Mets Could Still Add Alou
According to Jon Heyman at Sports Illustrated, some Mets officials still hope to trade for Moises Alou even with Shawn Green already in the fold. An independent source of mine has verified that given Cliff Floyd's inability to stay healthy, the Mets would still like to add Alou.
Alou has spent plenty of time in his career at both outfield corner positions. He's playing right field for the Giants right now more out of necessity, as his defense can be ugly at age 40. He'll be a free agent after this season, and still mashes when he's on the field. He's hitting .292/.350/.522 this season in 247 ABs. Alou has dealt with a myriad of injuries this season, and would make a great candidate to play in the AL for the first time in his career next season. He's making $6MM this year.

It would be a great pickup for the Mets, especially since this is the last year of his contract.

[Verse 2]
Niggas gimme looks like they wanna try and thump
Thinking Ren is just a chump, in the trunk I got the punk

Some niggas rolled up and said the truce was dead
Train said fuck it, shot the nigga in the head
And it's on, all y'all niggas get to your post

I have had 2 miscarriages & went in today for an ultrasound (I am now pregnant with my 3rd). I saw a nice healthy heartbeat of 138 & expected to see a gestational age of 8 weeks, 3 days. Instead I saw one of 6 weeks, 5 days. I am kind of freaked out that something is wrong. I feel like I should be reassured by a healthy heartbeat, but I can't help but be worried. Has this happened to anyone?

No current Talk conversations about this book.
When I read Game of Thrones, I fell in love with it. I recommended it to everyone who could read.
Storm of Swords is even better.
The pacing here is faster, the stakes higher and more personal, and the writing seems effortless, as does each intricate plot turn and change in character.
The third book in 'The Song of Ice and Fire' series continues with more surprises than I thought possible. Just when I thought I knew what would happen next, the plot twisted and threw a series of curves at me.
Written from the point of view of various characters, the author is able to more fully develop his characters. None of the characters is totally good or totally evil, and thus it is hard to predict their actions. This kept my interest peaked and the pages turning. And also unlike many of the more predictable novels, Martin has no problem killing off his main characters. These facts make the story more true to life and could be a living history of the middle ages.
I would recommend this book to any fan of fantasy books. The world Martin creates is on par with that of Tolkien, and I believe he will be regarded in the same light.
Rarely have I hated an author so much for what he does to my favourite character(s) as I did Martin in A Storm of Swords. I absolutely devoured the third book of the magnificent Game of Thrones series and find it the best one till now.
Nearly every character plot is worthy of a book of its own. It really feels like you're reading five (great) books in parallel. I'm glad however I found the time to finish this book in a relatively short span of time. I don't think I would be able to capture the whole story line if I read it in chunks and bits. From time to time it was tough to remember what was going on where and who knew about what.
George Martin made me love hated characters and despise loved ones even more than Ken Follet has. I admire that in an author.
Anyhow, I found myself hoping the book would never end and sat staring at the wall for a few minutes after it did. Too bad I don't have the fourth one with me here. I'll have to wait for almost a week before I can start tearing it apart! :-(
The current king of fantasy.
G.R.R. MARTIN writes with an agility that make you imagine the scenes in their books like you were watching them in the big screen. There are many times when his narrative exceeds whatever HBO could ever show you. His mastery of narrative, English, and situations make different stories meet as one.
Could we be heading for an ultimate conflict in which both sides are wrong and the right answer is being human and choosing the excluded middle? Wouldn't that be cool if it were the case?
With the end of A Storm of Swords, Martin is half finished his epic. However, so little has been revealed that we have only begun to glimpse what the true saga really is. It's as if you are peering through a dirty window, cleaning small portions of it -- one square inch at a time -- so more and more of the room beyond is slowly revealed. Each glimpse uncovers a new wonder, but you can never be sure of exactly what you are seeing.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 055357342X, Mass Market Paperback)Is George R.R. Martin for real? Can a fantasy epic actually get better with each new installment? Fans of the genre have glumly come to expect go-nowhere sequels from other authors, so we're entitled to pinch ourselves over Martin's tightly crafted Song of Ice and Fire series. The reports are all true: this series is the real deal, and Martin deserves his crown as the rightful king of the epic. A Game of Thrones got things off to a rock-solid start, A Clash of Kings only exceeded expectations, but it's the Storm of Swords hat trick that cements Martin's rep as the most praiseworthy fantasy author to come along since that other R.R.
Like the first two books, A Storm of Swords could coast on the fundamentals: deftly detailed characters, convincing voices and dialogue, a robust back-story, and a satisfyingly unpredictable plot. But it's Martin's consistently bold choices that set the series apart. Every character is fair game for the headman's axe (sometimes literally), and not only do the good guys regularly lose out to the bad guys, you're never exactly sure who you should be cheering for in the first place.
Storm is full of admirable intricacies. Events that you thought Martin was setting up solidly for the first two books are exposed as complex feints; the field quickly narrows after the Battle of the Blackwater and once again, anything goes. Robb tries desperately to hold the North together, Jon returns from the wildling lands with a torn heart, Bran continues his quest for the three-eyed crow beyond the Wall, Catelyn struggles to save her fragile family, Arya becomes ever more wolflike in her wanderings, Daenerys comes into her own, and Joffrey's cruel rule from King's Landing continues, making even his fellow Lannisters uneasy. Martin tests all the major characters in A Storm of Swords: some fail the trial, while others--like Martin himself--seem to only get stronger. --Paul Hughes

