Handmade from copper and enamel. The peridot green looks incredible when it catches the light. Saba Jewellery always comes gift-packaged and there are plenty of quirky designs to choose from whether you are buying for yourself or for someone else, whether you are an animal-lover or a lover of colour, wanting an eye-catching piece that is a conversation-starter is essential! made from: I used vitreous enamel on the copper hare and tortoise along with glass beads, and fired them in a kiln at approximately 800 degrees, twice. The green is a gorgeous bright peridot with the copper showing through to give a very glassy effect. The white is completely opaque and very graphic. Hares are such wonderful creatures, and I love Aesop's Fables which is where the inspiration for this piece came from. The chain is also copper, and treated so that it doesn't leave a mark, and it is adjustable in length as the catch goes into any part of the chain. It is about 45cms (18") at its longest but can be longer if necessary. Just send me an email. The bead on the back is vintage glass and is 10mm in diameter. Each enamelled piece is unique: they are all made by hand so even though I repeat my designs, each one will look ever so slightly different from the next because of the enamelling process. Their uniqueness is one of their selling points. Each piece in my enamel range has been fired in a kiln between two and four times.It should be kept in its box when not being worn as enamel is glass fused to metal so if it is bent or dropped on a hard surface it may chip. dimensions: As for size, the hare is appoximately 6cms, the tortoise 3cms and they sit really nicely on the neck. product code: 237103 This product is dispatched to you by Saba Jewellery.

Originally written on Ted's Army | Last updated 6/20/13
Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here... highlighting the big storyline. Because there's nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump. Like clockwork each season, one starter regularly takes his turn in the rotation when the offense takes the night off, and no matter how well, or average, that pitcher performs, it's not enough. That's Ryan Dempster's fate this year with the Red Sox. Last night was further proof. Dempster spread out eight hits and three runs over his six innings while he waited for the offense to come to life — and that never happened. Herald: No offense, but bats need to help Dempster Call it tough luck, call it bad offense but whatever it is just don't call it fair. Last night was his fifth straight quality start and all he has to show for it is a 2-3 stretch. If you look at the entire season, that was Dempster's eighth start in which he received two or fewer runs of support. He's also pitched in seven of the Sox 15 home losses, and he only received 18 runs of support in those losses. With Lester struggling and Buchholz hurt, we're relying on Dempster to give us quality starts and he's been doing exactly that. If the offense could just pick up the pace a bit, his record might be more indicative to how he's pitched. Rest of the Links: Globe: Sox can't keep up | Lots of innings, not much luck for Dempster | Remy to return to play by play booth | Herald: Rays deny sweep | Sox no closer to solution | Catcher gets better with experience | No offense, but bats need to help Dempster | Jerry Remy will be in booth next week | CSNNE: Rays escape Fenway with one | Third game in two days for Salty | WEEI: Sox offense continues to struggle | Sox sign first-rounder Ball for $2.75 million

WASHINGTON — Having watched several promising campaigns collapse in 2012 after candidates made catastrophic mistakes, national Republican leaders are leaving nothing to chance as they prepare for this year's midterm elections.
They're summoning contenders — especially those who seem inexperienced, unpredictable or inclined to provocative opinions — to first-of-a-kind training at the GOP's Senate campaign headquarters to learn, in part, what not to say and how not to say it.
It's a delicate intervention but one deemed essential by officials smarting from campaign debacles that cost the GOP winnable races last time, including Senate seats in Missouri and Indiana.
"Hopefully, everyone has paid attention to the huge blunders that were made," said Ari Fleischer, former top aide to President George W. Bush who helped draft a post-election analysis for the Republican National Committee after the 2012 campaign. "You can't buy enough ads to cover up a candidate who is flawed."
The two-day sessions, which feature top experts in communications and public policy, have brought in more than a dozen Senate and about 50 House candidates. The GOP's hopes for winning a Senate majority this year depend on picking up six seats, some by candidates who are less seasoned.
In addition to the policy briefings and campaign advice that both parties have long offered, the candidates are counseled specifically on navigating trouble-prone issues related to women.
The Democratic Party and progressive groups also hold campaign boot camps for Democratic candidates, who have had their own problems.

