|[jira] Commented: (HTTPCLIENT-886) Incorrect handling of NoHttpResponseException in DefaultHttpMethodRetryHandler
|Wed, 04 Nov 2009 13:23:32 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-886?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12773475#action_12773475 ] Ortwin Glück commented on HTTPCLIENT-886: ----------------------------------------- > In our case, this is very dangerous because the request has already been sent and is being processed by the back-end server. If a repeated request is "very dangerous" you'd better implementing detection for duplicate requests in your application! Use challenge/reponse tokens, sequence numbers, timestamps or other means to detect repeated requests. The behaviour of HttpClient is not the only source for repeated requests. Messaging over any unreliable medium (like a network) ALWAYS has to make the choice between either loosing some messages, or accepting and dealing with duplicates. This is a fundamental theorem. It's the reason for why there is UDP and TCP and their different guarantees. If the client doesn't get a response it can never know whether the request didn't reach the server or the response just didn't reach the client. By not retrying the request, the client risks that the request never reached the destination. It HAS TO retry the request until it gets a response. This algorithm is called Idle-RQ and is used for TCP for instance. > Incorrect handling of NoHttpResponseException in DefaultHttpMethodRetryHandler > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HTTPCLIENT-886 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-886 > Project: HttpComponents HttpClient > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 3.1 Final > Reporter: Sylvain Laurent > Priority: Critical > Fix For: 3.1.1 > > > We have a buggy load-balancer that sometimes forwards the request to the back-end server, and then close the connections without returning any data at all. > This provokes a NoHttpResponseException inside commons http client 3.1, which is handled by DefaultHttpMethodRetryHandler. > Unfortunately DefaultHttpMethodRetryHandler handles this NoHttpResponseException by asking for a retry.

|[jira] Commented: (DERBY-1968) Derby tools guide: Long line in documentation of ij.dataSource
|Tue, 17 Oct 2006 20:23:36 GMT
[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-1968?page=comments#action_12443054 ] Kim Haase commented on DERBY-1968: ---------------------------------- This is in the file rtoolsijproprefdatasource.dita. I notice that the codeblock that contains the long line looks strange. I think the text is supposed to be on three different lines, but in the DITA source it is not. <codeblock>ij.dataSource=dataSourcename ij.dataSource.databaseName=databasename [ij.dataSource.createDatabase=create]</codeblock> This is another case of DERBY-408, where the untagged white space in a codeblock is ignored. However, the source at some point lost the line breaks too. I believe the output is meant to look like this (I won't try to reproduce the italics), with the brackets indicating that the last property is optional: ij.dataSource=dataSourcename ij.dataSource.databaseName=databasename [ij.dataSource.createDatabase=create] For an explanation of the example, would it be enough to say the following? The following example creates a database named sample using an EmbeddedDataSource. Or do you think more is needed?

For all those ladies who have ever hit the hay without removing their make-up after a night on the lash, then spare a thought for Heidi Klum.
The supermodel had a whole face of rhinestones to remove from hers after her annual Halloween costume party this weekend.
Heidi had hundreds of rhinestones glued to her face for the Halloween bash
Heidi was forced to postpone this year's Haunted Holiday Party after Superstorm Sandy hit but she made up for it by wearing yet another incredible costume inspired by Cleopatra to the charity bash.
And if you think the German supermodel did go to bed with those jewels still on her face - think again. The following day, a bare-faced Heidi was up at the crack of dawn distributing food, water and essential supplies to victims of Sandy.
All proceeds raised from the party will also be going to the Red Cross' Hurricane-relief effort.

