2018 Submarine
Well shipmates, you know the drill. Limited print run. Get yours
early or do without!
This year's theme is Squadrons of the Pacific Fleet!
For those who have experienced it, the
camaraderie and esprit de corps of the Submarine Force remain indelibly
ingrained in us. In no other branch of military service are these terms given
such full meaning as in the Submarine Force. While often unrecognized by
outsiders, each man in a submarine crew knows
is dependent upon the skill of every other man in the crew, not simply for top
performance but for the very survival of himself and his ship.
It is no exaggeration to say that a submariner's
life depends on his shipmates and theirs on him. Because of this, there is a
unique bond among us. As submariners we are blessed with a special feeling of
brotherhood and pride because we are indeed a member of an elite corps.
It is a test of a man's strength, intelligence,
and prowess to qualify for this highly selective service and it is
impossible for him to forget the pride of submarine qualification - that initial
and hard won acceptance into the fraternity of underwater warriors.
The challenges and adventures of serving in the
Submarine Force often pushed your limits and tested your perseverance. You
deserve to be recognized, to show the world that you're a proud member of an
elite and select fighting force!
We here
at the Sub Vet Store are committed to delivering your submarine pride gear
the way you want it. We specialize in unique products and consider your ability
to customize them paramount to our success.
We conduct business very simply here at the Sub
Vet Store. No gotchas. No oh-by-the-ways. No fine print to read. Ever. We

we promise to maintain a no questions asked policy of 100% customer
satisfaction. If you are dissatisfied with any purchase for any reason,
simply return it to us for a full 100% refund of the purchase price.
This country can be proud and grateful that so
many of its sons cared enough for the welfare of their country to volunteer
to protect her. Grateful for the courage of men who have endured the rigors
known only to those who have plied the depths in underwater war machines.

My View of the App Store BusinessMobile Devices Thoughts Trends
David Barnard, creator of apps such as Gas Cubby, wrote this excellent piece yesterday which summarizes my thoughts on the "App industry" fairly well:
"The pool of time users spend on smartphones is staggering and growing rapidly, but it is not infinite. The more time people spend with useful/entertaining free apps, the less need they have to actually pay for apps. That doesn't mean people will never pay for apps — the market for paid apps has continued to grow alongside free and freemium apps — but users have been conditioned to expect more and more for less and less."
My view is that most iPhone users today have dozens, maybe hundreds of games and other apps they have paid for over the years (my experience is that Android users don't yet seem to be as likely to pay for apps). Looking at my own iPhone 4S I have dozens of high quality mobile games installed that I have not even started once. Getting people such as myself to pay for mobile games, where they already have dozens or hundreds of games installed, is getting increasingly difficult.
It seems that the App Store business have taken two distinct paths:
1. Paid apps primarily purchased by new mobile users. As an example, on Christmas day 2011 6.5 million copies of Angry Birds were downloaded, compared to 6.8 million iOS + Android activations on the same day. Nearly all new iPhone & Android users got a copy of Angry Birds. This explains why the same titles continue to stay in the Top-25 lists, month after month.
The key to succeed in the "Paid apps" business is massive marketing (either directly or through a publisher) so your app or game is one of the first dozen apps new users download after they have bought their new device. There are few exceptions to this, mostly from games such as Angry Birds and Cut the Rope that have been on the top lists for years and have been mentioned in both TV and print media.
2. Free apps with in-app purchasing. If a game differs enough from the dozens (or hundreds) of games most people have installed on their smartphones, people might be intrigued to download it if it's free. If they are hooked and enjoy it, they might even be inclined to pay through in-app purchases. Some people will never spend a single dollar on an app, but they might spread the word, so the loss in revenue from that single user might be compensated by having their friends download the app and pay through in-app purchases.
The key to succeed in this business is to have an interesting enough game or app that differentiates from all other free games or apps, and have appealing in-app purchases that increase game value. If the game or app is not something people want to show to or talk to with others, it's probably not something people want to download, even for free.
Of course it is still possible to develop and launch a paid app or game that is successful, that even people who have owned a smartphone for a few years will pay for. Examples include games such as Tiny Wings, Tintin & Infinity Blade 2. The criteria of succeeding with that however is becoming increasingly difficult. One example is Fruit Ninja: Puss in Boots for Android. An excellent game that only just passed 10 000 paid downloads on Android Market, earning the developer something around $7000. The game is great, but very few people are paying for it. I believe this is because new users are not aware of it, and current users have enough installed games to care about it.
For independent developers, such as David Barnard, succeeding financially (whatever that means) in the App Store is proving to be increasingly difficult. With prices approaching zero for apps and games, only those apps that reach mass market global volumes have a chance of going break even with their projects. If your app is not following one of the above two paths, you might want to re-think your app strategy.

Roma owner Thomas Di Benedetto has apparently backed Francesco Totti ahead of Coach Luis Enrique. "We need him on the pitch."
There is tension in the Giallorossi camp after Totti was only fielded for the final 15 minutes of a 1-0 Europa League defeat to Slovan Bratislava.
"Totti is an extraordinary player, the greatest of the last 50 years," American investor Di Benedetto told the Corriere dello Sport.
"He is already part of Roma's history and is a fundamental element for us. Above all, we need him on the pitch."
It is a clear message to Enrique, who benched the captain for the first official game of the season.
Roma must now overturn that 1-0 first leg defeat or be left out of Europe.
"We are tracking several players, but this result certainly won't modify our transfer strategy. Unfortunately we have to move within certain limits and this affects our reinforcement campaign.
"I spoke to the team before the Slovan game, but that is not my job. I have a lot of faith in director Walter Sabatini and Coach Enrique. It is their duty to talk to the players."

STOCKHOLM, March 24 (Reuters) - World number two truck maker Volvo said on Wednesday shipments of its trucks rose 11 percent year-on-year in February as firmer demand in Asia helped offset lingering weakness on both sides of the Atlantic.