Stephen Curry would love to play in Charlotte someday
Sep 30, 2011, 5:09 PM EDT
Stephen Curry grew up in Charlotte, played his high school ball there, played his college ball at Davidson in the city — he loves it in North Carolina.
And if the chance to play professional ball for the Bobcats ever came up, Curry told the Charlotte Observer he'd be interested. Even if he does use a double negative in talking about it.
"Of course I'd like to play here – it's home and I know a lot of people. But that doesn't mean I'm trying to get out of Golden State," Curry said Thursday in a wide-ranging interview with the Observer.
"There's no reason I would not want to play in Charlotte. Maybe the pressure of being around family all the time would affect some people, but I wouldn't be opposed to any of that."
Curry has been busy this summer, he got married, rehabbing his ankle and now is back at Davidson taking a few classes to finish up getting his degree. I get how he loves Charlotte and lives there. I know he said he's not looking to leave the Bay Area. But I hope he gets how Golden State could be an awesome spot to be right now.
While the labor talks are trying to give smaller markets like Charlotte a chance, Golden State is in a great position to leap forward under its new owners under any labor deal. The team is in a large and wealthy market, it has a loyal fan base and it has owners apparently willing to spend to win. Those owners are trying to change the culture of the Warriors, which is where you have to start. No doubt Michael Jordan wants to win in Charlotte, but both the market and his finances will not allow him to spend like Golden State potentially could. And there is a nice core of players to start with in Golden State (starting with Curry himself).
Then again, I know Paul Silas can coach. I've got questions about Mark Jackson. Still, Golden State should be a franchise on the rise. Should. We will see

He's the only player in the league who actually WANTS to play in Charlotte.
- burm61 - Sep 30, 2011 at 11:50 PM
He would make the defense worse and have more missed shots added to a terrible team. But sell tickets which is what its all about.

The TelefériQo (from teleférico and Quito), or TelefériQo Cruz Loma, is a gondola lift in Quito, Ecuador, running from the edge of the city centre up the east side of Pichincha Volcano to lookout Cruz Loma. It is one of the highest aerial lifts in the world, rising from 3,117 m (10,226 ft) to 3,945 m (12,943 ft).[1] The ascent takes about eight minutes, traveling 2237 linear metres.[1]
The TelefériQo opened in July 2005, and is a tourist attraction. At the summit there are restaurants, coffee bars and stores. There are hiking trails with points where pictures can be taken of Quito. Due to the increased altitude and the wind on the mountain it is cooler than the city and is susceptible to fog, especially in the mornings.
The visitor centre at the base includes the VulQano Park amusement park, restaurants and food court, and other attractions.[2]

Civilization 5's Mod Tools Are Out On Steam Now
by Brad Nicholson on
Now you can have that nuke-only match you've always wanted!
In addition to pushing out the tools necessary to muck with the game, 2K has set up a detailed wiki about mods and modding and has also busted out some information on what can be done in this latest Civ as compared to others. For example, you can now combine mods with a cute "enable" button that scans to see if two or more mods can be mixed together. This wasn't possible in Civilization IV, so expect to have an easier time mixing and matching mods this go-around.
As you'll notice in the wiki text, there's one big thing missing from this release: the ability to use mods online. "Multiplayer and modding is something we wanted to take extra time on in order to ensure a stable and fun experience," 2K has written in the wiki.
More support will be coming in the future. 2K has said that it is aware that some stuff isn't working as well as it could, while other things aren't as "extensible" as they could be. Upcoming patches will, however, address all issues.
Don't know what Civ 5 is all about? Check out this Quick Look:

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., says Goodbye to Dexter Avenue Baptist ChurchMartin Luther King, Jr., Autograph Notecards (8) Containing Notes for a Speech, circa December 1959. Each of the eight cards measures 6" x 4" and contains talking points for a speech which Dr. King gave to his congregation at Dexter Avenue Baptist Church, accomplished entirely in his hand.
After six years as pastor of the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., was ready to say goodbye. His success with the Montgomery Bus Boycott (which he spearheaded from his church office in the basement) helped to solidify his decision to move to Atlanta, his hometown, to head the Southern Christian Leadership Conference full-time. In addition, he agreed to take a position as co-pastor of the Ebenezer Baptist Church with his father. The time had come to talk to his congregation.
In preparation, Dr. King made out these notecards to gather his thoughts. He decided to begin by talking about the bus boycott and how for the last four years he has done the work of five men. In addition to pastoring the church, he has been president of the Montgomery Improvement Society (thus his involvement in the boycott), president of the SCLC (which entailed, in his words, endless amounts of work), he constantly traveled the country for speaking engagements, he was responsible for daily activities of the church such as answering mail, and the stress of being a national figure.
Wearing so many hats has begun to take its toll, according to King. He began to feel frustrated that he was doing too many jobs and none of them well. The MIA and SCLC were suffering and could be farther along but for lack of time. His creativeness as a speaker and preacher was lacking. As he puts it, when one man tries to do too much at one time, he makes a mess of everything. He was in desperate need of a change as his physical and emotional well-being were in jeopardy.
Dr. King had more than a dozen job offers over the years, but his responsibility to his congregation and the MIA always led him to decline. More recently, however, the pull of the SCLC and Ebenezer Baptist Church were leading him home toward Atlanta, though he expresses his wish that he could have done more for the church before leaving.
Following his move to Atlanta in early 1960, King, already a national figure in the civil rights movement, focused his efforts on desegregation, black voting rights, and labor rights and was the impetus behind events such as the March on Washington in 1963 and the Selma to Montgomery marches in 1965, leading to such legislation as the 1964 Civil Rights Act and the 1965 Voting Rights Act.
Each card shows light toning, some of which have spots of foxing mostly confined to the edges.

Open Letter to All Supporters of MAPA
RE: Closure of the Maitland Academy
Dear Students and Families,
As of Wednesday March 18th, MAPA will cease all classes and operations. The recent loss of the building space in Altamonte Springs, the move to the temporary space at the Congregation of Reformed Judaism, and the associated loss of students since the move have proven to be too much of a financial hardship. The decision has been made to close the Maitland Academy of the Performing Arts rather than incur additional financial debt.
MAPA has been home to some of the most dedicated teachers and families in the metro-Orlando area. However, the modest tuition and the small student population that make the school special have also produced a deficit. Up to this point, it has been possible to offset this deficit with fund-raisers, group classes and donations. But we have been unable to acquire additional students or donations to make up the financial short-fall for several months, and have reached a point where the cost to stay open is too much to bear. Every effort will be made over the next few weeks to make refunds available to those families who will not receive all of their prepaid lessons in the month of March. Please be patient as we work out the details for those refunds.
We realize that you may have many questions about the decision. You will still be able to reach the MAPA staff at (407) 370-4909, and your requests for information or conversations will be addressed as quickly as possible.
We encourage all students to make direct contact with their private lesson instructors, and make arrangements to continue lessons with them at alternate locations. It is our intent to reform the Maitland Academy for the Performing Arts in the future. We are in active conversations with the City of Maitland regarding financial support and a new school location. No timetable is in place yet, but we will keep you informed of any developments.
We hope that you will continue in your pursuit of the performing arts, and we hope to see you again when MAPA is able to reopen.
With Our Regrets,
The Board of Directors, MAPA

UT Law Students Form Environmental Moot Court Team, Win Best Oralist Award
Over the February 22-23 weekend, UT Law students competed at the National Environmental Law Moot Court Competition hosted by Pace University School of Law in White Plains, New York. The team, composed of three 2Ls – Lindsay Dofelmier (the Energy Center's summer 2013 intern), David Fisher (the inaugural Energy Center Fellow), and Nora Gay – were the first ever from UT Law to compete in the competition, which drew nearly 80 teams from law schools around the country.
Coached by UT Law Professors Natalia Blinkova and David Nix, the team represented fictional parties Jacques Bonhomme, Shifty Maleau, and the State of Progress in a Clean Water Act case, which required them to prepare arguments for each party on issues ranging the scope of the Act's citizen suit provision to the determination of point sources and navigable waters. The team prepared a brief on behalf of Mr. Bonhomme in November 2013, and represented all three parties in oral arguments throughout the competition. They were awarded three "Best Oralist" awards between them at the competition.
"It has been a great opportunity to improve our oral advocacy and brief-writing skills," said team member David Fisher. "And we learned quite a lot about the Clean Water Act along the way." The three team members hope to compete again in the competition next year, aided by their faculty coaches.