Orchids: A Thoughtful Gift for Every Occasion
Flowers remain an enduringly popular gift, whether for a celebration, a bereavement, a romantic occasion, or something else altogether. And it is little wonder that this is the case. A gift of fresh flowers has a huge emotional impact on a person – making them feel more energetic and enthusiastic, and less anxious and worried. One of the most striking flowers is the orchid. They come in a range of colours, and each colour of orchid has a totally different symbolism and meaning, making them perfect gifts for different occasions. Here are some idea ideas for gifting orchids of different colours. Orange orchids. As well as being extremely bold and striking in their appearance, the symbolism of the orange orchid represents boldness, enthusiasm, and pride. This makes the orange orchid the ideal gift for somebody embarking on an exciting mission. Perhaps you want to congratulate a friend on a new job they have just landed, or you want to give a friend who is feeling down an unexpected boost of motivation and energy – a flower delivery of orange orchids would be perfect. Green orchids. Green orchids are unusual because it's rare that you find plants that have green flowers as well as stems. This makes them look beautifully natural and elegant. Green orchids represent new beginnings and rejuvenation, and so they make the perfect gift for somebody going through a life change. A flower delivery of green orchids would be perfect for somebody moving into a new home as they will fit perfectly with the "new beginning" narrative of your friend's life. They could also work well for somebody who has just gone through a break up and needs reassurance about the new beginning in their life that is to come. White orchids. White orchids are so classic that they really could never be a "bad" gift, but if you really want to get into the meaning of white orchids, you will find that they can represent innocence because of the purity of their colour, but they are also symbolic of wealth in Japan. This would make white orchids the perfect gift for the arrival of a new born baby or a baptism. Or if you want to take the Japanese meaning, you could gift your employees white orchids for being productive, or deliver white orchids to a friend who has just received an impressive promotion. Whether you purchase orchids from a florist, a garden centre, or online, the recipient is sure to be grateful for the thoughtful...read more
3 Extraordinary Tips to Fall in Love with Your Perfect Wedding Bouquet
Your wedding bridal bouquet is an accessory that you will hopefully buy once in your lifetime. So you'll want it to be absolutely perfect and just right for the most special day of your life. There's no other day that you will get to enjoy carrying around a gorgeous bunch of flowers made just for you. So before you head over to the florist and pick the first flower in sight, consider these amazing tips to make you fall in love with your wedding bouquet—almost as much as you love your groom. Consider your Bouquet Size Carefully It's always ideal to choose your wedding dress pattern before your initial consultation with the florist. The design and size of your bouquet will depend entirely on the level of detail you have on your wedding dress. An extraordinary wedding bouquet won't drown your wedding dress and unbalance its silhouette. For example, don't choose a trailing bouquet if your wedding dress detail is on the lower end. If your wedding dress has a long train at the back, you can complement it with a dramatically detailed bouquet. You'll also want to make sure that your bouquet is slenderer than your waist so your body shape is not hidden. Your wedding bouquet should have enough detail to stand out beautifully on its own without drowning your beautiful dress details. Choose Flowers to Meticulously Complement the Colour of your Wedding Dress Don't assume that every flower will match your wedding dress, especially if your wedding dress is ivory or cream. Your florist can recommend several shades of colours that work well with the colour of your wedding dress, while complementing the colour of your bridesmaid dresses. For example, purple orchids can complement an ivory wedding dress brilliantly when infused with baby's breath fillers, especially if your bridesmaid dresses are lilac or lavender in colour. Remember to take some colour swatches with you to give your florist an idea of the colours you want to integrate into your wedding. Give it Personal Meaning Incorporate flowers that have a special meaning to you or your family. You can even integrate family heirlooms like broaches, lace handkerchiefs and trimmings. This is a great way to add the 'something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue' tradition into your wedding. Check with your florist about the best ways to add your personal items into the floral arrangement. Broaches in particular give your bouquet a stunning finish at the handle. Fresh flowers are absolute stunners for wedding bouquets and you'll fall in love with them immediately! Be sure to ask local florists like Erindale Florist if they offer flower delivery services—it will make your life so much easier on your big...read more
Tips on Choosing Your Winter Wedding Flowers on a Budget