"Of the five contenders for power, one is dead, another in disfavor, and still the wars rage as violently as ever, as alliances are made and broken. Joffrey, of House Lannister, sits on the Iron Throne, the uneasy ruler of the land of the Seven Kingdoms. His most bitter rival, Lord Stannis, stands defeated and disgraced, the victim of the jealous sorceress who holds him in her evil thrall. But young Robb, of House Stark, still rules the North from the fortress of Riverrun. Robb plots against his despised Lannister enemies, even as they hold his sister hostage at King's Landing, the seat of the Iron Throne. Meanwhile, making her way across a blood-drenched continent is the exiled queen, Daenerys, mistress of the only three dragons still left in the world. But as opposing forces maneuver for the final titanic showdown, an army of barbaric wildlings arrives from the outermost line of civilization. In their vanguard is a horde of mythical Others -- a supernatural army of the living dead whose animated corpses are unstoppable. As the future of the land hangs in the balance, no one will rest until the Seven Kingdoms have exploded in a veritable storm of swords"--Cover.… (more)

Abbas: Hamas overreached
Gaza's rulers prolonged fighting needlessly, he says
Posted: August 30, 2014 at 3:13 a.m.
RAMALLAH, West Bank -- Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas blamed Hamas on Friday for extending fighting with Israel in the Gaza Strip, casting doubt on the future of the Palestinian unity government that the Islamic militant group backs, while Israel's premier said the end of the fighting could lead to the resumption of peace talks with Abbas.

Nationals 5, Phillies 1
Updated: October 3, 2012, 7:34 PM ETAssociated Press
WASHINGTON -- Shortly after the Philadelphia Phillies' streak of nine consecutive winning seasons came to a close, they started finding scapegoats.
Philadelphia lost 5-1 to the NL East champion Washington Nationals on Wednesday to finish 81-81 and in third place, following five division titles in a row.
Didn't take long for the fallout to begin: The Phillies fired first base coach Sam Perlozzo, bench coach Pete Mackanin and hitting coach Greg Gross.
And expect more moves.

Big Idea: Meet the Inventor of the Boppy
Susan Brown, Founder & President of Boppy
In 1990, my daughter Alistair was in a daycare room for babies younger than 12 months. When I picked her up one day, there was a sign on the door asking if parents would sew pillows to stack around the babies so they could sit up when the childcare workers had their hands full. I figured if they were going to put the pillows around the kids, I should make ones that were round. So the original use was to prop up babies so they could stay alert. I didn't realize moms could use it for nursing until Boppy won an award years later as the best breastfeeding pillow.
The Idea
James Worrell
Boppy came at a good time. I'd been looking for an idea to start my own business. I had a background in marketing, but I didn't know anything then about manufacturing. In the beginning I sewed my own pillows, but I never actually sold any of those models. The first professionally manufactured Boppies were from a small cut-and-sew shop in Denver. I went through a lot of different manufacturers to finally get it right.
The first trade show I went to was a kids' fashion expo in New York City. Most of the stores scouting there were boutiques looking for clothes, but about 50 stores ordered from me. The idea caught on, and a lot of them reordered right away. Today, we sell about 50 million Boppies a year.
And Now...
The current C-shaped design is almost exactly like the original. Over time, we realized that most people put it around their waist, so we added a stretchy panel for a better fit. But it's always been pretty much the same size and weight. We know it works, so we don't try to vary it.
I never expected this success would happen, but it turned out that my very simple idea was also very useful.

