AA reserves the right to request documented proof of age for children traveling
alone. Please be prepared to provide documentation (birth certificate, driver's
license, passport, etc.) upon request.
Children who will be traveling alone will be required to use the Unaccompanied Minor service subject to the following charges:
Please also note the following:
Return to Top
Children traveling as Unaccompanied Minors must be booked through our Reservations
representatives. Children traveling under the Unaccompanied Minor program may
use electronic ticketing.
Please note that no reservation will be accepted for an unaccompanied minor traveling
on an itinerary that includes the last on-line connection to any American Airlines or
American Eagle destination.
American Airlines and American Eagle do not accept unaccompanied children when their itinerary includes a connection to/from another airline, including codeshare and oneworld partners.
For domestic flights, please arrive at the airport two hours before departure
in order to complete all necessary forms and check-in procedures. Please review the sample form to make sure that you have all the needed information. (Due to numerous signatures required, the actual form can only be completed in person at the airport).
Please see additional information below.
A parent or responsible adult must do the following when a child who will be traveling
as an Unaccompanied Minor is brought to the airport:
An agent will ensure that the flight on which your child is confirmed is operating
as scheduled. If the flight is delayed and expected to misconnect or divert to
another airport, please make alternate arrangements for your child's travel.
Upon completion of check-in, your child and the parent or responsible adult delivering
your child to the airport should be at the gate 30 minutes prior to departure
for pre-boarding.
Please Note:
Requests for someone other than American Airlines to escort your child at the
connection city will not be honored. American Airlines remains responsible for
the unaccompanied minor from the origin city to the final destination.
At airports outside the United States, you may be required to release your child upon
check in at the ticket counter. In these instances, an American Airlines representative
will escort your child to the departure gate and your child will remain under the supervision
of an American Airlines representative until the flight departs.
American Airlines has implemented cashless cabins onboard
flights within the U.S. and between the U.S. and Canada. However, international flights still accept cash as a possible form of payment. American
Eagle is not accepting credit cards for onboard purchases at this time.
If your child plans to purchase a snack during a cashless flight, we accept American Express® cards and other major credit or debit cards. Our
flight attendants use wireless handheld devices to quickly swipe the card and provide receipts upon request.
In addition to the information listed above, the following will help you know
what to expect if your child is traveling across country borders.
Please plan to arrive three hours before departure. A check-in agent will ensure
all documents are in order and assist in completing all forms prior to boarding.
The agent will ensure that the parent or responsible adult delivering your child
to the airport completes all necessary Customs and Immigration forms before American
Airlines or American Eagle takes custody of your child.
At the airport you may be required to release your child upon check in at the ticket counter. In these instances, an American Airlines representative will escort your child to the departure gate and your child will remain under the supervision of an American Airlines representative until the flight departs.
The adult designated to pick up the unaccompanied minor at the destination airport should plan to arrive at the arrival gate 20 minutes before the flight's scheduled arrival time. Because airport concourses are secured to ticketed passengers only, the designated person should allow additional time to obtain the required boarding pass from the airport ticket counter to clear and proceed through the security checkpoint. After verifying identification and forms at the gate, the American Airlines employee will release your child to the designated individual.
If schedule irregularities occur at any city, American may refuse to provide air
transportation services at any originating city to an Unaccompanied Minor holding
reservations if there is a reasonable likelihood that the child will not make
a flight connection.
Passengers 18 years of age or older are required to have government-issued photo
identification for travel within the United States. However, you may be required
to present proof of age (such as a birth certificate) at the airport for any children
under the age of 18 who are traveling with you.
Passengers under the age of 18 who are traveling
outside the United States are subject to
the same travel document requirements as
adults. Visit the U.S. State Department's
Web site for information on passports
as well as visa
and immunization requirements for
international travel.
Note: Please contact the nearest Consulate for the
latest updates.
Minors under the age of 18 who are traveling with only one parent may be required
to have additional documentation if leaving their country of residence. Please
contact the nearest Consulate of the country to which you are traveling for additional
Infants under 2 years of age may be held in an adult's lap, however, taxes, fees or fares may apply. Please contact Reservations for further information.
When one adult travels with two infants, the adult passenger may only hold one
infant. An additional seat must be purchased for the 2nd infant. Seats may also
be purchased for both infants (see Fares above). The maximum
number of infants per adult passenger is two.
If your infant will travel in his or her own seat, you will need to buy a ticket and bring a safety seat approved by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
Additionally, aa.com is currently unable to book a reservation for an infant traveling as a lap child. Please contact Reservations for further information and assistance.
Children (or adults with children) under the age of 15 may not be seated in an
exit seat.
The FAA-approved Aviation Child Safety Device
(ACSD) provides all the protection of a traditional
child safety seat by combining the use of
the aircraft's lap belt and a four-point
shoulder harness. Unlike typical child safety
seats, the ACSD weighs less than 1 pound
and fits into a 6" carrying case, making
it much lighter and easier to transport.
The ACSD is approved for aircraft use only and should not be confused with other non-approved vest/harness-type devices.
For more information or to purchase the ACSD, please visit the AmericanAirlines C.R. Smith Museum® Gift Shop. You may also email email@example.com for information.
Most restraints that are used in automobiles are acceptable for use in aircraft
by an infant or small child. Acceptable restraints manufactured in the United
States will bear one or both of the following labels:
Additionally, the restraint may carry a second label with red lettering which
states the following:
Restraints manufactured outside the United States may be accepted provided that
they bear either a label showing approval of a non-U.S. government OR a label
showing that the seat was manufactured under the standards of the United Nations
U.N. approval is designated by a label with a circle surrounding the letter "E"
followed by the distinguishing number of the country which has granted approval,
plus an indication of the category and mass group of the child restraint which
will be affixed.
If you are using an approved infant seat or child restraint device, please note
that it...

