Alyson Hannigan vs. Hilary Duff: Stroller Style-Off (PHOTOS)
The last thing on a new mother's mind is fashion, which is why we were so impressed with new celebrity moms Alyson Hannigan and Hilary Duff.
These gorgeous actresses clearly took the time to put together killer looks before taking their kids out for a stroller spin.
This weekend, Alyson was spotted in Santa Monica wearing an off-the-shoulder white T-Shirt and shades, and Hilary was seen wearing a leopard print top with mint green pants in Los Angeles.
We love that these two fierce mamas are letting their post-maternity fashion shine! Who do you think had the best stroller style? Vote below!

WAS humanity's first depiction of a volcanic eruption daubed on the wall of a house in Turkey 8500 years ago? Geological evidence now supports this controversial claim.
In 1963, archaeologist James Mellaart found a large mural on the wall of a house in Çatalhöyük, the largest known Stone Age town. He interpreted it as a map of the town with a twin-peaked volcano, Hasan Dağ, erupting in the background.
But not everyone agrees, partly because there was no evidence that Çatalhöyük's people saw Hasan Dağ erupt, says Axel Schmitt of the University of California in Los Angeles.
So Schmitt climbed Hasan Dağ and gathered samples of rock formed in an eruption. The rocks were about 9000 years old – roughly the same age as the mural. Schmitt presented his work on 30 October at the Geological Society of America meeting in Denver, Colorado.
Stephanie Meece, who studied the mural at the University of Cambridge, is not convinced. She says the background may look like a volcano to geologists, "but to the inhabitants it would have looked like a leopard skin". The people of Çatalhöyük were obsessed with animals, she says, and painted them often.

Pat McCrory on Local Issues
I'm recommending that we pursue legislation to reallocate a portion of money away from the bloated and frankly annoying advertising and the large administration cost of the Lottery Commission, and we will use that money to directly help our students with technology.
I also think we need to work together to give schools more flexibility to spend lottery funds on digital and virtual learning, which school districts, according to our laws, are not allowed to do right now.
There's a pot of money right now that can only be used on certain things. Why not let all of our districts use that money on technology and virtual learning? This is the future. Why don't we be ahead of the curve as opposed to being behind the curve?

BIMP is a graphical batch plugin to apply a set of GIMP manipulations on groups of images.
You can use predefined manipulations like resize, crop, flip, rotate, color correction, sharpen, watermark, format conversion, rename, but you can also select other installed plugins or script-fu and apply them to each image.
Windows version and source code for Linux/Mac systems: http://www.alessandrofrancesconi.it/projects/bimp/
This was just the thing I needed. Trying to figure out where to put the downloaded file slowed me down.
It went in C:\Users\MyUserName\.gimp-2.8\plug-ins.
Thank you so much.
Thanks a lot. Keep it up.
Thanks for the new version and for fixing the subsampling bug I reported. This plugin is incredibly useful to me, please keep up the good work.
I don't know how I missed your reply until now but yeah, it is ok now. Although the naming of the 2 middle quality options don't allow an easy correlation with those in Gimp and the order in which they appear could cause confusion.
By test:
2x1, 1x1, 1x1 = 4:2:2 horizontal (chroma halved)
1x2, 1x1, 1x1 = 4:2:2 vertical (chroma halved)

"It's to encourage people to preserve old buildings," explained Scherer. "The landmarks in town have a lot to do with defining the unique character of the town. It gives people a sense of place and a sense of time."
Similarly, state and federal grants are also available for those who own structures on a historic register.
The preservation committee also helps the town's boards and developers to preserve historic structures and areas.
Kazmierczak feels that history can coexist with progress instead of being destroyed by it.
"We're trying to preserve [historic structures] in a way not to stop the development, but to come up with a way of reusing the building," he said. "All of it is to keep the town the way it was, but not to stop today's development either.""

what to buy
For eco-conscious shoppers who want the greenest mattress available, it's hard to beat Organic Mattresses Inc. (OMI). Its mattresses are made from all-natural, sustainably sourced materials, such as the company's own "cruelty free" Ecowool, organic cotton (used in both threads and fabrics), and 100 percent natural rubber latex. Although difficult to find in stores, these mattresses come in a range of styles, including innerspring options. While reviews are scarce, those we found are extremely positive.
Lots of options. Most of Organic Mattresses Inc.'s models are made of natural latex, and a few can be customized to the buyer's firmness preference. This is one feature New York Magazine's Sarah Bernard likes most about the OMI mattress she tests. Although that model is now discontinued, the current "Duo" model enables buyers to customize individual zones within the mattress for greater comfort and support. Editors at SleepLikeTheDead.com say latex mattresses minimize pressure points and reduce pain, although they can be uncomfortably warm. Nevertheless, a Yelp.com user credits his OMI mattress with relieving numbness in his fingers, and says it feels "like sleeping on a cloud."
"Green" costs serious green. Organic Mattresses Inc.'s models cost between $2,900 and $10,100 for a queen set. All are backed with what the company calls an "industry-leading 20-year limited warranty," but no details are provided. Yet for the kind of buyer who wants a "green" mattress, value includes how natural and sustainable the product is -- and using those criteria, OMI mattresses are unbeatable. All are handmade in the U.S. in a "smoke-free, fragrance-free and cruelty-free environment," according to the company, and they contain only natural materials. Furthermore, the mattresses aren't treated with chemicals like flame retardants (but they still meet fire safety standards).
Latex will last. All-latex models, like those in the Organic Mattresses Inc. line last an average of eight to 12 years, according to SleepLikeTheDead.com; in comparison, the average life span for mattresses in general is about seven years, the website reports. The most common durability problem with latex models is that the foam compresses over time. This can reduce comfort. Nevertheless, the OMI Terra model boasts an extra feature: The upper pillow top is removable, so if it begins to sag, you can replace it rather than discarding the entire mattress. OMI's product line includes free-standing pillow tops, which you can buy to place on your mattress.

