A long time has past since the Avatar Gaang and Teen Titans had last seen each other. The memories from both sides stuck around for a long time on both teams. There's one difference though among the Avatar team though...the team had shrunk.
That's right. Their canine friends, Weed, Mel, Kyoushiro and now Lycaeon, had now left them. It wasn't a sad-filled good bye, since the team understood that the canines belong in the wild. The only one whom stayed though was Toube, still keeping his promise to Toph.
Speaking of which, the story starts off at Toph's metal-bending school. Her usual bending students were doing pretty good and she had just finished her working day and the students went home, leaving her and Toube to go home too.
"That's pretty impressive Toph, with the teaching and all." Toube said. Toph simply laughed.
"Yeah. I'm perfect for a teacher! I give good lessons, push my students ahead-"
"And yell a lot, I've noticed."
"YEAH!! I LOVE TO TELL PEOPLE WHAT TO DO!!" Toph beamed. Toube chuckled with Toph's happiness, seeing her love for being in charge.
"Yeah I see that. You are a good teacher."
"You bet! My mind is like a steel trap!" now Toube given Toph those "you-sure-about-that?" smirks.
"So...you're saying you remember everything?"
"Then...you already know about the big wedding tonight." An alarm suddenly went off in Toph's head when he said. The shocked look made Toube add in "Yep. I knew it. You flat out forgot didn't you?"
"That was tonight?! Crud! Crud! I didn't plan anything! I-"
"Calm down jitterbug, it's okay if it slipped your mind, you done a lot of teaching. Besides, Ba Sing Se is only a few miles away from here. Well make it in no time flat."
"...you're right Toube! Let's go!"
With that, Toph and Toube raced off on their way to Ba Sing Se where the Weddings gonna take place.
This wedding was a big celebration going on in Ba Sing Se. The Gaang all had the preparations for it. All of their friends had been invited to it, with all festivities to guarantee a night to remember...and for Aang and Katara, the guarantee to remember is sealed.
This wedding is for them, and they want something great for it. Something unique from so many others. They were getting the final surprises for the party when Toph and Toube showed up. Toube was impressed with all the preparation.
"Well I see the two lovebirds are making a pretty good nest." Toube said.
"Yeah. We're making this wedding a night to remember. Right sweetheart?" Aang said.
"Right." Katara said, and they both gave a quick kiss. Toph kinda got abit of a childish sick look on her face after hearing the kiss.
"I'm lucky I can't see." Toph thought. Toube simply chuckled
"Come on Toph. You might as well get used to it. Everyone falls into that great love circle at least once. Even someone as strong-headed as you."
"Okay, okay forgot the last part."
"Well ether way, good thing you showed up Toph. We need some help with your earthbending." Aang said.
"Sure." Toph and Aang went off as Toube nudged Katara.
"You chose a good kid Katara. He's a great bender of good will. Not to mention a child of heart."
"Yeah he is. A very lovely Air Nomad."
"And sounding from his stories, he's been through a ton. Especially being over 100 years experience for a young teenager."
"Right. Me and Sokka never would come this far if it weren't for him."
"Yeah...by the way, where is Sokka anyway? He around right now?"
"Sure. He went off to help Zuko with the fireworks."
"Fireworks?! Alright! I always wanted to see those fireworks!" Toube said, intrigued right away. But suddenly they both heard a large explosion from not too far away, and a loud "DARN IT!" rang out. Immediately Toube and Katara raced down to the explosion.
"What happened?! You okay?!" Katara asked. Turns out that explosion was made by an accidental launch. The culprit coughed out the smoke as three others tried to help her out.
"Hey! What's going on here?!" Toube demanded. Of course, not meeting before, the four got a bit surprised seeing a talking tosa dog. As for Toube, the four seemed a bit different themselves. A tomboy, a small kid, a tall heavyweight, and a silent straw-hat.
"You know these four Katara?" Toube asked.
"Of course I do. Guys, this is our new friend we've met on our long trip. The strongest dog in the world, Toube. And Toube, these four are the Freedom Fighters of the Earth Kingdom. This is Smellerbee, The Duke, Pipsqueak, and Longshot." at first Toube was confused himself with the odd names, but who is he to judge someone over that.
"Nice to meet you. But what happened over here? Looked like a bomb went off or something."
"That's kinda what happened. Sorry." The Duke said.
"It's okay Pipsqueak." Toube said. The Duke got a bit annoyed hearing that.
"I'm not Pipsqueak. He's Pipsqueak, I'm The Duke." He said, pointing to the largest of the group.
"Well...he looks nothing like a Pipsqueak...well anyway, you still have some explaining to do."
"Right, right. I just, sorta accidentally set a firework off and it blew up in my face. Literally." Smellerbee groaned.
"Well it's only one. You good. Now let's get this wedding started!"
As the afternoon went on by, the party was going on great for everyone. All their friends were having a great time at the wedding, along with the Gaang. The actual wedding itself went right as planned, and Katara and Aang are now officially a couple. A very sweet wedding for the two indeed. It was surely the sweetest time of the Gaang ever.
It was right after is when the festivities started up. The main event was an awesome fireworks display. With each aligned up in sync for the start of the night. the fire works are set to go off exactly when "the sun disappears behind the earth". In the meantime, the party was going great with everyone, they all having their fun. As the time went on, it soon became time to start the fireworks!
"Okay everybody! The fireworks are about to start, so keep your eyes to the sky!" Sokka announced to everyone. They all were very excited and looked over in the clearing, in front of the palace. Zuko, waiting by the fireworks, saw Aang give the signal and Zuko lit up the fuse...just a few seconds later...it began.
The fire works shot right on up and exploded into a variety of colors, and sizes. Each one showing off what their made of, as if trying to out due one another. Everyone especially liked it when the fire works started showing them up there. The Kyoshi Warriors, the Freedom Fighters, the White Lotus, and lastly the Avatar Gaang. The party was a great success for all of them.
"Best. day. ever." Aang said, sitting next to his newly wed.
"Yes it is." Katara replied. Snuggling up to her sweet heart. Yep. Life is good for everyone...
As the Duke was watching the great fireworks show. One glance over to the left...suddenly he saw something...this sudden lack of interest in the fireworks caught Pipsqueak's attention.
"You okay The Duke?"
"Yeah. I'm fine. Sorry Pipsqueak."
The Duke acted like he was still enjoying himself...but truly his eyes kept glancing back at the odd set of eyes watching from afar. He just can't take his eyes truly off it...until they both disappeared from his sight. He didn't know it yet...but he actually was off lucky...very lucky.

