How are JSP and Servlet related to each other? Is JSP some kind of Servlet? How are JSP and JSF related to each other? Is JSF some kind of prebuild UI based JSP like ASP.NET-MVC?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
JSP (JavaServer Pages)
JSP is a Java view technology running on the server machine which allows you to write template text in (the client side languages like HTML, CSS, JavaScript and so on). JSP supports taglibs, which are backed by pieces of Java code that let you control the page flow or output dynamically. A well known taglib is JSTL. JSP also supports Expression Language, which can be used to access backend data (via attributes available in page, request, session and application scopes), mostly in combination with taglibs.
When a JSP is requested for the first time or when the webapp starts up, the servlet container will compile it into a class extending
Servlet is an Java application programming interface (API) running on the server machine, which intercepts requests made by the client and generates/sends a response. A well known example is the
When a Servlet is first requested or during webapp startup, the servlet container will create an instance of it and keep it in memory during the webapp's lifetime. The same instance will be reused for every incoming request whose URL matches the servlet's URL pattern. You can access the request data by
JSF (JavaServer Faces)
JSF is a component based MVC framework which is built on top of the Servlet API, and provides components via taglibs which can be used in JSP or any other Java based view technology such as Facelets. Facelets is much more suited to JSF than JSP. It namely provides great templating capabilities such as composite components, while JSP basically only offers the
As being a MVC (Model-View-Controller) framework, JSF provides the

JSP is a specialized kind of servlet.
JSF is a set of tags you can use with JSP.
From Browser/Client perspective
JSP and JSF both looks same, As Per Application Requirements goes, JSP is more suited for request - response based applications.
JSF is targetted for richer event based Web applications. I see event as much more granular than request/response.
From Server Perspective
JSP page is converted to servlet, and it has only minimal behaviour.
JSF page is converted to components tree(by specialized FacesServlet) and it follows component lifecycle defined by spec.
[ Source : Complete reference:JSF ]
There are also situations where you can favor JSP over JSF. The application nature should be the deciding factor to choose the technology.
If you have a rich GUI interaction and lot of Java scripting needed then favor JSF. Basically if your GUI app architecture is like Component oriented & even driven like Swing then JSF is the best.
If the application is just a plain form submitting, not much of GUI interaction needed, then JSP could do well if learning a new tech is an overhead and also complex framework is unnecessary.
Servlet - it's java server side layer.
that is true that JSP is converted into servlet at the time of execution, and JSF is totally new thing in order to make the webpage more readable as JSF allows to write all the programming structures in the form of tag.
The basic difference between Servlets and JSP is that in Servlets we write java code and in that we embed html code and there is just reverse case with jsp . I JSP we write html code and in that we embed java code using tags provided by jsp.
JSP stands for JAVA SERVER PAGE........ jsp is not a servlet. Jsp uses code and HTML tag both in itself you dont need to make a HTML and a servlet seprately.Jsp are playing magnificent role in web application. Servlet is a java class plays an role to make your HTML page from static to dynamic .
Java Server Pages (JSP) is java technology which enables Web developers and designers to rapidly develop and easily maintain, information-rich, dynamic Web pages that leverage existing business systems. JSP technology separates the user interface from content generation, enabling designers to change the overall page layout without altering the underlying dynamic content.
Facelets is the first non JSP page declaration language designed for JSF (Java Server Faces) which provided a simpler and more powerful programming model to JSF developers as compare to JSP. It resolves different issues occurs in JSP for web applications development.
Here is a table that compares the features of scriplets and facelets:
Jsp is also having in built servlet code which don't need any external compilation it can be run directly run. Changes will take effect in jsp directly in a browser.
Servlet need to be compiled (i.e it will have specific class creation)
Jsf is a view component of MVC Framework
JSPs are the View component of MVC (Model View Controller). The Controller takes the incoming request and passes it to the Model, which might be a bean that does some database access. The JSP then formats the output using HTML, CSS and JavaScript, and the output then gets sent back to the requester.
JSP have it's own life cycle jp_init() jsp_service() jsp_destroy
After first request JSP convert to .java file. Here There is three type of tag we are using 1.)Scriptless
Here developer can declare all those things which developer want to take the data
2.)Expression tag
here Developer can use some print related data
Here developer can declare some method related data.
Servlet have it's own life cycle.
firstly After first request container will read the data from web.xml file then after out welcome fill will be display. Now onward after performing action it will search the url and after this process it will search the particular servlet there it self. service operation will perform.
JSF have it's own ui and it's life cycle can perform in six way,
For ui here for table here we are using panel grid and there is different faces for this that is.

Questioning Library Neutrality: Essays from Progressive Librarian presents essays that relate to neutrality in librarianship in a philosophical or practical sense, and sometimes both. They are a selection of essays originally published in Progressive Librarian, the journal of the Progressive Librarians Guild, presented in the chronological order of their appearance there. These essays, some by academics and some by passionate practitioners, offer a set of critiques of the notion of neutrality as it governs professional activity, focusing on the importance of meaningful engagement in the social sphere.

