|Expected behavior of Tomcat under load
|Thu, 26 May 2011 09:01:23 GMT
Hi All First of all, this is a repost from the user@ list from yesterday, as I think this requires a reply from a developer instead of a user. During some performance tests, we've seen that Tomcat resets TCP connections under high load. To reproduce this rather consistently, a thread pool with a maximum of 300 threads could be configured on default Tomcat 6.0.32, and then 1280 ~ 2560 concurrent user requests simulated from a different machine over a real NW interface. I assume this could be reproduced with proportionately smaller numbers for both as well. The implementation uses a Xfire soap service. Tomcat refusing connections, or taking longer to accept new connections, or taking longer to reply (causing a socket timeout) can be expected under such load - but what we see are TCP resets of connections to which a client has already sent a full HTTP request. Is this the default behavior of Tomcat? The problem this presents is that the client cannot safely fail over to another instance, unlike with a refused connection or a connect timeout (i.e. delay in accepting) thanks asankha No. Time Source Destination Protocol Src Port Dst Port Info 389961 37.056567 10.77.69.8 10.101.29.42 TCP 9062 8080 9062 > 8080 [SYN] Seq=0 Win=5792 [TCP CHECKSUM INCORRECT] Len=0 MSS=1460 TSV=363753 TSER=363574 WS=7 391297 37.108766 10.101.29.42 10.77.69.8 TCP 8080 9062 8080 > 9062 [SYN, ACK] Seq=0 Ack=1 Win=5792 Len=0 MSS=1460 TSV=363383 TSER=363753 WS=7 391298 37.108773 10.77.69.8 10.101.29.42 TCP 9062 8080 9062 > 8080 [ACK] Seq=1 Ack=1 Win=5888 [TCP CHECKSUM INCORRECT] Len=0 TSV=363758 TSER=363383 391893 37.115809 10.77.69.8 10.101.29.42 HTTP 9062 8080 POST /xfire/xfire-service HTTP/1.1 391894 37.115837 10.77.69.8 10.101.29.42 HTTP 9062 8080 Continuation or non-HTTP traffic[Packet size limited during capture] 392677 37.125492 10.101.29.42 10.77.69.8 TCP 8080 9062 8080 > 9062 [RST] Seq=1 Win=0 Len=0 -- Asankha C.

Mike, PLEASE introduce this iris. Not only is it a perfectly lovely
flower, it provides the ideal solution for those of us in very cold
climates who are hard pressed to find anything that can rebloom in a
short season. In lieu of rebloom, I would LOVE to fill my garden
14-17 budded irises that would bloom for 5-6 weeks continuously. If
you'd like to trial it up here in zone 3, feel free to pop a rz in my
box with my order this year. I'll give it the royal treatment! :-)

Ever notice that sometimes a guy will do something really stupid, like let the love of his life slip through his fingers? Yeah. I'm that guy. But the instant I run into her again I've got one goal and one goal only—a second chance. The plan? Go big or go home. Fine, at first glance, stripping naked at my ex-girlfriend's place of work might not seem like the brightest way to win her heart again. But trust me on this count—she always liked me best without any clothes on. And sometimes you've got to play to your strengths when you're fighting an uphill battle.
"NYC ♥♥♥♥♥ and a HOT guy!!"
I shouldn't have remembered him. He was just a guy who walked through a restaurant. I didn't know his name. We never made eye contact. There was no connection between us at all. But I could feel him. The tingle down my spine. The command in his presence. The snap of tension in the air around him. That was the first time I saw him, and I was captivated.
"Terrible Narration!!! Sounds like little Kids.."
From the moment Donald Trump announced his candidacy for the White House until very late on election night, media and pollsters kept insisting Trump wouldn't - couldn't - be president. But for Larry Schweikart - one of a ragtag group of amateur politicos called the "Deplorables", who had been publishing shockingly accurate polls and predictions, and Joel Pollak, a senior editor at Breitbart News following Trump on the campaign trail - Trump's 2016 win was a near certainty.
What defended the US after the attack on Pearl Harbor, defeated the Soviet Union in the Cold War, and is an essential tool in the fight against terror? Aircraft carriers. For 70 years, these ships remained a little-understood cornerstone of American power. In his latest book, On Wave and Wing, Barrett Tillman sheds light on the history of these floating leviathans and offers a nuanced analysis of the largest man-made vessel in the history of the world.