This is a good article on spring pruning, enjoy!
From Canadian Gardening
ByTrevor Cole, illustration by Cindy Revell
Spring is the time to prune woody plants to remove damaged or diseased branches, to rejuvenate old shrubs to promote flowering or improve their shape, or to ensure safety. Yet pruning is a task that daunts gardeners because they're afraid of making a mistake. Take heart. You're unlikely to kill the plant, and any bad errors should eventually disappear as it grows.
In fact, pruning stimulates growth. When you cut back a shoot, you cause buds on the remaining part of the branch to break into growth. Note, however, that a characteristic known as apical dominance causes the topmost buds to grow the fastest and the longest. This is useful if, for example, there is a hole in a tree, shrub or hedge that you want to fill. By pruning surrounding branches back to a bud pointing toward the hole, you can encourage growth into the empty area.
Bush whack
Shrubs that bloom in spring and early summer should be pruned shortly after they flower. Some species grow slowly and only need to be pruned occasionally, but if they're overgrown, now is the best time to shape them. Shrubs that bloom later, in summer or fall, normally flower on the new season's growth and should be pruned in spring to promote a vigorous crop of new shoots (thus encouraging abundant flowering).
Prune certain shrubs (list provided below) before their buds break in early spring. Names marked with an asterisk should be cut back hard; for the rest, simply remove the oldest branches as needed.
Shrubs such as yellow-twigged and red osier dogwoods (Cornus alba and C. sericea) and 'Flame' willow (Salix 'Flame'), which are all grown for their brightly coloured bark, should be cut back hard every two or three years, since their new growth has the brightest colour. Treat yellow-leafed elderberries, such as 'Sutherland Gold' (Sambucus racemosa 'Sutherland Gold') in the same way.
Shrubs you can prune worry-free
- Japanese angelica tree (Aralia elata)
- Butterfly bush (Buddleja davidii)*
- Bluebeard (Caryopteris x clandonensis cvs.)*
- Bush honeysuckle (Diervilla spp.)*
- Common witch hazel (Hamamelis virginiana)
- Rose of Sharon (Hibiscus syriacus)*
- Annabelle hydrangea (Hydrangea arborescens 'Annabelle')*
- PeeGee hydrangea (H. paniculata 'Grandiflora')*
- St. John's wort (Hypericum spp.)
- Potentilla (Potentilla fruticosa)
- Ural false spirea (Sorbaria sorbifolia)*
- Spirea (Spiraea—most species and hybrids)
- Snowberry (Symphoricarpos albus var. laevigatus)
- Five stamen tamarisk (Tamarix ramosissima)*

Our site. Occupying the southeast corner of Williams Hall on Ithaca College's campus, the Ithaca College Permaculture Garden is more than just "another pretty face."
Instead, the garden marries aesthetics with food production and models approaches for carbon sequestration, water conservation, and valuing ecosystem services.
The Future of the Garden. In the future, there are many plans for research in the garden, as well as developing a "business case," or economic rationale, for incorporating Permaculture on college and university campuses.

Portrait: Daniel D. Frisbie
[View enlarged]
Daniel D. Frisbie, editor and proprietor of the Schoharie Republican, was born in Middleburg, his present home, on November 30, 1859. Son of Grandison Norton and Kate (Dodge) Frisbie, he is the representative of a family that has done much to promote the industrial, educational, and political advancement of this county. The family traces its line back to New England ancestry, and two of its early members in this country bore officers' commissions and served with distinction in the Continental army during the Revolution. A biographical sketch of Grandison Norton Frisbie appears on another page of this volume.
The Dodge family were among the early settlers of the county, coming from New England and becoming allied by marriage with the good old Dutch stock, of which Colonel Zelie, of Revolutionary fame, was the best early representative, and the Hon. Daniel Danforth Dodge, grandfather of the subject of this sketch, was later the most prominent, having represented this county in the State legislature and attained the greatest success as a merchant and financier.
Daniel D. Frisbie was educated in the schools of his native town and at Hartwick Seminary, one of the oldest seats of learning in the State. At the latter institution he laid the foundation of a thorough, broad, and liberal education, developing marked literary tastes, which in after years found opportunity in journalism for employment. In the Philophronean Society, of which he became president, were brought out an aptitude for debate and the qualities which have since made him an easy, graceful, and forceful public speaker.
On the completion of his course at the seminary, he entered actively upon a business career which has proved singularly successful. He accepted a clerkship in the store of his father in the spring of 1876, and continued in that capacity until 1881, when he was admitted to partnership. Later the firm became G. N. Frisbie & Sons by the admission of his brother. In 1892 the senior retired, and the firm became D. D. & G. D. Frisbie, continuing thus until April 1, 1899, when a multiplicity of business cares lead the subject of this sketch to retire in favor of his brother-in-law, Nathaniel Manning, Jr. During the twenty-three years of his connection with the business he had the satisfaction of seeing the modest country store develop into a modern department store, the largest, perhaps, in the county in point of sales and stock carried, and widely known for its exact and honorable methods.
Believing that it is the duty of every citizen to take an intelligent interest in public affairs, Mr. Frisbie, within a year after attaining his majority, was made president of the local Democratic Club in the fall of 1882, and again in 1884, when Mr. Cleveland carried New York and won the Presidency for his party. It is worthy of remark that the town of Middleburg in those years rolled up the largest Democratic majorities in a decade. In 1886-87 he was a member and treasurer of the Democratic County Committee, rendering valuable service. For several years he has served as chairman of the Town Committee of his party. Mr. Frisbie has never held a political office, but his services in behalf of the Democratic party have been so conspicuous for so many years that he has been prominently mentioned for member of Assembly; and, if merit meets with due reward in old Schoharie, he will soon be thus honored.
Seeking a wider opportunity for the advocacy of his political principles and for the exercise of literary tastes, he purchased, August, 1887, the Schoharie Republican, of the estate of A. A. Hunt. The paper was established in 1819 by Derrick Van Vechten, and is probably the second oldest in the State. In January, 1896, its size was enlarged, and its circulation has increased threefold under the present management. Its columns are rich with the best reading of the day, and its hop reports are regarded as thoroughly reliable and comprehensive. As an advertising medium it unquestionably takes the lead, as its circulation is principally among the large purchasing classes of the Schoharie valley. Politically, the Republican is soundly and unequivocally Democratic. It was established as a Democratic organ, and has always been true to its first principles. Its editorials are often quoted in the leading papers of the State, and it is regarded as in every way the equal of the best county-seat papers to be found in the Commonwealth. In 1894 the seventy-fifth anniversary of its founding was celebrated; and upon that occasion Mr. Frisbie purchased the three-story block in the central part of Schoharie, and made it the permanent home of the paper. The editorial offices are on the first floor, as are also the mechanical and job printing departments. The composing-rooms are on the second floor.
The esteem in which Mr. Frisbie is held by his brethren of the press is shown by his election in 1898 as second vice-president of the Democratic State Editorial Association. He is also a member of the State Editorial Association, a non-partisan organization.
In recognition of his interest in the cause of education, Mr. Frisbie was in 1893 appointed treasurer of Middleburg High School, and was reappointed for a second term. In 1895 he was elected a member of the Board of Education, and re-elected in 1898. Since September, 1897, he has been president of the board. In concert with his associates, the school has been advanced to a proud position among the educational institutions of the State, its finances strengthened, and the number of its students increased.
In 1894, when the business men and farmers of the interior counties felt severely the exactions of the stock fire insurance companies, Mr. Frisbie assisted, with others interested, in the formation of the Mutual Fire Insurance Company, became one of its directors and a member of its Executive Committee. In 1897 the necessity arose for another company in this county, and the Merchants' and Farmers' Mutual Fire Insurance Company was organized, with Daniel D. Frisbie as president. The company during its two years' existence has saved thousands of dollars to its policy holders, and has accumulated a substantial surplus. In time it promises to become one of the strongest institutions of the county.
Mr. Frisbie is a director of the Middleburg & Schoharie Railroad Company, and since 1894 has been its secretary and a member of its Finance Committee. He is identified with St. Mark's Lutheran Church, was for five years superintendent of its Sunday-school, and is at present its financial secretary. Of fraternal orders he is a member of Middleburg Lodge, No. 663, F. & A. M.; and is also a Past Sachem of Oucongena Tribe, I. O. R. M., No. 242. He is also president of the Columbian Literary Union Association, which was an inspiration to young men in Middleburg for many years, and holds its reunion, January 1, 1900. He is a hop-grower, and has done much, through his paper and otherwise, to advance the interests of the growers of the county.
The latest enterprise to engage the attention of the subject of this sketch, and one that he hopes to utilize largely for the public good, is the mills and water privilege located midway between Middleburg and Schoharie, which he acquired April 1, 1899. The mills are being improved by the addition of modern machinery, and their capacity greatly increased. Under the Frisbie Milling Company the business will be extended, and a good market afforded farmers for their grain. Mr. Frisbie also has in mind the establishment of an electric plant, to be operated by water power, whereby the people of Middleburg and Schoharie may have the benefit in their business places, streets, and homes of that great modern convenience, electric lights. Should this be accomplished, a great public service will be placed to the credit of the subject of this sketch.
Mr. Frisbie was married in 1882 to Eleanor Manning, third daughter of Nathaniel Manning, Esq., a leading citizen of Middleburg, who traces his ancestry back to Governor Bradford, first Plymouth colony, who came over in the "Mayflower." The family was among the earliest in the county, and has held an honorable place in its annals. Mr. and Mrs. Frisbie are the parents of three children — G. Norton, Cornelia M., and Daniel Manning.