AES E-Library
Processing of Audio Signals with Extended Precision by TMS 32010
Originally the instruction set of the TMS 32010 is suitable for the processing of 16 bit word length samples with 16 bit coefficients. Several algorithms have been improved for the processor, which can ensure much more exact (up to 28*28 bits) internal precision. There are three subvarieties of the extended precision programs because of the data word length conversions. At last the paper describes the theoretical structure of a two channel multiprocessor modular processing system.

CHESTER Attorneys for a harness racing driver claim a poorly maintained track at Harrah's Philadelphia casino caused a crash that left him severely brain damaged last fall.
A lawsuit filed Tuesday in Philadelphia by lawyers for Anthony Coletta follows the state's suspension last week of Harrah's forthcoming racing schedule because the casino failed to comply with requests to address track surface issues.
Harrah's casino license is contingent on the Chester site's offering horse racing. The Gaming Control Board said Harrah's license is not in jeopardy at this point. The season doesn't start until March, and the state and Harrah's are continuing to meet to address issues regarding the track's quality, Gaming Control Board spokesman Doug Harbach said.

How can you clean this device? My son had pneumonia and used this last week. Home from hospital now and he is to continue using. I just would like to be able to clean the entire unit inside somehow. (I obviously have and can clean the mouthpiece, but it seems like moist air would be trapped inside and breed bacteria, like in a humidifier if you don't clean it...)

Woodward Dream Cruise 2006: Wagoner shows off the Camaro
As the annual Woodward event becomes ever more commercial, on Friday this year's General Motors promotion featured CEO Rick Wagoner starring in a Chevrolet cavalcade of Camaros, leading the way with the new Camaro concept. The Chevy parade wound up at the Athens Coney Island diner, for a final retro touch to the event.
With the new Camaro scheduled for a 2009 launch, expect the GM brass to put a lot of miles on the concept car in the next two years.
Looks like ex-basketball star Wagoner finds the chop-top profile of the concept car a bit cramped...

Narrow your search
While still a great all-around useful laptop, the 13-inch MacBook Air is stuck with a lower-res display and a design that's no longer cutting-edge.
Pricing not available
The new 11-inch MacBook Air is every bit as fast as the 13-inch Air, despite its smaller size, but you'll give up 2 hours of battery life in the bargain.
Pricing not available
This year's MacBook Air opts for gradual improvements rather than anything revolutionary, but lowered prices continue to make it the go-to mainstream recommendation for any MacBook owner-to-be.
Pricing not available
If you own a MacBook Air from the past couple of years there's really no need to upgrade, but a small spec bump and minor price cut make the most-current Air even more attractive.
Typical price: $1,199.00
Apple's 11-inch Air gets a CPU speed bump and a decent price cut over the already excellent 2013 version. If you have a recent model there's no need to upgrade, but for anyone else, it's now a better deal than ever.
Typical price: $1,099.00
Apple's upgraded MacBook Air is a seriously fast performer — even if you only use it as a Windows machine. The switch to Sandy Bridge puts Apple's travel laptop on the top of the portable pile.
Typical price: $1,449.00
This year's 11-inch MacBook Air improves on last year's model in several significant ways and is by far the fastest ultraportable you're likely to find, though some users will consider the limited flash storage space to be a hindrance.
Pricing not available
Apple's new 11-inch Air goes a conservative route in 2013, emphasizing longer battery life and more affordable pricing over any big design changes. The battery boost alone might be worth it.
Pricing not available
Apple's shiny MacBook is appealing, and oh so different than the MacBook Air. Just how different? Let's take a look.
Apple makes the MacBook Air both smaller and less expensive, creating an excellent ultraportable, but leaving out a few features along the way.

Items stolen from Renault Clio in Broome
16:52 02 October 2012
Archant Norfolk Photographic © 2011
A wallet, bag and a Lumix digital camera were stolen from a car in Broome last month.
The items were taken when a window of a black Renault Clio parked on the A143 was smashed between 10.45am and 1.05pm on Sunday, September 16.
A spokesman for the police said: "We are particularly interested in speaking with two women seen walking a dog in the area who were in a light blue car parked close to Clio.
"The victim spoke to the women and officers believe they could hold important information. "
Anyone with information should contact PC Camilla Burwood at Wymondham Police Station on 101 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

I have a strange HTTPS server here, that really doesn't like to see a connection that doesn't end up requesting some URL (it's an internal server-to-server API, so to be fair it isn't expecting to have many browsers/humans as clients). Unfortunately, when I do an SSL certificate age check with check_http -C, no URL request is sent. This server logs an error, and also (I think) memory leaks and eventually dies. I'd like to propose an extra option to check_http, that forces an URL to be sent during a certificate check (no need to change the current behaviour, that's normally just fine). The result of setting this option will be to suppress the early connection shutdown & return in check_http() when check_cert is TRUE, and to instead simply return the current value of result after the query has been sent, and the connection closed normally.