LARAMIE, Wyo. -
Following its first scrimmage of spring practice last Saturday, the Wyoming Football team saw its first depth chart of spring released by the Cowboy coaching staff late on Monday. Head coach Craig Bohl discussed the depth chart with media Monday evening after the Cowboys completed their eighth of 15 practices this spring.
Some of the more noticeable things revealed by the initial depth chart was the listing of redshirt senior Cameron Coffman atop the quarterback position followed by junior-college transfer Josh Allen. Coffman transferred to Wyoming a year ago from Indiana University where he was the Hoosiers starting quarterback in 2012. Allen transferred to UW in January of 2015 from Reedley College, a junior college in Reedley, Calif.
Another notable change was the move of redshirt freshman quarterback Austin Fort of Gillette, Wyo., to tight end. The first questions posed to Bohl were about his quarterbacks.
"I thought we had a good start to this week, coming off a scrimmage," said Bohl. "We're really pleased with our quarterback position. Our numbers weren't great in our first scrimmage, but Cam (Coffman) has some really good presence, and you'll see that in the Spring Game. Josh (Allen) has one of the liver arms that I have been around. He's got to continue to learn how to manage our offense, but he has come around fairly well.
"I thought some of our changes (to the depth chart) will prove to be profitable. Austin (Fort), in the short amount of time he has had to adjust, did some nice things at the tight end position. We've always known he was a really good athlete.
"A lot went into the decision to move Austin from quarterback to tight end. First of all, we felt Austin could be a good quarterback, so the move was not motivated because he didn't have ability at quarterback. We knew that Austin, coming out of high school, had good speed and was a really athletic guy. He showed that by running in the 4.6 range (in the 40-yard dash). He's 6'4" and around 215 pounds, and I think he'll put on some more weight. But the tight end position is really important for us, and we needed another exceptional athlete there. It's an opportunity for him to get on the field and help us.
"I appreciate his attitude. He came in here and really competed at quarterback. It wasn't like he wasn't making progress at the quarterback position. I think he has a real upside to get on the field at tight end."
On the defensive side of the ball, the linebacker position revealed some players at new positions listed No. 1 at their new spots. Junior to be Eric Nzeocha, who played tight end for the Pokes a year ago, is listed No. 1 at middle linebacker. At strong-side linebacker, former starting safety Tim Kamana, who is entering his sophomore season in 2015, is currently holding down the SAM linebacker position. Kamana started the last eight games of the 2014 season at safety for Wyoming. Veteran Lucas Wacha is the projected starter at the weak-side linebacker position. Wacha, who will be a junior, has started 15 games at linebacker over the past two seasons.
"We're making progress on defense," said Bohl. "We've moved some guys around. Eric Nzeocha slid into that starting role at middle linebacker. With what we do with the MIKE linebacker, it is important to have a guy who can run vertically and he can certainly do that."
The Cowboy secondary is missing some key contributors this spring due to injuries. Among those missing are sophomore to be Robert Priester, who started seven of the last eight games of his true freshman season at cornerback before missing the 2014 finale due to injury. Also missing is junior to be Xavier Lewis, who suffered a stroke just prior to finals last semester. Lewis is taking the spring semester off recovering from his stroke. Also junior to be D.J. May, who was a standout running back for the Pokes, is moving to defensive back, but is limited this spring due to injury. Bohl was asked about the names of a few walk-ons that appeared in the Cowboy secondary on the initial depth chart.
"What we do as we grade everything in practices and scrimmages is we rank who are the best guys, whether they have a scholarship or they don't have a scholarship that is irrelevant," said Bohl. "We're going to move the guys up who show the best play-making ability and the best competency in our offense or defense."
There were no surprises on the defensive line where senior defensive ends Eddie Yarbrough and Siaosi Hala'api'api both return after starting 27 and 14 games, respectively during their college careers. They are joined by juniors Uso Olive, at defensive tackle, and Chase Appleby, at nose tackle. Olive started 11 of 12 games last season at nose tackle, while Appleby started the other game. Both can play either of the interior defensive line positions, Olive will shift primarily to defensive tackle this season to take the place of graduated senior Patrick Mertens.
Bohl concluded his comments after Monday's practice with this comment about his team, "Overall, we're making good progress halfway through spring football, but we need to keep pushing."
The Cowboys have three more practices this week on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. Saturday's practice will see the Pokes conduct their second spring scrimmage. This Saturday's scrimmage will be closed to media and the general public.
The final week of spring practice will begin on Monday, April 20. The Spring Game on Saturday, April 25 at 2 p.m. will be free and open to the media and the general public.
Remaining Spring Practice Schedule
Wednesday, April 15 - 4 or 4:30 p.m. (Pads, Practice #9)
Friday, April 17 - 4 or 4:30 p.m. (Pads, Practice #10)

"Matriarch" of Underage Sex-Trafficking Ring Sentenced to Life in Prison
The feds claim Medeles oversaw an operation that made at least $12 million off undocumented Mexican girls who were smuggled, enslaved and then sold out of the Las Palmas II cantina.
Google streetview
On Wednesday a federal judge handed down a life sentence to the "matriarch" of a massive sex-trafficking ring that operated for years out of a southeast side cantina.
The feds have called Hortencia "Tencha" Medeles, 70, the ringleader of a squalid Telephone Road brothel that trafficked in underage girls for more than a decade. The U.S. Attorney's Office, which prosecuted Medeles and 13 co-defendants, one of whom remains at large, released a statement Wednesday stressing the magnitude of the case:
This landmark sex trafficking case is one of the most significant in scope and magnitude to be tried to a verdict of guilty on all counts, and one of the few in which as many as 12 victims of an international sex trafficking scheme came forward to testify at trial. Twelve victims rescued in connection with this case testified at trial regarding the horrors of their ordeals, beginning with being recruited in their home countries, only to be forced into prostitution against their will in the United States. Some victims were as young as 14 when the traffickers recruited them, using fraud and false pretenses to lure them into the traffickers' control.
The feds claim Medeles oversaw an operation that made at least $12 million off undocumented Mexican girls who were smuggled, enslaved and then sold out of the Las Palmas II cantina. That's likely a low-ball number, considering the feds allege Medeles personally pocketed $1.6 million over just a 19-month period.
Court testimony paints an operation that was stunning both in scope and brutality. The girls were reportedly locked inside a room above the bar for hours, sometimes days at a time. Medeles or an employee, like her daughter Delia Diaz, would escort "special clients" to the girls' room, explaining which ones had worked at the brothel longest and which ones were "fresh meat." For men willing to spend $350 to $500 for an hour with a girl, sometimes as young as 14 years old, Medeles had hardly any rules. Just don't hit them in the face, she told clients. It depreciates their value.

