This invention relates generally to a network for introducing individuals or other entities to each other, and more particularly to a social introduction network that relies on a third person to make introductions between strangers.
A variety of systems are known for introducing individuals to each other. Introductions effected by agencies suffer from several drawbacks. Strangers have no way of assessing an introductory situation prior to actually meeting, and it is quite common for either or both individuals to be unreceptive to the process because they have limited input in arranging their introduction. Users of such services often also have no control over who will be the recipient of their names, addresses, or telephone numbers with the additional inherent danger that such information can be easily circulated to others.
Bars and clubs can overcome some of the problems by initially allowing strangers to remain anonymous. Although immediate contacts are available, strangers have no prior information about each other and there is the problem of "ice-breaking," that is finding a suitable basis and the privacy to introduce oneself to a total stranger. The only evidence that a "match" is possible is the presence of both persons at the same place and time.
Several technological solutions have been introduced to navigate around these problems. Philips Corporate Design in a web magazine, "Vision of the Future," describes wearable devices (called "Hot Badges") that store private interests. The devices continuously broadcast and receive these private interests using short-range radio frequency (RF) signals. When two badges come within close proximity of each other, the stored interests are exchanged via RF and compared in order to ascertain the amount of shared interests between the two individuals. When the two badges detect common interests, they signal the users to this fact, with the end goal being the facilitation of a social introduction between individuals with similar interests.
Borovoy et al., in "Things that blink: Computationally augmented name tags," IBM Systems Journal, vol. 35, no. 3-4, pp. 488-495 1996, describe digitally-enhanced name tags that store answers to multiple choice questions on a particular topic. The amount of similarity or dissimilarity in the answers is displayed when two users wearing the tags face each other. Like the Hot Badges mentioned above, the enhanced name tags seek to provide individuals with a very rough indication of how much two individuals have in common.
Borovoy et al. in "Meme Tags and Community Mirrors: Moving from Conference to Collaboration," CSCW 98, 159-168, 1998 describe wearable tags (similar to the aforementioned name tags) that store and exchange "memes," or short sayings. When two meme tags face each other, a saying stored on each tag is displayed and the users can acquire the meme on the other tag. While previously mentioned systems have focused on comparing categorized interests between two people, Meme Tags allow users to collect and swap arbitrary phrases to both portray themselves and learn about others.
Weilenmann et al., in "Hummingbirds Go Skiing: Using Wearable Computers to Support Social Interaction," Digest of Papers, 3rd International Symposium on Wearable Computers, 191-192, October 1999, describe a portable, wireless RF-based device that provides awareness of other like devices nearby through sound and a visual display. When another device is detected, the device emits a noise, and the name of the other user of the other device is displayed.
The Lovegety™ is a device that stores simple user interests, and then notifies the user when a device with similar interests is nearby. The device comes in "male" and "female" version so only devices of opposite "gender" recognize each other. The device uses RF technology to continuously broadcast and receive data. Gaydar™ is a similar device intended for gay users.
Friend.Link™ is a portable messaging device that transmits messages via RF signals. Like some of the above described devices, this device stores, exchanges, and compares user-entered interests. However, this device can also send messages to specific devices, a feature not found in the devices described above.

The device described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,950,200 distinguishes itself amongst this group by attempting to protect the confidentiality of the users by only signaling two people after they have both indicated interest in each other.

Sixdegrees Inc provides an Internet based system that allow strangers sharing a common interest to meet through their social network.
Most of the above described devices operate on the basis of common interests. Furthermore, the devices do not usually provide the opportunity for an individual to make the decision of whether or not an introduction between the two strangers is worthwhile. The devices simply make a comparison of interests, and if there is a match of interests, the users are signaled. The problems with such devices are that the lists of interests are likely to be a crude and an imprecise characterization of the person, the backgrounds, habits, and lifestyles of the two users are not considered, and there is no opportunity for a human to intervene and decide whether an introduction is appropriate.
Therefore, there is a need for a social communications network system that allows for the introduction of individuals or other entities on the basis of a shared network location, without having to know what that location of the location is.
The invention provides a computerized method for identifying entities accessing locations in a communications network. A unique identification is associated with a private identification for each entity accessing the network. A known list is maintained for each entity. Each entry in the known list for a particular entity includes the unique identification and private identification of other entities known to the particular entity.
A location list is maintained. Each entry in the location list includes a plurality of unique identifications of other entities having shared a common location in the network. A message is generated only if at least two unique identifications of a particular entry of the location list are identical to at least two unique identifications found in the known list of the particular entity. The message includes the associated private identifications of the at least two identical unique identifications.
In one aspect, the communications network is local and mobile, and network locations are physical, and in another aspect, the communications network is wide area, and the network locations are virtual.

