It's been nearly a decade, but Jessica Alba is back at the bump 'n' grind.
Reprising the 2005 role she so memorably inhabited in "Frank Miller's Sin City" – an exotic dancer with a shadowy past, a pair of butt-less chaps and a rhinestone bustier – the lithesome actress can be seen revealing her assets in one of a newly released series of GIFs for that hard-boiled neo-noir thriller's sequel, "Sin City: A Dame to Kill For," which hits theaters Aug. 22.
As with the earlier film, "Dame" is co-directed by Robert Rodriguez (behind the 1996 vampire romp "From Dusk Till Dawn" and the hit "Spy Kids" film franchise) and iconic graphic novelist Frank Miller, who first broke through as a filmmaker with a co-director credit on the original "Sin City," an adaptation of his 1991 serial of the same name.
Then, as now, Sin City is a world of dive bars, dark allies and startling ultra-violence where man's basest instincts toward cruelty play out in starkly rendered black and white — with occasional bursts of crimson arterial splatter – a visual style with a heavy debt to the interplay between light and negative space in Miller's graphic novels.
In "Dame," Josh Brolin picks up where Clive Owen left off in the first "Sin City," portraying the gone-to-seed private eye Dwight McCarthy, who finds himself being marked for death by Ava Lord (Eva Green), the only woman he ever loved, in the new movie.
But short-haired, shirtless and plummeting into some kind of godless void, Brolin's character appears to be headed for something less than a happy ending in his "Dame to Kill For" GIF. (Check out his and several of the others below.)
Miller famously wrote and drew "Sin City" in 1991 with the intention of self-publishing a quick-hit, 48-page serial. Arranged around the exploits of the barely sane, tough-as-bricks hit man named Marv (later played by Mickey Rourke), out to avenge the murder of a prostitute, the first installment, "The Hard Goodbye," ran nearly 200 pages. It eventually spawned six more volumes that feature recurring characters, baroque violence and interlocking themes.
There were never any plans to make it into a film, but Rodriguez's persistence finally convinced Miller to take the leap.
Are you excited to see "Sin City: A Dame to Kill For"? What do you think of the new GIFs? Leave your thoughts in the comments section below.

U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham said Thursday that Libyans who met a team of visiting senators had expressed gratitude and want to repay the international community that rallied around Moammar Gadhafi's opponents and played a key role in the dictator's defeat.
The South Carolina senator traveled to Tripoli with three other Republican senators as part of the highest-profile American delegation since rebels, backed by NATO airstrikes that decimated Gadhafi's military forces, battled their way into the capital late last month and forced Gadhafi into hiding.
"There is a desire here by the Libyan people to make sure that those who helped will get paid back," Graham told journalists in the capital after he and the other senators _ John McCain of Arizona, Mark Kirk of Illinois and Marco Rubio of Florida _ toured Martyrs' Square, formerly named Green Square and the site of frequent Gadhafi speeches.
The four U.S. lawmakers also met with the head of the National Transitional Council, Mustafa Abdul-Jalil, and other high-ranking officials of the group that is now governing Libya.
The senators said American companies are hoping to tap into the wealth of oil and natural resources in Libya, which under Gadhafi long faced sanctions that prohibited much business.
"I think that American investors are more than eager to come invest here in Libya and we hope and believe that they will be given an opportunity to do so," McCain said.
He acknowledged, however, that it would be difficult for companies to get started until the country is completely secure. Gadhafi loyalists continue to put up a fierce resistance in three strongholds in central and southern Libya.
McCain, the top Republican on the Senate Armed Services Committee, said he was thrilled to be in Tripoli. In April, he traveled to the then-opposition's eastern stronghold of Benghazi, where he called the rebels "patriots" and "heroes."
"I've dreamed of returning to a liberated capital of a free Libya ever since I visited Benghazi in April and our visit to Tripoli today has been exhilarating and hopeful," McCain said
He called the Libyans an inspiration for people in other countries who are suffering under authoritarian regimes, singling out Iran, Syria, China and Russia, but warned of a "rocky road" ahead amid concerns about the proliferation of weapons and the inability of the new leadership to form a government that could pave the way for elections.
"The people of Libya today are inspiring the people in Tehran, in Damascus and even in Beijing and Moscow," he said. "They continue to inspire the world and let people know that even the worst dictators can be overthrown and be replaced by freedom and democracy."
He expressed confidence in the National Transitional Council, which is acting as Libya's government, and urged them to bring armed groups under the control of a central authority.
U.S. relations with Gadhafi's regime had undergone a seismic shift in recent years after the longtime Libyan leader renounced weapons of mass destruction in 2003 and agreed to pay compensation to the families of victims of 1980s terror attacks, including the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, blamed on Libyan agents.
The senators talked to the country's new rulers about the need for justice in the 1988 Lockerbie bombing, which killed 270 people, many of them Americans.
Scotland has asked the new transitional leaders of Libya for help tracking down those responsible now that Gadhafi is no longer in power.
McCain said he is confident the new Libyan government will help. "We'd like to know who else was connected with this," he said.
Kirk, of Illinois, said there were conflicting reports about the severity of the illness of the only suspect convicted in the attack, Abdel Baset al-Megrahi, who was freed on compassionate grounds in 2009.
He said it's up to the Libyan people, but he believes al-Megrahi should face further justice.
Libya's acting justice minister, Mohammed al-Alagi, said earlier this week that there was no reason to drag al-Megrahi back to court but he was willing to probe the possible involvement of others in the attack.
The trip contrasted sharply to the last visit by McCain and Graham to Tripoli in August 2009, when they met with Gadhafi and his son Muatassim to discuss the possible delivery of non-lethal defense equipment as the erratic Libyan leader was moving to normalize his relations with the international community.
According to a classified document released by WikiLeaks, the delegation, which included McCain, Graham and two other senators, Joe Lieberman and Susan Collins, held back-to-back meetings with Muatassim.
During that visit, McCain characterized the overall pace of the bilateral relationship as excellent during and noted the drastic changes over the previous five years. He also assured Muatassim that the United States wanted to provide Libya with the equipment it needs for its security, the WikiLeaks cable said.
Associated Press writer Donna Cassata in Washington contributed to this report.