You may want to consider checking the infant/car seat or
child restraint device at the ticket counter. However, American is not responsible
for damage to infant/child restraint devices and loss/damage of any items attached
to the device, whether these items are checked at the ticket counter or the gate.
Infant/child restraint devices include, but are not limited to, strollers and
car seats.
For taxi, takeoff, landing, during turbulence, or when the Fasten Seatbelt sign
is on, American accepts only FAA
approved infant seats/child restraint devices that are certified for use in

with you. American does not provide baby food, bottles and other related items.
However, baby bottles can be heated on all flights operated by American Airlines.

Distributed generation is the connection of small power generation equipment to the utility distribution system. Typically this is in the form of renewable energy (such as wind turbines and photovoltaic panels) and other fueled turbines and rotating generators. Residential systems are typically less than 50 kW (kilowatts) and are used to offset normal usage.
If you are interested in connecting a distributed generation source to your residence, follow the required steps link at the left.
If you just want information on the requirements for connecting to the CenterPoint Energy system, then look through the links at the left and at the PUCT Substantive Rules link at the right.

Can You Use @transition To Modify The Appearance Of The Modal Pop Up
Posted 21 November 2012 - 10:12 PM
Posted 21 November 2012 - 11:36 PM
You can find out more on transitions here
Posted 22 November 2012 - 09:17 AM
but all useful info.
Back to the question - I was just looking through the Demo Cheat Sheet and couldn't figure how to use ' @transition' or find an example of complete syntax or context. I thought mentioning it with something that was animated, like the modal pop up would be a good starting point. I don't have any problem with transitions using javascript alone - but can't see how to tie them in with @transition Mixins LESS BootStrap etc (this is all new to me but its starting to make sense)
btw - this is the first week I've really used these forums and have to say I'm impressed with the level support.