There are many magical bonuses to having a winter wedding: the cosy honeymoon, the glistening dew on the foliage in your photographs, and the availability of wedding venues in the somewhat off-season. Choosing blooms for your winter wedding may be a little harder. Most brides associate the idea of fresh perfumed flowers with spring and summer. Look at some handy tips to help you to choose the perfect flowers for your winter wedding without blowing your budget. Feature flowers Depending on what your wedding theme and colour palette, there are a range of beautiful blooms available to you in winter. If you're on a strict budget, however, you will have to get a little crafty. Anemones, sweet peas, hyacinths and cornflowers are unique blooms that can be integrated easily into a winter bride's bouquet without costing the earth. Tulips and roses really are at their best in winter, so you may be able to snap up a plentiful bunch of for a reasonable price. The once-popular bouquet staple baby's breath is now back in vogue as a feature flower of it's own. Give your bridesmaids a plentiful bunch of baby's breath for a sophisticated and delicate complement to the bridal bouquet. Wintery greens Look for foliage with a silvery green leaf and woody stems to imbue your wedding with a wintery vibe—think gums, silver dollar and dusty miller for unique silver foliage to complement a pure white bouquet. Eucalypts are an original choice, echoing the Australian landscape while giving off a subtle invigorating aroma. If you love vibrant greens, however, consider integrating some ivy, magnolia, pine or cedar for a truly winter wonderland vibe. Thinking outside the box A winter wedding is a wonderful opportunity to integrate natural elements into your flower arrangements. Go for a hike or nature walk with your future spouse and soak in the landscape and nature's bounty—what jumps out at you and decorative, fun and interesting? Succulents are a stunning addition to a bouquet or table, as are twisted twigs or pinecones. Scavenge and collect some of your favourite bushwalking finds for decorations, your bouquet, or centrepieces. Centrepieces Sprigs of rosemary are an attractive addition to centrepieces, and give off a flavoursome aroma that will complement your menu. For hardy centrepiece flowers, consider Australian natives such as kangaroo paw, proteas, eucalypt berries, waratahs and gums for a vibrant and resilient centrepiece. Entwine your unique blooms with twisted vines, twigs and ribbons for a cost-effective yet visually appealing winter wedding centrepiece. Consult with local florists like Riverside Florist & Gifts as soon as possible in your wedding planning process, so that you can work together to produce a striking winter floral presentation on a budget that will wow your...read more
3 Tips on Purchasing Mother's Day Flowers
When it comes to Mother's day, flowers are a quintessential gift. With a little patience and know-how, you can find the right flowers that will make her smile. Here are some tips that may help: Choosing a Florist When it comes to finding florists, you have two options. You can browse through the online catalogues provided by the florist's shop from the comfort of your home; or, you can personally walk into a floral shop and browse through those catalogues, speak with knowledgeable designers regarding your options, and order from the existing bouquets. It may seem awry to order online because you have no idea what quality the flowers will have when they arrive. In this sense, you may look to find a local florist with an online presence. This will highly simplify the process, and you will rest assured that your flowers were bought from trusted distributors. Knowing Your Options Flowers are a great way to express your feelings. Every type of flower has a different meaning, and you should be aware of what you want to express. For example, you could choose to send a bouquet in a vase, and you often will be able to customise some details such as the material, size, and colour of your vase. You could also choose to send flower stems, which come wrapped in an impressive presentation box. Although stems don't have any aesthetically pleasing qualities, they are great gifts for flower-loving mothers, as stems will sprout into beautiful flowers once planted and taken care of. When it comes to flowers specifically, there are lots of different choices for Mother's Day. While carnations have been the go-to option for Mother's Day traditionally, florists nowadays offer great designs with other flowers as well, such as tulips, lilies, roses, hydrangeas. Matching Her Personality Because every mom is unique, you have to choose the type of flowers that best matches her personality. If you don't think your mother is the right person for traditional arrangements, most florists offer great compositions of living plants, which will beautify any room they are placed in. If your mother loves taking care of her garden, you could get her dish gardens, which basically consist of multiple plants grouped together. You could also look to buy her single specimens such as kalanchoes, azaleas, or orchids if you think she would enjoy them. Florists will often allow you to personalise your gift by adding chocolate and stuffed animals, which will help with making your mother happier for the upcoming Mother's Day. To learn more, contact a company like Enfield House Of Flowers with any questions you...read more

Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper – February 28, 5-7pm
Welcome to St. Alban's, an Episcopal parish in the City of Edmonds, Washington, which is on the beautiful Puget Sound approximately 17 miles north of Seattle. We are known for our welcoming nature and gift of hospitality. We think of ourselves as a parish family, who is prayerful, enthusiastic about worship and supportive of each other and those in need. Our tucked-away location provides a relaxing sense of place within a quiet neighborhood, a place that fosters both solitude and a sense of community.