American Red Cross Blood Supply Slowly Improving; More Donors Needed In August
Just three additional blood donors at each blood drive could boost supply
Norfolk, VA (August 8, 2012)– The American Red Cross is encouraged by a boost in donations since the organization issued an emergency appeal for blood donors. However, additional donations are needed to ensure an adequate supply is available through the end of the summer.
"We are humbled by the generosity of the many blood donors in Virginia and North Carolina who responded to our appeal, helping to save lives," said Page Gambill, CEO of the Mid-Atlantic Blood Services Region. "The Red Cross is so appreciative for each and every selfless act of giving. Our blood donors truly do this out of the goodness of their hearts."
Across the country, nearly 15,000 donations have been given above expectations since the Red Cross first issued its appeal, cutting the blood donation deficit by approximately 30 percent to date. To keep up the momentum, the organization encourages anyone who has not yet given blood this summer to schedule an appointment and bring just two friends or family members along with them.
Although the number of blood donations has increased, the situation remains tenuous and more donors are needed in the coming weeks. If at least three additional people give at each blood drive through the end of August – above what the Red Cross already expects to collect – there would be enough blood on the shelves to meet patient needs through the end of the summer.
Donors of all blood types are needed, but eligible donors with blood type O negative, O positive, A negative or B negative are especially encouraged to give at this time. Anyone who gave blood at the start of summer may be eligible to donate again as summer comes to a close.

Bishop Dealt
According to TSN, the St. Louis Blues have dealt their young gun goaltender Ben Bishop to the Ottawa Senators, in exchange for a second round pick in the 2013 NHL draft.
Bishop, who is currently playing for the Blues AHL affiliate Peoria Rivermen, has put up 24 wins in 38 games played, including 6 shutouts. He also was named the MVP of the AHL all star game this year.
Considered one of the best young goalies not playing in the NHL, Bishop was in a sticky situation in St. Louis. With the signing of both Halak and Elliot for two more years, Bishop needed to play in 17 games this year for the big club for at least 30 minutes, or else he would become an unrestricted free agent.
With that, Ben Bishop of the St. Louis Blues has been traded to the Ottawa Senators.
The Blues managed to get a draft pick for a goalie that has unfortunately been squeezed out and the Senators will have a goalie to play while Anderson is out with an injury, assuming they go that route and make him their starter. Either way, the Blues got something when nothing would have been received in the off season, and the Senators got a stud goalie prospect. Fair trade.
* Once the trade was completed, the Senators also signed Bishop to a one year, one way deal that will entireally take out the chance that he will become an UFA at seasons end. The deal locks him up as a Senator through the 2012-13 season.

Blues are lucky to get anything for them, and like you said the Sens get a stud. Good trade. Wonder why Philly or Toronto weren't in on this.