Jackie's Brooklyn Kitchen & Bathroom Renovation
Name: Jackie Lenox
Location: Brooklyn, New York
Tell us about this home building or renovation project: We've been in our 100+ year old 4 story brick townhouse since 2004, DIY renovating room by room, sometimes floor by floor. When it was time to renovate our kitchen and bathroom we (finally!) hired a contractor and architect (my cousin). It was a huge job. Demolition down to the bare brick and floor joists, new floors windows, ceilings, walls and entirely new kitchen and bathroom materials. I had a very clear idea of the look I wanted and created all kinds of mood boards and researched the heck out of every product and material chosen. We renovated as green as possible, use some interesting materials and sources, and keep it local. And of course, we blogged the whole process!
What specific green materials, techniques, or processes went into this project?
In our kitchen:
- All new energy efficient appliances
- Since our floors and ceiling were pulled out we insulated with recycled denim insulation.
- Outside facing walls and around windows we used diy 'foam it green' insulation
- New energy efficient windows and door to the garden to replace the 1960's era terrible-ness
- Energy efficient lighting including led under-cabinet strip lights
- High efficiency AC
- Cork flooring
- Local materials and trades when possible
In our bathroom:
- In floor energy efficient heating
- Glass panel on bathroom door to let in natural light (in an otherwise windowless room) and reduce electrical usage
- Flourescent lighting to reduce energy usage (plus it looks so cool as a cove light)
In both rooms:
- Waterwise faucets
- Low VOC paint
What green building material or product were you most pleased about?
This may sound anticlimactic but I think all the new insulation is amazing. These were previously very cold rooms due to no insulation at all and now it's so nice and toasty, quiet, and comfortable. Our bedroom is right underneath the kitchen so the insulation and cork floor has helped reduce the noise level traveling through the floor as well.
What had you less than enthused? What would you do differently?
As much as I love the look and comfort of the cork floor, the installation has to be flawless. We used cork tiles that were glued onto an extremely smooth new subfloor with concrete leveling, and waterproof coating. This was so smooth but once the tiles go on you can kind of see every little lump and bump, which we thought there would be none of since our contractor went through great pains to make sure this was as smooth as possible (3 times over).
Have any advice for readers looking to green build or renovate their home?
I think the advice would be to just be open to new and interesting things. Look into weirdo materials and use things in different ways. The internet helps but also having an architect who's up on all the new materials and can suggest a new and unexpected way to use a material is great.
Thanks, Jackie!

We invested in a king, a real one (not a California King) when I was pregnant with number 2. Lifesaver, both for bedsharing while pregnant and for bedsharing with 2 kids after baby came.
My husband never would let us put the mattress on the floor, although I think that is the safest option. Instead we have a low bed (just a frame.) We used a detachable mesh style bed rail until I became concerned baby could/would crawl over it or around it without waking me. I forget at what age this was but somewhere after 8 months probably? Close to a year I think. Every kid is different in nighttime shenanigans, luckily mine have seemed to prefer snuggling into me than flopping away and off bed or night wandering. Anyway, by then we had moved older sibling to his own room and baby was large enough/old enough we personally felt fine having baby in between us in the middle of the bed.

25 December 2013, Geneva, Switzerland - As the security and humanitarian crisis in South Sudan deteriorates, UNOSAT is analysing satellite imagery yielding complementary information on the situation of thousands of people displaced by the mounting violence, reinforcing the admonition by the UN Secretary-General to those responsible for the violence: "They should know the world is watching."
UNOSAT has initially turned its attention to the presence and movement of internally displaced persons (IDPs) in the vicinity of UN compounds. "We look for IDPs and signs of destruction of civilian infrastructure in urban areas affected by armed violence" says Lars Bromley of UNOSAT. The team is working on imagery purchased from vendors and additional commercial imagery received thanks to a long-standing collaboration with the Humanitarian Information Unit of the US State Department.
In at least one of the UNOSAT maps, IDPs are visible inside one of the UNMISS bases near Juba Airport. Another map shows how IDPs have chosen to locate their camp next to a UNMISS base in an attempt to seek protection from violence. UNOSAT Manager Einar Bjorgo says "We are also providing information and imagery to our UN colleagues in the Secretariat who are mandated to support UNMISS in the field. I have received a direct request from the UN Cartographic Section of the UN Department of Field Support and I am very pleased we can assist them".
Earlier an UNMISS base in Akobo, in Jonglei state, was attacked by armed assailants who left some 20 civilians dead alongside two UN peacekeepers. The assailants were reported stealing weapons and ammunition from the base. On 24 December the UN Security Council responded to the situation adopting a resolution which calls for an immediate cessation of hostilities and overall increased force levels of the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS). Based on this decision the Mission would augment its military component up to 12,500 troops.

If you are like most people, you want to keep your skin as clear and healthy as possible. You may wonder how do you do that naturally? Most of us want to stay away from medication if possible due to the many side effects and the expense of it as well.
It is possible to make your skin better if you just know the right things to do on a regular basis that will work to keep your skin looking and staying its best. When you do things to help your skin look its best, it will.
Listed below are five ways to help your skin look and feel it's best without spending a fortune or without side effects:
1. Eat right– when you eat food that are good for you, you will begin to have smoother skin that looks good and that feels good as well. You can really make a difference in the amount of acne you get when you eat foods that are the best for your body. Try to eat fruits and vegetables because these are more all natural and can keep your body cleansed and feeling its best.
2. Get enough sleep – everyone needs at least eight hours of sleep a night to look and feel their best and it can have a strong impact on your skin in the process. If you don't get enough sleep it can affect your skin in a very bad way. So, try to do all you can to get your sleep because it is very important to your overall health.
3. Exercise on a regular basis – when you exercise daily it can impact the look of your skin. Exercise works to help you look and feel young. It can improve your health and can allow you to look and feel good in the process. So, be certain to exercise at least three times a week for thirty minutes or more.
4. Treat acne if you have it- you want to take care of problems as they occur and a great way to do this is to take the time to treat acne. You should keep the infected area cleansed and avoid touching it as well as use some over-the-counter medications or visit a doctor to get some thing to aid you in treating and controlling the acne.
5. Get professional help if you have severe acne – there are times when you just can't control your acne on your own and you will need to get assistance from a professional to do so. Do not hesitate to get the help you need in treating acne.
When you follow these five steps, it is highly likely that you will be able to get rid of the acne you have and also prevent any from occurring in the long run. We all want to have the best skin we can and the best way to do this is to take care of our skin.

An autopsy carried out at the weekend proved inconclusive and toxicology results will not be available for weeks.
The actress reportedly died in her sleep.

ANAHEIM – – Hours before the first pitch Thursday night, Albert Pujols approached a reporter in the Angels clubhouse, and wanted to talk about Game 7 of the NBA Finals.
The Angels slugger correctly predicted a Miami Heat championship.
But no one, not even Albert The Great, could've foresaw an Angels comeback from seven runs down against Felix Hernandez of the Seattle Mariners, one of baseball's best pitchers.
But that's exactly what happened in a 10-9 Angels victory over the the Mariners before 37,711 at Angel Stadium.
Alberto Callaspo walked with the bases loaded and two outs in the eighth, capping a series of Angels comebacks from 7-0, 8-1, 8-2 and 9-8 deficits.
Ernesto Frieri made it stand up with a 1-2-3 ninth for his 17th save, running his streak to 22 consecutive batters retired in his past eight outings, including 12 strikeouts — adding Michael Saunders and Michael Morse to the latter total to wrap up a tie for the second-largest comeback in franchise history.
"It's a great effort from our club," Manager Mike Scioscia said. "You're rarely going to get down that much to a pitcher of Felix's caliber and come back into it, but our guys just did a great job.
"You just couldn't piece it together any better than they did and I think that the quality of the at-bats was tremendous. Peter Bourjos did an incredible job, Mike Trout had a great game … I think we ran the bases the way we need to, we stole some key bases to put ourselves in position, and just a great game."
Trout had four hits, including three off Hernandez, who's 22-7 in June. Bourjos had three hits and Pujols chipped in with a pair of RBI singles.
The Mariners touched Angels starter Tommy Hanson for seven runs in two-plus innings. Hanson is 16-2 in June during his career, including 10-0 since 2011.
"I think I was just pulling my pitches," Hanson said. "They were getting too much of the plate and they (Mariners) let me know.
"I was trying to adjust on the fly and it just wasn't quite working out so yeah, talked to Butch (pitching coach Mike Butcher) and we'll come up with a game plan to fix that and be better next time."
But the Angels scored seven off Hernandez, the 2010 AL Cy Young winner, including five in the fifth inning when they had a franchise-record seven consecutive hits off King Felix — with a Bourjos homer to start the rally, and a Mark Trumbo three-run shot to cut the deficit to 8-7.
"The important thing is we kept playing baseball and we all like that," Scioscia said. "Whether we came back or not the fact is you're down 8-1 and you're in a hole and these guys in the dugout, on the field, just kept chipping away against one of the best pitchers in our league and got back in the game, finished it off against a good bullpen.
"So a lot of good things that we can talk about in the game but I think the most important thing tonight is we kept playing baseball. These guys played hard."