Bernard tests 100 mattresses, and her favorite is the expensive David model from Organic Mattresses Inc. It has layers of natural latex foam that can be customized to the user's firmness preference. Although the David model is now discontinued, some existing OMI mattresses have similar features.
Review: I Slept on 100 Mattresses, Sarah Bernard, Feb. 8, 2009
2. O, The Oprah Magazine
Writer Laura Fraser searches for eco-friendly mattresses and finds many manufacturer claims misleading. Nevertheless, she calls the Organic Mattresses Inc. (OMI) mattress line "rigorously green," with sustainable materials like organic cotton and all-natural latex. She says that if she could afford it, she would buy an OMI mattress "in a heartbeat."

4. Yelp.com
This is the only owner review we found for a mattress by Organic Mattresses Inc. It's actually a critique of the store that sold the mattress, but "Yorkey N." highly praises the mattress's comfort and credits it with relieving both the morning numbness in his fingers and his partner's migraines.

Could, if it's possible mount some 30cm trellis on top? Alternatively a pagoda would shield you from prying eyes especially covered with lovely climbers. It would also give you something to look at and scents in your house.
was White Horses the one wherre they galloped through the sea at the start or is it something else I'm thinking of?
Even Noddy (original) takes me back. I still have TessaBear! Must check her condition
Glyn I found Skyfall great entertainment. Won't say more except Daniel Cranes body Yum!
Probably a mistake putting that on herer.
Just been to greenhouse and attempted hardwood cuttings on this pretty shrub we inherited absolutely no idea what it is but would like a back up in case anything happens to it. Tried with softwood cuttings - dismal failure.
Love the Noddy costume complete with getaway car, Hope Jean is OK- not too cold. Can I be tessa Bear please?
Yes I know but I don't think I have a pic Had already noted down to photo and post next year.
When the seeds germinate into wheat or ehatever if its not in way I allow to ripen and then put stalks on my bird table.
We have gold finches, blue, great tits, This year there have been a couple of nuthatch, Their antics are also very amusing. Just had 3 starlings visiting, Mr Robin (very bossy) and wood pigeons who walk around under the feeders eating the detritus from the other birds. Also I think Black caps but not sure. Have not seen Chaffinched this year and blackbirds hop around on the fencebut don't visit at moment.
I do feel lucky about the goldfinches as at last house we saw them but they never visited.
Just come in after taking cuttings from my mysterious shrub. Have put 5 in a long pot, think it had a rose in it, and followed all instructions, made a compost mix of, JI3, pot compost and grit. Have dated pot, and as I do not have a cold frame (must put it on one of my Christmas lists!) have popped it in far corner of my unheated greenhouse, just have to remember to water it occassionally.
Current plan is to plant pot put in spring
Reading posts again I think a gravel tray for pot would be an idea. Am I right?
Morning All
Last night settled down to catch up on University Challenge and Only Connect before this evening. Woke up with The History of the World which I find very boring but OH likes it so went to sleep again.
Can't get going this morning
Dog came back from walk very wet and full of bounce, Is now in isolation in kitchen as his large hairy feet will take hours to dry even after rub down
Absolutely paining here. Fits the mood!
For those who never know what to do with red cabbage
NB we use apple rather than cranberries unless we are being festive
Thanks Pam LL

brm7675 asked an interesting question in a Sun Deck thread
I personally think with Kozart and Rolen going on the DL the team would be better to hold pat...not make a move at all.When July 30th rolls around and the Reds make no "serious" moves to improve the roster. Sure they deal Ramon for a couple AA "prospects" and maybe deal Gomes for a single A prospect and do nothing else except calling ups a couple of players from AAA in Sept. How will you view the GM and owner then? Did they do the right thing by NOT dealing away our talent, or are we again bound to be middle of the road type team with our hope on the youngsters making us better?
Here's why.
Going into the season everyone was talking about how the Reds would win the division...I never thought so and I think last year was the mirage. The team is VERY GOOD and next year after another year 2012 is when I see this team really putting it all together and being a dominant force to be reckoned with.
The only move I would make if I were Walt is to get rid of Arroyo and bring in a power bat to put in the middle of the lineup.
I'd consider trading BPhillips because while he is a GREAT player and a fan favorite there is no way he is the heart and soul of this team..other players do not gravitate too him or follow him...I'd bring int he power bat, put Renteria at 2B next year and play Cozart every day at SS.
What are your thoughts?

Bought this suit for school championships. This is our second blue seventy. Other knee skins just don't fit like this one. Use the size chart. Swimmer is 5"2 and 105lbs and got a size 22. Takes the two of us about 15 minutes to get it on but fits perfect. Significant time drops from previous weeks. Great purchase!