Bay Area Street Portraits: Sal
[Editor's Note: This series comes to us from Charlotte Buchen of StreetsblogSF and chronicles residents in the Bay Area and the role transportation plays in their lives. This is the second in the series.]
Sal Bednarz believes in creating community, so when he opened a new café in his beloved neighborhood in Oakland, he gave it bike-friendly features. But Sal's not trying to make a statement – he just thinks bike parking should come standard.
Sal: [0:17] I opened a cafe four blocks from my house, and I did that because I thought it was really important to build something that really is about my neighborhood. [0:30] I don't think that anything I am doing is all that revolutionary, but a lot of other people seem to think it is. You know, I think that it should be normal that there should be bike parking.
[0:46] I am Sal. I live in Oakland, in a really great neighborhood full of interesting people. It is the people in this town that I really, really love. A lot of creative people; a lot of just strange people. I felt like I really fit in for the first time in my life.
[1:10] I spent a lot of time in coffee shops for the first... I don't know how many years I lived here, like a lot of time. I met most of the people that I am still connected to today. I met them in places like that. As you know, there was this huge dot com boom.
[1:25] The local economy that sort of fostered those interactions completely dissolved.
[1:32] Large chains came in and replaced the local mom and pops. I was considering leaving, but I didn't really want to leave. I wanted to make it better.
[1:45] People pay a lot of attention to the bike features of the cafe. I think that is a symptom of bikes not being well integrated into the world that we live today. One of the things that I really like about cycling is that it slows us down a little bit and it makes us see the landscape in a different way.
[2:06] One of my favorite things to do is ride my bike through the city at night, in the dark. Everything is lit up inside, and it is dark outside. It is when you can see into everybody's little worlds.
[2:32] Since I opened the cafe, most of my cycling these days is riding around on the extra cycle, running errands and picking things up. We need to find ways to integrate bicycles into the world in sort of a normal way. Have bike lanes, have safe streets to ride on, have accessible ways to park, and use them.
[3:06] The cafe is really important to me, as just a sort of gathering place for this neighborhood, and bicycles aside. I want people to come there and feel comfortable, and be able to get a nice bite to eat, and a good cup of coffee and just relax...
[3:22] The blood oranges are really sweet right now, because it is their late season, so it has got a little kick to it. Do you like that? Do you guys want to try some orange juice?
Woman 1: [3:30] Oh sure! This is orange juice?
Sal: [3:31] I have really great customers, and they are from this neighborhood, and that is exactly what I wanted.

Early screenshots of what is being reported as Microsoft's Windows App Store, for Windows 8, have appeared online and they are truly underwhelming.
If the shots are to be believed, and we stress that perhaps they shouldn't, Redmond has plumped for the same dull-as-dishwater scheme that doesn't entice you to use built in Windows features.
Hold on a tic. App store? My apps? Isn't this just your installed software laid out in one catch-all page – where you can buy stuff too?
It surely couldn't be. Apps aren't software. They're apps. Apps are for exciting people. They're 25th century and they're not software. Apps apps apps apps apps.
Head on over to CNet to see some screenshots it pilfered from sister site ZDNet.
Again, and we have to stress that apps doesn't mean software, it's something different altogether – you can see apps such as Internet Explorer, Chess, Opera and Office. They're apps.
Then again the screenshots could be totally forged but there has been talk of Microsoft desperate to get a store out since the Mac App store launched this year.

"We are completely happy with the job that all the guys did. We are definitely big fans of John Darby Landscape!"
"John Darby and crew did a great landscaping job for me. Extensive planting on large berm and hillside area. Healthy plants, perfectly placed. Careful and considerate. On time from beginning to end. Competitive price. Guaranteed work. Followed up to confirm satisfaction. For future work, will definitely call John Darby Landscape, Inc."
"When we bought our home in Tigard last winter I wanted my "dream" yard. I met with John Darby and he set to work developing a plan for me. I can't find the words to recommend him highly enough. I'd be happy to have anyone interested in working with John take a walk through our yard with him or me."
"Because of your nice design, the quality of the installation crew's work, and the superior landscape materials, the finished project far exceeded our expectations."

combination of ANSI SQL-99 syntax coupled with some company-specific extensions. Performance of queries is important to both the company's management and its customers. It has a team of 20 developers who are considered experts in the data warehouse. What is the optimal architecture to use when accessing the data warehouse?
Session beans using ORM
Session beans using a JDBC connection pool
Session beans using EJB 2.x CMP entity beans
Session beans using EJB 2.x BMP entity beans with JPA
You are designing the next-generation purchase order processing system at your company. Although the presentation and business logic tiers will be designed and built using the Java platform, the existing relational database will be re-used, because its design has proven to be fast, scalable, and reliable. Ease and speed of development is an important consideration. What is the most appropriate server-side component to use when providing read-write access to the existing database schema in the new application?
stateless session beans using JDBC directly
Java Persistence API (JPA) accessed using a DAO layer
message-driven beans using a JMS queue and a DAO layer
stateful session beans coupled with a thread per concurrent request
bean-managed persistence (BMP) entity beans accessed using a DAO layer
A company has defined an XML-based document format that its business partners need to use
to submit order information. To guarantee confidentiality and information integrity at a fine level in the presence of multiple processing steps, the company wants to take advantage of technologies such as WS-Security and XML Digital Signatures. These technologies define SOAP headers that can be used to sign and encrypt fragments of documents. Your task is to implement the web service that accepts and processes the orders. Which component type should be used for the web service endpoint?
stateless session bean with RMI interface
message-driven bean with web service interface
stateful session bean with web service interface
stateless session bean with access to the SOAP body
stateless session bean with access to the SOAP envelope
You are the architect for an in-house application used by a consulting corporation to schedule internal resources to staff client engagements. The application will be used only by a well- defined user group (the in-house HR team) and so will not be exposed to large spikes in demand. Two phase commit semantics are not required, and the simple security model is addressed by integration with the company's LDAP server at the presentation layer. The company does have a 36-month roadmap for their intranet which calls for incremental development of the application over time. What is the best solution for implementing the business logic tier?
JSPs accessing the database directly is sufficient.
An MVC web framework with no persistence tier is sufficient.
An MVC web framework accessing session beans to access the persistence tier is sufficient.
Any standard web framework implementing the MVC model accessing the persistence tier
is sufficient.
A company that sells avatar skins for virtual reality environments has hired an architect
consultant to determine why their system runs slowly. The consultant finds that the business logic that processes orders has been embedded into all of their JSPs using scriptlets. During load testing, the responsiveness of the system is slow, but the CPU and VM-free memory utilization remain at a low level. Which two are most likely causes of the problem? (Choose two.)
User requests are deadlocked.
Theservlet instances are locked on every request.
The Java Virtual Machine is NOT configured properly.
Database connection pooling is NOT configured properly.
A company is embarking on a major new initiative, the creation of an eCommerce, B2C (business to consumer) application to sell their widgets. As the lead architect, you need to decide whether or not to use EJBs in the business tier of the architecture. The architecture is as follows: JSP <-> Controller <-> Business logic <-> JPA-based persistence. Which option represents the optimal solution describing the business tier implementation?
Stateless session beans are required to update values in the database.
Entity beans are necessary to allow the controllers to access the JPA persistence layer.
Message-driven beans are required to decouple the controllers from the persistence tier.
Session beans are required in order to provide unit-of-work, security, and transaction management semantics to the JPA layer.
A large enterprise employs numerous authors to produce content. The decision is made to use a content management system (CMS) to store the content, and its metadata, in a few relational databases. Multiple JSF-based web applications need to display the same data. What implementation strategy would have the most impact on increasing reuse?
Using web services to access the CMS
Using an object relational mapping technology
Using a service locator to find the relational databases
Using a component-oriented web application framework
Using atemplating mechanism to composite view components
A teenage fashion web site employs a dozen web designers skilled in graphic design, HTML, and some JavaScript experience. You were hired by the company to create an architecture that includes a small amount of dynamic content to integrate the web site with the company's order entry system. Which three web technologies would you train the web designers to use to create dynamic pages? (Choose three.)
theservlet API
JSP with standard tags
JSP with JSTL database tags
building new JSF components
standard JSF component tags
JSP with the Expression Language

