Getting around
There are regular buses in high summer from Merihas to Dryopida (€1.20), continuing to Kanala (€2.20) or Hora (€1.30). Less-regularservices run to Loutra (€2.20). The buses supposedly meet the ferries, but usually they leave from the turn-off to Hora in Merihas. Outside school holidays the only buses tend to be school buses.
Taxis (6944743791) are a better bet, except at siesta time. It's €12 to Hora and €7 to Dryopida. There are, however, only a few taxis on the island.

The High Street Historic District in Hartford, Connecticut is a 1.1 acres (0.45 ha) historic district that includes three buildings, all contributing. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.[1]
The district is significant in that it embodies many characteristics of late-19th century and early-20th century commercial architecture, and it illustrates the rapid commercial growth of Hartford after the U.S. Civil War.[2]:8
This district consists of three properties on the block of High Street between Allyn and Asylum Streets in the Downtown Hartford neighborhood. One building located at the southwest corner of Allyn and High is the Judd and Root Building. Another building is the Batterson Block located in center of the street block on the east side. The Batterson Block was built by James G. Batterson, whose first business was the New England Granite Company. Batterson went on to found the Travelers Insurance Company in 1863. The third building is the Capitol Building located at the northwest corner of Asylum and High. Judd and Root and Batterson Block are individually listed on the National Register, while the Capitol Building is a town historic site. The Capitol Building is an office building located across Bushnell Park from the Connecticut State Capitol.[2]:12

I like the style of this pouf. The crocheted cover is texturally interesting and the red color isn't too bright. The cover does keep needing to be pulled and cinched around the insert though-- I can't seem to get it tight and secure. I'm mostly disappointed that it's so small, though. I actually went back and changed my order to the larger 20" size but I'm not sure where that measurement comes from. When it's next to my 18" cube ottoman, it's much smaller. I guess it just depends what you're buying it for. As a lounge cushion it works. Or maybe as a seat for a toddler.
Purchased this one and it was horrible . Had purchased 2 other similar ottomans which were great. This product was not even put together! Came with a gaping hole and under stuffed. Looks horrible. Trying to return but not having any luck so I'm out $**. Waste....of...money!

China sends largest fishery patrol ship to Spratlys
BEIJING -- China said Friday it has sent a new patrol ship, the largest in its fishery administration fleet, to the disputed Spratly Islands in the South China Sea on a "law enforcement mission".
According to the official Xinhua News Agency, the 4,950-ton "Yuzheng 312" left Guangzhou, capital of south China's Guangdong Province, at 10:30 a.m. to begin its maiden patrol of the Spratlys, which are known in China as the Nansha Islands.
Xinhua said the ship, which other Chinese media have described as a converted former oil tanker of the navy's East China Sea Fleet, has a navigation capability of 2,400 nautical miles with a maximum speed of 14 knots.
China has over the last year been beefing up its patrols around the Spratly Islands, which are claimed in whole by China, Taiwan and Vietnam, and in part by the Philippines, Malaysia and Brunei.
Xinhua noted that early last month, the South China Sea Fishery Bureau under the Ministry of Agriculture announced that patrols will be conducted on a daily basis in the South China Sea from next year to safeguard the "legitimate interests" of Chinese fishermen.
"A noticeable improvement will be seen in our enforcement capacity in the next two years, as the bureau has entered a period of rapid development," the bureau's chief Wu Zhuang was quoted as saying then.
According to the China Daily, the country's fishery administration began exploring ways to better protect fishermen's interests in the South China Sea in 2012, as rows between Chinese fishermen and naval vessels of neighboring countries constantly flared up in the area.
"Thanks to our more frequent patrols and quicker responses, no Chinese vessels engaging in normal fishery operations in the Nansha waters were illegally seized by foreign countries last year," Wu said, noting that the bureau's fishery patrol ships stayed at sea for a record high of 183 days on average.

