In this IBM Redbooks publication, we describe how to configure the various components of an e-business solution to exploit the availability and scalability benefits of zSeries and Parallel Sysplex using multiple LPARs running Linux for zSeries and z/OS. This publication applies to WebSphere for z/OS V6, and is a continuation of the project evaluating high availability using WebSphere for z/OS V5 and V4. Presented in three parts (theory, systems setup, and availability tests), we cover workload balancing, the use of HTTP sessions, various architectures, and how to set up and test your infrastructures. Considerations for configuring the systems and applications in an e-business environment are also examined, and we address such questions as: - Should there be separate front-end systems for running the WebSphere Application Server? - How should e-business components be configured to minimize or eliminate the impact of a system outage? - What is the best way to communicate between the WebSphere systems and the back-end application systems? - What is the impact on the end user if there is a failure in one of the front-end or back-end systems?

As fifteen-year-old Garth is wrestling with the promise he made his mother to wait a while before coming out, his somewhat secretive uncle shows up unexpectedly for an extended visit.

Civilian leaders interpret the value of war in terms of political ends, while military leaders often pursue victory itself as war''s object. An empowered military can therefore make war harder to end. Estimates from international conflict data show that termination of a war short of victory is more likely when civilian leaders become more politically dominant. However, civil-military consequences for war termination arise from more than outright shocks to political power. Survey experimental evidence demonstrates that senior U.S. military leaders can use typical political activities to recruit public support for persisting in wars and create costs for elected leaders who want to end them. Finally, qualitative analysis of the U.S. post-9/11 wars and text analysis of a new data set of congressional testimony yield evidence of military dissent and its influence on presidential policy decisions. Altogether, this dissertation moves beyond war termination''s civil-military problem, which is about whether and how to stop fighting, and sheds light on the problem of its civil-military politics, which is about how to define war''s end but also how to resolve competing claims.

Students in economics classrooms are increasingly digital natives, raised in a culture of engagement, expression and learning through online interactions using technological devices. We have turned the concept of a ''selfie'' into an instructional tool for students to demonstrate their understanding of economic concepts, as well as to engage personally with those concepts. A student self-assessment survey supports the expectations of the literature that the EconSelfies assignment leverages the power of visuals and narratives to help students link themselves with introductory economics material for improved learning outcomes.

This thesis considers readdressing previous proposals for developing an urban riverfront presence in downtown Athens, Georgia. There have been several proposals for connecting the downtown core to the North Oconee River. As infill development continues downtown, the opportunity for sensible urban expansion to the river edge exists. Athens has a similar history to many other American cities founded on an edge of water. It includes the familiar progression of founding the city based on the river asset, exploiting its water resource to power a manufacturing economy, and ultimately neglecting it after technological change shifted the markets, leaving the river an abandoned environmental brownfield, disconnected from the urban realm. The goal is to provide information, site design proposal and strategies that will create a motive for Athens to consider smart development options to connect the downtown to its river, establishing an urban river presence.