For an individual, building one's social network is a time and energy consuming process. Involvement in social organizations, such as churches or clubs, provides opportunities to expand a social network, but commitments to school or work reduce the amount of time and energy one can dedicate to these social activities. Meeting friends of friends provides another way to expand one's social network, but this method typically requires a common venue so that introductions may be made.
One may also attempt to increase one's social network by going to places commonly known to be "hang-outs" for people wishing to meet new people, e.g., bars and dance clubs. However, in these more anonymous situations, one must be proactive, and little is known about any particular individual ahead of time, creating a high social cost and associated risk for an unknown outcome.
In considering the various ways one can increase one's social network, an introduction of two strangers by a common friend carries great advantages. Though this type of introduction is a relatively easy and efficient social process, it nonetheless features a rich set of cues and information that the two strangers can make use of during and after their initial introduction.
For example, existing knowledge of the common friend, including the type and nature of the relationship with the common friend, can provide some cues about individuals being introduced. Similarly, the common friend can act as a catalyst for the establishment of the new relationship, and the common friend can provide the two individuals with information to provide a "common basis," e.g., by informing them of interests that they share.
Though introductions through a common friend provide a number of benefits, they nonetheless require the common friend to first recognize the potential for the two strangers to meet, and then to act on this observation. Large social events can provide a backdrop for these types of introductions, but such events are typically infrequent.
Outside of such events, the sheer size of a single person's social network, and regular, daily commitments, both work against a person even recognizing the potential that two existing friends may benefit from an introduction to one another.
Our invention provides means to expand one's social network by recognizing when two strangers share both a similar network location and a mutual friend. To accomplish this, the invention recognizes that two strangers are in the same location.
Thus, in practice, our invention comprises the following basic elements: means for maintaining a list of friends for each individual (known list), means for maintaining a list of pairs of strangers who share a network location (location list), and means for determining if two strangers with a shared location have a mutual friend. If it is determined that two strangers with a mutual friend frequently share locations, then a message is generated for the mutual friend to suggest an introduction between the two strangers.
While it may seem that recognizing a shared location between two individuals should be enough to warrant suggesting an introduction between two strangers, in practice this is not enough. Each day people share a casual location with many strangers: in the park, when commuting, while riding an elevator, shopping, in short, wherever people congregate. Requiring a mutual friend to be shared between two strangers reduces the number of potential introductions and also provides a "human element" to facilitate the process of the introduction between the two strangers.
Our invention can be implemented in the physical world and/or in virtual worlds. Here, we describe elements common to both implementations.
As shown in FIG. 1, our invention assigns users of our invention (entities) an arbitrary, but unique identification 101, hereafter referred to as the user's unique ID. In our invention, the user or entity also associates a private identification 102 with the unique ID. The private ID can be a name, telephone number, email address, audio recording of their name, or any other form of identification that will allow others to know the identity of the user or entity from the private ID alone. Our invention, thus, creates a mapping associating the unique ID 101 with the private ID 102. The mapping is stored in a memory controlled and accessible by the user.
After the user is assigned the unique ID and associates the private ID with the unique ID, the user can exchange this stored mapping of IDs with friends, as shown in FIG. 2. The exchange occurs over a secure communication channel 203, so that only trusted users can receive these mappings. The newly exchanged data are recorded in a memory. By exchanging these data, users essentially generate known lists 10 comprised of the unique and private IDs of known users.
In addition to the ability to securely exchange unique and private IDs with friends who are users of the invention, our invention also makes the unique ID 101 of the user available to unknown users (strangers), see FIG. 1. For example, the unique ID can be broadcast and received on a short-range public broadcast communication channel 109. The unique ID can then be associated with a specific location. This pairing of unique ID and location is recorded as an entry 131 in a location list 130 (FIG. 11) by our invention system.
However, it should be recognized that the invention does not need to know what activities or interests brings the two strangers to the same location, or even where the location is in the network. Instead, and as an advantage, the present invention only needs to know that at some location in the network, it does not matter where, the two strangers interacted in some undetermined manner, or shared some undetermined activity or interest. In other words, the strangers have a common context at some location without knowing either what the context or location is.
In one embodiment, our invention equips many users with portable devices that continually broadcast their unique IDs 101. In other words, the network is mobile, and the locations in the network are wherever the users operate their devices.
Other user devices, in close proximity, can receive and record the broadcasted unique IDs. This information marks an instance when at least two devices (and users) share the same close physical location. From this information one can infer a shared location between the users carrying the portable devices without knowing where the location is.
In another embodiment, the unique IDs and locations are recorded when users "visit" a virtual location, for example, web sites, newsgroups, or chat rooms on the Internet.
Using the pairs of unique IDs and the locations in which these unique IDs were paired, along with the known lists 10 of each user, a computer-implemented process can determine whether two or more users, who are strangers to each other, shared a virtual location. Using the same data, it can also be determined whether or not these two users share a common friend 1 as shown in FIG. 11.
When it is determined that two or more users share a common location and a mutual friend, another process can then determine whether an introduction of the strangers should be suggested via the mutual friend. The process receives the unique IDs of the two strangers who share a location, and compares their unique IDs with those on the known list 10. At this point, a message suggesting an introduction be made between the individuals can be generated.
Having described the core components of our invention, we describe two specific embodiments of our social networking invention. In a first embodiment of our invention, the shared network location is inferred through the common location of two or more users in a physical environment. Here, we use portable devices in an ad hoc mobile local communications network to maintain the lists, make the determinations to introduce two or more individuals, and generate the messages to provide social networking on a local basis. In a second embodiment, the shared location is explicitly generated in a virtual environment. Here, we use the Internet and computational processes to maintain the lists, make the determinations, and generate the messages to provide social networking on a world-wide basis.
The first embodiment of our invention provides a social network for introducing individuals sharing a common location in a physical environment, henceforth referred to as a network location. A mobile local area network includes a number of portable communication devices that operate in broadcast or point-to-point communications modes depending on the function performed. The devices also include memories to store data interchanged over the broadcast and point-to-point communications channels.
Devices in the physical implementation of our invention differ from prior systems in that, with our invention, strangers are matched according to a shared network location. By sharing a network location, we mean that the two strangers frequent the same locations at the same time. For our purposes, the exact activities and interests of the strangers are irrelevant—what matters is that the strangers engage in activities in close physical proximity to one another. We rely on the premise that two strangers who frequently share the same location at the same time are likely to share a similar living context, or are engaged in common social activities. Our invention does not need to know what this shared location or activity is, it simply needs to know that there is a common network location between two strangers.
Our invention further differentiates itself by requiring a trusted third person, a mutual friend, to initiate an introduction of the two strangers. This provides a human element to mediate the introduction of two strangers who nonetheless share the same network location and a mutual friend. Devices in the physical implementation of our invention are compact, wireless communication devices, like the keyless remote devices used to operate car doors. The device can be carried unobtrusively in one's pocket.
As shown in FIG. 1, each device stores a unique ID 101 only associated with that device. The user enters the private ID 102. Each device can also store the known list 10. The list is generated by an exchange of unique and private IDs via the secure point-to-point communications channel 203 as shown in FIG. 2. For example, friends "touch" their devices together to make an electronic connection and exchange their IDs 101-102. This point-to-point connection is a secure connection so that data interchanged via this connection cannot become known to others.
Each device also broadcasts its unique ID 101 using a short range radio frequency (RF) signal 109. Thus, the "location" extends over the range a distance that the transmitted signal can be received, and no farther. When a device receives an unknown unique ID over the broadcast channel 109, that is a unique ID that is not stored in its known list 10; the unknown ID is recorded on the location list 20. The date, time, and duration of the encounter with the stranger are also stored in the memory and comprise an encounter record 21 in the location list. The process of broadcasting and receiving IDs and recording the IDs occurs automatically in the background; the users of the devices, both the broadcasters and the receivers, are unaware of this activity when it occurs. Note in contrast with prior art device, we do not need to store what the location, activity, or interest is that brings the two strangers to the same location, we only record the fact that there was an encounter somewhere.
At a later time, when two friends are again in close physical proximity, their devices broadcast and receive each other's unique IDs and recognize each other as friends. When a friend's unique ID are received, the devices of the two friends exchange their location lists 20, including the encounter records with each other either via the point-to-point or broadcast channel. After the location lists have been exchanged, each device can examine the received location list and determine if anyone on the location list is known to this device, i.e., an ID on the other device's location list is on this device's known list.
If the device does find unique IDs of the other device's location list on its known list, the device generates and displays a message suggesting an introduction between the two individuals. The user of the device, that is, the mutual friend, can then determine whether an introduction of the two strangers would be beneficial. Thus, a common, trusted third person determines whether to introduce the two strangers, and if so, the manner in which the introduction will be conducted.
The following sections describe the main processes that are carried out by the portable communication devices in our mobile local area network.
FIG. 1 shows an initial process 100 used by our communication devices. Each device is equipped with the unique ID 101. The unique ID is factory installed and inaccessible to the user. In step 10, the user enters a user name or some other human understandable private ID 102, such as a telephone number, e-mail address, and the like. The private ID 102 is stored with the unique ID 101. During operation of the device in step 120, the device broadcasts 109 its unique ID 101, and listens for other unique IDs.
FIG. 2 shows a process 200 executed when two friends wish to add each other to their known lists 10. The devices 201 and 202 are electronically connected by a point-to-point private link 203, and their unique and private IDs 101-102 are exchanged. The unique and private ID 101-102 pair is stored on the known list 10. The link can be achieved by physically touching the two devices to each other, or by a short range infrared (IR) transceiver such as found on remote controls. The intent is for the private IDs to be exchanged using private communications links, while the unique IDs are exchanged using a public communications links, so that the mapping between unique and private IDs is never made available to unknown third parties.
FIG. 3 shows a process 300 executed when a unique ID 101 is received in step 310 at some network location. Step 320 checks if the received unique ID is on its known list 10. If not, then step 330 adds the unknown ID to its location list 20 and also stores the date, time and duration of the encounter with the unknown ID as an encounter record. If the received ID is already stored in location list 20, than just the date, time and duration of this subsequent encounter is added. If the ID is on the known list 10 then proceed with process 400 of FIG. 4. Note, the location itself does not need to be stored.
In step 410 of FIG. 4, the two friends exchange their location lists 20. In step 420, each device determines if any of the unknown unique IDs received from the other device is on its own known list 10. If any unknown IDs on the other's device's location list are on this device's known list, step 430 makes a decision of whether an introduction of the strangers should be suggested to the mutual friend. This determination can be based on the frequency of the encounters, their durations, times, and any other factors known to the system. Note again, the location itself does not need to be a factor in the thresholding decision.