To say that soup has played a huge part of my childhood life would be an understatement. The savory dish has been my life since the very beginning! As a child, I belonged to a financially frugal household and money was extremely tight. Frequent trips to the doctor just weren't in the budget. Therefore, my family relied heavily on natural healing remedies and soup just happened to be one of the top natural choices.
This story is a gem representing the delightful stories from the Indian subcontinent which capture the simple essence of everyday life in rural/urban India. The simple pleasures of life indicate a time gone by, before the advent of cellphones and Facebook, a time which almost stood still, a time where children could revel in the rain, make paper boats and race them down a drain, play marbles, and generally pass time. The once idyllic life almost seems too slow and bear and hence is fascinating to watch unfurl as we listen to the story.
Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849) is known for his tales of the macabre and the supernatural. "The Black Cat" is one of his most celebrated. In it the narrator tells of his growing hatred for his pet cat and how in a drunken rage he maims the animal by cutting out one of its eyes. Worse is to follow when, in an episode of alcohol-induced depravity, he kills the cat by hanging it from a tree, with the most horrifying of consequences.
Presenting a selection of sonnets by William Shakespeare. There are 24 in number in this first selection. They are, in order: 18, 33, 11, 3, 5, 6, 29, 10, 22, 2, 4, 7, 1, 9, 27, 8, 30, 116, 34, 54, 12, 66, 77, 60.
Giverny, France. During the day the town is the home of the famous artist Claude Monet and the gardens where he painted his Water Lilies. But once the tourists have gone, there is a darker side to the peaceful French village. This is the story of 13 days that begin with one murder and end with another. Jérôme Morval, a man whose passion for art was matched only by his passion for women, has been found dead in the stream that runs through the gardens. In his pocket is a postcard of Monet's Water Lilies.
Robert Browning (1812-1889), playwright and poet, is known and admired for his dramatic monologues in blank verse, of which he is a recognized master. He also wrote many lighter poems with a humorous touch. Here is one of his best known, The Pied Piper of Hamelin.
Guy de Maupassant is widely regarded as the father of the modern short story. As his 13 volumes of short stories attest, he was a prolific writer of this form. He had a simple, efficient style of writing and, like Anton Chekhov, found inspiration for his stories in the daily lives of humans, which often reveal our darker nature. His years of service in the Franco-Prussian War provided him with rich material for his work.

Our overall Program is focused on understanding the oncogenomic changes in myeloma central to disease pathogenesis which impact clinical outcome. We have proposed two large clinical trials;first to evaluate the role of transplant in the era of novel therapies;and second to evaluate progression from MGUS/SMM to active MM, which will accrue 1000 patients and 1210 patients, respectively, both in France and the United States. A critical aspect of obtaining robust ongenomic data is to have centralized and uniform processing and analysis of samples with established SOPs. Specifically, samples will be obtained from patients enrolled on the randomized trial evaluating lenalidomide bortezomib and dexamethasone (RVD) with or without high dose therapy and autotransplant at time of diagnosis (Project 2) and at relapse (Project 4);and from patients with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance/smoldering MM (MGUS/SMM) at time of study entry and progression (Project 2). In each case, tumor cells versus normal cells will be isolated in Core B using well established procedures. Core C will perform DNA, RNA, and microRNA analyses on these samples. In addition, this Core will perform genomic analyses on preclinical samples, specifically evaluating changes in RNA and miRNA resulting from gain and loss of gene function, as well as before and after novel targeted therapies. This Core will provide a detailed catalog of gains or losses in DNA by using Genome Wide Human SNP 6.0 array. Levels of mRNA expression and splicing of all genes will be assessed using whole transcript GeneChip? Human Exon 1.0 ST array. Micro RNA (miRNA) profile will be established using qPCR-based miRNA arrays. This core has also interacted closely with investigators in Core E for bioinformatic support and data analysis, which is essential for the success of our proposed studies. This core has and will continue to help identify novel targets and validate targeted therapies in preclinical studies in Project 3. The following 3 Specific Aims will be pursued: to assess changes in DNA by high density SNP array analysis (Specific Aim 1);to evaluate expression profile and alternate splicing using Exon 1.0 ST array (Specific Aim 2);to profile miRNA using high density qPCR array (Specific Aim 3). Core C is therefore an essential and integral component to meet our goals.