Premature optimizations could be an evil
Posted Rajesh Balamohan on March 22, 2008 in response to Message #249385 databases are best used for this purpose. If there is contention with the database usage, a replicate database of a full extract (Or Dump and load) of a database should be considered. Replicate if you can ensure data letency, which you would have if you loaded the objects into any Caching mechanism. This statement:
"I was told to read from the database at startup, populate my objects and make my queries on these objects NOT on the database. "
dictates your solution, I have two suggestions. First, Space-based architecture (SBA) is a design pattern that leverages the tuple space paragidm for achieving linear scalability of stateful, high-performance applications. Look into Java Spaces implementation such as Gigaspaces, which allows you to pre-load the caches of objects from a database for query purposes, and scales and is very fast. Coherenece if you are an Oracle shop and have Oracle representation (Not exactly a Java Spaces Implementation, but uses the same ) Secondly, Look at a replication of an extract based system to extract data from the main database to a Decision Support database, that your application can query as needed. So you can use the Tools of the Trade, JDBC, J, EJB in native functionality without the restriction of not using the main database. best of of luck.

Troy frontcourt plays big in postseason
Six-foot seniors step up scoring as team advances
Published 11:55 pm, Friday, March 8, 2013
TROY — Cheyenne Williams, Krystyn Knockwood and Courtney Avery are the three tallest players on the Troy High girls' basketball roster and during the Flying Horses' four postseason contests, the 6-foot senior frontcourt trio have taken turns delivering their biggest moments of the season.
Williams tied her season-high with 13 points in Troy's 54-47 Section II Class A title win over Holy Names, a team that at the time was ranked No. 1 in the state.
Knockwood poured in a season-best 17 in the quarterfinals vs. South Glens Falls and buried a clutch 3-pointer late in the championship win over Holy Names.
Avery has hit double digits in points all four playoff games, including a season-best 15 points Tuesday in a 49-43 regional triumph over Jamesville-DeWitt.
More Information
At a glance
Class A state regional final
Who: Troy vs. Massena
When, where: Noon Saturday, SUNY Potsdam
C6 • Regional finals schedule.
"The fact we have so many people that are capable of scoring makes us more of a threat as a team," Avery said.
"It wasn't that way for the bulk of the year," Troy coach Paul Bearup said. "We have been looking for and hoping for this all year. We've done different things to get them involved. It was a matter of them being more comfortable and relaxed. I'm glad it happened."
Troy (17-5), ranked No. 8, looks to advance to the state Class A Final Four with a victory Saturday against Section X champion Massena (11-7, ranked No. 16) in the regional final at noon.
"Compared to a few years back when we couldn't even win our first-round sectional game to being at our first regional (fina1) is pretty amazing," Williams said.
"They are determined to keep this going. At some point, it is going to end, hopefully, with a victory," Bearup said. "When it does, there are going to be a lot of tears. They are not ready for this to end now."
Troy's five losses came against three state-ranked teams: Section II Class AA Albany, AA runner-up Bethlehem and No. 2 ranked Class B squad Oneonta. In both games with Albany, the second vs. Oneonta and against Bethlehem, the Flying Horses led in the second half and performed poorly in the fourth quarter.
"Those losses definitely hurt a lot, but it definitely made us stronger as a team," Knockwood said.
Trailing Holy Names most of the first three quarters, Troy's inside trio stayed out of foul trouble while Holy Names' 6-foot trio of Hannah Friend, Mary Kate Murray and Deja Deas were hindered by foul difficulties.
"The competition against the Albany kids, the Bethlehem kids and the Oneonta kids certainly helped them, but I also think their determination to get past this game was key," Bearup said.
"We had been waiting and preparing for that moment all year," said Knockwood, who averages 6.2 points per game. "It definitely felt amazing to win that game."
Avery came off the bench earlier in the season and ranks third on the team, behind starting guards Mary Pattison and Kiana Patterson, at 7.7 points per game.
"We really liked the energy that Courtney provided coming off the bench," Bearup said. "When she came in, she changed things immediately. When we had some issues with injuries, Courtney got in there and she was started out at the pace — so we decided to keep her in the starting role."
"Courtney is really fast and can jump high, Krystyn is really long and can jump and I'm strong. We have every single thing we need," said Williams, who is fourth for Troy at 7.0 points per game.
"All of us really work well together and I love working with them," Knockwood said. "It is great to have our height and be able to contribute all over the court."