Recently I did an article for a seniors newsletter about phishing. Specifically the perennial "limited time to add your cell phone to the national do not call list before bad stuff happens" scam. While this particular instance is more hoax than phishing since the number to call was, in fact, the real number for the do not call list the opportunity for a phishing variation is definitely there. This got me to thinking again about why computing in general and social networking in particular are so senior-unfriendly. I've written this about this issue in the past here and here but it's always seemed a little bizarre to me that no major personal computer manufacturer has thought about tapping this enormous and growing market. There are some minor players starting to get into this market according to this article on the BBC.
A new computer aimed at people aged over 60 who are unfamiliar with PCs and the internet has been unveiled.
The simplified desktop – called SimplicITy – has just six buttons directing users to basic tasks such as e-mail and chat.
The computer comes pre-loaded with 17 video tutorials from television presenter Valerie Singleton.
The SimplicITy computer has no log-in screen when started up, and contains no drop-down menus. It opens straight to a front page called "square one" containing separate clickable buttons for e-mail, browsing the web, files (for storing word documents and photos etc), online chat and a user profile.
The e-mail system is a modified version of an Italian design called Eldy. All SimplicITy users with an eldy.org address will be able to chat to each other via the "chat" button.
The computer is built using Linux operating system, a free operating system that can be customised by users.
If people decide they no longer need the SimplicITy desktop, they can replace it with a standard Linux desktop.
Unfortunately these are also a one-off kind of deal and therefore carry a relatively hefty price tag.
Each made-to-order computer takes two weeks from request to delivery and can be ordered by post.
It's not all that cheap – systems range from £299 [~$500] without screen or keyboard to £525 [~$880] for a complete system.
From what I can tell reaction to this computer system has been lukewarm to negative and almost universally snarky. Of course those reactions have been from younger people like BBC Technology correspondent Rory Cellan-Jones who quips:
There are some people who will undoubtedly feel patronised by the very idea of a computer for older users and others will ask why they shouldn't be taught to use Windows like just about everybody else.
But he also points out a very valid issue when it comes to selecting computing equipment for elders in this entry on the BBC News dot.life blog.
Simplicity is swimming against the tide, and may find some resistance, not from older customers, but from sons and daughters who'd rather see their parents learn the same system as themselves.
Yep – nailed it in one. Being primary technical support for a truly frightening number of older folks I know this to be absolutely true. But exhaustive yet completely unscientific polling and anecdotal evidence have led me to believe that the following statements are common to all older computer users:
My computer sucks.
My [son|daughter|younger friend]'s computer works great.
That's why I got mine.
But my computer sucks.
Okay I'll admit that I paraphrased a bit but I think it reliably captured the essence. So why does grandma want a computer? As opposed to why do the grandkids think grandma wants a computer. Here's what I think based on that exhaustive yet unscientific research.
- Medicare, Social Security and insurers are increasingly moving online. If you want to interact with them you need a computer.
- Staying in contact with the family. All the grandkids are on FaceBook and use Twitter. Everybody puts photos on Flickr and sends invitations through email.
- Staying abreast of current news. Hey, the local newspaper is either going, gone or online and TV news is for losers.
While there are probably a few other reasons that drive grandma's desire for a computer, please note that "making videos" or "digitizing music" are not among them. The biggie is the first reason which is why it was cleverly positioned at #1. Grandma has no choice. As much as you would like to believe that the others are more important, the bottom line is that it's just not practical to be an analog senior any longer. So why exactly aren't HP and Dell marketing the heck out of computers for seniors? Maybe they aren't aware of the market [doubtful] or maybe they haven't been talking to the right people and think they already have such a unit among their existing offerings [most likely].
So lets help them out, shall we? Feel free to chime in with comments here. What would be the attributes of the perfect computing device for seniors? Well how about we start with some physical basics:
- It's got to have a full size keyboard and a decent size display. Small form factor keyboards and screens are a non-starters. Netbooks are out. Smart phones are out.
- It should be portable. In every respect, including WiFi. This thing will be traveling to every family get together from now on. And who wants to wire their house for ethernet?
- It has to have the right pointing device for the user. Some folks like trackballs, some like tablets, some even like joysticks. Not everyone likes, or can use, a mouse. And almost nobody can use a laptop touchpad without a great deal of angst. And who needs that aggravation?
- It doesn't need a very powerful processor. An older low-power processor would be fine since [pay attention here younger helpers] nobody is going to do any video editing on this machine. Ever. But increased battery life would really be swell.
- It doesn't need huge amounts of memory. Yeah, I know that most popular operating systems tend to expand to fill the available resources but that just proves that modern operating systems bite wind. And have [again pay attention here younger helpers] stupid amounts of cool features that nobody will ever use. Ever.
- It doesn't need a killer 3-D video subsystem. As much as you might hope, grandma is not going to play Halo 3 or Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. Ever. If she really wants to play games she should get a Wii. Not a PC.
- It needs a fast internet connection. Essentially everything that grandma wants use her new computer for is online. Slow internet = bad user experience.
So that's a reasonable start on hardware, how about software? What does grandma really need to do the stuff she wants? Well, first we should forget all that ancillary stuff to protect the system from bad engineering (err… malware. I meant malware. My bad) and select an operating environment that is fast, safe and easy to use. Yep, that pretty much leaves Windows out. But we're getting ahead of ourselves. Here's the critical software list.
- A web browser. Pretty much everything that grandma wants to do is online and accessible via a browser. Email, banking, insurance, FaceBook, and Twitter. There are web sites that mashup or aggregate multiple social networking sites. Even text editors and other applications. Pretty much everything out there in the cloud.
- A password safe. Anything that's done in the cloud requires some kind of authentication, usually user name (or email) and a password. And lame authentication is useless. Just ask Sarah Palin. Everybody, not just grandma, but everybody should use a password safe. That way you only have to remember one password (the safe password) and let the password safe generate unique industrial strength passwords for everything else.
- A good bi-directional firewall. Don't worry – grandma will never see this and any decent operating environment will ship with a good one installed and enabled by default.
Well this is interesting. It's looking like Google Chrome OS might be just the ticket for seniors. When it comes out next year. Except that Google is targeting Netbooks as their initial platform and we've already determined that Netbooks are a non-starter for seniors. Actually a MacBook might be a good choice, except for the high price and wealth of useless (for grandma) software that that comes with a Mac. So maybe the SimplicITy folks have it right. Maybe a lightweight Linux distro is a good place to start. I mean that's really what Chrome OS is under the covers, the covers being Google's Chrome browser.
So how about it Dell or HP? How about building an inexpensive, full size, low power, portable PC with a choice of input devices [test drives available!], loaded with Google Chrome OS or maybe a minimal version of Ubuntu or OpenSUSE with Firefox or Chromium [Chrome for Linux]. Or maybe Apple could release a senior-friendly MacBook without all the spiffy iLife stuff and make it affordable. But whoever steps up be sure and forget the crapware from your partners and instead throw in some slick training demos on things like "how to get online" and decent [non-advertising] setup wizards for networking. Or maybe you could just partner with SimplicITy and use those video tutorials with Valerie Singleton. It would be wise to ask yourselves if in this economy you can afford to alienate a growing market by ignoring their needs.