Booktrust Best New Illustrators Award 2011
The judging panel for this year's Award comprised:
Children's Laureate Anthony Browne; Director of Literature Strategy at Arts Council England, Antonia Byatt; author/illustrator Lauren Child; founder of the Illustration Cupboard John Huddy and author/illustrator Ken Wilson-Max.
Anthony Browne, Children's Laureate comments:
Sitting on the panel for the 2011 Booktrust Best New Illustrators Award has been enormously exciting. In the judging meeting colour popped out at us, detail begged to be pored over, wonderful characters bounded through the pages and words and pictures left enough imagination fuelling gaps in meaning to make us want to instantly revisit them! As a panel we were awed by the sheer range of styles and were thrilled to see how both classic and modern approaches are being successfully harnessed to bring children and adults alike some of the most innovative, fresh and skilled illustration being published today. When we had finally reached our decision we were left with a palpable sense that these ten are the illustration stars of the future.
Anthony Browne
Anthony Browne is an internationally acclaimed author and illustrator of children's books with over forty titles to his name including Gorilla and Willy the Wimp. He was born in Yorkshire and studied graphic arts at Leeds Art College, working as a medical illustrator and an illustrator of greetings cards before his first book was published in 1976. He has gone on to win numerous awards including the CILIP Kate Greenaway Medal and the Hans Christian Andersen Award.
Anthony was the Children's Laureate 2009-2011 and used his time in the post to raise the profile of picture books and picture book illustration, as well as the value of supporting children's creativity and imagination.
Antonia Byatt
Before joining Arts Council England, Antonia was Director of the Women's Library at London Metropolitan University, an academic research library and cultural centre containing the largest collection of women's history in the UK.
Prior to joining the library, Antonia was head of literature at Southbank Centre, which involved overseeing the literature programme of around 130 events a year and overall management of the poetry library.
She is a governor of the Bishopsgate Institute and since 2008 has been governor of New Buckinghamshire University.
Lauren Child
Lauren Child is considered one of the most talented and creative author/illustrators working today. Her first two books were published in 1999 – I Want a Pet and Clarice Bean, That's Me, and she won the prestigious Kate Greenaway Medal in 2000 for I Will Not Ever Never Eat a Tomato, the first of her Charlie and Lola picture books. Lauren published her first Clarice Bean novel in 2002 – Utterly Me, Clarice Bean, and the Clarice Bean series has sold over 6 million copies worldwide. In October 2005, the BBC launched a 78-part animated series of Charlie and Lola. The series has won four BAFTAS and is aired in more than 34 countries. In 2008 Lauren launched UNESCO's 'My Life is a Story' Campaign for UNESCO's Programme for the Education of Children in Need, and was named a UNESCO Artist for Peace in 2008. In 2010 she was awarded an MBE for Services to Literature. Her most recent work is the Ruby Redfort detective series for HarperCollins. Book four in the series is called Ruby Redfort: Feel the Fear published in September 2014. In Autumn 2014 Puffin Books will publish The New Small Person, Lauren's latest picture book.
John Huddy
John Huddy first studied art history at school and went on to gain an MA (Hons) in History of Art at St Andrew's University. John subsequently worked at auctioneers Christies in St James's, London, where he extended an interest in old master drawings and paintings. However it was his close family connection with publishing that sparked his appreciation of the outstanding range and quality of the books he had grown up with; as a child he had met many leading authors and artists which ultimately led on to founding the Illustration Cupboard in 1995.

When the ruler of Dubai, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, flies into Newmarket for the Guineas races each May, he doesn't bring just one plane. The man who has more wealth than he could possibly spend also, so the story goes, has Boeing 747s flying in provisions and luxuries from home. Visitors to his vast, redbrick Warren Towers – "the ugliest house in Newmarket", or "the Maktoumerie", as locals variously describe it – say these include such delicacies as camel burgers and camel milk.
The Sheikh's global Godolphin empire has horses racing all around the world, from stables in the UK, Dubai, America and Australia. However, as he sits in his Dubai palace atop the biggest scandal in racing's history, it is not yet clear if even the charms of Dawn Approach – this year's 2000 Guineas favourite, in which he has a half-stake – will prompt him to make the annual pilgrimage. To outsiders, it is perhaps hard to understand why the exclusive world of racing is so utterly transfixed by events that have taken place at his yard in Newmarket, where a trainer has admitted to doping no fewer than 15 top racehorses.
