Protests in Turkey are stirring debate in some Arab countries about the compatibility of Islam and democracy.
The ongoing clashes in Istanbul's Taksim Square have exposed the fault lines running between those want to protect secular values and those who want to introduce more Islam into public life.
Prime Minister Erdogan decried antigovernment protesters as 'vagabonds' and 'extremists.' Critics acknowledge his success in driving Turkey's spectacular growth, but say he has become autocratic.
The protests throughout Turkey have brought issues of media self-censorship, government control, and ownership by large conglomerates to the fore, disgusting many Turks.
Turkey's protest movement is burgeoning, but has so far failed to find a common goal or person to coalesce around, other than opposing Prime Minister Erdogan.
Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's uncompromising response to widespread protests has kept many out on the streets, angered by what they describe as his 'dictatorial' rule.
Any protest movement that insists on a leaderless, non-ideological approach to political change is unlikely to accomplish much.
Syria lashes out at Turkey's brutality in a case of the pot calling the kettle black.
Far from softening in the face of a public backlash, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan took a combative tone with reporters.
All along the protest march in Antakya, people lining the road cheered on the protesters and hung off balconies, shouting their support or clapping.
Protesters in Turkey celebrated their hold – for now – on Istanbul's Taksim Square. But it's unclear what will happen next in the anti-government movement.
Twin car bombings on the Turkey-Syria border left 46 dead this weekend. But Turkey insisted it would not be provoked into a war with Syria.
Kurdish militants have battled Turkey's government for decades. Once interested in independence, the PKK is now pressing for limited autonomy, broader language rights, and full political equality for Kurds.
With 74 percent of Syrian refugees living outside camps, life is a daily struggle to find affordable housing, jobs with living wages, and schooling for their children.
A helicopter carrying foreign nationals made an emergency landing due to poor weather conditions in Afghanistan, where they were seized by the Taliban.
Fazil Say's case highlights a curtailing of free expression in Turkey that has also put 49 journalists in prison. He was convicted of insulting Islam in a series of mocking tweets.
The deal will help rebuild intelligence links between Turkey and Israel. The Turks do not want to be caught off guard by any use or transfer of chemical weapons in nearby Syria.
After three decades of war, Kurdish leader Abdullah Ocalan has proposed a cease-fire agreement to jumpstart steps toward limited self-governance.
Turkey has worried about Syria's war creeping across the border since the uprising began. Yesterday's bombing at a border crossing indicates it may finally be happening.
Today's bombing of the US embassy in Ankara, which Turkey has blamed on an outlawed leftist group, comes amid warnings that Turkey could soon face jihadist spillover from Syria.
Although Syria is reported to have used tactical surface-to-surface rockets against rebel forces on several occasions in the nearly two-year civil war, none has landed inside Turkey.
The killings of PKK founder Sakine Cansiz and two others could be an attempt to derail negotiations between Ankara and the PKK to peacefully end the militant group's separatist campaign.
With its attempts to join the EU stalled and its leadership role in the Middle East marred by Syria's conflict, Turkey is turning its attention to a less tumultuous border – the Black Sea.
Bashar al-Assad's deputy foreign minister said that even if Syria had chemical weapons, it would not use them on its own people. 'We would not commit suicide,' he said.
Three explosions in the capital, including an attack on the presidential palace, could mark a new phase in the rebels' campaign against the Assad regime.

