An Aspect Based Pattern for Context-Awareness of Services
Date Added: Jan 2012
Format: PDF
Today, service in oriented applications need to be enhanced to sense and react to user's context in order to provide a better user experience. To meet this requirement, Context-Aware Services (CAS) have emerged as an underling design and development paradigm for the development of context-aware applications. The fundamental challenges for such applications development are context management and service adaptation to the user's context. To cope with such requirements, the authors provide in this paper a context, context provider and CAS specifications and metamodels, and a tool to enhance a core service, in service oriented applications, to be context-aware.

Josh Beckett masterful in forging the right lasting impression for Red Sox - 0 Comments
The Red Sox are headed for Tampa International Airport now, for the first time leaving a homestand with a tailwind rather than a headwind stemming from awful losses.
This afternoon and early evening, before the rains arrived at Fenway, Josh Beckett led them to a 5-0 victory that capped off a still active five-game winning streak.
"Yeah, I'm surprised you guys are still here,'' said Dustin Pedroia, half-jokingly. "We're going to bring some positive around here now. It's been good, we played good today, we just have got to keep it rolling.''

Yahoo's free fantasy sports app not worth the money — I was borderline shocked to learn that Yahoo released a fantasy football tracking app, Yahoo! Fantasy Football '09. For those of you out of the loop, MyFantasyTeams Pro (and others, such as Fantasy Football Live) have been available for some time and do basically the same thing. The key word...

For the best in fantasy baseball, football, basketball, tourney pick'em and hockey, Yahoo Fantasy has you covered.

Oh wonderful Fantasy Football.... — This app helped me great through the 2009 season! Had lineup management, viewing of matchups in leagues, and also the ability to pick up and drop players. I won 1 of my leagues this year and I was able to see it all unfold on my iPhone for the first year. Hope next year Yahoo comes back strong...

To little surprise, Johnny Football isn't thought of too highly within the NFL community. The Bleacher Report's Mike Freeman tweeted that he's spoken with multiple NFL scouts who "continue to tee off" on the ballyhooed Texas A&M quarterback. And this goes beyond AutographGate. https://twitter.com/mikefreemanNFL/status/374550182391590912 https://twitter.com/mikefreemanNFL/status/374564467679322112 Manziel is coming under fire after his taunting gesture against Rice on Saturday had media members chomping at the bit. He was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct, but the incident only added fuel to Manziel's ever-increasing fire of criticism. It just wasn't a smart decision given his well-documented off-the-field shenanigans. With the college football season underway, Manziel can expect to be squarely under the microscope for the duration. Get your popcorn ready.

SEATTLE — Rumblings persisted Thursday that Chris Hansen continues to work behind the scenes to keep hope alive of buying the Sacramento Kings.
In Sacramento, meanwhile, one of the main members of the investment group hoping to buy the team and keep it in that city said the group will be able to meet a deadline today to put 50 percent of the purchase offer into escrow.
KCRA3 in Sacramento quoted Chris Kelly, a former Facebook executive who helped bolster the investment group last month, as saying meeting the Friday deadline "is our goal and that is our expectation. We've been working on a variety of milestones and meeting a number of milestones, and putting money in escrow is one of them, and we'll meet that deadline easily."
Sacramento's investment group has offered a reported $341 million for a 65 percent share of the team.
Sacramento's effort to keep the Kings appeared to take a pivotal turn Monday when the NBA's Relocation Committee voted 7-0 against allowing the team to move to Seattle.
But while some viewed the vote as ending the Seattle/Sacramento battle over the Kings, Hansen issued a statement late Monday night saying he would continue to explore options to continue the fight.
If Sacramento is unable to meet the deadline for the escrow today, that would further boost Hansen's chances of making a comeback.
Still, two league sources said that regardless of whether Sacramento meets the escrow deadline that Hansen remains working feverishly behind closed doors in an attempt to see "the transaction through," as he wrote Monday.
The Hansen-led group has offered $358 million for a 65 percent share of the Kings, a total valuation of $550 million.
It remained unclear exactly what Hansen's preferred course of action is.
However, one league source reiterated that one option is for Hansen to still attempt to buy the Kings, even if they can't be relocated.