We are currently seeking God's call of both a new priest and pastor to partner with us in discerning who God is calling us to be in Christ and what God is calling us to do as we seek to help bring the Kingdom of God to our communities.
A Parish Profile Committee has spent the past 8 months gathering information about our Parish and compiling it in a document to be used to tell prospective candidates for our parish priest who we are, what we do, what we have to offer and what we seek in our next parish priest. This Profile has been reviewed by the Vestry and approved by the Bishop.

When my poorly maintained apartment building burned in a catastrophic fire, more than a hundred low-to-middle income people were suddenly homeless. We ultimately had no choice but to organize ourselves to make sure everyone was taken care of. When it became clear that a lawsuit would be an appropriate next step, I volunteered to find someone with a proven track record who would take us seriously. Tom was fantastic from the very start. In our first meeting, he didn't bat an eye when I mentioned that I am a member of the LGBT community. He was sympathetic, honest, funny, and warm - and as a social worker, this combination is exactly what I'm looking for in professionals who I need to trust. In the earliest days, I texted him pictures of documents to get his advice before signing them - and he was responsive every time. For over four years now, he's always answered my calls or responded quickly, always made our case a priority, never made it seem like we were just one of what must have been a lot of other projects he was handling. When class members had questions, I referred them to Tom, who made himself available to chat with every one of the former tenants who wanted to talk to him, sometimes more than a few times a week. Our case eventually became so intricate I could barely give a coherent status update to other tenants, yet Tom was always on top of the newest developments and able to explain where we were in the larger scheme of things. He made sure to schedule regular meetings with me and the other named plaintiff so we understood what had happened and what would happen next. Before depositions and court appearances, he made time to meet with us to explain what we would need to do (but never pushed us to say or omit anything). When we eventually made it to court, I was genuinely impressed with Tom's ability to tie together years of complex legal developments into simple stories and compelling arguments. I'm not just happy with him because we eventually won a significant settlement, but because I think he did a serious, honorable job and never lost sight of who he was asked to represent: new immigrants, students, grandmothers, retired people - a whole spectrum of working and middle class West Philly residents. He considered the value of settlement offers not just for himself, or for me and the other named plaintiff, but for every member of the entire class, because we all understood that we were in this together. Even if we'd lost, I would still feel that I bet on the right lawyer. If I'm made him sound angelic, you should know that he does not take *any* crap from the other side. We won because he is a competent, level-headed scrapper. This was a fight and we won because Tom is a superb fighter. Highly recommended.

Mr. Marrone was terrific. He is conscientious and patient yet determined. It was very important for me to be taken seriously and talked to with respect. Mr. Marrone takes the time to get to know someone before he gets down to business. Dignity is everything. When he does get down to business, he does so with a passion for justice one usually only sees in the movies. I recommend him to eveyone I know.
"I can't stand it when big guys pick on little guys," explains Thomas More Marrone. "I grew up in a family of immigrants. I grew up with the 'little guys.' They were my grandparents, my mom and dad, my aunts and uncles and cousins… so I take that kind of thing very personally."
After an 11 month stretch that included two class action jury trials resulting in a settlement and a verdict combining for well over $15 million, several substantial personal injury recoveries, successful business and employment negotiations, and hundreds of satisfied clients, Tom Marrone has created his multifaceted firm, MOREMARRONE LLC.
His mission: to right wrongs. His method: creative thinking, hard work, passion and compassion, and a refusal to quit.
Licensed to practice in the State and Federal courts of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York, Tom has extensive experience and great success handling difficult, complex cases, especially class actions and collective actions, cases involving personal injury, employment, wage & hour claims, insurance matters, product liability, consumer protection, consumer fraud, deceptive practices, legal malpractice, and wrongful use of civil proceedings.