WASHINGTON -- Poisonous gas was pumped for a third day into the Hart Senate Office Building to kill trace amounts of anthrax spores in the heating and ventilation system.
"Everything is just moving along, and it's simply a matter of doing engineering and mechanical things to keep it working right," Environmental Protection Agency spokeswoman Jennifer Browne said Sunday.
Technicians under the direction of the EPA on Friday began pumping chlorine dioxide gas into the heating and ventilation system of the southeast quadrant of the building, an area that tested positive for anthrax spores after an earlier fumigation effort.
Browne said the gassing had been extended beyond one day as a precautionary measure. Another chemical, sodium bisulfite, will be used to break down the gas. Throughout the process, a specially equipped EPA bus monitors the air outside to guard against any dangerous releases.
The building has been closed since Oct. 17, two days after an aide to Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle opened an anthrax-tainted letter. Daschle said Sunday he was confident the fumigation efforts were having the proper effect.
"There is a reasonable possibility that we'll see that the building opens sometime in the early part of next month, perhaps as early as next week," he said on NBC's "Meet the Press."
The EPA used chlorine dioxide gas to kill anthrax spores for the first time in early December, spreading it in Daschle's suite of offices among two floors. Officials have said they hope this will be the final fumigation using chlorine dioxide gas. Liquid and foam decontaminants were used in 11 other senators' offices in a building that provides work spaces for half the 100-member Senate.
To test the effectiveness of the gas, technicians left in the building gauze wipe samples that contain a bacteria more resistant to the chlorine dioxide than this strain of anthrax. If the gas kills those bacteria, it is a good indicator that the anthrax also is dead.
Capitol Police Lt. Dan Nichols said Sunday the work was not being rushed. "This is the site of the largest bioterrorism attack in the United States," he said. "It's reasonable to be patient."

Fresh Air Weekend: Angela Ricketts; Chaz Ebert And Steve James
Fresh Air Weekend highlights some of the best interviews and reviews from past weeks, and new program elements specially paced for weekends. Our weekend show emphasizes interviews with writers, filmmakers, actors, and musicians, and often includes excerpts from live in-studio concerts. This week:
An Army Wife Charts Her Struggles In 'No Man's War': In her new book, Angela Ricketts writes about raising three kids while her husband deployed eight times over 22 years. Each separation "kind of blackens your soul," she says.
'Life Itself': An Unflinching Documentary Of Roger Ebert's Life And Death: In late 2012, filmmaker Steve James and Roger Ebert began talking about filming a documentary based on Ebert's memoir. Ebert's wife, Chaz, agreed. They didn't know that he would die within months.

