When we hold back feelings, or when we are excessively competitive in everything we do, always in a hurry to get the work done, not satisfied with work or life, impatient or often carry office work home, then it's time to take a deep breath and blow off steam; in a positive manner. If you're stressed out, it will show, especially if you are a Type A Personality. Our body is like a radar for stress; if you're losing it, you're losing your body. Today we walk you through the telltale signs of how stress affects your body. And it begins with your crowning glory - your hair. *Images courtesy: © Thinkstock photos/ Getty Images Hair - You will lose or it will turn grey. Everyone falls victim to hair loss, even great leaders. The irony is that when you see your hair fall or see it turning grey, you stress out even further. So relax, the next person may have it worse than you. Brain – This is when you think of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Stress is a trigger for headaches, insomnia, nightmares, depression, anxiety, mood swing, compulsive behaviour, to name a few. You will also feel light in the head, dizzy, experience difficulty in concentrating as well as have frequent racing or incoherent thoughts. Mouth – Sometimes ulcers may not be linked to what you eat but, instead, be linked to the stress you feel. The other symptoms include jaw clenching, teeth grinding, stammering, dry mouth and problem swallowing. While it's easier said than done, try and be conscious of your mouth's movements when you're thinking hard or involved in a stressful situation. Muscle - Body aches and muscle aches are a common complain, especially among office goers. Spasmodic pains in which your muscles twitch, are extremely debilitating to say the least. Triggered by stress on muscle groups or joints, these aches need rest and nourishment for proper rehabilitation - something that our stressful lives do not allow. Further, a weak muscle or imbalanced muscle group are easy prey for poor posture and stress-related injuries. Maintaining a good exercise routine and complementing it with adequate nourishment is the best way to fight such aches and pains. Heart and Lungs – Stress is linked to cardiovascular diseases and hypertension. Chest pains and palpitations are not just related to cholesterol but also to stress. A heavy heart or an overwhelmed feeling adds more stress to your heart in more ways than one. Asthmatics can associate with this point. Stress makes it difficult to breathe and this results in constant sighing. Practise deep breathing exercises to fight the effects of stress on your heart and lungs. Digestive tract – Your stomach is not a silent observer. Irritable bowls, irritable colon, ulcers - these are all manifestations of and reactions to stress. Certain digestive ill-health concerns like constipation and diarrhea are also fairly common. Reproductive organs – Women are prone to menstrual disorder and recurrent vaginal infection, while impotence and premature ejaculation is a common problem among men. All these issues are stress-related. While problems like PCO and other hormonal imbalance related disorders are just as affected by poor lifestyle choices, sometimes these can also be triggered by poor stress management. In the long run, such issues can impact your chances of conceiving. Skin – This is a lesser known fact, but stress may also result in skin-related ailments like eczema and psoriasis. Besides this, sweating, rash, itchiness and infections are also linked to increased levels of anxiety. The more you share your nervousness and tension with others, the lesser you'll be stressed. Besides all other stress outcomes like poor digestion, weak lungs, hormonal imbalances, etc, will manifest themselves as skin problems as well. For instance, most cases of acne that persist through to adulthood are related to these internal problems. < 1 2 3 4 5 > Follow @indiatimes facebook twitter reddit gplus Comment Here Brain – This is when you think of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

BRIDGEPORT - Animal Control officers in Bridgeport say the city's shelter has an overpopulation of cats.
Facility employees say the shelter can house about 40 cats at one time, but there is currently a lot more than that, including 25 adult cats. Chief Animal Control Officer Gina Gambino says every cat is up for adoption.
"It would be inhumane to house them forever in cages," Gambnio says. "So what we need is good people to come forward that can provide a good home for cats, as well as rescue groups that can come and help us out as well."
Gambino adds that the only way to prevent overpopulation is by encouraging people to spay and neuter their pets.