Vehicle positioning systems are composed of positioning sensors and positioning algorithms. Positioning sensors provide direct or indirect position, velocity, attitude and timing information. Positioning algorithms transfer sensor direct readings to desired positioning information. Positioning sensors are classified into absolute sensors and dead reckoning sensors (Sukkarieh, 2000). Absolute sensors directly provide the relationships between vehicle position and external positioning references. Dead reckoning sensors measure the vehicles position and orientation increment to its last moment without external references. Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) is a widely used absolute positioning system using external satellite references. Inertial Navigation System (INS) is an example of dead reckoning positioning system. INS uses inertial measurement unit (IMU) to measure the self-contained position changing rate, then computes the desired positioning information. INS has been employed in navigation for rockets, missiles, aircrafts, land vehicles, ocean vessels and robots

As the result of recent advent and rapid growth of the Internet, there have been an increasing number of corporations relying on computers and networks for communications and critical business transactions. Because of the network complexity and advanced hacking techniques, such reliance on computer networks often presents unanticipated risks and vulnerabilities. A huge volume of attacks on major sites and networks have been recently reported including those of private companies, government agencies and even military classified networks. Therefore, it is important to deploy protection measures for networks and their services from unauthorized modification, destruction, or disclosure of sensitive information. Intrusion detection systems (IDS) have emerged as an important part of todays network security infrastructure which can monitor the network traffic and detect possible attacks. Currently existing IDS suffer from low detection accuracy and system robustness for new and rare security breaches.

This paper presented an economic model for productivity of software corrective maintenance. The productivity is modeled using economic value of the maintenance process as the output, and the pre-committed fixed cost and variable cost as input. The relationship of the economic value and these cost components are modeled using analytical theory of investment. The values of corrective maintenance process are analyzed. A simulation approach is demonstrated to analyze the influences to the productivity in corrective maintenance. This approach provided a tool to identify and analyze the optimal parameters in productivity using the economic model and simulation.

The mainstream approach to software development productivity has been on identifying factors of impacting on software development productivity and the static relations between the impact factors and performance. This paper presents a dynamic relationship based on economic theory. The findings provide practitioners with insight into how these factors interact and impact on project productivity. Through simulation based on the Analytical Theory of Project Investment, we have demonstrated the dynamic relationship between project duration, the uncertainty level of the perceived project value and the fixed project upfront cost.

Zero velocity update (ZUPT) is an effective way to correct low cost inertial measurement unit (IMU) errors when it is foot-mounted for pedestrian navigation. The stance phase in steps provides zero velocity measurement for inertial sensor error correction. As the errors of IMU estimated position and velocity grow rapidly with time between each correction, ZUPT applied at each step leads to sharp corrections and discontinuities in the estimated trajectory. For motion analysis and visualization, these large corrections are undesirable. Consequently, the implementation of smoothing for ZUPT-aided INS is considered to eliminate the sharp corrections. In this paper, we propose a closed loop Rauch-Tung-Striebel (RTS) smoother using a 24 error states extended Kalman filter (EKF) implement on our previous pedestrian navigation systems. Unlike common RTS smoother which operates as off-line processing mode, a near-real-time stepwise smoother is implemented to eliminate the sharp corrections over the steps. The impact of the near real-time smoothing filter for different step manners (walk, run and climb stairs) combined with the Constant Velocity Update (CUPT) concept we proposed previously is illustrated and analysed. Experimental results show that the proposed method can dramatically improve pedestrian navigation smoothness.

Wireless sensor networks (WSN) are extensively applied in civil and military areas. Localization is an essential prerequisite for many WSN applications, and is often based on beacons that provide geographical information in real time. Mobile Beacons (MB) can be used to replace many static beacons with paths that can be controlled in real-time. Robotic and/or flight vehicles can work as MBs. In this paper we consider the use of reinforcement learning (RL) (a significant branch of machine learning) to control MBs. Usually, RL needs an infinite series of episodes to determine an optimal policy. We propose however a method of localization employing mobile beacon whose behavior will be controlled by an adapted RL algorithm. A MB learns and makes decisions based on weighted information collected from unknown sensors. Simulation results show that the adapted RL algorithm provides sufficient information to the MB to localise unknown sensors in a lightweight but effective way

Information infrastructure for healthcare is undergoing a transformational shift in the way it is perceived and used by health professionals. This is driven by the need to unify patient records seamlessly, and integrate emerging technologies in the Sensor-Actor Network (SANET) realm that incorporate patient sensory systems such as wireless sensor networks and body-area networks. By harnessing The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF), it ensures integrity is considered throughout development processes by analyzing the problem space and scenarios, constraints, requirements, risks, enablers and inhibitors of the legacy application architectures. The proposed architecture with TOGAF components incorporating SANETs addresses the need to harmonize legacy operations in a consistent manner with industry best practice to ensure universal patient records are comprehensive and secure, thus protecting against identity theft and adhering to privacy regulation compliance.

