
drawn in the style of 'The Yellow Kid'
On the other hand, Hearst's treatment of his artists, which were basically no more than newspapermen, working solely for the purpose of attracting readers, has set the scene for disagreements between comic artists and newspapers ever since. In the early days, the copyright of newspaper strip lay with the newspaper, as well as licensing rights. Many artists have lost their own creations in fierce courtroom fights after they left the newspaper and wished to take their work with them. William Hearst founded the famous King Features Syndicate, which helps artists distribute their comics nation-wide, but also gives them unfavorable deals when it comes to copyright and licensing.
Hearst as a democrat, by Bergman 1906
Having an interest in politics, like his father, William Hearst ran for governor, but failed to win in 1906. He also turned to animation and film, producing over 100 titles.
In 1919, Hearst started the building of his famous Hearst Castle, an architectural masterpiece which took almost three decades to build and contains around 165 rooms, as well as underground vaults. The Hearst estate is located in the Santa Lucia Mountains and overlooks the Pacific Ocean. It is now a State Historic Monument and one of the most popular tourist destinations in California.
Hearst Castle
Starting with his role in the Spanish-American war, when a Spanish army captured a timberland wood belonging to Hearst, he nurtured a deep hatred against "those lazy pot-smoking Spaniards and Mexicans." In 1936-38, the Hearst newspapers led a fierce campaign against marihuana (probably for the first time introducing this word in the English language), claiming it led to violence, and laying the groundwork for the American drugs policy of today.
Hearst caricatured as politician
In 1941, young film maker Orson Welles made the movie 'Citizen Kane', which was completely based on William Randolph Hearst, depicting him as a ruthless newspaper man. Hearst tried to shut the film down but failed.
Hearst was also a philanthropist, giving money to various good causes. He founded the Hearst Foundation in 1945, which is still active. William Randolph Hearst was one of the most influential and controversial eccentrics of his time. He influenced American history in many important ways - some bad, but also good. His role in the development of newspaper comic strips is unequaled. Hearst was a publishing magnate that laid the roots for comics to become the great cultural asset they are today.