In the picture, the suit looks like a two tone leotard with leggings, but in person the color is much more uniform and it looks really good. I wear a 30 in my Dolphin practice suit and the Blueseventy Nero TX Blue Kneeskin in 22 feels like its made for me. Took a little while to put on and the straps hurt at first, but felt fine by my first race. Made two national cuts with it, and had 7 best times in 7 swims in my Blueseventy last weekend.
Purchased for my daughter. She has always worn Fastskins but this suit was on sale - 25% off. I decided to give it a try. Her measurements (5"7" and 135 lbs) put her between the 24 and 26, so we went with the 24. I also left 30 extra minutes before warm-up to get the suit on. It was tough but it IS the right size. She achieved 8 of 10 best times - she didn't just cut 10ths of a second but 2 to 3 seconds. Perfect suit and the orange color made it easy to pick her out of the crowd!
I have this suit and it is amazing! The first time I wore it i felt so light and fast! It helps drop a lot of time and I love the color! I usually wear a size 26/28 practice suit, but in this I got a 22. I would really recommend it for skinny and slim girls, like me. This suit does run small, but it is an awesome suit.
This was our first Knee Skin for my 11 year old. She dropped in all her times in a championship meet. Very very pleased! We bought a size 20 - she is 5'1" and 90 lbs. Took us 20mn to get her in it the first time an less for subsequent swims. So far so good...!
In small size, this is the best ( and one of most expensive) swimsuit for younger high-level (LSC/ zone) competition swimmers! It fits over the hips and chest of a girl, whereas the other suits do not fit well because they are molded to fit a woman body... This suit in this color was very hard to find, sold out on many websites including the manufacturer's! SwimOutlet got it to us in no time! My girl now wears a 22; it feels very tight as it should!
Start putting on the suit at least 45 minutes before you race. You will need assistance. The shoulder straps can get tight while you are waiting between events, wear a bikini top and roll the top down while you wait to avoid sore shoulders. The suit performed well, and help drop time. When you feel the best, like you will in the suit, you are the best. I received plenty of compliments.
Super tight fit - perfect for slimmer girls
Bought this suit as a birthday present for my 22 year old who swims Masters. She is 5'4 and around 110 lbs. Ordered a size 24 (she wears a size 28 practice suit and a 28 in the speedo fast skin). This is her first knee suit and it was definitely quite difficult to put on. Took us three attempts but we kept at it because we were pretty sure it was the right size and knew it was suppose to be really tight. If she wasn't so lean I am not sure if we could have squeezed her into it. When she put it on to race it only took about 10-15 minutes since we had practiced beforehand. She raced in it a couple of days ago and dropped 8 seconds from her 1000 free time and broke a record. Since she has only worn it once it is hard to say how well it will hold up, etc. but for now we are very happy with the purchase. We ordered the suit in pink, which looks really nice but since it is a lighter color it is a bit sheer around the upper leg and crotch area.
My daughter loves this suit - high performance and quality!