Two plant regeneration methods applicable to Leucaenaleucocephala were developed. In the first method, involvingorganogenesis via callus formation, cotyledon, hypocotyl and root segments wereinitiated on MS medium containing different concentrations ofN6-benzyladenine (BA), 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), andnaphthaleneacetic acid (NAA). Both compact (type I) and friable (type II) calliwere obtained from the cotyledon and hypocotyl explants treated with differentconcentrations of the growth regulators. Shoots were generated only from thefriable calli formed from the cotyledon explants. The calli formed from thehypocotyl explants did not generate shoots and the root explants died withoutforming callus. Cotyledon explants from 3–4 day old seedlings showedmaximum callus induction compared to those from older seedlings. In a secondmethod involving direct organogenesis, excised cotyledons were cultured on 1/2MS medium containing 10–35 mg l−1N6-benzyladenine (BA) for 7–14 days. Transfer of thecotyledonsto regeneration medium containing low BA resulted in callus formation andsubsequent shoot regeneration from the base of the excised cotyledon explants,with up to 100% frequency. Regenerated shoots rooted best on a basal mediumcontaining no growth regulators.

Sorry for bumping an old topic, but can you please elaborate on how you were able to get it removed? I have a similar situation right now. This CA has picked up a debt that was included in BK in 2006 and they reported it as being opened in 2010 and now are calling me about it. I called Verizon and verified that it was included in BK and right now I'm waiting on my BK lawyer to get me a copy of the BK so I can have it in writing. His secretary said she would have to download it at .10 a page, I said no problem, go for it! So hopefully I'll get that today.
I disputed with the CRAs already and included the BK info and #. I'm sure this is dragging my score down greatly since they just started reporting it this year and said it was from 2010, when in reality its already nearly 6 years old.
I'd appreciate any insight on what I should do to force them to remove it.
While the thread is 3 years old, OP was last on in this June. It'll be a long shot if they see this.
If you disputed without the BK docs, then I'd wait until the dispute concludes before considering any options. Maybe the CRA will see the BK and put two and two together.
Which field was showing the 2010 date? Was it the open date or DOLA? If so, that's normal. It refers to when the CA took over and DOLA can change with anything, like a payment, dispute, etc. I wouldn't worry about the date. I would worry about the TL though. I'm not knowledgable on BK rules, but I suspect if it was included they shouldn't be reporting.