James answered the question of transition by providing a CSS solution and a link that explains more about it.
We don't support modifications to Twitter Bootstrap. CSS is the solution for transitions.
Posted 22 November 2012 - 03:00 PM
.alpha {
.transition(.2s ease-in-out);

I'm not sure what you mean by "This must be another user - my test page isn't public?"
James answered the question of transition by providing a CSS solution and a link that explains more about it.
We don't support modifications to Twitter Bootstrap. CSS is the solution for transitions.
James is talking like he's seen the site and code. Which AFAIK isn't possible. No one has access to the site I registered with PL. My test page as its behind a holding front page and the test page is passworded. Hence the confusion.
Appreciate you don't support other products - but this '@transition' variable/example is part of your new product (its in YOUR cheat sheet).
Its not explained or put in context. You and the developers amongst you may know what is does, but there is a paying customer here that doesn't. Hence a reasonable request for more (in context) information.
Sometimes I really wish we could have conversations because this reply from Rob seems is the complete antithesis of everything I've experienced so far and more like * off! we are done!
Posted 22 November 2012 - 07:49 PM
Try this..
.alpha {
.transition(.2s ease-in-out);
Appreciate the feedback and suggestion - ta.
But I'm still stumped by the '@transition' as apposed to '.transition' how is it used (in context with Pagelines)
So - what's above is will apply a transition to any item with the class .alpha when.......
it appears on the page?
is animated?
I get the feeling I just need that little nudge to get over that bump in the learning curve if a few words can get me moving in the right direction - that would be much appreciated . I'll happily stick my head in a manual, when I know what I'm looking for.
Posted 23 November 2012 - 10:35 PM
I'm not sure where you've seen @transition, I can see no reference to it in our core docs (since writing have seen your link to the cheat sheet, i can only see it listed as .transition though)
.transition is a Less mixin and a css instruction. You'd implement it like
Check out this article one of our developers Nick Haskins wrote on the basics of Less, including examples of how to use Less, mixins and variables. This will give you the basis of how a mixin works and how to apply it inside the framework -
Posted 23 November 2012 - 10:59 PM
Our moderator staff uses the link provided in your profile (which only you and we can see) unless another link is provided. We've posted on this forum several guidelines asking our clients to provide a link to the sites they're working on. If a link isn't available, our moderator team quite reasonably assumes that the link in the profile is the one being discussed. Kindly, in future, clarify your posts to ensure that our staff knows what to look for.
Twitter Bootstrap uses both CSS and its own coding. Both @transition and .transition are correct things and should not be confused. To be clear, .transition is a CSS element, while @transition is a bootstrap variable. They are used in different ways.
I'd suggest you try Nick's CSS snippet in Custom Code > CSS Rules or one of the other preferred styling locations.
My reply to you was not rude, however, your answer was incredibly so. Kindly understand we do try to provide premium support to all our clients. And none of us have been rude to you nor have we failed to provide prompt replies. It was quite unfair to impugn the replies we provided. Twitter Bootstrap is so new that we've not become familiarized with it.
Thank you for your understanding.
Posted 24 November 2012 - 02:03 PM
To set the record straight.
Having got an answer out of the blue for a site that has a holding page front end - was odd.
Having been pointed to W3schools rather than explaining something which is now core to PL - was odd, compared to the great support I've experience this week.
Having that reiterated, as a job done, to me appeared rude.
The typed word is often cold and misconstrued - looks like the case here.
The last few days have seen my first proper use of PL and the PL support forums.
...and with this misunderstanding excepted - its all been great.
I now appreciate Bootstrap is new to everyone including support etc
Kindly post more examples of code in context in your online documentation.
Thanks to James for those last links - that's really what I needed.
Please accept my apologies for any offence caused to those involved here, its not in my nature. Just a hard working designer being pushed from all sides. I look forward to continued use of this great product and trust that when we meet again we can all start afresh.
Posted 24 November 2012 - 04:42 PM
-webkit-transition: .2s ease-in-out;
-moz-trasition: .2s ease-in-out;
-o-transition: .2s ease-in-out;
transition: .2s ease-in-out;
Well that's incredibly arduous to be typing out, which is where mixins come into play. So instead of typing all of that junk, we just type
.transition(.2s ease-in-out);
This goes into the compiler, and spits out those 4 lines above automatically. We type LESS, it and processes into CSS.
The cheat sheet has some really basic examples, but others include.
.box-shadow(0 0 1px @black);
.border-radius(5px); or .border-radius(0 0 5px 0);
Multiple shadows
.box-shadow(~"0 0 1px @black, 1px 1px 1px @blue" );
And that's just scraping the surface. Hope this all helps in some way.
Posted 24 November 2012 - 06:42 PM
As of a couple of days ago - totally new to LESS and Bootstrap
I can see it is a complex beast. Will spend some time on the links suggested above by James.
So before I go off and do that
I'm getting basics of the mixin (whole pile of code into one small definition)
the @ operator that indicated the following is a variable
at some point I saw .transition and @transition and that started the whole confused episode off
without expecting support on this....from what I can see
this is defined in LESS in PageLines already
.transition(@transition) {
-webkit-transition: @transition;
-moz-transition: @transition;
-ms-transition: @transition;
-o-transition: @transition;
transition: @transition;
.alpha {
.transition(.2s ease-in-out);
in long hand would be
.alpha {
-webkit-transition: .2s ease-in-out;
-moz-transition: .2s ease-in-out;
-ms-transition: .2s ease-in-out;
-o-transition: .2s ease-in-out;
transition: .2s ease-in-out;
next, would it be more correct to define the property to be transitioned
.alpha {
.transition(all .2s ease-in-out);
.alpha {
.transition(opacity .2s ease-in-out);
thanks beardedavenger.........off to read up some more.