This application is a continuation application of U.S. Ser. No. 12/075,998, filed Mar. 14, 2008 now U.S. Pat. No. 7,590,406 which claims the benefit under 35 USC 119 of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/930,837 filed May 18, 2007 and GB Application No. 0709604.3 filed May 18, 2007, the disclosure of each of which is incorporated by reference herein.
The present invention generally relates to a method and system for allocating resources for accessing data within a public network and is particularly, but not exclusively, suited to providing access to data when the delivery of data is metered, such as when data are delivered to terminals connected to mobile networks.
As is well known, the Internet provides access to huge numbers of web pages; increasingly the web pages include nested links and objects, the delivery of which can require what is sometimes a non-trivial amount of bandwidth. This is typically not a problem for requests received from terminals that are fixedly connected to the Internet (either directly, or via one of several network portions), and of course the transmission of data within the Internet—on a per request basis—is free. However, with the advent of widespread deployment of 3G networks, requests are increasingly being received from terminals connected to wireless networks. Unlike the transmission of data within fixed-line networks, the transmission of data within mobile networks is typically metered on a per transmission basis. As a result, mobile terminals are faced with hitherto unseen costs for accessing web sites.
In accordance with aspects of the present invention, there is provided methods and systems according to the appended claims.
In some arrangements embodiments provide a method of recording allocation of resources in response to a request, the method comprising:
receiving a request for a data item to be transmitted to a device in the network, the request comprising data indicative of one or more requested items;
accessing a storage system so as to identify data listings having items generating a match with the requested data item;
retrieving data indicative of a network location corresponding to the or each matched data item, the network location providing access to a set of data corresponding to the matched data item;
retrieving data indicative of an amount of data and a resource allocation associated with the set of data accessible via the network location;
on the basis of a network subscription associated with device and the amount of data, evaluating actual usage of network resources when accessing the set of data;
in the event that the set of data are accessed from the network location, offsetting said evaluated actual usage against the resource allocation so as to identify an amount of usage of network resources to be charged to the network subscription; and
updating a record associated with said data listing so as to log said resource allocation event.
These embodiments of the invention therefore provide a means of offsetting access to data from a given web site on the basis of a resource allocation associated with the network location, for example a web site. This can be pre-specified by the information provider associated with the web site. Preferably the data are transmitted to, and the evaluation is performed by, the device from which the request is received, such as a mobile device. However, in other arrangements the amount of data, the resource allocation and the corresponding network location are transmitted to a device other than the mobile device. The requested items can be key words making up a search request or can be web site names indicating web sites of interest to a user associated with the mobile device.
In either arrangement, data indicative of transport costs associated with the network subscription are retrieved and, when the device performing the evaluation is the mobile device associated with the network subscription, the transport costs can be retrieved from a removable storage device associated therewith, or from data provided by the corresponding network operator or input manually.
In the event that one or more data elements from the set are retrieved by the mobile device, data indicative of the actual usage of network resources is transmitted to a billing system maintained by the network operator associated with the network subscription. The actual usage can be used in decrementing an account balance, or, in the event that the resource allocation is accounted for after accessing the data, the actual usage of network resources can be used to increment the account balance associated with the network subscription.
In some embodiments the resource allocation can be weighted according to the size of one or more data element accessible from the network location, the number of nested links, and/or rating data associated with the network location whereby to evaluate said actual usage.
The mobile device can be arranged to display the data listings as a list of selectable links, which are ordered in dependence on the amount of usage of network resources to be charged to the network subscription. The links can be classified on the basis of the amount of usage of network resources to be charged to the network subscription; examples of such classifications include fully subsidised, partially subsidised and non-subsidised.
Embodiments of the invention can also comprise sending information about the network location to the mobile device prior to retrieving the data indicative of an amount of data and the resource allocation associated with the set of data accessible via the network location; typically this involves transmitting the set of data accessible via the network location to the device and receiving data indicative of selected elements from the set of data. These selected elements can then be used to adjust the amount of data (and thence the evaluated usage) associated with the set of data. Typically selection of a given element indicates that the element should be excluded from the download of data from the network location, and so effectively reduces the amount of data to be factored into the evaluation. The selection process can be dependent upon the amount of data to be downloaded, the number of nested links, ratings applied to the data, and other such characteristics.
According to another aspect of the present invention there is provided a mobile terminal configured to evaluate resource requirements in relation to data access from a given network location.
The embodiments are particularly well suited to use in the context of providing search results to a mobile terminal, because the transmission of data over wireless networks is chargeable.
Embodiments of the invention are particularly convenient for use in transmitting search results to a terminal connected to a mobile communications network.
According to a further aspect of the invention there is provided a method of identifying a characteristic of a set of data accessible via a link specifying a network location; the characteristics include size of elements of the set of data, rating applied to the set of data, amount of resource that has been allocated in relation to elements of the set of data etc. and the method comprises:
receiving a request for a said characteristic to be transmitted to a device in the network, the request comprising data indicative of a said link;
identifying a link listing generating a match with the requested link, said link listing being identifiable from a list comprising a plurality of link listings;
retrieving data indicative of a set of data accessible from the identified link listing;
identifying a said characteristic from the retrieved set of data on the basis of predefined characteristic request criteria; and
transmitting data indicative of the identified characteristic to the device.
According to a yet further aspect of the present invention there is provided a user interface for a mobile device, the user interface being for use in designating an element of data as having a type of downloadable status (such as "not downloadable" or "downloadable"). The user interface preferably comprises display means arranged to display the set of data in conjunction with a plurality of selectable display objects, each being assigned to a given element of the set of data. The display means is responsive to selection of a given said display object so as to designate the element of data corresponding thereto as having a first type of downloadable status, and the mobile station is arranged to transmit data indicative of elements having said first type of downloadable status to a network node for use in controlling data subsequently transmitted to the mobile station.
This therefore provides a means of explicitly selecting or deselecting individual elements from transmission to the mobile station.
In accordance with further aspects of the invention there is provided a distributed system and apparatus for carrying out the method steps described above.
Further features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description of preferred embodiments of the aspects of the invention, given by way of example only, which is made with reference to the accompanying drawings. It is to be understood that other embodiments may be utilized and structural and functional modifications may be made without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention.
As described above, embodiments of the present invention are generally concerned with allocating resources for providing providers and/or end users with access to publicly accessible material via devices such as mobile terminals. The nature of the process for quantifying the resource allocation and the criteria relating thereto is described in detail below, but first a description of the infrastructure needed to support some embodiments of the invention will be presented with reference to
In the current embodiment the distributed information system 1 comprises a plurality of information providers 6 a, 6 b, 6 c, at least some of which are arranged to store content and information, and a search engine 10, all of which are connected to a network 12 either directly or indirectly (e.g. via the Internet, local area networks (LANs), other wide area networks (WANs), and regional networks accessed over telephone lines, such as commercial information services). Mobile terminals 2, 4 are adapted to communicate with the various information providers 6 a, 6 b, 6 c via mobile network 14 and an appropriate gateway GW, as shown; the terminals 2, 4 can be mobile telephones or PDAs, lap top computers and the like, and the mobile network 14 can comprise a licensed network portion (such as is provided by cellular networks using e.g. Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) technology, Wideband Code Division Multiplex Access (WCDMA); Code Division Multiplex Access (CDMA), WiMax) and/or unlicensed network portions (such as is provided by Wireless LANs and Bluetooth technologies). The gateway GW can be a GPRS support node (GGSN) forming part of the mobile network 14.
The mobile terminals 2, 4 comprise browser programs adapted to locate, and access data from, web sites corresponding to the or each information provider 6 a, 6 b, 6 c. The browser programs allow users of the terminals 2, 4 to enter addresses of specific web sites, typically in the form of Uniform Resource Locators, or URLs, and are typically adapted to receive and display web and WAP pages; in the event that a given terminal 2 is only capable of processing and displaying WAP pages, translation of a web page can be performed by a device in the network or by suitable translation software running on the device 2. As is known in the art, any given web page can include links nested therein, which, when selected, can provide access to other pages or data such as plain textual information, or digitally encoded multimedia content, such as software programs, audio signals, videos graphics, etc. Accordingly selection of such links results in transmission of further data to the terminals 2, 4.
In accordance with conventional systems, the search engine 10 is operable to receive keywords of interest to the users of terminals 2, 4, and, by accessing data stored in the search database 20, to generate search results relating thereto. The search results are organised into a list of hypertext links to content that contain information relevant to these search terms; each link generally corresponds to a network location corresponding to a given information provider 6 a, 6 b, 6 c.
As described above, embodiments of the invention are concerned with allocating resources for providing access to publicly accessible material via devices such as mobile terminals, and provide a mechanism for evaluating delivery costs to be borne by the subscriber and presenting the results in conjunction with these costs; this might be different to the actual delivery costs, since information providers can allocate resources for use in offsetting the actual delivery costs.
For each information provider 6 a, 6 b, 6 c, the search database 20 can hold allocation records comprising data indicative of an allocation of resource for use in offsetting delivery costs associated with providing access to their content. The allocation records can comprise parameters specifying an allocation in absolute terms or in relative terms (e.g. as a percentage of the overall delivery costs), together with parameters specifying temporal data and location data that control applicability of the allocations. Furthermore the search database 20 can hold rating records comprising rating data gathered from third parties and recipients that have already accessed the content. These rating data preferably relate to usability of a given web site from the point of view of a user of a mobile device, and can be collected automatically or manually. The search database 20 can additionally hold resource requirement records, which specify data such as the size of the web page accessible via the URL associated with the information provider 6 a, 6 b, 6 c, links that are nested within the web page, and objects accessible via the web site.
Rather than being stored within the search database 20, one or more of the allocation, storage and/or rating records can alternatively be held in a database (not shown) maintained by (a) third party/parties, in which case the search engine 10 can query the third party database in order to retrieve this information at the time of collating the search results.
These allocation and resource requirement data can be specified by a given information provider 6 a, 6 b, 6 c via a form or similar (not shown), and in the case of the resource requirements data, software components associated with the search database 20 can be arranged to download the web page so as to verify, or correct, the submitted data. Once the data have been verified, the search database 20 stores the same in a database record corresponding to the information provider 6 a; an example of a suitable schema is shown in
The processes involved in collating the search results will now be described with reference to