Sensor data with geographical information become ubiquitous with development of location base applications in various businesses. There is no exception to Wireless sensor network (WSN) as it is getting more practical under the booming of semiconductor industry. Localization of WSN usually depends on beacons that equip with GPS or GSM module. The cost of finance and energy hamper the application of WSN. Robot or flight vehicle called Mobile Beacon (MB) can relieve the issue and enhance the application area of WSN. Based on the framework we proposed in [14], we renovate the algorithm to find the best position for MB in every step by grouping weight of cosine similarity to mining the relation between responsible sensors. The MB machine works in an autonomous mode to find dynamic path without any supervision. In simulation, it is proved that the novel method makes the best of observation and covers unknown sensors as many as possible without heavy computation and struggle of energy. With appropriate parameters, the method can reach a 90% average coverage rate on any random distribution of sensors.

Localization is one of the basic prerequisites of sensors in various applications of wireless sensor networks. A beacon is a special sensor with geographical knowledge and which can be employed to help localize general sensors. A mobile beacon is treated as a replacement for many static beacons since it is movable and flexible and often powerful. The path of a mobile beacon will determine the rate of coverage and accuracy of position determination that it supports. Whereas a static path is planned before any localization action, a dynamic path is determined in real-time based on the demands of initially unknown sensors and hence can be more efficient than a static path. In this paper, we proposed a method of localization employed a mobile beacon whose path will be selected according to the real-time information of unknown sensors. The method is designed to be both thrifty in both energy consumption and economical cost, and lightweight in terms of computation load. Simulation results show that the method is lightweight but effective and efficient.

A new modeling approach to analyze the impact of schedule pressure on the economic effectiveness of agile maintenance process is presented in this paper. Based on a causal loop diagram the authors developed earlier and the analytical theory of project investment, this paper analyzed the effect of schedule pressure on the economic effectiveness. Preliminary results show that maintenance effectiveness is low when schedule pressure is high, and is high when schedule pressure is low.

Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) provide positioning service to civil applications. At the end user's side, these positioning services will have different position accuracy levels when satellite signal configurations and receiver noise levels are different. In this paper, a position error modeling is presented using a black-box approach. Using this approach, end users will treat the entire signal biases and receiver noises as a black-box transfer function. No efforts are made to model many different individual error sources of satellite signals and receivers. Further, a different type of sensor is chosen to aid the error de-correlation. Experimental results in different configurations are presented.

Although DGPS provides positioning information with high precision, when DGPS is unavailable in some situations, stand-alone GPS has to be used in vehicle navigation. The accuracy of standard GPS is low due to position measurement errors. This paper presents a frequency domain modeling approach to model GPS errors and increase GPS positioning accuracy. This approach models GPS errors using shaping filter. External sensors are employed to reduce GPS errors. This paper also presents an approach to select external sensors to meet the quality requirements of positioning system.

Existing design methods used for developing webcentric systems are mostly adapted from methods for designing traditional software systems. Web-centric systems however differ from traditional software systems, in terms of both organizational and technical characteristics. Effective design methods for webcentric systems need to address these characteristics specific to web-centric systems. This paper proposes a design method for web-centric systems. The de-sign process comprises three steps: prototyping, information modeling and sys-tem architecture design. The method is differentiated from existing design methods in that the design process commences from user interface prototyping. Information modeling activities are further enhanced in this method. To cope with the complexity of web systems, each design step is partitioned into both structural modeling and behavioral modeling. The design method is illustrated by applying the method to the design of a commercial web application.

Web applications have rapidly become critical to the interaction that organisations have with their external stakeholders. A major factor in the effectiveness of this interaction is the ease with which users can locate information and functionality which they are seeking. Effective design is however complicated by the multiple purposes and users which Web applications typically support. In our earlier work we described a model for evaluating the overall navigation entropy of a Web application which provides a measure of the weighted effort required of users. In this paper we describe a navigational design method aimed at minimizing this navigational entropy. The approach uses a theoretical navigational depth for the various information and service components to moderate a nested hierarchical clustering of the content.