But the reason is simple. Money. This sheikh, said to be worth more than $4bn by Forbes magazine, is single-handedly responsible for keeping British horseracing alive. One industry observer likens Godolphin to the megabanks bailed out by taxpayers to prevent the collapse of the global financial system: "too big to fail". The Economist calculated two years ago that "Sheikh Moh", as he's known by employees, has pumped more than £10bn into the industry over two decades. And, while he sees victories in the top British flat races as his ultimate goal, his reach stretches far beyond the UK. "Panic sets in among the vendors if his plane isn't spotted at the airport in Kentucky before the annual auctions," says one racing journalist. "His spending is absurd. He has been driven mad by the equine," says another. "It's the biggest sporting folly since the building of the Coliseum."
Others see him as more visionary than fool, particularly with regards to his transformation of Dubai from small desert town into skyscraper-studded international playground and financial centre. Mohammed's father, Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum, impressed on him and his brother, whom he succeeded to the throne in 2006, that, unlike its fellow emirates, Dubai's oil was reducing to a trickle. It desperately needed to diversify away from the black gold that had sustained it for decades. Friends say the brothers revered their father, a more contemplative character. With their huge stockpiles of cash from past oil riches, they started building a modern city to attract the West. Finance, tourism and trade were its three targets.
They established property and finance companies to build their city in the sand, and went on a global corporate buying spree. Mohammed snapped up British ports operator P&O Ports, and took a stake in the leisure company behind Madame Tussauds and Legoland. He even launched an abortive bid for Liverpool FC. While such deals may look like the bauble collecting of a feckless billionaire, there was method at work. The P&O deal made sense for a place whose own rapidly growing port was one of the busiest in the world (even with Western sanctions against its main customer, Iran). And Mohammed always saw leisure, particularly sport, as the key to keep bringing Westerners to his sunny city. In his eyes, his Godolphin stable may have been costing him billions, but it was cementing the brand of Dubai as a place of dynamism and success.
But did the business plan require so much to be spent on his passion for the turf? Of course not. This was an obsession, sparked in childhood. The third of four sons, he quickly developed the Arab prince's traditional passion for horses, riding long-distance races in the desert from a young age. An intensely physical man, he still rides regularly across the sands. He was educated in Dubai, polishing off at an exclusive English language school and Sandhurst. While there, he developed a reputation for bending the rules. Sir Charles Wiggin, a fellow pupil, fondly recalled in a BBC radio documentary how "he always sailed close to the line. He had a car, which we weren't supposed to, and always wanted to drive us all up to London in it. He was permanently getting it taken off him, but [even when it was confiscated], somehow, a car would still always arrive to ferry us up to London for the night, and back home in time for the morning. He was that kind of character."
Pushing the rules is a near-universal trait among entrepreneurs, and has won him admirers. Andrew Monk, a City broker who works across the region, says: "How can you knock the guy? He's a visionary. Like a Richard Branson of the Middle East. He took a village in the desert and turned it into this crazy, amazing city." With its man-made pleasure islands, soaring towers and glittering shopping malls, you can scoff at Dubai's phoneyness while still being impressed by the transformation.
Brough Scott, the jockey-turned commentator who set up the Racing Post with the Sheikh's backing, says: "I remember being out there with him in the late '80s. He points out and says: 'I'm going to build a golf course over there.' I look and say: 'But it's just sand'. He says: 'No problem: we're going to pour water on it.' Sure enough, the next time I went, there was a lush, green golf course."
The path was not always smooth. The property boom the Sheikh created had an inevitable by-product – an unsustainable price bubble and terrifyingly vast debts. It came to a head when the global economy juddered to a halt in 2008, causing many of Dubai's – for which read Sheikh Mohammed's – state-sponsored businesses to almost collapse. At the time, Durham University's Professor Chris Davidson described the crisis as: "The best evidence available of the ruler's ego, his lack of grasp on reality and the real need for sustainable economic development."