It will thus be appreciated that in at least some embodiments the data returned to the mobile terminal 2 include, for any given search listing and thus information provider 6 a identified to have content relating to the keywords submitted from the mobile terminal 2, data indicative of the amount of data retrievable from the information provider 6 a, data indicative of the amount of resources that have been allocated by the information provider 6 a to offset the costs of the mobile terminal 2 accessing the content, and data indicative of ratings applied to the content of the information provider 6 a. Accordingly the mobile terminal 2 includes bespoke software processing components arranged to process these data in order to organise the results into various categories such as "free to access", "access subsidised", "fully chargeable". These software components will now be described with reference to
The mobile terminal 2 has an antenna 401 for communicating across the network 14 in known manner and provides a user interface, having a keypad 403 and display screen 405, a loudspeaker 407 and a microphone 409; alternatively the user interface could comprise components such as touch screens, touch pads and the like. The handset also comprises a processor 411, an operating environment 413 and various standard software applications such as a browser (as described above); the mobile terminal 2 is also provided with a smart card reader 417 of known type for interacting with a removable or non-removable SIM or a UICC 419, which may be provided with a processor, operating environment, and software applications. In order to process data according to embodiments of the invention, the mobile terminal 2 includes a search results processing software component 415, which can be embedded within the browser or can be a separate application running on the mobile terminal 2. It will be appreciated that the results processing component 415 could comprise means for sending the search request in the first instance, and thus be configured to monitor for the search results message M1 in response to the query in accordance with standard methods.
Operation of the various components of the distributed information system 1 when servicing a search request will now be described with reference to
The search request is received by the search engine 10, having been routed via the mobile network 14, gateway GW and other network portions, and the request receiving component 301 extracts the keywords from the search request, formulating a query based thereon and sending same to the search database 20 (step S5.3). The search database 20 performs a lookup in respect of the keywords and retrieves data indicative of network location and other data stored within fields 201, 203, 205, 207 etc., and creates a message M1 as described above. The message M1 is then sent to the mobile terminal 2 (step S5.5).
Once the message M1 has been received, the search results processing software component 415 is arranged to identify the respective search listings therein, which is to say data specifying URL, resource allocation, rating, and resource requirement corresponding to information providers 6 a . . . 6 c identified as having content relevant to the keywords contained within the search request. These data are then processed by the results processing component 415 using various algorithms in order to identify which of the information providers' content can be accessed for free or at a subsidised rate, and optionally, to identify ratings applicable to the content (step S5.7).
For example, assuming information provider 6 a has a resource requirement of 3 MB (2 MB+5 click-through links), and that the provider 6 a has specified an allocation of 1
These amounts are then compared against the actual transport costs associated with delivering data from the various network locations to the terminal 2: this information can be derived from delivery plan data stored either on the SIM 419, or delivered, upon request, to the terminal, from the operator in respect of which the terminal 2 is a subscriber, or can be entered manually. For example, assuming the costs of transport to terminal 2 are P=0.007
The foregoing passages assume that all of the information providers listed in the search database 20 have submitted a non-zero allocation of resources for use in offsetting the costs of accessing their content. However, the search database 20 will also hold entries corresponding to information providers that are not interested in subsidising access to their content. Since the query performed by the database querying software component 303 will return all data corresponding to all information providers having entries in the database 20 associated with to the keywords specified in the search request, the message M1 will include entries corresponding to non-paying and paying information providers.
The search listings could be assigned one of the above-mentioned access categories ("free to access", "access subsidised", "fully chargeable"), and be presented to the recipient in the form of a URL link together with an indication of the assigned category. The rating data can additionally be presented in conjunction with the category, thereby providing an indication to the recipient of a generally accepted value of the content accessible from respective information providers 6 a, 6 b, 6 c. Examples of possible graphical representations of this information are shown in
When a link within the search listings is selected, this causes the terminal 2 to send an account identifier and URL corresponding to the selected listing to the search engine 10; the search engine 10, more specifically the account updating software component 307 thereof, is then responsible for updating the respective account together with providing a means of re-directing the request to the URL of the selected listing. Typically the account identifier is embedded as a parameter in the URL, but it could be embedded within a cookie that is transmitted to, and maintained at, the terminal 2 along with the results message M1.
Assuming the user to select one of the links appearing within the subsidised portion (e.g. information provider 6 a), message M2 comprising account identification and/or the selected URL is transmitted to the search engine 10 (step S5.9). When received, the account updating component 307 sends a standard HTTP retrieval request to the URL listed within message M2, the request having, as source address, a network identifier corresponding to the terminal 2 (step S5.11).
Alternatively the search engine 10 returns information such as redirecting URL to the browser running on the mobile terminal 2. As an example, message M2 can comprise the following data:
The message M2 will be analysed by the search engine 10, causing a redirection message to infoprovider6a.com to be returned to the terminal 2.
Data are then transmitted to the terminal 2 under control of the information provider 6 a corresponding to the selected URL in response to the re-directed access request transmitted from the search engine 10 at step S5.11. It is to be noted that the data can be modified and/or selected based on the capabilities of the terminal 2, these being requested from the terminal 2 or derivable by the information source 6 a on the basis of information held by the search engine 10 (e.g. based on the information transmitted from the terminal at steps S5.1 or S5.9).
Whilst this is shown in
The account updating software component 307 accesses the search database 20 on the basis of account identifier retrieved from message M2, and at step S5.15 indicates that data have been accessed from this information provider 6 a.
In one arrangement step S5.9 can additionally involve the mobile terminal 2 transmitting a further message M3 to the search engine 10, which includes data identifying the cost of accessing data from the information provider 6 a (as identified by the results processing software component 415 at step S5.7). The message can include data identifying the subscriber associated with the terminal 2 (preferably encrypted); these identifying data preferably correspond to those data sent at step S5.1 and can include the International Mobile Subscription Identifier (IMSI), Mobile Station ISDN Number (MSISDN), International Mobile Equipment Identifier (IMEI), memory configuration, software configuration, browser type and other identifiers available from the SIM 419 or the terminal 2 or a database in the terminal 2. In response to receipt of message M3 the account updating software component 307 can then update the account balance to account for the transport costs associated with delivering the content to the terminal 2. In such arrangements—those in which the transport costs are accounted for in real time—the search engine 10 can then send a message M4 to the billing system 16 associated with the mobile network portion 14 shown in
In a particularly advantageous arrangement these data are transmitted to the billing system at the same time as, or before, the request for content is transmitted to the information provider 6 a at step S5.11, thereby ensuring that the subscriber's balance is "topped up" to include the subsidised costs or to ensure that data connection is allowed.
As an alternative to the mobile terminal 2 transmitting the evaluated transport costs to the search engine 10 at step S5.9, the account updating software component 307 can independently evaluate the transport costs on the basis of whichever data plan is associated with the network operator of the mobile terminal 2, this having been sourced from the various network operators by virtue of an agreement between the network operator and the search provider. In such arrangements the message M3 would simply include data identifying the subscriber of the mobile terminal 2 so that the account updating software component 307 can identify the transport costs applicable to delivery of data to this subscriber.
In the above embodiments the mobile terminal 2 is described as sending queries for web pages and documents accessible via the web relating to keywords of interest to the user, and there being a search engine 10 arranged to broker, coordinate and account for user access to such content. However, embodiments of the invention could also be applied to arrangements such as that shown in
Thus this embodiment of the invention involves the mobile terminal 2 including an application with a user interface that displays data accessible from a specified web site to the user and enables the user to select therefrom. Alternatively the browser or application running on the terminal 2 can be configured so as to automatically request specific types of objects and elements; such a request can be formulated on the basis of selection rules stored by the terminal 2, these rules specifying object size (including resolution in the case of images and file size in relation to file types generally), delivery costs, data plan associated with the terminal 2 etc.
As an alternative, the mobile terminal 2 could be equipped with an application that enables the user to enter data indicative of a web site for which transport costs etc. associated with links accessible via the web site are required (i.e. those links for which clicking on the link would lead to the transmission of further data to the mobile terminal); in such arrangements the content of the web site corresponding to the URL entered by the user is downloaded to the mobile terminal, and then forwarded from the mobile terminal to the service 12. This process flow is illustrated in
The embodiments described in relation to
The requests submitted at step S5.1 can be submitted from a terminal other than the one to which the search results are to be delivered; for example, requests could be submitted as part of an automated process, which includes, as one of the input fields, an identifier corresponding to the terminal 2 destined to receive the search results. In addition, search requests could be typed in or entered via speech recognition software.
Each record Ri in the search database 20 corresponding to an information provider can additionally comprise a field relating to an account balance for the information provider. The balance is quantified in terms of resources, which can be money or usage of different types of communications services. The latter type of resource are particularly convenient for embodiments of the invention, since communications resources could be directly traded rather than being translated into and out of financial amounts.
Whilst in the above embodiment the results message M1 is delivered directly to the mobile terminal 2, the search results could alternatively be transmitted to a search results service, for further processing of the results or delivery thereof to the mobile device.
The term "sponsored link" is to be understood as subsidizing access to content associated with any of the links listed in the message M1.
By way of clarification, the term "non-sponsored link" is to be understood as including (but not limited to) a link to a network location associated with an information source whose presence in a list of results is defined purely on the relevance of the content of the data items associated with the web page to the request and is unrelated to any subsidy that might be applied to effect delivery thereof.
Additionally, when the terminal 2 requests data from a service such as information provider 6 a, the browser or application 415 running on the terminal 2 can be configured to request associated ranking and other related information e.g. nested links associated with the information provider 6 a from the service 12. The information from service 12 can be used by an application or browser in the terminal 2 to inform the user about certain characteristics of links via the user interface. The requested information can include rating information, mobile friendliness, feasibility of the content behind the link for the target terminal, size of the content, price of the delivery etc., and this information enables the user to decide whether or not to access data from the information provider 6 a. The user interface can block or hide some of the links on the basis of predefined screening rules held by the mobile terminal 2. These screening rules can include rules relating to e.g. feasibility of accessing a link and content type and can be manually configured by the user of the terminal or automatically set by other authorised users such as parents or employers. Such screening rules can be automatically set on the basis of information uploaded to the service 12 by the authorised users, and then downloaded to the mobile terminal 2 for use in controlling access thereto.
The above embodiments are to be understood as illustrative examples of the invention. It is to be understood that any feature described in relation to any one embodiment may be used alone, or in combination with other features described, and may also be used in combination with one or more features of any other of the embodiments, or any combination of any other of the embodiments. Furthermore, equivalents and modifications not described above may also be employed without departing from the scope of the invention, which is defined in the accompanying claims.