This is really pretty music, I love the chord patterns. If you are a girl like me then I suggest leaving it either in the original key or a couple steps higher and singing an octave lower than what's written. The only bad thing I think is that the melody really isn't in the accompaniment all that much, but it's still very nice to sing along with.

6th episode of the art and science show i've been recording for ResonanceFM.
For this episode, i went to Battersea to interview the new graduates of RCA's Design Interactions. The department has 16 graduates this year. Each graduate is showing 1, 2 or even 3 works in the exhibition. I selected only a handful of them which i introduce briefly before letting the graduates give more details about their project.
In order of appearance: Koby Barhad will talk gene sequencing and Elvis Presley (more about that project in the coming days), Rapahel Kim is still working with rotifers but this time he designed a farm for them, Ai Hasegawa talks about the next frontier for Japanese love hotels and Angela Bracco who is from Design Products (platform 13) is of course answering my questions about If You Can Smell It It Has Mass.
The radio show broadcasts today Monday 25 June at 16.30 (GMT.) There will be a repeat on Thursday at 22.30. You can catch it online if you don't live in London. And of course we have podcasts (i just need to find a good place for them on the blog.)
I hope you like it!
As announced previously, i've started a programme about art and science for ResonanceFM. The third episode is broadcast today Monday 4 June at 16.30 (GMT.) There will be a repeat on Thursday at 22.30. You can catch it online if you don't live in London. And of course we will have podcasts (still waiting for them.)
Howard Boland is in the studio today. The artist and mathematician co-founded C-LAB, an interdisciplinary art platform that explores the meaning and idiosyncrasies of the organic and the synthetic life.
7 years ago, I interviewed them about cacti that grow human hair and interstellar plant species. The radio programme catches up with their current interests, mostly magnetic nanoparticles and bacteria that might or might not smell like bananas.
As i mentioned this morning, The Center for PostNatural History in Pittsburgh has recently opened The Cold Coast Archive: Future Artifacts from the Svalbard Global Seed Vault, an exhibition that takes the famous "Doomsday Vault" as its starting point.
Opened in 2008, the Svalbard Global Seed Vault (SGSV) preserves seeds from nearly every nation on Earth in an underground cavern engineered to withstand catastrophe. It is located on the outskirts of Longyearbyen, on the arctic island of Spitsbergen, Svalbard Archipelago, halfway between the North Pole and Norway.
The seeds stored in this biological safety deposit box are duplicate samples held in seed banks worldwide. The facility is about 130 meters above sea level to protect it against any rise in sea level as a result of global warming, nuclear attack, and earth quakes. The vault itself has been tunnelled 120 meters into the mountain, in order to guarantee stable permafrost.
The exhibition currently on view at the Center for Postnatural History is a joint research and extrapolative project by artists Signe Lidén, Annesofie Norn, and Steve Rowell. Together, they examine the meaning and function of the world's largest and most well-protected collection of agricultural diversity.
The artists traveled to Longyearbyen in February, August, and September 2011 and came back with hundreds of photographs, videos, and audio recordings. The collaborative work also includes an experimental garden, field guide, and map from a survival kit designed to help future generations successfully locate this critical cache of seeds.
Steve Rowell: "The map above reveals the speculative geopolitics of the territory surrounding the vault, in a possible future-scenario in which China, Russia, and NATO have established military bases and industrial sites there. The document includes locations of navigation hazards, beacons, and other points of interest: emergency food/fuel caches, communication towers, weapons dump sites (radiological, chemical, even biological), wind turbine farms, ship wrecks, ruined oil platforms, undersea communication cables, etc. Since a treaty was signed in 1925, Svalbard has been officially demilitarized. But, WWII saw the sacking and burning of Longyearbyen by German troops and covert intelligence activities by both the US and USSR. Evidence of this can be found in historic photos and declassified documents and maps in the Cold Coast Archive exhibition."
The Cold Coast Archive project investigates and explores human beings' efforts to preserve civilization and defy the inevitability of its demise. We look at the vault as a whole: its practical, political, historical and symbolic structure, its arctic location, as well as its infrastructure and cultural nuances, with all the research concentrated at this site, as a backdrop to explore the human relationship to time between now and eternity.
I spent several hours yesterday clicking through the website of the project. It contains sound files that gives us a feeling of the atmosphere in the area as well as video interviews with the people who live there: from the world´s northernmost surfer to the miners working in the coal mine, from volunteers attempting to protect the coast from oil spills to experts in plant breeding and genetics. And of course there are dozens of stunning images. I've asked Steve Rowell to comment a couple of them for us:
Steve Rowell: "This is an artist's billboard mural (not sure who) on the road between the airport and the Sval Sat earthstation on the plataeu above the Seed Vault. The whole region is historic and active coal mine country. There's an active mine a few hundred meters down the road from this sign and the seed vault is situated between two closed mine shafts."
Steve Rowell: "We did drive these snowmobiles on a tour of the Advent valley and Temple Fjord / glacier. Typically we drove a 4x4 van (white one in one of the pics) or walked. There are no roads between the 3 active towns on Spitsbergen. Besides Longyearbyen, there are two mining towns: Barentsburg (Russian and Ukranian almost exclusively) and Svea Gruva (Norwegian). Remote Pyramiden was a Russian town, but now completely abandoned. The northernmost Lenin head is there as well as baby grand piano in an empty Russian hotel building. In the winter, when I went, travel outside of Longyearbyen was a pretty serious task and involved a mandatory guide who was licensed to carry a rifle, and trained to shoot and kill a polar bear if need-be. Anyone who leaves town MUST carry a rifle for self defense, along with a trailer (dog-sled or snowmobile) with enough supplies, food for 3 days."
Steve Rowell: "These are the doors to the inner vault where the seeds are being stored. There are three inner vaults. Only 1 of the 3 is being used now."
Steve Rowell: "Yeah, pretty amazing how wrong that one is. This is one of many that I found at the Library of Congress in Washington, DC in their maps collection. Did you notice the CIA map? There was no note of this being declassified, but I'm sure it is. The yellowish coloration in my photo isn't from a hi-lighter marker, but residual adhesive from tape that I removed. I noticed two white pieces of tape in both corners and peeled them back to reveal that the CIA had designed and printed this. All that Arctic strategizing is now coming to fruition. Russia was in the news this week about a deal that they just signed with Exxon-Mobil to explore the Russian Arctic for oil, incl the area to the East of Svalbard. "
Steve Rowell: "A peninsula on Spitsbergen between Longyearbyen (the vault) and Barentsburg. Incredible how many shades of blue exist up there in the winter, long blue spectrum wavelengths reflecting infinitely between atmosphere and snow. "
Steve Rowell: This one is an "Aerial view of the SvalSat facility."
Svalbard Satellite Station, aka SvalSat, is a large satellite earth station located on the island of Spitsbergen, above the Seed Vault. In a mountain nearby, the only remaining coal mine in operation provides power to the Seed Vault. On the mountain top above it, a research station monitors aurora borealis. As the website Cold Coast states, So here we have dramatically contrasting manifestations of space and time at an immense scale: on the mountain tops, instruments that reach deep into space and measure the present and predict relatively close future; deep underneath in the ground, two cavities - one harvesting the energy of fossilized rainforest created millions of years ago and the other protecting life into eternity.
And finally, Steve Rowell was kind enough to send me some views from the exhibition The Cold Coast Archive: Future Artifacts from the Svalbard Global Seed Vault at the Center for Postnatural History:
The Cold Coast Archive: Future Artifacts from the Svalbard Global Seed Vault is on display at the Center for Postnatural History until August 15th, 2012.
As announced last week, i've started a programme about art and science for ResonanceFM. The second episode is broadcast today Monday 28 May at 16.30 (GMT.) There will be a repeat on Thursday at 22.30. You can catch it online if you don't live in London. And of course there will be podcasts.
The guest of today's edition of #A.I.L. (Artists in Laboratories) is Richard Pell, the founder and director of The Center for Postnatural History in Pittsburgh, the first museum that seeks to research, document and exhibit man-made biological systems. I interviewed him on the blog last year as he had just opened the museum and the radio show looks at how the center's doing right now, its challenges, its projects, the spider silk-producing goats and the english bull terrier.
Steve Rowel joins us at the end of the show to give us a super quick tour of the Center's new show: The Cold Coast Archive: Future Artifacts from the Svalbard Global Seed Vault. That exhibition is so fascinating that i'll come back online tonight to post images and information about it. Yes! that would be 2 posts in a single day when i usually don't even manage to publish two stories in a week.