Marrone also advises individuals and businesses on a variety of matter, including crisis prevention and crisis management. A seasoned Class Action trial lawyer, Marrone also offers consultations with other lawyers on Class Action and Complex Litigation theory development, implementation, and trial strategy and tactics.
Tom has served as court-approved class counsel in cutting edge class actions involving, among others, privacy issues, insurance coverage, wage & hour, the Fair Labor Standards Act, health insurer liability, consumer fraud, catastrophic flooding, fire, consumer protection, property damage, and toxic substances.
The son of first generation Americans, his inspiration is personal: "My father grew up in North Philadelphia, served in the Navy, worked his way through school, and then sold law books for 35 years. He would tell me stories about the great lawyers he met; that's where I really learned to appreciate the good things a smart, persistent lawyer with guts can do for people," added Marrone, "I won't be out-worked and I won't ever give up."
"My dad had a great admiration for lawyers who used their knowledge and their expertise to fight for people who couldn't fight for themselves. He thought that was the highest calling, and I am very lucky that he passed that on to me. I got my toughness from my dad and my sense of justice from my mom, who was raised in South Philadelphia."
Tom is a member of Million Dollar Advocates Forum and his peers have regularly selected him as one of their best. He has been and is currently listed as one of the top 5% of Class Action/Mass Tort Lawyers in Pennsylvania by Super Lawyers, as one of the Lawdragon 3000 Leading Plaintiff's Lawyers in America, one of The Best Lawyers In America for Personal Injury, and as a member of The National Trial Lawyers – Top 100 Trial lawyers in Pennsylvania, and 1 of only 5 Top Attorneys for Class Actions peer-chosen and named in SJ Magazine. Tom has earned an "AV" peer rating from Martindale-Hubbell. According to Martindale-Hubbell this rating indicates "the highest level of legal ability and ethics. The pinnacle of professional excellence." He has earned a perfect "10" AVVO rating as well, based on peer and client reviews and ratings. He is regularly invited to join other invitation only organizations honoring lawyer excellence.
Tom was formerly with Greenblatt Pierce Engle Funt + Flores, LLC as a partner and Chair of both the Class Action & Complex Litigation Group and Plaintiffs Personal Injury Practice. Before that he spent more than 15 years at Feldman Shepherd, where he was a partner and head of that firm's Class Action and Complex Litigation Group, and a Class Action and Personal Injury Partner at Caroselli Beachler.
His move from Feldman Shepherd was hailed by The Legal Intelligencer as one of the "Top Ten Laterals" of the year based on "the effect the departure had on the former firm, the impact the lateral addition represented for the new firm and the buzz around the market when the move took place."
Tom is often asked to comment in the media regarding legal developments, the media regularly recognize his efforts and successes, and he is honored as having two separate cases featured among The Legal Intelligencer's "Top PA Verdicts & Settlements of 2014":
· A $4.85 million total settlement on the fourth day of jury trial in a Certified Class Action arising from a catastrophic apartment building fire in West Philadelphia. The court certified a class on behalf of all tenants, residents, and guests who were left immediately homeless, suffered near total loss of their personal property, and suffered economic harm. On behalf of the class, Tom Marrone sought compensatory and punitive damages for negligence and public nuisance against the owners and managers of the apartment building. As a result of the settlement the members of the class will receive full recovery for their losses and, more importantly, priceless peace of mind. The case received considerable media attention
· An $820,000 settlement from the United States of America on behalf of a quarry worker who suffered electrical burn and other injuries because he followed the instructions a U.S. Mine Safety Inspector gave him during a surprise inspection. The case had been pending in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.
More recently, in October 2015 Tom won a jury verdict and an $11 million final judgment after a 5 week Class Action jury trial against Star Career Academy, a New Jersey for-profit school, under the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act ("CFA"). The jury found that Star committed Consumer Fraud by engaging in unconscionable commercial practices, concealing material facts, and/or misrepresenting material facts regarding the accreditation status of Star's Surgical Technology Program. The class includes more than 1000 students.