Most Cited Communist and Post-Communist Studies Articles
The most cited articles published since 2011, extracted from Scopus.
Slovene commercial diplomacy in the Western Balkan countriesBoštjan Udovič
Volume 44, Issue 4, December 2011, Pages 357-368
The aim of the article is to present activities of Slovene commercial diplomacy in the Western Balkan markets. The result of the analysis proves that Slovene commercial diplomacy in the Western Balkan markets followed enterprise preferences. Thus, in the first decade of transition (1991-2000) commercial diplomacy focused only on ex-Yugoslav markets, while non-ex-YU (Western Balkan) markets became interesting only after the year 2000. The article argues that this can be explained by the reactiveness (instead of proactiveness) of Slovene enterprises, which stems from the Slovene national character. © 2011 The Regents of the University of California.
Swords into plowshares: The organizational transformation of rebel groups into political partiesJohn Ishiyama | Anna Batta
Volume 44, Issue 4, December 2011, Pages 369-379
How do the features of a rebel group and the external political environment interact to affect the internal dynamics within a rebel group . after it transforms into a political party? In this paper we combine literature on organizational change in parties in new democracies with the emerging literature on rebel group-to-party transformation, to develop a framework by which to understand these dynamics. Using the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) as a case study, we find that the legacies of the conflict, the organizational legacies of the rebel group, and the post civil war incentives for electoral gain, create political cleavages within parties that generate considerable organizational centripetal pressures, pressures that will need to be accommodated in new party organizational structures. © 2011 The Regents of the University of California.
The paradigm of nationalism in Kyrgyzstan. Evolving narrative, the sovereignty issue, and political agendaMarlène Laruelle
Volume 45, Issues 1-2, March 2012, Pages 39-49
In Kyrgyzstan, nationalism combines a narrative on the titular ethnic group and its relation to a civic, state-based, identity, feelings of imperiled sovereignty, and a rising electorate agenda for political forces. Nationalism has therefore become the engine of an interpretative framework for Kyrgyzstan's failures and enables the society indirectly to formulate its perception of threat, both on the Uzbek and Kyrgyz sides. To this end, this article first analyzes the double identity narrative, civic and ethnic, of Akayev's regime, followed by the transformation toward a more ethno-centered Kyrgyz patriotism under Bakiyev, the growing role of the theme of imperiled sovereignty-which culminated with the events in Osh-and how nationalism is today becoming a key element of the political agenda and the public scene. © 2012 .
Assessing civil society in Putin's Russia: The plight of women's crisis centersJanet Elise Johnson | Aino Saarinen
Volume 44, Issue 1, March 2011, Pages 41-52
The article assesses civil society in Putin's Russia through the lens of the small social movement working against gender violence. Based on questionnaires distributed to movement organizations in 2008-2009, we find significant retrenchment among the NGO segment of the movement, adding evidence to the claim of Russia's turn toward authoritarianism. However, this innovative, midlevel analysis--not the typical society-wide surveys nor the small number participant observation--also shows that the women's crisis center movement has made some in-roads in transforming the state, revealing that some democratic opportunities remain at the local level. © 2011.
Protests and civil society in Russia: The struggle for the Khimki ForestAlfred B. Evans
Volume 45, Issues 3-4, September 2012, Pages 233-242
The main question on which this article focuses is this: What conditions determine whether a group carrying out protests in Russia is more likely to be successful in attracting support by recruiting people to participate in its activities and gaining sympathy from many members of the population? There is strong agreement among experts on Russian society and politics that protests in defense of abstract, general rights do not appeal to most citizens. This article focuses on groups using protest tactics that have been more successful in gaining support, such as the Defenders of the Khimki Forest. The evidence that is presented in this article suggests that Russians are more likely to take part in protests by an organized group if it seeks remedies for concrete problems that directly affect them and their families. The appeal to felt needs that are grounded in everyday experiences also seems to be an important factor that helps a group to evoke a favorable response toward its actions among broad circles of the general public. For those doing scholarly research, to interpret the development of civil society in Russia mainly in terms of the struggles of human rights groups and political opposition movements would lead the researchers to neglect the activities of most social organizations in Russia. © 2012 The Regents of the University of California.
Welfare reforms and socio-economic trends in the 10 new EU member states of Central and Eastern EuropeJolanta Aidukaite
Volume 44, Issue 3, September 2011, Pages 211-219
The paper reviews recent socio-economic changes in the 10 new EU member states of Central and Eastern Europe and the earlier and latest debates on the emergence of the post-communist welfare state regime. It asks two questions: are the new EU member states more similar to each other in their social problems encountered than to the rest of the EU world? Do they exhibit enough common socio-economic and institutional features to group them into the distinct/unified post-communist welfare regime that deviates from any well-known welfare state typology? The findings of this paper indicate that despite some slight variation within, the new EU countries exhibit lower indicators compared to the EU-15 as it comes to the minimum wage and social protection expenditure. The degree of material deprivation and the shadow economy is on average also higher if compared to the EU-15 or the EU-27. However, then it comes to at-risk-of-poverty rate after social transfers or Gini index, some Eastern European outliers especially the Check Republic, but also Slovenia, Slovakia and Hungary perform the same or even better than the old capitalist democracies. Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Romania, Bulgaria, Poland, however, show many similarities in their social indicators and performances and this group of countries never perform better than the EU-15 or the EU-27 averages. Nevertheless, the literature reviews on welfare state development in the CEE region reveal a number of important institutional features in support of identifying the distinct/unified post-communist welfare regime. Most resilient of it are: an insurance-based programs that played a major part in the social protection system; high take-up of social security; relatively low social security benefits; increasing signs of liberalization of social policy; and the experience of the Soviet/Communist type of welfare state, which implies still deeply embedded signs of solidarity and universalism. © 2011.
Hegemonic political parties in post-Soviet Eurasia: Towards party-based authoritarianism?Max Bader
Volume 44, Issue 3, September 2011, Pages 189-197
Hegemonic parties in authoritarian regimes can fulfill important purposes for those regimes and thereby contribute to their survival. Along with the consolidation of authoritarian regimes, hegemonic political parties have emerged in some post-Soviet states, raising questions about the role that these parties play in the survival of the regimes. This article asks which of the purposes that are frequently ascribed to ruling authoritarian parties are fulfilled by United Russia, the Yeni Azerbaijan Party, and Nur Otan of Kazakhstan, the hegemonic parties of the three strongest consolidated authoritarian regimes with a hegemonic party in the former Soviet Union. It is argued that despite the increasing prominence of the hegemonic parties, full-fledged party-based authoritarianism has not yet been established in Russia, Azerbaijan, and Kazakhstan. © 2011.
Energy security and Russia's gas strategy: The symbiotic relationship between the state and firmsMert Bilgin
Volume 44, Issue 2, June 2011, Pages 119-127
The way how Russia ignores the EU's quest for liberalization and sustains a control over markets and supplies is directly related to her use of gas as leverage. Russia's strategy affects many European and non-European countries during all stages: demand, supply and transit. It is not, however, possible to generalize a common statement that the EU's position is based on a policy of market liberalization while Russia pursues an opposing strategy of increased state control. Russian energy strategy leads markets in Europe; sets tone for energy supplies at homeland and abroad, benefiting from a variety of means. This article shows how a symbiotic relationship between the Russian state and Russian energy companies emerge from a structure in which trade, markets and international politics have been embedded within the state interests and firm behavior. It identifies the economic and geopolitical trends with regard to recent developments of Russia's strategy. © 2011.
FDI determinants in an idiosyncratic country. A reappraisal over the Russian regions during transition yearsConcetta Castiglione | Yulia Gorbunova | Davide Infante | Janna Smirnova
Volume 45, Issues 1-2, March 2012, Pages 1-10
We investigate the factors attracting FDI into highly diversified Russian regions during the phase of transition, and verify the impact of transition experience on the current FDI inflow. Using cross-sectional and panel data, we demonstrate that the highly inhomogeneous investment pattern is explained, in addition to classical demand factors, by specific economic and socio-institutional regional characteristics. Russia appears as an idiosyncratic country where foreign investors seek a stable social and institutional context. Using recent FDI data we show that transition experiences influence current FDI inflow, particularly when the strength of the institutional environment and availability of infrastructures are taken into account. © 2012 The Regents of the University of California.
De facto states and democracy: The case of Nagorno-KarabakhPål Kolstø | Helge Blakkisrud
Volume 45, Issues 1-2, March 2012, Pages 141-151
De facto states are often dismissed as 'failing states'. However, in Freedom House rankings of political rights and civil liberties, they sometimes perform better than their parent states - as has been the case with Nagorno-Karabakh. This article examines the development of democracy in Nagorno-Karabakh against a checklist of factors assumed to be relevant: cultural homogeneity, size, existential threats, role of the diaspora, and the consequences of continued non-recognition. Drawing on fieldwork and interviews with central actors, the authors conclude that, contrary to what might be expected, non-recognition has played a main role in the democratization process. © 2012 The Regents of the University of California.
Tax morale, Eastern Europe and European enlargementBenno Torgler
Volume 45, Issues 1-2, March 2012, Pages 11-25
This study tries to remedy the current lack of tax compliance research analyzing tax morale in 10 Eastern European countries that joined the European Union in 2004 or 2007. By exploring tax morale differences between 1999 and 2008 we show that tax morale has decreased in 7 out of 10 Eastern European countries. This lack of sustainability may support the incentive based conditionality hypothesis that European Union has only a limited ability to influence tax morale over time. We observe that events and processes at the country level are crucial to understanding tax morale. Factors such as perceived government quality, trust in the justice system and the government are positively correlated with tax morale in 2008. © 2012 The Regents of the University of California.
The new great game in Central Asia post 2014: The US "New Silk Road" strategy and Sino-Russian rivalryYounkyoo Kim | Fabio Indeo
Volume 46, Issue 2, June 2013, Pages 275-286
With the planned US and NATO withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2014 looming ever closer, and Central Asia's own future increasingly in doubt, major powers are all competing to enhance their influence in Central Asia. 2014 may mark a regional tipping point, but none can accurately predict how the regional balance might shift after the NATO withdrawal from Afghanistan. During 2009-2010, the signs of growing Russian dependence on China in terms of economy and energy were palpable, as were the signs of China successfully subordinating Russia to its Central Asian economic agenda. In 2011-2012, it was difficult to see Russia simply acquiescing in its subordination to China without reacting to that situation negatively. Since 2011, to avoid this dependence on China, Russia has vigorously pushed for its regional integration schemes. 2011 marked the launch of the US "New Silk Road" initiative. Great power regional integration schemes, however, undermine both regional and national development. © 2013 The Regents of the University of California.