40 year old man | Stone Mountain, GA, USA | Seeking women 25-39 within 20 miles
Good times are out there, sharing them with someone special makes them unforgettable.
I'm a fun, easygoing guy with striking blue eyes. I love playing outdoors, especially in the dirt and water, but I cleanup nicely for an entertaining night out. I love to make people smile and laugh, let's have some fun together! Im a wheel junkie, I love bicycles, roller blades or skates, go-carts, lawn mowers, scooters, grocery store scooters, grandma's scooter, soapbox derby cars, street luge, and motorcycles. I ride and occasionally race motocross, my fully suspended mountain bike is a lot of fun, especially when its blitzing downhill through the trees. I'm a believer that anything with wheels and a motor, needs a bigger motor. I love the water and all things that float on the water, but oddly enough I prefer my water vessels to be propelled be pedals, paddles, or wind. I love comedy, cracking jokes in a pub, or at grandma's dinner table from the seat of her awesome scooter, doing ridiculous impersonations, pitching in at improv clubs, or just hanging out one-on-one and being the entertainer. I believe it is possible to laugh your pants off, if you dont believe me, then you must be hiding a hemorrhoid, or just laughed one out. Sorry, that was gross. Ummm... What else?.... I'm not a rich man, but I am a rock solid, reliable, loyal, dependable, handy, smart, clever, man. I enjoy my job, Im good it and a lot of other things, there is no ceiling on what I am capable of. I just want someone to enjoy the journey with...
Camping , Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Gardening/Landscaping , Movies/Videos , Playing sports , Watching sports
Auto racing / Motorcross, Cycling, Football, Swimming, Tennis / Racquet sports, VolleyBall, Walking / Hiking
I exercise 1-2 times per week.
I have Cats, Dogs
I love my dog and my cats. They are awesome, they have personality and they love people. Their breed names do not start with "hairless" , nor do they end in "poo". So, sorry allergenics, I would never give them up for anyone.
My firepit... That sucker is scorching!
Making my friends and family laugh, making random people in random pubs laugh, quoting movies, speaking in accents, bicycles, motorcycles, ping-pong, darts, swimming holes, and farting in elevators... jk