The case against Medeles and her co-conspirators specifically mentioned 12 victims, many of whom delivered agonizing testimony at Medeles's sentencing hearing on Wednesday, according to the Houston Chronicle. Prosecutors, however, insist that given the size and duration of the operation, it's likely hundreds of girls were victimized at Las Palmas II.
One FBI agent who investigated the case testified that Medeles justified holding many of the young, undocumented girls captive by accusing them of owing her money for clothing, perfume and food. Even though the girls were locked in a cramped, dank room above the bar, Medeles charged them for rent. Sometimes their debts would grow by thousands of dollars without explanation. Prosecutors say many of the girls wanted so desperately to escape that they actually begged their "clients" for help.
Medeles was convicted by a jury last year on multiple trafficking, conspiracy and money laundering counts, while 12 other co-defendants have all pleaded guilty, according to federal prosecutors. The feds are still searching for another suspect in the case, Alfono Diaz-Juarez, a pimp who prosecutors claim ran the brothel for Medeles in its final years as she grew more and more paranoid about detection from law enforcement. They ask that anyone with knowledge of his whereabouts contact the FBI at 713-693-5000.

A Little Birdie Told Me....
...that there's only one place to be on January 5th. The birdie told someone else first (would you expect anything less). Doesn't matter...we've all pleaded, complained, even maybe cried a little to think that maybe the Baltic Thunder (see: the history) was all just a cruel hoax. But, alas, no more. Put Exton, PA in your crosshairs and get the New Year started right.

We've got a tool which can translate our generic scheduling rules/jobs into inputs for OPC, CA-7, Jobtrac and a locally written mainframe scheduler. But I'm not able to remember how Control-M stuff can be created via 'batch' input (like CA-7). Or whether it's similar to Jobtrac, in that the schedule member contains all the relevant information. Does anyone know the manual where this is described? I've been going through the User manual and have found the KSL (which might be useful - and which I don't remember from 15 years ago). But I guess I'm looking for info on the formats of the scheduling table and the job network file. Or should these never be updated directly, but via a batch process (similar to the load process in CA-7)? Possibly the afore-mentioned KSL? Slight problem is this is all being done without access to a working Control-M facility, as I'm currently not on-site...

Casey Stoner emerged fastest in a frenetic end to the warm-up for the British Grand Prix at Silverstone.
The lead changed hands four times on the last laps of the session, as long-time pacesetter Stoner was deposed by his Ducati team-mate Nicky Hayden, who was then beaten by polesitter Jorge Lorenzo (Yamaha), before finally Stoner returned to the front with a 2m04.711s.
Qualifying star Randy de Puniet was fourth for LCR Honda, ahead of works Honda rider Andrea Dovizioso.
The session saw two crashes at Club, the worst involving Interwetten Honda's Hiroshi Aoyama. The 250cc champion had a violent high-side as he accelerated. Aoyama landed heavily and had to be taken from the scene by stretcher.
Dani Pedrosa also crashed at the same location, losing the front end of his Honda on the way into the corner. But despite having had a massive crash at the end of qualifying yesterday, he showed no ill effects and was able to walk away immediately.
Pos Rider Team Time Gap 1. Casey Stoner Ducati 2m04.711s 2. Jorge Lorenzo Yamaha 2m04.820s + 0.109s 3. Nicky Hayden Ducati 2m05.019s + 0.308s 4. Randy de Puniet LCR Honda 2m05.267s + 0.556s 5.