But unlike your average entrepreneur, he was able to call on his fellow clan leaders in Abu Dhabi, where the oil still flows freely, to plead for a bailout. The Khalifa family kept him waiting, but finally, fearing humiliation for the whole of the UAE if Dubai went bust, a monster $10bn loan was made to save Dubai World – the Sheikh's main investment company – from bankruptcy. Billions of dollars more in loan guarantees were provided to keep the city-state afloat.
In return, Sheikh Mohammed humbled himself by allowing the much vaunted Burj Dubai tower – still the highest building in the world today – to be rechristened on its inauguration as the Burj Khalifa, sticking the Abu Dhabi family's name on a building towering 828m above his glittering playground. Humiliating, perhaps, but also a testimony to his willingness to compromise to get the job done. Employees at his Godolphin stables testify to similar flexibility. He allows them to argue freely with him about his plans, and he does listen – although he often chooses to ignore their advice.
Western critics nodded knowingly at the Dubai upstart's comeuppance during the financial crisis. But, as Monk points out,"Yes, he makes mistakes, but look what happened with the debt situation in the UK, Europe and the US. We've hardly got it all right ourselves. And when Mohammed messes up, he dusts himself down and starts again. Look at Dubai now, it's booming." It certainly is. Properties on the Palm-shaped islands have mostly been snapped up. Cranes tower wherever you look as ever more buildings scrape the sky. The hotels are full – helped by an icy European spring. The Dubai stockmarket only this week hit a three-and-a-half year high.
And what of his physical presence? Brough Scott says: "He's only about 5ft 8ins but he has the charisma of a ruler about him. He is always surrounded by people but it is he who leads, makes the decisions." He adds: "He gets you in really close, almost so he can smell you, and says: 'Get the best. Be the best. The pursuit of excellence.'" Others are less flattering, describing how he drives his staff too hard, with regular demands at unnecessarily unsocial hours. Says one: "We've all been at industry dinners and functions when, at 11 o'clock at night, a Godolphin person's mobile will ring and they all have to disappear off. Ridiculous."
"He can have dark moods," says a former employee. "But then, he can afford to." With his neatly clipped beard and hint of a sneer about his mouth, he appears fearsome. Peter McKay, the journalist, once described him cuttingly as a man "not as nice as he looks". It was notable how few in the industry were prepared to go on the record for this article. "Just not worth the candle," says one. Ruthlessness is, of course, the flipside of ambition. Witness the Sheikh's deafness for decades to complaints about the slave-like working conditions for much of the immigrant workforce who built Dubai's glittering towers.
He said he was appalled and angered when tests by the British Horseracing Authority showed the presence of anabolic steroids. For Godolphin stable staff, expect a quick clearout of trainers and other personnel as he deals with this crisis. Behind the high walls of Fortress Godolphin, it is already happening. Speaking via a racing industry friend last night, an employee at its base in France says: "I can assure you that the actions taking place right now are both severe and at the personal command of Sheikh Moh."
If the sport is to survive its Lance Armstrong moment, the Sheikh must not put a foot wrong in this clean-up. Public trust in races has been shaken to the core. He always wanted to use horses to make himself, and Dubai, the centre of attention. Now, more than ever before, the world is watching.

Roof Structure:
The roof is supported by 3 by 9 inches Guanacaste wood beams, these will ensure the proper tile roof support and the beauty of the exposed Guanacaste wood.
On the vaulted ceiling areas, there is what in Costa Rica is called "Caña Brava", which is alike to bamboo cane. This will give a beautiful natural texture, which will hold against the moisture, bugs and time. In the first floor, the green board ceilings are covered with fine Venetian stucco, with ceiling fans, recessed lights and sofits in all the contours.
Interior Walls:
The interior walls are made with 15x40x20 cm concrete blocks, covered with fine Venetian type stucco. This kind of stucco gives a beautiful game of dark and light stains, giving color, texture and personality to the wall, also the smooth surfaces make it perfect for interiors.
Natural lime stone, laid out on a multi-format pattern and finished with satin sealer. This stone is imported from Colombia.
The steps for the spiral staircase are one solid stone piece, custom made for each house.
Clay tile made here in Costa Rica.
Made of Meranti, this is an exotic wood imported from Indonesia, it absorbs only the 2% of humidity, non comparable to the 20% of the cedar. Also, the high tech hardware, rolls and tracks, allows you to move a 4 inch thick sliding door with just one finger.
