Severe Storms Target Gulf Coast Christmas Eve, Day
11 AM EST December 23, 2012
By WeatherBug Meteorologist, John Bateman
A potent system moving out of the Southern Plains will help spark off some strong-to-severe storms as we move into the Christmas holiday. Strong winds around this system, along with warm, moist air from the Gulf, will help fuel thunderstorms in the Lower Mississippi Valley on Monday and keep them going into Christmas Day across the Southeast.
The thunderstorms that bubble up Monday will generally start in the late-afternoon and evening across southeastern Texas and western Louisiana. Afternoon highs in the 70s and a strong southwesterly wind will kick off these storms and maintain them as they trek across the Deep South. As evening wears on, it appears the risk for severe storms will slide eastward ahead of the low pressure center and cold front, into central Louisiana and Mississippi.
Some cities potentially in the path of these storms Monday include Austin, Waco, and Lufkin, Texas. By evening, the storms will be rolling into locations like Lake Charles and Alexandria, La. The main threat from these storms will be wind gusts of more than 60 mph; however, due to a fairly strong wind field with this system, some isolated tornadoes will also be possible anywhere in the slight risk area.
Once the storm pushes eastward Christmas Day, the focus will switch to the Deep South and Southeast. By this time, this storm system will be bringing a better chance for severe storms over a much wider area. Once again damaging winds will be the main threat, but tornadoes will also become more likely as the afternoon wears on. Some locations potentially at risk include Houston, New Orleans, Jackson, Miss., Birmingham, Ala., and eventually Atlanta by Tuesday evening. Some storms could even last into early Wednesday morning as the system slides across the Southeast.

While some Arab governments appear to have successfully fought off the worst effects of the global economic crisis, long-term challenges loom.
May 12, 2009 3:06 by Ed Blanche
At the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) summit in Doha in late March, Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, the emir of Qatar, warned that the collapse of confidence wrought by the global economic crisis "has affected the Arab world more than others. Given its location and resources, its issues and problems and its previous and subsequent conditions, the Arab world is in the path of the wind, and the eye of the storm."
The economic gloom got short shrift at that summit, overwhelmed by the perennial divisions in the Arab world that had been sharpened by Israel's invasion of the Gaza Strip and the threat of an expansionist, nuclear Iran.
That may have been because the six GCC states – Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman and Bahrain – which form the economic nerve center of the Arab world, have been cushioned by the vast reserves they have accumulated over six years of soaring oil prices (Saudi Arabia alone made $1 billion a day when prices were hovering around $150 a barrel in 2008).
The GCC countries have stored huge amounts of cash in government-controlled investment funds, although it's hard to tell how much; they are not in the habit of disclosing figures to the public.
All have taken emergency measures, primarily massive fiscal-stimulus packages to bail out their banking systems as the crisis has engulfed them. What happens with the GCC will weigh heavily on the poorer Arab countries that depend so much on them. Egypt alone is expected to lose as much as half of the $6 billion a year it receives in remittances from some two million of its nationals who have been working in the Gulf.
So how successful have the Gulf states been at countering the global downturn, and averting dangers that still lie ahead?
Saudi Arabia, the Arab world's largest economy and the globe's leading oil exporter, has avoided much of the carnage and continues to pursue an expansionist public policy vigorously, with a 36 percent increase in project spending. But then the kingdom has, as one analysis put it, "enough overseas reserves to pay for four complete annual budgets, without drawing on any other income."
Even so, the Financial Times (FT) concluded in January that direct state intervention has done little to address the crisis, and in some cases has meant throwing good money after bad. The Doha Stock Exchange continued to fall even after a government bailout, and has lost more than a quarter of its value so far this year.

I'm new to Java and I have to create a value object, (maybe it's called mapped object in Java) but my code doesn't seem to work, here is the value object:
package ....;
public class User {
private int id;
private int uid;
private String name;
public User()
// do something here
and I assign a new value object like this:
public boolean some_function()
User u = new User();
return true; // got a breakpoint here
So if I comment out "User u = new User();" I will go to the breakpoint but if I keep it like above it will just stop running.
On a side note, I keep both the files in the same folder so eclipse doesn't import the file, is this correct or should I import it?
After some time I found out that I had to import the file manually, I thought I tried that but apparently I didn't.

The fiery Ferrari crash last weekend that critically injured Russian billionaire Suleiman Kerimov has turned a spotlight onto the playgrounds of the ultrarich.
Though the crash occurred on the Riviera, just a quick hop away -- by private jet -- is London, where a disproportionately high number of billionaires have settled, according to this year's Forbes magazine survey of the world's richest people.
London's shops, exclusive nightclubs, and top-notch private schools cater to them -- famed department store Harrods has an entire department of personal shoppers to fulfill their every whim.
And members-only nightclubs like Annabel's make sure to keep the riffraff -- like lowly millionaires -- behind the velvet ropes.
Of the 23 billionaires based in London, only 12 are British. The rest come from places as far-flung as India, Iceland and South Africa.
At the top of the London list, and ranking as the world's fifth-richest person overall with a fortune of $23.5 billion, is Indian steel magnate Lakshmi Mittal.
Close behind is the Russian owner of the Chelsea Football Club, Roman Abramovich, who ranks the world's 11th-richest person with $18.82 billion.
Yet another Russian, oil tycoon Leonard Blavatnik is said to be worth $5 billion; Dutch heiress Charlene de Carvalho-Heineken inherited her $5 billion fortune from the brewing empire of her late father, Freddy Heineken.
They're not exactly household names.
While many American millionaires like a little attention (Donald Trump, anyone?), these billionaires are a fairly anonymous and low-keyed lot -- except to each other.
Why is London an attractive place to settle?
"Billionaires are, by nature, [a] peripatetic lot," said Paul Maidment of Forbes. "They can afford to own property on many continents, and do. Their business interests and their investments are global. … In a sense, they are citizens of no country but the self-contained universe of the superwealthy."
And London has many unique attributes: "Number one, it's a tax haven, but it's the cocoon and isolation from the rest of the world they want," Maidment said.
Low taxation is a major enticement.
Russian oligarchs and Arab petrobillionaires are lured to London by British Chancellor of Exchequer Gordon Brown's willingness to allow 60,000 foreigners to escape paying tax on income and investments held abroad.
London's innovative and open financial markets are another draw for the superrich.
The billionaires already invest in real estate and gold bars, and stow away dollar bills in Swiss bank accounts.
London offers them a convenient plethora of banks with marble floors and investment firms with elegant pillars, which are scattered across the poshest residential districts: Mayfair, St. James and Belgravia.
According to Richard Skinner, a strategist for Price Waterhouse Coopers: "The time difference is optimal for trading with the Middle East, and London is a bridge between North America and Asia. Being able to conduct business in the English language is another draw, not to mention being able to find your own set of people in London, whether it be Arabs, Asians or Russians."
Furthermore, the political stability that the United Kingdom enjoys is an invaluable benefit. The politicians and bureaucrats aren't corrupt, and there is a sound legal system.