If the threshold is reached, a message is generated suggesting an introduction between the two individuals who do not know each other. The message maps the unique IDs of the friends to the friends' private IDs to obtain a human-readable message. The mutual friend can then make a determination whether the two strangers, who frequently share a network location, should be introduced.
FIG. 5 overlays the above described step to illustrate a state transition diagram of the device.
FIG. 6 shows the steps of a process 600 to execute when menu buttons of the device are pressed 601. Full reset 610 will clear all data from the memory, e.g., friends and location lists, except for the memory storing the device's own ID, after confirmation. Set name 620 activates the process 100. Set time 630 simply sets the time and date clock of the device. List friends 640 allows the user to edit the known list 10, e.g., remove IDs and names of individuals no longer considered "friends." Delete all messages 650 removes any pending messages stored in the device, and show messages 660 displays pending messages.
FIG. 7 shows the general external structure of our communication device. The device includes the following control buttons, on/off 710, a menu 720, cancel 730, OK 740, up and down 750-751. The up and down buttons can also be implemented as a thumb wheel or slide bar, and can be used to reset the device to its initial condition, erasing all stored data except for the unique identification 101. The device also includes a physical electronic port 760, and transceiver 770, either RF, IR, or both. For output, the device also includes a message indicator 780, and a display 790, and a loudspeaker 795 which can also act as a silent mechanical vibrator.
FIG. 8 shows the general internal structure of our device. The device includes a processor 810, a memory 900, a transceiver 830, an input interface 840, output interface 850, a communication port 860, a real-time clock 870, and a power unit 880 all connected to each other by a bus 890.
FIG. 9 shows data structures stored in the memory 900. The structure 910 stores the unique ID 101 of the device and the private ID 102, e.g., the owner's name or some other private identification. The unique ID is factory installed and cannot be changed; the user enters the private ID as shown in FIG. 1.
The known list 10 stores entries of unique and private IDs of friends. The entries in this list are generated by connecting two devices together so that the unique and private IDs can be exchanged as shown in FIG. 2.
The location list 20 stores unique IDs and encounter entries of unknown devices. The encounters are stored as encounter entries that include the date, time, and duration of the encounter.
The messages 950 store message texts. The ignore list 960 stores a list of IDs of friends, or pairs of users, who should not be introduced by this device. No introductions are suggested for individuals or pairs of users found on the ignore list.
The former known list 970 stores IDs of users who are no longer considered friends. If a device in close proximity is found to be on the former known list, no exchanges of data are performed, i.e., location lists are not exchanged. Furthermore, no introductions are suggested for users found on the former known list. Programs 980 and other data 990 used by the programs are also stored in the memory.
As an additional feature, certain physical locales can be equipped with a "beacon." The beacon is a relay station to enable time delayed communication between devices. The beacon facilitates the exchange of unique IDs between devices that pass the location at different times. For example, two people might use the same sports facility at slightly different times. A beacon stores a received ID, and then re-broadcasts the ID for a short period of time after reception, for example, one hour. Beacons allow users to leave a "trace" in a particular space that maintains the same location throughout the day.
We have described our devices operating in "stand-alone" configurations. However, our device can also be incorporated into other "host" portable electronic devices, such as hand-held games, cellular phones, or private digital assistants. In this case, the nature of the activities of the host device may also be known, providing additional locational information that may be used to determine when an introduction is suggested between two or more people.
The preferred physical implementation described in this document assumes that lists are exchanged between friends when they are physically close. However, two friends may not see each other frequently enough for this exchange to happen. For example, if one of two friends moves to a new city and regularly passes friends of the old friend in the new city, then there is no way for the device of the friend in the old city to retrieve and act upon this information. Thus, we provide alternative communication links between the devices, so that physical proximity is not required to exchange the lists of unknown IDs. An example of an alternative communication link is the Internet. In this case, the devices communicate with each other through connections on the Internet.
In the physical embodiment described above, portable devices detect a shared location between individuals by noting when other devices are in the same place at the same time. While the nature of the shared location is unknown to the devices. The unique IDs of strangers' devices are known. These unique IDs, and the times at which they were observed, are recorded to mark a shared physical location between two people. At a later time, a device owned by a mutual friend receives this data and can generate a message suggesting an introduction between two strangers.
Taking the same basic concepts, we now map this design to a virtual world, for example, the Internet. In this setting, the shared locations are web pages, newsgroups, chat rooms, or other virtual locations that can be uniquely identified. However, here the number of "visitors" to a particular site can number in the millions per day. In this case, the number of "unknown" people is staggeringly large as compared to those found when navigating through the physical environment. Tracking all of these unknown unique IDs on a per-person basis is thus impractical.
Therefore, we provide means to implement our invention using a combination of computational processes and a wide area network, e.g. the Internet. Individuals still maintain unique and private IDs and lists of friends, but the method of recognizing shared location differs from the physical embodiment of this invention.
In the virtual embodiment, we provide means, e.g., a proxy, to intercept requests to virtual locations, e.g., web pages, chat-rooms, game rooms, and the like. The intercepted locations are used to maintain the location list, or a log of all the places an individual visits on the Internet.
Processes periodically exchange the location lists of friends and, for the purpose of making an introduction, determine if two strangers with a mutual friend share common virtual locations.
FIG. 10 shows a virtual network 1000 according to the second embodiment of the invention. The network includes a number of "client" computers 1001 and "server" computers 1002 connected to each other by a wide area network e.g. the Internet. In reality, the number of clients and servers number in the millions.
The clients 1001 are in most aspects conventional, i.e., workstations, PCs, laptops, cell phones, PDAs, and the like. The clients execute application programs, including a network access application such as a browser 1004. The servers are also conventional. In fact, the client and servers can be identically configured, and both can operate in either a "client" or "server" mode. Generally, it is the servers that maintain virtual locations 1005 such as sites, pages, and other "universal resources." Typically, the locations are identified by a Universal Resource Locator (URL) or some other location name 1006.
It should be noted that the clients can also maintain resources. However, in most cases, the client will need some type of rudimentary file server capability to makes such resources visible to other clients. However, it is possible for that a single client can provide two different users, i.e., strangers, access to the same local virtual location.
One application 1010 generates the unique ID 101 for each user, and associates this ID with the user's private ID 102, for example, the user's name. The application also allows two users, on friendly terms, to exchange their unique and private IDs using, for example, a secure electronic message exchange. Whenever a user requests a web page 1005 with the browser 1004, the request is intercepted by the application 1010, and an entry is made in the location list recording the URL of the request and the unique ID of the user making the request. At a later time, processes on behalf of the two friends can exchange their location lists. Subsequently, the application can execute a routine that determines if two strangers having a common friend share the same virtual location.
In the physical world, users of our invention do not need to explicitly share interests or specific location information, rather, as stated above, the shared location is implied. In the virtual world, we need to explicitly reconstruct the visited locations. Thus, we make the processes that operate on the location lists secure.
Having described implementations in both the physical and virtual worlds, we now note that these can be combined for a system that operates in both the physical and virtual worlds. In this case, all of the, components of the system are the same; the system, however, tracks location in both the physical and virtual worlds and uses this data to generate suggestions for introductions.
Having described the basic elements of our invention and preferred embodiments of the invention, we now describe some additional features that may be found in any embodiment of the invention.
A user has the ability to enter "filter" parameters to influence when, where, and how the system operates. These parameters can, for example, block out specific days and time periods when the device should not be active. In such a case, users could specify that they are not interested in being introduced to people they encounter during working hours.
In the physical embodiment of the invention, if the device is equipped with a GPS receiver or other, similar, location-sensing equipment, users could also filter out encounters for specific geographic areas, e.g., their place of employment. In the virtual embodiment, specific locations on the Internet could be selected to be ignored in the location list.
A user can also specify the rules for determining when an introduction should be suggested. For example, in the physical embodiment, a user living in a densely populated area may require that a higher frequency of shared location be observed before an introduction is suggested. A more socially active person, on the other hand, may desire an introduction on the first encounter.
The duration of the encounters may also be used to alter the decision of when to suggest an introduction.
In the physical embodiment, the range of the transceivers can also be varied, for example, to only exchange IDs on close encounters. This can be done by measuring the signal strength, or varying the signal strength at either the sender or the receiver's end.
The user can be provided with the ability to flag introductions the system should ignore in the future using the ignore list 960. When an introduction is generated by the system, the mutual friend may know that the introduction should not be made, for whatever reason, and should be able to indicate to the system that this introduction should never be suggested again in the future. Similarly, a user may wish to block all introductions for a particular person, for whatever reason. This is a more proactive action then blocking a generated suggested introduction, as it instructs the system to never generate an introduction suggestion for a particular person.
Because relationships change, it may be desirable to designate some friends as former friends. Individuals on this list form the former known list. For individuals found on this list, location lists are not exchanged nor are introductions suggested.
Our system can also consider the relative nature of a relationship between two users when determining the threshold for suggesting an introduction. When we speak of the relative nature of a relationship, we speak of a description of the type of relationship, and/or the relative positions of the individuals in the relationship. For example, one user may be more socially connected than the other user, or one user may hold a position of power over the other user. Whatever the case, a user may wish to indicate the nature of the relationship one has with another user, indicating, for example, that the friend is a co-worker, a sibling, an acquaintance, or an intimate friend. The nature of the relationship can then influence the operation of the device by, for example, influencing the threshold function used to determine when introductions should be suggested. This information can be manually inputted, or may be generated automatically by the system by, for example, measuring the frequency and duration of two friends meeting.
While we have focused on the situation where one mutual friend introduces two strangers, opportunities for meeting people increase when our system considers users connected by more than one person. For example, two users may be linked through two or more mutual friends, rather than one. We thus allow the user to adjust the number of intermediaries to influence the behavior of the system.
So far we have described embodiments where people are introduced. However, it should be understood that the invention can also be applied to other types of entities, such as mobile agents. Mobile agents that are transmitted across a computer network are known. Mobile agents are comprised of code and data, both of which are transmitted across the computer network. Technologies such as client-server protocols, remote procedure call protocols, and distributed object technologies are employed to transmit mobile agents across the computer network. The agents typically "visit" different locations in the network to do work. Often, the agents collaborate with each other. The invention enables agents that are "strangers" to each other to start collaborations through the use of a third part agent, common to the two stranger agents.
Although the invention has been described by way of examples of preferred embodiments, it is to be understood that various other adaptations and modifications may be made within the spirit and scope of the invention. Therefore, it is the object of the appended claims to cover all such variations and modifications as come within the true spirit and scope of the invention.

