Proffitt, Nicholas. The Embassy House. New York: Bantam, 1986.
For more than a decade, Nicholas Proffitt served as a correspondent and a bureau chief for Newsweek in many locations around the globe, including "hot spots" such as Saigon and Beirut. He has won awards for his reporting on the Arab-Israeli conflict and on the fall of Saigon to the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese. The experience he acquired during his three years in Saigon provided the basis for his first two novels: Gardens of Stone, which is a military novel, and The Embassy House, a very accomplished espionage novel.
The Embassy House focuses on the C.I.A.'s Phoenix Program. Operatives are charged with raiding Vietnamese villages, interrogating suspected Viet Cong and their sympathizers, and summarily executing anyone they have reason to believe may be in the Viet Cong leadership. To head the program, the C.I.A. recruits a Green Beret captain named Jake Gulliver, who is code-named "Sandman" in recognition of his proficiency and stealth in killing the enemy. But from the start, Gulliver is uneasy with the expediency displayed and tolerated by his C.I.A. supervisor, Bennett Steelman. When one of Steelman's proteges, whom he has been grooming to replace Gulliver, participates in the impulsive torture and murder of a South Vietnamese man who has no connection whatsoever to the Viet Cong, Gulliver attempts to force the issue with a public hearing on the incident. Steelman, however, prefers to order the elimination of his protégé and of several Vietnamese who had participated in the potentially scandalous incident. Seeing no way to ethically accommodate the corrosive effect of self-interest on strategy and policy that Steelman exemplifies, Gulliver resigns and leaves Vietnam.
Roberts, James Hall. Dragons at the Gate. New York: Morrow, 1975.
James Hall Roberts was the pseudonym of Robert Lipscomb Duncan, who has taught television writing at the University of California at Irvine, fiction writing at Chapman College in Orange, California, and journalism at the University of Oklahoma School of Professional Writing. In addition to novels, he has written short stories and has a long list of television credits. Under his own name, Lipscomb has written topical suspense novels that take their start in an inventive twist on a common preconception. As Roberts, he has produced espionage novels in the "maverick" mold.
In Dragons at the Gate, the main character is a C.I.A. operative in Japan, who discovers that he has been targeted by his own employers. Suddenly, after years of working within and relying on the agency, he can no longer trust anyone in it, and he has to rely instead on his own small circle of personal friends and acquaintances who have no connection to the intelligence community. Relying on his own skills and rediscovering his core strength of character, he manages to outmaneuver those who are after him and to ruin their careers while securing his own safety, and his pension as well.
Rostand, Robert. The Killer Elite. New York: Delacorte, 1973.
Robert Sidney Hopkins has been employed in academia, in the corporate world, and in the diplomatic service. Under his own name he has produced two mainstream novels, a novel for young adults, and several books of nonfiction. Under the pseudonym Robert Rostand, he has produced seven suspense novels, most of which can be put in the espionage category.
Rostand's most acclaimed work has been The Killer Elite, which was adapted into a hard-nosed film directed by Sam Peckinpah and starring James Caan and Robert Duvall. The main character, named Locken, works for SYOPS, a fictional clandestine security arm of the U.S. State Department. During his last assignment, one of the world's most ruthless assassins has maimed Locken. Barely adjusted, physically or psychologically, to his new limitations, Locken is asked to escort an African leader safely out of London before one of the multiple killers hired to eliminate him is able to find his mark. Locken is so preoccupied in proving his fitness–for duty and for life in general—that it takes him a while to realize that there are covert reasons why he was selected for the assignment.