The Pirates will host Brainerd/Little Falls Saturday at 7:30 p.m.
A five-goal second period propelled Thief River Falls Monday to an 8-0 victory over the Pirates at Crookston Sports Center in a Section 8A matchup. Eight different Prowlers scored goals.
Prowler junior goalie Frances Marshall recorded the shut out with eight saves, including five in the third period.
Pirate freshman goalie Lexie Cormican had 16 saves before being knocked out of the game with an injury late in the second period. Senior goalie Erica Allrich recorded nine saves the rest of the way.
Thief River Falls took a 2-0 lead into the first intermission with a power play goal just 1:30 into the game by Kora Torkelson and a goal by Emily Bergland with 4:29 remaining.
The Prowlers' Morgan Martell got a shorthanded goal just 44 seconds into the second period, while Tessa Jorde and Kira Johnson scored goals at 5:14 and 7:51 marks to give Thief River Falls a 5-0 lead. Sylvia Marolt then scored on a shorthanded goal with 2:51 left before Madison Poole popped in the seventh goal with just three seconds left in the period.
Kaylee Eskeli finished out the scoring with about three minutes left in the third period.
The Pirates got banged up in their second game of the season with Cormican, sophomore Leah Trostad and freshman Jayden Allrich each having to leave the game with injuries.
Crookston, now 0-2, will host Brainerd/Little Falls Saturday, Nov. 23 with the puck set to drop at 7:30 p.m.

Israeli leader seeks alternative to ban on non-Orthodox female prayer at Jerusalem holy site
JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel's prime minister has instructed a quasi-governmental Jewish organization to find a solution for non-Orthodox Jewish female groups wishing to pray at one of Judaism's holiest sites.
An official said Tuesday Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu asked Natan Sharansky, chairman of the Jewish Agency, to look into the matter. The official spoke anonymously according to government regulations.
Last week Israeli police detained women from a liberal Jewish group who approached the Western Wall in Jerusalem carrying prayer shawls. Orthodox Jews insist those are for men only. The women seek to worship at the site without such restrictions.
Jewish Agency spokesman Benjamin Rutland said Netanyahu told Sharansky that the Western Wall "must remain a source of Jewish unity rather than division." The wall is a remnant of the biblical Jewish Temple compound.
Homeowners appeal Santa Fe Co. deal with religious group that allows church construction
SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — A group of Taos-area homeowners is appealing Santa Fe County's decision to allow construction of a church where members drink a hallucinogenic tea as a sacrament.
The six Arroyo Hondo homeowners object to the county spending about $400,000 to extend a waterline and build a sewage-treatment system there.
The notice of appeal filed in state court Wednesday argues using taxpayer money violates New Mexico's anti-donation clause and the U.S. Constitution's separation of church and state.
The Santa Fe New Mexican reports the church known as the UDV has been involved in legal battles for a decade and consistently declined comment.
The church sued after the county rejected it building plan. The county agreed last month to let it build a temple and to put in the water line.
Bible stolen from St. Louis church several days before holiday turns up at antique shop
ST. LOUIS (AP) — A 19th-century Bible stolen from a St. Louis church several days before Christmas has turned up at an antique shop and a suspect has been arrested.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that a man hawked the Bible for $30 Sunday. But after conducting an Internet search Wednesday, the store that bought the nearly 15-pound Bible learned it had been stolen from St. Johns Lutheran Church. Police were called and the Bible returned.
The church has been the target of repeated burglaries. Thieves have stolen property, ruined food for the poor and damaged the building itself.
Police believe the man who's been arrested may be responsible for six burglaries at the church since September. Now, an anonymous donor is contributing money so the church can buy a security system.
Man indicted in bleach-throwing attack on NY rabbi who aides child sex abuse victims
NEW YORK (AP) — A Satmar Hasidic man has been indicted on charges he tossed bleach into the face of a New York rabbi who publicizes claims of child sexual abuse in the ultra-Orthodox Jewish community.
Brooklyn District Attorney Charles Hynes announced Wednesday that Meilech Schnitzler was indicted on two counts of attempted assault, two counts of assault and criminal possession of a weapon. The top charge carries a potential prison sentence of 15 years. A lawyer for Schnitzler did not immediately return a message for comment.
Prosecutors say Schnitzler threw a cup of bleach in the face and eye of Rabbi Nathan Rosenberg on Dec. 11. The government says both men live in Williamsburg and knew each other. Hynes says such "an act of thuggery in broad daylight" cannot be tolerated.
Utah births still highest in country, but they declined for 4th straight year
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Fewer babies have been born in Utah each of the past four years.
New data from the Utah Department of Health shows that about 1,000 fewer babies were born in 2011 than in 2010. That marks the first time there has been a decline four straight years since the 1980s.
The 51,144 babies born in 2011 in Utah last year were the fewest since 2004. The peak was 2007-2008 when 55,000 babies were born each year in Utah.
Utah still has one of the nation's highest birth rates despite the slowdown.
Officials at Intermountain Healthcare believe the decrease is due to the economic downturn. About 60 percent of the state's babies are born at Intermountain hospitals.
Utah County has state's highest birth rate. The largest city and county seat in that county is Provo, home of Brigham Young University. BYU is owned by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Colorado Springs pastor punched while trying to halt burglary at neighbors' house
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) — Police say a Colorado Springs pastor was punched in the face while trying to stop a Christmas Day robbery at a neighbor's house.
The Colorado Springs Gazette reports that Jim Stevens, youth pastor at Central Church of the Nazarene, called police and went to investigate after another neighbor saw movement inside the house and an unfamiliar car parked outside.
The residents weren't home.
As Stevens was outside, a man and a woman walked out with their arms filled with items they had taken. Police say the man rushed at Stevens, threw the stolen goods at him and punched him before running away.
The man escaped but the woman and a second woman who had been waiting outside the house were arrested.