The first episode of #A.I.L - artists in laboratories, the radio show about art & science/technology i'm recording for Resonance FM is broadcast today Monday 21 May at 16.30 (GMT.) There will be a repeat on Thursday at 22.30. You can catch it online if you don't live in London. And of course there will be podcasts.
This week i'm talking with the lovely and lively Anna Dumitriu, visual artist and respected founder and director of The Institute of Unnecessary Research. She explains how she finds herself locked inside university laboratories to collaborate with scientists on major projects. We're talking about bacteria and how the problem is not that they exist but that they keep talking to each other, we're talking panda blood transfusion ahead of the Paris edition of Trust Me, I'm an Artist and there's even a mention of the robot that steals your face.
Anna has a show opening this Wednesday at The Barn Gallery in Oxford. Normal Flora: Bioart Responses to Modernising Medical Microbiology blurs the boundaries between art, textile crafts, and science. It uses a range of digital, biological and traditional media including live bacteria, projections and textiles. I'll be going on Wednesday, expect blurry images on my flickr stream.
Yesterday i was in Manchester for the FutureEverything festival. Mostly to see the art exhibition. The festival is up until Saturday but the exhibition remains open until June 10. It's a good show. Small but smart and with a sharp focus on artistic and political potential of new participatory technologies. I'll come back to it over the weekend.
Right now i wanted to have a look at Ollie Palmer's Ant Ballet.
Because of their decentralized organization (swarm intelligence), ants are a good model for the kind of participatory projects the exhibition is exploring this year. In the designer's work however, the behaviour and navigation of the insects are manipulated for artistic purposes. Palmer has spent 2 years observing the Argentine ant, aka Linepithema humile to build the Ant Ballet Machine, a system that enables him to direct ants and make them move in a choreographed fashion.
Using synthesised pheromones and computer vision system, a robotic arm sprays out pheromone powder trails that cause the ants to follow artificial trails in preference to the route they would normally take in search of food.
The project is separated into four phases referencing the 1974 scifi movie Phase IV. In the film, scientists are puzzled by the complex designs that ants have started building in the desert. The ant colony have in fact undergone rapid evolution as a result of a mysterious cosmic event.
Phase I of the Ant Ballet (2010-2012) is the one documented at the FutureEverything exhibition, it covers thorough research into ants and control systems, synthesis of ant pheromones and testing of systems with live ants in Barcelona. Phases II-IV (2012-2015) will develop further technologies, chemicals and mechanisms. In 2013 the first public ant ballet performance will be presented at Pestival Sao Paolo.
Check out the documentation of the Ant Ballet at the 1830 warehouse, the world's first railway warehouse, part of the MOSI (Museum of Science and Industry), Liverpool Rd, Manchester. Entrance to FutureEverybody art exhibition is free. The show remains open until 10 June 2012.