Just tilt, for weather that suits your mood!
No more BBQs or garden party washouts – literally. Thanks to the tilting slats you will be prepared for all weather conditions, all year round.
In bright sunlight you can position the slats according to the position of the sun. If it is raining, just tilt the slats into a flat position. Integrated gutters will ensure the rainwater is drained away. Simple.
Want even more comfort?
Then choose glass walls to completely close off your Umbris. Enjoy your terrace all year round, even in winter. With the SL400 side wind and sun awning you are protected against wind or bright sunlight.
A genuine Belgian product
The aluminium Umbris slatted roof is a genuine Belgian product: this includes the design, the production and the installation by our own team of enthusiastic experts. As a result, we can supply a range of different versions in terms of size and finish. A tailor-made solution guaranteed!
Umbris can be free-standing, fitted to the façade, or built in to existing roofs, ideal for pool houses. Thanks to its well thought-out design, the slatted roof harmonizes perfectly with the existing style of the house. Umbris can also be supplied with lighting and heating. The effect: a unique design resulting in an elegant and high-quality construction.
So much more than Umbris
Umbris is Latin for shade, a name that was not chosen randomly, and it offers many more benefits apart from shade. The slatted roof ensures that the adjacent spaces do not become overheated. And the natural ventilation with slightly tilted slats is also a huge advantage.
The combination of a simple and timeless design ensures that Umbris comes into its own in both modern and classic houses. It will not cause a sudden change in style when attached to an existing house. Also, owing to its construction, it can be extended with wall elements such as wooden or plastic walls to increase the level of privacy. There is also a choice of wind resistant screens for protection against the wind, yet without losing your view.
And in addition to comfort, the technical aspects have not been forgotten. For example, there is a perfect drainage system and there are several options for the electrical fixtures.
Thanks to Harol's low-cost colour policy, i.e. all colours, both RAL and textured paints, are a standard price, Umbris can be perfectly integrated into the environment.
"A subtle mix of functionality and design" is the perfect description for a free-standing Umbris. This timeless creation can also be incorporated into any environment or is perfect when free-standing. Apart from its purely functional aspect as a canopy, this free-standing Umbris product immediately creates an intimate and cosy atmosphere. Or how Umbris invites you 'to experience the Umbris effect'.

Use this outdoor post light pole for direct burial installations around driveways, garden pathways, patio areas and more.More Details >
Complete your outdoor lighting collection by pairing this pole with your outdoor post light mount. In bronze finish over cast aluminum. 84" high direct burial post.
Customers most agreed on the following attributes:
Matched the lamp perfectly for a nice lamppost. Sturdy and straight.
got exactly what I wanted in short time
I love these lights! They are well built and the light post is required in our neighborhood. It is holding up very well over the years since it was installed.
The color match with the compatible fixture used is right on the money!!! It looks like it will stay looking like new for many years.
Looks great but doesn't quite match the bronze lights that go with it.
This pole design was perfect for the post light we used!
Would be nice to have an option for a base with it.
looks great whith the light I purchased for my front walkway.

The shadow of death passes by
Looking for wanderers outside late,
Nonchalantly strolling homeward bound
Unaware of how they are tempting fate.
The homeless and those far from home
Slink along the streets at night,
As a dark shadow falls upon them
Soon they're feeling death's vile bite.
The homeless stand around a brazier
Down dark alleyways and lanes,
Hoping just to live the night out
Unknowing that death is on its way.
A shadow passes across those sleeping
And no-one sleeping does awaken,
Though many here lay down to sleep
Very few will ever rise again.
A brazier topples and the fire races
Across the long and sun-dried grass,
Sleeping men too slow to awaken
Sleeping die, while a shadow goes past.
Only charcoal is now remaining
Where twelve good men lay down to sleep,
Too late a fire-truck pulls up nearby
As away death's shadow slowly creeps
A shadow slinks along the sidewalk
At the commencement of twilight,
Lovers out strolling, arm-in-arm
About to reach the end of life:
Blackness overwhelms the lovers
Like a blanket thrown by death,
Gasping, crying, screaming, dying
The couple pass their final breath:
A sweeper passing by the verge
In the minutes just after dawn,
Discovers the lovers' ashen remains
Bloodless, lifeless, in the early morn:
The aroma of death surrounds the place
As gawping passers stop and stare,
But death's shadow most surely has passed on
To avoid the sun's unwavering glare.

Looks like I should have done a clobber and all before checking the last change in. Some things that were compiling under jdk14 but should have been (and are now) compiling under 1.3 now need JTA in the classpath. Fix checked in with revision 395663. This side-compile of XAResourceManager should probably be moved out into a separate target so that we aren't adding JTA to a target based on compile.classpath, but for now I'm just adding JTA to the target where it's being side-compiled.

General Admission
How was your experience?
We tried to really like this comedy show but it was really so unprofessional. Unfortunately we didn't realize the early show was for children and families so the material was geared towards that audience. We'll stick with Second City for our comedy.

During any given tenancy, there are many common situations things will arise, such as needing to enter a unit. In addition, special circumstances may come up that you need to deal with, like an appliance breaking down, or a tenant's failure to pay rent. That is why it is important to establish a positive relationship with your tenant from the start. It's going to make everything a lot easier if the lines of communication are open from the beginning of their tenancy.
Maintaining Your Unit
Your lease agreement should clearly outline the tenant's responsibilities for maintaining the unit. Be sure that during the lease signing, you go over those responsibilities as well as your expectations for the upkeep of the property. That being said, it's important that you understand what is required of you in maintaining your rental property and that you are doing regular property inspections. In this section, you will find more information about maintenance checklists as well as timelines for completing repairs as required by law.
Issuing Notices
The Revised Code of Washington, Title 59, clearly governs the issuance of notices to your tenant during their tenancy. Whether your tenant is late paying rent, failing to comply with the terms of the rental agreement or you simply need to enter the unit, there are laws that tell you exactly how many days' notice you need to provide and how you must serve these notices.