Updated: The Eagles ended up drafting 11 players, three on the offensive line, three linebackers, a couple running backs, a safety, a corner and a kicker.
Not quite what we'd expected, especially the part about no defensive linemen.
Earlier: With their first pick of the fifth round, 149th overall, the Eagles took Pitt running back Dion Lewis, kind of a Shady McCoy Mini-me. Lewis, recruited to Pitt by McCoy, he said, is listed at 5-7, 195.
After the pick, McCoy tweeted: "So ANDY really listen to my advice."
Lewis noted the Eagles like to use their backs for screens. "I'm the type of back who can do some of the same things" as McCoy, he said. Lewis is the first guy the Birds have taken in this draft who was actually pegged a little higher than he went. He acknowledged he "had high hopes" after leaving Pitt following his sophomore year, having set a freshman-soph school record with 2,860 rushing yards.
He doesn't turn 21 until Sept. 27. (No truth to the rumor he is actually Danny Watkins' son.)
Lewis said he hasn't talked to McCoy yet today, but feels "he's going to be able to help me out, help me get used to some things.
The Eagles traded their next pick, 153 in the fifth, plus a seventh-rounder (227) for 161 in the fifth and 194 in the sixth, from the Jets.
With that 161 pick in the fifth, the Eagles took Julian Vandervelde, a 6-2, 300-pound guard from Iowa. Hard to believe the choice didn't have something to do with former offensive line coach and curent d-coordinator Juan Castillo having a son at Iowa, cornerback Greg Castillo. Juan watches himself some Hawkeyes.
Vandervelde, a high school teammate of the Eagles' Austin Howard, has sung the National Anthem for Iowa appearances by President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
"Hopefully, my football career will be able to overshadow the singing career," he said in a conference call after the pick was made.
Still not a single D lineman for the Birds. Guess that Phillip Hunt guy, the DE from the CFL the Eagles signed, must really be all that.
At 191, in the sixth, the Eagles took Jason Kelce, a center-guard from Cincinnati. At 193 -- the Eag;les traded up from 194, swapping with the Patriots ject because they like to do deals with the Pats, it seems -- the Birds drafted linebacker Brian Rolle, from Ohio State.
Two seventh-rounders to go, unless Trader Howie finds a way to stockpile some more.
Stay tuned.

NH College Roundup: Dartmouth gridders win opener
September 22. 2013 10:01PM
The Dartmouth College football team scored on its first three possessions en route to a 30-23 victory over Butler on Saturday night in Indianapolis.
Sophomore quarterback Dalyn Williams threw for 228 yards and ran for another 119 to lead Dartmouth (1-0) to its fourth consecutive opening-day victory. Williams also rushed for a touchdown.
Dartmouth senior Dominick Pierre scored three TDs, picking up 93 yards on 23 carries.
Butler (2-2) rallied from a 30-10 deficit in the fourth quarter behind QB Matt Lancaster, who completed a school-record 42 passes (on 68 attempts) for 395 yards. His last pass, from the Dartmouth 34, fell incomplete at the goal line as time expired.
KSC teams beat PSU
The Keene State College soccer teams beat Plymouth State on Saturday night, the men prevailing 5-0 in Keene and the women winning 3-0 in Plymouth.
In the men's game, senior Scott Douglas scored a pair of goals helped KSC improve to 2-5 (1-0 in the Little East Conference). PSU dropped to 2-4 and 0-1. Malcolm Cheney made three saves to notch his first shutout of the season.
In the women's game, Hayley Kenyon's header in the 19th minute proved to be the winner for Keene State. Lee's Kara Pavlidis also scored, helping KSC improve to 4-2-1 overall and 1-0 in the LEC. PSU slipped to 1-4 and 0-1.
UNH booters prevail in OT
Sophomore Jesus Tudela Zaragoza scored the game-winning goal in the eighth minute of overtime to lift the University of New Hampshire men's soccer team over Grand Canyon University, 1-0, Saturday night.

LONDON -- Sixers coach Doug Collins was broadcasting the Olympic semifinal between Spain and Russia when it became official. The NBA office had approved the stunning four-team deal that brings center Andrew Bynum to Philadelphia.
To say Collins was happy would be understating it. The only possible negative is that he has to wait a couple months to get his radically rebuilt team on a basketball court.
Collins had a lot to say. Here's some quick hits. There will be more in The Inquirer and here on philly.com tomorrow.
On big changes after a good season: "I thought it was incredible what our guys did. I thought we maxed out our time. For us to take the next step, we were going to have to make some changes. One of the keys one was having to amnesty Elton (Brand). It was the only way to get any flexibility. I think a lot of people felt like we were doing all these things for salary cap room next year, but we had in our sights, could we get in the (mix) for Andrew Bynum. He might be the best low-post center in the NBA. You can throw the ball into him, he can score, he can defend, he can rebound. He's from New Jersey and I think he was looking forward to coming back East."
On the impact: "We think we've gotten bigger on the front line. We're more athletic. We're bigger on the perimeter, we've added shooting. All the things we set out to do, we think we've done that. Miami is still obivously the class of the East, but we think we can line up and play with most teams now."
How it came together: "We had three teams that we locked in to doing it. But Orlando was looking for a home for Dre. At the last minute, Denver came into the picture to be the fourth team. For them to move Dre and get Aflalo and Harrington was the thing that really pushed it over the top and got them to do the deal."
On being aggressive: "The thing I love is our owner has been very, very committed to making things happen. Amnestying EB was a big thing. You have to be realistic when a team is maxed out and make changes. Josh Harris and I always talk about intelligent risk. His business is built on intelligent risks, and we think we've taken a lot of intelligent risks.
On the departure of Andre Iguodala, traded to Denver: "We're going to miss Dre. The thing I'm happy for Dre about -- the last two years, he finished on an uptick. What he did to help us win, the Chicago game where he goes the length of the floor and makes to free throws to put us into the next round, the way he defended (against Boston in the second round). I wish Dre well. He's been on a world championship team, he's been on the all-defensive team, he's been an All-Star, he has a chance to win a gold medal. The two years I've known him, good things have happened for him."
On Iguodala's reaction: "I'm going to talk to him before the (U.S.-Argentina semifinal) game here. My son Chris saw him in the hotel today. He said, `Dad, he's fine. He was in good spirits.' We had to wait until it went through. The conference call just went through. I'm going to thank Dre for everything and wish him well. It's interesting how things work. I believe we open up with Denver."
On getting a dominant center: "You've got to have a good big man. You have to be able to throw that ball in the post."

