As a pedestrian travels, various difficulties can be encountered, such as traveling through an unsafe neighborhood or being in an open area that is subject to harsh temperatures. A route can be developed for a person taking into account factors that specifically affect a pedestrian. Moreover, the route can alter as a situation of a user changes; for instance, if a user wants to add a stop along a route.

The subject specification relates generally to route production and in particular to route generation for a pedestrian.
Computer-driven automobile route planning applications are utilized to aid users in locating points of interest, such as particular buildings, addresses, and the like. Additionally, in several existent commercial applications, users can vary a zoom level, thereby enabling variation of context and detail as a zoom level of a map is altered. For example, as a user zooms in on a particular location, details such as names of local roads, identification and location of police and fire stations, identification and location of public services, such as libraries, museums, and the like can be provided to the user. When zooming out, the user can glean information from the map such as location of the point of interest within a municipality, state/providence, and/or country, proximity of the point of interest to major freeways, proximity of the point of interest to a specific city, and the like.
Furthermore, conventional computer-implemented mapping applications often include automotive route-planning applications that can be utilized to provide users with directions between different locations. Pursuant to an example, a user can provide an automotive route planning application with a beginning point of travel and an end point of travel (e.g., beginning and ending addresses). The route planning application can include or utilize representations of roads and intersections and one or more algorithms to output a suggested route of travel. These algorithms can output routes depending upon user-selected parameters. For instance, a commercial route planning application can include a check box that enables a user to specify that she wishes to avoid highways. Similarly, a user can inform the route planning application that she wishes to travel on a shortest route or a route that takes a least amount of time (as determined by underlying algorithms). Over the last several years, individuals have grown to rely increasingly on route planning applications to aid them in everything from locating a friend's house to planning cross-country road trips.
The following discloses a simplified summary of the specification in order to provide a basic understanding of some aspects of the specification. This summary is not an extensive overview of the specification. It is intended to neither identify key or critical elements of the specification nor delineate the scope of the specification. Its sole purpose is to disclose some concepts of the specification in a simplified form as a prelude to the more detailed description that is disclosed later.
Conventional route generation systems obtain data from various sources and generate a direction set to be used by a person operating an automobile. A user commonly inputs a starting location and an intended destination in addition to travel constraints (e.g., to avoid highways, minimum travel time, minimal travel distance, or minimal gas consumption); based upon inputted information, a travel route is generated. However, there are numerous difficulties in translating vehicle (e.g., automotive) route generation to pedestrian travel. For instance, a pedestrian can commonly traverse terrain that is more rugged then many vehicles (e.g., climbing steep and rocky hills); conversely, a pedestrian can become more susceptible to environmental influence, such as from cold temperatures.
The disclosed innovation produces routes that are intended to be taken by a pedestrian. A gather component obtains information related to intended pedestrian travel and a generation component produces a route based upon at least part of the obtained information. Commonly, the pedestrian route is produced based off security information, weather information, terrain information, or a combination thereof. Various features can integrate with route presentment, such as integrating an advertisement targeted to a pedestrian with a direction set.
A large amount of focus in route generation has focused upon vehicle route generation and little attention has been paid to pedestrian route production. Since a large number of individuals travel by vehicle, application to pedestrian travel has been ignored. However, there has been a long felt need for route generation towards individuals that do not commonly travel by vehicle—for instance, many economically challenged areas are populated with individuals that do not own motorized vehicles and generally travel by walking. In addition, unexpected results can take place through practice of the disclosed innovation. As an illustration, a pedestrian could arrive at a location faster than if she traveled in a vehicle by taking more direct paths, yet a vehicle commonly travels much faster. Due to detailed route planning, a direction set can be created that allows a user to take more diverse paths that can compensate for a general lack of speed.
The following description and the annexed drawings set forth certain illustrative aspects of the specification. These aspects are indicative, however, of but a few of the various ways in which the principles of the specification can be employed. Other advantages and novel features of the specification will become apparent from the following detailed description of the specification when considered in conjunction with the drawings.
The claimed subject matter is now described with reference to the drawings, wherein like reference numerals are used to refer to like elements throughout. In the following description, for purposes of explanation, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the claimed subject matter. It can be evident, however, that the claimed subject matter can be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, well-known structures and devices are shown in block diagram form in order to facilitate describing the claimed subject matter.
As used in this application, the terms "component," "module," "system," "interface," or the like are generally intended to refer to a computer-related entity, either hardware, a combination of hardware and software, software, or software in execution. For example, a component can be, but is not limited to being, a process running on a processor, a processor, an object, an executable, a thread of execution, a program, and/or a computer. By way of illustration, both an application running on a controller and the controller can be a component. One or more components can reside within a process and/or thread of execution and a component can be localized on one computer and/or distributed between two or more computers. As another example, an interface can include I/O components as well as associated processor, application, and/or API components.
Furthermore, the claimed subject matter can be implemented as a method, apparatus, or article of manufacture using standard programming and/or engineering techniques to produce software, firmware, hardware, or any combination thereof to control a computer to implement the disclosed subject matter. The term "article of manufacture" as used herein is intended to encompass a computer program accessible from any computer-readable device, carrier, or media. For example, computer readable media can include but are not limited to magnetic storage devices (e.g., hard disk, floppy disk, magnetic strips . . . ), optical disks (e.g., compact disk (CD), digital versatile disk (DVD) . . . ), smart cards, and flash memory devices (e.g., card, stick, key drive . . . ). Additionally it should be appreciated that a carrier wave can be employed to carry computer-readable electronic data such as those used in transmitting and receiving electronic mail or in accessing a network such as the Internet or a local area network (LAN). Of course, those skilled in the art will recognize many modifications can be made to this configuration without departing from the scope or spirit of the claimed subject matter.
Moreover, the word "exemplary" is used herein to mean serving as an example, instance, or illustration. Any aspect or design described herein as "exemplary" is not necessarily to be construed as preferred or advantageous over other aspects or designs. Rather, use of the word exemplary is intended to disclose concepts in a concrete fashion. As used in this application, the term "or" is intended to mean an inclusive "or" rather than an exclusive "or". That is, unless specified otherwise, or clear from context, "X employs A or B" is intended to mean any of the natural inclusive permutations. That is, if X employs A; X employs B; or X employs both A and B, then "X employs A or B" is satisfied under any of the foregoing instances. In addition, the articles "a" and "an" as used in this application and the appended claims should generally be construed to mean "one or more" unless specified otherwise or clear from context to be directed to a singular form. It is to be appreciated that various determinations or inferences made in the subject specification can be practiced through use of artificial intelligence techniques.