One Million Volunteer Service Hours Valued at $23 Million
(Santa Ana, CA) County volunteers last year contributed more than one million hours of service valued at $23 million in avoided costs for County government. To recognize that contribution, the Board of Supervisors will pay tribute to the achievements of the 25,400 volunteers at the tenth annual Countywide volunteer recognition ceremony on April 21. The event will begin at 8:30 a.m. in the Board Hearing Room of the Hall of Administration (HOA), 10 Civic Center Plaza in Santa Ana. A reception will precede the ceremony at 7:45 a.m. Photo opportunities will immediately follow the event. "We are extremely fortunate to have dedicated volunteers who are willing to give so selflessly of their time to serve our community," said County Executive Officer Thomas G. Mauk. "They are a vital resource in improving County services and programs." The diverse group of honorees encompasses student interns, a Sheriff Reserve, a Park Ranger Reserve, a female pilot, two husband and wife teams, retirees, and business owners. Their ages range from the early 20s to mid 80s. Each honoree has made a valuable contribution that tells a distinct story about his or her experience. The stories of Raul Ramirez, Reserve Lieutenant Scott Klappenback and Linda Rehart epitomize the volunteer spirit. Adult literacy tutor Raul Ramirez was once a non-English speaker himself and understands the struggles of learning the language. His experience serves as motivation for the many volunteer hours he has donated since August 2001 to the Orange County Public Library's READ/Orange County Literacy Services. Ramirez moved to Southern California from Mexico in 1955. His first English teacher came in the form of televised cartoons. He was able to further develop his English skills through his service in the Army and with the help of his wife, who only spoke English when they met. Over his years of service to the Public Library, Ramirez has coached more than 45 adults who come from a variety of backgrounds. Many students are non-English speakers working on their own skills and others who want to be able to teach their children better reading skills. "It's very rewarding," said Ramirez. "I'm paying back to the community because they helped me when I needed it." K-9 handler Scott Klappenback and his four-legged partner, Roan, have worked side by side at the Orange County Sheriff's Department (OCSD) for the past three years specializing in drug detection. Together, they have handled more than 350 routine patrol calls, more than 100 requests for narcotic searches and detected more than 50 narcotic finds. Reserve Lieutenant Klappenback began volunteering with the OCSD Reserve Division in 1979. Becoming the first Reserve officer to serve as a board member on the Orange County Police Canine Association is a mark of Klappenback's long-term commitment with the OCSD. When Park Rangers at Heritage Hill Historical Park were tasked with identifying antiquated farm implements surrounding the Harvey Bennett Ranch House, they knew they could count on Linda Rehart to find historically accurate answers. "If I need to know any historical information about one of the artifacts in our buildings," said Park Ranger Diane Wollenberg. "Linda is the expert I go to." A mother of nine, grandmother of 19, and full-time nurse, Rehart spends much of her limited free time as a volunteer docent at Heritage Hill Historical Park. The restored and furnished buildings throughout the park represent the early history of the Saddleback Valley and El Toro area and are an ideal setting for the tours Rehart leads while donned in period clothes. Rehart's commitment and enthusiasm are shown in the variety of tours she leads that bring the park's history alive. In one of the four interpretative tours the park offers, Rehart guides local Scouts in a hands-on experience through the historical buildings. More information on the County's volunteer recognition ceremony, directions to the HOA and parking instructions are available online at Volunteer.

I'm working on this problem and sort of stuck on one part. To set it up I basically have two nodes Node 1 and Node 2 that use sliding window protocol with 3 bit sequence. Go-back-n ARQ is used with window size of 4. Node 1 is sender, Node 2 is receiver.
If Node 1 sends frame 0, 1, 2 and Node 2 receives them and sends back ACK 1 to Node 1 and Node 1 receives the ACK.
This means that Node 2 only received frame 0 only?
So Node 1 would look like this? http://i.imgur.com/x2mQO.png
And Node 2 would look like this? http://i.imgur.com/tSh15.png

Facing Up to the Truth About Social Security
Last week I was invited to Washington D.C. to participate in an elite panel on the future of retirement savings, a discussion sponsored by the Aspen Institute. One highly respected expert started talking about investments and savings, noting that along with Social Security, they were the basis of boomer retirement income.
I could barely contain my reaction as I waved my hand to comment:
"If you believe in the Social Security 'Trust Fund,' you must also believe in the tooth fairy!" I said.
There was stunned silence. I suggested that if we were to come up with solutions, we'd have to start from the truth.