Medicare Supplemental Insurance is also known as a "Medigap Planâ€
Medigap is the official name applied to healthcare plans commonly known as Medicare Supplements. The Medigap Insurance Plans augment the gaps in standard health coverage that are not covered by Medicare Part A and Medicare Part B and are made to fit with Medicare like a key fits into a lock.
A Medigap Insurance Plan is not an substitute for Original Medicare like Medicare Advantage Policy, but instead works together with Original Medicare. Also, Medigap Plans are different from Medicare Advantage because they have no co-pays, no deductibles, and no worries about being "in nework" as to where you can receive medical treatment..
If you enroll in the recommended Medicare Supplemental Insurance Medicare Supplemental Insurance Plan for example, a Medicare Supplement Plan F you will never have a need to pay a single dollar when you undergo medicare care in a physician's office, specialty treatment center or hospital that accepts standard Medicare.
When you choose Medicare Supplement Plan F, if your doctor or hospital bills are enormous , you will never have to pay a dime for doctor or hospital bills as long as Medicare greenlights a penny of the charges.
Medicare Supplemental Rates: How they work
Whenever you want medical treatment with a specialty treatment center, doctor or hospital, you only have to show your Medigap Insurance card to the doctor, hospital or specialty treatment center. Everything then will be taken care of for you.
Fact is,, when your claim is submitted with Medicare for Medicare Part B charges, Medicare most likely will ship your claim simply to your Medicare Supplemental Provider without you needing to do anything. Then your Medigap Provider processes the claim, ordinarily without ever needing human assistance

To review, if you pick a Medicare Supplement Insurance Plan F from our company, you won't ever get leftover health care bills to pay for.

And, we never, ever charge you for our services.
Medicare Supplemental Insurance Policies: Why purchase through our company?
If you are on Medicare, you're possibly facing tough final decisions about enrolling the correct Medigap Policy and you're possibly duped by Medicare Advantage salespeople.

What's more that is not all we can do. Have you ever tried to enroll in an insurance policy like a Medicare Supplement Policy? A lot of patients, are often denied coverage or received restrictions on their policy that they didn't see coming only after they had paid the first premium. There will be frustrating hassles receiving the money you put down for the first premium or getting enrolled in other suitable Medicare Insurance Plan or other plans.
It's our job to keep this from happening to you.