Informal payments for health care services - Corruption or gratitude? A study on public attitudes, perceptions and opinions in six Central and Eastern European countriesTetiana Stepurko | Milena Pavlova | Irena Gryga | Wim Groot
Volume 46, Issue 4, December 2013, Pages 419-431
In this study we aim to compare the public perceptions towards informal patient payments in six Central and Eastern European countries (Bulgaria, Hungary, Lithuania, Poland, Romania and Ukraine). Overall, around 35-60% of the general public in each country has ever made informal payments, though informal cash payments are perceived negatively, mostly as corruption. In-kind gifts are often seen as a token of gratitude. However, significant differences among countries are observed. Despite the public support for the eradication of informal payments, there are population groups who favor their existence and this should be taken into account in policy-making. © 2013 The Regents of the University of California.
The dynamics of electoral politics in AbkhaziaDonnacha Ó Beacháin
Volume 45, Issues 1-2, March 2012, Pages 165-174
Presidential and parliamentary elections in Abkhazia are pluralistic and competitive. They have led to the transfer of power from government to opposition forces. This in itself is a remarkable fact in the post-Soviet context, where the outcome of elections very often is determined in advance by the ruling elite. The article explains how and why this form of electoral democracy could occur in Abkhazia, arguably the most ethnically heterogeneous of all post-Soviet de facto states. Drawing on a wide variety of primary sources and data from within Abkhazia, particularly interviews with key players, the author describes the remarkable willingness of the main political actors to compromise and assesses to what extent Abkhazia's democratic credentials are sustainable. . © 2012 The Regents of the University of California.
Subversive institutions, informal governance, and contemporary Russian politicsVladimir Gel'man
Volume 45, Issues 3-4, September 2012, Pages 295-303
The article presents an analysis of " informal institutionalization" in post-Communist Russia in theoretical and comparative perspective. It is devoted to critical analysis of existing explanations of the dominance of subversive institutions - that is, those rules, norms, and practices that at first sight partly resemble institutions of modern democracy, good governance and rule of law, but in fact inhibit them. While " pessimists" focus on cultural and historical embeddedness of subversive institutions in Russia, " optimists" draw their attention to patterns of post-Communist state-building, and " realists" point out the major role of special interests groups in turning growing pains of informal governance in Russia into its chronic deceases. © 2012 The Regents of the University of California.
Fighting corruption in public procurement in post-communist states: Obstacles and solutionsÅse Berit Grødeland | Aadne Aasland
Volume 44, Issue 1, March 2011, Pages 17-32
Anti-corruption efforts in Europe's post-communist states have been less successful than anticipated. Criticism has been raised against the role of the international community in promoting anti-corruption programmes. Besides, such programmes have been deemed vague and " all-inclusive" They have largely failed to address local factors " informing" corrupt behaviour in post-communist states, such as (a) negative perceptions of law, and (b) informal practice.' I'd be grateful if you could retain the original sentence as it is more precise. © 2011.
The Russia-NATO mistrust: Ethnophobia and the double expansion to contain " the Russian Bear"Andrei P. Tsygankov
Volume 46, Issue 1, March 2013, Pages 179-188
This paper argues that Russian-Western mistrust persists due to historical and cultural developments with roots in the Cold War. The post-Cold War imbalance of power served to exacerbate the problem. The United States emerged as the world's superpower acting on perceived fears of Russia, whereas Russia's undermined capabilities dictated a defensive, rather than a hegemonic response. The paper analyzes the decision to expand NATO by excluding Russia from the process. It also asks why the process suddenly stopped in 2008. What changed the West's mind about the expansion was not a revised perception of Russia, but rather concern with its growing power and assertiveness as revealed by the Kremlin's use of force during the Caucasus' war. © 2013.
Czech extreme right parties an unsuccessful storyMiroslav Mareš
Volume 44, Issue 4, December 2011, Pages 283-298
This article describes the extreme right in the Czech Republic, where, in contrast to several other countries of Central and Eastern Europe, this part of the political spectrum has been unsuccessful for the past ten years. The aim of this article is to analyse the position of the extreme right in the Czech party system and the internal ideological and strategic cleavages within the extreme right. The conclusion of this article is that organized party-political extremism is after two decades of modern political development only a marginal part of the Czech political spectrum, with many internal problems and without real chances of significant success in the near future. © 2011 The Regents of the University of California.
Kazakhstan: Oil endowment and oil empowermentEnrique Palazuelos | Rafael Fernández
Volume 45, Issues 1-2, March 2012, Pages 27-37
Kazakhstan became a petro-state in the 1990s, after signing important oil production agreements with several transnational companies. In recent years, Kazakhstan's government has imposed the revision of former agreements on these corporations. This article contends that said revision has allowed the national players, government and the state oil company, to extend rent-seeking, but that the changes have not been deep enough to attain national oil empowerment. This means that national players do not control the oil cycle - from upstream to export trade - and are unable to secure continued expansion in the oil sector. Both key issues remain in the hands of the foreign companies, although their prominence has diversified following the entry of large Chinese and Russian companies. © 2012 The Regents of the University of California.
The sources of continuity and change of Ukraine's incomplete stateSerhiy Kudelia
Volume 45, Issues 3-4, September 2012, Pages 417-428
This article examines the evolution of the state in Ukraine from an object of elite predation in early 1990s into a dominant actor in relations with non-state actors under Kuchma, an instrument of elite struggles for power and rents under Yushchenko and a return to a centralized state authority under Yanukovych. Despite its different transformations the state in Ukraine has been continuously characterized by the prevalence of informal levers of power and the absence of strong formal institutional foundations. As a result, after twenty years it still lacks the prerequisites of effective governance in a modern state - an impersonal bureaucracy, rule of law and mechanisms of accountability. This institutional void produces Ukraine's vicious cycling between hybrid types of authoritarianism and democracy leaving the state dysfunctional and incomplete. © 2012 The Regents of the University of California.
Soviet conspiracy theories and political culture in Ukraine: Understanding Viktor Yanukovych and the Party of RegionsTaras Kuzio
Volume 44, Issue 3, September 2011, Pages 221-232
Conspiracy theories in Ukraine draw on inherited Soviet political culture and political technology imported from Russia where such ideas had gained ascendancy under President Vladimir Putin. Eastern Ukrainian and Russian elites believed that the US was behind the 2000 Serbian Bulldozer, 2003 Georgian Rose and 2004 Orange democratic revolutions. The Kuchmagate crisis, impending succession crisis, 2004 presidential elections and Orange Revolution - all of which took up most of Leonid Kuchma's second term in office - were the first significant domestic threats to Ukraine's new, post-communist ruling elites and in response Ukraine's elites revived Soviet style theories of conspiracies and ideological tirades against the US and Ukrainian nationalism. Opposition candidate Viktor Yushchenko became the focal point against which the conspiracies and tirades were launched because his support base lay in 'nationalist' Western Ukraine and he has a Ukrainian-American spouse. The revival of Soviet style conspiracy theories has become important since Viktor Yanukovyc's election as Ukrainian president in 2010 because this political culture permeates his administration, government and Party of Regions determining their worldview and influencing their domestic and foreign policies. © 2011.
Russia says no: Power, status, and emotions in foreign policyDeborah Welch Larson | Alexei Shevchenko
Volume 47, Issues 3-4, January 2014, Pages 269-279
© 2014 The Regents of the University of California.Since 2003, Russian foreign behavior has become much more assertive and volatile toward the West, often rejecting U.S. diplomatic initiatives and overreacting to perceived slights. This essay explains Russia's new assertiveness using social psychological hypotheses on the relationship between power, status, and emotions. Denial of respect to a state is humiliating. When a state loses status, the emotions experienced depend on the perceived cause of this loss. When a state perceives that others are responsible for its loss, it shows anger. The belief that others have unjustly used their power to deny the state its appropriate position arouses vengefulness. If a state believes that its loss of status is due to its own failure to live up to expectations, the elites will express shame. Since the end of the Cold War, Russia has displayed anger at the U.S. unwillingness to grant it the status to which it believes it is entitled, especially during the 2008 Russo-Georgian War, and most recently Russia's takeover of Crimea and the 2014 Ukrainian Crisis. We can also see elements of vengefulness in Russia's reaction to recognition of Kosovo, U.S. missile defense plans, the Magnitsky act, and the Snowden affair.
Vigilante justice in post-communist EuropeLavinia Stan
Volume 44, Issue 4, December 2011, Pages 319-327
Five cases in which the names of former secret informers who supplied information to the communist secret political police were unofficially disclosed are discussed in terms of the motivations of their authors, their timing relative to 1989 and their countries' lustration and file access legislation, and the information they make available to the general public. After contrasting them with civil society efforts to promote transitional justice and unofficial truth projects, it becomes evident that these unofficial disclosures were animated by revenge as much as the quest for unveiling the truth about communist repression. © 2011 The Regents of the University of California.
Populism, nationalism, or national populism? An analysis of Slovak voting behaviour at the 2010 parliamentary electionBen Stanley
Volume 44, Issue 4, December 2011, Pages 257-270
This article explores the impact of populist attitudes on party preferences and voting behaviour at the 2010 Slovak election. Using an original battery of questions on populist attitudes developed by the author and attached to the Comparative Study of Electoral Systems post-election survey, the article addresses hypotheses about the impact of populist attitudes on preferences and choices alongside nationalist and economic attitudes and the socio-demographic 'transition loser/winner' divide. It finds that whilst nationalist and economic attitudes are significant predictors of preferences and choices, populist attitudes are much less influential than anticipated. © 2011 The Regents of the University of California.
Money, organization and the state: The partial cartelization of party politics in SloveniaAlenka Krašovec | Tim Haughton
Volume 44, Issue 3, September 2011, Pages 199-209
A detailed analysis of party organization, party funding and voting behaviour in parliament in Slovenia indicates a partial cartelization of Slovene party politics. In line with the cartel thesis, parties in Slovenia are heavily dependent on the state for their finances and there is evidence that parties have used the resources of the state to limit competition. Nonetheless, there is much less evidence of cartelization in terms of party organization indicating more cartelization in the party system as a whole than within individual parties. © 2011.