Thank you. Unfortunately, I am afraid that's what I am going to have to do eventually. The reason I am trying so hard to hang on to this sound card is because I listen to a ton of music, and it sounds SO much better with the soundcard. Really like night and day. The clarity and "sharpness" of it is something I would really like not to lose.

Danny Shelton, the massive defensive tackle for the Washington Huskies, enters the 2015 NFL Draft after a productive career as a three year starter along the defensive line. During his career at Washington, he registered 204 tackles, 24 TFLs and 11.5 sacks. He had an especially impressive 2014 season rushing the passer, as he enjoyed a career high 9 sacks. Shelton was named First Team All-Pac 12 in 2014 (was named honorable mention in 2013.). It's worth noting that Shelton was also named an Academic All-American this year. Physically, Shelton is the classic "mountain of a man." He's not the tallest or longest of prospects, but he is wide, thick and stout; he has the perfect physical makeup for the NT spot in a 34. That said, he has enough initial quickness and overall athleticism to fit in a 43, as he won't just be a guy who takes up space and eats blocks. He has a very thick lower half that serves him well when hunkering down at the POA. His midsection is a little sloppy, and he'll need to make sure he doesn't add any more weight. Athletically, Shelton isn't "fast" but he does have some plus quickness for a man that's nearly 340 lbs. He has lighter-than-expected feet and is coordinated enough to stay off the ground throughout the duration of the play. He has a good motor, too, as he doesn't quit on plays and gives it his all to chase a ballcarrier down from behind. Against the run, Shelton eats up a ton of space and frees up his defensive teammates to make plays. He faced a lot of double teams and still fared well, registering his fare share of tackles and disruptions in the backfield. He does a really nice job with his hands at the POA; he gets into the OL chest and generally controls the action. I'd like to see him shed blocks more consistently, but even when he is locked up with the opposing lineman, he rarely gives up ground or is moved away from the play's aiming point. He does a nice job finishing plays when he's in a position to make a tackle, and his motor generally allows for him to be in on most of the plays run at or near him. Against the pass, Shelton flashed a surprising array of pass rush moves that combined his raw power with his impressive quickness. On several occasions, he flashed a quick and effective swim move that complements his power/bull rush nicely; he keeps the opposing lineman guessing. While he doesn't project as much of a pass rusher in the NFL, he shouldn't be discounted much in this department. He will penetrate and make his presence felt in the passing game.
BOTTOM LINE: Danny Shelton is one of those players that might not flash "superstar" talent on the field, but he is a rare find because of his combination of size, above-average athletic ability, motor and intellegence. Guys like him will play for 10+ years in the NFL, with most of them as a highly-productive starter. He has a chance to be a poor man's Vince Wilfork on the next level, although he shouldn't be expected to make as many "wow" plays throughout his career. He's a first-round talent.