And the truth is, this recession has brought the Social Security crisis even closer to the brink. The recent rise in unemployment translates into a sharp drop in payroll "contributions." The problem of the future is now in the present. Since the late 1980s, the government budget has been combining the "accounting surplus" in the so-called Social Security "trust fund" with the continuing requirements of government spending. Thus, this year's $1.8 trillion budget deficit, or whatever it turns out to be, is consuming almost every bit of that "surplus" that was supposed to be accumulating to pay baby boomers' retirement benefits! Open that "shoebox in Maryland" (if you don't understand that expression, you are so young, you will get nothing from Social Security) and all you'll find are paper IOUs from the federal government.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Sustainable Development
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT 2006 Sustainable Development Introduction As society 's concerns toward the future increases -and also future generation 's ability to enhance their quality of life- , discussions of sustainable development become increasingly significant . This is inline with the direction to which firms grow . Firms have grown from merely tools for profit to become `individuals ' with responsibilities toward their environment . Firms are now demanded to have a social responsibility toward the community , which means , they are demanded to do more than just `clean up their mess , but also to take
part in activities building the society
This argument brings the issue of sustainable development even more integral to society 's perspective of a `responsible company Furthermore , with the existence of leading edge technology to support business activities , the demands to use the same amount of technological effort in ensuring enhancement of sustainable development are growing Within this , we will discuss how corporations design systems to enhance innovation for sustainable development Innovation and Sustainable Development
II .1 Role of Invention and Innovation
Invention and innovation is an important component of modern societies According to Merton Flemings , director of the Lemelson -MIT program invention is focused applications of the human mind to the world resulting original creation intended for practical functions . It is the `spark ' where all activities in the modern world begin . Innovation is on the other hand , the practice of bringing inventions to its perform their designed functions , through creative thinking , investment and marketing (`Invention and Innovation , 2003
In the realm of economy , invention is not a linear process that could directly produce economic impacts . It requires complex interaction between the realm of human creativity , technology and the market before it can result significant economic impact . However , it has been noted that countries that manage to practice significant level of modern inventions and innovations is experiencing significant growth and on their way to become global leaders . Examples of these countries are China and India . Nevertheless , a study reported that only minority of the world 's countries is practicing appropriate levels of modern invention and innovation (`Invention and Innovation , 2003
There are many reasons explaining these phenomena . Within this we will elaborate one of them as an example . Governments rather than the private sector bring most inventions in developing countries . This reflects the technology-push phenomena that are considered `not constructive ' for long term development . Dominated by technology-push factors , society would be trained to think that inventions are something that are given to them instead of things that they must strive to produce (`Invention and Innovation , 2003 . In the long term , the rate of invention for these countries would generally be lower compare to other nations
The more positive constructs of inventions are the ones dominated by technology-pull factors . Within the technology pull factors , societies are driven by their own demands and necessities to perform creative efforts that will finally produce invention or innovation . The construct reflects independence and larger potential for sustainable development (`Invention and Innovation , 2003 II .2 Role...

PoliticsIsrael court to hear hunger striker's appeal Supreme Court brings forward case of Khader Adnan, detained without charge, as he battles for life after 66-day fast. 21 Feb 2012 07:34 GMT | Politics, Middle East, US & Canada, Israel, United States Palestinians jailed in Israel are to stage a 24-hour hunger strike in solidarity with Adnan [Reuters]Israel's Supreme Court is set to hear an urgent appeal for the release of Khader Adnan, a Palestinian detained without charge, who has been on hunger strike for more than nine weeks, his lawyer said. The court had been due to address the appeal on Thursday but the case was brought forward by two days following an appeal by lawyer Jawad Bulus on behalf of his client. Last week, Bulus lodged an urgent appeal with the court to lift the administrative detention order on Adnan, who on Monday marked his 65th day of a hunger strike over his detention. The court at first said it would hear the case on February 23. But Bulus made a fresh appeal on Monday to advance the hearing, prompting the court to reschedule the hearing, a court spokeswoman said. Palestinians jailed in Israel are to stage a 24-hour hunger strike in solidarity with Adnan, the association of Palestinian prisoners said. Marches and demonstrations are also planned for Tuesday in the Occupied Palestinian Territories. 