31 year old man | Austin, TX, USA | Seeking women 21-33 within 70 miles
Proud Belieber.
My parents always wanted me to be a doctor, but I knew Aviation was my true calling. I'm way cooler than my geeky friends and way geekier than my cool friends. I tend to stand out wherever I am. I have a hard time sitting around on my days off, I need to be outside doing something adventurous. Kayaking on town lake, biking the many paths here or enjoying W. 6th. I moved to Austin on a whim last year from New Jersey and couldn't be happier with my decision. Although I grew up in Southern California, NJ was just the most recent stop. I've also lived in Phoenix, Seattle and Sydney Australia. I'm very laid back, fun, and easy to get along with. I have a lot of really interesting friends who make my life all that much better. I absolutely love to travel, It helps you understand and appreciate different cultures. Travel changes people. It broadens perspectives and teaches new ways to measure quality of life. I'm blessed to have a job that allows me to fulfill this. I've worked hard to achieve, learn and become who I am and that's brought me a lot of confidence. I like the me that I am now much better than the old version of me. If you think we'd get along, send me a short message, I'd be happy to hear from you!
Exploring new areas
Baseball, Basketball, Cycling, Football, Hockey, Running, Swimming, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I like Cats, Dogs, Exotic Pets, Fish
I'd love to have a dog but since I'm on the road so much it wouldn't be right. I do have a tomato plant though, close enough.
Middle of the Road
Austin- West 6th, Whole Foods, Town Lake. Beyond ATX- Cinque Terre, Italy, Gimmelwald and Interlaken, Switzerland, Munich, Germany, Paris, Austrian and Swiss Alps, Sydney, Queenstown, New Zealand, Mamanuca Islands, Fiji
Traveling. I truly believe the most rewarding vacations are the kind where you immerse yourself into the local culture. In many ways, spending more money only builds a thicker wall between you and what you came to see.
Since I'm right off of Barton Creek Trail you'll find me out there on my days off and the trail around town lake. Kayaking, road biking and attempting to cook a new recipe or just throw some stuff together, its always an adventure.