The system 100 can produce a direction set that is specifically tailored to pedestrian travel. A gather component 102 can obtain information related to pedestrian travel. Example information related to pedestrian travel include maps (e.g., extracted from a database), user history, weather information, crime statistics, demographic information, etc. Various processing can take place upon the obtained information, such as ranking obtained information toward relevance in pedestrian route production.
Obtained information and metadata (e.g., ranking results) can transfer from the gather component 102 to a generation component 104 that produces a direction set for use by a pedestrian based at least part upon the obtained information. Obtained information can be analyzed and analysis results are used to create a new travel route or modify an existing travel route. The produced direction set can be outputted to a user device, such as a cellular telephone, personal digital assistant, watch, dedicated vehicle device, printer etc. The produced direction set can be improved or optimized according to at least one criterion, such as keeping a user safe.
The following is an illustrative example of operation of the system 100 according to an aspect of the subject specification. Historically, at 5 PM, a user can walk from his office to his home on weekdays; the gather component 102 can learn this history and obtain information related to the walk (e.g., paths previously taken by a user, available paths, user experiences upon the paths, etc.). For instance, the gather component 102 can extract information from a schedule that the user is to attend his daughter's recital in several hours, so it is likely he wants a quickest path. The generation component 104 can analyze the information and construct a direction set that allows the user to take paths that take him to his home in a quickest amount of time while keeping the user relatively safe (e.g., taking the user through neighborhoods with violent crime statistics below a certain threshold).
Now referring to
To engage a source (e.g., auxiliary source), a search component 204 can be employed to locate a source that provides information that can be obtained. A source can be a database server, an airway transmission, in incoming electronic message, etc. The search component 204 can retain addresses (e.g., Internet Protocol addresses) of locations that have a history of providing quality information. Moreover, the search component 204 can identify low quality sources (e.g., sources that do not provide much information that is used in route generation) and block information obtainment for such identified sources. The search component 204 can function to extract information from a source, make a copy of information, etc. In addition, information from a plurality of pedestrians (e.g., pedestrian history) can be retained upon a server and extracted though use of the search component 204.
In addition to extracting information from auxiliary sources, an interface component 206 enables a user to input information that can be used in route production. Common data inputted by a user includes a starting location, constraints (e.g., not to travel over unpaved terrain), intended destination, and the like. The user can enter information in a number of different manners, such as through a keyboard, mouse, stylus, tablet computer, microphone, etc.
In one aspect, a pedestrian can have a desire to engage a particular person or group of people. For example, the system 200 can be on an electronic device of a small child that has become lost from her parents. An interaction component 208 can collect information concerning routes of other people and collected data can be used to update a route in real-time, such as for the child to meet with her parents. The interaction component 208 can be bidirectional, meaning it can collect route or location information of others (e.g., pedestrians, in vehicles, etc.) as well as transmit collected data or direction set information to others (e.g., global transmission, directed transmission, etc.). Based upon this routes can be produced upon multiple devices that lead to a common meeting point.
The gather component 102 can obtain virtually any type of information that relates to pedestrian travel—so much information that operation of the system 200 can lose performance due to tasks associated with processing the information. A filter component 210 can limit information that passes through to a generation component 104 that constructs a direction set. The filter component 210 can determine information that is likely relevant and delete information that is commonly of little value; this can be done at least in part through examination of previously produced routes.
Different pieces of information, such as obtained information, component operating instructions (e.g., of the search component 204), source location, an original route, etc. can be held on storage 212. Storage 212 can arrange in a number of different configurations, including as random access memory, battery-backed memory, hard disk, magnetic tape, etc. Various features can be implemented upon storage 212, such as compression and automatic back up (e.g., use of a Redundant Array of Independent Drives configuration).
Now referring to
Various characteristics of obtained information can be appreciated through evaluation of obtained information. An analysis component 302 evaluates the obtained information, the evaluation results are used by the generation component 104 to produce the direction set. Evaluating can include determining importance of information to a user (e.g., has a user historically cared about safe neighborhoods), estimating how likely information is to change (e.g., sidewalk congestion), etc. Additionally, the analysis component 302 can choose if a user should reach a destination through a pedestrian route and/or through a conventional route (e.g., a route intended to be traveled by an automobile where the user is a driver). For example, a user can be traveling to a downtown area to watch a baseball game where the user has an option to take public transportation or to drive to the game. The analysis component 302 can process different factors, such as cost of public transportation against cost of parking, and determine if a pedestrian route or other route should be produced.
An artificial intelligence component 304 can make at least one inference or at least one determination in relation to information obtainment or direction set production. For instance, the artificial intelligence component 304 can infer if a user will find a route enjoyable due to previous behavior (e.g., the user walked briskly, the user stopped presumably to view a scenic area or point of interest, etc.) and a route is produced based upon the inference. Moreover, the artificial intelligence component 304 can determine a format a pedestrian would like to receive a direction set. For example, a blind pedestrian can prefer to have a direction set verbally read or printed in Braille and the artificial intelligence component 304 can determine the preference.
Artificial intelligence component 304 can employ one of numerous methodologies for learning from data and then drawing inferences and/or making determinations related to applying a service (e.g., Hidden Markov Models (HMMs) and related prototypical dependency models, more general probabilistic graphical models, such as Bayesian networks, e.g., created by structure search using a Bayesian model score or approximation, linear classifiers, such as support vector machines (SVMs), non-linear classifiers, such as methods referred to as "neural network" methodologies, fuzzy logic methodologies, and other approaches that perform data fusion, etc.) in accordance with implementing various automated aspects described herein. Methods also include methods for the capture of logical relationships such as theorem provers or more heuristic rule-based expert systems.
A resolution component 306 can be used to settle conflicts between different pieces of information where conflicting details are provided. For instance, a news channel can report that there is heavy pedestrian traffic along a sidewalk while a store can publish information that few people are passing the store and offer incentives for routes to direct a user past the store. Since the store has a financial interest in sidewalk traffic, store information can be considered less reliable and the resolution component 306 can instruct the generation component 104 to build a route based upon the news information. Decisions concerning direction set production can be placed into effect by an implementation component 308. Common implementations include building a new direction set, altering a direction set, and the like. Consistency checks can be run by the implementation component 308, such as if multiple goals of a user are met (e.g., a user wants to take a fastest route and stop to buy lunch; however, there is not a store selling food along a fastest route). If a check fails, then the generation component 104 can modify the route before it is produced.
Now referring to
Various actions take place in accordance with direction set production, such as information passing between different parties. Rewards (e.g., money) can be exchanged between parties, accounts, etc. through used of a transaction component 402. The transaction component 402 can perform a reward (e.g., financial, non-financial, etc.) operation in relation to information obtainment or direction set production. The transaction component 402 can perform actions to meet constraints, such as debiting a user account and crediting a provider account. While fiscal amounts are commonly transacted, it is to be appreciated that other commodities can be exchanged, such as coupons, meeting of contractual obligations (e.g., canceling of a task to be performed), tax credits, etc.
Moreover, a reward operation can take place in relation to user response to a commercial detail (e.g., presented with a pedestrian route). For example, an advertisement can be played that a user should stop at a highway exit for a cup of coffee. If the user takes the exit, buys the cup of coffee, buys a different item, etc., then payments of varying amounts can be made to an advertisement hosting service.
A disclosure component 404 can provide the direction set to the pedestrian. A non-exhaustive list of disclosure components include a display screen, touch screen, speaker system, virtual reality environment, Braille production system, printer, etc. In addition, the disclosure component 404 can present information in multiple formats, such as showing a video with audio capabilities. In addition, a variety of components can operate in conjunction with the disclosure component as well as independently.
A metadata component 406 can modify information provided with the direction set based upon contextual information (e.g., a user appears to be in a hurry), pedestrian request (e.g., a user asking to not take a particular route, a fastest way, a shortest way, . . . ), pedestrian history (e.g., a user has shown a propensity to avoid particular areas), or a combination thereof. The contextual information, pedestrian request, pedestrian history, or a combination thereof can be obtained by the gather component 102. Moreover, the disclosure component 404 can provide the direction set with modified information to the pedestrian. The metadata component 406 can operate prior to a pedestrian being presented a direction set as well as modify an already presented direction set. In an illustrative example, a user can have a history of becoming confused and lost in subway systems. The metadata component 406 can add information to a route when a user enters a subway system (e.g., normally sign names are given with a direction set; however, in subways sign names and colors are given.)
In addition to information concerning a route being presented to a pedestrian, an advertisement component 408 can integrate a commercial detail with a direction set. A non-exhaustive list of commercial details can include advertisements of a product or service, coupon, movie preview, etc. For example, a notice can be included in a direction set that a pedestrian can take slight detour and stop at a favorite place to receive coffee. The user can be compensated (e.g., financially) for being presented a commercial detail and a direction set can be altered to take a user to a location related to a commercial detail.
Now referring to
A generation component 104 can produce a direction set for use by a pedestrian based at least part upon the obtained information. The generation component 104 can implement as a means for outputting a direction set based upon at least part of the obtained information, the direction set includes a portion where a user travels in a natural manner (e.g., such as walking, swimming, climbing, using a manner appropriate for a disability, such as riding in a wheelchair that is hand powered or electronic, etc.) and a portion where the user functions as a passenger (e.g., traveler in a vehicle, operator of a vehicle/bicycle, etc.). The system 500 can configure such that at least part of the portion where the user functions as a passenger employs the user being a passenger upon public transportation (e.g., public system, private commercial system for movement of at least one person, etc.). For example, a route can have portions where a user walks, drives a motorcycle, and is a passenger in a taxi. The route does not have to specify a vehicle to be used, such as a route taking a user to a bus stop, where the user can become a passenger on a bus or obtain a taxi ride.
A public transportation database 502 can be used to provide information concerning public transportation. Example information includes routes, schedules, estimated vehicle population density, vehicle metadata (e.g., is a particular bus running on time), etc. A non-exhaustive list of public transportation implementations can include airlines, buses, trains, taxi services, rickshaws, ferries, escalators, elevators, automotive pools, shared rides, multiple-person bicycles, and the like. In one example, a route can be produced by the generation component 104 that has a user walk from her home to her car, drive to an airport parking deck, walk from the parking deck to an airplane, ride the airplane, walk to meet a taxi, take the taxi to a hotel, and walk to a hotel counter.
Now referring to
At event 604, a request produced by a user can be evaluated. The methodology 600 can read the text message and infer that a route should be altered taking a user to a coffee shop. Additional information can be ascertained relating to a request—for instance a pedestrian can request that a coffee shop be integrated into a route immediately (e.g., make a stop as soon as possible) or integration to take place at anytime along a route.
A search can be performed of relevant localities within an area (e.g., city limits) at act 606. The search can be specific or general—for any coffee shop, for a coffee shop within a certain distance, for a specific coffee shop chain, etc. A search can be localized (e.g., searching a database for locations) as well as broad (e.g., attempting to communicate with nearby coffee shops) and other implementations.
Based upon locations established at action 606, a specific location can be chosen at act 608 (e.g., selecting one coffee shop to integrate upon a route from several located coffee shops). Various criteria can be used to select a specific location ranging from user criteria as well as contextual reasons. For instance, different coffee shops can offer different coupons for a user to stop at a shop. User history can be evaluated to infer a coupon that would be most beneficial to a user (e.g., a coupon on a user's favorite coffee drink) and evaluation results can be used to select a location.
At act 610, a database of paths can be analyzed in order to determine how a pedestrian can reach a specific location as well as reach an intended destination from the specific location. In order for a pedestrian to reach a selected location, paths are taken to connect a user location to a route. A path database can be analyzed to determine pedestrian friendly paths that can be taken. In addition to available paths, metadata can be gained, such as safety of paths, expected traffic, path views (e.g., if a user is a tourist, then she can desire to travel along routes that are considered more scenic or more historical), and the like.
A pedestrian based route can be produced that can include travel to a specific location at action 612. Commonly, the produced route is outputted to a user through a disclosure device. According to one embodiment, a considerable portion of the route takes the pedestrian along at least one path that is not maneuverable by an automobile. Moreover, the produced route can be based upon security information, weather information, terrain information, or a combination thereof. It is to be appreciated that action 602 can configure to follow directly into action 612 without act 606, 608, or 610.
At block 614, a financial transaction can take place in accordance with the methodology 600. Money can be exchanged between parties due to functions of the methodology 600. For instance, if a particular coffee shop is selected, then the coffee shop can be obliged to pay a company running the methodology 600 for the selection. Money can be debited from an account of the coffee shop and credited to a user account. While money is discussed, it is to be appreciated non-monetary rewards can change between parties.