'Apply pressure on Israel' Randa Adnan, his wife, told Al Jazeera on Sunday: "I still have hope that he will be released and come back home healthy." in depth: No food without freedom Feature: Randa Adnan: 'I still have hope' Op-ed: Saving his life is saving our own soul Op-ed: Starving for freedom Support grows for Palestinian hunger striker Earlier, Saeb Erakat, the chief Palestinian negotiator, urged world leaders to pressure Israel to free Adnan. "I sent messages to US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton today, and spoke with the EU and Chinese envoys," Erakat told AFP news agency. "I asked them all to intervene in Adnan's case. They must apply pressure on Israel to release him," he said. Israel arrested Adnan, a 34-year-old baker, on December 17 near the northern West Bank town of Jenin, where he once served as a spokesman for the Palestinian group, Islamic Jihad. He told lawyers and human rights organisations that masked soldiers violently broke into his house, where his mother and children were present. Adnan said that his hands were shackled behind him and that he was thrown onto the floor of the military jeep and kicked and slapped by soldiers while they took him to the settlement of Mevo Dotan. He began refusing food a day after his arrest and is now said to be in critical condition. Widespread condemnation World leaders have expressed growing concern over the fate of the prisoner, who is being held without charge under a procedure known as "administrative detention". There are currently more than 300 Palestinians being held in administrative detention by Israel, without charge or trial, for renewable periods of six months, without any way of defending themselves. Palestinian officials have warned that his death in custody could start a violent backlash, while a spokeswoman for the Israel Prisons Service said on Sunday that they were "constantly monitoring" the situation. "We understand the implications of this case," Sivan Weizman said. But on Monday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office went on the offensive, with a spokesman describing Adnan as "a dangerous terrorist" despite the fact he has yet to be charged with any security offences. Until now, Adnan has not been charged and the military court that approved Adnan's detention has refused to release any details on the reason for his arrest or ongoing imprisonment.Source: Al Jazeera and agencies

text: Computer Engineering and Intelligent Systems www.iiste.org ISSN 2222-1719 (Paper) ISSN 2222-2863 (Online) Vol 3, No.4, 2012 An Evolutionary Approach to Optimizing Cloud Services Dipanshu Agrawal* Heera Lal Jaiswal Ishan Singh K. Chandrasekaran Department of Computer Science and Engineering. National Institute of Technology, Surathkal, Karnataka, India – 575025 * E-mail of the corresponding author: firstname.lastname@example.com Abstract In this paper, we propose an optimized scheduling algorithm for cloud services. We propose a Genetic Algorithm for optimum allocation of Virtual Machines (VMs) that permit maximum usage of physical resources. We describe the fitness function and the GA operators in detail and how they manipulate the problem space. Keywords: cloud computing, service optimization, genetic algorithm 1. Introduction CLOUD COMPUTING is becoming more and more popular in organizations around the world as it allows sharing of computing resources that are distributed all over the world. It is generally used for on-demand storage and processing power. The user/software agent accesses computing resources as general utilities that can be leased and released. The main benefits are the user avoids up-front costs, lower operating costs, reduced maintenance cost, and scalability on demand. The cloud features adaptability to user's need. In Cloud computing, each business process is broken down into a set of abstract services. Each service encapsulates some functionality using its interface. A concrete service is selected at runtime to fulfill the function. A Service Level Agreement (SLA) is defined upon a business process as its end-to-end Quality of Service (QoS) constraints. Different concrete services operate at different standards of QoS, and an appropriate set of concrete services needs to be selected so that it guarantees the fulfillment of SLA, while keeping the costs as low as possible. This problem is a combinatorial optimization problem which is known to be NP-hard i.e. the number of solutions is huge, and there is no efficient algorithm to search for the optimal solution. Genetic Algorithms have been known to produce near-optimal solutions to NP-hard problems efficiently (Davis, 1991). It is a search heuristic that mimics the process of natural evolution. This heuristic is routinely used to generate useful solutions to optimization and search problems. Genetic algorithms belong to the larger class of evolutionary algorithms (EA), which generate solutions to optimization problems using techniques inspired by natural evolution, such as inheritance, mutation, selection, and crossover. Problems which appear to be particularly appropriate for solution by genetic algorithms include timetabling, optimization and scheduling problems, and many scheduling software packages are based on GAs. GAs have also been applied to engineering. Many of their solutions have been highly effective, unlike anything a human engineer would have produced, and inscrutable as to how they arrived at that solution. (Goldberg D. E., 1989) Hence we propose that VM service allocation problem be attempted to solve using a Genetic Algorithm Framework. 