RYAN VREDE watched Morne Steyn score all the Bulls' points in their 18-13 victory over the Sharks in a compelling match at Loftus.
Springbok coach Heyneke Meyer is a firm believer in Steyn's match-winning ability with the boot and tonight he displayed his value in tight contests, his five penalties and a drop-goal starting the Bulls' new era in the best possible manner.
The Bulls started poorly then morphed into their archetypically efficient self, with Steyn's tactical kicking and goal kicking central to their success. The method is well known and predictable, but when it is executed with the efficiency it was in the second half the Bulls are nearly impossible to beat.
The Sharks, starved of possession, grew increasingly desperate, and that desperation manifested in their attacks becoming progressively more cavalier. One such move late in the piece dragged them back into the match, but the Bulls were resolute in defence under enormous pressure. The nature of this victory will be an important part of this young Bulls side's education. For the 40 minutes when it counted they conjured the tactical intelligence and granitic spirit of the championship sides that have preceded them.
There was also an interesting sub-plot to emerge. The performances of youngsters Juandre Kruger, Francois Hougaard, Francois Venter, CJ Stander, JJ Engelbrecht, Pat Lambie, Marcell Coetzee and Anton Bresler suggested that South African rugby has a bright future.
The first half was a forgettable affair. There was always going to be energy, physicality and intensity but neither team managed to channel those things to their advantage on attack. A scoreless first half bore testament to this, with a string of fundamental handling errors (the majority committed by the Bulls) and ill-discipline robbing the contest of any flow.
Both sides struggled to control possession through multiple phases. Certainly some brutal defence contributed to their struggles in this regard, but that alone cannot mitigate this shortcoming given the calibre of players on show. They often went wide without earning the right to do so through purposeful phase play. A measure of pragmatism was lacking, with little appreciation shown for playing in the opposition's territory and backing pressure defence to force errors.
This all changed for the Bulls in the second half and they systematically built a lead after forcing errors from the Sharks in kickable positions. The Sharks will lament three missed penalties, two of which you would have backed Lambie to bank. But overall they were outsmarted by a superior side on the night, with Steyn securing yet another famous Bulls win at Loftus.