AMERICA/ARGENTINA - First anniversary for "El hogar Emaus" that welcomes the homeless
San Carlos de Bariloche (Agenzia Fides) - "El hogar Emaus", which welcomes men who live on the streets at night, celebrated its first anniversary in its present location. The project of the Reception House is already 5 years old, but during the first four the people assisted have slept in borrowed facilities.
The note sent to Fides Agency reports that the public ceremony was attended by the Mayor Maria Eugenia Martini and the priest José María Lynch, now in charge of Hogar, who read a letter sent by the new Bishop of Bariloche, His Exc. Mgr. Juan José Chaparro Stivanello, C.M.F. In the letter the Bishop congratulated the promoters of the project, "for the work and the spirit in which this service is carried out". His predecessor, Mgr. Fernando Maletti, was a great promoter of the construction of the current premises, which are the fruit of the collaboration of the community, the private sector and the State.
The homeless, that increase with the arrival of winter, arrive in the evening finding a hot meal and shelter where they can sleep.
In San Carlos de Bariloche, in the Argentine Patagonia, the cold of the night during the winter has killed many people. In the last few days about 40 people attended this reception house, coordinated by the Bishop, who for several months has benefited from the contribution of seven municipal employees and other volunteers. This initiative of the diocese continues thanks to the generosity and commitment of Catholics, aware of the call of the Church to take care of our neediest brothers. "Stay with us, Lord, for it is almost evening" (Luke 24:29). (CE) (Agenzia Fides 30/07/2013)

Meditate & Connect With Angels & Deceased Loved Ones
Meditate & Connect With Angels & Deceased Loved Ones
Meditation is a very important element in connecting with your angels and deceased loved ones. (Remember, celestial beings are energy, and energy is not always perceived with your six senses.) It is important to understand, however, to meditate every day with the intention of connecting with the heavenly realm later on in the day. In other words, do not expect to receive messages when you are quieting yourself. If you attempting to do anything besides quieting yourself, then you are not meditating. It's like putting gas in your car; you put the gas in the car so that the car can run later in the day and in the future.
Here are some of my favorite ways to meditate:

NY's Gov. Cuomo blasts utilities for Sandy outages
NEW YORK, Nov 8 (Reuters) – Damage from Superstorm Sandy to
the electricity system in the U.S. Northeast exposed deep flaws
in the structure and regulation of power utilities that will
require a complete redesign, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said
on Thursday.
"We're going to have to look at a ground up redesign," Cuomo
said while criticizing utilities he called virtual monopolies
run by nameless and faceless bureaucrats.
U.S. Northeast digs out from snow following hurricane
NEW YORK, Nov 8 (Reuters) – New York City and much of the
U.S. Northeast on Thursday dug out from a snowstorm that
hammered a region still struggling to recover from the
devastation of Superstorm Sandy.
The unseasonably early winter storm dumped more than a foot
(30 cm) of snow on parts of Connecticut and slapped the region
with 50 mph (80 kph) winds, plunging hundreds of thousands of
homes and businesses back into darkness and creating a new
commuting nightmare for a region whose transportation system was
already under repair.
Wintry storm brings new woe to hard-hit Northeast
NEW YORK (Reuters) – A wintry storm dropped snow and rain on the Northeast on Wednesday, bringing dangerous winds and knocking out power in a region where hundreds of thousands were still in the dark after Superstorm Sandy.
The nor'easter storm brought fresh misery to thousands in New Jersey, New York and Connecticut whose homes were destroyed by Sandy when it smashed ashore on October 29, bringing historic flooding and high winds. The storm killed 120 people in the United States and Canada.
Wintry storm smacks an already battered U.S. Northeast
NEW YORK (Reuters) – A wintry storm dropped snow on the U.S. Northeast on Wednesday and threatened to bring dangerous winds and flooding to a region still climbing out from the devastation of Superstorm Sandy.
The nor'easter storm added misery to thousands of people whose homes were destroyed by Sandy, which killed 120 people when it smashed ashore on October 29 in the New York-New Jersey area, swallowing entire neighborhoods with rising seawater and blowing homes from their foundations.
New York, New Jersey order evacuations ahead of new storm
NEW YORK, Nov 7 (Reuters) – New York and New Jersey ordered
the evacuation of nursing homes and low-lying coastal areas
already devastated by deadly Superstorm Sandy as a smaller but
still powerful Nor'easter approached from the Atlantic Ocean.
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg closed parks and
beaches and temporarily halted outdoor construction ahead of the
storm, which was pelting the Washington area with ice pellets on
Wednesday and whipping up seas as high as 7.5 feet (2.3 meters)
about 20 miles (30 km) off New York's JFK airport, AccuWeather