Web applications have rapidly become critical to the interaction that organisations have with their external stakeholders. A major factor in the effectiveness of this interaction is the ease with which navigation within the application can occur, and especially the extent to which users can locate information and functionality which they are seeking. Effective design is however complicated by the multiple purposes and users which Web applications typically support. Despite the fact that this implies that navigation design is inherently an optimisation problem, few optimisation techniques have been applied in this domain - with most design techniques being based on intuition, general heuristics, or experimental refinement. In this paper we discuss this problem, and propose a navigation representation which can become the basis for optimisation techniques.

Identifying impact factors on software development productivity and the static relations between the impact factors and performance has been the main focus in the literature. Insight into the dynamic relation between key factors and performance dimensions would expand and complement the conventional wisdom on software development productivity. This is the first study to present such dynamic relationship based on an Analytical Theory of Project Investment. Through simulation, we have demonstrated the dynamic relationship between project duration, the uncertainty level of the perceived project value, the fixed project upfront cost and software development productivity. The findings provide practitioners with insight into how these factors interact and impact on software development project productivity.

Considering that the GPS carrier tracking loop is fragile in high dynamic and weak signal environments, carrier tracking loop with information aided from inertial sensors is designed in this paper. The conflicts between loop noise and dynamic stress are analyzed, which are existed in the bandwidth design of carrier tracking loop. To address this problem, the information of inertial sensors is brought to the carrier loop design, which takes advantage of the relation between relative motion and Doppler frequency shift. Simulation results indicate the inertial sensors aided tracking loop could improve the performance of anti-interference and anti-dynamic significantly.

This paper presentsa new simple mobile tracking system based on IEEE802.11 wireless signal detection, which can be used for analyzingthe movement of pedestrian traffic. Wi-Fi packets emitted by Wi-Fi enabled smartphones are received at a monitoring station and these packets contain date, time, MAC address, and other information. The packets are received at a number of stations, distributed throughout the monitoring zone, which can measure the received signal strength. Based on the location of stations and data collected at the stations, the movement of pedestrian traffic can be analyzed. This information can be used to improve the services, such as better bus schedule time and better pavement design. In addition, this paper presents a signal strength based localization method.

This paper presents a system design approach for vehicle positioning systems. Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and inertial sensors are major positioning measurements used in this approach. A number of phases are designed in this approach including: system architecture design using an estimator, GNSS error modeling, estimator low level design, simulation and experiment design, frequency domain simulation, time domain experiment, sensor selection and deployment decision making. This approach enables to model GNSS errors from end user's view point, and choose low cost inertial sensors to meet positioning system requirements using a new sensor selection criterion.

Traceability analysis is crucial to the development of web-centric systems, particularly those with frequent system changes, fine-grained evolution and maintenance, and high level of requirements uncertainty. A trace model at the level of the web system architecture is presented in this paper to address the specific challenges of developing web-centric systems. The trace model separates the concerns of different stakeholders in the web development life cycle into viewpoints; and classifies each viewpoint into structure and behaviour. Tracing relationships are presented along two dimensions: within viewpoints; and among viewpoints. Examples of tracing relationships are presented using UML. This trace model is demonstrated through its application to the design of a commercial web project using a web-design process. The design artifacts in each activity are transformed based on the artifacts tracing relationship in the trace model. The model provides mechanisms for verification of consistency, completeness and coverage within each viewpoint and the connectedness across viewpoints.

Architecture frameworks have been extensively developed and described within the literature. These frameworks typically support and guide organisations during system planning, design, building, deployment and maintenance. Their main pupose is to provide clarity to the different modelling perspectives, abstractions, and domains of consideration within system development. In dpoing so they allow improved clarity with regard to the connections between the different models, and the selection of models tht are most likely to capture salient features of the system. In this paper we present an Architectural Framework which takes into account the specific characteristics of web systems. The framework is based around a two dimensional matrix. One dimension separates the concerns of different participants of the web system into perspectives. The second dimension classifies each perspective into development abstractions: structure (what), behaviour (how), location (where) and pattern. The framework is illustrated through examples from the development of a commercial web application.