Borrow or Lease?
Apples and Oranges. Very different from one another, yet each makes a great snack. Car loans and leases. Both will allow you to get a new car with monthly payments. But each have their own distinct advantages and differences that may or may not be right for you. In your search for a new car, it makes sense to consider both before making a final decision.
Buying your Car with a Loan
The only way you'll ever own your car is if you buy it. And with car prices creeping higher and higher, most people can't plunk down the full purchase price of a car, so they take out a loan instead. When you borrow money, the institution you get the loan from owns the car until you pay it off. As you make payments on the car, you're building equity in it until it's totally yours at the end of the loan. Throughout the term of the loan, you are free to put on as many miles and make any modifications you want to the car. Excess wear and tear is not a concern when you take out a loan (except at trade-in time!) since you'll own it when the loan is done. What's more, when the loan is paid off, the car is yours to keep with only insurance and maintenance expenses to think about. Sound like a good deal? It is -- to the right person. You'd probably be better off taking a loan on your new car if you...
- Would rather own your car at the end of the term
- Average more than 12,000-15,000 miles per yea
- Use your car under extreme conditions
- Tend to keep your car for several years
- Are not overly concerned with driving a new car on a regular basis
- Prefer to pay less on your car in the long run.
Leasing Your Car
Car payments for many are a way of life. As soon as you get one car paid off, or even before, another one catches your eye and the payments return. If this is you, a lease might make sense. With a lease, you are basically renting a car long term and making payments based on the depreciation cost of the car. That usually means lower monthly payments. You can drive a car in your price range for less, or move up to a more expensive vehicle for the same amount as a loan payment on a less expensive car. Some very attractive lease rates are out there, often subsidized by the auto manufacturers themselves. Popular models - or models that hold their value - tend to be a better deal since they depreciate less during the lease period.
Along with your lease will come some restrictions. Mileage usually ranges between 10,000 and 15,000 miles per year, with charges per extra mile. "Excess wear and tear" can take a bite, and dealers can be picky - especially when you're just turning the car in and going elsewhere for your next car. Finally, leases can be very complicated and wind up costing you more than you thought -- so lease with care.

QUENTIN DEMPSTER, PRESENTER: Here is a story about the regions. Helen Tzarimas reports.
HELEN TZARIMAS, REPORTER: At Goulburn, the police started an internal investigation into claims of sexual harassment and bullying at the local area command. The police say a complaint has been lodged, but they haven't released the details.
Plans for a residential estate on a large property near Cowra have been agreed to in general terms by the Shire Council. The project is a little bit tricky; it's close to the prisoner-of-war camp, the Japanese gardens and the peace precinct. There's also Aboriginal history and heritage and steep terrain to contend with.
The grog trade in the Snowy Mountains might be staggering a bit if the local council gets its way. Snowy River Shire wants to curb binge drinking so it's asking the Federal Government to put up some money to pay for an anti-drinking program. The Council's hoping to entice binge drinkers away from the pubs by providing alcohol-free entertainment and a soup kitchen. Saturday night won't be the same.
And they're doing some curbing on the far south coast. Young people are being breathalysed before going into events such as alcohol-free rock concerts. If they turn up drunk, they're denied entry, put into a safe area and told to wait until their parents pick them up. It seems to be working. Last Saturday night, 200 young concert-goers at Moruya were tested and they all passed.
And finally, dental health at Cobar should improve soon. Services will resume next month when a Brisbane-based group takes over the vacant local surgery. Two dentists will work full-time at the practice, and the company says they'll be fully qualified with three to four years' experience and a desire to extend their skills base.

Why should medical ethics matter?
Medical ethics has properly gained a foothold in the public square. There is a national conversation about euthanasia, stem cell research, fertilization and embryo implantation techniques, end-of-life care, prenatal diagnosis of serious diseases, defining death to facilitate organ donation, cloning and financial conflicts of interest. Nearly every day, we read (or click) on a headline highlighting one of these or similar ethical controversies. These great issues hover over us.