We took it easy yesterday as another cold front was forecast to blow through the Clearwater Beach area. After sleeping in until the sedating sounds of rain waned, we decided to move anchorages for better protection from the north wind that was on its way.
We reset the hook, cleaned up a bit, and by about 3 o'clock noticed that the gray clouds of the day had made way for a little sunshine and clear skies for the evening. Given the better weather, we jumped in the dinghy and were off to see if the outdoor movie, scheduled for the night, was still a go. Yes! The screen was up right along the beach at Pier 60 for Sunset Cinema and the night's showing was "It's A Wonderful Life". I love, love, love this movie because it shows that God makes what seems ordinary and insignificant in our lives into something extraordinary and significant when we are living our lives for Him. We made a date night of the moonlit movie by picking up a pizza from a local cafe and snuggled up for the show under the stars.
Sunset Cinema at Clearwater Beach
Just as it was beginning to look a lot like Christmas, we returned to the restaurant where our dinghy was tied, only to find the entrance securely locked for the night. Much earlier than they had told us they'd be closing. Our dinghy was within sight, yet we were separated by about 30 feet of cold, dark water. Matt thought about making a quick swim for it. For about two seconds. The next logical option was to call marina security for a little help. The call yielded neither an unlocked restaurant nor a boat to give us a lift. Looked like we were on our own. So, up to the roof Matt went. His ninja skills paid off as he scaled the building, crawled along the steep peaks of the roof and dropped down to the deck where he could rescue our dinghy. Whew, freezing late night swim avoided and a great laugh was had while break-in arrests were averted.
Ninja captain retrieving our dinghy
We returned to our floating home safely and tucked in for a solid night's rest. This morning, we pulled up the anchor in Clearwater and headed back into the Gulf to sail a few hours south to Tampa. Remember when you used to ride your bike as fast as you could up those really steep homemade ramps and crash down only to get up and do them again? Welcome aboard Kaleo's wild ride today. The first hour or so was pretty rolly and once we turned due south, the north wind propelled us along at about 7 to 8 knots! A few hours later, we negotiated a tricky and rough pass into the ICW, once again proving to us that open ocean sailing seems to have far fewer obstacles to navigate.
Running downwind to Tampa, FL
We're now docked for awhile as we're catching a flight to Texas tomorrow to spend Christmas with family and friends. We hope you enjoy a blessed one with those you love.