AAP: Hum rajneeti karne nahin aayein hain, hum logon ki seva karne aayein hain.
Arvind Kejriwal and his AAP are playing politics with and are claiming to be working selflessly for the aam aadmi on the streets. This claim sounds phony. AAP is not only utterly dishonest with the common man but also sly in their political designs. The AAP does not care if the country goes into anarchy. It does not care about external forces trying to create instability or insecurity in the country. National interests on all fronts are compromised and the political stand AAP has adopted clearly looks anarchical. It is slowly exposing its fake brand of politics.
AAP is irresponsible, irrational, politically motivated, crafty, and self serving. They are really not into politics for doing any good for the people of Delhi as they claim to be, but to destabilize democratic systems along the lines of Maoists and Naxalites. The only difference is that the AAP does not carry guns and kill people. But getting people with extremist thinking in governance is more dangerous. The extremists inside the government can destroy the country with their views and use the government machinery to destabilize the country.
The AAP with their extremist ideas in governance is following undemocratic, uncivilized rule.
They are playing a big game and in this game the AAP is with the corrupt Congress which is even more dangerous. The Congress too is playing a bigger political game to get political millage for 2014 elections. It is providing political support to the AAP in Delhi with a cunning game plan to fight their political battle with BJP and Modi by using and misusing AAP. And the AAP is ready to be used and abused by Congress which clearly means that the AAP is batting for the Congress.
The day the AAP decided to form the government in Delhi with Congress support, it was clear the AAP did not believe in any ideology, and was willing to compromise their principles for the lust of power. It is nothing but moral and political corruption by AAP which claims that it decided to float a political party to fight corruption in governance at all levels. Getting the support of the Congress was not a problem for the AAP, but coming to power was its ultimate aim and that is when the party got exposed with their phony character.
The AAP is completely phony and hypocritical and is proving to be no different than other political parties.
The dharna against Arun Jaitley by the AAP on the streets of Delhi was nothing but a political stunt; a well thought out drama to divert the attention of the people of Delhi and India from their governance role. And it was a clever strategy adopted by the AAP to get media focus to promote the party's profile for the 2014 elections. It is getting wide media exposure 24 X 7. But it does not realize, this very media exposure is exposing their political motives rather than helping them promote their image. Everyone can see through their political nautanki. Today in 2014, people are no fools.
The AAP don`t seem to believe in rule of law at all from the way they accuse anyone and everyone without any evidence. They hold press conferences and just make wild allegations without providing any tangible proof for anyone to believe in or produce in the court of law. They confess that they do not have proof for their allegations and yet expect us to take the word of their elected representative? They say it should be good enough to believe their charges against Modi and Arun Jaitley who they claim are trying to buy AAP members by offering 10-20 Crores to a few AAP members to break away from the party. Even if there is truth in what they allege, it needs to be substantiated with some tangible proof. Are these educated people in AAP so ignorant about the law? Some of them are law graduates; it is hard to believe, are they simply stupid?
Or are they playing their own political game with everyone?
Two days back, their Chief Minister announced a list of corrupt politicians on the streets of Delhi by asking the members of the AAP who all should be included in the list. That street drama looked more like a Khapp Panchayat. Does the AAP want to deliver justice on the streets like the Taleban does? What does the AAP think, is this banana republic? This country has a constitution that protects rights of all. No one can make wild allegations and not own a responsibility for proving them in the court of law. Arvind Kejriwal and his team members, playing the role of prosecutors, witnesses and the jury is highly irresponsible and unconstitutional. This is true especially coming from a person who is holding a high constitutional post and heading the government. It is not just AAP's word against another's. If he wants to follow street politics, let him step down from the governance and make a mockery of politics as much as he wants. But not while holding a constitutional post.
This is a very ridiculous yet serious political situation because an elected government is involved in the protests and dharnas but not in governance that they promised people of Delhi in their election campaigns. Good and non-corrupt governance was their commitment to the people with many other promises on power, water, security to women, price reduction, justice for all, aam aadmi participation in the governance and a referendum on all major issues. No serious work on these promises has been done. Today, the AAP's sole target seems to be Narendra Modi and BJP seniors and not really the Congress. All the tamasha on the streets of Delhi is to defame the BJP and Modi and to hog the limelight and to stay in the news.
This kind of politics by the AAP raises many other questions of very serious nature which we should not and must not ignore.
Is he a prop sponsored by some political interest or party? Are outside forces supporting this movement? Are the enemies of India trying to spread anarchy in the country with a political interest? The foreign funds AAP is getting are not disclosed by them till today. The news is Manish Sisodia was running an NGO and getting huge funds from foreign foundations. Arvind Kejriwal too was running an NGO for getting foreign aid and the amounts received by Sisodia and Arvind Kejriwal are huge.
Who are these people who are financially aiding this political party in India? What are their interests?
In today's world everything is possible in politics. Everyone is purchasable and everyone is for sale, barring a few exceptions. We cannot paint all with the same brush but looking at the present day self serving politics of convenience, no one can be ruled out. The people who show utter disrespect for the Republic Day openly, the people who support Khapp Panchayat justice system, the people who believe in Taleban style functioning and justice on the streets- these people cannot govern a state, let alone a country. India is in a vulnerable state and manipulative politics are working have been working for the past 20-30 years, supporting the IM, ISI and Hafeez Said to destabilize the Indian economy, democracy and development.
Seriously, we need to think before letting the wrong people govern. This is the time to save India from going into the wrong hands.
The AAP is exposed everyday with their politics of convenience and arrogance. Their attitude and political approach is more like Union leaders on the streets we have seen. AAP is doing exactly the same. AAP today is fighting their own political battle and not for the aam aadmi. Their own political interests are the 2014 elections. After coming to power, they have not delivered anything but the 28 seats in Delhi elections have made Arvind Kejriwal and his team swollen headed and arrogant.Voters of India need to watch out in the 2014 elections if politics is threatened by such unruly anarchists.
We ask: Arvind Kejriwaljee, yeh rajneeti nahin toh kya hai? Yeh kya nautanki hai?

Sunshine was all sunshine: Carnival Sunshine Cruise Review by Santa Rosa Beach Realtor
Overall Member Rating
Sunshine was all sunshine
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: New Orleans
Embarkation was very quick. We did not get to the port until after noon because we were touring the river area and enjoying the sights. We got on the ship around 1pm and were able to go right to our rooms and drop our carry on luggage. Our other luggage was in our rooms by 4pm. We parked at the port and found it very organized and More easily accessed. I can not say enough good things about Carnival Sunshine. All of the negative comments were totally off in my humble opinion.
The ports were Belize, Roatan and Cozumel. We had great weather and saw showers on a sea day for about 15 minutes. Having left very cold weather the warm sun was a much hoped for and appreciated bonus. We were told that the previous cruise had seen no sun. We did the best of Roatan tour with Victor Boden. Joannie was our guide and she was delightful. We toured the monkey farm and snorkeled at West End. We had a nice lunch and toured West Bay beaches area. We loved this port. In Belize we took a carriage ride. We never felt unsafe in the city. The winds were up and there had been rain the day before so excursions were canceled at that port. We shopped a little and went back to the ship for a late lunch. In Cozumel we went to Mayan Ruins and Paradise Beach. Taxi ride was $84. for the four of us to the ruins and to Paradise Beach. Getting into the ruins cost an additional $9.00. The taxi ride from Paradise Beach to the pier was $14.00. We enjoyed every day both on and off ship.
The Carnival Sunshine is wonderful. We loved the serenity area as well as the theater pool area. The shows that we saw were short and good. The cruise director Jamie was very upbeat and does a great job with encouraging and informing without overdoing. We ate in the Sunset Dining room with early seating. The food was always good with plenty to choose from. The beef usually tasted like chuck roast but it was good. Two nights my husband complained that spring rolls were not hot and the servers quickly brought hot ones. In seven days I saw one bucket catching a drip from a sprinkler head. The rooms were nice, well thermostatically controlled air, bathroom good size especially the shower. We love JiJis restaurant for omlets and lunch. My husband had good luck in the casino and shared with us all. We ate Guys burgers one afternoon and they were very good. I can not say enough good things about this ship, the crew, and our fabulous week.
There was one Canadian gentleman that we ran into at the elevator several times. He was on a back to back, always by himself and always complaining. One morning he was totally incensed that he had a letter left regarding the gratuitys being added to his bill. He was going to take care of that!!! It was a form letter that everyone received. Another time we were ten minutes late leaving Cozumel. He reported that he believed the ship was stuck in mud. The next time I saw him I suggested that he worried way too much. As we left the ship, we saw him again. He had no comment!!! Hope he enjoys his second one this week. We would love to sail this ship again. Less

|Document Boosts as floats
|Wed, 15 Dec 2004 20:46:23 GMT
I'm experimenting with Document boosts and I'm finding them effective for certain types of scoring enhancements. My concern is that because of the way they are stored (ie an encoded byte). There are not enough boost values to cover the typical boosting. I've written a custom Similarity function (ie extended Similarity by overriding encodeNorm and decodeNorm). However, that still limits me to 256 distinct boost factors. These 256 factors have to cover the full range of the combined effect of Document boosts, Field boosts and length norms in the default calculation. I'd be interested in at least an option to store these as floats. Any change requires changes to the file formats (either a new file or a new format for norm files (*.f??)). Has this been considered and rejected? Clearly, there would be additional memory consumption for an array of floats instead of bytes, but it seems like a small overall impact. Speed should not be affected as these are always converted to floats for use in the existing calculations. I hesitate to embark on a change that affects file formats so if folks have any suggestions on alternative approaches, I'm interested in hearing about them. Any suggestions for how to incorporate these and stay consistent with current Lucene design? Thanks, Dan

I've been seeing Kathy for years for treatment of my sinus issues. She has consistently demonstrated total professionalism and takes personal interest in my care. For example, when I had a strep infection in my sinuses years ago, Kathy took the time to call me at home for follow-up. She knew my case was serious based on my symptoms and called to inquire how I was feeling and asked if the medication was helping in order to gauge effectiveness. That single call and conversation convinced me that she was an extraordinary NP years ago. She continues to provide excellent care & treatment.