U.S. Economy Expands as Labor Markets Improve, Fed Says
The Federal Reserve said the economy expanded at a "moderate" pace across much of the U.S. in February and March, led by manufacturing, with labor markets showing improvements in most regions.
"While many districts described the improvements as only moderate, most districts stated that gains were widespread across sectors," the Fed said today in its Beige Book report in Washington. While higher commodity costs compelled sellers to try to raise prices, pressures to increase wages were "weak or subdued."
The report may reinforce views this month from Chairman Ben S. Bernanke's top two lieutenants, Janet Yellen and William C. Dudley, that the economy is recovering without enough strength to warrant withdrawing record monetary stimulus. The Fed, while keeping the benchmark interest rate close to zero since 2008, is aiming to boost growth by completing $600 billion of Treasury purchases through June.
"Reports focusing on the near-term outlook were most often upbeat," the Fed said in its anecdotal survey of the economy released two weeks before meetings of the policy-setting Federal Open Market Committee. "Some districts, however, also noted that uncertainties remained high," with seven citing disruptions to sales and production from Japan's tsunami and nuclear disaster, the central bank said.
'Strengthen Modestly'
The last report, released March 2, said the job market "continued to strengthen modestly" throughout the country. Today's report was compiled by the Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond and based on information collected before April 4 by the Fed's 12 district banks.
U.S. stocks rose, with the Standard & Poor's 500 Index gaining 0.2 percent to 1,316.39 at 3:11 p.m. in New York. Yields on 10-year Treasuries declined to 3.46 percent from 3.49 percent yesterday.
"Growth remains steady but weak," said Diane Swonk, chief economist at Chicago-based Mesirow Financial Inc., which manages about $51 billion.
Manufacturing is expanding because of exports and demand from businesses rather than from household spending, she said. "Businesses have money, consumers do not."
The report underscores the rationale for the Fed to complete its bond-buying and keep interest rates low for an "extended period," Swonk said.
Economists forecast the U.S. economy will expand at a 2.9 percent annual pace this year, according to the median estimate of 74 analysts in a Bloomberg News survey conducted from April 1 to April 7. That compares with a 3 percent median projection in March.
Select Location
General Electric Co. said last week it will select a location in about three months for a U.S. solar-panel plant that will employ about 400 people and may be the country's largest.
The Fed's preferred price measure, which excludes food and fuel, was up 0.9 percent from a year earlier in February, the most since October. Including all items, prices rose 1.6 percent, compared with a 1.2 percent 12-month increase through January, the biggest monthly increase since December 2009.
"Wage pressures were described by most Districts as weak or subdued, but higher commodity costs were widely reported to be putting increasing pressures on prices," the Fed said today.
Top Fed officials have indicated they are in no rush to follow the lead of the European Central Bank in raising interest rates.
'Surge' in Prices
Yellen, the Fed's vice chairman, said April 11 that "the surge in commodity prices over the past year appears to be largely attributable to a combination of rising global demand and disruptions in global supply."
Dudley, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, said April 1 that the recovery is "still tenuous," while Bernanke said April 4 that higher commodity prices may have a "transitory" effect on inflation.
"We're fully aware that consumers are still relatively constrained," Brian J. Dunn, chief executive officer of Richfield, Minnesota-based Best Buy Co., the world's largest consumer-electronics retailer, said on a March 24 conference call.
The FOMC, which next meets April 26-27 in Washington, said at its last session March 15 that the economy is on a "firmer footing" and unanimously affirmed plans to buy the Treasuries through June. Bernanke will hold his first press conference following the FOMC's statement on April 27.
Rate Fell
The economy added a greater-than-forecast 216,000 jobs in March, and the unemployment rate fell to the lowest level in more than two years, marking a drop of a full percentage point over four months. A Labor Department report today showed job openings increased in February by the most since December 2004, a sign companies are turning more optimistic about hiring.
"Most districts reported that labor market conditions were generally stronger than in their last reports," the Fed said today. "Wage pressures were reported to be mostly contained."
Manufacturing in the U.S. expanded in March at close to the fastest pace in almost seven years, while service industries grew less than forecast, according to recent reports.
All 12 districts reported a pickup in manufacturing since the last report, with regional industries expanding including auto and auto parts, commercial aircraft and fabricated metal products, the Fed said. Non-financial service companies "generally reported expansion," with growth in areas including advertising and seasonal accounting services.
'Little Changed'
The housing market was either "little changed from low levels" or weaker across the country, the Fed said. Commercial real estate "remained weak across all districts," while seven regions reported "slight improvements" since the last survey.
The central bank said last month that housing "continues to be depressed." Sales of existing homes decreased 9.6 percent to a 4.88 million rate in February, while purchases of new homes fell in February to the lowest level on record. The pace of home starts in March almost matched a record low from two years ago.
Total U.S. loans and leases have declined to $6.69 trillion as of March 30 from $6.78 trillion at the end of 2010. Commercial and industrial loans have increased to $1.24 trillion, the highest in more than a year, from $1.23 trillion, while consumer loans have dropped to $1.08 trillion, according to Fed bank data.
"Most districts cited loan demand as either unchanged or slightly improved since the last report, although many of the districts citing improvements noted weak demand in some market segments," the Fed said today.

Commodities Rise to Two-Week High on 'Accelerating' Economies
Commodities jumped to a two-week high as U.S. private-sector job growth and expanding Chinese and European manufacturing bolstered optimism in the global economy.
The Reuters/Jefferies CRB Index of 19 raw materials jumped 2.5 percent to settle at 308.91 at 5:34 p.m. New York time, the highest level since Nov. 12. Grains and industrial prices led the rally. Wheat soared as much as 7.9 percent, and cotton rose more than 3 percent. Copper gained the most in almost four weeks and crude oil added 3.1 percent.
"The U.S. has certainly emerged from the slowdown," said James Paulsen, chief investment strategist at Wells Capital Management, which manages about $350 billion. "Most of the emerging world, including China, is still accelerating. Commodities will continue to do well."
U.S. companies added 93,000 jobs in November, ADP Employer Services said. That topped the 70,000 median estimate of 40 economists surveyed by Bloomberg News. China's manufacturing expanded at the fastest pace in seven months, while Europe's grew the most in four months.
"Acceleration in the economic growth will probably impact the industrial-commodity prices the most," Paulsen said. "Energy and industrial commodities are going to lead the way next year."
The CRB index has climbed 21 percent since July 1 as the U.S. moved to bolster growth.
Wheat futures in Chicago posted the biggest gain in seven weeks as excessive rainfall threatened to reduce grain quality and delay the harvest in Australia.
Cotton climbed the most allowed by ICE Futures U.S. after India, the world's second-largest grower, announced yarn-export limits.
Corn rose as much as 4.3 percent on speculation that China will increase imports of agricultural goods to damp inflation.
Among CRB components, only cocoa and hogs posted a decline.

Hey All.
Have a secure SSL certificate purchased for a website, but it's set up for "www.mysite.com" and the wordpress site is set up as "mysite.com".
Trying to add the "www" to my site URL in order to get the SSL to work and am running into issues.
I've been able to successfully change the url through my database, and navigate through my site with the www added to the URL, but whenever I attempt to log-in at mysite.com/wp-admin, it automatically reverts back to my old www-less url.
Really weird bug that I really need to get figured out....anyone have any ideas of where to look into this issue?