Java Developer Kit (JDK)
You will need a JDK 1.4.2+ (J2SE 1.4.2+) or compatible JDK to build Groovy.
Apache Ant
To execute the build process you need to have Apache Ant version
1.7.0 (or newer) installed.
Subversion Client
To fetch the source code for the server, you will need to have a Subversion client version 1.2 (or newer, 1.4 is recommended) installed.
Fetch the Groovy Source Code
From Subversion
There are many different protocols available to access the Groovy source code. For the complete list see the source repository details for the project.
svn co https://svn.codehaus.org/groovy/trunk/groovy/groovy-core
From a Source Archive
Select one of the
*-src.* archives from the distribution site site and unzip it.
For example, to use the source from the Groovy
1.1-beta-2 release:
wget http://dist.groovy.codehaus.org/distributions/groovy-src-1.1-beta-2.zip unzip groovy-src-1.1-beta-2.zip
Preparing to Build for the First Time
If you are behind a proxy firewall, you may need to set up proxy information in a
~/.ant/settings.xml or
~/.m2/settings.xml file:
If you will need to publish artifacts then you will need to have appropriate permissions with codehaus and ensure that you have stored your credentials in a
~/.ant/settings.xml or
~/.m2/settings.xml file of the form:
To build everything, run tests and create a complete installation in
target/install, run:
ant install
After this finished successfully, then you can try out the distribution that was just built. For example to play with
groovysh you can run:
Sometimes its desirable to skip the test execution for faster turn around. To turn off tests set the
skipTests property, as in:
ant install -DskipTests=true
Distribution Archives
To build a Groovy distribution archive:
ant distribution
This will build everything, generate documentation and create distribution archives under
Publishing Artifacts
To publish artifacts to the Maven 2 repository, run:
ant deploy
This will either publish to the release repository or the snapshot repository based on whether the POM version contains
SNAPSHOT or not.
If deploy is failing, then check Installing the UserTrust CA into the Java JDK.

General News
Posted September 27, 2013
|Cindy Driscoll, RN, Named one of Florida's "Great 100" Nurses
Cindy Driscoll, RN, was named one of Florida's "Great 100″ nurses at the Florida Nurses Association's Celebration Awards Gala held in Orlando on September 20. The event honored 100 of Florida's most admired nurses. The award recognizes the contribution of outstanding nurses who live and practice in Florida. Cindy is the Director of the All Children's Hospital Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). She was nominated for being a Role Model-Nurse who demonstrates excellence in the nursing profession.
During her career at All Children's Hospital, Cindy has become a strong role model respected for her inclusive leadership style, her advocacy on behalf of patients, families and staff, and her emphasis on educating and engaging families coping with acute and chronic illness.
At All Children's Hospital, she has been Director of Early Intervention (now Early Steps), Director of the 56-bed Pediatric Medicine Unit (8N&8S) and, since 2011, Director of the NICU. In this role she demonstrates excellence in Administrative Nursing, Education and Advocacy. Leading a staff of nearly 300, Cindy instituted shared governance, priority action plans and participatory leadership within the NICU. The result was significant improvement in nearly every indicator of staff satisfaction ad family satisfaction. She created a Very Low Birthweight Council, Healthy Work Environment Council and Developmental Family-Centered Care Council in addition to the existing councils. Comprised of nurses and other members of the multidisciplinary NICU team, the Councils are key to the success of the shared Governance model she introduced.
"Cindy represents excellence in nursing leadership," said Hella Ewing, ACH Vice President and Chief Nursing Officer. "This recognition is well deserved. Cindy is a fierce advocate for her patients and families. I would say she equally advocates for her staff on all levels. The organization is proud to have her represent All Children's Hospital and join 'The Great 100' class of 2013."
Cindy co-chairs our Family Advisory Council, working with parents and teens to improve the inpatient experience. She piloted daily Family-Centered Rounds on 8N &S and brought them to the NICU (they are now standard house-wide). She introduced a series of daily NICU Parent Education classes to help educate and empower families to be more involved in their infant's care. She developed programs to support our Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome neonates and their parents through education here in the hospital as well as in the community. She also introduced new developmental care programs, including music therapy, for NAS patients. On units 8N&8S she led a team of staff and parents in developing the Sensational Kids program, designed to improve the inpatient experience for patients with sensory processing disorders.
She is an administrative champion of the hospital's new clinical ladder program that rewards excellence and professional development. She is a key member of many quality improvement projects and twice received our annual quality improvement award; first while Director of 8N&8S for her role in a medication reconciliation initiative; and most recently for developing and leading a successful study of MRI without sedation in NICU patients. This practice enhances patient safety and has become a standard of care throughout the hospital for patients younger than two, and she was invited to highlight this work at the Johns Hopkins Medicine fourth Annual Patient Safety Summit. She also advocated for patient safety as the chair of our recent Patient Identification Task Force.
At the state level, Cindy advocated for criteria for acuity standards for NICU patients. At the national level, she serves on a collaborative project on preventing blood stream infections in the NICU. At our hospital, she inspires her staff of 300 and nurses throughout the organization to do the very best for patients and families and to continue their own education, growth and development as outstanding nurses.