2. Related Works Many Approaches to scheduling cloud services were presented in some papers (A. K. Amoura, 2002) (M.A. Iverson, 1999) (G. Koole, 2008). Most of these algorithms do not consider the interdependencies between the services and the communication constraints involved between them. The majority of complex cloud applications invoke multiple services which often communicate with each other. This kind of collaboration must be taken into account while allocating resources. 47 Computer Engineering and Intelligent Systems www.iiste.org ISSN 2222-1719 (Paper) ISSN 2222-2863 (Online) Vol 3, No.4, 2012 The Dependence allocation problem of services is known to be NP-Hard (G. Christodoulou, 2007) (Hochbaum, 1996) (K. Lenstra, 1990). Many Heuristic algorithms are present to solve this problem to a near-optimal solution. However there is a lack of practicable solution for cloud computing systems because most as such are multiple-QoS constrained. The existing algorithms present in Open-Nebula and Eucalyptus [9] are constrained heavily, as they use very simple algorithms that may though provide an acceptable solution, but generally fail to produce the optimal solution. Eucalyptus offers a Greedy algorithm and a Round-Robin algorithm. While the Greedy algorithm looks at the immediate future need, the Round-Robin algorithm just cycles between available Virtual machines to allocate resources to them. (Horgan, 2011) Open Nebula [10] on the other hand uses slightly more sophisticated algorithms. Its uses match-making i.e. for each immediate request it ranks all available VMs and selects the most highly ranked. Ranking policies are aimed at minimizing the number of nodes in use or maximize the resources available to each VM in a node. (Thiago Damasceno Cordeiro, 2010) 3. Problem Modelling Consider a business process containing n tasks T1, T2, T3…..Tn. For each task Ti (1 ≤ i ≤ n) there are li candidate services that can perform the task. Users may impose some constraints on the amount of resources consumed such as execution time, price etc. Let there be m resources (r1, r2, r3……rm) that are constrained. Then, the QoS-based service selection problem involved in service composition is, in fact, how to select one service for each involving task from its corresponding existing candidate service group, so that the overall QoS of the constructed composite service can be maximized while the constraints set by users are satisfied. These services can be modeled as Directed Acyclic Graph, an example of which is shown in figure 1. The arc forms the dependency set dij, where Ti is called the parent task of Tj, and dij is the data produced by Ti and consumed by Tj. For each task Ti (1 ≤ i ≤ n) there is a set of services that can fulfill that task. These are called the candidate service instances si = (si1, si2, si3…smi)... We need to form the optimum selection of candidate services such that the overall QoS is maximized. Let fij be the QoS score of the jth candidate service for the ith task. It can be formulated as: ∑ ∑ (1) ∑ 1 ∑ 1 (2) Where xij = 1 if Task 'i' is fulfilled using service 'j'otherwise 0. And R is the upper limit of the resource r set by the user. 4. Optimization Policy We would not get into details of any network topologies and assume the cloud to be Centralized. Let us consider a set of VM requests, a set of interconnected computing nodes connected by a network. The computing nodes are different kinds of ordinary PCs, servers, and even high performance clusters. The cloud provides virtual machines that run on these physical resources to the client which accesses them through internet. The CPU speed (usually the number of cores), Memory capacity and Hard Drive capacity in consideration, which is most of the existing IaaS cloud systems do. 48 Computer Engineering and Intelligent Systems www.iiste.org ISSN 2222-1719 (Paper) ISSN 2222-2863 (Online) Vol 3, No.4, 2012 Eucalyptus uses Greedy (First fit) and Round robin scheduling strategies. Greedy query all the computational resources from the first to the last node until finding a suitable node every time new request comes and deal with them one by one for multiple requests. Round robin records the last position of the scheduler visited. And the scheduler starts from the last visited position next time new request(s) come(s) meanwhile the resources are considered as a circular linked list. Open Nebular uses Haizea, an open source VM-based lease management architecture as the scheduler and provides the queuing system, advanced reservation, preemption, immediate lease strategies, etc. All these policies pay more attention to "when" but neglect "how", the utilization of resources. Nimbus can be configured to use familiar schedulers like PBS (Portable Batch System) or SGE (Sun Grid Engine) to schedule virtual machines (V. Kolosov, 2004) (Gentzsch, 2001) (Yanggratoke, 2009). PBS is a queuing system and SGE uses Job Scheduling Hierarchically (JOSH), both do not have a good utilization of resources. 5. Conceptual Model The figure 2 depicts how the optimization technique works. All the service requests a made through standard gateway, that uses the algorithm described in the following sections for optimum allocation. 