I was only dimly aware of Elizabeth I and not aware at all of Mary, Queen of Scots. This book changed all of that. I was well written, well narrated, and absolutely fascinating. It provided an alluring picture of the life of Elizabeth, a little less so for Mary. I became so absorbed, I have pursued the subject with other, more detailed (and less readable) histories of the two and the Tudor period. Highly recommend.
"Excellent book and excellent audio"
The narrator did a great job with the different accents and gave the story alot of color. It was wonderful story with 2 great compelling women. I loved the detail that I was unaware of. If you are remotelyh aware of these two women, then this book will be great to listen to.
If you enjoy historical novels and/or historical fiction, you'll enjoy this retelling of the Elizabeth and Mary's story. This is not fiction, but sometimes truth is more interesting than fiction could possible be, and this is one of those cases. The story is engrossing, the reading is excellent, and you'll get a good idea of how these monarch's thought and acted, and how Europe lived in those times. Highly recommended!
"Very good"
I have spent a lot of time studying the Tudors monarchs and I found this book very good and engaging
"Great book!"
Beautifully written and wonderfully narrated. Never a dull moment.
"loved the narrative. but..."
It was very plodding. hard to finish. jumped around. hard to finish. was so so.
World Champion Parallel Parker
"More Mary than Elizabeth"
What a life Mary had! It was an insane whirl and makes you glad you aren't a queen. This well-balanced treatment puts her life into the context of Elizabeth's life and makes inevitable the battle between them. It's good, but not as good as Mary Queen of Scotland and the Isles.
"Great Book, Lots of History"
I really enjoyed the way the writer took the time to explain all the ways one life affected the other. How she could make you both feel frustrated with both women and sympathic at the same time. How the way the life and times they lived in affected the end result.
I loved how she compare the two women and how each one had their strengths and obvious weakness'.
Definately has to be Elizabeth I. For all her attempts to side step and save Mary Queen of Scots, there was no way out.
No Way Out!
I became interested in the life and times of Elizabeth I as a result of interest in the 1588 English defeat of the Spanish Armada and watching the two recent, excellent movies on the life of this amazing queen. This audio book on the lives of the rival cousins, Elizabeth I and Mary, Queen of Scots, was truly an outstanding listen. I feel that I came to know these two women well. My appetite to know more about their story, especially Elizabeth's later years, is doubled. One can only conclude that Elizabeth I was an amazing woman, in spite of her superstitions and belief in supernatural foolishness.
As an atheist, I found it especially remarkable to note how much adversity and disaster, personal and societal, was generated over religion during Elizabeth's reign. It seems humanity hasn't learned much since the 16th Century.
"Enjoyed this very much."
I really enjoyed this book. It gives great insight as to the outlook of both Queens and why they took the actions they did.

We are in the Learning Age. Today, more than ever in history, people must be able to learn and adapt quickly. Technology, jobs, processes, and knowledge are constantly changing and evolving. In order to keep up, people need to have the ability to learn, problem solve, question, and create.
As instructional designers and facilitators, this is an exciting time, if you are willing to be more creative and think outside-of-the-box. Instead of training on boring repetitive tasks, you get to help people grow.
Returning to The Accelerated Learning Handbook by Dave Meier, here is how he summarized the difference between how we used train to how we need to train in the Learning Age:
Traditional Learning tends to be: Rigid Somber & serious Single-pathed Means-centered Competitive Behavioristic Verbal Controlling Materials-centered Mental (cognitive) Time-based Accelerated Learning tends to be: Flexible Joyful Multi-pathed End-centered Collaborative Humanistic Multi-sensory Nurturing Activity-centered Mental/emotional/physical Results-based

POC AVIP Thermal Tights Men's
Taking a day or three off because it's chilly can throw a big wrench in your training plans, so POC designed the AVIP Thermal Tights to keep you pedaling through the often questionable weather of spring, fall, and winter. Made from four way stretch fabric, the AVIP Thermal Tights have a snug, muscle supporting fit that's comfortable anytime you're on a chilly ride, but they really make their money when the weather gets nasty. The front, from the knees up, is windproof and water resistant, while the back and sides have a soft brushed interior to help retain heat and keep the cold air off your skin. At the back, a raised waistband provides full coverage and a secure fit, while grippers at the hems ensure that your tights won't ride up and leave your ankles exposed. Like all of POC's AVIP gear, the Thermal Tights place a premium on safety, with fluorescent calf panels, reflective logos, and a reflective rear print to help you be seen through the sleet and the rain.