Made of solid cedar, the finish of these doors makes them elegant, yet with an aged look. The hardware are heavy and tight pieces of aged metal.

The project is standing on a solid Guanacaste rock platform, to dig the footings, in some spots we had to use a compressor to remove the rock. This guarantees the stability of the three houses during an earthquake.
The houses are supported by 24 inches wide reinforced concrete footings, and some tall walls with 40 inches wide footings. All footings are poured concrete with a proportion of 1:2:3.
Exterior Walls:
The exterior walls are made with poured concrete on the sides to shape the arches, and 15 cm block in the middle of the arch. All walls have #4 rebar and #3 rings every 20 cm. They are covered with fine Venetian Stucco, each house on a different color, but matching on an earth tone scheme.

Tucked away on the Pacific Gold Coast between Playa Brasilito and Playa Potrero is Playa Flamingo, considered by many to be one of the most beautiful beaches in all of Costa Rica. With white sand, crystal blue waiter and lush green scenery, Flamingo Beach is ideal for any tropical getaway. Quiet and peaceful, the area embodies the appeal of a small coastal community, without sacrificing the attractions of the more populated tourism areas. Only 45 minutes away from Liberia International Aiport (LIR) and 30 minutes away from Tamarindo Domestic Airport, arriving in Flamingo is easy. Flamingo has become a praised travel desitination as well as a home away from home for those searching for a simple way of life amidst beautiful scenery. In addition to stunning private residences and breath-taking beaches, the Flamingo area is home to a wide array of other alluring features...
The Flamingo Marina is renown for offering some of the best deep sea sport fishing for sailfish, marlin, snapper, tuna, mahi-mahi and other game fish on the Pacific Coast. The area also offers immaculate golf courses, unbeatable sunset cruises, scuba diving, sea kayaking, jungle canopy tours, horseback riding, and ATV tours. Take advantage of local Leatherback turtle sightings or plan a day trip to Monteverde Cloud Forest, Volcan Rincon de la Vieja or Volcan Arenal for hiking, waterfalls, hot springs and day spas. We would be happy to arrange any activities you are interested in. For a full list of the activities in the area, click here.
Although a popular travel destination with an abundance of fine-dining and tourism, Costa Rica is still able to embrace its local culture. Wine and dine, surf and shop within the heart of Flamingo or Tamarindo, and then step out to Brasilito, Potrero or other surrounding towns to walk among cowboy country and enjoy tropical fruits and vegetables, authentic dishes and some of the best coffee in the world. You may find yourself amidst the night-life of Tamarindo one evening, and then within the heart of an authentic Costa Rican "fiesta", or rodeo, the next. Either way, you are sure to encounter some of the most friendly and genuinely happy people in the world who love to encourage you to slow down and embrace the "pura vida" lifestyle.

However, unlike stage acting, where you have a great deal of personal control over your work, in TV and film you ultimately have none. In the end, your performance will be constructed in the editing room and all decisions as to which takes to use will be made by the director and editor. As any working actor can very cheap fake ugg boots tell you, some takes are better than others and it can be a little jarring when you discover that some of your less favorite ones have been used to create the performance the audience will finally see. Sometimes, when I see myself on screen, I want to scream, hide my head between my knees and withdraw from both SAG and AFTRA. Other times, I pleased and often wonder if my ass was saved by a smart, talented editor. My other issue with TV and film work is sort of an embarrassing one. I know I a character actor, but there is still a small part of me that expects to look like James Franco on camera. That yet to happen, but hope springs eternal. Most of the time, I okay with my appearance, but occasionally a shot will flash up on screen and I be completely mortified by what I see. Is that really how I look? Is my voice that irritating? Is my posture that bad? And look at those bags under my eyes!! Obviously, all these problems could be avoided by simply never watching any of the camera work I do. There no law that says I have to watch. Technically, when the scene is finished shooting, my job is done. My problem is that part of what has always driven me to be an artist is a desire to get better at my job. And I can get better if I don take a look at the work once in a while. Fortunately, I've learned a few tricks over the years to lessen the horror. The first is to, if at all possible, have at least one glass of wine beforehand and to avoid watching my work when there is someone else in the room. The second is to watch it again at some later date, since the first time is always (without exception) going to be traumatic. Don't get me wrong. I actually love

And it is not just Christmas - Britons are choosing to eat out in their droves on any special occasion. Pubs and restaurants are already reporting record bookings for Valentine's Day and Mothering Sunday.