4. Optimization Algorithm In a genetic algorithm, a population of strings (called chromosomes or the genotype of the genome), which encode candidate solutions (called individuals, creatures, or phenotypes) to an optimization problem, evolves toward better solutions. Traditionally, solutions are represented in binary as strings of 0s and 1s, but other encodings are also possible. The evolution usually starts from a population of randomly generated individuals and happens in generations. In each generation, the fitness of every individual in the population is evaluated, multiple individuals are stochastically selected from the current population (based on their fitness), and modified (recombined and possibly randomly mutated) to form a new population. The new population is then used in the next iteration of the algorithm. Commonly, the algorithm terminates when either a maximum number of generations has been produced, or a satisfactory fitness level has been reached for the population. If the algorithm has terminated due to a maximum number of generations, a satisfactory solution may or may not have been reached (Banzhaf, Nordin, Keller, & Francone, 1998). 6.1 Chromosome Representation A chromosome (also sometimes called a genome) is a set of parameters which define a proposed solution to the problem that the genetic algorithm is trying to solve. The chromosome is often represented as a simple string; although a wide variety of other data structures are also used (Yang, Wu, Lee, & Liang, 2008). The chromosomes encode a scheduler. They consist of several <task, service> pairs. Each pair means a mapping that task is mapped onto a service .It also indicate that the position of each particle satisfies the precedence constraint between activities. 6.2 Constraints As we mentioned above, we considering one computing node just launch one instance at a scheduling time. And one job will be allocated for one time. But it is not means one physical machine can only run on one VM. We will gather all the idle resources of each computing node, and each of them will be appearing at the scheduling time except that the node do not have any free resource to hand out. For example, a 4-core computing node that half of its CPUs is in occupying. We will take the rest part of its CPUs in considering at scheduling time. 6.3 Fitness Funciton Each design solution is represented as a string of numbers (referred to as a chromosome). After each round 49 Computer Engineering and Intelligent Systems www.iiste.org ISSN 2222-1719 (Paper) ISSN 2222-2863 (Online) Vol 3, No.4, 2012 of testing, or simulation, the idea is to delete the 'n' worst design solutions, and to breed 'n' new ones from the best design solutions. Each design solution, therefore, needs to be awarded a figure of merit, to indicate how close it came to meeting the overall specification, and this is generated by applying the fitness function to the test, or simulation, results obtained from that solution. (Jin & Branke, 2005) We define the fitness function using the total QoS score. However for each resource that is violating its user-set constraint, we impose a penalty∝. This gives our combine fitness function as below. ∑ ∑ ∝ ∑ ∑ (3) Where symbols have their usual meaning as defined in section 3. 6.4 Selection Algorithm Selection is the stage of a genetic algorithm in which individual genomes are chosen from a population for later breeding (recombination or crossover). (Rennard, 2006) The selection procedure we use is called the Roulette wheel selection. It is also known as fitness proportionate selection. The individual is selected on the basis of fitness. The probability of an individual to be selected increases as its fitness increases relative to its competitors. A generic selection procedure may be implemented as follows: 1. The fitness function is evaluated for each individual, providing fitness values, which are then normalized. Normalization means dividing the fitness value of each individual by the sum of all fitness values, so that the sum of all resulting fitness values equals 1. 2. The population is sorted by descending fitness values. 3. Accumulated normalized fitness values are computed (the accumulated fitness value of an individual is the sum of its own fitness value plus the fitness values of all the previous individuals). The accumulated fitness of the last individual should be 1 (otherwise something went wrong in the normalization step). 4. A random number R between 0 and 1 is chosen. 5. The selected individual is the first one whose accumulated normalized value is greater than R. If this procedure is repeated until there are enough selected individuals. 6.5 Cross-over Algorithm In genetic algorithms, crossover is a genetic operator used to vary the programming of a chromosome or chromosomes from one generation to the next. It is analogous to reproduction and biological crossover, upon which genetic algorithms are based. Cross over is a process of taking more than one parent solutions and producing a child solution from them. There are methods for selection of the chromosome (Gwiazda, 2006). For the purpose of our problem we'll use the following cross over algorithm (Syswerda, 1989). 1. Let A be the first chromosome and B be the second chromosome. 