We stayed at the villa for 4 days and it was great. It was located at a very beautiful and quiet complex and the pool was great for the kids. Everything in the house was well equipped and clean. Suitable for families with kids since it has lots of toys and DVDs!!! We will be returning for sure!!!
Very spacious, clean and modern. Quiet when we went but surprisingly close to local restaurants and beaches. Walking distance to one of the top rated restaurants in protaras. We had a car so it was a good base to explore the coast from famagusta to ayai nappa. Lots of lovely beaches and restaurants.
Villa is very suitable for family with children. Kitchen is well equipped. There are also 2 bbq (wood and gas) in the yard. We stayed here for 1,5 month with 2 child - 2 y.o. and 11 y.o. Lots of toys for children. Pool is also very nice during hot days. Yard is very good for day sunbathing and evening dinners. Adelina was very friendly and helpful in any question we had. When we arrived she showed and gave all information about nearest beaches, bars, shops and restaurants. One more good point - Adelina speaks russian and english well and it was very easy to communicate with her. We would strongly recommend this villa and this area to stay.
We had a rest on a Villa Luxore 36 in May, 2013.
We want to share the positive impressions about our rest. The villa is magnificent, it has all necessary for comfortable rest. The villa is in very silent housing estate. We enjoyed silence overlooking a field and the sea. Our rest was broken only by frogs and cicadas :)
The villa is located near the sea. We were the big company (5 adults) with three small children - without problems walked on different beaches, the nearest beach in 10-15 minutes of walking from villa. For inhabitants of big city it's not distance.
We would like to note separately communication with the owner of this villa. Adelina - very pleasant woman in communication, we didn't expect such hospitality! Especially we were surprised those that the owner perfectly speaks Russian that facilitated our dialogue. At any time we received detailed, benevolent answers on all our questions.
There is a wish to return to the country where live such people!
We are very happy with our rest. We advise now to all our friends to go to this villa to have a rest. And we again will arrive here!
Adelina, to new meetings! Thanks for everything!
Recommended: for all who wants quiet and comfortable rest near the sea.
A big thanks for an amazing holiday at your beautiful Villa. We experienced the most amazing time in Protaras and I would 100% recommend this villa and location to families if you are looking to stay near the beach and good restaurants!
We were absolutely delighted with our stay at Luxore Villa .
The villa was very well equipped with moderns colors.
We were a group of 5 people 4 adults and one child and the house exceeded our expectations.
I would highly recommend the Villa to my friends,as a great villa with fantastic facilities super location and well worth the money
We were able to relax and enjoy our holidays :-)
Thank you

Transformation is a word we use so often in our daily lives that it seems strange to stop and think about what it really means. But in adaptation circles, the definition and role of transformation has recently become a hot topic of conversation, in part because transformational change was an important theme of the recent IPCC Fifth Assessment Report, Climate Change 2014: Impacts, Adaptation, and Vulnerability.
Insights: WRI's Blog
Insights offers WRI experts' timely analysis and commentary on crucial issues at the nexus of environment and human development.
For cross-post requests and other inquiries, please contact Online Editor Sarah Parsons.
Leading Topics
Recently, WRI hosted a roundtable on Adaptation Finance in Washington, D.C., bringing together experts in development and climate finance to discuss this challenge: Countries and donors are mobilizing hundreds of millions of dollars to help people adapt to a changing climate. How do they get it to the local communities that need it most?
Although the World Bank has successfully addressed a number of important economic and social risks in its projects, it is falling short in recognizing climate risks. As the World Bank refreshes its long-term strategies, this is a key moment to bring climate change—and more broadly, sustainability—to the forefront of its investment agenda.
The Green Climate Fund (GCF) has big ambitions: It aspires to become the main global fund for providing climate change finance, contributing to activities like the design of resilient cities and the expansion of low-emission power generation.
While the GCF Board should be ambitious and innovative, they can also look to what's been done before. Drawing knowledge from the experiences of other critical climate and development funds is one way to ensure that the GCF succeeds.
Readiness is a hot topic for the newly established Green Climate Fund (GCF), as it heads towards its 6th Board meeting in Bali, Indonesia next week. At the meeting, the Board is expected to make a decision on what the GCF's readiness program will look like. It will likely be narrow in focus, which makes sense based on its limited funding and timeframe. Yet as the GCF moves forward, it is important to remember countries' broader readiness needs and to be flexible in finding the right institutions to channel funds in the short term.
The world is in the midst of unprecedented urbanization, with cities expected to hold 5.2 billion residents by 2050. One of the major challenges of the 21st century, therefore, is achieving a sustainable future for our cities. And transport – which connects people to economic opportunities, education, health services, and more – can make or break "The Future We Want."
Experts at Transforming Transportation have identified five opportunities to move human society toward transport of the 21st century. These areas for action include: road safety, mid-sized cities, regional and local governments, finance, and data and technology.
New analysis quantifies the total annual transport capital investment around the world. The Trillion Dollar Question: Tracking Public and Private Investment in Transport working paper finds that the global transport investment is between US$1.4 and US$2.1 trillion each year, enough to fund the capital budget of New York's subway 88 times.
This finding and others have significant implications—both for the cities of today and for investing in the future cities we want.
From U.S. climate action to growing global water risks, 2013 brought its share of highs and lows for the environment and development. WRI's experts responded to these events with their own commentary, research, and analysis—and it's clear that our readers were paying attention. Check out a handful of WRI's most popular blog posts of 2013:
Two and a half millennia ago, Plato announced that "Human behavior flows from three things: desire, emotion, and knowledge." Unfortunately, our human and corporate behavior on climate change is not even close to where it needs to be. But if the great philosopher was right (and he usually was), 2013 may have been a game changer.
The big news from 2013 came from gains in knowledge. New tools and research are opening our understanding much wider than before. But will we act on this? Knowledge can spur action, but this path is not guaranteed.
As 2013 comes to a close, it's a good time to look back on the impact we've made in the world this year.
We made progress on tackling key sustainability challenges, including addressing climate change, promoting clean energy, ensuring food security and stable water supplies, reducing forest degradation, and creating sustainable cities. Take a look at our nine top outcomes:

The age-defying Bernard Hopkins, at 47 years old, has a legacy that makes him one of the greatest fighters of all time. As much as Hopkins likes to talk -- even though he has been somewhat quiet lately -- his résumé speaks for itself: undisputed middleweight championship, division-record 20 title defenses, two light heavyweight championship reigns, and the distinction of being the oldest man in boxing history to win a world title.
Last May, on Jean Pascal's home turf in Montreal, Hopkins, 46 at the time, won a decision in a rematch of their previous draw to break heavyweight great George Foreman's record as the oldest fighter to win a world title. It was a glorious moment for Hopkins in a career filled with them. But then came the ugly, unfortunate encore.
Flashback to October at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, where Hopkins faced mandatory challenger and former titlist Chad Dawson, a man nearly 20 years his junior. Little in the way of action was expected from the fight, but few could have predicted the ugly ending.
Hopkins draped himself over Dawson's back when they were in a clinch and an annoyed Dawson picked him up and flung him to the canvas. Hopkins suffered a shoulder injury and Dawson was awarded a dissatisfying second-round knockout victory, which was later overturned by the California State Athletic Commission to a no-decision.
So here we are six months later, and Hopkins (52-5-2, 32 KOs) and Dawson (30-1, 17 KOs) are doing it again in the rematch few have demanded, although they have an obvious score to settle.
It goes down Saturday night (HBO, 10:15 ET) at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, N.J., where Hopkins will try to beat the odds yet again. His career is already filled with wins in fights he was counted out of (remember his bouts with Felix Trinidad, Kelly Pavlik and Antonio Tarver, for example).
"They were calling me old when I beat Trinidad 11 years ago," Hopkins said. "My biggest motivation has been adversity. This fight, all you hear is 'Chad is bigger. Chad is stronger.' Not that he is more talented."
Dawson is aiming to finish the job he may have been on his way to doing in October: sending Hopkins into retirement.
Dawson, 29, of New Haven, Conn., and Gary Shaw, his promoter, have claimed that Hopkins, the Philadelphia legend, faked his injury to get out of the first fight and really didn't want the rematch, even though avoiding a tough challenge is contrary to what Hopkins has done throughout his 24-year pro career.
"Last fight, he had no fire in his eyes," Dawson said. "I could look at him from across the ring and I saw he didn't want to be there that night.
"I am here to fight and finish off what should have happened the first time we fought. I was supposed to be crowned light heavyweight champion."
The outspoken Shaw was blunt in his assessment of the interest in a rematch from Hopkins' side.
"They didn't want the fight," Shaw said. "They lobbied against the fight, but I won on the floor of the WBC convention. That's why Hopkins is taking it, because without the belt, Hopkins is just an old fighter. So he needs that belt to be someone."
Golden Boy promoter Richard Schaefer came to his fighter's defense.
"This is ridiculous," he said. "I was recently at Bernard's house. Bernard has more belts than all the people have to hold up their pants. At this point, at 47 years old, [he] doesn't need any belts. He could have gone and fought [Beibut] Shumenov for the WBA belt. He could have gone and fought [WBO titlist Nathan] Cleverly, a youth showdown in the U.K. with huge crowds. I mean, there were so many other options, but this is what Bernard Hopkins is.
"He never turns down a challenge. Everybody felt that he was going to not fight [Dawson] again, and guess what? He always does the unexpected. He even surprises Gary Shaw and Chad Dawson. And if Gary thinks that the result of Bernard taking the fight is because of some silly ruling from the WBC, he is mistaken. And he knows that. ... Bernard wanted the fight and took the fight."
Hopkins is typically as outspoken before his fights as anyone in boxing history. For this fight, however, he has remained relatively quiet.
He has done few appearances or interviews. He did participate in a recent prefight teleconference with boxing writers.
When asked why he decided to take the rematch with Dawson, Hopkins -- who often gives intense and lengthy speeches rather than direct answers to reporter questions -- was shockingly concise.
"Because I'm a legend," he said.
In the October fight, Dawson appeared to have the edge in the brief fight. Hopkins was beginning to hold and Dawson was moving well.
On Saturday, Dawson said he hopes to pick up where he left off.
"The way the last fight ended, I could only take it as a confidence-builder because I really don't believe Bernard Hopkins was hurt," he said. "He showed that he really didn't want to be in the ring with me that night. So it's a confidence-booster for me. I want to pick up right where we left off, be the aggressor. I want to make him fight, and hopefully we can give the fans what they came to see the last time: a real fight.
"Bernard just backed up the whole time and didn't try to make the fight. I think people saw the difference between the size and the strength. It wasn't many punches landed, but I did land a good right hand in the first round and he found out that night that I was serious."
Throughout the promotion, Hopkins has been in no mood to re-litigate the events of the first bout. He knows that a loss likely would end his career, but he is also confident.
He's been here before. Remember Trinidad, Pavlik and Tarver?
"Chad Dawson can say whatever he wants, but I am not going to trash-talk this one," Hopkins said. "Everyone knows what I am capable of in the ring. They have seen it over 50 times before in the last 20-plus years. I absolutely want to prove that I can beat Chad Dawson, another guy that is almost two decades younger than me, and I am confident I will."