Awkward Rule #249: Wearing a condiment.
These are totally the costumes that Charlotte and Mr. Collins wore in episode fifty-nine of The Lizzie Bennet Diaries. Awesome.
Oh man… I was gonna do this.. I was gonna dress my dacshund up as a hot dog, my daughter as a hot dog vendor and me and her dad as mustard and ketchup… It will be hilarious and than I will submit our picture here!!
Leave them alone! They're in love!!
Oh! Relish the thought!
The guy sitting down against the wall sure is having a great time – not!
I think they're cute!
Condiments. Always practice a safe lunch.
LMbuttO at the Sue Shi comment….
I like the costume of the girl in the back who just wrapped herself in a small b;anket and wrote oon a piece of papr "Sushi" lol.
"Yeah, we've been best friends since the sandwich convention. I saw the perfect way her bottle-cap tilted, and we just started to hang out!"
What about the lady in the back w/ the sushi sign…hilarious!
Hey, you got your ketchup in my mustard!
Hey, you got your mustard in my ketchup!
(I'm thinking of the wholesome old Reese's commercial here, nothing more!)
Why is everyone at this party dressed as food?
There were over 60 people there. They just happened to get a picture with the two couples that were dressed as food. The guy and girl in the back right are dressed as a hunter and a deer, lol.
Wow, this is really embarrassing. I'm just sitting around minding my own business when someone sends me a link to this! I want to know who wants to show my awkwardness to the whole world! Yes, I am the Ketchup. We were at our church's Halloween party and no, it wasn't food themed.
I think it's cute. It made me happy when I was catching up on this site and saw someone I know!
What church holds a **Halloween** party these days!?? I want to go to YOUR church, cos it sounds cool…I love H'Ween.
Was it a FOOD costume party? 'Cause I see some Sushi in the background there… O.O
If they are wearing a "condiment," then what are they practicing,. . . Safe _____?
Ok this was freaky! I know these people I went to their wedding two years ago.
Hi Claire!!
Is it bad that I have the mustard costume? And that I, too, wore it out in public?
Hold the pickle, hold the lettuce, special orders don't upset us, we just want you to have it your way!!!!!!!
You know your sotume is bad when you have to wear a sign telling what you are supposed to be (ya, I'm talking to you sushi girl)
What's a "sotume?"
A sushi costume.
Sotume: A sushi costume.
Sushi definetly isn't a girl.
Nothing a compound bow can't solve!
This has to be the 'sauciest' picture I have ever seen 😉
good grief, jeff.
Mustard appears to have a ketchup stain
Actually, it's chili. I should know, I'm the Ketchup!!
I'll bet if they turn their shirts inside-out they say "Yellow Crayon" and "Red Crayon"
I bet you squeeze mustard really really hard ketchup will come out his top.
its like an infomercial…."TWO….TWO…..TWO COSTUMS IN ONE ALL FOR THE LOW LOW PRICE OF 19.95″
I want these guys number, I have a killer Mayonaise outfit that I've been dieing to try.
Omg i love this! Hahaha
I'm more interested in the woman in the back. Is she sushi?
If you have to be a condiment- don't be generic.
I LOVE this picture. Look how much fun they have! great 🙂
the asian girl in the back is a sushi.
No, that's her name. Sue Shi.
Is everyone at this soiree dressed as food? I see sushi against the wall on the left.
ummm hello, it's a costume party! I say fun, not awkward…..
it's a food theme'd halloween party. I like the half-a$$ed attempt at the sushi roll in the background complete with note book paper label!!
That sushi roll is definetly not half-a$$ed.
…mhhhmm – i´m speechless…
Now that's just disturbingly awkward.
If they get frisky later, I hope they use a condiment.
Wait… That joke was already made as part of Awkward Rule #249. Awkward First/FAIL.
Do you think he asked her to "hold the pickle?"
yes, and she relished it
O.K….this pair of comments is the best I've read on this site so far! Beautiful teamwork, Mary & grimey!!!
I can't breath, please!
The best ever! I CANT BREATHE!!!! Classic!
that is so funny, first im laughing so much and loud…i woke my 4yr up and now she's wanting to know why im crying…….!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok, I get the matchy matchy cute couple costume….I DON"T get the "Egg (*something*) Sushi" costume in the back….wth?
It says "egg (tamago) sushi" and it's a much better costume than it may look on first glance, if you then know what she's actually trying to dress as.
If it's such a great costume why does it need a label
'cause not everyone eats sushi…duh
"psst…you'd look great on my hot dog!!"
Sure they both look happy and are smiling now…but remember what happened at the last party when Salsa showed up.
Ketchup called Salsa a tramp and a floozy. Mustard had to run after Ketchup and explain to Ketchup that it was a one-time thing and he still loves her. Gee let's hope those swingers Salt and Pepper don't show up.
They thought it was a love so strong that it would never end.
And then honey came along, casting ketchup aside into the fast-food waste bin of broken hearts.
Lol!!! Very cute comment!
that caption is priceless
Sweeeeet! A little condiment born to this spicy union would be Thousand Island?
Only if their hats have holes

Netflix is offering a more accessible price plan for those not willing to shell out for its traditional $7.99/month plan. The streaming service is now introducing a $6.99/month plan as its cheapest available for those who don't mind some of its drawbacks.
Unlike the traditional plan, this cheaper one only offers a single stream on one device at a time, and that stream will be in standard definition. While that might seem like a fair tradeoff, it is only one dollar more to get HD video and streaming available on two devices at the time.
This comes after Netflix introduced some more expensive price models, including a "family" plan at $11.99/month that allows up to four programs to be streamed simultaneously in HD on different devices. A $9.99/month price plan is also being tested that offers three simultaneous streams in HD.
The $6.99/month plan is only being offered to a select number of people, AdWeek reports. A spokesperson says, "We always are testing new things and this is a test for a $6.99 single stream plan. Not all people will see this option and it may not be something we ever offer generally."
Would you try out this cheaper Netflix option?