Crew rescued from HMS Bounty as hurricane rages; captain missing
By Daniel Trotta and David Adams
(Reuters) – The U.S. Coast Guard rescued 14 of the 16 crew members who abandoned the replica tall ship HMS Bounty off North Carolina in rough seas caused by Hurricane Sandy, using helicopters on Monday to pluck them from life rafts.
A Coast Guard MH-60 Jayhawk rescue helicopter later recovered crew member Claudene Christian, 42, who was described as unresponsive, while continuing to search for the 63-year-old captain of the ship, which sank in 18-foot seas.

A nice farewell to Kes. I thought the ending, with Kes leaving the ship and transforming, felt a bit rushed, but it was still effective. I liked the way she cut ten years from Voyager's journey by getting them out of Borg space.
I didn't care a whole lot for any of the 7 of 9 scenes. She was very whiny, and just repeated her "We are Borg" line over and over.
All in all, a decent offering.
I disagree about Seven.
Her reaction made more sense than how Huge acted.
She acted like someone who's been brainwashed reacts when taken out of that environment. Like an addict going through a withdrawal. She acted like someone with post traumatic stress disorder. Her re-action was the natural one, unlike Huge who just stood there with a stupid look on his face waiting to be fed like a pet. Hugh never even thought enough to try and gain his freedom. How could the Borg conquer anything with Drones so docile?

The maximum charge for text messaging within the European Union has been set at 11 euro cents, EU telecoms Commissioner Viviane Reding confirmed in an interview with German magazine Der Spiegel. Reding also told the publication that telephone calls would have to be billed by the second and that competition for accessing the internet abroad will be increased, Reuters reports. The EU parliament and 27 member states have agreed to the plan and the new rules are to be in place by next summer. The text roaming fee falls on the low-end of the range Reding was targeting and is far below the 29 euro cents that customers are currently paying on average.

Oxygen transport across the cathode gas diffusion layer (GDL) in polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cells was examined by varying the O2/N2 ratio and by varying the area of the GDL extending laterally from the gas flow channel under the bipolar plate (under the land). As the cathode is depleted of oxygen, the current density becomes limited by oxygen transport across the GDL. Oxygen depletion from O2/N2 mixtures limits catalyst utilization, especially under the land.The local current density with air fed PEM fuel cells falls to practically zero at lateral distances under the land more than 3 times the GDL thickness; on the other hand, catalyst utilization was not limited when the fuel cell cathode was fed with 100% oxygen. The ratio of GDL thickness to the extent of the land is thus critical to the effective utilization of the catalyst in an air fed PEM fuel cell. © 2010 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 2011

What are you wearing? A black and white Jessica McClintock gown and Chinese Laundry black sandals with rhinestone buckle. How would you describe your style? Classic, but I definitely pay attention to the trends and mix in some vintage pieces. Where do you go to school? I'm a junior at Vanderbilt, headed to get a master's in art history and museum studies. Has your interest in art influenced your style? I solidified my style before I ever started studying art. My mother helped me define what looks good on me pretty early. What's your idea of a great outfit? A skirt or dress with fabulous shoes. I love stilettos; my small frame needs a high heel. I look for simple classic shapes, which is why I love vintage. And I love fabulous jewelry. What wouldn't you be caught dead in? Baggy pants and a baggy tee. One baggy thing is OK, but you have to have something fitted or you just look awful. What's the biggest fashion faux pas you see people make? If it's too tight, don't wear it. Any favorite health and beauty products? I swear by Jurlique, a natural skincare line. I use the recovery gel, the moisturizer with SPF, the beauty cream, and I love the tea tree oil face wash. As for make-up, I wear Clinique products, but for a little funk I love MAC. Any advice for stylish college kids? Look at your body type to figure out what looks good on you, and then get those styles in lots of colors. Think about building a wardrobe now; you probably won't be adding much for a while once you're on your own working.-