Duquesne University cited its law school's fourth-tier finish in U.S. News & World Report in explaining Dean Don Guter's removal, but some of what figured prominently in that showing may have been partly beyond his control.
If nothing else, the fact the magazine entered into the discussion at all illustrates the influence of these rankings, which often are scorned by college administrators for problems including subjectivity, but nonetheless are closely followed by prospective students and others.
In a phone interview, Robert Morse, who directs research for the magazine rankings, cited half a dozen criteria that figured significantly in Duquesne's low rank in March.
Three of them -- spending per student, faculty-to-student ratio, and the number of volumes and titles in the law library -- involve law school funding decisions that at a university often rest partly or in whole with central campus administration, observers say.
Duquesne spokeswoman Bridget Fare, who raised U.S. News in defending Mr. Guter's Dec. 10 removal, says it was neither the sole nor an overriding factor.
"He has been apprised of various expectations over three years," she said.
Duquesne officials say they ousted Mr. Guter for performance failings they can't specify for confidentiality reasons, but they also said the law school needs to improve its scholarship.
However, Mr. Guter and his supporters say Duquesne President Charles Dougherty harbored animus toward the dean, and that the two disagreed over matters including law school funding. In the nearly two weeks since Mr. Guter was told to resign in 24 hours or be removed, the president has faced a no-confidence vote by the undergraduate student government, criticism from the law alumni association and threats by some major donors to stop giving.
Neither Mr. Guter nor Ms. Fare dispute the U.S. News & World Report characterization of the law school, but both sides differ sharply on who is responsible.
Duquesne ranked second to last out of 184 law schools in per-student spending on instruction, library and support, Mr. Morse said. It spent 64 percent of what nearby Pitt spends.
Duquesne's law student-to-faculty ratio, at 18.2 to 1, ranked 160th, Mr. Morse said. Volumes and titles in Duquesne's law library, at 386,540, ranked 153rd.
Rounding out the six criteria were the school's 145th ranking in the median LSAT entrance exam scores; a 1.9 out of 5 possible points in a category allowing law schools to rate peers; and a 157th place in the share of the Class of 2006 employed full- or part-time nine months after graduation. It was 86.1 percent, Mr. Morse said.
Those 2006 graduates had at least one year of classes to finish when Mr. Guter arrived at Duquesne in August 2005.
With Duquesne declining to specify evaluation criteria or any promises the dean made upon his hiring, interpreting his removal is more difficult. "That's a significant unknown," Mr. Morse said.
Still, he said, concerning the school's budget, it would seem "there has to be some culpability" on the part of the central administration. Noting the relatively low per-student spending, he added, "It's hard to compete when you're spending that much less."
Ms. Fare said Duquesne actually has increased the law school's operating budget since 2005 by $3 million, or 31 percent, but that Mr. Guter during his tenure failed to spend down a surplus reaching $1.4 million, or award more than $1 million in financial aid money under his control.
"In the first class recruited by former Dean Guter, the school disregarded a planned enrollment reduction authorized by the provost," she said. "This action by the school resulted in a higher acceptance rate, lowered the overall LSAT [score] and resulted in lower expenditures per student."
Ms. Fare said a law school can raise its standing among peers, and thus its magazine ranking, through scholarly activity. But she provided an excerpt of an American Bar Association report from a 2007 law school visit, stating, "the faculty, with a few exceptions, is not publishing substantial quantities of work in the high visibility outlets that will draw national attention to the faculty's work." Duquesne did not make the entire report available.
Responding to Ms. Fare's criticisms, Mr. Guter said the provost authorized him to forgo the planned enrollment reduction in 2005-06 in order to meet budget and that the "unused" surplus is intended for a writing center. He said the unused financial aid was due to accounting practices before his arrival.
"It was broken, and I fixed it," he said. "Maybe it took me longer than they think it should have."
He said scholarship levels rose during his tenure, and that the ABA site report reflecting his tenure was more positive than earlier ones.
Former Pitt law dean David Herring said dollar allocation to law schools often is "largely university-determined," so Mr. Guter might have had limited say. It's tough for a dean to greatly affect job placement outcomes for a class graduating within a year of his arrival, or to quickly change stubbornly held opinions in the peer assessment category, Mr. Herring said.
Still, though he does not consider U.S. News rankings valid, Mr. Herring said they clearly can affect a leader's tenure. "They matter," he said.
Last week, interim law dean Ken Gormley formed an influential panel from the legal community to advise him, and in a letter to graduates he asked alumni "to continue to stand behind your law school during this difficult time."