'Upskirting' is illegal in Texas
Q. I heard that the Massachusetts's Supreme Court said taking a video under the skirt of a woman is not illegal. I don't understand how a court can say this is legal. Is it legal in Texas?
A. First, it is important to understand what the Massachusetts's court said, and did not say. The court was not asked to simply rule whether the practice of "upskirting" is legal. The court was asked whether a state law intended to prohibit "Peeping Tom" voyeurism of completely or partially undressed people also applied to upskirting. The court held that the clear language of the statute did not apply to upskirting, and that the Peeping Tom statute, which required a completely or partially undressed person, was not violated. My opinion is that the Massachusetts's legislature will quickly enact a new law that covers the practice of upskirting.
Texas, on the other hand, has an improper photography statute that does apply to upskirting. The issues that arose in Massachusetts would not arise in Texas.
Q. In 2006, my ex-husband was ordered to pay child support. He has continued to pay on time. Since that time, however, he has changed jobs and is making much more money. Shouldn't he be paying me more for support?
A. He probably should be paying you more, but until you get the order modified, he has the legal right to keep paying as originally ordered. Either party may go back to court to have a child support order modified whenever there is a substantial change in circumstances. A new job with a higher salary should entitle you to a larger payment. I recommend you speak with a family law attorney about modifying the order.
Q. I rent an extra room in my home on a month-to-month basis. If a tenant does not pay his rent, am I allowed to lock him out of the house?
A. Even though you are renting just one room, the law considers you a landlord, and you are subject to the same laws as other residential landlords. Under the law, a landlord is not allowed to simply lock out a tenant who does not pay rent. A landlord may change the locks on a tenant's door; however, the landlord must make a key available for the tenant to come and go, 24 hours a day. In other words, you cannot lock out your tenant. If your tenant will not move out voluntarily, you will have to file an eviction proceeding in justice court to have him evicted.
Q. I am getting divorced. My husband has agreed to keep the house and make all the payments. What do I do to get my name taken off of the mortgage?
A. You cannot just have your name taken off of the mortgage. The divorce is between you and your husband. The mortgage company is not a part of your divorce and is not bound by whatever you and your husband agree to. The only way to have your name removed is for the mortgage company to agree to remove it, or have your husband refinance the property in his name alone.
Q. I owe a student loan from more than 10 years ago. They now are telling me that if I don't pay, they will garnish my wages. How long do they have to collect? I thought there was no wage garnishment in Texas.
A. Unfortunately for you, there are basically are no time limits within which government-backed student loans must be collected. Even though the debt is 10 years old, it may still be collected. Additionally, although wage garnishment is generally prohibited in Texas, wage garnishment for student loans is based on federal law that pre-empts Texas law. In other words, if you don't pay, your wages will be garnished. Under the law, you should be given an opportunity to make arrangements to pay before wage garnishment is used. I suggest you take advantage of this opportunity.

Malaysia Airports Completed School Adoption Project for Nine Schools
07 November 2009
Kuala Lumpur, 7 November 2009 - Nine schools adopted by Malaysia Airports 'graduated' today, as Malaysia Airports completed the two years adoption period
of its Beyond Borders program, initiated under the Khazanah's Promoting Intelligence, Nurturing Talents, Advocating Responsibility' (PINTAR) project.
Tan Sri Datuk Dr. Aris Othman, Chairman of Malaysia Airports, said: "We have reached the end of the two years period of adoption of these schools, and we are positive that the English language proficiency at our nine adopted schools will be much improved via all the projects that we have implemented, based on the response that we received."
Malaysia Airports will move on to adopt other schools, and hope to achieve the same support and emulate the achievement as the first nine adopted schools, in terms of involvement and interest in English language.
The nine adopted schools were chosen based on the proximity to the airport in the effort to contribute to the surrounding communities Malaysia Airports operates in. This was one of the reasons why Malaysia Airports was awarded the prestigious Community Engagement Award by Enterprise Asia in the Asia Responsible Entrepreneurship Awards (AREA) 2009 Malaysia.
Malaysia Airports allocated a total of RM 60,050 cash prizes as a reward to all participants of these competitions. Tan Sri Aris said: "We would like to encourage t teachers and students to continuously improve their English proficiency, and rewarding them is one of the best ways to further inculcate their interest in English."
In the Golden Pen Awards Essay Writing Competition involving Standard 4 pupils from the adopted schools, more than 1,000 entries were submitted, an increment of two-fold over last year's 500 entries. A total of 24 entries were shortlisted and judged to select the top 3 essays.
For the Golden Pen Awards Essay Writing Competition, Mohd Fitri Mansor of SK Petagas, Sabah won the first prize, taking away cash prizes of RM 1,000, Nor Fatin Liyana Ghazali of SK Pokok Sena, Penang was second and went home with cash prize of RM 700 while Faiz Farhan Ahm. Nadzri of SK Pengkalan Chepa was third and received RM 500.
The inaugural 'Act It Up' Interschool Drama Competition was introduced as part of Malaysia Airports' effort to create a fun and creative method of learning English and Science among Malaysia Airports' adopted school community.
The competition was opened to all Standard 3 and Standard 5 students, carrying the theme "Everything around you is science". Each school was required to produce a 15-minute drama comprising a team of maximum 5 students. The objective of this acting competition is to help increase students' interest and knowledge in science.
Three schools made it to the final stage - SK Petagas, Kota Kinabalu, SK Pokok Sena, Kepala Batas, and SK Batu Maung, Bt. Maung, Pulau Pinang. The results saw SK Pokok Sena, Penang won the first prize of 5,000, another school from Penang, SK Batu Maung was second and received RM 3,000 and SK Petagas, Sabah won RM 2,000 for third prize.
For special awards, Ammar Daniel Anuar of SK Pokok Sena was The Best Actor, Syazana Husna Othman Mydin won The Best Actress and Anuar Ismail was The Best Director. All went home with cash prizes of RM300 each.
Earlier today, four schools competed in the final stage of Malaysia Airports' 'Beyond Borders Project Interschool Competition', presenting their schools' projects to judges. The finalists were SK Batu Maung Pulau Pinang, SK Pulo, Kuching, Sarawak, SK Pengkalan Chepa, Kota Bharu, Kelantan and SK Wira, Kuantan, Pahang.
One of the objectives of 'Beyond Borders' Interschool Competition is to enhance the usage of English as the medium for instructions in science and mathematics whereby teachers play a significant role in promoting English amongst the students particularly in science and mathematics. It will also aid the teaching process and ultimately ease the adoption of English in schools.
SK Wira, Kuantan, Pahang emerged as champion and received RM 10,000, SK Pulo, Kuching, Sarawak won the second place and cash prize of RM7,000 and SK Batu Maung, Penang was third and received RM 3,000.
A total of 62 teachers and 88 students attended the Beyond Borders Awards ceremony, accompanied by 34 parents to give moral support to the students. Guest judges comprised of representatives from media agency and government ministry.
To further celebrate and encourage participation, Malaysia Airports created special awards for Beyond Borders Awards 2009. The special awards and the winners were:
Most Reformed School (SK Petagas, Sabah)
Most Original Idea (SK Pulo, Sarawak)
Most Creative Project (SK Batu Maung, Penang)
Extra Mile (SK Pulo, Sarawak)
Most Supportive Regional Representative (En. Sunif Naiman, Kuching international Airport)
Best Single Point of Contact (Cikgu Roslinda Intan Md Kasim from SK Bukit Changgang, Banting, Selangor)
All winners received cash prizes of RM 300.00 each, accompanied by trophies and certificates.
The grand prize winner of Best Beyond Borders School for overall achievement was SK Batu Maung, Penang who walked away with a cash prize of RM 10,000.00, accompanied by a trophy and certificate. All nine schools also received their graduation certificates to mark the end of their adoption period with Malaysia Airports.
Y.Bhg. Dato' Asariah Mior Shaharudin, Deputy Director General of Teacher Professional Development Sector, Ministry of Education and Y.Bhg. Tan Sri Datuk Dr. Aris Othman, Chairman of Malaysia Airports presented the prizes to all winners.
In her speech Dato' Asariah applauded the proactive role played by Malaysia Airports in elevating and improving the academic standards as well as character building of the students from the participating schools.
She added: "Beyond Borders is rather unique in nature as it aims to give sustainable impact to the overall school community and implemented based on a comprehensive framework. In this respect, Malaysia Airports has gone beyond its business responsibilities and acknowledges the responsibility to educate. This shows that Malaysia Airports is embracing the nation's education aspiration."
Tan Sri Aris said: "We hope our commitment in improving the education level at this school will further stimulate the students, and also the teachers, to improve their performance from time to time. We want to leave a lasting positive impact to the schools and ultimately our Malaysia Airports' children."