"Issues related to disclosure, product development and marketing for retirement products will be areas of focus in the coming year," Schapiro said. She also reiterated her stance that the regulatory regime for investment advisers and broker-dealers should be "harmonized" and a common fiduciary standard should apply.

AUSTIN - When you have the best player on the floor, you might as well give him the ball and see how much damage he can do.
Moulton fed Robert Tovar the ball and the 6-foot-4 forward knocked down his shots as the Bobkatz knocked out Paducah 56-45 in the Class 1A semifinals Thursday at the Frank Erwin Center.
Moulton (34-4) moves into the title game against Brookland (38-0) Saturday. Brookland rolled past Ponder 68-45 in the other semifinal game Thursday.
Paducah ends its season at 28-4.
The Bobkatz are defending state champions and returned all five starters. Paducah was making its first state tournament appearance since 1991.
Tovar, who scored 32 points in the Class 1A championship game as a sophomore last season, tallied 29 in front of 7,708 fans Thursday. He hit 12 of 19 from the field and figured into almost every Moulton possession.
In addition to his 29 points, Tovar also scooped up 11 rebounds, dished out four assists and picked up six steals.
Tovar scored nine of Moulton's 13 first-quarter points as the Bobkatz built a 13-10 lead.
Once the Bobkatz took the lead, Paducah could not rally. Moulton pressed the Dragons full court and took Paducah out of its offensive flow. The Dragons tried to force the ball to Brad Flemons in the low post, but Moulton collapsed around him in the halfcourt set.
When Paducah got opportunities, the shots generally rolled off the rim, including several point-blank layup attempts.
"I think we played a little tight. The kids might not admit it, but I think everything bothered them," Paducah coach Randle Morrison said. "It's hard to come back against them and they didn't make any mistakes."
Paducah led 4-0 early, but Moulton reeled off nine straight points, including seven by Tovar. Paducah was able to cut into the lead at times, but could never get over the top.s
"It was hard to do anything against their press. We couldn't see over the top of it," Paducah guard Eric Rekieta said. "It kind of knocked us out of our rhythm and then we panicked a little bit. We played really tight, our shots were off and we missed some layups. They made very few mistakes."
Paducah cut the deficit to 25-23 late in the first half. But Moulton's Scott Chaloupka and Tovar each hit quick layups to pus the Bobkatz halftime advantage to 29-23. Tovar's bucket came just as the buzzer sounded.
In the second half, Paducah could only make sporadic runs and Moulton held the Dragons at arm's-length.
Because of Moulton's pressure and its sagging zone, the Dragons never found the range consistently.
"Paducah is big and strong and we knew we were going to have to work really hard to get a rebound," Moulton coach Sammie J. Koudelka said.
The Dragons drew to within 33-26 early in the third after Flemons hit a free throw. But Moulton guard Bradley Darilek responded with a three-pointer. The Dragons and the Bobkatz traded baskets briefly before Moulton closed out the quarter with two straight buckets.
Chaloupka converted a layup just before the buzzer. Then Tovar stole an inbounds pass and hit a short jumper to push Moulton's advantage to 43-31 going into the fourth period.
Paducah shaved the deficit to 48-40 midway through the fourth after Rekieta sank a jumper at the foul line after Bud Morgan made a steal. But Tovar scored four straight points to push the lead back into double figures.
Late in the game, the Dragons forced some turnovers with their halfcourt trap, but not enough to turn the tide.
Tovar finished the game with a reverse dunk off the Moulton press-breaker offense.
The Dragons committed 11 turnovers in the first half and 18 for the game. Paducah also made 17 of 42 field goals, including a nine of 22 showing in the first half.
Paducah's best offensive option of the morning was Rekieta. He hit seven of 13 field goals and scored a team-high 16 points. Rekieta also dished out four assists and grabbed five rebounds.
Flemons snagged 13 rebounds and scored six points. Senior forward Derek Dowty also scored eight points.
In addition to Tovar, Scott Chaloupka scored 14 points for the Bobkatz.