2. Create two blank chromosomes C and D. 50 Computer Engineering and Intelligent Systems www.iiste.org ISSN 2222-1719 (Paper) ISSN 2222-2863 (Online) Vol 3, No.4, 2012 3. For every Task a. Select randomly from the <task, service> pair in A or B. b. Insert the selected pair in C. c. Insert the non-selected pair in D 4. C & D are the new chromosomes. 6.6 Mutation In genetic algorithms of computing, mutation is a genetic operator used to maintain genetic diversity from one generation of a population of algorithm chromosomes to the next. It is analogous to biological mutation (Obitko, 2007). Mutation alters one or more gene values in a chromosome from its initial state. In mutation, the solution may change entirely from the previous solution. Hence GA can come to better solution by using mutation. Mutation occurs during evolution according to a user-definable mutation probability. This probability should be set low. If it is set to high, the search will turn into a primitive random search. For mutation operator, we replace a random slice of chromosomes. The new random slice is generated by allocating services to task randomly from the pool of available candidate services. 1. Let Probability of mutation be p between 0 and 1. 2. Generate a random number n, uniformly distributed in 0 and 1 3. If( n < p) a. Let l be the no. of tasks. b. Generate a random number r1 with 1<=r1<l c. Generate a random number of r2 with r1<r2<=l d. For every task between r1 and r2 6.7 Mutation The termination condition describes when to stop the algorithm. It is important as over-optimization is also an issue. The termination condition is define as 1. The target QoS as per the Service Level Agreements is met. 2. The constraint user set on the specified resources is satisfied. 6.8 Genetic Algorithm Once we have the genetic representation and the fitness function defined, GA proceeds to initialize a population of solutions randomly, and then improve it through repetitive application of mutation, crossover, and inversion and selection operators (Goldberg D. E., 1989). 1. Choose the initial population of individuals. This pool can be randomly generated or selected on the basis of some heuristics. 2. Evaluate the fitness of each individual in that population. 3. Repeat on this generation until termination (time limit, sufficient fitness achieved, etc.): a. Apply the selection procedure to get a n pairs of individual, where n = m/2 and m is the total size of population. b. Create an initially blank new population pnext. 51 Computer Engineering and Intelligent Systems www.iiste.org ISSN 2222-1719 (Paper) ISSN 2222-2863 (Online) Vol 3, No.4, 2012 c. For each pair i. Breed new individuals through crossover and mutation operations to give birth to offspring ii. Add new individuals to pnext. d. Evaluate the new population and assign fitness value to each individual as per the described fitness function e. Replace least-fit population with new individual 7. Conclusion In this paper, based on our research on various IT optimization techniques, we proposed an optimized scheduling algorithm for cloud services. We used Genetic Algorithm to design our optimization model. We first went on to describe the problem in a mathematical way, as it's a first step to automatic optimization. The problem was reduced to the problem of maximizing a function, which enable us to use familiar mathematics to solve it. Then we described various genetic operators such as selection, cross-over, mutation etc. which are used to drive the Genetic algorithm forward. The algorithm could be coded inside the load balancer or the scheduler module of a cloud environment. As such it continuously optimize the allocation of resources and make sure the Quality of Service offered is maximized. References A. K. Amoura, E. B. (2002).

Hi Jim, A follup up to your Bard family. I am not a Bard family member but my Cessna family came from Muhlenberg County and the Rev, Isaac Bard was very prominent in the early years of the county as was the Rev.Adlai Boyd, who was married to a Cessna. Anyway, because of my knowledge of the Bard name, I came across a book years ago, The Bard Family, published in 1908. Its a family history book on the Bards.....from Scotland and Ireland into America. I paid $20.00 for it and kept it over the years. I got it in Carmel, Calif in the 1980's and some of the pages weren't even cut apart so I had to do this myself. This made me think that this book must be very rare. It was written by a G.O.Seilhamer, Esq in Chambersburg,Pa which is an area in Pennsylvania where many Bards lived before migrating into Kentucky. In this book, pg 267, lists the children of William Bard, founder of Bardstown,Ky and his wife, Mary Kincaid: James,David,Ebenezar,William and Isaac. Isaac married Matilda M.Moore and they lived in Greenville,Ky (Muhlenberg Co) and had Henry Clay, Luther, Lafayette, Verona who married Carroll Larkins, and Martha who married a mr. Hollowell. Could your Geneva be Verona?? No Geneva is listed in the index. Let me know if i can be of any further assistance........would love to help you more. This book contains some very interesting history on your family. Sincerely, Cheryl Cessna firstname.lastname@example.com Notify Administrator about this message?

Clean, looks like they are renovating in room. Some new items including microwave.
Different floor heights stubs toes badly!! Sheets and blankets had burn holes in them. TV hookups didn't work. Sink water so hard it splashed all over you when you turned it on. Hot water took forever to get to bathtub.