The European Parliament's Subcommittee on Human Rights (DROI) visited the Socialist Republic of Vietnam 20 - 24 February. The main aim of the visit was to engage in a constructive dialogue with the Vietnamese authorities and to assess the human rights situation in the country. The delegation was headed by the Chair of the Subcommittee, Mr Panzeri. The Subcommittee issued a press release at the end of its visit.
The Chairs of the European Parliament's Committee on Foreign Affairs and the Subcommittee on Human Rights, David McAllister (EPP, DE) and Pier Antonio Panzeri (S&D, IT) respectively, expressed their grave concern about and solidarity with Venezuelan opposition leader Leopoldo López after the Supreme Court ruled to uphold the decision sentencing him to 14 years imprisonment. For the full statement see below.
The European Parliament's Subcommittee on Human Rights will go to Vietnam from 20-24 February 2017 and the main objective of the DROI mission is to assess the human rights situation in the country. The DROI delegation, composed of Pier Antonio Panzeri, Head of the Delegation, S&D; Lars Adaktusson, EPP; Adam Kosa, EPP; Soraya Post, S&D; David Martin, S&D and Beatriz Becerra Basterrechea, ALDE, will hold meetings with National Assembly committees, government ministries, UN agencies, and NGOs.
The US administration's ban on citizens from seven Muslim-majority states entering the country could "seriously undermine current global efforts towards a fair international sharing of responsibilities for refugees", said Development and Foreign Affairs MEPs in a joint resolution voted on Tuesday.

Welcome to the Subcommittee on Human Rights (DROI) of the European Parliament.
The Subcommittee's main responsibilities include all matters relating to human rights, the protection of minorities and the promotion of democratic values while its geographical remit covers countries outside the EU.

Emery out first which is a bad sign. No Mason. Just Cal Heeter
— Tim Panaccio (@tpanotchCSN) April 16, 2014
Steve Mason was injured over the weekend with what is speculated to be a concussion. Ray Emery and rookie Cal Heeter are the only goalies at Flyers practice today. Yesterday, Mason briefly skated but left after only 15 minutes.
Confirmed, Emery will start with Heeter backing up tomorrow in Game 1.

One of the most interesting slides, I thought, in Mary Meeker's Internet Trends 2011 post was the eleventh – technology adoption curves in the twentieth-ish century in the US.
A few thoughts, still scattered:
1. This chart makes it seem recessions have little to do with technology adoption in the US. Even though the technologies tracked on the chart seems incomplete – what about the 1970s? – adoption seems to keep on goin' regardless of macro-level economic trends. Could this be because tech adoptions is "even more macro" than a macroeconomic condition?
2. Are we really to believe there was no "new" technology diffusion between 1950 and 1990? I thought this was the US's Golden Age of Growth. (Should we include penicillin, nuclear power, or desktop computers on this chart?)
3. The fast rise of TV is even more striking when compared with the seemingly-slower rises of desktop internet and mobile internet.
4. We're only at 80% (desktop) internet penetration after ~20 years. By contrast, radio twenty years in was probably around 82% and TV at 95%. It's striking because it's slow, and it's striking because I'm myopic – I look around and see Facebook and Twitter icons and just assume everyone in the US has internet. In fact, one out of five people don't have internet access.
5. There's all sorts of feel-good reasons to protect public libraries in the US, but I increasingly believe their free internet access (shared desktops and wifi) might be the most important. I'd put money on shared desktops being the most heavily-used resource in any urban library; I'd put even more money on the most-accessed site being YouTube.
6. It's been less than a decade, granted, but mobile internet penetration is a paltry ~58% – and this is when manufacturers seem to be giving away devices. The service layer still seems to matter.
7. Let's say there are 312 million Americans today. That means there's approximately 187 million mobile internet users and 250 million desktop internet users. Meeker's presentation has all sorts of stats from countries beside the US – the crux, basically, is that while there's many people online today, "we ain't seen nothin' yet."
8. Half the people who don't have access to desktop internet don't have access to mobile internet – okay, that's credible perhaps – but there's an equivalent number of people who don't have access to mobile internet but do have access to the desktop internet. How many of these people do we think are under 18? Over 65? Or more concerning: how many are between the ages of 5 and 60 (very many), and how many will need to use the internet in the workforce (very very many, I'd assume)?
9. Why do we care so much about technology adoption? Well, it's interesting for it's own sake, and yes, large markets imply potential profits for entrepreneurs and investors. On a broader public-policy level, there's some evidence of persistent effects: Diego Comin, Bill Easterly, and Erick Gong tried to show that technology adoption in 1500 explains some of the wealth of nations today. It's an admittedly tall task, but there's much that's intuitive (but not inevitable) about the conclusion.
10. Despite the gloomy picture I painted above, Meeker's chart actually makes me optimistic. We're actually quite early in the internet technology adoption cycle, and there's likely a whole lot more to come.