My slides from the MIT Virtually There Conference
Video from the conference: my talk is at 6:40
The video stream of our panel from the Versions conference on VR curated by Kill Screen and New INC at the New Museum in NYC March 2016.
I think there are disappointments ahead in the short term because expectations have been raised too high before genre conventions – -a "language of VR" — has been invented, but I remain optimistic about the long-term power of immersive, navigable, 3D art and entertainment.
This event as a whole offers a snapshot of a particular moment in which a diversely situated community of practice has been called into being while platforms are still in flux. There is excitement from all the commercial interest and the emergence of some early high-production-values examples. But directions are unclear.
Some of my take-aways from this very well curated set of presentations:
Comments Off on Versions: The Creative Landscape of Virtual Reality – YouTube
Posted in Virtual Reality Storytelling, What is a Medium?
Thanks to Andrew Marantz for calling my attention to this December 2015 interview with filmmaker Charlie Kaufman in which he describes a TV pilot he worked on with a plot structure similar to Life After Life, exploring the alternate paths the same person's life might have taken:
It seems that you would be an ideal person for an Amazon or a Netflix to throw a lot of money at and say, "Hey, make us a distinctive, Charlie Kaufman–esque show."
I had a pilot at HBO that Catherine Keener was going to be in. The whole series takes place on one day. The premise of the show is that there are so many different accidents in your life that lead you in different directions, and as you look at someone's life from birth to, let's say, 50, there are so many different versions of that life that could have happened. My idea was that you take this woman, she is this age on this day, that's the only given, and then each episode is based on a different route. Maybe it broke off here and the difference is very small; maybe it broke off when she was a baby, in which case it's a completely different life. In the course of the series, you start to recognize, first of all, there's clues given as to what these things were that happened that changed the course of her life. But there are also similarities in all these different versions of herself — about who she is. What I thought was really cool about the show, in addition to the premise, which I really liked, is that there's no one right version of it. You can watch this in any order, and it's a different show. The example that I like to use is that in one episode, she's married to this man and you see their life together. In the next episode, she's divorced from this man and you see her life having been divorced from this man. In a third episode, she and this man walk by each other on the street, clearly have never met. And depending on which order you watch the series in, there are different a-hamoments.
So what happened with it?
I wrote a first episode, and then they wanted to see a second episode because they weren't sure what it was going to be. So I wrote a second episode. And I decided to make the second episode very, very different, so that they could see how it could be very, very different. The response I got from them was, "Well, I don't see how this could be the second episode. It's so different." And it's like, "Well, no. I'm not saying it's the second episode. I'm saying it's another episode. This isn't like the order that the show has to go in if we want to establish the premise." It may not be the real reason they didn't want to do it, but they could not remove that idea from their head. Ultimately, they didn't go ahead with the series.
This is clearly a genre that will work best on interactive platforms. The significant thing here is that both Charlie Kaufman and Kate Atkinson, Hollywood/experimental filmmaker and mainstream/experimental British novelist are conceiving of extended replay stories of this kind.
New ebook-only edition revised for 2016 with over 10,000 words of new content in the form of chapter-by-chapter commentary, with new examples and useful web links illustrative of the enduring principles of design that have been validated by multiple communities of practice — from game designers to digital journalists to VR developers — since 1997 when it first appeared, and emphasizing productive design strategies for the next phase of creative innovation.
In a previous post I identified some of the unsolved design issues that make VR a less than engaging storytelling platform, and questioned whether the global elite wearing headsets to look at refugees in a UN-sponsored virtual reality documentary, were experiencing an expansion of empathy, as claimed by one of the filmmakers, or simply a sense of excitement at the novelty of a new technological gadget. This interview with Gabo Arora, who c0-produced the project provides some useful context: that the VR experience was positioned as a high profile replacement for a cancelled appearance by Bono. It also offers a key detail about an important design intervention that Arora made in staging one part of the film. The glamour of VR may not last, but the design intervention — creating action that encircles the viewer — is a useful convention that is likely to become a staple of the evolving medium.
It is works better in the refugee camp (see 6:20 in), than in the Disney VR of the intro to the Lion King which disrupts the immersive effect of a meticulously choreographed, costumed, and lighted stage picture by allowing us to move around chaotically, revealing the strained and tawdry artifice behind the illusion. Perhaps this is a new convention in the making as well — unintentional here, but potentially quite powerful: to take a composed image, like the pseudo-African primitivist landscape of a Broadway musical, and expose its constructed and distorting character nature by turning into an explorable 3D space.
Is VR the appropriate way to engage sympathy for child refugees or are child refugees the appropriate content to expand the market for VR?

Chicago Bulls T-Shirts
When it comes to buying Chicago Bulls apparel, most people are looking for the right blend of style, comfort, and utility.

Thankfully, the Chicago Bulls Shop has plenty of t-shirt options available for all fans, including everything from championship gear and vintage designs to mock jersey styles and fashionable women's options that will look great in any setting.