Avoid both, imo
Well. I was going to get another backup bottle of Le Male, but my current bottle is pretty much still full and i have a back up waiting, so here goes this:
My friend says if i give him my Acqua Di Gio(which i got for a gift that i barely use becaues i simply reach for Allure Homme Sport and L'eau D'Issey more often), he'll by me 212 Men.
The question is simply. whats better
212 Men or Acqua Di Gio?
Avoid both, imo
Personally, I would take Aqua di Gio, but it sounds like 212 is what you prefer, so go with what you like!
Aqua di Gio is way better then 212 Men if you ask me. The big problem with it is that it is as mainstream as you can get and there are probably millions of people who wear this. 212 is a headache inducing scrubber for me and it smells unpleasantly synthetic.
idk. i do like ADG, but lately ive been noticing a weird nail polish kinda note.
Anyway, I would say that 212 is more unique and actually seems to smell quite nice IMO.
If he's buying you a bottle in trade for your AdG, why is he restricting you to 212? Establish a price range, and pick something for yourself.
They are both equally dreadful.
Please feel free to check out my Swap Thread - Patou pour Homme, L'Instant de Guerlain PH Extreme, Dior Homme Intense, Pure Malt, Pure Coffee and many more! Click Here For My Swap Thread
I'd keep the Adg....but just wondering why you were considering buying a second backup of le male? It's not like they are discontinuing it or are they?
damn. 212 an ADG really arent as liked as they once were
at the moment, the thing i would want if i was swapping ADG would be 212 Men. im just trying to make the choice of whether i really like 212 better then ADG
But I doesn't make sense to check the opinions of others for that. I know it's an overused phrase but nontheless it's true: go with your own nose! Now you've heared all kinds of opinions and still don't know wether you'll be happy with your choice in the long run. In case you are not, just sell or swap it again...
Both is boring as h*ll
212 for sure. AdG is too played out.
ADG is the better of the two, IMHO.
Last edited by JON RODGERS; 28th September 2014 at 07:31 AM.
Why don't you go to the store and spray some 212 men on your arm and let it be there for a day? In that way you can decide which you like best since you own AdG and have already worn it.
Acqua di Giò is my guilty pleasure. What's yours?
I'll echo the above sentiments:
avoid them both lest you smell like every other 20 year old kid on campus
Cool Water!
i prefer ADG, for scentimental values as well.
have him buy you 5 bottles of grey flannel instead
Aqua di Gio
212 can, at times, remind me of a chemical toilet on a bus
Sell the AdG and buy something you like. I don't care much for either of the two options.
I'm a colognosaurus. Rawr!
I've never liked ADG much. 212 Men I've always thought a marvellous stand out scent.
can someone elaborate on 212 Men? obviously theres the talk of the cut green grass, but i also see talking about a hint of sweetnes in this fragrance? i see grapefruit in the notes. d&g the one also has grapefruit. i know they arent similar scents, but do they have a similar sweetnes?
Of the two - Acqua Di Gio
There's a whole bunch of youtube reviews of 212, check those out. And like someone said, go to a sephora and get a sample of it and see if you like it.
yeah ive seen all the youtube reviews. just wanna get your guys' opinions too. u seem like an educated bunch haha
Another reason I prefer 212 is that it seems more dynamic. Green/citrus opening, spicy floral heart, and then a very enjoyable woodsy drydown. I love the drydown.
I'm all for getting advice here, but damn....im just trying to make the choice of whether i really like 212 better then ADG
Forget both. Take cash instead and buy some samples. Expand your horizons! I;m glad I did.
John aka Easykiller
the thing is, the deal is going down because he has a sephora gift card..and 212 is one of the things id want that is at sephora since i cant find it at any other places.
I'm totally confused why there is mention le male here in the first place (in two bottles, no less) but that is besides the point.
Also, the nail polish smell is a good indication of fragrance going toxic and you should take a note of that.
All else being equal, I would choose adg of the two.
If you already own Issey Miyake then I think you should try the 212 men.
You guys realize the last post made in this thread up until 30 minutes ago was almost four years ago right?
Well, the O.P. has probably not only decided which to buy but used it up by now
The personal attacking post has been deleted as it's against the rules in case anyone else reads this thread & thinks we're all a bit confused here!