Etruscan Revival Gold Bracelet Signed NAPIER Vintage Jewelry
Designer signed Napier, this exquisite wide gold metal Etruscan style bracelet is a very rare design, and a rare Napier style.
It is hard to pin point exactly when this bracelet was made, but it was made sometime after 1955 to up through the 1970s. It is signed Napier with copyright. I believe the bracelet was made sometime during the 1970s as similar bold styles were being produced by Diane Lane, Jonathan Bailey, and Andre Boeut for Trifari and Napier was one of their biggest competitors.
The bracelet is made of 6 large links with oval mirror domes in bright polished gold and deeply molded leaves in satin etched and polished gold metal. The entire bracelet has heavy quality gold plating, back when gold plating was a standard of great quality designer jewelry.
The bracelet is 7 1/2" long x 1 3/4" wide or 19 cm x 4.5 cm. The length is fixed and cannot be adjusted as the bracelet has a hidden insert clasp. The entire bracelet is in exceptional condition with no signs of wear and no flaws or imperfections. The bracelet is microscopically clean and bright. The high polished gold domes have some microscopic, scant, light hints of gentle wear if viewed under high magnification; hardly worth noting. The back is finished in textured satin gold and the clasp is signed Napier ©.
Comes gift wrapped and shipped in a luxury presentation bracelet box.

Another disappointing score line. Watched a little of the opening set on stream and saw nothing encouraging.
I watched the whole match. Julia has really, REALLY big weapons, but is much too inconsistent. She had better shots than Zhang, but didn't get enough balls in the court to make it a close match. Misses way too much. And she is a total hothead. Gets really mad at herself when she misses an easy shot (which happens somewhat often). If she can get more level-headed and can make more shots, she will be top 50, period. But until then, she will struggle to stay even in the top 100.

Performance of applications such as service capabilities in a container for providing a multimedia service is monitored. Performance monitoring indicates how well the applications are functioning in terms of predefined metrics and also whether the applications are functioning at all. Responses are prompted if performance monitoring indicates that an application is performing below a predefined level or failing to perform entirely. For example, a hung application may be restarted and other applications may alter their manner of function. This allows complex recovery logic through combinations of simple rules.
1. A method for providing a multimedia service based on a plurality of different component applications which are controlled by different vendors, perform different functions and operate together to form the multimedia service comprising the steps of:
wrapping the different component applications which are controlled by different vendors and operate together to form the multimedia service in a container;
monitoring individual performance of ones of the component applications such that function of one of the component applications at a level below a predetermined value is detected;
generating a signal indicating which one of the component applications functioned below the predetermined value if function of one of the component applications at a level below the predetermined value is detected; and