Are you saving enough for college?
Explore your options. Try different scenarios. Start now.
- Fidelity Viewpoints
- – 04/29/2016
Today they're learning to walk or tie their own shoes, tomorrow they'll be tackling calculus or coding in college. That's why starting to save for your children's education early can be so important—time will pass all too quickly.
Of course, nailing down a college savings goal can be challenging—education costs have been increasing at a rapid clip and the school and field of study you child chooses can ultimately impact the cost as well. Not to mention potential scholarships and financial aid.
You probably have a general idea of how much you'd like to save, but are your savings on track to get there? Don't worry: Once you've estimated how much you'll need to save, all it takes is a little math to figure out exactly what it will take to hit the mark. Here's how you do it.
Need some direction?
Here's a quick way to find out where you stand. Answer these three questions:
- What is your college savings goal—either monthly or in total?
- How many years remain until your child enters college?
- What annual rate of return are you aiming for on your investments?
Then use the calculator to the right to see if you're saving enough based on your personal situation. You can also use it to explore your options and try out different scenarios. You can even see how your monthly savings can grow year after year, and get an idea of how fast your investment returns may add up.
Simply enter your answers in the relevant sections. First, provide your monthly or yearly savings goal, followed by the number of years available for savings to grow, and then your estimate of an annual investment return. With regard to an annual investment return, the calculator uses hypothetical percentages ranging from 4% to 8%. Keep in mind that investing involves risk; the value of your investment will fluctuate over time and you may gain or lose money. More aggressive asset allocations have the potential for higher returns but may be riskier, while more conservatively allocated portfolios tend to fluctuate less in value. Learn more about investing options for college.
The calculator can also show results for two different scenarios to help you explore your options. For example, change the number of years you plan to contribute or increase your monthly contribution amount—whichever works best for you.
Starting early makes a difference
Starting early will make a difference, but it may surprise you to see how much. Consider what happens as you adjust your time frame in the calculator:1
- If you start saving at the birth of your child, at an estimated rate of return of 6%, you'll have to save only a little more than 50% of what you'll actually need. Investment earnings on your contributions make up the remaining 50%.
- However, if you start saving when your child turns five, you'll have to contribute about 66% of the amount required, and investment earnings will make up only about 34%.
- If you start saving when your child turns 15, you'll have to contribute about 92% of your savings, because your investments will have only three years to grow.
Let's look at three different scenarios.
#1: Start saving at kindergarten age.
Erika is five years old and has just entered kindergarten. Her family recently decided to start saving for her college education by contributing to a 529 college savings plan. Her father wants her to go to his alma mater, a private school, so he has set a goal of saving approximately $75,000 by the time Erika is ready to enter college. The family knows they'll have to make a few sacrifices, but education is important to them so they don't mind.
They plan to contribute $300 a month, that's $3,600 a year. After 13 years, their contributions will amount to $46,800. This is far less than the family's goal and won't be nearly enough to pay Erika's college costs. Fortunately, their investments will have years to grow. Erika's parents are investing with an aim to achieve about a 6% annual rate of return, which can potentially result in an additional $23,834 by the time Erika graduates from high school, for a total of $70,634.
#2: Start saving at birth.
Meet Andrew, a newborn whose parents have already opened a 529 college savings account for him. Just like Erika's parents, they plan to contribute $300 every month, which amounts to $3,600 every year. The difference is that they have 18 years to save instead of only 13. The total amount contributed to the account by the time Andrew graduates from high school would be $64,800.
Andrew's parents, like Erika's, plan to invest with an aim to achieve about a 6% annual rate of return. But they have 18 years for their savings to grow, so their investment return, using their assumption, would total about $51,406. When added to their contribution amount of $64,800, this results in a potential savings total of approximately $116,206 by the time Andrew goes to college. See the difference five years can make?
#3: Start saving $50 more.
Now let's suppose Andrew's family decides to save just $50 more every month. Use the calculator to see just how much that extra $50 will potentially grow by the time Andrew enters college at age 18.
If the family saved $350 a month instead of $300, this would add up to $4,200 a year. Over 18 years, they'd contribute $75,600. Assuming the same 6% rate of return, they'd earn $59,974 in interest over 18 years. So their combined contributions and earned interest would amount to about $135,574. That would give Andrew an additional $19,368 when he enters college. However, these goals may not be met if the rate of return is less than 6%.
Put time on your side.
As you can see, the amount you save and how early you start saving are two critically important factors in hitting your savings goal.
Start saving as early as possible by putting aside a set amount every month, no matter how little. It makes a bigger difference than you might think. That's because you're leveraging the potential power of compounding. Every year makes a difference—and time makes the biggest difference of all.

Top 10 Car Makes For Cheating Women
5. Mercedes: 6.6%
Apparently cheating women prefer the Mercedes-Benz moniker over its German rival BMW. Coming in at fifth place with 6.6 percent, Mercedes vehicles have always had a stronger female appeal, offering a more refined driving experience rather than the sporty one BMW offers. So men, if you're so inclined to get involved with a cheating woman, might as well find one with a Mercedes, right?