A request can include harmful characteristics, such as viruses, and operations to prevent damage can take place at action 704. A scan can take place upon an incoming request and safety measures can be implemented, such a quarantining dangerous data. If dangerous data is discovered, then a message can be sent that a supplemental request should be made. Security operation can include authentication for authorizing access to restricted areas.
At block 706, data can be processed related to the request to ascertain characteristics of the request. Processing request data, such as learning a time a request was made, enables specific actions to take place based upon the request. Information learned from the processing can be retained in storage.
A check 708 takes place to determine if a request is authorized. For instance, a pedestrian can travel upon a military base where access at many areas is restricted. If a pedestrian requests that a waypoint be included that takes the pedestrian to a munitions depot, then the check 708 can determine if the pedestrian is allowed to receive information concerning a depot.
If a request is authorized, then request metadata can be transferred at act 710. Commonly, the information is transferred to a location that can perform production of a pedestrian-based route. An unauthorized request can lead to request cancellation at event 712 and a message can be sent to a requesting party stating that a request was denied. In an alternative embodiment, while a request is authorized, it can be possible that a request cannot be complied (e.g., a location requested does not exist). A message can be transferred to a user stating that a request cannot be followed as well as why it is not being followed.
Now referring to
A variety of calculations can take place in accordance with the methodology 800 at event 808. For instance, multiple locations can be chosen and event 808 selects a best location base upon user interest, convenience, etc. In addition, calculations can be performed that discover a path that can take a user to a specific location (e.g., at least on path from a current location to a specific location). Multiple routes can be established and weighted against one another to determine a route that should be presented to a user.
A check 810 can take place to determine if a route can be made that includes the specific location. For example, a user can request to go to restaurant chain that is out of business, therefore a route cannot be created. The check 810 can determine if a route can be made in general as well as if a route can be realistically made. For instance, if a nearest requested location is several hundred miles away, then it can be considered unrealistic for a pedestrian to travel such a long distance.
If no route can be made (e.g., reasonably be made), then an error message can be sent at block 812. The error message can be interactive, such as asking a user if she would like to make another request. At event 814, if a route can be made, then an appropriate route is created. Creation of a route can include building a new route as well as modifying an existing route.
For purposes of simplicity of explanation, methodologies that can be implemented in accordance with the disclosed subject matter were shown and described as a series of blocks. However, it is to be understood and appreciated that the claimed subject matter is not limited by the order of the blocks, as some blocks can occur in different orders and/or concurrently with other blocks from what is depicted and described herein. Moreover, not all illustrated blocks can be required to implement the methodologies described hereinafter. Additionally, it should be further appreciated that the methodologies disclosed throughout this specification are capable of being stored on an article of manufacture to facilitate transporting and transferring such methodologies to computers. The term article of manufacture, as used, is intended to encompass a computer program accessible from any computer-readable device, carrier, or media.