Worst decisions make the best stories. You're welcome.
I'd say I'm a haver-o-fun and a huge fan of sarcasm. I laugh loudly, and it will definitely be at your expense once in awhile. I'm pretty sure I can add some zest to someone's life and I'm really hoping to find the same. A Bay native with a brief stint in Australia, I live in the middle of the city and try to keep that balance -- not one who frequents the idiotic, yet beautiful marina, yet not totally comfortable with a guy with tighter pants than me (yet, I'll drink anywhere in the Mission - I'll just be one of the few with a 401k). Opportunity is my mantra, I love dive bars and the cheese plate at Gary Danko, I drive a truck but in 4 inch heels. I stick my foot in my mouth on a weekly basis but make up for it with my loyalty and thoughtfulness. Bonnarroo, Coachella, ACL, Outside Lands... can't live without at least one a year. Living near The Independent is awesome and dangerous. I pray to the gods of mother nature, and Tahoe is my heaven - snowboarding in the winter, boating in the summer, can't wait to have my own place up there. Is it wrong to dream of docks? I have two credentials to awesome: One from my 8th grade year book that states I won "Best Personality" and an award from Tootsie-Pop in 1993 declaring that I know how many licks it takes to get to the center of a tootsie-pop: 518. Man, the 90's were the coolest. Here's a tip from me to you: emails go a lot further than winks. And if you have a photo of yourself shirtless in the mirror with a camera phone, we probably won't get along.
Cooking , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Travel/Sightseeing , Watching sports , Wine tasting
Basketball, Billiards / Pool, Other types of exercise, Running, Skiing, Weights / Machines
I exercise 1-2 times per week.
I have Cats
She's obnoxious and borderline obese. I do not have any photos of my or anyone else's cat as a screen saver, promise.
Dolores Park when it's nice out. Well, anywhere outside when it's nice out I guess. Neighborhood bars are the best - I'll be on Divis. I head to LA, NYC, Thailand, Portugal, & China kinda on the reg.
University of the Pacific, Stockton, CA
Food: B-fast Egg Sandwiches, red wine, and peanut butter. And I would actually ingest any of these at anytime of day with any combination. I once made a Makers Mark ice cream float that was pretty amazing too.
Snowboarding plus Final Four makes March my favorite month of the year. Brunching is a standard verb...
Honestly don't have much time to read by the time I get through my extensive magazine collection. But when I do, I like to laugh or to learn.

The third Mini generation to make its appearance since the British brand became part of the BMW stable may have grown in size (again), but in dynamic terms, it still epitomises the cheeky adolescence of the truly tiny original. Besides, its underpinnings are so good that they'll soon be shared by some BMW models ... DEON SCHOEMAN drives the enticingly chuckable, and highly entertaining, base-model Mini Cooper.
Of all the modern cars drawing their inspiration from classic originals, none have been as successful as the Mini.
Under the stewardship of BMW, the quintessentially British minicar has been resurrected as a modern, trendy hatchback, while retaining at least some of the charisma and quirkiness that distinguished the pioneering Sir Alec Issigonis design from its contemporaries.
Compared to that, first Mini, the modern iteration is almost gargantuan. It's lost the impossibly efficient packaging that allowed four adults to squeeze into Sir Alec's tiny box on wheels. In fact, this latest Mini is the largest yet, even though it remains a subcompact in the modern context.
At a glance, it doesn't look dramatically different to its predecessor. It's still chunky and cheeky, with the wheels planted at each corner, while the big headlights...

BOSTON, May 7, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Today, U.S. regulators and representatives from national food production industries will meet to discuss "Improving Antimicrobial Use in Food Animal Production: Alternatives, Options and Incentives," in Washington, D.C. The National Stakeholder meeting convened by the Alliance for the Prudent Use of Antibiotics is intended to identify concrete approaches to promote judicious use of antibiotics, in order to preserve their efficacy to treat disease in humans and animals, while ensuring a safe, stable and affordable food supply. Participants will evaluate feasible alternatives to current, non-therapeutic/preventive antimicrobial use in food animal production and incentives.
Dr. Stuart B. Levy, Professor at Tufts University School of Medicine and APUA president, and Dr. Joann Lindenmayer, Associate Professor of Public Health at Tufts University, Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine, will co-chair the meeting. Participants include representatives from government, agriculture, food and animal health.
The meeting is very timely, following FDA's recent issue of three voluntary guidance documents for industry, including the finalized Guidance 209, "The Judicious Use of Medically Important Antimicrobial Drugs in Food-Producing Animals," which limits use of important antimicrobials necessary to human health to those "necessary" for safeguarding animal health. Uses of antimicrobials to promote growth or feed efficiency—as opposed to disease treatment, do not comply with judicious use principles and guidance. In addition, for the first time the FDA proposes to subject uses of these medically important drugs to authorization by a veterinarian, similar to prescription requirements in human health. The FDA guidance responds to public health calls to minimize antimicrobial resistance, resulting from the selection pressure created by inappropriate use of antibiotics in bot