Add me to the list that has been blown off by Mr. Wilkins. It's a shame
that he responds to only those he must deem worth. As a life member of AHS
I want to know what happens because my name is part of that organization

|Re: TC 4.0 newbie - servlet app runs now!!

Is that by design? > Mark, Congradulations, nice when things work well, I will say a few things that you can get from an excellent book Java Servlet Programming by Jason Hunter and William Crawford (O'Reilly). First, do not assume, because you will be wrong, that / is required in the mapping pattern. You are using a particular kind of mapping. Second, in answer to your question, indeed it is. I hope my last little note made that clearer. I like to keep my applications essentially dark to the outside world except in very controlled ways, so I put everything inside WEB-INF except my index.jsp and make all servlets accessible through clever, ;-) , patterns used in servlet mappings. I use a Model 2 multi-tier architecture and run EVERYTHING first through a controller servlet that monitors all outside access. A general point about web.xml and servlet tags. Servlets that you want to be registered with the server and receive special treatment get that through the web.xml. That is what the servlet tags are for. Only one example of such treatments is that we can set up URL patterns that will invoke the registered servlet. There are lots of good reasons for doing this. For example, you could use this to have a servlet preplace an existing JSP page at any given URL, so all bookmarks and links to the page continue to work. Kewl, eh? I like to use it to hide things and to thereby enhance security. You can have your servlets invoked by dinky.html, if you like. Mappings have varieties: 1. Explicit Mappings /whatever These contain no "wildcards". This is useful when replacing an existing page. 2. Path Prefix Mappings /something/database/* These maps always begint with a / and end with a /*. This allows a servlet to control an entire virtual hierarchy like a database app. 3. Extension Mappings *.wm or *.jsp These begin with * and handle all requests ending with the subsequent prefix. David Geary uses this in his app provided in the 12th chapter of his new book on taglibs in order to make sure all urls ending in .do go to his controller ActionServlet of a Model 2 architecture. 4. Default Mapping / This provides the servlet to be used if no other servlet matches. You could get the same sort of behavior by /* but this has the advantage of coming after extension mappings are done. If there are collisions, the precedence is the order indicated above. Okay, last thing. With Tomcat server, server_root/webapps/ROOT is the default context mapped to the root path "/". THIS IS IMPORTANT. ;-) This means that servlets placed under the servlets placed under the server_root/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/classes can be accessed using the path /servlet/HelloWorldExample. HOWEVER, this default context mapping can be changed and new mappings can be added by editing the server_root/conf/server.xml serverwide configuration file. Other servers handle this differently.

Any suggestions?
I got mine at the local landscape supply yard. My river rocks were about .12 cents per pound, much cheaper than buying from the LFS.
That's a great idea! I'll look into that now.