New Jersey officials say retail giant Kmart has agreed to pay more than $300,000 in penalties after state inspectors found expired infant formula and non-prescription medications being sold at 19 stores.
The Division of Consumer Affairs says Kmart will pay $302,500 in fines and the cost of inspections, as well as donate $25,000 worth of infant formula to charity.
A spokesman for Kmart says the retail chain cooperated with investigators, takes customer safety seriously, and has implemented additional safeguards to ensure they don't sell expired products.
State consumer affairs officials say inspectors found a total of 257 packages of infant formula and non-prescription medications past the expiration date at stores in Atlantic, Bergen, Burlington, Camden, Cape May, Essex, Gloucester, Mercer, Monmouth, Morris, Ocean, Passaic, and Somerset counties.

No purer sound than the human voice, and no vocal ensemble whose sound has to be more precisely measured and balanced than a chamber choir. The Nederlands Kamerkoor (The Netherlands Chamber Choir), which celebrated its 75th anniversary in 2012, knows a thing or two about that, having been a top-class chamber choir for decades. Their field of activity encompasses the entire chamber choir repertoire, from medieval to contemporary and from a cappella to accompanied. The choir is an independent organisation, not attached to an opera or broadcasting company. As well as putting on its own concert series in a number of Dutch cities, the choir regularly collaborates with ensembles such as the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, the Asko|Schönberg Ensemble and the Orchestra of the 18th Century.
In 1937 the choir's founder Felix de Nobel assembled a chamber choir which consisted of a number of young soloists. After the Second World War he re-formed the choir. Within a few years he had created a homogeneous ensemble in which the voices blended with each other and coalesced into a genuine chamber choir sound. Invitations from foreign festivals and from the Holland Festival followed. Having initially proposed a modest subsidy, the Dutch government followed this in 1965 with a structural one. Among the artistic highlights of this period are the multiple tours of the United States and the Holland Festival opera productions conducted by Carlo Maria Giulini.
When in 1972 Felix de Nobel laid down his chief conductor's baton, a period of exploration ensued. The choir was ready for some innovation, and achieved this by working on a project basis with specialists in various fields. Conductors such as Leonhardt, Harnoncourt, Christie and the choir's Flemish honorary guest conductor Paul Van Nevel, now an indispensable element in their programming, helped create for the choir a new reputation as interpreters of early music. At the same time, conductors including Ed Spanjaard and Reinbert de Leeuw led the choir in pioneering performances of contemporary music.
In 1987 another chief conductor was appointed. Uwe Gronostay from Germany used his speciality - the Late Romantic repertoire - to hone the choir's sound to perfection. His successors also set their stamp on programming: the Estonian conductor Tõnu Kaljuste with attractive choral music from Eastern and Northern Europe, Stephen Layton with stimulating combinations of British and French repertoire. There then followed another period without a chief conductor.
How multifaceted the Nederlands Kamerkoor is these days, is demonstrated not only by the programmes in its own subscription series, but also by its many collaborative projects and premières of works it has commissioned. Among the composers who have written for the choir are Francis Poulenc, Frank Martin, James MacMillan, Sir John Tavener, Giya Kancheli, Sir Harrison Birtwistle, Mauricio Kagel, Karin Rehnqvist and Edith Canat de Chizy, as well as several Dutch composers. In many of the works, singers from the choir are given solo roles, proving again and again the enormous versatility of the individual choir members. Permanent guest conductor Peter Dijkstra and choirmaster Klaas Stok play a significant part in the preparation and performance of the very demanding repertoire in which the choir is well versed.
The Nederlands Kamerkoor has released some seventy-five CDs, several of which have been awarded an Edison or a Diapason d'Or. In recent seasons, tours have taken the ensemble to countries such as France, the United States, Canada, Spain and Poland. With unusual programmatic formulas, such as a semi-staged evening of Burt Bacharach songs arranged for chamber choir, or a programme of psalms in the synagogue of the Liberal Jewish Community of Amsterdam, the choir continues its process of rejuvenation. To watch over this process, and over the preservation of the precious chamber choir culture so characteristic of the NKK, in the season 2011-2012 a new chief conductor arrived: the 32-year old Risto Joost from Estonia. In 2011 and 2012 two cds were released, conducted by Risto Jost, with works of Arvo Pärt.

Words by Sean Moeller, Illustration by Johnnie Cluney, Recording engineered by Mike Gentry
Chicago songwriter Dick Prall is one of the many million take-it-where-you-can-get-it musicians, playing show after show, working for whatever small piece of the pie he can get on any given night. He's one of those hard-gigging musicians whose name you think you're seeing everywhere because he actually is everywhere and he's all of those places fairly frequently. He burns himself out and he goes through those periods of self-doubt and reflection often as well, wondering why it is he's working himself so hard for the few, but incredibly gratifying experiences that fuel all of his fires. He knows, deep down, that there are easier ways to make a living. None of them live up to what he believes a living should be though and that's where the buck stops. It's where his moments of pity, or whatever he'd like to call it, all evaporate and become wispy little footnotes that are quickly swept up into a dustpan and tossed into the garbage with all of the other shit that he intends to get out of the house the first chance he gets.
He was reminded of the reason that he does what he does - crafting sharp and significant, emotionally valid pop songs - when he spoke with his young, teenage daughter a few years ago, when she overheard him speaking with her mother about potentially cutting back on his playing and possibly shutting down the operation altogether. He'd gotten to the point where he regretted being away from his daughter for lengthy periods of time, for missing key occasions and for not being there for her in case she needed her dad. He felt that it was too much, that it was selfish and he'd begun to feel like it wasn't worth it as much as it used to be, but then she put it all into perspective for him. She told him that she was fine - not that she didn't need him, but that she was doing alright - and she openly expressed her concern about who her father would be if he didn't write and play songs. She told him that she didn't think that he would be the same person. He wouldn't know who he was. She told him, "You have to write songs."
It changed everything for Prall, a man who has made a modest career out of his resiliency and who probably had a beautiful, heaving and happy cry over that conversation, later that evening. In a way, it's one of those honest little fractions of time that Prall is the best at putting to music, one of those parts of our lives that - left to nature - get woven into the backdrop of all the harried action, but pound-for-pound were the parts that we are most living for. Prall is someone, after you've seen him perform live, who seems as if he was born to be a performer - lively and engaging. In conversation, he's the same way, collecting all manner of reference, character and anecdote to be spun together into something or nothing at all. He's just here, letting it all strike him how it may please and if anything becomes of it, that's fine. It will remain a part of his digestive process no matter what. He sings, "There's a million sappy reasons for all the shit that you've been through." It's a line, when he sings it, that is not meant to be an excuse, but an accusation, a trembling threat to get over yourself and just carry on with yourself - however you'd like to do it. He's a man of his word.