A claim of priority is made to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/549,508 entitled Self Healing Containers, filed Mar. 2, 2004.
This invention is generally related to multimedia and telecommunications services, and more particularly to enhanced performance and reliability of those services.
Architectures which enable end user sessions and associated invocation of multimedia services such as Push To Talk ("PTT"), video streaming and Voice over Packet are known. One example proposed by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project ("3GPP") includes the 3GPP IP Multimedia Core Network Subsystem ("IMS") and 3GPP2 All IP Core Network Multimedia Domain ("MMD") which utilize Session Initiation Protocol ("SIP") Call Session Control Functions ("CSCF") components. A Serving CSCF ("S-CSCF") is operative to identify the multimedia services to which an end user has subscribed via a device such as a wireless phone, PDA or computer through a Proxy CSCF (P-CSCF), and provide means for invoking and controlling the runtime instances of services. User service interaction profiles are stored in a user profile database, which may be included in the Home Subscriber Service ("HSS") database. The S-CSCF analyzes the user service interaction profile and current session state to determine how to invoke and interwork services.
One or more component applications known as service capabilities are employed to provide each multimedia service. In particular, the service capabilities perform different functions which are coupled to provide the intended result of the multimedia service. The service capabilities for providing a multimedia service may be grouped in a container in order to facilitate operation. For example, the container may perform an interface function to provide a uniform Application Programming Interface ("API") if the individual service capabilities have disparate native interfaces. The container may also monitor state, i.e., whether the multimedia function of the container is operating or not. However, such basic state monitoring is not particularly useful for achieving high reliability or providing compliance with Service Level Agreements ("SLAs") in accordance with evolving industry conditions and demands.
In accordance with the present invention performance and errors of applications such as service capabilities in a container for providing a multimedia or other services is monitored. Performance monitoring indicates how well the applications are functioning in terms of predefined metrics. Performance monitoring may also indicate whether the applications are functioning at all. Remedial action may be prompted if performance monitoring indicates that an application is performing below a predefined level or failing to perform entirely. The predefined level, which may correspond to a Service Level Agreement ("SLA"), may be automatically specified by a service capability, application server, or other network component. Remedial actions may include, for example, restarting a hung application or transferring capabilities to another running instance if dependent applications require immediate service. These actions may be dictated by financial consideration. The remedial actions may be quite complex and depend on multi-leveled thresholds of parameters that do not cross SLAs.
A management agent may be employed to implement performance monitoring of the applications of a particular container. One embodiment of the management agent monitors performance to determine whether a performance level, such as specified in a SLA, is met. Another embodiment of the management agent facilitates provision of services in accordance with the level specified by the SLA by prompting remedial actions.
One advantage of the invention is that reliability of multimedia services is enhanced. Because performance is monitored at the application level, the source of problems is identifiable with greater specificity. Further, because performance is monitored it may be possible to prompt remedial actions before a complete failure of the multimedia service occurs. Reliability is also enhanced because performance metrics are computed relative to each application rather than solely mapping local behavior to global SLA attributes in the application.
Another advantage of the invention is that compliance with SLAs is facilitated. As the provision of multimedia services evolves to rely upon components maintained by different business organizations, overall performance of a multimedia service becomes dependent upon the ability of those business organizations to meet SLAs. Because performance is monitored at the application level, a provider of a particular application may have earlier indication of a problem, and failure to meet SLA requirements may be easily traced to the provider of a particular application. For example, the container has information regarding dependencies between applications and service capabilities, and also the states of those applications and service capabilities. Consequently, timely switching of providers to meet SLA requirements being offered to a subscriber or other service provider is facilitated.
In order to facilitate a fuller understanding of the present invention, reference is now made to the appended drawings. These drawings should not be construed as limiting the present invention, but are intended to be exemplary only.
Runtime instances of multimedia services are provided by containers 22, 24, 26, which are ASs. In particular, each container represents at least one service capability which comprises at least one runtime instance of a particular multimedia service, i.e., each runtime instance may be associated with multiple service capabilities, and the container may represent multiple runtime instances of a service, and even multiple services. Each container includes one or more component applications such as service capabilities 28 which operate together to provide the service or services. For example, container 26, which includes component service capabilities such as user location 30, user profile 32, presence & availability 34, and a messaging gateway 36, contains multiple multimedia services with multiple, potentially different, runtime instances.
In order to facilitate meeting negotiated agreements for the multimedia services associated with the container 26, performance of the component applications are individually monitored. Performance monitoring indicates how well each application is functioning in addition to whether the applications are functioning at all. The use of the term performance here encompasses a variety of state and behavioural information which is not limited to measuring of a timed or time sensitive characteristic. For example, performance monitoring could indicate metrics such as the response time, packet loss, jitter and the throughput rate of each component application. The particular metric or metrics most useful for a particular service capability 28 is at least in-part dependent on and tailored to the function performed by the service capability. The performance monitoring functions are implemented by a management agent 38, 40, 42. In particular, each management agent is employed to monitor behaviour (e.g. performance, state, failures, usage and security patterns) of the applications of a particular container, e.g., management agent 38 monitors service capabilities 28.