Solid State Drives (SSD) Are Amazingly Going Viral
A few years ago solid state drives (SSD) were not a so popular storage solution for most of users due to their unreasonable steep prices and the extreme limitation of capacities they provided to the extent that they were too small to even handle the operating system alongside with the basic programs alone. That time if one could get just 32GB SSD and use it in a hybrid system they would be lucky while others were starving in the traditional hard drive (HDD) space.
Diversity Of Solid State Drives
A solid-state drive (SSD) (also known as a solid-state disk though it contains no actual disk, nor a drive motor to spin a disk) is a solid-state storage device that uses integrated circuit assemblies as memory to store data persistently. Using current chips as a basis, researchers set out to gauge the state of flash technology [PDF] overall. Now when you want to get an external storage devices you can dispense with the old-fashioned external hard drives and go for the best external SSD instead. It's easy to say "SSDs make my computer fast," but understanding why they make your computer fast requires a look at the places inside a computer where data gets stored. These locations can collectively be referred to as the "memory hierarchy," and they are described in great detail in the classic Ars article "Understanding CPU Caching and Performance." They found that latency and data errors increased as drive size increased. These issues worsened to the point of making the drive too unstable somewhere around 16TB, which the researchers say we will reach sometime in the middle of the next decade. Solid state disks use either NAND flash or SDRAM (non-volatile and volatile storage respectively). NAND flash is so-called because of the NAND-gate technology it uses and is common in USB flash drives and many types of memory card. NAND flash based drives are persistent and can therefore effectively mimic a hard disk drive. Synchronous dynamic random access memory (SDRAM) is volatile and requires a separate power source if it is to operate independently from a computer. SSD technology primarily uses electronic interfaces compatible with traditional block input/output (I/O) hard disk drives, which permit simple replacements in common applications. Additionally, new I/O interfaces, like SATA Express, have been designed to address specific requirements of the SSD technology.
SSDs have no moving (mechanical) components. This distinguishes them from traditional electromechanical magnetic disks such as hard disk drives (HDDs) or floppy disks, which contain spinning disks and movable read/write heads. Making matters worse, the speed advantage that SSDs now enjoy — a common reason to chose the technology over traditional hard drives — is expected to disappear. By 2024, latency will increase by as much as 2.5 times over current rates, the study says. Compared with electromechanical disks, SSDs are typically more resistant to physical shock, run silently, have lower access time, and less latency. It's an axiom of the memory hierarchy that as one walks down the tiers from top to bottom, the storage in each tier becomes larger, slower, and cheaper. Solid state drives may be preferred over traditional disk drives for a number of reasons. The first advantage is found, as mentioned briefly above, in the speed of operation. Because hard disk drives need to be spinning for the head to read sectors of the platter, sometimes we have to wait for spin up time. With the emergence of msata SSD for thin laptops and compact systems, the diversity of SSDs advanced one more step in the way of publicity. Once the disk is spinning, the head must seek the correct place on the disk, and from there the disk must spin just enough so that the correct data is read. If data is spread over different parts of the disk (fragmented) then this operation is repeated until all the data has been read or written. While each individual operation only takes fractions of a second the sum of them may not. It is often the case that reads to and writes from the hard disk are the bottleneck in a system. The primary measure of speed we're concerned with here is access latency, which is the amount of time it takes for a request to traverse the wires from the CPU to that storage tier. Latency plays a tremendous role in the effective speed of a given piece of storage, because latency is dead time; time the CPU spends waiting for a piece of data is time that the CPU isn't actively working on that piece of data. However, while the price of SSDs has continued to decline over time, consumer-grade SSDs are still roughly six to seven times more expensive per unit of storage than consumer-grade HDDs.
Comparison With Traditional HDD
Because the information on solid state drives can be accessed immediately (technically at the speed of light) there is no latency experience when data is transferred. As of 2014, most SSDs use NAND-based flash memory, which retains data without power. For applications requiring fast access, but not necessarily data persistence after power loss, SSDs may be constructed from random-access memory (RAM). SSD for laptop computers is a common phenomenon nowadays in terms of upgrading the performance of portable computers. Such devices may employ separate power sources, such as batteries, to maintain data after power loss. Because there is no relationship between spatial locality and retrieval speed, there is no degradation of performance when data is fragmented.
At the very top of the hierarchy are the tiny chunks of working space inside a CPU where the CPU stores things it's actively manipulating; these are called registers. They are small—only a few hundred bytes total—and as far as memory goes, they have the equivalent of a Park Avenue address. This is definitely a roadblock that looks unavoidable, but there are plenty of technologies in the works that could take the place of flash storage. One possibility is 3D memory, a technology that has been around for the better part of the last decade. 3D seems to be the future in memory, and there are several companies currently working to make it a reality. They have the lowest latency of any segment of the entire memory hierarchy—the electrical paths from the parts of the CPU doing the work to the registers themselves are unfathomably tiny, never even leaving the core portion of the CPU's die. Getting data out in and out of a register takes essentially no time at all.
Consequences of the increased speed of writes for fragmented data include a much decreased application start up time: SanDisk, for instance, claim to have achieved Windows Vista start up times of around 30 seconds for a laptop with its SSD SATA 5000 2.5.
Different Types Of Solid State Drives (SSD)
Solid-state drive (SSD) has become a very popular and well renowned storage subsystem that features a viable alternative to the widely-used traditional hard disk drive (HDD) which is based in its architecture and functionality on mechanical operations to perform the requested mission. Solid state drive on the other hand is way different although its use purpose is quite the same which is storing data and make them available once required, but with a speed up to 4 times greater than mechanical hard drives.