The EPM 2007 Test Data Population Tool solution starter was published on CodePlex today: http://www.codeplex.com/EPMDatapop
So if you need to get some sample data loaded up for testing purposes - this is the tool for you! Documentation and source code is also posted so this will also be a good tool for learning how the PSI is used for getting data into the server.
Q & A is posted in the discussion area - but I'll repeat this one here...
Q: Is the tool supported?
A: There is no support in terms of CSS/PSS. We expect the support being a CodePlex community effort. Please note that the customization code uses standard supported web service calls available out of the box in EPM2007.
I just want to double check where the documentation for the tool can be found. I couldn't find it on the site...
Hi Hani - Sorry I misled you. Looks like no documentation. Feel free to post a discussion topic if there is some info you need.
Best regards,

Looking for a career in sports? An internship for the Walla Walla Sweets next season may be a chance to step up to the plate.
The Walla Walla baseball team is offering paid internships to aspiring sports professionals interested in learning the daily operations, according to an announcement this week.
Internships start in late May and run though mid-August, providing a chance to learn the primary areas of sports business: marketing, ticket sales, sponsorship, stadium operations, community relations and retail/merchandise sales.
The primary responsibility for interns comes on game day and to be the driving force of the stadium operations team. Jobs include stadium setup and breakdown, running on-field promotions, operating the guest services booth, working as an usher, ticket operations and more. When the team is on the road, interns will work closely with front-office staff to learn the responsibilities and daily tasks of graphic design, marketing and sponsorships.
"Our interns are critical to the success of our game-day operations," said Sweets General Manager Zachary Fraser in a prepared statement. "We rely on these individuals to help provide a positive fan experience at Borleske Stadium, as they gain experience in all areas of operating a baseball team."
The internships are paid. Interns will receive a monthly stipend, and out of town interns will have the option to be placed with a host family to help with the cost of living. For more details visit wallawallasweets.com/club/jobs .

Explore the Entrepreneurship.org Resource Center to find resources. Designed with entrepreneurs in mind, our resource center allows you to find materials to grow great ideas.
Can "boom and bust" cycles exist in the venture funding market? You bet they can. And recent data from the chemical sector is a great example of how and why.
There's stability and then there's outright growth. For healthcare business owners looking for angel funding, they'll have to accept the former and wait some more on the latter. But at least it's progress.
Popular convention has it that venture capital is the most common and popular form of startup funding. But a deeper look inside the numbers reveals that angel funders, over the long haul, are much more likely than venture capital firms to provide seed money to a new business startup.
In a venture funding climate seeking large returns, thousands of potentially successful entrepreneurial startups can't get the financing they need to make a difference in the economy and in the culture. The problem isn't a new one, but it is a damaging one.
The most promising incubators for young healthcare entrepreneurs are U.S. colleges and universities. Case in point? Wake Forest and its "Business Elevator" competition.
It's more than possible these days to raise capital in small doses, but such funding techniques mean entrepreneurs must know what these investors want to see before they write a check.
Healthcare entrepreneurs looking for a unique but effective route to financing should consider innovation parks.
These entrepreneur venture funding conferences can fill your financial coffers – but only if you're there.
When it comes to angel investors, who's wearing the wings isn't as important as what's under the halo.
Entrepreneurs can't take anything for granted – especially with the capital they need to keep their doors open and lights on. And that's where a good angel investor can help.

I just purchased my 11 RAM Hemi back in November, the Evic is showing that I am averaging 14 MPH. I have manually figured it out and I am averaging anywhere between 10.1-11.5 MPH. Is this normal? The dealer keeps telling me as I get. more miles on it that the MPG's will improve, I currently have about 3,200 miles on it now. Any help would be appreciate, Thanks!
The EVIC always reads higher then what your really getting. Well, most of the time that is. What you get in MPG's all depends on your driving habbits and road conditions.
This has seemed to be the norm for most all brands and models with fuel useage data readouts. Sometimes they seem to be dead-on, and sometimes they seem optimistically high. The later seems to be more normal. Nothing is more correct than true mileage and amount of fuel used.
my evic says im getting 10 mpg ......all im doing is city and short trips ...so i belive it haha sigh