AFTER ESCORTING Bill Barber and Brian Propp to the 1982 NHL All-Star Game, Flyers director of team services Joe Kadlec returned to the historic Mayflower Hotel in Washington and stopped at the bar for a drink.
When Kadlec arrived at the lounge, he saw not one but two familiar faces singing on stage near the piano.
The first one, singer and actress Gloria Loring - married to Alan Thicke at the time - was easily recognizable. The second one, his boss and Flyers general manager Keith Allen, was a little more surprising.

The first thing that hits you as you enter the lobby is the overwhelming stench of bug spray and mold which turned out to be 24/7. It is obvious that the owner does not spend a dime to improve or in this case replace anything, regardless of its condition. The room was as bad as the lobby and carpeting, bedspread and furniture were all seriously stained ..UGH!!!

Hello all,
This is my first post... be kind.
I'm moving from a rapidweaver site (mac dev software) to WP.
I am building the WP site in a subdirectory: http://www.mysite.com/newsite/
What is the best/easiest way to migrate from the subdirectory to the main.
Also, are there any config files I need to change?
Thank you all!

LOS ANGELES -- Los Angeles Kings general manager Dean Lombardi must have thought the kid was putting him on. While he sat in the home of Drew Doughty before the NHL draft two years ago, Doughty, who was raised in London, Ontario, a city halfway between Toronto and Detroit, said he grew up as a huge Kings fan and dreamed of one day wearing the team's silver and black uniform.
Surely this was a line he had used with the other teams who had stopped by to visit him. Doughty's father, Paul, was a Montreal Canadiens fan, and his mother, Connie, was a Toronto Maple Leafs supporter. There was no way a Canadian boy living in this household dreamed of playing for a team in Los Angeles, a team that had made the playoffs only four times and had won just a single postseason series since making the Stanley Cup Finals in 1993.
Sensing Lombardi's skepticism, Connie took Lombardi, and the rest of the Kings' management team who had traveled to their home, upstairs to Doughty's room and opened the doors to a scene straight out of a 1990s Kings catalogue.
There was a Kings pillowcase, a Kings phone, old jerseys of Wayne Gretzky and Kelly Hrudey pinned to a wall and a couple of Gretzky posters taped to another wall. These weren't items he had just purchased to impress the Kings' brass, these were dusty collectables Doughty had accumulated over the years.
"My mom hasn't changed my room since I was a little kid," Doughty said. "I haven't lived there since I was 15, so my mom never changed it, but I was a big Kings fan growing up because of Wayne Gretzky. He's my favorite player, and when I was really young he played for the Kings and that became my team."
As impressive as his Kings-themed room was, Lombardi was more impressed by the framed jerseys Doughty had after playing for Canada in the World U-17 Hockey Challenge and the World Junior Hockey Championship. It wasn't so much that Doughty was a key member of those squads. Lombardi already knew that. It was that Doughty didn't frame the jerseys to show his name and number on the back as many players would. Each one had the Canadian maple leaf facing forward.
"It was truly indicative of what he's all about," Lombardi said.
Needless to say, Lombardi was sold on Doughty before he left the home but he wanted to give this self-proclaimed Gretzky nut one more quiz. So as they sat with Doughty at the scouting combine three weeks before the draft in Ottawa, Lombardi played a game of fill-in-the-blank with Doughty:
"Wayne Gretzky was a ...?" he asked.
Doughty shot out one noun after another but none of them was the one Lombardi wanted to hear. Doughty was a player who could change the fortunes of the franchise; Lombardi needed to know how he envisioned himself and the Kings in the future.
"Champion," Doughty said. "Playmaker. ... Role model. ..."
Finally, Doughty blurted it out: "Winner!"
That's all Lombardi wanted to hear. Soon after, Lombardi would learn that Jack Ferreira, the Kings' special assistant, had written the magic word on a slip of paper and held it up behind him so Doughty could see it. Lombardi still has the piece of paper taped up in his office.
"I'll always remember that interview," Doughty said. "It makes sense now. He wants winners. That's Dean's philosophy. If we want to win a Cup, we need winners on the team and I feel like we have a lot of those guys in the dressing room and that's why this year we feel we have a good chance to win the Stanley Cup."
Doughty smiles and looks down at his skates, shaking his head, as he hears the names of players he recently has been compared to.
Bobby Orr, Serge Savard, Ray Bourque and Nicklas Lidstrom.
The 20-year-old Doughty may be young, but as a student of hockey who watches old games with the same conviction as a cinema major devouring classic films, he understands the significance of being mentioned with those legends.
After a recent practice, Doughty reflects on the fact that he's a defenseman at all, let alone someone you might compare to the all-time greats.
"I always wanted to play forward," Doughty said. "I switched from forward to defense when I was 12. They wanted me to play D in camp because they were a little short on defenseman and I was supposed to go back to forward when the team was made, but they kept me back on D and obviously it worked out for the best."
He remembers his junior coach deciding to switch him to defense, despite the fact that Doughty was the top scorer on the team. The coach told him he could be a complete player: scorer, playmaker and defender, and eventually Doughty started to embrace the role.
"It was real tough at first," Doughty said. "I was one of our top forwards and I loved getting points and I was pretty good defensively. When I was told they wanted me to switch back there I wasn't too keen on the idea and it took a lot of convincing from my parents and from the coach to finally do it, but I finally did it."