The system 900 also includes one or more server(s) 904. The server(s) 904 can also be hardware and/or software (e.g., threads, processes, computing devices). The servers 904 can house threads to perform transformations by employing the specification, for example. One possible communication between a client 902 and a server 904 can be in the form of a data packet adapted to be transmitted between two or more computer processes. The data packet can include a cookie and/or associated contextual information, for example. The system 900 includes a communication framework 906 (e.g., a global communication network such as the Internet) that can be employed to facilitate communications between the client(s) 902 and the server(s) 904.
Communications can be facilitated via a wired (including optical fiber) and/or wireless technology. The client(s) 902 are operatively connected to one or more client data store(s) 908 that can be employed to store information local to the client(s) 902 (e.g., cookie(s) and/or associated contextual information). Similarly, the server(s) 904 are operatively connected to one or more server data store(s) 910 that can be employed to store information local to the servers 904.

Generally, program modules include routines, programs, components, data structures, etc., that perform particular tasks or implement particular abstract data types. Moreover, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the inventive methods can be practiced with other computer system configurations, including single-processor or multiprocessor computer systems, minicomputers, mainframe computers, as well as personal computers, hand-held computing devices, microprocessor-based or programmable consumer electronics, and the like, each of which can be operatively coupled to one or more associated devices.