2011 Federal Budget – Family Law Implications
By Steve Ranot: A look at the 2011 Federal Budget and some of its aspects family law specialists should consider.
Home Sweet Home
One of the most common assets with which we deal in a divorce, and one which has some of the most favorable tax treatments available (and at the same time one for which the tax treatments are so often misunderstood by non-tax experts), is the marital home. While as a general statement there are many unique items within our Tax Code, the marital home indeed has a special place, blessed with certain tax benefits that are simply nowhere else to be found in our Tax Code.
Understanding Child-Related Tax Credits
By Noah Rosenfarb: In general, there are four different types of tax credits that divorcing parents should understand before resolving which parent will claim the dependency exemption and/or how joint custody should be addressed in an agreement.
Why Roth?
By Noah Rosenfarb: The Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 created a new type of Individual Retirement Account ("IRA") named after Senate Finance Committee Chairman, Senator William V. Roth, Jr.
What Family Attorneys Should Know Before Dividing Hedge Fund Assets
There are several things to look out for when dealing with hedge funds, including the limitations on your clients' rights to redeem shares, accredited investor status, their valuation process, tax etc.
Equitable Distribution of Nonqualified Deferred Compensation
By Noah B. Rosenfarb: When nonqualified deferred compensation plans ("NQDC") exist in a marital estate, they are often substantial components of the marital balance sheet. If your case includes an NQDC…
Dependency Exemptions in Divorce
By Noah Rosenfarb: In 2008, the IRS amended Section 152(e), which deals with dependency exemptions. The changes to the tax code can be summarized…
Who Should Claim The Exemptions?
Federal tax law allows the parties to decide which parent should claim the exemption. There is no residency requirement. There is no requirement that the party claiming the exemption pay support. (These factors do figure in the head of household filing status determination, though.)
Spousal Trust – How to Protect Your Assets and Lower Income Taxes
Couples commonly have wills that bequest all of their property to the surviving spouse after the death of the other. A concern may arise that, if the surviving spouse ever re-marries, all or some of the property that was intended to remain "in the family" may find its way into the hands of a stranger.
The Value of Filing as "Head of Household"
Filing as Head of Household ("HOH") can save up to $8,000 per year over filing as Single. Therefore, it is critical to evaluate the post-divorce tax filing status for each party when negotiating a settlement. This requires thought and agreement beyond determining who will claim a child as a dependent.

Channel 10 News: Chasing Jewish Terrorists, Hiding Arab Vandals
Channel 10 News has dedicated much airtime over the last couple of days reporting on the puncturing of tires on 28 vehicles in the Arab community of Abu-Ghosh in the Judean Hills, west of Jerusalem. Compounding the vandalism was the spray-painting of the Hebrew words for "racism or assimilation" and "Arabs out!"
Channel 10 News, along with the rest of Israel's major media outlets, immediately connected the incident to an amorphous group of politically motivated Jewish vandals which operates under the name "Tag Mechir" (Price Tag).
Jews behaving badly consists mainly of spraying graffiti on the cars and homes of Arabs living in Judea and Samaria (West Bank). Their most detestable acts have involved vandalizing mosques. These fringe elements of Israeli society have been uniformly condemned by an overwhelming majority of the Jewish public.
While the willingness of a tiny minority of Israelis to engage in violence against Arabs is reprehensible, it is important to keep in mind one small but often overlooked detail: they have killed no one. Indeed, Jewish criminal elements have engaged in virtually no acts of violence against humans.
Yet, Channel 10 News and the rest of Israel's liberal media continually equate the misdeeds of a few seriously disturbed Jews to terrorism.
Apparently, the slashing of tires on 28 cars is on par with the September 11 attacks that took the lives of almost 3,000 people.
Having eviscerated the distinction between thuggery and terrorism when it comes to Jewish perpetrators, Israel's media outlets have been strangely mute with regards to the many cases of synagogues being vandalized by Arabs.
While Jews are evidently marauding across the West Bank, Channel 10 News along with other Israeli media outlets have invoked a code of virtual silence with regards to the following spate of criminal acts perpetrated by Arabs against Jews:
- The repeated desecration of Bat Yam's Haohel synagogue
- The stoning and attacks with bricks and bottles of a group of Jewish girls walking atop the walls of the Old City
- Attack of Jewish teens by a 17-year-old Arab youth from east Jerusalem in the city's Har Homa neighborhood
On the rare and fleeting occasions when Arab vandalism is reported on, never does an Israeli media outlet label such attacks against Jewish targets as acts of terrorism.
Why would Israeli news reporters engage in such acts of journalistic chicanery?
If "price tag" vandalism in Arab villages is troubling, why aren't the same people troubled by swastikas daubed on a Jewish holy place?
It could be that Israel's left-leaning media elite is feeling threatened by the rise of the conservative Israel Hayom, which has overtaken the liberal Yediot Aharonot as the country's most widely read newspaper.
With the left-wing monopoly in the press smashed, the rest of the liberal Israeli media has evidently been driven to distraction, more determined than ever to buck the tide of Israeli public opinion by clinging to and disseminating stale leftist tropes that the unwashed masses have long since abandoned.
How much easier does it become to promote a two-state solution when the Jewish occupiers are on the rampage against the helpless Arab victims of the occupation!
Sadly for Channel 10 News and the rest of Israel's biased media, Israelis have proven to be too sophisticated to be influenced by them.
Gidon Ben-Zvi is an accomplished writer who left behind Hollywood starlight for Jerusalem stone. After serving in an IDF infantry unit for two-and-a-half years, Gidon returned to the United States, where he embarked on a twelve-year run of half-baked careers and misguided educational pursuits. Today, Gidon is happily entangled and the mildly unhinged Ben-Zvis aspire to raise a brood of children who speak English fluently – with an Israeli accent.

This is crazy! If we wont stop this, the next "Shoa" will come even sooner
What's interesting is how Israel, despite the conventional wisdom that says otherwise, is NOT unique among the family of nations. You can find similar security issues, unruly minority populations and local grievances around the world. Spain, India and even the United State (to name just three) have had to deal with large, problematic 'native' populations. In NO other case besides Israel has the idea of a separate, independent homeland been seriously proposed or pursued. Unfortunately, Israel's media continues to perpetuate the idea of Israel's uniqueness, bordering on strangeness, which requires a wholly untried 'unique' solution: two states…I thank you for reading and responding to my piece. Shabbat Shalom.

Funeral Etiquette
Peoria: Robert C. "Bob" Burr, 82, of Peoria died Wednesday, January 9, 2013 at OSF St. Francis Medical Center in Peoria.

"I have been reading in the newspaper at different times about the sand bar in Bluffton and I would like to know basically where it is located and if the only way you can get to it is by boat and what street or what road it's off of.

Managed a few binocular glimpses of Comet Pan-STARRS (C/2011 L4) between the clouds last night, then I got to wondering if it was sufficiently north and high for me to be able to train the obsy-based telescope on it.
After a bit of a faff moving the roof a good foot further along than usual, and then removing the screen that keeps out the glare from the retirement-home up the road, the only obstruction was the neighbour's Japanese Maple. I couldn't cut it down and it wouldn't bend out of the way so I decided to just pretend it wasn't there and take the shots through it anyway. After all, if this hobby was easy, everybody would be doing it!
Despite the tree, the light-pollution haze near the horizon, the comet's low altitude, the glare from several 500W halogen burglar-helpers and a mere 15-minute window of opportunity when the comet was visible between houses, the result's not so bad after all:
Comet Pan-STARRS (C/2011 L4).