DuJuan Daniels, the offensive coordinator for the Cathedral High School football team last fall, accepted a position with the New England Patriots, Irish officials announced Monday.
Daniels, the 1997 Indianapolis Star Indiana Mr. Football at Bishop Chatard, played collegiately at Boston College. He joined the Cathedral staff in 2004 and became offensive coordinator last fall. Mic Roessler, a member of the Irish football staff since 2000, will succeed Daniels as coordinator.
Roessler will step down as softball coach and former assistant Terri Lambert will take over, the school announced. Roessler guided the Irish to an 81-30 record that included three sectional titles, a regional and a City championship in five seasons.

"Multipliers" --The August Leadership Lunch and Learn
Friday, August 9, 2013 from 11:45 AM to 1:00 PM (CDT)
Haven't read the book? No problem. We'll cover the key points and provide the SynkNotes for you to review later. Light lunch included.
Multipliers: How the Best Leaders Make Everyone Else Smarter is the best leadership book to come along in a very long time. Liz Wiseman defines what leadership really is (and there is a lot of confusion about that), how to get better at it, and what to stop doing that isn't leadership. If you are leading people this is a must attend session.
My synopis of the book:
"We consistently find that Multipliers get twice the capability from their people than Diminishers do. Leaders who are Multipliers, who are able to challenge and draw out the very best in others, are extremely valuable to any and every organization. Leaders who lead others to "shrink" in their capacities are Diminishers, and they drain the very life out of people and the organization. Which do you want to be?"
Doors open at 11:45. Review starts at noon. Be finished by 12:45. Feel free to keep the discussion going until 1:15.
See you then. Spread the word.

Mizzou's game against South Carolina on Sunday will be televised on ESPNU.
Sept. 13, 2012
Mizzou continues SEC action next weekend at Walton Stadium when the team hosts Ole Miss and Vanderbilt. The Tigers and Rebels meet up on Friday, Sept. 21 at 6:30 p.m., while Mizzou faces the Commodores at 1 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 23.
Mizzou concluded non-conference action on Thursday, Sept. 6, will a hard-fought 1-0 overtime loss to Ohio State in Columbus, Ohio.
Play went back and forth for much of the game, with neither side gaining much of an advantage. Mizzou had near chances from junior Dominique Richardson and senior Jessica Greer at the end of the first half and regulation, respectively, but both shots narrowly missed the net.
The Buckeyes scored 24 seconds into the overtime session to claim the victory.
Both teams took 15 shots in the contest, while Missouri had an 8-7 corner kick advantage. Mizzou redshirt-sophomore goalie McKenzie Sauerwein made six saves.
Mizzou concluded non-conference play last week and ended the non-league slate with a 5-1 record, including wins against No. 13 Memphis and No. 15 California.
Over the past two season, the Tigers have compiled a 14-3 record against non-conference opponents, for a winning percentage of .824. In 2011, Missouri went 9-2 against non-league foes.

On an individual level, senior Haley Krentz ranks first in assists (five) and is tied for first in assists per game (0.83). Sophomore Abi Raymer is tied for second in game-winning goals (two), while senior Taiwo Adeshigbin ranks tied for seventh in goals (four) and goals per game (0.67), is tied for eighth in points (nine).

Krentz assisted on Mizzou's first goal of the season against Memphis, the second goal against UCSB, the game-winning goal at Cal, the Tigers' fourth and final goal against Arizona State and the second goal against Tennessee Tech.
Entering the fifth weekend of the season, Mizzou stands as one of the most prolific and balanced offenses in the SEC team. The Tigers have four players with at least six points.