In a distributed computing environment, program modules can be located in both local and remote memory storage devices.
A computer typically includes a variety of computer-readable media. Computer-readable media can be any available media that can be accessed by the computer and includes both volatile and nonvolatile media, removable and non-removable media. By way of example, and not limitation, computer-readable media can comprise computer storage media and communication media. Computer storage media includes volatile and nonvolatile, removable and non-removable media implemented in any method or technology for storage of information such as computer-readable instructions, data structures, program modules or other data. Computer storage media includes, but is not limited to, RAM, ROM, EEPROM, flash memory or other memory technology, CD-ROM, digital versatile disk (DVD) or other optical disk storage, magnetic cassettes, magnetic tape, magnetic disk storage or other magnetic storage devices, or any other medium which can be used to store the desired information and which can be accessed by the computer.
Communication media typically embodies computer-readable instructions, data structures, program modules or other data in a modulated data signal such as a carrier wave or other transport mechanism, and includes any information delivery media. The term "modulated data signal" means a signal that has one or more of its characteristics set or changed in such a manner as to encode information in the signal. By way of example, and not limitation, communication media includes wired media such as a wired network or direct-wired connection, and wireless media such as acoustic, RF, infrared and other wireless media. Combinations of the any of the above should also be included within the scope of computer-readable media.
With reference again to
The system bus 1008 can be any of several types of bus structure that can further interconnect to a memory bus (with or without a memory controller), a peripheral bus, and a local bus using any of a variety of commercially available bus architectures. The system memory 1006 includes read-only memory (ROM) 1010 and random access memory (RAM) 1012. A basic input/output system (BIOS) is stored in a non-volatile memory 1010 such as ROM, EPROM, EEPROM, which BIOS contains the basic routines that help to transfer information between elements within the computer 1002, such as during start-up. The RAM 1012 can also include a high-speed RAM such as static RAM for caching data.
The computer 1002 further includes an internal hard disk drive (HDD) 1014 (e.g., EIDE, SATA), which internal hard disk drive 1014 can also be configured for external use in a suitable chassis (not shown), a magnetic floppy disk drive (FDD) 1016, (e.g., to read from or write to a removable diskette 1018) and an optical disk drive 1020, (e.g., reading a CD-ROM disk 1022 or, to read from or write to other high capacity optical media such as the DVD). The hard disk drive 1014, magnetic disk drive 1016 and optical disk drive 1020 can be connected to the system bus 1008 by a hard disk drive interface 1024, a magnetic disk drive interface 1026 and an optical drive interface 1028, respectively. The interface 1024 for external drive implementations includes at least one or both of Universal Serial Bus (USB) and IEEE 1394 interface technologies. Other external drive connection technologies are within contemplation of the subject specification.
The drives and their associated computer-readable media provide nonvolatile storage of data, data structures, computer-executable instructions, and so forth. For the computer 1002, the drives and media accommodate the storage of any data in a suitable digital format. Although the description of computer-readable media above refers to a HDD, a removable magnetic diskette, and a removable optical media such as a CD or DVD, it should be appreciated by those skilled in the art that other types of media which are readable by a computer, such as zip drives, magnetic cassettes, flash memory cards, cartridges, and the like, can also be used in the example operating environment, and further, that any such media can contain computer-executable instructions for performing the methods of the specification.
A number of program modules can be stored in the drives and RAM 1012, including an operating system 1030, one or more application programs 1032, other program modules 1034 and program data 1036. All or portions of the operating system, applications, modules, and/or data can also be cached in the RAM 1012. It is appreciated that the specification can be implemented with various commercially available operating systems or combinations of operating systems.
A user can enter commands and information into the computer 1002 through one or more wired/wireless input devices, e.g., a keyboard 1038 and a pointing device, such as a mouse 1040. Other input devices (not shown) can include a microphone, an IR remote control, a joystick, a game pad, a stylus pen, touch screen, or the like. These and other input devices are often connected to the processing unit 1004 through an input device interface 1042 that is coupled to the system bus 1008, but can be connected by other interfaces, such as a parallel port, an IEEE 1394 serial port, a game port, a USB port, an IR interface, etc.
A monitor 1044 or other type of display device is also connected to the system bus 1008 via an interface, such as a video adapter 1046. In addition to the monitor 1044, a computer typically includes other peripheral output devices (not shown), such as speakers, printers, etc.
The computer 1002 can operate in a networked environment using logical connections via wired and/or wireless communications to one or more remote computers, such as a remote computer(s) 1048. The remote computer(s) 1048 can be a workstation, a server computer, a router, a personal computer, portable computer, microprocessor-based entertainment appliance, a peer device or other common network node, and typically includes many or all of the elements described relative to the computer 1002, although, for purposes of brevity, only a memory/storage device 1050 is illustrated. The logical connections depicted include wired/wireless connectivity to a local area network (LAN) 1052 and/or larger networks, e.g., a wide area network (WAN) 1054. Such LAN and WAN networking environments are commonplace in offices and companies, and facilitate enterprise-wide computer networks, such as intranets, all of which can connect to a global communications network, e.g., the Internet.
When used in a LAN networking environment, the computer 1002 is connected to the local network 1052 through a wired and/or wireless communication network interface or adapter 1056. The adapter 1056 can facilitate wired or wireless communication to the LAN 1052, which can also include a wireless access point disposed thereon for communicating with the wireless adapter 1056.
When used in a WAN networking environment, the computer 1002 can include a modem 1058, or is connected to a communications server on the WAN 1054, or has other means for establishing communications over the WAN 1054, such as by way of the Internet. The modem 1058, which can be internal or external and a wired or wireless device, is connected to the system bus 1008 via the serial port interface 1042. In a networked environment, program modules depicted relative to the computer 1002, or portions thereof, can be stored in the remote memory/storage device 1050. It will be appreciated that the network connections shown are example and other means of establishing a communications link between the computers can be used.
The computer 1002 is operable to communicate with any wireless devices or entities operatively disposed in wireless communication, e.g., a printer, scanner, desktop and/or portable computer, portable data assistant, communications satellite, any piece of equipment or location associated with a wirelessly detectable tag (e.g., a kiosk, news stand, restroom), and telephone. This includes at least Wi-Fi and Bluetooth™ wireless technologies. Thus, the communication can be a predefined structure as with a conventional network or simply an ad hoc communication between at least two devices.
Wi-Fi, or Wireless Fidelity, allows connection to the Internet from a couch at home, a bed in a hotel room, or a conference room at work, without wires. Wi-Fi is a wireless technology similar to that used in a cell phone that enables such devices, e.g., computers, to send and receive data indoors and out; anywhere within the range of a base station. Wi-Fi networks use radio technologies called IEEE 802.11 (a, b, g, etc.) to provide secure, reliable, fast wireless connectivity. A Wi-Fi network can be used to connect computers to each other, to the Internet, and to wired networks (which use IEEE 802.3 or Ethernet). Wi-Fi networks operate in the unlicensed 2.4 and 5 GHz radio bands, at an 11 Mbps (802.11a) or 54 Mbps (802.11b) data rate, for example, or with products that contain both bands (dual band), so the networks can provide real-world performance similar to the basic 10BaseT wired Ethernet networks used in many offices.
The aforementioned systems have been described with respect to interaction among several components. It should be appreciated that such systems and components can include those components or sub-components specified therein, some of the specified components or sub-components, and/or additional components. Sub-components can also be implemented as components communicatively coupled to other components rather than included within parent components. Additionally, it should be noted that one or more components could be combined into a single component providing aggregate functionality. The components could also interact with one or more other components not specifically described herein but known by those of skill in the art.
What has been described above includes examples of the subject specification. It is, of course, not possible to describe every conceivable combination of components or methodologies for purposes of describing the subject specification, but one of ordinary skill in the art can recognize that many further combinations and permutations of the subject specification are possible. Accordingly, the subject specification is intended to embrace all such alterations, modifications and variations that fall within the spirit and scope of the appended claims. Furthermore, to the extent that the term "includes" is used in either the detailed description or the claims, such term is intended to be inclusive in a manner similar to the term "comprising" as "comprising" is interpreted when employed as a transitional word in a claim.