Aunts, uncles and grandparents have been stuffing banknotes into the birthday and Christmas cards of their loved ones for as long as cash has existed. But in the 21st century as Britain's postal service has turned from one of the most dependable, to one of the world's least reliable there is understandably an increasing trepidation when it comes to putting cash, or even shopping vouchers and book tokens, into the mail.
The good news is that, with the introduction of so-called prepaid cards over the past few years, there is now a relatively simple and much safer alternative.
Prepaid cards look, and can be used, in exactly the same way as debit cards. However, they're perfectly secure to send in the mail, as they can only be activated with a special code. The gift giver can either send this separately, or give the recipient a call to let them know the code in person. Either way, if the card goes missing in the post, any money loaded on to it will be safe.
Prepaid gift cards can usually be loaded with between 1 and 500, and some such as the Mint ( www.mint.co.uk) or Barclays gift cards ( www.barclaysgiftcard.co.uk) can have a personalised message added to the front of the card. Furthermore, Mint, like some other cards, also allows the recipient to receive free text updates letting them know how much is left on a card once they have started spending on it. The Mint and Barclays gift cards are both usable at any store that accepts Visa Electron, which is the majority of retailers.
Some gift cards can only be loaded with money once, and so are useless once the balance has been spent. While it is also possible to buy reloadable prepaid cards, these are generally designed for a different market, and tend to come with a range of additional fees and charges. The only charge with gift cards is the one-off purchase cost typically between 2 and 5.
Sandra Quinn of Apacs, the card industry's trade body, says one other advantage of prepaid gift cards over good old-fashioned banknotes is that they can be educational. Unlike debit and credit cards, there are no minimum age limits for recipients. So, they can be a good way of giving young adolescents their first introduction to using cards.
"They provide an opportunity for children to get used to using cards and managing their money," she says.
Although prepaid gift cards are expected to multiply over the next few years, and are already very popular in the US, there are still relatively few available in the UK. Aside from the Barclays and Mint offerings, most of the remainder are specialist ones available inside large shopping malls, such as the Trafford Centre in Manchester, or Bullring in Birmingham and these tend to be activated at the point of purchase, so are not secure to send in the mail.
If you're happy for the recipient of your gift to be limited to spending their money on the internet, another alternative and secure way of gifting cash is to use a virtual pre-paid card, available from 3V.
These can be bought from retailers, and are effectively prepaid debit cards but without the physical piece of plastic that goes in your wallet. When you put money into a 3V account, you are given a receipt with a temporary Visa debit card number on it. The security code and expiry date are then texted to your phone so if you're giving a gift, all you need to do is forward the text on to the recipient, and send the receipt in the post.
Once your relative has got all the numbers, they can use them just like a normal debit card to make purchases on the internet or over the phone. For more details, and to find a retailer in your area that offers 3V, visit www.3vcash.com.
If you'd rather send your loved ones vouchers or tokens from a specific retailer, there are some, such as the Ticketmaster gift card ( www.ticketmaster.co.uk/giftcards), which also require activation codes, giving them the same level of security as other pre-paid cards.
Most, however, are active from the moment you buy them, so if they go astray in the post, the credit you put on them will be lost. Arcadia, which owns Top Shop, Burton and Dorothy Perkins, offers free protection against loss or theft, on the condition that you register your card once you've bought it.
Beware the store card trap
If, like most people, you decide to head out to the shops to buy your relative's Christmas presents this year, avoid the temptation of being persuaded to take out a store card unless you're sure you've got the discipline to pay off the entire balance within a month of your purchases.
According to Uswitch.com, the comparison site, Christmas shopping on store cards costs UK consumers about 900m more in interest than shopping on credit cards. The average store card APR is 26 per cent, with many charging interest as high as 30 per cent. In contrast, the average credit card APR is 16 per cent, and it is still possible to get personal loans for under 10 per cent if you've got a good credit history.
"People are typically lured into store card 'deals' at the checkout because they will get a small discount on the purchase being made," says Mike Naylor of Uswitch.com. "In most cases, this discount will be completely negated by the high levels of interest incurred by those who do not pay the balance off in full every month. More importantly, a busy checkout in a department store is not the best location to allow people to make an informed financial decision and read the small print before signing up.
"The number of these cards in circulation has almost doubled over the past five years, which is why consumers really need to wake up to this money trap."

To the Editor:
My father (a retired TV and radio jingle singer) and I (a former music producer and engineer) have been discussing pop music's melisma plague (we are grateful to finally have a name for it!) for years. Assuming that all pop culture trends reflect the tastes of the consuming public, we are left pondering why listeners once fond of artists (Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder) who used melisma sparingly now appear to prefer artists (Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Tyrese) who overuse it to the point of extinguishing its expressive power. Is this just another version of mainstream America thinking that the Olive Garden serves fine Italian cuisine?