CHARLOTTE – The narrative that's been spun by most regional and national NBA fans is that former Charlotte owner Bob Johnson is to blame for this region's failure to embrace the Bobcats name.
Certainly, Johnson isn't blameless. But someone else allowed the popular "Hornets" name to leave town after the 2001-02 season.
That's probably why outgoing NBA commissioner David Stern seemed so relieved during Thursday's news conference announcing the name would be returning to Charlotte for the 2014-15 season.
It's because Stern was the leader of a league that foolishly allowed a fertile NBA market to be contaminated by former Hornets owners George Shinn and Ray Wooldridge.
Shinn, who sold the Hornets to current owner Tom Benson in the spring of 2012, has since admitted his mistakes and the role he played – or didn't play – in the messy divorce between the region, city and the Hornets that led him to move the team to New Orleans following the 2001-02 season.
Of course, if Stern truly controlled the NBA as many have speculated over the years, he should've found a way to keep Charlotte and Shinn's ownership group happy.
In truth, Stern made matters worse through inactivity and, according to insiders, recommending Wooldridge to Shinn as a financial partner.
Wooldridge is remembered by local fans as the part-owner who never seemed to negotiate in good faith with city officials to the point that many of them felt he simply wanted to move regardless of whatever deal could've or would've been made.
There's no doubt city leaders played a role in the battle lines being drawn. And Shinn inability to take a lead role in the negotiations that broke off but eventually led to the building of the current Time Warner Cable Arena was another factor. (Shinn's very public legal troubles – he was later cleared in a sexual misconduct trial – led to Wooldridge heading up virtually all negotiations with city officials.)
But since Stern knew that Johnson and the Steve Belkin group that included the legendary Larry Bird were eager to buy a NBA team, it's hard to believe Stern couldn't have found a way to keep all sides happy.
You don't have to have a long memory to recall how NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue allowed the Cleveland franchise to move to Baltimore in 1995 but allowed the "Browns" name to stay with that city once it returned via expansion four years later.
Johnson quickly ran into troubles in Charlotte, many of them immediately when he vainly chose "Bobcats" as the nickname for the new Charlotte franchise.
But as badly as Johnson may or may not have run the franchise before selling his majority stake in ownership to Michael Jordan in March 2010, he inherited a poisoned market.
Perhaps Stern knew that was the case.
Of course, if he didn't, he should've known since he surprisingly granted the city an expansion franchise for the 1988-89 season when one national columnist infamously stated the only new franchise Charlotte would get would be a McDonald's.
In any event, few longtime NBA fans will be rooting for the "Hornets" to bring stability back to Charlotte more than Stern – even after he leaves his job as NBA commissioner after 30 seasons next winter.

