WASHINGTON (AP) ? The Supreme Court is wrestling with the First Amendment implications of a policy that forces private health organizations to denounce prostitution as a condition to get AIDS funding.
The court appeared divided, and not along ideological lines, Monday in an argument over whether the anti-prostitution pledge violates the health groups' constitutional rights.
Four organizations that work in Africa, Asia and South America are challenging the 2003 law. They say their work has nothing to do with prostitution.
The Obama administration says it is reasonable for the government to give money only to groups that oppose prostitution and sex trafficking because they contribute to the spread of HIV/AIDS.
A federal appeals court struck down the pledge as an unacceptable intrusion on the groups' right to speak freely.

TOKMOK, Kyrgyzstan (AP) ? The two brothers accused of blowing up homemade bombs at the Boston Marathon came from a Chechen family that for decades had been tossed from one country to another by war and persecution.
Their father and former neighbors from Kyrgyzstan ? home to many Chechens who were deported from their native villages by Soviet dictator Josef Stalin ? tell of a family often on the move in search of safety and a better life.
Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, who was killed in a shootout, and his 19-year-old brother, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who was captured alive, had moved to the United States about a decade ago with their parents and two sisters. By all accounts, the younger brother had many friends, but his older brother felt alienated from American society and in recent years had turned increasingly to Islam.
Although neither spent much time in Chechnya, a province in southern Russia that has been torn apart by war and an Islamic insurgency, both strongly identified themselves as Chechens. They took up boxing and wrestling, two of the most popular sports in Chechnya, where people are proud of their warrior traditions.
The brothers' story begins in Tokmok, a town about 60 kilometers (35 miles) from the capital of Kyrgyzstan, a country in Central Asia that was once part of the Soviet Union. Stalin rounded up the Chechens and shipped them east during World War II, seeing them as potentially disloyal. Their father, Anzor Tsarnaev, was born in Kyrgyzstan.
"This was a very good family," Badrudi Tsokoev, a fellow Chechen who lived next door to the Tsarnaevs, said Saturday. "They all strove to get a higher education, to somehow set themselves up in life."
The brothers' grandfather had died tragically when a shell exploded as he was scavenging for metal that could be sold as scrap, neighbors said.
After the 1991 collapse of the Soviet Union, the family moved to Chechnya, only to have war break out in 1994 between Russian troops and Chechen separatists fighting for an independent homeland. Dzhokhar was born in 1993 and shares the name of Chechnya's first separatist leader.
The fierce battles, which reduced much of Chechnya to rubble, sent the Tsarnaevs fleeing back to Kyrgyzstan with their two young sons, a daughter and another one on the way.
"As soon as the war started they came back," said Nadezhda Nazarenko, another former neighbor in Tokmok. The children's mother "described how they were in clothes they would wear only around the house and fled the bombing, managing only to grab their documents and a few things."
Neighbors said Anzor Tsarnaev, who had studied law and previously served in the prosecutor's office, worked hard to provide for his family.
"Soon they began to live well and renovated their home," Nazarenko said. "The children did well in school and were well behaved."
Russian troops rolled into Chechnya again in 1999 and took it under Moscow's control. The same year, the Tsarnaev family moved back to Russia, according to Anzor Tsarnaev, settling briefly in Dagestan, which like neighboring Chechnya is a predominantly Muslim republic. They left from there in 2002 for the United States, joining relatives who had emigrated earlier.
Anzor Tsarnaev told The Associated Press that the move to the U.S. was motivated in part by a desire to escape discrimination against Chechens in Russia and Kyrgyzstan.
He returned about a year ago to Dagestan, which has become the epicenter of the Islamic insurgency that spilled over from Chechnya to spread throughout the North Caucasus region.
His elder son visited him last year, according to neighbors in Makhachkala, the capital of Dagestan.
No evidence has emerged to connect Tamerlan Tsarnaev with the insurgents, who have carried out a series of terrorist attacks in Russia. The FBI said it interviewed him in 2011 at the request of an unspecified foreign government and found nothing of concern at the time.
Anzor Tsarnaev visited his hometown in Kyrgyzstan last year, according to Tsokoev, the former neighbor. "He was very happy and proud of his sons' success in the U.S.," Tsokoev said. "We also were happy for him. He worked hard to give his children a good education."
Tsarnaev, who worked as an auto mechanic in the U.S., seems unable to comprehend that his sons could have been involved in such a gruesome bombing.
"These children were brought up with kindness," Tsarnaev said in an interview shown Saturday on Russian television. "We're a family of lawyers, and everyone who knows us knows that."