GOSHEN – Six seconds, two tips and 61 yards ended North Oldham's dream season Friday night in the most brutal way imaginable.
The Mustangs had just taken a 24-21 lead against Owensboro in the final seconds of a KHSAA Class 4-A semifinal after Jackson Wine hit a field goal.
North was six seconds away from its first trip to the state title game, needing only to prevent a Red Devils touchdown.
North Oldham tallied 680 points to take a six-team swim meet Tuesday night in Shelbyville.
South Oldham won the boys meet with 284 points. Next came runner-up North (276), third-place Collins (238) and fourth-place Oldham County (157).
North tallied 404 points to take the girls meet. Following the Lady Mustangs were South (217), Collins (188) and OC (175).
Shelby County and Spencer County also competed at the meet.
County champions included:
There are four teams left in the KHSAA Class 4-A state playoffs.
Three of those schools, Highlands, Lexington Catholic and Owensboro, have combined for 26 state titles.
Meanwhile the fourth program, North Oldham, has reached the state semifinals for the first time in its 12-season history.
The Mustangs have announced their presence on the state's stage with a 10-2 season that's seen them win their games by an average score of 41-8.
Juniors Collin Portman and John Reitnauer have each been competing for North Oldham since they were middle schoolers, starting their varsity wrestling careers as eighth-graders.
This season the pair has made their mark on the gridiron for the Mustangs.
Portman, a defensive end, has a team-high 105 tackles for North (10-2), which hosts Owensboro at 7 p.m. Friday in a KHSAA Class 4-A state semifinal.
North Oldham
North Oldham must replace one of its best wrestlers in school history, Mitch Rusch.
Rusch finished third last season in the 160-pound class at the KHSAA state wrestling championships in Lexington.
He graduated in June and is now wrestling at St. Catharine College.
"That's definitely a big loss," coach Tony Zeppa said. "He'd been with the program for six years… and was a six-time state qualifier.