Flights at Baltimore-Washington International Airport are getting back on track after a lightning strike shut the airport down for a portion of Thurday afternoon.
An FAA employee was flipping a switch to an engine generator at BWI as part of severe weather precautions around 2:30 p.m. Sources told NBC News' Tom Costello the generator was hit by lightning, in turn striking the worker, who was transported to a nearby shock trauma center in unknown condition.
BWI officials shut down BWI's air traffic control tower as a result of the strike and suspended all flights to and from the airport. Flights headed to BWI are being diverted to Dulles International and other area airports.
As of 7:30 p.m., 118 flights had been canceled as a result of the accident.
That strike was one of five that hit the BWI airfield today, seasoned Baltimore-area meteorologist Justin Berk tweeted this afternoon.
The airport began reopening just before 5 p.m. but two runways remain closed, according to BWI officials. In a statement, the FAA officials said BWI's air traffic control tower remains closed -- a consolidated radar facility has assumed control of BWI's airspace.
BWI wasn't the only airport affected by the weather Thursday -- thunderstorms are causing delays at several major East Coast airports.

Unmetric, the social media benchmarking company, has launched SatisfactionMetrics, a host of new customer service modules designed to give Fortune 500 brands and top agencies an understanding of how best to turn rabid customers into raving fans.
Unmetric's SatisfactionMetrics modules will help companies analyse how brands handle customer queries, ultimately helping the company gauge how well it is connecting with its consumers on Facebook and Twitter.
For Twitter, Unmetric adds an "@reply breakdown" to its social intelligence platform. Unmetric indexes more than 5,000 of the world's biggest brands, sorting @replies to customers in terms of the most common calls to action and responses. This allows companies to understand how their customer service strategy stacks up to their industry competitors.
The SatisfactionMetrics module examines the frequency of each strategy to expose industry-wide norms and oddities that could be used to inform brands on best practices.
To put these strategies in context, Unmetric delved into the airline sector, an industry that routinely uses social media to communicate with frustrated customers. According to the Unmetric database, Southwest Airlines is overwhelmingly apologetic in its @replies, with more than 80 percent of the 'call to action' categorized Twitter responses being an apology of some sort. United Airlines takes a different approach, apologizing fewer than 5 percent of the time in the same category of tweets. Instead the airline chooses to direct customers to a link or phone number.
These new Twitter analyses are coupled with Unmetric's unique Average Reply Time tracking ability, which brings to light the brands tweeting fastest in response to incoming tweets, to reveal whether a company is flying or flopping at customer service on Twitter.
In addition to this SatisfactionMetrics module for Twitter, Unmetric also added Average Reply Time to its Facebook metrics. Brands can now benchmark their Facebook response efforts against their competition by comparing how frequently and quickly they are replying versus others.
Unmetric has also revamped its sentiment analysis feature for Facebook responses. A user can now look at whether a brand tends to jump in on the positive or negative threads of conversation initiated by fans. This is a great pointer to understand a brand's perspective towards customer engagement on Facebook and to see whether it takes notice of the bouquets or the brickbats.
"Facebook and Twitter today serve as the public face of a company," said Lux Narayan, co-founder and CEO of Unmetric, in a statement. "When these pages are mired by poorly managed complaints, brands appear insensitive and out of touch. When met with effective strategy, even the most callous complaint can become an opportunity. We turned our attention to customer service analytics to give CMOs and social media managers the clearest understanding of how to best achieve this."
Interpreting Customer Life Cycles to Increase Lifetime Value
Use these indices to manage customer engagement and predict your renewal business.

I just watched the first episode last night and loved it. I'm quite captivated by Nagi, beautiful character design. I have nothing but praise for the animation quality, direction and voice acting. It's all excellent in every respect.
I'm wondering about something, though... the puns in the translation and how well they come across. I watched the [Tree-Subs & SHiN-gx] version first and after seeing the notes at the end about lack of translators and missed puns (and not continuing the project) I looked for a different one.
I watched that first episode again with the [Eien no Anime] version and felt it came across better. One expample that stands out is when Jin is asking Nagi questions.
In the SHiN version she says, "I'm the one who should be asking questions," while in the EnA version she says, "That's my line," which feels more fitting to what Nagi's personality seems to be shaping up to be than the other translation.
So, I'm curious if anyone has a preference. I'd like to enjoy the show to it's fullest extent and the way something like puns and witty lines comes across is important in that regard. I see now that SHiN is working with Genjo-Subs. I prefer to get all of a series from the same fansub group when that's possible.

EnA has a good track record of being "true to the spirit of the dialog" while not falling into the localization trap of playing too fast and loose with what was said. If you're watching Japanese people do Japanese things, its rather silly to grind all the Japanese aspects out of it by extreme localization. Pretty much any series that I've watched that EnA has done has ended up as my "archive" version. I don't know if the team members are the same as they've been in past series though...
Japanese puns are exceptionally difficult to convey without torturing the dialog. "fresh offering" ... If they're explicitly called out as puns like Nagi does, I'd forgive most groups if they put a footnote about the pun in the subtitles.

Based from what we have seen, there's a huge chance that it will have a second season. There's no way they can com up with any kind of conclusion with a mere 1x ep for this show anyway.

So will Jin marry Nagi or his child hood friend or Nagi sisters? I like to know that part cause it seems like Jin has taken a liking and probably more to Nagi. I seem to go a harem show but seems to imply more would happen??? Maybe I am just reading to far into the animation?? So I am guess there will definitly be second or third season ... not bad as this seems like hit so far...hopefully they keep it going...

I can't win this one
So im considering watching this....but what exactly "type" of show is it? harem...comedy? romantic comedy?
also Fan-service? how much is there? Im not a big fan of TONS of fanservice, but if it's tastefully done (and funny) then i dont mind. but ya know......all the boob gags and stuff do get old if it's thrown in there (aka like code geass threw in random crotch shots lulz)
But ya? so....worth watching tho? ^^ assuming theirs not TON of fan-service

It's a romantic comedy. While there is some sexually based humor, there's no blatant fan service at all. It's hard to say at this point where the romantic side of things is going. But it is funny, and very well produced. Definitely worth giving it a try.