"These are the best bookings we have ever seen for Christmas Day. Most people ordered the traditional lunch but there were plenty of alternative and vegetarian meals were also popular," said a spokesman for Bass Taverns, one of the biggest pub groups in the country. The story has been mirrored across the whole industry.
As working hours increase, more people have not got the time or are not prepared to spend hours in the kitchen. A recent survey found that it takes an average of five and a half hours to prepare a Sunday lunch. Pub operators also believe the rise in the divorce rate, which has lead to an increase in the number of single parents, leads people to turn to pubs and restaurants as an alternative to eating a home.
These trends mean that the eating-out market is expected to show double- digit growth over the next few years. they have also lead to the transformation of the traditional pub. Gone are the soggy fish and chips and the stale pie. Most of the major chains have spruced up their menus and introduced a wider, more exotic range of food to cash in on the growing demand.

Vogue and GQ may revel in the lifestyle of the rich and glamorous, but publisher Condé Nast has been feeling the squeeze in the UK during the recession. The group has revealed that profits plunged 72 per cent last year.
Pre-tax profits at Condé Nast Publications, a subsidiary based in London, fell from £20.1m in 2008 to £5.6m last year, according to its latest financial results.
Revenues at the division – dominated by sales in the UK although sales to the rest of the world are just under a quarter – tumbled from £125.2m to £106.7m as it came under pressure from falling advertising revenues and strong competition from its rivals.
The company, which traces its roots back over a century, closed a series of titles a year ago in the US with the loss of 180 jobs as it battled the recession.
Condé Nast has embraced digital publishing, and has sought to provide content for technologies such as the iPad. It has developed apps for its titles including Wired and The New Yorker. The group is also targeting the growing wealth in emerging markets, including launching Traveller in India this month.

Can Unemployment Insurance Spur Entrepreneurial Activity? Evidence from France
We investigate how a large-scale French reform to reduce the risk from small business creation for unemployed workers, affects the composition of people who are drawn into entrepreneurship. New firms started in response to the reform are, on average, smaller, but have similar growth expectations and education levels compared to start-ups before the reform. They are also as likely to survive or to hire. However, there are large crowd-out effects: Employment in incumbent firms decreases by a similar magnitude as the number of new jobs created in start-ups. These results point to the importance of Schumpeterian dynamics when facilitating entry.

The primary symptom and most debilitating aspect of fibromyalgia (FM) and other generalized pain syndromes is generalized musculoskeletal tenderness and pain. The pathogenic mechanism of these pain syndromes is, however, still poorly understood, and currently available analgesic therapies have proven to be only partially, and unpredictably, effective. Progress has been seriously hindered by the lack of an adequate experimental model of chronic generalized pain. During the current grant period we determined that interruption of activity in abdominal vagal afferents results in a state of enhanced mechanical hyperalgesia. This vagotomy-induced generalized hyperalgesia depends on adrenal medulla function, a characteristic highly relevant to fibromyalgia in which chronic stress is thought to make a major contribution. In further probing the role of stress in the pathophysiological mechanism of generalized hyperalgesia, we found that rats exposed to non-habituating sound stress exhibited a marked increase in hyperalgesia evoked by injection of the pronociceptive inflammatory mediator prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) or epinephrine in the skin. This enhancement, which developed more than a week after exposure to stress, required concerted action of glucocorticoids and catecholamines at the glucocorticoid and 22-adrenergic receptor, respectively, located in the peripheral terminals of sensory afferents. The altered response to pronociceptive mediators involved a switch in coupling of their receptors from predominantly stimulatory to inhibitory G-proteins (Gs to Gi) and for PGE2, in particular, emergence of novel dependence on protein kinase C5 signaling. Thus, an important mechanism in generalized pain syndromes may be stress-induced co-activation of hypothalamic-pituitary adrenal and sympathoadrenal axes, causing a long-lasting alteration in intracellular signaling pathways in the primary afferent nociceptor, enabling normally innocuous levels of immune mediators to produce chronic hyperalgesia.