NFU Scotland requests clarification over cattle moving
National Farmers' Union Scotland (NFUS) has announced it will be contacting abattoirs and processors to gain an understanding into "maximum moves rules" in terms of cattle.
Recently, there have been concerns among cattle producers over the decision by some abattoirs to enforce penalties and deductions on the price paid for cattle if they have spent their lives on different farms.
Having contacted the Scottish Association of Meat Wholesalers, it became clear that, within its membership, different abattoirs were deducting different costs for the number of moves.
"It is already apparent that every processor appears to be operating to its own individual standards, hence the need for NFUS to contact all plants to find out just what is happening," said NFUS livestock chairman Charlie Adam.
In addition, the definition of what consists of a move has not been made clear. Whereas some abattoirs claim it to be a change of ownership, others consider it to be a change of location. This latter definition catches out cattle that have moved from farm to farm, yet stay within the same business.
"First and foremost we need clarity from each processor on its definition of a move. There appears to be two different rules in use – one based on the number of times an animal has changed ownership, the other counting the number of farms the animal has been on, regardless of whether those farms are owned by the same business."
Recently, red meat processor Dunbia announced that it was to reduce payments for cattle that had been on more than four farms.
Adam called for processors to clearly state the amount of moves that could take place before deductions became active: "We also need processors to clarify how many moves are permitted before deductions and what the level of deduction will be.
"Farmers buying and selling cattle need to know exactly where they stand. We are contacting processors this week to get a clear understanding of each plant's policy. Given that each processor is taking a different approach, we will collate the responses we receive so that members are in no doubt about any individual plant's position on this."
It was highlighted by Adam that the geographical conditions in which cattle are raised in Scotland can result in numerous moves, resulting in unfair deductions.
"The Union's livestock committee has already discussed this matter and agreed that limiting the number of moves cattle can have before penalties kick in at the abattoir is a worry," continued Adam.
"Given Scotland's geography and climate, it is not unusual for cattle to be born on one farm, then moved to another over the winter months to secure the best shelter, then moved elsewhere to graze the next summer. Within Scotland's traditional systems, the number of movements cattle make can quickly stack up.
"Once we have clarity on the different policies plants have in place, we will be discussing with retailers and processors the effect these rules have on beef farming."

The Young Sinner
Today's youth and the terrifying tightrope they walk between love and lonliness
- film debut of Stefanie Powers
- starring: Tom Laughlin, Stefanie Powers, William Wellman
- Score by jazz great Shelly Manne
In this realistic, non-exploitative drama, a high school athlete confesses his life story to a priest. The story is told in flashback. First he is seen as a top football player hoping for a scholarship so he can go to school and get away from his alcoholic father and his hard-working mother. The trouble begins when he is caught swimming in the school pool after hours and put on probation. Though he is love with one girl, he dates another, more wealthy girl. The affair goes well until they are caught in bed by her parents. Later he is falsely accused of participating in a robbery and gets expelled. The lonely youth then takes a 14-year-old slut to a secret hiding place in the church for a quick liaison. But he cannot go through with it because he is disgusted with himself. Instead he goes to confession. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide

usethis2 : "And to no one's surprise (at least not me) the distractors desperately want this thread to die or to be closed."
- do you pretend to speak for everybody ?!
usethis2:" They have nothing to contribute but say the thread became a "joke." Yet they can't seem to contain themselves and keep coming back to it..."
- sorry, but as the thread is still running, is there an objection to have an eye ? and when there are no more relevant contributions but the same grumpy tunes, we can reasonably say "stop"... unless you want to ramble on until the end of the world... which will close the debate will be the answer from ISU to the korean federation, however it seems that the formal complaint is not yet sent and the delay expires 60 days after the event (it seems to me.. must verify)
usethis2 : "If they truly do not care about this issue or think it is a "joke," they would not visit this thread... No one has that kind of time or motive to devote on a subject issue that do not appeal to them"
- of course the subject "was" interesting, the thread itself is not a joke. Assertions without evidence are jokes. And visiting a thread is not squatting the thread !