Though he loved to score, Doughty was actually a defensive player at heart.
He had been a goalie when he played soccer, a sport he played competitively until he was 13.His father and mother played soccer, his sister Chelsea was named after their favorite soccer club in London and as a boy Doughty had once thought he had just as much chance to make it on the pitch as he did the ice.
"I think one of my best attributes is my vision," said Doughty, who was named after Drew Pearson, the former Dallas Cowboys receiver who was his mom's favorite player. "As a goalie in soccer you have to read situations and see where other players are and I think playing soccer for all those years did help me be a better defenseman. I've always been blessed with great vision. I don't know what it is, but it's probably the best thing about my game."
Well, that and his mesmerizing spin-o-rama, an elusive pirouette with the puck that has become his signature move on the ice. He certainly didn't invent the move, which was popularized by Orr and Savard, but he may actually execute it better than any of his predecessors.
Doughty doesn't remember the first time he attempted the move. He claims it just came to him naturally on the ice as he was trying to elude another player when he was 12 years old.
"When I was real young and started doing it, I actually got benched because they told me it would never work in the OHL or NHL, so I guess I proved them wrong," Doughty said. "It's one of my favorite moves. Some people might consider it risky or showboating, but in my opinion it's just a good move to make. I feel comfortable doing it now. Even if the checker reads the spin-o-rama on me the worst that can happen really is I backhand it back into the zone and we start the cycle again. It's really not that high risk in my opinion."
Kings coach Terry Murray smiles when he's asked about Doughty's spin-o-rama. He remembers watching Doughty step onto the ice for the first time at Kings training camp two years ago and executing the move effortlessly against grizzled veterans who marveled at the youngster's control of the puck.
"You can tell a player that has it," Murray said. "And he has it. It's natural for him. It comes easy, it's instinctive, there's no hesitation through the thought process. He just goes out and plays the game. From the first day of his first training camp we knew we had a special player."
Willie Mitchell knew what kind of player Doughty was before Mitchell signed with the Kings in the offseason. The 33-year-old defenseman, who is is now Doughty's linemate, was on the Vancouver Canucks team that outlasted the Kings in six games in the first round of last season's playoffs.
Doughty had already established himself as one of the best defensemen in the game before playing his first postseason game. He had been named a finalist for the Norris Trophy (given to the NHL's top defenseman) and is the odds-on favorite to become the second-youngest recipient of the trophy this season, after losing out to Duncan Keith of the Chicago Blackhawks last season.
He led the Kings in ice time during the 2010 season and postseason, and tied for the team lead in goals and points against the Canucks after a thrilling Game 3 performance in which he tied Kings playoff records with three assists and four points.
Even Canucks fans, who had seen Doughty carry the Canadian flag around the ice after Canada's thrilling 3-2 overtime win over the U.S. in the Olympic gold medal game two months earlier, cheered every time his name was called.
Doughty had certainly established himself as one of the league's up-and-coming stars when he first met Mitchell, a respected journeyman who had played for five teams since 1999 after playing six years of college and junior hockey.
Mitchell had been all over the map during his NHL career and was simply looking to fit in when Doughty came to him after he signed his contract recently and said, "Willie, you can take my number."
Mitchell, who had worn the No. 8 in Vancouver, couldn't believe the offer. Doughty was a Norris finalist and gold-medal winner wearing the No. 8. His first Kings sweater even had the number -- well "08" to be exact -- to signify the year he was drafted.
"I was surprised. He's played so well with the No. 8, but I just think that speaks volumes about who he is as a person and how he respects the game," said Mitchell, who graciously declined the offer and took No. 33 instead.
Doughty laughs when asked why he would give up the number with which he has become identified.
"It's not a big deal," he said. "It's just a number."
So says the player who first won over Lombardi and the Kings' brass two years earlier by framing the front of his jerseys instead of the back.

But he did say his buddy should have taken out his AR and proned the guy out for exercising a legal right. And can an OC'er actually make a furtive movement for his gun? Can someone with that attitude make a good judgement call between furtive and nervous? Particularly if he has predetermined his plan of attack so to speak. And will most of the people reading this even see what furtive means? If he keeps his job I hope this wakes him up to how ridiculous an idea this was.
FURTIVE MOVEMENTS -- "Furtive" means secretive or concealing, and the law requires a totality of circumstances here. The movement cannot possibly be construed as an innocent gesture (looking both ways before crossing the street). Nervousness alone is not sufficient as the law recognizes the right of people to be nervous or fearful around police. The movement cannot also be possibly the sign of a mental condition. There must be something secretive given the time, setting, weather, and audience. It would be best if the furtive movements were identifiable with a particular type of crime.