Go Vintage: Chicago Bulls T-Shirts Celebrate the Past
One of the great things about the current lineup of Chicago Bulls t-shirts is that they're available in a large number of vintage styles. That means fans will find it easy to buy a t-shirt with older Bulls logos, prior year championship designs, and a wide range of other styles that haven't been seen for at least the last decade. For true fans that have been with the team for decades, or those who want to remind others of the team's greatest seasons of the past, these t-shirt designs are second to none and sure to be a hit.
Women's Designs take a Fashion-Forward Approach
While many women will find our traditional t-shirts to be appealing all on their own, we've also worked to develop a number of designs specifically for women that blend fashion with team spirit. Perhaps our best selling t-shirts for women are those with a deeper, trendier V-neck cut. These V-necks have a fitted cut throughout the body of the t-shirt, and a variety of accent colors ranging from Chicago Bulls red to trendy pink.
Each shirt uses officially licensed team logos and comes made from the highest-quality cotton and other materials. Designed to stand the test of time and the rigor of regular washes, these shirts make an excellent buy for fans who want to blend their Chicago pride with today's hottest trends.
Jersey Replicas are a Classic Option for Fans
With all of the hype surrounding vintage t-shirts and fashionable women's apparel options, it can be easy to lose sight of the quintessential Bulls t-shirt: The jersey-style shirt with a Bulls logo on the front and a player's name and number on the back. Though basic, these are easily our most popular t-shirts and they're a great way to wear a jersey without actually wearing a jersey. Perfect for casual days at the office or the occasional get-together with friends and family members, these versatile t-shirts will stand the test of time and remain vivid for many seasons to come.
No Shortage of Options for Chicago Bulls Shop Customers
From vintage options to jersey replica t-shirts, there's something for everyone at the Chicago Bulls Shop. Each type of t-shirt comes in scores of different designs, color combinations, sizes, and cuts, making it easy for fans to find the perfect design in their size. Be sure to start shopping right away so that the perfect t-shirt arrives in time for the next big game.

"Who would do that to a priest?" asked Figueroa, who works for a local Realtor.
Father Santiago had just finished celebrating Mass in the small town of Jacona in the state of Michoacan in southern Mexico, got into his car and started to head home to his hometown of Paredones.
"He called one of the nuns that he was going home," said Figueroa. "He never got home."
Disappearances in Mexico are not uncommon. The country has one of the highest rates of kidnappings in the world. Much of it is attributed or related to drug cartel activity. But innocents frequently fall prey.
Many kidnappings in Mexico go unreported, because people simply do not trust the authorities to investigate.
So far, there has been no contact with the family of the disappeared priest - no calls demanding ransom. Mexico's Federal Judicial Police is investigating and has retraced the route along the highway that would have been driven by Santiago.
"We have discarded any possibility that he was involved in an accident," said Jesus Reyes Garcia, spokesman for the governor's office of Michoacan.
The area is known for bloody conflicts between rival drug cartels.
Ironically, the disappearance of Santiago happened exactly one year after he was ordained into the priesthood.
In Bakersfield, the Figueroa family is still holding out hope that Father Santiago is safe and alive.
"All we can do is just pray, because what can we do from here?" said
Mayra Figueroa.

A Director's Service Agreement is an employment contract or service agreement suitable for a director of a company. A director has certain rights and obligations as an employee and additional rights or obligations that arise as a director of the company.
A Director's Service Agreement lays out key information about the director's work, including important areas such as remuneration, benefits, hours, holiday, sickness, termination, and confidentiality. It gives the company and the director contractual responsibilities and allows either side to take legal action if the other side breaches the agreement.
The appointment of a director is of critical importance to any business. It is vital to have a comprehensive service agreement in place that sets out the conditions of the director's employment and that can protect both parties by providing a reference document if there are any disputes.
When drafting a Director's Service Agreement, it is important to focus on a number of key clauses, in particular:

Wilkes University student serves as e-mentor for 1st-year students
WILKES-BARRE – Wilkes University student Alexander Makos, of Mansfield, is an E-Mentor for the 2013-14 academic year. Makos is a senior majoring in business administration. The mentors provide guidance to all first year students by assisting in the transition from high school to college both socially and academically. E-Mentors work with first-year students at orientation and during welcome weekend and serve as mentors throughout the first year at Wilkes. E-Mentors are assigned to first-year students based on the students' majors and help freshmen at Wilkes adapt to life at the university. E-Mentors not only guide first-year students through the adjustment to collegiate life but become the students' friends, often meeting face-to-face for lunch or at campus events. Each E-Mentor receives between 10 to 15 first-year student mentees.
Earlier this year, Wilkes University's E-Mentoring program received a 2013 Excellence Award from Student Affairs Administrators in Higher Education (NASPA). The program was one of only three from institutions across the country to receive this recognition within the category of "Enrollment Management, Financial Aid, Orientation, Parents, First-year, Other-year and related." NASPA is the leading association for the advancement, health and sustainability of the student affairs profession. It serves a full range of professionals who provide programs, experiences and services that cultivate student learning and success in concert with the mission of its colleges and universities.

More importantly, the Harman sounds good too. The performance is consistently engaging and believable and the performance with film and TV material is something that is both easy to live with day-to-day and capable of some real excitement when you turn the wick up. If you have been looking at 2.1 and soundbar options, the Harman is a viable and interesting alternative and something worth auditioning.– HK3770-avforum-award

Electronic Arts is investing in two independent developers starting today: Klei Entertainment and Hothead Games.
EA will be publishing the former's 2D comic-style action game Shank on Xbox LIVE Arcade (XBLA), PlayStation Network (PSN) and PC this summer, and the latter's parodic action RPG Deathspank on XBLA and PSN sometime this year. EA's Jeff Green says, "If you're freaking out about no [Deathspank] PC version announce yet, stop freaking out. EA wants as many people as possible to play it..."
"Our mission at EA Partners is to work with the best talent across the game industry, and we are thrilled to extend our expertise to the leading creative developers in downloadable indie games," said Jamil Moledina, Outreach Director, Business Development at EA Partners.
The company certainly knows good work when they see it, as both games look like solid and interesting spins on somewhat tired genres. Shank seems to have a big Comix Zone influence, while Deathspank -- led by The Secret of Monkey Island creator Ron Gilbert -- is said on the official website to be "better than Lord of the Rings," according to Ron's mom.
"As an independent development studio, we always focus on creating great, authentic experiences for players. Working with EA Partners expands our distribution and allows us to bring Shank to a much wider audience," said Jamie Cheng, CEO of Klei Entertainment. "They have been a fantastic partner and their understanding of the space is incredibly exciting."
"We are proud of our independence, but are very excited to be working with EA Partners on a title as big as DeathSpank," says Ian Wilkinson, CEO of Hothead Games. "With EA Partners handling distribution and marketing, Hothead can continue to focus on what we do best, making great games."