It?s easy to write off a video game based on a TV show as a company?s way to cash in on the property. While not all of the games in the list below do that, most of them do. That?s a shame.
Multiple video games exist for the five shows below ? but we think they can do better. A lot better. ?
Battlestar Galactica (2004 series)
What we have: Not much. A simplistic shooter was released on Xbox Live Arcade and then later pulled from the platform. A free-to-play browser-based MMO also exists in addition to a mobile game, and all focus on space combat.
What we need: Mass Effect wouldn?t be a bad series to emulate. Running around a beautifully recreated Battlestar Galactica as Lieutenant Starbuck would be fun. Just hearing her yell ?frak? at people might be enough, but the game could also allow players to have meaningful interactions with the show?s complex world. Dogfights can take a cue from Star Fox and have little heads pop up when pilots relay messages, except it won?t be of Slippy Toad screaming for mercy as he proves his worthlessness as a pilot.?
Avatar: The Last Airbender
What we have: An assortment of terrible action games best left smoldering in the flames of one of the show?s fire benders. The games are so bad that people only remember the Xbox 360 version because it hands out 1,000 Gamerscore in less than five minutes for spamming the attack button.?
What we need: An open-world action-RPG centered on exploration with cel-shaded graphics akin to Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3. The world crafted in the show is easily one of the most interesting on television. There?d need to be a modest use of bending ? no wave after wave of cheap enemies unless utilized in the show?s bigger set pieces. And sky bison Appa. For the uninitiated, Appa is a flying bison from the TV show. He helps the main characters travel the world and fight the evil fire nation. So basically he is too awesome to not be included.
American Gladiators
What we have: Perhaps the best Amiga, Sega Genesis, Super NES and Nintendo Entertainment System games ever created. That last sentence is an outright lie; the NES version barely resembled the TV show, but the other versions did ? just not very well.?
What we need: This show screams Kinect game. As a downloadable title a new American Gladiators game could bring all the thrills of being a truly elite athlete right to your living room. Many of the show?s events like Joust or Hang Tough would make for a fun diversion on the Kinect. Sweaty, muscular gladiators are optional.?

Time management is one of the harder parts of productivity. A to-do list might show you what needs to get done, but figuring out how long you need to spend on each task is tough. Harvard Business Review recommends dividing your tasks into three categories based on effort.
Basically, if your day is so busy that you're unsure how much time you have, you need to figure out which tasks matter and which don't:
Break down activities you do into three categories: invest, neutral, or optimize. ?Investment? pursuits are areas where more time and a higher quality of work lead to an exponential payoff, such as strategic planning. Aim for A-level work here. In ?neutral? activities, more time spent doesn't necessarily mean a significantly higher return. Attending project meetings is a good example. You don?t need to excel; a B is fine. ?Optimize? duties are those where additional time leads to no added value and keeps you from doing other, more valuable activities. The faster you get these tasks done, the better.
It's simple, easy, and should only take you a few seconds to do. If your day's looking a little blown out with tasks, the three categories will hopefully provide the organization you need.