The aims of this competing grant renewal application are to: 1) analyze the characteristics of stressors that induce enhancement of cytokine hyperalgesia in the musculoskeletal system;2) examine the role of interactions between the sympathoadrenal and hypothalamic-pituitary adrenal neuroendocrine stress axes, and their effector mediators, glucocorticoids and catecholamines, in stress-induced enhancement of cytokine hyperalgesia;3) evaluate the relevance of our model of fibromyalgia-like generalized pain in relation to an important co-morbid symptom, visceral hyperalgesia;and, 4) elucidate the mechanisms underlying nociceptor plasticity produced by neuroendocrine stress hormones and the role of changes in the primary afferent nociceptor in the development of enhanced cytokine hyperalgesia. The proposed studies are designed to provide new insights into the pathophysiology of generalized pain syndromes like fibromyalgia. In this regard, the proposed studies have the potential to achieve important progress toward a clinical goal that until now has been frustrated by the absence of workable animal models.
Fibromyalgia is characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain and tenderness, disturbances in sleep, and co-occurrence of other generalized pain syndromes, such as irritable bowel syndrome and post-traumatic stress disorder. It affects 2-4% of the population and has a considerable impact on everyday life. Unfortunately, there is no treatment reliably successful in most patients. The mechanisms that underlie this pain condition, especially those contributing to the diffuse pain, have been elusive. Stress is extremely important in fibromyalgia;indeed, daily stresses commonly have a significant negative impact. While stress may play an important role in fibromyalgia, the mechanism underlying the associations between stress and pain in fibromyalgia has not been elucidated. Evidence that stress alone may not be sufficient to induce fibromyalgia has led investigators to look for additional causative factors. The observation of a much higher incidence of fibromyalgia in patients with inflammatory and infectious diseases, which also activate the bodies stress systems, suggest that inflammatory mediators might be an important additional factor. In the experiments in this grant proposal we will address the interaction between stress and inflammation in fibromyalgia and other generalized pain syndromes. The ultimate goal of the present research proposal is to provide a rational basis for the design of novel strategies to treat pain in patients with fibromyalgia. The findings should help tailor specific therapies that may prevent or at least ameliorate their significant suffering.

Orioles Hall of Fame manager Earl Weaver died early Saturday of an apparent heart attack aboard a team-themed cruise. He was 82.
Dubbed the "Earl of Baltimore," he will be remembered for many things: standing much taller than his 5-foot-7 stature, outsmarting opponents from the dugout, arguing with umpires on the field and -- if you remember -- supporting Cal Ripken Jr.'s move from third base to shortstop.
Oh, and Weaver won games. A lot of them.
"Earl Weaver was a brilliant baseball man, a true tactician in the dugout and one of the key figures in the rich history of the Baltimore Orioles, the club he led to four American League pennants and the 1970 World Series championship," Commissioner Bud Selig said in a statement.
What is not as widely known, perhaps, is that Weaver's victorious ways started well before his 17-year stint in the Majors. He was awfully successful in the Minor Leagues, too.
Weaver played second base for one of the best teams in Minor League history, the 1950 Winston-Salem Cards, six years before beginning his managerial career with the South Atlantic League's Knoxville Smokies. His club finished in eighth place that season, but it proved to be an anomaly.
Weaver was at the helm of six more teams over the next 11 seasons. During that time, his clubs finished first or second eight times, securing league championships with the Fox Cities Foxes (1960) and Elmira Pioneers ('62, '64). He won 163 games over his final two seasons, both with the International League's Rochester Red Wings, now the Twins' Triple-A affiliate.
Then he began his big league tenure, which culminated with a 1996 induction to the Hall of Fame.
"Earl Weaver stands alone as the greatest manager in the history of the Orioles organization and one of the greatest in the history of baseball," Orioles chairman of the board and CEO Peter Angelos said in a statement. "This is a sad day for everyone who knew him and for all Orioles fans. Earl made his passion for the Orioles known both on and off the field. On behalf of the Orioles, I extend my condolences to his wife, Marianna, and to his family."
Also a member of the Red Wings Hall of Fame, Weaver returned to Rochester in 2007 for the dedication of a statue of former team president Morrie Silver.
"Earl and my father had a very special relationship," Red Wings CEO Naomi Silver told the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle. "They had such great admiration and respect for each other."