Elvis returns, this time he is slightly weathered, quite a bit more lethargic, and desperate to escape his captors. But, his captors are not the oil paint smeared Arabs, nor the fairly innocuous women that surround him. His captors are much bigger than one motion picture could possibly describe. They are the entire industry he has found himself immersed in. They are the money-hungry culture vultures that readily devour a popular figure like him until he is but a bloated pasty corpse. This film shows them as they are through their sinister machinations. They can be seen with invisible marionette string as they force Elvis to march around in costume, as they prod him with sharp knives into doing little lackluster dances that turn into morose forced marches across the barren tundra of his once mighty career. This is not the Elvis of folklore, nor is it the Elvis that will return one day and save us from mediocrity. This is the dry Elvis, milked fully, udders raw, yet ever sedated. The Elvis that might have died on the screen in front of your eyes and you might have not even noticed it. Don't let the bright lights and forced smile fool you. It is your duty to lament this vision before you, because it is an ugly one.
Widely considered to be Elvis' dumbest movie ever and the source of many prime gags in Top Secret, Harum Scarum is worth watching only for those Elvis fans interested in answering the question of what went wrong with his movie career. The answer was quite simply that, to Colonel Parker, Elvis was a carnival concession. He was getting million dollar offers to keep at the same old formula junk and since Parker had no idea how good movies were made he kept agreeing to the deals while the money was there. Harum Scarum shows the formula at its most derivative. Elvis himself looked bored and distracted at times on screen and even messed up some of his lip synching! The bulk of the songs are strictly for the Pat Boone set and badly out of date before the movie even came out. At a time of rapid change and great excitement in the music world (the Beatles made HELP around the same time) the music in Elvis' movies did not evolve or change, it just got recycled. The sets are also retreads, studio back lot leftovers from earlier better movies which look about as authentically middle eastern as a Moroccan restaurant in Brentwood. The costumes are a bad joke, and look like I Dream of Jeannie cast-offs. Elvis himself spends most of the movie looking foolish (and a bit like a Popsicle) in lime green pants. Add in a ridiculously predictable hand-me-down story about intrigue in the palace of the sultan and a few unfunny minor characters, and there is not much to like here, even for die hard Elvis fans. Even Elvis haters looking for a cheap laugh will find themselves bored by this exercise.
It's very easy to dismiss an Elvis flick with a goofy title like HARUM
SCARUM just by hearing it. But I was actually rather surprised by this
colorful and unconventional Presley romp. It turned out pretty good for
a Presley knock-off, despite the hokum.
Taking Elvis into the odd world of the Middle East is in itself a fresh change of space considering the formulaic nature of his films. It's not high art by any stretch of the imagination, but it's fun. And leading ladies Mary Ann Mobley and Fran Jeffries are gorgeous to behold.
None of the songs are very strong, but there are plenty of them to go around this time.
Colonel Tom Parker who usually took great care in the movie properties
acquired for Elvis Presley must have cringed with the lemon he got
Elvis stuck in here. IMDb says that Colonel Tom thought that Harum
Scarum might have needed a talking camel so that there would be no
question this was a comedy. Obviously the Colonel had the Road to
Morocco in mind. But I'll go one better. Elvis the singer may have
needed a comedian along with him, like Bob Hope.
Back when the Road to Morocco was made it was satirizing those sword and sandal desert epics that were popular back in the day. Usually those were about some mythical kingdom. We don't have mythical kingdoms any more, they're not in vogue in Hollywood. Poor Elvis was stuck in genre that was way out of date.
Also I don't think anyone had any doubt that when they went to see the Road to Morocco they were seeing a comedy. The gags here just fall flat. Now I doubt Elvis could have gotten Bob Hope, but a comedian of Elvis's generation to co-star might have brought off the comedy, but only might have.
Elvis is in good voice, but none of the songs from here are especially memorable. Certainly not like Jailhouse Rock or Blue Hawaii.
Harum Scarum belongs at the bottom of Elvis's movie credits. Only devoted fans of the King will like this and maybe not even them.
Now this was something, not really a good something but it was
something nonetheless. Being a novice when it comes to the filmic work
of 'The King' I approached this film and his others from a fresh
perspective. I guess I was put off by the stigma of corniness that
plagues his filmography. After checking out Jaihouse Rock, Paradise
Hawaiian Style and Spinout I thought I'd give this relative b-movie a
I enjoyed the pseudo middle eastern soundtrack and expected the visual equivalent here, which essentially is what I got. The faux parody element of the film falls by the wayside pretty quick unfortunately and ultimately becomes another vehicle for Elvis' kung-fu, romancing and spontaneous song performances. Shake Your Tambourine and So Close So Far are the performance highlights and there is some overlooked snappy dialogue. The less said about the creepy Hey Little Girl sequence though the better. My favourite song, the Garage-lite Animal Instinct was sadly not featured in the film.
Its universally looked at as the bottom of the barrel in the career of Elvis but I think its a pretty fun 80 mins or so, there are far worse movies out there.
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
I am an amateur Elvis impersonator and a big time fan. Judging by the
remarks, I am in the minority regarding a positive feeling about this
film. I agree, King Creole was probably Elvis' best dramatic role but
Flaming Star, Kid Galahad and Jail House Rock were good also.
I believe E was offered roles in West Side Story and other big name movies from the 60's but the Colonel put the kibosh on all of them.
I can't agree with everything the Colonel did for E but he did make him rich and famous. Considering E was a truck driver from Tupelo, he did bring him a long way, probably more than Sam Phillips (a good man with few contacts) could have done. One thing about the Colonel, and this is just my opinion as controversial as it may be, I believe he was right about the movies that E was doing. Many of them were fairly predictable; beautiful ladies, lots of songs, pretty scenery and plots that did not strain the brain. People who went to the theaters back in the 60's to see these movies wanted this special mix. The bottom line is, it amounted to 90 minutes of light comedy escapism. Relax, have some popcorn, drink a coke, watch the King and forget your troubles for awhile.
Everyone knew the Colonel had E in a box and he felt stymied and bored at times and unfortunately it showed in some of these movies. But through it all, there was always that kind, award winning smile, the music and he did the best he could delivering his lines convincingly.
I know many of his movies were a recycle job, from a race car driver to a speed boat racer. But they were still fun to watch, at least for me. I am really not sure if people wanted a steady diet of serious or dramatic films . He had the talent for it but I'm not too sure about the market or audience. Everyone can decide that for themselves.
H.S. had a plausible script. The costumes were colorful, plenty of good looking ladies, one of his few films that incorporated karate moves, some good songs and the sets came out of storage from the 1925 Cecil B. DeMille production of King of Kings. I have it from a video pack and watch it from time to time when I just want to chill and have something fun (adventure and comedy) to watch. Again, for me, it's a good choice.
Lastly, I want to comment about a scene that seems to have drawn a lot of attention, the dance by the young girl. Maybe it's just me but I don't see the pedophile or pornographic connotation that some people alluded to. As the story goes, the young girl and her brother were orphans being reared by a dance troupe (3 women and one man) that traveled around trying to earn a living. The little I know of Arabian dancing, it does seem to have a sensual element to it. So what did you want her to do? The twist, tango or moon walk? Let's keep it in context and not magnify it into another Herod and Salome routine. Elvis acted as a father figure to her and he did nothing that could be construed as inappropriate.
Enough said. Elvis, God rest your soul, we miss you man.
One of the oddest of Elvis movie's but for some reason it works. The settings with Elvis ala Valentino warbling away in the desert are actually pretty good. Songs ain't so bad either.
You guys are going a little overboard with your harsh criticisms! OK, so you say the plot is very predictable .can you name off every movie that's not predictable and maybe list over one percent of every movie ever made??? To verbusen: "The times left Elvis behind with the British invasion already 2 years in the go" Yeh, and it was 2 years after this that Elvis came back and killed everyone once again with number singles left and right, right in the middle your British invasion. Yes, the movie had cheap outfits and props and many actions sequence/effects were not so great, but it was 1968 people!!! I'm not exactly watching a lot of 1968 movies that have 3d and cg effects blowing me away here. And to the other people saying it had typical "Elvis music". You must mean some of his filler songs for his movies because if you mean typical as in elvis's music in general you have another thing coming with 30 number 1s and over 1.2 billion records sold!!! Look people it's very simple, Elvis and the people making were not making this movie with the expression "ok, this is our talents at their best and this is the max of our acting, writing and directing skills". Yes, even in those days and for thousands of years before movies the main thing is MONEY!! The people making the film simply said "This is not our best by any means; we are so better than this, but since Elvis is in it people will buy it regardless so lets make it cheap and quick because were getting the money anyways" They had the "spit it out" attitude which is what they did so they could move on to the next project and do the same thing to get their money! You can't have the attitude, "man these people suck!!" They knew it sucked when they made it, they simply didn't care because they knew the same people who said it sucked while leaving the theater would have just payed to see it. And what do ya know .they were right. The movie made double it's money!! Elvis doesn't suck, non of those people sucked, they just didn't care!
Harum Scarum may not be Elvis's best movie, yet this Elvis movie is very much worth watching because it is a good movie. But more importantly the movies soundtrack is definitely the greatest album ever recorded, and its percussions are still being felt at the present time. For some reason they failed to play "Wisdom Of The Ages" in this Elvis movie and that is so wrong, because if there is one song from the 1960s that represents the 1960s rock & roll sound, its Elvis's song "Wisdom Of The Ages". Elvis's Harum Scarum soundtrack Middle Eastern infusion changed the world of rock & roll forever, and placed Elvis and his band, among the greatest of rock & roll teachers, who include John Lee Hooker and the most important Howlin Wolf. Yes, the Elvis movie Harum Scarum is worth buying to watch and so is that movies soundtrack.
This movie is one of my favorite Elvis Presley movies. This movie is about a
famous karate chopping actor in the United States. Assassins from a Middle
Eastern country see how skilled he is with his hands and they kidnap him.
When he arrives in their foreign land he learns he has been brought there to
kill their king. Along the way he even meets and falls for the king's
I very much disagree with the negative reviews about this movie. This movie has very good action and music. Songs include; Go East Young Man, Shake That Tambourine, So Close Yet So Far, Harum Holiday and much more. This movie won't disappoint you and it will most definitely not disappoint Elvis Presley fans like myself.