The Service Level Agreement ("SLA") Service Provider Interface ("SPI") 58 is a management agent interface that a service capability may implement in order for the container 26 to attempt to instantiate that service capability with monitoring of negotiated SLA attributes. Performance metrics may then be collected directly by the container or they may be provided by the service object 62 via the performance API which is coordinated and managed by the management agent components. Invocation includes identification of performance attributes expressed in any form phrased in the context of attributes which the component supports (negotiation of SLA). The form of the expression has significance insofar as management agents may be 3rd party provided, e.g., the CSCF, AS, MA, services may be provided by different corporate entities so the expression may need to be comprehensible to the management agents of different corporate entities. Performance of attributes which the container 26 can measure without component intervention, such as number of threads used, need not involve the Performance-API 61, and thus do not require invocation of the Performance-API by the service capability to achieve this functionality. SLA negotiation through the SLA-SPI may be based on WSLA or another relevant standard. Hence, the management agent can support monitoring of any particular selected or calculated performance metrics which may be desired by the service capability provider for maintaining adequate performance and providing an indication of compliance with agreements or guarantees between business organizations.
The SLA-SPI 58 may also include a component activation API extension 64 which processes requests for performance monitoring of other service capabilities. In particular, the extension 64 provides data regarding the performance of one or more service capabilities to some other service capability. The extension may be invoked with phrasing such that all performance attributes of interest to the requesting service capability can be algorithmically computed from attributes known to the container or understood by the used component itself. Hence, a service capability may adjust its performance in order to accommodate changes in performance of other service capabilities or even with changing application requirements.
The SLA-SPI 58 may also include an extension 66 through which a component may report on attributes which the component allows to be requested. Service capabilities need not report on performance attributes which can be detected by the container alone, but some performance attributes may be available only to the service capability. If such a performance attribute is desired by another service capability, device or business organization, request and provision of that performance attribute is supported by the SLA-SPI.
The Fault API 56 may be implemented to enable service capabilities to report failures which cannot be detected by the container 26 alone. The report of a failure by a component implies that the component itself and all subtending components are unable to remedy the situation. The Fault API may also be employed to report the failure of a service capability to meet predetermined performance metrics short of complete operational failure. The container may automate this failure reporting mechanism through machine learning mechanisms and information inherently available to the container. Applications may report non-performance degradations through this API as well (e.g. degradation of the accuracy of a calculation which is not in the SLA).
The Fault SPI 54 provides notification of subtending service capability failure, i.e., failure of dependencies. For example, when a failure is recognized by the container the failure is reported to the non-failing service capabilities and any other specified network devices and business organizations. Similarly, when a failure is reported via the Fault API, that failure is reported to the non-failing service capabilities and any other specified network devices and business organizations via the fault SPI 54. The Fault SPI may also be employed to report the failure of a service capability to meet predetermined performance metrics short of a complete operational failure, whether detected by the container or reported by the sub-component via the Fault API. In addition to triggering reporting activity, failures may trigger activation of recovery depending on the error type, severity, and specified recovery logic.
The Registry API 50 wraps the existing container registry mechanism, e.g., JNDI, or UDDI and may provide additional information about a component such as availability, a list of performance attributes, a list of dependencies, and other options such as "visible outside container." In some containers this can be implemented with deployment descriptors and auto-population of the registry. The Registry API may also support the registration of instance dependencies between components, if the container does not know this information by default, which may be used by components to register the components which they in turn utilize. Hence, information regarding availability, attributes and dependencies is available from a single source to facilitate configuration and operation.
The Recovery SPI 52 facilitates remedial actions in response to failure to meet performance targets and recovery from operational failures. The Recovery SPI includes information indicating how dependencies are managed during performance and operational failure. For example, the Recovery SPI provides a service capability with a list of valid and invalid dependent service capabilities. A success indicator implies continued operation of this dependency chain. A failure indicator causes the container to propagate failure to the next level of dependency (up the call-chain). The Recovery SPI functionality may be automated through machine learning mechanisms in the container.
The object mapper/resource adapter 60 is operative to translate communications between the management object, container and other network devices. In particular, the object mapper/resource adapter is operative to translate data between desired formats and translate instructions and semantics between protocols.
Performance and fault monitoring data as well as instantiation information may be stored for administrator browsing, troubleshooting and audit purposes. For example, a data logging and security component 64 may be implemented to store desired data. Data collection may be automated through machine learning mechanisms in the container. Data collection may also be integrated to billing systems by the container integration possibly with security (for instance RADIUS accounting interface supports accounting information about SO attributes) via the data logging and security component.
Because the management agent which implements the described components may itself be constrained by the described environment and failures, the management agent itself may be made self-healing. This can be implemented by employing a matched pair, i.e., implementing the same set of components, of recovering agents and each monitoring all of the service capabilities components and the matching recovery agent. Many well known techniques exist for this mechanism, such as master-slave. Note that the clustered deployment supported by most containers means that all the above described functionality may execute over distributed clusters.
In view of the description above, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that modifications and variations of the described and illustrated embodiments may be made within the scope of the inventive concepts. Moreover, while the invention is described in connection with various illustrative structures, those of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that the invention may be employed with other structures. Accordingly, the invention should not be viewed as limited except by the scope and spirit of the appended claims.