Seriously, i would love this series to go into more light-hearted, slice of life direction, but after seeing some "serious" stuff happen in the manga, i'm a little disappointed. This is one of the rare time i want the anime to part the direction with original manga, which may open up chance for more seasons.

I was just thinking, I have been watching Ayako's subs so far because they come out long before all the others and I've not had any particular issues with them, but I wondered if I'm missing anything - is it worth getting hold of any other versions to rewatch any episodes? I like the fact Ayako are doing AVIs too, since unlike h264/mkv I can watch them on any computer including my pocket player.

Saw ep 13 just now. It's going to be a hard wait for the second season, I think, I'm missing it already. This has been a marvelous show and it hits me in a spot most anime doesn't touch, it's like Anime Comfort Food - sit back, watch, and smile.

RC Ramp down plan: after RC0 is released, builds will be produced weekly until the 3.0 release. In the RC phase only bugs marked P2 or higher or severity major or higher will be fixed. APIs will not change except to address critical fixes, until RC3, at which point APIs will be frozen. Any API changes or other changes affecting integrators will be posted on will be posted on bug 227660.
The first goal of Mylyn is to make task and context management seamlessly integrated with the Eclipse Platform by providing rich and extensible frameworks for task repository connectors, structure bridges and team support. The second goal is to provide a reference implementation of the Task-Focused UI for the Eclipse SDK. This includes structure bridges for the artifacts supported by the SDK which include Java, PDE, Ant and generic files. It also includes the Bugzilla Connector as the reference task repository implementation, and CVS integration as the reference team support. Additional features can be considered based on the availability community contributions and resources.
In addition to using the planned themes listed below, we need to continue prioritizing the ongoing input of our growing user community. Committers should prioritize bugs in the following order. This order need not be used if a bug contains a community contribution of a patch, in which case the quality of the patch determines the priority.
- Frameworks & APIs: Tasks, Context, Team, Monitor, headless use
- UI: Tasks List, Task Editor, Task-focused UI
- Connectors: Bugzilla (reference implementation), Trac (committer supported), JIRA (community supported)
- Eclipse: 3.3 and 3.4 Milestones (only latest milestone supported at time of release)
- Java: JRE 5.0 or later required
- Operating Systems: all supported by Eclipse
Legend: in progress, completed, optional
API Themes
Context API
- Remove need for use of internals: make it possible to create bridges without relying on Context Core and UI internals bug 204495
- Context framework: support extensions to other languages, e.g. JEE, AspectJ, DLTK
Tasks API
- Synchronization Jobs: support cancellation, provide factories for creating Job objects
- Task List Data Model: make data model thread-safe, specify data structure (e.g. no cycles), review type hierarchy
- Task Schema: remove need to extend AbstractTask, change query interface to require Task Data, provide extended task schema with a default attribute mapping
- Task Editor: decompose AbstractTaskEditor and make extensibility explicit
- Attachments: integrate attachments as stream-based resources
- Authentication: support additional authentication types, e.g. SSL-certificates bug 208935
- Task List Import/Export: provide a generic import/export API
Team API
- 'Distribution: making reuse of framework more generic, supporting distribution without requiring the Eclipse SDK Template:Bug:191793
UI Themes
Context UI
- Improve feedback and usability of Alt+click navigation: make this feature more discoverable and easier to use. bug 175655
- Improve fidelity of DOI model: the model implementation or tuning has not changed since the 0.3 release, and we need to iterate on the propagation mechanism and scaling factors in order to increase the information density of focused views. bug 118542, bug 150331, bug 175879
- Improve UI for interest manipulation: performance and discoverability need improving, action should be hidden when no task context is active. bug 196120
- Improve resource change listening: opening projects currently causes them to become interesting, as does checking out of CVS bug 120499, bug 197942, bug 202817
- Improve DOI model refactoring support: some refactorings cause the model to lose elements bug 119307, bug 171254, bug 164058
- Improved editor management policy: bug 197338
- Improve context preview facility: performance need improvement, activation should not be required, can provide compare facilitiesbug 174658, bug 138544
Tasks UI
- Improve bug reporting feedback loop. When an error happens we should make it easier for to report a bug to the relevant task repository. Ensure that bundlings can provide additional handling to retain the producer/consumer separation. bug 150278, bug 182776, Platform: bug 124964
- Streamline task creation. Make it easier to create tasks, fork them, or promote local tasks to repository tasks. bug 154896, bug 152211, bug 203471
Task Editor
- Improve information density on initial open. For common cases the editor should not need to be scrolled after being opened. bug 195656
- Improve flexibility of scheduling and planning. bug comment 158461, bug 173089, bug 150106, bug 158461
- Improve display and navigation of attributes and related tasks and artifacts. Associated tasks, such as dependencies, subtasks, and duplicates. Attachment display also needs to be improved. bug 203661, bug 199675
- Ease Editing. Improve interaction with the editor area and support rich/html/wiki editing where appropriate (e.g. repositories that use markup in comments). bug 203670
- Improve representation of people. People are currently treated as email addresses. They should instead be an object that supports flexible display and operations such as content assist and additional actions. bug 204068
- Improve performance of opening. Tasks with very long comments or a large number of comments can be slow to open due to our use of multiple source viewers, and to to the wrapping computation of source viewers. bug 204054
- Make the save lifecycle more flexible. Improve support of direct manipulation in a view (e.g. marking Complete via the Task List) and better handling or edits with additional workflow (e.g. attachments).
- Support saving unsubmitted tasks.
- Synchronize time with repository: bug 212108
Task List Management
- bug 211011 improve Task List rendering
- Restore, bug 206734
- Design better interaction for Archive and Uncategorized categories
- Improve desktop notification mechanism
- Search of local tasks bug 205627
- Improve presentation of incoming changes (bug 177208)
- Customization/flexibility of attributes displayed, e.g. bug 199345
- Support lightweight workflow in task editor
- Streamline task creation (e.g. from existing artifact like a JUnit trace (bug 152869)), cloning tasks (bug 161646))
- Improve experience working with a minimized Task List (e.g. show active task and working set somewhere on trim when minimized, ensure no visual redundancy when Task List visible).
- Improve perspectives and switching (e.g. settle on 3 frequently used ones, use a radio button toolbar group for single-click toggle, consider extracting groupings as another view option)
Task Planning
- Synching with connector timings bug 181911
- Improve scheduling and due date presentation (reduce amount of red visible in a typical Task List)
- Improve task activity collection, manipulation and display
- Improve overlap with connectors' planning facilities
Task List Models
- Content providers vs. filters and groupings (e.g. subtasks) bug 199818
- Better support for presentations
- Generic schema vs. connector-specific schema
- Improve modularity of content providers / filters / interest / presentations
- Common task schema
- generic XML format for repository task data and repo configuration
- EK: the above is either the same or need to be clarified. Is these formats intended for import/export or for working with 3rd party repositories. The former probably better to address with public API instead of relying on the schema.
- Synchronization priority
- Network I/O responsiveness, cancellability
- Incremental synch architecture
- Network settings and full set of proxy configuration options