Expert Column: Adapting Shopper Marketing Practices to the Digital World
Exploring the tenets of a successful strategyBy Michael Harris, Match Marketing Group
I work in shopper marketing and I'm proud to do so. There, I've said it. Why? Well in addition to being fast-changing, unpredictable and an increasing part of the marketing mix, the really exciting part is that it's just getting going. Marketing stands atop digital quicksand -- especially shopper marketing -- and the ground is shifting and shifting fast.
Sadly too much of today's shopper marketing activity is conceived for the analog, pre-smartphone world. It's tactically driven and forcefully siloed into transactional channels and communications that value short-term volume growth. That's the way the marketing community and their agencies like it: neat and predictable. But, it's not how consumers behave. Nearly all shopper marketers use some form of a "Path 2 Purchase" model. Visually, some models look like funnels, some like cyclones or turbines but all fundamentally involve stages of awareness - most often advertising, content to fuel consideration, incentives to encourage action and prompts to drive post-purchase sharing. Personally I feel these models fail to acknowledge the seismic shift in consumer and shopper behavior wrought by changes in society, economics and most of all technology. What if the total Path 2 Purchase was three clicks: search, buy, ship, or even two: read tweet and buy?
Mobile Users on the Rise
The digitally connected shopper is already here (more than two-thirds of Americans had a smartphone last year, with similar percentages for Canada) and digital influence will only grow as Millennials become full-fledged shoppers and Gen Z, those born after 2004 and don't know a world without Facebook or Twitter, begin to enter the consumer marketplace.
Anyone who doubts the importance of our digital devices needs to do some quick math. There are already 7 billion mobile devices in use globally (more than one for every person on planet earth) and research from The Economist Intelligence Unit forecasts that this number will increase three-fold over the next 10 years. Also, according to a Morgan Stanley study, online and online-influenced packaged goods purchases are projected to grow from 36 percent of today's $5.0Trn market to almost 85 percent of a $6.2Trn market by 2019. And in case you're still on the fence, here's further evidence of the profound changes in shopper behaviour for your consideration:
- 31 percent of CPG decisions are influenced by mobile activity
- 79 percent already use their phone for shopping related activities
- 74 percent of shoppers made a purchase in-store as a result of mobile phone activity

The Death of The Screensaver: FOMO and the benefits of IRL.
No? Remember it now?
Where the flip has all the screen savers gone? I can't remember the last time I saw one for reals. Do they suffer the same fate as all the hair-grips and merely vanish from the face of the earth as soon as one's back is turned?
Somewhat irrationally, it spurred a sad realisation that plainly, there isn't the need for a screen saver in 2017. We're always switched on. So much so, our poor computers and phones are no longer granted the opportunity of a Sunday afternoon power nap.
Despite the occasional wistful idea I have of ditching technology completely in favour of returning to simpler analogue pursuits (who doesn't like an instax snap or a hand-written note), I'm not going to say that computers are wrecking society or any of that malarkey, because quite frankly, I don't believe it.
The Internet is SO GOOD.
We all know it really. We can learn about anything that we want to. We communicate all over the world daily, share interests and life stories, bonding with like-minded (and non-like-minded) individuals that we may have never realised shared the same planet as us.
Not only that, it allows us to create so much; to push ourselves and the world around us in to unmarked territory. It's a place that's constantly evolving because it allows us the space to expand our thoughts and creativity.
Despite all of that, I have found myself longing for more IRL ('in real life' time) and so, recently I have been trying to organise and say yes to more impromptu face-to-face meets - to talk more in that sphere, and most importantly, whilst there really listen.
I started before Christmas by deleting WhatsApp and OMG, why didn't I do that sooner?
Gone are the group messages and all the "must-reply" guilt that comes with it, plus the FOMO that binds us to our phones.
No longer do I feel the need to constantly interrupt real-life conversations or making myself dinner to speedily comment on the current group-chat topic before the conversation changes, or send a soulless "good thanks, you?" response to someone I love. Now I relish in the IRL plans, enjoying the catch up whilst finding out how people really feel… and it's blooming lovely.
In a time when we're constantly being pressed to feel the feels, I think it's also important to take the time to listen to all the feels that are being put out there. Something which I'm not confident I did the best I could have previously. I heard something recently that people don't remember words so much, particularly those written in haste on a smart phone. They remember real acts of kindness and that's what I'm striving for this year.
Even up until this week, I have been internally debating whether this whole notion is hypocritical if I still enjoy tapping away on twitter or sharing snapshots of my life on Instagram or even divulging thoughts on to this blog.
I hope not. These days we have the option of being present both online and offline; to say which lines of communication do or don't make us happy or fulfilled and it's that choice which we should embrace.
Will this laidback, easy-going persona that I'm currently entertaining last forever? Who knows, maybe not. Probably not. However, if there's one thing my twenties are teaching me is that it's okay to have fluctuating goals and stand points.
For me, at the time being, practising more kindness IRL is kinda cool.
Much love,
L x

The Anti-Bucket List...
It may sound bleak to some, but I honestly don't mind spending time on my own - for certain lengths of time, at least. Nevertheless, it is a complete brave-test, albeit a fun one.
I've caught a flight on my own before so I know that part will be fine, but there's always been someone to hang out with at the end of it and as much as I protest otherwise, my sense of direction in new territories leaves something to be desired.
I declared at the time of my excited "I've booked a trip" tweet that this was to be the beginning of my 'things to do before 30' bucket list.
Not the approaching 30 part; the final year and a half of my twenties does indeed loom before me, but the the truth is, I don't have a bucket list...
52 Lists Project for Christmas, which excited me greatly.
Yet, the thought of cataloguing and navigating my way though ALL OF THE THINGS I feel I should achieve before I'm 30 seems completely tiresome and such a recipe for guilt. I'd much prefer to simply enjoy the day-to-day.
Besides, don't we all manage to do a plethora of fun, new things without having to put ourselves under necessary pressure.
For that reason, I've decided to leave the deadlines in the work place and instead draw up an Anti-Bucket List, a manifesto of the things that I'll (probably) never do...
1. Wake Up Chipper – Whilst I'm not the absolute worst in the morning and I'm rarely late for anything, I'm never exactly exhibiting a huge grin when my alarms goes off at half 6, quarter to 7 and 7 o'clock each working day (yup, I'm a snoozer) and a borderline-black brew is required to breathe some life in to me each morning. Why aren't we allowed to wake up with our bodies' natural alarm clocks?
2. Turn Down Salted Popcorn – Thou shall never turn down a snaffle of the best snack in town.
3. Talk Louder – I'm a low talker which I understand may be annoying for some, however my thoughts and ideas are big, so deal.
4. Do A Slow Walk – Saving all my energy on the talking front means that I can put all my gusto in to walking real fast. I will always look like I'm about to attend some serious business, even when meandering aimlessly. A fast walk whenever necessary (and also when not necessary).
5. Diss A Fellow Ginger – I don't even mean in a normal anti-bullying-just-being-a-normal-kind-person way. When it comes to fellow gingers, they may have just been mean to you but we're kind of in this special club and that means we stick together. Likewise, I know the double-ginger dating rule is always a much-debated one but Domhnall Gleeson is BEAUTIFUL...
7. Fully Understand What Is Going On In Outer Space – I remain curious. I listen to Brian Cox. I love looking at the moon. Nevertheless, 2001: A Space Odyssey gives me actual anxiety and I have a feeling I would feel claustrophobic in a space suit.
8. Be An Eye-Liner Guru - It doesn't seem to matter that I've been wearing eye liner since the age of 14, or that looking at images of Francoise Hardy's perfectly lined eyes is pretty much part of my daily routine; me and eyeliner just do not mix. If putting on makeup was actual art and Da Vinci is the end goal, my attempts are Jackson Pollack and I'm residing myself to the fact that it's just the way it's always going to be.
9. Throw Away Books - I'm as ruthless as you like with most things (particularly since watching the Minimalism documentary on Netflix) but a serial hoarder when it comes to books. I just can't seem to throw one away because "What if I really want to read it!" and I find it SERIOUSLY satisfying to display piles of books around the house by theme and spine colour.
10. Truly Know What It Means To "Engage My Core" – Pilates is my favourite, but can I honestly say I know the difference between an engaged core and a slightly bloated carb belly? Nope.
So, who's joining me and saying goodbye to the guilt-trip list and replacing with a 'THIS IS ME' list?
Much love,
L x