Beckford, 29, completed his protracted transfer to Wanderers on Wednesday from Leicester.
"The manager is a big part of the reason I decided to sign here," he told Bolton's official website.
"I know him quite well as a person and he [Freedman] is a top guy.
"We obviously played up front together at Leeds. Playing with him for that short period of time I certainly believe he helped make me a better player; I learned a lot from him.
"Since he became a manager he's someone I've always wanted to work with. I feel this is the perfect opportunity."

BLUFFTON — With track, in some cases winning isn't based on how well a team performs, but how the other teams place to shuffle around competitors scores.
Columbia City's girls track team and Head Coach Bob Fahl, are thanking the other team's in Tuesday night's sectional meet at Bluffton.
"I've always said, things have got to go right for your team, and the other teams have to help you," Fahl said. "Tonight, the other teams helped us."
After a disappointing team finish in the Northeast Hoosier Conference meet, the Lady Eagles topped three NHC teams, including conference champion Bellmont by 24 points, to win the sectional title.
Bellmont beat Columbia City by 11 points in the NHC meet.
"Things didn't fall right for us at the conference. Other teams snuck in and we weren't quite as sharp," Fahl said. "We had to count on the other teams to help us."
With just a 12-point lead over their opponents, the Lady Eagles sat and watched the final flight of the shot put, the determining event on whether or not they'd be loading the bus with a sectional trophy.
With no throwers in the final flight, Fahl, and the Lady Eagles, could only sit and watch their competitors, hoping lower-ranked teams would place high enough to keep their close competitors from taking the lead.
With Wayne sitting in second place — according to the announcers at the meet — the Lady General's top thrower heaved the shot put three feet farther than her season best, 37-feet 1-inch.
Columbia City counted on throwers from conference foe New Haven to step in and open the gap between the Wayne athletes — and they did.
The second Lady General placed seventh, putting Wayne just short of a win with 108 points, five away from the Lady Eagles. Homestead snuck in at second with 109 points.
Whitko also competed in the meet, scoring 35 points and placing seventh out of 12 teams. The Lady Wildcats advanced their 400-meter relay team and Josie Sparks advances to regionals next Tuesday at Northrop, along with Columbia City's team.View more articles in:

The Ultimate Fighter On FX 'Evolution' Trailer (Video)
THE UFC's "Ultimate Fighter: Cruz vs. Faber" is set to debut on March 9 on FX.
Read More: Dominick Cruz (News), Urijah Faber (News), The Ultimate Fighter
13 Responses to "The Ultimate Fighter On FX 'Evolution' Trailer (Video)"
Honestly they should have quit after season 7. I stopped watching when they put on Kimbo. They're just over doing it. Making it live and putting it in another country isn't going to change anything. There's not even any real talent coming out of it anymore. The show did it's job and made the UFC big, it's not pulling in new fans anymore, the UFC is already in the mainstream. It's not really interesting MMA fans either, maybe UFC fans, but not MMA. The show gets dumber and dumber every season, just give it up Dana.
WOW be quiet your sooooo wrong… shh
what the FUCK! whos that guy who commented first!? there thinking about doing a Globad Tourney. how sick is that!? jeez commenter on top dont b such a slice hater haha.
All I can say is shut up. The last season was amazing. tuf brazil and tuf on fox will be the most successful tuf season since tuf 1
I agree TUF has gotten really stale. Faber as a coach is going to be a joke. He acts like a 12 year old kid most of time. TEAM ALPHA MIDGET IS LIKE A MIDGET DAY CARE CENTER. Miesha Tate is by far the tallest person that trains there and she is only 5'5″. I stood within 5 feet of Faber and Benevidez and I can tell you with about a 99.9% positive eitehr one them is over 5'3″ even with there stupid pink and flouresent green high tops with shoes laces dragging a foot behind them. I'm only 5'11 but me and my buddy both had a foot on them easy. so anyon e who believes those exaggerated UFC stats need to get a clue. Any bets Faber sets it up so he has about 5 of his own students from TEAM ALPHA MIDGET all set up to be on his team on TUF
ur sad.
be glad :]
although i don't agree with you, there is a point i'd like to bring up that makes TUF somewhat problematic. you have to sacrifice an hour a week to tune into the show and for many fans, that time requirement is way too much. we all have lives outside of being mma fans.
I still watch n love the show doesn't hurt if they change it up a bit
Name the last good talent that came out of TUF. It's Bad Girls Club on steroids. It was stale after the fifth but the talent was at least good enough to keep it going. Now they have nothing. They knew they had nothing, that's why they took Kimbo, after Dana made it perfectly clear Kimbo was not going to take any part in the UFC. Now TUF Brazil may produce good talent, but let's face it, they show is paid it's due, it's long past time to get rid of it. Come one, Kimbo, Brock, what the hell is Dana thinking, about ratings, because he knows people will tune in to see it, same reason he's saying Edgar won that fight. Who cares if they're good fighters, as long as they pull in views right?
does anyone else here not believe in evolution?
I did, but your name is kind of throwing me off.
Evolution of fighting? Or plain old Evolution?

our holiday displays are now up in our stores and they are so, so beautiful… like stepping into a magical forest dusted with snow, where trees drip with crystals and shiny trinkets catch the moonlight and twinkle like stars…
from our display team:
this year's holiday display was inspired by vintage snowy showgirl dresses mixed in with antique silver and icy blue trinkets. we have intricately cut snowflake curtains paired with sheer glittery booti print panels – inspired by actual indian booti prints. we wanted to balance the delicate dresses and panels with organic branches and rugged cardboard gift boxes. then to add sparkle and pops of color, we added the neon melon crystal chains to hang in groups from the ceiling.
their inspiration:
and now here are the installed displays at our ardmore and king of prussia, pa stores! i actually drove by our ardmore store saturday night and it looked amazing with the twinkling lights in the dark.