A Los Angeles-based investor and philanthropist is giving a $110 million gift of stock to the University of Michigan ? the largest donation in its history ? for a graduate student residence hall expected to provide a strong selling point as the school competes for top students seeking advanced degrees, university officials announced Thursday.
The Board of Regents approved the gift from Berkshire Hathaway Inc. Vice Chairman Charles Munger on Thursday afternoon. Munger is billionaire investor Warren Buffett's right-hand man, and Buffett consults him on every major move.
The building expected to open in fall 2015 is aimed at promoting interaction and breaking down academic barriers, university officials said. The gift from Munger includes $10 million for fellowships to be offered to students of the Ann Arbor-based university's 19 schools and colleges. The fellows would be among the 600 residents of the eight-story building, which is to be centrally located on the campus.
Munger told The Associated Press by phone from his California home that he recognizes spending a huge sum for a new residence hall isn't the highest priority of most universities or an obvious avenue for philanthropy. But the 89-year-old Michigan alumnus said it builds on other ideas, including a large graduate student housing complex he funded at Stanford University.
Munger said his desire to get graduate students working together and exchanging ideas goes back to his law school days at Harvard University, where he saw little interactions among students in different fields. He's driven by the words of mathematician and philosopher Alfred North Whitehead, who spoke of "the fatal unconnectedness of academic disciplines."
"It's a pernicious evil. Fatal ? I don't think that's too strong," said Munger, who studied math at Michigan in the 1940s. "Specialization causes a lot of bad thinking."
The Michigan residence hall apartments will feature several individual bed and study rooms with a private bathroom, a large shared kitchen, and common dining and living areas. Some will be used by visiting faculty. The eighth-floor will feature gathering spaces, a fitness center and commissary. There also will be a gathering room for the fellows.
Total cost of the building will be $185 million, and the balance will be paid for by lease revenue, the university said.
Gift will bolster UM's gradute offerings, entice students
It's the latest in a series of large investments in the university, particularly gifts that bolster its graduate offerings and entice students who might otherwise head to the Ivy League or other prestigious schools. Last month, the university announced that Helen Zell, wife of billionaire real estate mogul Sam Zell, was giving $50 million to support the school's acclaimed graduate writing program.
"It could be a huge tool for universities to transform the way they recruit and train graduate students," Gene Tempel, founding dean of the Indiana University Lilly Family School of Philanthropy, said of Munger's gift.
He said there have been larger gifts to other U.S. universities, but he's unaware of any as large as Munger's for such a purpose. While improving interdisciplinary studies is a common goal throughout academia, Michigan's project stands out, Tempel said.
"Using the graduate students as a tool to help break down the silos ? that in itself is a very innovative approach," he said.
University of Michigan President Mary Sue Coleman, who announced her retirement on Thursday, said in a statement that most universities don't adopt a communal approach in graduate education, but Munger is "passionate about improving graduate student housing."
Munger became vice chair in 1978 of Omaha, Neb.-based conglomerate Berkshire Hathaway, which besides investments owns more than 80 businesses.
Munger, who also has given millions to Michigan's law school and the Lawyer's Club housing complex, said a building or money won't succeed in connecting disciplines: the students will.
"Big goals with central planning have a lot of failure," he said. "Modern graduate students are sensational people. You don't have to drive them ? all you have to do is enable them."

I want to make something like thispublic static void main(String[] args){ doSomething(); // Wait doSomethingElse(); }
How to stop code? I was thinking about Thread, and sleep method, but then i thought, that i don't know specific sleeping time. Situation is like this:
main class contains jframe window.
I want to add one class which extends JPanel. There ActionListeners would follow user, until he does something, and then I want to came back to the main method and call second method.
Is this even possible? And if yes, then how can I make this?

Not really, this happens in two different thread.This is not a noce solution but you can always start a thread that does something like
class MyTread extends Thread { private boolean flag = true; public void run() { while(flag} { thread sleep 1 second } ... do what you have to do

Looks good, but how to call setter method of the main class? Do I need to send whole main object to the JPanel class with ActionListener?

Did I just see pbl call Thread.sleep() without a try/catch clause or a declaration of throws InterruptedException??
Surely I was mistaken!