Rain On Me!
Previously, if I were to choose a raincoat I would have went for something my five-year-old self would have been proud off. Most definitely shiny, possibly with hooded cat ears, a coat that said, "Hah, I don't really care about good old, functional practicality, I LIKE FUN CLOTHES but I am here at this festival and this rain is a bit annoying."
An earlier example is the completely see-through plastic monstrosity that I bought from ebay, ahead of a particularly drizzly festival. My thinking is that it would still allow me to showcase the sparkly jumpsuit I planned to wear underneath.
As you can imagine, it was SO horrendously plastic and the weather was so annoyingly humid that together it forged some kind of a weird air vortex, which felt like I was trying to vacuum-pack my own skin.
Since then I have been trying to become much more of a grown up with my sartorial choices. I say trying; there's no try involved I BLOOMING love it. Cosy jumpers, extra layers, straight-leg trouser, comfortable shoes and recently, a sensible, breathable raincoat for the unexpected showers.
After a little scout around, I picked up this beautiful green one from ASOS Men's. Top tip: ASOS Men's size range is really good and they've got some amazing pieces if you are into borrowing from the boys, like me.
It wasn't too pricey, is crafted from that really nice soft matte rubber-effect fabric that's so comfortable to wear and really breathable – so you don't get that icky, raincoat sweat if it's warm out.
I'm rather looking forward to the April showers this year! If you wanna know what it looks like on, here's a silly little video James put together from our trip to the Lake District :) ...
Much love,
L x

Alright. Lately I've been getting a lot of sassy tinas and spammers and stuff showing up and spreading shit about me or vandalizing my stuff.
If none of you caught the thing that happened last night, there were two anons who created pages saying "MISTERYEEVEE STINKS" and then created a thread about the same thing. They replaced my text with nonsense on my profile area. I reported them, obviously and they got blocked
And then today, someone, particularly a certain IP that Momo and I dealt with several times and is known to spam, added to my talk page about stupid chain mail "My name is Kylie" and how she's dead and if you don't blah blah blah you'll die and stuff like that.
And I also had a few profile vandals a few months ago and this/last week.
What am I even doing to these people, I'm wondering? :U

To talk to my crush on the mobile, once every two weeks? I won't see him until August and I really fancy him.
Most Helpful Girl
Play it by Ear here, dear. When you call him, let him call you back and when he does... Reciprocate.
However, if he doesn't make an effort on His own end, then 'Once every two weeks' is fine so he knows you are still around.
Good luck. xx00|00|0
he never does

lol... Okay, sweetie, and who knows... maybe after August, you could begin a new beguine of Talking to him see where that Goes. xx
Thank you, sweetie, for allowing me to lend a helping hand with the man.. Enjoy the rest of your summer.:)) xxoo

He is portrayed by Guy Pearce
After curing himself of his disability by using a dose of his own Extremis virus, he orchestrated many terrorist attacks as part of his experiments, while creating a false Mandarin person through the use of an actor, to mask his illegal activities. He orchestrates the attack at Tony's home, kidnapping Pepper Potts afterwards. Having Pepper Potts as his "trophy" and hostage, he injected her with the Extremis virus to further motivate and antagonize Tony.
After his men had abducted President Ellis, Killian had planned to orchestrate a live feed showing the murder of Ellis, only for Tony Stark and James Rhodes to interrupt and attack their base with the help of Tony's J.A.R.V.I.S.-controlled Iron Man suits. In the ensuing battle, Tony finally finds Pepper, only for her to be trapped under debris. Before he is able to rescue her, an angry Killian attacks Tony with Tony distracting Killian to rescue Pepper.
While Pepper seemingly dies after falling to her apparent death, Killian approaches Tony for a one-on-one battle. The two engage in a brutal and epic final fight with Tony switching between various Iron Man suits as Killian destroys each one after another. As Tony was unable to attach any more extra armor onto himself, JARVIS sent the Mark 42 prototype to aid Tony in his battle. Tony then kinetically attached the armor onto Killian to stall his movements. Tony then activated the Mark 42's self-destruct function attempting to destroy Killian in the process.
After the complex in which the two were fighting was demolished, the battered Tony is confronted by Killian who is shown as surviving the explosion due to the Extremis virus that he created and took. Approaching Tony, he elaborates upon the revelation that he is the real Mandarin and that the two should stop "wearing masks" to hide their identities. Just before he is able to attack Tony, Pepper attacks him from behind, having survived her fall with the help of her new found Extremis abilities. Just before Killian is able to retaliate, Pepper rips an arm from one of the stray Iron Man suits, attaching it to her herself and utilizing its capabilities to finally kill Killian for good.

'Singham Returns' and 'Mardaani' are two forthcoming films that have more similarities than one. With having Rani Mukerji and Ajay Devgn playing the role of a cop in their respective films, it is difficult not to compare the two. Rani however disagrees with this as she says, "He (Ajay) is a huge star and the film is a huge franchise. I have seen Singham and I loved it.†She also added, "Ours is a very small film and it's a small effort for all women. Mardaani should not be compared to Singham Returns, which is a huge film." Responding to reports that tell us Kareena Kapoor expressed her desire to play the role of a cop onscreen; Rani says she would make a fantastic cop on the big screen.
While Mardani is scheduled for release on the 22nd of August, Singham Returns will release on the 15th of August.