Attorneys for eight employees have filed a personal injury lawsuit against Tenneco, Inc., Hart County's largest employer.
In the suit filed late Tuesday afternoon, the workers claim Tenneco failed to adequately protect them from the chemical hexavalent chromium, according to their attorney, Drew Hill.
"Our clients are alleging they were exposed to hexavalent chromium, which is used in the Hartwell plant in the manufacture of shock absorbers," said Drew Hill, the attorney representing the workers.
Hexavalent Chromium is a dangerous chemical known to cause cancer and other respiratory problems after long-term exposure.
Hill said the eight employees he's representing have been experiencing a number of health problems.
"We're just getting started in the litigation, but there are various injuries, such as nasal injuries and respiratory injuries from exposure to the chemical," Hill said Tuesday.
According to the complaint, the two plating machines at Tenneco use hexavalent chromium in the plating process.
The plating machines are equipped with air scrubbers and ventilators, but the lawsuit claims the company that installed the hood ventilators and scrubbers, Atotech, USA did not put them in correctly.
The Hart County Tenneco plant has been fined twice in the last two years by the U.S. Occupational Health and Safety Administration for its failure to adequately protect its employees from exposure to hexavalent chromium.
Mike Alzamora is a spokesperson for Tenneco. Alzamora said the company has not yet seen a copy of the suit.
"Honestly the first I heard of it was your message," Alzamora said late Tuesday afternoon. "I don't have any information for you at this point. At this point, I don't know anything."
The employees are seeking unspecified monetary damages. The company has 30 days to respond to the complaint.

I was about to write this entry in my blog which I found. Before that I got comment in my previous Blog on C# 3.0 Features: Automatic Property (Part 2). The same question came in my mind. What will happen if you try to create an automatic property just with get. The C# 3.0 compiler throws an error. If you try to write
//Automatic Property
public int CustID2
The error looks like
'ConsoleApplication1.Customer.CustID2.get' must declare a body because it is not marked abstract or extern. Automatically implemented properties must define both get and set accessors.
To many it is very unfortunate because most often we may need to declare read-only property (commonly known as "getter" property). But we do have way to do this
The same set of property can be declared as
private set;
This allows us to create the read-only property.
Thanks for the tip! I was not aware of that. Read-only properties are very important to me. This really improves my opinion of automatic properties.
However, could you clarify the design reasons requiring both an explicit get and set (even if one private)? If someone does not want a set, why make them write one and hide it? I would like to write...
public T foo
If the complier really needs a set method (which I can not understand why), then it should be able to automatically create a private set for me in the background.
There must be some sort of design decision and rational behind this, and I am curious to know what it is.
Q: What use would an automatic property that only has a get method serve?
A: See below.
Q: What would the get method return?
A: It would always return the default initialized value for the field, i.e, null for reference types, zero for non-reference types.
Q: How would you change what it returns?
A: You can't because you cannot access the connected field, you don't even know the name of the field.
With this exciting release of .NET Framework 3.5 I have been exploring its magic and sharing the finding
Agree with Dal - I was reading this thinking, "How the heck can code ever set the property to be able to read from it again?!"
Still, I'm writing a WCF service for ASP.NET targeting Framework 3.0 in VS 2008 RTM and it won't do the magic for me! Why not? It's VS 2008's compiler, no?
Clearly not.
If I change the targetted Framework to 3.5, it builds without the "must declare a body because it is not marked abstract or extern". I can only assume that it uses a different compiler that doesn't have this functionality. There. Maybe I should have thought of that before writing this. Oh well, may as well click Submit now...
dear wriju.
jestes pierdolniety, jak lato z radiem.
dalle: It would be nice if it acted like the readonly keyword acts so it can be set only once in the constructor.
public var MyVar {get;}
public Class()
MyVar = new Var();
public void doStuff() {
MyVar = new Var(); // This should give compiler error