DENVER | Many universities have come under pressure to reject their American Indian mascots, but in what may be a first, the University of Denver has ditched a non-Indian mascot on the grounds he wasn't sufficiently diverse.
A university committee gave the final axing in October to "Denver Boone," better known as Boone, a portly, chubby-cheeked cartoon character in a coonskin cap who represented the University of Denver Pioneers from 1968 to 1998.
"The old Boone figure is one that does not reflect the broad diversity of the DU community and is not an image that many of today's women, persons of color, international students and faculty and others can easily relate to as defining the pioneering spirit," Chancellor Robert Coombe said.
Boone, drawn by Walt Disney in 1968, was shelved in 1998 for his "lack of gender inclusiveness and the changing image of the university," according to the student newspaper, the Clarion.
Students and alumni have lobbied to bring back Boone ever since. A university survey taken earlier this year in response to a resurgent "bring back Boone" movement showed that 87 percent of student and alumni respondents held a favorable opinion of the pudgy pioneer and wanted to see his return.
The university put the mascot question last year before its History and Traditions Task Force, which decided to shelve Boone permanently after critics argued that he represented an era of Western imperialism and was offensive to women and minority groups.
"The name 'Boone' is linked to Daniel Boone, and to people of Native American ancestry, it's sensitive because he was part of a movement that pushed Native Americans to the side," said Monica Kumar, president of the undergraduate student body.
"We are a university that has been very sensitive to diversity and one of our objectives is to be inclusive," said Miss Kumar, who sits on the committee. "And this was an opportunity for us to come together and show our inclusiveness."
Mike Rosen, a DU alumnus and Denver radio talk-show host and commentator, called the decision "annoying but not surprising."
"It's an example of the hyper-sensitive, politically correct epidemic in higher education as well as secondary education," said Mr. Rosen, who was not involved in the movement to resurrect Boone. "Are they going to do away with the name 'pioneer?' I would think that would be at least as offensive as the mascot."
Boone's foes agreed that the name "pioneer" was a problem, but they hope to redefine the term by moving the focus away from the early settlers who crossed the American West in the 1800s.
"We see 'pioneer' as moving forward in the world and making a positive mark on history as opposed to the traditional definition of 'pioneer,'" Miss Kumar said.
As for the charge of political correctness, she said, "It's not a matter of being politically incorrect when it's truly something that offends people."
At first, the university replaced Boone with a red-tailed hawk named Ruckus, but he failed to catch on with alumni and students. More recently, the university has used the name "Denver" shaped in an arch to symbolize the school in publications and at sporting events.
The university's decision hasn't yet caught on with other schools. In a similar case, the University of Massachusetts, after a public row over the diversity and gun-control implications of naming its teams the Minutemen, decided in 2003 to keep its mascot.

Full story.
In an interview with Game Informer, SEGA's Executive VP of Sales & Marketing, Alan Pritchard, confirmed that a collection of Sega Dreamcast games is to be released for modern consoles.
"The Dreamcast fans are very devoted. You see on eBay people are still buying the games and system," he said. "We actually have a Dreamcast collection coming out soon. We are looking to bring some of the old Dreamcast games to market digitally and packaged."
No games have been announced yet for the collection, and speculations are running wild. Sonic Adventure 2? Shenmue? Jet Set Radio? Time will tell! GameStop had the collection (before it was formally announced) listed at a 29.99$ price tag and February 15th 2011 release before they took it away from listing for reasons unknown.
What would you pay for a collection of Dreamcast games, and what games do you hope to see included?

Prepared for two the fish is baked whole and fileted table-side by a very accomplished server. I did not have a single bone in my portion. Located on the plaza in Campo Santa Margherita the location is pleasant and comfortable walking distance from our hotel, The Plazzo Stern. A nice meal if you are in the area.