Nivin Pauly and Vineeth Srenivasan, the popular actor-director duo is all set to join hands for a new project. As per the latest reports, Nivin Pauly will play the lead role in Vineeth Sreenivasan's next directorial venture.
Vineeth Sreenivasan introduced Nivin Pauly into the movie industry, through his debut directorial venture, Malarvadi Arts Club. The duo later worked together for the popular movie Thattathin Marayathu.
As actors, Nivin Pauly and Vineeth Sreenivasan have worked together for the blockbuster movies Om Shanti Oshana directed by Jude Anthany Joseph and Oru Vadakkan Selfie, which is penned Vineeth himself and directed by G Prajith.
Sources suggest that the upcoming Vineeth Sreenivasan movie will be a complete family entertainer; unlike his earlier directorial ventures, which were youth-oriented flicks. Vineeth is planning to start the scripting from July.
The young filmmaker is also planning to kick start his project Thira 2, which is the sequel of his earlier directorial venture Thira. The movie will have veteran actress Shobana and a popular young actor of Malayalam cinema in the lead roles.
Nivin Pauly, on the other hand, is all set to release his latest flick Premam, directed by Alphonse Putharen. The actor is currently filming for Shyamaprasad directed crime thriller Ivide, which also stars Prithviraj and Bhavana.

El papel del cooperativismo en el turismo rural de la Comunidad Valenciana

- Disciplines
This study considers rural tourism an activity that is playing an important role in the local development of many inland shires, with notable future potential both as a means of complementing agricultural income and as a way to create employment in disadvantaged inland areas. The co-operative philosophy is presented as ideal for getting these activities underway; whether under the agricultural co-operative format –already widely known in rural areas-; or in the form of associated work co-operatives or community land exploitation. The article shows the experiences in this field and this business format in the Valencia Autonomous Region, explaining the main defining features.

Sailing Lightboats
An enchanting spectacle: small, illuminated boats finding their way across the dark water. Taking your wishes and thoughts away in the flow. Write your wish/text along the railing and then fold the boat in just a few minutes. And should you not be able to fish them out of the water after use: the boats are fully degradable in nature within 6 months. In comparison: normal balloons take 20 years to do the same! We do advise the use of beeswax tea-light candles, without aluminium cups. A great birthday gift!
Rite of passage, lightboats, set of 3. Measurements of each boat: unfolded 26 cm x 16,5 cm = 10 x 6.5 inches. Children should never use the boats near water or with a candle without supervision.
Strong paper made in Holland and completely eco-friendly. The paper carries the FSC-logo, and is acid- and chlorine-free. The Vega-Fast ink is a Dutch developed printing ink based on vegetable oils. The plastic-looking bags are actually made from cornflour and are bio-degradable. The boats are fully degradable in nature within 6 months.

Every year, the Oxford tennis teams have the enviable opportunity to travel on tour to amazing locations during the Easter Vacation. The tour provides invaluable preparation for the Varsity Match in Trinity term as it involves vital training and matches, both singles and doubles, against local clubs and universities. The tour also cements a strong team spirit, another essential ingredient going into the Varsity Match, as the team bonds on and off the court.
The trips are always unforgettable and offer the teams an insight into different cultures and styles of play. In recent years, players have been lucky enough to be able to travel to the likes of Australia, South Africa, Thailand, Florida, Peru, Spain and Germany. Most recently, in 2015 the Men's and Women's Blues Teams travelled to the United States, where they trained and played a series of friendlies against local clubs in Florida. Last year, the Men's Seconds and Thirds also embarked on a tour to Alicante in Spain where they trained for 4 hours a day with the former professional tennis player Christophe Rochus at Las Colinas resort.
The club provides the teams with as much funding as possible to finance such trips. In addition to this, the club has been fortunate enough to secure tour funding from a series of generous companies and individuals for which we are immensely grateful. We hope that these tours can continue for many years to come as they offer experiences that will last a lifetime.

I found my way into the recording industry in London in the early to mid 1990s. I am in possibly the last generation to cut their teeth on 2" tape. I was lucky enough to learn on the job assisting some fantastic producers and engineers. I have a strong musical skill set and have spent time on both sides of the glass.
My Studio is primarily designed for the creation of music,meaning that I have a (nice) drum kit always set and mic ed up in the live room,and a guitar amp room tie lined into the control room with a nice amp selection always ready to go. I also have a great sample library and some choice soft synths.
I believe in capturing big warm tones so I have a valve and ribbon mics as well as valve and transformer based preamps. When mixing I use analogue summing as I feel that the separation and detail is far superior to ITB. I do like the recall of DAW mixes though, so that is why I use a Summing unit rather than a mixing desk. I have a decent set of plug ins including UAD,Sonnox,Abbey Road,Lexicon and more. I am also a multi instrumental session player (drums,bass,gtr) and a versatile programer

|Does servlet mapping work in Tomcat 3.1?
|Wed, 22 Nov 2000 21:35:42 GMT
Hi All, I am trying to get servlet mapping to work in my web app. I have tried the various examples given in the docs and it still doesn't work. I have seen some other queries about this in the archives but no responses. Clearly the docs indicate that Tomcat is supposed to support servlet mapping. Does anyone know if this is working? Here's what I want to do: I want this URI: http://host:8080/myApp/MyMap to invoke my servlet named login. I have this context set up in server.xml: <Context path="/myApp" docBase="C:\MyApp" debug="0" reloadable="false" > </Context> In my Apps web.xml file I have: <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>Login</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/MyMap</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> <servlet> <servlet-name>Login</servlet-name> <servlet-class>Login</servlet-class> </servlet> I CAN access the servlet directly by http://host:8080/myApp/servlet/Login but not by http://host:8080/myApp/MyMap What am I doing wrong? I'm using tomcat 3.1 latest stable release on Win NT 4.0. Thanks in advance, Toby

Bond Pricing when the Short-Term Interest Rate Follows a Threshold Process
- Authors
- Publisher
- Vereinigtes Königreich
- Publication Date
- Source
- Legacy
- Keywords
- Disciplines
This paper derives analytical solutions for arbitrage-free bond yields when the short-term interest rate follows an autoregressive process with the intercept switching endogenously. This process from the SETAR family is especially suited to capture the near-unit-root behavior typically observed in the evolution of short-term interest rates. The derived yield functions, mapping the one-month rate into n-period yields, exhibit a convex/concave shape to the left and the right of the threshold value, respectively; a pattern which is also found in US bond yield data. The longer the time to maturity, the more distinct the nonlinearity of the yield function becomes.