From the perspective of Atlantic Yards critics, the plan to develop the West Side yards (aka Hudson Yards) is inevitably superior, because it starts with an RFP rather than an anointed developer.
And indeed, Gov. Eliot Spitzer this week told the New York Observer:
We are pleased with the bids as they came in—in terms of the magnitude financially, the scale of the proposals, the creativity, the involvement of some of our most prominent real estate companies and private-sector employers who want to site headquarters there. … It reflects and justifies our confidence that if we did an RFP [request for proposals] for that site, we could elicit great response.
But critics have already offered several cautions. In New York magazine, Justin Davidson warned that finance will trump design, and New York Times architecture critic Nicolai Ouroussoff called it a "grim referendum on the state of large-scale planning in New York City."
A tough critique
And yesterday, Wall Street Journal (and former New York Times) architecture critic Ada Louise Huxtable, in a review headlined The Hudson Yards Proposals: Plenty of Glitz, Little Vision, was harsh, writing that only two of the five design teams "appear to have thought about it beyond the standard investment model blown up to gargantuan scale." (She never wrote about Atlantic Yards.)
And she was sardonic about the opportunity for public input and public presentations, calling it a "charade." She wrote:
We continue to find the spectacle of developers' promotional and political savvy riveting, knowing that success will depend on the deal and not the design.
The Extell bid
She observed:
Only two of the five proposals being considered are worth talking about. Extell Development's submission, by the architect Steven Holl, could have the unity, character and potential beauty of a Rockefeller Center, and it is unique in this respect. The scheme flies in the face of the current cant about pluralism and diversity and proves once again that architecture is about vision and ideas. While the other proposals include a massive truss over the yards that is meant to support the new construction, Mr. Holl substitutes a suspension deck. (The trains will continue to run underneath.) This bridge-like deck carries the lesser weight (and expense) of a park, while the structures surrounding it, handsomely grouped for views of the Empire State Building and the Hudson River, can be built on solid ground. You have to admire Excell's courage in going with a single gifted architect and putting all its chips on design.
(Graphics from New York Times)
Note that the conventional critique is that large projects deserve multiple architects so they don't look like projects, and even Frank Gehry wanted to bring in others for Atlantic Yards, but was stymied by his client. Ouroussoff in 2005 thought the one-architect model for AY worked well, though he's tempered his opinions.
The Brookfield bid
Huxtable also likes the plan that was introduced publicly not by an architect but by a noted landscape architect:
The plan offered by Brookfield Properties is the work of Skidmore, Owings and Merrill and the landscape firm Field Operations... The fine environmental hand of Field Operations is easy to discern. The planning process starts with the nature of the site, addressing the huge variations in elevation from street to platform to waterfront, changes in grade that create a formidable barrier to the city around it. This is not easy to read in the models or in the other proposals with their emphasis on hype and heavyweight names.
Continuing the local streets through the site establishes the connective tissue. Instead of treating landscape as leftover space between buildings, Field Operations makes it the unifying factor, softening transitions and tying everything together. Recognizing Chelsea to the south, the plan connects the 30th Street frontage to existing neighborhood fabric and scale, with the High Line, the elevated park-in-progress on the abandoned train bed that skirts the area, incorporated as part of the action.
Government failure
Huxtable criticizes the city and public agencies (MTA, ESDC) for failing to plan for the West Side in general, "from Penn Station and Madison Square Garden to the Javits Center."
Her conclusion:
The disposition of public land is expedited on the developers' terms even though the land is the most powerful negotiating tool of all -- something so valuable in New York that builders would kill for it -- and the Hudson Yards are an estimated $7 billion prize. It is accepted that whatever the plans are for these vast tracts of squandered opportunity, they will ultimately be controlled, compromised, or scuttled by the winner of the financial contest that is at the heart of the matter. New York will continue to sell itself short all the way to the bank.
Imagine what she might have said about a project without even an RFP.