The staff was accomindating.
The room was to small for a queen size bed
We were not expecting the room to actually look the way it did in the pictures online, but when we walked through the door we were pleasantly surprised! Motel 6 has upped it's game! The king size bed was SUPER comfortable and the furnishings were quite modern. It even had a mini fridge and a microwave which was a plus.
Front desk lady great. It's what you would expect from a motel 6. It served it's purpose
$90 night for Motel 6 but they have a captive audience in Carlsbad
booked online for a king-bed room for $85. Front desk clerk switched to a two-double bed room and told us the rate were the same. Recieved the visa statement and been charged $89. It was not a big deal money wise, but would appreciate a little honesty.
The cleanliness of the room and the wifi worked really good
Outweighed by incident described in what I didn't like. Unsmiley face.
Around 0930 I was undressed (naked) in the room when a housekeeper opened the door. No knock. No "housekeeping" spoken. No plastic sign provided to say "Do not Disturb." Front desk unapologetic upon my report. General Manager "on vacation". Received canned reply via email when I completed a Motel 6 online survey. Very disappointed to say the least!
Simple furnished rooms, as expected. Clean and comfortable. Ideal for a night's rest during a road trip.
No breakfast whatsoever. Not even a coffee maker in the room. They had some coffee in the lobby,but nothing else - not even fruit or doughnuts. Most Motel 6 we've stayed at have always provided breakfast.
TV and fridge
At first we received 1 room for 5 persons..later the 2 rooms we had booked. Security might be a issue with rooms directly open to the street.
The rooms are all being renovated so the beds were new and made for comfortable sleeping.
I didn't like knowing how much I paid for the room to learn there was No coffee pot in the room and no shampoo in the bathroom. Carpet has been replaced with laminate flooring, making it cold to walk on in the middle of the night. Location is just "ok" if you are used to 4:00 AM traffic from the oil field industry.
Liked upgraded flooring and newish mid century modern styling
No coffee maker, sub par towels, very slick shower floor, cig burn on bedspread, tiny soap, banged up entry door
Free WiFi that worked well, staff was friendly and helpful, small refrigerator/freezer and microwave oven in the room.
A little over-priced.
long hair on pillow and poor bed making,stained towel,dirty floor with lots of dirt,very old air conditioner without cap but lots of brown dust. paid $82.00 but worth nothing.
room was clean, plenty of towels, great to have refrigerator in the room & the large flat screen TV was nice to watch I always stay there when in town to visit friends & family & usually bring my dog
almost slipped & fell in tub, need something in the floor of the tub or hand grips getting out Had a shower in tub but shower head did not put out much force of water
Clean enough, nice woman at checkin.
Overpriced, sketchy internet service, junk stacked on property, no creamer for coffee.
Price. - Wish I'd paid double elsewhere.
Beds uncomfortable. Many workmen, noisy beer drinking, loud in morning. Not up to usual Motel 6 standard
This is one of the best hotels to visit Carlsbad National Caverns and there are some nice restaurants.
Located near the Carlsbad Caverns
Everything in this motel is falling apart and is held together with rubber bands and band-aid. There were numerous manintenance problems which were brought to the attention of the person on duty, but she appeared either unwilling or helpless to do much about getting them corrected. This motel does not get my vote for value for my money.
Refused to give military discount, refused to give senior discount, no concederation for disabilities, piles of dirt behind door, mop marks on vertical side of bath tub, frig. In great need of defrosting, room much to small for the two beds.
there was only a few things that I liked at this motel. it has a good location and wifi
small rooms with nowhere to unpack for a longer stay than a night. front desk personnel that do not speak/understand English very well, dirty rooms (walls, carpets) upstairs rooms not close to stairways
Price and ease of finding.
Room was ok but noise level from other guests who seem to be long term guests was a little more than expected.
Everything. I cancelled my second night stay.
Myself and 2 sons stayed one night. Went to Carlsbad Caverns the next morning. Location was the only good thing about this place - right on highway to caverns.
Room was TINY. Beds were hard as rocks. Shower head was very loose in wall. Hot and Cold water on shower and sink was backwards. TV remote worked sometimes. Very loud environment - full of oilfield workers. Windows offered no sound insulation at all. Didn't feel safe in parking area. Price inflated due to oilfield activity in area. Do not recommend.
commode loose from floorand no hot water in lav