Many of you probably make excuses to eat Chocolate or something sweet. I do that for savories. My cravings are 99.99% for salty, sour, spicy dishes and they unravel in fast succession during cold/rainy climates. I am not scared of frying ( I believe its all in the technique of frying) and hence enjoy them on and off. Oh by the way - to all those photography enthusiasts - would you believe that the above picture has NOT been processed to provide a black and white background to these goodies (I wouldn't know how to even if I wanted to!)? A late evening setting and a gray vessel + counter top combo did the trick :) The effect though makes me feel like a true photographer!
Kara Sev, where "Kara" denotes "heat /spicy" in Tamil and "Sev" is referred to fried noodles made from chickpea flour. The heat in this dish is from Pepper which is the star ingredient. Made during festivals, these can also be enjoyed any time your palate gets into the craving mode. Like mine :). To my knowledge there are two main variations for these - very crispy and crunchy ones that's my favorite like these. And the other that's soft and almost melts in your mouth - OK not literally but in the sense that there's hardly any biting action needed.
My mom's version is what I make (like so many other traditional dishes) and love. They have such a satisfying crunch and the peppery bite makes it perfect for my heat loving palate. I make them occasionally during the year and especially during cold/rainy months. Overcast skies and windy days are a perfect backdrop for a tea time with some hot Ginger tea and crispy Kara Sev. Uncomplicated with just few ingredients, these are tailor made for snack lovers.
mom's recipe
Basic Information
Prep Time: Under 15 min
Cook Time: Under 15 min
Serves: 4 people
Yield: Makes around 200 grams
- 1 cup Besan (Chickpea flour)
- 1 cup Rice Flour
- 1/8 tsp Baking Soda (optional), see Tips
- 1 tsp whole Peppercorns
- 1 tbsp Ghee, see Tips
- Salt to taste
Tips1. Baking Soda : My mom's recipe notes mentions 1/2 tsp(!) of Baking soda, but I usually use a generous pinch instead, with satisfying results. At times, when I have skipped it altogether, they still turn out pretty well. To my knowledge, my mother never used the Baking soda herself inspite of her cooking notes mentioning it. In fact, I have never seen my mother use Baking soda for anything....!
2. Ghee: To make it Vegan, you can instead add some hot oil from the deep fryer.
Sift the flours well into a large bowl.
The amount of pepper totally depends on how much of it you can take ;). I usually do a coarse chop with a large knife (or use a mortar and pestle if you have it). The itsy bitsy pieces that you taste while you bite into the finished goodies is what makes it perfect, in my opinion.
But if you have people with a sensitive palate or if you are making it for teeny little ones who might not appreciate the large pieces, you can give a quick whirl in your coffee grinder to make it more coarser. To make your life even simpler, try the pepper mill. But coarser bits is recommended for that authentic taste. Keep in mind that the more powdery the pepper, more profound the pepper taste in your Kara sev.
Now add that along with flour and other seasoning.
Mix well to combine.
Add the Ghee. Now add in water - 1 tbsp at a time
until you can make a smooth
and semi-tight dough.
Traditionally a Kara Sev handle is used - a ladle with large perforated holes - like the one shown below. The norm is to place a small ball of the dough
and apply some pressure to smear/rub the dough on top of the ladle.
The idea is to press out some of the dough through the holes so that it forms into noodles.
You have to do this on top of the oil thats heated for deep frying.
These noodles will drop in the oil (if they are stuck just shake the ladle a bit or run a knife through them! Mostly it shouldn't stick that much. It means the dough is too tight and you can add in couple of tbsp of water to get to the desired consistency).
These noodles are fried until golden and drained on paper towels.
If you don't have the Kara sev ladle, you can use any perforated ladle you have and see if it does the trick. If you have a hand grater, use the large holes to do the same. Do not use the box grater that I show in the image below (I had only that and used it to show the large holes) that's not ideal for this purpose.
As you can see, its indeed some work to sit around smearing the dough on top of these ladles. If you do not have time/energy for this kind of physical activity, use a Murukku/Chakli Press and use the plate with the 3 holes in it. Squeeze a little at a time to make the Kara sev.
These are extremely crispy with the occasional peppery bite that I find perfect not only during festivals but also during winter/rainy weather. These keep well for weeks in an air tight container at room temperature.

Kwaku Agyin, 21, faces murder, sex assault, sex trafficking charges
Agyin faces 13 life sentences in multi-count indictment
SAN ANTONIO - The multi-count indictment against Kwaku Agyin, 21, alleges that he had sex with a 16-year-old Houston runaway, forced her into prostitution and killed a man who tried to help her.
According to prosecutors, Agyin shot Marcus Anderson to death on Oct. 2, 2011, after learning that he had befriended the teen and was trying to get her out of prostitution.
"Instead of just being a john to her, (Agyin) decided to use her to make his own money," Prosecutor Rose Sebell told the jury during opening arguments. "His greed is what caused this whole situation to go on for the next three weeks that led to the death of Marcus Anderson."
The multi-count indictments accuses Agyin of aggravated sexual assault, compelling prostitution, trafficking of a teenager, harboring a teenager and murder.
If he is found guilty on all counts, Agyin would be facing a maximum of 13 life sentences.
Testimony will continue on Thursday in Judge Lori Valenzuela's 437th District Court.

We look forward to joining Toronto's vibrant design scene with the opening of CB2 Queen West. We are thrilled to preserve the heritage of the Big Bop and are working to restore the building in a way that honours its significance.

With this in mind, the opening of CB2 Queen West is slated for early 2012. We look forward to celebrating with you and will be in touch soon with the Grand Opening details!

On Saturday, April 30th, the newest CB2 store opened in Washington, DC—Georgetown to be exact.
We're overwhelmed and grateful for the warm welcome—especially by our new four-legged friends. We love our pets, and the many we've featured in our catalogs over the years, so all were invited to stay, play, sit…
Thank You to everyone who came by to say hello, join the pillow fights, jump on the bed, and of course wag a tail—especially since a percentage of your purchases benefited the Capital Area Food Bank.
Spring is in the air and April is just weeks away from the opening of CB2 Georgetown.
Named after King George II in 1751, and originally a DC industrial port on the Potomac, Georgetown evolved into one of the nation's most iconic neighborhoods.
Its charm lies in its brick row houses and early Federalist architecture, cobblestone streets, and the prestigious Georgetown University campus—most of which are now protected since the district was listed on the National Register of Historic Landmarks.

Railroads have played a tremendous role in the life of Atlanta—even its name was shortened from "Atlantica-Pacifica" since just before the Civil War when rails created a link to both oceans. Growth came to the area once it became a major hub, which also made it a strategic target during the war.
Since Atlanta played such a key role in the Civil War, it was a central character and host to the 1939 premiere of 'Gone with the Wind', based on Margaret Mitchell's Pullitzer Prize winning novel. Held at Lowe's Grand Theatre, since demolished, Clark Gable, Vivien Leigh, Olivia de Havilland and Hattie McDaniel attended with producer David O. Selznick.
In 1868 the city became Georgia's 5th state capital and to promote it as the "New South"—based on a less agricultural economy—The Georgia Institute of Technology was created in 1885 and later, builder of the first supersonic aircarft, the Bell Aircraft Company opened a factory in Marietta.
In the 60s, the Civil Rights Movement was mainly organized within the Atlanta headquarters of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference and the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee—led primarily by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Ralph David Abernathy, and local college students.
In 1996, Atlanta hosted the Summer Olympics and today Centennial Olympic Park features concerts and festivals—and the world's largest Olympic Ring fountain.
Today Atlanta's the world headquarters for Delta Airlines, AT&T Mobility, Home Depot, UPS, the CDC—moved from New York in 1942 in response to widespread malaria cases in the Southeast—and it's the birthplace of Coca-Cola and Turner Broadcasting which includes CNN and the Cartoon Network.
While the greater area of Atlanta is home to three Fortune 100 companies, Midtown is the place for arts in the city. Within this 4-square-mile area, it's home to the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, Fox Theatre, Woodruff Arts Center, and the High Museum of Art.