Using a Hybrid Hard Drive (SSHD) For Gaming
In the past, particularly a decade ago, there was only one type of storage device with which users can configure their system, and that was the traditional mechanical hard disk drive (aka HDD). In 2007 a new alternative, yet very expensive, storage solution emerged and presented itself as a super-fast replacement for the currently commonly-used mechanical drives. In the early years of SSD emergence, they were unbelievably expensive to the extent that only rich people can obtain one for their computers.

Will A Fast Storage Medium Enhance Gaming Experience?
In the pursuit to enhance video gaming experience there are many gamers who think that with obtaining the fastest storage medium for their gaming computer they will get, in return, a better and more flexible gaming experience that will make them better enjoy their games. But with putting this claim into experiment, the resulting fact is not as they want to know. There have been many reports published online that state that the high-end storage device where the game files are installed will only increase the gaming performance a little bit, just by loading the game files faster and that's all. Otherwise, the frame rate and clearance of the image will not increase at all as that's the responsibility of the graphics card and the CPU.

Here are some of the most significant bugs from the past week in the BugBlog.
Bad programming on a government web site is allowing a phishing scheme to look more legitimate than it really is. If you receive an email that says it is from the IRS, and click on a link, you will be passed through the govbenefits.gov website and then sent to the fraudulent site, where they try to get your Social Security and tax return data. Be wary about any email that says it is sending you to govbenefits.gov, which is an amalgamation of different government agencies trying to ease access to e-government.
With an unpatched bug in Microsoft Internet Explorer now being called "worse than expected", now is a good time to note that Mozilla Firefox 1.5 is going to be released today.

Your Views for November 20
Drug culture
The movement to legalize marijuana in Hawaii is a joke. Today, the movement seems to be a one-trick pony purporting the magical tax benefits. But, from what I have seen of the hippie culture on the Big Island, I can already foresee the community turning into a culture of drug users and tax evaders.
I was horrified when I moved to the Big Island after years on Oahu and saw that beautiful historic downtown Hilo had become a learning institution for growers and users, and I was shocked to see dirty bums begging for money to support their habit.
At one point, I thought this backpacking culture was good for tourism; now, I see that it has brought nothing but pilau to the area. They seem to want to take, take, take but have yet to do anything for the greater good.
I ask these people, what have you done to better life on this island? What have you done to support the host culture and preserve these beautiful islands? What have you done to keep Hawaii a very special, beloved and unique place? What has this subculture done to improve life on the Big Island?
So, if your mantra will continue to be tax benefits, I say move to one of the states where they will accept your drug-smoking ways, and leave Hawaii so us Hawaiians can malama the 'aina and keep Hawaii the beautiful place that is.

Too conservative
Columnist Bill O'Reilly's personal note to President Obama was typical O'Reilly (Tribune-Herald, Nov. 12).
O'Reilly, you and other fanatic hosts — like Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity and, of course, the king of them all, Rush Limbaugh — always will have top ratings as long as illogical listeners and viewers are crazy enough to be allowed to be talked down to.
So many good things were accomplished under President Obama in four years in office. Name one thing the previous president did, other than keep your taxes low?
O'Reilly, tone down the better-than-thou attitude, and I may go back to watching you.

Insulting letter
In response to Pradeepta Chowdhury's letter (Tribune-Herald, Nov. 14): In this letter, Dr. Chowdhury managed to insult 50 percent of the U.S. population, Caucasians, by calling them "wanna-be-white, affluent, mostly white, less educated, blue-collar workers, and warmongers."
Apparently he has a problem with Christians, also. I wonder if the good doctor refers to his white patients this way?
When writing his letter, I think Dr. Chowdhury may have been under the influence of Indian hashish while waiting for his next patient. Therefore, he is forgiven.