Russian Embassy in Libya attacked
Associated Press
TRIPOLI, Libya — An armed mob broke into the Russian Embassy compound in the Libyan capital Tripoli Wednesday after a Russian woman was accused of killing a Libyan air force pilot, and one of the attackers was killed by random gunfire, Libyan officials said. The Russian Foreign Ministry said none of the embassy staff was wounded.
The Libyan official said the attackers climbed the walls of the embassy compound from three different directions, firing in the air, and broke down its metal gate. The shooting wounded five, one of whom later died.
An attack last year on a U.S. compound in the eastern city of Benghazi killed the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans.
The official said the attackers also brought down the Russian flag hanging in the balcony of one of the buildings. But the attackers didn't enter the embassy buildings, he said, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to the media.
Russia's Foreign Ministry Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova confirmed the attack, saying that according to preliminary information no one among the embassy personnel was wounded.
The attackers were apparently reacting to the killing of a Libyan air force pilot Tuesday. Libyan authorities apprehended a Russian woman, accusing her of killing the pilot, then writing offensive graffiti in his blood. The woman later went on to stab and wound the pilot's mother, authorities say. Her alleged motives were not clear. In the graffiti scribbled on the walls, she allegedly expressed sentiments against the Libyan uprising that drove longtime leader Moammar Gadhafi from power.
after an eight-month civil war in 2011.
Libya has been hit by a months-long wave of targeted killings against activists, judges and security agents.
On Wednesday, gunmen in Benghazi shot dead a naval officer and his 7-year-old son before fleeing the scene. Most killings are presumed to be the work of armed factions, often acting out of revenge.

Expected: "restart required" is shown
There was a docs issue to change the description for the reconfiguration of these attributes.
"Restart required" is a hard requirement and is not always necessary.
Any of the following actions will also work.
1) Applications that refer the resource/pool can be re-deployed
2) Applications that refer the resource/pool can be disabled and then enabled (re-enabled)
3) Only when some-one does not know which applications are using the resource, restart is required so that the applications can start using re-configured resource/pool.
I have requested for the above docs changes and is made available now :
Marking this as not an issue as "Restart required" is not always needed.
It's important to show "restart required" indication, when listed connector connection pool properties are changed - so that the user is aware that the changes are not yet effective.
Updated Deployment Guide, Page 130 says: "Changing the following attributes (listed in a table c-36) 'requires a server restart' or the redeployment or disabling and re-enabling of applications... "
Admin Guide also says that the server must be restarted for changes in listed connector connection pool properties to take effect.
Reopening the issue - Approved by Nazrul.
Docs changes in "deployment guide" is in-place.
Refer the comment by id "jagadish-7"
Docs changes are needed in "Administration Guide" > "Configuration changes that require restart".
Sub-section :
"Modifying the following connector connection pool properties"
We need to add a foot-note :
It is not always required to restart the server for changing any of these connection pool attributes or properties.
After re-configuring of the pool, user can disable and enable application(s) that use the pool or redeploy the application(s) that use the pool.
Only when application(s) that refer the pool is not known to the administrator or user, server restart is needed so that application(s) can use the re-configured pool.
Transferring to docs category for required changes.
Added topic under "Restart Required" umbrella issue (http://java.net/jira/browse/GLASSFISH-16040) in 3.1 Release Notes.
To verify the fix, see the attachment to
Verified the updated doc attachment.

Posted by Anne Barleone (left) and Patty Killoran, interns in the Primary Care Office at the Massachusetts Department of Public Health.
This is another in series of profiles of health care professionals who have benefited from the Massachusetts Loan Repayment Program. The MLRP works to increase access to comprehensive primary care in underserved areas, by providing up to $50,000 towards outstanding educational loans for health professionals who commit to work at an eligible health care organization for two full-time years.
Today we're profiling Kate Lufkin, an MLRP alumna who's a social worker at the South Boston Community Health Center.
Kate planned to continue to medical school and become a physician after she completed her bachelor's degree in psychology and neuroscience. After graduation she accepted a job at the Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) where she worked in a clinic on a research study.
At HSPH she discovered that she loved interacting with patients. She enjoyed learning about her patients' medical histories; helping them to go through questionnaires; and learning about their eating habits and lifestyles. She realized that what she loved most about her job – getting to know patients in a personal way – she would not be able to do as a physician. She decided to change career paths, and enrolled in a graduate social work program.
By reducing the burden of Kate's student debt, the MLRP played a significant role in Kate's decision to work at the South Boston Community Health Center and has allowed her to continue working there.
"Financially, if I did not have the MLRP, I would not have been able to stay here as long as I have," she said. "It was a huge incentive to stay at the Health Center, 100%."
Participating in the program has allowed Kate to continue to do work with a community and a population that she finds personally rewarding and professionally fulfilling. Although she completed the MLRP several years ago, she continues to call the community health center her professional home.
Kate works with a diverse population at the center. While the facility serves all South Boston residents, Kate tends to work mostly with low-income, underserved patients. "We serve all across the socio-economic spectrum. Our underserved population is not any different from a normal population going into a doctor's office. People that come into the office want to make changes in their lives, which is a common theme among people and isn't necessarily dependent on their socio-economic status."