Marrero, La - Shortly after 11:30 Friday night, Christina Mores, 28, of Marrero, was shot by a JPSO Officer after she struck two officers with her vehicle to avoid being arrested for using narcotics, according to police.
JPSO Officer Christy Clement stopped a vehicle in the 4600 block of the Westbank Expressway in Marrero after she witnessed Mores using narcotics inside of the car shortly after 9 o'clock.
During the traffic stop, Clement reached into the car to arrest Mores, but she knocked the officer to the ground when she opened the car door and began backing up into a parked car nearby.
The officer got up and managed to secure one handcuff on the driver's wrist. Mores resisted arrest a second time and pulled away striking the officer again with her car.
The suspect fled the scene and after broadcasting the description of the wanted vehicle, JPSO Officer Paul Dupuis stopped Mores at the intersection of Silverlilly Lane and Fourth Street in Marrero.
When the officer started questioning Mores, she drove away striking the officer with her car and knocking him to the ground. Dupuis drew his service weapon and fired two rounds at the suspect, striking her in the arm.
After being shot, Mores drove away. Assisting officers stopped Morse at Fourth Street & Bellina in Marrero. She was placed under arrest and transported to University Hospital for treatment.
Officer Clement was transported to West Jefferson Medical Center where she was treated and released for minor injuries.
Upon her release, Christina Mores will be booked with 2 counts of Attempted Murder of a Police Officer along with multiple traffic offenses. This matter remains under investigation, with the possibility of Mores being charged additionally.
Additional details will be released as they become available.

Car Insurance Rates: Location, Location, Location
I'm planning to move across town. Will that make a difference in what I pay for car insurance?
SEE ALSO: 10 Cheapest 2013 Car Models to Insure
It could. Insurers set car insurance premiums by determining the risk that you will file a claim. You may keep the same car and driving record but pay higher or lower premiums because of your new location. "One of the biggest and most misunderstood factors is location," says Des Toups, managing editor of CarInsurance.com. "The difference by zip code can be hundreds of dollars."
For example, your rates could rise if your insurer has had to pay more theft claims in your new zip code or if more people tend to have accidents in your area. Other factors can make a difference, too -- for example, the risk rises if you move from a house with a garage to one with street parking only, and you could lose a low-mileage discount if you have a longer daily commute from your new home.
CarInsurance.com studied prices by location and discovered a big range by zip code for the same person and car, based on average prices from six large insurers. For example, a 40-year-old man with a clean driving record who owns a 2012 Honda Accord would pay an average of $2,032 per year if he lived in Baltimore's Fells Point neighborhood. But if he moved just north of the city, to suburban Towson, his average rate would drop to $1,461, even if he kept the same level of coverage.
Moving across a state border can make a big difference, too – even if you don't move very far – because your new state might have laws that affect coverage and competition. That 40-year-old man would pay an average of $730 per year if he moved to Bullhead City, Ariz. (the least-expensive town in the study). But he'd pay an average of $1,280 if he moved just a few miles across the Colorado River, to Laughlin, Nev. You can compare average rates by zip code at CarInsurance.com.

The hatching and pen really stand out here. Perhaps try to put that style into the digital aspects. Colouring under the lineart and such

December 17th, 2012 #24
Thanks, Xamllew! I've seen your "neck of the woods", and i was impressed. My profession isn't related to art, and i've been sketching on and off for many years, which shows in some of my poor studies. I have some major catch up to do! I'm almost 34 yrs now
Thanks for commenting, and all the best to you.
December 17th, 2012 #25
Hey dude, cool pen studies, I also like that oil pastel drawing, do more of those. As far as your figures and tree studies go, I would suggest 'loosening up' a little...dont be afraid to draw through. They come off as being stiff because it seems like you're trying to make it perfect on the first stroke. Now theres something to be said about strong line economy but in my opinion if it comes at the loss of life (gesture) and structure in the drawing then its not worth it. Try giving the trees a personality based on the kind of mood or energy they are giving off, or how they make you feel. Take a look at sketches by Luc Desmarchelier for examples. Anyway I hope that makes sense. Keep at it and good luck.
December 18th, 2012 #26
Thanks for the advice, sprogis7, much appreciated. I'll try to let loose my pen while sketching, and be bolder with lines.
You have such a beautiful sketchbook btw!