We physicians face ethical dilemmas every day in the mundane world of our medical practices. They won't appear in your newspapers or pop up on your smartphones, but they are real and they are important. Here is a sampling from the everyday ethical smorgasbord that a doctor faces. How would you act under the following scenarios?
--A physician has one appointment slot remaining on his schedule. Two patients have called requesting this same day appointment. The first patient who called has no insurance and owes the practice money. The second patient has medical insurance coverage. Neither patient is seriously ill. Who should get the appointment?
--Two hours before a doctor is to see a patient, her husband calls to relate private information that he fears the patient will not share with the physician. Should the physician disclose this conversation to the patient? What is the risk if she discovers at a later time that a confidential conversation occurred?
--A patient has been non-compliant with medical care. He has missed appointments and does not take his medication reliably. The physician is contacted by a local emergency room after the patient arrives there for a medical evaluation. Can the doctor ethically decline to treat this patient who has repeatedly rejected the physician's advice?
--Many physicians dispense medication samples to their patients. Is this practice ethical in that it raises drug prices for everyone since drug companies must fund these giveaways?
--An attorney contacts a physician to testify against a fellow doctor who is accused of committing medical malpractice. The physician and the accused doctor both work in a small community hospital. The facts suggest that a medically negligent act has occurred. Is the physician ethically obligated to testify against his colleague?
--A cardiologist decides not to accept smokers in his practice as he views this behavior as a direct attack on his medical treatment and strategy. All smokers in his practice are notified that if they do not quit within six months that they will need to select another physician. The cardiologist states he will actively counsel and treat all smokers on the available options for nicotine addiction. Can this physician ethically dismiss smokers from his practice who can't or won't quit?
--A patient asks a doctor to fill out a temporarily disability form for back pain present for two weeks prior to the office visit. During this time, the patient did not seek any medical care. Is it ethical for the doctor to sign off on this request?
While none of the examples above will make the front page of your morning newspapers, they are newsworthy. They are under the radar, but need to be exposed. While the public square is crowded with the monumental ethical controversies of the day, we need to reserve a small corner there for everyday ethics. Ethics in the office should not be a private matter. Become a subscriber!

New Jersey Panel Redraws 14 Congressional Districts Into 13
By WAYNE KING,
Published: March 21, 1992
NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J., March 20— In a strict party-line vote decided by its neutral chairman, a bipartisan commission carved Representative Frank J. Pallone Jr.'s Third Congressional District into four pieces today and threw Mr. Pallone into a potential race with another Democratic incumbent, Bernard J. Dwyer.
Democrats on the commission had pushed a plan that also targeted Mr. Pallone, but their map would have done less damage to his home base and would have thrown him into a probable race with a Republican incumbent, Christopher H. Smith.
The new district map, made necessary because population shifts caused the state to lose one Congressional seat, will mean a realignment of the present delegation, eight Democrats and six Republicans. Barring the unforeseen, the new lineup is likely to be seven Democrats and six Republicans, or, if the Republican scenario plays out and either Mr. Pallone or Mr. Dwyer goes into the fall election with a weakened base, seven Republicans and six Democrats.
Raymond Lesniak, the state Democratic chairman, said Democrats were sorely disappointed with the new districts but had agreed to the process and would do nothing to try to upset it. Minority Votes Concentrated
The new map, which requires only routine certification by the Secretary of State to become final, barring successful court challenges, creates a district in Hudson and Union Counties that is 43 percent Hispanic and 9 percent black.
The new lines also further concentrate the black population in the 10th Congressional District, which elected Donald Payne, New Jersey's only black Representative. Increasing the black voting bloc there from the present 58 percent to 62 percent, the Democrats complained today, unduly concentrated blacks to limit their influence.
Mr. Pallone, who had expected to be the target of the new plan, said from his Washington office that he would have no comment on it. Although his most likely opponent now seemed to be Mr. Dwyer, he could still opt for a race against Mr. Smith. Mr. Pallone's spokesman, Paul Loud, said he did not know when a decision would be forthcoming. Praise for Chairman
The redrawn Congressional map, which was opposed by the six Democrats on the redistricting panel, was adopted this afternoon after the commission chairman, Alan Rosenthal, director of the Eagleton Institute of Politics at Rutgers, cast the tie-breaking vote in favor of the Republican plan, which he described as the fairer of the two. Mr. Rosenthal is a registered Democrat, but even after the vote both Democrats and Republicans praised him as even-handed.