Posted: 02 Nov 2012 @ 12:54
THE Bishop of Newcastle, the Rt Revd Martin Wharton, has
cancelled an appearance at a conference on the Holy Land, after
strong objections from the north-east's Jewish community.
Bishop Wharton had been scheduled to speak at a conference
taking place in Gateshead tomorrow, "Peace & Justice in the
Holy Land". The event has been organised by a group of people who
have taken part in the Ecumenical Accompaniment Programme in
Palestine and Israel (EAPPI). Its sponsors include Christian Aid,
CAFOD, and Friends of Sabeel UK.
Bishop Wharton said in a statement that he had decided not to
attend the conference "for the sake of good relations between all
the faith communities in Newcastle".
A spokesman for Newcastle diocese said that Bishop Wharton's
decision not to appear was "not a boycott"; it was because his
attendance "seemed to have become a point of issue between faith
communities within Newcastle".
The Representative Council of North-East Jewry wrote to Bishop
Wharton in August, to protest at his voting for a motion at the
General Synod which supported EAPPI (
Synod, 13 July). The letter said that his vote "makes any
further contact with the Jewish community in the north-east
impossible". The Board of Deputies of British Jews has said that
EAPPI is "partisan" and "anti-Israel".
Pat Devlin, one of the organisers of the conference, said that
there was "no ill-feeling" between Bishop Wharton and the
conference organisers, whom he had met to explain his decision. "We
know that he supports the overall aims of the conference," she
The chief executive of the Council of Christians and Jews (CCJ),
the Revd David Gifford, said that the conference "has the potential
of becoming yet another anti-Jewish meeting, creating more anxiety
and distrust between the north-east Jewish community and the
Church". He suggested that the organisers postpone the conference,
"and reconsider a new way of openness, sensitivity, and
Ms Devlin said that the conference was not "anti-Jewish. It is
coming from a peace and justice and human-rights perspective."
The RC Bishop of Hexham & Newcastle, the Rt Revd Seamus
Cunningham, was scheduled to attend the conference, but also
decided not to attend. He told the Jewish Chronicle that
he had become aware "that many Jewish people in the north-east were
angry and upset".
A report published on Tuesday by a coalition of NGOs, including
Christian Aid, Trading Away Peace: How Europe helps sustain
illegal Israeli settlements, calls on the EU governments to
ban the import of products from Israeli settlements, such as fruit
and vegetables, textiles, and cosmetics. It says settlement
products should be labelled so that consumers can make "an informed
Complaint. The Board of Deputies of British
Jews announced on Wednesday that it had "lodged a formal complaint"
under the Clergy Discipline Measure against the Revd Stephen Sizer,
Vicar of Christ Church, Virginia Water, in Surrey. The Board of
Deputies said that the complaint was "based on statements made by
Revd Sizer that the Board regards as anti-Semitic".
Mr Sizer was accused earlier this year of linking to
anti-Semitic material online. A review by the Crown Prosecution
Service concluded that he had not committed any criminal offence
(News, 4
16 March).

Still inflating the student loan bubble
The Orange County Register | August 21, 2014 | Updated: August 21, 2014 6:54pm
Photo By Jacquelyn Martin/STFSurrounded by college students, President Barack Obama signs a Presidential Memorandum on reducing the burden of student loan debt, Monday, June 9, 2014, in the East Room of the White House in Washington. The president said the rising costs of college have left America's middle class feeling trapped. He says no hard-working youngster in America should be priced out of a higher education. Obama signed a presidential memorandum he says could help an additional 5 million borrowers. (AP Photo/Jacquelyn Martin)
Perhaps we should not be surprised that the Obama administration's solution to a problem of high debts is to incur even more debt. This was the thinking with the economy as a whole, which has languished for more than five years since the official end of the 2007-09 recession, and now the administration is doubling down on this strategy to address student loan debt.
The U.S. Department of Education has announced that it will ease the government's direct student loan rules to allow more students to obtain loans.
The revised rules would restrict the time period for reviewing one's credit from the last five years to the last two years, except for major credit problems like bankruptcy and foreclosure, and would allow people to more easily qualify for loans if they have up to $2,085 in debt currently in collections or written off by creditors, which would generally disqualify someone under existing rules.
The Education Department estimates that the new rules would allow an additional 370,000 borrowers to qualify for student loans. The rules are expected to be finalized by November and take effect by the fall of 2015.
Student loan debt is certainly a serious problem. The Federal Reserve Bank of New York reports that student loan debt tops $1.1 trillion and is the worst credit risk of any major debt category. About 11 percent of student loans are more than 90 days delinquent.
Subsidizing higher education by offering below-market interest rate loans or by extending credit to those whom private lenders - who must put their own money at risk - deem to be excessive risks, attracts more students, but it also drives up the cost of education - at taxpayers' expense.
The goal of helping more kids go to college may be well-intended, just as was encouraging more people to own their own homes. But, as with the housing market, promoting more debt for students who are poor credit risks and will not be able to pay off that debt only inflates a debt bubble that will prove to be a yoke around the necks of students and taxpayers alike.

Silicon nano research for lithium-ion batteries commercialized within five years?
In general, you have two options with lithium ion battery technology. You can optimize the battery chemistry for high-energy storage in the kind of batteries you'll find in today's laptops and cell phones. These li-ion cells rely on cobalt cathodes which have an unfortunate although rarely experienced ability to go into a thermal runaway condition and catch fire. Or, you can optimize for power – that is, the ability to charge and discharge rapidly. These are the batteries that GM is pursuing for its extended-range electric car, the Chevy Volt, which uses lithium ion iron phosphate batteries from companies like A123 and LG Chem. It's almost impossible to get an lithium iron phosphate battery to go into thermal runaway, but at the trade-off of much lower energy storage. [Update: Thanks to the alert reader who corrected me - LG Chem uses a mangaese-based cathode.]
This past week, Yi Cui, assistant professor of materials science and engineering at Stanford, announced success in expanding the energy storage capacity of lithium ion batteries by using silicon nanowires for the anode, which in current batteries are typically made of carbon. Silicon's advantage over carbon is that it has a much higher energy capacity. However, silicon's drawback has been that as it absorbs positively charged lithium atoms during charging, it swells and then shrinks during discharge, resulting in cracks. Cui's research shows that while the silicon nanowires still expand and contract, they don't fracture. Use of silicon nanowires results in a 10x increase in energy storage, with the potential to last for over 1,000 cycles. (Actually laboratory cycles are currently in the tens, rather than thousands of cycles.)
There's an excellent interview with Cui on the GM-Volt.com site that asks him if his research could transfer over to the lithium iron phosphate battery chemistry used by A123 and LG Chem. Cui says that combining a current battery's cathode materials with a silicon nanowire anode will significantly improve the performance. Cui says in the interview that he thinks the technology could be commercialized within five years.