'Justified' season finale recap: Five don't leave Harlan alive
On Tuesday night's season finale of "Justified," we said goodbye to five characters on the show. But more importantly, the lines have been drawn in the sand between Raylan (Timothy Olyphant) and Boyd (Walton Goggins) for the final season showdown. And for those sitting on the edge of their seat about Ava's fate in prison, it was decided tonight, as well.
This last episode was epic, and set up a final season that promises the same. (Spoilers follow.)
First, let's wrap up the Crowe story. We picked up from last week at the marshal's office with Daryl Crowe (Michael Rapaport) being released and Raylan requesting to hold Wendy (Alicia Witt) for a few hours. Raylan has her observe his interrogation of her son Kendal (Jacob Lofland) so she is finally convinced he is covering for Daryl in the shooting of Art (Nick Searcy) and isn't guilty.
So then it comes down to choosing brother or son. Any mother on the planet can pretty much tell you how that is gonna go. But Wendy refuses to wear a wire out of fear of her brother, who has already dispatched another brother to save the family.
In one of the most intense scenes of the finale, Wendy meets Daryl and it's apparent she's trying to get a confession, which means she is at a huge risk of Daryl knowing the same. But she gets what she needs from him, and reveals the cell phone she was recording it on to him, making every viewer ask, "What are you thinking, girl?"
Apparently she was thinking that despite having Raylan as her backup, mother's blood runs thicker than brother's blood, and Darryl needed to pay — she had already pulled a gun and had it pointed squarely at Daryl's family jewels when Raylan strolled in. And after Daryl's threats, she had given herself a self-defense defense right out of the Raylan Givens playbook of how to get away with killing someone.
Like Daryl, you're probably saying, "Oh, no way. No way! She won't do that!"
Yes, way. Wendy shot Daryl in the Crowe family jewels and then in the neck. And as he lay there dying by the hand of his own sister, Raylan leaned over him and in a quiet but epic display of cold-hearted revenge, said, "Didn't I tell you you were gonna wish I killed ya? Well … dontcha?"
Clint Eastwood could n't have delivered that line any better. Epic moment number one.
So that was one casualty. Three others came courtesy of Boyd's Mexican buddies, who were dispatched by Rachel (Erica Tazel) and Tim (Jacob Pitts.) Although they probably wish differently, they also happened to save Boyd in the process. But not without letting him know his day would come.
Fans finally got to see Rachel and Boyd have their first of what promises to be many confrontations. And it was clear who came out on top. Rachel ain't playin'. Ironic that it took so few words to thoroughly put him in his place, as wordy as Boyd can be. Not many can leave that man speechless.
Epic moment number two.
Boyd gets his drugs back, and delivers them to Wynn Duffy (Jere Burns) and Katherine Hale (Mary Steenburgen.) Boyd seems weary of it all near the end of the episode, but Duffy and Hale finally seem to be convinced that Boyd is their man, and make a proposition to keep him in his criminal ways.
How else can we have that face off between Raylan and Boyd in the final season?
But let's talk about Ava. Executive producers and Olyphant had already made it clear Ava would get out of prison, but how? Well, let's just say someone called it correctly. Yeah, the proof is right here.
Ava cut a deal with Raylan to help put away Boyd for good, as he is now enemy #1 in the marshal office with Daryl dead. Yes, Ava is free. But still in a whole world of danger, as she's now in a twisted triangle between her, Boyd and Raylan. She will have to betray the man she was engaged to in order to save herself — one could say that Raylan intends to use the one woman he cares about to do in Boyd just like he did with Daryl.
That is cold-hearted, y'all.
And the last scene of the episode was her meeting Raylan on the bridge to discuss how she was going to help him take Boyd down. Showrunner Graham Yost had revealed in a media call last week that the last scene of the episode would feature Ava and a new version of the song "You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive," causing a few doubts about her survival, but this twist on the recurring theme of the song gave their meeting a hint of the menace to come.
Epic moment number three.
A few other epic moments included Tim showing a whole new side with his extra screen time this week, tailing Daryl before his demise and showing he is every bit as badass as his cowboy-hat-wearing peer. And, as Twitter lit up again, catching a lot of attention from the female fans. All that tough talk? It made us ladies kinda tingly, if you know what I mean. Which is a hard thing to do in the shadow of Olyphant. But Pitts is finding his stride now that he got a little extra screen time.
More of that please. That standoff between him and Daryl? Epic moment number four.
And oh, yes, that fifth casualty? Poor Jimmy (Jesse Luken), Boyd's right hand man, was shot in cold blood by those bad Mexican drug dealers. Fans lamented his demise on Twitter, and even Boyd seemed pretty broken up. You are a good man, Jimmy… were a good man.
And one last epic moment: Winona (Natalie Zea) made an appearance via Skype with their daughter when Raylan broke the news to her that he was being transferred to Florida and they'd all be together again soon. Winona is crying and Raylan says "I hope those are tears of joy."
Well, yeah, silly. Then he comments how beautiful their daughter is. Epic moment number five.
At the end of the episode, Rachel tells Raylan he can leave and go to Florida as soon as he takes care of this "one thing before he goes" — helping them take down Boyd Crowder for good.
Yost told us last week that was going to be the overriding theme of Season 6 — "one last thing before I go" — and there it is for Raylan. But what will that one thing be for Boyd? Getting out of crime? Getting back with Ava? Getting a clean start?
What will it be for Ava? Getting back with Boyd? Getting back at him for not getting her out of jail? Getting away from Harlan for good?
You'll have a long wait to find out, till Season 6 of "Justified" returns.

Obama owns Hillary at the Iowa debate. Owns her. What a sweet sweet moment! (Notice the muffled "Oh, you wanna hear that?")
No wonder he is soo grumpy! Seriously, Bill, give it up already. Hillary won't win!
0 comment on Holy Smackdown
Democrats are too much into feel good theories. I wouldn't follow them across the street. They have been wrong since '73. They are not the party of FDR and JFK. They are the spoiled over induldged children of those two.Reply
I am a Democrat and resent that remark. I'll vote for Hillary when Hell freezes over, and with Global Warming, that won't be anytime soon!
No one can claim to be a new FDR or JFK, and lets not forget, they both had the same problem Slick Willy had too. Regardless, we do have some very good candidates, some with very good experience, but we've all seen where experience takes us – into Iraq! Thanks, but no thanks – I'll take Obama or Edwards.Reply
Please. Obama is all rhetoric of "hope" and "change" with zero substance or policy recommendations. He appeals to naive college freshman and that's about it.
Edwards is a wannabe populist who made all of his money suing doctors. He's trash.Reply
Obama actually has a bill he co-wrote while in Senate. Clinton nor Edwards do. You can say all you want about Edwards and Obama, but please Billary – no thanks. I think we've all had our fill of the lies, ooops, I mean triangulations.Reply

Who remembers Kubrick's Vietnam movie Full Metal Jacket ? It starts with young cadets being brainwashed in boot camp under a torrent of salty abuse from Sergeant Hartman (played by R. Lee Ermey). The middle part of the film was shot in Galleons Reach in London's Docklands. The addition of a few strategic palm trees transformed this global financial centre into a perfect facsimile of a Vietnam warzone. (Yes, yes, I know …but they do say story telling is all about the willing suspension of disbelief…)
The film ends with US Marines marching into the darkening night singing the Mickey Mouse March. It's meant ironically, of course, "Mickey Mouse" as a slang term meaning something petty, useless and senseless. It also emphasizes the soldiers' youth. This final scene is trying to sum up the film's core statement : Brainwashed young men follow orders from above and commit atrocities in a pointless war.
The military is almost synonymous with top down control. Generals tell Colonels what to do, Colonels tell Majors, and so on down the line until it reaches the poor grunts in the line of fire. The emphasis seems to be on following orders and the chain of command. Don't question what you are told to do. Just do it.
In fact, things are changing and it is becoming more important for soldiers to think for themselves. They are teaching US Cadets about Immanuel Kant in West Point these days. The BBC recently broadcast a report on Radio 4 about how moral philosophy has become a key part of the syllabus when training soldiers in the USA.
The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan can not be won through force. That may have worked for Kublai Khan, which was the last time both countries were under the thumb of the same foreign invader. But today it is all about winning hearts and minds. So what a US soldier does when patrolling in a dusty village makes all the difference. He needs to make the right moral choices. He is not following orders from above so much as using his own independent judgment.
Part of the reason America lost the Vietnam War was the obsessive top down control from Washington. The military has learnt its lesson. There are two different levels. High level strategy that can be planned and moral choices made by an individual on the ground. One is top down the other bottom up. Different levels, different rules. That is catataxis.