swfInputs: Solving Mozilla + Transparent Mode + Win + Special Chars within inputs
As you probably know the Flash Player uses three different types of modes an Flash movie is embedded in the browser window. Its is set via the wmode parameter in the embed or param tag.
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" /> <embed wmode="transparent" ...
With the transparent mode you can influence the relation between the Flash movie an the surrounding HTML. If the set the wmode to window the Flash movie will always lay on top of the rest of the page. This is absolutly helpfull if your application is "standalone", means the only center of user interaction or if you have an full window application ( at least with full screen ).
But often you have other HTML elements around the Flash movie which are at the same level of user interaction and might be as important as the Flash movie ( Best example might by fly-out menus which has to overlay all other content. Or maybe confirm messages which are not realized by the JavaScript confirm-dialog ). If you use wmode window html elements will always behind the Flash movie (setting the html z-index has no effect ), so there is no real interaction between HTML/JavaScript an the Flash movie. For this you need wmode equals transparent.
wmode transparent allows an equal mixture between Flash and HTML/ JavaScript. Just as the parameters sounds, the Flash movie will also have an transparent background and let the behind HTML shine through. Attention: The transaparent background is expensive in performance. Use it carefully.
The third mode after window and transparent is opaque. The opaque also allows the mix of Flash and HTML/ JavaScript, but has now transparent background.
Since the introduction of these two modes (transparent, opaque) there is a bug with Mozilla based Browsers and textfields on Window plattforms. If you try to enter special character – famoused example is the @ – in text fields it wont work. This is very uncomfortable if you want to have a user login where you use e-mail adresses as username ( @see Adobe Bug Base ).
My solution to solve this issue is called swfInputs. It uses the ExternalInterface class of the Flash player. swfInputs is a an AS3 which extends the Flex TextInput class. It communicates with an JavaScript class. This will create normal HTML Inputfields and places it exactly above the original Flash Inputfield.
On entering text in the overlay-HTML-Inputfield the text will be transfered via ExternalInterface into the Flash movie and the corresponding Flash Inputfield. For the Flash application this mechanism is transparent because the access to the field and change events on the input field will still work.
The styles (height, width, border, colors ) which you set on the Flash Input will be transfered to the HTML-Input and set via CSS styles. For further styling like background images you could of course also use standard CSS.
swfInputs also support multiple Flash movies within on HTML page and have an "point-to-point" connection between the overlaying HTML-Input and the Flash-Input. So there is no general keylogger on the complete HTML page, which might cause problems with your JavaScript functions. This also means that you could have different Flash movies on one page ( which might also communicate to each other via LocalConnection ) where each movie could have its own TextInputs.
What to do in your code?
swfInputs consists of two parts:
- The SWFTextInput AS3 Class (which create the connection to the JavaScript class)
- and the swfInputs JavaScript Class (which handles the creation and HTML communication)
<script src="../javascript/dojo.js" language="javascript"></script> <script src="../javascript/swfInputs.js" language="javascript"></script> <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"> swfInputs.init('swfInputTestcase'); </script>
The String-value int the constructor call is the channel-name. This is optional if you just use on single instance within the HTML-page.
Within you Flash/ Flex application you have to use the SWFTextInput class for textfields instead of TextInput. The SWFTextInput class uses the JSCallStack to optimize the JavaScript communiaction ( which could be a lot on fast typing, so its recommanded to use it ).
A basic Flash/ Flex app could look like this. You see there is nothing very special instead of the swfInputs:SWFTextInput class.