Ok, I took 50mg Clomid 3-7 this month. I got my BFP at 11DPO & had my Betas on 11DPO & 13DPO, they tripled in 48 hours - from 65-194. At my CD 12 follicle scan, Dr. only saw one mature follicle, but 4 smaller ones were visible. SO, did any of you have hcG triple in 48 hours or only see one large follicle & end up with twins? Can the smaller follicles release?
hcG tripled in 48 hours. What does this mean?
Posted 02/23/2012
Oh my! How rude of them! I saw a lot of that on the ATTC: the next level board. Women were catty! And as soon as someone posted that they got a BFP the group owner would put a generic Congratulations and turn off commenting! Like, maybe I wanted to congratulate that person but couldn't because it was off. Funny thing was, the group owner posted her own BFP several months ago and of course that thread is still open!!!
I agree- this group is great! Everyone is just supportive and happy for everyone that does get a BFP. I'm glad I found it :)

I Wish Bruce Gerencser Knew How Much Christ Loves Him
What follows is a response by Rosemary Thomas to a letter I wrote to editor of the Defiance Crescent-News.
In reference to Bruce Gerencser's letter of June 1, his honesty and willingness to stand by what he believes is commendable. It puts many of us Christians to shame.
Yes, I am a Christian and declare Christ as my Lord and Savior. God doesn't need me nor anyone else to defend Him, however, I wish Gerencser knew how much Christ loves him.
His comments show that he does have a knowledge of the Bible. Has he ever questioned how it is that the Bible has survived 2,000 years without being changed or its message diluted? The Dead Sea Scrolls show it, still today, being authentic when compared with these documents.
I do believe in the rapture of the Church, however, I am not overly concerned with end-time predictions. When I breathe my last breath that will be my end of time, so every day is the time to be ready to meet the Master. Yes, indeed, I am going to heaven.
We don't have the mind of God. Our understanding is like that of a child compared to an adult so, of course, we have many disagreements and misinterpretations. As I Corinthians 13:12 says, "we see in a mirror dimly." It is like trying to read fine print without your glasses. If you read the entire chapter of I Corinthians 13, loving God and each other is the cornerstone of our faith.

Alien: Isolation - Pre-Order Trailer
Take a look at this trailer for Alien: Isolation to see what bonus content you'll receive when you pre-order the game.
by Gajan Kulasingham on
Did you enjoy this video?Sign In to Upvote
The trailer seems very interesting, I'm very much excited for this game. I have pre-ordered the cd key of this game at cdkeyhouse.com and paid only $35.99 (45% off on original price).
pss does anyone know how we get Last Survivor when you play as Ripley trying to save the cat and get to the Shuttle Narcissus in Australia????
to go aboard Nostromo after all these years BRILLIANT STUFF cant wait to be scared out of my wits battling as one of those legendary characters THANKS ALIEN ISOLATION!!!
Im for killing that godamn thing right now......Parker
Too bad this is just way to scary to play...no way.
That is the coolest SEGA logo graphic ive seen since Genesis
god that sound track gave me the hibijibies :D
looks interesting, though characters aproaching too much to he uncanny valley.
I'm sick of being lied to, therefore I no longer pre-order games and no one else should either!
Sigh, I want to believe, but I just don't. We haven't had a good Alien game in eons and this is the same publisher that has screwed up the previous Alien games. Are we really supposed to believe that they've "seen the light" and corrected their previous blunders? Or are they just trying to figure out if they can trick us into giving them some quick cash?
This is where a real journalist website would get with Sega and whomever the actual developers are for this game and grill them on those questions.
Actually, I need to pre-order my books for school!
Seems promising and with the digital characters of the movie too, I am onboard.
I'm pre-ordering the GOTY edition.
Finally a game company has the potential to make a great game in the alien universe. There are some good ones, but nothing great until hopefully now. Come on it's Ripley!
pre order this, bonus that, well, why don't you preorder my round shiny bottoms and get my long brown food residue as a bonus huh?
Well...that looks exciting!
@ferna1234 Scariest thing in the video was the character models eyes, very uncanny valley
@bigmikeOK well, they've got to get it right sometime right?

Read Poems by
Orlin Collier
If i were to tell you that my heart is gray
What would you do to make it red again?
If i were to say that i dont miss you
Would you understand my pain?
If i were to show you how much you mean
Would you notice that my heart stopped beating?
If i were to picture things in my mind to be perfect
What would you do to tell me things wont ever be the same?
If you were to tell me your heart was gray
I would give you mine in place of yours
If you were to say that you dont miss me
I would understand your pain
If you were to show me how much i mean
I would notice that your heart stopped beating
If you were to picture things in your mind to be perfect
I Would tell you that they are, your just ignoring it
I would tell you how big of a part you are in my life
I would say to you that you are my hero
I would show you my scars and heal your wounds
I would picture us in a place that does not harm love
If you could see the hole in my heart
Would you bother to fix it
Or would you let it fall apart?