–Girls 200-free, Kate Tarvestad
–Girls 100-free, Kate Tarvestad
–Boys 200-free relay, Yoni Smolyar, Danny Walker, August Kingsley, Mark Scherer
There's no overwhelming favorite among District 29's four girls basketball teams this year.
North Oldham hasn't previously factored into the race but has built around a veteran core.
Oldham County, defending district champ, returns three starters but must replace Ashley McMurtrey, the second leading scorer in program history.
South Oldham, after not winning the district last year for the first time since 2007-08 has rebooted the program with new coach Jessica Conner.
Oldham County has a deep, talented, veteran roster and the expectations that come along with that.
OC was picked as the top team in Region 8 in this year's edition of the annual Cats Pause region preview.
The Colonels, led by senior guards Hayden Hawes and Connor Hicks, lead an OC team that won the District 29 Tournament last season but bowed out to Simon Kenton in the Region 8 Tournament.
Two-time defending region champ South Oldham was picked seventh after having to replace almost all of its varsity roster.

Meet The Demoman
By Sweep 23 Comments
Now that I've lured you into my blog with this wonderfully misleading title
I should probably explain what i'm talking about. (Not Team Fortress 2. Sorry)
Demo's on Xbox live!! Mwahahahahahahahaha!
Here are some impressions:
Section 8In short, it's a cross between Battlefield and Halo. You get to spawn anywhere you chose by being plummeted into the warzone via your spaceship - Medal Of Honour Airborne style. Enemy bases can construct AA guns to stop you from blasting straight into their camp like Rambo and causing a big mess. There is a fully customizable class system which gives you different weapons and attributes. Death and Destruction gets you bones which you can spend on Ammo crates, Vehicles, defensive turrets and Giant armoured suits - Melee someone with one of these badboys and you pick them up and punch them into the horizon. Players can also initiate random objectives in the match, like spawning a convoy. If you protect the convoy for long enough your team gets a nice bonus.
There's a few nice features that work really well - The run ability, if used for 3 seconds without interruption gives you a long burst of superspeed which means you can skip across the entire map in a few seconds. This means, should everyone below you have died before you hit the ground, you can quickly bounce back to the frontlines. There is a nice Lock On system which means if you iron-sight someone you can lock for a few seconds to prevent them from jetpacking straight out of sight. In a game with such versatile movement options, the ability to lock works really well.
One minor issue I have is the amount of health and shields each player has. Maybe it's just because i'm used to dropping fools with one or two well placed shots in Battlefield and Cod 4, but there seems to be a lot of people running around each other in circles waiting for shields to die down. There is also the option to equip your player with a repair unit which can be used to quickly heal yourself - meaning its fairly painless to nip out of sight and boost yourself back to full. Needless to say, I still killed a fair amount of punks, so perhaps this is not a big as issue as I'm making out...
Anyways. Perhaps it's because I wasn't expecting much from this game that I'm so pleasantly surprised.
Batman: Arkham AsylumWhich fucking architect put all these damn gargoyles in this fucking prison?
I MAED A GAM3 W1TH ZOMB1ES 1N IT!!!1Yes, that really is what it's called. It's an indie game, can be found on XBLM for a very reasonable price of just 80ms points. There's avatar clothing worth more than that for fucks sake. Anyway, this game is a cross between Serious Sam and Geometry Wars. With Zombies. Its a top-down dual-joystick shooter. You get a nice selection of weapons with which to shoot an interesting array of zombies - including those strapped with explosives - and for some reason cube snakes? The design is crisp and sharp, nice looking characters and great backgrounds that warp and flow fluently with the song playing in the background. It's worth downloading the trial just for the ridiculous background music.
DiRT 2Apparently there's some sort of complicated politics going on with this game and it's DLC - of which I am blissfully unaware, as it means I can enjoy this stunning Rally game unabashed. Visually stupendous, nice gritty steering with rumbles in all the right places, and a surprisingly addictive soundtrack that actually made me go out and refresh my iTunes library. Big numbers worth mentioning:
- Kram - Good Love
- Tommy Sparks - I'm a rope (Yuksek Remix)
- MSTRKRFT - Work On You (Para Remix)
- I completed shadow complex. Huzzah!
- My brother got a DS with Pokemon Pearl so I finally got my Magmortar.
- Notting hill Carnival this weekend! WOOP!
- Mass Effect avatar clothing - all the Mass Effect fanboys who mocked me for buying COG armour are now faced with the difficult decision of whether or not to buy N7 armour. I'm looking at you End_Boss.
Thanks For Reading
Love Sweep

Michigan QB Gutierrez transferring to Idaho St.
Updated: January 8, 2006, 7:56 PM ETAssociated Press
ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Michigan's No. 2 quarterback, Matt Gutierrez, says he is leaving the Wolverines and will play for Idaho State in the fall.
Gutierrez, who has one year of college eligibility remaining, declined to say whether he was promised the starting job for the Division I-AA Bengals but said he was certain he would never supplant Chad Henne as Michigan's top quarterback.
"I feel like in my four years [at Michigan], I've done

Editor's note: The temperature gauge is a Bill James-created statistic that measures how hot or cold hitters are. We will spotlight Red Sox and opposing team temperatures on game days. Adrian Gonzalez went 1-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored in Friday's 6-5 loss to the Twins, and remains the Red Sox' hottest hitter entering Game 3 of their series against the Twins on Saturday. Over his last seven contests, Gonzalez is hitting .480 with a 1.232 OPS, though the Sox are just 4-3 in that span. Aside from Gonzalez, there aren't too many hot hitters in the Red...