Even so, the Democrats pronounced themselves concerned and even appalled at the outcome.
Joseph V. Doria Jr., the former speaker of the State Assembly and now the minority leader, called the partitioning of the Hudson County area he represents "an abominable situation" that amounted to "a gerrymander, perhaps unintentional."
The new Congressional district, he said, emerged in a peculiar configuration. "The Hudson district looks like a frog on its back, praying for help," he said. "I respect the decision made by Dr. Rosenthal, but I don't agree with it."
Democrats on the panel also protested the dismemberment of Mr. Pallone's shore district in Ocean and Monmouth Counties. The new map split the district among Mr. Pallone, Mr. Smith, Mr. Dwyer and a fourth congressman, Dick Zimmer, a first-term Republican. Black Votes Concentrated
The new district lines reduce Mr. Pallone's base to about 40 percent of his old district. Mr. Dwyer keeps only 54 percent of his, and Mr. Zimmer and Mr. Smith keep more than 60 percent of theirs.
Beyond the implications the new lines have for the Democrats, Mr. Doria and a Democratic Assemblyman, Wayne Bryant of Camden, the only black member of the redistricting commission, maintained that the further concentration of blacks into the 10th District, represented by Mr. Payne, diluted influence of black voters outside the district.
The predominantly black district was created by court edict in 1982, and further enhancement of the black majority, the two Demcorats maintained, amounted to "packing."
"The court felt that 57.8 percent was enough to elect an Afro-American, and they were right," Mr. Bryant said.
Mr. Doria also complained that while the new 13th District would be 43 percent Hispanic, the Republican contention that an additional 9 percent of the voting population was black was misleading "because 6,000 of them are in Rahway Prison, and they can't vote."
But Mr. Rosenthal, the commission chairman, said that both maps, the Democrat and the Republican versions, essentially met the basic requirement of a redistricting plan that was fair and would withstand court scrutiny. Concern About Continuity
One such requirement, he said, is numerical equality, and the 13 districts on the new map are identical to within a single person at 594,630 in 11 districts and 594,629 in two others. Other requirements are that the map not fragment minority communities, that the districts are contiguous and that every effort be made "to the fullest extent reasonable to preserve continuity in districts from decade to decade."
Mr. Rosenthal said he favored the Republican plan over the Democratic one because it better fulfilled the last requirement of continuity, although he acknowledged that doing so in a map that eliminated one district presented difficulties that were by no means entirely overcome.
He also acknowledged that while seniority in the delegation was not officially a matter of concern, "the clout of the delegation" was considered by the panel members, although he said it was not among his own considerations.
Mr. Rosenthal said, "My role was to acknowledge the partisan nature of the process, and then to nudge the two parties along" to a resolution.
He said that he had hoped for a consensus, but realized Monday that it would not emerge and "I would have to break a tie."
Although the commission's decision is intended to be final, a group called Save Our Shore District has already filed suit, maintaining that the Legislature abrogated its constitutional responsiblilty by delegating the redistricting question to a commission. Rick Kessler, a spokesman for the group, said nothing occurred today to cause the suit to be withdrawn.

Econometric Analysis Of Income Convergence In Selected Eu Countries And Their Nuts 3 Level Regions
The paper estimates equations for regional income convergence in selected EU countries and their NUTS 3 level regions during the European Union pre-enlargement period (1995–2002), using both spatial and non-spatial approaches. There has been absolute income convergence between regions in both the groups of countries looked at, the countries of the EU15, or the old member states, and the new member states or NMS. When national effects are included in convergence equations using country dummies, no evidence of regional income convergence can be observed. The results of the analysis assert the importance of regional policies in inhibiting the increase of regional income disparities and improving conditions for income growth, particularly within the new member states.
